The confirmed news was announced by Baiyun Mountain.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, in a grand scene, all the girls for this final review stood in front of the stage, and Baiyunshan read out the list himself. Every time a name was read, the corresponding girl came to the front. Finally, all eleven people gathered, and Sony's internal photographer recorded this precious moment.
The girls whose names were not read out had no choice but to leave the stage sadly, while the eleven girls who were successfully identified as the second generation students of Nogizaka46 could not contain their excitement. They looked at each other and talked to each other. Many people could not help but stay happy and relaxed. tears.
However, although the list has been determined, today's work is not over yet.
Next, the immature second-term students were told by the staff to gather in the predetermined lounge first, and there would be important announcements later——
In the brightly lit lounge, the girls are undoubtedly in a very relaxed mood.
After many selections, I finally broke through the final review and became the second generation student of Nogizaka46. Not to mention those pure novices who have little acting experience, girls like Yamazaki Reina, who made a guest appearance in Kamen Rider when she was a child, and is considered a child star, couldn't hide her excitement at this moment.
The atmosphere in the lounge was relaxed and noisy, and the girls were each busy with their own things: while Hori Mina called her mother at home to tell her the good news, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry with joy; Shinuchi Mai, after all, her age, Although he was also very happy, he didn't cry when he sent the message, and he still looked quite mature. And Ranyo Terada, who looked the weakest, was unexpectedly the calmest one, if not for the clear tone of voice. The vibrato in the song makes it almost impossible to tell whether it is high or not -
As for a certain Hinako Kitano, after happily telling her family the good news that she had successfully passed, she started laughing and chatting with the surrounding members like a husky that had escaped the reins -
No, to be precise, it can't be considered an approximation.
After all, there have been several selection processes. The girls have more or less met and known each other before. At this last step, they have definitely passed. It seems that they no longer have the same situation as competitors before, but have become the same Members of the same group should naturally get to know each other well and cultivate relationships.
Not to mention the eldest Shinuchi Mai, but also the youngest Watanabe Miriam Ai knew this. They both could see that they wanted to get closer to each other, so they naturally chatted with each other about the things they were interested in. topic, the atmosphere quickly became heated.
Of course, there are also socially awkward otakus like Sasaki Kotoko, who hesitated in her eyes when she saw everyone chatting happily.
Fortunately, there are members like Terada Ranyo who like two-dimensional anime, and her interests coincide with hers. Within a few minutes, they were chatting about the pros and cons of the recent new series with excitement on their faces. As for which seiyuu he was more interested in, he looked completely different from the cold-faced one before, which made Terada Ranyo feel a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, Karin Ito happened to overhear their conversation and became interested in this aspect and joined in, barely sharing part of the firepower——
Shinuchi Mai took advantage of her age and told stories about her experiences in college. Unexpectedly, she was very topical with Yamazaki Reina. The same is true for Ito Junna and Suzuki Aane. They seem to be born with perfect compatibility and chat with each other enthusiastically. The remaining Hinako Kitano and Mina Hori talked about topics more relevant to their own situations.
"Hey~ So Lan Shisang and Mi Mi Aisang already knew each other before they signed up for the selection?"
Horimina said in surprise.
"It's just a coincidence. I was planning to sign up at that time, and I met Lan Shi, so the two of us signed up together -"
Watanabe Mi Ai explained, then paused, and said with a smile: "Also, don't call me Mi Mi Ai-san, just call me by my name. We are all in the same period, it doesn't matter."
"Me too."
Next to him, Terada Ranyo nodded slightly.
"oh......"
Hori Mina was still a little hesitant, but Kitano Hinako on the other side couldn't wait anymore, and loudly said with a smile: "Blurred Ai-chan! Ranshi-chan!"
"Um!"
Watanabe's face remained unchanged, and he nodded and responded generously. The thin and thin Terada Ranze's face turned slightly red, a little embarrassed, thinking that just now, he said clearly that he could call his name, why did you just add him directly? The sauce is on, this is really embarrassing...
"By the way, apart from Lan Shi and Mi Lian Ai, do any of us know each other before signing up?"
Shinuchi took the opportunity to expand the topic.
Yamazaki Reina hesitated for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she raised her hand and said, "As for me... I actually signed up for the first-term students before, but unfortunately I didn't pass. However, I interacted with Sayuri-san Inoue in the first-term students. We know each other, we can be considered friends——"
"Eh~"
The girls were all amazed. They didn't expect that the plain-looking girl in front of them could have such a relationship.
"But when it comes to registration, I actually registered for first-term students before, but unfortunately I didn't pass."
Karin Ito sighed.
"Me too."
Sagara Iori hurriedly raised her hand as if she was afraid of falling behind. Seeing this scene, many girls couldn't help but sigh with emotion and whispered: "So, the seniors in the first batch are really amazing. From so many We don’t know when we will be able to catch up with the seniors who have been carefully selected from among the people—"
There was a bit of confusion in his tone.
Just when the atmosphere was a little depressed, the door to the lounge happened to be opened, and the important notice that had been announced before finally came.
Of course, the person responsible for the announcement was Bai Yunshan. He pushed open the door and walked in, followed by a few staff who were responsible for taking photos and recording. These things, as long as Nogizaka46 can continue to develop and flourish, will be important materials for future documentaries, and of course they cannot be wasted——
Looking at the faces of the girls who quickly quieted down in front of them and looked a little uneasy, Baiyunshan's expression did not change much. He also deliberately ignored the look in the eyes of the youngest one. He only said after two seconds of silence: "Congratulations, you have become the second generation of Nogizaka46."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly.
The applause inspired the other members, who looked at each other cautiously, and then clapped along with them. The clapping continued for a while, and then gradually stopped.
"However, this is just the beginning. You have become the second generation, which means you are officially a part of Nogizaka46. What you do represents what Nogizaka46 does, and your face represents Nogizaka46. Face. Therefore, before you make a decision about everything in your idol career in the future, I hope you can think carefully about what I said and then make a decision."
At this point, he seemed to notice that the atmosphere became a little tense and serious because of his speech. Baiyunshan smiled, breaking the heavy atmosphere just now, and said: "After talking so much, it seems that I have forgotten the most important thing, myself. Let me introduce, my name is Baiyunshan, and I am your manager. Although my last name is Bai, many of your senior first-generation students, including many of them, prefer to call me Baiyunsan. I am almost used to it, so you will just follow me. That’s it—”
"Baiyun-san——"
After speaking like this, the atmosphere did become a little more relaxed. The girls' faces relaxed a little and their moods also slowed down.
"It's hard for me to say what I am like here, so as not to brag. So in this regard, you still need to take the time to understand it yourself, or take the initiative to ask the seniors. In order not to spend too much time, I I just want to tell you some things at work and what you need to pay attention to next——"
Baiyunshan smiled and said: "You will have other agents in the future, who will be mainly responsible for arranging affairs, taking over the schedule and other tasks. They are actually similar to what I am responsible for. But before that, you need to spend one or two For many months, I will take classes at the practice place, mainly teaching songs and dances. You have to work hard on this part. Your class time will be staggered with the practice time of your seniors. I will arrange the specific location. Will be notified at a later time..."
"In addition, all social software and SNS accounts that have been used before need to be logged out uniformly, and no omissions can be left. You must pay attention to this part. Even if you have used it a long time ago and then have no use, you still need to report it. If you have any questions you don’t understand or don’t know how to operate, you can ask your broker for help. If you don’t remember your account and password, it’s a bit troublesome. It’s best to try to remember them as soon as possible, otherwise things will become very troublesome. .....”
It took about ten minutes to explain the matter, and finally everything that needed to be explained was explained clearly. In order to prevent the members from being unable to remember, or from forgetting or misremembering, another person later sent out a form of information, which densely recorded the subsequent itinerary and precautions, which was almost an expansion of what Baiyunshan just said.
Yamazaki Reina roughly understood the gist of the story with a glance. Kitano Hinako wrinkled her nose and looked at it for a long time, still a little confused. She quietly looked at the expressions of the girls around her, and then silently made up her mind: Well, I'd better go and ask directly later. They're done——
"Okay, that's pretty much it."
Baiyunshan lowered his head and looked at the watch. It was almost time: "Finally, congratulations to you for passing the final review. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and opened the door to leave. The staff and photographers next to him also left one after another. Obviously, there were other tasks to be busy next.
Silence returned to the lounge.
"Huh~ It's finally over. I'm really nervous. I didn't say any harsh words or a serious tone, but I just became nervous unconsciously——"
Kitano Rinako sat back on the chair and shook her head.
"It probably has something to do with identity and environment. After all, he is an agent, and he obviously doesn't look like an ordinary agent—"
Hori Mina sighed in a low voice, but her eyes were thoughtful, obviously remembering the scene at the hot spring hotel. When I saw this guy, I didn't feel the same way I do today. So, is this the entertainment industry...
"Hey, that's right!"
Silly Beibei suddenly remembered something, jumped up, put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "I'll secretly tell you a big secret. You must not tell it. The person who came to inform you just now is our agent." Ren Baiyun Sang... Actually, I have known him a long time ago!"
"Huh? Me too—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shinuchi's eyes widened.
Kitano Rinako's smile suddenly froze at the corner of her mouth.
"Ah~ I saw him at the handshake party too!"
"What? Do you all know each other? I met him before before I signed up. I thought I was the only one -"
"So does everyone know that Baiyun-san?"
The other girls were also suddenly startled, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and started chattering among themselves.
