Chapter 386: Fans Are Gods

The signing was successfully completed, starting today, Natsuori Fukuzawa and Natsusa Fukuzawa officially became trainees of the CBEE agency, after about a year of training, they debuted as idols in the form of incomplete cocoons, and began to gather fans, so that fans can pay attention to their growth, until the moment when they break out of the cocoon and become a perfect butterfly - then turn into singers, actresses, broadcasters, models or MCs depending on the situation, but only one of the thirty idols can go further into the entertainment industry, most of them are married.

There's no way, training and idol activities basically take up the time, in this case, isn't it a joke that you let these people take the university entrance examination again?

It's hard to find a formal job with a college degree, and odd jobs are even cheaper, so it's better to be a housewife with a young and beautiful personality - it's better than being a wine girl, right?

Jun Okada didn't hide these things, and he made it clear to Kitahara Shuji and others, and gave Xia Ori and Xia Sha the first lesson of idols on the spot, and explained the idol constitution to them:

1. Idols are a profession that sells dreams - idols themselves are commodities;

Second, hard work is a matter of course - there is no future without hard work;

3. The producer is always correct - obey the command and strictly manage himself;

Fourth, fans are gods, and betrayal is not allowed - whoever betrays will be spurned.

What he asked for was very clear, from now on, let Xia Ori and Xia Sha not think of themselves as people, treat themselves as glamorous and beautiful puppets, what fans like about you, you will try to show which point - you can be crazy, you can be sick, you can be blackened, you can be cute, you can be proud, you can pretend to be the little girl next door, you can pretend to be a daughter, you can pretend to be a young girl, you can pretend to be a snack goods, as long as the fans like it!

Only by working hard can fans like it, and if fans like it, they can sell their dreams, and then there will be a future to speak of.

The most important thing is to never betray your fans, that is, don't do anything that makes your fans disgusted - such as don't fall in love, don't let yourself belong to one person and let everyone down!

There are no requirements in the trainee contract, after all, the idols of the cultivation department are very young when they start to cultivate, and love is still very far away, but once they find out, they will be brushed off immediately, and they will be eliminated immediately, and they will not be merciless, and when the idol contract is officially signed, these will be written in black and white in the contract, and it is not as simple as brushing off if it is violated-two words: lose money!

After Jun Okada gave Xia Ori Natsu the first lesson and the most important lesson of the idol, he took them to the training room and threw them in, and handed them over to the instructor, and all their spare time except for completing compulsory education in the future will basically pass here - after school at three o'clock in the afternoon, they will come here after school, and practice until ten o'clock in the evening to go home, the company has a car to send it in circles, don't worry about safety, and don't want to rest on rest days, 24 hours stationed here, the company provides dormitories for dormitory practice.

What cram school, club activities, group worship, after signing the idol contract, the collective dormitory was not discussed.

There are nearly thirty people in the training room, like a class in the school, and Xia Zhi Xia Sha is not afraid, and follows the instructor and leaves, very impatient - you can say that what they pursue is very superficial, but they just like it, they just want to be on the stage since they were children, they want to be glamorous, and they have been wild idols for several years, suffering from no guidance, and not making much progress.

If they weren't too young, they probably wouldn't want to stay here and not go home.

There's no way around it, they have this kind of ideal, but their families can't teach them at all - Dongmei is occasionally gentle, but it's also the level of singing nursery rhymes, eating in the snow is a good hand, singing is not to talk, and Haruna is very quiet, not even talking much, let alone singing.

Their three sisters are more fierce than one another, and the main striker has all kinds of dog-headed military divisions, and the three of them can easily knock over seven or eight people when they pounce together, but in terms of literature and art, there is not much difference from a group of music idiots, and none of them are good at selling cuteness - they have been looking forward to a good teacher for a long time!

Natsuori Natsu blended in easily and without discomfort, while Fuyumi frowned and looked at it for a while, and asked Jun Okada, "With so many people, how many official members are expected to be in Meow Meow?"

"It also depends on the results of the training of these people, and it is expected that there will be 10 to 16 full members. ”

"Is it at least half of the way out?"

"That's probably the case, not every trainee can make his debut, but if it's not suitable for Afternoon Meow, it may be suitable for other groups, and these companies will consider it comprehensively. Jun Okada was quite polite to Fuyumi, and he didn't despise her because she was young, and he would answer all questions, "CBEE is still very strong, there are currently fifteen active idol groups, and it is planned to form one every year in the next three years, there are many opportunities, Miss Fukuzawa doesn't have to worry too much." ”

CBEE specializes in girl group idols.,The main thing is that the boy group can't do it in Tokyo.,I've tried a few times and I've been beaten up.,Now I've just given up.,Several boy group idols under his command are half-dead.,I can only do it in Aichi Prefecture.,It's not too famous.。

There is competition everywhere, and it's the same when you are an idol! Kitahara Shuji watched the indoor training from the window, and it was full of a group of children, all about 10 years old - I don't know if it was sent by my parents, or if I wanted to come here desperately like Natsuori Natsusa.

Probably the latter, right? They all look hardworking.

However, he looked at it for a while, and found that there were many little girls who were not good-looking, and Xia Zhi Xia Sha turned out to be a first-class face when she put it inside, so he couldn't help but ask very curiously: "What are the selection criteria for trainees?"

He doesn't know anything about this industry, so he feels that idols should at least be beautiful, right?

"I'll show you around CBEE!" Jun Okada smiled, stretched out his hand to invite, and his attitude towards Kitahara Shuji was also quite gentle, and said as he walked: "In the idol industry, appearance is not the first priority, and sometimes points will be deducted if you are too beautiful. Usually in the selection, the first thing is the plasticity of the role and the terrier, followed by self-discipline, and then the talent potential, and the appearance and figure are the last considerations...... Of course, you can't be so ugly that you can't see people. ”

Jun Okada took Kitahara Shuji and the others around this floor, and at the same time gave him a detailed explanation.

Idols have been around since the Showa era as early as the beginning, and they have been developing over the years, but no matter how pure and moving the previous idols are, they can only meet the tastes of some people, and in order to make more people like her, they can only be more cautious and make their image more positive, which has caused the Japanese idol industry to stagnate after a period of development.

And today, Japan's idol industry has not only begun to change in the direction of cultivation, but also to expand the number of groups and diversify the roles, so that idols can show their cute personalities at will, attracting fans who like this kind of cute personality, and at the same time, the company does not have to worry about this kind of character causing disgust from another part of the fans - we have prepared a lot, you don't like the cat and cat cute, do you like the goth Lori? What about the ordinary but hard-working little girl next door? We all have it, right next to this cat and cat cute.

This kind of cute conflict is also a highlight to attract fans, the snack goods are holding the tsundere queen and coquettish, do you want to see it?

"So that's the case!" Kitahara Shuji nodded again and again after hearing this, and sure enough, there was a line of doorways!

Jun Okada took them around and looked inside the company, the main purpose was to calm their hearts, prove that they are a regular company, a powerful company, just hand over the children to them to cultivate and rest assured, and ensure that they are not abused and bullied, so it's okay to try not to come to see the children twice in three days because of worry - he still has a hand in dealing with parents and knows what these people are thinking.

After a turn, he took Kitahara Shuji and the others back to the reception room, and concluded with a smile: "Now is the golden period for the development of idol careers, your decision is not wrong, please rest assured!"

Then he took out two more booklets and handed them to Kitahara Shuji and Fuyumi, and said with a smile: "We also have an exclusive agent business, if Kitahara-san and Fukuzawa Yukiri want to develop in the entertainment industry, you can come to me at any time to talk, and the door of CBEE will always be open for the two of you." ”

Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri have been very popular on the Internet recently, especially in the Nagoya area, and now whoever doesn't know them is outdated, and producers like Jun Okada, who make a living by making idols, naturally must understand, but they also understand that Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri have no intention of developing in the idol side.

Part of it was confirmed by talking to Natsuori Natsu online, and part of it was confirmed through the performance of Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri - the phone of these two people couldn't get through, and they obviously didn't want to contact.

He felt a pity, Kitahara Shuji and Xueli were in good condition, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, and they didn't go through the cultivation system, and they made their debut as idols directly, and they could have a powerful sports CP combination, but it was obviously unlikely. However, he didn't catch a big fish, and it was a bit of a harvest to catch the two small fish of Xia Ori and Xia Sha, and at the same time, he wanted to make a good fate - what if Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri changed their minds one day?

Young people, it's not strange to have one idea a day.

He briefly mentioned a few words about the exclusive agent, and sent them out of the door with a professional and polite attitude, and after Dongmei walked away, she looked back at the three-story building of CBEE and couldn't help but sigh.

The younger sisters are also older, have their own ideas, and don't listen to her much anymore, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

I don't know if it's right or wrong to agree to them, although what Kitahara Shuji said makes sense, there are so many people in the family, how can it be impossible to watch these two slippery heads degenerate to the point of accompanying wine girls in the future, it shouldn't be difficult to get them a serious job, but if they fail, they will feel very uncomfortable, right?

Ten years from now, will Xia Weaving Xia Sha be disappointed in themselves because she didn't stop them today?

In the future, when they go to society, they will feel inferior when they see that others are college graduates, but they only have a college level?

Will my mother think that she has not fulfilled her trust and taken care of everyone?

She was distracted there for a while, suffering from gains and losses, Kitahara Shuji gently touched her hair and comforted: "Sooner or later, there will be such a day, don't worry, let them go their way, we just need to back them up." ”

Always nest in the hole is not able to raise tigers, do not leave the nest eaglet will never spread its wings and fly high, as a family, at this time there is only one thing that can be done to support this.

Fuyumi was silent for a moment, looked up at him with a small face, and asked with a deep expectation, "Will they succeed?"

She believed in Kitahara Shuji and hoped that he would nod, but Kitahara Shuji sighed, a little afraid to look at Fuyumi's crescent moon eyes - he was actually more worried than Fuyumi in his heart, but he was more hypocritical and better disguised.

Probably this is how Chinese parents feel when they hear that their son is going to give up his studies for a while and devote himself to e-sports.

He hesitated for a while, but still chose to be honest, sighed and said, "I don't know. ”

The future is uncertain, which is why it is distracting.

Noki Suzuki frowned and looked at the hand that Kitahara Shuji put on the top of Fuyumi's head, unhappy - I'm not dead yet, you are openly abusing dogs again! It's really unlucky, I can't go back to lie down after school, and I have to be abused if I am caught, do you have a sense of morality for the male and female?

She said angrily beside her: "Okay, dwarf winter melon, Xia Weaving Xia Sha is a hundred times stronger than you, where do you have the courage to worry about them, worry about yourself first!"

In her opinion, Fuyumi is a coolie, and she will be a screw in the big machine of society in the future, or the kind that is inconspicuous and completely dispensable, if she hadn't met Kitahara Shuji, and I don't know what suited his appetite, in the future, Yukiri, Haruna, Natsuori and Natsusa would all be better than her - you still have the face to control your sisters, and none of your sisters have more potential than you, okay?

Without you, let your sisters develop freely, and they would have soared into the sky! You are a stumbling block to your whole family!

She belittled Dongmei, usually Dongmei squirted a stinky fart earlier, but these were not angry, but she was a little relieved in her heart - she hoped that her sisters would be stronger than her, and her main task in life was to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, and when these bastards were all promising, she could be completely at ease.

In case she doesn't learn well, she won't dare to close her eyes even if she dies, and she won't be willing to bury her face if she has to cover her face - she has no face to see her mother.

She didn't pay attention to Suzuki Noshi, but just asked Kitahara Shuji, "What did Mr. Okada mean when he said just now that it is the golden age of idol development?"

Suzuki Noki is even more popular, dwarf winter melon, you dare to ignore me? She replied directly without being angry, "Now that the economy is in recession, don't you understand the lipstick effect?

She really can't figure out what Kitahara Shuiji likes Fuyumi, obviously she's better!

Fuyumi glanced at Suzuki Noki and smiled, I don't know what it has to do with it, my boyfriend just knows, and Kitahara Shuji really explained it to her - of course he is towards his girlfriend, and he is not stupid.

The idol economy is the money that is made from economic recession, and since the economic bubble burst in 91, Japan's economy has been in continuous recession, and the natural prosperity has not risen.

Due to the continuous economic recession, people will inevitably continue to shrink their wealth, and they dare not invest or waste, but it does not mean that people have no desire to consume, and at this time, large items such as houses and cars are naturally not considered, and people will be more inclined to relatively cheap consumer goods, which is the lipstick effect.

And what kind of consumption is relatively cheap in Japan at the moment?

500 yen for a designated photo book, 750 yen for a handshake, 1000 yen to listen to an exclusive song, at most the money for a simple meal, this consumption is not stressful, and you can get spiritual satisfaction, very cost-effective.

Dongmei is even more relieved after hearing this, her sisters still have a lot of hope that they can live well in the future, maybe they can earn enough money for retirement at the age of twenty, which is not bad.

She suddenly hated that the Japanese economy was completely collapsed, and then quarreled with Suzuki Noki - Suzuki refused to walk and wanted to take a taxi, but Fuyumi refused and dragged her into the subway station.

Kitahara Shuji took one last look at CBEE's small building, and silently wished Natsuori Natsu that she could realize their life ideals - I hope they all the best!
