For most people in the company, as long as they have been in the company for a little longer, they have basically heard similar remarks from Zhou Xiao on various occasions, and occasionally one or two are relatively slow to react, and they will almost be looked at with contempt by others.

Idol group or something,It's almost the most important preparation for Zhou Xiao in the past few years,In the past four years,Including Uncle Inoue,The people who can persuade the company have long been persuaded,In the eyes of most people in the company,At this time, there is no difference between engaging in idols and looking for death,CD sales have been declining,The idol industry has been ruined for many years,The remaining small and outrageous market is still occupied by the Good Morning Girl Group,Finding a partner turned out to be "ruining the entire idol culture" (in fact, idol culture was almost over by that time, and the degradation and destruction of the kitten club was just the last straw that crushed idol culture), which was simply a model of trick death.

But the most important reason for the company's support for Zhou Xiao is Zhou Xiao's sincerity, from ten years later, AKB is Zhou Xiao's biggest and only obsession, like Uncle Inoue, from the beginning of working with Zhou Xiao, he has accepted Zhou Xiao's various preparations for idol groups, which makes Uncle Inoue admire Zhou Xiao from nervous to cautious, and now he has become extremely admired, just like what he said.

"I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen you like this, because I want to make a thing, for such a thing, spend five years to endure and prepare, if it's just like this, it's okay, in these five years, you really have earned such a big company and so many great results, although I don't want to admit it, but this does make me look forward to it very much. I'm looking forward to what kind of things you can make if you become an idol if you do so many great things. ”

"I will be an idol group of several hundred people, and this group will generate more than 200 billion yen in a year, and not only that, but I will do even more, I want all the girl groups in Japan to sign the name of AZX, and I want Japan's top actresses and singers to become supernumerary members of this group!" Zhou Xiao said to Uncle Inoue half-seriously and half-jokingly.

And in the face of Zhou Xiao's words that were both true and false, the uncle could only shake his head and didn't dare to reply, intellectually he certainly didn't believe Zhou Xiao's words. But God knows what Zhou Xiao will do in the end......

Shinobu Chino is a very familiar name to AKB fans, this chubby girl has been responsible for the group's clothing production since the group's inception, and under her hands, countless very classic clothes have also been produced.

After 2o1O, Koninja's clothes may even have a trend-setting effect, such as the famous red plaid skirt of the song "Maybe It's an Excuse" ("言い訳maybe", which is often translated as unpleasant), and after that, red plaid has almost become synonymous with AKB, and even the entire Japanese fashion industry has been affected. During that time, a lot of similar trends were born.

Shinobu Nago's help to AKB is not just in clothes, she is also a staff member who is very popular with AKB members, she is not beautiful and is not a member, so there will be no competition. The personality is also very good.,Make beautiful clothes that almost all girls dream of.,Such a staff member.,Almost the best communication and lubricant in the entire AKB team.。

Such a little forbearance. The members like it, the operation likes it, and even AKB's meals like her. In 2o14, when the Great Formation Pavilion Festival was held, she replaced Togasaki and became the head of the entire team, a role that ...... It may not have a lot of power in operation, but it can at least prove its importance and popularity.

In addition to Shinobu Ninnobu, Zhou Xiao also found Kyoko Nishiyama.

This woman, who was called Monkey Grandma by AKB in the future, was in charge of AKB's propaganda work, and this job was originally to deal with various TV stations, and it could be regarded as a face-shower's job, so Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue casually searched, and they had already found this monkey grandma who is now doing similar work at a local TV station.

After Uncle Inoue invited Grandma Monkey, the other party did not give an answer immediately, now she has a very stable job, and she doesn't seem to have moved, especially the plan to go to Beijing to do such a hard job, Zhou Xiao is not in a hurry to recruit her immediately, there is enough time, since she will enter Beijing in the future, if Zhou Xiao wants to come, there must still be a tendency to come here.

The addition of Chino Shinobu represents the beginning of the construction of AKB's core, among AKB's staff, it can be recruited now, in addition to Chino Shinobu's clothes, various music and training teachers, Zhou Xiao has gradually begun to look for candidates, even if these people are recruited into AKB now, it is okay to teach other people in the company, of course, it will be very luxurious to teach these people, such as ange1aaki and even music teachers to teach her alone, This kind of one-on-one teaching is extravagant that even large companies such as Xingchen can't do.

However, there is still a year before AKB starts recruiting, and a question that Zhou Xiao is now beginning to consider is, is AKB the only way to recruit AZX candidates in the future?

In the Japanese entertainment industry, the way for those big companies to recruit people is not only for scouts to wander around the streets to recruit people, but the main way for large companies to recruit people is the draft.

For example, HO Day Pro's "HTSC" is a very famous draft, and there are many drafts like this in Japan, and Zhou Xiao gradually felt that AZX should also hold a draft like this.

The reason why AZX did not hold such an event in previous years was because the company's influence was too small at that time, a new company that had just been established and had all kinds of software and hardware facilities was not complete, and it was okay to find people by itself, and if you used the draft to recruit people, it was likely that you would not be able to gather enough people to participate in the draft.

On the one hand, the company's various hardware facilities and software teachers and staff are neatly organized, on the other hand, Zhou Xiao also wants to build such a draft training system, because he knows that among the artists who debuted after 2oo5, there are many debuts that are difficult for him to encounter without draft activities. For example, Ruriko Kojima selected by Ho Day Pro "HTSC", and then for example, Kana Nishino, who stood out from 40,000 people in the 2oo5 Sony draft, especially Kana Nishino, this girl uses a stage name, plus it is a draft that she directly participates in, if it does not rely on the draft, the possibility of Zhou Xiao wanting to see her signed in advance is almost zero.

But there are also draft problems, and the biggest problem is how to distinguish between AZX's draft and AKB's draft in the future, and it is obviously very inappropriate for one company to hold two drafts. Even if there is a big difference between AKB and non-AKB candidates, it is easy to worry.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xiao finally made a decision, he announced in AZX's own meeting that in the future, AKZ will concentrate on the idol system Zuò and AZX will act as the packaging system for singers, actors and artists in addition to idols, and next year, AZX will take the lead in the draft, and in the second half of 2oo5, AKZ will be established. The difference between the two drafts is that AZX's draft does not focus on the attributes of artists, whether they are singers. Actors, even funny artists and even models, as long as they feel that a certain trait in their body is suitable for the entertainment industry, they can apply to AZX, and AKZ's draft. It focuses on selecting girls with idol traits to enter the AKB of the future.

In addition to the draft, Zhou Xiao also took this opportunity to carry out a small reshuffle of AZX. Originally, AZX was a completely integrated company, with only regular business departments and no artist grouping department, and this time Zhou Xiao also made modifications.

AZX's new artist group is generally divided into three departments, the music department, the drama department and the variety show department, of which the music department includes singers and pure music groups, such as the head of the biological unit, ange1aki, or1dorder, which has been tepid for many years, and the women's twelve orchestra.

The drama department includes Maki Horikita, Yui Aragaki, and Nao Matsushita, who has just signed into the company.

As for the variety show department, there are only a few ordinary artists in the mixed theater who were brought over by Uncle Inoue for the time being, most of these funny artists lack talent, and that's it for a lifetime, most of them are artists who were mixed with Uncle Inoue like Zhou Xiao before, and now giving them a fixed artist contract is a great help to them.

As for Zhou Xiao, he doesn't belong to any department, not only because he is the boss of the company, but also because he really can't define which department he should belong to.

After the three departments are divided, the various vocal and acting teachers hired by the company have also been appointed and enriched, these people will train the good seedlings selected by the company, and even the company artists who have debuted will not relax the management of their acting and singing courses, especially Aragaki Horikita, who is still just a little girl even if she debuts for a long time, the company has not relaxed the training of their acting skills, which makes the acting skills of girls like Kohori North have greatly improved from Zhou Xiao's previous life, of course, The investment on AZX's side is also much higher.

After bringing Chino Shinobu back to the company, the crew construction of "Symphonic Lover's Dream" has basically been completed, and the actors have continued to join the group 6, and the filming of the TV series can be said to be on the way.

In the second half of 2oo4, Zhou Xiao was going to shoot the ninth of the month, so the construction of AKB Yasuya Akimoto also made a lot of preparations.

AKB in the previous life was a three-person system, among which Akimoto Yasu was the most important controller, if he also crossed over, he would definitely not be very accustomed to changing from a controller to a substantive deputy of Zhou Xiao.

But there is also a reality that if Qiu Yuankang is chosen, he is likely to choose to cooperate with Zhou Xiao instead of the other two, first, although he is said to be Zhou Xiao's deputy here, Zhou Xiao has shown high personal ability in recent years, even Qiu Yuankang must admit that he may not be higher than Zhou Xiao in terms of ability, how can such Zhou Xiao be better than those two pure businessmen. And Zhou Xiao is also very trustworthy to Qiu Yuankang, when AKZ was built, Zhou Xiao made it very clear to the people in the company at that time, outside of him, Qiu Yuankang is the company's second person, when he is not there, Qiu Yuankang has great authority, and Qiu Yuankang has absolute right to speak in the direction and route of the combination.

As for the most satisfying thing for Akimoto Yasu, it is Zhou Xiao's emphasis on future idol groups, originally in his thoughts, 2o billion to 3 billion yen is enough to build an idol group, these money can not only build an idol group, but also build a performance theater in the downtown of Tokyo as Zhou Xiao thought. That's a lot of investment.

But Zhou Xiao didn't seem to be satisfied, he took out 5 billion at once, in addition to the regular operation of 3 billion, there were 2 billion that were used to make idol girl group schools! This...... It's just not money.

He knows that Zhou Xiao has made a lot of money in recent years, but he has never seen such a big money as now, artists are a very unstable profession, and most artists' first reaction after making money is to hurry up and make savings while they can, Zhou Xiao has made a lot of money in recent years, yes, this makes him technically a businessman, but is there such a businessman? What businessmen value the most. Isn't that the return on investment? Idol or something, Yasu Akimoto knows too well, this line of work is actually a very adventurous profession, like the kitten club, the Good Morning Girl Group or something is very successful, but if you just look at the success of these two groups and don't look at how many corpses of idol groups are under these two groups, it can only be said that this person does not understand the Japanese idol circle at all.

It can be said that the more you understand this circle, the more likely you are to become cautious, and the more cautious people are, the more they have to care about the return on investment. You invest such a lot of money, what if the group is not popular? The establishment of an idol group, every activity costs money, and a lot of money is thrown down. How long can you hold out? Half? A year? Two years? And if it hasn't improved after three years? Can you still stay up like this? Can you still lose 18 million every month?

Such a question, when Qiu Yuankang asked it, Zhou Xiao said that he was ready to persist until at least 2o1o years, but looking at the confident look of the boy in his early 2o years in front of him. One sentence that Akimoto couldn't bear to ask was, can you really hold on for that long?

Qiu Yuankang didn't know what Zhou Xiao had experienced, and he didn't know that Zhou Xiao had said it in his heart countless times. Even you can hold on for that long, and I'm not short of money now, why can't I keep going?

It can be said that Zhou Xiao is a very correct choice to pull Qiu Yuankang, this is a very proud man, but also a very persistent man, his life is very successful, he has done a lot of things, whether it is in the TV circle or the music industry, he has achieved results that few people can catch up. But his life was not without mistakes, and the kitten club only lasted for about two years back then, which was the most nostalgic thing in his heart.

So Yasu Akimoto will definitely be an idol group, even if Zhou Xiao doesn't appear, AKB will be established by him, and he has gone so hard, AKB this group, the hardest thing is not when there were only seven audiences when it was first established, but after a period of time, it fell into the dilemma of not being able to sell CDs, and when the contract was terminated with the old owner of the music industry, Sony, AKB at that time was really in a state of poverty, but even so, Yasu Akimoto still did not give up, is still persistently looking for opportunities to help him succeed, this persistence is awe-inspiring, and at the same time, I have to admit that his success is not accidental at all.

Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang are preparing for AKB's work together, in addition to this work, the two have other things to be busy with, such as Qiu Yuanyasu's previous novel "The Back of the Elephant" under Zhou Xiao's prompt was published, not just a novel, this book is actually not long, and the news of the movie and animation adaptation soon spread.

As for Zhou Xiao, he is even busier, outside of the ninth day of the new month, the release of the movie "The Life of the Disgusted Pine Nut" in East Asia has been basically finalized, the release time of this movie in Japan is early October, according to the norm, the release time of this not very important blockbuster foreign film will be delayed for one or two months, but the problem is that if this drama is delayed for one or two months, it will be close to the New Year's file, and there is no schedule left for this drama at that time, and AZX will not ask for the New Year's file, so after negotiations, East Asian countries simply put the reaction time in early October or mid-October, when there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, just to put this kind of tragedy.

Zhou Xiao has already decided, after the movie is released on the ninth day of the month, 2oo4 should also be approaching the end of the year, and when it enters the O5 year, in addition to the draft in the first half of the year, the only thing left is AKB, as for the shooting of TV series and movies, even if it is done, it will not start until AKB's work is on the right track, AKB is the focus of his work, and many things have to give way, yes, but the shooting of TV series and movies is also something he likes, these two jobs, after being busy with AKB, will be picked up anew, He will not completely leave the front line and become a person similar to Akimoto Yasu.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, there are many works that he likes very much waiting for him, and he also has to rely on these things to ensure his influence in the entertainment industry. (To be continued......)
