Chapter 540: AKB Draft Meeting
"Anything else important?" Kagawa asked.
Shinichi Morita, who was sitting behind Nako Matsumoto, stood up from his position.
"Kagawa-san, in the past year, our company should not have produced any particularly high-quality films, I have the impression that the company's last movie with good quality and reputation is "Loyal Dog Hachiko", I think it is necessary for our company to plan a few excellent film works."
"Kagawa-san, I think Morita-san's opinion is very good, but we have to see that in recent years, the domestic film screen has been in a historical low ebb, and now the most popular film genre is undoubtedly the theatrical version of anime, the theatrical version of TV dramas and foreign anime works, it can be said that our country's film industry has now become a deformed form. Films and film markets in other countries are booming, only our country's film market is constantly sluggish, and it is difficult to make a popular and blockbuster film in this era. Kawashima sighed.
Kagawa Yu rubbed his brows and sighed lightly.
"I don't know what you said, this should be the cause of the economic recession of the whole country, speaking of which I really envy the prosperous film economy of Chinese mainland, but unfortunately, the complicated relationship between the two countries does not allow me to cooperate well with my Chinese counterparts."
Inoue Tsuyoshi and Matsumoto Nako smiled bitterly at each other, this is a big thing at the national level, they are small people can't manage these big things, the only hope is that the relationship between the two countries will not affect their cooperation with Chinese mainland.
"I think I recently held a general election in the company, a popularity survey for all the artists in the company, of course, this general election does not need to buy voting tickets, but through my mobile phone text messages and online voting to conduct a popularity survey, what do you think?" Kagawa Yu said suddenly.
Tsuyoshi Inoue, Nako Matsumoto, and Eiyuki Kawashima looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of nerves their boss was.
"Is Kagawa-san talking about including everyone?" Inoue asked.
"Yes. Reported Hoshino, Maeda, Oshima, Trindle, Nogizaka 46 and everyone else. Kagawa Yu said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then I guess there are very few people who will be Hoshino-san's opponents." Inoue said with a smile.
"We'll see."
At the same time, Nogizaka 46's 5th anniversary concert is also being prepared in an orderly manner, and Kagawa Ha borrowed from the members of AKB48's 'God Ten' to propose the Five Lucky Gods.
So far, four members, Nanami Hashimoto, Rina Ikoma, Erika Ikuta, and Nanase Nishino, have won the position of the Five Lucky Gods, while the other members are competing for the position of the remaining Five Good Fortune Gods. Among these members. At present, the leading position is undoubtedly Mai Fukagawa. Girls such as Reika Sakurai, Takayama Ichimi, and Maya Wada, who are more valued by Kagawa Yu, are temporarily at a disadvantage in the competition with Mai Fukagawa.
Mai Fukagawa is the oldest member of the Nogizaka 46 group, and she is 22 years old this year, even a few months older than the first generation members of AKB, such as Tomomi Itano, Atsuko Maeda, and Minami Takahashi. Mai Fukagawa stood in the C position when she was in the third single, and in her usual life, she took great care of Nogizaka's little sisters, and this time she competed for the position of the Five Lucky Gods, in fact, she had already obtained one of the positions. And Ikuta Erika temporarily stopped performing activities due to academic matters, and a place was vacated, and the other members were competing for the vacated position of Ikuta Erika.
Recently, because Kagawa Yu and Kagawa Snow lived in Nogizaka's apartment, the members of Nogizaka also became more and more like little witches under the influence of Kagawa Yuki. Especially the two members of Wada Maya and Takayama Ichimi, with the support of Kagawa Xue, they can be said to be unscrupulous. But it is precisely the existence of these two or three living treasures that can be said to be laughter in the Nogizaka apartment.
On August 31st, less than a week after the AKB48 Tokyo Giant Single Concert ended, AKB48's official website released a major news that AKB48 will hold its first AKB48 draft meeting in November.
The draft is based on the same system as the selection of new players in professional baseball, and it is made up of the captains of all the teams of the four sister groups in Japan, AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, and HKT48, after consultation with the managers of each theater. Nominate the person from among the candidates for use on their team. Those who are selected will be able to join the establishment as new members.
Candidates related to the "draft meeting" are candidates who are through the "AKB48 family, draft meeting, candidate audition". In the past, auditions for the AKB family were held separately for each sister group, and applicants chose the group they wanted to join. But this event. Even if you pass the audition, you will not immediately decide which group to join (you may be asked to fill in your own preferences), but you will decide where to go based on the results of the meeting
This news has attracted the attention of AKB fans and the entertainment media, and many fans have asked in various ways whether the holding of this draft meeting means the end of AKB48's graduate program. Many fans think that this so-called draft system is a bit in conflict with the graduate school system itself, and if each team selects the team from the draft meeting, it will mean that it will be difficult for many graduate students to come out again.
Tomonobu Togasaki, the director of AKB48's customer service center, told fans very clearly. Their worries are unfounded. The AKB48 draft meeting is nothing more than a supplement to the graduate school system.
Numerous media outlets commented that this was another strategic attempt by Yasushi Akimoto's AKB business empire. If this draft system is successful, it will be as important an impact on the entertainment industry as the general election system, and the success of this system will also monopolize domestic resources. If this system is implemented, it will be very scary, and if it continues, the AKB will become a similar existence to Janiss.
And as a mortal enemy of Yasushi Akimoto. "Weekly Bunchun" commented that this is a restrictive measure formulated by Ota Office, Yasu Akimoto and AKS in order to limit Kagawa Yu's monopoly on AKB's outstanding members, because where Kagawa Yu's golden sign is, most of the excellent members will not be able to refuse Kagawa Yu's olive branch, so in order to break this monopoly, so the draft system came into being.
