In the clubhouse, a dripping chat is going on.

"We have long admired Mr. Zhou Xiao's name, to be honest, I never thought that a Chinese could do this overseas to this extent, so we are very impressed by Mr. Zhou Xiao for returning to China to help develop."

"Coming, but?" Zhou Xiao answered in his heart.

But ...... was not it.

"Literary and artistic aspects...... Our side has always been more cautious, Mr. Zhou Xiao's AZX...... According to the information we currently have, it seems that it can directly affect this side of the country? This one...... According to the laws and regulations on our side, it is not allowed, and Chinese companies must be located in China...... Under the control of capital......" Vice Mayor Li said.

"Mayor Li, in this regard, we also know the domestic ideas very well, so the domestic branch of AZX, although the name seems to be a branch, but in fact, the two companies are cooperative rather than subordinate, and we only have the right to suggest many ideas in Japan for the domestic side......" Zhou Xiao patiently explained the operation of AZX.

In fact, whether he or the mayor, he actually knows very well that his remarks are just pretexts, because his father and Zhou Xiaowan's two family members are in charge of the company in a domestic company, and through this relationship, Zhou Xiao is almost 100% in control of the company's operations, and those suggestions and the like are nothing more than what they say.

However, this time Zhou Xiao made a mistake.

In the past, most of the people Zhou Xiao saw heard him say this, and most of them just said haha, with his Chinese identity and the value of a big star, even if the domestic side wants to pursue it, it is not easy to start.

And the domestic side is also very clear that Zhou Xiao's investment in China is far from the beginning of SNH in front of him, as early as the time of the 12th Women's Orchestra, the domestic branch of AZX has begun to operate.

It was a very small underground operation in those years. It may not be able to make much money for AZX, but many domestic rules and unspoken rules are familiar, and it is even more difficult to grasp the handle of AZX in China......

But this time, this Deputy Mayor Li didn't seem to think about it so much at all, he said directly: "Mr. Zhou Xiao, you may not understand many things in our country, in our country, in addition to the rules, there is a set of unspoken rules.

In a situation like yours now, although there is no legal problem. But it's still not for us......"

"Can't?" Zhou Xiao was a little stunned: "What do you mean no?" What is legally OK and can't? What is not legally allowed can be done? ”

Zhou Xiao said with a face full of incomprehension.

Kindness...... Why don't you understand...... Zhou Xiao just pretended not to understand.

This can be regarded as a privilege of his status as a "foreigner" at this moment.

"That can't be said, we also have our own considerations...... Mayor Li said.

In the next few minutes, Zhou Xiao listened to the two mayors patiently explain various issues related to Zhou Xiao's identity, and various "reasons" for strong words such as company operations.

And he, completely playing the role of a Chinese who doesn't understand the national situation, after listening to the explanation for a long time, finally held back a sentence: "Okay, I know, this matter." I'll give you an explanation when I go back to the company to discuss it. ”

With this sentence, the other side was not too tight because of his identity, so soon the two sides entered the stage of whitewashing the peace again. Eating, drinking, toasting and chatting, familiar as if they had not seen good friends for many years.

After eating a meal for about an hour, Zhou Xiao stood up and said, "Those two, I will be out of company today." I'm really sorry, the company still has a selection tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I really can't stay any longer......"

"Really!? It's a pity...... It's been a long time since we've met such a smart and talented young man as Zhou Xiao. We don't have a lot of fun eating today, so we will get together again next time!? ”

"Of course! So be it, next time I'll please! I have two private chefs in Japan who have been chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants, and next time I bring them over to cook for them, you will definitely be satisfied! Zhou Xiao also said with a spring breeze on his face.

After a moment of politeness between the two sides, he and Pan Jiale turned and left the clubhouse, leaving the two mayors to remain there.

When he got out of the club and got into the car, Zhou Xiao's face immediately darkened, and he sat behind without saying a word.

Pan Jiale was also full of embarrassment, he found this matter.

"Zhou Xiao, this is ...... I really don't know, I thought they wanted to cooperate with you, but I didn't expect them to be for this ......" Pan Jiale apologized.

"I know, it's not your fault." Zhou Xiao said sullenly, he really doesn't blame Pan Jiale, because this matter is indeed not something he can control, Pan Jiale seems to be doing a very powerful job, but in fact, the essence is nothing more than a small staff, for Zhou Xiao's side, he can have very high-level contacts, after returning to China, his status is not too high, not to mention the impact of many things, even the news may not be available.

His silence at this time was actually very small, and his heart was more about thinking about how to deal with this matter.

What Zhou Xiao and Pan Jiale didn't know was that after the two left, the two mayors in the room were also chatting about Zhou Xiao and talking about Zhou Xiao.

"What a man who doesn't know anything, looking at his age, he is in his twenties, and he must have a relationship behind him to make this achievement."

"I think it's the same, we can't control him if he didn't develop in China before, and now if he wants to come back to develop, he must come back because of the bad operation in Japan, these Chinese are not all like this, they can't survive abroad, and they want to get the resources of their hometown when they come back!"

"That's it, it's not like we haven't met artists like him, like those Li what, what Cheng mixed abroad, didn't they all come back in the end? And when they see us, don't all nod their heads, how can they be like this, they are so young next year, and they dare to quarrel with us with their necks! ”

"Yes, although the state has encouraged them, but the place is still our place, how can the rules be up to them, look at it, this time...... If you don't die, you have to peel him off! ”

"But...... Have you heard of it? Legend has it that he has a personal relationship with the number two above! ”

"Hey, he's something, and he still has a personal relationship with that person, just a joke. This line of work is the top of the sky, isn't it just a show, even if he has the identity of a businessman, then it still can't turn over the sky, the one above...... Is it that he has access to? It is nothing more than an exaggeration based on false rumors. ”

"That is, take 10,000 steps back and say, what if the person above is really connected with him, you know, the time for the change of office is almost over...... The ...... You can't sit there all the time......"

Just when the two deputy mayors were chatting about the one above, Pan Jiale also mentioned that one to Zhou Xiao here.

"Do you really have a personal relationship with him?" Pan Jiale asked. All he got here was a few pieces of information, and it was not clear what it looked like.

"What a personal relationship, it's not a personal relationship at all, I just met that person twice because of some coincidence." Zhou Xiao said.

"Coincidence? Zhou Xiao, you really don't know China, how can there be a coincidence when you reach that level, for example, you said that the earthquake you saw was happened to be encountered when you were teaching local children? Don't be stupid, the various departments in China must be the first to send your information. Confirm your background and ensure the safety of the other person before letting him pass! Pan Jiale directly punctured the problem in Zhou Xiao's words.

“…… Or if you ask me to say something, say that I know that person very well, and always talk to him about QQ. Also gave that Amway AKB, who is the first to recommend in AKB? Zhou Xiao asked with some sarcasm.

"Uh...... All right. Pan Jiale nodded awkwardly, Zhou Xiao's meaning was very clear, his relationship with that person was not something that could be said casually. Everyone just needs to admire.

"The key problem is still on the two ground snakes in front of you......" Zhou Xiao said with some unhappiness.

The meaning of the two head snakes is already very clear, you AZX and Zhou Xiao have to abide by our rules when they come to us to make money. Whether it's overtly or covertly, don't blame us for taking action.

This made Zhou Xiao quite unhappy, and the reason for the unhappiness was that Japan, which has always been relatively subtle to China, their prime minister personally summoned Zhou Xiao before coming to China and politely asked him to keep his focus on China, hoping that he could become a "retreat" for Japan between China and Japan...... What a thing?

However, Zhou Xiao is also sober, if you want to calculate, the problem on the Chinese side is actually not a problem, but on the Japanese side, looking at a harmonious and co-prosperous situation, in fact, there may not be a noble idea behind that smiling face, and the two forces ...... The real ** and the goal are pretty much the same.

The next day, at the company's internal discussions, the company's senior management expressed their views.

"I think the appropriate benefits still need to be allowed out, Zhou Xiao, you may feel uncomfortable in your heart, but if we can cooperate with the local government, it can be regarded as an opportunity for us, once we do a good job in this area, this road may be much easier in the future." Akimoto said.

"Yes, Zhou Xiao, haven't you always been more cautious about the future form of China and Japan? In that case, we should need to manage our relationship with them even more. Uncle Inoue also said.

Zhou Xiao didn't speak, not only Yasu Akimoto and Uncle Inoue, but many other senior executives of the company also expressed their ideas, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, these Japanese who did not understand the current situation in China ignored a very important issue.

"The key point is the level of these two, they are nothing more than the local managers of the Demon Capital, you may feel that they are very important, but I think that once there is really any request from above, even if we go all out to please them this time, the relationship between the two sides will not be so iron that they are willing to resist the above requirements for us." There is no need to pretend to be stupid in the face of Zhou Xiao, who is in his own company, he analyzes the various possibilities on the other side.

"Why don't we pay the money and pay some of the shares?" The Japanese people of the company asked.

"This is the so-called Hades, and it is difficult to see the little ghost." Zhou Xiaodao.

"That'...... What shall we do? The crowd asked.

"There are three methods, one is to directly find the high-level leaders of the Japanese side, and the shortcomings of this method are that the Japanese side may have to vomit a lot, and the second is that once this method is not clean, it is tantamount to offending the Chinese side miserably.

The second way is to simply pay the money and do things, and then think about the future when there are other problems above.

The third way is to ...... Go straight to the top ......"

"Sounds ...... It seems that the third method is better. Everyone looked at each other and said.

"That's for sure, but ...... How to find the above is also a problem. Zhou Xiao was also hesitant on this issue.

He...... It is true that there is a way to connect with the person next to him, such as the secretary, but this way. He would never do it unless necessary, because this plug-in is too buggy, and it would be too wasteful to use that one to suppress this group of snakes.

Therefore, even if you go directly to the central department, you must use methods that do not go through such a high level.

"All in all, let's put this matter aside, our legal documents are very complete, and they can't find it if they want to find trouble easily, my opinion is. When the SNH is set up and there are some exchanges with Japan, get a Sino-Japanese exchange ambassador or something, it's best to pull in AKB, Tomohiro Sekiguchi, and even virtual characters such as robot cats, so that as soon as the group comes out, they will not be able to stop it anyway. Zhou Xiao said.

"That's a great idea!" Akimoto Yasushi praised.

The crowd at AZX also nodded.

"Zhou Xiao's growth in recent years has been really great......" Uncle Inoue also sighed.

Zhou Xiao's approach can be said to be a complete conspiracy, once this trick is used, it is absolutely above board. Unless the Chinese side is thick-skinned to a certain extent, ignoring all public opinion is to make it clear that the carriage and horses want to stop you, there is almost no way for the other side to stop this kind of cooperation.

The establishment of SNH has passed like this, and the normal recruitment and selection of new recruits are normal. Except for the girl named Teken'er, most of SNH's first life is a familiar name in her previous life.

Kindness...... There is also a special one that is Xu Jiao, the "male" No. 2 in "Yangtze River No. 7" who provided the script to Stephen Chow back then, before the audition began, Xu Jiao was directly announced by the company to enter SNH. This way looks like going through the back door, but basically no one protests, Xu Jiao's qualifications, being able to enter SNH can only be said to be SNH's luck.

For example, after the SNH selection is over. Among the news given by various domestic media, people pay less attention to the establishment of SNH, and everyone pays more attention to Xu Jiao, who is a little Zhengtai back then, who is now slim and still a standard Japanese girl.

After the SNH audition, Zhou Xiao went back to Japan directly to start the morning drama work here.

During the production of "Sea Girl", in fact, there were not many things that were actually filmed in Kitasanriku in Iwate Prefecture, where the story takes place, and most of the scenes that were filmed here were various exterior scenes, and most of the indoor scenes in the series, including the platform of Kitasanriku, the tavern, the little ama's home in Kitasanriku, the fishery association, etc., were simply set up in an indoor studio in Tokyo.

In terms of the actors of "Sea Girl", most of the actors have also been decided, especially the two heroines of the series, Reina Nengnian and Kyoko Koizumi, a girl and a former top Japanese idol have long begun to prepare for the series.

Kindness...... As soon as I started to contact the actors, I could see the difference.

Koizumi Kyoko and Ai Hashimoto's acting skills are quite good, as for Miyamoto Nobuko, who plays the grandmother of the little sea girl Amano, she is an old drama bone in filming, as for the village flower, there is a village frame Jun, although the acting skills are not outstanding, but basically it can be regarded as meeting the requirements of the morning drama.

The real problem lies with Nengnian Reina.

This is too special a girl.

Japan does not have any large-scale film and drama schools like China Beiying, Chinese opera, and Shangju, and most of the training of actors in Japan is based on performing arts companies rather than schools and colleges, so in most cases, Japanese actors are in junior high school and high school while completing acting training under the training of the company.

There are pros and cons to this kind of artist training method, the advantage is that the company pushes people, controls the artist, and understands the artist very completely. The disadvantage is that Japan lacks a complete system for acting and drama, and in terms of theory, Japan lags far behind China.

Kindness...... Of course, the Chinese are basically in a state of seeking defeat in solitude in this regard.

Reina is also in the drama training class of AZX, and she grew up with the girls of AKB, Ai Hashimoto, and Jun Muraka, but what about her grades...... is ordinary, and her appearance is not outstanding, if you really want to ask, I'm afraid many people will wonder why she was chosen as the heroine of the series.

In fact, the heroine of Nengnian Rena did not experience much either, but she basically determined her position as the heroine in just one interview.

Zhou Xiao's idea was to devote more time to the preparation of the series and AKB, but he ignored the consequences of doing so.

The consequence is ...... When Zhou Xiaojin's group began to prepare for the series and began to contact the actors, it was found that Nengnian Rena had not yet entered the role.

That memory is silly full of vitality, and his eyes are shining like a puddle of clear water...... It hasn't come to her yet!

The price of not being able to enter the state as the absolute protagonist is huge, and Zhou Xiao found that the start time of the whole drama became confusing for a while! (To be continued......)
