"Mom! I received an invitation to the final selection!!!"
"Ah, Rina, that's great!"
"Yeah, but... I'm going to Tokyo..."
"When is it written above? Rina can't be alone in Tokyo, right? Otherwise, I'll go with you."
"No! This time..." The young girl named Rina Ikoma had a timid face, but her eyes were shining: "I want to go by myself!"
Girls from all over the world had different attitudes after receiving the invitation. Some chose to go to Beijing alone, some were hesitant, and some simply chose to give up after seeing the entire final selection process.
Yes, this time the final selection, after discussions with Stargaze, Sony Music, Yasushi Akimoto and other parties, took a special form, which lasted for one month. It was not an interview-like form like ordinary selections, and it could not Completed in a short time.
The girls who participate in the final selection must first gather in a "group dormitory" rented for them in Tokyo, and then undergo a month of idol training, including music, dance and special talents. These trainings will be taught by specialized teachers and at the same time It is also a place to show off your strengths.
This month's idol training will be broadcast live on the newly opened live broadcast section of Station S. Finally, the process from training to member selection will be edited into a complete program, which will be produced into a commemorative DVD through Sony Music's channels. On sale.
Sound familiar?
That's right, just like the concept of "general election", this time Mizuna Hayato also played the role of "the mastermind behind the scenes".
That happened at the development meeting of Station S. As the boss, Hayato Minakami is also one of the biggest sources of creativity. He often mentions some new ideas for the development of video websites in such meetings, and finally his subordinates will carry out the operation and integrate them. Make something achievable.
For example, barrage, data push and other messy things.
Recently, Station S is finally preparing to enter the live broadcast industry.
To promote a new section, in addition to advertising, it is best to cooperate with other things. This is an ecological part of the Internet environment.
Just like the short video section, it is connected to INS. The INS acquired by Hayato Minakami has been officially released. Although it is still operated in the most classic picture method, short videos such as INSLIVE will naturally be co-promoted with the S station, which has become a giant.
The best way for the live broadcast section is to cooperate with Hayato Minazin and other actresses from Stargaze. First attract a wave of fans, and then promote it after getting traffic, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Then let's do a show by the way~" Hayato Minakami said casually: "Anyway, our homemade variety show is also starting, isn't it?"
"Just shoot some idols forming a group, or actors traveling together, or living in the countryside. It's both a live broadcast and a variety show. A small part is broadcast live, and the best part is edited into a variety show."
Just like the "general election", Minato Hayato mentioned a lot of things casually, but naturally, as a subordinate, he couldn't just listen to them.
The person who wrote down this incident later accidentally thought, "Yeah, aren't we going to form an idol group soon?" Then he made the project and handed it in. After a long period of discussion and planning, it was finally formed. This is what it looks like today.
This format is somewhat similar to the popular idol debut show "101" in Minakami Hayato's previous life, but not exactly the same.
The first is the scope of the live broadcast. Each candidate will have his own live broadcast room and his own live broadcast period every day. It is up to him how to live broadcast. On the other hand, the training and testing given to them are also part of the live broadcast. .
As for life, it doesn't involve much, and they don't want to film some dramas such as "fighting" and "infighting", because after all, this is ultimately a "selection" and not a "variety show" for ratings.
In addition, the final selection power is still in the hands of the organizer. The audience does not have the right to vote, but their popularity in watching the live broadcast is indeed one of the criteria for selection.
People selected in this way can adapt to the camera early and test their popularity early. However, according to Akimoto Yasushi's philosophy, the selected members may not necessarily be the best performers in this session, because the entire idol group What matters is unity and harmony.
Those groups selected by "101" in the previous life were very popular during the program. However, after forming the group, the entire group did not overcome obstacles in the form of a "group". Instead, they all went on the road of disbandment. Perhaps It’s related to this aspect.
However, the organizer will never lose money. Stragaze and Sony have selected suitable idol groups. Station S will also make efforts in the future to select some of the unsuccessful ones and discuss becoming the first batch of signed anchors for Station S. .
If that doesn't work, you can finally contact other entertainment agencies with whom you have good connections and recommend girls who are interested in the entertainment industry. No matter whether they are selected or not, it is still a matter of love.
From the idea, to the execution method, to the final solution, Hayato Minakami played a very important role in the key points of this entire project.
This made Nao Fujiwara trust him more and more, and also gave people sent by Sony Music a new understanding of him.
Of course, Akimoto Yasushi is naturally more convinced of Minato Hayato and has already regarded him as a confidant in his heart.
One selection can simultaneously promote live broadcasts on video websites, develop income from live streaming rewards, produce a program to sell DVDs, build momentum for the debut of an idol group, and ultimately build good relationships with other companies.
This kind of business law is truly Mizunami-san who introduced the concept of "general election" into the idol world!
Akimoto Yasu crossed his arms and looked at Mizuna Hayato who was talking eloquently at the meeting, with admiration in his heart.
"I have to work harder." Yasushi Akimoto, who was originally crazy about crossing boundaries, began to think about whether there were any creative ideas that he could do.
...
Mizuna Hayato doesn't know that Akimoto Yasushi has been thinking about announcing his achievement of "proposing a general election" to the world, and he doesn't want him to do so, but he still has a very good impression of Akimoto Yasushi.
It’s not because every time at the banquet after a meeting, he asks Haruna Kojima, who has a very good figure from AKB’s “God 7”, to accompany him. It’s mainly because he has very good cross-border abilities in all aspects, just like himself. Belongs to the category of genius.
With the arrival of the Internet era in the future, if Station S wants to make its own dramas, it may also need his screenwriting ability and influence.
