Chapter 846 Handshake Meeting
After the performance, the venue was lit up, and the host walked up to the stage, holding the microphone and saying, "All the fans who have come to support their idols in their busy schedules, everyone has worked hard!" Well, old-school bow style.
The Wa Kingdom is the most bowing nation in the world, and you will have someone bow to you every day in the Wa Kingdom, and sometimes it will be solemn and overwhelming. This kind of ritual, which originated in the Shang Dynasty of China, did not carry forward in China, but became a ritual that everyone must master in the Wa Kingdom.
And bowing is also different in the Wa country, different ages have different bowing angles, the old-school bow is directly 90 degrees to bow the head, but also to maintain a period of time, and the current Wa people like to bow 80 degrees, and the current young people bow is to pout their buttocks back, about 30 degrees.
In the country of Wakoku, you have people bowing to you anytime and anywhere, going to convenience stores, someone bowing, going to the mall, someone bowingγγγγγγ In the simplest terms, where there are people, there are people who bow.
Every foreigner who goes to the country is very uncomfortable, and you say that someone bows to you like this, do you bow to him in return? or not?
Therefore, after living in the Wa Kingdom for a period of time, one person is counted as one, and in the end, they will bow to everyone like the Wa people, which is a helpless thing, and the general environment is like this. People will slowly be changed by the environment. It's like a foreigner who will use chopsticks when he lives in China for a period of time.
After bowing, the host continued, "Fans, thank you for your support to our 'Okunomiya' and your idols for a week, today is our weekend, and it is also the long-awaited part of our weekly handshake to thank all fans. β
"As you can see, we have prepared a variety of souvenirs for you today, fans, show your love to thank your idol for his hard work today!"
Xiao Peng asked Huang He: "What does he mean? I understand every word, but I don't understand how it is connected together? What does it mean to 'show your love to thank the idol for his hard work?'"
Huang He smiled: "Just let us dig out our wallets, in fact, it's the first time I've come to such a fan handshake." Let's see what's going on. β
Xiao Peng nodded, turned his head and was startled: "Damn, why did someone move the bed out?"
Huang He shook his head: "I don't understand this, let's take a look!" But this kind of fan handshake will be in the country is the most normal thing, singers also have handshake meetings, even love action movie actors have this kind of meeting, lucky fans can snap and bang." β
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "I'll go, and there is this kind of divine operation?"
Huang He nodded: "Of course, if a singer wants to sell records, he must first hold a handshake party, take the two most popular girl groups in the country now, one is AKB48, the other is Nogizaka 46, the former has sold millions of records, and the latter's latest single CD has sold 670,000 copies, how did they sell it? In comparison, Nogizaka 46 is even more fierce, and it is actually held by 44 people, while AKB48's million sales are held by more than 300 people in each sister group. Otherwise, who's going to buy a single CD?"
"670,000 sheetsγγγγγγ This hand is swollen, isn't it?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened.
"Of course, not only CDs are sold, but also all kinds of peripherals, such as autographed photos, keyrings of cups printed with photos, photo albums, and so on. Otherwise, where would they get their income?" replied Huang He.
Xiao Peng pouted: "Then it's not interesting, let's go?"
"No, my friend said that this kind of handshake of underground idols is the most fun, anyway, idle and idle, let's see. Huang He said hurriedly.
Xiao Peng was happy: "Lao Huang, I didn't expect you to be such a boring person, it looks really different from your usual appearance." β
Huang He shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is what you said, you have to relax and relax when you come out, besides, since you come to play, don't you see how boring it is in the end?"
Before Xiao Peng finished speaking, he saw that from behind the stage, the members of the girl group who had performed today ran out, and cheers rang out from the scene.
Several girl group members ran behind their respective tables and began to interact with fans, idols here have absolutely no idol baggage, fans go up to shake hands with idols, say some words of encouragement to each other, just like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and then sell their own peripheral products in various ways. At this time, these idols are like salesmen, all kinds of coquettish and cute things. Tsk, it's not easy.
In the final analysis, the average monthly salary of Japanese wage earners is about 300,000 yen, but the average income of underground idol girl groups is less than 100,000 yen.
There is a Polaroid camera on each table, and fans can choose to take a photo with their idol and sign it for 2,000 yen each. That is, more than 100 yuan. At this time, you can see the importance of the number of fans. There are many fans, and there are naturally more people who buy merchandise. But with such a small number of fans, how many things can you buy?
But these underground idols really fought hard in order to make more money! Xiao Peng finally knew what the bed he had just moved out was for------- it was a prop for the 'uniform elves' to interact with fans! They took a photo with the fans lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, only revealing their heads, and the girls would bite a condom on their mouths, looking like the two had just finished making love. To take such a picture, you need to buy two CDs of them, which is 6,000 yen. There are still a lot of people queuing up in the back.
'Gothic Death' is even cooler, it is worthy of a group that walks the queen style, their fans take pictures of all kinds of abuse, what makes their idols step on their faces, what is filmed with a small leather whip, tsk, five thousand shots.
'Pink Girl' is an innocent model, and taking pictures is what 'wall knock', 'kissing through fingers' and the like. There are 1,000 ordinary photos, and 5,000 for such a POSE.
And the 'kimono girl' is bold and wild, some directly lift their tops, cover their breasts and take pictures with fans for 2,000 yen each. They also sell their so-called 'kneading coupons' to fans, which are also 2,000 yen each, with this 'kneading coupon', you can participate in the lottery, and then let fans draw two prizes: once the name of the member, once the body part, which part of the member is drawn, and the fan can rub her there, which is a money-making stunt!
For example, if a fan likes Girl B in the group, it turns out that the lottery draws out Girl A, and it is clear that what he wants to touch is his breasts, but he pulls out a forearm, so what should I do?
Of course, there are some risks involved. After all, there is no security here, and it is not unusual for those well-dressed little girls to be attacked by 'overzealous' male fans.
Xiao Peng saw a guy who couldn't get the part of the idol he wanted after rubbing the coupon more than a dozen times, and rushed over to hug his idol and kissed and touched it, and finally it was other fans who persuaded him to persuade the male fan to leave, and the girl was so scared that she was about to cry, and she kept bowing to everyone with a smile, saying that she scared everyone and caused trouble for everyone.
In some ways, the country is a bit pathological.
Xiao Peng was very puzzled by this, and asked Huang He: "Isn't this country very fierce in society B? Why doesn't anyone care about that kid?
Huang He shook his head: "It's not that I can't manage it, but I don't dare to manage it, these otaku are not very normal." When a female idol named Mayu Tomita appeared at a performance event for a thousand years, she was seriously injured by a male fan at the scene, and she was stabbed more than 20 times in the body, and she almost lost her life. And what kind of obscene underground idols, that's a lot of happening here!"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "Damn, these girls are really funny, just fight so hard to be famous?"
Huang He said with a smile: "Now people don't say all day long that they have to work hard, don't leave regrets for their future? But to be honest, there are really too few people who can succeed, and not everyone can afford to live like this. Is it worth spending the most precious time of your life on such things? Besides, even if you succeed, it doesn't mean that everything is worry-free, and there was an underground idol group back then, what was it called? Oh, by the way, it's called Kamen Girl, and she wears a mask every time she performs!"
"OH, IT'S A LOT LIKE HOLLYOOD UNDERD. Xiao Peng replied.
HOLLYOOD UNDEAD IS ONE OF XIAO PENG'S FAVORITE BANDS, A BAND THAT CAME OUT OF THE SLUMS, AND THE MEMBERS WERE RELUCTANT TO REVEAL THEIR IDENTITIES AT FIRST, BUT THEY WORE MASKS TO PUBLISH THEIR OWN SONGS ONLINE, WHICH CAUSED A SENSATION, AND SINCE THEN THEY HAVE ALSO SIGNED WITH BIG COMPANIES AND REACHED THE PEAK OF THEIR LIVES, AND SINCE THEN, WEARING MASKS HAS BECOME THEIR SYMBOL. (Highly recommended, it blends metal with punk and rap for a fresh twist.) οΌ
Huang He nodded and continued: "The 'Kamen Girl' girl group is actually the merger of the three girl groups of 'Alice Ten' and 'Armor Girl' and 'Punk Girl', and they also learned AKB48 and other crowd tactics, and the result was really popular, creating a record of accepting an underground idol group to win the championship of the Japanese National Public Trust List, which is considered famous, but the media broke out that the group members took turns to accompany - sleep, aid - sex and other scandals, now this situation, I am afraid it will not be long before the fierce son will be happy." There's a new one to watchγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng pouted, if you really want to be famous like this, the price you pay is too great, right?
Having said that, the most pitiful thing at this so-called thank-you meeting should be the 'metal bee', right? Several girl groups have fans to cheer them on, and they don't have any fans at all, right? Just a dozen people lingering in front of their boothsγγγγγγγ
When Xiao Peng just wanted to beckon everyone to go out, something that made Xiao Peng's eyes appear in front of him!
Damn, hallucination, it's Yang Meng who is talking and laughing with the girls of 'Metal Bee'?
