Extra Story: Chapter 058 The Village Girl and the Eldest Miss
AKB's later decline also proved to some extent that Akimoto Yasushi's approach was destined to be abandoned without innovative changes.
Twiiziu, and IZ*ONE, a combination of Japanese and Korean training modes, can become popular.
In fact, it also shows that RB people are not in trouble, they depend on how to operate.
“Thank you very much for your trust.”
No matter what aspect, this is something that cannot be compared with the AKB48 that cost 5 billion yen during the preparation process.
According to Lee Hyun-chul's previous description, this is a combination that is directly used as a formula opponent for AKB48.
Moreover, the selection rules of members are somewhat similar to the selection model of AKB, but the focus is different.
AKB operated by Akimoto Yasumi has always believed in the "raw stone" selection criteria.
Those who are not good-looking or have no talent for singing and dancing will instead be considered.
For this reason, it has been criticized by AKB members for their appearance in the daily circles of neighboring China for their appearance.
Putting aside the early AKB members, the later one who was praised by Akimoto Yasuhiro was a "first-year stone" Matsui Jorina was frequently mocked for her "aunt face" in terms of appearance.
But Akimoto Yasumi really likes this.
During the seven selection activities held by AKB over the years, countless girls who were "beautiful", "sing well" and "dance well" were shot down.
In the eyes of many people, it is not necessary for Akimoto Yasushi to give up so many excellent seedlings to choose those ugly ducklings.
But this kind of training from zero to one is precisely the secret of the success of the girl group created by Yasuhiro Akimoto.
Therefore, AKB has been working hard to overcome all the difficulties with his never retreat. Since AKB became famous, more and more underground idols in the Akihabara area have been born.
Many members have their own appearance and their singing and dancing skills are even better than those of AKB members.
However, due to the lack of the public relations capabilities of the company behind it, and no one who can have a super assembly line-like lyricist writing ability, creative ideas, and black and white. Five major TV stations and major firms have their own connections.
This is also the real reason why Tokyo's underground idols are as numerous as a cow, but only AKB is the only one who became popular.
In this situation where AKB is dominant, someone is destined to be unable to sit idly by.
So, Lee Hyun-cheol instantly proposed the so-called "Nogizaka 46" plan, which not only attracted the giants who wanted to get a share of the pie and were jealous of the profits created by AKB48.
It has introduced a new trend to the idol world, and can also beautify the development of AKB, even if it curbs the "arrogance" that has appeared in some people at this time...
"The people selected by Akimoto Yasuhiro, outside and inside AKS, are collectively called raw stones, referring to semi-finished products that have not been forged and tempered yet.
With the company of fans, under the operation of the firm and the efforts of their own, these people have transformed, polished, evolved and become real stars bit by bit. And the people selected by Nogizaka Project are the real finished products."
Lee Hyun-chul picked up two pieces of beef and put them on a plate. One was a complete slice of raw meat.
The other part is ripe with a bright color and fragrant smell.
"In the early days of AKB's debut, due to various budget issues, most of the members were from ordinary people and had no foundation in singing and dancing.
Even people are out of tune, even the simple movements of radio gymnastics are a little stiff.
The clothing style is even more messy curtains and tablecloths pieced together.
People who are not interested in AKB have always called their clothing and styling "Mura Girls", and our Nogizaka plan will be at a level completely distance from AKB from the beginning."
Speaking of this, Li Xianzhe moved forward slightly, staring at Yoko Sato's face and said.
“AKB relies on performances in underground theaters and handshakes to show an approachable style of ‘Idols that can be met’ to the outside world.
Yasuhiro Akimoto told many people outside that if you want to meet your favorite idol, you only need to spend some money.
In this case, before the birth of the Kitten Club, the era in which people like Nakamori Akina, Matsuda Seiko, and even Yamaguchi Moe were all completely impossible."
However, Nogizaka 46's style route was destined to go completely differently from AKB48 from the beginning.
AKB48 is approachable and can meet with you with some money. This has become a stereotyped rule in today's RB idol market and even the Korean idol circle, and you cannot destroy it yourself.
The mystical line cannot be said to be not popular in today's society, but it must be combined with various conditions and factors.
Therefore, spending money can meet is actually related to the income of idols.
Don’t you see Japanese idol groups? Depending on the popularity of members and the corresponding operating resources, the first thing you need to do is to see the sales volume of members’ writing, sales or the results of the handshake meeting. After all, a handshake voucher is not cheap.
A handshake ticket can only communicate face to face with your idol for ten seconds. Not to mention those fans who value this opportunity very much, so they came to the scene, just because they are generally interested in seeing beautiful women, ten seconds is too short.
This has caused many people to buy albums crazily, and there are many people who go to the scene with dozens or even hundreds of handshake vouchers.
"Handshaking will be something that has become completely popular in the RB idol circle, and it cannot be abandoned no matter what.
Without a handshake meeting, what else can idols rely on to make money? Commercial performances? Concerts?
It’s okay if you get twice, but if you have too many times, your idols will not be able to withstand it, and fans will also feel aesthetic fatigue.
But Nogizaka is a combination that borrowed Sony's brand. If AKB is compared to the daughters of ordinary families, then they are noble ladies from the middle class or above."
"So what you mean, when selecting the site, we should raise the standards for selecting people?"
Yoko Sato frowned, but at this moment she understood when she saw a strange light flashing in Lee Hyun-cheol's eyes.
It is enough to have an AKB48 in the entertainment industry. It is completely copied from the previous model and then created one. It just changed its name, but it is essentially still an AKB48 girl group, so there is no need.
In recent years, AKB's structure has been completely replicated and operated, and the underground idol groups launched are really as numerous as rice balls placed on the RB people's dining table, but none of them succeeded.
The reason is the freshness. The AKB headquarters and the sister groups that were launched later on with local activities have expanded the territory from the original Tokyo to the surrounding area.
In this case, people only identify AKB groups, but those combinations that imitate and copy their models will be considered defective products that are "unkind" and "counterfeit".
Moreover, most of the firms are purely ambitious, and do not have the huge investment and overwhelming publicity and TV network connections that Akimoto Yasuke spent in building AKB.
