"How about I help you teach in the university class? All it takes is a kiss." Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes at him. After the New Year, she felt that her predecessors were becoming more and more greasy. She was too lazy to care about him. She lowered her head, turned another page of the speech, and continued writing. Ping Qingshan smiled slightly. Although it was just an interaction, he felt happy both physically and mentally. He poured himself a cup of tea, picked up a document and began to look through it carefully. This document is a report written by an employee, describing the situation of the first stage of Sakura Girls and the progress of the College Idol Contest. After the press conference, Sakura Girls is still in the preparation stage. The operation of each idol group also requires the selection of personnel. After all, Sakura Girls only gives 9 places to each group. Idol groups like Momokusa and Morning Musume, which don’t have too many members, are easier to choose. However, AKB, Nogizaka, SKE, and HKT, which was established in advance to participate in Sakura Girls, all require selection.
Each company's operations need to be balanced. In the end, should we let the big TOPs come up, or let the potential stocks go. However, these things have nothing to do with Ping Qingshan for the time being. He is more concerned about the College Idol Contest now. There are a total of 5330 public high schools and approximately 2136 private high schools in Japan, and there are more than 400 high schools in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Although Ping Qingshan's plan is to hold an idol competition for all schools in Japan. But it was obvious that he couldn't really organize a competition for 7000 colleges and universities, and ordinary high schools didn't take this kind of idol competition seriously. If you want to organize an idol academy competition, you must cooperate with the school. Just like Japan's Koshien Baseball League, this idol competition will intrude on students' daily studies. If the school does not agree, students will not have enough time to participate in the competition. Therefore, at the beginning, Hira Kiyoshige's goal was not to get all high schools in Japan to participate in this program. After all, the Idol League is not Koshien. After abandoning most of the ordinary colleges and universities, art schools have become the natural allies of the idol alliance. For most art-oriented, or art-oriented high schools. The school idol competition is like honey. As long as it is placed in front of them, they will take the box without any excessive promotion. Therefore, the College Idol Contest was able to negotiate with the first batch of 300 colleges and universities and complete the initial publicity in just half a month. Even the method of selecting idols is ready-made. Japan's club competition culture is quite complete. There are more than a dozen national college competitions alone, among which football and baseball have already achieved semi-commercialization. Baseball can even be said to have become the secondary league of Japanese professional baseball. Therefore, Ping Qingshan doesn't have to worry about anything in the first stage of the competition.
For this stage of the competition, he would only focus on whether the characters from the previous life animation would appear. After all, apart from being an idol, Ping Qingshan has a lot of other things to do. However, what this employee wrote was very detailed. In addition to reporting on progress, I also wrote a lot of content about the Sakura Girls Selection and college idols. The employee strongly agreed with Ping Qingshan's approach. It is believed that since Yasushi Akimoto can select a national idol group through this kind of audition method, the idols selected through school auditions have greater potential. Ping Qingshan read the report carefully and nodded from time to time. Chapter 121 Eripiyo Ping Qingshan strongly agreed with the employee's opinion. With so many art schools throughout Japan, it is actually a natural base for cultivating idols. The students are full of energy and enthusiasm, and also have great potential and plasticity. Of course, there is a reason why no one was involved in campus idols in previous lives. Reality is not anime after all. All activities must take into account the rate of return. The biggest problem with letting students become idols is instability. In a relatively traditional society like Japan, between studying and idol career, most people think that studies are more important. This means that after signing the contract, if the student wants to go back to continue his studies, the operation department must release him. In addition, compared to full-time idols, these student idols do not have as much time to carry out commercial activities, and their commercial value is definitely not as good as those girls who signed a contract to sell themselves to enter AKB. However, the reason why Ping Qingshan became a campus idol. It's actually very simple. Because he knows that there are great talents hidden in schools, he invests money in this activity. It is equivalent to spending money only when you know there is a 100% chance of SSR appearing. But others don't know this. Therefore, not many people are really optimistic about the plan promoted by Pingqingshan. Everyone is more optimistic about the Sakura Girls Project. The clerk's report was very much to his liking; he might be a talented person. Thinking of this, Ping Qingshan looked up at the time. At this time, the head of the Human Resources Department had not yet left work, and he looked through the names of the documents.
Picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Ping Qingshan, I need to transfer the resume of a person named Eripiao, um, Eripiao, no need for paper, just send the electronic file to my email." Five minutes later, he heard a prompt sound from the computer. A personnel file appeared in front of him. After seeing the file. Ping Qingshan suddenly realized that this Eripiyo seemed to be a character in the animation. "If my idol is recommended by God to attend Budokan, I will die without regrets" The original animation plot is relatively simple. It is an animation in which Eripiyo, as an idol otaku, witnesses the growth of a young idol. In this case, it doesn't seem surprising that she has such an understanding of her idol. After a while, he picked up the phone again and dialed the landline of the business department: "Hello, this is Pingqingshan, is Eri Piao from the business department here?" Eripiyo is currently working as a salesperson at Sakura Girls Project. That is the work of communicating with various schools. There was a noisy voice asking questions from the other end of the phone, which continuously transmitted his questions and then transmitted them back from afar: "Director Hirakiyosugi, Eripiyo has already left work." "Eripiyo went to see underground idols...left at 5:30 pm..." There was a hint of suppressed excitement in the voice on the other end of the phone. Going to see underground idols? Well, that should be the plot in the animation. If I think about it carefully, it seems that the idol group in the original animation is also quite good. Maybe in addition to the college idol plan, I can also sign some underground idols? "Um, Supervisor Hirakiyosugi?" Seeing that there was no sound on the phone, the voice on the other end of the phone asked again. It can be seen that there must be some conflicts between the opponent and Eripiyo, otherwise they would not have specifically emphasized the matter of leaving early. It is normal for colleagues to cover up together when facing their superiors. However, this person will definitely be disappointed today. "Okay, then let her come to see me tomorrow." What he heard was Ping Qingshan's light arrangement, which sounded like a notice. Is that it? Ping Qingshan hung up the phone and didn't take the matter to heart. Instead, I am considering it seriously. Should I sign with this underground idol group that appeared in the anime? What was that group called? I think it’s called Cham Jam? Japan's underground idol market is very chaotic, with no formal operations, little constraints on members, and a low bottom line.
So normally. No capital would go to these underground idols. Including AKB, Nogizaka and others, they will deliberately avoid these underground idols during the selection process. Because these idols often have a lot of dark history. Once you invest resources and then lose them because of past dark history, it would be a waste of time. But this kind of combination, which has been proven in the animation, can be inspected and, if there is no problem, recruited under your command. It seems to be a good supplement to your own strength. Although he is now in charge of the Sakura Girls project and controls huge amounts of resources. But none of his idols obeyed his orders. It's like an empire without its own central army. I originally planned to select a group of people from the college idols, but before that, it seems good to have someone who can fight immediately. "Shan?" When Ping Qingshan was considering carefully, a gentle voice came to his ears. "What's wrong?" He came back to his senses. "What were you thinking about just now?" Sakurajima Mai looked at Ping Qingshan's face changing constantly and guessed that he was thinking about something. So I was quite curious. "I just heard the term 'underground idol' and I'm thinking about whether I should buy one or two underground idol groups as immediate combat forces and add them to my agency." "Well, it sounds interesting." Sakurajima Mai said with a smile, "But, you don't plan this for other purposes, do you?" Mai Sakurajima obviously meant something else. "I swear to God, I don't have that idea." Ping Qingshan quickly shook his head. "By the way, what about you, Mai? Have you ever thought about joining an idol group?" Now it was Mai Sakurajima's turn to shake her head. "I prefer to be an actor and express my emotions and thoughts through my roles." In fact, Hira Kiyoshige also feels that Sakurajima Mai is not very suitable to be an idol. After all, for today's idols, flattering otakus is the most basic skill. He wasn't used to his woman smiling at other men at handshake parties. However, if they were not his women, he would like these idols very much, with whom he could shake hands and meet. After all, this is the selling point of modern idols. You can shake hands with cute girls by paying money, which is still very attractive. The reason why AKB became so popular is closely related to this handshake. Just think about it, let alone being an idol, if the school beauty in your school held a handshake event one day... The two chatted for a while.
Time passed quickly, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Ping Qingshan finished a few tasks and stretched himself: "That's about it for today!" "Can we go back now?" Sakurajima Mai put down her pen and stretched in a very formal manner. Her beautiful figure wrapped in the uniform had a special kind of temptation. "Well, I'll go outside and take a look, then I'll go back." Chapter 122: People from East Electric Power The Japanese workplace is strange.
