Chapter 570: General Selection Reward
The happiest day of Yuko Oshima's life is probably also the darkest day of Atsuko Maeda's life.
Originally, the girl was still very happy, Zhou Xiao's brother chatted with her, and even arranged a Japanese drama and variety show with her as the protagonist, is there anything more happy in life than these?
But just a few hours later, she fell from heaven to hell.
Her self-confidence used to be high because of last year's victory, and because she has been active as a central figure in the team throughout the year, and when it comes to AKB, the first thing that comes to mind is always her and no one else.
But...... In this environment, what she finally got was a result that she couldn't accept.
She almost never thought about what she would do if she lost.
Because she thought it was impossible for her to lose, she stood at the front of everyone for several years, and from hating this feeling to getting used to and liking the center position, the girl almost forgot the days of standing behind people and singing.
From last night to now, Maeda, who has almost never slept at all, has dark circles under his eyes, hiding outside the circle of members, looking at the members who have gathered with some desolation, and is chatting about the members of yesterday's general election, especially Yuko Oshima, the girl shuttles among the members like a lively bird, this hit the chest, that touches the buttocks, etc., and looks very active.
"From now on...... She's number one...... And I'm ...... It can only be the last. The girl thought.
In fact, Maeda was purely overthinking. The AKB of the past gathered together, and Maeda was actually the one who hid on the side with some misfits, and Yuko harassed the other members in the past. It's only because of today's special that Maeda thinks more.
The gathered girls waited for a while, and Zhou Xiao finally came.
The members present are not all of AKB, but only the top 40 members of the general election and the graduate student members who will appear in the performance today, Zhou Xiao turned the microphone over by the staff and said: "Everyone is very busy with work, I originally thought that I wouldn't gather everyone, but Uncle Inoue said that it was better to talk, so I will gather everyone today." So I tried to finish what I wanted to say as quickly as possible. ”
"Originally, last year's senior members had a trip to praise after the general election. But this year, our group is in the most critical period, so we didn't bring it up because everyone is too busy, and it is unrealistic to pull all the upper members out for two or three days. But the reward or something, it will definitely not be missing you, although travel and rest can't give you, but we have arranged some other rewards. Zhou Xiao said.
Hearing Zhou Xiao say this, the girls looked left and right excitedly, they thought that there would be no rewards or something this year, but it turned out that it was of course the best to have it.
"Then the next prize that will be announced will be 40 first...... Yoga Katayama. Your prize is...... Next week, you'll get an invitation to a stage play! "Stage play!?" Yoka Katayama was surprised, she was still thinking about what kind of job it was. From last year to this year, the two stage plays "If Dura" and "AKB49" based on AKB have received very good reviews, and Yoka Katayama also played a very good role in it and showed his pretty good singing and dancing skills.
But after that, girls still lack the opportunity to express themselves more.
Unexpectedly, this time, Brother Zhou Xiao directly gave her a chance to play on stage. The appearance of this stage play may not be the protagonist, but for Katayama, who has been focusing on this aspect of work and singing. This is already a pretty good opportunity.
"Then there's the 39th place Yamauchi Lily of the Valley and you're going to get ...... A title TV show. Zhou Xiao said.
"Eh???" Not only the girl herself, but also the other members around her were also surprised, a title show, this thing...... Is it something that can be given casually? That's too much of a reward, isn't it? Even if you get the first member, it's enough to give a variety show!
Zhou Xiao explained: "This title program is a paid sports TV station and a variety show broadcast during the day, and the theme is ...... Golf. ”
With such an explanation, the girls understood that the paydesk was still broadcast during the day, and the audience of this show could not be too large, and the investment and exposure could not be too large, although this was still a very oversized reward for Yamauchi Lily of the Valley, but it was barely understandable.
"Also, Suzuran Yamauchi, your golf ability is not enough to complete this program and strive for higher goals, so before this program really starts, I will ask someone to do intensive training on your golf ability." Zhou Xiao added.
"Here are the 38 Fujie Reina......" Zhou Xiao announced one by one, the girls found that the rewards of this general election were different for everyone, in just one night, Zhou Xiao and the operation were able to prepare all the girls' rewards, you know, many of these rewards are not so easy to get, such as Katayama Yoka's stage play, first of all, you must have a connection with the stage and be ready, Yamauchi's variety show is also likely to be contacted all night, Doing so much for a 39-member is enough to see the operation and Zhou Xiao's intentions.
Each girl's rewards are different, but each girl's rewards are so suitable, good at singing and dancing, having the opportunity to appear in a stage play or live performance, having stunts, and getting the opportunity to show their abilities, most of these rewards are not very good opportunities such as solo song debut, prime-time variety shows, etc., but this is enough for the lower members, or rather, even if the operation gives them a great opportunity, they may not be able to seize it, and an opportunity like this is the best.
Each member has a reward, and each reward is a rare opportunity that everyone looks forward to.
And in the case of increasing popularity, the rewards are also getting better and better with the visible Cheng dù, to say that it is powerful, such as the 22nd Akimoto Caiga, the players of the previous life entered the selection group. It's a pity that I didn't enter this life, but there is still a super good, good opportunity to make the first two Maeda Oshima in the general election look sideways!
"I will recommend Chomoto to be added to the crew of Jackie Chan's new film." Zhou Xiao's words were actually quite bland. But it caused an exclamation from the members, and even Akimoto Caijia was scared stupid!
"Jackie Chan? Is that Jackie Chan?! The members asked.
"That's right, it's Jackie Chan in the family class." Zhou Xiao nodded.
"That's amazing! An international actress! Everyone who reacted congratulated Akimoto Caiga.
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you, practice hard, I can't challenge Michelle Yeoh or something." Zhou Xiao also encouraged.
"No, no, no, no, I can't!" Akimoto Caika was even already scared to tears.
"You can't? Then I'm going to be replaced!" Zhou Xiao said.
"No, no, no, no! No, no, no! Akimoto Caijia hurriedly denied it. It caused all the staff and members present to burst into laughter.
When it is announced that it is carried out within the selection group, the rewards are more abundant. The opportunities for members are also significantly greater.
Ami Sato and other new "corridor running teams" got the opportunity to debut in singles, and Li Chun got the opportunity to go to China with the "itteq until the end of the world" program team to do a travel group, this is a prime time and a whole series, Li Chun in Zhou Xiao's previous life may be difficult to do this show. The beautiful girl who sings and dances has little ability to keep up with this kind of artist with a good body, but the current Li Chun is much more powerful than Zhou Xiao in his previous life, especially the Wing Chun taught by the family class has never fallen, and his health is very good.
Further up, Ono Reina got the protagonist of a small-budget movie, and Zhou Xiao has always been more inclined to let the members have a direction of professional development, such as Maeda's acting with Yuko, Mai Oshima's variety show with Shinoda's model, Mayu Airi's singing and the like. Ono is a rare multi-directional artist in AKB, although his fame ability is not very high, but the attention and resources in the team are very high.
Jurina and Reina have been awarded a new advertising contract. Yona Kojima has a new photo album plan.,Mayu Airi's! A new single is coming soon......
Everyone has their own prizes, everyone has new expectations, and the rewards for the top four will be even greater, Mai Oshima will get a chance to star in "Golden Legend", which can be regarded as a long-lived prime-time variety show in Japan. Mai Oshima's appearance this time, Zhou Xiao was exchanged for a series of program scripts. In order to make Mai Oshima on "Golden Legend", Zhou Xiao can be regarded as hollowing out his mind.
Mai Oshima is the kind of type that will be more popular among men, but not very popular among women, before AKB became popular, this image didn't matter, but after AKB became popular, her image was a little inappropriate, especially when she might also be an important part of AKB's variety shows, so Zhou Xiao would think about arranging some variety shows to brush her favorability, and in the future, her appearance in "Golden Legend" is to star in one of the projects of 10,000 lives in a month, If this project is good, it can show the girl's root perseverance and gain a super high degree of friendship for the girl.
As for the question of whether she can hold on? This is not a problem, if an artist can't even stick to a plan that can bring him income, favorability, and even make him popular, what reason does the operation have to push her? For this kind of artist, it is better to quickly find a rich company executive to be a lover.
In addition, what Mai Oshima didn't know was that she also got a whole person plan, in general, "Golden Legend" and this whole person plan are things that Zhou Xiao used to test this girl, this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, there must be enough things to prove her serious efforts, Zhou Xiao dares to use her thoroughly.
Mai Oshima went up to Mariko Shinoda and got the opportunity to be a clothing brand spokesperson, this clothing brand is also used to cooperating with AZX, the spokesperson of a clothing brand is not the same as an advertisement, the former is a series of packaging and advertising contracts, and the latter is likely to be a hammer deal.
And then...... The last two people left were Maeda and Oshima.
"Brother Zhou Xiao, we ...... Forget it, right? Zhou Xiaogang wanted to announce something, but Yuko interrupted him, and the girl took Maeda with one hand and said.
"You've given us enough opportunities. It's better to save the resources for next time. "Yuko looks like she's already told Maeda.
"Maeda, you think so too?" Zhou Xiao asked the girl next to Yuko.
"yes, I think it's good now." Maeda nodded, she did feel that it was inappropriate to reward him. Because Brother Zhou Xiao had already prepared a variety show and the protagonist of a TV series for her before.
"Well, in that case, everyone's rewards can be regarded as divided, let me talk about this general election.
Some people may think that the general election is your report card for the past year, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I think the general election can mean more to us than that. For example, last year's report card, why can't it be the starting line for the next year. AKB is in its best period, and I hope that everyone can live in the opportunity to move upwards and forwards. And we will try our best to cooperate with you and strive for more and better things, so let's work together for the future of AKB. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiao looked at the staff on the side and said, "Everyone has been busy with work recently, so I won't say anything more, disbanded now!" ”
Seeing Zhou Xiao shouting to dissolve, the members bowed and thanked and said goodbye and left one after another, while Zhou Xiao shouted Maeda.
"Are you going to have a meal?" He invited the girl alone.
"Good...... Good. Maeda nodded. Zhou Xiao's invitation, the girl did not have any reason to refuse.
Taking Maeda to the restaurant, Yuko and Shinoda didn't say anything although they saw it. Maeda's loss is something that everyone can see, and they also want to make the girl normal.
After sitting down, the girl's first question was: "Brother Zhou Xiao, did you know the results before the rankings were announced?" ”
"How is it possible, the company that counts the general election is a company that will do the Japanese political election, and the AKB election is just a small job for them, and it is impossible for them to build their company's reputation for this small job." Zhou Xiao explained to the girl.
"That'...... Why before the general election. You're going to talk to me and give me such good resources...... Aren't you...... Are you comforting me? The girl asked.
"If you think about it after it happened. You can think about it, if you get the first place, will you think that I will send you the reward in advance? I gave you these jobs simply because I think you need these things, and they have nothing to do with rankings or anything, and I'm sure you'll be able to come out of the shadow of defeat, and don't forget that there will still be a general election next year. Zhou Xiao said.
"If I could, I really wouldn't want to participate in the general election again......" Maeda said weakly.
"Really?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Well...... One last time to participate! After winning the first place, I will not participate anymore! The girl said after thinking about it seriously.
This is the difference between an introverted girl with R talent and an introverted girl with no R talent, like Maeda, there are many introverts, introverts, and incomparably ordinary girls, but there are not many who can stand in the R position, strong self-confidence and the ability to withstand pressure, and the refusal to admit defeat in the bones is the real preciousness of girls.
But......
"If you participate again, you won't participate" or something, it can be said that Zhou Xiao doesn't want to hear the last word he wants, which means that the girl may graduate at any time.
"Graduation, ......" Zhou Xiao shook his head, when will the girls of AKB graduate, it can be said that it is the most artistic and crucial thing, and they must be careful if they can.
Of course, this is in the case of a choice, and sometimes the girls' graduation is not the result that the operation wants, and that is also a very frustrating thing.
"Brother Zhou Xiao, I haven't thought about graduating yet, I'm in AKB now...... It's a pleasure to work. The girl said, if the biggest difference between Maeda and Zhou Xiao in his previous life should be here, the girl in her previous life was very hard, she was busy to death, and she couldn't rest, which cast a gray shadow on the girl's face, and the focus of Zhou Xiao's work in this life was here, the girl's work must be done under the condition of ensuring her physical strength, and those jobs that would make the girl too tired, even if she would be attacked and played with a big name, she would rather not take it.
"That's the best, I don't want anyone to graduate. But...... You look like you're in good shape. Zhou Xiao said. He actually wondered how the girl seemed to be happy after coming to him.
"Originally, I was very disappointed, but Brother Zhou Xiao, I am very happy that you are chatting with me again, although I lost, but at least I know that in Brother Zhou Xiao's heart, I have not lost my usefulness." The girl said.
"What are you thinking?" Zhou Xiao patted the girl's head.
"It hurts, why hasn't today's delicious food come up yet, I haven't been to such a high-end restaurant yet!" The girl rubbed her head and began to think about today's food.
Looking at the girl's state, Zhou Xiao was completely relieved, Zhou Xiao called her out alone, which seemed to be a big reason for the girl to get normal, in addition, when Zhou Xiao announced the reward, Youzi pulled the girl to chat, which must have played a big role, but you have to ask Youzi separately for this matter.
For the people of Zuò, it is probably the most important thing to make the girls feel happy, and they sincerely like AKB, and want to work here for a long time. (To be continued)
ps:That's right,I'm talking about Hexi.,This girl's favorability in AKB is actually really good.,She's also a very sincere girl in her personal role.,Although she has a mistress face.,But it gives people a sense of blood.,But she ran away in the plan of the Golden Legend.,In my opinion, it's simply unreasonable and unbearable.,The Golden Legend of 10,000 yen a month project is going to be broadcast for many issues in a row.,And it's a prestigious prime-time program.,How many members can't dream of a project.,It can even be said to be like a mah friend., Jurina and other members couldn't get the opportunity to be taken by her, but Ya ran away!!??? This kind of person still wants to be popular!?
As a group meal, box push, operation push, I really rarely hate a member, but Kawasai this practice...... It's really unlikeable.,I've said before.,Professionalism is the most important.,For example, you can't fall in love as an idol.,Let's not talk about whether this rule is right or not.,At least this rule has always been there.,Since there's zài.,And you don't have the ability to break her.,You have to abide by it.,Otherwise,Compared with falling in love,,I care more about the other party doing this is completely unprofessional.。
Even if you hate a project again, while clearly saying that you hate this project, since you are next, there is a need to do it, unless this project is found to be inconsistent with your three views, or even insults you, or will force you to take a hairy photo or something, otherwise...... What position do you have on refusal? R655
