Chapter 50: Nanami Hashimoto's Determination
While Nanase Nishino is constantly bombarding Tian with photos in Sanya, Nanami Hashimoto, as the heroine of another advertisement, is filming in a studio in Tokyo, wearing a white shirt, a black suit, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
In this plot, OL played by Hashimoto walks the streets of Tokyo with a tired face after a busy day at work. At this time, she suddenly received a greeting text message from her boyfriend, in which her boyfriend confided in him how much he missed her, and agreed to come to Dongying to find her whenever he was free.
The girl exited the text message and looked stupidly at the photo of the two people on campus on the phone wallpaper. At this time, she saw an advertisement for the HNA Dongying-HN special line on TV, and she made up her mind not to wait any longer and go to HN to find her boyfriend by herself.
After purchasing a ticket to HN, she took a leave of absence from her employer and embarked on a walk-and-go trip.
After getting on the plane, she was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in the air, but when she thought that her boyfriend might not be available to meet her at the airport, she felt a little apprehensive.
When she arrived at the airport, the girl walked aimlessly with her head bowed and aimlessly following the crowd. Suddenly, she heard someone shouting her name, it was his voice! She immediately looked up and looked around, and when she saw her boyfriend rushing towards her in the distance, the girl stood stupidly in place, with tears in her eyes, and silently said "Great".
The whole storyline is about a minute, and the filming content of Nanami Hashimoto is more complicated than Nishino's, because the advertisement also needs to show the girl's psychological transformation process from cowardice to bravery, and naturally the requirements for performance are a little higher.
But this is not very difficult for her, after all, the girl has starred in several late-night TV dramas last year, and even appeared in Fujitai's Tsukijiu drama "Nude Summer". Although the ratings of that drama were a mess, she also accumulated a lot of experience in the filming of the TV series.
But during the filming of this advertisement, Hashimoto vaguely felt a trace of doubt, and even doubted his role: his role was too much, a little excessive, and even a little unreasonable.
Generally speaking, such a commercial should be starred by all Nogizaka, even if it is not a full member, several members of the selection team should also be on it, and even if the members of the selection team are not on, Mai Shiraishi, Sayuri Matsumura, and Nanase Nishino should also appear.
She also asked the staff about the work schedules and schedules of the other members, but the staff around her were tight-lipped and surprisingly consistent: the other members had their own part of the content being filmed, and the post-editor would synthesize the shooting content of different members into a complete advertisement.
But Staff's words Hashimoto didn't believe it at all, the harder she tried to guess the other plots of the advertisement, the more she felt that she was the heroine of the commercial, because the content she filmed from Dongying to HN, it was already a very complete plot, and her own side was already in a big battle, if other TOP were also treated the same, how much budget would the operation burn!
She didn't know that when she was filming the first half of the film in Dongying, Nishino was filming another commercial at HN, and when Nishino returned to Dongying, she would then leave for HN to shoot the airport part, and the operation was deliberately kept secret, staggering the itinerary between the two, and all of this was due to the bad taste of a certain classmate.
Taking advantage of the break between shooting, Nanami Hashimoto hid in the bathroom on the set alone, ready to calmly think about the current situation and sort out the ideas for the commercial.
Could the other members also shoot the whole story alone? If so, how many versions of the ad will there be? Is HNA ready to choose the best one out of so many?
"Does that mean that if this version is the best, I'll have a chance to be a center?"
Hashimoto didn't insist on the position of Nogizaka 46's single center, but he was not without desire: "Obviously, since my debut single, I have always been a god of good luck, and the results of the handshake meeting have always been among the best in the group, why can't I take the center position?"
She leaned in front of the sink and slowly scrubbed her hands in the basin, her plain hands like mutton fat jade were more clear against the background of the water, and even the small blood vessels on the back of her hands were clearly visible.
"Ikoma is the center designated by Yasushi Akimoto and the operation.,That's it.,Mai is also a center in the sixth single.,Even the second-stage student Horimi Nana can be airborne in the C position of the seventh single.,Why can't I be a C?I've been working hard.,I'm not good at dancing and singing.,In order to catch up with other members.,I'm practicing hard even in my spare time!"
The girl's heart is very dissatisfied with the operation of the seventh single airborne in the second phase of the birth as C, because she feels that after the sixth single Shiraishi is C, the operation may consider letting herself who is also TOP or Matsumura Sayuri also try the C position, no matter how bad it is, let the handshake will be the result of the breakthrough Nanase Nishino, or change back to Ikoma Rina, I can also accept it.
Having a member who hasn't contributed anything to the rise of Nogizaka 46 as a C is something she can't accept anyway. So in the cover photo of the seventh single "バレッタ", Hashimoto and Shiraishi, who had the same idea, were full of aura, completely stealing the limelight from Horimi Nana, who was sitting in the middle.
Hashimoto slowly raised his head and quietly looked at himself in the mirror, compared to when she first joined the group, the girl was much more beautiful, her appearance was more standard, and her figure was more and more graceful, but her clenched fists showed the waves in her heart.
"If I can become a center, I should get more resources for operation, right?
Standing out from an idol group full of beautiful women is a difficult goal for every member.
What's more, the girls of Nogizaka 46 are generally online, and "joining Nogizaka proves that you are a beauty" is a sentence that fans of mainland Naizu often like to brag. And Dongying's local fans are also proud of this. The banana people shouted even more arrogantly at the Red and White Song Party, "Nogizaka has no army of ugly girls!"
Nana Hashimoto didn't know that she was weak in singing and dancing, and if she wanted to break through, she had to try to develop in the direction she was capable of, such as broadcasting and modeling. And the best way to get these jobs is to increase your popularity in Dongying and brush up on your presence.
Therefore, the girl will face every handshake meeting very seriously, even if standing for a long time often makes her back ache and can't stand upright, but in the face of fans, even if she endures the pain, she has to smile and do her best to show her best side.
And now she flickered with a feeling that the door of fate was beckoning to her, and she subconsciously felt that this advertisement was her own opportunity, and whether she could grasp it or not depended on her next performance!
What's more, she has already heard from the staff that the operation has a lot of confidence in the sales of the eighth single.
Whether it is the producer of Kitagawa or the director Li Qian behind the scenes, they all think that with the help of this song, Nogizaka 46 can get rid of the embarrassing situation that the public generally believes, "all singles are good songs, but there is no HIT work".
SINCE THE IDOL GROUPS REPRESENTED BY AKB AND ARASHI DOMINATED THE DONGYING MUSIC SCENE, DONGYING'S SONGS ARE NOW MORE INCLINED TO A RELAXED AND CUTE SALIVA SONG STYLE.
Although there are many good songs, it has been a long time since there has been a big HIT song recognized by the industry, and this song, I heard that even Director Li Qian is coveted, and even wants to let the Rainbow Orchestra, which has always been composed by himself, sing.
"If I can become a center in this work that has the potential to make history, even if I really quit the group and graduate one day, I will definitely have no regrets when I look back on my idol experience in the future. ”
Nana Hashimoto wiped the somewhat misty mirror, combed her bangs, and couldn't help but recall the man she had seen at the campus festival of Tokyo University.
"It's such an interesting guy, it's the first time I've seen a keyboardist show off his steps on stage. A smile appeared on the girl's face.
The man who is talented, gentle and considerate in Nanasai's mouth, the man who smiles as warm as the sun and shows cute dimples.
THE SONGWRITER OF THE EIGHTH SINGLE IS THAT GUY! ISN'T THE HOTTEST TOPIC ON THE INTERNET THESE DAYS BEING MY DEAR MATES' SUPPORT SONG FOR AKB48 MEMBERS? PANDA-san, why do you have to wear a mask? Actually, you have a good laugh.
Although the two of them only said a few words before the concert, Nanami Hashimoto had a very good impression of Tian Licheng: young and low-key, and now in the entertainment industry, there is a world of difference between the uncle and the little fresh meat who wants to soak young beauties when they have money.
"I heard that Kitagawa-san and Minamigo-san have been thinking that they can poach him to Sony Music as a behind-the-scenes producer. If I can get on good terms with him, one day, if he does come to Sony, maybe I'll take care of myself a little more, after all, he seems to be quite talkative, and he is also very kind to Nanasai. ”
Hashimoto thought that Tian Licheng was still a student at Tokyo University, and he became more and more identified with him, because the girl studied very well when she was a child, and even won the first grade in the province, if she didn't become an idol, she should be sitting in the university classroom like Lao Tian at this moment to prepare for the final exam.
In the Dongying entertainment industry, the status of idols is not high. Take the popular AKB48 as an example, most of the girls in the GROUP earn a few thousand to 10,000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to the level of ordinary company employees in Dongying. And even if it is a top-level member, the income depends on each person's different situation.
For example, Mayu Watanabe, who often appears on the cover of magazines, Yuki Kashiwagi, who is also the head of HKT, often appears on variety shows, and even has the title show Rino Shihara, model, MC, Yona Kojima, who is developing in multiple directions, and Yuko Oshima, who is about to graduate and is developing in the direction of an actress, their income is at the top level among female idols, and they can have about three million a year. It looks like a lot, but compared with the tens of millions of income of other big singers, MCs, and funny artists, their income is still pitiful, after all, these are already the top idols in Dongying Province.
Nogizaka already belongs to the conscience of the industry in this regard, and the basic salary alone is much higher than that of AKBGROUP, after all, Sony has a lot of money, and the number of members of Nogizaka is only a fraction of that of AKBGROUP.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is a matter of resources. If the resources of the agency are limited and the members can only participate in their own programs, the income will definitely not be high just by relying on the attention of fans.
If the members have the ability to get a job in the field, then the income will naturally be much higher, but if you don't have enough fans and not enough popularity, who will give you a job?
This is a bowl of youth rice, if the idol can't earn enough pension money when he is young, I'm afraid he will only be able to brush up on the sense of existence with some announcements on the former idol's hall of fame in the future, and take some photos of selling meat. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a rich man to marry, and then marry and raise children and become a housewife.
"If the eighth single can sell 500,000 copies, it means that the guy will have to earn 2 million in royalties alone. I've been working hard for more than two years since I joined Nogizaka, and I haven't made so much money, and he only needs one song...... "Hashimoto's heart is both envious and feels a deep sense of powerlessness, for some people, making money seems so simple, as natural as drinking water and eating, but for her, it means hard sweat day after day.
"The world is so unfair. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, the light in the bathroom made her face a little pale, and the girl's onion-like fingers touched the self in the mirror: "But the world is inherently unfair, compared to other miserable people, I am lucky enough, now the opportunity is in front of me, what can I think about except to grasp it? After all, I am just a small fish in the river, and there is only one way to go, only to struggle upwards." ”
"For this commercial, I must do my best, shoot it impeccably, and then win the center of this single. The girl was determined to take this opportunity to behave well.
Not only for Hashimoto himself, but also for his mother and younger brother in Hokkaido, who also did well in his studies, and it was not difficult for him to get into a university in Tokyo. She felt that as an older sister, she must work hard to save enough for her brother's tuition so that he could successfully complete college. After all, she had dropped out of school, and she didn't want her brother to follow in her footsteps......
At this time, Staff's voice came from afar, "Hashimoto-san, it's time to rest, and the shooting is about to begin." ”
"Hi~~~ Coming soon. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes widened, she waved her fist fiercely, and put on a handsome expression: "The next shooting is also going to come on! Nanamin, you can do it!"
