Chapter 327: AKZ is founded

Many movies and TV series are very popular, the only game is heading for tens of millions of sales, and every variety show can get quite good ratings, such azx is undoubtedly an upstart role in the Japanese industry, and the vast majority of media people can see that as long as Zhou Xiao does not fall, azx can always create something out of zào, and the company's exhibition will not stop.

Such a company is good, but if you really ask those brokerage companies whether they will regard AZX as a very important opponent, maybe the answer will not be very satisfactory.

Because although AZX is almost no company in terms of making money, AZX is a huge disadvantage in terms of people.

Zhou Xiao himself must admit this, although the company has signed the two pillars in the future and Aoi Miyazaki, who is not inferior to these two and is on a higher stage, also has ange1aaki and the head of biology in music, and the women's twelve orchestras, but these artists, no matter how famous they are, they can't compare to big things like Genesis and Yoshimoto Kogye, even if they don't compare with these male-dominated companies, what about those star offices or Oscars that can be called Tianhou Palace?

However, this contempt for the entire industry is also different from Zhou Xiao's self-knowledge, and the biggest difference is that the vast majority of people in the industry don't know that Zhou Xiao signed these people before, and they were just regular contracts, and the company will not tilt their excess resources towards them, and they will not deliberately run their own actress market or female singer market, because the real goal of AZX is female idols.

Female idols or something, in the 80s, used to be the most difficult force to ignore in the Japanese entertainment industry, but in the 9o years, it was not only Japan that was lost, but also this idol culture, during this time, the only idol was SPEED, although this group was also a singer strictly speaking. This lost culture until the late nineties. The birth of the Good Morning Girls group is gradually recovering.

And one thing that everyone in the industry can see is that the Good Morning Girl Group or something...... In fact, it has begun to decline, from the establishment around 98 years, to the glory of around 2ooo years, and now 2oo4 years, the Good Morning Girl Group, which once dominated the entire Japanese idol circle, has gradually begun to withdraw from the stage of history, and what is the new idol that is different from Good Morning? The whole of Japan is groping, but there is one person who has a plug-in. What the new group is like and what it needs to use to become popular, only Zhou Xiao, five or six years in advance, can see clearly.

It can be said that Zhou Xiao inadvertently made a secret appearance on the plank road, and the sudden turn of AZX, which seems to focus on the ordinary Japanese entertainment market, will bring a lot of shock to the Japanese entertainment industry.

And this shock, now. It's getting started.

In the middle of 2oo4, a subsidiary company of AZX was finally founded.

This entertainment company called AKZ was jointly established by Zhou Xiao and Yasu Akimoto, in which all the company's funds and investments were borne by the parent company AZX, while Yasu Akimoto and his company, who did not contribute money, occupied 1O% of the shares. And his work is much easier than that of the chief producer in his previous life, in addition to being responsible for some of the lyrics of the songs of the future girl group, Yasu Akimoto also serves as the producer of AKB. However, this time, the identity of the maker is a "double top" system parallel to Zhou Xiao.

There are many problems with this kind of system, such as once Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang have a disagreement, wouldn't there be no way to decide? But this kind of thing Akimoto Yasuya also thinks very openly. Qiu Yuankang had already known Zhou Xiao's thoughts, so in the past few years, the two of them have also made it very clear about the relevant discussions with Zhou Xiao, he understands that he is a parallel system with Zhou Xiao, but in fact, compared with Zhou Xiao, the gold owner, Qiu Yuankang is still a wage earner in the end, and Qiu Yuankang can't get the real decision-making power, he can only be regarded as the second-in-command of this combination at most.

Yasushi Akimoto was originally a very arrogant person, and it is normal for talented people to be like this, so why did he accept Zhou Xiao's invitation? In fact, it is very simple, first, Zhou Xiao is really sincerely inviting him, in the past few years, Zhou Xiao will talk about these things almost every time he meets him.

The second is that he really has a lot of resentment towards the female idol, and the kitten club back then could be regarded as ruined by him, which made him not care.

As for the last reason, of course, the temptation given by Zhou Xiao is too great......

Not to mention the 10% stake in AKZ, only he and Zhou Xiao can create all the lyrics of the group, and no one else will be used, and this alone is a big monopoly. This is not a small amount, Akimoto Yasu would not have thought that AKB would have thirty or forty million sales by 2o14 in the future, but in his eyes, as long as it continues for a few more years, one or two million sales and the use of performance songs, the usage fee under various circumstances will not be less, which is a lot of money.

Another temptation is on Zhou Xiao, the future girl group, the lyrics are that Yasu Akimoto is in charge, who is in charge of the tune? Zhou Xiao said that he was in charge of himself, Qiu Yuankang almost laughed at that time, he wrote the lyrics very quickly, and he didn't dare to say that he was in charge of all the lyrics of a group, Zhou Xiao dared to say that he was in charge of the song? The music is more difficult and difficult to create than the lyrics, how could Zhou Xiao make a qiē tune by himself?

And if there are not enough tunes, a key question arises, what is the basis for the unity of the combination? When the song no longer uses Zhou Xiao's works, Akimoto Yasu's lyrics will not become the only thing to ensure the unity of the combination, once he falls out with Zhou Xiao, once he masters the lyrics and Zhou Xiao does not master the tune, if he doesn't allow AKZ to use the song, wouldn't they have no choice? This is undoubtedly a very important backhand that Akimoto Yasusu thinks he is holding onto.

He didn't know that Zhou Xiao had hundreds of AKB songs in his head.

Of course, the rights and equity distribution of the two parties will never be said outside, on the outside, Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuanyasu are both joint people of the future combination, and the power of the two sides is the same, as if this combination was made by two people and one half.

All disputes and disagreements will be carried out behind the camera, and any disputes and disagreements that appear in front of the camera will be a tacit expression.

As for whether it will be too much to hand over all the lyrics to Yasu Akimoto, you must know that if AKB succeeds, it will sell tens of millions of sales in the future, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, it is actually okay, what he really cares about is actually the various friends and relationships of Yasu Akimoto, although Zhou Xiao has been working very hard to manage various relationships in the past few years since his debut. It's still far worse than the old fritters like Yasuya Akimoto, who have been mixed for many years, and there are many people and many roads, and there are many relationships, so many things will be much easier to do.

Of course, the cooperation between Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang will not be told to the media now, but at the internal meeting of AZX, the company's next step has been fully announced.

For Zhou Xiao to be a female idol, some people in AZX already knew about it and made some preparations with Zhou Xiao, and some people who didn't know it were mostly not important personnel of the company, and these people were often used to Zhou Xiao's whimsical ideas. However, there are still some people who will be unavoidable. Especially after hearing that Qiu Yuankang is Zhou Xiao's partner, many people who don't know what to do are inevitably curious whether Zhou Xiao will reach out to the idol industry under the persuasion of this former idol maker.

And...... It's such a huge handiwork.

How huge? Over the next two years, AZX's investments are ...... Five billion yen.

You must know that when Yasu Akimoto and two other people founded AKS, the initial start-up capital was only 2 billion yen, and most of these yen was invested in renting and renovating the theater, and the money really left for the idol group was not very much. But Zhou Xiao was not ambiguous this time, and directly smashed it with 5 billion yen, which was very courageous.

What are these five billion going to do? It turns out that half of the two billion of AKS was done to build theaters. The other half is the operating salary of the whole team, the recording practice of songs, the training of various members, etc., the money for these jobs is necessary and cannot be saved, but the good thing is that. The investment of this money is not much, even if it is too much, and like a recording studio, the purchase of various photography and operation equipment is a type that can be used many times after buying once. Originally, AKS might have rented some things because of lack of funds, but in Zhou Xiao's hands, he bought and bought without saying a word, anyway, there was enough money.

So, in addition to the theater, the things that were originally rented were bought directly, and the things that were originally bought are now bought in two copies at a time for backup, and in the end, they are ready to check the accounts at about the same time, and now the things that can be prepared for 2o billion are now 3o billion to be fully purchased, which makes azx's accounts distressed to death.

As for the remaining two billion, Zhou Xiao actually has a goal, and these two billion are used to establish AKB school!

The establishment of AKB, from 2OO5 to 2O14, has been talked about for nine years, but one thing that has not been done is that AKB has been schooled.

In fact, if you want to talk about the Japanese entertainment industry, schooling is not a rare thing, Genesys has JR. training, in addition to JR, the famous Horikoshi High School can almost be regarded as Genesys' back garden. As for Yoshimoto Kogye, there are many talented Yoshimoto Comprehensive Arts Students (NSC), and most of Yoshimoto's funny artists are born here.

From the very beginning, AKB has been talking about wanting to make a school and want to cultivate female idols like school students, but this job is ...... But it has never been successful, and there is only one reason, and that is money.

There are about 80 people in AKB's headquarters in 2o14, and these 80 people are from twenty-six or seven to twelve or thirteen years old, and the huge age span can't really be an AKB college, so in the end, it must be just an art school that trains all kinds of dance, singing, acting, and variety show skills, and can only be carried out in the students' spare time. Schools can then arrange the teaching content calmly.

It's very difficult on AKB's side.,The time for each batch to enter the group is not necessarily.,And AKB is even if it debuts after entering the group disclosure.,The graduate work after the debut is also very busy.,In terms of theater,It's not enough to practice the ten songs you perform.,The competition for the job of a female idol is so fierce.,If you're only 16.,When you need to replace the top members who can't be starred in other people, you won't.,Then naturally someone else will.,When the number of appearances is less.,The popularity will fall.。

In the theater, the number of songs in the dance position has always been the most important criterion to see how hard a member works, and some people like Ami Sato can dance all the songs and all positions of all the songs in about six or seven performances, which is already absolutely legendary.

With such a busy schedule, and the fact that most of the graduate students are students, it is difficult to guarantee class hours. It will be a lot of trouble to find a teacher or something, and there will be more investment.

In the later period, from Tokyo to Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, multiple sub-groups were parallel, which also made it difficult to form a school, so it was impossible to have a school for each of the four sub-groups, right?

Although Zhou Xiao is very clear about this, he knows that if he considers this at the beginning and then does not do it, it may be more difficult to do it later, although AKB was established in 2oo5. But even he may not be able to make the group popular immediately after it is established, and the pain of working hard in the past few years is AKB's wealth and the source of AKB's pain.

So, either don't do it, do it, do it in the first place!

The establishment of AKB has gradually become the focus of Zhou Xiao's work, but this does not mean that Zhou Xiao will not do other work, in the middle of 2oo4. The second issue of "Terracehou" continued the previous 4.o% late-night ratings, and the second issue got a relatively high of 4.6% to clean up all TV stations, and Fuji TV has even begun to study with Toyota to advance the time to 11 o'clock.

In addition to "Terracehou Color", "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko", which was originally not suitable for promoting the show together, has finally begun to be intensively promoted.

The editing of "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" has been basically completed. Zhou Xiao has already sent carefully edited trailers to major TV stations, and the broadcast date of November 12 has also been determined early. This schedule is also normal, otherwise whether it is placed in the summer file or the Christmas and New Year file, there will be an awkward feeling for everyone. Such a schedule is also one of the reasons why tragedies often do not do well at the box office.

The outside world also has high expectations for Zhou Xiao's new work, judging from the picture released today, Zhou Xiao's shooting style seems to be very bright, especially a trailer is cut out of Zhou Xiao's bad taste, the whole trailer looks very happy and bright, in Miki Nakatani's statement full of happiness, the picture is playing Matsuko's life of constantly repeating hope and disappointment, of course, in this clip, there is only the hope part, beautiful scenery, bright painting style, and Matsuko, who is immersed in joy and happiness, after the whole trailer is broadcast, it seems that Zhou Xiao is shooting a complete healing film.

Of course, Zhou Xiao can't deceive people, so at the end of the trailer, Zhou Xiao still left a twist, when the trailer of more than a minute, after traversing the happy and happy life of Matsuko, Miki Nakatani's last sentence said: "I am real, I have really experienced it...... Such a beautiful life. ”

And what comes along with this sentence is a frontal close-up of Miki Nakatani's middle-aged widowhood who has become a woman like a garbage heap.

That fat outrageously dirty woman, who looks like she hasn't taken a shower for more than ten years, with messy shapes and clothes, is really the woman who has experienced so much happiness in the first half of her life and is also very beautiful? If it was really her, what kind of ups and downs and tragedies had she experienced in her life!?

Almost everyone who has seen the trailer can't help but think so.

The people who saw this movie before the ordinary audience, of course, were the film critics and related people who were invited, and among them, even included film and television company personnel from other countries in Southeast Asia, although Zhou Xiao is used to activities in Japan, his fame is no longer something that Japan can accommodate, and more and more people know him in various countries in Southeast Asia, some people because of his songs, some people because of his movies, and even regions like Taiwan that have broadcast Japanese variety shows for many years, There are many people who know him through variety shows.

Speaking of which, Zhou Xiao's popularity in Taiwan is not ordinary, as a Chinese, although some people will think that Zhou Xiao is a big 6 in the past and not in the same place as themselves, but after all, they are of the same culture and the same species, for the vast majority of people, Zhou Xiao is naturally more like his own compatriots and the same race.

Such Zhou Xiao actually accumulated a lot of popularity in Taiwan at the beginning of his debut, and many people in the entertainment industry who were too late also admired him, even Jay Chou, a new king who has become famous in recent years, also admires Zhou Xiao quite a lot, and his admiration can be regarded as Zhou Xiao's unintentional, who let Zhou Xiao plagiarize two music that originally belonged to Jay Chou when he first debuted, which will naturally make him feel that Zhou Xiao's music is very similar to his own and resonates.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Xiao's busy various things in recent years, especially the preparation of AKB, he would have performed very little in Japan, as long as he managed it a little, his popularity in Taiwan might be even higher than now, and compared with other Japanese stars, he has an innate advantage at least in language.
