Chapter 5 Decline of Invitations
"Idols, with all due respect, AKB is indeed very popular now, but in the entertainment industry, it is better to join a big firm like us, your figure and appearance are excellent, and I think the future is promising......," said Sekine's agent.
When he said this, He Yue could see the disdain on his face that he tried his best to hide, idols or something, their status in the entertainment industry is almost the same, if not the lowest, orthodox firms, top actors and singers don't look down on idols.
But for He Yue, there is nothing to say, idols are her original intention in the RB entertainment industry, she hesitated two days before she first crossed here, but now that she has figured it out, she no longer has any hesitation and struggle, she likes idols, that is the starting point for her to get to know the RB entertainment industry, maybe she will do a lot of things in the future, but in any case, idols will be the starting point of her career in the entertainment industry.
"No, it's not necessary, I'm very interested in idols, so I have no plans to do anything else for the time being. He Yue said.
When the two were talking, Aki Takemoto on the side listened with envy and jealousy.
Sekine's agent is a famous agent in the RB entertainment industry, and his most powerful thing is that he almost does not bring famous artists but focuses on cultivating young potential artists, he brought out top girl idols such as Yakushimaru Hiroko and Koizumi Kyoko when he was young, and in the nineties, he participated in the discovery of Komuro Tetsuya, and after 2000, the fame of many artists such as Kyoko Hasegawa and Kanina is also related to him.
When he develops artists, he will not be limited to his own company, sign or not sign an artist, the company has its own plan, at this time, he will generously recommend potential artists to other companies, in the RB entertainment industry, there are few agents who are willing to do this, which has brought him quite a lot of connections.
Being favored by this kind of agent is what all teenagers and girls look forward to, because he almost means success.
When she first learned that Sekine's agent had come specifically to find He Yue and that Ai Hashimoto had something to give her, Aki Takemoto was ashamed, but she didn't leave, because she wanted to know the purpose of Sekine's visit to He Yue, and she heard an invitation that made him envious.
But He Yue did not hesitate to give up this kind of opportunity that she couldn't ask for, and she still wanted to go to AKB.
Aki Takemoto was young after all, and when he saw that He Yue was going to AKB, he shouted anxiously: "He Yue, what are you thinking!? What is good about going to AKB!? AKB is just popular now, and no one will know him in a year or two!"
Girl idol groups only have a popularity period of two or three years, this is starting from the kitten club, to the back of the Good Morning Girl Group, everyone knows, the public aesthetic requires more female appearance, so there is a limit on age, of course, it is not denied that there are also powerful idols that do not rely on appearance, but those are hundreds or even thousands of people who come out, an idol group of a few people, a dozen or even three hundred people like AKB Group, it is impossible for everyone to be popular, so it is natural for idol groups to decline after two or three years.
This is the understanding of the entire entertainment industry, and the difference in perception is at most whether it will decline in two or three years.
"I joined AKB because I liked it, and it has nothing to do with whether she is popular or not. He Yue said with a smile.
Hearing He Yue say this, Guan Gen shook his head and looked helpless, in his opinion, He Yue is too immature, he joins AKB because he likes it, and he can't eat it if he likes it, and after a while in the entertainment industry, he will find that his popularity is the key, and the combination you like will not give you more money because of this, and all the likes and loves will be reduced to a working relationship in the end.
In his opinion, a truly mature liking is best from a distance, and joining it will not make you like each other more, but will make you see the truth of the other party.
Real isn't pretty.
Idols will smell the same after picking their feet, they will be constipated, and they will pick their nostrils.
As for joining it, relying on its own strength to pull the team to continue to become popular?
Don't be stupid, Guan Gen invited He Yue to join Sony not because he was optimistic about her strength, Guan Gen was most satisfied with He Yue's stability at this age, he felt that such He Yue might become an interesting artist, coupled with her good appearance, there is still some cultivation value.
The entertainment industry is a place where big waves wash the sand, and it seems prudent for companies to sign people, and it is difficult for a girl like Aki Takemoto to enter a good company, but in fact, the competition is fierce within the company.
Tens of thousands of artists have been signed into various companies, and large companies like Sony may have hundreds of artists, but only those few people can really bring benefits to the company.
Aki Takemoto sharpens his head and wants to drill into a big company, and he can't change the fact that a large number of people are still eliminated internally even if they enter the company, as for Sekine to sign a red one? Don't be stupid, it's impossible, the red ones will always be a minority, and those who are not popular have no meaning to be known, and they may even be eliminated before their debut.
Therefore, after seeing that He Yue was very persistent, Guan Gen did not continue to persuade him, he invited He Yue to thank him more, since He Yue did not appreciate it, he was not interested in continuing to make up.
"If you insist, then I won't say anything, this is my personal phone number with Ai Hashimoto, if you want to call her, it's best to contact me first outside of working hours, and I'll help you confirm that she can answer the phone at this time, and then you can call her." After Sekine finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car and left.
He Yue also left school after perfunctory Aki Takemoto, and when she got home, she opened the letter that Ai Hashimoto wrote to herself.
"Thank you very much, I didn't know how much trouble I was in, until I went to the hospital, and the emergency doctor listened to my situation and explained that I didn't know that if it weren't for your help, I might not even be able to wait for an ambulance, it was a real danger, you really saved my life.
I don't know how to thank you, after all, I'm just a young actor who has just debuted, so I can only write to you......"
Ai Hashimoto's letter did not promise any benefits, but the whole article was full of sincere thanks, and the teenage girl, even in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, was willing to write such a sincere text in such a retro but serious way as writing a letter, which couldn't help but make He Yue also slightly moved.
In fact, before this, He Yue's perception of Hashimoto Ai was not good, she was a standard RB girl, happy with flattery, lacking resistance to temptation, and she had not yet learned to take work as her profession as a teenager.
Satomi Ishihara's performance on the side is an excellent example.
"Sadako 3D" is a big bad movie, which is estimated to be known by Satomi Ishihara by now, although Ai Hashimoto is a newcomer, she should have her own thoughts in her heart.
But during the filming process, no matter what the film is, you can see that Satomi Ishihara is always so serious, late, forgetting words, getting the wrong position, this kind of low-level mistake will never appear in Ishihara.
And this kind of mistake and unprofessionalism are all in Ai Hashimoto, and even in self-management, Ai Hashimoto brought cookies, the girl herself ate a lot, the calories of that thing are not small, although Ishihara received cookies and ate a good response, but she only ate one piece.
Not only this cookie, but also the condolences on the set of the movie shooting, there will always be a lot of condolences, various directors, leading actors, investors, and even people related to the leading actor have sent it, but Ishihara has always had a clear understanding of how much he can eat every day, and he will not eat more when the calories are enough every day.
Looking at the letter in his hand, He Yue felt that he was looking at people a little too one-sidedly.
Although it's not professional enough, but if you think about it differently, Ai Hashimoto is only fourteen years old, and Satomi Ishihara is also a chubby chick with a lot of meat on her face when she is fourteen years old, and she seems to be too harsh on her.
It can be seen from this letter that at least in terms of sincerity, Ai Hashimoto is very worthwhile.
