"Hello everyone, thank you very much for participating in the selection of our Nogizaka46." Hayato Minakami did not directly announce the list, but made some preliminary preparations.
"After today, a total of 36 of you will start your idol careers in the entertainment industry with the name Nogizaka. The rest of you, unfortunately, after our comprehensive consideration, are not suitable for the group Nogizaka for the time being."
"However, you were able to stand out from tens of thousands of people and enter the final selection. During this period, most of you performed very well. It can be said that many of you are suitable to continue in the entertainment industry. We hope that in the future I can see you in the entertainment industry. As far as I know, many entertainment agencies are actually very interested in you..."
It's like saying "You have entered our company's talent pool" when you are brushing someone off during an interview.
As for such kind words, Mizuna Hayato also said them very politely.
Of course there is some truth in it. For example, another firm has contacted them and is willing to take in some of the people who have been dismissed.
But in the final analysis, Minakami Hayato was just saying something that no one could offend.
As the saying goes, be polite first and then attack. After saying the polite words, it is time to officially announce the list.
"I will now announce the list of Nogizaka46's first-generation students. Please ask the members whose names are read to step forward." Hayato Minakami picked up the list and read it one by one in the order of the five tones.
"Akimoto Manatsu..."
I have to say that it would be a bit too cruel to have everyone involved in the final selection appear on the stage together, and then start announcing the selected and unsuccessful candidates after just a few minutes of polite words.
It's like an intersection, with success on one side and failure on the other. People with surnames in front of the fifty tones began to cry softly when they realized that they had no chance.
Mizuna Hayato was doing such a cruel thing. When he noticed that someone on the stage could no longer bear it and began to cry, he also heard the sound of flashing lights and some whispers from the media seats behind him.
He had no intention of being such a man who made the girl cry, but this was the best result they had negotiated.
Generally speaking, the selection of a group is conducted internally, but Nogizaka, under the intentional or unintentional "proposal" of Hayato Minato, decided to conduct a public live broadcast on the Internet for the final selection. Since the process is fully public, of course the outcome must also be public.
The live camera in the venue was running all the time, and the middle-aged photographer shot a close-up of the face of the crying loser without emotion.
In the Nogizaka live broadcast room at Station S, the screen is filled with comments of sympathy, comments that are happy for being selected, and comments from fun people... etc. The live broadcast room is specially pushed in the background. The heat is rising.
This method may be cruel, but for Nogizaka, a group that is about to take shape, this kind of buzz is exactly what they need most.
At the same time, for the newly selected members, watching the completely different atmospheres of the friends who have been around them for more than a month being rejected and selected, it happened to be an extremely vivid lesson for them before they truly entered the entertainment industry.
Maybe you don't work hard enough, maybe you don't have enough talent. Every step in the entertainment industry will filter out a group of people. In the end, only a few will stand at the top of the pyramid, and they will stay there for decades.
Of course, from the perspective of Hayato Minato and the others, Nogizaka's management and members have gained something, but it does not mean that those who were unsuccessful have gained nothing.
Since Nogizaka46 is not a single company behind the group, the final selected members are composed of opinions from several aspects, so those selected may not necessarily be the most popular, and those eliminated may not be less talented than others.
For those girls who are talented but are not suitable for this group, this is a blessing. Just like Mizuna Hayato said, an entertainment agency has already contacted them, and their people are now Perhaps he was observing the barrage of those who felt sorry for the losers in the live broadcast room.
It is not difficult to imagine that the girl who was screened out but gained some popularity during this period may later receive contact from other agencies and embark on the path of the entertainment industry in another way.
However, no one knows how many of them can only rely on their temporary popularity and young and beautiful body and appearance to take some photos and embark on the path of photo idols. Maybe some people can take another path, and it may not be possible to become popular.
...
After all the members are announced, it’s time for the “meet-and-greet” of the selected members.
Minato Hayato and the others gave them some time to calm down and let the losers leave the stage. Afterwards, they adjusted themselves one by one and took the stage for the first time as "Nogizaka46's first generation", like the media and the audience. Introduce yourself.
In this session, it is not Hayato Minato's home field. It is mainly for other people to talk about their expectations for them and their comments after their self-introduction and talent show.
After listening to comments from several members, Hayato Minakami felt that Akimoto Yasushi was obviously prepared. He relied on his many years as an idol group producer to provide each member with a "personality" reference and recommend them to be suitable in the future. path to take.
Yoshio Konno is like an old father, smiling and full of compliments, always talking about the small details that shined during their training.
Fujiwara Nao is the most pragmatic. She directly announced the official debut time and the recording of the debut single. She also talked about the production of an exclusive variety show, which gave the media behind her a lot of exciting news to write about.
Mizuna Hayato basically didn't speak. After all, he really didn't pay attention to them. If he was asked to express his opinion about them, he might just say something like "your legs are very straight and beautiful."
Then again, none of the first-generation members selected by Nogizaka46 seemed to have bad-looking legs. Minato Hayato was quite satisfied with this. Listening to the comments of the other three, he openly looked at the pairs of white and tender legs under those pleated skirts. Tender legs.
"Hello everyone, my name is Saito Asuka, I am 13 years old."
The appearance of his younger sister made Minato Hayato finally focus a little more. The two little guys, Saito Asuka and Hashimoto Kanna, stopped contacting him very much after participating in the Nogizaka audition. Nagano Meiyu explained to him that they were doing this to avoid suspicion. .
Minato Hayato disagreed with this, but he respected their intentions.
Seeing the two little guys looking happy after being selected, Mizuna Hayato couldn't help but smile like an old father.
"Look at them, they are awesome." Hayato Mizuchi elbowed Nao Fujiwara: "Where are your little ones?"
After playing Tomb Raider for a day, the weekend is over?
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone
Happiness belongs to everyone, not me
