Chapter 603: NMB Selection

Yasu Akimoto is actually not old, big3, Shimura Ken and other big things are still active on the TV screen, how can he be considered old.

The reason why he said this was mainly because Zhou Xiao brought him a great sense of powerlessness.

Of course, who can say this kind of thing?

In addition to talking about business, Zhou Xiao has recently begun to travel frequently between Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, not to mention that Tokyo is the base camp, the reason for going back and forth between Osaka and Nagoya is, of course, because of the two sub-groups.

In terms of SKE, the enrollment of the fourth phase of students has begun, which will be a team as the main body of the future SKETEAME.

However, Zhou Xiao obviously pays more attention to the recruitment of first-term students of NMB, which is the foundation of NMB.

Today is the second review of NMB, and Zhou Xiao's car has two girls in addition to her, they are SKE's Merina Matsui and Reina Matsui.

When NMB48 was about to be established, in order to achieve publicity in Osaka, SKE's two centers and black mayonnaise opened a variety show that lasted for a quarter, mainly introducing NMB members, and this time the two girls went to Osaka for this show.

Reina and Jurina are a pair of quite special girls, Reina is gentle on the outside and strong on the inside, which can be said to be the soul of SKE, while Jurina is strong on the outside and fragile on the inside, more like SKE's body and face

Going to Osaka, Zhou Xiao took two girls to ride a Toyota commercial vehicle, as one of the few commodities endorsed by Zhou Xiao, Toyota often gave Zhou Xiao a car, and so far he has given him three or four, but Toyota sent his car, except for a special one specially made for him, the remaining few are commercial vehicles, SUVs and the like, these cars Zhou Xiao could not be used as a car that usually goes out to play with his sisters, so he threw it to the company for long-distance mobility.

Two staff members drove in front. Zhou Xiao and the two girls chatted very easily in the back.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, that ...... Will there be a chance for us to appear in next year's variety show? Jurina asked curiously and worriedly.

"Of course there will be, when the show starts, there will be places for SKE and NMB in each episode." Zhou Xiao said.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, you have to give us more chances!" Zhu Lina sat next to Zhou Xiao and took his arm and said coquettishly.

"Oh? If I give you more chances, what can you repay me? Zhou Xiao couldn't help but say, this way of speaking, if it is an adult girl, it is even a little provocative. But for the 13-year-old piglet, Zhou Xiao asked with a mentality like that of his daughter.

"Huh???? Brother Zhou Xiao doesn't have anything he needs! Jurina said.

"Although I don't need many things, it's not interesting to agree to your request directly...... Zhou Xiaodao.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, what are you talking about?" Jurina said.

"En......" Zhou Xiao's eyes suddenly fell on Ling Nai: "Wait a while to shoot a show, how about letting Ling Nai play an artist to imitate?" ”

"Huh!? Why did it happen to me again!? Rena was startled on the side.

Zhou Xiao and Yasu Akimoto, the members they liked when AKB was first established were different, Yasu Akimoto liked Maeda, and later he even wrote a song for Maeda like "You Are Me", which seemed to associate himself with her, but Zhou Xiao obviously preferred Yuko Oshima and Maeda. He is more like an elder brother, and he likes Yuko like a real man and woman. As for the center location, it actually has little to do with Zhou Xiao's liking.

But in the establishment of SKE, Zhou Xiao and Yasushi Akimoto like Zhu Lina in unison. The difference between the two is that Yasu Akimoto didn't notice Reina at first, and it was Zhou Xiao who put Reina in the same position as Jurina at the beginning of the establishment of SKE.

This made Ling Nai always grateful to Zhou Xiao, but no matter how grateful she was, she looked at Zhou Xiao who was chatting easily with Zhu Lina. Reina still has a feeling of not being able to get close, the two have always been quite far apart, and the girl can only sit in the corner most of the time. Holding the phone and looking at it enviously.

But Zhou Xiao's words led the topic to her.

"Let Reina imitate on the show? No, no, no, she definitely can't do it! Brother Zhou Xiao, you are too cunning! Zhu Rina said that Reina is a very shy girl, but she is also a very professional girl, so it is not impossible for her to imitate on the show, but Zhu Rina can't say that, because if you ask Reina, she definitely doesn't want to do this.

"Really? That's a pity. Zhou Xiao spread his hands and looked powerless.

"Huh? Isn't it!? Reina-chan~~~" Zhu Lina took Zhou Xiao's arm with one hand and coquettishly called Reina on the side.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, are you serious? But...... I'm so shy...... Why are you asking me so much......" Reina said in a dilemma.

"I know your character, and it's precisely because of this that I need you to be more open, try it, as long as you do it, I will arrange more SKE members on prime-time variety shows in the future!" Zhou Xiao said temptingly.

"That'...... All right! I know! Reina said.

"That's right, do you know what kind of girl Brother Zhou Xiao likes the most? Some girls may not want to do something, but once it's work, no matter how annoying it is, even if they cry, they have to finish it. Zhou Xiao said.

"Ah, by the way, Jurina, this doesn't mean that you should do everything, in my opinion, such a girl must also have the ability to discern, and no one can say that this is a job, and just do it without saying a word. Reina, you have to watch her a little bit, don't let her really do anything. Zhou Xiao said to Zhu Lina, Zhu Lina is so young, if someone really forces her with strange requests, Zhou Xiao is very worried that the girl will lack the ability to distinguish.

"I know Brother Zhou Xiao." Reina nodded.

In such a relaxed way, it took a few people a few hours to finally arrive in Osaka.

Originally, Shuang Matsui did this show in history, and the two of them were just watching VTR with Black Mainoise in the studio during the NMB audition stage, and this time Zhou Xiao brought the two to Osaka, and he also had his own ideas.

The birth of NMB made the members of SKE really feel threatened, but in Zhou Xiao's view, female idols are such a group. Compared with threats or anything, it is also very important for both sides to move forward together as comrades-in-arms.

So in AKB's teamk, when Aya Yamamoto was a graduate student, she was the substitute of Jurina Matsui, and because of Jurina's part-time status, it was impossible for girls to attend performances often, so Aya Yamamoto's performance had more opportunities to attend than Jurina, and even the K6 performance of Group K was taught to Jurina by Aya Yamamoto after learning it.

This allowed the two girls to form a very strong friendship from the very beginning. Then, Aya Yamamoto was upgraded. Concurrently with NMB48.

I believe that during the period when the news of the concurrent job was just announced, the girl might be very painful and struggling, because she and Zhu Lina, who had a good relationship, would become opponents, but this is what Zhou Xiao wants to see, the so-called love and killing, there must be love, and it is interesting to kill.

Because it's recruiting future teammates, so NMB audition or something, Aya Yamamoto will definitely be involved. In fact, she has already participated in the selection of candidates, as an eighth-term student who has just been promoted, she originally did not have this right, but Zhou Xiao's attention obviously played a role. Although she is far from having the opportunity to express her opinions, she still participated in the selection, according to Zhou Xiao, even if she looks at it more. It's a good experience for herself.

In this show, in addition to Shuangmatui, Aya Yamamoto will also participate in the show, except for the three of them. The fourth person on the exterior is Ryota Yamazato, after arriving in Osaka and handing over the two girls to the program team, Zhou Xiao directly participated in the audition, and he himself had no time to participate in the program production.

In the second phase of the selection in history, more than 600 people came, and 100 people were selected from these more than 600 people to enter the third phase of the selection.

But with Zhou Xiaozai, the selection of NMB does not need to be held four or even more than five times in a row, this time the second phase of the selection, he is ready to directly cut the more than 600 people to about 50 people, so that the final selection again, should be able to select the first phase of NMB48.

By the time Zhou Xiao arrived at the inner venue for selection, everyone was ready.

"Okay? So to get started, shall we? He gave the order, and the staff sprang into action.

A long row of ten small tables lined up, the girls came up to participate in the interview, no need to sing or dance, the second part of the written review, is just such a direct and simple interview.

This interview, it seems, is used to observe the appearance of the girls in the operation, but in fact, the appearance is a small matter in this review, and in Chinese, this kind of interview only examines one thing, that is, whether the members who come to participate in the selection can speak normally.

Sounds simple? In fact, among ordinary people, this requirement is not simple at all.

Surrounded by members who participate in the audition with themselves, whether they can be selected depends on the words of the person in front of them, and the tense moments surround the girls who participate in the audition, under such a huge elimination rate, it is no longer enough to deal with the interviewer's things, and the girls must show more of their own things.

And what's even more exaggerated is that Zhou Xiao doesn't need to be the interviewer, after the selection starts, he stands directly behind the interviewer, ten girls in a row, five minutes, Zhou Xiao looks at it from beginning to end, this is his job today

The needlework was growing, and there was only the voice of the interviewer asking questions in the whole room, and Zhou Xiao didn't talk to disturb any interviewer's work from beginning to end, he just looked at the information while walking, silently behind everyone, every time he finished reading a group of members, and then got the next group of materials from the staff.

Akari Yoshida appeared, Haruna Kinoshita, and Kanako Kadowaki also appeared...... Then Nana Yamada appeared, and so did Kaminishi......

If you want to say that the girls you see in the selection are really not good-looking, girls who have not received vocational training usually have a very healthy complexion on their faces, which is reflected in the lens is black and very tacky, and the appearance looks very sharp and angular, and it does not look soft at all.

Zhou Xiao watched with interest, and finally, a girl made her stop.

It's also black and cheesy, and there is hardly anything special about it, but Zhou Xiao stopped in front of this girl for a while.

After the selection was over, he directly called the staff and took the girl to the side room.

The audition continued, and the nervous girl was taken to a room alone but no one came. Because everyone in front of them is still busy choosing.

Zhou Xiao didn't see everyone completely, the person he wanted to see the most had already been found, and there were two other girls, who finally saw it after he waited for another hour.

These two girls are one is Miru Shiruma and the other is Miyuki Watanabe.

In Zhou Xiao's view, Miru Shiruma is a miracle for NMB48 and even the entire AKB Group.

The first time I saw this little girl, this girl looked ...... It's so ugly, black, thin and small, although the face shape is good, it exudes a rustic feeling from the inside out, Zhou Xiao is very puzzled. It is said that this girl came in the family's high-end car, but what kind of wealthy family can cultivate such a rustic girl......

is such a rustic and ordinary girl, but in a few years, she has completely transformed and become a super beauty in the entire AKB group.

As for Miyuki Watanabe, Zhou Xiao wanted to see her purely out of curiosity.

Miyuki Watanabe, among AKB and NMB, has a very famous image of the god of fishing. But according to legend, her own personality is not like this, Zhou Xiao really wants to see her true character when she just joined NMB.

When the name "Miyuki Watanabe" appeared in the information in his hand, Zhou Xiao walked towards the girl.

He didn't speak, and he didn't seem to care much. It was just like a very ordinary person walking behind the interviewer, but in fact, most of his attention was on the girl.

And then...... When Zhou Xiao passed by the table where the girl was, the interviewer in front of her suddenly lowered his head to write, and took this opportunity. Miyuki Watanabe suddenly raised her head and showed a big smile at Zhou Xiao!

has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, and Zhou Xiao has seen many super beauties. What about the girl in front of you? In terms of skin color, it may be better than others, but it is not much better, and I am not skilled in makeup or anything.

But it was such a girl, when she looked at Zhou Xiao and showed that iconic smile, Zhou Xiao seemed to have a feeling of overpower!

The fishing god really deserves to be the fishing god! seized the fleeting opportunity, reflecting the intelligence of this girl, such an infectious smile was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and almost hit Zhou Xiao's soul!

However, although admiring this girl's natural ability, Zhou Xiao was also very worried about her.

The attribute of the fishing god comes from dealing with the good treatment of ordinary people, but many things in later generations have proved one point, that is, the so-called fishing god, in private, wants to fish men is also very powerful.

Miyuki Watanabe, a girl who had an affair with a man in later life, directly led her popularity to experience a decline, and Zhou Xiao, who knew the girl's strong talent, quickly began to think about a problem, how to maintain her natural ability while preventing her from making those messy things?

This problem doesn't need to be solved right now, but now that the girl has appeared in front of her, it is indeed time to think about it.

Ten people need to interview for five minutes, 100 people for 50 minutes, 600 people, you need to interview for 300 minutes, that is, five hours, this is still without counting the rest time at all, the real interview lasts about six hours.

After watching Miyuki Watanabe, Zhou Xiao left the interview room, and under the guidance of the staff, he came to another room with only one girl, where he saw the girl who was pulled out by him.

"Ogasawara Mayu, that's your name, right?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Ahh Be! Hello Mr. Zhou Xiao! The girl in front of her stood up and said nervously, her little round face can't be said to be cute, among idols, even if she wears makeup, she can only be regarded as a very ordinary appearance.

"I read your profile and interview, and now I have a mention I want to tell you." Zhou Xiaodao.

"You say!" The girl said.

"Now I have two choices here, one is for you to join NMB48, and the other is for you to sign a contract with us within AZX now, and then when there is another selection at AKB headquarters, you will participate in AKB's selection and become an AKB member." Zhou Xiao said.

“akb!?” Ogasawara Mayu was frightened, she never expected that when she came to participate in the NMB audition, Zhou Xiao's brother was ready to directly promote her to Beijing to become a member of AKB48.

"That...... Week...... Brother Zhou Xiao, why me? The girl asked in surprise, she also knew that with her own potential, she didn't look like she could be promoted by Zhou Xiao.

"I have my own judgment in this regard, I think your talent is not completely limited to idols, so I hope you can have a better training, but I want to make it clear that you may not be able to take the complete idol route in the future." Zhou Xiao couldn't say it too clearly, so he had to say it in general terms.

"Good...... Well, I got it! Ogasawara nodded.

"I know you can't make a decision right away today, and I'm not in a hurry, you can go back and talk to your family today, and if you think it's okay, you can contact us at that time." Zhou Xiao finally said.

Ogasawara Moyu is a very potential variety show member in NMB, but later moved to AKB, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, the sooner this girl emigrates, the better, so that she can get familiar with AKB faster, and more importantly, among the AKB group, there is a relative lack of variety show members among the members after the 12th period, as the central group in Tokyo, it is not a good thing that there are too many traditional idols gathered in AKB, He hopes that Ogasawara will be able to stand out among these graduate students, and rely on her ability to bring out the overall image and role of graduate students.

It was a heavy task, but at this moment, there was nothing else he could find. (To be continued......)
