1071, the so-called idol
Surprisingly, the first person who responded to Koizumi Huayang was actually the male teacher who didn't seem to be in the same 'generation' as the girls of them.
"It's a girl idol group that has suddenly soared in popularity in the past two years, and it's said that it's already very famous, right? Their members are all students who are still in school, and they are working hard to keep working as idols while juggling their studies. Even industry insiders have a very high opinion of them. ”
Levi said in such detail that at the same time that several girls were surprised, Koizumi Huayang's eyes lit up, although he still didn't dare to speak, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he had found a confidant.
"Teacher, is it ...... You actually like idols?"
Hiiragi Asuka was a little incredulous. If it weren't for the fact that there was a girl like idols like Koizumi Hanayo, in the presence, maybe something would have accidentally come out that might not be so pleasant to listen to.
But who made the attribute of 'idol house' really contrast with the teacher sitting next to him? This male teacher looks much younger than he said, and he has to admit that his appearance is also quite handsome and chic, and he belongs to the typical image of a 'mature uncle' that will make female students feel excited.
Although a person's inner and outer appearance may not necessarily have any connection. Judging people by their appearance is also quite wrong. However, even Hiiragi Asuka knows a little bit of information, and she still thinks that even if this McDowell teacher is not a standard social person with a colorful life, he doesn't look like an idol house with a glow stick hanging around his body and sweating profusely in the concert venue to support the girls on stage.
There are such people in Hiiragi's class, and she has naturally seen their fanaticism. The teacher next to me doesn't look like he can transform to that extent, right?
"Idols...... Actually, I didn't pay much attention to that. However, because I happen to have a friend who is considered an industry insider, I will occasionally hear her talk about some topics in this area when we chat. ”
Levi's answer is the truth that Hiiragi Asuka thinks it should be. Although he is usually a serious teacher, the story of changing clothes and sweating at the concert after school sounds quite interesting. But in reality, this kind of thing happens to people I know, which still feels a little too ridiculous. In particular, Hiiragi Asuka has just roughly talked to this teacher about future cooperation. Even if the girl understands that there is no shortage of talented people with strange personalities and behaviors, she herself is a more stable and rigorous person, and of course she still hopes that her partner can be more reliable. She, Hiiragi, is not a person who likes to dramatize her life like in the story. This is probably the biggest difference between her and those girls of her age who are looking forward to romance.
"I see, Koizumi...... Belch...... Koizumi-san?"
Hiiragi Asuka called Koizumi Hanyo twice, and she found that this girl, who was about a year younger than herself, was staring at Levi with a somewhat 'fanatical' gaze?
"Ahh
Koizumi Hanayo was originally holding his chin with his arm, but when Hiiragi Asuka shouted, his arm slipped and almost slammed his chin on the table. Thanks to her childhood sweetheart, Starry Sky Rin is an athletic girl like her appearance.,The reflex nerve is quite good.,Hold her at an important moment.。 Otherwise, if the girl's soft chin is knocked like this, if it is serious, she may have to go to the hospital for stitches.
"Hua Yang Qin must like that idol group called SPiKA, right? Hearing her say this, I also remembered that Hua Yang Qin once showed me their concert DVD. ”
This time, it was the turn of Starry Rin to act as the 'commentator' of Koizumi Hanayo. They all thought that Koizumi Huayang liked that idol group too much, so she was so excited and abnormal. In fact, Koizumi Hanayang is indeed very obsessed with those radiant idols on the stage, but more importantly, because of Levy's 'industry insiders' just now, she can't help but think about it.
The industry insiders that Levy is talking about are naturally Yuna, who has become the world's top idol for special reasons. Although the profession of female idol, it is said that she is at the bottom of the pyramid in the entertainment industry, with a low status and poor treatment and income. But when a female idol reaches the level of Yuna, the meaning of the word 'idol' in her title is not the same as what everyone usually calls idols.
For example, the three girls of Otonokijihan Gakuin and the female idols of SPiKA worshiped by Koizumi Hanayo, the "idol" they call mainly refers to the profession they are engaged in, and the position in the entertainment industry belongs to the "idol", rather than the original meaning of the word "to be worshipped, a symbol of worship in the heart" that is queried in the dictionary.
Yuna once sighed self-deprecatingly. The so-called idols in the entertainment industry refer to those young people who have no special talents, average singing, mediocre dancing, poor acting skills, and even not particularly outstanding appearance, and strive to attract fans by relying on their own image and 'setting' of their own charm and 'added value'.
Just like in other industries, in addition to those with capital backgrounds, those who stand at the top are basically elites with real materials and talents. In addition to those behind-the-scenes capitalists who hold capital and resources, the highest status in the entertainment industry is producers with creative ability and talents with excellent performance ability.
Singers who are simply good at singing are not as good as singer-songwriters who are also good at creative ability, because they must be constrained by the quality of their work that they cannot fully control. If you can't write excellent songs by yourself, you can only rely on buying other people's works, and your initiative will naturally be lower. And idols who have no creative talent, and can't even say that they can't even sing skills, their status is naturally lower, because their fame, in addition to their own efforts, can be said to rely more on the credit of those behind the scenes who manipulate capital and resources.
As long as there is enough exposure, it is a little exaggerated to say that a well-known large entertainment company will be popular with anyone. But in the case of everyone's own conditions, it is indeed a person with extra talents who can slightly get rid of the hands of those who control public opinion.
And a top talent like Yuna, who is quite outstanding in all aspects of his own conditions, and it is difficult to find a replacement for all his talents, has almost reached the standard of the true meaning of the word idol, but has become a cash cow for those who control the capital to compete with each other.
