Chapter 149: I Just Want to Sing
The more Michiko listened, the more she liked the song "Although Our Hands Are Empty", and she couldn't help but fantasize about it, feeling that this song was written for her - a very idealistic idea, but the more difficult it is for people, the more they hope to have a spiritual sustenance.
She misses Rin Chihara, the two hours she spent with him, his computer, and her free time in Dragon's Treasure.
She couldn't stop crying, quickly apologized and went to the bathroom, washed her little face well, and then looked at herself in the mirror and began to be in a daze, but the song just now was still echoing in her ears.
Is that song written based on yourself or just to fit the plot of the TV series?
Is Master willing to help me one more time?
She was there for a while, not sure of this, after all, her master-apprentice relationship with Chihara Rin was fake, Chihara Rin had no responsibility and obligation to her, and she didn't want to cause too much trouble to Chihara Rin - her mother had made too much trouble for her, and she had hated this kind of behavior of finding trouble for others since she was a child, and she didn't want to take the initiative to do it.
It's just that if Rin Chihara refuses to help her, she can't resist her mother at all.
Finally, she sighed faintly, took a tissue to blot the water on her little face, and silently turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
…………
Michiko is still shrouded in the shadow of her mother, so depressed that her life cannot be changed, but Izumi Banquan is stunned to find that almost overnight, her life has changed drastically.
She's on fire, she's really on fire, although I can't say how long she can be on fire, but at least this week, no singer has attracted more attention than her.
Everyone smiled at her, praised her singing, praised her for being a natural singer, and even a month ago, the aunt who scolded "stop daydreaming, people like you won't succeed" made a cordial call, and cared about her life with a cordial tone that had never been seen for more than ten years, and deeply blamed herself, saying that she was angry at the beginning, and now she understands it, and welcomes her to move back to live- It's all relatives, it's only appropriate to live together, forget about the little unhappiness in the past!
Of course, her aunt is also very concerned about her career development, and wants to recommend her nephew to be her agent, and bragging about her nephew's ability.
Banquan Spring Water didn't agree, she was young and young, and she wasn't stupid, but she wasn't embarrassed to refuse, she wasn't very good at rejecting others since she was a child, so she could only be vague and said that she would consider it well.
But this is not the end, several staff members of the music supervision team also tentatively asked her if she wanted to join a certain office, a certain brokerage company, she was not sure, or could only say that she would consider it carefully.
The reporter also began to look for her, fans were very curious about her, eager to know everything about her, and if there was a market demand, someone would do it, Banquan Spring found that someone in her apartment was already asking about her, probably an entertainment reporter found her place of residence through the traces.
She feels extremely uncomfortable with this kind of huge change in her life, and she doesn't know how to deal with these situations, she feels that her life is chaotic in an instant, and she even hopes that her reputation will come out here, and she doesn't have to go any further—she is very satisfied with her previous life, she can get a share of money for singing the theme song, and there is royalty income in the back, and she has no worries about life, she just needs to think about the song with peace of mind and do her best to sing it well, and she doesn't have to worry about anything else.
But the development of things could not be stopped by her, "lemon" and "Although Our Hands Are Empty" two songs more and more widespread, and the sales are getting better and better, after Wednesday on the public trust chart "Akamaru soared", on the single-day singles chart is also soaring, the ranking changes every day, only up but not down - "Lemon" rose to 12th, "Although Our Hands Are Empty" came later but the momentum was even stronger, chasing 15th.
This represents a large amount of royalties, and it is a long stream, I wonder if Banquan Spring Water can eat for ten or twenty years with these two songs, but this reputation is bigger, and there are more people who come to harass her, which makes her doubly headache for a while, and just when she hesitated to go to Chihara Rin for an idea, the time is also on Friday, and the third episode of "Unnatural Death" is broadcast - the average time-sharing rating is 18.7%, the highest time-sharing rating is 20.1%, and the viewership share has risen to 36% , which rose two places to 13th in the rankings.
Rin Chihara breathed a long sigh of relief, this result can finally be said to be so-so in prime time, although it is still not high, but the increase is great, but the viewership share has not changed much, which means that a new audience group has joined in, so it can only be said that the fans have finally taken action and joined the army of watching the drama.
This momentum is very good, and it is very helpful to win the vicious competition in the same period - the competition in the same period is often a winner-takes-all situation, as long as the programs in the same period can be suppressed, with the development of time, it will naturally be able to win the audience from other programs in the same period, so that the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker!
Chihara Rin was slightly satisfied, feeling that his small dagger had a tendency to develop towards the Roman short sword, and it was possible to develop a long sword and a giant sword in the future, and it would be more convenient to chop up the opponent at that time.
After watching his own ratings, he immediately cared about his opponent again.
TV Sakurajima's "Late Night Rush Search" continued to improve steadily, with the average time-sharing rating rising to 17.5%, while Tokyo Broadcasting TEB's "Women's Emergency Agency" saw its average time-sharing rating rise to 14.3%, which was also a slight increase - the new audience for "Unnatural Death" came from the fan base, and it has not hindered their natural growth in viewership for the time being.
As for Chaoyue TV's "Kang Tian Chengyou", the average time-sharing rating has not changed, it is still 12.8%, which is obviously about to fall behind.
Rin Chihara finished the ratings report analysis meeting, and felt that it was obvious that he needed to add more fire, so he directly called Hitomi Konoe in and asked, "What has Banquan been doing lately?"
Konoe Hitomi said, "She has been hiding in the apartment and not coming out. ”
"Why"
"She's famous, so many people harass her!" Konoe Hitomi's envious saliva is about to flow out, if she becomes famous, she will be able to "return home", so that the villagers who laughed at her at the beginning can take a good look at the majesty of the famous actor Hitomi-sama.
Chihara Rin thought about it, and felt that there was no way to do this kind of thing, so he said directly: "Call her, I have something to look for her." ”
Hitomi Konoe immediately asked with concern, "Good thing or bad thing"
Chihara Rin tilted his head and glanced at her, looked around and didn't find the script, he couldn't give her a blow to the head while sitting, and scolded directly: "Where is so much nonsense, hurry up and call someone!"
"Yes!" Konoe Hitomi answered and ran away, bringing in the Banquan spring water in less than half an hour, and said happily: "People have brought it, Chihara-sensei!"
"Make tea, make good tea!" Chihara Rin is very kind, and Banquan Spring Water is a hero.
"Yes!" Konoe Hitomi replied, and the joy went away, and Banquan Izumi sat at the desk a little shyly, and asked softly, "Chihara-sensei, is there something looking for me?"
Rin Chihara immediately put a watch in front of her and said with a smile: "I want you to be on a few programs, there are TV interviews, and there are also radio programs, how do you see it?"
He thinks it's a good thing, and it can expand the popularity of the Banquan spring water. Of course, he also promoted "Unnatural Death" by the way, and the lines were all written for Banquan Quanshui, and she just followed it when the time came.
But Izumi Banquan looked at the watch and was silent, and asked embarrassedly, "Is this important, Chihara-sensei?"
Rin Chihara was slightly puzzled: "What's the matter, you don't want to participate, the fans want to know you and meet their wishes, which is good for your future development." ”
Banquan Izumi was even more embarrassed, lowered his head and said softly, "I just want to sing......"
She just wants to sing well, sing the songs she likes, and feels that it is her job to perform songs, and she shows up to decorate herself with songs, which is an idol - she is not an idol, even if she has no interest in being an idol singer.
But after she finished speaking, she immediately raised her head bravely and continued to ask, "Is this important to Chihara-sensei?"
Rin Chihara looked at her face and was silent for a moment.
Banquan Spring Water should be regarded as a pure singer, probably she is not interested in being famous itself, I hope everyone likes her songs more than her person.
This is quite rare, in another year or two, after the second idol trend begins, this kind of singer will basically be gone, and the public trust list will be crowded with "love you", "really love you", "I really, really love you" This kind of stupid idol song - idols sell themselves, and they can't wait to be as famous as possible, but they don't care about songs, they are just treated as tools.
Chihara Rin doesn't dislike idols, that's their way of survival, but they also appreciate Banquan Spring's original intention, and feel that a talent like her is the most suitable for artistic work, but he needs ratings, and the ratings are high, which means that there are enough people to see in order to get the social repercussions he wants.
He needs Banquan Spring Water to help bring higher popularity to the theme song, so that more people can watch the show, and if there are enough people, the social repercussions will naturally come.
"For me, it's important," he said. After a pause, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he generally likes to lure others to follow him, and does not like to force others to change their will, and immediately added: "But if you don't want to participate, I won't force you, I'll think of other ways, it's okay." ”
It's a bit silly, but if Banquan Izumi wants to keep her pure singing sui, he can accept it - everyone pursues different things, just like he has been pursuing what he wants, in a sense, he can understand Banquan Izumi, even if Sakaizumi should actually say that he is popular, he can order her to do something.
Banquan Quanshui glanced at him seriously, nodded lightly, and said, "Then I understand, I will participate." ”
She was willing to do something for Rin Chihara, even if she didn't want to be more famous, and she really worked hard to do it, and immediately began to participate in TV talk shows, music radio shows, and worked tirelessly, trying to find every opportunity to promote "Unnatural Death" according to Rin Chihara's requirements - it's easy, "Lemon" and "Unnatural Death" are closely related, and when it comes to this song, it is inevitable to talk about TV series.
But Banquan Spring is really not good at this, she is very shy, shy to the point of being a little clumsy, but the effect is still extremely hot, she has been loved by more people, and with the love of her and the song, the ratings of "Unnatural Death" have also begun to climb.
In the fourth episode, it broke the 20% average hour-sharing rating mark in one fell swoop;
In the fifth episode, the ratings increased sharply again, with the average time-sharing rating reaching 22.4%, and finally squeezed into the top 10 of the hit list.
In the end, after the sixth episode was broadcast in mid-February, the popularity of these two songs began to slowly subside, but at this time, "Unnatural Death" already had a sufficient base, and the social repercussions began to ferment, and someone finally asked the question - is it true that there are so many "unnatural deaths" that have not been pursued
