Chapter 18: The Real Unspoken Rules
In December, there are fewer vocal and dance classes like this, and girls are more trained as entertainers.
It was December 2nd, and the girls' new course was attended by their agent.
Takeuchi Linya, as the agent of the thirteenth student, has been basically familiar with the girls in two months.
The 42-year-old agent is already considered an older person in this circle, and 20 years of experience makes him very up-to-date with this new course.
Standing in front of everyone, Takeuchi put down the documents in his hand and said: "What I want to tell you today is some taboos and places to pay attention to in the entertainment industry. ”
As soon as they heard the word, the girls immediately came to their senses.
Ryoka Oshima was the first to raise her hand and asked loudly, "Takeuchi-san, Takeuchi-san!, did Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro really co-star in NG!?"
"You want to know this?" asked Takeuchi.
"Uh-huh!" most of the girls nodded enthusiastically, and it had to be said that gossip is one of the primitive instincts of human beings.
There is no reaction to this question, I'm afraid there are a few people such as Murayama and He Yue.
Ayumi Hamasaki and Amuro's performance NG is...... Some. Takeuchi hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Oh, oh, oh!" the girls were excited.
"But it's not what you think!" said Takeuchi.
"First of all, let me ask you, what is the main reason why two artists don't appear on the same stage and in the same show?" asked Takeuchi.
"Not compatible?" guessed Ryoka Oshima.
Takeuchi shook his head and pointed his finger at Murayama Aki: "Murayama, you say." ”
"The image and role are similar?" said Murayama Road.
The main reason why artists are different from each other is that their images and roles are similar, and then there are close or conflicting market audiences, 99% of the so-called co-acting NG in this circle are for this reason, and this so-called co-acting NG is actually just trying to be on different stages, and when necessary, they will still appear on the same stage or even cooperate, only 1% of the special circumstances are really contradictory, or even bigger problems in the co-acting NG. ”
"Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro are like this, although there are many conflicts in the market of the two people, and they even had a hard time on the annual list in the past few years, but in fact, their private relationship is not much worse as far as I know, at least not to the extent that they don't mind that the other party doesn't want to appear on the same stage. ”
"Eh......" The girls reacted with a look of disappointment.
"From this point of view, in fact, you see that not only the two of them, including Koda Laiwei, Udada Hikaru, and recently Ai Otsuka, Mika Nakajima, Yui, singers will always try to avoid being on the same stage, and the same is true for actors and variety shows, Maki Horikita, Masami Nagasawa, Erika Toda and Yui Aragaki , they may have co-performances before the age of twenty, and after the age of twenty, when they can be on their own, this kind of performance will be much less. ”
"But didn't Toda and Yui Aragaki act together in "CODEBLUE"?"
"This is a rare situation, Fuji TV prime time, the real starring role is Tomohisa Yamashita, so the two of them will cooperate, and let's say in private, Toda's momentum is no longer as good as Aragaki Yui. ”
Of course, this is just the broker's own opinion.
"Then ......" The girls wanted to say something more, but Takeuchi interrupted: "These are not actually the main content of today's class, you can just listen to it, what I will talk about below is important." ”
After everyone quieted down, Takeuchi asked, "Do you all know Tetsuro Izukawa?"
Of course I know, this is RB's very famous "reaction artist", that is, an artist who specializes in doing funny things on the show and even being rectified, and then makes exaggerated reactions.
"Then you should know all about this, right?" said Takeuchi and took out a box, and inside the box was a crayfish.
Of course, this thing is not for eating in class, and one of Tetsuro Izukawa's most famous jokes is to clamp his nose with the shrimp claws of a crayfish.
"Who's going to try it?" asked Takeuchi as he picked up the crayfish.
Try to clip your nose? Don't be kidding, we're here to be idols, and the girls are very resistant.
"Let's try it, you'll know if you try!" Takeuchi tempted.
All the girls turned their attention to He Yue.
Forehead...... At this time, He Yue has become the default guy.
Of course, she didn't like to be caught by crayfish, but looking at the eyes of the girls around her, she could only stand up.
Walking to Takeuchi's side, He Yue picked up the crayfish with a disgusted expression.
"He Yue, come on!" "Yueyue, let's do it!" The girls were noisy, looking like they were not afraid of big things.
Of course, they don't really want to cheer up, but they just think it's fun.
Although he hated it in his heart, He Yue slowly clamped his nose with the crayfish's shrimp claws.
"Oh oh oh oh!" the girls were happy to watch, and He Yue, after the initial nervousness, quickly discovered the problem.
"Huh?" she looked at Takeuchi in surprise.
"What's wrong?" asked Takeuchi's agent.
"No...... Doesn't it hurt?" He Yue said.
"It doesn't hurt?"
The girls didn't quite believe it, it was the nose, the crab claws were clamped on the nose, and one side was inside the nose, so the delicate skin was clamped, how could it not hurt.
But He Yue's expression didn't seem to be fake.
"Does it really hurt?" the girls asked.
"It really doesn't hurt, it's just a very light, pinched feeling, but it doesn't hurt at all. He Yue said.
"Alright, let's put it down and go back. Takeuchi asked He Yue to put the crayfish back into the box.
After He Yue went back, Takeuchi said: "This is what I mainly want to tell you today, what are the unspoken rules of the real entertainment industry? ”
Takeuchi's words made most girls confused, what to maintain?
"Tetsuro Izukawa's crayfish may not be very painful, but you must show that it hurts, at least most people have to show that it hurts, and for example, the hot bath skit of the Ostrich Club, the temperature set by default in the circle is 42 degrees, which can be said to be the most suitable temperature for the human body to take a bath, but once it falls into the water, it must be very hot, which is the real unspoken rule of the entertainment industry!"
Takeuchi's words opened a new door for the girls, and they realized that there are actually many unspoken rules like this in the entertainment industry.
For example, entertainment venues, apartments, backstage, where artists haunt, the more unattractive the person, the more likely he is to be a big guy and must be respected.
After entering December, most of the thirteenth students took this kind of course, all kinds of taboos and rules in the entertainment industry, people who must be known, no casual photos are allowed outside, there is a price limit for receiving gifts, and the SNS before joining the group must be deleted......
All kinds of things to pay attention to can be regarded as an eye-opener for the girls, not to mention anything else, just the SNS before entering the group, it took the girls two whole days to delete it.
After all these basic tasks were done, the time has come to December 8th, 2011, which is the sixth anniversary of AKB48's establishment and the day when the 13th batch of students first revealed.
