In today's Japanese entertainment industry, although idol groups are becoming more and more important and their share is increasing, this share is still far from subverting the entire entertainment industry. So he had to expand outward. "Where the Stars Shine" is his second step. Compared to forming an idol group, it is obviously easier to form a band. For many agencies that are unwilling to spend effort on the idol market, it is not difficult to pull out their popular artists to form a band. Many economic companies even have their own bands under their umbrella. not to mention. In addition to discovering college idols, the world also has very valuable band groups in schools. Just for this. Ping Qingshan thinks this project should be carried out. On the other hand, with the current season system of "Sakura Girls" unchanged, there is also a half-year window period every year. Using another talent show with a different style to rotate can also reap some of the benefits of "Sakura Girls".
But now. His work focus is still on Sakura Girls. Only after the first season of Sakura Girls is completed will his focus shift to "Where the Stars Shine". Just as the girls in the light music club were chattering about whether or not to participate in the "Shine Your Stars" band audition, on the other side, in Tokyo, there was an exhibition hall called Fanxing. A pink-haired girl was hiding inside a giant trash can. At this moment, the devilish sound from outer space was lingering in her mind. "Let's go to the auditions for this show!! We can be on TV then, and I heard we can even go to the Budokan for the finals!!! That's a Budokan!!!" "Yoshi! I was just worried that there would be no performances after the cultural festival! Now, let's head to the Budokan!" Ijichi Kouka's voice was very excited, but Yamada Ryo's tone was still flat, and it was unclear whether he really thought so or was simply adding fuel to the fire. But the pink-haired girl had no time to distinguish these things at this time. She was like a groundhog who couldn't feel safe, or like a vampire who had been sleeping for many years. Digging into the soil with great effort. It seems that only by digging to the center of the earth can one avoid the eagles in the sky and avoid the sunlight. As the groundhog continues to dig down. The sounds gradually died down, and calmness gradually filled Goto Doku's heart. pity. The girl had just begun to think about how to decorate her room at the center of the earth, and the next second, the sun standing between heaven and earth spoke. "Pochi!? Why are you in the trash can again!?" "Come out quickly~~" "No!! I will never go out. I am right here. I am not going anywhere." "Shall we go first then?"
There were footsteps outside the trash can. After a while, Pochi began to crawl out of the trash can. Before he could take a breath, he felt a pair of slender hands tightly wrapped around his waist. "Ryo-senpai!! I caught Pochi~~" Kita Ikuyo was like she had caught a big fish. She held Pochi in her arms and looked towards Ryoko with a smile on her face. However, this smile completely pulled Pochi's soul up to the sky. She had already tried her best on the stage of the school festival. Of course, she did not deny that it felt good to be on the stage and to be with friends, but... "That's a Budokan!!! I'm really going to die." The girl let out a scream and then fell to the ground. “Ahhhhh!! It’s going to fall, it’s going to fall.” Kita Ikuyo was staggering while holding Pochi, but fortunately Nijiya and Ryoko reacted quickly and went over to help. So the picture became. Kita Ikuyo stood behind Pochi and hugged her, while Nijixia and Ryoko held her on the left and right, and Pochi lay straight in the middle. It seemed like some kind of strange ritual. "You won't die, Pochi. I believe you. Imagine that when we pass the audition, you stand on the stage of the Budokan, the spotlight shines on you, and you perform a guitar solo. That would be..." Hongxia hasn’t finished painting the pie yet. Pochi's soul has already flown into the sky, with his hands clasped together. "I'm going back to heaven... Amen, goodbye, my friend!" Everyone hurriedly raced Pochi's soul back into his body. Visibly, Pochi's complexion began to recover, and he finally opened his eyes, as if he had returned to normal. "Why am I here? Who are you?" "Hey, hey, hey! Don't rewind without permission, Pochi!!!" ~~~ The Starry Exhibition Hall is always so lively. Chapter 181 Released “It feels like I haven’t been to the cinema for a long time.” "Yeah, I don't know if this movie is scary or not." A weekend afternoon in June.
The light music club members gathered in the cinema. They are going to the movies. There weren't many people in the cinema. Strictly speaking, neither Hirasawa Yui nor the others were actually familiar with movies. Again, in Japan. Not many people actually watched the movie. What attracts Japanese audiences to the cinema is either the IP of animation or the IP of TV series. Compared to the film market in other places. Japan Tong’s cinema is more like the final step for an IP to succeed. Generally speaking. Be it animation or TV series. As long as it becomes popular, the final step for this IP is to make a theatrical version. If the theatrical version can make money, it will prove that the IP is indeed successful. This is also reflected in China, for example, there is a movie made of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". It's just that this model accounts for a relatively small proportion in China, but in Japan, if you look at the revenue from movie screenings, basically in a year, 10 of the top 6 box office hits are TV series or theatrical versions of movies. This model is gradually being accepted. This has created a strange phenomenon, that is, Japanese audiences go to the cinema not for the movies, but just because something they like happens to be playing in the cinema. It is obviously impossible for Ping Qingshan to change this market, so the promotion of "The Deathday Party" was also adjusted specifically based on this feature. In addition to the regular plot promotions and promotional videos of Satomi Ishihara and Mai Sakurajima, the most frequently used words in the entire promotional channel are: “The latest masterpiece by a director with a box office of 10 billion!!!” “Another film from the director of “Battle Royale” that explores human nature!!!” "Mr. Billionaire's masterpiece! A more exciting movie than "Battle Royale"!" Strictly speaking, these are not actually promotions for the movie itself. The entire promotion is actually still using the IP and piggybacking on the IP, but this IP has become Ping Qingshan. As for the quality of the film itself, it is rarely reflected in its publicity. But, how to put it. Japanese audiences buy into this. Some viewers think that since the director of this movie has been successful, the movie must be good. There are fans of "Battle Royale" who will go to the cinema just for these promotions. In addition to these, Sakura Girl, as Ping Qingshan’s biological daughter, naturally also cooperates in all aspects of the promotion.
In addition to the full-scale promotion by Dentsu, Tokyo TV, the AKB idol system which is in its honeymoon period, the Sony idol system, and HORI agency. The promotion of "Happy Death Day" throughout June was like a tsunami. At the peak. If you turn on the TV, you will most likely see ads for "Happy Death Day" on several channels. This is because other TV stations have not yet sided with Ping Qingshan. However, as Ping Qingshan's commotion grows bigger and bigger. Many TV stations have begun to allow their own programs to carry some "Happy Death Day" advertisements. The entire entertainment industry is slowly changing. Such a massive publicity. It did attract a lot of passers-by. However, not everyone came here because of the advertisement. Standing outside the cinema, looking at the row of tall billboards of Sakura Girls ChamJam's idols, Cang Yuanming was deeply moved. It is hard to imagine that this girl group, which was rescued from underground idols by the Sakura Girls program crew, can actually appear in a movie theater. Even if there is only a one-minute feature film and a one-minute easter egg. But this is also quite exaggerated. In fact, when the Sakura Girls Project used the supporting actors of the movie "Happy Death Day" as project rewards, many idol otakus, including Kuramoto Akira, actually thought that this issue must be a script. So when ChamJam won the first place through hard work. The idol geeks watching TV were all going crazy. Because among the entire Sakura Girls, although ChamJam cannot be said to be at the bottom, it does not have a very strong presence either. In terms of idol professionalism, they are not as good as the girls from AKB, Nogizaka, etc. In terms of distinctive personality, they are not as good as the girl groups that came out of the campus idol competition. It’s just that throughout the entire show, the girls from ChamJam have worked really hard and have good looks, so they are quite popular among the public and their fan base is growing. However, under normal circumstances, movie-level resources like "Happy Death Day" would not be given to ChamJam. This is also the reason why idol fans are collectively going crazy. After all this time, Sakura Girls actually has no script! ? Do you play it so realistically? Then, some bored idol fans started downloading that episode and analyzing it frame by frame, trying to see if there was a script for it. However, when they searched around, they finally found out that whether it was from the blogs of various little idols or the subsequent interviews. Or maybe it's the various details in the show that show it.
There was no script, ChamJam really won first place by relying on its tenacious competitive spirit. Why do we say it depends on competitive spirit? Because at the end of that episode, ChamJam was the fifth team to reach the final level. But ChamJam was extremely serious when practicing dancing, and they had no fear of the rotating stage at all, they just practiced as they should. At this time, the mentality they developed during their time as underground idols came into play.
