Chapter 496: Announcing Citizenship
Singing, dancing, the messy backstage, Zhou Xiao who kept cheering for the members, and the cheers and cheers in the audience......
More than two hours of time whizzed by, and after the main performance was completed, the members stepped off the stage, the encore sound in the audience was deafening, and the members of the backstage changed into encore clothes and stood in a position where they could take the stage immediately.
"Wow !!" One of the girls cried.
Everyone looked over and found that the person who cried turned out to be Gao Bencai.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this? "It didn't start yesterday, it didn't end at night, why can't you cry!" Several girls complained.
Only watching the two of them crying and a few people who were also immigrants, and Zhou Xiao herself was a little sad when she watched it on the side, she was obviously reluctant to leave when she thought of it.
If it were herself, the girl might still be able to maintain her love as much as possible, but because she was surrounded by members, Gao Bencai's love had a tendency to get out of control, and her crying was noticeably louder.
"What to do? You can't play like this, huh? The members were a little overwhelmed, looking left and right at the staff who wanted to ask for help.
Zhou Xiao watched from the side for a few seconds, knowing that he couldn't do it if he didn't show up, he walked over, patted the girl's head lightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay......"
"Wow!" The girl's whole body suddenly pounced on Zhou Xiao.
Hugging this kind of thing is mostly something that couples will do, but now Gao Bencai's hug, no one will see the love between men and women, everyone can feel that what the girl is carrying is attachment and nervousness.
"It's okay......" Zhou Xiao gently stroked the girl's head and said in a voice that only girls could hear: "No matter where you are, Brother Zhou Xiao will support you." And don't forget, you're not completely gone. ”
The transfer of the members is only the migration of the team, and the joint company of AZX and LDH is only qualified to operate the new combination, and the contracts of each member remain with AZX.
Zhou Xiao's comfort seemed to have worked, and the girl in her arms gradually calmed down, although there were still some sobs, but it seemed that it was okay anymore.
"Alright, let's get ready to play." Zhou Xiao patted the girl's back lightly and said.
"Thank you......" After the girl who left Zhou Xiao's arms bowed and thanked her, she turned around and ran onto the stage with the members.
If it were a normal day, the members would have felt strange when they saw Aya Takamoto crying so abnormally. But time was pressing, and there was no time for them to feel strange and played, and then the moment all the girls stood still, the music sounded, and encore began.
Zhou Xiao took one last look at the girls who were dancing on the stage, and then turned around and walked to the top of the stage, where he had already been once yesterday.
He didn't hesitate about the movement of these eight girls, no matter how much the girls cried, Zhou Xiao would hold this idea, because only he knew. After being over 20 years old and not being able to completely get out of their own way, it is already difficult to be an AKB idol, and among the few people who have moved in the past, except for the two original lead singers of E-girls. Several others have proven to be difficult to get out of the traditional idol circle, AKB is not good, and SDN is not good.
SDN, as an attempt by Yasushi Akimoto, originally took the Korean Wave route in Japan. After the establishment of SDN, the members also went to South Korea to study, but in the end it turned out to be. Korean stuff still needs Koreans to play by themselves, and even if it is played by Japanese, at least it needs to be a complete version of the artist who is higher than SDN, which is composed of idols that have been eliminated even by AKB.
If Zhou Xiao had the works of Korean artists in his mind, maybe SDN would still have a little chance, but unfortunately, Zhou Xiao really didn't have a few works by Korean artists in his head, and it was completely impossible to support SDN to use the essence of Korean artists to please otaku and become popular without a foundation, so he had to give up this route.
Giving up the SDN road, what you can see in front of you, but there is still the E-girls route, as for the price? Zhou Xiao felt that paying Gao Bencai and the two was not a real price, because although he paid these two people, he got a joint venture company and strictly speaking, these two people did not leave AZX, isn't this result perfect?
Zhou Xiao, who was thinking like this, was suddenly patted by someone, he turned his head to look over, and found that HIRO had already stood beside him.
"You're not going to go back on it, are you?" HIRO SEEMED TO HAVE SEEN WHAT ZHOU XIAO WAS DOING FROM A DISTANCE, SO HE ASKED JOKINGLY.
"Of course not, it's a better path for their future, and I'm a firm believer in that." Zhou Xiao said.
"OHW......" HIRO SIGHED SUDDENLY.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Actually, when I built a new company, I still had some confidence in signing the two of them back to LDH, after all, Ai Hui had cultivated them for so long, and I had a good relationship with President Katsuren Matsuura, but seeing the scene just now, I found that this idea was very wrong, and it may be difficult to poach these two girls from your AZX, because their hearts have completely and completely belonged to you." HIRO SAID.
"Uh...... HIRO-san, don't say that, we're innocent. Zhou Xiao said.
"Hahaha, you know I didn't mean that." HIRO SAID.
Of course he doesn't mean that, artists do Zhou Xiao and HIRO, ordinary small Japanese artists, to put it in an exaggerated way, they can sleep with whoever they want, their own talent and assets, and management ability are their capital, Zhou Xiao is very handsome, young, and attractive to almost all women, HIRO is not bad, in fact, HIRO is really ugly, if it weren't for the solemn and fashionable dress, just look at the black face full of folds, It's almost the same as Song Xiaobao on Liu Laogen's big stage (I almost collapsed laughing when I wrote this analogy hahahahaha), but, it's such a good-looking man, and the wife he finally found turned out to be Shanghu Cai!
That's the Kamito lottery known as the "national lottery".,That's a beautiful girl who claims to have an eight-point Yamaguchi Baihui look!
"HIRO-san, the new company and new idol group in the future will be handed over to you." Zhou Xiao said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll make them top idols in Japan." HIRO SAID.
WHEN ZHOU XIAO WAS TALKING TO HIRO. The singing and dancing on the stage had stopped, and Zhou Xiao let out a sigh of relief, it was his turn to appear.
Pedaling to the top of the stage, Zhou Xiao appeared in front of the members and the meal.
Maybe it's really the reason why it has appeared too many times, Zhou Xiao's appearance this time did not cause any surprise, in fact, even Zhou Xiao's appearance yesterday was the same, and the shouts of the members' meals were mostly because of "sure enough" and not "why did Zhou Xiao appear", and there was another reason. Zhou Xiao's appearance often brings good news, so the members and the dinner are more expectant than afraid.
In fact, the first time AKB in the previous life made a surprise announcement after a concert was at the 2009 Daiki Festival, and since then, most of Togasaki's appearances and announcements have been about cabinet formation and team movement. Therefore, the band will give the members the impression of fear, but Zhou Xiao's appearance is not the case, since the beginning of AKB's establishment, he has been implementing the method of surprise appearance. And in terms of the announced things, it is not just the formation of a cabinet or the movement of the team, but there are many happy events, which makes the members gradually less afraid of Zhou Xiao's appearance and more expectant.
Zhou Xiao looked at the members in front of him who were really like this, and his heart was a little complicated, did these people still expect him to announce a good thing like yesterday's martial arts hall? For example, the solo of the members. On the show or something?
It's a pity that their expectations will be disappointed.
Zhou Xiao finally glanced at the members and said, "Before announcing today's matter, I want to invite someone. ”
"Oh!?" The meals and the members were a little strange. The concert is over, who is Zhou Xiao going to invite?
After speaking, Zhou Xiao moved out of the way a little, and another man appeared on the stage.
Although he has a ponytail, the suit and the furrow on his face, no one can see him as a man.
“HIRO……?” Some of the rice people recognized.
“HIRO? Who is it? "There are also some rice people who are simply the most thorough otaku, who don't know anyone except AKB, and it's understandable that such a meal will not recognize the ruffian uncle in front of him.
"I'd like to introduce you, this is the president of LDH, EXILE's HIRO-san!" Zhou Xiao said.
"It's EXILE!" As soon as Zhou Xiao introduced this, it was clear that EXILE's popularity and popularity in Japan were still very high.
But...... Why are the EXILE people coming to the AKB stage? Some of the members had a sense of foreboding.
"Good evening, everyone at AKB, and everyone who is having dinner, I'm HIRO from LDH." HIRO SAID.
Despite their suspicions, the members applauded HIRO's arrival.
Zhou Xiao said: "The reason why HIRO is here is because we have something to announce today. ”
Speaking of which, he paused for a moment and continued, "AZX and LDH will join forces to form a new company, A&E Entertainment, and in the future, this company will recruit girls from AKB and LDH companies who specialize in singing and dancing to form a new idol group. ”
"Huh!?" The dinner guys and the members were a little stunned, and they formed a new group? This new group ...... What route did you take?
Now in 2009, I'm afraid that only Zhou Xiao in the world knows what the route E-girls will take in the future, and even HIRO around Zhou Xiao may be very vague about this point, especially with the members, after hearing Zhou Xiao's announcement, everyone's first reaction is whether LDH wants to form a group similar to AKB? So why did the AKB people move? Who is AKB going to eliminate? Or something else?
All kinds of thoughts appeared in the hearts of the rice and the members, and no one could be sure of Zhou Xiao and HIRO's true thoughts.
Zhou Xiao continued: "In the future, the idol groups established by A&E companies, the brokerage contracts of the members will still remain in their respective companies LDH and AZX, and A&E will only be responsible for the operation of the future idol groups. ”
"Oh!" Most of the hearts of the diners were relieved, Zhou Xiao and AZX did a very good job in treating the members, AKB has been established for so long, and most of the members who graduated still stay in AZX as artists, no matter how popular they are, AZX has no intention of giving up. Only some girls who have decided to leave the entertainment industry completely will terminate their contracts with AZX.
"Next, I would like to announce that the first members to move to A&E are...... Matsubara Natsumi! "Yes!" A girl walked out of the crowd with no surprise on her face, and the members around her were full of reluctance, especially those with whom she usually had a good relationship.
"Yugari Sato!" Zhou Xiao continued to announce.
"Huh!? No! The girls finally reacted, these members that Zhou Xiao is announcing now will leave AKB and go to a brand new company, isn't that ...... Migration? It can be said that now Zhou Xiao announced these members. Its movement is even more excessive than the previous Furukawa Ai Li and Qin Zuo Kazuko were "assigned" to Nagoya! And among these people, especially the girls who have a very good relationship with the members, such as Mariko Shinoda, screamed the most.
"Noro Kayo!" Zhou Xiao continued to announce, this time it was Yuko Oshima's turn to collapse, Yelu and Yuko Oshima had a very good relationship, watching the man on the stage send his best friend to another company, Yuko Oshima felt the same sadness as Shinoda just now.
Although Yugari Sato and Yoshiyo Noro were prepared in their hearts, they were still inevitably sad at this time, but although they were sad, they did not stop. The two of them stepped out of the crowd and stood at the front of the stage.
And behind them, Shinoda and Oshima cried and hugged each other, in the eyes of the rice. There is no doubt that their expressions are sympathetic, and only Zhou Xiao knows that there should be a trace of hatred for hiding them from them.
Zhou Xiao's announcement is still ongoing, six members later. He said two of the most important names of this emigration: "Takamoto Asai! Mami Nakajima! ”
"Boom!" The diners finally couldn't sit still, and the members who moved before were basically not very popular. The operation is not pushed, and the members who are not popular among the fans, but these two girls are different, they are cute, they are of the right age, and they have excellent singing and dancing skills in the team, it is impossible for such girls not to stand out, the migration of these two girls is definitely a nerve-wracking existence for AKB!
After announcing all the members, Zhou Xiao said, "The above eight people will move to A&E Company, and as members of the new idol group, they will graduate from AKB. Now, I would like to ask Hiro-san to say a few words. Zhou Xiao said, handing over the topic to HIRO beside him.
HIRO looked at almost all the AKB members crying in the audience, as well as the noisy eaters further away, and his heart was also a little agitated, his EXILE had seen the world, but even so, in the face of this scene, he still felt quite powerful, and even thought about EXILE in the future, whether he would have a surprise announcement or something......
Of course, this kind of thought is just thinking about it in his heart, and on the face, he still said with a normal face: "Just like Zhou Xiao said, their brokerage contract is still in AZX, so please don't treat them as outsiders, AZX and LDH are cooperative relations rather than hostilities, and the new idol groups in the future, please support us as if they were AKB." ”
HIRO's words were very loud and calmed down with the fans, and after saying that, the applause of the rice finally rang out.
Zhou Xiao and HIRO have also completed their tasks at this point, and the stage continues to be handed over to the AKB members as the protagonists.
"Well, does anyone want to talk about your current feelings? Aya? Ami? Minami Takahashi asked.
Nakajima said: "I like AKB very much, I like it the most, but ...... Actually, I still have some regrets in my heart, because when I was in Ai Hui, I didn't succeed in making my debut when I dreamed, so when Brother Zhou Xiao and HIRO-san found us and invited them to participate in the new idol group, and the members who let you press the dream were also there, we finally nodded and agreed, not because we wanted to leave AKB, but because we wanted to make up for our past regrets, and ...... We are sure that even if we get a new group, everyone will support us as much as they did in AKB! ”
"No wonder Aya cried when Encore just now! I still think how to cry at this time of not moving forward, more and more because of this! Some of the girls reacted as well.
The girls on the stage expressed their feelings, telling their reluctance and brave choice, Zhou Xiao, who stepped down, didn't know what to do, from the formation of AKB to the present, this announcement should be the biggest shocking news, just when he was about to step down, he clearly saw Shinoda and Oshima Yuko's complicated, with countless love eyes, Zhou Xiao knew that the two of them must be very angry that they didn't know anything, Not only did the two members, Noro Kayo and Sato Yugari, tell them nothing, but even Zhou Xiao never mentioned it.
"I hope they can understand......" Zhou Xiao sighed a little, although he firmly believed in his heart that he must be right about the migration of these people, but on the other hand, even if Yuzi and they didn't understand themselves, it was normal, after all, they wouldn't see further than Zhou Xiao. (To be continued......)
