"Hey, Sato-san, walk slower...ha~"
On the high floor of Nogizaka Building, Shizuka Sato walked in front, her high heels making a slapping sound on the floor, and the Great Condor followed behind with a sloppy pace, as if she had just woken up.
"Didn't I tell you that I was going to see Konno-san today? Why did you stay up so late?" Sato Shizuka was obviously a little nervous and spoke much faster than usual.
"You just told me last night...and they played until midnight last night."
"Stop staying up late, work is important."
"Yeah, I know, I know." The Great Condor responded seriously, feeling that Sato Shizuka was gradually becoming closer to her mother.
"Speaking of which, Eagle."
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle's health...is he okay?"
"He's still like that. As you know, that disease can't be cured. You can only live with it. I don't know if he still smokes."
Sato Shizuka calmly looked back at the Great Condor, whose eyes were a little lonely.
"Let's go quickly."
Sato Shizuka did not continue this topic, and led the Great Condor directly to Konno Yoshio's office.
The time was extended to two hours after the concert ended yesterday.
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Downstairs, members were playing and playing, but upstairs, middle-aged people were sitting near a round table, silently. One of them, a fat man with eyes, was particularly conspicuous.
At this time, Yoshio Konno came in from the door wearing a formal suit and holding a document bag in his hand, greeting everyone in the conference room. There was also a man in a suit following behind him. He didn't look very old. He was considered a young man in the room.
Yoshio Konno sat next to Yasushi Akimoto.
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's get started." Akimoto Yasushi gave a signal to Konno Yoshio.
Yoshio Konno nodded, turned to the man in the suit and said, "Qingyuan, please report."
"はい."
The man in a suit named Qingyuan bowed slightly, then stood up and took out a note from his document bag.
"Let me briefly explain the situation of Nogizaka46's third anniversary this time. From the beginning to the end, it lasted 7 hours and 30 minutes, and a total of 73 songs were disclosed. The ticket sales, the estimated 38,000 seats were fully occupied, and cameras were used during the performance. The number is 34. The total number of staff, including the rehearsal period, is about 2,500. Including renting the stage, the total expenditure is about..."
Yokono Kiyuan looked at the data on his notebook and reported everything to everyone in detail, including all the expenses and income of the anniversary concert, as well as the problems that occurred during the period.
"The above is reported." Yokono Kiyogen bowed slightly to Akimoto Yasu, and then sat down.
"Yes. Has the rental fee at the venue come down?"
"It's expected to arrive tomorrow."
"Have the cooperation negotiations for the subway station been completed?"
"It's been negotiated, and we can go on March 1."
"Then put it on the agenda, sooner rather than later, Konno."
"Um."
Akimoto Yasushi was like a big boss listening to his employees' reports. This meeting lasted for more than an hour.
"Okay, the third anniversary can be considered a success. At least there were no accidents." Qiu Yuanyasu took the lead in applauding, and others also followed suit. "Is there anything else you want to add? Konno."
"Hero, this was given to me by Director Hirokazu Kore-eda today." Yoshio Konno raised the document bag he just brought in.
"Kore-eda Hirokazu..." Akimoto Yasushi was a little confused.
"Yes, we are accompanied by Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa and Kaho." Yoshio Konno said.
After Yoshio Konno finished speaking, a small discussion broke out in the conference room.
"For the great god?"
"I'm afraid so, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to the concert. And I still have to pay out of my own pocket." Yoshio Konno said this and wanted to laugh.
Three well-known actresses in the industry and a well-known director spent their own money to buy tickets for their little idol's concert. If Yoshio Konno had known about this in advance, not to mention the tickets, he would have wanted to move a sofa for the four of them to sit on the stage and watch.
Exaggerated, exaggerated.
"He gave me a document, take a look at it."
Yoshio Konno handed the document bag to Yasushi Akimoto, who untied the belt and pulled out the document inside. The text on it was printed on the mirror of his glasses.
After a long time, Akimoto Yasushi put down the document.
"Cannes... The great master has rearranged his schedule for May and will come to Cannes." Yasushi Akimoto obviously takes this matter very seriously.
"Okay, I understand." Yoshio Konno nodded and said, but he paused for a while and said, "However, I recently heard from the members that the Great Condor seems to be willing to graduate."
"Graduation? Are you kidding me? Talk to her tomorrow." Qiu Yuanyasu wondered if he heard wrongly.
"はい."
"At least we can't let her graduate so quickly. If appropriate... we can promise some benefits and you can weigh it yourself."
Akimoto Yasushi hesitated for a while, but still said this to Konno Yoshio.
"Okay, I'll contact her agent now."
"Meeting dismissed."
From the perspective of fans, small idols may attract the attention of thousands of people, but in fact, to people of Yoshio Konno's level, small idols are like tools. If they break, there are many spare ones, so there is no shortage of them. Your entire group will be unable to function.
The same goes for Great Condor, she has a very pretty face, which is indeed her asset, but it does not mean that she is indispensable.
But there is one thing that the Great Condor has, but the other members do not have, and that is resources in the film field. It cannot be said to be resources. It can be understood as connections. The Great Condor participated in Kore-eda Hirokazu's movie. Unexpectedly, it has attracted the attention of LLC executives. This time, four people including Haruka Ayase came to watch the concert on the third anniversary and sent an invitation letter to Cannes.
If it's just an invitation letter to Cannes, they don't have to come in person. Let the agent send it, let the company send it, mail it, there are many ways. But when the four of them come, the nature is different. To put it in a more intuitive way , it was the big condor that caught up with the four lines of the four of them.
The importance of these people to Da Shenying may be three friends who are like sisters, and a middle-aged uncle director who is gentle and treats her very well. But what LLC executives are interested in is what these four lines can do for Da Shenying in the future. benefits.
The Great Condor is the second generation of Nogizaka. In other words, this is also for the sake of Nogizaka. It is assumed that the Great Condor can become famous outside the village with this movie. With his good appearance, he will definitely attract a lot of fans from passersby. When they arrive, When you are young, you will be interested in the Great Condor, and then you will try to get to know her. Then you will definitely know about the group Nogizaka. If you don’t worry that these fans will be able to resist the beauty of other members, Nogizaka’s reputation will naturally become more and more famous. .
This is one of them.
Secondly, Yasushi Akimoto plans to use the Great Condor as a stepping stone. The movie "Sea Street Diary" has not yet been released, so we don't know how much impact it will have in the end. But judging from the cast and director, even if it is a stepping stone At the end of the street, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There is no problem in showing off in front of the Japanese people.
If this movie is successful, then the Condor, as the protagonist, will definitely become famous all the way, and the income will naturally be much greater than the previous condition. By then, there may be resources to find her. But there is also a risk, that is, other firms come to poach people, and the LLC has no right to stop the Great Condor from leaving, so it must find a way to keep her.
CBS Sony, the predecessor of Sony Music Entertainment (SMEJ), was originally a joint venture between Sony Corporation and the American CBS Group in 1968. SMA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMEJ that specializes in actors, only started exploring in 1993, a late start. However, because Sony has its own film company and also invests in movies, Naituan has also relied on Sony's connections in the past to cooperate with various directors and get personal bonuses for its members.
However, the resources for film and television dramas are somewhat scarce. So far, the members have not appeared in a few TV dramas, such as "49" by Nishino Nanase, "Naked Summer Lovers" and "LOVE Theory" by Hashimoto Nanami.
In the future, as the reputation of the Great Condor becomes more and more famous, she can be used to help Nogizaka open up the market for film and television resources. This kind of opportunity is rare for Nogizaka. No matter what the outcome of "Umi Street Diary" is, the Great Condor will have it. The reason for being left behind.
This is why Akimoto Yasushi agreed that when Konno Yoshio negotiated with the Great Condor, he could promise some benefits. After all, he was a fifteen-year-old kid, and he must be able to fool him with a small benefit and a few cakes.
With the addition of the Great Condor, the chess pieces in Akimoto Yasu's hands are complete.
In the village, other members such as Nishino Nanase, who has a cute and soft style, attract fans.
Outside the village, Mai Shiraishi is one of the leading figures in the fashion modeling world. She was hired as an exclusive model by "Ray" in early 2013, and is also Nogizaka's first exclusive model member for a fashion magazine. At the end of 2014, he released his first personal photo album, which sold 31,807 copies in the first week, ranking first in the photo album department of Oricon that week. Photo sales have skyrocketed. With the name of Mai Shiraishi, other members have gradually emerged in the modeling industry, such as Asuka Saito, who was recently signed as an exclusive model.
In terms of musicals and stage plays, Erika Ikuta, who was born in Dusseldorf, Germany, is definitely the best in the group. In June 2014, the Nogizaka46 stage play "16 Protagonists Trois" dominated the main ten acts and was also the group's top performer. The only member who attended the first and second acts of the 16-person stage play three times, she also starred in the musical "Overture to the Rainbow" for the first time in October of the same year. LLC also intends to let her develop in that direction and help her win. Resources, it can be said that the future is promising.
In fact, what's bad about Akimoto Yasu, oh no, maybe what's bad about Nogizaka is that he happens to be a chess piece in the film and television industry, the Great Condor.
A large net called 'Nogizaka 46' is gradually covering the entire Japan from the bottom of the sea.
"Dong dong dong."
"Enter."
Shizuka Sato opened the door, and the Great Condor followed her into the office. Unlike last time, Yoshio Konno was also sitting in the guest seat, waiting for them.
