Chapter 626: The Girls of March
In the early morning of March 11, Zhou Xiao, who had returned to China, sent out his first tweet: "Before returning to China, I was filming a documentary about the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in Sichuan, China. ”
Then soon, the second tweet came out: "We have just contacted the last member, this earthquake, including Iwata Hanori, who is living in his hometown in Tohoku, all the members were not harmed and very safe, and now the company has sent a helicopter, in addition to accepting government tasks, the plane will send the members to a safe place as soon as possible." ”
Then there is the third article: "After discussions with everyone in the company, we at AZX have decided to donate 1 billion yen in advance for earthquake relief, and of this billion yen, AZX will contribute 500 million yen, and I will contribute 500 million yen myself." But that's not the end of it, and we'll have more donations to come. ”
Finally, there was a slightly longer tweet: "When I was a child, I always felt that artists, as rich people, just donate money and shut up at this time, but more than a month of Sichuan travel has made me understand a lot of things, at this time, in fact, artists can do more, we can take on more things, our identity, can make more people pay attention to this matter, and it can also make it easier for people to get out of the predicament after the earthquake, so, after the situation stabilizes, AKB members and I would go to the earthquake to participate in reconstruction and charity activities. ”
Zhou Xiao's history of AKB's disaster area activities lasted for a long time, from May 2011 to 2014, until the month when he traveled, AKB's disaster area activities continued.
In the first few months, there were indeed a lot of attacks on the Internet, and some Japanese people felt that the AKB's frequent performances in the disaster areas were nothing more than propaganda in disguise, and had no other effect than to cause trouble to the people in the disaster areas.
But...... One month and two months. What about a year or two? What about four or five years? The charity performance for more than five years has been very helpful and influential to the disaster area.
A large part of these influences are actually invisible, the sunny and gentle smiling faces of the girls have greatly warmed the hearts of the people in the disaster area, Zhou Xiao dare not say that this kind of disaster relief charity performance really made anyone come out of the autism and shadow pain of the earthquake, but there is no doubt that the girls did play a certain role in mending the wounds in the soul.
There are two things that touched Zhou Xiao the most, one is that the children in the disaster area later built a model of the city with many AKB members, and the other is the attack.
In the aftermath of the attack, a resident of Iwate said, "AKB has been visiting the disaster area since the disaster, and it has brought us healing and warmth. As the people of the disaster area, we have not been able to repay the AKB girls for the work they have done for us over the years. It's very sad that this happened in Iwate, and now it's time for us to protect the AKB. ”
The people in the Tohoku disaster area are not unthankful, and the phrase "It's time for us to protect AKB" is the best reward for AKB's persistence in disaster relief performances over the past few years.
In the face of a sudden and violent earthquake, the whole of Japan was in a state of panic, and it was unknown how many people were separated from each other by life.
The performance was stopped, and so was the concert. The originally busy AKB members suddenly became idle, in fact, not only AKB, but most of the activities in the entertainment industry stopped during this time, and most of the artists had their only jobs during this time. I'm afraid it's all kinds of disaster relief performances.
As artists, it is undoubtedly a waste to be so idle, but for a while, they really have no chance to appear on the camera. However, there are also advantages to being idle, and during this time, various training courses of AZX are running again.
Vocality. Acting, voice actor, variety show, model...... Zhou Xiao simply called the girls of AKB, SKY and NMB to Tokyo during this time, and used this time to deepen their abilities.
Even, for the purpose of strengthening the bonds of the members instead of saving money, Zhou Xiao simply arranged the members to sleep together in a large gymnasium at night!
More than 100 girls slept together on the floor in a gymnasium-like field...... It was a spectacular scene.
It's a pity that the male members of the operation team, including Zhou Xiao, can't get close to the girls' super large dormitory, and the staff told the girls at the beginning that there will be no cameras and superfluous people entering tonight's operation, so everyone can rest assured and relax.
But...... There are still holes in some things......
The operation itself doesn't bring any cameras into the operation, but the girls themselves have mobile phones......
Thereupon...... On this night, about half a month after the 311 earthquake, AKB exploded on social media.
The girls have uploaded the spectacle of nearly two hundred people sleeping together in the huge gymnasium, of course, saying that they are sleeping together, but in fact, at least in the three or four hours after entering the gymnasium, no girl can sleep, even the staff outside can hear the loud noise in the gymnasium, this group of girls...... It's high.
Also on the rise are a lot of videos uploaded by the girls.
Have you ever seen a super pillow battle with nearly 200 people? Has Yuko in a state of madness met with Akimoto Caiga? The rabid dog kiss demon attribute has been turned on, and has Zhu Lina seen it everywhere?
In the videos uploaded by the girls on social media, the rice fans were pleasantly surprised to see a series of amazing girls' tables.
In the video uploaded by Ami Sato, the girl pointed her mobile phone at the power facilities at the scene, why did she pay attention to this? Because there are nearly 200 girls, everyone has a mobile phone, and the scene of almost everyone having to charge is simply amazing, in fact, the operation has thought of this, so the gymnasium is specially equipped with several sets of facilities that can provide dozens of people with mobile phone charging at the same time, but it is precisely because of this that the entire charging place looks so amazing, countless mobile phones, several jù lines and mixed together, which are also mixed with some charging cameras, iPods and the like, it looks so amazing.
Some of the girls turned their attention to the food.
The girls' dinner was in the gymnasium, and it was a good experience for nearly 200 people to eat together, but what was even more interesting was that some of the girls from the local group had an outing-like mentality after hearing about the purpose of their visit to Tokyo. I brought a lot of food to eat!
These girls who may be young and have not yet departed from their amateur concepts are more stylish, and it is already good to bring some local food, and even more exaggerated are some more simple girls, who simply bring snacks made by their mothers at home...... Some girls even brought snacks such as pickled cucumber and fried squid made by their mothers...... Such an environment is simply too happy for Atsuko Maeda and other foodies, relying on their predecessor status, the girl is going around and around. I didn't have to eat dinner at all, and I already filled my stomach.
The various videos uploaded by the girls have opened the eyes of the fans, and the operation side has also praised Zhou Xiao's idea a lot, this night's AKB is very interesting, although there are no official cameras, but relying on the girls' own mobile phone cameras, the fans can still get a glimpse of the girls' experience this night, which fully shows the harmonious relationship between the members now.
Zhou Xiao is also very interesting to watch the videos posted by the members on the Internet, take a look at the comments below. Many of the diners also expressed their envy, and some even said that they thought of the days when they were in high school, and the days when they lived together in the club, such an experience. There is no doubt that it represents youth.
Of course, more rice eaters have left messages below to express their eagerness to be there at the scene, eager to sneak into the gymnasium, and some of them even uploaded all kinds of clues about the videos uploaded by the girls in Tongguò. Guess the location of the gymnasium where the members are......
Kindness...... This behavior of the rice is actually understandable, because even Zhou Xiao can't help but want to dive in and watch the small videos posted by the girls. He actually didn't say that he wanted to see the girls' spring scenes, let alone that kind of scene, even if it was a more exaggerated and seductive scene, Zhou Xiao hadn't seen it......
What really makes Zhou Xiao and everyone envious and curious is the things released by the girls in the process of playing happily together, maybe some people will say that this is very hypocritical, or some people will think that it is unreasonable for them to pay attention to this instead of paying attention to the spring.
But in Zhou Xiao's view, this kind of thing named youth that comes out of the girls' exchanges and collisions with each other is what the girls are really full of value in his eyes.
Of course, it would be better if there were some more hormones in youth......
Among the girls in AKB, not everyone doesn't know Zhou Xiao, at least Yuko Oshima knows his sullen nature very well, so when the girls posted their videos on social media, a series of videos that would never be put on any social media were sent to Zhou Xiao's mobile phone......
To sum up, these videos can basically be named series such as "Yuko Attacking Breasts", "Yuko Upskirt", "Kissing Demon Sneak Attack", "Girl Dressing Up" and "Springtime...... In fact, some of the videos on social media are also quite off-the-beaten, such as Jurina pulling Ono to kiss everywhere, which is quite evil, but ...... The version sent by Yuko is obviously more excessive.
For example, some girls obviously open their mouths when they kiss...... And, if you kiss it, why do you put your hands on your chest, adolescent boys, you......
After the earthquake, most of the performing arts activities were curtailed, and even the public performances began to be so-called power-saving performances, during which the activities of the members were also greatly reduced, and there were only three events that could be called important throughout March.
The first is that Atsuko Maeda's "Mom is an Idol" has passed half of the broadcast, the second is the preliminary round of Kaoru Mitsumune in the Kobe model competition, and the third is the first concert of Momoiro Clover.
The ratings of the drama "Mom is an Idol" can't be considered very good, and the final average figure of 13% can only be regarded as a very ordinary number in 2010, but the outside world's evaluation of this drama is not bad, and Maeda basically plays himself in the play, a national idol group ACE who likes to eat.
Compared to ratings and making money, this drama is more like an introduction to Maeda and AKB, a national group for Japanese drama viewers, and in addition to Maeda's performance, the film also adds a lot of girls' daily life and work status as idols.
In Zhou Xiao's opinion, what is really valuable is that halfway through the broadcast of this drama, a number of TV series invitations were sent to AZX, and the invitees were all Atsuko Maeda, and the girl's cousin is actually not comparable to those top actors now, but AKB's identity is a huge, much-anticipated signboard. With this blessing, Maeda can often get roles that even don't match her current abilities.
In Zhou Xiao's opinion, the rhythm of girls taking on one drama a year is the best, and the pressure in their hearts will be great if they take on more dramas, and it will be difficult for girls to have enough time to do idol work.
So since Maeda has already got a drama this year, the filming of the second drama in the future, Zhou Xiao seems to be the best at the same time next year, or at the end of this year.
As for the summer stalls. Although the summer file obviously attracts more attention, AKB itself also has a lot of activities in the summer, and girls may not have enough time to film.
Maeda's filming has not been determined for a while, but the champion of Guang Zongxun's model competition is really beyond the expectations of others except Zhou Xiao.
Kaoru Komune, who is now a ninth-term student, is a very special outlier in AKB.
She debuted with the ninth term students, and she participated in the least number of performances among the nine students, not only did she participate in fewer performances, but she also had the least training time, although she is still a complete junior in the current AKB. But she has always had a lot of foreign work from the moment she became AKB.
And if you ask her what all those foreign affairs are, the girl will answer that she has gone to class, a modeling course.
Why is it that as a female idol who has just entered the group for a short time, she has to take modeling courses frequently. Or even more classes than your idol work?
The voices of suspicion within the ninth phase of life have always been there.
Gradually, even the rice fans discovered that this girl named Guang Zongxun is a rare high-end and glamorous character in the AKB system. She participated in few performances, and she participated in handshakes and social media. In addition to the foreign movies that no one has seen recently, I often share paintings.
It's a real painting, not a painting, not a graffiti......
The girl's painting skills are the kind of Cheng dù who can participate in art exhibitions.
Such a girl, coupled with her outstanding appearance and short eye-catching hair, gradually there is a saying, the ninth phase of Shengguang Sookaoru, that is the ultimate weapon of AKB48, the strongest graduate student of high-end and cold, AKB's Kudo Shizuka......
Sounds lofty? In fact, Zhou Xiao knows very well that this kind of rumor is the most unconvincing, the otaku seem to be praising this girl, in fact, I really want to ask them if they push this type, most of the rice will push Yuki Kashiwagi, Miyuki Watanabe's type, and Kaoru Guangzong's type of girl is a typical type of applause.
Although there are all kinds of doubts outside, Guang Zongxun seems to be unmoved, and still works according to her own schedule, her confidence is very hurt in Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao has told her many times, your popularity in the group is not important, and we don't value this, what you have to care about now is the road of modeling, the road of modeling is good, you have been on enough magazines, and after becoming a regular model of the magazine for two or three years, we will transfer you to the industry of actresses, in the AKB system, You just have to make sure you're on the right track.
With Zhou Xiao's confession, the girl's activities in AKB are much easier, and more energy is put into her modeling work.
This effort has finally paid off after more than a year of silent hard work.
The championship of the Kobe Fashion Trend Festival, Zhou Xiao's previous life Guang Zongxun was obtained as an ordinary model, and the news caused was not very big, but now as an AKB member, the girl really detonated the news attention.
As expressed in the AKB documentary, Zhou Xiao hopes that AKB members can make enough progress in all aspects, and Kwangjong Kaoru became the first practitioner after the documentary shouted this sentence.
This award is too tall for AKB, what is AKB? They're idols! Different from those long-legged sisters in South Korea, Japan's so-called idols, most of the time they are synonymous with selling cuteness, for Japanese idols, height or something, less than one meter six, cute childish face, delicate voice is a common configuration.
But what about Kaoru Komun? 1.68 meters tall, cold appearance, cool short hair, and some of the style reviews in AKB...... This is a completely different genre from the traditional AKB! Such a girl...... Is it also considered an idol?
Guangzong Xun must be regarded as a survival that subverts people's perception of idols.
Winning this award in the case of the group is far more profound than Zhou Xiao's previous life.
Guang Zongxun did not participate in the whole process, in fact, Zhou Xiao did not participate in the whole process, at the end of March, his most important job was to participate in the first concert of peach clover.
More than four years ago, AKB started at the Japan Youth Center and held its first concert, and now Momoiro Clover is walking the same path as them, and the Japan Youth Center is also their first time on the stage.
The six girls, starting from the bottom, came here step by step, and their hardships during this period of grass creation were actually far more difficult than those of the AKB members at the same time. (To be continued......)
