"Good afternoon, Miss Nonaka." As soon as get out of class ended, Amamiya Shiori hurriedly carried her bag and ran out of the school gate, getting into Sakiko Nonaka's car parked nearby.
It's June, the turn of spring and summer, and the weather is getting hotter. The cool air from the air conditioner makes the inside and outside of the car feel like two different worlds.
"Good afternoon, Xiaozhi." Sakiko Nonaka pushed up her sunglasses in the driver's seat with a smile on her face, "I have good news for you."
"What's the good news?" Amamiya Shiori in the back seat wiped the sweat from his temples, "Has the consumption tax been lowered?"
"If you think too much, how can such a good thing happen?" Nonaka handed Amamiya Shiori a schedule mysteriously, "It's work-related, look at it carefully."
This is Amamiya Shiori’s work schedule for the next few weeks. In addition to the shooting of new singles, daily practice classes and the recording of first-class series, programs outside the village account for the majority. Quiz type, watching videos and reacting, and just being a vase to shoot a short sitcom. Programs large and small fill the schedule.
Among them was a program highlighted in bold font, which caught Amamiya Shiori's attention at a glance.
"Let's dance! Your Majesty Saury!!" Amamiya Shiori read out word for word, and looked up at Nonaka, who was all smiles.
"Saury, is it one of the big 3 saury?"
"Who else could it be besides him?"
"Eh? Why did you suddenly think of sending me an invitation? I'm not a famous singer or a famous actor." Amamiya Soi was a little surprised.
"Have you forgotten where you just came out?" Nonaka pointed through the car window to the landmark building of Tokyo University, the Yasuda Lecture Hall, which was vaguely visible in the distance.
"Oh, yes, that's right." Amamiya Shizaki realized in hindsight that he had almost forgotten the overwhelming news more than two months ago.
"lets Dance! Your Highness, Saury! " is a prime-time variety show hosted solely by the famous comedian Akashi Iaaki. It has been running for 15 years since its premiere in 1997. In each episode, more than a dozen guests will be invited to sit on the stage and discuss topics related to the saury.
The guests change every week, some are comedians, some are singers promoting new songs or actors promoting new dramas, and some are more mixed, including idols, sports athletes, and Internet celebrities who have recently become more popular.
Amamiya Souri is an idol in her own right, plus she was admitted to Tokyo University some time ago and has a certain degree of topicality, so it makes perfect sense for her to be invited by the program team.
But Amamiya Sōri is not yet ready to appear in a prime-time variety show, especially a talk variety show like this.
For singers or actors, the purpose of being on this show is just for publicity. It doesn't matter whether their jokes are good or not, or how effective the show is.
But for comedians, going on this show is equivalent to going to the battlefield.
"lets Dance! Your Highness, Saury! "The final broadcast duration was only over fifty minutes, and each guest only had three or four minutes on average. In order to gain more opportunities to perform, comedians are eager to take all topics into their own hands, and will also take the initiative to jump in when other artists are communicating with Saury.
Idols like Amamiya Shiori, after talking about their own topics, basically have no ability to interrupt unless saury suddenly mentions it, and can only sit there as a vase and laugh with them.
"Has the script, or the topic, been decided?" Amamiya Sōri pursed her lips. She was not the kind of person who was eloquent, and she could already foresee what would happen when the time came.
"Not yet, I have to discuss it with the program team in a few days, but I can probably guess two topics, one is Nogizaka, and the other is Todai Idol." Nonaka started the car.
"In other words, you are talking about your own topic and promoting Nogizaka at the same time?" Amamiya Sōri asked.
"That's pretty much it, but you should also have watched Saury-san's show. A lot of the time, Saury-san is free to express himself." Nonaka replied.
"lets Dance! Your Highness, Saury! 》In this program, the crew will put the prepared topics on the podium in the studio, and the saury will take the direction himself, so it is important for the guests to adapt to changes.
"I feel so guilty~~" Amamiya Shiori collapsed in the back seat. It was not that he was afraid of meeting those famous artists, but that he was afraid that he would be too panicked and perform poorly. It suddenly occurred to me that in a certain issue of the crown show, Shitara and Himura taught them how to behave when they meet Daimono artists. I didn't expect that they would need to use them so soon.
"It's okay. There are still two weeks until the official filming. There is plenty of time to prepare." Nonaka comforted, "The management attaches great importance to this matter. After all, he is the first one in Nogizaka to have a prime-time variety show. He will finish the evening program soon. , I’ll take you back to SME for a small meeting.”
"Are we still going to have a meeting?" Amamiya Shiori just wanted to take a shower and go to bed after a tiring day.
"It won't be long. There are only a few members of the management present, including Konno-san, Kitagawa-san, and Kikuchi-san." Nonaka added, "I will take you back to the dormitory after the meeting."
"Yeah, I understand." Amamiya Nobile nodded, and the leader gave way to the meeting. She really had no reason to refuse.
In the past two months, in addition to the fixed salary, various job invitations have brought her an additional income of more than 400,000 yen per month. Although it is far less than a hair of a certain Shuang's daily salary, it is a huge amount. improved her financial situation. Amamiya Soi is already planning when to replace her second-hand Windows XP laptop with a Macbook.
With his income rising every month, Amamiya Suga suddenly felt that better days were just around the corner.
After recording the evening program before nine o'clock, I returned to SME's Nogizaka LLC office and had a small meeting with Konno and others. It was already past eleven o'clock when it ended.
At the meeting, Yoshio Konno emphasized the importance of this program to her. As this is a very rare opportunity to promote Nogizaka, Amamiya Shiori should pay attention to explaining the difference between Nogizaka and AKB. At the same time, Kitagawa and others also have high hopes for Amamiya Shiori, hoping that she can become Nogizaka's pioneer in expanding territory outside the village.
Amamiya Shiori said yes repeatedly. As long as there is money to be made, whatever the leader says, then follow suit.
Konno also comforted Amamiya Shiori and told her not to be nervous. He would personally accompany her to the scene when the time comes. As for the words and rhetoric in the show, the management will provide help, so Amamiya Sodai doesn't have to worry. No matter how she performs in the end, operations will stand behind her and become her most solid support.
Amamiya Sugawara immediately stated that he firmly believes in the leadership of operations, works together with one heart and one mind, and strives to contribute to building a stronger Nogizaka.
Konno praised her attitude and said that Nogizaka’s future success would be inseparable from dedicated employees like Amamiya Soi.
