Chapter Fifty-Six: Talking
The two of them sat cross-legged on the sofa like this, Nishino was playing Monster Hunter on the side, and Tian Licheng was a spectator on the side, but they were also happy, until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the two of them felt a trace of tiredness.
Lao Tian yawned and stretched, originally going to send the girl home, but when he saw the girl pouting with a reluctant expression, the words became "Nanasai, it's so late, why don't you make up for the night here today?"
Listening to Tian Licheng's words, Xi Ambition was full of joy, smiling like a fresh lily, she nodded, took the PSV, and trotted all the way into Lao Tian's bedroom.
"What kind of nonsense am I talking about, Nana Sai, you have to excuse yourself, so you simply agree, a little out of the routine, what if I'm a weird Shu?" But since it has become a fact that the girl stays overnight, she should go wash up first, and go to bed early after finishing early.
"Nanasei, I'm going to take a shower. ”
"Good~~~"
Tian Licheng hastily rinsed his body, dried his hair, and returned to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nishino living like a cute little squirrel, obediently lying on the left side of the big bed waiting for him. The girl was curled up in a ball, squinting slightly, playing PSV while holding the quilt between her legs, and Lao Tian's gentleman's eyes could even see the shape of the girl's pigeon from her loose pajamas.
"Hey, why did Tian Jun come back so soon. The girl heard Lao Tian pushing the door, turned her head to look at him, and then continued to fight.
"Come back early before you can sleep, you have to work tomorrow, don't play, it's been 2 hours of playing, it's not good for your eyes to always stare at the screen, you're already short-sighted, okay?"
"I know, Tian Jun is so verbose, I'll sleep after this boss fights, if you're sleepy, just turn off the lights and sleep. Nishino has become a game girl, and it seems that he is very dissatisfied with Tian Licheng, who interrupted his interest.
"......" Lao Tian was speechless, seeing the girl playing a serious game with her back to him, he had to wait on the other side of the bed. He didn't want to turn off the lights, because playing games in the dark hurt the girl's eyes more, so he could pay more attention to it, or pay more attention to it.
There was a faint blue light on the game screen on the left side, which made Tian Licheng a little concerned, he was afraid that the girl would be too involved in playing and forgetting the time, so he had to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, but his ears were firmly concerned about the girl's movements.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Nishino to turn off the PSV, and the sound of the machine being placed on the bedside table reassured Lao Tian.
He said hello to the girl, helped her put the quilt on, and turned off the light.
The room went dark, and the only thing they could hear was each other's breathing.
Tian Licheng was a little unaccustomed to having an extra person around him when he was sleeping, and although he tried to force himself to close his eyes, he still couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. He was afraid that the sound of himself turning over would make Nishino noisy, so he simply lay on the bed with his back to the sky, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open and counting sheep.
"Now, Tian Jun, what are you thinking? Can't you sleep?" Nishino's voice came from the left, and it seemed that the girl was not as calm as she had shown before. She was actually quite afraid of black cowardice, and when she first came to Tokyo to live alone, she didn't even dare to sleep alone at night, and finally she had to let her brother, who was also studying in Tokyo, accompany her for a while, and it wasn't until last year that the girl gradually got used to living alone.
"It's a little bit of a concern. By the way, Nana Sai, no matter what, don't be the C of the ninth single of your group, the eighth single is okay, the tenth single is okay, and the ninth single is not good anyway. ”
"Eh, the location of the center is far away from me, after all, Ikoma and Shiraishi are very reliable and have been leading us forward, why would Tian Jun say that?"
Tian Licheng smiled bitterly, he couldn't say to the girl that in his previous life, you were the eighth single to be C, so he had to find a reason: "Because if I am an operator, after the results are stabilized, shouldn't I start thinking about the future?" If the center of the eighth order is not you, in case the ninth single operation makes you a C, try to discuss it with them, and use various reasons, such as being unwell, having something at home, etc., to resign." ”
Nishino didn't understand the meaning of the man's words, turned over, and hugged the man's left arm: "The other members of the center group are eyeing each other, why do you just ask me not to be the C of the ninth order? ”
"Why can't you be? The handshake after your seventh order will be sold out in 3 draws, which is the best selling in your group, isn't Sony's operation always grasping the sales results of the hand club as an important reference for selecting the god of fortune?"
"But I've only been selected for the god of fortune three times in my first seven singles, and I'm still a lot worse than Shiraishi and Hashimoto, who have always been members of the god of fortune. "The girl is a little bit of a lack of confidence.
Lao Tian listened to the girl's words, shook his head silently, and thought: "In your previous life, you will be pushed to the position of C from now on, not only the eighth order, but even the ninth order is your C, if you want to sell in the future, you will be C when you want to save the scene, you are simply a firefighter." But I can't tell you that I dug a hole in the eighth single, because we weren't in the same relationship as we are now. ”
Tian Licheng now has a feeling of self-inflicted sin in his heart, after offering music to Nanxiang, he also said a lot of ideas, that is, he hopes that Nogizaka 46 can explode sales in this single, so as to start his band's fame, as for the results of the ninth single, he doesn't care much at all.
I knew that he would have this kind of relationship with Nishino now, no matter what he said, he wouldn't talk too much, even if the eighth single result was mediocre, he would admit it.
"How do you feel about the song "Romantic Flight"?" Lao Tian did not answer the girl's question directly, but asked her how she felt about her song.
Nishino replied confidently, "I have the desire to travel after listening to this song, and it's a really great song." I think Tian Jun's work will become a famous song. ”
"Actually, the texture of the song itself is only one aspect of the sales, and there are times when good songs are buried. But I heard that HNA's advertising investment this time will be very large, that is to say, this time the publicity of this single will be much larger than any of your previous singles, or even multiplied, and the single is topical enough, and the increase in sales is a sure thing. Lao Tian crossed his hands and pillowed his head, quietly saying his thoughts.
"Isn't that nice?"
"Of course it's good, but what if, I mean, if this single sells 800,000 copies, or even 1 million copies, Nana Sai, what do you think will happen to the ninth single?" Lao Tian also turned over and asked seriously facing Nishino.
Although Nishino couldn't see Tian Licheng's appearance clearly in the dark, he also knew that the man was looking at him now, and when he thought that he was lying on the same bed with him face to face at the moment, the girl's mind was blank: "Eh, you ask me what will happen to the ninth order, I don't know about this, I haven't thought about these at all, maybe it will be sold a little less?"
"If it's not a little, but a lot? If it falls from 800,000 to 600,000, from 1 million to 700,000, how do you think the media will report it?"
"Ahh
"In fact, judging from the comprehensive sales of several singles, the seventh single is more than 400,000, and by the ninth single it has become 600,000 or 700,000, in any case, it is a huge improvement for your group, right? But if you intersperse an eighth single with sales of 800,000 or even 1 million, will the media care that your group's sales are actually rising steadily? ”
"But Tian Jun, since there are so many problems, there is no reason why they can't see it, why do they still have to do this?" the girl asked curiously, subconsciously moving her position and getting closer to Lao Tian.
"Even if you see it, Mr. Akimoto and Kitagawa will take a gamble. Tian Licheng stretched out his hand, gently found Nishino's hair, and stroked it slowly.
Nishino's eyes looked at Lao Tian without blinking, like stars in the night. Tian Licheng's movements made her feel extremely relieved, and she quietly watched Lao Tian like this, waiting for the man's next words.
"It's my own guess, you should listen to the story and forget it. Lao Tian took a deep breath and paused: "Red and white, I think this is the opportunity that Mr. Akimoto and Kitagawa Sang are waiting for, as long as you can be red and white this year, your popularity in Dongying will be greatly improved." First postpone the release time of the eighth order a little, such as the end of July, the beginning of August, and then drag the ninth order to the red and white release, you see, in fact, it is only a window period of less than 5 months, not ......"
The Red and White Song Concert, the full name of Red and White Song Battle, is held by the Toei Broadcasting Association (DHK) on December 31 every year, and is a singing evening that represents the highest level of Toei. The contestants are all the most powerful, popular, and well-behaved singers selected from the Dongying music scene that year, and are loved by the majority of fans. According to gender, the singers are divided into two teams, in which the female singers form the red team and the male singers form the white team.
Whether or not he can appear in this kind of gala with an average rating of more than 40% represents a singer's status in the Dongying music scene. Newcomers who make their debut in red and white will attract more passers-by and fans.
Often in the week or two weeks after the Red and White Song Festival, the sales of the works that appear in the Song Party will increase to varying degrees, which is the annual red and white rejuvenation effect.
"It seems that listening to Tian Jun say this, it's not so terrible. Nishino adjusted the position of the pillow and moved a little closer to the middle.
"I'm afraid there will be an accident, hey, I always think that something will happen, I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly, but for a while I can't guess what will happen, and I always feel a little uneasy. Lao Tian frowned, in his previous life, Nogizaka 46 did not appear on the red and white stage in 2014, as if there was some scandal that had been exposed, but what was the specific situation, he had forgotten a little after so many years.
In the dark, Nishino vaguely felt that Tian Licheng seemed to have something on his mind, so he gently comforted: "Tian Jun, relax your mind, maybe everything will develop in a good way?" she said as she reached out and fumbled to find Tian Licheng's face, and clumsily tried to smooth Tian Licheng's frowning brow with her fingers.
"Well, don't think about it, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." Tian Licheng sighed, ready to take the time to recall the experience of the previous life.
"I want to sleep on Tian Jun's arm, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep, can I borrow it?"
"No problem, come on. This request could not be refused, and Lao Tian begged to contribute his arm.
Nishino comfortably pillowed Tian Licheng's left arm, and the man put his right hand around her slender waist, and the two of them gently hugged each other face to face and fell asleep peacefully.
