The main offices of the Japanese government are concentrated in Kasumigaseki in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, Japan, and it is also one of the places that people in the entertainment industry are reluctant to contact. For the traditional and conservative Japanese entertainment industry, keeping a distance from politics is an important factor for them.

A wise act of self-preservation.

On the one hand, Japanese society has a solid understanding of various classes. People in the entertainment industry exist to entertain the public. So is it a bit over the line for people in the entertainment industry to comment on politics? On the other hand, it is the capital behind most entertainment companies.

The composition is complex, and the political stances and tendencies are all kinds of strange. In order to maintain friendly relations with most colleagues, everyone defaults to not talking about politics.

Moreover, the Japanese government and political circles also look down upon the entertainment industry. After all, Japan was still proud of its electronics industry and high-end manufacturing industry during the Reiwa era, so the profits and influence of the entertainment industry were only minimal.

As long as the Japanese government pays a little attention, when the Japanese entertainment industry reaches the peak of its golden age in the 1990s, it should promote it to all Asia and even the world. If the Japanese government can seize that wave of trends, there will be no "Korean Wave" later.

What happened? Unfortunately, when the Japanese government paid attention to the "stay-at-home economy" represented by the entertainment industry, Hallyu not only dominated Asia, but even competed with American culture in Europe and the United States.

Thanks to the Korean Wave, South Korea, a country with neither historical deposits nor cultural characteristics, has become a world-famous tourist destination; and Korean consumer goods, which no one in Asia originally looked down upon, have become synonymous with "quality" and "fashion"

.Under such fierce operations, the Japanese were completely dumbfounded.

Lin Junxiu has never thought about promoting Japan’s entertainment industry to the world. After all, this kind of thing is not something he can lead. What he hopes now is that the Japanese government will pay attention to his AKB48, so that the idol industry can enter the Japanese government’s

We strive to pay attention and support the scope. In fact, Abe Shinzo did pay attention to the entertainment industry and the "stay-at-home economy" including ACG because of the great success of AKB48.

Before Abe supported the "stay-at-home economy", Japanese society and the media had a very bad impression of "stay-at-home". In China, "stay-at-home" may be considered a neutral term, but Japanese society's definition of "stay-at-home" is very derogatory.

. Even in the 2000s, most Japanese people's impression of "otakus" is still that they are slovenly social losers with dark hearts and may become perverts who prey on young girls at any time.

It was not until Abe began to focus on the otaku economy that the image of "otakus" became slightly more positive in Japan, and most Japanese no longer thought Akihabara was a strange place. And the 48 Group, which has attracted the attention of the Japanese government, has naturally ushered in development.

During the golden period, not only did the Japanese government and local governments cooperate with AKB48 and local sister groups, but the Japanese government also used its international influence to pave the way for 48 Group to enter Southeast Asia and even South Asia. The reason why 48 Group can expand in Thailand and Indonesia

The great success is also related to the good relations between the two countries and Japan.

In addition to grabbing things from these parallel dimensions that would have belonged to AKB48, Lin Junxiu also wanted to give himself a halo. The rapid rise of Johnny & Associates in Japan is not only due to Mary Kitagawa and Fujishima Yasu

Fujishima Taisuke’s classmate is the Japanese Emperor himself? If he can get some official support here, then the relationship between Johnny & Associates and the Emperor will be useless. After all, Fujishima Taisuke

He has been dead for many years, and Emperor Akihito has recently been hoping to retire and give way to the throne, and will no longer interfere in the daily operations of Japanese government affairs.

"This is a report from the Bureau of Business Intelligence Policy. You might as well take a look at it during the morning meeting."

At the Monday regular meeting of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry produced a report and at the same time ordered his secretary to give copies to other people attending the meeting.

In fact, when he got the report himself, he also felt that the data in this report were exaggerated. But then he thought that this was an internal report of the department, and there was no need for the people below to falsify the data. Besides, the reporter also knew

The data may be questioned, so the survey data of several third parties are also cited, so the authenticity is still very guaranteed.

"Is this the increase in food, accommodation and tourism income that an idol group brings to a city?" Someone showed a surprised expression after seeing the data.

"This data may not be surprising when compared to Tokyo or Osaka, but it is surprising when compared to cities like Fukuoka and Sapporo. The important thing is that Fukuoka and Sapporo have never been destinations for overseas tourists, but this time they actually attracted

attracted many foreign tourists. What does this report mean? Is it to promote the development of geographical idols?"

“Promoting the development of geo-idols is just one of them.” Someone replied. “In fact, in addition to geo-idols, geo-mascots are also a good choice. After all, compared to the many uncontrollable aspects of idols, mascots seem to be safer in terms of operations.

.But this is all part of it. The real purpose is to let everyone see the strength of the so-called 'home economy'.

Everyone must know Akihabara, right? To us, it seems to be a not-so-special place. But for otakus, this is one of the holy places. You can take a look at the place from the 1980s to 2000

era, the level of economic development of Akihabara and the extent to which Akihabara stimulates the surrounding economy. Although Akihabara is unique and unreplicable, Akihabara is not the only holy land for otakus. The report also included

Data on the ‘stay-at-home economy’ in places such as Kamakura.”

In addition to entrusting some investigation agencies to issue reports to the Japanese government, Lin Junxiu also sent these research reports to major Japanese newspapers and television stations. In capitalist countries, think tanks not only serve the government but also serve capital. Lin Junxiu

It is hoped that these data will be used to awaken the entire Japanese society to pay attention to the stay-at-home economy, and then put a layer of protection on the development of 48 Group.

Although Lin Junxiu emphasized from the beginning that 48 Group would never tolerate any bullying of members such as "pillow business". However, as time developed, especially after 48 Group expanded to many cities, Lin Junxiu's control in Tokyo

The intensity will also be relatively weakened. After all, Japan is a "semi-finished product" that was unsuccessfully transformed back then. You may still be able to feel the so-called "advanced nature" of capitalist civilization in Tokyo, but once you arrive in Tokyo, something unexpected happens.

The rotten smell of feudalism that has not been thoroughly reformed is simply unbearable.

Moreover, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress local snakes. The Japanese central government has limited control over local governments, let alone a company. Lin Junxiu can only guarantee that as long as the members do not let go, there is no way to force them. But these members are young, and secondly

There are indeed people who want to take shortcuts, so Lin Junxiu doesn’t know how long it can last. Now Lin Junxiu wants to protect 48 Group, and then bind the local government’s desire to develop the economy, so that 48 Group’s local sister groups can get

More shelter can also make some blind people aware of fear.

"Why do you think your move like this won't end up making a wedding dress for Johnny's Agency?" Of course Yasushi Akimoto knew that Lin Junxiu had been pushing the Japanese government to pay attention to the idol industry, so he asked curiously

.

"Does Johnny & Associates have an Osaka group? Does it have a Nagoya group? Does it have a Fukuoka group and a Sapporo group?" Lin Junxiu asked back, "Looking at the debut idol groups of Johnny's & Entertainment, that is, Kinki Kids, Kansai Johnny's

∞There are only two Kansai groups. And the Kansai temperament of Kinki Kids has been completely washed away. At first glance, you won’t think there is any difference between them and the Tokyo groups. So, do you think the Japanese local government would hope to cooperate with them?

Will Johnny cooperate?

Our idol agency cooperation hopes to create local idols, and then attract people from other places to come to our place for consumption. As a result, our cooperation with Johnny's can only send talents to Tokyo, and ultimately help the Tokyo government suck blood from other local governments. Who can

Will you agree to this? We are the only idol agency that can truly create local idols, and can attract Tokyo and other places to the local idol agency."

Furthermore, Lin Junsu opened his laptop and showed Yasushi Akimoto the official website data of five girl idol groups including AKB48.

"Johnny & Co. places too much emphasis on reliance on print media and radio and television, and for young people, these media are too old. They prefer to get information from computers and mobile phones. And compared with the Internet, radio and television

Traditional media such as media and print media are easily blocked by other countries or regions for various reasons, but the Internet will be freer. If you look at how many non-Japanese supporters our AKB48 has, you will know how much the Internet can help us.

Although I also know that these online supporters cannot bring much record sales and TV ratings, but if one day someone investigates the idols they know, I hope that the 48 Group can be named by most of them. Wait.

With such appeal, who do you think the Japanese government will choose to cooperate with?"

Yasushi Akimoto actually has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Japanese politics, so of course he understands the advantages of 48 Group to Johnny & Associates. In particular, there is one point that Junxiu Lin did not mention, that is, 48 ​​Group’s advantages to young people

The appeal of people. It’s a bit ridiculous to say that the influence of Johnny & Associates is actually mainly on housewives. But what the Japanese government wants to mobilize now is young people, so 48 Group has a natural advantage.

"Teacher Akimoto, are we going to arrange a TV series for AKB48 as a legacy?" Lin Junxiu suddenly asked.

Johnny & Johnson has TV series such as "The Kindaichi Incident" and "Teacher Kinpachi of Class 3B" as its heritage. Basically, all the favored children of the agency have appeared in these two TV series. And these two TV series are also because of

With new Johnny's idols constantly joining in, filming can continue year after year. As for AKB48, there is only "Majisuga Gakuen".

It's a pity that "Majisu Ka Gakuen" is too considerate of young people's thinking, which makes this TV series unable to enter the mainstream viewing market at all. It's okay to make a movie with a subject like "Hot Blood High School" with delinquent teenagers as the protagonists. After all, the movie is tolerant.

It is much higher than the TV series, and the movie is also

It’s just a one-time deal. But that’s not the case with TV dramas. TV dramas are broadcast every week, and they are broadcast for at least one season; and everyone expects that sequels will continue to be released next year and the year after. Therefore, those who are maverick or have a sharp rebellious spirit

The subject matter cannot survive in the TV drama market.

The original version of "Majisuga Gakuen" tells the story of fierce battles and friendship between delinquent girls. Although it is very middle-class and very passionate, the four words "delinquent girl" blocked the possibility of the upward development of this TV series.

Lin Junxiu will definitely not tolerate such a result. Why would a hot-blooded girl want a bad girl? Even if she is filmed as an idol to avoid being kicked out of school, she can still be hot-blooded and youthful!

Of course, this subject matter is too childish and can almost be put into the sub-genre, so Lin Junxi still needs to make a film and television drama that is slightly older. Because of this, Lin Junxiu and Akimoto Yasushi began to discuss this TV series exclusive to AKB48 or 48 Group.
