202 Lurking Idol House
Originally, everyone thought that the project launched by Ozawa Harada was also related to mascots - after all, this is the social atmosphere of Toei, if you hold an event and launch a product, you are embarrassed to say hello to others if you don't get a mascot to help promote it.
However, this time, what Ozawa Harada showed was not a mascot created based on animals and plants!
On the screen, ten girls wearing different club jerseys are beautiful and cute, full of youthful vitality, and through Qin Han's wonderful painting skills, the character characteristics of each girl are very distinctly displayed, and they will never give people a sense of a thousand people.
Nowadays, although many people in the comic industry have begun to try to imitate the painting style of the Qin and Han dynasties, for ordinary people, what they are exposed to on weekdays is still the painting techniques and art styles that are decades behind. So when they saw the ten images on the screen, which were designed by Qin Han with a lot of effort, they all had a feeling of being impacted.
Even the three older executive directors sat up straight and were in good spirits.
"Ozawa-kun, let's tell us about the project you recommend. Matsuzaki Ieyasu said.
"Okay, Director Matsuzaki. ”
Ozawa Harada said, "Hello everyone, the three executive directors. Now, I would like to introduce the project produced by the famous cartoonist Qin Han for the multimedia promotion of the J-League era, called 'Club Idol Anthropomorphism'!"
On the screen, a few words JPF48 appeared.
"As we all know, the main target of our project is young people. Cute mascots, loved by the elderly and children, suitable for all-age promotion programs. For young people, we need more impactful projects. ”
"Animation, manga, idols, these pop cultures, are the favorites of young people. So Mr. Qin Han took this as a starting point and created this virtual idol group formed by the club girl. Every girl is not only the anthropomorphic embodiment of the club, but also integrates the local characteristics of the city where the club is located, which can easily make the local people empathize and want to cheer for them and grow together. By getting to know these virtual characters, you can start to learn about the sport of football. I believe that JPF48 will be a big hit among young people, especially young men!"
"Club Girl...... Anthropomorphize and recreate the image of the club and turn it into a cute girl...... It's a very new idea. Executive Director Toshiie Ueda said.
"However, isn't this project too biased in the direction of subculture? Most of the people who like these anime beautiful girls are otaku. Can it really attract people who don't even leave their homes to come to the stadium to watch the game?" executive director Semasa Hojo also raised his own questions.
"Director Hojo, in this era, animation and manga are no longer a niche culture. Those who are out of touch with society and completely immersed in the depth of the two-dimensional world are not to mention. For an ordinary young man, even if he is not an otaku, he must have been exposed to this aspect of the content. What's more, it is human nature to love beautiful things. Just ask, who would hate these lovely girls?" Ozawa Harada's words were full of momentum, so that some people who had the heart to refute silently dispelled their thoughts.
Ozawa Harada added, "Moreover, if the budget is sufficient, this project can also invite popular idol groups to cooperate to further expand the audience and increase the promotion efforts!"
His words made Matsuzaki Ieyasu's eyes light up.
Although the executive director is over 60 years old, he has an unknown hobby - he is an idol house.
In the past, when he was young, Matsuzaki Ieyasu was obsessed with Koizumi Kyoko, and now there is a room in the house to store all kinds of Matsuda Seiko's peripherals.
Later, as he grew older, he experienced marriage and childbirth, and his idol mania gradually subsided, and he only occasionally looked at the photo album of the goddess back then, remembering his passionate youth.
But recently, Matsuzaki Ieyasu doesn't know whether he wants to regain his second youth or for other reasons, and he has begun to fall in love with an idol group - Nogizaka 46.
His first recommendation is called Reika Sakurai, a gentle girl, just like her first love. Matsuzaki Ieyasu even quietly pre-ordered the idol group's first single CD early.
After hearing Ozawa Harada's proposal to collaborate with a popular idol group, Matsuzaki Ieyasu was intrigued.
Ozawa Harada finished introducing the project and returned to his seat.
Matsuzaki Ieyasu said, "I will carefully discuss with Director Hojo and Director Ueda to decide which project to adopt. Everyone has worked hard today. ”
"Good work!"
After sending off the three executive directors, Hiroshi Ogura patted Ozawa Harada's shoulder with a smile: "Ozawa-san, you are in the limelight at this meeting. ”
Ozawa Harada smiled slightly and did not answer.
Hiroshi Ogura was very unhappy with the other party's appearance of victory, and said with a hypocritical smile: "However, your plan is still too radical, and the three executive directors are relatively conservative in their concepts, so I'm afraid it's not very easy to accept." Of course, my previous promise is still valid. In the future, if I am promoted to chairman, I will definitely promote you. ”
Hiroshi Ogura's self-confidence is not unreasonable.
Of the three executive directors who decided on the ownership of the project, Hojo Semasa received the benefits and would definitely stand by his side. Although Ueda Toshiya seems to be very optimistic about the so-called club idol anthropomorphic plan, Matsuzaki Ieyasu has a great possibility and stands on his side.
Because this executive director is the eldest of the three, his usual style of work is to seek stability, and he will definitely not agree to Ozawa Harada's business plan.
After the meeting, Hiroshi Ogura, who thought he had a chance to win, was in a good mood all day. He fantasized about being promoted to become the youngest chairman of the Football Association, and then eating Ozawa Harada, a sworn enemy, to death.
"Hmph, I can see Ozawa's angry face every day in the future, it must be very interesting......"
In this way, when it was time to get off work, Hiroshi Ogura got a result that was very different from his expectations: after discussion, the three executive directors decided to adopt a project made by the famous cartoonist Qin Han and proposed by Ozawa Harada!
"How can this be?" Hiroshi Ogura's dream shattered, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning.
At this time, his cell phone rang.
Hiroshi Ogura picked up his phone numbly: "Hey, who is it?"
"Ogura-san, I'm Imamura. Today is the day of the Review Conference, and I would like to ask, what was the outcome?"
"I'm sorry, Imamura-san, your project was unsuccessful. After Hiroshi Ogura finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a constipated face.
