Chapter 40: Preparing for a New Work

Hideki Hanyu successfully completed the recording, which took only one day, which was equivalent to helping Shinsuke Ito increase the filming time.

He had already had a lot of discussions with Shinsuke Ito about the details of the shooting, and Shinsuke Ito also made a detailed shooting script and plan for the shooting.

Therefore, he only followed the group for half a day at the beginning, and after teaching Seiko Matsuda to dance the mille-feuille stacked hand dance, he saw that the shooting met the requirements in his heart, so he became a hand-shaker producer.

Morinaga Dairy's ice cream advertisement is progressing well, and on the other hand, Suntory's national audition for the advertising lead actor has officially begun.

Founded in 1921, Suntory is a long-established neon manufacturer and distributor of alcoholic soft drinks.

Since last year, Suntory has decided to get involved in the soft drink industry, but unfortunately after the launch of several products, the sales have not been satisfactory.

The collaboration with Dentsu, coupled with the highly acclaimed advertising shoot, made Suntory attach great importance to this advertising campaign.

So when they decided to carry out Hideki Hanyu's suggestion, just one day later, the media about the selection of the main actor for the advertisement appeared all over the neon.

Although the selection proposal was made by Hideki Hanyu, the selection rules were formulated after consultation between Dentsu and Asako Hirohashi.

Considering the relatively short selection time, the rules are very simple.

As long as it is no more than 16 years old, no less than 1.5 meters tall, and an amateur girl with good facial features can sign up, and only need to submit basic information and full-body photos within a week.

According to the filming needs, 50 candidates will be selected and invited to Tokyo to participate in the audition, and the three leading actors will be selected directly in the audition, and the winners will be paid one million yen.

Relying on Suntory's propaganda at any cost, coupled with the temptation of millions of yen, the cloud screening film can receive a large number of letters every day in the past few days, and the initial screening project is huge.

Originally, Hanyu Hideki was busy with music recording, thinking that he could be lazy to accompany his girlfriend, but he was directly caught by Asako Hirohashi.

"Asazi-san, I said that you don't need to trouble me for such a simple matter."

Hanyu Hideki kept opening the envelope in his hand, found that it did not meet the requirements, and then threw it away, repeating and repeating, with a bored face.

It's just shooting commercials, and it's not about entering the entertainment industry as an artist, so there are many girls who want to try it.

In addition, in the selection rules, they can only require good looks, and if they can't openly say that they are ugly, don't come, which leads to too many girls who don't meet the requirements to submit information.

"We're all the same employees, all of them have been taken by Ito-san to shoot commercials, Yoshioka-san has to cooperate with Dentsu's work, is it possible that Hanyu-san keeps me busy alone?"

On the other side, Asako Hirohashi was also repeating the action of opening the letter, and her tone was helpless.

"There are still too few people, so let's stop hiring some employees."

"We still have too little business to recruit employees from the society, and I want to wait for the graduation season to recruit graduates." Asako Hirohashi said her intentions.

"Asako-san is really careful about planning, but when it's time to recruit people, it's really too late to recruit when there is more business." Hideki Hanyu suggests.

"I'll think about it." Hirohashi Asako Road.

"I'm going to move in a few days, I'm going to have a housewarming party, and I'll only invite close friends, and then Asako-san will come to play with Saori-chan."

It's really boring to talk about work, so Hideki Hanyu talks about moving.

If it weren't for the fact that I've been too busy these days, I should have moved in a long time ago.

"No problem."

……

The two chatted and made selections at the same time.

Because there are so many people, they don't even have time to look at the information of the sender, and they decide whether to eliminate it based on the appearance conditions on the photo.

The two were busy until the afternoon, and Shota Yoshioka happened to come back, and the three of them opened the letter together, and the efficiency immediately improved a lot.

"Hey, this girl looks so pretty." Shotai Yoshioka, who had just arrived, said loudly.

Occasionally find a girl with good talent, and it can be regarded as the fun of boring letter opening work for three people.

"To be praised by Yoshioka-san for being beautiful, it must be excellent." Asako Hirohashi came over curiously to take a look.

Shota Yoshioka has been working in the entertainment industry for many years, and he doesn't see too many beauties, and it will definitely not be too bad if he can get into his eyes.

"It's so beautiful, it's like a girl from a comic."

Hearing that even Asako Hirohashi was complimenting, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but be curious, and also leaned over to take a look.

"It's really beautiful."

The girl in the photo has a delicate and beautiful little face, and when she smiles, her chin is pointed, and she is really like the sweet heroine in the comics, as Asako Hirohashi said.

However, how Hanyu Hideki looked familiar, he simply took the girl's personal information from Shota Yoshioka, ready to see who it was.

Minako Kudo, whose birthday is July 31, 1967, is located in Kamiakatsuka-cho, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo.

Hey~

Isn't this Minako Honda, who debuted as an idol singer in 85, but ran headlong into Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda, who were competing for hegemony, and was crushed by the two super idols all the way, and the most acclaimed record in her career only sold 250,000 copies.

The reason why Hanyu Hideki remembers this idol who is not popular is entirely because of the sad fate of the other party's illness and early death.

In my memory, I once saw a list of neon actresses, and this one was ranked below the Sakai spring, so I was very impressed.

It seems that the first place in this list of bad luck is occupied by a certain chubby dish all the year round, no wonder later generations will directly jump out of the other party's name when they enter the bad name at a certain point.

"This kind of appearance condition is enough to make an idol debut, or she will be determined first." Shota Yoshioka suggested.

"Don't worry, there are still so many people who haven't seen it, and it's too late to be sure later."

Although Asako Hirohashi also admires this Minako Kudo, she is not in a hurry to make up her mind.

Hideki Hanyu didn't say anything, after all, it's too early to say anything.

However, the three of them didn't stay busy for long, and after Shinsuke Ito successfully shot an ice cream commercial and began to enter post-production, several employees who were taken by him finally returned.

Anyway, the selection criteria only need to be beautiful and cute, and the work of the primary selection was decisively lost to their subordinates.

Hanyu Hideki also took advantage of the temporary leisure to continue to create, and he did not forget that he was still a writer at all.

Without the continuous cash flow brought to him by his works, he would invest in entrepreneurship and enjoy life.

At this time, he is glad that he chose to create picture books and become a writer.

Picture books are such readings, and the sales explosion seems to be inferior to novels and the like, but they can't stand the long sales life of picture books.

How do you say that, children will not be three years old forever, but there will always be three-year-old children.

The annual sales volume seems to be only 50,000, but it is printed almost every year, and the sales volume is stable, and it will be sold for decades without attenuation.

And parents buying picture books are not like buying novels or anything, they start with several books, children read them quickly, and the purchase frequency is very high.

In his previous life, he bought picture books for his little niece, and he bought several copies at a time, and he had to buy them once every two or three months.

Don't look at his plan to release at least fifteen picture books a year, but for the picture book market, it is easy to digest, which is why the Shogakukan attaches great importance to him.

The market is big enough, and he is still a popular writer who does not worry about sales, and he can really sign as many as he can.

That is, Hanyu Hideki considers that the inventory in his brain is limited, and he doesn't want to be too different, otherwise he will really live in the Elementary School Hall.

In fact, not only picture books, but also children's literature books have such characteristics, open the sales list and take a look, the list is dominated by children's literature.

Therefore, in addition to picture books, Hideki Hanyu is also ready to try other children's literature, and he can earn a little more, and he has more places to spend money.

Originally, it was said that the children's novel would be serialized, but it was delayed because of the Pokémon IP, and now it should be done.
