"New song?"
The members all looked refreshed, their faces full of anticipation.
It’s not surprising that they performed like this. As mentioned before, the establishment of Nogi and the increase in popularity brought about by the first song were very important. For the girls, especially the members who are not currently undergoing selection and lack resources, such a song is almost as important as the selection position——
Baiyunshan nodded and said: "Yes, and it is a very important piece of music. I need you to master it as soon as possible, because soon, you will have the time to perform it -"
"Soon? When?"
The impatient Sera Zero couldn't help but ask in a second.
"Well...you will know when the time comes——"
Baiyunshan smiled mysteriously, but kept it secret and did not say anything clearly. After holding on for two or three minutes amid the angry and dissatisfied reactions of the members, he finally said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll just reveal a little bit, just a little bit. , Well... no later than February——"
"February?"
The members were all thoughtful. They didn't expect that the time would be so short. Then they couldn't help but secretly worry. It would take more than a month at most, excluding the time they usually practice singing and dancing with everyone, really. Want to practice mastering this new song together?
Xiao Feiniao, who was closest to him, expressed his views directly.
"Don't worry, I'm still here -"
Baiyunshan smiled confidently and said, "Have you forgotten how you learned this piece of music before?"
The girls were all startled when they heard this, and then nodded slightly in unison.
The actual practice time for their first song was actually not that long, only about half a month. Although there were some subtle differences between the requirements at that time and now, this aspect is enough to show how terrifying someone’s teaching level has reached——
Especially the few members present who have been taught by him one-on-one, they can understand the shock of the other party completely crushing the music for you and then feeding it into your mouth bit by bit. Not to mention Kawamura Mayo and Nojo Aimi, who are relatively skilled in this area, even the youngest Xiao Asuka basically has no obstacles when facing his teaching. The level of improvement has improved by leaps and bounds, even if it is not The members of Dozigu could clearly hear how huge the difference was from before, and they couldn't help but be amazed——
After all, the girls have discussed in private more than once that even the teachers they usually have contact with in Nogizaka should be far from the level of Baiyun-san, and they don’t know how he did it——
However, when they thought of the title that the guy in front of them had once won, and the legendary achievement of being able to complete a song by brushing it like a human printer, they felt relieved. Otherwise, they are geniuses. There is a gap between the level of geniuses and ordinary people. Teaching them is like a college student teaching elementary school students addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It is not surprising that they will have such an effect——
Watching the girls, they began to excitedly discuss the next new song. Baiyunshan said nothing with a smile on his eyes, but his thoughts couldn't help but drift to what he said to his old boss Yoshio Konno when he came to the SME building this morning. if.
...
...
"What? You said you want the commanding rights for the first anniversary live?"
In a certain conference room, Yoshio Konno stared at the young man standing in front of him with a surprised face, scratched his chin and said in confusion: "Don't you already have it? Although there are executive supervision and other staff plans for this kind of thing, But when it comes to the members, I will still ask you for instructions. You can just decide on your own when the time comes. What kind of command do you want from me?"
"No, no, no, this is different-"
Baiyunshan's voice was methodical and leisurely, but the words he spoke surprised Yoshio Konno: "What I want is not power similar to final decision-making, but command power. The so-called command power... ...That is, I have all the power over the entire live planning including the final decision. Including the selection and order of songs, the layout of the stage, the scheduling of personnel, and even all plans that may arise at that time, etc.——"
Yoshio Konno said in surprise: "Do you want to take full responsibility?"
"Yes."
Baiyunshan nodded without any hesitation.
Yoshio Konno narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He glanced at the young man in front of him in surprise. It was impossible that the other person didn't know what it meant to say such a thing.
Asking for the power to take full responsibility, even though it was only during live broadcasts, for him as the chairman of the operating committee, it was tantamount to weakening some of his rights. As long as he is not a fool, it is impossible for him to agree outright. If that is the case, why should he say this to attract attention for nothing?
"Also, I would like to ask Konano-san, how do you plan to arrange this first anniversary live?"
Obviously Baiyunshan could also see the true thoughts of Konno-san in front of him. Seeing that he was silent and did not answer, he took the initiative to speak and changed the topic to ask.
Yoshio Konno didn't think too much, and just talked casually according to the plan in his mind out of habit: "I'll probably sing all the songs so far, and finally promote the new single. It was only February when the live was held, So you definitely can’t choose an outdoor venue but an indoor venue. It’s easier to arrange. After all, it’s the first anniversary live. It doesn’t matter how outstanding it is, it just needs to be satisfactory and satisfy the fans who come to watch the live. "
"I guess so."
Baiyunshan laughed and commented leisurely: "Konano-san has always been prudent in everything he does. This is not surprising."
Prudence comes first... Konno Yoshio blushed. To put it nicely, he puts prudence first, but in fact he also knows that to put it harshly, it means that he has no innovative courage and ideas. This was once criticized by Baiyunshan. A certain cheap senior student had scolded him vehemently, so naturally it was impossible for him to forget all about it so quickly——
When he came back to his senses, he only saw the young man in front of him casually pulling up a chair and sitting down, saying, "But, I still want to ask Konano-san, what do you think the significance of holding an anniversary live is?"
"significance?"
Yoshio Konno was stunned, and after thinking for a while he replied: "Returning profits, testing popularity, accumulating experience... That's pretty much the only meaning of live, right?"
"You're right. But...you can also add one more thing, that is, as long as it is done well, live can actually be the key to increasing popularity——"
Baiyunshan crossed his hands on the table, looked at Konno Yoshio in front of him, and said confidently: "Konano-san should have heard of words such as "god scene", right? Although I am not confident that I can definitely create a similar god-level However, we are still very confident in creating a first-anniversary live that far exceeds fans’ expectations and even causes the external media to judge us——”
"you?"
Konno Yoshio looked at him in disbelief.
"Konano-san should know about Nogidan, right?"
Baiyunshan said suddenly.
Yoshio Konno nodded: "Of course I know."
More than knowing, this matter can be said to be one of the things he envies most about the young man in front of him recently.
After all, despite being the chairman of the operating committee, in fact, most of the selection decisions of the members are made through voting at the plenary meeting. Although he also has some decision-making power, most of the time he can only make suggestions and opinions. If he really wants to make a decision, it is really not his turn. Even the young man in front of him may not have a certain degree of influence. How inferior to him——
Especially the Nogi group, they are even more greedy from the bottom of their hearts for such a group that has full control and responsibility. However, he also knows that he does not have the talent or ability in that area. If he is really put in charge of the operation of Nogi Group, they may have to disband the next day. After all, he has no ability to write music——
"Looking at the current situation of Nogi Group, I personally feel that I can still shamelessly say that it is successful, even though it has just started. However, there is such an example before, I think, if I say that I can make this first anniversary live If it’s done well, it shouldn’t be a big talk anymore—”
Baiyunshan said slowly.
Konno Yoshio couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The fact is indeed what the young man in front of me said. Regardless of his ability and qualifications, the other person seems to be qualified for the job, and he seems to have no reason to refuse.
Although it seems that this will weaken some of his rights to some extent, compared to the overall and longer-term interests, this right is nothing at all. After all, as long as there is a committee and a cheap senior from the other side, , as the chairman’s first manager, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is just a migrant worker who takes the blame——
And the more important point is that the young man in front of him can actually express his attitude directly to Akimoto Yasu without asking him for instructions, and the result will be the same...
This was something Yoshio Konno suddenly thought of just now because of Nogidan, but the young man in front of him did this. This means that he takes his nominal boss seriously, even though he is actually now In terms of power, they are actually not much different, and it is precisely this that makes Yoshio Konno feel very comfortable——
So without hesitating for too long, he made a decision on the spot: "Okay, then I promise you that the planning of this first-anniversary live will be entirely left to you, Bai Sang."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, I just hope you don't disappoint me."
Konno Yoshio stood up with a smile and patted his shoulder.
Baiyunshan also smiled, but he breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart, and said slowly: "Don't worry Konano-san, this one-year anniversary live will definitely make all fans, including external media and magazines, look at us with admiration. !”
"That would be perfect."
Imano Yoshio nodded slightly.
