271. Invisible Operations

"No," Miwa Yoshida corrected Masato Nakamura, "this is very important. ”

She looks serious, like a child who wants to tell you that she has just made an important discovery.

Nakamura Masato felt in his heart that Miwa Yoshida's solemnity was a bit exaggerated, as if in the next second, he heard from her mouth that "the sun rises in the same direction every day", which is regarded as a major discovery by children.

On the other hand, however, I perceived a certain belief hidden in her words.

Because of this, Masato Nakamura lost the idea of teasing her again, just like a kind-hearted adult who was unwilling to hurt the childlike innocence of a child, he acquiesced in her "major discovery", and changed his words instead: "If that's the case, make an appointment next time, and then come over early." ”

"Hmmm......"

"By the way, what is this hood?"

"Giraffes. ”

Miwa Yoshida replied while touching the deer again and again with her chin.

Masato Nakamura couldn't help but laugh, "I know it's a giraffe." I mean, where did this come from? What are you going to do with this?"

"I bought it when I went back to Hokkaido for the New Year. Miwa Yoshida finally let go of Shikayuki and looked up.

She didn't answer the question behind Masato Nakamura, and casually diverted the topic, "Then I'll see you next time." ”

......

TV Asahi.

In the screening room, a video of a punk band performing was playing on the television screen.

The people of the program production team gathered together and looked at the small TV screen together. It was a review meeting that did not involve representatives of the record company, but only members of the production team to decide who would play in the next game.

After the New Year's special on Saturday aired, the response was quite good, and the ratings jumped to 18.2%, among which the gimmick of the two-hour special naturally contributed to the gathering of the best bands from the past, which was enough to attract attention.

But even so, at this time slot, getting this rating is still a number that surprises the production crew.

At the same time of this show, it happened to play against a variety show on Fuji TV, and Asahi TV, which has always been used to being a younger brother after TBS, Fuji TV, and NTV, has surpassed it beautifully in this show.

What made the production team even more excited was that after the special program aired, they received many calls from the audience - not complaints, of course, but praise calls.

"The show was amazing!"

"It's a luxury to see so many great bands perform at once! It's as luxurious as sea urchin caviar rice......!" And such strange metaphors.

But there is no doubt that such a special program is also announcing to the public that among the people, there is now a trend of bands, and in this trend, there are so many excellent bands.

During the New Year, the broadcast of various programs has been adjusted, and after this two-hour special, the band Kingdom of Heaven will take a break for the following week, and the regular broadcast will resume the following week, and the first episode of the resumption of the regular will be the one that will decide the fate of BEGIN.

Is it to sit on the throne of KING, or is it just this step?

This question, which has been fishing for the audience's appetite since years ago, is waiting for an answer.

In fact, regardless of whether BEGIN can get this first-generation KING that represents the opportunity to make a direct debut, there is already AMUSE on the side of the firm, and it is bound to win. On the record company's side, they are also fighting for this band openly and secretly, and everyone can see their commercial value.

Because of this, such superfluous things as being out of the game and then being sent to Shinichi Iwahashi to make a single and then make a debut are absolutely not allowed to happen by default.

Compared with a failed BEGIN, a BEGIN who got his wish to sit on the throne of KING is what the audience, the production team, and the record company and studio are happy to see.

However, winning the championship without suspense will make the show uninteresting, so in the selection of participating bands, it is necessary to carefully arrange and screen, and make sure that all aspects are perfect.

"I think," Iwahashi suggested at the meeting before the review began, "that it would be better to make this episode a 'special' episode." ”

BEYOND itself is a band with a Okinawan flavor, and if you want to ensure BEGIN's success without making the show less interesting - don't try to ventilate with the censors in advance, and don't try to take the audience for fools, especially if it's a talent show that has just started to get on the right track, and the censors are known for their integrity and poisonous tongues.

In this case, I will take advantage of this characteristic, and in this issue, I will invisibly weaken the collision of strength, but let the amateur bands with characteristics and styles appear a few more.

From the initial stage of the show to the present, Shinichi Iwahashi has come up with many ideas.

At the beginning, he put forward a certain suggestion to try his best to convince his colleagues in the production team, and now, the ratings of the program are getting better and better, and his ideas are also working well after being used, which makes his words more and more convincing, and his voice in the production team is getting heavier and heavier-

No way, who let him be right. You can do it, you can go up, if you can't, you can only listen to him.

This time, the idea he put forward undoubtedly solved the idea that the program team had to have both topics and effects and ensure results, so it was successfully passed with little effort.

So, after the regular meeting, everyone gathered again and began to select bands according to this criterion here.

Therefore, even if it is a live broadcast attended by an amateur, there is still an invisible script. The big hands of the production team will not directly hand the things that the audience wants, but they will deliberately put the things that they want the audience to hold in their hands in the front.

Tapes of bands were released, and the pens in the hands of the production crew were kept writing.

Just like after the chef finished cooking, he was smoked until he couldn't eat, as the production staff of the program team, he participated in the whole process, carried out such a boring review, and quietly operated invisibly, so the sense of expectation is also constantly lost.

"And then the next one. ”

After saying this, the staff member in charge of playing the tape changed the tape again.

Shin Iwahashi shifted his gaze from the paper to the TV screen, and as soon as he glanced at it, the moment he saw the instrument the lead singer was carrying, he immediately refreshed.

This is so because the instrument used by the lead singer is – the shamisen.

......

Thirty seconds later, Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his head and wrote down the band's name on the piece of paper in front of him, marking a circle behind it.
