The concert ended, after the general election was announced.

The AKB girls are actually a little used to being thundered by various news after each concert, but this time the news is a little special, and the special thing is that most of the members don't know whether to be happy or sad.

The general election, Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuanyasu took out this thing, there is no doubt that it broke the taboo of the idol group, and the previous life of Qiu Yuanyasu was really powerful to do this thing, because this is undoubtedly equivalent to the same behavior as a spoiler, which is equivalent to the opposite of everyone's normal thinking direction, and the so-called general election is not just an election, this election is accompanied by a variety of propaganda before and after, in addition to the election, the entire group will adjust the plan and operation style for the whole year and even the New Year, If you just want to make an election, you are absolutely wrong.

After the concert, the celebration was held in the backstage hall as usual, but the members looked quite apprehensive and didn't know what to do.

When the members came to the hall, Zhou Xiao first picked up the microphone, and he had something to say to the members.

Today's AKB,Who's more popular.,Who can take the first place or something.,In fact, we don't have a special concept.,Ah sauce has been standing in the center.,But no one can guarantee that she's the most popular person.,It can be said that the biggest significance of the first general election is that this general election basically determines the seats of the members.,Let the members understand their position.,Let the operation know who is more suitable to push.,It can be said that it can be said that it is more appropriate to kill multiple birds with one stone.。

In the state that the first general election has not yet been held, Zhou Xiao feels that it would be more appropriate to announce some incentive policies for members.

If it is the second or third general election, most of the members will have some speculation about their position, and the members generally have a better understanding of where each person can finally stand. When the time comes, the announcement of incentive policies will not play a big role.

Before Zhou Xiao said this, according to his instructions, a group of staff members came in and invited out the hall, NHKHALL staff, media reporters, ordinary employees, etc., and only the more formal employees of AZX and AKB operations were left here.

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Zhou Xiao said: "About this general election. Some people may be very resistant, thinking that idol groups or something, they should never do this, but my thoughts with Mr. Yasushi Akimoto are that some things are better to explain clearly than to do unspoken rules, and those girls around you are your colleagues and your opponents. But...... Before the general election is announced, how can they not be your opponents? Think of the Kitten Club, an idol group in the eighties, the rivalry between Sayuri Kunisi and Eiri Nitta. This antagonism has always existed and will not increase or die out with the birth of the general election.

But...... If you think about it, why can't they be your friends? Yes, they may be better than you in some ways. But...... So what? If in ordinary life, you have a friend who is richer than you, don't you associate with her? In a word. I believe that there are so-called dreams in your hearts, and I hope that when you run on the road of your dreams, remember that those who are running with you around you, even if you treat her badly and make her fall, you are not closer to the goal of your dreams.

You guys...... Do you understand? ”

The meaning of Zhou Xiao's words is very simple, the members are opponents of each other, yes, and everyone will indeed have a gap in ranking and popularity with each other, and even a gap between them, but on the road to their dreams, everyone can only make each other farther and farther away from their dreams.

After saying this paragraph, Zhou Xiao continued: "Of course, many things can't just be said negatively, this general election, I hope you can all be serious, so I added some rewards privately." ”

Reward? A lot of girls pricked up their ears.

"All the members who enter the final list of thirty people in the general election will get the opportunity to be on my variety show "Flash Trip", and not together, but five people and five people, as for whether you can seize the opportunity at that time, it depends on you. In addition, each of you will receive a meal ticket worth 100,000 yen, and you can choose from a variety of types, including yakiniku restaurants and sweetry shops. ”

Zhou Xiao's reward is actually quite good, although many members of his "Flash Trip" have actually been on it, but the people who can be on it are basically limited to the members who are strongly promoted by the operation, like the members who are relatively low in popularity and potential basically have no chance to appear on variety shows. As for the meal ticket in the back, it's just a taste of appetite, and it's only 3 million yen for 30 people with a discount.

"Then, the top 20 members, in addition to appearing on variety shows, I will recommend you to major magazines, and each of you will get a chance to appear in the magazine." Zhou Xiao continued, this reward is actually very good, isn't the current AKB the monster group in the future, the magazine is not just anyone can be on it, basically only members with good looks, good figure or popularity can be on, Zhou Xiao's reward is still very tempting for 11 to 20 members.

"As for the members of the top ten...... You're going to get a six-day trip to Hawaii, and AKB is going to become popular according to my guess, and there aren't many opportunities in the future for a six-day holiday. Zhou Xiao said.

"Six days! Hawaii! "The members, especially those who feel that they have a chance, are excited, the Japanese like Hawaii very much, and Zhou Xiao's reward is the most tempting for the members who are still little idols!

"Brother Zhou Xiao, Hawaii's words...... How are we going to get there? Mai Oshima asked, raising her hand.

"By plane, of course." Zhou Xiao said.

"By plane? Whose plane are you flying in? Mai Oshima asked.

"Of course it's ......" Zhou Xiao was stunned halfway through speaking, looking at the eyes of Mai Oshima and the other members, she understood what the girl meant.

"Okay, I know, the last member to make it to the top 10 will be my private jet to Hawaii! If you don't have enough seats, go twice! Zhou Xiao said.

"Yay!!" The members are all excited, they haven't sat on the legendary AKB48 of Zhou Xiao's brother yet!

In fact, Zhou Xiao didn't expect it himself. His promise worked so well among the members, and many girls were excited to talk to the people around them after hearing Zhou Xiao's promise, as if they had already sat on his plane.

The next day, AKB's official website posted the future itinerary of AKB, the release of a new single with the general election ballot at the end of May, the general election in early June, the mid-summer festival in July, and the Budokan festival at the end of August. Dubbed "the highest summer" by AKB's rice bowls, all of them are excited and looking forward to the arrival of this summer.

In the summer of 2009 in history, in fact, there were only general elections and martial arts halls, and the scale of the general election in 2009 in history was actually very small, just like the first song ranking in 2008, the venue was operated by TBS such as Akasaka BLITZ, and there were only 1300 as a small venue, and even the host was just Togasaki and Chino Shinobu two AKB staff. There is a huge difference from the super-large television events that were held in the outdoor stadium in later generations, hosted by Kazuo Tokumitsu, and broadcast live on television for several hours.

Today's AKB is a little larger than in the previous life. Especially now that AKB has begun to embark on the popular train, the AKB general menu "Tearful Surprise" in the previous life, the sales volume at the beginning of the first week was only a little over 100,000, in this life. The first milestone of 100,000 has already been achieved, and with the very anticipated event of this year's summer festival about to be held, the sales of this order should be larger. However, Zhou Xiao estimates that the fans have not yet developed a culture of buying CDs in large quantities in order to let their favorite members get higher rankings, so the overall improvement will not be too much.

The single "Surprise of Tears" is one of the best AKB singles, and as the birthday song of the AKB series, after this single, every year every year when the members celebrate their birthdays, they will play this song at their birthday festivals.

The selection of this song in the previous life is not much different from Zhang's single "Ten Years Sakura", missing Mai Oshima, who has just graduated, and Asuka Kuramochi, adding members such as Mika Komori and Moe Nito, as for Rino Tsuhara, Reina Matsui and other members are also selected normally.

But in this life, in order for some members to be selected, some members must be abandoned.

The first is that Mai Oshima has not graduated, and even if the operation doesn't push her much, it is impossible for such a popular member to put her out of the selection.

Then, Airi Suzuki is also a member who is unlikely to lose the election, and members such as Mika Komori and Moe Nito have also been confirmed to be unable to fully respond to the expectations of the operation, and even Miho Miyazaki and Zhou Xiao have taken it from the original selection position.

Miho Miyazaki's popularity is actually quite good, although she has begun to gradually gain weight, but her entire face shape has not changed particularly dramatically, so she still has a top-notch cute appearance.

But Zhou Xiao still let her lose the election, because he saw that Nami Okujin and Ami Sato were not fat, a girl who had gained weight entered the selection, and the other two girls who still maintained their figure were not pushed, Zhou Xiao felt that this was very unfair.

After losing so many votes, what about the selected members?

First of all, Takashiro Yashu was put into the selection by Zhou Xiao.

In the AKB in her previous life, Takashiro Aki entered the selection in the single "Ponytail and Hair Ring", and after that, she ushered in an explosion of popularity, successfully winning the 13th place in the second general election, and her first general election ranking was only 23rd.

The original Takashiro Yashu still has a gap to enter the single selection, because she is a student in the sixth period, the sixth and seventh phases, and the acceptance of the rice is not very high.

But Zhou Xiao doesn't have this prejudice, and compared with a really stupid girl like Mika Komori, he feels that Takashiro Aki's potential is still greater.

In addition to Takashiro Aki, two former AKB members who moved to SKE, Furukawa Ai Li and Kazuko Qin Zuo, were also put into the selection by him, and these two girls were only marginal members in the original AKB single selection, but Zhou Xiao still paid attention to them, and this time the general selection list specifically put them in the selection group, which can be regarded as a response to the promise that he would force them when he moved them last year.

For more than a month after the concert of the gods, AKB began to prepare for the new single and build momentum, and the single Surprise of Tears, which was sealed in the voting ticket, was used again for the MV shooting, and the actor of the teacher in the film, who was used in his previous life, was Hideaki Ito, but this time he encountered some problems, and on the day of shooting. Hideaki Ito was in a car accident on the way to the filming location, and although he was not particularly injured, he was too late to appear in the music video.

With everything ready, but missing one of the most important roles, director Etsuki Takahashi pulled Zhou Xiao onto the podium on a whim.

As a result, a new MV for "Surprise of Tears" with Zhou Xiao as a guest teacher was born.

Zhou Xiao's cameo appearance is a surprise for most people, but for Zhou Xiao himself, this is actually just a trivial matter, nothing more than playing a small role with only one scene and three or four shots.

After filming this MV, Zhou Xiao immediately put into another very critical task, that is, the selection of AKB's eighth phase students.

The selection of students in the eighth phase started about a month later than in the previous life. A few people who were secretly signed by Zhou Xiao finally appeared in front of everyone.

These people are...... A Zhou Xiao has actually been signed for a while, originally wanted to be launched in this year's AZX headquarters audition, but the headquarters selection was finally abandoned, Zhou Xiao decided to introduce it to AKB's 94-year-old girl Hirose Alice, this girl is estimated to know not many people, in addition to signing her, Zhou Xiao also signed her sister, Hirose Sisi, who is now just about 11 years old, these two girls. It is expected to become another sister file of AKB after the Hexi sisters.

Although the Hirose sisters Zhou Xiao knew each other, they didn't know much, and the reason why he signed them was because before he crossed over, he just heard that Hirose Sisi would star in a Japanese drama in the first quarter of 2015. At that time, the girl was only 16 years old, and a 16-year-old girl could star in a Japanese drama, Zhou Xiao felt that her potential must be very good, so she signed this pair of sisters in.

After Alice Hirose. The second person is a Zhou Xiao who attaches importance to Cheng dù and is not inferior to referring to the variety show hanging of Hara Rinai and Mai Oshima, this person is ...... Ruriko Kojima!

Zhou Xiao has always thought. The girl who can shine in the variety show is the most important storage in the idol group, just like Zhiyuan, and such a girl has only three in the original AKB history, that is, Zhiyuan, Mai Oshima, and half each of Minami Mine Kishi and Kawaei Rinna.

And Ruriko Kojima, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, is another potential girl who is not inferior to Mai Oshima and Rino Fingerhara in terms of variety show ability!

This girl's potential is very high, originally she could enter the entertainment industry to take the beautiful girl route, if there was no intervention of Zhou Xiao, she would stand out from the selection of 33,000 people in Horipro this year, and then she will publish a photo album and a single, looking like an ordinary comprehensive artist.

Photo albums, magazine models, singles, and possibly TV dramas in the future, this is the most common marketing method for Japanese female artists, and everything is done in various places, and if you really do it, you can grasp the point of this girl and know what she is most suitable for.

But what no one expected was that she, who had developed along this route for a year or two but had no achievements, would take a different path in the more difficult variety shows.

Especially since about 12 years, Ruriko Kojima's variety show road has become smoother and smoother, with a fairly good reaction speed among girls, smart mind, coupled with her beautiful but kind, her appearance that can attract attention including women's meals, Ruriko Kojima's status in variety shows is not even inferior to Rino Zhihara, you know, AKB's lineup of hundreds of people is only such a strange thing, Ruriko Kojima can compare with her, which already shows its strength.

What kind of storage is the original, and the original is regarded by the members as a storage that is likely to become a big artist in the future, this big thing, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, may be similar to Zhongju Zhengguang and Tamori! Don't think it's impossible, if you just look at the present, there is a world of difference between Zhiyuan and these two, but don't forget Zhiyuan's age, in 1994, Zhongju Zhengguang, and he has only just debuted for three years, and he has just received the regular appearance of Tamori's "It's okay to laugh", although most of the men's success is relatively late, but once they reach Cheng Dù, who is big enough, women's appearance is also an element that will be ignored, such as Wada Qiuzi, who looks so ugly and old, isn't he still a super artist?

can be seen as an artist with the potential to compare with Zhiyuan, and it can be seen that Ruriko Kojima is optimistic about Zhou Xiao.

In addition to these few people, Zhou Xiao was most valued, he found it early, but he has been hiding, and it has not been taken out until now that it is a girl from Osaka, the capital of comedy, this girl actually entered the arts school in 2001, and in 2003, when she was 10 years old, she also signed a contract with a modeling agency, and in 2005, she also formed a girl band with several other girls.

Without Zhou Xiao, the band would not have disbanded until the end of 2009, but some of Zhou Xiao's butterfly effects affected the band.

The reason why the girl band is concerned is mainly because of ZONE, which debuted in 2000, after the disbandment of ZONE in 2005, there are many other bands in Japan, but now the difference from the previous life is that the ZONE in the previous life is really popular, but now in ZONE, their most popular song was taken out by Zhou Xiao first, which leads to the entire history of zhìZONE at least not as powerful as Zhou Xiao's previous life, and at the same time, this also directly leads the girl's band more than a year in advance, It was disbanded in the second half of 2008, and the girl who lost her job was easily signed into the company by Zhou Xiao.

This girl is ...... History would have reappeared in 2010 and became a NMB48ACE ...... Aya Yamamoto! (To be continued......)
