One thing to say is that although this show is planned by his own company and has Nogizaka in its name, Hayato Minakami doesn't feel that his competitiveness is really better than those three young idols.
Don't look at him calling "little idols" one after another, but in the past few years, the concept of "Idol Warring States Period" has been heated up. Female idol groups have sprung up like bamboo shoots, and various little idols can be seen participating in programs on TV at any time. , even if Nogizaka relies on Stargaze, he has only made a slight appearance in this cruel era.
On top of it, they are suppressed by Good Morning, AKB and Momocao, who are known as the "Three Generals", not the "Big Three"...
Now standing opposite him and confronting him are the three captains of the Big Three, and the pressure is still a bit high.
Thinking of this, Hayato Minakami turned his head and looked at the team leader next to him. He remembered Hashimoto Nana's usual reports and what he saw when he participated in their program before, and suddenly felt even more pressure.
"Looks like I'm going to do 1V3." Mizuna Hayato looked at her and shook his head silently.
Sakurai Reika looked up in confusion: "Ah? Are you going to act like this later? But the director said..."
"?" Mizunami Hayato was stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the camera, only to realize that it was not turned on now.
He knocked her on the head: "Don't talk nonsense, we have to be in the drama at all times, understand?"
Sakurai Reika put her hands on her head and nodded: "Oh."
Although this time's "draft" is not like some programs, there is some kind of blacklist to tell the players in advance, "If you don't sign a contract, you can't debut", but basically the outstanding talents have been divided among them.
After all, when we first started recruiting people, we didn’t mention that it was going to be a program, so we eliminated a lot of people who came to try their luck and use the program as a stepping stone. People who came to sign contracts and debut in the first place naturally wouldn’t resist confirming in advance. Office.
So the last program is actually a large-scale "stage play". The actors and the general direction have been booked, and it just depends on how they perform it.
And "1V3" is the acting method that Mizuna Hayato came up with.
As mentioned before, the highest level of popularity is not just to mention someone's name, but to elevate one's own status and form a confrontational situation. This way, everyone will mention the name. Sometimes, I will subconsciously think of another one.
This time, the "opponents" chosen by Hayato Minato are three combinations that stood at the apex of the "Idol Warring States Period."
If Nogizaka's little idols are allowed to jump out and take the lead to compete with them, the audience will definitely regard Nogizaka as just trying to gain popularity.
In this way, if the consequences were better, Nogizaka would lose badly and be ridiculed for not overestimating their abilities but gain a certain amount of popularity and love. But if the consequences were worse, they would be hung on the pillar of shame by the fans of those groups and treated as The synonym for popularity ruined the entire name and even affected Stargaze behind it.
But Minato Hayato chose to be the turret and plank, forcibly using his influence to promote Nogizaka. On the show, it seemed like he was fighting against the three groups, but in fact it was shown at every turn that he was here to help the sisters. Coming forward, representing Nogizaka.
It cannot be said that this method is foolproof, and there will definitely be no criticism, but at least, most people will not care about the tricks behind it, and will only watch the content he performs in the show with amusement.
What? You ask how come the entertainment agencies behind those groups would allow him to take advantage of the popularity?
As explained before, after they heard the news, they came here specifically to get involved, not because they wanted to rub off on him or the popularity of Station S. In addition, under the direction of Hayato Minakami, they deliberately relied on program editing to improve their performance. It is an excellent exchange for them to gain the warmth of the person they penetrate.
Exchanges in the entertainment industry are nothing more than the exchange of resources. Sometimes the bargaining table is full of gibberish, and those who should cooperate in the future still have to cooperate.
And this kind of replacement and cooperation has become much easier after Hayato Minato's S station platform was established. Many things don't even need to be done through the eldest lady like before, Hayato Minato can do it himself.
So Minato Hayato came to participate in this final "acting". In addition to being able to cosplay as a mentor, another thing that made him happy was that he could so freely control the setting of a program that involved many other agencies.
...
"Takahashi! I've given up Okada to you, so Hori should be mine, right?" Hayato Mizuna patted the handle of the chair and spoke plausibly to Minami Takahashi.
Minami Takahashi is small in stature, but her momentum is not lost at all: "Is our rule that primary school students will be selected in order?"
"Ha!" Mizuna Hayato looked shocked, as if he was angry.
"Hahahahaha, Minakami-kun's expression is so cute." Sayumi Michishige covered her mouth and laughed.
As a real actor, Hayato Minakami has to say that in variety shows, the "acting skills" of these little idols are actually no worse than him. On the given rough script, they can fully display their personalities and find the best expressions. Interesting points to show.
Thinking of this, Mizuna Hayato nudged their team leader again: "Hey, say a few words."
"Ah? But didn't you say I would leave it all to you?" Sakurai Reika was still confused.
Minato Hayato was sure that her useless aura on the variety show was no longer a character.
But the variety show was very effective, and Mizuna Hayato could already hear the laughter coming from the audience.
So just like that, amid a burst of laughter and cheers, Mizuna Hayato "perfectly" completed the "1V3" idea, and implemented the list discussed in advance, completing a perfect "drama".
After this program is officially aired, several agencies will jointly launch a group that I don't know how long it will last, but it is absolutely hot and can definitely make money now, and Nogizaka has gained their second generation.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the broadcast, the two of them can also release singles at the same time. It's a win-win situation, no, win-win situation.
...
The recording of this program took Hayato Minakami a whole day.
Although he was very tired after the event, he still invited several young idols to go to the "celebration banquet" together.
Of course, Hayato Minazin didn't want to take action against a few young idols. This was just basic social etiquette. Moreover, he also wanted to inquire about the daily operations of these large groups. For this reason, he also called Nana Hashimoto to study and observe.
"Oh, so you don't get rice? Oh, it does come with a bento, but it's not that complete. Yes, we are self-service. We have our own canteen so we can eat more safely. We only order bento when we go out. The bento is not too high-end. Now We are worried that they will gain weight if they eat too much, and we try to limit the amount they take every day.”
"Oh, the process of your handshake meeting is indeed worth learning, but isn't it too unsafe to have no security check when entering? After all, there are so many strangers wanting to shake hands with you..."
