"Sato-san, do you want to go back?"
"Well, you are filming here now. There is something going on at the company and I have to go back."
Outside a building, the Great Condor stood at the door, looking at Sato Shizuka standing in front and asked. A few days after Sayuri Matsumura's accident, the crew asked the Great Condor to go back. In Shizuka Sato's view, it was just a good way to avoid this period of heated public opinion.
"Ling ring ring~"
The mobile phone in Sato Shizuka's pocket rang. She took it out and took a look at it, then pressed it.
"The company is urging me, so I won't be here with you." Sato Shizuka frowned slightly.
"Um."
Originally, Nogizaka was quite urgent, but since the Great Condor had to return to Kamakura first, and the Great Condor was still young, Sato Shizuka was worried that she would go back alone, so they returned to Kamakura together. At this time, she had to rush back to Tokyo. .
Shizuka Sato picked up the bag on her shoulder, turned around and was about to walk to the station, but then she thought of something and stopped and turned back.
"Stay away from Maeda Wangshiro. Also, don't accept any interviews and don't talk nonsense."
"Uh...ah, I know." The Great Condor responded.
After receiving the reply, Sato Shizuka slowly left. It only took an hour and a half to take the train back to Tokyo from Kamakura. Including the journey back to the company, less than three hours after bidding farewell to the Great Condor, Shizuka Sato appeared in the conference room of the Nogizaka Building.
A group of people gathered in the conference room, most of whom were women, except for Yoshio Konno who sat in the center and Eru Sakamoto who sat next to him.
This room is basically filled with the members' managers. This time, all the managers were summoned because of the incident involving Sayuri Matsumura. Idol love is strictly prohibited, and their managers also have certain monitoring responsibilities. Matsumura Sayuri's manager looked ugly at this time, probably knowing that he would inevitably be scolded.
The nature of the meeting was similar to what Shizuka Sato had guessed. It was nothing more than an emphasis on the protection and surveillance of idols, as well as a strong criticism of Sayuri Matsumura's manager. She told everyone in detail that idols' private lives could be left alone. But as an agent, you must know about contact with the opposite sex. By the way, I once again emphasized the badness of Sayuri Matsumura's time this time.
"Do you understand everything?"
"Hi."
Everyone responded in unison.
"If anyone else has any questions, please ask now." Yoshio Konno put his hands on the table, looking like a boss.
"..."
There was a dead silence in the room. In this atmosphere, everyone wanted to get out quickly. After sitting here and being criticized for two hours for no reason, no one wanted to stay any longer.
"Okay... then..."
"Um, Konno-san, I have a few opinions, I don't know if I can tell them."
Just as Yoshio Konno was about to leave the meeting, a female voice came out. Yoshio Konno went looking for the voice. It was Sato Shizuka. He remembered every agent, but Sato Shizuka was definitely the one who impressed him the most.
"Tell me."
He really wanted to see what ideas Sato Shizuka had.
"As for what you just said, I don't think it's appropriate for Matsumura to apologize on the radio with Ikoma Rina tonight, including the apology arranged in the press conference. I don't think it is necessary."
"Don't talk nonsense here. The scandal involving Sayuri Matsumura is already a certainty. If she doesn't come forward to apologize, what kind of trouble will the fans cause?"
Sakamoto Eru, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"..." Sato Shizuka was silent for a moment. Although she wanted to retaliate, the status of the two parties at this time was obviously not the same. "Sakamoto-san is right, but I think that the online media spread News in newspapers and newspapers can certainly make more people aware of our attitude, but at the same time it also publicizes the scandal within our group. These media will only make the matter bigger and bigger. In my opinion, the memory of online media is only Seven days, newspapers fifteen days, if it goes by, most people will forget about it and focus on current hot topics. If we keep releasing news like this, it will be tantamount to keeping our scandal at a high point."
Sato Shizuka looked at Konno Yoshio and said word by word. Sakamoto Eru next to Konno Yoshio frowned but said nothing.
"But if you don't apologize, it doesn't make sense." Yoshio Konno said instead.
"Of course an apology needs to be made, but it cannot be spread by personally acknowledging the scandal and apologizing. When the time comes, tell Matsumura that at the handshake meeting, I will personally apologize to every fan who comes to shake hands. This is no more useful than apologizing in the media. ?After this incident, Matsumura is only controlled by true fans and anti-fans. Everyone has anti-fans, and naturally we cannot erase them. Therefore, the main target for Matsumura to pay attention to is true fans. When the time comes, let STAFF pay attention. If it is a negative fan, push it faster. If it is a true fan, push it as late as possible and let Matsumura apologize in person. When they get home, doing a repo on the Internet will definitely have a positive impact on Matsumura, starting from the 'victim' Wouldn't it be much better to single out the person who whitewashed Matsumura than to just whitewash it ourselves? Moreover, it was Matsumura who turned the white cloth of Nogizaka into black. Naturally, she had to be the one to remove the black from the gray. "
As soon as he said this, the people around him were talking quietly.
"Of course, this is just a suggestion from me." Sato Shizuka glanced at Sakamoto Eru next to Konno Yoshio with fear.
Sakamoto Eru's eyes never left Sato Shizuka.
"Gone?"
Yoshio Konno did not reject it on the spot, nor did he adopt it on the spot, but continued to ask.
"I have another suggestion. From now on, except for members who have foreign affairs and must live abroad for a long time, all members will be managed centrally. No more scandals can occur during this period. Otherwise, the hole in the boat has not been repaired, and another big one will happen. There are holes, and I’m afraid the ship will sink immediately.”
Konno Yoshio nodded but said nothing.
"Temporary centralized management. I remember that the dormitory in our building can still be used. Starting from...November. Now let them start packing their luggage, canceling the rent if it is time to return, and access control at ten o'clock in the evening. I believe the members They should cooperate well. And we should take advantage of this period of time to thoroughly investigate whether there is love in the group and find out as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible. We can't withstand the blow."
Sato Shizuka expressed her thoughts. In fact, it was a bit dangerous for her to do so. After all, she was a bit overstepping her authority. Shizuka Sato is now the manager of the great Condor. Now that the great condor holds the trump card of Kore-eda Hirokazu's movies, she has no worries about becoming the top player in the group in the future, but in this way, she will always be just a top manager.
Yoshio Konno wiped his face and looked at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
