Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 74 Phase II and Under
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

"Yes, please come in"

"excuse me"

Yesterday I was in the picturesque Izu Oshima, and today I came to Chiyoda, which is made of steel and concrete. Kurokawa Aoi didn't have much time to rest, so she was called by Yoshio Konno.

In addition to the inevitable Yoshio Konno, there are several unexpected characters in the room.

"Hello, Teacher Akimoto! Mom and Dad, why are you all here? Didn't something big happen?"

The place where they met today was at Nogizaka 46’s office, not at Sony’s Nogizaka building as usual. The other members basically wouldn’t show up here without any special events. In the dance practice room or conference room over there at SME, Konno-san will explain to them.

However, the big boss Akimoto-sensei appeared, and her own parents were also there. Even the meeting place was mysteriously avoided from other members, which made it difficult for Kurokawa Aoi to avoid thinking about the bad.

"Well, it's really a big deal, Kurokawa, sit down first, and we'll explain it to you slowly."

Yoshio Konno had already spoken, so Aoi had no choice but to sit next to her mother, and let Ms. Chloe, who hadn't seen her for a few days, kiss and hug her again. If it wasn't for a formal workplace, mother would have easily let her go.

Konno and Akimoto sat on the same sofa, facing the three members of the Kurokawa family, who were clearly separated from each other.

All the people sitting here are busy people who are busy with business affairs. Yoshio Konno directly entered the topic: "Today we want to discuss about Aoi Kurokawa and the next development plan of Nogizaka46"

"That Konno-san, is it okay for me to be here? It's reasonable for me to be present for my own development arrangements, but should my parents and I stay away from the team's overall development plan?"

Kurokawa Aoi couldn't understand what kind of routine this was, so she chose to retreat to advance, showing her position that she would not use power for personal gain, and use her parents' power to make herself a privileged class in the team.

"Aoi, we had a detailed discussion and communication with Konno-san and Akimoto-san, and we called you over after many discussions. Just listen quietly first."

Kurokawa Manto touched his daughter's head, giving comfort and analysis.

Aoi Kurokawa, who didn't know that she had been arranged by the adults, could only nod her head and be a quiet and beautiful girl.

"After a long time of thinking and repeated discussions in the operation, it has been decided that the recruitment of second-term students will begin soon!"

"!!"

Kurokawa Aoi was surprised but also understood that the recruitment of second-term students was inevitable, but she never thought it would happen so early.

"There is also a change in the structure of "Nogizaka 46 Contract Club". Regarding the fact that "KA Entertainment" will become one of the official shareholders, this proposal has been unanimously agreed by the rest of the shareholders and will come into effect after signing the contract. I think this matter is black. Chuan Sang can explain it to you."

Aoi, who was in a cloud of mist, looked at her parents with a puzzled expression.

"We established "KA Entertainment" as your grandfather and grandfather. The company exists so that we can indirectly participate in your development in Nogizaka46, and to plan and prepare for your current and future development after graduation. You don’t have to worry about the details, Dad and Mom will arrange it for you.”

Kurokawa Manto didn't want to reveal too much about their transactions and interest exchanges with various forces, and let them, as parents, bear the naked business operations of the adult world.

"Aoi sauce, as long as you can live happily. Tell me, do you like being in Nogizaka, enjoying the life you have now?"

Chloe stretched out her hand and gently stroked her daughter's cheeks, she was taller than herself in a blink of an eye, Aoi, who was still a child in her impression, seemed to have turned into a beautiful girl in front of her in a blink of an eye.The two of them were obsessed with developing their careers, and they didn't have much time to spend with their daughter as she grew up. So now they can contribute to their daughter's future, which is the greatest compensation they can make.

"Mom and Dad, actually you don't need to be like this. I don't need to be famous and rich in the entertainment industry. As long as I can be with my favorite friends, do what I like and enjoy the process, I will be satisfied."

Grabbing the palm of her mother on her face, Kurokawa Aoi said gratefully, she is not naive and ignorant, even if she is not completely clear, she can make all parties, including Sony and Yasushi Akimoto, willing to part ways For the cake in the cake, what my parents have to pay must be extremely huge.

"Silly boy, if you don't have power, you don't have the right to choose. If you don't have the right to speak, can you or your friends choose the job you like, embark on the journey you want to try, and live the life you want?"

Kurokawa Aoi was speechless at the words of her father, Kurokawa Manto. Isn't it just such a world of power games that they live in?Not to mention far away, isn't the selection of members determined by a single sentence from the operation?This is the right to speak.

After a moment of silence for a heavy topic that was more realistic, Yoshio Konno broke the silence.

"Then it's about Aoi Kurokawa's personal work arrangements. The most recent one is the catwalk of the brand "Snidel" that endorsed you at the "Girls Awards", and the rest of the scenes in "Doctor-X", You already know all of this, right?"

"Yes, the schedule manager Kiko has told me all about it"

Aoi Kurokawa nodded in response to Yoshio Kono's question.

"Well, until the end of the year, other activities are with the members, so we won't discuss it. Regarding the work of the coming year, we have received several invitations here, and I want to see what you think."

Yoshio Konno picked up a piece of paper on the coffee table and read it while reading.

"The CM endorsement invitation of Aoerbin/ALBION whitening powder includes video and print advertisements. The other is the CM of Haoshi/ハウスfood. In addition to the current cooperation with "Megasgaki", they also issued a personal invitation to you , as the endorsement for the new curry"

"There are also fashion endorsements. The first one is Snidel. They are very satisfied with your previous performance and hope that you can continue to be the spokesperson for the four seasons of 2013. Another brand called "sacai" also contacted us. I want you to be the endorsement for their spring and summer CMs"

After finishing speaking, Konno also gave Kurokawa Aoi a brief introduction of the company.

"Founded in 99, female designer Chitoshi Abe, once worked in Comme des Garons and is the second son of Rei Kawakubo, no wonder she can create very individual designs."

Aoi is also full of personal style, she will have a unique appreciation and preference for people of the same type.

"If you have no problem with the above invitation, the operator will discuss the contract with the other party in detail, and will notify you immediately when there is a result."

Over the past year or so, all the advertisements that Nogizaka46 has participated in have won the favor of advertisers and given them the opportunity of Nogizaka46 by relying on Sony's face and their business operations.

But Kurokawa Aoi is a client who comes to her on her own initiative, and the conditions she offers are very generous. When will other members become so popular and job invitations come in endlessly, then her job will be much easier.

After the beautiful image flashed in his mind, Yoshio Konno said, "That's all about the advertising and endorsement work for the time being. As for the other work arrangements, I will let Akimoto-sensei and Kurokawa-san tell you about it."

Akimoto Yasushi first nodded to Chloe and said: "Thank you Ms. Chloe for your strong support, Nogizaka46 will cooperate with Johnny & Associates to shoot the drama "BAD BOYS J", and will start shooting in the near future.Here I will give you a little detail, you, Hashimoto, Matsumura and Shiraishi are the main female characters, and the other members will also be given roles, although the focus of this drama is on boys, it is also Nogizaka46's first official participation in the drama!"

Hearing that her friends could participate in it, Aoi Kurokawa felt more excited than she had the opportunity to perform.

"Next is the arrangement of a variety show. I will let Ms. Chloe explain it herself."

Yasushi Akimoto strongly supports the Kurokawa couple's shareholding. If it is only about the operation of the idol girl group and the ability to write lyrics, he will do his part to handle all the big and small things by himself, without discussing with anyone at all.

However, he is just a person. To put it mildly, he is a talented and business-minded elite, but the reality is that he also encounters many things that make him powerless.

Unlike Sony, he is not a large multinational organization with great fortune and distribution channels, and has great influence on all aspects. He is also not like the Kurokawa couple, who have amazing connections and influence in the film and film industry.

Well now, Nogizaka46 can rely on Sony, and the Kurokawa couple have brought various resources in the entertainment industry invisibly. Not keen, for him Yasushi Akimoto, this is a business that only makes money but not loses.

"It's like this. Our Japanese TV station has a half-hour variety show broadcast at 3 pm on Sunday. It will end in March next year. After my fight, this program time will belong to Nogizaka46. I told After discussing with Konno-san and Akimoto-san, this program will be titled by Nogizaka 46LLC and NTV, and the condition is that you will be one of the chief hosts and a member of the production team to participate in the content creation of the program.”

Aoi Kurokawa, who was a little stunned, didn't know how to react, so she could only nod subconsciously to express her understanding.

"Also, I personally won the roles of two episodes for you, but if you fail to pass the audition, even if the people in charge are my friends, they will unceremoniously cut you off, because I don't want to Make it hard for them, see what I mean?"

Facing the serious mother, Kurokawa Aoi also nodded seriously and replied: "I understand, it will definitely not ruin the reputation of mother and friends."

Nodding in satisfaction, Chloe chuckled and said, "My daughter, I'm at ease! Now the two crews are still being created. The first set is expected to be broadcast in July next year, and the other set will be in October. The details , I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

"Father also arranged for you a role in a film performance, but it is a bit different from the past because this is a period drama, so there will be different attempts on costumes and many action scenes, but I believe that for You should be fine with these."

"Is it a period drama movie? How long will it take to shoot, and will there be conflicts with the filming schedule of the series arranged by my mother?"

Kurokawa Aoi was a little worried that she had arranged so many tasks, not counting Nogizaka's own work schedule, would she be able to handle it in terms of time?
"The script is still being created, and the shooting will start at least in the second half of next year, and your shooting schedule is also negotiable! You don't have to worry too much, we will arrange it for you."

As my father said, they will arrange these things anyway, and I just need to work hard to grasp every opportunity.

After thinking about it, Kurokawa Aoi asked a question that she was more concerned about: "Well, can I know more about the recruitment plan for the second-term students?"

"Of course, the recruitment plan for the second-term students is tentatively scheduled for mid-December, and it will be officially announced before the release of the four orders. The second-term students who pass the selection will be tentatively designated as graduate students, and then they will be promoted to full-time members according to the results of various courses. , the final selection list is expected to be announced at the end of March"

After Konno told Kurokawa Aoi about the plan for the second-term students in the operation, he saw the other party's thoughtful expression, and then he said, "Do you have any ideas? As an informal member representative, the operation is very important to you. The proposal will be seriously considered.”

Of course, now that Aoi Kurokawa still has the status of a shareholder of Nogizaka 46 LLC, even Yasushi Akimoto has to show some face, because behind the other party are the Kurokawa couple who hold a lot of power in the entertainment industry.

"I would like to ask, why do second-term students have a postgraduate system, but our first-term students don't? What are the reasons for implementing this system?"

At this time, Akimoto Yasushi took up the question: "The main reason is that our operation hopes to cultivate new members with potential, but we don't want to make the current members too dissatisfied. We feel that opportunities and resources have been divided, so we choose to quote AKB48's postgraduate system allows those good seedlings to pass the test of time and be recognized by fans before being promoted to full members."

"Thank you, Mr. Qiuyuan, I understand. But... how long is the graduate student process expected to take? How many resources are expected to be given to them during the operation? Also, will the resources of those under members be reduced because of this?"

Aoi Kurokawa's words made Akimoto Yasushi a little bit unable to answer, and his eyes turned to Yoshio Konno, who could only bite the bullet and answer: "The operation is now working very hard to find resources for the members, especially all kinds of colleges and universities. Festivals, mini live meetings in local shopping malls, CM endorsement performances, and various music shows, etc.”

"But the resources are really limited and there are so many members, so we can only allocate them based on the principle of the maximum rate of return, but we also try our best to take care of the under side, such as "Nogizaka is here!" According to the geographical origin of the members, they are arranged to appear on radio programs. For the second-term students, at the beginning, I really didn’t have much spare energy to take care of them, but I believe that with the overall development of Nogizaka2, the resources will gradually increase, and I firmly believe that everyone’s situation will improve accordingly.”

After hearing Konno-san's detailed explanation, Kurokawa Aoi also understood the difficulties in operation, but at the same time, it also showed that the under and second-year students will usher in a very difficult time. After thinking hard for a while, Kurokawa Aoi proposed own opinion.

"I have some ideas, and I hope that the operation can consider whether it is feasible. First of all, I hope that the second-term graduate student system can be abolished, because I feel that this is unfair to them. I understand the concerns and difficulties of operation, so I want to let under The members and the newly selected second-term students can participate in our new variety show, and I will give the management a detailed plan in a written report."

After finishing speaking, Kurokawa Aoi turned to her parents and said, "I'm sorry for being self-willed! Can I ask you to find some performance opportunities for my group members? No matter how big or small or what kind of performance, as long as there is an opportunity, they will be successful. , even for a few seconds of footage, extras or extras are fine.”

"Kono-san, Akimoto-sensei, I first apologize to you two!"

Aoi Kurokawa got up and bowed 90 degrees to the two people opposite, they waved their hands quickly and asked her to get up.

"I will try my best to find opportunities for the members, hoping to get permission from the operation to let them perform. Of course, those NG content will definitely not appear. I also hope that the operation can keep secrets from the members, so that they don't need to know the origin of these resources. Let them go to work happily and with peace of mind.”

Kurokawa Aoi's waywardness made her parents pay more contacts and resources invisibly, and leaned towards Nogizaka46, but this is a request from her favorite daughter, or is it out of concern for her teammates? This is a bit How could Aoi, Kurokawa Manto and Chloe, who are innocent but caring for those around them, refuse.

On such a day, a decision that changed the fate of the members of Nogizaka 46under and the upcoming 2nd generation students happened quietly.

　This chapter is the author's attempt to find some hope and opportunities for those members who have never met in this fantasy world. It is just a good wish in my heart. If you don't like it, please laugh it off, thank you!
