Chapter 127: Communication with Yasusu Akimoto
"Less nonsense, I didn't say that!What are you doing with me this time!?" Akimoto quickly denied and changed the subject.
"That's the case, is there any specific plan for the operation of Guangzong Kaoru?" He Yue asked.
"It's not good for her to remove those TOP treatments right away, so the plan of the operation is to upgrade her to Group K at the time of the Dome and let her start over from Group K. After starting to talk about business, Akimoto Yasushi also became serious.
"Hmm...... I think it's better to let her spend more time in graduate school, if not later, then at least with the thirteenth students. He Yue said.
"Is that what you think?"
"Forgive me for being direct, the operation is too anxious about the operation of Guangzong Xun, and he doesn't know what the essence of the general election is, half a year is not enough time for her to accumulate enough fans, if the operation really wants her to enter the circle, it is better to press her from the beginning and not give her any resources at all. He Yue said.
"I've heard your explanations for the general election say that Kotsu Sotoru said that they hit the nail on the head and are very in place, but there are some things that I can't control. Akimoto Yasu did not do Tai Chi like he did with the media outside, but directly showed his helplessness about some things.
"At least let her be a graduate student for a while longer, the seniors in Group K are very good, which is our goal in the future, but at this stage, I think it is better for her to be a graduate student. โ
"I see, what about Nogizaka?" what do you think?" asked Akimoto again.
He Yue said: "Regarding the recent Nogizaka, I only have one thought, why didn't I use "้ณใๅบใชใใฎใฟใผ" as the main hit?"
"Tone ใๅบใชใใฎใฟใผ" is Nogizaka's third single to be released soon, "Go! Bicycle", compared to the idol style of the title song, this song is more handsome and rock.
"Do you like this one more?" asked Yasu Akimoto.
"I think Nogizaka has a very important positioning problem, and the three singles that have been set now are obviously all cute girl songs, but ...... This kind of music is too memorable in the face of AKB and peach clover. He Yue said.
"So your idea is to give them a more rock or dark genre, like AKB did at the beginning?" asked Yasushi Akimoto.
"It's okay to rock 'n' roll, there's no need for darkness, that's evil. He Yue said.
AKB initially went through a similar style, such as "Uniforms Are in the Way", but this attempt was a failure for AKB, and those dark singles left almost no memory.
"To put it bluntly, what AKB needs now is not "Uniforms Really Get in the Way", but "RIVER". He Yue said.
Yasu Akimoto nodded, "RIVER" is AKB's turnaround single.
"It's strange to say, idols always give people a cute feeling, but the real turnaround tracks of idols are mostly rock, intense, or energetic. He Yue said.
AKB's turnaround songs are "Loud Diamond" and "RIVER", and in the future, Nogizaka's style will change and basically establish its status as "Uniform Doll" and "Kimi's Name Hope", and before AKB, the two most popular songs of the Good Morning Girl Group were also warm and lively.
"I know, I'll start thinking about Nogizaka's style for the next single. Yasudo Akimoto.
He Yue's ideas actually can't easily change Qiu Yuanyasu's thoughts with operations, why Qiu Yuankang values He Yue, in fact, the main reason is that many of the ideas he put forward are consistent with the ideas of operations, and then these ideas were quickly determined to be correct later.
In his opinion, this is very difficult for He Yue, the idea of operation is determined after repeated discussions and investigations by several people and dozens of people, but He Yue's side is the idea of roasting his own ability and speculation, and the ideas of the two are consistent, which shows that He Yue has a very keen understanding of idols and the market.
Although many of her ideas are still very tender, Yasushi Akimoto seems to have great potential.
"By the way, there is one last question, Mr. Akimoto, what do you think of team4?" asked He Yue.
"Team4...... You're on the point. Yasudo Akimoto.
The current Team4 is two completely different teams from the Team4 in a few years, the current 4 teams are dominated by the golden nine, and a few years later they are mainly 13 and 14 students.
When it comes to AKB's historical inheritance, the Golden Ninth Phase is a first-term student with high hopes, and the Ninth Phase is the top student in the entire AKB in terms of appearance, strength and even variety shows, but now Team4 has just been established, and the road taken by the nine-term student is not smooth.
The first three teams of AKB have gradually formed their own temperament after several years of brewing and exchange, and from the development of Group A, to the vitality of Group K, and then to the cuteness of Group B, this itself has formed a perfect "cycle" or "system".
"The style of the idol, or the role, is also very important to the team, but T4 is now facing a problem of unclear style and unclear route, right?" asked He Yue.
Akimoto nodded and said: "Yes, although the members of T4 are very distinctive, their characteristics have not departed from the traditional nest of AKB on the whole, Yamauchi and Takeuchi are cute in Group B, Yokoyama and Shimada are seedlings in Group K, and Shimazaki and other members are more suitable for Group A...... In fact, we are already thinking about whether to dismantle the 4 teams and stuff them into the AKB 3 team. โ
He Yue said directly: "I don't think it's so necessary. โ
"What do you think?"
"You're right about the traditional route of idols, the three AKB teams have reached a very high point, but I think there is another direction that you adults have overlooked. He Yue said.
"In what way?"
"Variety!"
"Variety show?!" Akimoto Yasushi was surprised that He Yue actually mentioned this.
"That's right, the Golden Nine Phase includes many classic character style types, not even just the ninth issue, and now in T4, such as Miori Ichikawa who was born in the tenth phase, and Kawaei Li Nai who was born in the eleventh phase, you can actually try to take the variety show route!" He Yue said.
"Variety show...... It's not that easy to walk...... "Yasudo Akimoto.
If you want to say that the entertainment industry also needs talent, what is the talent of idols? It's not singing, it's not dancing, it's not variety shows, it's first of all, it's a face, if you don't have a good-looking face, at least it's a face above the average level, it's hard to become an idol.
And already have a good-looking face, it is difficult to demand that they have a talent for variety shows, and even say that it is a question of whether a girl with such a good-looking face is willing to do variety shows.
But He Yue knows that now is the best opportunity, to determine the style of T4 and take the road of variety shows, there is no better time period than now.
Moreover, Qiu Yuankang didn't know, but she knew that these girls in T4 actually had a talent for variety shows!
