A handshake would be a great thing, especially for AKB, which was originally labeled as an "idol to meet", and a handshake would be a good way to implement that.

AKB, which has been established for nearly two years, has not held a handshake party before, and unlike the handshake party known by AKB meals after 2010, the AKB handshake at the beginning of its establishment will be a free welfare giveaway in the eyes of future generations, with almost no duration, and it is only possible to enjoy the handshake party for as long as you want to talk about for as long as you want.

However, when a new single is released and the handshake is normalized, this is relatively rare.

After Zhou Xiao introduced the handshake meeting system he "designed" to Qiu Yuankang, Qiu Yuankang didn't say anything for a long time. The handshake meeting system of AKB in later generations was also explored from shaking hands again and again, but what Zhou Xiao directly gave was a complete set of mature and complete handshake meeting system, and the gap during this period is not the same.

After the release of the new single, AKB will start to run two handshake meeting systems, one is called the national handshake meeting and the other is called the individual handshake meeting, of which the national handshake will be obtained by purchasing the usual plate, which is usually sold through guò normal channels, and the single disc is no different from the ordinary singer CD, and the individual handshake will be obtained by purchasing the theater plate, the theater plate is relatively simple compared to the usual plate design, the price is relatively low, and it is possible to apply for the lottery to get it. It can be said that the vast majority of the meaning of saving zài is in the handshake ticket.

The handshake time of the national handshake meeting is only a few seconds each time, and the attendees are basically the celebrities of the selection group, but the victory is that you can participate in it if you buy a CD, and you don't need to apply for the theatrical version, so it can be regarded as an event that is specially attended by ordinary floating meals.

The personal handshake meeting in the theater is better because the handshake time is relatively long, and it is a big event that almost all members will participate in, making full use of the so-called long tail effect, although a few members who are good at shaking hands can still attract a lot of meals to shake hands. But the rest of the rest of the people's meals together are a lot of money.

As for Zhou Xiao's ideal of various AKB activities, you can use these two handshake coupons at the same time, although the handshake will end within a few months after the release of the single, but the use time of the handshake ticket lasts for about a year, during this year, the rice can use the handshake coupon to redeem huàn and AKB members' activities, and occasionally you can also redeem huàn some limited peripherals, but the latter option can get very little rice, because the latter can't do more, otherwise this handshake coupon will become a consumable.

In the days to come. It was these two handshakes that made AKB the strongest national women's group in history.

Two days after the theater announced the handshake event, AKB's theater application website was launched thanks to the efforts of the AZX Network Department.

Zhou Xiao simply didn't have any channels for phone application, the Internet is the best way to end other channels, and it is also the most convenient way, plus the floating rice also has its own purchase channels, so there is almost no room for them to buy theater plates.

It only took a week to set up the theater application website, and all the AKB staff who knew the inside story went crazy.

The sales of AKB's last two singles are very low. Basically, after four or five weeks on the list, sales in the early 20,000s will be off the list.

But this time, the application for the theater plate got more than 16,000 applications in two days, what does this mean? This means that even if everyone applies the most three times, there are already 5,000 rice applications for theater plates!

It also means that even if it hasn't gone on sale yet, AKB's new single has already sold 16,000! That's already equal to the first week of sales of AKB's normal singles. And this is just the number of theatrical applications on the Internet, and it is expected that when the official release is awaited, the new single will still get at least 10,000 sales in the first week. This adds up to 30,000 sales, and the cooperation with Jingle should be started soon after seeing 30,000 sales.

Qiu Yuanyasu, who saw such a significant increase in sales, also nodded again and again, Zhou Xiao's move was really immediate, the sales of the entire group went up immediately, the sales went up, the money earned by tens of thousands of CDs was actually a drop in the bucket, the key is the increase in attention, ordinary people in the outside world will not know what theater sales are usually tired, they will only see the increase in AKB sales.

Of course, the CD was sold, and preparations for the handshake party had to be made at the same time, and the first thing to be decided was the location of the personal handshake party.

Today's AKB does not have the ability to hold a handshake party in the Super Stadium, so the people of AZX selected a more remote citizen gymnasium in Tokyo after selection, the infield of this gymnasium can accommodate about three or four thousand people at the same time, this number AZX has been basically satisfied, AKB's theater sales, according to the current trend, can accumulate about 30,000 before the single is released, and if it is a three-person application, it is about 10,000 applicants. The handshake will last for two days, with an average of 5,000 people a day, and according to the company's estimates, it is impossible to use every 30,000 theater plates sold, so the stadium space for 4,000 people is very sufficient.

In addition, the difference in the previous life is that the number of people selected for AKB's upcoming single has also changed a lot.

The original number of selections for the single Sunset was only ten people, 5 people in group A, 4 people in group K, and a Watanabe Mayu in group B, when he arrived at Zhou Xiao, he originally had no idea of increasing the number of people, but after increasing the handshake meeting, the number of people in the selection group should be increased accordingly, because the main participants of the national handshake will be these people in the selection group, if there are only ten people, even if the handshake tickets of the national handshake will only sell about 10,000 tickets, even if each person only holds seven or eight hundred people, That's a lot now.

In fact, when AKB is the most popular in the future, Oshima and Kashiwagi, the two original fishing gods of AKB, are no problem holding 2,000 people a day, but not now, now the handshake will just start, it is the time for girls to learn and get used to these things, and suddenly let them hold thousands of people a day, which is too devastating for the girls' spirits.

What's more, the popularity among the members cannot be even, Zhou Xiao has already prepared a few members to receive more than 2,000 people when the national handshake party is held, and there are other members who are more free most of the day.

It is not only Zhou Xiao who is so conscious, but also the members of the selection team. In the selection group, the popularity of Maeda Oshima and others must be relatively high, but the popularity of members like Tomomi Kawanishi and Elena Ono should be relatively low, of course, this is also compared to several high-ranking members.

As for the popularity of the two group B girls who entered the selection of this single, Mayu Airi is still a mystery, after all, the two girls have been in AKB for less than a year, and if it is a later life, the girls who have entered AKB for about a year will not have the possibility of entering the general election ranking no matter how much they are forced, which has been proven by both Komune Kaoru and Owada Minami. So Zhou Xiao didn't dare to have any guarantees about the popularity of these two girls.

For the preparation of the handshake party, in addition to the venue, the invitation to the staff is also very important, there are a large number of temporary staff who need to be added to the sequence, and the later Akimoto Yasu, even for the security work of the AKB handshake party, specially made an ojs48 out, the only team composed of men in the 48 team are all retired police officers from Japan. These people are responsible for the vast majority of the AKB's handshake security.

In addition to these, there are also some staff who were not introduced at the beginning of the establishment, and Zhou Xiao also mentioned them in one step.

For example, there are special disinfection tools to spray disinfectant for everyone who participates in the handshake meeting. A staff member who prevents the other party from shaking hands with members with hands that are stained with bodily fluids that do not know which organ comes out.

Although it was only AKB's first regular handshake meeting in 2007, Zhou Xiao must make sure that the current handshake meeting can look like the handshake meeting that has formed a standard in later generations, and for this reason, even if he invests millions or tens of millions.

Another quietly started work. It is for the recording of the participation of the members of the handshake party.

This work ...... In fact, it is Zhou Xiao's little selfishness and bad taste.

In her previous life, Yuko Oshima once said that she wanted to apply for the Guinness World Record for "the person with the most handshakes in the world", and this record should really be applied for by her. In AKB,There have been popular members since the beginning of its establishment.,In addition to Maeda, it's Oshima.,And unlike Maeda's slightly "salty" personal attributes, Oshima's handshake will correspond to it's not much worse than Kashiwagi.,The reason why Kashiwagi is the so-called "God of Fishing" and she's not,It's more because she doesn't need this kind of personal role anymore and Kashiwagi needs it more.。

Therefore, from the time the group began to arrange the handshake meeting normally, until Oshima left AKB, for such a long time, whether it was a national handshake meeting or an individual handshake meeting, there were very, very many attendances, and at the same time, Yuko Oshima, who was almost the owner of the longest queue every time, was undoubtedly the person who shook hands the most in this group.

But this idea did not come true in the end, and Zhou Xiao estimated that the reason why it was not realized was most likely because although she held so many people, there was no substantial evidence to prove that she had a lot to do with holding so many people.

So, secretly, one of Zhou Xiao's plans began to be implemented, this plan is very simple, each AKB member will have their own video data to record all the handshakes they participated in, everyone they have shaken, this is a big project and a big investment, but Zhou Xiao's requirements are not high, although the video of this handshake will be retained, it does not have a high resolution and definition, if you really want to watch it, at most you can distinguish who the participants are, After the highest rate of compression, such information will be saved in the AZX network department, as a proof of applying for Guinness World Records in the future, or a memorial for the members, or even as a proof that there are any problems in the handshake meeting.

However, Zhou Xiao didn't tell the members about this kind of thing, because even if he did, the members wouldn't feel anything special, and instead of telling them, it was better to invite them to eat something delicious.

Time flies quickly, and finally at the end of October, the sunset single is on sale.

Zhou Xiao, Yasu Akimoto, and even the people of Kyoraku in Nagoya all saw the long-awaited sales figures on the first-day charts of ORICON.

36,000 sheets! This number has taken everyone outside of AZX by surprise, as it is nearly double the sales of AKB's last single to date!

What is the reason for AKB's sales to jump so much all of a sudden?

Those who quietly dug quickly learned the answer, of the 36,000 CDs sold, 28,000 were so-called theatrical plates, and all that was placed in this theater plate were two songs and a personal handshake ticket, and the rest was money. This is the usual plate sales contributed by AKB's regular rice.

After a closer study, everyone found that the 28,000 theater plates are also watery, because a person can apply for at least three tickets, and the 28,000 theater plates are equivalent to about 10,000 applications.

The so-called AKB rice of 10,000, plus 8,000 floats, AKB's real first-day sales are probably less than 18,000.

This was calculated without counting the fact that AKB Rice applied for a theater plate and purchased the regular plate at the same time.

It can be said that the real popularity of AKB has not increased much. It was the so-called handshake plug-in that made their sales look doubled.

After selling 36,000 copies on the first day, the next day, AKB's new single sales quickly dropped to the early 500s, and then on the third day, it was 3,000, and a week later, AKB's new single sales stopped at 51,000, which is already a pretty good number.

And in this one of the calculation cycles of the ORICON list. AKB's first handshake was also held.

In the first standardized one-handed game, Zhou Xiao will inevitably attend no matter how busy he is, not only attending, but he even shows up. appeared at the handshake meeting, helping to arrange various tasks like an ordinary staff, and he even stood at the entrance to the handshake venue to help evacuate traffic!

Zhou Xiao did this work for a few minutes and had to retreat because he had been standing at the door for a few minutes. There were not many people entering the gymnasium to shake hands, but there were more and more people around him, and it went on like this. Not to mention evacuating traffic, he himself became a source of traffic jams.

But after doing so, Zhou Xiao's sincerity was indeed expressed, in the next admission process, whether it was rice or the staff's table Xiàn was very good, the meals were very regular, and the staff were also very hard-working, you know, the current Japan is no longer the so-called tens of thousands of people coming to tens of thousands of people many years ago, and the huge stadium did not leave even a piece of paper in the terrible nation, after the fireworks show, the ground was in a mess, and the teenagers and girls in the subway were making loud noises This kind of thing is not uncommon in Japan now, can maintain the order of the venue so well, Zhou Xiao's appearance for a few minutes will still help to a certain extent.

After helping in front for a few minutes, Zhou Xiao was not idle after returning to the backstage, helping here and there, he didn't do much when he came and went, but he was tired enough to choke the driver and bodyguard behind him, this driver and bodyguard didn't understand why Zhou Xiao was so energetic when he was doing this kind of thing, and he didn't look tired at all.

After preparing for a while, the handshake meeting finally began, and Zhou Xiao climbed to the top of the stands alone and recorded the first personal handshake meeting of AKB with his camera.

And Zhou Xiao, who was in a high place, also saw the queue situation of the members clearly.

In the two-day handshake meeting, most of the popular members will hold all the time, and according to the calculation method of later generations, the members will hold seven parts a day, which is about seven hours, also known as seven, that is, in two days, the popular members will hold fourteen parts, while other members have two days and eight parts, some two days and ten parts, and twelve parts, and even most of the members of the fourth and fifth students who are still graduate students will also attend the handshake meeting, but their handshake time is shorter, generally only about four to six parts in two days.

Among the members, Yuko Oshima and Atsuko Maeda are undoubtedly the longest, in addition, Yumi Itano and Mariko Shinoda and Mai Oshima are also very long, these three girls are very special, they are all beautiful, if you really put down your body like now, the temptation for otaku is great, these three people, especially Itano Yumi, gradually declined in popularity, and the route they took gradually broke away from the otaku group also has a certain relationship.

However, these three are not the most popular people after Oshima and Maeda, and Mita Yurika, who was not in the AKB in her previous life, is now the third most popular member of AKB.

This is also understandable, Mita Yurika is now an adult, she is a college student, she doesn't know why it's quite comfortable to be an idol, and her attitude towards otaku is better than that of Itano and the other three, plus her slightly shaky M character, Zhou Xiao estimates that if this person has been in AKB and doesn't leave, it is possible to threaten Maeda Oshima and the two in a year or two.

In addition to paying attention to these people, Zhou Xiao turned his attention to the other side of the stadium, over there, the members of Group B were also shaking hands, what about the handshake between Mayou and Airi?

It's okay not to watch it, this time, Zhou Xiao regretted it a little, Mayou Airi and the two opened twelve for two days, that is, six per day, judging from their queue, there were not many people who came to shake hands with them, which was six per day...... It's a bit hard......

"Their popularity...... It doesn't seem to be enough now......" Zhou Xiao thought with some regret. (To be continued......)
