Chapter 68: Mai Shiraishi also has a surprise
It is very common in Japan to set up a production committee.
It originated in Japan and is also popular in Japan.
In fact, this risk-sharing method is not only active in the production of animation and films, but also in various business projects and large-scale projects of various companies.
As recently, we came across one such example, and its name is - Nanase Nishino Graduation Production Committee.
Afternoon, Tokyo, spacious conference room.
The committee in charge of the Nishino Nanase Graduation Affairs held its second meeting of the week.
The graduation of the members is not big or small, but if you put it on Nanase Nishino, a popular member of one of the top girl idol groups in this small island country, it is indeed an out-and-out big event.
It is great in various senses.
Cumbersomeness, impact, and ...... Business value.
Whether it is the production and sale of graduation goods or the graduation concert to be held next year, all these will bring a considerable amount of profit to the studio.
It seems that it has only been a short time since the graduation of the last core member, Rina Ikoma, and Yumi Wakatsuki also announced her graduation not long ago, and now with the words of Nanase Nishino, it seems that Nogizaka 46 has ushered in a wave of graduation.
In Nogizaka's short history, the last time someone like Nanase Nishino caused such a huge sensation after graduation seems to have been two years ago.
But when it comes to pomp and preparation costs, the magnificence of the fireworks in the chapter of Nishino Nanase's idol career is absolutely unprecedented.
The operation level intends to take advantage of the graduation of Nanase Nishino to create a "historical" show.
Even if Yumi Wakatsuki's graduation is still being planned and followed-up, more than that, the departments still focus on Nanase Nishino's side.
"Last week, we confirmed the matter of Nishino-san's graduation concert."
"And this morning, there was official news that we have obtained permission to use Kyocera Dome, and the relevant procedures are being approved."
"In addition, the concert date is tentatively scheduled for the last day of the anniversary concert."
"The repertoire includes 177 songs from the debut so far, and the playlist for these four days is still being compiled."
"What's more, this performance will be broadcast live in theaters across the country, and we are actively negotiating with major theaters, and we will probably be able to count the number next week."
"Okay, let's report about the concert here, and then it's about the recording of the MV for the title song."
"The MV script and camera equipment have been roughly prepared, and the director has already made an appointment, so when the schedule of each member is arranged, it will almost be ready to start filming......
"Hey? Nishino-san? ”
Everyone in the conference room looked at Nanase Nishino, who suddenly raised his hand.
Because the room was a group of people who knew each other well, the atmosphere of the two meetings was not very serious, but laughter spread from time to time.
Therefore, Nanase Nishino did not arouse everyone's disgust, on the contrary, everyone now looked at her with curiosity.
"I have a little idea about the MV." Nanase Nishino met everyone's eyes and said calmly.
"Well, please."
"For this MV, I would like to recommend someone to make a special appearance."
"But... The script is there, and Sawamoto-san has ......"
This is an internal meeting about Nanase Nishino's graduation, and if you want to discuss the music video set, shooting, etc., a more professional and intimate meeting will be held, and the director, screenwriter, and other related personnel will be invited to attend.
But now this is clearly not the place to talk about MV matters.
"I'll talk about Mr. Zemoto, including Mr. Guan and Liang." Nanase Nishino seemed to have already thought of his words, and he still looked calm in the face of the head of the committee who was hesitant.
The Kwan Kazumi mentioned here is the director of the MV for the title song of Nogizaka 46's 22nd single "Go Home and Take a Long Detour", and Mr. Sawamoto, that is, Yoshimitsu Sawamoto, is the screenwriter of the MV, and by the way, Yosamitsu Sawamoto is also the script designer of the two MVs of "Unrequited Love When I Perceive" and "Tonight I Have Someone I Want to Talk To".
"If you can convince those two, of course it's fine."
"Ah, that's great."
The person in charge nodded and did not continue on this topic, in fact, from the moment this production committee was established, there has always been a policy - to carry out as much as possible according to the wishes of Nanase Nishino himself.
The graduation consequence was held at Kyocera Dome at the strong desire of Nanase Nishino, and the office sent personnel to negotiate.
Compared to this, it is not a big thing to increase the number of special appearances, of course, the premise is that Nanase Nishino has to talk to the director and screenwriter in advance, after all, the script and the cast have been basically established in early September.
The meeting has also come to an end here, and the end of the meeting has also been lined more clearly as the meeting staff continue to walk out.
Nanase Nishino got up and was about to leave, but was stopped.
"Please wait a minute, Nishino-san."
"Huh?"
"Actually, there's one more thing I want to inform you."
"Eh, what is it?"
"It's Santo Ichinozawa who I came to ask......"
"Ichino Sasawa-san?"
"Ichino Sawa is a designer who has collaborated with us, and he designed the uniform for 22 orders this time, and the uniform for 21 orders before was also (all the way up to 25 orders)."
"Ah, I see."
Nanase Nishino showed a knowing expression, but then looked at the person in charge who left her with puzzled eyes.
This Mr. in charge did not make Nanase Nishino wait too long.
"What's more, Ichino Sawa was also in charge of the design of the red and white clothes."
"Huh? Red and white? ”
"Well, although the list will not be announced until late November, no matter whether you can be selected or not, as long as you are likely to participate, the costumes for singing must be prepared."
"I see, so Ichino Sawa-san wants me to do something?"
"Actually, it's not a request, Ichino Sawa San understands that this red and white has an extraordinary meaning for Nishino-san, so he wants to tell you: If Nishino Nanase-san has any small requirements for clothing, please just let me know."
"Huh? I don't know anything about design, so I'm not qualified to make any suggestions, so please tell Ichino Sawa and let him do it. ”
"I see, Ichino Sawa also said that if you have an idea, you can ask your agent to contact him."
"Not really...... By the way, can you help me ask, if the design is completed, can you show me a sample? ”
"Oh, okay, is the sample in Nishino-san's size?"
"No, I want to think about ......."
……
Nanase Nishino doesn't have the quirk of turning on the lights when she's not at home.
Like now, when she pressed the password and walked into the entrance, she ushered in a bright scene, which is very rare.
"A thief?"
This is a thought born in Nishino Nanase's heart.
However, such thoughts were immediately expelled from her mind.
Because in addition to her, there are several other members who know the password to the door of her apartment.
Put away the shoes and socks in the entrance, it is said that the years make people grow, Nishino Nanase is now past the age of throwing socks at will, she stepped on slippers and walked out of the entrance slowly, and there was no trace of panic on her calm face.
But soon, she panicked.
"Why are you here?!"
Nanase Nishino looked at Yuno Suzuki on the sofa with a blank expression.
Yuno Suzuki was so startled by Nanase Nishino's shout that he immediately jumped up from the sofa, and then stood up straight, almost saluting.
"That, that ......" Yuno Suzuki was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today, so she was just able to hide two small fists in her sleeves, she held down the hem of her clothes tightly, and under the gaze of Nanase Nishino, her expression was extremely cramped.
"Shiraishi said... Say she's going to surprise you too. ”
