Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Then came the actual recording of the official invitation letter sent to the candidates. Surprised and tense scenes, including some scenes that may look sloppy in people's homes, were all recorded.

An opportunity that may change the destiny of life, these people seized the reaction and presented it on the TV screen.

The last one to appear was Shunji Iwasaki, but he was the only one who was officially in front of the camera and accepted the interview with nervousness.

"Iwai-kun, you are the only candidate who was directly selected by the show, how do you feel when facing other candidates?"

"How should I put it...it's like a dream. The pressure is really very, very high..." Shunji Iwai's scalp was numb after hearing Akimoto Yasushi's arrangement, and he said after he was personally recommended by Tao Zhiming, "All in all, I'm very sorry for the other candidates who didn't make it to the 10-man list. Although it wasn't my intention, I'm very sorry. Chairman Tao recommended me, so I can only do my best to prove my ability and live up to this expectation. For this reason, I already have the consciousness to gamble everything!"

This special arrangement led to a more complicated division of camps among the 10 candidates.A person who was recommended by one of the organizers at the beginning of the program planning was simply a 1V9 war.

If the person personally recommended by the famous President Tao doesn't get everyone's approval, it will not only lose his own face, but also make people doubt Tao Zhiming's vision.

What's more, the first episode of the show has already conveyed the style of the show and the authenticity of the follow-up competition to everyone with shooting techniques.

The selection is both fair and unfair, which makes it even more cruel.

In the second half of the show, the 10 candidates finally met in the TV station's conference room.

The 1V9 situation really came out. Although the atmosphere was very friendly, the atmosphere around Shunji Iwai was obviously a bit isolated.All kinds of gazes looking at him and his own micro-expressions were recorded.

People at Fuji TV now understand why Shunji Iwai resigned so simply, and got such an opportunity.

Although the current pressure is really scary, if it succeeds, it will really be a step up to the sky.

This pressure was also felt by other viewers.

Whether it was Shunji Iwai's original friends or some strangers in the audience, because of this special pressure, they involuntarily put their positions on Shunji Iwai's side.After all, right now, he seems to be the weakest and most difficult one, the one who has to do his best to prove himself.

"Then, it's up to everyone to draw lots now to decide the songs that will be completed in the first round of music video clips! "You Who Came From The Stars" has already completed the recording of 10 songs."

On one backboard, 10 pieces of paper with serial numbers covered the titles of 10 songs.

The host was still on fire, and after announcing the specific rules for the first round of selection, he said: "Because of Iwai-kun's special recommendation status, he does not need to participate in the lottery in the first round of selection. The editing will be done by Iwai-kun." , is the theme song of this TV series!"

The other nine people suddenly had various expressions, but they were more or less dissatisfied, and they all stared at Shunji Iwai.

"Iwai-kun, facing the entire audience, you have to answer a question."

Shunji Iwai stood up nervously: "Yes!"

"The theme song that will be edited by you in the music video, have you heard it beforehand?"

The camera shot directly at his face, Iwai Shunji gritted his teeth, and replied loudly: "Betting on the future of my entire life, and the kindness that President Tao recommended me, I swear: Up to this moment, I have not got it." Any other information about this song! Just know...the song is sung by Ms. Akina Nakamori."

The thunder in this answer is no less than his answer that he knew it in advance.

There are so many songs in a TV series, is every capital sung by Akina Nakamori?

With Akina Nakamori's reputation and her influence in the hearts of fans, doesn't Shunji Iwai have the upper hand?

The audience watching the show watched the various performances of the other 9 candidates just like watching a play.Their real identities were stated in the previous programs, they are not actors, but newcomers who really aspire to become directors.What they are doing now is real.

The host on TV said to them: "How many filmmakers in Neon are there who want to be successful? Answer me!"

No one answered this question.

"It's a gorgeous industry! Countless people have dreams of success! Is life fair? Does everyone get the same chance? Not so! Some people are lucky, some people get it in the first place Help! But, the unfairness of this selection ends here! No matter whether President Tao wants to sharpen Iwai-kun or not, even if you are a sharpening stone, are you willing to be willing to such a fate?"

The host tore off the piece of paper with the serial number 1, and read aloud: "The theme song sung by Ms. Akina Nakamori is called "Fate"! Now, Iwai-kun's fate is in your hands with him. Get up and decide! If you are not reconciled, beat him! If you want to prove yourself, beat them! A big production of 50 billion yen, a new star guide plan of 4 million yen! The platform for hard work has been built, and this program actually compensates you A fair share! Just show off your talents in this competition that will attract a lot of attention! Even if you fail halfway, you have already received more attention and opportunities than before, right?"

This argument makes sense, as expected, some of the 9 people were already agitated, full of enthusiasm and energy.

Then came the lottery, and the announcement of the other 9 songs one by one.

Akina Nakamori, Izumi Sakai, Asuka Nagumo, Sonoko Kawai, Shizuka Kudo, Otomisato, Takuya Kimura... Sure enough, they are the all-stars of Wander Star. In addition to Akina Nakamori, there is also the unknown Takuya Kimura.

It's no wonder, after all, it's a TV series they invested in.

What the audience is looking forward to more now is what are these songs like, and now they only know the title of the song.

The camera of the first episode finally focused on Shunji Iwai, who kept exhaling after leaving the conference room. This pressure can be said to be extremely real.

For this program, 10 people were pulled to the building of 'Comics Dimension' in Mogami Gokurakucho.

Among them, the free creation space of dimensional culture has already arranged an entire floor to be used as an editing place for the first round of selection. In the 10 creative apartments, there are exactly the same equipment.

There are also TVs and VCRs.On the table are the finished videotapes of "You Who Came From The Stars" piled high.

There is also a machine playing records next to it.

"Hurry up, everyone only has one week. To finish listening to that song, you have to watch the whole TV series as soon as possible." Although the camera was still on, Shunji Iwai could only rush over to sit on the chair with a wry smile, and then He said happily in bitterness, "But we are the first batch of people who can watch the entire TV series in advance, right? This is also quite lucky."

This statement resonates very well, it is true.

With so much publicity, Dongshi seems to have made this TV series the main feature in winter and even this year.For a while, envy +N.

In the camera, Shunji Iwai puts on his headphones, ready to play the theme song "Fate" that he needs to complete.

And then the screen went dark, and the narration and subtitles of the Secondary Two began.

[Known as the last show of the Showa era, it was filmed in the last years of the Showa era. 】

[The last generation of filmmakers who grew up in the Showa era competed in this way, trying to seize the rare opportunities of their lives. 】

[Now, the gears of fate have started to turn. 】

[Can he prove himself?Or be defeated by others? 】

[This "The Last Echo of the Showa Era", the first issue will end with this song "Fate". 】

【Stay tuned!Please take care of me!Next time, in the next few minutes, who can submit a moving work? 】

The melodious piano sounded, and the screen was always black, only the song title and subtitles, and a line of words: In the music video clip...

It can be said that the expectation was full.

However, the song sung by Akina Nakamori was broadcast publicly for the first time through East TV's TV signal.

"President! Ratings! Ratings! It's broken through 4%. If we can break through 5% or even higher, we can even reach the top 10 of variety shows of the year!"

Facing the program producer rushing in, the president of TV TOKYO could only look at Akimoto Yasushi with emotion and said, "As expected of President Tao's personal plan..."

Chapter 456: Kansai People Are Reckless

Such a variety show project is still rare at this time.

There are no cute and beautiful idol stars, and the main characters are all behind-the-scenes producers of movies that people usually don't pay much attention to, and all of them are newcomers.

But this program was launched at this point in time, and the two awards of 50 billion yen and 4 million yen are too in line with the dream-making myth of the bubble era.

What's more, the show itself is a ground-breaking new song release by making music videos for songs produced by popular stars and the well-known Wander Star.

And throughout, Yasuko Sawaguchi's highly anticipated drama of the year, and the next big-budget film.

However, Tao Zhiming pushed Iwai Shunji out, and created a dramatic conflict in the selection process itself for the entire program.

After the first episode of the program was broadcast, the theme song sung by Akina Nakamori began to spread through other channels to cooperate with the pre-heating promotion of the first stage of "My Love from the Star".

Not only are the expectations of TV dramas being raised, but the selection competition itself has also begun to attract a lot of attention.

It doesn't feel like a variety show anymore, because it's really about real-world business projects, not just entertainment.

Ordinary viewers, who would have imagined that there would be a bigger battlefield involved behind this movie, changing the fate of more people?

But the audience in Kyoto was the first to feel a different sense of participation.

TV Tokyo has formed a network with TV Osaka since 82.

Except for NHK's broadcast content, other private TV stations only cover a certain audience circle based on their own foundation.Kyoto happened to be in TV TOKYO's viewing circle at this time, and they discovered that the Kyoto Prefectural Government began to initiate a survey to the residents on a "Kyoto Film and Television Cultural Tourism Integration and Revitalization Strategy".

It is clearly mentioned that starting from "Memoirs of a Geisha", many film and television clubs such as Toho, Pantao Yinghua, and TV Tokyo will use the form of movies and TV dramas to shoot scenes in Kyoto to promote Kyoto to the world.

To match it, it is natural that the Kyoto Prefectural Government should provide some support for this strategy, including the creation of some urban node landscapes, the transformation of old blocks, and the shaping of urban atmosphere...

At present, it is still only in the consultation stage.Although the Kyoto government focused on publicizing the many benefits brought about by this incident, naturally some "visionary" folks saw some tricks.

For example, it is obviously impossible for film and television shooting to shoot all ancient themes.Among them, it includes a plan to build several modern high-end hotels to meet the tourist reception capacity. Isn't this a real estate development project?

Tao Zhiming acted as if he had nothing to do with how the local forces in Kyoto would solve these problems.

Anyway, he was only "invited" to come up with a first draft of the project, and he would be willing to shoot the films "Memoirs of a Geisha" in Kyoto under conditions.

If the big shots in Kyoto Prefecture and Kansai couldn't figure out the whole plan, he would of course use the past shooting method to solve it.

However, in order to show his support for this plan, he still gave a new "resource".

The autumn and winter of 89 Tokyo Fashion Festival can be held in Osaka.

At that time, people in Kansai will also be able to see some comprehensive benefits that this modern "cultural event brand" will bring.

Hankyu Electric Railway, which founded the Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe, naturally took over the co-organization of this event.

However, Kobayashi Naoki is not too happy, because the more important thing right now is whether the plan of Kyoto to develop tourism and revitalize the cultural economy by building a film and television photography base can be promoted.Also, can the Shijo-dori area be included in the first batch of remodeled blocks?As for the fact that the First Advising Bank has not agreed to the loan for the time being, it doesn't matter at all. There are too many financing channels now.

After some inquiries, I realized that the focus now is not at all what ordinary citizens think about this, but: for many big figures in Kansai, the core of their interests is concentrated in Osaka.On the Kyoto side alone, not only are there many restrictions, but the plan has been pushed forward, and the people who benefit more in the long run are the residents of Kyoto who live in cramped old residences in Kyoto.

Only clubs like Hankyu Electric Railway that have clear revenue expectations for subway station commercial complexes are looking forward to the plan to advance as soon as possible.

For a moment, Naoki Kobayashi didn't think about why only he benefited the most when this plan was first proposed by Tao Zhiming.He only thought that it was at the scene, only a few of them were there at the time, and Tao Zhiming naturally wouldn't think about what other people did.

But things seem to be different now.

In a private manor in the mountains, there are now many big figures from Kansai.

For this meeting, the types of dress were very rich for a while.There are monks and priests, as well as suits and kimonos.

Tao Zhiming and Yosuke Ueno looked at the picture together with smiles on their faces.

Yosuke Ueno couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It seems that my intuition is correct. When he first proposed this idea, that guy Oro must have thought that it would develop into this situation.

"Kyoto prefecture's financial resources are limited! Besides, although this matter is a public undertaking related to the long-term development of Kyoto, it is still a new attempt in business." Horikawa Nobuhiko looked at the crowd and said seriously, "Such a thing, the best It’s better to realize it through commercial methods!”

The people here are not just consortium forces, but also people from Kyoto Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture, and Kansai prefectures.

Tao Zhiming quietly watched Nobuhiko Horikawa operate.

Takagi Renpachi waved his hand, and a large map was taken out, unfolded by his subordinates, and hung on a screen with thumbtacks first.

Nobuhiko Horikawa looked at the others with sharp eyes: "Yasuda-kun, Yokoo-san, there are many shrines and temples in Kansai, if you want to provide ancient and traditional scenes, this kind of location is enough; however, modern shooting scenes are equally important From this point of view, Osaka cannot be left behind. The best way, of course, is to connect some important nodes and become an emerging industrial belt through roads and railways.”

His finger indicated on the map: "Starting from Osaka, go east to Nara via the Tozai Line, and then to Kyoto via the Nara Line; at the same time, the Kyoto Main Line is connected to the Biwako Line, which can also lead to Kobe."

Horikawa Nobuhiko drew a small circle on the map: "With Osaka as the center, Kobe is to the west, Nara is to the east, and extends from Kyoto to the south bank of Lake Biwa to the north. There are enough shrines, temples, and dwellings in such a large area." Then, between Osaka and Kyoto, Shimamoto Town, Kyoto’s Oyamazaki Town, and Yawata City, with the Yodogawa River as the core, a new film and television culture city will be built here!”

As his fingers pressed a little harder in that place, the others became thoughtful for a moment.

Tao Zhiming was also trying to figure out Horikawa Nobuhiko's intentions.

Obviously, one of the key points is Hachiman City in Kyoto Prefecture.The name Hachiman here is because the Ishikimizu Hachiman Palace here is one of the three major neon Hachiman, second only to the head office of Usa Shrine.Moreover, as the patron saint of Neon's "Genji Clan", it has been the guardian of Kyoto for thousands of years. In the whole Neon, it is second only to Ise Shrine, and it can be called the second ancestral temple in the country.

Others naturally know why Nobuhiko Horikawa chose this place, thinking that he is very keen to use this so-called film and television culture new city strategy to make the assets that have been invested in the area between Osaka and Kyoto more extensive. value-added space.

This is in everyone's interest.Limited by its terrain and history, Kyoto can only develop southward.The south of Osaka is the sea, and now it is also expanding to the north.

In this process, each company has indeed invested a lot of money in the area between Osaka and Kyoto.

But Nobuhiko Horikawa chose this place for the purpose... I am afraid it is the Tokaido Shinkansen?

Sure enough, I only heard Nobuhiko Horikawa say: "The Tokaido Shinkansen is the busiest high-speed train line in the entire Neon, and it is probably the same in the world. This line was divided into three national railway branches for joint operation the year before last. Tokyo The section to Atami is operated by National Railway East Neon; from Atami to Maibara, it is operated by National Railway Donghai; from Maibara to Kobe, it is operated by National Railway West Neon.”

"Everyone! If the plan is implemented in this way, there will be huge opportunities along the way from Shin-Osaka Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen to Yonebara on the east coast of Lake Biwa!" Horikawa Nobuhiko looked around and said, "For this plan, we first advise Yinhe and its professional housing financial associations to provide maximum support. The places we choose to focus on are not in the urban areas with the highest real estate prices. In addition, if it can improve the public's expectations for the entire Tokaido Shinkansen, the National Railway West Neon will be launched soon, which is also a huge piece of good news!"

Tao Zhiming understood.

A Shinkansen line is operated by each of the three branches of the National Railways, which are burdened with debts from the National Railways.In the meeting in Tokyo, Mitsui, Sumitomo and Daiichi Kanye secretly negotiated, of course, they should try their best to rely on the Tokaido Shinkansen to operate.

In this case, regardless of the long-term prospects, at least the news should be announced now. On the west side of the Tokaido Shinkansen, Kansai is a new film and television cultural city, and there is Kaguracho on the Tokyo side. This Shinkansen is at least attracting attention.As the common core asset of the three national railway branches, it can at least bring a wave of stock rise opportunities for the three national railway branches to be listed soon.

This is naturally a good opportunity to cut leeks!

In addition, the Kansai shrines and temples located on both sides of this Shinkansen, the industries they own, because they are directly related to tourism, have a wave of opportunities for direct appreciation.

Didn't all the monks and priests present couldn't help showing joy in their eyes?

How many shrines and temples are there in neon?Take convenience stores as an example.The three well-known neon convenience store brands, 7-11, Family Mart, Lawson, the total number of their convenience stores is not as many as temples, and even less than shrines.The total amount of shrines and temples combined may be three times greater than the sum of the three major convenience stores.In other words, it is more convenient for neon people to go to shrines or temples than to go to convenience stores!

Especially here is Kansai.

Nobuhiko Horikawa threw out this idea, and everyone discussed it later.

Naoki Kobayashi also loves this idea, because the Kyoto-Osaka main line under Hankyu Electric Railway, in this section itself, overlaps with the Tokaido Shinkansen.And as long as foreigners come to Kansai, the Hankyu Electric Railway, which has been cultivating here, is also a large-scale private railway that benefits the most as a whole.

The same is true for other parties. When Shin-Osaka Station was built, the surrounding area was still an idyllic countryside.However, as a new hub station, around Shin-Osaka Station, various parties have already invested a lot of money to develop some real estate projects.

Now if we take Shimamoto Town, Oyamazaki Town, and Yawata City at the junction of Osaka and Kyoto as the fulcrum, it can be said that the entire line from Kyoto to Shin-Osaka Station can be greatly revitalized, at least the flow of people between Osaka and Kyoto will be more frequent.
