Japanese big things

Subsequently, Nogizaka46's roster candidates were confirmed one after another, and were unanimously recognized by Yasukazu Akimoto's production team.

According to the shortlist for the final selection stage, there were a total of 56 people, but after screening, only 36 people passed the final review.

If there are no accidents, these 36 girls will be the first official members of Nogizaka46.

"It's getting late. Let's finish our meal first, and then we can continue the work."

Qiu Yuanyasu raised his hand and looked at the time, and told everyone present the next arrangement.

Then, he called Yoshio Konno to his side and arranged for the girls to participate in the selection.

"Konano-san, please go and make arrangements for the children's meals. Make sure there are enough lunches in the boxes and there will be no omissions."

Although a single lunch box is not very valuable, once the quantity increases, the cost is actually quite high.

That is to say, now that Sony Entertainment, a big financier, is willing to invest, Akimoto Yasushi dares to act so grandly.

If it had been in the early years when akb48 was selecting members, Yasushi Akimoto would have been reluctant to make the decision to pack a box lunch.

In less than half an hour, several staff members came in with several large bags of lunch boxes.

Afterwards, members of the production team gathered around and took over the distributed lunch boxes one by one.

"Akimoto-san, Supervisor Nakamura, President Kitagawa, Representative Muramatsu..."

A staff member carried an individually packaged lunch box and delivered it to Nakamura Masahiro and others next to him with a very respectful attitude.

"Thank you...."

Nakamura Masahiro and others were not polite, thanked them casually, and then each picked up their lunch boxes and started eating.

Although everyone eats box lunches, there are big differences between different box lunches.

Not to mention the richness of the meat and vegetables, the exquisite packaging of the lunch boxes clearly shows the difference.

Nakamura Masahiro, Akimoto Yasushi and others are all big bosses in the relationship. Although there are no exceptions to open small stoves, the lunch boxes they enjoy are definitely higher-end.

The members of the production team were also very adaptable, and they all ate their lunches happily without taking this differential treatment to heart.

Japanese society has always paid attention to class order, and those at the top naturally have better treatment and enjoyment, so they understand this very well.

On the contrary, because they were eating in the same room, the presence of Nakamura Masahiro, Akimoto Yasushi and others made them feel a little restricted.

Everyone tried to lower their voices as much as possible while eating in order to maintain a quiet atmosphere in the room and avoid disturbing the bosses.

"Akimoto-san, Shimada Sensuke, this guy is really unlucky..."

Suddenly, Kitagawa Kenji stopped eating and handed his cell phone to Yasushi Akimoto next to him.

"Look, Weekly Wenchun has come out with some shocking information about him again..."

With a gloating expression on his face, he kept asking Akimoto Yasu to take a look.

"Yoshimoto Kogyo helped him refute the rumors before, and also said that he would sue the media who spread the rumors. Instead, he was hammered by Shukan Bunshun."

"Even a photo of Shimada Sensuke and the gang leader Hirobumi Hashimoto was released. Now Yoshimoto Kogyo's president Mizutani Nobuhiro may have to come out and bow and apologize..."

"Those guys at "Weekly Bunshun" are really awesome. They are worthy of the famous Bunshun Pao."

"Shimada Sensuke had previously sworn to deny that he had no contact with members of the violent gang, otherwise he would commit seppuku..."

"That is to say, he has been arrested by the National Taxation Department. Otherwise, the media reporters will definitely not let him go easily."

Kitagawa Kenji kept chattering and seemed to be really interested.

Muramatsu Toshiryo on the side couldn't help but stop eating, and glanced calmly at Nakamura Masahiro who was eating quietly.

He knows much better than the younger generation Kitagawa Kenji. The reason why Shimada Sensuke is so unlucky is largely due to Nakamura Masahiro.

As far as he knew, among the many media outlets that criticized Shimada Sensuke this time, some people were actively cooperating with them.

Otherwise, even if Shimada Sensuke's incident becomes a big deal, he will not be attacked by a group of people like he is being hunted.

However, Akimoto Yasushi's expression was a little complicated. He just silently glanced at the news on his phone, and then continued to eat his lunch.

"Sorry, Akimoto-san, I almost forgot, you also have issues with "Weekly Bunshun"..."

Noticing the wistful expression on Akimoto Yasushi's face, Kitagawa Kenji came to his senses somewhat belatedly.

Although it is human nature to rejoice in misfortune, I am afraid Akimoto Yasushi would not be happy when he saw the news about Shukan Bunshun.

After all, Akimoto Yasushi has a long-standing feud with Weekly Bunshun, and the akb48 he created has been targeted by Weekly Bunshun.

Taking back his phone angrily, Kitagawa Kenji quietly ate his lunch and continued to browse the news.

For a moment, the scene returned to a quiet atmosphere again. Masahiro Nakamura finished picking up the lunch box, stood up and threw the lunch box into the trash can next to him.

"If anything happens, please let me know and I'll go out for some fresh air..."

After nodding at Yasushi Akimoto, Toshiryo Muramatsu and others, Masahiro Nakamura walked out of the room.

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Nakamura Masahiro walked through the corridor, planning to find a place to relax.

Although he had not participated in the discussion much before, the lively atmosphere still made Nakamura Masahiro a little tired.

It's like attending a company meeting. The boss who is giving the speech may not feel tired, but the employees below will definitely feel nervous.

"Director Nakamura...."

A staff member passing by saw Nakamura Masahiro and quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Um...."

Nodding slightly, Nakamura Masahiro responded noncommittally, and then walked past.

After rounding the corner, Nakamura Masahiro walked straight for a while, and then stopped in front of a window.

Outside the window is the clear blue sky, which makes people feel open-minded. In the distance, row upon row of buildings fill the field of vision.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Below is a quiet alleyway, with wires as dense as a spider web, dividing it, and pedestrians walking in twos and threes.

Signboards of different colors were hung above the door. Because they were a bit far away, it was not possible to see the specific store name clearly.

"Oh, there's no energy at all..."

Sighing sadly, Nakamura Masahiro stood in front of the window, looking at the outside with dull eyes.

Although he attended as a representative of the partner, the mascot-like positioning troubled Nakamura Masahiro.

Even though he had made corresponding mental preparations in advance, as time passed, he could not help but feel a little irritable.

"President?"

A slightly hesitant voice sounded, and Nakamura Masahiro subconsciously turned his head and glanced, the person coming was Ichikawa Haru.

"Why are you here?"

"Ichikawa-san?"

Although he felt a little surprised, Nakamura Masahiro didn't think too much and responded to the other party naturally.

"I came out to get some air, the room is too stuffy."

"President, have Akimoto-san and the production team confirmed the final review list?"

Ichikawaji stood next to Nakamura Masahiro and asked Nakamura Masahiro for news in a respectful manner.

"Roughly the same...."

Nakamura Masahiro thought about it, and it seems that only 36 people passed the final review. If nothing else happens, those girls will be the first official members of Noban Board 46.

"Those children were very nervous. They were still talking during the meal, worried about whether they would lose the election."

Ichikawa Haru smiled and mentioned the girls who signed up to participate in the Noban Board 46 audition event.

"There's no point worrying. If you're not favored by Akimoto-san and the production team, you definitely won't be selected."

Nakamura Masahiro smiled. He could understand the thoughts and worries of those girls, but he was helpless.

His firm did participate in the investment of Nobanban 46, but it only provided funds and film and television resources, and would not specifically interfere with the operation.

On the one hand, I don’t have that much energy, and on the other hand, I trust the professional ability of Yasukazu Akimoto’s production team.

After all, it is not easy to run an idol group, especially a large idol group with a large number of people like Nobanban46.

Not to mention ordinary firms, even Sony Entertainment, a large and powerful company, can't do it and needs the cooperation of Yasushi Akimoto.

For now, the most professional authority figure in Japan is probably Yasushi Akimoto, who is known as the godfather of idols, right?

"I don't know what the selection criteria are for Akimoto-san and the others? I remember akb48's selection philosophy seems to be rough stones..."

"President, actually you don't have to listen to Akimoto-san and the others to talk about so many concepts..."

Ichikawa Haru took over the conversation and explained to Nakamura Masahiro in a professional tone.

"The so-called rough stone concept and different styles are just one way of development."

"The essence of Akimoto-san is actually to try every means to defraud money from fans."

"Ichikawa-san, do you think I don't know?"

Nakamura Masahiro blinked, a little helpless at Ichikawaji's straightforwardness, and asked directly.

Of course he knows that Yasushi Akimoto's ideas are just routines, and their purpose is just to defraud fans of money.

But the problem is, there are so many producers who want to defraud fans of money, but Akimoto Yasushi is the most successful, so there must be something unique about it.

"President, Simimasai..."

When asked by Masahiro Nakamura, Ichikawaji immediately reacted and quickly bowed to apologize.

Although his boss Masahiro Nakamura is young, he is already a well-known supervisor and must be aware of the essence of Akimoto Yasushi's ideas.

He volunteered to talk like this, which seemed to show his professionalism, but he was just trying to be smart.

"Ichikawa-san, I know you are an old man in the industry, and you also know the things about Akimoto-san..."

After staring at Ichikawaji in front of him for a moment, Nakamura Masahiro gave serious instructions.

"However, I still hope that you can stay humble and low-key, and learn from Akimoto-san."
