089 On "Love B.I.G."
"So, your last variety show before your temporary retirement will be handed over to TV Tokyo's "LOVE B.I.G."?" Koishi Takaki said with some disbelief.
With the arrival of the summer vacation of 1999, Junxiu Lin's temporary retirement date is getting closer and closer. Originally, many media speculated that Junxiu Lin could not withstand the colorful world of the entertainment industry and broke the contract. However, the news that everyone received from Johnny & Associates
It is Lin Junxiu who is methodically reducing his work.
Originally, with his performance in the Yue Jiu drama and two guest appearances in the Kim Yao drama, Lin Junsu became a new generation of youth idol male protagonists favored by major TV stations. However, due to the long filming period of the TV series, Lin Junsu besides guest appearances in NHK Education
Apart from an educational reality drama on the channel, he has not accepted any invitations for TV series. In terms of TV programs, he has only appeared in a few programs due to the need to promote records and books, and he even temporarily resigned from the department he was responsible for.
radio program.
From all aspects, Lin Junsu is indeed determined to retire temporarily with the goal of temporarily leaving the entertainment industry and working hard for high school. Asahi TV originally had a good cooperation with Lin Junsu in Koshien this summer and hoped to be able to work with him.
Lin Junxiu collaborated on a "farewell show", but Lin Junxiu said that the farewell variety show has been arranged on Tokyo Channel's "LOVE B.I.G.". If it is other programs from other TV stations, Channel Asahi may still fight for one or two more
. But after hearing that it was this program, Channel Asahi immediately gave up its persuasion work.
Anyone who is even slightly familiar with Lin Junxiu’s star journey knows that “LOVE B.I.G.” is where Lin Junxiu started to make his fortune. Although Lin Junxiu’s status as a celebrity no longer needs to be on “LOVE B.I.G.”, this program is regarded as
It is undoubtedly a very good choice to summarize his journey to stardom. When other TV people know about it, they will also praise Lin Junxiu for his affection and righteousness.
"When I was in the most difficult time, TV Tokyo still stood firmly by my side. I must admit this," Lin Junxiu said.
The biggest difference between the Western world and the Eastern world is that the Western world only recognizes "capital" but not "human relations." Or in the eyes of Westerners, human relations are just an introduction to the export of capital, which is far from being compared with capital. But the Eastern world
Different, especially in traditional Japanese enterprises such as TV stations and newspapers, the role of favor is far greater than capital.
Why was Johnny & Associates established? Because Kitagawa Timichi has always been one of the main promoters of Japanese artists performing on the West Coast of the United States after the war. Misora Hibari, Kawada Haruhisa and other great figures in the Japanese post-war entertainment industry were all Kitagawa Timichi's seats.
Guest. Johnny Kitagawa inherited these connections in the entertainment industry from his father, and he had the opportunity to engage in artist training in Japan.
The coffee shop run by his sister, Marie Kitagawa, was the most famous "Artist's Bar" in post-war Tokyo. In addition, after her husband was married to Taisuke Fujishima, a well-known Japanese journalist and a classmate of Emperor Akihito,
They also gained connections in the Japanese press and government. It can be said that the combination of Johnny and Mary, the Kitagawa siblings, truly created the current Johnny & Associates.
After the public relations director Shirami Zetsu, who had served Johnny & Associates for many years, retired, scandals at Johnny & Associates broke out one after another. This was also related to the fact that the new public relations person in charge did not have enough connections.
Koishi Takaki didn't say anything because he also knew how important human relationships are in the entertainment industry.
Just when the conversation between the two fell into silence, Koishi Takaki suddenly saw a familiar name in the newspaper and said: "Lin Jun, the Suzuki Ami you know has released a new single "Be Together".
I’m very optimistic about this single.”
"This single should sell well, but that's not the most important thing." Lin Junxiu said, "Soon, the amazing new female singer Ayumi Hamasaki from Aihui Records will also release a single. Wait for the two of them.
When their fans start fighting, their records are most popular. Tsk tsk, it’s a pity that our agency doesn’t have female idols, otherwise they could get involved.”
"You mean that Aihui Records and Sony Records will join forces behind the scenes to encourage fans from both parties to cheer for their idols?" Koishi Takaki asked.
Between Aihui Records and Sony Records, Koishi Takaki certainly has a more favorable impression of Sony Records, which has a record publishing contract with him. However, when he thought that Suzuki Ami was from Sony Records, Koishi Takaki's favorable impression was immediately cut in half.
In the eyes of Koishi Takaki, Suzuki Ami is a depraved vixen who plans to seduce Lin Junxiu!
"It was definitely not the plan of the two record companies at the beginning, but when you found out that it was profitable, would you refuse to join? The purpose of a record company is to sell more records. You can achieve this goal by stimulating your fans a little. Why?
Are you happy but not doing it?" Lin Junxiu said.
"The era of singers created by Amuro Namie E-san will finally enter the golden age of singers in this 'Diva Battle' between Ayumi Hamasaki and Ami Suzuki. But it is a pity that Ayumi Hamasaki is the owner of Ai Hui Records
My daughter, but Ami Suzuki is not the little princess of Sony Records, so the winner in the end was Ayumi Hamasaki."
"You think so highly of Hamasaki Ayumi? It's as if you know her very well." Koishi Takaki said with a smile.
"Well, Ayumi Hamasaki happens to live in the same building as me, and I went to her house to sing karaoke some time ago." Lin Junxiu said.
Hearing what Lin Junxiu said, Koishi Takaki's eyes widened in shock. On the Tokyo train, Lin Junxiu met Suzuki Ami; now he has moved to a new home, and it turns out Hamasaki Ayumi lives upstairs. According to this logical inference,
Shouldn’t you be surprised next time you meet Namie Amuro?
Seeing Lin Junxiu tell himself this secret so frankly, it means that Lin Junxiu just regards Hamasaki Ayumi as a big sister. Fortunately, boys are late in this regard. If he is leading a female idol
I'm going to be heartbroken. But it seems that my idol is about to enter high school. Such a handsome boy must be vigilant!
Compared with the other four major private broadcasters headquartered in Tokyo, Tokyo Channel's headquarters is indeed much shabby, and their studio is also very simple. Not to mention that there is no dedicated restroom in the lounge, and you have to squeeze in even to use the toilet.
Public toilets, this is really embarrassing. Given Lin Junxiu's current status, Channel Tokyo has indeed arranged a separate rest room for him. At the same time, the other host of the show, Hideaki Takizawa, happened to be on leave.
According to Takizawa's manager, Takizawa has been practicing in various places in Asia recently, so he is unable to take care of this program. He also asked the TV station for their forgiveness. Lin Junxiu curled his lips when he heard this statement, thinking about Takizawa Hideaki.
Isn't it too late to ask for leave? But it seems that the office has begun to recognize the so-called "king does not see the king" between himself and Takizawa.
But in Lin Junxiu's view, the agency clearly released this news to use his own halo to give Takizawa a sense of presence. After all, Takizawa Hideaki is still a trainee at a talent agency, and he is already a serious idol.
Putting himself alongside Hideaki Takizawa and calling them both "kings" is obviously stepping on him and praising Hideaki Takizawa. But because he is from the same agency, although his fans complained a little, they did not cause anger.
After Lin Junxiu checked the script with the program team, several young Johnnys came to visit him. When recording other programs, Lin Junxiu was a junior and had to take the initiative to say hello to other artists. As a result, he returned to "LOVE B.I.G.
"After that, I became a senior. Fortunately, I did the planning of the B.I.G. group, and I knew most of the B.I.G. members. Naturally, the people who came to visit me were the more senior and popular ones in B.I.G.
of members.
"Ohara-kun, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for a while." Lin Junxiu saw a somewhat frustrated Yuki Obara in Johnny's.
In fact, as early as the end of last year, Lin Junxiu warned Obara Yuki. Although Obara Yuki and his "Ohara Group" listened to his words, there were still many older Johnnys in the office who did not regard Obara at all.
Keep those words in mind. Although Johnny Junior, who was cruelly eliminated by the agency this time, is not a member of the Obara Group, the older Johnny has always been a supporter of the Obara Team and the Kansai Team. Therefore, these older Johnny Junior members were
The reduction is actually a weakening of the Obara and Kansai groups. More importantly, Takizawa Hideaki became famous with "The Witch's Conditions".
"Senior Lin, you are quite busy with work, so it's not surprising that you don't have time." Yuki Obara said with a strong smile.
At this time, Obara also regretted it very much. If he had not held back and directly joined Lin Junxiu's camp, his life would have been much easier now, right? Look at Akanishi Jin, even if the whole office knows that he is Lin Junxiu's number one younger brother
, but no one dares to suppress him. In addition to his good conditions, Lin Junxiu will bring Akanishi Jin with him whenever he appears in popular variety shows. And several times in magazines, Lin Junxiu always brings Akanishi Jin. Since the two are of the same age
, so in the eyes of Sakura girls, they have a sense of brotherhood. Thanks to the resources of Junxiu Lin, Akanishi Jin’s current popularity among Johnny’s is probably second only to Hideaki Takizawa.
As for the Question formed by Lin Junxiu? Although he is not liked by the agency, Lin Junxiu has the resources. Not only did he arrange for them to study with some professional bands, but he also took them to attend non-musical shows.
The group has been well received by the industry. There is even some looseness within the agency. Do you think we should consider giving Question? a chance to make a debut and give it a try?
"Ohara-kun, I wonder if you are free recently? Let's find a time to have tea next time. We haven't talked for a long time." Although Lin Junxiu will not treat Yuki Obara the same way he treats Jin Akanishi.
But it is undeniable that Yuki Obara is still valuable. He hopes that his investment this time will let Yuki Obara know who is the "big leg" that he knows to rely on, and not to eat his own food but do it for others like before.
Do things. "You haven't changed your email address, right? I'll contact you!"
Hearing that Junxiu Lin was going to go out alone with Yuki Obara, the other young Johnny's looked envious. Although the office had a somewhat indulgent attitude towards Junxiu Lin, the news about Junxiu Lin would still be spread back to the office. In addition, there were also
Are there Jin Akanishi and Question? Lin Junxiu’s right and left guardians are still there. Young Johnnys all know that Lin Junxiu is an idol in the agency who can bring his own resources besides SMAP.
No matter whether the agency manages Lin Junxiu or not, Lin Junxiu has his own resources to arrange for himself. Not only can he promote himself, but Johnny Lin who has a good relationship with Lin Junxiu can be brought on the show by Lin Junxiu. I heard that Yuki Obara
I used to have a good relationship with Lin Junxiu. It’s just that there seemed to be a small misunderstanding between the two. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Obara Yuuki’s relationship with Lin Junxiu warmed up immediately. Originally, there was no misunderstanding between good brothers.
