Fangzheng didn't pay much attention to what happened to An Yilun after that. However, according to what he heard from other people, An Yilun was once again sued. This time, no one could help him. But even so, An Yilun still didn't go to jail.
During the trial, it was found that An Yilun also had mania and dangerous aggressive tendencies. In the end, the court ruled that An Yilun also had a mental illness and was sent to a mental hospital for treatment …
Of course, this had nothing to do with Fangzheng.
By the way, as a favor to Icetō Mei, he let his agency sign a training agreement with her band. For the next year, they would need to study and learn. After all, this band was made up of a group of amateurs. It was still a long way to go before they officially debuted.
In terms of training idols, Fangzheng was actually more inclined to Yoshino Junko's point of view. That was, idols needed a lot of learning and accumulation before they could debut. Because of the rapid informationization of modern society, there were many idol groups like AKB48 that grew with fans. However, as someone who was born in the same era as Junko, Fangzheng obviously preferred idols who had their own power.
As for growing with fans, Fangzheng felt that it was simply nonsense. Things like AKB were good for traffic and topics, but how much real strength did they have? Fangzheng still remembered the movie stars when he was young. They could sing, act, and dance. Strength was the foundation of their existence. Those movie stars could sing songs and act in TV series for years and even decades. But what about those internet celebrities?
They were out of date in one year, finished in three years, and no one could even remember if they existed or not in five years.
What kind of idols were they?
Of course, some people would say that those idols who grew up also knew how to train. Brother is so hardworking, practicing dance with a fever of forty-two degrees … What's the use?
Back then, they trained 24 hours a day. Now, these popular celebrities spent three hours a day doing shows, three hours on TV, three hours on autograph sessions, and then another three hours on training. What kind of effect would that have?
When Fangzheng was in charge of 765, he followed the principle of training them one day a week. That was how he managed to nurture them. Did he really think that one minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage was just a joke?
Therefore, Fangzheng despised Qiu Yuankang's AKB girl group model the most. They completely treated idol stars as fast food, just like liars. They cheated fools. After all, there were seven billion people on earth. As long as there were enough fools, the liars could make a lot of money. In essence, it was no different from pyramid schemes.
Furthermore, in Fangzheng's opinion, celebrities should use their own abilities to attract fans. What kind of internal voting was that? It was basically forcing idols to flatter their fans. What was the difference between this and those girls in the brothel in ancient times who would smile and say to their guests, "Sir, come and play when you're free. You still have to come and find me."
Those famous singers in ancient times knew how to sell their persona. Did you think that by using the banner of "being close to the people", you could hide the nature of "flattery"?
Of course, the entertainment company also had its own difficulties. After all, it took too much time and money to nurture a qualified idol. The instability was too strong. If the company spent tens of millions on a person, and something happened to that person, or a scandal that led to the end of the company, then it was equivalent to the tens of millions being completely wasted.
In contrast, most of the men and women in the world were fools. As long as the girls in the girl groups were cuter and younger, and the little fresh meat in the boy groups were cuter and more handsome, they could make a lot of money without any skills and training. It was completely a small capital and a big profit. Compared to the thankless task of nurturing superstars, this was much more convenient and easier to make money.
Those young men and women who followed boy and girl groups were essentially no different from old men and women who were fooled by pyramid schemes.
Of course, this was the reason why there were no superstars or superstars in the modern era.
On this point, Fangzheng and Yano Junko could be said to be of the same mind. They both believed that popular idols and celebrities were an insult to the audience's intelligence and aesthetic standards. However, Yano Junko was only an ordinary idol after all. Furthermore, she had turned into a zombie after her death, so she had no influence.
But Fangzheng was different!
I have money, I can do whatever I want! I can nurture as many as I want, and I can spend as much money as I want. It doesn't matter if I lose money, I can just get it from the FBI.
So Fangzheng gave Ictero and the others a death order: Train as hard as you can. Only when you pass the training will you be allowed to go on stage. If you don't pass the training, then you can forget about debuting. If you can't pass the training, then get lost!
I don't care about the business model of selling idols like brothels.
After sending Ictero and the others to hell for special training, Fangzheng conveniently went to Yamada's place. After all, she said that she wanted to discuss the new book with him, but …
"Is this the place?"
Fangzheng looked at the address in his hand and then at the haunted house full of creepers.
Although he could feel that there were indeed living beings inside, just from the appearance, it looked like a haunted house.
The door in front of him was also rusty. Why didn't anyone come and help to maintain it?
Fangzheng pushed open the iron door and walked into the courtyard. But at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a piano coming from the house.
Hmm? This is …?
Hearing the sound of the piano, Fangzheng curiously walked towards the direction of the sound. He came to the window and looked inside. Then, the scene in front of him made Fangzheng completely speechless.
In front of him was an empty room with a piano. And in front of the piano, a petite figure with long blonde hair was sitting there, immersed in playing the piano. If that was the case, then it wouldn't matter. But what made Fangzheng speechless was … that figure was completely naked!
What the hell?
Looking at until here, Fangzheng was speechless. He silently walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.
Shortly after, the voice of the Yamada Fairy sounded from the doorbell.
"Who is it? If you want a script, I don't have one right now! "
"It's me."
"Eh?!"
After hearing Fangzheng's answer, the voice on the other side of the phone immediately became nervous.
"M-Mr. Fangzheng? Please wait a moment! I'll be done right away! "
Soon, there was a series of clanking sounds. After a while, the fully clothed Yamada opened the door and appeared in front of Fangzheng.
"Haa … Mr. Fangzheng, you really scared me. Why didn't you give me a call before you came?"
"I was just passing by and decided to take a look … By the way, what the hell are you doing? It's fine if you're playing the piano, but why aren't you wearing any clothes? "
"Because … because … that's my interest!"
"… Haa?"
"After taking a shower and playing the piano naked, a great story will appear in your mind, right?"
"Before that, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Faced with Yamada's smug answer, Fangzheng helplessly extended his hand to hold his forehead.
"Also, even though I don't need to comment on other people's interests, aren't you a little too unguarded? What if someone secretly recorded this scene to threaten you?"
"…"
"Hello? Did you hear what I said? "
"That's it!"
However, what Fangzheng didn't expect was that the Yamada Fairy jumped up abruptly and cheered loudly.
"That's it! Mr. Fangzheng, you're my savior! "
"… What the hell?"
Can't we talk properly?
After that, Yamada invited Fangzheng into her house and prepared tea and snacks. Only then did she happily dance around and recount the story.
"To be honest, I didn't have any ideas for new books! But after hearing what you said, Mr. Fangzheng, I suddenly thought of a great idea! "
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
"It's like this. The protagonist is an innocent little boy who likes photography. Then, on his way to school, he met a beautiful girl with no expression. This beautiful girl moved the protagonist's heart. In the end, he wanted this beautiful girl to be his model, so he followed her to the beautiful girl's house. He wanted to meet the beautiful girl and get her consent. In the end, he accidentally saw the beautiful girl playing the piano naked. So, the main character couldn't help but take a picture of this scene! "
With that said, Yamada clenched her fists in excitement. As for Fangzheng, he pricked up his brows out of curiosity.
"Oh? And then? "
"Normally, just like what you said, Mr. Fangzheng, he could use this picture to threaten the girl. But, the main character is an innocent little boy, so he felt that it was inappropriate to take such a picture secretly. So, he apologized to the girl. But what the male lead didn't expect was that the ice-cold beauty who looked pure on the outside was actually an erotic painter! She took a fancy to the main character's photography skills and threatened him by saying, 'If you don't listen to me, I'll post this picture and say that you're a pornographer'. She wanted the main character to be her assistant! Then, a super joyful romantic comedy happened between the two of them! "
The Yamada Fairy couldn't be more excited after saying all this in one breath.
"How is it? Mr. Fangzheng!? "
"Hmm … It's quite interesting."
After listening to Yamada's introduction, Fangzheng thought for a moment and nodded. Indeed, the clash between the female lead of the erotic painter who appeared pure on the surface and the male lead of the photographer who was pure and honest could produce quite a comedic effect … From this point of view, it wasn't without reason that Yamada was a bestseller.
At least, this beginning was very attractive.
"Then, I look forward to your story …"
"Hehehe … Don't worry. Ah, but Mr. Fangzheng, there's something I need your help with."
"What's the matter?"
"I hope that Yori can help me with the illustration for this book."
"Illustration?"
"Yes, I called you here to discuss this matter. I wanted to look for Yori, but she said that she's busy helping you, Mr. Fangzheng … So, I wanted to ask …"
"Oh, I see."
Hearing until here, Fangzheng finally understood what the Yamada Fairy meant.
"No problem, I'll let her know. She has nothing else to do during this period of time, so you can contact her directly."
