Legend...... It will be opened on this day.

As soon as I came out of the lounge, two cameras greeted me.

It was none other than Director Eisi Takahashi, who had directed many AKBMVs.

Zhou Xiao and Maeda, who had just chatted easily in the lounge, became a lot more stern after seeing the camera, and the two began to walk towards the stage, while the camera followed them.

Maeda went on stage, and Zhou Xiao went around to the audience from the backstage, sat under the stage and watched the members gather to say hello, and then began to rehearse for the general election that would wait for a while.

The staff are also busy with their own lights, sound, live broadcast, media...... As the group grows, AKB's entire operations and events receive more and more attention, and so does the work to be done.

Zhou Xiao, who had just sat down for a few minutes, the agent ran over and said, "Boss, do you want to go over for a few media interviews?" ”

"Today is the general election of the AKB, so I won't go, right?" Zhou Xiao said.

"It's nothing with other media, the key is that there are a few media from China, and this time they also filmed people to interview." The agent said that the news about China was something that Zhou Xiao paid special attention to, so the agent would mention it to him.

There are Chinese media to do AKB interviews and Zhou Xiao is very surprised, in the last life in the 2010 mid-year general election, did there be any Chinese media to interview? Zhou Xiao has completely forgotten about it, but it doesn't matter, he quickly decided to pay more attention to the domestic market.

"Find a place for the reporters, and I'll take Yuko Maeda and Mariko Mai over together." Zhou Xiaodao.

At this time, the girls couldn't be very happy in their hearts, but their professionalism still allowed them to complete a good job, and Zhou Xiao also participated in the interview, he didn't answer other questions that had nothing to do with AKB and only focused on explaining AKB's qiē to the media.

In addition, he also met the Chinese media who came to interview this time, and saw several Chinese self-reported their home Zhou Xiao only to know that they were all from Tencent or Tencent-related media, and it seems that the domestic company that is about to cooperate with him is here to help him cheer and promote that "the general election is already an international prosperity".

At the end of the interview, the media left, and Zhou Xiao and the four girls came out of the interview room and went backstage again. ”

"Special?" The girls were surprised.

"It's obviously an idol group whose main business is singing, but the four of us ...... There are two main actors, one who focuses on modeling, and the other who focuses on variety shows, but there is no one who focuses on singing. ”

Zhou Xiao nodded and said to the four girls: "Yes, if you want to say that among the top members of AKB, Takamina and Mayu Ai are ......."

"Brother Zhou Xiao, do you hate this state?" Maeda asked.

"It's precisely because AKB is an idol group that mainly sings, so other stunts other than singing will attract more attention, but like the three of them, it's true that they do the best possible singing to get attention, but I don't think it's the essence, the essence is the excellence of the four of you, so you can stand in this position now, singing or not singing, it won't be the main reason why people like a person, these are just auxiliaries. And if I hated it, I wouldn't push you up or make you more focused on singing. Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"Anyone in the world who says this is not as happy as Brother Zhou Xiao said." Mai Oshima said.

"You have to have confidence in yourself, the outside world says that AKB is an idol group composed of members who have been eliminated from the entertainment industry, but you yourself must know that it is not so simple, especially if you want to mix up here, it is even more difficult." Zhou Xiaodao.

"We know." Yuko Oshima said.

"Okay, let's go and prepare for this election, I won't wish any of you a good result, what I want to say is, this is a SHOW, of course it's good to pay attention to results, and you must have the so-called entertainment spirit, you know?" Zhou Xiaodao.

"Yes." The four girls replied.

By the time the five of them returned to the backstage, the front stage had already begun to appear, and more than 3,000 people poured into the stands on the third floor, and the entire theater was eagerly awaiting the general election.

Ten minutes before the opening, Yasu Akimoto also came.

"Akimoto-sensei!" Zhou Xiao hugged him very exaggeratedly in the past.

"Oooh!" Zhou Xiao hadn't done this before, but Qiu Yuankang still couldn't get used to it, but he didn't care about this, and every time he saw Qiu Yuanyasu, he would come over.

"Since Mr. Akimoto, you're here, let's go to the stage right away, the show should start soon." Zhou Xiao said.

After speaking, Zhou Xiao pulled Qiu Yuankang and walked towards the audience.

"Zhou Xiao, you are really doing quite well, when AKB was first established, I didn't expect to be able to do this in the end." Qiu Yuankang said as he walked with Zhou Xiao.

"Teacher, there is also a credit to you." Zhou Xiao said.

"I didn't do anything." Yasu Akimoto waved his hand.

"Anyway, I didn't do anything, in addition to the lyrics, a lot of AKB's resources, and a lot of ideas contributed, all of which are your contributions." Zhou Xiao said.

"That's not as good as your help to AKB." Akimoto said.

"Mr. Akimoto, AKB, both of us are creators, you have your own share, I don't want you to have such thoughts, for AKB's popularity, I hope you are more proud than envious."

"Okay, I see, that's ...... I'll pay attention later. Qiu Yuankang nodded, he was quite pleased to say this to Zhou Xiao, although Zhou Xiao's dedication to AKB is incomparable to him, but it does not mean that he has not been attentive in the past few years, especially in terms of Zhou Xiao's weakest connections, Qiu Yuanyasu's storage zài makes up for this very well, his storage zài is definitely not just a few issues and decorations for lyrics, and now he is still indispensable for AKB.

And Akimoto Yasu is also very satisfied with Zhou Xiao's words, if it weren't for Zhou Xiao, he would have established AKB, how could he not like this group, how could he not invest energy and enthusiasm in it, Zhou Xiao's words are undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of what he has done for AKB now.

The staff pushed open the door, and Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang came to the edge of the audience from the corridor.

"It's Zhou Xiao!"

"And Yasu Akimoto!"

"They're all here!"

"Zhou Xiao is so handsome! What an aura! ”

"Yasushi Akimoto's head is so big! The shoulders are so narrow! ”

…………

Passing through the rest of the audience, the two took their seats, and sat down in the very center of the entire auditorium.

As soon as he sat down, Qiu Yuanyasu complained: "Actually, I found out about this situation two years ago, and I really can't go with you in the future!" ”

"Hahaha, who made me young, I'm sorry Mr. Akimoto, you were also handsome when you were young." Zhou Xiao said.

As soon as he said a few words, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the diners let out excited shouts that the general election was really about to begin.

First of all, the members entered, and the number of AKB elections is still relatively small, so the entry time is not too long, and after the members have entered, Tokumitsu and the old man also appeared.

In this general election, to be honest, what really cares about Zhou Xiao is the first winner.

In fact, for the core rice and even people like Zhou Xiao, the general election of AKB does not pay special attention to the winner of the championship in many cases, because the contenders for the championship are only two or three people, and in most cases, the winner of the championship does not have much impact on the overall situation.

But Zhou Xiao's attention to the champion in this general election is quite special, because he cares about Yuko Oshima very much, and knows that whether or not he can win the championship in this general election will play a very crucial role in Yuko Oshima's life, so it will be so.

Akimoto Yasu didn't have such a feeling, so in the discussion with Zhou Xiao, he was paying more attention to the next members.

To say that today's Akimoto Yasushi is different from him in his previous life, there is also a big difference in his understanding of the members.

Relatively speaking, the current Akimoto Yasu knows the members better, and even Zhou Xiao has discovered that after becoming the maker of the AKB, for many of the lower members, it will widen the distance between Zhou Xiao and them, and he can even feel that sometimes the AKB's upper selection team will want to prevent these lower members from approaching Zhou Xiao.

Therefore, standing in a new position to observe AKB's Yasusu Akimoto, on the contrary, can see more things that he could not see in his previous life.

After the two chatted for a while, the general election on the stage had begun.

Tension spread throughout the venue, and the statistics company brought up the secret box representing the general election priority, and took out the envelope representing the final ranking of the members and handed it to Mr. Tokumitsu and the old man.

"Below...... The general election has officially begun, and I will announce that the 40th place in the general election of AKB48 2nd selection ......"

The final number of votes was 1,983...... AKB48，Team…… A, Yoka Katayama! ”

Applause rang out.

"40 ah......" Zhou Xiaonian muttered, the Katayama Yoga in the previous life seems to be 37, and now it is actually quite good to be able to go to 40, after all, there are fewer AKB people now, but the strength of the members is stronger.

The first 20 or less people were announced, and 10 people were announced at a time and then the members were asked to give their speeches one by one, so after Yoga Katayama, the selected members were also announced one by one.

Yamauchi lily of the valley ...... Rina Fujie...... Ayaka Umeda ...... Akion Takayanagi......

Kazuo Tokumitsu announced the top 40 rosters on stage, and for Zhou Xiao, the vast majority of the results in the final rankings were not very unexpected, which gave him more time to focus on other things.

Among the graduate students, two people finally entered the top 40, namely Yamauchi Suzuran and Haruka Shimazaki.

Among the members of SKE, Yagami Kumi and Takayanagi Akion are a few places higher than in their previous lives, but the opposite Oya Shina has dropped two, in addition to these three, Kazuko Hatozo and Furukawa Ai Lee, two girls who moved over when SKE was just established, also have quite a good order.

These two groups should be regarded as the groups that Zhou Xiao is most concerned about in the general election, because they represent the potential and the development of the AKB Group outside of Tokyo, as for the 20 to 40 other members of the AKB team 3, there are not many people who can be paid attention to by Zhou Xiao.

In the end, the 22nd member who stood in the center of the undergirls was Feng Annan, a girl who had been in the selection group in her previous life when AKB was just becoming popular, and she didn't like Zhou Xiao.

About Feng Annan, Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuan Yasu also talked a lot, in her previous life, she was put in the selection for a long time, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, it is likely that the operation hopes that there will be a variety show hanging zài in the selection group, in this life, not being liked by Zhou Xiao is one reason, and Mai Oshima did not graduate is another reason, there is Mai Oshima, a member who is not only excellent in variety shows, but also has excellent appearance, and Feng Annan's failure in the selection of regular singles most of the time is not too much cared about by others, so to speak, The decrease in the popularity of Fenggannan is the result of the double suppression of Zhou Xiao and Mai Oshima, intentionally or unintentionally.

After the summit, the members who were able to enter the selection team were announced one by one.

21st, Akimoto Saika, 20th, Rino Shihara, 19th, Sriohide Kitahara, 18th, Li Jun, 17th, Takashiro Aki, 16th, Amina Sato, 15th, Yuki Kashiwagi, 14th, Reina Ono, 13th, Tomomi Kawanishi.

In this order, the 21st Akimoto Caiga is full of gratitude, and the 20th is a little unwilling, because she knows that the distance between herself and Kashiwagi has become a little bigger, and the girl who has been tied to her is in the best period of her life.

19 to 17 Beiyuan Liying, Li Chun and Gao Cheng Yashu originally had high potential, but unfortunately the upper members were too strong, so they squeezed several of their girls to the lower position, which was also a very helpless thing in Zhou Xiao's opinion.

Then, 16-bit ...... Ami Sato.

In this general election, where the rank of members such as the former Beiyuan is lower than Zhou Xiao's previous life, Yamei Cai has moved forward by two against the current, these two are not easy in Zhou Xiao's opinion, and they are also the results of his support for Yamei cuisine this year, you know, after last year's general election list, other singles this year, except for this year's general election voting list, Yamei Cai has all entered the selection, and has also got a lot of media work.

But...... For the girl herself, although she has been given some opportunities, it is indeed a very sad achievement to link to the eighth place in the first general election, 16th place, and this time, she has no position to blame the unfair operation and not give her a chance.

Standing on the stage to calm down her mood, Ami said slowly: "This year...... I understood one thing. I do have my own dreams, dreams of singing, dreams of acting, and dreams of participating in variety shows...... But then I found out that I was not good at acting, my singing was average, and my variety show response was also very poor, and in AKB, although I achieved good results, I was still just a small person.

But...... Little people can also have dreams, big people may have their actresses, singers' dreams, why can't small people have them? I was able to achieve my little dream in AKB.

16-bit ...... Let me understand a lot, thank you Brother Zhou Xiao, for allowing me to realize my dream, I am really enjoying my current job, enjoying what AKB has brought me! Of course, I would like to have a better place, but before that, I will first enjoy the happiness and satisfaction of 16th place! Thank you for your continued support! Thank you! ”

…………

Although it was only 16 people's speeches, Zhou Xiao and the audience couldn't help but applaud, the girl's words...... It's really tasteful.

Zhou Xiao, who applauded, recalled the Asian American cuisine he knew. This fourth-term girl was once hated by the first-term students, especially the upper members, if this state continued, even Zhou Xiao would not dare to put her in a too obvious position so as not to cause dissatisfaction among other members.

Later, with Zhou Xiao's efforts, she cleared up the misunderstanding with the upper members, and with Zhou Xiao's funding, she gradually showed her potential, and finally won the eighth place in the first general election.

Today's Yamei Cai, under Zhou Xiao's care, has a fixed radio program, and has also got some opportunities in voice actors, originally very poor families, with these jobs, and occasionally able to participate in variety show recording, it is basically a good income, so the girl is also very grateful to Zhou Xiao.

After Yamei, Yuki Kashiwagi, who is a fifth-term student, has climbed to 15th, but Zhou Xiao knows that this is far from her end, especially in the year from this year to next year's general election, the girl will have a very big growth.

The 14th Ono is now very proud of Zhou Xiao's achievements, his intentions for this girl are very high, in fact, she is not Zhou Xiao's push, but he knows that she has strong potential, and he is very attentive to cultivating the girl, not only giving him considerable care in resources, but also taking care of her sensitive and fragile heart, now Ono, although the 14th grade is lower than the first session, but the mood is much healthier, although not satisfied with the results but has not lost the fighting spirit, The girl's upbeat speech made Zhou Xiao nod frequently, in his opinion, this girl should be able to do AKB for a longer time this time.

And Hexi, who is after Ono, also seems to be very satisfied with the current order, and she actually knows that her potential is already at the limit of this journey.

After Hexi, it came to the general election of the top 12 people.

And the "gatekeeper" of the top 12 people is naturally the girl known as the "wall of Miyazawa". R1152
