Time goes back more than half an hour.
Ito and iKO came to their seats and started chatting not long after they sat down.
"Have you remembered what Sakamoto-san just told me?"
"I remember it, but won't it be bad?"
"What's wrong?"
"Think about it, doesn't this mean we should be the bad guys? I have never played such a role before, so I feel a little uncomfortable."
"What's so uncomfortable about this? Compared to this, it's more important to worry about another point."
"What?"
"It's true that we made things difficult for him and then asked him to fight back and guide public opinion and news to attract a lot of attention. But in the end, weren't we slapped in the face? We are the ones who are embarrassed!"
"It's okay, it's not true. It's not like you don't understand. Afterwards, if we shake hands and make peace with the media, and collaborate on a few more works, any negative impact will be gone."
"It's true, and we can agree not only for Sakamoto-san's sake, but also because we can cooperate! I heard that the young man is so talented that writing music is as easy as eating and drinking. Is it true? "
"It doesn't matter if it's not true. After all, he still has Sony as his backer! Moreover, Sakamoto-san is also supporting him. His future achievements will be much better than those of us who are neither above nor below."
"That's right. Well, it's so annoying to say that people are more powerful than others. Let's forget it. Having said that, I'm still a little worried. Can that young man do what I said before? Is it too risky? ?”
"Don't worry. Since you can put forward such conditions, you must have confidence."
"Yeah, but it's a bit outrageous for us to think of some conditions and add them. Tsk, is he really that powerful? What's his name?"
"Baiyun Mountain."
"Hey, what is this situation called Baiyun Mountain? Why have I never heard of it?"
...
Time returns to the present, next to the railing on the second floor.
Matsuoka looked a little confused and said: "But I still don't understand. If you want to do this, why don't you just start right away? Why do you need to perform such a scene?"
Sakamoto Ryuichi said calmly: "Of course I am trying to lie to you. If such a show was not staged under your nose, how could you believe that all of this is true? Then let the reporter follow the situation and suggest something. Regarding the topic of whether the rumors are true or false, how about provoking a conflict between the two and leading him step by step into a situation that is beyond redemption?"
"To be honest, if he didn't do this, it might be really difficult if he deliberately caused trouble and brought up other problems. But fortunately, everything went smoothly. After all, such a good opportunity was right in front of him. , no one would give up this tempting topic and divert other information, which is quite reasonable."
Matsuoka remained silent.
Things became clear at this point. It turned out that the difficulty created by the two Itos was completely a drama that Sakamoto Ryuichi and Baiyunshan had discussed. It was because he knew in advance that Matsuoka would arrange for reporters to cause trouble, and then stage a scene in which the two parties had conflicts under his nose. The contradictory plot caused the reporter who had been arranged not to pay attention to other issues, but to focus on the rumor that Baiyun Mountain composed a song in ten minutes, and ended up falling into a trap.
This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only led to solving the trouble caused by Matsuoka, but also gained a lot of attention, achieving the purpose of publicity. No wonder Matsuoka looked so ugly, because it was only now that he realized that he had fallen into the trap unknowingly, and even sang a large part of the play without knowing it.
"Also, didn't I say it at the beginning, you were wrong, it was not hype at all, because what is being done now is hype, and it is hype without anyone knowing."
Sakamoto Ryuichi had a calm expression on his face, waved his hand lightly, and said: "Look at the people in the audience. Except for those who are familiar with the matter, which one of them knows that all these seemingly ups and downs are just a hype? None of them. . Because they are all in it, they think that every judgment they make is determined by themselves. In fact, it is just a play. Often they cannot tell that it is a play until they are in the middle of the play."
This sentence can be said to add fuel to the fire. Matsuoka finally couldn't bear it anymore and snorted: "That's enough for you! You keep saying I'm wrong and I'm wrong. What do you really know? You admire him and want him to enter music." He has become the successor of the new generation, but have you ever thought about how we people feel? If he really comes in, no matter how many excellent works he writes, it will be our misfortune!"
Sakamoto Ryuichi shook his head slightly, with disappointment in his eyes: "It is because your concept has always restrained you, which has led to the situation of being stubborn. You have been wrong for many years, and you are almost old. You can't be wrong anymore. Go down."
Matsuoka waved his hands disdainfully and said, "Forget it, I have been saying these words for so many years, do you think anyone has listened to your nagging?"
Then he put away his anger, looked at the situation indifferently, and said: "I admit that it is very smart for you to arrange two people in advance to cooperate with the acting, but I did not just arrange one reporter, there is another Reporter from Wenchun, you should know the relationship between Wenchun and that guy Qiu Yuankang, right?"
Sakamoto Ryu raised his eyebrows.
Matsuoka continued: "This young man does seem to be very troublesome, but what about the little girls next to him? They can't have as much experience as him, right? By making insinuations, you can always dig out some interesting news. I think Wen Chun must also be very interested in these things."
He couldn't help laughing, but Sakamoto Ryuichi returned to his previous state and said calmly: "Really? Let's wait and see."
...
The perspective returns to the scene.
The hype for the collaboration between Baiyunshan and Ryuichi Sakamoto was not unsuccessful. Not only were everyone shocked by the music they wrote, but they were also attracted by the performance during this period. For a time, whether it was reporters or other well-known or slightly unknown artists, Famous musicians gathered around him. Some wanted to seek cooperation, and some asked enthusiastic questions to dig up news. The smarter ones even directly asked about Nogizaka46, because it was obvious that he had been promoting it, and this was the key point, so he kept asking questions. His attention was drawn to him, and he was very busy.
The little idols behind him were left out in the cold, but they were not sad, but relaxed.
After all, it felt a bit nervous to be watched like this before. In addition, the development of the plot was full of ups and downs, and they were also riding a roller coaster. Now that all the firepower was attracted by Baiyun Mountain, they got some rest time, but it made them feel happy, watching this scene and chatting with each other relaxedly.
"So, when will it end? I'm a little hungry." Erika Ikuta sat bored for a while and couldn't help but complain softly.
"It should be soon. After all, the holding time mentioned earlier is only one hour. Now that so much time has passed, the time should be almost there." Shiraishi Mai looked up and looked at the time.
"I really want to go back. Although I am very happy here, I am too nervous. I always feel like there are eyes watching me no matter what I do. It is so uncomfortable." Rina Ikoma muttered in a low voice.
A few people were chatting sporadically, but at this moment, a reporter with a license suddenly came to them.
"Good afternoon, fellow Nogizaka46 members, I am a reporter from the beauty magazine "MAQUIA". I would like to interview you for a few questions. Is it okay?"
