Japanese big things

"Akimoto-san, Muramatsu-san has something to do with Nakamura-san?"

Seeing Muramatsu Toshiryo and Nakamura Masahiro getting up and leaving their seats one after another, Kitagawa Kenji couldn't help but tilt his head towards Akimoto Yasu and asked in a low voice.

"That's probably it... Let's just leave it alone. We won't get involved."

Glancing at Muramatsu Shunryo who was walking in front of Nakamura Masahiro, Akimoto Yasun pondered for a moment, and then responded to Kitagawa Kenji in a low voice.

Although I don’t know what Toshiryo Muramatsu wants to discuss with Masahiro Nakamura privately? But Yasushi Akimoto knows that he will definitely not be able to get involved.

Sony Entertainment has a huge business and involves many resources and businesses. Although Masahiro Nakamura is only a supervisor, the office he founded is also actively expanding its business.

Either in music or film and television, there is definitely huge room for cooperation between the two.

"I'm afraid it's about musical cooperation..."

Kitagawa Kenji tried his best to lower his voice and expressed his personal opinions in a low voice.

"Nakamura-san's movie single sold more than one million yuan, isn't it? Muramatsu-san probably has this reason."

Kitagawa Kenji did not mention film cooperation, because Toho and Warner have already established a production committee with Nakamura Masahiro's office, and they will definitely not let Sony join.

"It's possible..."

Akimoto Yasu agreed casually, unwilling to talk more, then raised his head and focused on the stage in front of him.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Kenji pursed his lips, silently retracted his gaze, and cheered up to look at the stage.

Although he really wanted to know what Toshiryo Muramatsu had discussed with Nakamura Masahiro, but as Yasushi Akimoto said, he had little to do with Nakamura Masahiro.

The only Kitagawa office that has some overlap was just established because of the need to run Nogizaka46.

After turning his messy mind around, Kitagawa Kenji found that he really had no resources for cooperation, so he could only suppress his unnecessary thoughts for the time being.

Nakamura Masahiro didn't know about the exchange between Akimoto Yasushi and Kitagawa Kenji, so he followed Muramatsu Toshiro step by step.

Under the gazes mixed with curiosity and doubt, the two people walked out of the venue where the final review of the selection event was taking place one after another.

As the opened door was gently closed again, the slightly noisy sound of the venue and the many gazes were isolated inside.

The corridor became quiet, and a slightly dim light shone on Nakamura Masahiro and Muramatsu Toshiaki, adding a dark atmosphere.

Suddenly, Toshiro Muramatsu stopped moving forward and looked back at Masahiro Nakamura who stopped behind him.

"I'm sorry, Nakamura-san, for calling you out at this time."

"fine...."

Unable to figure out what the other party was thinking, Nakamura Masahiro could only respond politely and carefully.

"I think I'd better be more direct."

Seeing Masahiro Nakamura's restraint and wariness, Toshiro Muramatsu gave up the idea of ​​being polite and spoke directly.

"Nakamura-san, do you have any idea of ​​releasing an album?"

"Album?"

Being a little confused by Muramatsu Toshiro's words, Nakamura Masahiro hesitated to confirm.

"Yes, I will release an album as a singer."

Muramatsu Toshiro confirmed in a positive tone. Seeing that Nakamura Masahiro was still thinking, he couldn't help but explain.

"I wonder if Nakamura-san has any ideas in this regard? Sony is very interested in Nakamura-san."

"Sorry, I have no interest in being a singer..."

Nakamura Masahiro shook his head directly and gave Muramatsu Toshiro a negative reply.

If you don’t have good supervision, you’ll switch careers to become a singer? Are you kidding me?

Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help complaining about Muramatsu Shunryo's whims. He had no problem with his mind and must stick to his supervisory position.

"Then Nakamura-san releases a movie single..."

Obviously, Toshiryo Muramatsu didn't believe what Masahiro Nakamura said: If he was really not interested, what would happen with releasing a movie single?

"It's just for the promotion of the movie, and I have a little hobby of singing occasionally..."

Nakamura Masahiro avoided Muramatsu Toshiryo's scrutinizing gaze, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"real?"

Muramatsu Toshiryo still maintained a skeptical attitude, but thinking of Nakamura Masahiro's supervisory status, his tone couldn't help but become a little lighter.

"If you don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Nakamura Masahiro pretended to be helpless and expressed his attitude. He had no intention of continuing to argue with Muramatsu Toshiryo.

"Nakamura-san, the soundtrack for the promotional video of "Antarctica" will be released as a full version of the single, right?"

Muramatsu Toshiryo did not continue to delve deeper, but casually cut into another topic.

"When TBS released the trailer and promotional video in the morning, the ratings exploded."

Nakamura Masahiro's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Muramatsu Shunryo who looked serious with some surprise.

TBS TV station released a trailer and promotional video in the morning. It was only a few hours ago. Toshiryo Muramatsu noticed it so quickly?

Did he notice it by chance? Or did he pay attention on purpose?

Masahiro Nakamura felt a little hard to judge, but considering that Toshiaki Muramatsu was the boss of Sony Entertainment, he probably wouldn't have so much leisure time.

Therefore, in his heart, he became more and more inclined to think that Toshiro Muramatsu was paying attention to this matter.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Nakamura Masahiro echoed Muramatsu Toshiro's words in a slightly exaggerated tone, and he forced a polite smile.

"After I handed the promotional video to the publicity class of TBS TV station, I didn't pay much attention to it."

This is true. Masahiro Nakamura rushed out the trailer yesterday, the last day of the weekend.

Afterwards, he was handed over to the publicity class of TBS TV station. As for when the announcement would be made, Nakamura Masahiro was really not sure.

He didn't expect that the progress in the publicity class would be so fast, and the trailer and promotional video was released this morning.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't know how good the specific effect is..."

After pondering for a moment, Toshiryo Muramatsu looked at Masahiro Nakamura and gave a very high evaluation in a sincere tone.

"However, according to my judgment, after the fermentation of this promotional video, the effect will definitely be surprising."

Such a high evaluation made Masahiro Nakamura a little confused about how to answer the question: If he were more modest, would it be considered hypocritical?

"If you are willing to cooperate, Sony will release the single promoting the video..."

After a pause, Muramatsu Toshiryo seemed to be thinking about it, and then he added again: "Sony is willing to offer generous terms and sign the contract with S-level treatment."

If Masahiro Nakamura was just a singer, Toshiro Muramatsu would definitely not offer such generous treatment.

But since Nakamura Masahiro's identity is a supervisor and he doesn't seem to have any intention of changing his career to a singer, he can only seduce him with benefits.

After all, the single "Long Day" sold more than one million copies, and Sony was really greedy.

There was no chance to cooperate before, so Toho Company got a huge advantage. Now that he has the ability to get online, Muramatsu Toshiryo naturally doesn’t want to miss it.

"Sorry, I'm really not interested."

The conditions offered by Muramatsu Toshiryo were indeed very sincere, but Nakamura Masahiro firmly refused.

Compared with Sony, which has a big business, Masahiro Nakamura prefers Toho, a company he has cooperated with.

Large companies are often very powerful, and Sony is no exception in the industry. Masahiro Nakamura has no intention of becoming a singer, so Toho's distribution capabilities are enough.

"That's such a pity, Nakamura-san..."

It seems that because he missed the single, Muramatsu Toshiro's tone was full of regret.

The two chatted politely for a few more words, and then ended the topic tacitly. Then, they returned to the venue one after another.

The final review of the selection event is still in progress, and one immature girl after another stepped onto the stage in front.

Without exquisite makeup or professional outfits, every girl looks like a rustic girl next door.

Although they all participated in the selection event with the idea of ​​being selected for Nogizaka46, to be honest, they really couldn’t see any star flavor?

"Hello fellow judges, I am Contestant No. 11 Sakurai Reika, from Tokyo, I am 17 years old..."

"The song I want to perform is "Kiss" by happiness...."

"Hello fellow judges, I am Contestant No. 13 Sayuri Inoue, from Saitama Prefecture, I am 16 years old..."

"The song I want to perform is "自分らしさ" by akb48...."

"Hello fellow judges, I am Contestant No. 20 Shiraishi Mai, from Kanagawa Prefecture, I am 19 years old..."

"The song I want to perform is "このままで" by Nishino Kara..."

Just like the process introduced by Yasushi Akimoto to Masahiro Nakamura: first introduce yourself, then review your singing ability, then answer questions from the judges, and finally walk on stage in front of the judges.

Some girls were very nervous and were not very fluent when speaking or singing. They glanced randomly and tried their best to avoid looking at the judges.

There are also some girls whose performance is very stable. They face the judges' serious scrutiny and still calmly deal with it.

Except for a few whose singing skills are acceptable, most of the girls' performances are quite average and have no highlights.

There are even some more funny anomalies: the singing is off-key, and even worse, the judges in the audience can't help but call a timeout.

The saying "singing can kill you" is probably used to describe the judges' true feelings.

After all, the singing standards for selecting idols are really very loose: if you can't even meet this threshold, it means you really have no singing talent.

"Akimoto-san, the threshold for idols is really low..."

Nakamura Masahiro turned his head and got closer to Akimoto Yasu, and complained feebly to him with emotion.
