Nogizaka SME Building, Baiyunshan and Kawakage Ai are taking the elevator.
The two of them talked as the elevator ascended.
"I called you, but you didn't answer the phone several times, so I had to come here in person."
"Ah, probably because the scene was being filmed, I set my phone to silent, so I didn't notice it." Bai Yunshan thought for a moment and said, "Why did Teacher Akimoto come to see me?"
"It happened suddenly. Mr. Qiu Yuan was originally inspecting our specific work process today. After all, he is the producer and wanted to give some advice. But he mentioned you in the subsequent conversation with the operation team, so he made a request after the meeting was dismissed. I will meet you alone, and then it will be my turn to come and inform you." Chuan Jingai explained.
"Meeting alone? What's going on?" Bai Yunshan looked confused.
Chuan Jingai thought about it on the way here and said, "I don't know for sure, but I guess it has something to do with the announcement of the order, or it has a direct relationship with you. In short, it shouldn't be anything big."
While the two were talking, the elevator had already reached the floor.
Going out along the elevator, Baiyunshan followed Chuan Jingai all the way to a conference room.
Chuan Jingai knocked on the door respectfully. He didn't open the door until he heard a response, made way for Baiyunshan to come in.
Baiyunshan walked in slowly, and the door was gently closed.
The person who caught the eye was sitting steadily at the head of the long table in the conference room. He had a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a black suit. His facial features looked a bit simple and flat, and his appearance was unremarkable, but the eyes reflected in the lenses were Full of unique ideas and sharpness, it cannot be underestimated.
Yasushi Akimoto is a genius who can write songs, lyrics, scripts, and make movies. Of course, what attracts the most attention to the world is the idol group AKB48 he founded, which has brought about earth-shaking changes in the Japanese idol industry, and it has surprised everyone.
Baiyunshan naturally has feelings of admiration for this nominal senior, but at the same time, he also has doubts.
Qiu Yuanyasu looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his lips.
At the recent meeting, he scolded Yoshio Konno who spoke on behalf of the company. The main reason was probably because the meaning of the first finished product was unclear. For Akimoto Yasushi, now that he has declared himself the official rival of AKB48, he naturally needs some different styles to inject into the idol industry, but he did not see such an attempt in this single.
Yoshio Konno's style of steadily testing the waters made him dissatisfied, but he also knew that this was a helpless move by capital. If he couldn't even make money at the beginning, then who would be willing to continue doing it? This is a common truth in any industry, and Akimoto Yasushi also understands it.
Therefore, although he criticized Yoshio Konno, he was limited to criticism. Two verbal suggestions could be as heavy as a mountain or as light as a feather.
After the meeting, he suddenly remembered the nominal junior student, and heard about his glorious deeds of writing a piece of music in ten minutes and his opinions in Yoshio Konno's office, and he became even more convinced that at present, Nogizaka46 absolutely needs such talents, and Yoshio Konno alone cannot complete the change.
Therefore, he would ask to meet with him alone after the meeting.
Raising his right hand slightly, Qiu Yuanyao motioned Bai Yunshan to sit down on the chair in front of him. The two of them were separated by a long table like an interview, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
After the usual polite greetings, Qiu Yuanyasu suppressed his smile, leaned forward slightly, and said seriously: "Bai Sang, you know, I really like you."
Bai Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a serious face: "Teacher Qiu Yuan, although I am not opposed to gay marriage, I have no inclination in that regard."
Qiu Yuanyasu almost spat out a mouthful of saliva, and explained with a dark face: "No, you misunderstood, I mean I admire you very much."
Baiyunshan flatly refused: "It's impossible to appreciate him. Teacher Qiuyuan, you should be married. Frankly speaking, I don't like married men."
"Uh... do you like unmarried men? There are a lot of flaws in your sentence, and I didn't know how to answer it for a while." Qiu Yuanyasu adjusted his glasses and took a deep breath. , helplessly said: "Let me explain, what I mean is that I admire your talent, connotation and speech. It has nothing to do with your body. I don't want to imply that direction. Please don't misunderstand."
"Really?" Baiyunshan still looked suspicious, as if the man in front of him was about to take away his virginity.
"real."
"It's okay. Teacher Qiuyuan, do you have anything to do with me?" Baiyunshan immediately returned to his salty posture and said calmly.
Akimoto Yasu: "..."
Coughing slightly to ease the embarrassment, Akimoto Yasushi found it difficult to adapt to the jumping thoughts of the young man in front of him and the facial expression changes like changing faces in Sichuan Opera. However, he had experienced many battles and had seen all kinds of storms, so his reaction was not slow and he was very quick. Quickly changing his mood and getting straight to the point: "I asked you to meet alone because I heard about Bai Sang's talent in music, so I wanted to invite you to work under me. I don't know what you think."
Sure enough!
Baiyunshan sighed softly in his heart. He deliberately made a joke just to skip this topic, but he didn't expect that Qiu Yuanyasu came with this idea and said it without hesitation, leaving him with no way out.
Bai Yunshan knew in his heart that it was impossible to change jobs, and it was impossible to change jobs in this life. He didn't know how to do anything else, and he could only maintain his life like this by writing music. Entering Nogizaka feels like going home. The feeling in the lounge is much better than at home. Everyone in the lounge is talented and speaks well. He likes it very much.
Therefore, the only choice given to him was to refuse.
And refusing would most likely offend the producer in front of him, a benevolent senior who single-handedly promoted him to Nogizaka46 and gave him a good position. This was obviously very unwise. Ordinary people would consider it anyway, or simply choose to change jobs. Unfortunately, Baiyunshan has a last resort.
So he didn't hesitate. After all, it was about life, and he didn't dare to hesitate.
"Sorry, Teacher Akimoto, I still want to stay here for the time being. If there is a chance in the future, I will consider working under you again."
After a standard refusal to speak, the conference room suddenly became quiet.
After a few breaths, Akimoto Yasushi was not annoyed, but asked calmly: "Why do you still want to stay here?"
Baiyunshan asked: "Then why did you elect me to join?"
Recommend Baiyun Mountain for its reputation? For profit?
If you think about this sentence on that day at the beginning of the year, the answer is obvious.
Akimoto Yasushi did a smooth favor and allowed Baiyun Mountain to enter here. If the latter has the ability to make achievements in the future, he will definitely have a share of the credit, and the latter will definitely be grateful for it. Even if he is mediocre, Qiu Yuanyasu only pays lip service and does not give any substantial help. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with him.
This is a common trick of old foxes, but Baiyunshan obviously understands these twists and turns, so he simply points it out in a subtle way. We are all foxes for thousands of years, what are you doing with me? It's pretty much what you want. I do it here and you do it there. Aren't they all acknowledging your favor? So be it!
After Qiu Yuanyasu was silent for a moment, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said slowly: "You are right, since I have recommended you, then the choice is your personal problem, and I respect your choice. but--"
He said as he stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the door, and gently turned the handle.
"——If you change your mind in the future and want to come to me, I will still welcome you. Because what I said before is still valid, Bai Sang, I really like you."
"Haha, Teacher Qiuyuan, I've also said it, but unfortunately I don't have that tendency." Baiyunshan lowered his head and chuckled before replying.
Their backs were facing each other, and their expressions could not be clearly seen.
Qiu Yuanyasu didn't answer. He smiled meaningfully, opened the door, and strode away.
