"You two came to me worried about the handshake meeting and the debut song, right?" Lin Junxiu looked at the expressions of the two people and asked proactively.

Although Lan looked quite high-class during his debut press conference in Hawaii, his family is not well-known. And now it is difficult for Johnny & Associates to say that they can dominate the world of male idols. After all, there are many people in the entertainment industry.

I can't stand Johnny's eating alone, so from time to time, other companies launch their own male idol groups to compete with Johnny's Agency. Although the die-hard fans accumulated by Johnny's Agency over the years are still very monolithic.

, but after being beaten a lot, there is always some looseness.

Lin Junxiu actually thinks that the group Arashi is reasonable as the successor group of SMAP. They have also worked hard and worked hard. Although they may not be the pioneers who pioneered the idol career halfway like SMAP, they are indeed in the existing idol field.

Achieved the best. Although the sales of Lan's singles and albums later almost dominated the charts or even destroyed the charts, Lan's fans also know that Lan's record sales have a big shortcoming, that is, there are no hundreds of records.

Wan single.

"Million sales" is regarded as a symbol of a singer or a group's enlightenment in the Japanese record industry. Whether or not you have this "million sales" certification on your record resume will have a very different perception from passers-by. Most of Johnny's 100

With all the orders concentrated in the hands of KinKi Kids, KinKi Kids can slowly get rid of the "idol" label on them and be accepted by the Japanese music circle as one of their own.

In addition to KinKi Kids, the only groups under Johnny's that have millions of singles are J-FriUN, SMAP, Shuji and Akira. In addition, Kondo Scumbag and Katori Shingo (under the name of "Shingo's Mom") each have one

Millions of orders. Among them, J-Frineds and Shuji and Akira are limited groups, J-FriOKIO, V6 and KinKi Kids are jointly formed, while Shuji and Akira were formed because of "Wild Boar Makeover", and later members Tomohisa Yamashita and Kameli

and also debuted under the name UN respectively.

As for Arashi, the closest thing they have to selling a million singles is the debut song "A·RA·SHI". With the sales volume being so low, Arashi's fans only need to take advantage of the fifth or tenth anniversary of Arashi's debut to get one.

Support activities can rush forward. However, Lan changed record companies, and the termination process with his old club was not amicable. As a result, his old club destroyed the record in a rage and permanently terminated the sales of this single. Therefore, it was shipped.

There are no singles with millions of sales. No matter how hard Lan’s fans try, this single will naturally lose the possibility of being certified as a “million-seller” forever.

The biggest intervention Lin Junxiu made in Arashi after his rebirth was to let Keiko Fujishima's Johnny Storm company establish the record label J Storm in advance, and let it be responsible for the production and distribution of Arashi's future records. If you are lucky, this time

Arashi's debut single "A·RA·SHI" should be likely to receive a "million-seller" certification.

As for the handshake event, many fans who later entered the Japanese entertainment industry thought it was exclusive to the AKB48 girls, and then used this event to mock the 4846 girls as specializing in "handshakes." In fact, starting in the 1970s,

, many idols in Japan have such handshake meetings, and Johnny's family is no exception. However, later on, there were fewer handshake meetings held by Johnny's family, and they were basically only held when the group had just debuted or was about to debut, that is,

It is used to test popularity and accumulate attention at the same time. Once the group becomes popular or the popularity is fixed, the handshake meeting will basically not be held.

"It's not impossible to say you're not worried. After all, no one wants to go through what SMAP-senpai went through." Sakurai Sho replied. "Although I have long realized that idols are products produced by offices and record companies, but look at

It is indeed a bit chilling to abandon a product just because the market is sluggish and cannot be sold at a high price."

SMAP hit the streets right after they debuted, and the agency let them take care of them. In the end, they relied on the "Kimura Shinhwa" in the field of Japanese dramas to gradually turn around and reach the status of a top group. Arashi is even more legendary than SMAP. They were still very popular when they debuted.

It was in line with the development process of Johnny's idol group. However, the agency soon discovered that Arashi's sports car could no longer pick up speed, and it had been so dull for several years.

Because there had been SMAP cases, the firm still wanted to copy SMAP's handling methods to save Arashi's popularity. However, the golden age of Japanese dramas has passed, and variety shows have become more and more oligarchic. All the successful cases of SMAP are placed on Arashi.

None of them succeeded. In the end, just like SMAP relied on the Red and White Song Festival to survive, Arashi could only rely on Johnny's New Year's Eve concert to maintain its modest popularity. Just like the fans of the younger generation shouting "Senior, don't waste resources"

At that time, Lan was actually like SMAP, relying on a Japanese drama to make one person famous, and then another person became famous, and just like that, he turned around.

Seeing the two people who were a little hesitant but actually had strong desires in their hearts, Lin Junxiu was embarrassed to throw cold water on them. He said, "Don't look at the autograph session and debut list you are waiting for. They are in line with the standard development path of Johnny's idols, but

Next, you will have to remain popular until 2005. Only after Jun Matsumoto stars in "Boys Over Flowers" can you soar into the sky.

Fortunately, the two of them were still full of hope for their future, so they did not get entangled in this aspect. Their main purpose was to understand Fujishima Keiko. After all, they have become Fujishima Keiko's exclusive artists since their debut. Regardless of their future development,

There is no way around her. And inside the office or in the entertainment industry, Mijima Iijima's reputation is obviously higher than that of Keiko Fujishima. Lin Junxiu guessed that if Lan had a choice, they might look forward to Mijima Iijima's reputation more

A subordinate?

After the dinner, the two parties went back to their respective homes. Lin Junxiu's most important task now is to finalize the film schedules of various theaters to determine the premiere date of "Call for Love in the Center of the World". Fortunately, with the commercial broadcast of Satomi Ishihara

After the film was released, Ishihara Satomi's popularity began to rise, so everyone's expectations for Ishihara Satomi's debut as an actor, "Call for Love in the Center of the World" suddenly increased a lot.

In October, Ken Hirai, the ace singer under Sony Records, released his single "Close Your Eyes". This is the theme song composed by Junxiu Lin for "Call for Love in the Center of the World", and Ken Hirai was invited to sing

After recording this song, Ken Hirai loved the song very much. After agreeing to promote the movie for free, Lin Junxiu agreed to Ken Hirai to release a single with this song.

Sony Records is indeed a big company and has directly produced three versions of PV for this single. These include the "movie pilot version" composed of clips from the movie, and the "movie pilot version" that uses the lyrics of the song.

"Drama Version", and the "Studio Version" of Ken Hirai recording a single from the side. Even the simplest "Studio Version" PV, the quality of the picture is very good. After watching it, Lin Junxiu became deeply jealous.

Why is Johnny & Associates always cutting production budgets?

The sales performance of the single "Close Your Eyes" is very gratifying. It not only won the first place on the Oricon weekly song chart, but also made Ken Hirai appear on all music programs and variety shows on all national TV stations in Japan.

Ken Hirai's number of Cyworld followers has also increased a lot. You must know that Ken Hirai is a man addicted to music. Not only does he rarely update, but the rare updates he does are basically talking about the music he listens to and some feelings.

Driven by two major good news, the enthusiasm of theater chains has been completely stimulated. Not only did the mainstream theater chains unify the release schedule, but also guaranteed the number of screens in the first week of release. See the final date of November 5

With the premiere date decided, Lin Junxiu finally let go of his heavy heart.

On November 3, Lin Junxiu received an email from all Arashi members, reminding him that today is the day of the public release of Arashi's debut single "A·RA·SHI". And Arashi naturally appeared on Tamori's "Musi"

, and then this show became one of Arashi's "black histories" in his early years. Even Arashi's die-hard fans will complain that this is probably because in Johnny's history, the costumes of the debut group are better than the costumes of Johnny's junior, who is the backup dancer.

An ugly show.

In fact, I have always been fascinated by the aesthetics of Johnny & Associates, but I can still generally feel it. Since Kitagawa loves Broadway musicals and musicals from the Golden Age of Hollywood, the costumes of Johnny & Associates are all the same as those of the past, with sequins and sequins.

Feathers, tassels, etc. But Lan's debut song costume is still Johnny's favorite outfit, because the five teenagers wore large white pants and transparent long clothes and trousers outside.

Old Man Yongxi’s explanation is that the transparent long trousers are raincoats, symbolizing the young people bravely fighting the storm. Although the raincoat part is explained in front of us, what about the big white pants? Why not

What about not allowing teenagers to wear crotchless pants? This complaint soon came true, because the teenagers from Guan 8 actually wore crotchless pants to perform at their concerts.

Because he had been baptized by Lan's little raincoat before he was reborn, Lin Junxiu, except for showing an expression of "there is nowhere to escape if you should come", spent the rest of the time looking at the expressions of the five teenagers. Looking at

Lin Junxiu thinks that the cool Ninomiya Kazuya and the handsome Sakurai Sho should be recorded and made into GIF animations. I will show them both when I have the opportunity to see how they face their past. After all, these two

Personally, in the middle and later stages of Lan's character design, I don't try to be cool and cool, but now I'm really very good at it!

The premiere of "Call for Love in the Center of the World" was held at a flagship theater of Toho Cinema Line in Roppongi. Seeing the address of the theater, Lin Junxiu had already envied Sony, Toho and other established capital groups. The properties they control in Tokyo

It is enough to allow them to live happily no matter how much money they lose. Even public broadcasters like NHK benefit from their Tokyo properties. NHK's annual operating income is about 700 billion yen, but their headquarters building alone is

The annual profit is as high as 500 billion yuan. Importantly, the profits related to these properties are not included in the company's income, so this money silently disappears from the books.

Whenever he thinks about the property profits of these old clubs, Lin Junxiu feels like he is soaked in lemon juice. Although Lin Junxiu will invest in one or two properties in the future, it is naturally impossible to hoard buildings like Sony and others.

"Jun Lin, calm down your expression. After all, you are still our Johnny's idol!" Just when Lin Junxiu was looking at Toho's flagship cinema, Fujishima Keiko didn't know when he appeared behind him, coldly

He reminded coldly, "There are quite a few reporters here. Mr. Lin doesn't want to be published in the newspaper looking like a 'moron', right?"

"My expression just now was really obsessed?" Lin Junxiu immediately adjusted his expression back and asked with some disbelief.

"Now I know what Mr. Lin likes." Fujishima Keiko also laughed, "The way you look at this building is as wonderful as the way other men look at beautiful women. But, Mr. Lin, do you really like this building?"

can not afford."

"I know." Lin Junxiu did not deny it. Moreover, if he really has money, he does not plan to buy here in the future. According to Lin Junxiu's idea, it is enough to buy a building in the center of the city as the headquarters, and try to place other offices in surrounding areas.
