Chapter 697 Nogizaka Entering the Countdown

Just as Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the crew of "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire" and was shooting his second youth campus film in the natural scenery of Shikoku, Chiba Masaki, who was far away in Tokyo, was so busy that he fell asleep None of the time. . .

As the saying goes, if you move your mouth at the top, you will break your legs at the bottom.

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto proposed the Nogizaka project, he handed over the specific implementation tasks to the Nogizaka Operation Committee headed by Chiba Masaki and Kitagawa Kenji.

All the preparatory work, including the selection, was heavily on Chiba Masaki and the others.

However, even so, Chiba Masaki and Kitagawa Kenji both enjoyed it.

After all, these two people have personally seen the charm of idol girl groups, and are willing to devote their energy to the great cause of creating a new idol girl group!

However, in order to prepare for the upcoming national selection, the number of meetings and discussions held by the Nogizaka Committee became more and more frequent. . .

"It's already May, how is our preparation for work?" Sitting in the conference room, Kitagawa Kenji, who was appointed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto as an operation consultant, asked.

"We have asked the public relations department to contact various media, newspapers and magazines, and they all agreed to publish our selection news on the front page of the first week of June. The five major TV stations including TBS, Asahi, and Fuji are also willing Play the selected news as an interstitial advertisement..." The male operation member sitting in the last seat, holding a stack of documents, was also making a detailed work report.

"Uh-huh..."

While listening to the reports of their subordinates, Chiba Masaki and Kitagawa Kenji kept moving their hands, writing down the things they needed to pay attention to in their notebooks.

They don't have the super memory of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, so they can only believe in the good habit of "a good memory is worse than a bad pen".

. . .

After listening to the routine work report, Chiba Masaki, who was sitting at the top, also reminded:

"Our selection will officially start on the [-]st of next month. Time is running out, everyone must hurry up and get all the relevant preliminary preparations done for us!"

"Don't let Director Sakamoto see you in a mess when he comes back, you understand?!"

In just one month, Masaki Chiba, who was promoted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto to the position of executive producer of the Nogizaka project, has been greatly tempered in the heavy work.

The frizz had already faded from the green face.Instead, there is a serious side.

"understood!"

The operation members also shuddered and replied neatly.

"Okay, that's the end of the meeting and dismissed."

Watching the operation members slowly leave the meeting room, only Chiba Masaki and Kitagawa Kenji remained in the meeting room.

Rubbing his swollen temples with his hands, Masaki Chiba couldn't help but think of the guy who threw everything to himself and ran to make a movie, and murmured wryly: "King that damn guy..."

"Eh? What did you say?" Kitagawa Kenji, who was sitting at the side and was about to continue the small meeting with him, did not hear his words clearly.

Chiba Masaki didn't answer, but changed the topic lightly, "Oh, nothing. By the way, this selection, as I said, the initial review is still up to us, and when it comes to the interview review, he will be the judge The identity of the participants will be interviewed."

"Oh, that's it..." Kitagawa Kenji also nodded, expressing his approval, and then asked: "However, did he say when he will come back?"

"He said that the filming is going well now, and if it's fast, it should be finished next month."

"That's good."

At this time, Kitagawa Kenji thought of another question, "So, has he already written the song for his debut?"

When proposing the Nogizaka project, Kiyoshi Sakamoto firmly held the right to decide on Nogizaka's title song.

Therefore, if this Nogizaka is ready to make his debut after finishing his selection, he must get the debut song from Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the project director and chief producer, before he can prepare for dance arrangement, recording, etc.

This is why Kitagawa Kenji asked this question.

In fact, almost all the decision-making power of this project is firmly controlled by Kiyoshi Sakamoto. . .

It is impossible to make a decision without asking Sakamoto Kiyoshi!
"Well, I also asked this question when I was on the phone with him two days ago."

"Then what did he say?"

"He said, there's no rush." ​​Chiba Masaki shrugged and continued: "He also said that it's not too late to decide on the song after the selection is over and after seeing the level of these first-year students."

"However, when the selection is over, it will be mid-August. In this way, the time will be a bit..." Kitagawa Kenji was a little worried.

After all, Nogizaka's existence as an "AKB formula opponent" is of course to catch up with the current AKB traffic, so that he can get a lot of attention as soon as he debuts.

According to the news from the partner AKS, AKB will release multiple singles in the second half of this year.

If you don't grasp the trend of girl groups brought by AKB and let Nogizaka follow the trend, then the title of "AKB Official Rival" is meaningless at all!
However, Chiba Masaki was also prepared for Kitagawa Kenji's concerns.

I saw him looking at it confidently, the cover of the document with the Nogizaka triangle logo printed in his hand, and replied in a relaxed tone:

"We don't need to be so eager to debut, after all, we are not selling the idol's growth process, AKB with a theater model, but a brand new instant combat idol, Nogizaka!"

"What's more, with AKB's current momentum, it's not the peak they can reach..."

"So, we still have plenty of time to polish and polish the Nogizaka diamond, and finally present the most dazzling side to the public...

"The selection will end in mid-August, the titled program will premiere in October, and the official single debut will be in January next year. In this way, we can have at least three months to conduct professional training for these members. During this period of time, we can also learn more about the situation of the members."

"Well, indeed, this is better." After hearing Chiba Masaki's explanation, Kitagawa Kenji nodded in agreement.

However, in Chiba Masaki's words, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "By the way, these words were said by Sakamoto-kun, right?"

"Uh..." Chiba Masaki froze for a moment, showing an embarrassed smile that had been seen through, "Have you discovered it yet? Hee hee..."

"I knew it!"

After finishing speaking, Kitagawa Kenji, who was a little out of breath, directly embraced Chiba Masaki's neck, rubbed his scalp with a knife, and rubbed it hard.

"You kid, actually pretending to be stupid in front of me?!"

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts!"
