Chapter 62: The Salted Fish Turns Over

"Mariko, is your "Land of the Wind" finished?" Tan Mi suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the situation in front of her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It was finished half a month ago. Mariko Shinoda replied lazily.

"Oh, what is your main story in this play?" Tan Mi asked.

"It's just an ordinary love story, similar to Cinderella's. ”

"Oh, so do you think such a love story could happen in reality?"

"Of course it can't happen, in the real world, the person who marries the prince must be a princess, and Cinderella will never have a chance in her life. ”

"Since you understand all these truths, then why are you still so depressed?" Tan Mi suddenly asked.

Caught off guard, Mariko Shinoda paused slightly, and then retorted: "Who said I'm depressed, and what does this have to do with me not understanding these truths?"

Tan Mi walked to her side, hugged her in her arms and comforted: "Okay, my silly sister, in fact, I have wanted to tell you these words for a long time, but I don't want to destroy the last bit of beautiful fantasy in your heart, and now that the bubble of this fantasy has burst by itself, you just accept the reality." As you said before, a prince can only marry a princess, and Cinderella like us has no chance at all. ”

"But、But Miss Han, she doesn't like men at all. Mariko Shinoda still defended without giving up.

Tan Mi snorted coldly and said: "But this is important, hey, in fact, this is because you know too few rich people, and you will know that there are more ridiculous things in the wealthy family in the future." Also, I think the boss is doing you too well. ”

"What? You said the boss was too good to me? What does that mean?" asked Mariko Shinoda confused.

"It's because the boss is so good to you that you have these thoughts that shouldn't be generated, you haven't worked in another firm, if you knew how those bosses treat their artists, you wouldn't think so. ”

"It's like you've worked at another firm. Mariko Shinoda muttered in a low voice.

"That's right, I haven't worked in another studio, but I know artists who have worked in other studios, and when I was at the Ginza Club in the past, many of them went to artist training classes or worked as trainees, so naturally I know a lot of things you don't know, so let's put it this way, it's our blessing to meet a boss like President Fujishima, just cherish it and work hard, don't think about it all day. ”

"I know, big sister Saito, hmph, it's like I'm the one who left the office. ”

"If you do leave the office, then I won't say that. Look at it, sister, I'll leave this sentence here, that Taiwanese girl named Chen Yuxi will definitely regret it one day. ”

After Tanmi's persuasion, Mariko Shinoda was in a much better mood, and then caught up with the promotion and release of the album "Ten Years of Sakura", and she didn't have the heart to think about these under the busy situation of work.

Time always flies quickly when it's busy, and soon the graduation season is coming, and at this Tokyo graduation season, many students were surprised to find that at the graduation ceremony, there was a group AKB48 that they were not unfamiliar with, although only some members of the group came, but it also made the unprepared students happy.

What makes them even happier is that AKB actually produced a single called "Ten Years Sakura" for their graduation season, which tells the hearts of their graduating students, and the song is very good, and the lyrics are very touching.

"See you again in 10 years! I'll be waiting for you at the old place.

At that time, we will all be more brilliant.

Graduation is an inevitable experience, and it is also a vow to reload.

I would rather appreciate you forever like this than a hot love like dry wood.

?

Let's meet again in 10 years!

Come back no matter what happens.

Graduation is a new starting point, and the long journey is far away.

Today's sorrow will be gone, and I will always wave to you.

?

Even if the flowers bloom and fall a few times, they can't make me forget today......"

It may really be Takeshi Fujishima's novel publicity strategy that has had an effect, or it may be AKB's accumulation, in short, this "Ten Years Sakura" has made AKB fight a beautiful turnaround, with an excellent result of selling 48,000 copies in five days, and it has reached the third place in the sales list in one fell swoop, and the final sales are close to 100,000 copies. This number is almost the same as the previous four albums combined.

The successful comeback of AKB48 caused quite a stir at the time. Both industry insiders and fans who have cared for them all year round are looking for the secret of AKB48's resurrection.

For die-hard fans who have watched them grow day by day in the small theater, they will not regard the hot sale of "Ten Years of Sakura" as a "salted fish turnover" at all. In their opinion, this sales volume is the result of the girls' efforts all the time, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they never stop, and they exchange their sweat and tears for social recognition. If you have to find a reason, then the reason for AKB48's popularity is "accumulation".

In the analysis of cultural industry economic magazines, there are two main reasons why AKB48 bottomed out. The first reason is that due to the smooth development of the members' individual activities, AKB48 has not only succeeded in erasing the impression of "underground idols" that it once left on people, but also re-emitted itself as an all-round artist group.

Among the members who often appeared in the media at the time, Mai Oshima and Yona Kojima belonged to the traditional idols with good faces and few words, and Reina Ono and Mayu Watanabe were younger sisters who fit the style of Akihabara, and these are the characters that a beautiful girl group should have.

But at the same time, they also have magazine models like Mariko Shinoda, Shibuya sisters like Tomomi Itano and Tomomi Kawanishi, and unconventional core characters like Yuko Oshima and Atsuko Maeda. - As the aces of the song and dance group, both of them declare that their dreams are "actors".

When these images with very different styles appear on different occasions with the name "AKB48", it is easy to arouse people's strong interest in this group. In this case, the fact that no record has been released for more than 200 days has turned into a propaganda method to whet people's appetite.
