Tokyo, Sony Music Company, SME Nogizaka Building.
"It's amazing. I really saw the right person. Bai Yunsang is indeed a capable person. Please take good care of her in the future." Chuan Jingai greeted Bai Yunshan in the elevator with a bright smile.
Chuan Jingai already knew about Baiyun Mountain when he received the call in the lounge, so he looked a little strange at that time. He was a little regretful that this young man who had just arrived was about to leave, but who knew that things would suddenly turn around and the young man He suddenly turned into a genius and gave him a fierce glare. The feeling of eating lemons before has subsided a lot.
Bai Yunshan said he was humble, but that was not the case in his heart. If he hadn't been concerned that Sichuan Jingai was not very familiar with him, he would have laughed with his molar teeth out by now.
To be honest, he now understands why the male protagonists in those cool novels always like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. This feeling of pretending to be like the wind is really good. If you have to calculate it, it is almost the same as charging ten times in a row. The feelings of devil training are similar, except that one is physical and the other is spiritual relief.
Hmm... Although it seems that Chuan Jingai's name is wrong again, don't worry about these details!
Along the way, Chuan Jingai continued to introduce the situation to Baiyunshan.
It can be said that the debut single is about to be released, and there are not many promotional activities during this period. For example, Meiji Chocolate's CM filming was completed in the past few days, and other activities will start next week.
The members were also informed of the debut song, and the relevant selections had been completed during the last program included, but it would only be announced to the outside world after "Where's Nogizaka" for a few days. The members currently in the SME building are all members of the selection group. They will record the first single during this time. As for the PV, it will be shot at the selected location on January 8 after the recording is completed.
There were not many people, after all, they were just members of the selection team. Most of the members stood outside the recording studio, and a few people were arranged to enter in order each time. This was the scene Baiyunshan saw.
The girls had nervousness on their faces, that's for sure, but they were more excited because they could clearly feel that they were becoming idols and stepping into the circle step by step.
Among the crowd, Baiyunshan saw a certain girl from Hokkaido at a glance.
The short-haired girl in his sight looked a little different from the other members. She was wearing a light indoor pink sweater and was looking down at a book. There was an earphone hanging on one ear, and she was chatting with the members next to her. He looked up, but there was no nervousness on his face.
Kawakage Ai on the side suddenly noticed that Baiyunshan was silent, followed his gaze, and instantly explained clearly: "Oh, Baiyunsan, that is one of the Seven Gods of Good Luck, Hashimoto Nanami from Hokkaido. It is said that The operation team was originally not very optimistic about her, because her personality is somewhat inconsistent with being an idol, but her performance these days seems to be very good, so she added the Seven Lucky Gods to the first order."
Baiyunshan naturally knew a little bit about these things, but since Chuan Jingai took the initiative to explain, he just continued the conversation.
"I've heard of the Seven Gods of Fortune. Is it a counterpart to AKB48's Seven Gods?"
"Yes, Nogizaka46 has been using the slogan of AKB48's official opponent since its inception. As an official opponent, just like in the comics, it is natural to have a real opponent. Of course, it is still too far away from AKB48. Well, this kind of thing is actually just a marketing strategy to attract attention. After all, in the early stages of establishment, as long as someone pays attention, whether it is sewage or clean water, the seedlings can grow faster."
"Of course, since there is sewage, these children will have to bear the filth caused by sewage." At this point, Chuan Jingai said nothing more.
Baiyunshan nodded thoughtfully. At this time, AKB48 was at its peak. Even a person like him who didn't pay much attention to the idol circle in the entertainment industry could often hear those names, and this group of fledgling girls Slogans that target those people will naturally attract attention and even be questioned and even abused by the fan groups of those people.
And this is not something they can decide, or in other words, from the moment they accept the selection and stand out, this is what they have to bear.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. This is an eternal truth.
Just when Baiyunshan was slightly touched, he realized that it seemed that the gazes of Baiyunshan and Kawakage Ai had been too direct. The short-haired girl Nana Hashimoto who was being watched also noticed something, closed the book and put it on her knees. He turned his head slightly and looked this way with some doubts in his eyes.
Then, that doubt turned into another kind of doubt.
Oops!
Found!
Oh no, why should I say it’s bad?
Baiyunshan's pupils shrank, and just when he was thinking about how to answer, Chuan Jingai stood up and clapped his hands loudly, attracting the attention of everyone present, and said loudly: "Everyone, stop for a moment, I have something here. I need to explain something to you!"
"What's going on Kawakage-san?"
"Is it something related to the performance?"
"Is it time to eat? I'm a little hungry again."
"Please Huahua, you just finished eating not long ago, how could you start eating again so soon? You also got hungry too quickly."
"You can't blame me, the bento bought by staff-san is really delicious!"
...
It seemed that the relationship with Chuan Jingai was already very familiar, and the members did not feel much nervousness. Instead, they chatted with their thoughts.
"Ahem!" Chuan Jingai cleared his throat loudly, and waited until it became quiet again before saying: "Let me introduce to you, this is a new agent given to you by the firm, who is also a temporary member of the operations team. Baiyun Mountain Baiyun Sang! In the future, I will be responsible for everyone’s daily work together with the life team!” After saying that, he took the lead in applauding.
"An agent again? Don't we already have one?"
"Why does Agent Sang concurrently serve as a temporary member of the operations team? Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
"And he looks so young, he shouldn't be thirty years old, right?"
The words "operation team" still carry a lot of weight. The girls did not chatter like they did just now, but talked quietly for a moment, and then clapped along with Sichuan Jingai.
After a round of applause.
There was silence.
Facing everyone's gaze, Baiyunshan realized that everyone seemed to be waiting for him to speak, ah, that's right, it was a routine after all!
But...what to say?
Why don't you introduce yourself first? Thinking of this, Baiyunshan's eyes lit up and he became energetic, as if he had thought of something interesting.
At the same time, Hashimoto Nanami not far away seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Baiyun Mountain with strange eyes.
This guy isn't going to start his self-introduction again, is he?
Amid Hashimoto Nana's inner speculation, Baiyunshan slowly spoke.
