Chapter 47: ...... in the Cup What the?
Not long after their debut, even though Murayama had appeared on camera as a former child star, they still looked very stiff, and more importantly, in a hurry, of course, the three of them had not read any scripts.
In the absence of a script, Murayama can still read and talk stiffly, and on the other hand, Nishino and Saito are even more embarrassed, they can't even talk to maintain the show, and when Murayama asks to speak, the two just sit there in a daze, looking at He Yue with some panic.
After a pause, He Yue, who also understood that the two might not be very good at recording the show, had to start hosting the show alone.
"Although we got the opportunity to produce this show, the company didn't ask us to do anything specifically, so my thinking is, isn't reality TV very popular abroad now?
"Is the content of the program the process itself ......?" Asuka Saito hesitated and reread it, feeling that He Yue's words were very tongue-twisting.
But everyone understands what He Yue means, this kind of show does not need a script, because all the processes themselves are programs.
"But...... What the hell are we going to do?" Nishino asked, and He Yue still hadn't said what he was going to do.
"To make a show, we must first have funds, so we must first find money!" He Yue said.
"Funds? Need funds? Don't we have the funds for the show!?" Following the tradition of program production, although he already knew the current situation of no money before the show started, Murayama still asked a little bluntly.
"Yes, the program team said, the film crew or something is only temporarily leased to us, if we don't have the funds, we can only do the program for four months, unless we have enough funds after four months, the program must end!" He Yue said.
"This can't be, right!?We're only junior high school students!" said Murayama Aki.
Presumably, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, the so-called "collecting funds" has become a gimmick, and the program team does not really want them to make money, but to control the length of the program.
It is impossible for He Yue to complain to the audience about what kind of agreement the company has with them, and the audience will not care too much about this kind of gimmick, for the audience, the show is good-looking.
"There's no rule that says junior high school students can't make money, right? And we just do our best, and as for how far, thinking about it before doing it will only make us give up!" He Yue said.
"And what do you say we're going to do?"
"We don't have anything, and it's probably difficult to go directly to the TV station to find investment, and to go to the manufacturer to find funds, so my idea is, let's make products first!" He Yue said.
"Isn't our product the show itself?" asked Nishino.
"No, no, no, although the show itself can also be called a product, we can actually do something else, we may not be able to do technical things, but creative things, we can actually try it!" He Yue said.
"So what exactly are we going to do?" asked Asuka Saito.
"I don't know if you've ever bought it...... Gacha?" He Yue asked.
"Gacha?" Murayama Aki and Saito Nishino looked at each other, of course they knew what a gacha was, but why did He Yue suddenly mention this? Is it a gacha?
And Guangtian, who was in front of the computer, was also a little curious after hearing He Yue put forward this idea, what was she going to do?
No kidding.
Gacha, which became popular in RB in the 80s, can be regarded as a peripheral market for anime models, and there have been companies that have made a lot of money through this in history, but what can the three of them do? Make gacha and sell them using the characters of AKB48 and Nogizaka 46? That's impossible, Nogizaka doesn't say it first, now AKB48's personal and business image is one of the most valuable business images in the whole RB, and after the members themselves join the team, the commercial use of their personal images is directly handed over to the company, and they themselves are not qualified to use it, let alone use AKB48.
In RB, a country that is almost perverted and strict about the use of copyright, it is impossible for the four of them to use AKB's image, not even their own image, and as for the images of other anime and games, they also belong to their respective production companies, so it is impossible for them to get the production rights.
Then the only way left, if you contact He Yue before, it is obvious that they have only one way to create their own creation.
But can the image you create be sold so easily?
Hirota didn't believe it at all, if it was really so easy to make money, others would have done it a long time ago.
In the show, Nishino also asked, "We shouldn't be qualified to use the appearance of AKB's predecessors to make gacha, right?"
"That's right, we draw it ourselves!" He Yue said.
"But...... Can the images we create ourselves sell for money?" asked Asuka Saito.
"Anyway, let's try it first!" He Yue said.
After saying that, she actually found a few sets of paper and pens and distributed them to the three of them, and the three of them created images on the moving van together.
Aki Murayama and Asuka Saito put down their pens after a few minutes of trying, they didn't have much drawing skills and experience, and it was really difficult for them to draw any original characters.
However, Nanase Nishino kept her head down and drew something, until twenty minutes later, she put down the pen in her hand and stuffed what she had created to He Yue.
Unfolding the paper handed over by Nishino, several strange little things that resemble the "bean-like" she created later are posed with strange poses.
"What is this? It's disgusting!" Asuka Saito couldn't help but comment.
She was still trying hard to be the so-called "sweet bird" mode of traditional idols, but looking at the weird round ball like a bean, with only eyes on her facial features, and a two-legged creature under the ball, she couldn't help but darken a little.
"This ...... Are we going to make money from this?" Murayama also wanted to complain.
Well...... That's almost impossible, even after Nishino becomes famous, only fans will pay attention to this thing, and it's unrealistic to make a million yen in a few months like beans.
Therefore, He Yue took out the paper he had prepared before and said, "Come and see what I drew before." ”
The three of them cast their eyes on He Yue's hand, and on the paper she was holding, a young lady in an OL uniform seemed to be pressing the cup of instant noodles with her body.
"You drew this?" asked Murayama.
"That's right, isn't it interesting?" He Yue asked.
"Like...... Sound familiar?" Nishino asked.
"Well, I called her...... Miss Nanamin on the cup. He Yue said.
