260 Junior Our goal is to harvest otaku!
Although Yasushi Akimoto is very controversial in the idol circle, it is undeniable that he has indeed promoted the diversification of idol culture and at the same time achieved the ultimate goal of an "idol chef" who loves idols.
.Is there any dream that would satisfy the "Idol Chef" more than creating a popular idol and then marrying him home?
For Yasushi Akimoto, he has already achieved this goal. And based on Lin Junxiu's understanding of the Japanese entertainment industry, it is estimated that many of the idols that otakus can't forget are the harem prey of this fat man. It can be said that
, even from the simplest man's perspective, Akimoto Yasushi is a winner in life.
"Does Akimoto-san mean to create a female idol group with enough members?" Lin Junxiu probed with some speculation. He wanted to know whether Akimoto-san had already had the idea of creating AKB48 at this time. AKB48's operation method is actually not
It's so original, whether it's the recruitment of amateurs, the trainee system, the selection system, the graduation system, etc., it's all gone bad in Japan's idol industry.
There are two important reasons for AKB48's success: the first is the "touchable idol" concept created by Akimoto Yasushi; the second is Akimoto Yasushi's talent selection vision. It can be said that everyone can copy AKB48, but can
The only person who put AKB48 on the throne of the Budokan was Yasushi Akimoto.
If you don’t believe it, there is still SNH48 in our country. They have been together for so many years. Did they hold a concert at the 80,000-person stadium in Shanghai? Or held a general election event at the Bird’s Nest? It can be said that SNH48 almost follows the official instructions
The "original sister group" of AKB48 was copied, but why didn't it succeed? The reason is that the man in charge of SNH48 is not named Yasushi Akimoto.
"Under the premise of ensuring that the style of the entire girl group is consistent, if it can accommodate members with more personalities, the more fans it will attract. Because each person can attract different fan groups, the fan base of the girl group will be
will be big enough, so the possibility of the girl group becoming popular will be greater." Yasushi Akimoto said, "But the problem is, how can the positioning of the girl group and the positioning of the members not conflict as much as possible? If my girl group's
If the positioning is rebellious, then cute, ladylike, ladylike, etc. members cannot join in. And vice versa, so it is very important to find a suitable positioning for the girl group."
"From Qiu Yuansang's tone, it seems that he already has an idea? Is it possible that Qiu Yuansang is planning to create a new girl group?" Lin Junxiu asked.
"I have some ideas, but I have never been able to catch that 'eureka' feeling." Yasushi Akimoto said with some distress, "And there is another important problem. I am short of money, so I want to run idols independently.
The combination is very difficult."
Yasushi Akimoto's income is not low, but compared to the operating costs of a girl group, it is not enough. When Yasushi Akimoto originally ran the Kitten Club, it relied on the TV station's "Twilight Meow Meow" program, so the TV station
On the other hand, Akimoto Yasushi helped bear a large part of the operating costs. Especially at that time, the TV station was really wealthy and had nothing to say. "Hard costs" such as members' accommodation expenses, training expenses, service expenses, etc. were all covered by the TV station.
He has taken on the past; at the same time, the TV station has also provided a large amount of publicity resources for free. Therefore, it can be said that Akimoto Yasushi mainly provides his brains and strength, so it is not a problem for Akimoto Yasun to build the Kitty Club by himself.
However, after TV stations eliminated a large number of music programs and idol programs, this strategy of relying on TV variety shows to create derivative idol groups was naturally no longer possible. So the "HP series" represented by the company was born.
, a joint creation method where planners come up with creativity. Compared with TV stations back then, the requirements of Idol Agency are much simpler and more direct, and that is to make money!
The kingly female idol group "Good Morning" has finally caught up with the end of the glory days of records. In addition, Good Morning has not many members and their singing skills are not bad, so they can make a lot of money back by relying on record sales.
Therefore, only one company can be responsible for the operation of Good Morning or HP. When a super large girl group project like AKB48 comes out, it will not be undertaken by one company.
Cost expenditure is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is operational risk. If a girl group like AKB48 does not succeed in the end, the losses will be enough to bring down a large brokerage company. In fact, Akimoto Yasushi later established the company to operate AKB48
AKS is the product of a compromise between various forces. However, as the interests generated by AKB48 and the 48 Group have become more and more huge, former allies have turned against each other. In the end, AKS itself was hollowed out, and all the sister groups of the 48 Group were divided up by various forces.
It’s really a vast expanse of white land!
Lin Junxiu now seriously suspects that Akimoto Kang is asking for money from him. Although Akimoto Kang knows a lot of rich people, there are not many people among this group of rich people who understand the entertainment industry and agree with Akimoto Kang's idol business philosophy. After all, in Jue
In the eyes of most people, Yasushi Akimoto is simply a "destroyer of female idol culture". A "kitten club" brings the dreamy and confusing "man on the cloud" of female idols who have worked hard to cultivate in the Japanese entertainment industry
The feeling was completely shattered, and later Japanese parents felt that there was no difference between a female idol and a female publicist.
But Lin Junxiu feels that Akimoto Yasushi just released the devil in the hearts of the Japanese. If the Japanese don't like it, let alone a kitten club, a hundred big cat clubs will not succeed. It is the heart of the Japanese
It is the deep sense of "irregularity" that makes the weird female idol group like Kitty Club become popular. This is simply something that an excellent psychiatrist can do, which is to make the entire Japanese society face its innermost feelings.
Here, I am no longer just pretending to be young, invincible and cute.
As for Lin Junxiu's assets, even if Qiu Yuankang has not fully investigated, Lin Junxiu estimates that Qiu Yuankang should know most of them. Except for a few industries of Lin Junxiu that are controlled by offshore companies, most of Lin Junxiu's industries are still open and open in the sun.
. And in addition to his ability to make money, Lin Junxiu's fundraising ability is also very powerful. Now TBS TV station, Sony Music Entertainment and Toho have almost no brainers in Lin Junxiu. As long as Lin Junxiu says he wants to invest, these three companies will
The company will follow up immediately. Japan's top advertising agencies like Dentsu and Hakuhodo are also very interested in Junxiu Lin. If Junxiu Lin is willing to believe and explain to them, the possibility of them being persuaded by Junsu Lin is also very high.
After all, Lin Junxiu has also accumulated very solid connections in the circle.
"Akimoto-san, I personally appreciate the 'original stone theory' you proposed. I think if you want to create a new girl group, you can think more about this aspect."
Lin Junxiu felt that Yasushi Akimoto already had the idea of forming a new group at this time, otherwise there would be no problem with his ability to extend the life of Presumptive Girls for a few more years. Probably because Presumed Girls are too similar to the girl groups that Akimoto Yasushi has produced before, plus
Their instant success made Akimoto Yasushi, the top idol chef, lose his target and immediately gave up on them.
"Yes, I think we should not show the completed idols to the fans. This will lose a lot of fun." Seeing that Lin Junxiu agreed with his "original stone theory", Akimoto Yasu immediately started preaching.
"Idols are not singers or actors, so they should not be perfect. For fans, idols should be the sisters next door in their lives. When they are happy, they can share it with their sisters; when they are sad, they can share it with their sisters.
Confidence. And my sister will always be the companion in the hearts of fans, from today to forever. If it is too perfect, just like those idols in the past had to look like 'people on the clouds', it would be too stupid. Idols are not
Clay and wood sculptures for people to worship, they are living people! Therefore, deifying idols is something I have always disliked!"
"Akimoto-san, your idea is indeed correct, but do you think there is any stage that can accept a group of untrained idols?" Lin Junxiu began to hint that Akimoto-san wanted to buy a theater.
Japan's idol industry is so prosperous that Lin Junxiu was surprised when he first set foot in Japan, because in addition to those idols who are famous on TV shows, there are still many underground idols in Japan. Before the emergence of AKB48, Tokyo or
There are small theaters for underground idols to perform in other big cities in Japan. Of course, these idols who can perform in small theaters are not the most miserable. The most miserable idols can only perform on the streets or in parks.
.
They would perform several shows on the street or in open areas in parks, and then sell their CDs and peripherals to onlookers. At first, Lin Junxiu didn't understand why he had to charge for taking photos with them or taking photos with them. Later he learned that this
It’s also a way for people to make a living. After all, Japan’s management of portrait rights is very strict. Since you can sell singing and dancing, there’s no reason why you can’t sell portraits, right?
"Yes, our new group must have a stage!" Qiu Yuanyasu immediately brought Lin Junxiu into the group. While the surprise on Lin Junxiu's face had not disappeared, he added, "We should be in Qiu, the holy place for otakus."
Ye Yuan just needs to buy a performance theater."
"How about the Don Quixote Building?" Lin Junxiu was sure that Akimoto Yasu had visited the venue, so he simply said it for him.
Don Quijote is Japan's largest affordable supermarket. Not only do Japanese people love to shop there, but almost everyone who travels to Japan also arranges a special trip to shop here. Therefore, each Don Quijote store is a popular landmark in the area where it is located.
, so setting up AKB48’s theater here is also to use the popularity of the Don Quixote store to attract the first wave of followers to AKB48. Yasushi Akimoto’s calculation is very smart!
"Xiu-chan, we all want to get together!" Qiu Yuanyao was so excited that his whole body trembled and he almost hugged Lin Junxiu.
"You have been laying the groundwork for so long. You must want to tell me that you don't have enough money and hope that I can join your business, right?" Lin Junxiu used his eyes to stop Qiu Yuankang's impulse to touch him, and then asked with a half-smile.
road.
"Actually, Mr. Lin also agrees with my concept, and Mr. Lin also has a lot of experience in investment. So from the perspective of an investor, Mr. Lin, is my plan worth investing in?" Qiu Yuanyasu put away his frivolous words.
With an expression on his face, he asked very seriously. "Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I understand very well what 'business is about business', so please feel free to evaluate my business plan, Mr. Lin."
As a time traveler, Lin Junxiu certainly knows how profitable the 48 Group created by Akimoto Yasushi and the subsequent Sakamichi Group are, but while the 48 Group is very popular, it is also a showman. Not to mention the internal strife, there are also "Wen Chun Pao" outside
We are ready to go every day. Although Wen Chunpao is a bit retaliatory against Akimoto Yasushi against AKB48, it also has a lot to do with AKB48's "popularity". In addition, AKB48's "original stone theory" has led to many members themselves
There are many problems waiting to be exposed by paparazzi magazines, so there is really no way to solve problems like AKB48, which are criticized by major gossip magazines from time to time.
Compared to the 48 Group, Lin Junxiu is more interested in the subsequent Bando Group. Although the Bando Department has not yet reached the peak of the 48 Group, the Bando Department really does not have that many moths. Of course, some people say that the 48 Group
At least half of Yao Mozi comes from a certain operator, so Lin Junxiu also wants to make the background of 48 Group simpler, so as not to start internal strife after becoming popular in the future.
"I am very optimistic about this business plan, but how to solve the problem of risk control?" Lin Junxiu and Akimoto Yasushi chatted about some problems he thought would arise. Although these problems sound a bit "too early" now, Akimoto
