Chapter 36: Atsuko Maeda's advice

"Akimoto-san, Nogizaka's debut single PV has come out, and this is the finished product." Kenji Kitagawa took the USB flash drive and hurriedly handed this over to Yasu Akimoto.

"Well, I'll take a look." Akimoto took the USB flash drive, plugged it into the USB port of the computer, opened the folder and copied the video to the computer, and then opened the video and watched it with Kitagawa Kenji.

Kenji Kitagawa watched the video while watching Yasusu Akimoto's expression change. The expression on Akimotoyasu's face was very serious, and he watched it very intently, and every shot in it was the performance of the members, the plot, and the theme ideas expressed, and he was thinking about it.

"Yes, it's okay." After reading it, Akimoto Yasusu nodded and gave a very pertinent evaluation: "It doesn't feel very good, but I can feel what should be expressed, after all, it's a debut single, and there's nothing wrong with being conservative, in fact, there are still improvements, but it's harmless, and it's enough now." ”

Kenji Kitagawa breathed a sigh of relief, and after getting this affirmative answer, at least he knew that he didn't need to reshoot.

"How's the PV shooting of the CW song?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"It's being filmed, and A-chan is also going to participate today." Kenji Kitagawa said.

"Well, just refer to the original PV changes." Yasu Akimoto nodded.

"After the finished product is ready, I still have to send it to me for confirmation as soon as possible, don't forget it." Akimoto Yasu admonished.

"Well, I see, Akimoto-san." After Kitagawa Kenji finished answering, he left Akimoto Yasu's office and went to work on other tasks.

"Hello everyone, I'm Atsuko Maeda at AKB48." Atsuko Maeda smiled and greeted the members of Nogizaka.

"We are, Nogizaka 46." The members first bowed to Atsuko Maeda, and then under the leadership of Reika Sakurai, everyone introduced it again with the official introduction of Nogizaka.

"A-chan, thank you for coming." Kenji Kitagawa also came with Atsuko Maeda, and he also expressed his gratitude.

"No, no, Kitagawa San, you are serious, come and do a small favor to the members of Nogizaka, what Mr. Akimoto asked me to do, I will definitely do it well." Atsuko Maeda replied with a smile and a wave of her hand.

"Alright, let's get started." Kenji Kitagawa turned to Nango Yui and said, Nango Yui also nodded and went to inform the director that filming could begin.

The name of this CW song is only slightly changed compared to the original song of AKB48's "δΌšγ„γŸγ‹γ£γŸ", and the name of the song has been changed to "δΌšγ„γŸγ‹γ£γŸγ‹γ‚‚γ—γ‚Œγͺい", and the lyrics are exactly the same as the original version, and the positions of the members of Nogizaka are also the positions of the original AKB48 members, so the shooting scenes of the PV were also filmed and recorded in the original version.

The members all obeyed the director's arrangement and were shooting seriously and hard. Because of the presence of Atsuko Maeda, each member was very serious on the spot. For them, Atsuko Maeda is their senior, AKB's current ACE, Fudo Center, as the official opponent of Nogizaka 46, everyone is actually a little afraid of AKB in their hearts, scared. And with the arrival of Atsuko Maeda today, the members felt both excited and a little intimidated. As an official opponent, the king of the current opponent appeared in front of him, and the aura that he inadvertently exuded during his gestures, that kind of confidence, that kind of easy-going, were tightly suppressing the hearts of the members of Nogizaka. For the first time, the members felt the gap between themselves and their top idols, and in the face of Atsuko Maeda, they can now say that nothing is a sense of existence.

"Looks like I've been stimulated." Kenji Kitagawa stood on the sidelines and said to Yui Nango next to him.

"Well, after all, for the members, A-chan's status is too different from them. Is this Akimoto-san's arrangement? Nango Yui asked.

"Well, who else could it be, not him." Kitagawa Kenji complained.

"The members are very serious, you see Ikuta, they are not playing anymore, they are all performing very seriously." Nango Yui praised.

"Well, this can be regarded as an encouragement, after the members have seen it, they will see the gap at the same time, and their hearts will be more determined." Kenji Kitagawa nodded.

"Ikoma is a little nervous." Looking at the situation in the field, Kitagawa Kenji asked.

"This child is easily nervous or unconfident, but he can always quickly regain his courage and confidence, and he has been working hard all the time, and his heart is constantly strong." Nango Yui also looked at Rina Ikoma and said.

"I'm still young, I'm still very immature, but the quality is really rare, I kind of understand why you were optimistic about her in the first place. It's true that she is still ordinary now, just like Akimoto-san said, like a rough stone, but the quality that is revealed has already given us the good and bad in it, isn't it. Kenji Kitagawa confirmed.

Most of the filming work on the set has been completed, and now the members can finally take a break.

Atsuko Maeda doesn't have many scenes, just passing by in the PV to show her face, and now that her role has been filmed, she is thanking the director and the staff and preparing to go back.

"That...... Maeda-san, can I excuse you. Rina Ikoma was careful, walked over slowly, and asked softly.

"Ahh Atsuko Maeda was startled when she found that someone suddenly called her, and when she turned around and saw Rina Ikoma who was nervous and stammering, she quickly replied to her with a warm smile and said, "What's the matter, is there anything to find me?" ”

"Well, I'm sorry to disturb your time, Maeda-san." Rina Ikoma bowed heavily to Atsuko Maeda, and then asked in a low voice, "Although it is very abrupt and presumptuous...... I still want to find answers from you...... May I ask Maeda-san you...... What do you think about being a center? ”

"I see, this girl, sure enough." Atsuko Maeda immediately understood the meaning of Rina Ikoma's problem, as well as the troublesome thing that was bothering her psychologically now.

"Call me A-chan, you're Rina Ikoma, I've heard Akimoto-sensei talk about you." Atsuko Maeda smiled and held out her hand.

"But, is it okay...... A-chan ......? Rina Ikoma shouted carefully, seeing that Atsuko Maeda was still smiling and stretched out her hand, she quickly held her with both hands, for her, Atsuko Maeda is her role model now.

"I haven't had much time to think about the fact that I'm a center. I remember at the beginning, I was also nervous and scared because the other members had companions in front of and around them, and they could see them. And I can only stand at the front, only the audience in front of me, and the members are behind me. I'm scared, I'm very scared, because the other members occasionally make mistakes and can adjust in time, but I'm at the front, I can't make mistakes, there's no way. So I will practice more seriously and harder than others, to ensure myself. For a while, I was also very resistant to this position, and I was very sad, and even said why I had to be in this position. But then I gradually figured it out, I stand in that position, not because only I can stand in that position, it is the person in that position, to bear, to pay, far more than others, in that position, what you are guarding is the confidence and dreams of the whole team, all members, so don't think about whether you are center, such an irrelevant thing, what you really have to understand is the meaning and responsibility in that position, since you are in that position, You're representing the spirit of the whole team and many, much more, center, it's more about giving and accountability, and it's important to remember that. Atsuko Maeda said seriously,

"That's great!" Kenji Kitagawa and Yui Nango came over, and when they heard this, they both applauded Atsuko Maeda. Originally, I saw Rina Ikoma take the initiative to find Atsuko Maeda, and I thought something would happen, but now the two people who have come over have appreciated her in their hearts when they hear Atsuko Maeda's teachings.

"A-chan's words, Ikoma you have to keep in mind, it's okay if you can't figure it out now, think about it slowly after you go back, don't forget that the center is more about giving and responsibility." Kitagawa said earnestly.

"Yes, I will, thank you, A-chan!" Rina Ikoma listened to what Atsuko Maeda said today, and she benefited a lot, and began to understand the meaning of her role as a center. He bowed and thanked Atsuko Maeda again, and then ran to find Erika Ikuta and them.

"A-chan, thank you." Nango Yuiya bowed.

"Don't be so polite, Nango-san." Atsuko Maeda waved her hand and said, "I just shared some of my own experience with her, this girl, standing in that position for the first time, must be a little uneasy, I hope I can help her." ”

"She's benefited a lot, and I'm really grateful." Nango Yui thanked again.

"Okay, okay, A-chan, are you going back, do you need me to send you?" Kenji Kitagawa asked.

"No need Beichuan Sang, the agent is waiting for me outside, the agent will send me back, don't bother." Atsuko Maeda replied politely.

"Well, then pay attention to safety, it's hard work today." Kenji Kitagawa said goodbye to Atsuko Maeda.

"It's fine." Atsuko Maeda bowed to the two men with her hands, and then left with her agent.

Sure enough, Ikoma is really good, although she knows that it is reckless to do so, but she still mustered up the courage to do it, because she is afraid that she will not be able to do this center, sorry for everyone in Nogizaka, so she must eliminate the confusion in her heart, and today's arrival of A-chan may be an opportunity for her to help her solve her current troubles, and she did it as she wished, A-chan helped her find the answer. She does have the potential to be centered. After sending Atsuko Maeda away, Kenji Kitagawa commented.

"Well, I hope she can take it well." Nango Yui also sighed.

"By the way, Konno-san told me at noon that the dormitories of the members of Nogizaka have been arranged, and now there is no problem, all the members can move in, even if the members who are close to home want to come and live together, they can apply to stay, and there is no need to live in a hotel so troublesomely, Konno-san asked me to inform you too, and Akimoto-san." Nango Yui suddenly thought of Yoshio Konno's command and said to Kitagawa Kenji.

"Yes, I see." Kenji Kitagawa nodded.

"I always feel that the members of Nogizaka have a different feeling from those of AKB......," said Yui Nango, looking at the members who were checking the dance footage for the last time in the venue.

"If it's the same, we're not Nogizaka 46, we're not Sony." Kitagawa Kenji said slowly.

"Slap", with the sound of the field staff, the director announced that the filming was completed, and the members were all relieved, they really felt tired today.

Looking at the members who were paralyzed in the lounge and couldn't stand up, listening to Nan Liushi's speech, Kitagawa Kenji and Nango Yui both smiled silently.

This is just the beginning.
