PS. Thank you for the reward of the Cross Night, this is the third and last update of today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

PS2. Today's computer is broken, it took a lot of time to repair, I still hope that everyone supports the genuine, subscribe more, subscription is the most powerful support for me.

On August 31, a week after the release of the third single of Nogizaka 46 in Shibuya, Tokyo, PARCO Theater.

Rehearsals for the group's first 16-member performance will begin here.

The performance is divided into two acts.

Act 1 Group Dance Stunt Show, Self-Introduction.

After the end of the first act, roles of decreasing importance are assigned according to the number of votes cast on the spot.

After the start of the second act, the roles are assigned and the performance begins, and the following is the distribution of roles for the 9 performances, which is also the voting ranking.

The theater was small and dimly lit, and the theater was occupied by Nogizaka doctors, the main members of the operation, the theater itself, some of the media reporters in charge of filming, and a few passers-by who were invited.

A small theater with a few hundred people is not very large, and it is easy to fill it, and the market in this part of Tokyo is very large, so there is no problem with a small theater with a few hundred people.

There are already a large number of staff preparing for filming, and there is no audience at today's rehearsal, only the operation is evaluating the girls performing on the stage, and since the performance is divided into acts 1 and 2, the operation has to judge the performance of the girls on the scene, and then select the person who is suitable for the first act tomorrow.

In other words, the girls have to impress the operation in two ways, that is, through excellent talents, or in a special way to impress people.

It's also very simple for the operation to do this, first of all, the number of places is limited, and secondly, since joining the group, the pressure experienced by these girls is not very great, and due to the ample resources on Sony's side, many girls do not have a strong sense of crisis.

Sure enough, after starting the performance, the girls felt great pressure in the face of the expressionless faces of the group of operators below, they knew that their every move was watched by the operation, and whether they could enter the 16-person performance list depended largely on their performance.

"Musical!" Uesugi Soyuki sat at the bottom, and the eldest lady Yuka Sugai was wearing a cool chiffon silk slip dress and a butterfly hairpin, sitting not far from him, while on the other side sat Sanada Kenyo, who was in charge of the vocal part after a long time.

"Sanada, I don't know about music, it's up to you to judge. Uesugi said.

"Hmmm... Just leave it to me. "Sanada Kengo is holding a report and writing and drawing on it, and he is grading the girl's singing and dancing performance.

Tomorrow's first day of the performance will start with a musical performed by the crowd, and then the audience will vote for the 16 people they want to see, so today's rehearsal will determine the lineup for the opening of the first day of the performance tomorrow.

Today's score is divided into two parts, the operation manager Satomi Ichiro decided on the image score, that is, the score when introducing himself, and then Sanada Kenyo scored the talent score, that is, the level of performance.

At this time, it was the girls' turn to introduce themselves.

One by one, the girls walked up and began to introduce themselves.

"My special skill is that I have been practicing kendo for ten years, and through kendo, I have trained my body and mind, and now my personality has become very optimistic!" said the girl on the stage with her arms outstretched and in a strange falsetto.

"Hahahaha~!" The staff at the bottom laughed, Satomi Ichiro nodded with a smile, and gave Takayama a high score on his rating sheet: "Takayama This girl is really interesting, every time I listen to her introduce herself, I have a feeling of shame playing, willing to speak freely, willing to suppress shame, to please the audience, to make everyone happy, it is easy to leave a deep impression, in this regard, Takayama has done a very good job." ”

"Definitely. Uesugi Soyuki nodded, mainly because he had heard Takayama Ichimi's falsetto voice and very shameful self-introduction, even if he didn't like her all of a sudden, it was easy to remember her, and being remembered was the first and most important step in attracting fans.

In Japan, the number of artists is vast, there are many types, the number of idols is large, the status is low, and it is difficult to occupy an advantage in terms of appearance and talent, and if you want to become popular, you must find a way to be remembered.

"Heh, but her performance, it's really... Sanada Kenyo gave Takayama a low score in terms of talent scores, as he said, Takayama Kazumi's level in musicals is also average, objectively speaking, it is completely understandable that he will give a low score.

After taking a comprehensive look at the scores, Takayama passed and was selected for the selection of 16 people.

In this way, each girl got a score through her performance and self-introduction, which directly determined whether they could enter the first half of the first day of the performance.

"The scoring should be as objective as possible, Ningsang, Sanada, you know, the selection method of the audience must be different from the selection method we operate... For example, Shiraishi and Hashimoto's girls, even if they perform averagely, they have a good chance of being selected. Uesugi Muneyuki continued.

Even Sanada Kenyo, who attaches the most importance to talent, has to admit that this is originally a world of looking at faces, especially Mai Shiraishi's high appearance, which is very easy to attract passers-by, and many passers-by are attracted by her appearance first, and then begin to understand this combination.

If it is said that Rina Ikoma has gained attention by serving as the center all the time, Mai Shiraishi has completely relied on her appearance to get enough attention, and at present, these two people are the best mixed outside Nogizaka Village, and they are also the most popular.

Next, the rest of the girls appeared one after another to introduce themselves.

One of the most striking is Ikuta Erika, the girl seems to have a unique fearless aura standing on the stage, performing very well without psychological pressure, and her self-introduction is also very interesting, singing an opera, saying a word about herself, then singing an opera, and then a self-introduction.

"Hahahaha~" Uesugi Soyuki couldn't help laughing, this self-introduction of Erika Ikuta was really interesting, Satomi Ichiro and Sanada Kengo both gave her high marks, and all together, this girl had the highest score.

After introducing themselves, the operation gives everyone a break, and after a few minutes, they will announce the selection list for the first day.

Uesugi noticed that Rina Ikoma walked aside alone when she was resting, and she didn't play very well today, and she didn't have any special talent for musicals.

Serving as the center, it's like adding a variety of auras at the beginning of the game, with an innate advantage, but it will also bring the negative impact of all team friendliness minus five at the beginning, and it will also be burdened with a lot of pressure, as well as all kinds of accusations and abuse from the outside world.

That's how Atsuko Maeda came over.

Rina Ikoma,That's how she bears all kinds of injuries.,Got to the present.,The girl herself is not a sociable person.,The relationship with her teammates is average.,Especially in the selection and ranking.,It's even more obvious that the real friendship situation within the group.,Rina Ikoma just lowered her head.,Hunched back.,Sitting on the side with red circles under her eyes.,Drinking water silently alone.。

On the stage, off the stage, there is a heavy atmosphere that is almost frozen, and the girls know the importance of this performance, and the operation has emphasized that this performance will directly affect the evaluation of them for a period of time in the future.

Yoshio Konno walked over and sat down next to Satomi Ichiro: "Ikoma, she is really a good child, she has carried too much for the sake of Nogizaka, and it is our side that we haven't thought about it." ”

Rina Ikoma has endured countless pressures with her short and thin body since the formation of the group, and Aya Yamamoto, Matsui Jurina and other ACEs, this girl lacks enough convincing power in some aspects, such as shaking hands, such as stage performance, she can't say that she doesn't work hard, she can actually be regarded as one of the hardest working people in the group, and there is nothing wrong with using her as a benchmark, but her performance lacks enough convincing, so she is often under great pressure.

"If you don't have talent, you can only be an idol, are we sorry for her? Last month, we paid her a salary of almost 600,000 yuan, you say, I went to the street to apply, and said that I would give you 600,000 yuan a month, including food, let you endure the scolding of others, and then sing and dance, how many people would be willing?" Satomi Ichiro was quite disapproving: "I can tell you, Yoshio, the sea has gone, in the parks all over the street, in the slums, and in those talent markets, there are 600,000 a month, and everyone is willing to do anything! Compared to this, what is a little bit of pressure? Is the pressure she was under as much as when I was doing insurance? I was in my twenties at the time, working more than ten hours a day, at most I was scolded six times a day, I was still in the face twice, and my salary was only 150,000 yuan a month, what did I say?"

Speaking of this, Satomi Ichiro was a little impatient: "I don't understand, such a high salary and share, and such a huge amount of attention, what's wrong with enduring some pressure and hard work? If Ikoma is the same as Atsuko Maeda at that time, she only gets more than 100,000 yuan a month, and tells me about this, then I will still think that this is indeed the case, but what was her salary last month? It's 600,000 yuan! More than me and you!"

Satomi Ichiro's words were not very loud, but they were still heard by Uesugi Soyuki, Uesugi Soyuki stood up, reached out and patted the back of the forty-something idol house: "Ning Sang, don't look at the matter of Ikoma by your forty-year-old standard, she doesn't have a very serious concept of salary now, she, after all, is only a sixteen-year-old child, and the family doesn't particularly need money." ”

"Alas~" Satomi Ichiro sighed, handed over his rating form to a scholar, and then said slowly: "How much to pay, how much to get, Ikoma is a lot, but she also gets a lot, very much, Konno, you can't just see her pay, you feel that she is very pitiful, and then emotional, we do operations, if they are all like this, it must not be good, whether it is shared, or exposure, and resources, we have never treated her badly." ”

Then, the middle-aged man said to Uesugi Soyuki: "Uesugi-san is right, she... It's really just a sixteen-year-old child, and it's not convenient for us to enlighten her here, so we can only ask Uesugi to talk to her in private. ”

"Well, I'll find a time, and for now, let's finish the rehearsal for the performance first!" Uesugi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Ikoma can't go on like this, the girl's psychological endurance is limited, and Uesugi Soyuki knows that she may have to think about this matter.
