That night, in a private room at a restaurant in Roppongi, Tokyo.

Uesugi Soyuki and Yasusu Akimoto sat opposite each other.

At this time, Akimoto Yasu, no longer last year, Nogizaka 46 was established when he was in high spirits, although he is still more energetic, but the hair that was originally parted in the middle is slightly messy, and his eyes are not as complacent as a year ago, as if covered with a layer of gray.

The two of them just ate silently, and never said a word except after the initial order.

Akimoto Yasu just drank vigorously, and Uesugi Soyuki didn't speak, just followed Akimoto Yasushi to drink all the time.

Inside the box, you could only hear the sound of food frying on the iron plate, and the muffled sound of wine flowing down your throat.

Long.

"So, Uesugi, are you here today to persuade me to admit defeat?" Akimoto finally spoke, his tone a little bitter and a little painful.

Fat Aki's round face showed this expression, Uesugi Soyuki looked a little unbearable, he put away his usual look with a faint smile, and his handsome face slowly became serious: "Let's not talk about this for now, the recent events have begun to affect the normal operation of AKS, Mr. Akimoto." ”

"Can you still call me Akimoto-sensei, Uesugi, did someone from the Zhou Fang family call you here, or did Sony call you?" Akimoto Yasu continued to ask.

Holding a barbecue tong, he turned over the high-grade Wagyu beef on the iron plate, and Uesugi said softly, "I came by myself." ”

“。。。 Akimoto Yasushi breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that this young man had not yet fallen to the Burning Department, if he had really completely fallen to the Burning Department, then he could really only obediently hand over everything.

"So?" asked Akimoto tentatively.

“。。。 Mr. Akimoto, they have already started to contact those first-term students. Uesugi did not directly answer Akimoto Yasuke's words, but the implication was obvious.

If you don't show up again, the situation will be really out of control.

"Now, apart from Maeda and Takahashi, no one wants to speak for me. Yasu Akimoto said bitterly: "And Maeda... I'm graduating soon. ”

Atsuko Maeda will graduate after her concert at Tokyo Dome at the end of August.

"So they're reaching out to Takahashi Minami. Uesugi Muneyuki continued.

This is exactly what reflects the embarrassing position of Yasushi Akimoto now.

Specifically, the Kyoraku and Ran systems, which have controlled operations and most of the core members, no longer need to rely on, or no longer need to rely entirely on Yasushi Akimoto.

The entertainment industry is really realistic, don't look at the first first, second, and third students, many girls have always talked about Mr. Akimoto, gratitude, etc., but when facing reality, most of them will choose to compromise.

Among them, the so-called "Yuan A" is the most obvious representative.

In the AKB group, there has always been a saying of "Yuan A underworld", which refers to the oppression of other members of the group formed by the first group of first-term students.

After learning about the specific situation, Uesugi said "yes and no" for this evaluation.

As early as that dark period, these first-term students would gather together because of the huddle for warmth, at that time, the members were very weak, and the operators had almost complete control over them, in this case, the members would unite and fight for their own right to speak, which was a very normal and correct decision.

It's just that after many students entered AKB, and then AKB started to slowly become popular, everything started to change.

An idol group, a brokerage company, resources are always limited, immigration can not change this status quo, with the increase in members, AKB's popularity, these meta A's right to speak gradually becomes larger, and their independence gradually becomes stronger, and then due to some unwritten rules in the entertainment industry and the so-called seniors in culture, these meta A's began to slowly understand the rules of the game.

The targets of Yuan A's suppression are actually very limited, because of age and status, coupled with the identity of a first-term student, the opposite side they need to watch out for is very limited, because there are not many members in their own group who can match their status, and for Watanabe Mayu and Kashiwagi Yuki, these latecomers, due to age, the next era will definitely not threaten their status.

Therefore, there are very few victims, but examples can be given.

The most famous is Ami Sato, who won the eighth place in the first general election.

This girl won the eighth place in the first general election of AKB48 without being favored, and it is rumored to be a good story.

However, after the general election, many people found out that for Ami Sato, the eighth place was really useless, and the girl got it. It's just the eighth-place trophy, except for some more of their own title groups, the girl's treatment really hasn't changed in the slightest.

It is very likely that the meta-A's played some less glamorous roles in it.

However, some things can't be said to be wrong, from Uesugi Soyuki's personal point of view, the existence of Yuan A people actually has more advantages than disadvantages.

What is more important within this kind of big team idol group is not the loss of the interests of individual people, but the stability and order of the whole.

The existence of Yuan A just controls the internal environment and order of this group, and their existence allows the junior members to know how to come step by step, and the main theme of their emphasis on hard work, sweat, and struggle grasps the direction of the entire group.

However, this is no longer the case.

Today, the status of these meta-A's is too high and too heavy.

AKB up to now, more than a dozen students, and after the tenth term of students, when facing these first-term students with increasing prestige and high status, it is difficult to even do ordinary communication, let alone learn and bring juniors.

Today Akimoto Yasushi mentioned one thing, a very dangerous signal that Akira thinks.

In between theater practice, Yona Kojima once asked several juniors to sit next to her, but they turned pale with fright, and hurriedly refused, and they didn't dare to come out, which is a very good example.

This old-timer has always refused to retreat, which is another dangerous signal.

It's not that AKS doesn't want to be renewed, and Atsuko Maeda's graduation is the most important proof of this, however, more first-term students don't want to graduate, and they want to do it for a few more years.

And these old-timers are either indifferent to the team (like Yona Kojima), or independent and detached from their idols (Mariko Shinoda and Tomomi Itano), or have limited control over them (Yuko Oshima like), and because of the compromise of these people, say something nasty.

AKB, in fact, there is no need to rely on Yasushi Akimoto anymore.

The empty bottles on the table gradually increased.

"I won't compromise!AKB, it's my pride, it's a combination that I've put all my heart and soul into and all my hard work to build!No matter what you say, Uesugi, I'm going to fight with the Ran system, and I'm going to get back what belongs to me!" Akimoto Yasu's emotions were agitated, and the "father of AKB" was already slightly emotional.

"Uesugi, you're going to support me, right?" Speaking of this, a hint of hope appeared in Akimotoyasu's eyes.

"Sony won't support you, Mr. Akimoto. Uesugi closed his eyes.

"So, do you support me?" Akimoto Yasusu pressed forward step by step, and he didn't even stop eating.

“。。。。。。 Mr. Akimoto。。。 I'm not going to come out to help you directly ... But, I'm rooting for you!" Uesugi said cautiously after looking around at the crowd around her.

The young man's serious expression was reflected in Qiu Yuanyasu's eyes, and Qiu Yuanyasu's heart swelled with three points of gratitude, but more than that, it was fear.

The strength of the Burning Department made this young man secretly express his support for himself, can he really defeat that cunning guy?

In his mind, Zhou Fangliang's cunning face echoed again.

Similarly, Uesugi was sighing, his left index finger caressing the electronic watch on his right wrist.

It was a gift that Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi bought for themselves.

Zhou Fangliang was too anxious, really too anxious, in a hurry to make a move on Takahashi Minami, which had already touched the bottom line of Qiu Yuanyasu, which was tantamount to forcing Qiu Yuankang to make a decision.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Yasuya Akimoto is the producer of AKB no matter what he says.

It seems that in the future, there will be another bloody storm.

"Uesugi, you... How can you help me?" Akimoto Yasushi suppressed his feelings and returned to his usual middle-of-the-ordinary fat autumn appearance.

"I'm already helping you, Akimoto-sensei, what's been going on lately... is an example. Uesugi was silent.

Akimotoyasu's eyes gradually brightened, and he knew what Uesugi Soyuki was talking about!

A week ago, Shimadzu Corporation of Kyushu took over the HKT Theater in Hakata with a very high profile and announced that it had completed the control of the idol group and became the new owner of the girl group.

The effect is very obvious, HKT's business and influence are rapidly expanding, but because the time is too short, Yasushi Akimoto only knows one piece of news.

How can we make use of this connotation to seek more benefits for ourselves?

Until the farewell, Yasu Akimoto was still in a state of hard contemplation, and Uesugi Soyuki couldn't bear to interrupt him.

My goal of coming out of the fat autumn this time has been achieved, and other things should not be extraneous.

Uesugi Muneyuki walked out of the building and got into his Mercedes Benz, he turned his head to look around, and the bustling crowds and noisy environment around him suddenly made him feel a little upset.

He's been really busy and messy lately.

There seemed to be an endless number of things that had been bothering him.

Annoying, annoying, annoying.

Uesugi said to the driver in the front seat, who was also his bodyguard Lance, "Don't drive yet... Let me be quiet. ”

"Okay, boss. Lance replied simply.

Uesugi rolled up the windows and lowered the curtains.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world seems to be fading away, and everything is quiet.

Uesugi Muneyuki closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere.

As a bodyguard, Lance was extremely patient, he didn't say anything, just put his hands on the steering wheel, looked through the rearview mirror, and looked at his boss.

The cloudiness and irritability are fading, and the world is quiet.

This feeling lasted until the Mercedes window was knocked.

"Sir, may I ask what is going on?" a waiter at the hotel knocked on the window.

"Nothing. Lance replied.

"Alright, Lance, let's go!" Uesugi motioned for Lance to start the car.

It seems that I need to give myself a few days off.
