"But no matter what, it's a good thing, isn't it?"
After a while, Akimoto Yasushi, who couldn't think of a reason, simply stopped thinking about it and patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder. There was an uncontrollable joking in his eyes, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Filmmaking is not an easy job. Especially for a comic-book action movie like yours, it will definitely be even more difficult to shoot. Just think of it as a kind of training for you. You can't lie down all day long on weekdays--"
"..."
Baiyunshan was speechless for a moment, knowing that his usual lazy behavior had already reached the ears of this cheap senior, and his expression suddenly froze.
Although it definitely seems like it doesn't matter from this look, the cheap senior in front of me is his boss's boss to some extent. He was able to come here and sit in such a position because of his efforts. It can be said that the situation is not ordinary embarrassing when someone is caught doing lazy things.
So he quickly changed the topic.
"By the way, Akimoto-san, I happened to have something to report to you this time -"
Akimoto Yasu suddenly became curious when he heard this: "Oh? What's the matter?"
"Well......"
Baiyunshan pondered for a moment, then carefully considered his words and said, "I want to...form a band!"
"Oh, the band."
Qiu Yuanyasu nodded calmly when he heard this, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up from the chair in a flash, and the table in front of him was knocked to the ground with a clang, and he raised his voice and said in surprise: "What? You want to form a band! Are you sure? Have you decided to leave here and pursue a career as a singer? Or did Sakamoto-san tell you something?"
Several questions were thrown out in one breath, and with the other party's expression, Bai Yunshan knew with his toes that the other party must have misunderstood, and quickly waved his hands and said: "That's not the case, Akimoto-san, I have no intention of leaving here. What I mean is that I want to select members to form a band within Nogizaka46——"
"Oh, I see."
Akimoto Yasushi was startled when he heard this, and then he fell back on his chair with a relaxed expression. It was hard to tell whether he was happy, sorry, or both.
In his opinion, it is a pity that the young man in front of him has such a talent, but he is willing to squander his time and waste his talent every day.
Especially when Mr. Sakamoto is leading the way, granting disciples the status to reach the sky in one step, while he acts as a behind-the-scenes coordinator of resources and escort. If you are willing to be a singer wholeheartedly, with your outstanding talent and excellent resource training, you are almost certain to be able to do well in the entertainment industry, become a famous singer, and gain both fame and fortune.
But if he was really allowed to leave and become a singer, Akimoto Yasu himself would be a little reluctant to let him go. Because the young man in front of him is really too talented. For a workaholic like him, although the other party's salty style has always been a bit objectionable, there is such a person under his command who can always hand over the results in the shortest possible time. The candidate who is satisfied with the answer will undoubtedly wake up from his dream with a smile.
After all, what does it take to truly master an idol group?
resource? Favor? Shares? Or is it a nominal position? There may be many answers, but in Akimoto Yasu's view, the most direct way given his position is undoubtedly to start with songs.
In the past, before this young man appeared, he only had the right to write lyrics for songs, but the songs still had to be selected from Sony's internal candidates. Although in the early days, everything needed to refer to his ideas and policies, and he had full control, once the idol group grew and the benefits increased, then Akimoto only had the nominal producer and lyrics rights. Kang, obviously the control will be greatly reduced.
Now with Baiyun Mountain, almost all the songs in every single released by Yasushi Akimoto are directly based on it, which undoubtedly increases the control ability in disguise. The best thing is that although this young man is actually one of our own, he is also a Sony employee in name. Therefore, even if there are any internal opinions on this, there is no reason to speak out. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
On the other side, seeing the cheap senior student stop talking after he finished explaining, Baiyunshan was also a little confused about the situation for a moment, and looked a little hesitant.
What's happening here? Agree or disagree? Why don't you say anything and just sit there in a daze? Didn't you explain it clearly just now?
Baiyunshan thought for a while, then finally cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, that's it, Akimoto-san, I plan to select people from within the members to form this band, mainly from under."
"As for the reason, from my observations during this period, some members have really good singing skills. As the main person in charge of the selection back then, you must know something about this. If it is just wasted under Time seemed a bit too much, so I thought about forming a band to try."
"Of course, I will be in charge of all the songs, so you don't have to worry about that. Moreover, a band formed by members has a lot of advantages compared to ordinary bands."
"First of all, as an idol, the band he formed also has some fan support to a certain extent. Coupled with the golden brand of Sony, the dual identity will definitely attract a lot of exposure. Secondly, as for the band, the songs are undoubtedly The most important thing is that even if the idol members are still some distance away from the singing skills of professional singers, they don’t need to be top-notch, they just need to sing well, and the rest can be made up for by the quality of the songs.”
"In this way, once the band attracts enough attention, it will definitely be a great improvement for Nogizaka46 itself. The members of under have found a place to shine, and Nogizaka46 itself will benefit from this and complement each other. Kill two birds with one stone.”
...
...
When Baiyunshan's eloquent words reached the middle, Qiu Yuanyasu finally came back to his senses and listened patiently.
Regarding the advantages he explained, Akimoto Yasushi was obviously non-committal. As a veteran who has been in the industry for so many years, he cannot say that he has understood the idol industry, but his seniority is undeniable. Kitty Club AKB48, every innovation and every change he makes is undoubtedly disruptive to the industry. Naturally, the pros and cons of this so-called band are very clear.
Of course, what Baiyunshan said before was not all boastful words, but the actual situation. He only tried to cut out as many possible bad aspects of this choice as possible to increase his persuasion.
After all, to put it bluntly, it is resources. Once there are sufficient resources, as long as the young idols are strong enough and rely on their own idol advantages to complement the team, it is not difficult. On the contrary, it will be a good story, an under member who is currently at a disadvantage. A good plan that can be called a life-saving straw for us.
In particular, the most important part of the song was borne by Baiyunshan, which can be said to have solved the biggest hidden danger of this band.
But the question is, why would he do this?
Yasushi Akimoto couldn't understand. Even if there were songs suitable for the band, couldn't he use them to make a difference for himself? Why do you do that? Could it be that he wants to take full control of this band just like he did with Nogizaka46? But what does this mean to him?
Qiu Yuanyasu didn't understand.
But no matter what, of course, objections are not objections. Regarding the suggestions reported by the young man in front of him, Akimoto Yasushi did not refuse, but nodded as always.
Seeing Akimoto Yasushi nodding, Baiyunshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he thought of something again. He hesitated for a moment and reminded: "By the way, Akimoto-san, please tell Konno-san about the creation of the band later." When speaking, please don’t say it’s my opinion, please express it is your opinion to the outside world, okay?”
"Don't worry, I understand."
Qiu Yuanyasu smiled lightly, of course he understood what he meant.
After all, between the two of them, there is Yoshio Konno, who is nominally the immediate boss of Baiyun Mountain. Although the two of them have a vague sense of equal status in terms of actual status, Baiyun Mountain is, after all, a Salted fish, of course, there is still no way to compare with the hard-working Konno Sang.
As his boss, Bai Yunshan directly bypassed him and reported to Akimoto Yasu for instructions on founding the band. If this was made public directly, it would undoubtedly make the other party look a little ugly.
Of course Baiyunshan would not do such a low EQ thing.
After everything was settled and the matter was discussed, Baiyun Mountain was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Akimoto Yasu suddenly remembered something and stopped him: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask you, what is the name of the band you want to create?"
"Name——"
Baiyunshan was startled, then smiled softly and said casually: "Let's call it Nogidan."
