Chapter 462: The Newborn SKE
There are many times when Qiu Yuankang even thinks that Zhou Xiao is a roundworm in his stomach.
wanted to be an idol group, Zhou Xiao came to the door waving billions of yen.
wanted Atsuko Maeda to be the center, Zhou Xiao nodded without hesitation.
Even when writing lyrics, Zhou Xiao's occasional prompts often have a feeling of empowerment for Qiu Yuanyasu.
Although Zhou Xiao also has a lot of disagreements with Yasuya Akimoto, such as the use of some people such as Yuko Oshima and Mai Oshima, or the recent elimination of the girl named Kuwabara in the SKY audition, but in general, the two can still be said to have a very tacit understanding.
To be honest, it's really awkward to be so sympathetic to a man......
And recently, Zhou Xiao did another thing that made him feel tacit and even a little disgusting.
At an internal meeting within the company about the direction of AKB, Zhou Xiao proposed the idea of having Jurina Matsui do a new single.
Yes, that's right, in fact, Yasuya Akimoto also thinks so.
Therefore, when Zhou Xiao brought up this matter, Qiu Yuankang even felt that the kid in front of him had mind reading skills!
Of course, this kind of thought was just a momentary whimsy of Qiu Yuanyasu, and soon, he made up the reason why Zhou Xiao would do this in his heart.
"Actually, it's very simple, the establishment of SKE needs a breaking point, and Zhu Lina's potential is optimistic about both herself and Zhou Xiao, in this case, it is normal to directly put her in the center position." Yasu Akimoto explained to himself in his heart.
He didn't know how much psychological struggle Zhou Xiao had done to bring up this matter, because to be honest, he didn't want Jurina to be anything on the first single he joined!
This is in his father's heart, Zhou Xiao clearly knows how hard Matsui Jurina has worked hard in the process of getting this center position, what a painful trial she has endured, and as a guy who feels sorry for her like cultivating Jurina as a daughter. To be honest, Zhou Xiao didn't want Zhu Lina to go through such a painful period when she was a ruler at all!
But...... Standing in 2014 and looking back, when Zhou Xiao asked himself, he knew very well that if Zhu Lina was allowed to make a new choice after seeing the stakes clearly, the girl would definitely still choose to become the center.
Because that's where she should stand.
My mind returned to the third audition of SKE, that is, the dance and singing auditions.
Dozens of girls who entered the third selection were divided into two groups for dance training and review as usual, and the girls first rehearsed for about 30 minutes, and the content of the rehearsal was the simplest "I Want to See You", which was a catchy song and dance. If the members participating in the audition really like AKB, then it is likely that they have already practiced this song at home, and even if they don't know what they haven't practiced before, half an hour of contact is enough to practice this song quite well.
However, it is not enough to practice well.
The so-called singing and dancing audition, if you really want to see a girl's singing and dancing, it is impossible, of course, this is a normal singing and dancing review, but for AKB, an idol group, it is not so much about reviewing a girl's singing and dancing. It's better to review the girl's mental state and sing, as long as the girl can basically sing in tune (you don't even need a tune in the later stage), and dance. It's your nature, if you're a shy and restrained face who is embarrassed to dance in front of the judges, or even thinks it's really shameful to be an idol or something, then why do we have to follow you into the group.
Arguably. Singing and dancing auditions or something, what you really see is actually a girl's nature.
And it's at this link. Before, except for Zhou Xiao, everyone else just thought that the ordinary 11-year-old girl Matsui Jurina had exploded.
After a brief rehearsal, Jurina stood with another group of girls and began dancing in front of seven or eight judges, twenty or so staff members, and six or seven cameras from the office and TV station.
Some girls are nervous, some are restrained, some are shy, and some are blushing and ashamed.
There was only one girl, she stood there as a matter of course, waving her arms as a matter of course, her face was not nervous, there was only eagerness to try! Her dance was not the most charismatic of all the people present, nor was she the most familiar with it of all, but there was no doubt that she had the greatest range of movements and her arms swinging the hardest!
It can be said that all those who do not understand why Jurina will be called the original stone in the future, and stand in the center position, if they are asked to go back to Nagoya in 2008, sit with Zhou Xiaoqiu Motoyasu, and let them think about the problem from the perspective of operation, they will definitely understand the reason why they chose Jurina in terms of operation.
In such a group of shy girls, she is like a rising sun, radiating dazzling brilliance!
"In the second phase of HKT's physiology in the future, when Yasu Akimoto saw Tajima Meiru, he felt the same way, right? In this world, there is indeed a primordial stone as an idol......" Zhou Xiao looked at Zhu Lina with wide eyes and thought.
In fact, several cameras around can record every movement of the girl, but Zhou Xiao just wants to see it, after so many years of traveling through time and space, Yuko Oshima has already seen it, and the Zhu Rina in front of him was only three years old when he first crossed over.
So...... Just let me see more, look at this girl I haven't seen in eight years.
By Zhou Xiao's side, Akimoto Kang looked at Zhu Lina with admiration on his face, and he also thought of the sentence that Zhou Xiao asked during the second selection.
"This kid ...... Sure enough, it really has potential. Yasu Akimoto thought.
Zhou Xiao also felt Qiu Yuankang's gaze, he turned his head to look at him, and his eyes were full of pride in Qiu Yuankang's eyes.
In fact, Akimoto Yasu thought too much, the smug in his eyes was not smug but happy, he was not proud, because this girl ...... If he had no experience in his previous life, he was sitting here, I am afraid it would be difficult to choose this girl, and Akimoto Yasushi was the one who really unearthed this rough stone.
Seeing Zhu Lina in the primary election, I thought that she was good was just the beginning, and what really impressed everyone with Zhou Xiao's vision was in the contact and training later.
Among the selected members, Jurina is the youngest. But...... She's also the one with the least stage fright.,Many of the girls in the audition used to dance and sing as complete laymen.,Jurina she took on the tasks assigned to her by the operation side very well.,Support these girls.,In some classes,She will discuss dance issues loudly in front of everyone, even dance teachers,The camera.,Directly point out the problems of other girls.,As if there is no feeling of "these members are their predecessors in life".
This is definitely the type of girl that I like most in terms of operations. The kind of situation where you say ten words and the other person doesn't say a word is the most annoying type.
Within about two weeks after the audition, who the whole group is going to push, who has good potential but can't push this kind of thing is basically clear, Jurina and Yagami Kumi stand out by dancing, Takai Tsukina is a woman who looks at the situation at a glance and may leave at any time, even if she has great potential, she will definitely not push it, and the most surprising thing is Reina Matsui, who looks like a rather squeamish girl in appearance. seems to have been raised like an eldest lady since she was a child, but such a girl is absolutely crazy about her work, and she is forced to operate it. While supervising the girls' training, the operation side needs to remind this girl not to practice too crazy!
No kidding, this girl is just crazy. After the dance class, I practiced for three hours on my own, and after the singing training table was not good, my voice was hoarse when I saw her again the next day. It is said that after the training, she went to karaoke and sang for two hours, which is what she did!
How much of a girl's efforts can help? Or is talent the only thing operations care about compared to hard work?
If Zhou Xiao was asked this question, he would first ask the other party: "Why do you have to classify many things in a single way?" Someone must be hard-working, someone must be talented? Zhou Xiao feels that talent and hard work are also on the successful side, they are not opposed to each other, what is really opposed to them is no talent and no hard work.
If you are talented and work hard, this child will definitely succeed, and if you don't work hard while lacking talent, this child's failure is inevitable, and if you have one of the two, it depends on her Cheng Dù. A girl with a talent of 90 points and a hard work score of 40 points will have a score of 130 points, a girl with a talent of 50 points and a hard work score of 99 points will have an achievement of 149 points, which is right, and it does not mean that if a girl is talented, she must not work hard, and if a girl is not talented, she must work hard. ”
Reina Matsui's talent is actually not particularly high, but it is still very good to compare the low-level members of SKE, so it is understandable that she, coupled with superhuman efforts, can succeed in the end.
As for Jurina? In Zhou Xiao's opinion, Zhu Lina's talent is very high, but it has not reached the peerless and rare idol Miao Zi Cheng Dù of Mayu Airi, her efforts are slightly inferior to Ling Nai, but the two are still a level in general, Zhu Lina's real weakness is in her character, maybe this is the regret brought by being too young, and when Zhu Lina becomes an adult, the time has come to 2017, what will the world be like at that time? Nobody knows.
The final selection time for SKE is at the end of July, and after nearly a month of training, the day of their first appearance in front of the fans is finally coming, and this opportunity is the first large-scale outdoor concert that AKB will hold this year. AKB48 Summer Festival! above.
This concert held at the Hibiya Field Concert Hall is a rare field concert in AKB, and there are not many AKB field concerts or open-air concerts, except for Hibiya, Fujikyu in 09 and Yakushiji in 10 years, it should be one of the few outdoor concerts in AKB, as for outdoor concerts, strictly speaking, concerts in several open-air arenas in the later period are also counted, but the essence of the two is actually very different.
On the evening of August 23rd, the members of SKE packed up and prepared to leave Nagoya for Tokyo.
During the 20-day training period, the SKE girls had not been to Tokyo en masse, but since Nagoya was not very far from Tokyo in such a developed part of Japan, almost none of the girls had never been to Tokyo privately, and many of them had even traveled to Tokyo during school trips.
Of course, go to Tokyo in that case. It's completely different from going to Tokyo as an idol and as a worker. In that case, the girls were relaxed and casual, and now they go to Tokyo, their hearts are full of apprehension and anxiety, in addition to these, they also have a lot of expectations in their hearts, the road ahead, in their opinion, has just begun, and this road. There is already a handsome figure standing leading them, and with this person here, their self-confidence is very full.
Matsui Jurina is also one of the girls in this group, and now she doesn't look special, a girl who has just been in the sixth grade of elementary school, usually goes to school with a little yellow hat, carries a little red schoolbag, and carries an alarm around her neck, but she didn't expect it to be in a blink of an eye. She's going to work in Beijing.
Jurina wasn't particularly nervous, she wasn't the kind of person who was easily nervous, she was more expectant than nervous. Looking forward to standing on the stage, looking forward to singing and dancing, looking forward to being in Qiu Yuanyasu, and expressing himself in front of Zhou Xiao's brother.
In front of the theater. The girls gathered together, and during the day, they had a full day of training in the theater as usual. In the evening, AZX's bus came and was ready to take them to the night bus stop.
20 young girls get together, although it is only a month, they are already very familiar with each other, relatively speaking, the second group in the early stage of its establishment is like this, especially like SKE, like AKB's K group, in the case of having an opponent or goal above them, their motivation will be very sufficient, rush up, and the idea of surpassing each other will be very enthusiastic, relatively, they will be more grouped with each other, more like a whole, and not like AKB's group A is looser as a whole, At the center of the members is themselves.
It's actually very tiring to take the night bus, but there is nothing to do about it, except that if you take the Shinkansen during the day tomorrow, it is a pity to waste time on the journey, so I have to let the girls take the night bus hard.
The girls don't actually do anything at the concert the day after tomorrow, they just come out to introduce themselves, and sing a song "PARTY Begins" and get off the stage, and the girls come to Tokyo to study and watch the performances of their seniors.
Tomorrow, all day long, AKB's seniors will be rehearsing on stage, and it is definitely a great incentive for girls who have little experience on stage to be able to watch a concert up close.
In addition to the concert, after the concert, they will also go to the theater of AKB Akihabara to watch the members' performances, and the newly established SKE is obviously more important than watching and listening.
The night bus swayed for a long time and finally arrived in Tokyo, a group of girls got off the bus and checked into the hotel arranged by AZX, the night bus or something, it was very tiring to sit up, so the girls didn't do anything more, they climbed into bed and fell asleep after taking a shower.
The night passed quickly, and at six o'clock in the morning, the agent called the girls from room to room, and they were going to the concert.
Jurina, who has just been in the sixth grade, still likes to lie in bed the most, and it took a lot of effort for Reina, who was in the same room, to finally wake up the girl, and endure Jurina's wake-up gas to help her get dressed.
Last night, Jurina, who had never left home alone, was in a state of excitement, feeling that everything was very new, and at the same time she was very uneasy and even scared, when Reina went to take a shower, she had just entered the bathroom for less than two minutes, and Jurina came over.
"Reina, you said that tomorrow's rehearsal, will the seniors be fierce when they see us?" "No, the seniors are very gentle."
"Yuko's predecessor is so handsome, when I watch the video, her dancing is really beautiful, it would be nice if I could be like her." "Really?"
At first, Reina wondered why Jurina would come over and tell her about this, but then she realized that Jurina might not need her reply at all, and this little girl should just be looking at a person's room and being scared.
"Obviously only 11 years old, a little girl who doesn't dare to live by herself, what kind of maturity is pretending." Looking at the silhouette of Jurina curled up on the bathroom door, Reina smiled and whispered to herself.
Surrounded by excitement and a little fear, Jurina tosses and falls asleep late at night, which is why it is so difficult for her to get out of bed in the morning. Of course, although she didn't want to get up, Jurina was still very sensible, and after lying in bed for a few minutes with a coquettish and angry, she finally got up and began to dress honestly, which can be regarded as catching up with everyone's footsteps before the assembly and departure, and did not make the staff mad.
After gathering outside the hotel, the 20 girls finally got on the bus prepared by the operation department, and they were going directly to Hibiya Park, where they would meet up with AKB and Zhou Xiao, who were already there, to participate in the AKB outdoor concert.
What they don't know is that in AKB, there are several girls who will be working part-time, and among them, there will be several girls who will be announced to be part-time in AKB today.
This is a great opportunity for these girls, and at the same time, the opportunity for these girls also represents an opportunity for SKE. (To be continued......)
