Chapter 519: Karaoke Conference

"You can rest assured of that." Zhou Xiao comforted Uncle Inoue and said: "Of course, artists will lose a lot because of this, but on the contrary, they get more.

This large number of jù library,Directly serve TV stations and entertainment companies,These two parties can get quite a lot of numbers through guò大数jù library,These numbers will help TV stations and entertainment companies analyze the advantages and disadvantages of artists well,And recommend suitable artists to them,And for artists,Those particularly popular artists may be a little troublesome,Because many of their things will be exposed,But for young artists,This website can help them analyze their strengths and weaknesses well,It can be said, The only force that hurts this big number of jùku is the popular artist, even if the popular artist is not particularly harmed, but the help of this number jù library to the company and ordinary artists is very huge, no matter how big the power of the popular artist is, it is impossible to fight against these forces. ”

The choice of artists for variety shows is very critical and knowledgeable, like the most common kind of talk variety shows in Japan, the first thing to pay attention to is the choice of MC, what kind of program do you want to produce? What kind of MC is suitable for this show, or which MC you want to do the show for, around this MC, how to arrange the show, and how to choose the artist? There are so many issues to consider in the MC alone, and the selection of young artists is even more subtle.

It is very important who is used in each position, such as the last position in the last row, the last position in the first row, the first position in the last row, and the position in the center.

If it is an ordinary variety show, there are relatively few funny artists, and the selection of artists in other positions is also very critical, such as female artists, female artists outside the publicity period, in addition to funny artists, there are also many women who turn to variety shows for various reasons, and the program team is selecting these artists. It is necessary to consider whether they can cooperate well with male artists.

For example, there are a lot of male funny artists in some shows, and their funny ability is also very strong, so at this time, there is no need for female artists who can especially show Xiàn, just invite an ordinary photo idol or something, but sometimes, if you need a female artist who is surrounded by all male artists and has only one position, and some male artists have a weak ability to independently support the young altar, the choice of this artist is very important.

Some shows require a male sister. Some shows require mixed race, and some shows will do just with a swimsuit idol.

Some programs need a female artist with the ability to pretend to be stupid, and some programs need a female artist with the ability to complain......

In short, Zhou Xiao decided to summarize this variety show in the Japanese entertainment industry, which can be called art, in the form of a large number of jù and analysis.

"Boss, this big number jù...... How to make money? Someone asked.

"The first thing is to rely on the traffic and the number of jù to collect, and the secondary can be charged to the artists and media who use this business." Zhou Xiao said.

"Will anyone pay?"

"That's right, to the average user. I think we can only develop a part of the number jù, and for the paid users, we can open more and more detailed number jù viewing permissions. We even cooperate with our video websites to provide paid videos, and we can in turn cooperate with TV stations and media to obtain the rights to broadcast videos on the Internet.

And then. For more advanced business, I think we can build multiple advanced analysis systems. ”

"Advanced?" Someone didn't understand what Zhou Xiao meant.

"You all know the basic rules of basketball." Zhou Xiao said.

Seeing everyone nodding, Zhou Xiao continued: "In the basketball field. In the past, we saw a player's shooting rate, which is the player's ordinary two-point shooting rate, and the formula for the true shooting rate is the scoring ÷ (2× (number of shots + 0.44 × free throws)), which takes into account the number that a player could not calculate from three-point shot to serve, and is the number that can best comprehensively evaluate the player's shooting rate.

In addition to this, there are many complex and professional numbers such as rebounding rate, initiative rate, usage rate, offensive and defensive efficiency, victory contribution value, player efficiency value, etc. ”

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, I'm an American and I like basketball very much, why haven't I heard of this?" A programmer from the network department said.

"Haven't heard of it? It's okay, you'll find out soon, but that's great if you're familiar with basketball, what do you think of the true shooting percentage I just mentioned? Zhou Xiao asked.

"I don't understand it yet, and I can't be sure of what it does, but it makes sense." The programmer said.

"That's right, some people may think that these numbers are useless, or that they can't make a very good measure of a player's ability, but I want to say that it doesn't matter, the essence of large numbers is not to replace but to assist, with this system, so that artists can perform better, so that entertainment industry practitioners can better grasp the state of artists is my biggest purpose and not to control the other party."

Although Zhou Xiao's words were said, how many people would really trust him Zhou Xiao could not guarantee it, but ...... Just like his previous work, although everyone was skeptical of many of Zhou Xiao's decisions, they did not hesitate to implement them, because the stories created by Zhou Xiao in the past are so legendary, and everyone is used to believing in him and implementing his decisions without hesitation.

Is that a good thing? In fact, it also depends on the situation, in the past, Zhou Xiao had all kinds of plug-ins, and it was naturally better for everyone to implement them without hesitation, but this time, Zhou Xiao said for the first time: "I know that you are all hesitant about this matter, so the Network Department and the Entertainment Department each pick out a few people to come to the United States to investigate this concept, and do an investigation in a month, and we will use this to decide whether to make this thing." ”

Although Zhou Xiao did not participate in most of the activities of the AKB Summer Festival, he still came to the venue from the afternoon of the second day of the summer festival because there was the first karaoke meeting of AKB that was going to be held this afternoon.

In the AKB karaoke conference in the previous life, the three judges were ordinary AKB members, they could not have too much professionalism, and now Zhou Xiao does not mean to use professional musicians, the brilliance of the members with good singing skills is that everyone can see that the reason why this conference in the previous life became an interesting and funny competition is mainly because there are too few people who sing seriously. This time, Zhou Xiao set a tone before it was held, if you want to sing well, if you want to eat this dinner in the future, you can sing well for me, top members, and those who want to take the actor or variety show route in the future are funny members.

Although Zhou Xiao didn't say that I would give solo to members who sing well, the meaning of Zhou Xiao's words in the special training before the conference couldn't be clearer, as long as the expression is good, Brother Zhou Xiao will never be invisible.

The karaoke conference of the previous life was such a small chance. Masuda and Iwazo both went all out to express their feelings, and this time Zhou Xiao said such a thing, they would work even harder to do it.

What's more, all the girls who sing well have a little relaxation in their hearts, that is, in terms of singing, Mayou and Airi, who can now beat them, have almost made it clear that they are not ready to sing seriously this time, without these two mountains, everyone will have a chance if they want to win the championship.

Zhou Xiao, who arrived at the scene, did not go backstage, but ran to the venue with his bodyguards.

The summer festival has been going on for a day and a half, but now the summer festival is still a few hours away. Zhou Xiao found that the atmosphere in the venue not only did not decrease in the slightest, but seemed to be more enthusiastic. Yesterday morning, when the summer festival began, the number of meals in the entire venue was not very large. When the venue is large, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it is still a little sparse in the venue.

But now, Zhou Xiaoyi found out after coming in. The whole venue has been quite shoulder to shoulder!

"That's a lot of people." He said to an AZX staff member beside him.

"Yes, from yesterday to today, the release of the new single has increased by more than 7,000 copies. We estimate that more than 7,000 people bought CDs and used handshake tickets to enter the venue, and sales of various merchandise were also very strong. The staff replied from his side.

"This passenger flow is already the limit in this venue...... Zhou Xiao said.

"That's right, it's a pity that this summer festival will only be held for two days, if it can be held for two more days, maybe the results will be even more surprising." The staff said.

"No, two days is enough, now people like the summer festival, because this is a brand-new, surprising event, if it is three or four days, it is a bit long for the current AKB, once the heart of the meal feels a little lacking in surprise, and then it will be too late to end, what we have to do is a summer festival that can be held for many years and not only once, properly retain the expectations of the meals, and do some similar means of hunger and thirst marketing is necessary." Zhou Xiao said.

In fact, the reason why it is only held for two days is not only these, for example, the physical performance of the members is also a very important issue, and the two-day summer festival is also very hard for the members and staff. And soon there will be the first Budokan concert of the AKB department, and it is not a good idea to consume too much of the spirit of the members and the vitality of the consumption meals.

The summer festival, which may really last more than two days, is more appropriate to wait for three or four regiments of the AKB to form in a few years.

During the time when the two were chatting, the preparations for the karaoke competition on the stage had been basically completed, and the first person to appear on the stage was the MC of the competition.

This man is ...... Ryota Yamanzato.

Strictly speaking, Ryota Yamazato and Zhou Xiao are at the same time, they both debuted in 2000, Zhou Xiao released a single in 2000, and Ryota Yamazato entered the Osaka Yoshimoto Kogyo Artist Training Class in 2000, but the "status" of these two people has been quite different now.

Zhou Xiao still attaches great importance to Ryota Yamashato, and in his opinion, this man with red glasses was a considerable help to AKB from 2010 to 2011.

Many people who are not very familiar with the Japanese entertainment industry may think that Ryota Yamazato posted it when he saw AKB become popular, and later posted it to the peach grass guy who was very shameless, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, although Ryota Yamazato did post it, AKB and him can only be regarded as a mutually beneficial relationship at most, he did get a lot of work through AKB, but AKB also used him to brush a lot of deposits, especially on many occasions, with his deposits, AKB's variety show can also stabilize a lot.

So in this life, Zhou Xiao contacted him early and gradually developed him into AKB rice.

It's just a little off the rails that his first recommendation in this life has become Airi Suzuki and Mayu Watanabe......

For this. Zhou Xiao was indeed a little curious, and on a variety show, he took the opportunity to ask Ryota Yamashato which of the two he liked.

Ryota Yamazato was chased and really had no choice but to say: "There is no doubt that both of them are very, very standard idols, and Mayu Watanabe's face is my favorite type, as for Airi Suzuki, her personality and idol make me feel that it is simply perfect, the combination of the two of them is so dreamy, no one can give up." ”

Zhou Xiao nodded, he understood what Ryota Yamazato meant, in his previous life, he liked Mayu Watanabe. It's because this kid was AKB's biggest "traditional idol" signboard at the time, and this should be the reason why he likes Airi Suzuki in this life, but the reason why he likes Mayu doesn't stop there, Mayu Watanabe's appearance is also a reason for his infatuation, which seems to be slightly inferior to Airi Suzuki.

Ryota Yamazai on the stage said a few jokes with a lewd expression, and even said hello to Zhou Xiao in the audience, and after making a joke, he quickly got to the point, and the most important event of this summer festival finally began.

The first to appear and sing was ...... SONE。

The foursome of the Air Band know their positioning very well, and a nonsense thing can make Brother Zhou Xiao make a song for them. It is clear that he is very optimistic about this link, so they also do what they like, and they are spoofing in different ways, and they are different from before. Now the songs they will inevitably perform every time they appear have changed from one to two, "secretbase" and "女々しくて", the first of the two songs is mainly funny, and the latter song is very easy to stir up the atmosphere of the whole venue. It made everyone enthusiastic.

After SONE left the game, it was Mayu Watanabe who appeared while the iron was hot...... Yuki Kashiwagi.

Mayou's relationship with Airi is indeed very good. The operation usually ties them up to publicize.,But the girls themselves also have their own social circles.,Mayou and Kashiwagi in the previous life are one of AKB's most prestigious CPs.,The personalities of the two are actually very compatible.,Watanabe Mayu is a little crazy like the outside and serious inside.,Plus Kashiwagi's mother-like inclusive personality makes the relationship between the two very good.,In this life,Although there is Airi in front.,And Kashiwagi has also become a descendant of Mayou.,But in the fifth term of life has been in AKB for a while., And after Kashiwagi has been in Group B for a long time, the relationship between the two is still familiar in the end, and they may not be as good as Cheng Dù in their previous life, but the relationship between them is quite good, so this time, they are really combined together again.

Of course, another small reason is that Mayu and Airi no longer need to be together often to reflect their relationship with each other, and Kashiwagi refers to the principle being pulled to form SONE.

Mayou and Kashiwagi's chorus repertoire,Like the previous life, it is also a funny song of "Wow B", and the two of them look very happy, although the tune is a little outrageous, and there is even a part of forgetting words in the middle, but the audience is also very happy to watch.

After the two groups of spoof members,The scene finally became a little normal,The next to appear,It's Umeda Ayaka,Akimoto Saika,Miyazawa Sae,In the K group with dancing and memorable three people appeared this time but did not dance,They collaborated on a Zhou Xiao's old song "Zeus Ship", these three people are very good singers in both group K and AKB, coupled with AKB's perennial training, the three of them sang very imposingly, and the audience couldn't stop admiring listening to it, AKB, which has always given people the impression of selling cuteness in the past, seems to be playing real this time.

The performance of the three of them led the stage in a different direction, and the next appearance was Tomomi Kawanishi and Ami Sato, who once again amazed people.

Hexi and Yameicai, a second-stage student and a fourth-term student, a K group and a A group, these two people have nothing to do with each other in the past, in fact, the two really don't have any friendship, if it weren't for someone meddling, the two would definitely not be interested in getting together to perform.

But the rice guys have quite a lot of expectations for the cooperation between the two of them, for the simple reason that these two are known as AKB's "cute sound" duo, and their voices are very sweet and greasy types.

But despite this, don't underestimate their singing skills, both of them entered the music class when they entered AKB, and their musical literacy has always been quite good.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao asked them to cooperate this time, which can be regarded as an attempt by him, if the two of them are good, Zhou Xiao does not rule out the idea of letting the two form a unit to make their debut.

As for the solo in Hexi in the future? Anyone can see that her solo is just a play ticket, and it can't be sold at all.

Horipro's energy...... An artist like Kawasai, if it is AKS, there is absolutely no way to make a solo debut, and only this kind of big business has the money to take such a big risk to make a member like Kawasai, who was already out of gas when he graduated, make his solo debut at that time.
