The conversation backstage ended not long after.
Baiyunshan said goodbye to the two old people and left the backstage, preparing to go to the front to check on the little idols. The curator watched his leaving back, wondering what he was thinking.
"Still feel a little pity?"
Seeing his friend's appearance, Satake couldn't help but smile and joked in a low voice.
"Alas~"
The old man sighed softly, and did not deny it. He just nodded silently, and then said: "Since I established this cultural center, my goal has always been to pass on and revitalize these things. I already felt that I couldn't see anything. I had hoped, but now I suddenly see such a good seedling. It would be a pity to miss it like this."
Satake also nodded and continued: "It's a pity. It can be seen from his works that his talent is indeed outstanding. But have you ever thought about why he always has such good works? It was not released? Even if it is announced now, it is released in the name of a group of young idols, as if they are afraid of being contaminated by something——"
Feeling that his friend had something to say, the old man frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Satake smiled, reached out and took out a stack of newly printed information from a staff member nearby. The paper was still warm. He handed it to him and said with emotion: "I just took the time to read it again." , you will understand after reading it, it’s not that you don’t write, but that you don’t dare to write. This young man also has his own difficulties——”
The old man quickly took it and read it with a frown. His brows became tighter and tighter as he read it. Finally, he couldn't help but let out an angry groan and threw the information on the table next to him.
"I asked why people are so resolute and reject so simply. Even if they are so talented, they still refuse to do so. Even when they write a haiku, they have to hide their heads and tail, as if they are afraid that someone will find out. It turns out that it is because they have experienced such a painful experience before. What an experience!”
The old man was filled with righteous indignation and couldn't help but said angrily: "Such despicable means of suppression and persecution have led to a good talent ending up like this, and turning a teenage child into an orphan! Literature has no nationality? Oh, now that I think about it, What I just said is extremely ironic to others! I'm afraid it made me bloody at that time!"
"Calm down, calm down, calm down——"
Satake bent down and picked up the two pieces of information accidentally scattered on the ground. On them were written the information about Baiyun Mountain and the past about his father that he only learned about from Mr. Sakamoto.
He put the information back, patted his friend's shoulder, thought for a moment, and comforted him: "Don't be too angry. In my opinion, this is actually a good thing for you."
"Good thing?"
The old man frowned and looked at him again.
Satake explained methodically: "It's a good thing. Think about it, because of his father's experience, he was extra cautious to avoid being suppressed. In this way, we only need to help get rid of those who once suppressed him. , won’t the problem be solved?”
The old man's eyes immediately lit up, and then he hesitated a little. He frowned and said, "However, those people written in the information are not in the same circle as us. In the music industry, even if we two old guys are in Akita, they are not in the same circle." Even though they have some old faces, they may not be able to do anything to them, right?"
"Nothing can be done about it." Satake nodded lightly and pondered for a moment, then pointed to a name mentioned in the information and said, "But if we pick one or two people to deal with, we can use this to free the young man." Some kindness, but it’s not difficult to do—”
"Like him."
The old man lowered his head slightly and looked intently, only to see that the name displayed on the document was an acquaintance of Baiyun Mountain who had once had a close relationship - Matsuoka.
...
Just after the negotiations backstage were completed, the promotion on stage almost started.
On the stage of the conference in the cultural center, in front of many reporters and local writers, the little idols nervously performed a dance to the theme song of the third single.
Let’s not talk about the effect of the dance. At least most of the people present seemed to support it. After the end, they applauded warmly and the atmosphere seemed very good. I don’t know if it was because of Rina Ikoma’s Akita origin among the girls, or because of it. Because the curator said hello quietly, or maybe both.
Baiyunshan couldn't help but curse in his heart. Fortunately, this was the third single's dance. If the second single was here to promote, what he saw on the stage might not be the human centipede. That scene... Tsk tsk!
But it was a good thing after all. After the performance, it was Rina Ikoma's turn as the center to stand up and speak on behalf of the team.
It can be seen that after the tempering of the first two singles, the girl's performance has been very stable. Although she is still a little nervous, facing a large crowd of people in the audience, there is no tremor in her voice when she speaks, and the content is also It was so clear and eloquent that many of the adults in the audience who entered the hall to attend the conference couldn't help but nod secretly, wondering if they were thinking of their own children.
Then Yumi Wakazuki, who had just entered the selection of this team, spoke. The girl was worthy of being considered as the captain candidate. She spoke seriously, calmly, and clearly organized. She didn't show any nervousness at all. She was better than her incompetent captain. How much more reliable it is, Baiyunshan nodded repeatedly.
Hmm... I always have the illusion that I saw Hashimoto? It's a pity that she didn't cut her hair short. I'd suggest it to her some other time. It feels like a girly thing like this doesn't fit Ruoyue's temperament——
Then it’s the turn of Ichirai Rena and Nishino Nanase, who have always had a good relationship with Ikoma Rina. The former, as the first generation academic master, is naturally not weak in speaking, and can express everything he wants to say and what needs to be said in a few words. When finished, it is as clear and concise as the question, without any sloppiness at all.
Although the latter has always struggled with conversation, Baiyunshan was particularly relieved this time. The girl's performance was extremely smooth, with no stumbling or incoherence, and there were no problems with the content of her speech. Compared with the previous ones, there may be some shortcomings, but For the girl herself, it can be said to have been a huge improvement.
At the end of the speech, photos were taken, promotional materials were given away, a series of processes. The young idols have the experience of the first two orders, and they are already very skilled. There is nothing to pick out, and Baiyunshan is in this section. I accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello from afar.
"Mr. Suzuki——"
"Bai Sang, you..."
The person speaking was naturally the Suzuki father and daughter whom he had just met. Mr. Suzuki looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing or crying. He shook his head and sighed: "Are you really just a small character? Sigh...I don't know how to laugh or cry either." I don’t know what to say. Anyway, thank you very much for taking the trouble to bring us in—"
"You don't have to be so polite. If you hadn't told us about this place just now, Mr. Suzuki, we wouldn't have been able to come, right? Tit for tat, there's nothing to thank you for."
Bai Yunshan said with a smile, then glanced at the little girl next to him, and added with a smile: "As for the meeting gift, I may not be able to give it to you directly now, but I will find time to send it to you, so don't worry."
"I know, thank you-"
Xiao Xuanyin replied while nodding her little head, bending slightly to thank her, while her eyes were fixed on the little idols not far away, not knowing what she was thinking.
Baiyunshan lowered his head and looked at the time, then waved his hand and said: "It's almost time. We will go to other places to promote in a while. Mr. Suzuki, just take your time and stroll around."
"See you."
"goodbye."
Baiyunshan waved goodbye, turned around and saw that the staff had gradually left the stage carrying cameras, and quickly followed them, leaving only the Suzuki father and daughter standing there.
Mr. Suzuki looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but said to himself with some emotion: "Thanks to this Bai Sang today, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come in this time..." .Haikus? This Bai Sang seems to be really hidden, and he actually has this ability. I used to underestimate the idol industry——"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at his daughter and said thoughtfully: "You have to learn more from others, you know?"
"Um."
Suzuki Ayane nodded obediently, then looked down at the third single promotional car sticker she had just received in her hand for a long time, and suddenly said: "Dad, I also want to be an idol——"
