Today's AKB graduate student group is also very expected, because today's AKB is very compact, and there are still three members who have not been promoted before the eighth term, in addition to the seventh phase of Maeda Ami, two fifth-term students Uchida Mayumi and Nakatsuka Tomomi have still not been promoted.

The main reason why these two girls Zhou Xiao did not get promoted is that the various places and arrangements of AKB are complicated, and it is definitely not that the author wrote that he forgot these two people......

After the three of them, the five people of the eighth phase are an excellent help for Zhou Xiao to find, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, they may even become the strongest graduate students in the future, Yamamoto Aya Akari, Kojima Ruriko and Hirose Silk Silk, Hirose Alice sisters, everyone may become a unique artist in the future, plus the golden ninth term students behind these five people, forming a very potential group.

Of course, the group is still limited to graduate work, which includes taking notes on the dances of the members and teaching them to dance when they have time.

When Zhou Xiao arrived at the AKB Theater today, most of the members who had come to participate in the training had already arrived, and in fact, just tonight, the first renewal performance after the AKB Pavilion Festival was about to begin.

The first to be scheduled for the performance was Group A.

In Group A, Aika Tada, Kobayashi Coriander and other less popular, or members who have just joined the group for a short time have already arrived to prepare, among which the most nervous should be Takayanagi Akion who came from SKE, in her previous life, her obscure efforts in SKE finally succeeded, and soon after entering the group, she was concurrently served as AKB and Group A, in the face of a group of seniors, the girl was nervous to death, and she was excited to death.

However, although the performance is scheduled for the evening, there are still people who have not arrived today, such as Mariko Shinoda and Atsuko Maeda. Shinoda is now on the plane because of the filming of the show, and the plane will not land until one o'clock in the afternoon, and now she should be desperately reviewing her songs, dances and positions on the plane.

As for Maeda,It was originally scheduled to be available today.,But all of a sudden, the first episode of "Malu Suga Gakuen" found some problems when it was sent to Japan TV for review.,So Maeda went to make up the shots with a few girls who needed her to play the camera.,This group A also includes Rina Shihara and Akika Nakaya are with Maeda.。

In fact, even today, the filming of "Ma Lu Suga School Park" has not been put down. It's just that the crew is filming scenes without Maeda, such as the scenes of Mayu Airi, and most of the members of Mayu Airi's "forces" are third-term students or members of Group B, so even if there is a group A performance today, there are still things that can be filmed.

It's just that the members are suffering, the sequence of filming is very broken, and the acting skills and love of the members are very problematic, but it's better to be able to shoot than to waste time without filming.

It was the big day of the new performance, so everyone in the theater was busy with AKB.

And the diners also came to the outside of the theater early. Waiting for the start of the performance.

At noon, because there were a lot of things piled up backstage, the members simply sat on the stage and started eating, while Zhou Xiao sat in the audience and chatted with the members. There were several cameras around, some of which were for future AKB documentaries, and some of which were interview cameras sent by major television stations.

At this time, the main entrance of the theater was pushed open. Yasu Akimoto walked in.

"Akimoto-sensei!" The members and Zhou Xiao all stood up to say hello.

"Zhou Xiao, why do you always come so early, I feel like the last big boss. Actually, I'm a wage earner, so you don't want to come earlier than a wage earner. Qiu Yuankang joked with Zhou Xiao.

"Mr. Akimoto, you have a good wife and a lovely daughter, I don't have anything, and my parents are not in Japan, so I am not allowed to stay in a place where there are many girls and absorb some young energy?" Zhou Xiao said.

"Look, this counterattack is too sharp, just talk about age, he is only 28 years old, and he has been doing this at the age of 28 for ten years since his debut, who in Japan can do it?" Akimoto said.

"Mr. Akimoto, you can't say that, you are 27 years old and have already founded the Kitten Club, and the kittens of those two years, the Oricon championship for one Chinese New Year's Eve and a few weeks is unprecedented, and it is definitely a great event." Zhou Xiao complimented.

"Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other, how are the preparations for today's performance?" Akimoto Yasu looks quite cool to be touted, but he is still very sensible, knowing that although the kitten was brilliant back then, the ending was not very good, so he hurriedly ended up in the most exciting place and changed the topic.

"It's well prepared, Akimoto-sensei's lyrics are really good." Each one of them reached the point of my heart.

"Again? I can participate in the creation, in fact, it is just because you don't have enough time, otherwise you haven't written lyrics, and several of your lyrics are also very good. Akimoto said.

"Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other, we're going to start rehearsals." Uncle Inoue came out to see Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuanyasu sitting there, there were so many cameras around that no one noticed, and the members came out and interrupted.

"Okay, okay, give the theater to the members, let's go somewhere else!" Zhou Xiao took the lead in standing up and said to Qiu Yuankang: "Teacher Qiu Yuan, let's go backstage, I just have something I want to tell you." Zhou Xiao said.

took Qiu Yuankang to the backstage, and after entering the house, Qiu Yuankang asked: "Say, what's the matter, if it's really not something, you wouldn't be interested in coming backstage to chat with me, an old man." ”

After several years of cooperation, Akimoto Yasu's connection with Zhou Xiao is really deep, he knows that Zhou Xiao's love for AKB is somewhat incomprehensible to ordinary people, if possible, Akimoto Yasusu feels that it is no problem for Zhou Xiao to be in the theater every day.

"That's right, some ideas have been in my mind for a long time, and then today when I came to the theater, I met an investor from China, and this idea germinated again......" Zhou Xiao first spent a few minutes talking to Qiu Yuankang about the ins and outs of Huang Feng, and then talked about his ambition to build a perfect female idol system, and finally, Zhou Xiao put forward his first goal about this idea.

"What do you think...... How about we buy the whole Don Quixote from Akihabara? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Don Quixote?!" Rao had long been mentally prepared for Zhou Xiao's thoughts, but Qiu Yuankang was still thundered by Zhou Xiao.

In addition to the AKB Theater on the eighth floor, the other floors also have their own stores such as maid cafes, and the rent of the first floor of Don Quixote is quite large. Renting or buying Don Quixote is a big investment even for AZX.

And...... Akimoto continued: "I have a few questions, the most important of which is how Don Quixote would be interested in renting the entire store to AKB, and if he bought the whole building directly, the price would be too high.

Also, what are you going to do when you buy the whole building? Such a prime location must not be used for office, do you want to ......?"

Zhou Xiao nodded and said: "I don't think the first question is the main problem now, we didn't ask Don Quixote, and I don't know what they think, but I'm on my side." It's just a rudimentary idea, so whether a plan is feasible or not is something we need to argue and fight for in the future, rather than something we need to consider in the planning stage.

As for the second question...... It seems that you have also thought that I want to transform Don Quixote in Akihabara into a sacred place for Japanese idols, and in this eight-story building, there may be not only AKB Theater but also other theaters and even other idols performing regularly in the future. ”

In this case, a problem arises. How do you guarantee the status of AKB, people who come here to watch AKB, from the first floor to the eighth floor, will come into contact with more other idols. Have you ever thought that if you do this, you may end up making wedding dresses for other idols and other companies? The longer the AKB lasts. The style of the entire company portfolio tends to be conservative, how can you be confident that the portfolio will remain in place for a long time? ”

"Akimoto-sensei, you've thought too much about this." Zhou Xiao said.

"Oh? You said. Yasu Akimoto asked.

"Why do you have to insist on maintaining AKB's popularity permanently? I think...... Not for long. As long as AKB still has a theater on the eighth floor of Akihabara, there are still people who think that theater performances are already possible, and in the future, we may spread out a large spread, and there may be sub-groups all over the country and even the world, and in the future, we may shrink to the headquarters of Akihabara, but ...... If my plan succeeds, then it will be the turn of the healthy industry to feed us back in the future, as the leader of idol culture in the new century, as the initiator of the most authentic idol culture, I don't think AKB will be able to fall into a state where it is difficult to even maintain it. Zhou Xiao said.

"If you can think of it at all, I don't have any objection to what you want to do." Akimoto said.

"Oh?" Zhou Xiao was surprised.

"If even you, a funder, can be so idealistic, why should I not support it as a working boy." Akimoto said.

"However, you also have a stake in AKB, if I do this wrong, or if I succeed in doing this, but AKB's dominance is indeed weakened, you will also be affected."

"I won't be affected more than you anyway, don't worry, I know you don't lack money but you lack people to support you, so let me be this person." Akimoto said.

"Teacher Qiuyuan, I'm not omnipotent, the probability of success in this matter is not high, you don't have to do this......" Zhou Xiao persuaded.

"Don't worry, I've made a lot of money, and with AKB's current momentum, maybe in a few years, I can make the money I made from Kitten Club just by writing lyrics, and I'm not short of money." Akimoto said.

"That'...... We'll start talking about it within the company tomorrow? Zhou Xiao said.

It will definitely not be easy to buy or rent the entire Don Quixote building or something, AZX is now a mature company, huge, risky, and it is likely that it will not be able to return the investment, even if Zhou Xiao pushes it, it is likely that it will not be able to get through, unless Zhou Xiao is very, very persistent, but Zhou Xiao can't do this in this matter, in the past, Zhou Xiao's decision to eliminate opposition and arbitrariness was basically those choices that he had experience in his previous life, and Zhou Xiao didn't have this kind of plug-in when he bought Don Quixote. So the reality is that he can't afford to be imprudent.

The discussion with Akimoto Yasu was just the germ of the whole thing, Zhou Xiao estimated that it would take at least two or even four or five years for this matter to go from putting forward the idea to finally getting the result, signing the agreement or giving up the signing, and finally taking action, and now he is not in a hurry to do this.

And the AKB girls don't know Zhou Xiao's thoughts at all, they are just desperately practicing the new performance.

Half past one in the afternoon. Maeda arrives at the theater with several AKB members who were filming the reshoot.

"Ahh I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! Maeda shouted that she was hungry and walked out of the company, her eyes were already green, and she didn't have time to eat because she was busy filming TV dramas.

But...... Zhou Xiao, who has a good grasp of Maeda's itinerary and time, also thought of this, and as soon as the girl and a few members entered the backstage of the theater, they found that Zhou Xiao brought a few bento boxes with a smile.

It's also warm, and it looks like it's just taken out of the microwave or something.

"Let's eat!" Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

Maeda's movements paused suddenly, and the girl sniffed, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

"It's just a hot meal for you......" Zhou Xiao said weakly.

Actually, it's a thing...... If it was Zhihara and others who were treated like this the day before yesterday, or it was Shinobu Chino and other AKB operators who delivered the lunch to Maeda, it was likely that they would not have any feelings of emotion, Maeda and Zhou Xiao's identities are more special. The former is very obsessed with food, and it is easiest to impress her with food-related things, and the latter is the boss of AKB, a legendary star, and only when Zhou Xiao does this kind of thing, will everyone feel moved, it can be said that some things can only be touched by special people, like Zhou Xiao, the boss brings hot dishes to the girl. will make the girl really moved.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after getting off the plane, I rushed to Akihabara, and Shinoda finally arrived at the theater after a little traffic jam.

Some things have been semi-made public in the AKB theater, and after Shinoda came, he went directly into Zhou Xiao's lounge.

in the lounge. Zhou Xiao has also prepared a bento, Shinoda and Maeda are actually the same brand, and even Maeda's share is a little better in terms of price, but the difference between Shinoda and Maeda is very big. Because Zhou Xiao called Maeda just an ordinary but good quality lunch, and what he prepared for Shinoda was all the things that girls liked to eat, not to mention that the girl still went directly to Zhou Xiao's lounge to eat. And not eat in everyone's lounge backstage like Maeda.

Zhou Xiao was not idle when Shinoda was eating, he went out and called the graduate student in charge of Shinoda dance, and asked Shinoda to confirm the dance with the graduate student while eating, while Zhou Xiao hid, he was afraid that he would be there, and Shinoda would not be able to concentrate on the performance.

In the midst of such hectic and intense preparations, the A6 performance in the evening finally arrived.

Two minutes before the opening, Zhou Xiao and Yasu Akimoto and others went to the audience from the backstage, in addition to the two people, Uncle Inoue also went together, not only these three people, but also four other people appeared in the audience behind Zhou Xiao, these four people are Akimoto Caika, Yuko Oshima, Yuki Kashiwagi and Kazumi Urano.

In the original plan, the captains and vice-captains of the K and B teams attended the premiere of the new performance, but today it happened that Sae Miyazawa had his own job and couldn't attend, so Yuko Oshima, who happened to be out of work, made up for it.

Among the four girls, Yuko Oshima naturally followed behind Zhou Xiao, and the girl also sat next to Zhou Xiao when she sat down.

Then, the show began.

The first person to appear was Aya Yamamoto.

"Before the performance begins, allow me, as a graduate student, to present a song ...... 'Romantic Hide and Seek.'"

"Oh!?" The meals were all surprised, and it was not much surprising that the graduate students sang before the performance began, but the key was the number of people who sang this song, this "Romantic Hide and Seek", turned out to be Aya Yamamoto's solo!

In fact, what the rice fans don't know is that each of the three performances of the new system has a graduate song before the performance starts, but only the song "Romantic Hide and Seek" is solo, and the other two songs are all sung by multiple people.

And the beginning of the original A6 performance was not "Romantic Hide and Seek" but "The Goblin in the Miniskirt", and it was Zhou Xiao who put the song "Romantic Hide and Seek" in the first song of the new system premiere out of some bad taste.

He's really bad taste.

Yamamoto Aya's image in the future,It's a very energetic,Some strange NMB general length of the general storage zài,But now in AKB as a graduate student,Yamamoto Aya, who focuses on fresh cards,Standing on the stage gives the impression that she is just a soft girl,So she sang "Romantic Hide and Seek", a song with a very little girl's temperament, Zhou Xiao estimates that in three to four years, maybe this will become a black history that Yamamoto Cai is very reluctant to mention.

Although it is known as black history,But Yamamoto Aya's table on the stage is very surprisingly brilliant,She has received considerable vocal training since she was a child,Although the voice is still a little tight,But an excellent girl's singing skills have been shown,It can be said that A6 just started,It gave a good start to the normal performance,It also raised the standard,A graduate student is so good,The official members must show that xiàn is not inferior to the graduate student's efforts and wonderful。

After Aya Yamamoto left the stage, the overture, which represented the official start of the performance, finally sounded. (To be continued......)
