Chapter Thirty-Seven: Lao Tian Begins to Fool Nishino

"Her inadvertent smile is as addictive as a drug, and before you know it, you will forget what you want to do!" - "A Confession of a Wreck, Teach You How to Become a Scumbag - Nishino Nanase Chapter" by Tian Licheng

Nanase Nishino's eyes widened and she shook her head: "Eh, what will I do after graduation? ”

"Well, after all, you're only 20 years old today, so it's a little early. Lao Tian held his forehead with his hand, this topic was transferred too bluntly, which did not meet the actual situation of the interlocutor, and he silently gave himself a score of 0.

"Tian Sang, you are only a year older than me, why do you talk like an uncle, it's really disobedient. The girl covered her mouth and laughed.

Lao Tian made persistent efforts and changed a new topic: "Nanasai, what do you think is the so-called idol?"

"Hmm~~~ Idols, I just want to show my vitality and vitality on the stage and in front of the camera, so that fans can be happy. Saying that, Nishino shyly smiled at Lao Tian: "Just like this, what does Tian Sang think of my smile?" The girl's smile is like a blooming lily, so touching, even if she is without makeup, it is difficult to hide her youthful charm.

Lao Tian clutched his chest, looking like he had been hit by an arrow: "It's so cute, hmm~ I can't do it! I feel like I'm melting, Nana Sai's smile is high!"

After finishing speaking, he paused for a few seconds to reminisce, and then shook his finger: "But idols are not just about smiling, does Nana have any other opinions?"

Nishino saw that Tian Licheng liked his smile so much, and his heart was sweet. Regarding Lao Tian's question, she thought for a while and whispered: "The company has cultivated us, we have to make money for the company." ”

Lao Tian agreed, since the girl knew that this was a business, then some of his opinions could be shared, he didn't want the girl to think that she was a copper-smelling guy, although sometimes it was impossible to have no money. However, he also felt that the girl who spoke directly and dryly might not be able to listen to it, maybe it would be better to find something to use as an example.

He looked around for a while, and when he saw the cake on the table, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the cake and asked, "Nanasai, look, does this cake look particularly delicious and shiny?"

Nishino nodded, a little confused, wasn't he still talking about idols just now?

"Idols are like the ingredients of a cake, the company is the baker. The members are made and cultivated by the company from the raw materials to become a qualified cake embryo, and then add packaging and publicity, which is like adding cream to the cake and decorating it with various decorations, and finally it becomes an extremely exquisite product. ”

"Then the cake shop started selling the cake for a profit. It's like the idols of the past, such as Seiko Matsuda, Akina Nakamori, and Shizuka Kudo, they are all super strong in their individual abilities, but they are all alone. ”

Lao Tian paused for a moment, looked at Nanase Nishino, and found that the girl listened very carefully, and his energy was a little up.

However, the company slowly discovered that if only one kind of cake is sold in the cake shop, no matter how high the quality of the cake is, no matter how good the taste is, customers will get bored sooner or later if they buy it repeatedly. As a result, the variety of cakes in the cake shop began to slowly increase, but the process of making them began to be simplified, after all, it takes too much effort and cost for the company to create a perfect product. ”

"Gradually, there are more and more chocolate-flavored, cheese-flavored, strawberry-flavored, and various flavors of cakes, even if you don't like chocolate, you can always find one you like, just like Speed in the 90s, Good Morning Girl. There are fewer and fewer single idols, and there are more and more group idols, but there is no doubt that the individual strength of idols is no longer as good as that of their predecessors. ”

Lao Tian cut the rest of the cake into small pieces, took out four and arranged them in a row, and motioned for the cakes that were on the shelves.

Nishino nodded, indicating that he understood what Lao Tian meant.

Lao Tian took one of the four cakes on display, and then took two more cakes from the side to add: "As the important members get older, graduation is inevitable, and the cake shop can only retain customers by constantly introducing new products, so it is also essential to constantly replenish fresh blood." AKB48 has recruited the 15th student, and the total number of team members is more than 400 people, and Nogizaka has also recruited the second student, and the Good Morning Girl family doesn't know how many derivative combinations there are. ”

"It's no wonder that AKB recruits new members every year, and they recruit so often just to ensure the freshness of the group!" Nishino couldn't help but be stunned when he thought of the huge scale of AKB48.

Lao Tian said with a smile: "But there is another problem here, since everyone makes cakes, why do the things in the AKB48 cake shop sell so well, while the other cake shops don't sell well? ”

Nishino thought for a moment with his little head on his shoulders, "Because there are a lot of people in AKB48, right? Or is it Akimoto-sensei's background?"

"It's just part of it, I think the most important thing is the kitchen of the AKB48 cake shop!" Lao Tian pointed to his own kitchen.

"Kitchen?"

"What is AKB48 all about? idols you can meet. So where is their selling point, and why do you need Don Quixote's theater?" Lao Tian tried to induce Nishino's train of thought.

Nishino suddenly let out an "ah" and suddenly realized: "It's that AKB48's kitchen is open, and customers can see how the chef inside is making cakes!"

"BINGO! That's right!" Lao Tian gave a thumbs up and gave Nishino an encouraging look: "This is another key point in idol management, a sense of cultivation." Some customers like to buy finished cakes, while others just like to watch the cake making process. Therefore, some of the fans of AKB48 are graduate students who only support face brushing in the theater and are half-finished, and do not push those TOP members who are already finished products. ”

Nishino said excitedly: "Tian San, when you use the metaphor of a cake shop, I seem to understand a lot of operational ideas!"

"Oh? Lao Tian saw that Nishino looked eager to try, and couldn't help but be full of interest and wanted to hear the girl's thoughts.

Nishino tilted his head sideways, wrenched his fingers and said, "The general election of AKB48 is actually to let customers vote for which cake in the store is the best-selling, and the one that sells the most is naturally Center, and it should be placed in the best position in the store." ”

Lao Tian nodded approvingly: "Yes, the general election is like this, the customer pays, and the cake shop makes the final profit, so you should treat it as a promotional event." As for the members with the highest number of votes, they are naturally the ones with the strongest ability to absorb money, and of course they must get the company's resources tilted. ”

Nishino thought about it with his cheeks on his cheeks, and said again: "Our Nogizaka 46 is actually a cake shop, but the types of cakes in it are different from AKB, and there is no general election, and it is purely up to the cake shop owner to choose who to be the center." ”

"Not bad, yes, is there anything else?" Lao Tian smiled, hoping that the girl would say more.

It's just that Nishino seemed to be stumped, the girl tilted her head, and smiled and showed her snow-white teeth: "Hehe, I can't think of anything else for the time being, Tian San, hurry up and tell me what you think"

"Haha, in fact, there are really a lot of ideas. For example, I've put the way to surpass AKB48 on the table. Lao Tian said, while holding a small piece of cake and stuffing it into his mouth: "Well, the taste is really good, I can't stop at all, which cake shop is this, I must go and have a good look next time." ”

"Huh?" Nishino opened his mouth wide with a surprised expression: "More than AKB?"

"Kawaii. Lao Tian couldn't help but admire in his heart, even if the surprised expression was so cute, Nishino was really a 360-degree idol without dead ends.

He forked a piece of cake, stuffed it into Nishino's open mouth, and said meaningfully: "Of course, the operation strategy of the cake shop is also very important, you can imagine it as ~~ Well, the way to advertise." ”

"Hmm, Ni Kuaishuo, whew, suddenly stuffed such a big chunk, I almost choked to death by you, really. Nishino complained, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, this was his affection for me.
