349 Diamond Girls Special Project【Part 2】
"Mr. Kashimi, I think you seem to have a misunderstanding about the idol profession." Lin Junxiu said, "Authentic, I will not deny that the idol industry and even the entire entertainment industry have a dark and dirty side, but I can guarantee that my company and my combination are definitely not a place to hide dirt. AKB48 is a group of girls who are purely standing on the stage to perform for fans. They use their enthusiasm to respond to the enthusiasm of fans and use their own bodies to carry the dreams of fans together. Maybe you will feel that what I said is a bit too late, but this is indeed what those girls are doing.
I will not allow my group to do something they are unwilling to do, nor will I let some unclean forces reach into the group. I will not force them, but if they do not match our philosophy one day, we will ask her to leave and make a thorough cut with AKB48. And I also know your concerns, and we only regard idols as a stage in these girls' lives.
We will train these girls to live in the entertainment industry, to be actors, singers, hosts or models, or to become behind-the-scenes staff. Even if they really love learning, we will allow them to treat their idols as a school club activity, and arrange them to study in the right school and try their best to help them go to school. In short, Mr. Kashiwagi, we are definitely not vampires who are sucking blood on girls. I think you can check the news about AKB48, there are no conclusive scandals on them, so please rest assured."
"Even if there are no such messy things, how many years can I have the profession of idols? At the age of 20? Or 30? Even if my Yuki is talented and able to be a singer and an actor, how many years can she retire?" Kashiki's father asked very seriously, "I am just an ordinary member of a small place. All I want is happiness and peace in my children, and I hope Yuki will have a smooth life. But once she chooses to be an idol, her future will become uncertain. I am not a person who is invincible, but I also have actors and singers I pay attention to.
Even if my Yuki can become an evergreen actor like Mr. Kuki, that is not the future I hope to see. In my opinion, I hope Yuki can study hard. If I can go to Beijing to study, it is best. If it really doesn’t work, I can be a teacher or an ordinary member. If it is not good, I can go to the Nakada to study for a beauty salon. When I come back, I will help her open a hair salon. This kind of life is at least stable."
"Mr. Kashimi, if you say you want stability, then the entertainment industry is indeed not a stable profession." Lin Junxiu said with a wry smile.
For those conservative parents who seek stability, the entertainment industry is simply hell. Idols of Takuya Kimura, who are of the same level as Takuya Kimura, have also had a trough after the marriage. If it weren't for his back to SMAP and the magical drama "HERO" helped to turn around, he probably would have been in that FLOP. But what if it weren't for Takuya Kimura?
Hiromi, the host who has close relationships with Johnniez, was almost a front-line host in Japan in the 1990s, and in the 1990s, it happened that Japanese comedians entered the Japanese variety show on a large scale, the golden age of Japanese variety shows. Hiromi, for the fans of the J family, was the most impressive thing about him and Hideaki Takizawa, hosted "8 o'clock J".
It can be said that Jr.'s golden generation has appeared on this show. But because of the ominous incident, when his peers were working hard to improve, he was banned. According to him, his annual income dropped from tens of millions of yen to less than one million, and he even had to rely on his wife to make a living. Fortunately, the good relationship he formed with Johnny Johnny in "8:00" allowed him to return to the TV industry around the 2010s, but he had already fallen from the front line.
Another typical case is Becky. When she was popular, even the advertisements of Masami Nagasawa, Yui Aragaki and others were not as good as her. But after her inappropriate love broke out, she was immediately banned. When she made a comeback, she had already dropped from the guest host of a popular show to the ranks of ordinary guests.
"Mr. Kashiki, maybe you don't know, I am also an idol. When I was a trainee at the Johnniez Firm, more than 100 children entered the firm every year, but the children who can debut every year do not even slap a hand, and sometimes no one even debuted for several years. However, the firm only maintains a JR of about 300 people every year, so more than 100 children will be eliminated naturally every year.
But even so, there are still many children who choose to come to the office to be trainees. Some children have not received the opportunity to debut from elementary school until they are nearly thirty years old. Do you think they are worth it? From the perspective of passers-by, we may ask, why don’t you quit early to go to a short-term university or vocational school, and then learn skills and find a job? But for them, this is a dream. If we don’t take the initiative when we are young and think of our dreams when we are old, do we still have the energy to pursue? Mr. Kashiki, I think we should talk to your daughter.”
The staff had actually invited Yuki Kashiki and Kashiki's mother to the next room, and there was a hidden camera where Lin Junxiu and Kashiki's father were talking. Such good materials must be taken by the TV station. As for whether they can get the broadcast consent form later, let's talk about it. So when Lin Junxiu saw the staff pretending to be a waiter and called out the code, she directly asked Kashiki and her mother to come out together.
Kashiki's mother is the leader of Kashiki Yuki's idol journey, but Kashiki Yuki has never dared to object to her father's decision. In Kashiki's opinion, his father is the one who hinders his dreams. But when he heard his father say, "Even if he doesn't study hard, it doesn't matter, but at least he still has to learn a craft and find a stable job. I hope she is safe and happy. The idol industry is too dangerous for my daughter." Kashiki's eyes were already red, and he followed his mother to the deck.
"Kan Mujun, I know you really want to be an idol, but you have always been worried about your father's opposition. I think instead of letting you and your father guess each other, we should spread the conversation here together. Dad Kashima, you have already talked about your worries, so can you please listen to Kashima Mujun's reasons? No matter who convinces whom you in the end, I think it will be a very good ending." Lin Junxiu said.
Lin Junxiu did not continue to participate in the conversations inside the family, but left behind cameras and other equipment. About half an hour later, the Kashimi family, whose whole family was red, found Lin Junxiu. Kashimi's father said to Lin Junxiu: "Mr. Lin, you said that you should pursue your dreams while you are young, and you are convinced. Since Yuki likes to be an idol so much, I will only lay a thorn between our father-daughter relationship if I stop it. However, as a father, I ask you, please be sure to protect my daughter so that she can pursue her dreams with peace of mind."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Kashiki!" Lin Junxiu also knew that this was an opportunity to give AKB48 and Vernalossom a favorable person, and immediately promised, "We will always be and will always be just a pure idol operation company, and AKB48 will be the most essential idol."
After convinced Yuki Kashiki's father, Lin Junxiu handed the invitation letter to Yuki Kashiki, and then recorded some materials for her life and study with Yuji. After the material was recorded, Lin Junxiu visited Yuki Kashiki's home again.
He told Yuki Kashiki's parents: "We have a special mechanism for minor members, that is, our Vernalossom club itself also runs a Vernalossom Academy. The Vernalossom Academy has a junior high school, a high school and a short-term university department, which can provide long-term daily teaching services to children like Yuki Kashiki.
Before Kashiki became an adult, her activities at AKB48 would be no different from those of ordinary students. Of course, it may be a little harder, but it will definitely not involve any improper content. At the same time, we will abide by relevant government regulations and will not allow Kashiki Yuki to work overtime. If you are not at ease, we also have parents dormitories to provide in Vernalossom Academy. At the same time, we will also assist parents in finding suitable jobs in Tokyo to cover your living expenses. As for Kashiki Yuki, please don’t worry. Her food, accommodation, training, and installation costs are borne by the company.
If Kashiwagi's father has any doubts about us, he can go to Tokyo with us to see our company and school. I think what I saw with my own eyes will always reassure you, right?"
After recording the materials from Kagoshima City, the group returned to Tokyo. The remaining shots were recorded by TV stations. Lin Junxiu only needed to take time to record the pictures with a few guests in the studio. This was just the first half of the special plan, and the second half would be completed from the final selection. However, compared with ordinary selection, the girls selected by Diamond Girls this time have additional training opportunities.
Although it seems a bit unfair, the explanation given by the TV station is that there are only 5 girls specially selected by Diamond Girls, and the number of people participating in the registration is twice that of the third-term student selection, so it is even more difficult. Since it is more difficult, it is reasonable to enjoy a little bit of victory preferential treatment.
