Chapter 558: New Group Discussion
The team eventually returned after a night at the foot of Mt. Fuji, but He Yue and Ikuta barely lay down at about 4 a.m., and after more than an hour, they were woken up again and boarded on the bus back to Tokyo.
I don't know if Minami Hoshino, who came to wake them up, noticed that there were traces of people living in the only bed in the twin room......
After returning to Tokyo, Ikuta was called directly to the next job, and He Yue came to the office of Sony Nogizaka LLC.
She came over today mainly to talk to the company about the establishment of a new group......
The new troupe is expected to be announced next year, but the preparation must have started very early, and this preparation is not to choose a venue, plan to recruit, find a dance teacher, etc., the first thing to consider is the issue of investment.
Nogizaka's sub-group, the biggest investor is, of course, Sony, but the idol group is a big investment, and in addition to Sony, there are many small bosses involved.
For example, Kitagawa Kenji's family, Akimoto Yasushi himself will account for a few percent of the investment, and He Yue is almost like this, for Nogizaka, sharing risks is only a small reason, and connections are the key.
Aside from He Yue, Qiu Yuankang and other small shareholders, Sony's own money is the same, but Qiu Yuanyasu's influence in the idol circle is something that Sony does not have, and the potential shown by He Yue, and her superhuman maturity are also what Sony wants.
In fact, for Sony, they are also confused about how to do the new group and what it will look like, presumably the same is true of Yasu Akimoto, originally, what an idol group can become, not that one or two songs, one or two people, and one or two slogans can be influenced, but it still depends on a lot of specific situations and specific analysis.
For example, Toriizaka is being planned now, and the future Toriizaka, if you follow the name of Toriizaka to take the route, it may be a Buddhist group, and members such as Tie and Moriya are walking the avenue without dispute, turning hostility into a jade silk route, reciting Buddhist scriptures and asking the abbot to open the light CD every time a single is released, but in the end, the green Tsukizaka came, and the style of Akizaka has the credit of Akimoto Yasu's songs, the credit of the predecessor Nogizaka, the credit of the tie, and the credit of the choreographer Takahiro sensei, as for Sony, its influence may only be a very small part of itγ
On Sony's side, it's more just a funder, and it's this group of small funders who really run and give life to the idol group, and maybe even those who join later.
Today is the first time Sony has an appointment with He Yue on the issue of the new group, and after arriving at the company, she first received a series of planning materials from the other party.
From Nogizaka's data, to the goals of the new group, and the way of planning, He Yue is also amazed, it is indeed an international manufacturer, and these things are also very professional.
He Yue also took a closer look at various materials, these materials and many of the data in the planning book were not visible to ordinary fans in her previous life, such as statistics on the idol market, AKB, Nogizaka's specific sales data, before and after changes, forecast charts, handshake traffic, the average number of new fans each year, and the rate of fans who will go to the handshake to participate in the handshake......
After reading these materials, you will undoubtedly have a better understanding of idols, but on the other hand, seeing these materials, He Yue also filled his attention, these materials have a great use, but to do this kind of work, data can never be regarded as everything.
Sony is interested in He Yue and wants to persuade her to join the planning and operation of the new group in the future, which is of course what He Yue wants, and Sakurosaka is also a combination she likes very much, but what she really shows is that she doesn't care and doesn't care much.
"You don't want me to take on this new group again, do you?" He Yue asked.
"Are you interested? Of course, if you are a new regiment, then Nogizaka is probably ......."
"It's impossible, I can't change the part-time position, and is it really appropriate to start a new group now? Nogizaka hasn't established himself yet, right?"
Konno said: "You can look at the data, although we haven't completely taken off in CD sales, but the high-level data of the handshake meeting, as well as the amount of discussion on the Internet, we have caught up, and it is expected that by this time next year, our various data will increase significantly, and then coupled with our behind-the-scenes promotion, replacing AKB is already in sight...... Ah, I'm sorry......"
Konno said high, completely forgetting that the person sitting in front of him was also a member of the AKB.
As for the content of his words, surpassing AKB or something, He Yue doesn't believe it, in terms of single sales, even in 2019, Nogizaka is far from being able to surpass AKB, no way, the monster idol group with two or three hundred people shaking hands together has also compressed the number of singles to two singles a year, and its sales data is not comparable to Nogizaka's family.
Of course, the rise of Nogizaka in the next two or three years is also a matter of course, and He Yue does not deny this.
"Moreover, whether it is popular or not depends not on the data in front of you, but on these high-level data in our questionnaire, just like AKB in 2008, why did you dare to establish a new group even though its sales had fallen to the lowest point? Because AKB already had good enough high-level data at that time, the number of middle-level meals and handshake data of AKB at that time seemed very scary at the time, so Mr. Akimoto dared to open a new group again, and now it is the same, Mr. Akimoto is our confidence, with his check, as long as he nods, we dare to open a new group!"
Konno's words are also the essence of sycophancy...... Yasu Akimoto listened happily on the side, and He Yue slandered in his heart, the current Nogizaka is still very weak, so Konno is like a schoolboy in front of Yasushi Akimoto, and by 2018, or even 19 years, the representative of the operator of Nogizaka has become Konno, and Yasuya Akimoto, just like in AKB, has begun to gradually be excluded from the core of power, otherwise like Nogizaka's travel program, how can the name of Konno appear? If this program is produced in 13 or 14 years, it will definitely be crowned with " Mr. Akimoto, leave us alone, right?
Of course, Yasusu Akimoto is not a fool.,He has been holding the right to compose the words of the two groups in his hands after retreating from AKB and Nogizaka.,And his rights have not completely disappeared but have been transferred to the direction of Sakusaka and Hinatazaka.,That is to say,He has always held the power in his hands.,It's just that the direction of power is no longer the AKB and Nogizaka that he once opened up.γ
And He Yue's performance of not caring at all is actually related to rights.
To be precise, it is "shareholding" and "rights".
If you want to pull me into the gang, use my influence and potential, and let me lead a new group on TV in the future, then what price do you have to pay? A mere 3%, or 5% share? I'm sorry, although I am young, but I have a lot of money, and the share of tens of millions of yen a year may not be worth it, if you want me to join the gang, you have to give me more right to speak!
