Chapter 19: Waiting (Part I)
At six o'clock in the morning, the girls were already in Akihabara.
The AKB48 of 2011 can be described in one word, that is, it is in full swing.
After 09 years of rising and 10 years of new star explosion, by 11 years, AKB did not pass away like a meteor, but continued to exude unparalleled light and influence.
The most dazzling is the single sales, starting from 18 beginners, skipping the 19 singles of guessing boxing, 20, 21, 22, 23 singles, five singles million, and four consecutive million results to throw off the second place N position, you know, before the beginner, the last million singles in the entire RB music scene have to be traced back to 2007.
There's also the karaoke charts, a large number of singles on the charts, and Heavy Rotation's seemingly endless road to "sole designated champion" all illustrate AKB's explosive influence this year.
AKB's popularity in recent years is terrible, and it is something that other girl groups can't compare with in the future.
The sales volume of this distribution letter, a mobile phone or account only needs to be purchased once, which can basically be said to be the most intuitive data for the audience of the song and the popularity of the song.
In terms of this data, by mid-2018, the total sales of the NMB48 of the Yasushi Akimoto series were only 100,000, the SKE had 300,000, Atsuko Maeda was also 300,000, and Tomomi Itano had 350,000, while the Sakusaka 46 got 550,000 delivery sales by relying on the small popularity of the first single, and Nogizaka 46 got 700,000 delivery sales after seven years of accumulation, and this data of AKB48 is ...... 16 million ......
On December 8th, although it was only an anniversary performance at the Akihabara Small Theater, the attention was not bad at all, even if it was only six o'clock in the morning, reporters had already begun to gather outside the Don Quixote building.
But none of this has anything to do with the thirteenth students, and no one knows them yet.
The performance doesn't start until 6 o'clock in the evening, why is the 13th term born so early? Actually, it's very simple, the Akihabara Theater is actually very small, and it is most suitable to accommodate 16 people for the performance, but it is a little uncomfortable for more than 16 people.
He Yue found the other fifteen girls from the thirteenth phase on the bus outside the theater.
"We're just waiting here today?" He Yue asked after getting into the car.
"Yes, the theater is full, not only us, do you see the car in front of you? The seniors of the eleventh and twelfth phases are there, and the ninth and tenth phases are up, but I guess they can only wait in the canyon. Sayaka Okada, who was putting on makeup, looked up and said.
The so-called "canyon" is a narrow passage in the corner of the AKB theater dressing room, this passage is already narrow, but there are also storage cabinets for clothes and accessories on both sides, like the AKB clothes in charge of Chino Shinobu can't get in at all, and the girls can't even stretch their legs when they sit down in this canyon, which is definitely more difficult than waiting outside in the car.
But hard work is hard work, if there is a choice, the girls would rather go upstairs and wait in the canyon, after all, it is an opportunity to get close to the seniors, unlike now, everyone can only waste time in the car alone.
"Saho, how is your dancing, can you keep up?" He Yue asked Iwali Shasui.
"No problem, Moe-chan (Aigasa) taught me for a long time last night, and I can definitely keep up today!" said Iwatachi Saho a thumbs up to He Yue.
"Lianghua, you are center, MC's lines, I'll check it again later, okay?" He Yue asked Oshima Lianghua again.
"Well, okay!" Ryoka Oshima, the bear child, has begun to show her childish side, but the two months of training are not useless, coupled with the example of the players around her, although her personality is active and jumpy, but at this critical moment, she is still very serious.
"He Yue, help me do my homework!" Okada Caihua took the notebook and leaned over and said coquettishly, the main force for the thirteenth phase of recruitment is junior high school students, although RB has implemented a relaxed education for many years, most of the girls who will join AKB don't care much about their studies and are determined to be artists, but at least in junior high school, girls still have some normal courses and homework.
He Yue and Murayama Saiki were both born in 1997, and girls such as Okada Saika Oshima Ryoka were born in 98, but in terms of grade, Okada Oshima is the first year of junior high school, Murayama is the second year of junior high school, He Yue is a year earlier and is now about to graduate from the third year of junior high school, according to the grade order, it is indeed she who teaches others, although there are high school students above them, and there are even members like Kotsu Sooru who have basically left school, but the person who teaches everyone, and may even teach high school students to read, is still He Yue.
In two months, the members also discovered the ability gap between He Yue and the members, and the members couldn't see how hard He Yue worked, but in terms of grades, she could easily get the existence of 75+ deviation value, and the members other than He Yue, the average deviation value may not be able to exceed 60, not only the junior high school course, but the members were even surprised to find that the vast majority of high school students' physics, chemistry and mathematics were difficult for her.
Although she looks like a fourteen-year-old girl, He Yue inherited not only her soul, but also the strength, physical strength, knowledge, and even learning ability of the former man He Yue were all locked into this body after being locked to the peak.
It is like the squad leader of this sixteen-person class to confirm the completion of everyone's work, and even help them write homework, check information, and arrange the itinerary, and all this is watched by the agent sitting in the driver's seat.
For Takeuchi Linya, the agent of the thirteenth issue, there is such a person in the team who can help him share a lot of work, and this kind of member is also very much needed in the team.
It can be said that He Yue can last until the day of the final disclosure, Takeuchi's reaction is the most important, in the eyes of other people in the operation, He Yue's shortcomings are very obvious, especially the people in the high-level operation who advocate the income of Guangzong Kaoru, and they are very superficial to see He Yue as a hindrance guy with the same "personality" as Guangzong Xun, without Takeuchi's persistence, He Yue is absolutely difficult to stay in the team.
As for the so-called artist talent, singing, and dancing, I have only joined the group for two months, and the review of these is only the beginning, and the operation does not attach much importance to these.
For a member like He Yue, the operator wouldn't want all sixteen people to be like this, but if one or two of the sixteen people would be precious, and on the question of whether to keep a member, Takeuchi almost alone occupies more than half of the right to speak, and he said that if he stays, then this child has a huge advantage.
Of course, everything is just this point in time, the various tests of the thirteenth phase are far from over, the thirteenth phase students themselves have to work hard, and there are many members who are finally knocked down by the various situations and pressures they face after their debut, and there will definitely be such children in the thirteenth period, and He Yue, who Takeuchi doesn't want to look as strong as a little boy, is also one of them.
