In 2016, Hideaki Takizawa starred in a Japanese drama called "Unreserved Love", which tells the adult love story between a married vice president played by Hideaki Takizawa and a female subordinate. The domineering president's forbidden love affair is intoxicating, and now, some of the plot may be fantasized to be true. The domineering presidents in those romance novels finally have a realistic version, not a certain East, a certain Cong...
According to the "Weekly Bunkharu" news, Kitagawa, president of the Janis office, has named Hideaki Takizawa as his successor. The Japanese media asked Janis for confirmation, and the other party refused to answer on the grounds that "the person in charge is not in the company", but did not deny it. In addition, it is said that in order to take over the matter, Hideaki Takizawa has begun to visit various Japanese television stations.
As we all know, Janis Office is a Japanese national idol maker and a well-deserved monopoly of Japanese boy bands. Hideaki Takizawa is also an artist under his umbrella. At present, hideaki Takizawa, who is only 36 years old, has entered the late stage as an idol, but as the president of a huge entertainment group, he is quite young and promising.
If the news is true, he is the real domineering president who sits on the world's most beautiful face and idol empire. Those entertainment industry texts are actually true! Such a president, presumably only others want to sneak him, there is no possibility of him forcing others, you can rest assured to buy.
<h1>The most handsome and domineering president in history</h1>
Although the role played by Hideaki Takizawa in "Unreserved Love" is suspected of being a scumbag, he is a completely different image in reality.
About 20 years ago, although they had not yet officially debuted, Janis's children were able to have three title programs in the golden file of the TV station, so this batch of Jr. was known as the "golden generation" of Janis, and Hideaki Takizawa commanded about 100 rising stars. At the time, he was 16 years old and was already hosting the show with his seniors in his 30s.
In 2005, when he was 23 years old, Hideaki Takizawa starred in the NHK Okawa drama "Yoshikei", the youngest star in the history of Okawa drama, a record that was later broken by Aoi Miyazaki. In our words, it is a newcomer who is praised by CCTV.
The acting career has been hanging all the way, according to our routine, it is time to terminate the contract with the company. But Hideaki Takizawa always emphasizes Janis's kindness in public, and in recent years, fans have even felt that he values "milk children" more than his own career.
"Because it was johnny Sang (president) who discovered the children, they definitely have some kind of charm. Isn't that wasteful? If it fails. "Passing on the history of Janis is also a kind of gratitude." ”
Because of this surprising sense of responsibility, Hideaki Takizawa was selected as "the most trustworthy senior artist" for three consecutive years. Tomohisa Yamashita said that he decided to enter the show business after watching Hideaki Takizawa's TV series, and Takizawa was his most admired predecessor.
Previously, the signal that Hideaki Takizawa took over Janis had actually been released frequently. The 2002 duo formed by Hideaki Takizawa and Imai Wing recently stopped its activities, one of the reasons being due to changes in the company's personnel. The two have very different views on the dissolution of SMAP in 2016. Hideaki Takizawa said: "Thank you to the company is of course. People who don't even understand this are not stupid. Imai, on the other hand, is critical of the company. As a result, Imai wing was treated coldly, and Hideaki Takizawa ascended to today's position.
This year, Hideaki Takizawa and V6 member Ken Miyake formed a new group "KEN☆Tackey" and have already debuted on CD. After the rumors of a successor president appeared, Japanese media began to speculate whether Ken Miyake's status would be improved.
This speculation about a change of power is normal. At that time, Jr.'s "golden generation" has become the golden generation of the Japanese entertainment industry, including Arashi, Seki 8, Ikuta Doujin, Yamashita Tomohisa... How they react to the new president will directly affect the entire Japanese entertainment industry.
Outside of the Golden Generation, how will the senior artists who have entered the management of Janis, Makoto Kondo, Noriyuki Higashiyama, and Takuya Kimura, treat Hideaki Takizawa's successor? According to Masaaki Hikuro, an art critic who has been following the Janis office for many years, "Over the past 10 years, it has been rumored that Noriyuki Higashiyama will become a successor. ”
Takuya Kimura
Even more troublesome is the two vice presidents, Mary Kitagawa and Keiko Fujishima. The former is the sister of President Kitagawa, and the latter is The daughter of Mary. As soon as the news came out, the blood relatives of these two presidents were naturally opposed.
The succession battle between professional managers and former leaders' blood relatives is always a place of dog blood that makes people feel very excited. The dissolution of SMAP was due to a power struggle between the two vice presidents and SMAP broker Iijima. As a result of the confrontation between the two factions, Janis has undergone a change of power, and the company's strength has been weakened. The "Wenchun Cannon" of the "Weekly Wenchun" seized the opportunity to expose the Janis scandal many times. Janis is at a turning point.
Therefore, in addition to being a hegemonic novel, if Hideaki Takizawa succeeds him, What Janis will stage is the corporate version of "Reverse Da'ao" and the idol version of "Yanxi Raiders"!
The Book of Righteousness
In The view of Masaaki Hiru, it is more likely that Hideaki Takizawa will take over the production department, while the artist agent is still in charge of Vice President Keiko. How to serve the people of the same generation, appease the predecessors, and put the problem in front of the most handsome and domineering president in history is not simple.
"The most traditional business is still the stage"
According to Japanese media reports, the relevant personnel of the Janis firm revealed: "The Janis firm continues to grow, and the TV screen business has gradually become the mainstream. But for Janis, the most traditional business is still the stage (live performance). From this point of view, Hideaki Takizawa has the conditions to dominate the overall situation. ”
This sentence is very intriguing. Janis artists have always been considered "ten people and ten colors", singing, acting, variety shows, hosting, news can be played, but this is based on the size of the TV or movie screen. Now there's an emphasis on live performances?
As everyone knows, Kitagawa's favorite thing is the live performance. It was after watching "West Side Story" on Broadway that the idea of establishing a singing and dancing group in Japan came up. For many years, Janis's cultivation of artists has started from the live stage, and before his debut, he has to dance with his predecessors and perform various stage plays. Before his debut, Arashi's captain, Tomomo Ohno, was thrown to Kyoto to perform stage plays for 2 years.
What role does Hideaki Takizawa play in this? In addition to his perennial loyalty and milk children, he is probably most pleased by the president is his deep cultivation of stage performances. President Kitagawa created the stage play "Dream Boy" for him, and the golden generation has basically experienced it in this work.
Today, Hideaki Takizawa has been the lead actor and director of the stage play "Takizawa Kabuki" for 13 years, managing about 200 cast members, and his management ability and leadership style have long been honed. V6's Kokubun Taiyi even directly refers to him as "Little Johnny Sang". In 2015, Hideaki Takizawa led the "Takizawa Kabuki" team to achieve the first time that Janis stage plays went to sea, performing in Singapore.
Comparable to New York Broadway, it has always been the pursuit of President Kitagawa. Janis's live performances are unique, using a large number of original music, combined with well-known musical repertoire, singing, dancing and scenes, and the themes range from classic Japanese legendary anecdotes, samurai killing oriental style, to large-scale fantasy magic shows. Live IP has been formed that is deeply integrated with artists, in addition to Hideaki Takizawa's "Takizawa Kabuki", as well as Koichi Domoto's "Endless SHOCK" and so on.
"Endless SHOCK" is the general name of the musical series directed by Koichi Domoto, who is responsible for planning, conceiving, producing, music and starring, and directed by President Kitagawa. Since its inception in 2000, as of March 31, 2017, it is the most performed musical and the second most stage play in Japan. Koichi Domoto also won the Highest Award for Japanese Stage Drama,"Kikuda Kazuo Acting Award" for his play.
The most difficult thing to buy tickets for Janis idol performances is not the concert of a certain group, but "Endless SHOCK", which is called "the most difficult stage play in Japan to buy tickets" by the Japanese media.
For Janis's idol system, live performances can accumulate popularity and experience for newcomers to debut, and play a role in circle powder after debut, and can also drive the economic benefits of surrounding industries and increase media exposure.
If Hideaki Takizawa succeeds, the status of live performances in the Janis system may be further enhanced, which may represent the will of President Kitagawa. The 86-year-old president hopes that Hideaki Takizawa will stabilize Janis's stage roots.
He mountain stone, "Chinese theater boy band" to engage in?
Akb48 and Janis are representatives of the Japanese theater girl group and the theater boy band, respectively. The theater girl group SNH48 transplanted from Japan has successfully taken root in China, so why hasn't there been a Chinese theater boy band?
For fans of Chinese male idols, the only places where they can contact idols on the spot are concerts and signing parties in the industry, and only various commercial activities at various stations. In the era of traffic, it is not easy for fans to watch a concert a year, bypassing the official fan club that always has bugs, and entangled with scalpers, and has to be taken away by the endorsement brand to take part of the free tickets.
Nowadays, the easiest place to meet idols is commercial activities. But here the idol is only a foil for the brand, in the face of the host who even reads the name of the idol incorrectly, only an awkward smile, and finally throws a few "than heart" to the fans to end the business activities that are hurriedly concluded, can the fans really be satisfied? Isn't the essence of idol fans screaming with many of their peers on a stage exclusive to idols?
In fact, Hard Candy Jun believes that whether the theater boy band has a market in China does not need to be demonstrated anymore. There is already a successful case of theater boy band in front of us - that is, the Deyun Tiantuan.
Guo Degang, who lived in the Fuxing Theater in the middle of television and evening crosstalk, was President Kitagawa of China. And deyun society, is China's Janis.
Don't you believe it, to what extent has the cross-talk idol of the Tokuunsha Society developed? Zhang Yunlei Sanqingyuan cross-talk performance, due to the excessive number of queues on the spot, there are security risks, changed to online ticket sales, which caused fans to be dissatisfied, and eventually broke out of the network scolding war. True love fans are busy with comments, Kuroko follows the wind to make up materials, the home falls into the well, and even the marketing number begins to play with rhythm, what is the difference between this and the idol rice circle?
During the World Cup, an APP carried out a "Fan World Cup" voting activity. In order to vote for Zhang Yunlei, Guo Qilin's "young master powder", Yan Hexiang's "zhuangzhuang powder", Meng Hetang's "Tang Liang powder", burnt cake fans, Zhang Helun's fans, Zhang Jiuling's fans, Qin Xiaoxian's fans, Tao Yang's fans, Yue Yunpeng's fans all came to support the front line, and even "Gangsi" also joined in the fun, and in the end, Zhang Yunlei suppressed Chen Linong with 130 million votes. I would like to ask which poisonous idol boy group can have such unity as the Deyun Girls?
It is precisely because of the lack of domestic theater boy bands that The Tokuunsha has become a substitute for theater idols. The slightly flat head and face of the cross-talk can be fired like this. If this is a white and beautiful little fresh meat, what kind of fans must love? The circle of fans and interactivity on the spot, that is what online business can not compare.
What's more, in the past, live performances were not wide enough to spread than tv screens. But now it is the Internet era, live performances are spread online in real time, the star-making link is shorter, the speed is faster, and the fans are more iron.
The business method of male idols, which is mainly based on live performances, provides fans with a deeper emotional and entertainment experience. Which brokerage company is good, hard candy jun can't wait.
