In the overwhelming publicity, Nogizaka 46's first single finally ushered in the time for release.

Release date.

Boxes and boxes of single CDs were unloaded from the car and transported into record stores.

Kenji Kitagawa and Ichiro Satomi are silently watching all this.

"In the first week of the new single, we expect to ship 100,000 units, and according to market research, there should be 70,000 or 80,000 sales. Kitagawa Kenji took a form.

The form is a market research done by Sony.

"One hundred thousand... We don't even have a fraction of AKB, and now our team is a newborn baby, but even if it is such a baby, our expected sales can still blow up those bands and singers, and this is the current situation in the Japanese music circle. Satomi Ichiro nodded.

In the record store, Nogizaka 46's single disc was placed in a more prominent place.

"This is AKB48's formula rival's single?"

"It feels pretty much the same. ”

"It comes with a handshake ticket and a photo!"

"Buy one and try it!"

The purchasing power of the Japanese voice circle was amazing, and the few single discs that had been put on the table were quickly taken away, and the store manager immediately replenished them.

"Today's record stores are not as hot as they were a few decades ago, and they used to be called really selling music, but now, the singles are still on sale for a month, and everyone can hear them on TV and radio, and the real value of the single disc is the photo shoot and the handshake ticket. Satomi Ichiro picked up a single disc and looked at it carefully.

"It doesn't matter if 100,000 is sold out, we at Sony Music have our own ability to ship independently, and we can ship it immediately as long as we need it. Kenji Kitagawa is the president of the "Kitaga" office, and he immediately gave an affirmative answer.

The Nogizaka 46's single disc is the same as the AKB48, with a photo shoot and a handshake ticket attached to the deck, which is essentially the same thing as the AKB48.

There are not many people who buy orders, but there are also many people, and many people are attracted by the "AKB48 formula opponent" when they buy other records, so take one with you and try it.

"Now is indeed the best time to be an idol, because AKB has opened a broad road for our development, relying on AKB's reputation, it is relatively easy to make this group popular. Satomi Ichiro said, "However, at this time, we can rely on AKB's reputation, but when our team grows up, how to get rid of AKB's influence is a question that we need to think about early." ”

Sony SMZ Building, Nogizaka 46 in the practice room.

Although the girls are practicing, most of them are absent-minded, and even not only they are absent-minded, even the staff present are a little absent-minded.

Today is the first release day of their single.

Everyone was nervous.

It's Hoshino Minami, a little Lori, who is reading a girl's manga heartlessly.

"Nogizaka 46, the first single "Rolling Curtains", the first week sales, 86,000 copies!

"Yay!!"

"Awesome!!"

The crowd cheered.

Even Nanase Nishino, who was the most afraid of life in private, smiled.

Among the scholars, Yui Nango was the happiest, although Uesugi was in charge of this plan, but as the proposer and consultant of the project, his own status would definitely rise.

"Today's achievements depend on everyone's efforts, and on behalf of Sony Music, I would like to thank the staff present and everyone at Nogizaka 46 for their hard work. Yoshio Konno, a middle-aged man in his fifties, bowed deeply to everyone present.

The crowd also bowed in response.

Just as Yoshio Iano was about to say something, Kenyoshi Sanada suddenly spoke.

"I said, don't think that you think that you sell 86,000 sales in the first week and think it's good, do you know how much money it has cost since the establishment of this group?"

It turned out that the fiery atmosphere froze all at once.

"Hey~ How much did it cost?" only Reika Sakurai asked stupidly.

Sanada Kengo ignored Yoshio Konno's warning eyes and said, "I don't want to tell you the exact number, I just want to tell you that as long as your single sales do not reach more than 250,000 copies, we will lose money." ”

Wow! The girls exploded all at once.

Many girls in the younger grades were so frightened that their faces turned pale at once.

250,000 sheets, that's 250,000 sheets!

"That's enough, Sanada, shut up!" shouted Yoshio Konno angrily.

Seeing this, Nango Yui immediately retreated and hid his body in the crowd of staff.

The position of advisor was something he had earned with great difficulty, and he didn't want to be involved.

Sanada Kengang also stood up: "I'm just telling the truth, is it very proud to sell 86,000 in the first week? We haven't even earned back a fraction of the publicity costs!"

Suddenly, there was tension in the practice room, and Yoshio Konno, a middle-aged man in his fifties, and Sanada Kenyo, a young man, seemed to be rolling up their sleeves and preparing to do a big job.

Ikuta Erika was about to go up and say something, but was pulled by Mai Fukagawa: "Ikuta, don't go up." ”

"But... Flowey wanted to say something, but Mai Fukagawa just kept shaking her head.

Asuka Saito, the youngest in the grade, was already scared and crying, and Nana Hashimoto did not protect the little girl behind her, and then said to Mai Shiraishi beside her, "Hurry!

The girls around are a little strange, the relationship between the two of them seems to have suddenly deteriorated, especially Mai Shiraishi, who basically doesn't talk to Nana Hashimoto, this sentence is the first time the two of them have spoken in the past few days.

Mai Shiraishi hurriedly sneaked over to her purse, intending to take out her phone from inside.

"What's the noise?" Satomi Ichiro appeared, and he quickly sensed that something was wrong in the practice room.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" he found a doctor next to him and asked him what was going on.

The scholar simply told Satomi Ichiro what had happened, and since he was also angry at Sanada's ignorance, Sanada was almost entirely responsible for what had happened.

"Hit! Why don't you fight! I'll be the referee! Hit hard, do you want to invite reporters to broadcast live? We can also go straight to the headlines without paying for public relations!" Satomi Ichiro, the elf, quickly learned what had happened, and he reacted immediately.

As soon as he said it, Yoshio Konno and Kenyo Sanada really couldn't fight, and Sanada snorted heavily: "Is what I said wrong?"

Then he left the practice room just like that.

Yoshio Konno's face turned blue, and when he saw that everyone was still staying, he also said simply: "I still have something to deal with, and I am here to apologize to everyone for the trouble caused to everyone." ”

After saying that, he also left the practice room without looking down.

The cries of several girls could be heard faintly in the practice room.

"Okay, be quiet, I'll tell you a few words!" Satomi Ichiro straightened his tie, everyone's emotions needed to be appeased, Uesugi Muneyuki was not there, Yoshio Konno left, and now the most suitable person to speak was himself.

He glanced at Nango's only eye, who was hiding in the crowd, and Nanxiang didn't have any intention of coming out to speak, but made an expression of listening carefully.

"What I want to tell you is that although Sanada's words are ugly, what he said is actually the truth. Satomi Ichiro said with a serious expression.

The faces of the members changed, and even the expressions of girls like Misai Edo and Sayuri Inoue changed.

"But you don't have to worry, just like investment, everything is lost first, and then produced, as an idol group, it is very normal for us to lose money in the early stage. ”

"AKB, as we all know, lost nearly 5 billion yen in the first three years of construction, and we don't have to do it the same, so you don't have to take it too seriously, we are Sony. ”

"It's just that I hope that when you practice, you can think in your heart, you know, you need to work harder, you need to surpass AKB, you need to make this combination known to the world, so that your sales will go up, we can't always be a loss-making combination, can we?"

"Within two or three years, it is normal for this combination to lose money, I still hope that you will look up and look forward, do you know?"

"Got it... The girls replied with a sparse voice, but many of them had better expressions.

"So, let's keep working hard to surpass the AKB. Satomi Ichiro also left the practice room.

A storm subsided.

That night, in an izakaya near the Sony SMZ building, Yoshio Konno sat side by side with Satomi Ichiro, two people ordered a few pickled radish, one ordered a bottle of wine, and some side dishes, and sat at the bar without saying a word.

The atmosphere was a little stiff.

Satomi Ichiro sighed softly: "That guy Sanada, his temper is really too bad, who does he think he is?" However, Konno-san, don't take it too seriously, what he said is the truth, isn't it?"

Yoshio Konno picked up his wine glass, drank a glass of sake, and said calmly: "I know, but in the early stage of the establishment of a combination, losses are inevitable, the bottom line given by Director Uesugi is to sell 60,000 in the first 60,000 units, and the total sales volume reaches 100,000 even if it is qualified, and we now have 86,000 sales in the first week, and it is very easy to exceed 100,000, why is Sanada, a young man, not aware of things?

"Now the common problems of young people are not all like this, they haven't done anything yet, they haven't worked for two days at the beginning of the month, they are already thinking about how to spend this month's salary, and they have not been in the company for two years, and they are thinking about what they will do after they become a senior executive. Satomi Ichiro picked up a piece of pickled radish, chewed it, and made a crunching sound: "Sanada is even more, maybe in his opinion, being a project manager is a condescending talent, and being a project director is almost the same." ”

"Don't say this, the project director is really the director of Uesugi, there are some things, only his connections are useful, you see, about NHK's TV program, it's useless how we get in touch here, I remember you ran the TV station a few times, and as soon as he came out, he was able to get on. Yoshio Konno continued.

Sanada has never made his position clear, he has always felt that he came to be a vocal teacher, which is called Quing, but it is simply our Sony who has succumbed to him, a guy without a formal college diploma, can come in, not because he is a relative of the CEO of Kitagawa and a descendant of that person. Satomi Ichiro exhaled heavily: "He doesn't get along well with Kitagawa Kenji-san." ”

"Actually, how can we look up to him? He is not a descendant of the main family, nor has he inherited the common character, and after hundreds of years, who knows how much ancestral blood he still has? It's just a wild seed! Not even a serious Chinese clan, and he is still so arrogant. Yoshio Konno also drank.

"The current Chinese are not as good as before, the core Chinese are still beautiful and noble like the directors of Uesugi and their family, but what about those marginal Chinese people? Satomi Ichiro sighed: "You see, the core Chinese have been producing talents from generation to generation, and many families have a bigger and bigger family business, while the marginal Chinese are sinking more and more, relying on selling antiques and land all day long to maintain a decent life." ”

"Forget it, don't say so much, drink, drink!"

"Yes, drink, drink!"

After a few glasses of wine, Yoshio Konno asked a question that he was interested in: "Speaking of which, have the two children who are going to move have already been connected?"

"It's already being discussed, Reina Matsui's file can already be transferred, it's just a formality away, and as for Rino Hara, the negotiations have also entered the end, and there are only some details left. ”

"That's good, I'm ready here. ”
