Firstly, the transportation is convenient, and secondly, it is relatively small compared to big venues like Dongdan and National University. The martial arts hall is more profitable, has better audio-visual effects, and is more comfortable. For example, the rent of Tokyo Dome is 7-10 times more expensive than that of Budokan, but the number of seats is only about 3 times more. Adding in the costs of preparation, logistics, and setting up the stage, one show at Dongdan is enough to hold ten shows at a martial arts hall. The profit gained from ten times the cost is at most three times that of the martial arts hall. Therefore, the martial arts hall is still very popular. There are many concerts and performances at the Budokan every year. But the press conference was held at the Budokan. It's really the first time. ~~~
Many people think that the Budokan used a venue that can accommodate 1 spectators to hold a press conference, which is a bit of a waste of resources. But, on the other hand, the gimmick is indeed big enough. Look, even the entertainment reporter from Asahi Shimbun, Hironaka Ayaka, came to the Budokan early. As soon as she entered the venue, Hironaka Ayaka felt that everything was new and novel. Even though she was well-informed, it was her first time to attend a press conference in such a place. From entering the venue to sitting down, it felt like attending a concert rather than a press conference. By the time Hironaka Ayaka arrived, people from several other major newspapers had almost all arrived, and she saw many familiar faces. Hironaka Ayaka is a well-known beauty in the small circle of Tokyo reporters, so the reporters around her are willing to chat with her more. "Ayaka, who brought you here?" Ota Kimika of Tokyo Metropolitan News also experienced such a scene for the first time and was also very excited. Although the two are not from the same newspaper, they often interview together and are quite familiar with each other. "The editor-in-chief asked me to come over for a walk-through." Ayaka Hiroka speaks her mind. Since Yuzan Meito is responsible for the advertising allocation of the entire TV station, and the owners of major TV stations in Japan are major newspapers, Yuzan Meito naturally has some influence on the major newspapers. This influence is not very strong. There is no way to interfere with what the newspaper reports, but when it comes to entertainment news, it is easy to make an impact on the length of the article by adding or subtracting a sentence. In the circle of Tokyo journalists, the battle for succession at Dentsu was no secret, and gossip spread quickly within the circle. Hearing what Hironaka Ayaka said, Ota Kimiga of Tokyo City News couldn't help laughing. The Tokyo Metropolis Daily is a purely commercial newspaper and does not own a television station, so it has no position on the Dentsu succession issue. "Don't say it out loud to their faces. If someone in the company hears it, they might remember you."
"Yes, Ota-kun is very thoughtful." Hironaka Ayaka did not refute. When Oota Junhe met a beautiful woman, he looked around. He didn't care much about today's press conference anyway, so he just started chatting about gossip. "Did you know that this press conference was organized by Ping Qing Yinan's son?" "I know." Hironaka Ayaka nodded. How could someone working in entertainment news not know the name of Hira Kiyoshige? "Battle Royale broke the 10 billion box office a while ago, but what does this have to do with today's press conference? Isn't this press conference related to idols?" Oota Kimika shook his head and said in a show-off manner: "Ayaka, your understanding is too superficial. This eldest son of the Heisei family is not just about making a hit movie. Tokyo TV is now following his lead. Not only that, he is also the one behind today's press conference." As he spoke, he pointed to the invitation letter in his hand, which, in addition to the name of the press conference, also contained a long list of names of companies participating in the project. Scene 115 Sakura Girl Oota Junhe pointed to the media invitation letter in his hand. At the bottom of the invitation letter is a row of company logos and names. Dentsu, Sony, AKS, Yoshimoto, UFA, TV Tokyo, Hirakiyoshi Studio... "Although the Pingqingshan Studio is placed at the end, I heard from insiders that the entire project was promoted by the eldest son of the Pingqing family. It is said that the overall cost of promoting this project is 10 billion yuan." Hironaka Ayaka asked in surprise: "One billion? Isn't this the same as Johnny's? Is Dentsu that rich? Is this true?" Just when the two were about to chat, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the martial arts hall, and then young people began to pour into the aisle. These people were wearing scarves of various colors and holding various light signs in their hands. Some of them were holding banners. Hironaka Ayaka and Oota Kimika turned around at the same time, not understanding what was going on. While I was still confused, the host on the main stage picked up the microphone to remind everyone to follow the order: "Dear fans participating in the event, please take your seats according to the tickets you received when you entered the venue." "Please pay attention to the safety of the venue and do not run. Thank you for your cooperation." Now not only these two people were confused, but also the media reporters were a little bewildered. Normally, press conferences don't usually invite audiences. Considering that this is a press conference held in the Budokan, it is normal to have spectators in such a large venue. But there are too many viewers! Looking back, I saw people coming one after another. Ping Qingshan held today's press conference because he has become accustomed to the press conference culture brought about by the Chinese mobile phone industry. Japan at this time had not experienced this kind of large-scale press conference routine, so these reporters were obviously a little confused when looking at the audiences who came one after another. However, the reporters were still quite professional. There was not much commotion. They just kept raising their cameras to take pictures of the scene. The seats in the martial arts hall are divided into inside and outside. As for the second floor, it was not used for this press conference. The reporters sat in the front row of the inner circle, and as the audience poured in, they filled the outer circle area.
The originally empty venue quickly became filled and noisy in an instant. "Datian, what's going on?" asked another person from the newspaper office next to Datian Junhe. "Maybe they are here for the idols. Didn't they say that people from AKB, Nogizaka, and SKE will be on stage at this press conference? It seems like there's some kind of 101 plan..." Oota Kimika was also a little unsure, after all, no one had ever seen this kind of press conference. Then the host on the stage spoke again: "Dear guests, media friends, fans at the scene, and friends in the NCNC website live broadcast room, good afternoon everyone." Hearing the host's voice, the media representatives in the audience looked at each other. There is even a live webcast! ? "Today is the launch ceremony of the Sakura Girls 101 Project, and also the launch ceremony of the Campus Idol Contest." "Well, I also know what the fans want to see. Now, let's all cheer... Please!!" After the host said the word "please". The speakers at the scene then rang out with the voice that all AKB fans are so familiar with. "A!!K!!B!!~~~48" However, this time, the voice did not stop after shouting AKB, but continued to shout SKE48, NMB48, Nogizaka46, and even Morning Musume. As the DJ on the stage shouted, the audience below also cheered. Then, the lights on the big stage of the martial arts hall dimmed. With the sound of lively music, the lights flashed and at least a hundred beautiful girls wearing the same pink JK uniform ran out. Amidst huge cheers, he ran to his position. "1,2,3 Leap High" "When the world is about to fly, it will come out." "Dream la-lil-la la la" "歌ってla-lil-la la la" As the Japanese theme song of the previous life of Produce 101 sounded, the media in the audience became even more confused. What's going on? Shouldn't it be Ping Qingshan or someone else who should speak up at this time? Hironaka Ayaka and Oota Kimika were even more speechless. They had attended so many press conferences, but this was the first time they had encountered such a thing. Is this a press conference or a concert? In fact, someone raised the same question when designing the press conference. But under the pressure from Ping Qingshan, the press conference was finally held. After all, for Ping Qingshan, media publicity is only one aspect. Want to gain a foothold in the idol circle.
What’s more important is to capture the fans who truly love the idol. After all, no matter how many media reports it contains, ordinary people will not spend a penny. If you want to get gold coins, the first thing you need to do is to find the right person. of course. Ping Qingshan doesn't need to explain too much about these things to others. Anyway, his words will still be useful before the next failure occurs. Ping Qingshan was in the backstage, looking at the fans who had already started to cheer skillfully, and he was very satisfied. As long as the fans of each group support it. This activity of mine is half successful. “Nakamura, are there any problems with the process?” "Everything is fine, no problem." Nakamura Sake replied. Ping Qingshan nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, you watch over here, and I'll look at the lyrics. I'm going to go on stage suddenly, and I'm a little nervous." Ping Qingshan took out his cards and did not hide his nervousness. In his previous life, he had seen countless times AKB make surprise announcements after concerts. But usually, when he sees these sudden announcements in China, the content of the announcements is actually no longer sudden, and he just watches them for fun. I just felt that it was interesting to see the expressions of the girls who were shocked by the sudden announcement. But this time it’s my turn to publish, and the pressure is quite high. Ping Qingshan took a few deep breaths. What he was going to announce today was much more exciting than a sudden announcement. He wants to make two things clear on the stage today. One thing is the "Sakura Girls 101" project. This Sakura Girls 101 is a large-scale idol alliance project different from Johnny's. Although the name is plagiarized from the previous life "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS", in China, it is "Produce 101" But at their core, the two are completely different. If you want to explain it clearly, you have to sort out the logic. The college idol competition is simple. It is the same logic as LOVELIVE in the previous life, except that after the results of the competition are announced, the idol team will not be disbanded. Instead, they all signed with the agency established by Ping Qingshan himself and continued their activities. Chapter 116 Alliance With another round of cheers from the stage outside, the second song performed by the girls soon ended. Ping Qingshan calmed himself down, put away his card, and walked quickly to the front desk.
Because there are too many girls on the stage, and Ping Qingshan has a lot of content to explain. Although it is regrettable, it is impossible to make any sudden announcement in this situation, so the only option is to let the girls leave the stage first. A group of girls rushed downstairs in a hurry. When they saw Ping Qingshan standing at the entrance of the passage, girls from different groups had completely different reactions.
