My Entertainment Circle

In fact, Naituan's practice room often appears in their variety shows. Compared with the practice rooms of Korean agencies, their practice room is indeed inferior in professional equipment and other hardware facilities, but it is spacious enough. . Zhang Pingan followed Naituan's manager into the practice room. All of their attention was focused on Zhang Pingan, who was dressed very casually today.

Clover's winter bomber jacket is still worn with an Adidas sweatshirt and black clover sweatpants. The brand's 'three lines' are very eye-catching. On his head was a black baseball cap of Sika's personal brand, and a black celebrity mask. His exposed eyes were also covered by the brim of his hat, so when he entered the practice room, they all looked at Zhang Pingan with doubts.

There are only two people in Nodan who are very familiar with this person's figure and dress, Shiraishi Mai and Sayuri. Mai Shiraishi sleeps with Zhang Ping'an every day, so she is very familiar with what he wears in private. In addition to his height, figure, etc., it can be said that it is clear at a glance. There was also Sha Youli, who studied Zhang Pingan a lot, so the two of them widened their eyes when they saw Zhang Pingan come in.

Konno clapped his hands to get the children to focus, and then he introduced Zhang Pingan: "This...is from South Korea..."

Before Konno finished speaking, Zhang Pingan immediately corrected himself. He stopped and said, "I'm not from South Korea, I'm from China. I'm currently running my own entertainment business in South Korea. Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Pingan. ." As he spoke, Zhang Pingan took off his mask.

Zhang Pingan, they had met him when they were in Paris. The girls in Naituan all clapped their hands to express their welcome. In fact, not many people in the team knew about Mai Shiraishi and Zhang Pingan, there were only two, Hashimoto and Sayuri. The rest was unclear, so they clapped and welcomed.

Konno smiled and said to Zhang Pingan: "Do you think there is any difference between our group and Korean girl groups?"

"Korean girl groups or Japanese girl groups. From the perspective of fans, the two cannot be confused. Japan follows a cultivation system, while Korean girl groups focus on appearance and basic strength. But from the perspective of operators From a perspective, there is not much difference. Anyway, the artist industry is a product of popularity. As for how to gain popularity, that is something that requires their efforts and your company's system. They are already mature. If they continue step by step, I believe their future will be no worse than '48'..."

Zhang Ping'an continued: "And the fans in the market now, how can I say... there are too few fixed die-hard fans. Maybe while they like '48', they also like No Tuan. However, this is not a good thing for them. It doesn't matter, right? 48, after all, they are seniors, and their market opened up early, and Naitu is a different system, so I don't think it matters. Anyway, if you don't do theater, you can just focus on the domestic market. The market needs to be done, and overseas markets must also be paid attention to. If you are interested in it in the future, I can recommend going to China.

China has a population of 1.4 billion, and there may be more otaku fans than the entire population of Japan. Just like the live broadcast platform I am currently producing in China, it is specially created for otakus. "

For Zhang Pingan, he knows what will be profitable in the future industry. In particular, the entertainment industry will be on a steady rise in the next few years, although it cannot be compared with some technology industries. Coupled with China's vast market, it is a place that cannot be ignored in the entire world's entertainment industry. So Zhang Pingan also extended an olive branch to Konno and his Nogizaka at this time.

However, Konno is not as blind as the representatives of Korean brokerage companies. Of course, it’s also because the current Japanese market is enough for them, even if it slips through the net from ‘AKB’. Nogizaka has not yet established a very stable position in China, so he was not tempted by Zhang Ping'an's temptation in the overseas market. He smiled and said: "At present, in the overseas market, our Nogizaka group does not have the ability to compete with South Korea. The Korean entertainment industry is indeed doing better than Japan in some respects. AKB has not yet gone overseas. As a group, we still need to work hard.”

I have to say that Konno was very sober. He did not become blind after hearing the words "Chinese Market". Moreover, the idols of girl groups in Japan are a kind of nurturing system. Before the group members are fully mature, overseas, it is better to wait. This is the idea of ​​​​his general manager.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said: "Korean entertainment systemization is indeed very good, and its cultural influence overseas is also very great. Also because Japanese entertainment culture does not feel open to the outside world at all, it is difficult to learn to imitate Japanese entertainment. There is only the Taiwan Strait. Unfortunately, the Taiwan Strait market is too small, even smaller than that of Japan. Is this why it is difficult to be promoted by that small area in China? In fact, entertainment is constantly updated. For example, if you take a joke from ten years ago and compare it to today, would you still laugh about it? Entertainment is also advancing with the times! Maybe you are tired of watching Korean entertainment that day?

Konno smiled and said: "Actually, each country has different review standards for entertainment. For example, in Japan, the review intensity is definitely much looser than in China, and the host is not particularly strict in the wording. China As far as I know, the host is very formal, even the words used, and the script given by the writer are also very formal, so it won’t be easy for Japanese entertainment to enter China, right?”

Zhang Ping'an shook his head and said: "I'm talking about large-scale entertainment. The entertainment you are talking about is more like a variety show? The scale of Japanese variety shows. Even talk shows are absolutely impossible to enter the Chinese market. Just like you The wording is not rigorous enough, because in Chinese variety shows, it is either relaxed or directly metaphorical, and if the host makes one or two "sexy" remarks from time to time...ke~~" Zhang Ping'an gestured when he said this. He made a beheading gesture.

Then Zhang Pingan said again: "However, now the AKB model has begun to develop in China. I just entered it two years ago, and now it has improved a little. Maybe it will mature in two years? So I think Naituan can also Try to develop towards China in the future, after all, the market there is bigger... Now the copyright of their named variety show is in the hands of your company, right?"

"Well, the program is from the TV station we bought. So the copyright is in our hands. I don't know what Ping An-san is..." In fact, when he heard Zhang Ping'an asked about the copyright, Konno also knew what Zhang Ping'an was thinking. Because Zhang Pingan Huaxia's live broadcast platform currently not only does live broadcasts, but also broadcasts Korean variety shows. So Konno guessed his intention.

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "I want to let Naituan's variety show be broadcast on my platform, so that Chinese audiences can slowly get to know them. This is good for their future, right? There must be understanding. , you will like them, don’t you think? Moreover, Chinese fans are very rich, and they will travel all the way to Japan to attend the autograph signings of K-pop idols. ”

While Zhang Pingan and Konno were chatting about their problems, they all listened quietly to their exchange, because their topics were all centered around their future development.

Konno smiled and responded: "We will further discuss the matter of broadcasting the program on your platform when we are free. Let you take a look at the tenth single they have prepared this time."

The live music started playing, and the members of Nogizaka performed their ten songs in front of Zhang Pingan. Regarding the Japanese girl group's dance, Zhang Ping'an really has nothing to comment on.

But after the performance, Konno still asked Zhang Pingan, how were they?

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I have been in South Korea for many years, and I am quite familiar with the entertainment industry there, and I am very clear about their systematization. When a Korean idol releases an album, it takes at least 10 years from preparation to official release. Three months. The practice of singing and dancing alone takes at least one month, and during this month everyone puts aside all their schedules and work, and everyone only focuses on practicing this thing. The daily practice time is from 9 am to evening. Twelve o'clock. Of course, I know that their situations are different, so I just want to say: The stage is the dream of all of you, so you can only take this path if you work hard!"

"The only way is to work hard." When Zhang Ping'an said these words, Konno applauded. Yes, as idols, only if everyone works together toward a common goal can the group become better.

Konno said: "I also hope that all of you will work together towards a common goal." After Konno said the concluding remarks, he whispered in Zhang Pingan's ear: "Let's go to the office to talk."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and followed Konno towards the office.

In the office, Zhang Pingan sat on the sofa with him. He took two glasses of water from the water dispenser: "Sorry, I don't have any drinks here. I hope you don't dislike it."

Zhang Pingan didn't mind at all. He took a few sips from the paper cup and said, "It's okay. Drinking water is good."

"Ping'an Sang, you mentioned earlier that Naituan's variety show will be broadcast on your platform. Do you have any specific plans?"

"Just arrange the broadcast normally. After the Korean variety show is produced, we have a special subtitle group to edit Chinese characters. So for your variety show, I only plan to use the subtitle group to edit and broadcast it. In fact, it is mainly to increase their popularity in China. , after all, Chinese otaku fans now know AKB better. As far as I know, many Chinese AKB fans have invested a lot in their albums..."
