That's right, in the first decade of the 21st century, the entire Japanese entertainment industry is Zhou Xiao's generation, this Chinese teenager who was born out of nowhere, has achieved results that everyone is surprised by, and the entire Japanese entertainment industry is crazy about it, and his achievements even radiate outside Japan, not only winning the Oscar awards, but also selling the game he made at a sky-high price.

Zhou Xiao's experience is a legend, every step he takes, will attract unprecedented attention from Japanese audiences, in fact, his appearance rate is not very high, TV appearances are fixed, there are only weekly variety shows, most of his work is still carried out behind the scenes, but even so, he still has a very huge recognition among ordinary Japanese people, and even if the Japanese people don't know the prime minister, but they can't help but know him.

In Japan's entertainment industry at the beginning of the 21st century, which was ruled by Zhou Xiao, too many excellent works have Zhou Xiao's mark under their names, not only the movies and TV series he directed, the novels and scripts she created, the songs he wrote, the variety shows he participated in, and even his documentaries and other works are so amazing and even can be said to be masterpieces, not by his own appearance, personality or smart humor in front of the TV, Zhou Xiao really relied on his talent to conquer all Japanese audiences, It's understandable that his appeal is amazing.

The ratings of the first episode of "Antang Ji Qì Ren" have mixed reactions from all walks of life, and it is true that some people regret that the ratings of Zhou Xiao and Kimura's contract drama series are only these, but more voices, especially those TV stations, producers and even brokerage companies, still have a lot of trust in Zhou Xiao and Kimura, because the response to the series after internal viewing and broadcast is very good, and everyone thinks that this is a very good drama. Needless to say, Zhou Xiao and Japan's top sci-fi, anime and even novel creators contract scripts, and the quality and finesse of the story are absolutely complete to ordinary works.

And the aesthetic problem that worries Janis and others the most, the final survey results also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, since the role of aunts in Zhou Xiao's works is no longer large, then rest assured, from beginning to end, people's concern about Zhou Xiao's works is only how much they can earn rather than whether they can make money.

While Zhou Xiao was in Hononolu's hotel to handle company affairs, the AKB members were playing freely in Hawaii, and the relationship between them was much better after a few days of vacation life. It turns out that the experience of seeing each other naked on the deck before is indeed a big help to make the relationship between the members better, and now the girls shopping on the island are holding the supplementary card of Zhou Xiao's credit card in their hands, and there are 10,000 US dollars, that is, about 1 million yen of overdraft limit for them to use at will......

After another day of playing in Hawaii, Zhou Xiao and the girls finally flew back to Japan.

Take nine of the most important members of the AKB to Hawaii to have fun with this kind of thing. In Zhou Xiao's view, I am afraid that there is only one such time, 2009 is the last days before AKB becomes popular, and after the general election next year, the entire AKB will begin to attract the attention of Japanese society. At that time, it would be impossible for Zhou Xiao to take the girls without working for nearly a week, because the members at that time were so busy that they couldn't even meet the necessary sleep time every day. And for the vast majority of members, the most popular year or two will also be the period when girls make the most money in their lives.

Don't talk about others, just say Ami Sato, this girl is the first eighth. The eighteenth place in the second session, the position of 18, will not be able to enter the selection group in the general election, but this is already the best position for the girl in the single ranking, except for the general election, she is in the AKB and other singles, even the CW song selection may not be able to enter.

But it's such a girl, taking advantage of AKB's popularity, got a pretty good series of jobs, in addition to appearing in TV shows and even TV dramas in the name of AKB, her main development of radio stations and animation dubbing and even game dubbing work also has a lot of opportunities to participate, and more profitable is the appearance of stage plays and magazines, Zhou Xiao estimates that in 2011, Yami Cuisine can earn about 20 million to 40 million yen a year.

That's a lot, basically equal to the income of a Japanese wage earner for ten years.

In the past, it was said that idols can't make much money, like the Kitten Club, it is said that few members really make money, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, the bottom, the idol who has just debuted may not really make much money, but if the idol you do very well, or your group is very popular, then you can still earn quite a lot.

The idols themselves will definitely not say that they have made a lot of money, referring to the original Rinai said that he would be attacked by people on the Internet even if he bought a dress of tens of thousands of yuan, and this kind of attack is unreasonable, because this is originally earned by others, and how people use it has nothing to do with others.

But people just do it.

You know, that's Arihara, that's the most special idol in the Japanese idol circle, the idol that is least like an idol, he will be attacked like this, not to mention others, like Kashiwagi Yuki, Watanabe Mayu and other famous traditional idols, many of their clothes will even be specifically queried out and listed, like some of their private clothes listed on AKB variety shows, usually the price of the whole body will not exceed 30,000 yen, this is a must for their image, but really the clothes they wear in private, There have been many times that it has been proven that it is at the level of 100,000 at every turn, and it is 100,000 pieces, not 100,000 people.

It's no longer the time when idols worked very hard and didn't get a share at all, and they only had a fixed salary. Like Kashiwagi in the previous life, he has a monthly salary as a regular member of AKB, a monthly salary as an artist of Watanabe Society, and a salary every time he goes to the theater, as well as the release of French kisses' singles, the participation subsidy of handshake parties, participation in magazine shoots (big head), photo album royalties (super big head), etc., if an excellent artist still earns so little. If you don't talk about others, you can say that other people outside of AKB who are angry with this group will not let them go.

As for further reasons, just looking at the company established by her mother, it can be proved that a celebrity has made money to the point where he needs to open a company to avoid taxes, and Zhou Xiao estimates that even if Yuan's annual income is not 100 million, it may be almost close to this goal.

Of course, this is all based on members who are famous enough, and it is normal for those who have just joined the group for a short time, or who are really limited to strength and appearance, and who are not popular because of their strength and appearance, can only get a lower standard of living. If you can earn hundreds of thousands of yen a month as a member of the dried fish group, then there is no heavenly reason, and the dried fish group also has the way of working in the dried fish group, Uchida Mayumi and Tanabe were born as two living examples, the former relied on the fame of AKB, plus the family helped open a barbecue restaurant It is said that the business is good, and the latter has successfully operated an idol road that is completely different from the traditional impression, drinking and two-dimensional idols, such a subtle role positioning. is really a real wonder in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Therefore, when idols become popular, at least during the most popular period, the money they make is quite good, especially after the general election. This is especially true when the whole team has a huge amount of attention.

After next year's general election, if Zhou Xiao dares to pull the girls out for vacation, in just three or four days, the entire team may get tens of millions of losses. Even if Zhou Xiao doesn't take this money seriously, he must pay attention to the thoughts of the company staff and the girls.

When the girls returned to Japan, they immediately threw themselves into their work, and the first task was to record a new single and shoot a music video. The MV crew has been ready for a long time, and when the members come back, they will immediately devote themselves to filming, and this time, Amina Sato will no longer be treated by the eighth place in her previous life, but the entire MV appearance time is only about a second, and she will get the corresponding treatment of the 10th place.

And the new single shot by the girls, like Zhou Xiao's previous life, is still "May is an Excuse" ("言い訳Maybe").

This is a very, very important song in the history of AKB.

In Zhou Xiao's opinion, the importance of this song to AKB may be second only to Yuko Oshima's "heavyrotation" and "Love Fortune Cookies" by Rino Tohara, two of the biggest singles in AKB history.

In fact, there are quite a few important songs in AKB history, such as the debut single "Cherry Blossom Petals", the so-called "Skirt Fluttering" that established the so-called Shen Qi, and "I Want to See You", which is not inferior to the two popular songs, are all quite good singles, but the reason why Zhou Xiao put this "May is an excuse" in such a major position is not the song itself, but the appearance of the members who came with this song.

Shinobu Chino and the students of Tokyo University of the Arts used the color scheme of the red plaid skirt when making the song costume of the song, and the right time and just the right fashion vision made the song dress of the song "May is an excuse" a very famous classic, and it can even be said that the red plaid skirt has become the embodiment of the image of AKB48, and when the image of AKB48 is mentioned in Japan, the first thing that people think of is probably this beautiful red plaid skirt.

Of course, this plaid skirt is very beautiful, not only beautiful, but when designing this dress, the maker is to distinguish everyone in the selection group in the details, it can be said that from this dress, AKB and AKB's uniforms began to enter the field of vision of the Japanese fashion industry, and even caused a wave of red plaid skirts, and even some authors published a book "Plaid Skirt Economics", which uses plaid skirts to refer to AKB trends.

In addition to the song "May is an excuse", another song on the same CD "The Phoenix Butterfly That Can't Fly", Zhou Xiao predicts that it will also become a classic, and now this song has a stronger lineup than Zhou Xiao's previous life, Ayaka Kikuchi, Hirashima Natsumi, Yagami Kumi, Masuda Yuka, Rina Fingerhara, Kuramochi Asuka, Ai Shinozaki and Reina Matsui and Yuki Kashiwagi, the phoenix butterflies of these people, plus the double eldest lady center of Reina Matsui and Yuki Kashiwagi, Zhou Xiao predicts that in the next few years, This song will definitely be very strong in the song rankings at the beginning of each year.

In addition, another key member of this song is Ai Shinozaki, for her who has already proposed graduation internally, this will be the last time she will participate in the filming of AKB singles, and when the recording of this song and the MV shooting are completed, she will propose graduation at the performance, and she will graduate at this time. In the future, many people may think that she is very good at picking time, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, since she is still a member of AZX, when AKB becomes popular in the future, she can still act as a member of AKB before, with her positioning, even if AKB graduates when it is on fire, it will not cause too many waves.

The girls went to shoot the MV, and after the MV was filmed, they had to start preparing for the summer festival and the domestic tour that had just been carried out a little and the last martial arts concert in the summer, and Zhou Xiao did not participate much in these activities. In addition, he has not been filming movies and TV series for a while, so finally, at this time, Zhou Xiao can start thinking about his new film.

The new film is being prepared from now on, Zhou Xiao is expected to start filming after AKB's martial arts concert this year has passed, as for the works he is going to shoot, there is not much left for him at this time, Zhou Xiao has already chosen the work in his heart, that is, ...... "legalhigh".

Zhou Xiao's plug-in is about to expire. And because of the goal, he is not ready to hit the Oscars again, "Juno" and "The Undertaker" are quite enough for him, and there are not many goals to choose from using his plug-in to make a Zuò movie. And most of them are works that already have original works.

In addition, Zhou Xiao's reputation abroad seems to be very sufficient, no matter how much he manages his reputation abroad. His roots are still in Japan, and his goal is still in AKB, no matter how famous he is abroad. It's useless not to develop AKB, and the most useful time for foreign popularity in Zhou Xiao's opinion should be when AKB wants to go to the international market in the future, but at that time, Zhou Xiao's plug-in has long expired, and it is impossible to use it again.

The preparation stage of the drama "legalhigh" will be easier, because the two most important characters in the work, Masato Sakai is an actor he has worked with for a long time, Zhou Xiao has already determined the filming time with him, and Yui Aragaki is a signed artist in the AZX office.

The other preparations for this song, in addition to the actors, the music and the filming location, etc., and Zhou Xiao filmed another benefit of filming this drama at this time.

He called Reina Ono and prepared to return the theme song of this drama to her.

At this time, Ono got this theme song, and the significance was far greater than Zhou Xiao's previous life.

At this time, Ono is very popular among the people, but there are not many media recommendations on the AKB side, Zhou Xiao has been pushing her in a more restrained way, and many meals even attack Zhou Xiao with this, thinking that he is blind, so he will not wait to see Ono, a girl with very high potential.

In Zhou Xiao's opinion, this situation is very delicate, because he is obviously trying to keep Xiao Ye and make her slowly popular, but the fans don't understand the eyes that attack him......

Now, when Ono won the top 12 positions in the general election, Zhou Xiao can finally push her in a dignified manner.

Interviewing Ono was the first job Zhou Xiao did when he returned from Hawaii.

Although there is no news in the media about Zhou Xiao taking the top ten girls in AKB to Hawaii for a vacation, the AKB girls themselves are very clear, and in the past few days, other girls other than the nine people in Hawaii have more or less received a lot of vacation photos sent by the nine people.

All the girls will be very envious of being taken out by Brother Zhou Xiao, and even some girls will secretly guess how many of the nine people Brother Zhou Xiao has unspoken in the past few days, and most of their guesses are due to jealousy and not really feel that the world is too dark, Brother Zhou Xiao is too evil, and so on.

Xiao Ye is also a member of the upper class members who are extremely jealous, especially with her position, she is only close to becoming the top ten, why don't you want to rely on this opportunity to get close to Brother Zhou Xiao.

To her surprise, Zhou Xiao's brother had just returned from Hawaii and found Ono, which made her heart flutter.

And then, sure enough......

"I'm going to practice this song." Zhou Xiao handed over a song.

"This is ......," Ono asked with excitement after getting the song.

"Your solo single, and it's the theme song for my next TV series." Zhou Xiao said to Ono with a smile.

"Smack!" When I heard Zhou Xiao talk about the previous part, the girl had already begun to enter a state of ecstasy, but when Zhou Xiao finished the whole sentence, Xiao Ye sat on the ground of Zhou Xiao's office with weak legs and feet!

“solo!!!” The first solo member of an idol group!

And not only that, the song ...... It's still the theme song of Zhou Xiao's brother TV series!

Your solo single is only your meal at most, but the theme song of Zhou Xiao's TV series, based on the average rating of Zhou Xiao's TV series of 30%, at least 40 million people will hear his song!!

Ono was stunned by Zhou Xiao's brother's gift!
