Chapter 1319: They are engaging in unfair competition!!
The second season of "Voice of Neon", as the most popular music program at the end of Showa 62, its popularity instantly exceeded many year-end plans of various television stations.
Including "Night Hit Year-End Special Edition", "Talent Show", "Kanji of the Year", "FNS Music Festival", etc., actually none of them attracted the audience as much as a group of amateur singers...
Every contestant selected by the mentors has their own unique voice and personality. Every time a mentor turns around, it causes bursts of exclamation, and the scheming between mentors is full of freshness!
"The champion of the last session was my team member. I have the most experience in how to win the championship in 'Voice of Neon'!"
Miyuki Nakajima tempted the contestants full of confidence!
"That's because I wasn't there last session!" Yumi Matsutoya retorted unceremoniously, "Come to my team, let's work together and create history!"
"Like rock? Then choose me, I'll teach you!"
Yosui Inoue, wearing sunglasses, said cool words to compete for contestants, making people feel the clumsy sincerity of the godfather of rock.
"Still come to my team!"
Koji Tamaki said,
"Safety Zone gives you a sense of security!"
"......."
One by one, the shots that were both meme-worthy and famous scenes made the watching audience laugh like pigs... The stickiness of the program also rose steadily.
Among them, a contestant, No. 7 Maki Ohguro, received a lot of attention due to her thick voice and fearless personality.
The four mentors turned around for her together, but in the end, she chose Miyuki Nakajima.
"I want to win the championship with the mentor!"
Such a statement should have made conservative Neon people feel rude and unhumble, but with the development of the economy in recent years, the mentality of Neon people has changed greatly. This kind of confidence and ambition was actually recognized by the mainstream~
"Sure enough, a vibrant little girl!" "Very confident!" "Amazing amazing..."
For Maki Ohguro, the audience was mostly supportive!
Everyone was looking forward to the power she could show in the subsequent team competition!
After Miyuki Nakajima took Maki Ohguro into her team, she started private guidance.
"Maki Ohguro, your voice is high and thick... and your singing skills are also very good, very suitable for singing songs with momentum..."
As a creative musician, Miyuki Nakajima has written songs for many singers and has a lot of experience in how to adapt to the characteristics of a singer's voice,
"So in the next program, I will choose the song that best suits your voice, and then let you go first... directly use the strongest singing skills to suppress all competitors!"
Maki Ohguro nodded. As a newcomer to the music scene, she naturally admired Miyuki Nakajima very much:
"Then mentor... which song should I choose?"
"Uh... let's choose 'Hajimemashite (Nice to meet you)'!"
This "Hajimemashite (Nice to meet you)" is a song from Miyuki Nakajima's album the year before last. It is a song that incorporates rock elements and is very suitable for fast-paced singing.
And this song is also very suitable as an opening song!
Maki Ohguro naturally heard this song too. She pondered for a while and nodded:
"Okay! Then let me, as a member of Mentor Nakajima's team, meet the audience for the first time!!"
The liveliness on the TV screen did not cover up the turmoil in the entertainment industry itself. Since the new rules of the Record Awards appeared, all the competitors started to move!
First of all, naturally, it was Johnny's Agency. Their boy bands really started to shout in unison:
"Please support our junior 'Hikaru GENJI'! This is supporting us!"
Just like that, a large number of boy band fans started to turn their support to the newly debuted Hikaru GENJI group, making the popularity of Hikaru GENJI, which was already famous, continue to rise!
And other powerful candidates naturally would not fall behind. Seiko Matsuda immediately started an offline fan meeting, asking fans to support "Strawberry Time", and also mobilized her husband Masaki Kanda to help shout.
Other agencies also started to show their magical powers... Handshake tickets, signed photos, peripherals started to be distributed as if they were free, and various announcements did not forget to sell misery... The purpose is only one: support me, then come and vote!
Burning was no exception. Nakamori Akina's fan club mobilized quickly to win the triple crown for their idol. Even Yukiko Okada actually asked her fans to help support her good sister Nakamori Akina at this time...
After all, Akina really saved her life, and only then did Yukiko Okada have her current situation~
Tree Friend's artists were relatively stable. It's not that Shizuka Kudo and others didn't want to fight; they also had many fans!
But after Masami Inada informed them that Naoki Nagayama supported his wife Nakamori Akina... one by one, they all calmed down!
The emperor on their side has surrendered, how can the subjects fight?!
Yes, how could they compete with the boss's wife?!
However, whether there was any secret resentment, cursing black curtain, beauty trap, black-hearted capitalist, or turning their elbows outward... who knows...
At the same time, in the suburban counties and villages of the Shikoku region, some strangers appeared at some point!
They set up a stall in the market where people gathered and started to promote:
"Come come come... vote and get a good gift!!!!"
"Support Hikaru GENJI, take the proof of voting, and you can exchange it for five eggs!!"
"......."
Tadao Murayama is already an old man with gray hair. He has farmed for most of his life but hasn't saved much pension.
Usually, he has to wait ten days or half a month to eat meat... And now, as long as he votes to support that Hikaru GENJI, he can get five eggs for free?!
Then if he calls the old woman to come and get it, wouldn't he be able to get ten?
In a short time, there were quite a few people around the small stall. He hurriedly leaned over and asked:
"Do you really give eggs? Are your eggs enough?!"
Tadashi Sakai, a staff member of the event company, was full of smiles:
"Of course, as long as you vote, we give!"
"As for eggs..." He pointed to several boxes of eggs under the stall and said, "Definitely enough!!"
So Tadao Murayama hurriedly took the ballot, filled in his information, and cast a vote for Hikaru GENJI! Then he successfully received five fresh eggs from Tadashi Sakai!
Tadashi Sakai also patted the poster:
"There are still many eggs, if not enough, there are more on our truck!! As long as you vote for Hikaru GENJI, you can collect them!"
Seeing this scene, Tadao Murayama immediately walked towards his home. Besides his own old woman, he had to call all the old people in the village to come and vote!
Today, they are going to wrap up the eggs at this small stall!
As for what Hikaru GENJI is, Tadao Murayama doesn't know and doesn't care. Looking at the poster, it seems to be a group of children who haven't grown up yet... But voting for them can exchange for eggs!!
This is the most important thing!
At this time, Tadashi Sakai put the ballots he got from the committee into the ballot box with satisfaction... He had already gotten hundreds of votes in these two days!
Actually, if it weren't for the rules of the Record Awards Committee saying that there would be third-party ballot checking and spot checks, he would have arranged for people to fill it up himself!
Wouldn't it be fragrant to embezzle the funds himself?! And he had to give them all to these old men and women...
And at this time, he didn't notice that at some point, a van also slowly drove to this market, and then in just a few minutes, it set up a small stall not far away...
It's just that what was hung on the stall was Nakamori Akina's poster!!!
"Come and see, come and see... vote for Nakamori Akina, and get eggs!!!"
"Cast one vote, get ten eggs!!!"
This stall was still using a megaphone to shout!! It instantly attracted everyone who was originally around Hikaru GENJI!!
Tadashi Sakai listened to the big megaphone over there saying things like "one identity can only vote once" "if you vote for Nakamori Akina, you can't vote for others", and his face was full of confusion!
"This... this can also come to grab business?!!"
"Nakamori Akina's agency actually started to be as unscrupulous as Johnny's?!"
"And it's ten eggs! Double ours!!!"
"This is clearly unfair competition!"
"......."
After his thoughts were chaotic for a while, Tadashi Sakai finally came back to his senses and hurriedly called his superior Kiyoshi Yoshikawa.
"Yoshikawa-san, it's not good... someone came to grab business!!"
"Nakamori Akina also started giving eggs!!"
Kiyoshi Yoshikawa, who was originally planning and plotting in the city center, was confused at first, and then reacted under the explanation of his subordinates. It turned out that Burning had also adopted the means of throwing money to buy votes!
As subordinates in other blocks also started reporting that there were competitors, and used double the money to grab business, Kiyoshi Yoshikawa raised his eyebrows:
"Oh ho ho... now, there's a good show to watch!"
He immediately dialed the phone of Johnny's contact person, and then the news was reported all the way to Mary Kitagawa...
"What? Nakamori Akina?"
Mary Kitagawa was a bit surprised,
"Burning actually wants to fight with us?!"
"Can't they tell the difference between big and small kings?!"
You know, Johnny's market value is two or three times larger than Burning's... and the money earned in these years is much more!
"Use money to compete with us?! Unless her husband Naoki Nagayama comes!"
In Mary Kitagawa's thinking, no matter how rich he is, Naoki Nagayama is impossible to spend money for Nakamori Akina... because even if Nakamori Akina wins the Grand Prize this time, the beneficiary is Burning!!
According to what she knows, Tree Friend doesn't have Burning's shares. Besides, Tree Friend also has many artists under its banner!!
Mary Kitagawa has seen so many couples in the entertainment industry. She has never believed that there will be a husband who will damage his own interests and spend so much money for his wife unconditionally... This is not a sucker!
In a place like the entertainment industry, there is no true love!
"Then continue!"
Mary Kitagawa said to Kiyoshi Yoshikawa of the event company,
"See how much money the other side can burn!"
Thus, the money-burning war between Johnny's and Burning started suddenly... just like the three-group war in the takeout industry, they started to frantically throw money to subsidize!
The event teams of the two companies started to compete in every county. As long as there is a Johnny's stall, there must be a stall supporting Nakamori Akina within fifty meters!
And, the price will be double!
Near dusk, Tadao Murayama brought his old companion and other old people in the village over... In the market, he saw this scene of two stalls competing...
They watched in a daze for a while, and then asked someone to clarify the situation, only to understand... It turns out that if you support Nakamori Akina, you can get ten eggs!!
Everyone immediately beamed with joy and went to the stall on Nakamori Akina's side to line up!!
Tadao Murayama's face was not good at this time, especially after his old companion brought back ten eggs... He felt that he was too hasty before!
So he walked to Tadashi Sakai's empty stall:
"Can you return the vote to me?!"
"?" Tadashi Sakai was speechless, "You have already voted, and you have taken the eggs!"
"But... you are half less than that side!"
Tadao Murayama said angrily,
"I don't care, you have to give me five more eggs, otherwise return the vote to me!!"
Looking at the old man's stubborn expression, Tadashi Sakai felt for the first time what it meant to be helpless... In the end, he made up the old man's five eggs himself...
And as the protagonist Nakamori Akina, at this time, she accompanied her husband to Jurassic Island.
The annual meeting will be held tomorrow, and she doesn't want to fly over on the day... And tomorrow Naoki Nagayama's private plane will carry Tree Friend's high-level executives over, and other invited staff will naturally take the Shinkansen or take a boat directly~
So she booked a room in the resort hotel one day in advance, ready to rest here!
Little Xia Hua and Eitaro naturally followed. She still has memories of this familiar place. She remembers that she was here when she had her birthday, and she had a great time~
So since arriving, the person and the dog ran around inside and outside the hotel, excited and couldn't stop~
"Mom..."
Little Xia Hua, wearing a plush coat, held up the shell she found on the beach to show Akina,
"Shell..."
"Ah... Hua-chan found a treasure!"
Akina smiled and praised the little one,
"Very amazing~"
Eitaro also shook his head and spat out a conch beside him, but it was exchanged for the hostess's ear-twisting:
"Eitaro, this is the hotel's decoration, hurry up and send it back!"
Watching the little one run towards the courtyard again, a smile appeared on her face.
By dusk, after the crew got off work, the resort hotel started to become lively. Yuko Tianzhong, Harrison Ford, and other leads all returned to the hotel to rest.
Other members mostly stayed in the dormitories directly in the port town. The resort hotel is very expensive!
"Akina-chan!"
Yuko Tianzhong naturally knew Nakamori Akina. She was also very surprised to see little Xia Hua,
"Hua-chan has grown up so much~~"
"Yes, children grow very fast..." Akina said to little Xia Hua, "Hua-chan, come and call Auntie Yuko~~"
Seeing the kind-looking adult, the little one shouted sweetly:
"Auntie~"
"Wow~~ So cute~~"
At this time, Yuko Tianzhong's idea of wanting to have a child of her own couldn't be suppressed!
After teasing little Xia Hua for a while, Yuko Tianzhong asked:
"Akina-chan is here to attend the annual meeting, right?"
"Hmm... don't want to be too rushed tomorrow..."
Akina explained,
"Anyway, the hotel environment here is also very good..."
"Yes, this resort hotel is indeed very good..."
"By the way, Yuko-san, has your Kenji Sawada come over?"
"He won't be here until the evening..."
"Haha, the crew is off tomorrow, you can have a good reunion~"
"Have to rehearse the program..."
"......."
The conversation between the two ladies naturally couldn't leave their respective men. Akina chatted with Yuko Tianzhong while taking care of her daughter.
And Naoki Nagayama, at this time, was communicating with Masataka Komori about work.
"The annual meeting is off tomorrow... After it ends, some materials will be taken back to Tree Friend on the way!"
"The computer room over there has been debugged, and we are going to start some editing work, so that the production of special effects shots can also start!"
"Hai, I know!"
Masataka Komori nodded repeatedly,
"I will personally look after the materials!"
"Hmm... in another two weeks, our live-action shooting will almost come to an end..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the huge Jurassic Island and sighed,
"Thinking that I'm about to leave Jurassic Island, I'm actually a bit reluctant..."
"Haha, after all, this island has Naoki-san's hard work!"
"Also..." ===== CHAPTER 1320 =====
