PS, today's plus more. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In August 2011, the midsummer sun shone on the earth and scorched the air.

The high-rise buildings in Tokyo have created a strong heat island effect, and ordinary people only need to stay on the street for less than five minutes, and they will sweat profusely.

Pedestrians in big cities are indifferent, crossroads, zebra crossings, endless streams, but very few people stop, most people are walking in a hurry, the streets are noisy, but they don't feel much anger.

Among the people of RB, May and August are typical periods of high incidence of mental illness, and many RB people are depressed, lazy and tired, and resistant to going to school and work during this season, which is called "May disease" by the RB medical community. It is mainly manifested by changes in eating habits, insomnia, decreased interest or distraction, resistance to the performance of social duties, slow response or sensitivity, etc.

However, at this time, in the main venue of the Sony SMZ building, a group of girls were very, very nervous, locked in several small preparation rooms, anxiously waiting for the notice of the staff outside.

And outside, it was the venue of Nogizaka 46's second trial: the interview!

Today, the head of Sony, the project director of Nogizaka, the president of Nogizaka Contract Company, and all the people involved in Dentsu and AKS are waiting for the interview.

In this extremely tense atmosphere, the girls began to leave contact information for each other, which is the habit of RB people, and in any case, there is nothing wrong with leaving one.

Next, the girls entered the venue one by one and began the interviews.

The on-site staff read the names with expressionless faces.

"No. 73, Nanami Hashimoto!" the tall host read the next name.

Nana in the crowd whispered yes, and then followed the staff into the venue.

Under the guidance of the staff, the girl walked into the venue, and the girl in front of her, who had just finished the interview, was saying goodbye to the judges.

Since April 1, Sony has received tens of thousands of resumes from women, and by the time they took the written test, 38,934 girls still took the written test.

Nana, who originally just had the idea of giving it a try, passed the written test very smoothly and entered the interview.

She recognized the girl in front of her, called Mai Shiraishi, a girl with amazing looks, they just exchanged contact information, Nana Wei is very surprised now, with this girl's appearance, to be an actor, to be a model, it will be very simple, why did she come to participate in this idol selection activity?

Idols are now the lowest status group in the entertainment industry, even if they have recently become popular with AKB, the status of idols is just a little stronger than that of photo stars.

She scratched at the ends of her short hair, a little uneasy, trying to make it look more natural.

Without waiting for her to think about it, one of the people sitting in the judges' seat spoke: "Please take a seat, don't be nervous, we just ask you a few questions." ”

The sign in front of the middle-aged man reads "Nogizaka 46 Manager Satomi Ichiro", which is different from what he imagined, this middle-aged man's expression is not only not serious, but he has a very little look at the "limited-time promotion" goods in the hypermarket, as if evaluating her value, this kind of gaze makes Nanami feel very uncomfortable.

"Ning Sang, I'll come. The young man sitting in the middle suddenly spoke, and the middle-aged man didn't say anything, so he gave up the right to speak.

Isn't that man's name Satomi Ichiro? Why does this young man call him Ninsang?

The girl didn't dare to show curiosity, because the sign on the young man's table read, "Director of the Nogizaka 46 Project, Sony Director Uesugi Soyuki".

Anyone who has carefully read the interview rules knows that this young man has absolute power in this project.

"18-year-old Nanami Hashimoto, well... Is it from Hokkaido?" The young man's eyes are different from those of the middle-aged man, and he also looks at himself, as if... It's like I'm missing something precious.,But,Nana is not disgusted by this kind of gaze.。

"Yes. ”

Next, the director of Sony, the top executive, then asked a few questions, all of which were very simple and not difficult questions, and the girl tried to answer them as concisely and clearly as possible, because she knew that there were still many people waiting behind her.

"Yes, you passed, remember to come to the final review on August 20th. Under the girl's incredulous gaze, the young man also announced that she had passed.

Nana didn't want to ask why, didn't the previous person ask to show his talent, but the host was already calling the next person, so she had to get up immediately, bow and leave.

Walking out of the venue, a staff member immediately sent a box lunch, the box lunch is not very rich, there is only a small piece of fish, a few pieces of ham meat and some green vegetables, with white rice sprinkled with sesame seeds, some girls do not look down on this kind of box lunch, politely signaled that they have something to eat or want to go home to eat, and the staff does not force it.

But Nana is not different, she seems very serious, and takes the initiative to go up and get a boxed lunch.

Today's lunch money has been saved, and I found a place where there are not many people, the girl thought to her satisfaction while eating.

Eighteen years old this year, Nanami Hashimoto went to Beijing alone and studied at Musashino Art University.

Unlike other people who went to Beijing to study, this female college student's life was very difficult, because, in order to be able to go to Beijing to study, she almost fell out with her family.

Nanami still remembers that she went against her family's requirements and chose to apply for a university in Tokyo, and was miraculously admitted.

The news of the admission reached the home, but there was no imaginary joy.

The father resolutely disagreed with his request to go to Beijing to study, and the gentle and kind mother did not dare to speak, so she could only cry silently on the side, so the stubborn Nana did not choose to resist, the most fierce resistance.

"I'm going, I don't want money, I can support myself!"

"Yes, I'll see how you feed yourself!"

In this way, Nanami Hashimoto got on the train to Tokyo alone.

My father's temper was as hard as his own, and he really spoke his word, and since he arrived in Tokyo, he has never remitted a penny to himself.

When I was studying at university, my tuition, living expenses, and rent were basically supported by my part-time job and scholarships, and the tuition fee for the University of Fine Arts was about 1.9 million yen a year, and along with it, there were also high cost of materials, rent, and living expenses.

Faced with the great pressure of life, Nana Hashimoto did not choose to persevere, she tried everything to make money, helped people work, went to work in izakayas, and worked as a model for magazines.

The girl is trying to survive in Tokyo by all means.

The long hair that was originally loved had to be cut short because of the staggering cost of care, which is easy to manage.

In a difficult life, she once happened to see on the Internet that the entertainment industry had a considerable income, so she began to secretly pay attention to it, she needed money, and only with money could she survive in Tokyo.

Sonny's logo she recognized, AKB she knew, so she came.

After eating, Nana wiped her mouth with some uneasiness and took the tram back to her rented place - a "pocket apartment" of only a dozen square meters.

This apartment is almost only two tatami mats, the bathroom is so small that it is almost inconvenient for the already thin girl to turn around, there is not even a decent furniture in the room, only a wardrobe is placed against the wall, and next to the wardrobe is a small table, the schoolbag on the small table, and the clothes in the closet, almost all the girl's belongings.

There are no classes at the university today, Nana didn't close the door, cleaned up her things, and just lay down on the ground, usually, as long as there is not too much to do, she will choose to lie flat to save her strength.

Eating is also a lot of money, fortunately I received a free box lunch today, the money for lunch was saved, and the long-lost feeling of satiety made the girl fall asleep quickly.

When I woke up, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

The girl assessed her physical capacity, and then thought that she would have to work at an izakaya in the evening, and it seemed that there was no way to save the money for this dinner.

"It seems that recently, the 711 convenience store that used to pass by three streets was doing an event?

It's a bit of a long way, but it saves 200 yen, so Nanami decided to walk more.

The girl changed into a refreshing denim jacket, a white T-shirt, and jeans, changed into a pair of canvas shoes, and walked out of the door of the apartment with her bag on her shoulder.

After walking three blocks, she came to a 711 convenience store, and as soon as she entered, the girl ignored the sweet "welcome" of the clerk and headed straight for the area where bento boxes and rice balls were sold.

In the cabinet, there are all kinds of bento boxes and rice balls, as well as various snacks, among which the most expensive beef bento costs several hundred yen, Nana can only look at this bento eagerly, and instead take two rice balls.

She hadn't eaten beef in a long time.

Come to think of it, the shampoo (shampoo) and soap are running out, the refills are not enough, and... Faced with the dazzling array of goods in the store, Nana quickly remembered that she needed to replenish many of her daily necessities, so she simply chose some cheap ones, put them in a basket, and then went to the counter to check out.

"Sheng Hui, a total of 1,600 yen!" the clerk settled the item and quoted a price.

Hearing this price, Nanami Hashimoto took out his wallet with an unnatural face, opened it, and saw that there was only a 1,000-yuan note and a 100-yuan note, as well as a few scattered coins.

"That... Don't want these two. Nana Hashimoto took out two things from the shopping basket and reluctantly put them aside.

"Morie, a total of 1,115 yen. The clerk's face remained unchanged and he quoted a price again.

The money is enough, but tomorrow's food money... Nana Hashimoto could only take out one thing again from the already small shopping basket: "I don't want this either." ”

The guest was a little strange, and the cashier couldn't help but give the girl a few more looks.

"Alas, you are this morning ... ”

"Alas, you are... This morning, the one in front of me ... "Nana Hashimoto was not stunned, wasn't this cashier with a white turban the same Mai Shiraishi who had left contact information with her this morning?

"I'm Nanami Hashimoto. Seeing that Mai Shiraishi couldn't call her name for a long time, Nana didn't know that the girl might have forgotten her name, so she could only remind her.

Unexpectedly, Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto met again at this convenience store.
