Chapter 220: The First Step into the World
Yui Aragaki, Masato Sakai, and Mitsuru Hoshino were able to become the focus of attention in the entertainment industry in a short period of time, and they have a very big relationship with Kagawa Yu, and it can even be said that they have a crucial relationship. Some people assert that the cooperation between Kagawa Yu and SMAP may make this super celestial group reach new heights in their careers, and Kagawa Yu will also use this momentum to establish his hegemony in the entertainment industry, which is enough to be the hegemon side by side with Genesys, Yoshimoto Kogyo and the fuel department!
Akihabara, when Akimoto Yasushi learned that Kagawa Yu would be in charge of SMAP's overseas brokerage business, this usually calm fat man was also stunned, but soon his emotions became extremely excited and excited, and he kept pacing in his office alone, as for what he was thinking, it is estimated that only he knows.
At the same time, the AKB members who were actively preparing for the guessing tournament in Akihabara basically got the news for the first time, and they already knew a lot about SMAP, or there was no one in the entire RB entertainment industry who didn't know about SMAP.
"Uncle, have you really become SMAP-san's agent?" Itano Tomomi stared blankly at Kagawa Yu and Kimura Takuya and others with a smile on their faces on the top of the newspaper.
"Yes, Kagawa-san is really amazing, is he still human?!" Yuko Oshima said in the period, but she was very proud in her heart, maybe only this man could sit on this impossible thing, isn't it?!
"Anyway, aren't we from the same office as Kimura-san? Really, this was unthinkable before. If we had said on the show that we and Kimura-san were from the same firm, we would have thought that people would have taken us for fools, but now, we can proudly tell others. Kimura-san is a senior in the same office as us! Mai Shiraishi said excitedly.
"That makes sense, wait, we can say that next time we have a chance to go to SMAPXSMAP!" Yuko Oshima was even more excited when she heard this, and she couldn't help herself.
Itano Tomomi just looked at these two guys so quietly and nerved.
"Tomochin, why do you look unhappy and still nervous here?" Mai Shiraishi asked.
"I'm worried about the guessing competition, you must know that in the first 19 selections, the old lady has not been absent once"
"I think NIVEA will definitely be eliminated in the first round this time, but in fact, I am very much looking forward to Maeda, Takahashi, Maimai, Mariko, Yona, and Mayoyu all going out in the first round, and then everyone will not be selected. You can imagine that all the graduate students who entered the selection process, and you can imagine how spectacular this scene would be at that time. Yuko Oshima smiled evilly.
Mai Shiraishi and Tomomi Itano looked at each other and smiled. It's a bad idea, but it's interesting, isn't it?
The Asahi Shimbun, Yahoo News, Mainichi Shimbun, and Google News all reported on the press conference in detail, not to mention other entertainment outlets, and it has long been said that this model of RB entertainment has become ossified. However, at that time, the Japanese drama and record market was in a golden age. It wasn't until the 21st century, with the declining market for Japanese dramas, movies, and records, that people realized that the time had come for the RB entertainment industry to change.
In the eighties and nineties of the last century, there were two entertainment centers in Asia, one was RB with records and Japanese dramas, and the other was the Hong Kong entertainment market, which was famous for its commercial films, but after entering the new century, these two Asian entertainment centers have declined. Hong Kong films are no longer as glorious as they once were, and the RB record market is squeezed by K-pop music to the point that there is almost no room for survival. If it weren't for the emergence of AKB48 and Mitsuru Hoshino, maybe it would still be Korean singers who are ravaging the RB pop scene.
Not to mention Japanese dramas and movies, in recent years, only "The Undertaker" can be used as a fig leaf. Genesys chose to cooperate with Kagawa Yu at this time and chose to let SMAP go out, which has to be said to be a very risky and courageous move, but once it succeeds, then Genesys will become the most influential firm in the entire RB entertainment industry, no one!
After signing the contract with SMAP, Kagawa immediately instructed the company's staff to go to China to contact the organizer there to discuss the holding of the concert, and unexpectedly, the first concert will be held in the imperial capital, the location is the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the time will be held in late November. It's September now, and there's not much time left for him, and he has to get everything done within these two months, at least SMAP's overseas debut must not be messed up! Otherwise, his signboard will be smashed!
While preparing for SMAP concerts, he personally formulated the overseas development plan of the five SMAP people and the overseas development plan of AKB48.
The characteristics of the five people in SMAP are different, and their respective development fields are also different, so different plans must be formulated for the five of them, such as Zhongju Zhengguang, Zhongju Zhengguang and the other four people have less acting, and there are not more variety shows, and among the five people, his variety show sense is the best. In fact, among the five people of SMAP, except for Inagaki Goro's sense of variety show is slightly inferior, the other four people have a very good sense of variety show, at least in Kagawa Yu's opinion, few of Denis's juniors can have artists whose comprehensive ability is very good.
In response to the development direction of Zhongju Zhengguang, Kagawa Yu is more inclined to variety shows in the Taiwan and Chinese mainland markets, Taiwan is a little better, after all, it is deeply influenced by RB entertainment culture, SMAP's mass base here is much thicker than the mainland, and the mainland is much more difficult, first of all, the language problem of Zhongju Zhengguang, of course, if Zhongju Zhengguang wants to make up his mind to learn, then it will definitely not be a big problem!
The most difficult thing is that because of the historical reasons of the two countries and some legacy problems, Chinese mainland is extremely xenophobic to RB artists, and the relevant departments of Chinese mainland must have concerns in these aspects, so it is very difficult for Zhongju Zhengguang to open up a world in Chinese mainland, but it is not impossible.
