046. Snow White
After completing the handover with Akiko Matsumoto's agent, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akiko Matsumoto completed their first meeting in the small conference room inside the office.
"Hello, Matsumoto San, I am your new agent Shinichi Iwahashi."
When I came to work in a serious company, Shinichi Iwahashi also changed into a suit, tie, briefcase, and dressed no differently than an ordinary office worker.
The image changes so much that it seems like a clamoring for a revolution. When it is approaching graduation, it throws the declaration aside, and wears a person who is wearing a slut into a student working in a large company.
"Hello, I'm Akiko Matsumoto."
Akiko Matsumoto bowed to him, looked at him a little, and said heartlessly: "So young." As soon as he finished speaking, he probably felt a little rude and stuck out his tongue.
The first impression made Shinichi Iwahashi feel that if he hadn't known in advance, it would be hard to imagine that she was an idol.
However, a little rash or lively behavior also makes people feel that it is not difficult to get along with. As an agent, no matter whether he is a big shot or a flop, he will be together day and night, and artists with too difficult personality will inevitably make people wonder in their hearts.
"Then, Matsumoto Sang will be handed over to you, Iwahashi." said Akiko Matsumoto's agent.
"Yes." Shinichi Iwahashi responded.
The artists produced by Watanabe have very fast rotation of agents, and there is rarely a situation where an agent has not changed for many years with the same artist. For example, Guancun has been with Bushiming for three years, which is already considered a long time.
Just three years after Matsumoto Akiko debuted, Shinichi Iwahashi was already her third agent.
Her first agent was the two Chinese, Teresa Teng and Chen Meiling, who once brought Liu Miko Xiao, the senior agents of Chen Meiling, who were both Watanabe's productions.
The next year, Akiko Matsumoto's agent, who is now handed over, was the backbone agent who has been in the company for four years.
Now, the one who has become her third agent is a newcomer who has just joined the club.

Forget it, it's boring if you say it all.
In 1983, Akiko Matsumoto released her debut single "♂♀kiss", and her song title was a bit frustrating, and her final results were also very eye-catching (street). She missed the top 100 on the list. As the champion of the talent show, she was comparable to Duan Linxi.
I'm afraid there are not many people who know that the last champion of Super Girl is Duan Linxi.
By the way, the composer who provided this debut single is Goto Jiri, who is now colluding with Akimoto Yasushi, and has cooperated with him for win-win cooperation, and serves as the official composer of the Kitten Club, which has become a social phenomenon.
This guy is not bad, has a bit of talent, and he also offers songs to his idol all day long, and is known as the "beautiful name" of idol killer.
I thought that I had signed a championship and picked up a treasure. I let her cheat first. However, from this I could also feel that Watanabe's sense of popularity in the market is no longer the same as before.
To be precise, when it comes to making idols, Watanabe's production is not as good as his apprentices.
In the early 1970s, the truth of heaven and earth, as one of the "new three-person women", was Watanabe's production. The pure idol whose debut slogan was "Snow White", and he had indeed experienced great popularity. He was the most popular female solo before Yamaguchi Momoe. The concept of personal guards and calling started with her fans.
However, after becoming popular, the truth of heaven and earth quickly became out of reach.
Although external impact cannot be ignored, Watanabe has to bear considerable responsibility for making the wrong plan. The positioning of the fan group of Tiandi Truth is too young, which makes her transformation difficult. After Tiandi Truth became popular, she kept asking her to sing songs with the same style, which consumed the freshness of the public.
Of course, the psychological quality of the Truth of Heaven and Earth itself is not good enough, and it is difficult to adapt to the sudden outdated gap. Psychological problems are also one of the important reasons.
As a result, in 1983, the last single "I Am the Day of Snow" disappeared. Of course, before this single, the public had forgotten her.
However, just two years later, in 1985, the name of Truth of Heaven and Earth became the center of the topic again, although it was not a good thing. She went into the sea to shoot a pink movie of Rei*.
Pink movies have a long history in RB, and there are many excellent works among them.
But who is the truth of heaven and earth? He is an idol who was under the banner of "Life as pure as Snow White" when he debuted.
The impact she brought to the public by going to sea was far beyond the reach of a pawn who was under the banner of "the former graduate student of the Fifty-Nine Group" in later generations. Even if she only made pink movies, she did not shoot real shots.
Similarly, the side effects are also strong.
Is it this kind of virtue that an idol, known as pure and flawless? The public's doubts about this dream profession are even deeper.
In the year when the Truth of Heaven and Earth was eliminated, Watanabe Production signed the champion of "Star! Birth", Akiko Matsumoto, hoping to win another popular idol and get a share of the idol era.
As a result, after experiencing a crushing defeat in his debut single, the record company continued to work hard, and Akiko Matsumoto continued to work hard, officially debuted in 1983. In two years, he posted one shot and another, and his idol career has not improved at all.
From the first time the word "idol" was used by nhk, in the past twenty years, there have been no less than a thousand idols who have never been popular.
In this era when new idols debut almost every week, Matsumoto Akiko, who has not been popular yet, is a flower that withered before it even blooms.
Watanabe Production is not a charity organization, and has lost patience with idols that cannot be popular. Now Akiko Matsumoto is facing a somewhat embarrassing dilemma.
Either pack it back to your hometown after the contract period, or find a way to turn things around.
The world of profession has always been cruel, but even so, in all kinds of cruel professional worlds, the cruelty of the art world is ranked among the top.
Although it has not become popular, it is a good time to rely on this era. It is the golden age of idols. Whether it is a TV station or a TV station, there are all kinds of singing programs or activities. No matter how bad Akiko Matsumoto is, she can still come out to make a name like "former "Star! Birth" champion 83rd group idol" and will not lose her job.
However, "the title of the former "Star! Birth" champion brought her little topic, but it also became her heavy shackle.
Especially in the art world, there is also a "fine" tradition of enjoying the self-esteem of others, and apathy of not having a standpoint.
I heard that the art world is more suitable for rookie agents and unknown idols. It’s a joke.
But there is no doubt that the artists need to have a heart-strengthening heart. To be an agent for the artists, they also need to have a heart-strength.
