The next few days passed very quickly.
The long-awaited first-anniversary live show came out. The outstanding performance, a series of promotions, and a blockbuster hit by Ryuichi Sakamoto, a ceiling-level figure, undoubtedly caused a huge stir in the entire circle. wave.
Since its birth, this idol group has attracted a lot of attention one after another. This time it can be considered that it has truly completed its transformation, officially entering the field of vision of the general public from the media's perspective. Even ordinary people who are not that familiar with the idol circle can quickly think of it when they hear the name Nogizaka46: Ah, it was Sakamoto Ryuichi who announced his retirement from the idol group during their live session——
The massive attention has naturally brought considerable benefits, and during this period, as the apparent leader, Yoshio Konno, the chairman of the operating committee, was in extremely complicated moods.
Of course, I am happy. During this period, the entire group is thriving and showing unprecedented prosperity. Anyone can see it, and he is certainly no exception. The list of related resources has been enriched by an incredible amount. Many partners who once needed to think twice, or were simply indifferent, have now almost completely changed their attitudes.
Whenever I hear the word Nogizaka, I can't help but ask curiously, is it the idol group that held an amazing live a few days ago? After receiving a positive reply, his tone became significantly more relaxed.
Even when he was drinking with the company's senior executives, he could clearly feel the change in those people's attitudes towards him, and their kindness seemed like a dream. Even Yasushi Akimoto, who usually spends most of the day busy with his own affairs and has been less and less involved in meetings and plans recently, made a special phone call to him to praise him for his good work this time——
Although no one knows better than him, this live actually has almost nothing to do with him, but it does not prevent him from waking up laughing in the middle of the night——
However, although I am happy, it is not without worries. Especially after such a major incident, within the entire team, anyone who pays a little attention to this aspect can find that the influence of a certain young man is obviously becoming more and more important. Bigger——
Time came to March, and Baiyunshan's previous movie "Rurouni Kenshin" was finally officially released. It was not much different from the previous predictions. The movie was a huge success as soon as it debuted!
Fun fighting, excellent plot, distinctive characters, and tight rhythm. It can be said that all the elements required for an action martial arts film have been completed to the extreme, especially the scenes of fighting and killing. This kind of realism, which is completely dependent on the actors' own skills and camera shooting, is completely unmatched by any special effects today. I don’t know how many people who went into the cinema were all excited and excited!
The high scores given by film critics, the excellent reputation of the audience and the high box office made the film top the box office in the first week at an astonishing speed, and then it started to head towards the first month box office list in less than three days. The intensity of the sprint can be imagined——
In addition to his popularity in the outside world, his influence within the operation has obviously also improved a lot with this success, and his words have become more and more weighty. However, this may not be the case for Yoshio Konno. Something to be happy about...
Although they were actually on the same side, no adult man would mind the power in his hands, even him. But it happened that the guy was asked to be in charge of the first anniversary live, which was something he personally nodded to. The follow-up development was also quite satisfactory. It can even be said that it has exceeded expectations by an unknown number of times. There is absolutely nothing to criticize. Even he was helpless.
You can only watch someone's status rise step by step, getting closer and closer, and even gradually showing signs of being equal to him. Fortunately, he is not worried about his position as chairman of the committee. After all, the relationship disputes involved are not just about merit and influence. No matter how powerful this young man is, he cannot squeeze himself out.
In addition, he also understands that that guy is completely a salty fish, and even if he is allowed to compete with him for power, he probably won't have much interest -
However, it is certain that I have mixed feelings. To be able to achieve my current success, someone’s contribution is obviously indispensable. On the one hand, I am grateful for the achievements in this regard, but on the other hand, I am worried that if I continue, my position will be really threatened. What should I do?
Fortunately, not long after, he accidentally heard a piece of news from the other party. Although it was not stated clearly, the message revealed in the words made him feel relieved.
The attitude has completely softened as a result.
So a few days later, almost in the middle of March, Baiyun Mountain received such news.
...
...
"Final review?"
In the corridor, Baiyunshan was shocked as he looked at Chuan Jingai in front of him.
"That's right, Konno-san has decided that on the day of the final review of the second-generation students, the two of us will be in charge on site."
The look on Chuan Jingai's face also looks quite good. The team has achieved such great success, and his status has naturally increased. Not to mention related powers, the salary alone is enough to make him happy for a while. .
Now that I have received such good news, I am naturally even more happy: "To be precise, it is Bai Sang who is the main one, me as the assistant, and several other censors... But those people know That’s it. In the end, it’s up to you to make the selection and judgment. I’m just here to introduce you to some relevant information and things you need to pay attention to—”
Baiyunshan nodded slightly, suppressing the surprise in his heart for the time being, but he still couldn't help but asked curiously: "But it's just the two of us? Where is Konno-san? Where is Teacher Akimoto? Logically speaking, they should not be responsible for this kind of thing. ?"
"Imano-san had some important things that needed to be done during that period. As for Teacher Akimoto, coincidentally, he was the one who asked Bai-san to participate in this final review by name -"
"Really......"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Baiyunshan's eyes, and he subconsciously touched his chin slightly, vaguely understanding the meaning expressed in it.
It is certainly a joy to have him participate in the final review and have the final say.
Apart from anything else, at least in his capacity as an agent, with such an experience, the familiarity with the selected second-term students will definitely be much faster, and the relationship will be closer. Although... I am afraid that even he himself may not be clear about this purpose. In fact, to a certain extent, he has already achieved it——
In addition, being able to let him take charge of such an important matter already represents a certain signal. It could be understood as compensation for the possibility of him leaving Nogizaka, it could also be said that he was showing sincerity to retain him, or it could simply be a matter of trusting his vision. As for how...it depends on different people.
only--
But I still vaguely remember that I sent out several invitations. I don’t know what the situation will be like that day. Will those people show up?
If you think about it, even though it's the final review, it's still quite interesting...
Baiyunshan squinted his eyes and said nothing, his eyes thoughtful.
