Fang Zheng did not pay much attention to what happened to Tomoya Aki afterwards, but according to what he heard from other people, Tomoya Aki was sued again, and this time no one could help him. However, even so, Tomoya Aki still did not go to jail.
During the trial, a psychiatric evaluation found that Tomoya Aki had manic disorder and dangerous aggressive tendencies. Therefore, the court finally ruled that Tomoya Aki had a mental illness and was sent to a mental hospital for treatment...
Of course, this has nothing to do with Fang Zheng.
By the way, as a way of taking care of Michiru Hyodo, he asked the agency to sign a training agreement with Michiru Hyodo's band. In the next year, they need to study and learn. After all, this band is composed of a group of amateurs, and they are still far from being able to make a formal debut.
In terms of idol training, Fang Zheng is actually more inclined to Junko Konno's view that idols need a lot of learning and accumulation before they can debut. Although due to the rapid informatization of modern society, there are many idol groups like AKB48 that grow up with fans, but as a person who was born in the same era as Junko, Fang Zheng obviously still appreciates those idol stars who have their own power.
As for growing up with fans, Fang Zheng thinks it is nonsense. Things like AKB are good for increasing traffic and topics, but how much real strength do they have? Fang Zheng still remembers those three-talented stars in movies, TV and music when he was a child. They can really sing, act and dance. Strength is the basis of their existence. Those movie stars, the songs they sang and the TV dramas they acted in could last for several years or even more than ten years, but what about those Internet celebrities?
In one year, he's out of fashion. In three years, he's gone. In five years, no one even remembers whether he ever existed.
What kind of idol star is this?
Of course, some people will say that those grown-up idols also train. Brother works so hard. He is still practicing dancing even with a fever of 42 degrees... What's the use?
They used to train 24 hours a day, but now these traffic stars spend three hours making shows, three hours on TV, three hours attending autograph sessions, and then another three hours training. What effect can this have?
When Fang Zheng was leading 765, he also followed the principle of training them once a week and performing them on stage one day, which is how they were trained. Do you really think that "one minute on stage means ten years of hard work off stage" is just a joke?
Therefore, Fang Zheng despises the AKB girl group model like Akimoto Yasushi the most. It completely treats idol stars as fast-moving consumer goods, just like a scammer who cheats fools. After all, there are seven billion people on the earth. As long as there are enough fools, the scammer can make a fortune. In essence, it is no different from a pyramid scheme.
Moreover, in Fang Zheng's opinion, stars should attract fans with their own strength. Voting within the group and the like is simply forcing idols to curry favor with fans. What's the difference between this and those ladies in ancient Red Mansions who would smile and say to their guests, "Sir, please come and play again when you have time, and come to see me again"?
Those famous musicians in ancient times all knew how to sell their personas. Do you think that you can cover up the nature of "fawning" by using the banner of "being close to the people"?
Of course, entertainment companies also have their own difficulties. After all, it takes too much time and money to cultivate a qualified idol, and the instability is too strong. If a company spends tens of millions on a person, and something goes wrong with that person, or some scandal breaks out that leads to the company's downfall, then these tens of millions are completely wasted.
In comparison, there are many fools in this world, both men and women. As long as the girls in the girl group are a little cute and youthful, and the boys in the boy group are a little bit cute and handsome, they can make a lot of money without any skills or training. It is a perfect profit. Compared with the thankless task of training superstars, this is much more convenient and easier to make money.
Those young boys and girls who follow boy and girl groups are essentially no different from the old men and women who have been deceived by pyramid schemes.
Of course, this is why there are basically no superstars or triple-talented stars in modern times.
On this point, Fang Zheng and Junko Konno can be said to be like-minded. They both believe that those traffic idol stars are simply an overall insult to the audience's IQ and aesthetics. However, Junko Konno is just an ordinary little idol after all, and after her death she turned into a zombie and has no influence.
But Fang Zheng is different!
I have money, I can do whatever I want! I can train as many people as I want, I can spend as much money as I want, I don't care if I lose money, I can just get it from the FBI.
So Fang Zheng gave Hyodo Michiru and the others a strict order: train them like crazy and only allow them to perform on stage after they pass the training. If you fail to pass the test, forget about making your debut. If you never pass the test, then get out!
I don't care about Akimoto Yasushi's business model of selling idols like brothels.
After sending Hyodo Michiru and her group to hell for special training, Fang Zheng came to visit Yamada Fairy. After all, she had said before that she wanted to discuss the new book with him, but...
"Is this the place?"
Fang Zheng looked at the address at hand, then looked at the house in front of him that was covered with ivy and looked like a haunted house.
Although he could feel that there were indeed living creatures inside, just from the appearance, it looked like a haunted house.
The gate in front of me is also rusty. Is there no one to help maintain it?
Fang Zheng pushed open the iron gate and walked into the yard. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a piano coming from the house.
Hmm? This is...?
Hearing the sound of the piano, Fang Zheng walked towards the place where the sound came from curiously. He came to the window and looked inside through the window. The scene in front of him made Fang Zheng completely speechless.
There was a piano in the empty room in front of him, and in front of the piano, a petite figure with long golden hair was sitting there, playing the piano intoxicatedly. If that was the case, then it wouldn't matter, but what made Fang Zheng speechless was... that figure was actually naked, with no clothes on!
what the hell?
Seeing this, Fang Zheng was speechless. He walked silently to the front door and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the voice of Yamada Fairy was heard from the doorbell.
"Who is it? If you want the manuscript, I don't have it now!"
"It's me."
"Why?!"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the voice on the other end immediately became nervous.
"Mr. Fang Zheng? Please wait a moment! I'll be there soon!"
Soon, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, after a long while, the Yamada fairy, who had put on his clothes, opened the door and appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
"Haha...Mr. Fang Zheng, you really scared me. Why didn't you call me before you came?"
"I was just passing by and came to see you... What the hell are you doing? You can play the piano, so why don't you wear clothes?"
"Because... because... that's my interest!"
“…Huh?”
"After taking a bath, **playing the piano will make great stories come to your mind, right?"
"Before that, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Facing the smug answer from the Yamada Fairy, Fang Zheng helplessly reached out his hand to press his forehead.
"Also, although I don't need to comment on other people's interests, you are a little too defenseless. What if someone secretly filmed this scene and threatened you?"
“…”
"Hello? Are you listening to me?"
“That’s it!”
However, what Fang Zheng did not expect was that at this moment, the Yamada fairy suddenly jumped up and cheered loudly.
"That's it! Mr. Fang Zheng, you are really my savior!!"
“…What the hell?”
Can we talk properly?
After that, the Yamada Fairy invited Fang Zheng into his home and prepared some tea and snacks for him. Then he started talking excitedly, gesticulating with joy.
"To be honest, I didn't have any ideas for a new book before! But after hearing what you said just now, Mr. Fang Zheng, I suddenly thought of a great idea!"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"It's like this. The protagonist is a pure little boy who likes photography. On his way to school, he met a beautiful girl with no expression on her face. This beautiful girl touched the protagonist's heart. In the end, he wanted this beautiful girl to be his model, so he followed her to her home, wanting to meet her and get her consent. As a result, he accidentally saw the beautiful girl's emotional expression, so the protagonist couldn't control his hands and took a picture of this scene!"
Having said that, Yamada Fairy clenched his fists excitedly, and Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows curiously.
"Oh? And then?"
"Generally speaking, as you said, Mr. Fang Zheng, he could use this photo to threaten the girl, but she was an innocent boy and he thought that this kind of candid photo was not good, so he went to apologize to the girl. But what the hero didn't expect was that the innocent-looking iceberg beauty was actually an 18+ painter! She was impressed by the hero's photography skills, and threatened him to be her assistant by saying, 'If you don't listen to me, I will send this photo and say you are a candid photographer!' Then a super hilarious daily love comedy happened between the two of them!"
After saying all this in one breath, Yamada Fairy was extremely excited.
"How is it, Mr. Fang Zheng? "
"Hmm...it's really interesting."
After listening to Yamada Fairy's introduction, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and nodded. Indeed, the collision between the 18+ painter heroine who looks pure on the outside but is actually a seasoned veteran and the innocent and honest photographer hero can produce quite a comedic effect... From this point of view, it is not without reason that Yamada Fairy is a best-selling movie.
At least the beginning is attractive.
"Then I look forward to your story..."
"Hehehe... please don't worry. Ah, but Mr. Fang Zheng, there is something else I need your help with."
"What's up?"
"I hope Eriri can help me draw illustrations for this novel."
"illustration?"
"Yes, the main reason I came to you this time is to discuss this matter. I originally wanted to find Ying Lili, but she said she is busy helping you, Mr. Fang Zheng... So I want to ask..."
"Oh, I see."
After hearing this, Fang Zheng finally understood what the Yamada fairy meant.
"No problem, I'll let her know. She doesn't have anything else to do during this time, so you can contact her directly."
