Everything is just as Baiyunshan said.
There is not much time left for him. The filming of the movie is about to start. By then, he will definitely not have time to run back and forth and can only focus on filming. Once this happens, the affairs of the little idols can only be put aside for the time being, or handed over to Chuan Jingai and others.
However, other things can be handed over, but there is one thing that must be done by him personally.
That is Nogidan.
As the initiator and the main person in charge at the moment, as well as the producer who provides lyrics and music, and even provides guidance on practice to cultivate tacit understanding, no one except him can do this job at the moment. And Baiyun Mountain does not want anyone to replace itself, so it has been busy with this matter for a while, and now it has finally achieved preliminary results.
After the latest dog fighting recording ended, the little idols left one after another, and only a few people were stopped and taken to another lounge.
"I suddenly informed you to come here today because I have something to announce."
Baiyunshan's eyes swept over the girls' faces one by one. Some looked anxious, some were calm, and some looked confused, as if they didn't know what was going on.
He didn't show off, and said straight to the point: "I believe that you have probably heard some relevant news, so... can Ai Wei——"
"Ah-hi!"
The girl with a cheerful and interesting personality never expected that her name would be called suddenly. She subconsciously trembled and shouted out, looking up at someone. However, Baiyunshan didn't seem to have the intention to stop and say something to her, but continued to read.
"——Nakagen Hikaru, Fukawa Mai, Kawamura Mayo, Nakata Kana, Nagashima Seira, and... Saito Asuka."
As the last name was read out, Baiyunshan looked away, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "After the selection, you have been selected as the first generation members of the Nogi Group. Congratulations."
After saying that, he took the lead in applauding.
Nogi group?
The girls subconsciously clapped along, some of them looked very understanding, as if they had already guessed that they were likely to be selected into the Nogi League, and they looked relieved. Some of them looked a little confused, as if they didn't expect to have their own names at all, and they were surprised and at a loss.
But I'm still happy in the end.
After recovering from the initial surprise, the girls started chatting and cheering excitedly. Even the eldest Mai Fukawa couldn't calm down and hugged Hana Nakata happily.
Sera Rei's loud voice stood out in the laughter. Nojo Aimi's eyes widened when she was surprised. Kawamura Mayo looked visibly relieved. Her purpose of becoming an idol was to be like Ayaka and Nishino. For a female singer like Kana to become a member of Nogi, she has already taken a crucial step.
Zhongyuan Riyaxiang secretly squeezed her palms, feeling slightly excited. Since the beginning of the girl's idol career, her experience has not been smooth. She has failed to enter the selection for four consecutive singles. This is a blow to a girl who wholeheartedly wants to become an excellent idol. Now being able to join Nogi Group is obviously a shot in the arm for girls.
As for the little Asuka... when he found out that he had become a member of the Nogi group, he had his little face turned up and jumped up and down with joy. His sweet and naive appearance made people completely unimaginable that there would be a secret in the future. The existence of birds——
Baiyunshan looked at the happy faces of the girls with a smile. He did not rush to announce what was going to happen next. Instead, he made them happy for a while. When the time was almost up, he cleared his throat, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: " There is also good news...the place for the Nogi group to practice has also been decided."
...
...
Located in a basement in Shibuya Ward.
"This is it."
Baiyunshan turned on all the lights, and under the bright light, the appearance of the practice field was immediately visible.
The little idols behind them filed in one after another, and were soon shocked by the scene in front of them. They couldn't help but let out a series of praises. A certain little bird even had a mouth that was so big that it didn't close for a long time.
"This is--"
"Amazing!"
"It's a real band!"
What appears in front of you is a spacious space with a variety of equipment, which is dazzling.
In addition to the instruments needed for practice, there is a simple stage, recording equipment, microphones, speakers, and even the lighting effects needed for performances. There are also two pianos next to it. The sound is crisp and sweet, and you can tell at first glance that it is expensive.
In addition to these, there are long tables, benches, sofas and bars, as well as projectors and special screens, which are used to play back practice videos and summarize experiences and discover shortcomings. There are even drinks and snacks arranged like a dining car nearby. However, considering that there is currently only one Fukawa Mai in the Nogi group who is considered an adult, the alcohol content in the drinks can be ignored, and most of them are just fruit drinks.
But even with so many things, the space still doesn't seem to be crowded. It is spacious and comfortable for both body and mind. The ventilation is also very good, and it will not make people feel stuffy after staying for a long time.
"Is this the place where we will practice in the future? It's unimaginable, it's so amazing——"
A girl whispered in surprise.
Of course it's awesome.
Baiyunshan said in his heart.
After all, this place was borrowed from the practice venue used by a well-known band through the help of Mr. Sakamoto. Even the relevant equipment was not wasted and was kept directly. Everything is well-equipped. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is definitely not the kind of practice place you can just find in an open space or a room. It exudes professionalism inside and out.
"These equipments should all be left over from the past, right? Gibson's guitars, Yamaha's drums, this kind of professional equipment is really amazing!" Kawamura Mayo stared at the instruments with bright eyes and guessed it at a glance. The origin of it.
"Yes, and for such a big place, the rent alone must be quite high, right? Even though the Nogi Group has not even started yet, it is a bit shameful that they have spent so much money on us. It feels like there is a heavy burden on our shoulders. He has gained a lot of weight...Can we really do it?" Mai Fukawa said a little unconfidently.
"Well, don't say that, Mai Mai. If you don't say anything else, I am very satisfied just knowing that I will practice here in the future -" Nojo Aiwei sighed matter-of-factly while shaking his head.
"Hey hey hey, I don't just need you to practice here -"
Baiyunshan made a funny comment and said easily: "I hope you can work hard and try to bring out Nogidan's signature, so that all my hard work will not be wasted. As for other factors, you don't have anything to do with it. But what I’m worried about is that I can only tell you that the money spent is not as expensive as you think.”
However, having said that, after witnessing such a luxurious scene, do you want to treat it as lightly as his tone, especially if you can do it casually?
At least not the girls.
Although they didn't say anything on the surface, the little girls glanced at each other in unison and silently recorded this important stroke in their hearts. For the first time, they had a solid understanding of the name Nogidan.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. It's here now, so let's practice and give it a try first."
Baiyunshan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said slowly: "The song to be practiced is also the first song of the Nogi group, although it may be a bit difficult -"
"But I believe you will like it!"
