Chapter 232: The Current Situation of the Mainland Entertainment Industry
Several other girls watched Kojima Yona at the same time.
"It should have been when Renmei and the others graduated, I was very confused at that time, I didn't know what I was insisting on, I was just an ordinary girl, why did I have to insist so stubbornly. Later, Kagawa-san told me. There is always something in this life that people have to stick to, so I threw away all those things in my mind and persevered until now. Kojima Yona's face showed a rare hint of melancholy.
"I almost chose to graduate from AKB last year, but fortunately I went to Kagawa-san to apply, but Kagawa-san scolded me severely, and then I never dared to mention the idea of graduation, and then I felt that was the most fortunate and proud thing for me." Mai Oshima said with a smile.
"When my uncle chatted with me last year, he told me why he chose to sign the contract in the first place. Do you want to know? Itano said nonchalantly.
"If you want to know, let's talk about it quickly."
"Say it quickly!"
Atsuko Maeda and Yona Kojima urged impatiently.
"Uncle said, Maeda's personality belongs to the kind of quieter, small-minded, but very self-controlled, at that time he wanted to sign a contract with Maeda, but considering that Maeda is Ota's person, plus Akimoto will not backhand. That's why he didn't sign a contract," Tomomi Itano said.
Atsuko Maeda went after listening and nodded, "Kagawa-san still understands me." ”
"What else?" Yona Kojima asked impatiently. Itano Yumi got a strange look at her.
"It may hit you when I say it, but in fact, there were four candidates in my uncle's mind. I, A-chan, Hoshino-san, and Kazuko, but in the end, I and Hoshino-sama were signed! Itano said proudly.
"I can't figure it out, how could Kagawa-san value you in the first place. Obviously, when you started out, you weren't as fashionable as you are now. "Kojima Yona was angry.
"Uncle said, at that time he valued me at a glance, because my personality is very similar to him, I am the kind of person who is used to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and is not bound by the world, so in the end he was the first to sign a contract with me. I was ashamed to hear that. Itano Tomomi looked shy.
"Cut!" Several girls gave her a middle finger in unison
Tickets for SMAP's first concert overseas are now on sale, with the concert at the Bird's Nest on November 28 and the Workers Stadium on December 3!
The five uncles of SMAP left for China as early as November 20. They were accompanied by Kagawa Yu. With Kagawa Yu by their side, at least they don't need to bring more translators. Although their trip to China this time was very secretive, several people were also unusually low-key. But when they just arrived at the Capital International Airport. was blocked by media reporters and fans from all over the world, and finally with great effort, several people escaped from the airport.
For the imperial capital, Takuya Kimura, Shingo Katori, and Tsuyoshi Kusa are no strangers. Because they've been here before when they're recording SMAPXSMAP. However, that was before the Olympic Games, and the current imperial capital is very different from the imperial capital at that time.
"I didn't expect our first overseas concert to be held in the imperial capital, and it's really a pity that I didn't come to see the Olympics back then." The grass shears are full of rigidity.
"I didn't expect Xiaogang to become melancholy now, is it difficult for you to take the temperament route?" Nakai asked.
"Well, I've finally found a route that works for me." Grass Shears just laughed.
"It's a pity that you could have become a very good comedian, but now it's really a pity." Takuya Kimura looked regretful and sympathetic.
As soon as the grass shears touched their noses and stopped talking, the others laughed when they saw this.
While several uncles at SMAP are joking with each other, Kagawa Yu is constantly researching the cultural characteristics and market of the Chinese entertainment industry, judging from his short survey these days and the feedback from the audience. Chinese TV dramas, especially dramas, are the best. It is no exaggeration to say that even if these dramas filmed in Chinese mainland are put into the whole of Asia, they are second to none. Even the Taiga dramas filmed by NHK are not as good as most of them. Take "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" filmed in the 90s as an example, it is still the best of the best!
The genre of Chinese TV dramas is also relatively diverse, and it can be said that there is still great potential for development. In terms of movies, the films produced in Chinese mainland have also been developing over the years, to some extent, the development potential of films in China is far more than RB and the whole of Southeast Asia, to put it mildly, now commercial films are basically dead in RB, almost all of the top ten movies in the box office list in the past three years are the theatrical version or live-action version of popular anime, and there is almost no room for survival, which is also one of the important reasons for RB movies to continue to regress, RB animation is too strong, So strong that there is no room for other types of movies!
Chinese mainland is different, the vast territory and ethnic diversity allow many types of films to open up their own markets here, and many Hong Kong directors go north to participate in the production of mainland films, and the market is also a very important part.
In terms of music, Chinese mainland, like RB, or the entire world's music market, has entered an era of decline after experiencing the glory of the nineties, and now the most active in the mainland music scene are still some talent singers. Of course, there are not no outstanding musicians in the Chinese music scene now, Jay Chou is one of the leaders, or he is the only pop music king in the Chinese music scene after the new century, Jay Chou is definitely one of the best in the Chinese music scene in terms of creative ability, and he is the leader of the Chinese style to change the popular trend of the Chinese music scene. In this regard, it seems that the RB music scene has not yet given birth to such a male singer in the new century, of course, such as SMAP and Masaharu Fukuyama, they basically do not belong to the same generation.
It is precisely because of the existence of Jay Chou that there will be no successors in the Chinese music scene, although many draft singers are very active, but they are not recognized by the mainstream, not to mention that few of these draft singers are indeed the kind of excellent seedlings, at most they can only be regarded as meteors.
