In October 2010, Zhou Xiao finally returned to Osaka again, and the final selection of NMB's first-term students was about to begin.

Masuda Yuka and Aya Yamamoto also followed him to the final selection site and personally selected the first-term members who would enter NMB.

In fact, there is nothing to say about the whole selection process, the difference between the final members selected in this selection and Zhou Xiao's previous life is that there are no two important first-term students Yamamoto Aya and Ogasawara Mayu, but AKB can't be regarded as losing them, because one of the two girls sat next to Zhou Xiao when they were selected, and the other was about to participate in the selection of AKB's own family.

Moreover, this time they have added a Masuda Yuhua in NMB, this girl is not small among idols despite her age, but her own image does not have high requirements for age, and she also has a very strong recommendation plan in the future.

There is only one person who really makes Zhou Xiao feel a little eye-opening, and that is Miyuki Watanabe.

The girl in the second selection left a very deep impression on him, and the electric smile was instantaneous, it was like a god-like fishing technique, don't forget, now the girl is still an amateur, and she hasn't really participated in the handshake party, trying to fish for rice.

Such a girl gave people a completely different state when she was selected.

Miyuki Watanabe's dance utilitarianism should be considered the most in the entire audition? Strong,The reason why she was recruited in the first place,Most of the reason is because of her dancing ability rather than her so-called ability to fish gods,When the audition was carried out,At the beginning, it was about half an hour of dance practice,The choice was "I Want to See You", the simplest type of AKB dance,But some girls can't even learn this kind of dance,The most important thing is not that you can't learn it,But the professional dance teacher can easily distinguish who has a sense of rhythm in this half an hour.。 Who has no sense of rhythm.

If someone without a sense of rhythm learns to dance, it may take her a day to learn the dance that others can learn in 15 minutes, and even if she learns it, her dance may not be able to infect anyone.

Such a person, unless the appearance or other advantages are so strong that they have no friends, it is impossible to want.

Of course, people who are good at dancing can also stand out in this link. For example, Miyuki Watanabe is like this, her neat and handsome dance is very amazing, especially for Zhou Xiao, looking at the girl who dances the most outstanding among the cannibals, Zhou Xiao can't accept it.

"This girl named Miyuki Watanabe dances really well." Uncle Inoue on Zhou Xiao's left looked at the information in his hand and whispered to Zhou Xiao.

"yes, how about promoting her to be the center with Aya Yamamoto?" Zhou Xiao asked.

Hearing Zhou Xiao say this, Aya Yamamoto, who was sitting on her right, also looked over. She also cares about the member who will partner with her to become a member of the center.

"She? Not suitable, right? It's all handsome......" Uncle Inoue muttered.

Zhou Xiao couldn't hold back the love of wanting to laugh and said, "Then don't let her take the handsome route." ”

"Huh? It's not like you, haven't you always felt that you need to play out the character of the members? Uncle Inoue asked strangely.

"Who said that a girl who dances well must be like dancing by nature, in case she is actually the kind of delicate and seductive. It's a girl's character, isn't it? Zhou Xiao asked.

"She? Yikes...... I can't see it......" Uncle Inoue said.

"Is there really that much of a difference?" Yamamoto Aya also stared at Miyuki Watanabe's information, the girl on the information still looked quite strict, and the girl's dance before left too much impression on everyone, even Masuda Yuhua, who was separated from Zhou Xiao, was also curious to look at the information in Yamamoto Aya's hand.

"Shall I ask, then?" Zhou Xiao said.

"Now? Still don't ask. Wait for the singing session to ask. Uncle Inoue hesitated for a moment and said, now theoretically there is no questioning link, and too special treatment is not a good thing for the selected girl. After the singing session, there will be a few questions as usual, and if you really want to ask, you can talk about it at that time.

After a few people chatted like this, the dance part of Miyuki Watanabe's group has ended, and the next group of girls has also appeared again.

In the middle of the stage, the audition for the dance part is finally over, and the next step is the singing part.

The dance audition part can watch ten people at a time, so the time schedule is relatively generous, but the song audition is different, and the girls have to come up and sing one by one, so at the beginning of the singing part, the speed of the whole audition will immediately slow down.

Looking at these immature and young girls one by one, more than an hour has passed since the slightly boring audition, and Miyuki Watanabe finally appeared.

"I'm Miyuki Watanabe from Nara, 17 years old, and the song I'm going to sing is ......," the girl chose a song by Ai Otsuka and sang it.

Miyuki Watanabe's singing skills are not very good, at most Cheng Dù can barely reach the ear, but it is very clear in the azx aspect of the present that this girl has no problem entering NMB48, she has a very good dance table xiàn, and her appearance is also quite cute, the most important thing is that from the second audition to the present, everyone has not seen her have any stage fright, which is not easy, so her selection is one of the members with the least objection to almost all the members participating in the audition.

After a song of Otsuka's love, Zhou Xiao began to ask questions.

"Why do you want to be an idol?"

This is a seemingly mundane question.

The girl in front of her replied: "I used to learn to dance, and I was originally interested in appearing on camera, plus Brother Zhou Xiao, so I persuaded my mother to come over." ”

It's a decent answer.

"Who do you like in AKB?"

"Atsuko Maeda-san......"

Zhou Xiao glanced at Uncle Inoue beside him and said, "Is there any more problem?" ”

"No, you go down."

After Miyuki Watanabe went down, Zhou Xiao looked at Uncle Inoue, and Uncle Inoue smiled: "I really made you guess right." ”

"What's wrong? Just two questions? Aya Yamamoto was confused.

"A lot of times you don't need to ask each other all the questions, the two questions just now are very ordinary, but this girl doesn't tell the truth, just this can prove that she is not so simple." Zhou Xiao said.

"Can you tell if she's lying just by looking at it?" Aya Yamamoto asked.

"yes. We've all been auditioning for so many years, and the number of members we've seen is estimated to be more than 10,000, so how could we still be deceived by their little lies. Zhou Xiaodao.

"Then I'll ...... when I'm casting" Aya Yamamoto hugged her head, she actually told a similar lie when she was drafting.

"Don't pay too much attention to it, lying won't hinder you from entering the group, on the other hand, if a girl is too honest, we will have a headache." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Ah......" Aya Yamamoto quickly understood.

"yes, idols or something...... In fact, it is a profession built on lies. Uncle Inoue has also had a lot of experience in the past few years, and then Zhou Xiao's words said.

NMB's selection process. After Miyuki Watanabe's singing part is completed, there is not much left, and eventually, the 20 selected girls will sign with AZX and become the first members of NMB.

Nearly 30 girls who fell in front of the final selection left crying, and the rest of the members gathered together to discuss the signing with the company.

Before the signing began, Zhou Xiao stood in front of the girls and said: "The initial members of the new group have a great opportunity, and I hope you can seize this opportunity and work hard to realize your dreams." And our staff will do our best to help you do that. ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhou Xiao." The girls said one after another.

Zhou Xiao nodded slightly and continued: "I know very well that it is not enough to just say, so after signing the contract today, if you have any difficulties, you can contact the company." If you don't have a suitable place to live, the company will provide you with a dormitory, and if necessary, the company can even advance a certain salary or transportation expenses. ”

The girls looked at each other. There was a look of gratitude on their faces.

"In addition, these two, Aya Yamamoto and Yuka Masuda. In the next few days, I will be familiar with the environment of NMB48 with you, and as seniors, you can ask them any questions. Zhou Xiao said.

After saying this, Zhou Xiao looked at the time and said, "Then that's it for today?" Ah, by the way, here's my contact information, if you members have anything you can call me and ask me. ”

Of course, he did not have only one phone, but among the several phones, the one that told the members of the SÙNMB contained the contact information of all the members of the AKB Group.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, let's go!" The staff took the members to bow together and sent Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue to leave the selection venue and Osaka together.

After the NMB audition, the AKB event in the fall of 2010 is basically over, and the next thing to welcome is the event at the end of each year.

The number of jobs at the end of the year at AKB Group is also quite significant.

In December, Takayanagi Mingyin's new single is about to be released, and the Red and White Song Club will definitely be able to be on this year, a record award or something, even if you can't win an award, you must have a chance to appear, in addition, in the activities held by the family itself, whether to hold the red and white of the family that will be held at this time every year in the previous life, Zhou Xiao is still thinking about it, and there is a commemorative performance for the fifth anniversary, and the commemorative performance of AKB was not much done in the past few years, but this year is different, on the one hand, the fifth anniversary is also a whole number, On the other hand, now that AKB has changed its guns, it is time to show its hard work and finally results in the past few years.

Zhou Xiao's side,The first episode of the variety show is not going to be done yet.,AKB's documentary will also be released around December 8th.,Along with the theater's fifth anniversary performance.,Finally,AKB1/48's game will also be on sale during this time.,It can be said that there hasn't been any large-scale performances since Yakushiji Temple in September this year.,But the girls' work hasn't decreased in the slightest.。

Because the various types of work are not small, Zhou Xiao simply divided the main work into two lines, one line is the AKB documentary route, and the other is the game route, combining all the work meat into the two main tasks at the end of this year, and bundling the publicity together, which is the main focus of Zhou Xiao and the company's people in recent months.

How do you bundle them together?

For example, the AKB documentary, of course, is about the hard work of the girls in the past five years and the current situation of the graduates, and it is promoted from the same perspective, as well as the 5th anniversary performance and record awards that will be held this year. In this series of activities, the final promotion is almost the same.

As for the game, the promotion of the game, Zhou Xiao is worried about putting it together with his variety show, his variety show, since 2000, has always had a very strong flash mob color, although the form is diverse, the object is also diverse, but the connotation is always that connotation, attach importance to people's participation. attaches importance to what activities can bring to people, among many programs in Japan that seem to have no reason and are simply crazy and funny, Zhou Xiao's program connotation is not particularly high, but it is enough to kill those works that have almost no connotation at all.

October rushed by.,The first phase of NMB48 and Yamamoto Aya Masuda Yuka are training like crazy.,October 27th,"Beginner" is finally on sale.。

This single, which is still in the center position of Yuko Oshima, has once again achieved a Zhou Xiao, which is not surprising. Others were shocked by a result.

On the first day of sales, the results were ...... 1.021 million!

First...... Million!

Regardless of how many miracle sales were created by super artists and idol groups before AKB, such as B'Z's 80 million CD sales. Another example is Hikaru Utada's single with 7 million sales, and AKB's 1 million sales on the first day, which is a record that can be compared to these legends! Especially outside of this AKB group, the most outrageous sales on the first day were only two or three hundred thousand. AKB's sales are definitely the entire Japanese entertainment industry!

Along with the sales came rave reviews.

The song "Beginner" is a rare masterpiece of the AKB Group, and Yuko Oshima's powerful dance is even more brilliant when it is performed live. In the eyes of critics, the song and dance complement each other and are the pinnacle of Japanese idol circles, and some AKB girls will even try to imitate Yuko's dance in private, but the result is that they can't dance well at all, and they fall to the ground in a few clicks, causing the other girls on the side to shoot videos with their mobile phones laugh.

Even, because Yuko's dance part was so difficult, before and after the release of "Beginner", when the theater AKB team came to perform the song, many centers had to change their solo part of the dance.

The song "Beginner" is very strong, because AKB and Yuko are very popular now, and the high popularity is not only reflected in the new single, in fact, AKB's last single HR still hasn't dropped out of the top 10 sales every week!

The last single is the demon single hr, the appeal of this song is too strong, this appeal is not only reflected in the sales, but also the various indicators about popularity are also very ferocious, such as the sales of online downloads, and then the authorized use of all aspects of Japan through the copyright owner, but also karaoke......

In fact, since the beginning of this year, AKB has gradually become popular, and along with the popularity of karaoke throughout AKB, the popularity of karaoke has also grown fiercely, and the first popular songs are "Surprise of Tears" and "Loud Diamond", the former is AKB's birthday song, and with the popularity of AKB, more and more people use AKB's songs when doing birthday parties. The latter is AKB's starting work that became popular last year, and it is also not small.

Then, "Ponytail and Hair Ring" also became popular, and the light melody and the action of making a bow on the top of the head became popular for many high school girls.

But this qiē has become a thing of the past after HR was released, and from a week after the release, HR has occupied the top position of the karaoke chart with an absolute advantage, followed by a large number of well-known songs produced by Zhou Xiao in the past ten years, as well as famous songs such as EVA for ten years.

In fact, you can't expect Zhou Xiao to have any discipline, don't look at his time as a singer in the Japanese entertainment industry, and his works can't be counted as many, but if you look at the singles he released in those years, you will find that this product has almost all the karaoke songs in the Japanese entertainment industry!

Zone's "Secretbase", the famous song "Little Love", SMAP's "The World's Only Flower", Miyuki Nakajima's "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon", Naotaro Moriyama and Kokucola's wedding songs "Sakura" and "Forever にともに", Yuzu's inspirational song "Bridge of Glory", for young people, Angelaaki's "To Fifteen-Year-Old You", inspirational Tokio "Zeonship", ......

In the past ten years, the names of Zhou Xiao and Zhou Xiao's songs have been frequent visitors on the karaoke list, and their legend has even surpassed the record of EVA famous songs in the top ten in the past ten years, and some people have even counted that in the past ten years, Zhou Xiao has won more times than all the artists in the Japanese entertainment industry combined!

In a way, this product can be regarded as the king of saliva songs in the Japanese entertainment industry......

HR This song can also be regarded as a song that continues the essence of Zhou Xiao's saliva song king, after the single was released, it climbed to the top of the list in one go, and formed a huge alliance with Zhou Xiao's songs below, but EVA This kind of single seems a little lonely, you know, in addition to EVA, at this time in the top ten songs on the single list, even another anime two-dimensional song "Thousand Sakura" is made by Zhou Xiao!
