On the 21st, the day when the sun shines, it was another sunny day.
Warm light fills the earth, the pleasant warm sun hangs high, and the gentle breeze makes people extremely refreshing.
Masahiro Nakamura went to bed early last night to recuperate his energy, so he looked full of energy after waking up.
After a simple wash, his slightly longer hair was tied into a slightly cute bun by Masahiro Nakamura.
With his handsome face and full youthful look, he looks like a male protagonist coming out of the anime world.
Grabbing his coat, Nakamura Masahiro put it on casually. Then, he quickly walked out of the hotel and got into the reserved taxi.
"Sony Music's Nogizaka Building...."
While closing the car door, Masahiro Nakamura politely reported the address to the driver.
Today is the final review of Nogizaka46 member selection, and the winner will be the first member of Nogizaka46.
Since accepting Yasushi Akimoto's invitation to join the production team that created Nogizaka 46, Masahiro Nakamura went to Sony Entertainment for the first time.
It’s not that Masahiro Nakamura doesn’t care about the girl idol group Nogizaka46, but he is very self-aware.
With Yasushi Akimoto's rich experience in producing girl idol groups, it actually doesn't matter whether Masahiro Nakamura is involved or not, he will naturally not cause any trouble to others.
Besides, why go through all the trouble when you can just lay down and split the money?
Isn’t it nice to get it for free? Nakamura Masahiro doesn’t know what it is like for others. Anyway, he enjoys this kind of cooperation treatment of less money and more money.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Akimoto Yasushi and Sony Entertainment invited Nakamura Masahiro to share their profits was because they took a fancy to Nakamura Masahiro's film and television resources.
If they didn't want to make up for the shortcomings in film and television resources, I'm afraid Akimoto Yasushi and Sony Entertainment might not invite Nakamura Masahiro to join.
After all, with akb48 at the forefront, everyone knows that Nogizaka46 will have huge potential and money prospects in the future.
The wheels turned rapidly, speeding along National Route 246, and then bypassed Akasaka Imperial Land.
About fifteen minutes later, the car successfully arrived at the Nogizaka Building in Rokkabancho, Chiyoda-ku.
"President..."
The car had just stopped and before Masahiro Nakamura got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man with a rough face walking up to him.
"Ichikawa-san, I'm not late, am I?"
Nakamura Masahiro paid the taxi fare, got out of the car, tidied up his appearance, and casually asked Ichikawa Harimichi.
"No, the president actually came a little early, and the review won't start for a while."
Ichikawa Haru answered respectfully, and then followed Nakamura Masahiro step by step into the Nogizaka Building.
"How do you feel? Are there any problems here in Nogizaka?"
Nakamura Masahiro walked forward slowly while talking softly to Ichikawaji.
From time to time, he would meet some busy staff members on the road, and Nakamura Masahiro would respond with a gentle nod to their respectful greetings.
"Everything is normal. Akimoto-san's ability is worthy of trust. Sony has also provided sufficient support..."
Ichikawa Haru gave a resounding answer. Although he had only joined the firm for a short time, he was an industry veteran who had recruited people, so he was familiar with the relevant work.
Oshiro Shoji took a fancy to Ichikawa Haru's rich experience in the industry, and considering that the cooperation in Nogizaka was a bit complicated, he arranged for him to come over.
After all, if an inexperienced newcomer is assigned to Nogizaka, it’s hard to say whether there will be problems, but there will definitely be troubles that need to be solved.
"As for the office, the necessary support must be in place... If there are any problems that cannot be solved, please contact Ojo-san and me in time."
Nakamura Masahiro whispered a few words, and after Ichikawaji opened the door, he strolled into the rather quiet venue.
Although the creaking sound of the door was not loud, it still attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.
In an instant, pairs of curious eyes turned to Nakamura Masahiro.
Suspicion, surprise, confusion, joy...all kinds of complex emotions flashed in everyone's eyes.
"Nakamura-san, you are finally here..."
He greeted Nakamura Masahiro with a smile on his face, and Akimoto Yasushi greeted Nakamura Masahiro enthusiastically.
"I thought you would miss even the final review."
"Qiu Yuan-sang, since you have agreed to come over, then I definitely can't break the appointment..."
Nakamura Masahiro responded to Akimoto Yasushi with the same enthusiasm, and then moved his eyes to the two people next to him.
"Hello, Nakamura-san, I am Toshiro Muramatsu from Sony Entertainment."
The middle-aged man who spoke was quite tall. He wore a pair of half-rimmed glasses and looked at Masahiro Nakamura with a solemn expression.
"Hello, I am Masahiro Nakamura...."
After suppressing some overflowing smiles, Nakamura Masahiro responded politely.
He didn't have a good impression of this rough-looking middle-aged man because the tough aura he exuded reminded him of Shimada Shinsuke who had just been taken away by the National Tax Agency.
If I remember correctly, Toshiryo Muramatsu seems to be a big boss of Sony Entertainment.
For him to represent Sony Entertainment, from a certain perspective, it can be regarded as reflecting the importance Sony attaches to Nogizaka46.
"Hello, Nakamura Masahiro-san, I am Kitagawa Kenji..."
The young man standing next to him has messy hair, is not very tall, and looks obviously thin.
"Hello, Kitagawa-san..."
If Masahiro Nakamura remembers correctly, this young man named Kitagawa Kenji is also a hidden boss.
According to the information collected by Shoji Oshiro, Kenji Kitagawa’s father is Naoki Kitagawa, the director of Sony Entertainment.
That's nonsense, it's just an idol group, how come it involves so many big guys?
Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help complaining in his heart. However, on the surface, he still had a passionate conversation with everyone calmly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Time flies, and with Yoshio Konno standing on the hosting stage at the venue, the final review of the selection event will soon begin.
Under the greeting of Yasushi Akimoto, Masahiro Nakamura, Kenji Kitagawa, Toshiro Muramatsu and others sat in the front row seats under the stage.
In addition to them, there were also many people sitting in other seats: about 30 men and women, all of whom belonged to the production team of Nogizaka46.
Carefully prepared paper and pens are placed on the table at each seat for everyone to record and discuss.
The stage in front was completely empty at this time. I wonder where the girls who participated in the audition went?
He must have been arranged to wait somewhere, right? After all, today is the final review of the selection event.
There is also a row of media reporters standing near the side with cameras or video cameras. They are either checking the equipment in their hands or communicating in a low voice.
"There are a total of 56 people shortlisted for the final selection round. The current arrangement is that each group of 10 people will be reviewed."
When Masahiro Nakamura was looking at the stage curiously, Yasushi Akimoto tilted his head and whispered to Nakamura Masahiro about the current status of the Nogizaka46 audition event.
"It starts with self-introduction, to the review of singing ability and answering questions from the judges, and finally to the stage walk."
"After everything is over, the members of the production team will discuss it together and then publish the final review results."
Nakamura Masahiro nodded silently. He was not very interested in Akimoto Yasushi's introduction. After all, his positioning was to serve as a mascot.
Creating idol groups is what Akimoto Yasushi and his production team are best at. Nakamura Masahiro has little experience, so naturally he will not intervene without authorization.
Professional work must still be left to professionals. Amateurs joining in are just causing trouble.
"Akimoto-san, are the children participating in the selection waiting in other rooms?"
After Akimoto Yasushi's introduction was over, Nakamura Masahiro looked around and asked him in a low voice.
"Um...."
Being choked by Nakamura Masahiro's jumping thoughts, Akimoto Yasushi's originally high interest gradually dropped.
He originally planned to tell Masahiro Nakamura about the selection process of Nogizaka46, but it seems that Masahiro Nakamura is not very interested?
This made Akimoto Yasu feel a little uncomfortable. He was busy and busy, but the partner didn't respond at all.
However, the hands-off situation of the partners was exactly what Akimoto Yasu wanted. Therefore, he could only suppress his complicated thoughts and continue chatting with Nakamura Masahiro.
"Today is the final review of the Nogizaka46 selection event. The members who pass the final review will be the official members of Nogizaka46..."
While Masahiro Nakamura and Yasushi Akimoto were chatting quietly, Yoshio Konno, who was standing at the host's desk, quickly finished his opening remarks and then announced the start of the final review.
After a while, a thin little girl who was not tall stepped to the center of the stage.
"Nakamura-san...."
Just as Masahiro Nakamura was looking at the girl on stage with great interest, a deep voice suddenly came over.
Subconsciously turning his head and taking a look, Nakamura Masahiro discovered that the person greeting him was Muramatsu Shunryo who was next to Akimoto Yasushi.
The confusion in his eyes was clear. Nakamura Masahiro didn't know what the Sony Entertainment boss wanted?
"Is it convenient to go out for a while?"
Muramatsu Junliang had a smile on his face, looking very embarrassed and feeling inexplicably inconsistent.
"I have something I want to talk to you about."
Nakamura Masahiro was a little hesitant. He was not sure what Muramatsu Toshiyō was thinking. However, Akimoto Yasushi took a very positive stance and chimed in in a low voice with a smile on his face.
"Leave this to me, Muramatsu-san and Nakamura-san don't have to worry."
"All right...."
Yasushi Akimoto said so, what else could Masahiro Nakamura say? He could only nod in response, and then quietly left his seat.
