Many agencies in Japan that mainly focus on actors and actresses have affiliated sub-actor agencies, because in the Japanese entertainment industry, sub-actors and actors are still regarded as two professions. After all, many sub-actors were very popular at the time, but they may not be able to successfully grow into famous actors.

Red actor.

At the time, the children's special-photo drama "Tekko" was a popular TV series for Zi Gongxiang, but the two male protagonists in the film ended up disappearing from the public. The male lead, Kozonoji Joe, the actor Kazuki Futami, was only famous.

He retired after two years, and was later rumored by a Chinese marketing account to be filming a boy-boy movie. Kimura Masaru, the second male lead in Kichijoji Kuranosuke, also turned into a stage actor after this tokusatsu drama.

, the only successful work in the later period was the movie "Blue Flame" in which Ninomiya Kazuya starred. Therefore, in order to reduce risks, many brokerage companies usually wait for sub-actors to successfully transform before releasing them from affiliated sub-agency agencies.

Moved to our company.

Rimi Ishihara is no exception. She is currently receiving training at Horipro Academy, a sub agency and actor training institution affiliated with Horipro. Although Rimi Ishihara is only a trainee, Horipro Academy did not reject the audition sent by this company called "Show Production Company"

Invitation. Although the reputation of the show production company is not obvious, the two brands Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Novel are well-known, not to mention the endorsement of Dentsu, the number one advertising agency in Japan, so Horipro Academy notified them without thinking.

Satomi Ishihara and Akeke Nakao came over.

Ishihara Satomi is just a new student who has just entered the training institution, while Nakao Akeke is already an old student. If nothing unexpected happens, Horipro will officially sign a brokerage contract with Nakao Akeke next year, which will be regarded as a successful transfer. Because Nakao Akeke is destined to

He needs to immigrate, so Horipro and Horipro Academy are trying their best to help him contact resources so that he can have a relatively high asxs after the immigration is successful. However, like most newcomers, Nakao Akiyo is currently either in some unpopular

Acting as a background guest in some TV shows, or appearing in some human backgrounds in some commercials, this can be regarded as accumulating acting experience.

"Ishihara, Nakao, here is a performance invitation from the show production." The director of Horipro Academy's management affairs specially approached Ishihara Rimi and Nakao Akikei to give them a lecture.

Although it is just an advertising performance, it is an agent of Dentsu after all, and Otsuka Pharmaceutical is involved in the filming. In the advertising circle, this is also an A-level production. Although Horipro Academy is not short of one or two advertising shooting opportunities, no one knows about this

What is the background of show production, so it is better to give a few words to my subordinates.

"You should also know what kind of companies Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Dentsu are, and you should also have seen the coverage capabilities of ポカリスエット advertising. Even if you are just performing advertisements, this will be very helpful to your future stardom. An advertisement of the same level as ポカリスエット

Performance experience is enough to be included in your performance resume, so this interview must be treated with caution."

"Nakao-senpai, what should I pay attention to in the advertising performance interview?" Compared with Nakao Akechi, Ishihara Satomi is really a rookie. After coming out of the supervisor's office, the seemingly carefree Ishihara Satomi immediately asked Nakao Akeke

ask.

"I've never seen you so well-behaved before." Nakao Akeke complained in a low voice, but he still explained it to Ishihara Satomi seriously.

Ishihara Satomi is not that kind of arrogant or pretentious girl. Although she is a little informal, she is definitely not the kind that makes people hateful. In addition, the training teachers at Horipro Academy take special care of Ishihara Satomi. Anyone with some discernment will know Ishihara.

Satomi is definitely one of the actresses that the agency will recommend in the future. It is wise to start as early as possible if you can make a good relationship now. Nakao Akikei has been in the industry for a while, and as a male idol, he can still

Being friends with Johnny & Associates and its idols, you can imagine how high this person's emotional intelligence is.

"This kind of advertising audition is actually similar to when we come to Horipro Academy for an interview. We introduce ourselves, then let the interviewer see our appearance and body shape, and then perform a talent. Generally speaking, it is better to perform dance, because many advertisements use

Worthy of dancing."

"It sounds very simple, so wouldn't it be easy to win?" Satomi Ishihara asked stupidly.

"It's not that simple!" Nakao Akiyo said, "The main thing is that your image must match the advertising brand or product, as well as your personal abilities, your worth and other factors. However, advertisers like Otsuka Pharmaceuticals

There is no shortage of money, so if they can be selected to shoot commercials, they will basically be happy to pay."

Ishihara Satomi nodded half-knowingly, "Thank you, Nakao-senpai, for your answer. Let's work hard together tomorrow!"

Satomi Ishihara and Akiyo Nakao were escorted to the show production interview site by their agents assigned by Horipro Academy. Although Japan's entertainment system and corresponding laws are relatively mature, there are still many unscrupulous companies that take advantage of legal loopholes to get around.

Not only adults, but even minors may be deceived by some illegal agencies in Japan to shoot ONLY FOR ADULT works. Even Japan also has child protection laws, but if you only shoot some Soft Porn works, Japanese law enforcement agencies will also

There is nothing that can be done. Therefore, Horipro Academy has to be more cautious because it does not know whether the production of this show is a real formal production company or an unscrupulous production company that sells dog meat with sheep's heads.

In fact, Show Production is a film and television and advertising production company invested by Lin Junxiu. "Xiu" is taken from the Chinese character of the last character of his name, and it also refers to the English "Show". The current office space of Show Production Company is also crowded in the place bought by Lin Junxiu.

In that building, the interview location was naturally arranged here. In addition to Lin Junxiu, Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Dentsu also sent corresponding staff. Those who need to be interviewed basically have close-ups in advertisements, and at the same time

Those who need to participate in the post-production shooting of posters and other promotional materials. The rest of the group performances are basically checked by the director's assistant, and the director can confirm them during the final shooting.

Although Lin Junxiu nominated Ishihara Satomi to play the heroine in the commercial at the production meeting, Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Dentsu also selected several actresses to prevent Lin Junsu's nomination from not meeting the final requirements. Since the heroine is a commercial

is the top priority, so the interview is naturally arranged at the front. Lin Junxiu is sitting behind the interview seat with a thick stack of information in his hand. The Japanese are very rigorous in details, and this audition information alone is enough

Sufficient. There are not only recent bare-makeup photos of the interviewer, but also makeup photos from her past shooting works. In order not to make the interviewer busy, before the audition, the staff will also take snapshots and then clip them to the information.

Lin Junxiu quickly found the information about Ishihara Satomi. She is the least qualified among all the candidates. At the same time, she is not as good-looking as she was when she was the "National Girlfriend" in later generations. Her baby fat and dark complexion have reduced her beauty.

Quite a few. The only advantage she can take advantage of is her unfinished pure aura and energetic expression.

There were not many people attending the audition for the female lead, so Ishihara Satomi arrived quickly. I saw Ishihara Satomi carefully opening the door, and then introducing herself rather cautiously. She very carefully said that her specialty was dancing, and then

I saw her perform a piece of modern dance. Not surprisingly, she probably learned this piece of modern dance from a partner and then sold it. Not only did she not learn the essence of the dance, she didn't even learn the shape of the dance. Maybe it was

I also felt a little embarrassed, so Ishihara Satomi danced for a while and then gave up decisively. So the interview room was filled with a happy atmosphere, and Lin Junxiu asked Ishihara Satomi to leave temporarily.

"The astringent taste is just right, but the appearance is a bit unsatisfactory." Otsuka Pharmaceutical's impression of Ishihara is average.

"It's better to say he's an elementary school student than a middle school student." Dentsu's representative commented rudely, "And this person's dance moves are too stiff, but this advertisement focuses on dance, so I think it's still that person.

Miss Nishimura is more suitable."

Lin Junxiu frowned. The Miss Nishimura that Dentsu just mentioned was the person appointed by Dentsu. Dentsu is a giant in the Japanese entertainment industry because it is the largest advertising agency in Japan. Advertisers want to find media to place advertisements.

, Dentsu is usually the first choice; when the media wants to undertake advertising, Dentsu is usually the first choice agent.

The reason why Dentsu is so powerful is naturally that its shareholders are powerful. Dentsu’s major shareholders include Kyodo News and Jiji News, and Kyodo News’ affiliated newspapers include Nikkei, Sankeisha and Chunichi Shimbun. At the same time, Kyodo News

It also has a close relationship with NHK; Jiji has a close relationship with TBS. As mentioned earlier, the bosses behind Japanese TV stations are usually Japanese newspapers and news agencies. Kyodo News and Jiji have direct relations with NHK and TBS.

Nikkeisha is the boss behind Tokyo Channel, and Sankeisha is the boss behind Fuji TV. As for Chunichi Shimbun, although it does not have a direct relationship with the core stations of Japan's five major commercial TV networks, it does control the local TV stations

However, they are franchise stations of the four major television networks, including Nippon Television, TV Asahi, Fuji Television, and TV Tokyo respectively. So it is easy to clarify the relationship between Dentsu and Japan's five major commercial television stations. To put it bluntly, they have the same father.

Good brothers. Since we are a family behind closed doors, Dentsu must be the advertising agent for the TV station. At the same time, this is also one of the means by which Japanese news agencies and newspapers can control TV stations more closely.

Facing a behemoth like Dentsu, even if it is just a small supervisor sent by others, it is not something Lin Junxiu can compete with. In the end, Lin Junxiu had no choice but to say: "If the final candidate cannot be determined, then all arrangements will be made first."

Join the group. Let’s see the final training results and choose whoever is the best. After all, we have to be responsible for the product.”

The people at Otsuka Pharmaceutical are also smart people, so they are naturally aware of the dispute between Dentsu and the director. They do not intend to get involved directly. After all, Lin Junxiu is also their favorite advertising director, and they may be able to cooperate for a long time in the future. So everyone

Tsuka Pharmaceutical also stated that it can arrange for two people to train together, and they can bear the remuneration during the training period.

Since the people from Otsuka Pharmaceutical also said so, the people from Dentsu had no choice but to agree. Although Dentsu is the boss of Japanese advertising agencies, it is not the only one. There are originally the so-called "big three" advertising agencies in Japan.

"In addition to Dentsu, there are also Hakuhodo and ADK (Asabutsu Ichi). In the 2010s, there were even top ten rankings. Therefore, Dentsu's influence is actually shrinking, so Dentsu's

The representative does not dare to be too arrogant. Although he represents Dentsu, Dentsu is not represented by him alone. If he really offends the real advertising publisher, he will not feel comfortable after returning.

Compared to Ishihara Satomi's little trouble, Nakao Akiyo's interview went smoothly. After all, his looks, strength, and experience are all there, and there really aren't many interviews that are better than him.
Chapter completed!
