Chapter 451 Guilt
🕑 Added 2025-09-09 15:10:17 +0000 UTCKujo Fuu knew very well that if he used the answer he had just given to Akimoto to evade Nanaya, it would definitely not work and might even leave a bad impression on the other party.
Even if the other party doesn't reject me directly, what if I don't take him/her along when filming a movie in the future?
The reason I joined the Trier team is more for the Trier platform, right?
The most core and attractive resources of Trier are in the hands of the internationally renowned director Nanaya Kiryu.
[Should I answer based on my true heart? Then what is my true heart? ]
"I...I want to give it a try."
After thinking for a while, Kujo Fuu pursed his lips and whispered, "I want to know where my limits are."
Everything I have now was given by my family, so what are my limits?
【I want to bear witness to myself.】
This is Kujo Fuu’s true inner thought.
"Your own limit? Then I have another question." Nanaya continued to ask, "What plans do you have for your future? Is it just to become Trier's idol?"
"Of course not. Idols are important, but they are only a part of my life. Whether it's the path of an artist or the path of my life, I have more important goals to achieve."
Kujo Fuu tightly gripped the microphone and spoke to all the judges in a sonorous and powerful tone.
"The path of being an idol is not easy. You have to obey the operations arrangements and work hard." Nanaya reminded.
"I will definitely stick to it."
There is no use of [try your best], but rather [definitely].
At least at this stage, this eldest lady of the old Chinese family is still very determined.
But Nanaya also knew that the reason why Miss Kujo was so determined now was more due to the atmosphere of the on-site selection, which made her feel as if her blood was boiling.
The current excitement is only temporary. Whether she can continue to hold on depends on her performance in the future.
Next, Akimoto also asked a few very simple questions.
Of course, the fat man was simply going through the procedure.
When Kujo Fuu stepped down, he did not ask her to wait for notification, but directly signaled her to report to the backstage operations department.
This is probably the first candidate who has been directly informed that he has passed the review and become an official member since the final review began.
However, in Nanaya and Yasushi's opinion, it is not a loss to bring a young lady in.
This girl’s idol qualifications are quite good, and she is also a true noble lady.
From Luvia to Lily, Trier has always maintained the tradition of noble female members.
After years of operation, Trier has gained a lot of loyal fans of the idol Miss Kitchen Noble.
From this point of view, Miss Kujo is just the right person to become the third generation noble lady to succeed Lily.
It’s a pity that, except for Astolfo and Kujo Fuu, the other girls who came to participate in the competition did not make Nanaya particularly impressed.
Akimoto did discover a few good talents, but many of them were more suitable for his own AKB rather than Trier, which had already begun to develop all over the world.
However, Akimoto still selected a few good foot-washing maid members to set off Trier's main forces.
Don’t underestimate the foot-washing maiden. The brightness of red flowers also needs green leaves to set off them.
No matter which idol group it is, foot-washing maid members are definitely necessary.
Moreover, the title of foot-washing maid is relative to other people. Considering Trier’s own popularity, there are still many people who support the title of foot-washing maid.
It’s just that the income and resources generated are far less than those of Rin and Lily.
"I think Kiryu and the others can try to recruit members from all over the world. After all, you have a very good start now, it would be a shame if you don't expand globally."
After the final selection event ended, Akimoto Yasushi said this to Nanaya.
After a whole day of final review, Akimoto Yasushi, Nanaya, Rin and Trier's supporting operator sat together to discuss the final results.
The final result of the discussion was that Trier recruited a total of five official members, headed by Kujo Fuu.
However, these girls will first be gathered together for special idol training, and are expected to be officially announced in April.
The reason for doing this is to be on the safe side. If it is published first and some members withdraw at that time, it will be embarrassing.
By the way, that Baka Astolfo was not selected.
After all, the other party's gender issue made Nanaya unable to make up his mind.
Finally, it was Akimoto who came up with an idea for Nanaya: "It's a pity that the kid named Astolfo was eliminated. You can start a sub-group for him. Don't say it's a girl idol group, just say it's with Trier."
To put it bluntly, it is just skirting the concept.
Even if Astolfo's gender is revealed at that time, this reason can be used to cover it up.
We never said he was a girl at the beginning, you fans thought so.
This statement is of course a rogue one, but considering the size of Washimine, just an excuse will suffice.
Rin was a little puzzled: "Isn't it a waste to open a separate sub-group? And isn't it a bit..."
It's obvious that a person staying alone in the deputy group is trying to cover up something.
"It doesn't matter, just bring in two more foot-washing maids."
For the wealthy Washimine, supporting two people is no problem.
"Besides, if we add a few more people, it will be a perfect solution."
"Others?"
Rin heard the hidden meaning in Nanaya's words.
Nanaya glanced at Akimoto Yasushi and said, "I have already communicated with Mr. Akimoto Yasushi before. Starting this year, he will join the team as the second producer of Trier and be responsible for part of the actual operation."
Trier's number one producer is Shion, and there is no way that Hiaki could replace her.
By the way, Nanaya, the second in power at Trier, doesn't actually hold any position in the team.
His power in Trier comes more from Shion's trust and authorization, which is a bit like the feeling of an imperial envoy.
Akimoto Yasushi smiled and nodded to everyone: "Please give me your guidance from now on."
Akimoto was very proud at this moment.
Although Nanaya said it easily, in fact, Akimoto has obtained considerable operational power in Trier.
It is said to be part, but in fact, according to the direct py transaction between Nanaya and Yasushi, except for the actor promotion related to Washimine's film, which Trier must cooperate unconditionally, the rest of Trier's activities are all under the management of Yasushi.
Washimine has very few restrictions on Yasushi. The only requirement is that Trier's idol revenue this year should be 1.5 times that of last year in 2006.
Of course, Hitaki is not working for nothing. In addition to a very generous salary and performance bonus, the AKB members under him can participate in Trier's activities on a part-time basis.
Before, Nanaya had been worrying about how to deal with these girls. It would be too much of an honor to put them on the same level as Rin and the others.
It’s not that Nanaya looks down on AKB, but the 48 series family has not yet become popular, and there is a big gap between them and Trier in any aspect.
Putting AKB girls on the same level as Trier might cause dissatisfaction among their own fans.
The unknown foot-washing maid group is actually listed on the same level as our Trier. Are you kidding?
If it was around 10 years ago when AKB was at its peak, it would not be too difficult to explain, but now the status of the two is still quite different.
It would be perfect to use a deputy group to accommodate these girls.
Akimoto had no complaints about this arrangement. He also knew that it was not a good idea to praise these girls who had only debuted for one year too much.
Things became simple after that.
The operation of Trier directly found the silly-looking pink-haired girl and said that although you were not selected as a formal member of Trier this time.
But we are very optimistic about your potential, and we are planning to form a sub-group. Why don’t you join this team?
Astolfo looked a little stupid, and in fact he was a complete fool.
Astolfo, who had no idea about the ins and outs of the matter, was completely confused after being fooled by a few words.
After seeing that the agreement not only provided salary but also food and accommodation, Astolfo agreed immediately.
In Astolfo's opinion, this agreement is really great. As long as he works hard as an idol, he can earn at least hundreds of thousands of yen a month, and he will also have food and shelter. This is simply amazing.
So Astolfo, who had no idea what to do and had never made any plans, signed his name on the contract without any hesitation.
When the Trier staff member came back to report to Nanaya, his face was full of strangeness.
"Although it's a good thing that the other party signed it very quickly, I don't know why, but I always feel guilty about human trafficking. He signed it without even reading the contract in full."
"Don't worry about it, that guy is just an idiot. If you speak carefully, he won't understand anything." Nanaya thought it was strange that Astolfo would read the contract carefully.
"It's so naive. I think the other party won't have any objection if I change it to a slavery contract."
Nanaya calmly concluded: "This is what they call a fool's luck. As long as he is happy, that's all."
Anyway, the selection of new members for Trier is finally over.
With the addition of the new members and the AKB members who will temporarily serve as members in the future, the number of Trier members has suddenly increased a lot.
This was a good thing for Washimine, but not for Rin.
She was already overwhelmed with work, and now with so many new people coming, she suddenly felt at a loss.
It’s a pity that at this moment, even if Rin wanted to find a director to vent her anger, she couldn’t do that.
Because Nanaya had already flown to Los Angeles, USA the day after the final selection.
The work in Japan has been completed, and Nanaya has now put all his energy into the FZ project.
