Chapter 181: Sister and Brother Night Talk
"Have you ever thought about what you would do after graduation?"
"Graduation? Didn't you just get me to Nogizaka 46? Thinking about me graduating so soon is really an idea for a while!"
It's already 10 o'clock at night after eating the ramen, and the shop is starting to pack up and get ready to close.
The two walked side by side on a moonlit night, and the streets were sparsely populated, so they relaxed.
"What's the matter, just ask, didn't my sister never think about what she would do after graduation, or what to do after quitting the circle?"
Idols are like athletes, they all eat youth, and once they are past their peak, they have to think about the way back.
Jun Watanabe believes that her sister must have considered this aspect as well.
"A-chan (Atsuko Maeda), Yushu (Yuko Oshima)...... went to be an actress (actress), Mariko created her own fashion brand ricori in addition to filming, Tomomi Itano became a singer, and some got married and gave birth to children to concentrate on being a housewife......" Mayu Watanabe muttered, seemingly looking a little confused.
"It seems that Mariko Shinoda's brand has long since gone out of business, and it has been in the news before. β
"It's also true that in addition to doing idol-related work, we really failed. β
"Failure?" Watanabe Jun thought to himself that the original AKB was completely different from the current Sakamichi system, at that time, it would be good to be poor and white to recruit people, and most of the participants in the fundraising were members of some "waste wood" attributes, Mayu Watanabe, who was addicted to two-dimensional ACG, and Haruka Shimazaki who couldn't even sit on the tram alone......
AKS, the office to which AKB belongs, has a bad reputation, and after Kyoraku became the owner, it completely degenerated.
Compared with Sony Music behind the Bandao system, it is completely inferior in terms of fame, positive influence, and social favorability.
The relocation of the center of the Akimoto Yasu, the decline of the 48 series was inevitable.
"Can't you let go of 'Bookstore Girl?'" Jun Watanabe sighed, the shadow of the poor ratings fiasco of the first main battle still haunts her to this day.
made her less certain about her path to being an actress.
Now the TV stations don't dare to invite me to act in TV dramas. Mayu Watanabe looked a little frustrated.
"Ever wondered...... What about a different profession?" asked Jun Watanabe tentatively.
"Changing careers? You know I started being an idol when I was very young, and when I left this business, I really didn't know what else I could do? Unless, ...... Find someone to marry?Be a housewife?Strange, why doesn't anyone come after me?" Mayu Watanabe looked depressed.
"Are you a housewife?" Jun Watanabe almost laughed off his big teeth, like Yuko Oshima, Mayu Watanabe also has the attribute of "uncle", and he can't fight the gentle and virtuous lady.
Don't look at Mayu Watanabe's debut for many years, in fact, he is only 21 years old this year.
Whether it's graduation or quitting the circle, it's not that urgent at all.
"What do you want to do?" Mayu Watanabe looked at him suspiciously.
"If the day after tomorrow wins the first place in the single selection, you will either retire from the circle. Jun Watanabe finally said what was in his heart.
"Quit, you raise me?" my sister pinched his ribs, "I have a bad idea! Without saying a word, he got me from Ogi to Watanabe, and without saying a word, he took me as Nogizaka 46, do you know that there are still some rice inside AKB that are calling me what now? Traitor, they actually call me a traitor, it's really angry with me, and obviously you are the one behind the scenes!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. β
Jun Watanabe snickered when he saw his sister's deflated expression.
"You're still laughing, and you say you didn't mean to?"
My sister caught up and wanted to hit him.
Jun Watanabe suddenly turned around and said, "Sister, do you want to go to college to study?"
"I'm still going to study at this age?"
"It's just to see and learn, learn some conceptual things, and by the way, help me manage the company. β
"You started a company?"
"Well, Seven Degrees Music Entertainment, Silverstone Leather Goods, I originally wanted to start a mobile phone company, but I gave up after thinking about it too many constraints. β
"It's the recently launched Seven Degrees Music app?It's very easy to use.,Full of functions.,We have AKB's songs on it.,But you're a green diamond and a member monthly subscription.,Some singers' singlesγAlbums are also purchased for an additional fee...... Isn't it too much money. β
Mayu Watanabe hugged his brother's arm and complained, this is a small boss, and it is only right to hurry up and please him.
"There's no way to charge that, you have to let the singer eat, right?"
"That's right, but the homepage recommendation, why is it Nogizaka every day? When will you give AKB some homepage recommendation?"
"Sony Music is one of the shareholders of Seven Degrees, which ...... You have to sell a little face to the shareholders. β
"Anyway, you have a point, cunning fellow!"
"What I just said, do you want to think about it and come to the company to help me!"
"What can I do at work?"
"Music or film and television content production, artist management, etc., these should not be difficult for you. I will find seniors to take you, plus go to school to learn some professional theoretical knowledge, at most less than a year, I think you will be handy. Jun Watanabe is full of confidence in this, and Mayu Watanabe has one of the biggest advantages, which is focus.
A dedicated and persistent person will look good in everything he does.
Jun Watanabe feels that her sister can live well even if she leaves the idol industry and break into a new world of her own.
"If you're tired of this circle, I can invest in opening a beauty chain, a clothing store, a hot pot restaurant or something, don't you like to eat barbecue? We can also open a barbecue restaurant, what two-dimensional maid coffee shop, AKB next-era ace Watanabe Mayu has a dozen signboards, that's not a lot of money? How about it? Not a bad idea, right?"
"It's all about your idea. Mayu Watanabe reached out and slapped him on the shoulder, "It's home, let's get in the door." β
"Sister!"
"What's wrong?"
"I mean seriously, you think about it, I really lack trustworthy people here, I want to hand over the management of Seven Degrees Music Entertainment Company to you, as for the concurrently Nogizaka 46, it's just a gimmick, it's like I run the girls' generation concert on the group, Mai Shiraishi and Lin Yuna's cooperation, these are just to increase the exposure and popularity of the group, and the effect is obvious!"
"Well, AKB's food is almost sucked up by you Naituan, and you guys from your girlhood don't let it go, Asuka is on the movies, the gap is getting bigger and bigger...... My sister is so pitiful, I only know how to use my sister. Mayu Watanabe's pitiful expression really embarrassed Watanabe.
"Forget it, whoever calls me your sister won't care about you. Regarding the change of career, I will think about it, eight years of idol career, I am really tired, but you can also promise me one thing. β
"What?"
"Tomorrow's "Love Hot Continent", do you want to show your face?"
"It is incumbent upon us. β
"Love Continent" is a famous character documentary short film on TBS TV, and those who can be on programs like "Love Continent" are either celebrities or people with colorful life stories.
Masaharu Fukuyama, Boa, Hitomi Kuroki, Yasu Akimoto, Kazuya Ninomiya, Masato Sakai, Atsuko Maeda, Girls' Generation, Sotai Fukushi, etc., have all participated in the filming of this show.
Of course, as a national actress, gakki is naturally indispensable.
Now it's Mayu Watanabe's turn.
Jun Watanabe also felt that it was time to make public his sister-brother relationship with Mayu Watanabe, so as not to be taken in any intimate photos in the future that would be difficult to explain.
The two of them entered the door and changed into slippers and prepared to take a bath and rest.
"Concurrently Nogizaka 46, can you c?"
"I'm sorry. β
"Sure enough, if you have a daughter-in-law and forget your sister, or Nanase Nishino, you push her like this...... Akimoto-sensei, okay?"
"Let her go for the time being, and wait for public opinion to pass. β
"What's next?"
"It should be Mai Shiraishi who will single C. β
"You and her?"
"It's okay. β
"What about me?"
"It's just a music video and a cutscene, and it won't put too much pressure on you. β
"Sure enough, it's ruthless and unjust, and I'll put it aside after using it, how can I have a brother with no conscience like you. β
Mayu Watanabe was almost angry, she thought she could at least get a c position to play, but her brother never planned to let him c at all, she used to purely sacrifice herself for others.
Mean guys!
She slammed the frosted glass door of the bathroom shut.
Jun Watanabe touched his nose, a little embarrassed, after all, he was at a loss.
