Chapter 158: Final Audition

As the press conference continued, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was constantly bombarded with various questions from media reporters.

However, he solved them all perfectly.

And after seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto standing on the stage, with a comfortable face, constantly answering the tricky questions of reporters, the media knew that the fifteen-year-old boy with a bright smile in front of him was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Eloquent, quick to react, logical and clear, he will not jump into the trap they set at all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is like a seamless egg, so that media reporters and flies have no way to start.

There is no way, after the first few are very aggressive, and there are traps, after seeing that they can't get any exciting material from Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mouth, the reporters' questions are slowly leaning towards the movie.

This also made Sakamoto Kiyoshi breathe a sigh of relief.

He was a little scared, because of himself, let this movie creator press conference become his own press conference.

However, fortunately, among the reporters present, there are still some who are very curious about movies, so the next questions are all about movies.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto directly became the host, and he kept throwing some topics to, Kenichi Matsuyama who was standing next to him, as well as Toda and others, so that the actors next to him were more or less involved.

Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has a spare face to deal with various problems, Shusuke Kaneko knows that this press conference will definitely increase the attention of the movie a lot.

Because,There is Sakamoto Kiyoshi。。。

A creative press conference of less than an hour, with Sakamoto Kiyoshi contributing some jokes from time to time, ended perfectly.

Although Japan's Warner Company's support for this "Death Note" was not too much at the beginning, after choosing Kiyoshi Sakamoto as the leading actor, Warner's attitude changed a lot all of a sudden.

Based on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity and number of fans, in the current entertainment industry, for the time being, they are among the best, so Warner has stepped up its support in all aspects.

Because he has a lot of confidence in Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a "big weapon" to promote the box office, the shooting funds that were originally stretched are also very generous after Warner's addition.

It is with the strong support of Warner that this main creator press conference will have so much media attention.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is playing the leading role for the first time, he has no leisure to pay attention to Warner, is it because of him that he has increased his support for the movie, after the press conference, his heart has long drifted into the distance...

。。。。。。

It was Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Akihabara.

Akihabara.

Akihabara is located in the Chiyoda area in the northeastern part of downtown Tokyo, on the Yamanote Line of the high-speed tram that surrounds central Tokyo.

The Yamanote Line is a JR-EAST main train line that runs around the entire Tokyo metropolitan area.

As one of the world's leading electric towns, Akihabara is undergoing rapid changes.

In addition to the specialty stores of electrical appliances, the service functions such as business and catering are also becoming more and more complete, and it is developing into a prosperous area with comprehensive colors.

With the rise of otaku culture, this electrical street, which is in sync with the cutting-edge industries of the times, no longer represents the pinnacle of Japanese electrical appliances, but also the birth of the "Akihabara system".

The birth of this term is due to the fact that most of the otaku's interests are mainly related to anime and games, and there is a greater demand for electronic and electrical products than ordinary people, so it is often haunted in the Akihabara area, which was known for its electronic products and was called the "electrical street" in Tokyo, Japan.

In particular, the heyday of the original Japanese personal computer PC9801 is a representative of this period.

Later, due to many factors and changes in business location, the trend of stores has shifted from electrical products to animation and game boutiques.

And these people who focus on their interests and do not pay attention to their clothes are called "Akihabara".

And just this year, this place, commonly known as AKIBA, is about to appear a group of national troupes that will dominate the Japanese music scene in the future, known as the savior of saving Japanese records, AKB48!!

Standing in front of the entrance of Don Quixote store in Akihabara, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at this building, which will be well-known to otaku all over the country in the future, and muttered to himself.

"In the end, the origin of the name AKB, is it because of Yasu Akimoto and his friends, or because of Akihabara??"

In his mind, thinking about this question, he also lowered his cap and slowly walked into the building.

Today is October 30th, and it is also the final selection day for Akihabara 48.

Venue: AKS corporate headquarters on the 8th floor of the Don Quijote Building in Akihabara.

The final selection judges were: chief producer Yasushi Akimoto, AKS company representative Yasushi Kuwata, dance teacher Natsu Mako, and music producer Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Among several people, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the youngest and the least qualified, but because he is behind Sony , Yasushi Wata, who is sitting next to him, and Xia Zhengong dare not snub him.

After all, in this "Akihabara 48 Plan", although the operation rights belong to the OFFICE48 office headed by Yasushi Akimoto, Sony's voice power and influence are still very large.

Speaking of the "Akihabara 48 Project", the project began to be advertised on the Internet and magazines in August, and by the deadline for applications in October, more than 8,000 people from all over the country sent their resumes and materials.

After two months of primary selection, re-selection, and finalization, only 45 people entered the final selection.

And these 45 people, who have been strictly screened, are gathering at the audition venue at this time, waiting for the fateful moment to come.

In the entire audition venue, the girl's voice continued to sound in the venue.

In the large hall, forty-five girls from twelve to twenty years old sat in rows of neatly arranged chairs, some chatting in low voices, some practicing the songs they were about to sing, and some even sat there in a daze, looking up at the ceiling, not knowing what they were thinking...

It is worth mentioning that Atsuko Maeda entered this final 45 people, however, her two good friends, Asa-chan and Yuri, were eliminated, so at this final audition, Atsuko Maeda was a little nervous and sat quietly on a chair in the audition venue, waiting for the final selection to begin.

"Why is this happening? Aya-chan and Yuri-chan, why were they not selected, and I was the only one selected, what should I do?" The girl's heart was full of anxiety about the audition, and she was puzzled by the elimination of her friends.

And in the interview room next door, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was talking to Yasusu Akimoto at this time, and he didn't know how complicated A-chan's mood was now.

"Congratulations, Sakamoto-kun!" Akimoto said in a flat tone, looking at Sakamoto Kiyoshi's handsome face.

"Eh, Akimoto-san, what are you talking about?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't know how Akimoto Yasushi came up, so he congratulated himself, why.

Qiu Yuanyasu looked at the young man in front of him, who had broken out of the world in the music world, and admired it very much.

"I also watched the press conference a few days ago. ”

Hearing this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew what Yasushi Akimoto was talking about.

Movie actor.

Although he knew that this was just a polite remark from Yasushi Akimoto to open the topic, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still felt a little happy.

"Ah, Akimoto-san, did you also watch that press conference? Thank you very much. So, he replied with a deliberately flattered expression.

I can't help but say that in order to play "Night God Moon" well, Sakamoto Kiyoshi put almost all his mind on studying the role after the press conference, and after the special training of Masaharu Fukuyama and Abe Kan, his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and when he performs, even an old fox like Yasuya Akimoto can't see if the expression on his face is real.

Seeing Sakamoto Kiyoshi flattered, Akimoto Yasushi was silent on the surface, but his heart was also slightly relieved.

Judging from Kiyoshi Sakamoto's attitude, he still respects himself very much.

Therefore, Yasu Akimoto was also in a happy mood and continued to chat with him about the movie.

And the "Akimoto Keyou" Yasushi Kuwata, who was sitting next to him, and Xia Zhengong, also looked at it with a look of surprise, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a fifteen-year-old boy, and Mr. Yasushi Akimoto, a well-known lyricist and producer in the industry, were talking and laughing.

Yasushi Watata knew more or less from Yasushi Akimoto about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's status in Sony, but he didn't expect that Kiyoshi Sakamoto would be so humble or arrogant in front of Yasushi Akimoto.

Judging from Yasushi Akimoto's attitude towards him, Yasushi Kuwata believes that Yasushi Akimoto also attaches great importance to this young man.

This also made Yasushi Watata curious about this young man.

And Xia Zhengong, as a famous artist dance teacher in the industry, came to be a judge this time, which was completely an invitation from Yasushi Akimoto.

As a dance teacher who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years, she has never seen any strong winds and waves, but when she saw Yasushi Akimoto's attitude towards Kiyoshi Sakamoto, she probably knew that there must be someone behind Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Although she knew that Sakamoto Kiyoshi had been very popular in the past two years, she could never have imagined that Akimoto-san, who was well-connected and energetic, also admired him.

However, judging from the name of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, she probably understood why Sakamoto Kiyoshi, an artist who was only fifteen years old, was able to sit here.

It must be because of Sony behind him.

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew Xia Zhengong's thoughts, he would definitely give this famous artist dance teacher a big thumbs up.

"You're great!

However, as the pioneer of Sony's intervention in AKB, only a few people know this fact, and the doctors in the interview room must not know the reason why Sakamoto Kiyoshi is here.

They were just surprised that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was so young that he could become a person who could be "on an equal footing" with Yasushi Akimoto, and they had only one idea in their hearts.

"Si Guoyi (super powerful) !!"

Time passes slowly, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the final selection of Akihabara 48 officially begins!

There's something going on.,It's a little late.,I'm sorry!!
