Chapter 418: Popularity Premonition
It is very subtle that in this December when Maeda is about to graduate, He Yue's light is not inferior to that of his predecessors.
After joining AKB for two years, she had many highlight moments before that, detonating the audience with interesting performances on variety shows, making a splash in men's clothing at a boxing competition, and beating everyone her peers on the basketball court, but the problem is that her performances are usually single-serve and relatively niche.
There are indeed a lot of people watching variety shows, but most of the time she appears as a supporting role, although the performance is interesting, but there are few follow-up invitations, the men's clothing at the guessing box conference is impressive, but the AKB guessing boxing conference is not an event that the whole people pay attention to, and the highlight performance on the basketball court, many people are surprised to see it, and they will not really be interested in a person who is better at basketball.
For a variety of reasons, He Yue obviously has countless opportunities, but he is still an "ordinary" AKB member by mistake.
This "ordinary" is, of course, in quotation marks, because those who know her well know that she is really not ordinary at all in the team.
Can ordinary AKB members participate in team planning? Can ordinary AKB members interfere with AKB selection?Can ordinary AKB members kick the management with roundabout kicks at AKS headquarters?
But outside, the so-called outside the village, she is really an ordinary member.
Until the end of 2013.
He Yue is finally not ordinary.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, an artist's popularity usually starts with a variety show that detonates the topic, such as the annual TheManzai, that is, Japan's cross talk competition, in most cases, famous artists cannot participate in this show, basically every year as soon as the competition ends, the champion artist will immediately begin to receive countless workloads.
Many artists who became famous on this show were still working in taverns a week before participating in the competition, and then became famous, and after the show ended, the agent answered the phone and received a mobile phone battery explosion, and the schedule of two jobs a week before was now directly filled with countless jobs.
This is a very common way to become popular in the Japanese entertainment industry, and the other kind of popularity is not this explosive, relying on a show to suddenly become popular.
Compared with He Yue's state, although she is only 16 years old, she actually relies on two years of accumulation, relying on the praise of many collaborators, and relying on the live performance on variety shows that never disappoints, and gradually gets more job opportunities.
This year-end and New Year holidays are the time for her to focus on this accumulation.
The three-day special program at the beginning of each year in the Japanese entertainment industry, normally speaking, does not give an artist too many opportunities to appear, many artists themselves also have familiar cooperative TV stations or production teams, in addition to this station and this group, there are not too many opportunities to be on the show, because everyone is staring at these three days, you want to be on others and want to be on it, unless you are popular, otherwise you can't give you too many opportunities.
But what is special about He Yue is that many of the things she participates in are not "normal" variety shows that can only be on if the producer gives her a chance.
Let's take a look at what He Yue participated in at the end of this year.
The women's version of "SASUKE", a game variety show that relies on physical fitness to win, He Yue is one of the fifty participants.
She was one of about thirty participants.
and "Human Observation", this is a program that she found with her own ability, and even introduced a tripartite cooperation including advertisers, as a middleman, He Yue, starring in a paragraph, and even planning the content of a program by herself is no problem, right?
On the surface, it seems that she has won three shows, which is a big advantage compared to only one show under normal circumstances, but "SASUKE" and "All on the Run" are theoretically not in the category of "can only appear in one show".
Because the number of actors in these two shows is very large, there are 30 people in the escape, and there are 50 people in "SASUKE", so many people in the lineup, and the average time and camera assigned to each person is very small, and under normal circumstances, it is just over a minute.
What can you do in that little time?
However, this is where He Yue is powerful.
Obviously, these two shows don't have much time to act, and they are not important performances, but she just used her ability to open up the situation, and she got the best results in the end of both shows.
That's amazing.
The rewards are actually trivial, is the first prize of 1.08 million yuan in "Running Away" (actually half the same as Ikuta)? Because of the topic, He Yue is likely to get several opportunities to appear in variety shows after this, if these opportunities are converted into money, what is a mere one million?
Let's just say that these opportunities have brought He Yue more than one million in starring fees!
Therefore, on those variety shows, many of the artists cheering after getting 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of bonuses are exaggerated performances, or in other words, what really makes them cheer is actually the more job opportunities brought by their excellent performance, rather than the hundreds of thousands of yen in front of them.
As for those who really cheer for hundreds of thousands of yen, and maybe even play tricks and cheat, they are all stupid and short-sighted!
As for "Human Observation", it is even more powerful, the manufacturer, not the TV station or the program team, came to the door and asked her to cooperate by name, and then she introduced the TV station and the program team, and even created a special planning link, not to mention that she is a 16-year-old girl, how many people in the entire Japanese entertainment industry can do it?
She purely relied on her own ability to win the opportunity to shine in these three shows, which is the way for the real strength to become popular.
Even...... And it doesn't stop there.
In addition to these three programs, He Yue also appeared in a fourth program during the New Year, but in that program, she was not the protagonist but the planner.
This is the New Year's single-shot "East King".
"Dong Dawang" has basically been determined to be officially launched in April next year, but before the start of the broadcast, the first episode of the single broadcast to explore the program form and market is also a very common way of operation, the recording of this show, He Yue is watching the whole process offstage, normally speaking, as a member of the production team, she does not need to appear in the whole process.
But how could the chicken thief's TV station give up such a big gimmick as "girl idol prime-time variety show producer"? So during the filming of the whole show, there were two cameras on the left and one on the right facing her, desperately shooting and recording her every subtle expression, and many of these things were edited into the show in the end, if you calculate the time, her appearance time is higher than that of some artists who participated in the show!
