Chapter 540: Overkill
By the time the yacht arrived in Shanghai, it was close to 11 o'clock in the evening, and Barbara suggested that everyone stay on board for another night, so as not to make any mistakes in a hurry, and most importantly, if they passed the customs at night, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents.

After another night's sleep on the ship, it was almost noon when everyone left the customs and entered Shanghai the next day.
Since they were not here to play in China, they were sent to a four-star hotel near the airport by Barbara's partner company in Shanghai through Universal Music's relationship with Universal Music, and they had to wait for the arrival of two groups of people in Shanghai, one was the Japanese AKB48 group, and the other was the war-wounded children from the Middle East.
At the same time, Phoebe also asked Barbara to inform the contact person at the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts that she had arrived in Shanghai and could discuss the specific details of the film during the Paralympics.
In the past, many American film companies always smeared China's image to a greater or lesser extent, but this time the actors selected by the American film and television company actually all wanted to find Chinese actors, and they were actors with the characteristics of northern China, and there was no element in the script to discredit China, but it focused on describing the indomitable spirit of the Chinese sons and daughters in resisting foreign invaders, which surprised the Chinese side.
Although from the perspective of the script, Zhao Yun was somewhat denigrated in the film, but in general, this film is very in line with the main theme, and the actors from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts are always inferior to the two major drama schools in the Chinese entertainment industry, but the United States chose the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts alone, which makes everyone feel that Americans are weasels giving chickens for a hundred years, but they also have the idea of eating the sugar coating and shooting the cannonballs back.
I also heard that the investors and directors of the film went to China to participate in the Middle East war-wounded children to watch the Paralympic Games and help them rebuild their confidence in life and the future, which made everyone more or less have a good impression of Phoebe, who has not yet met, and combined with the election promise of the Democratic Party to withdraw troops from Iraq in this year's U.S. election, they think that Phoebe is inclined to the "more progressive" Democratic Party.
Therefore, the Chinese military has also attached more importance to the Paralympic Games, and has also organized many veterans who have been disabled for various reasons to go to Beijing to watch the Paralympics.
Phoebe and others were waiting for the plane near the Shanghai airport, and the first batch was AKB48, a partner chosen to enter the Japanese market.
AKB48 received the help of many forces in the second half of the year, coupled with the Japan Anime Con in New York, which made Japan's animation culture a cultural symbol that can faintly compete with the Beijing Olympics this year, which makes AKB48, an idol group from the animation center, also get more opportunities.
However, although there are a lot of opportunities, AKS still understands that if you want to develop AKB48, it is not enough to rely on the otaku culture group, although this group will buy idol peripherals, but this kind of income is definitely not more profitable than receiving advertising invitations from dentsu, and it is very unstable. When AKS heard that the volunteers who could participate in the Beijing Paralympic Games were mainly war-wounded children, not adults with disabilities, AKS immediately agreed to Titan's request, and AKB48 was sent to China as planned.
Since AKB48's debut in 2005, the main performance venue is the theater in the Don Quijote Building in Akihabara, so they don't have to stop their activities when they encounter any bad luck like Girls' Generation, at least they can still go to the theater to perform, not to mention that AKB48 also has a title variety show that airs late at night at this time. Therefore, although AKB48 came later than Girls' Generation, the itinerary was also a little more rushed, and the members did not know if there would be someone to pick them up after getting off the plane, so they all waited with excitement to be welcomed by Chinese fans.
According to Phoebe's plan, both sides will wait for the plane from the Middle East in Shanghai, which is actually to let Girls' Generation and AKB48 meet first, although the time is very rushed, but it is also enough to form a collective consciousness, and then go to Beijing, this is to prevent the Chinese from interfering and leading the process of this charity activity.
The most important thing is that compared to Beijing, Shanghai's business atmosphere is more intense, and the two combinations converge in Shanghai, which can be regarded as a demonstration to the Chinese that this is only commercial cooperation, and there is no political appeal, although only a few people can taste such meaning, but this is enough.
Compared with Phoebe's plan to first Shanghai and then Beijing, the stupid Republicans actually sent war-wounded soldiers directly to Beijing, which obviously will also make it easier for Chinese to accept Girls' Generation and AKB48.
Phoebe played a trick not only to gather in Shanghai first, Girls' Generation arrived in Shanghai first, and then ran to the airport to pick up the AKB48 that came later, in fact, it was a bit noisy. In fact, Phoebe did this to emphasize the initiative of this event, after all, there are a large number of people on AKB48, and there are a complete set of eye-catching uniforms, if you don't suppress them mentally, then she will be busy for a long time to make wedding dresses for others?
You must know that Phoebe, who "started crazy", doesn't care about human life, and it is not very difficult to create an air crash or something...... Of course, this is only the ultimate countermeasure, Phoebe is just preparing this plan, and it is not yet known whether AKB48 will really cooperate, so there is no need to implement it for the time being.
And Phoebe has a lot of hidden shackles for AKB48, such as Titan's collaborator in Japan, who is the person in charge of AKB48's trip to China, although the other party is named under AKS, but it is actually Dentsu's person, and at the same time, the collaborators in the Kansai region are also among the team leaders, as long as the members of AKB48 do not make any "noisy" things, Phoebe is still quite willing to cooperate with them and work together to build a spiritual civilization.
Although it was a hot summer day, and it was still an activity with the members of the group, Phoebe was still a little conservative in dress, standing with Barbara in a professional suit, she looked even less like a member of the idol group, but like a senior assistant in the assistant team of Girls' Generation, cold and arrogant and very authoritative.
On a bus outside the airport terminal, Barbara looked at the time and said to Phoebe, "The next one is their plane." ”
Phoebe nodded, and Barbara used the on-board radio to inform the other two buses to be ready - originally Phoebe's arrangement was to pick up the airport at the exit gate, who knew that after the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts knew that Phoebe was waiting for someone in Shanghai, it used her connections to allow Phoebe to take people directly to the runway to pick up the plane. This makes Barbara also feel that the best way to enter a country's entertainment market is to be the first to show goodwill to the military forces.
As for the plan to wait for AKB48, Phoebe explained to her sisters that this pick-up AKB48 is equivalent to a rehearsal for war-wounded children in the Middle East.
Therefore, although everyone also has the intention of competing with AKB48, but more of them still want to do a good job, everyone has stopped activities for nearly two months, and cherishes all forms of activities, even if it is just a rehearsal of a charity event.
Soon, an ANA 747 landed on the runway, although the plane is not AKB48 charter flight, but they and the accompanying assistants also occupy the vast majority of seats, the captain heard the tower say that the plane released passengers not only when using the passage of the terminal, but also a little surprised, but saw the approaching boarding staircase and three buses, he also put his doubts in his heart, he felt that AKB is not good to really be popular, and he can get this kind of treatment in China.
According to Phoebe's plan, the first disembarkation for AKB48 was to let them get the salute after arriving in China, but the doubtful AKB48 members didn't know that they couldn't get the salute until they boarded the bus. Fortunately, the team leader also explained that after picking up the airport tomorrow, he would leave Shanghai in the afternoon and fly directly to Beijing, and he would not stay in Shanghai for a long time, so there was no need to open the salute and store it directly at the airport.
At this time, the layout in Japan played a very important role at this time, Dentsu was optimistic about the prospects of Titan's large display equipment in commercial advertising, so they had been notified that they were on Phoebe's side, and the Kansai collaborators also had an unclear relationship with Langley, and Titan was even more prepared to build a large-scale filming base near Universal Studios and operate with Kansai collaborators, so it was even more on Phoebe's side. Therefore, the team leaders and assistants of AKB48 are basically talking to Phoebe, and they also said that this is the most efficient, and this time they are not here to play, but to seriously fulfill the charity plan.
Although this made the members of AKB48 dissatisfied, they still accepted it obediently. Of course, this is different from what they expected before boarding, and the huge contrast makes everyone a little uneasy.
Phoebe was very satisfied with the superficial attitude of the AKB48 members, although she knew from her emotions that eight out of ten were dissatisfied with this arrangement, but this was the first step to seize the lead, so there was no need to be too anxious.
Since she and Xiuying are the only ones who can speak Japanese well in Girls' Generation, the two are each responsible for a bus, and AKB48 is actually less than fifty people, so the third bus is mainly pulling the assistant of AKS who led the team to China this time, and the assistants arranged by Dentsu and Kansai collaborators before are all rushing to get on the first car where Phoebe is, and the people who helped Phoebe talk just now are people from both sides.
This event can be said to have exposed many of Titan's deployments in Japan, so Mika Komatsu and Mie Tsukyo also came, after two months of running-in, the relationship is a lot closer, and both have the taste of being abandoned by the family before, so after feeling the hidden influence of Titanus in Japan, they are more loyal to Titan.
To be precise, they are even more loyal to Phoebe who brought them all this.
Phoebe and Barbara were in the front car, Mika Komatsu was also in this car, and Mie Tsukyo went to the second car to explain some plans to receive war-wounded children to help Xiuying, not to mention the image that Komatsu and Tsukyo established along the way, Phoebe and Hideei are very high, speak Japanese and have no obstacles, and seem to be capable and authoritative, so when AKB48 first came into contact with Girls' Generation, it formed a more professional, Gundam, beautiful and authoritative image of Girls' Generation in the subconscious of these people.
This is an advanced application of psychology to social management, and only Barbara can see that Phoebe is using this method, but she has only one feeling about it: overkill, not doing her job......
And Taeyeon and the others don't have many opportunities to speak because they don't speak well in Japanese, but because of the outstanding performance of Phoebe and Xiuying, they also have such a professional, tall, beautiful and authoritative image, at least AKB48 has not joked with Taeyeon and Sunny and others in terms of height for a long time, even if they interact with AKB48 for a long time.
