Chapter 495: The Idol Project That Can Be Seen
changed into a well-cut suit, and Zhou Xiao, who had just dreamed back to the otaku period in his previous life, instantly looked like a dog again.
What he wants to announce today is a big plan for AKB this year to be no smaller than a nationwide tour.
Zhou Xiao walked towards the stage while looking at the prepared line book in his hand, and while walking, he also listened to the MC that had completed all the performances on the stage, and the content of this MC made him a little embarrassed.
There aren't many MCs in today's AKB concert.,There's not too much MC with a special zuò.,It's more about the members themselves.,Especially the MC after the opening few songs.,It's because of the martial arts hall plan that was announced when it came up and the rhythm was disrupted.,Fortunately, the operation and Zhou Xiao have long considered this.,In the first MC, Mai Oshima was left on the stage.,Takahashi Minami and Shinoda Oshima.,These girls can basically be regarded as the smartest and quickest responders or the most experienced in the first two periods of life.。
And the four girls' table xiàn also lived up to the trust of the operation.,First of all, Takahashi Minami unexpectedly burst into tears after talking about the Budokan concert.,Seeing this situation, the other three girls were complaining while making funny.,Finally,Although this MC has become a complete on-the-spot play.,The effect is still very good.,At least the members of the surprise of being able to go to the Budokan is reached.。
The same is true for the MC before the end of the concert, more than 80% of the time, Zhou Xiao heard Takahashi's subwoofer-like voice saying words of thanks to the audience, most of her lines are clichés, until the end, Takahashi Minami finally said something that made Zhou Xiao look up and smile, and at the same time a little embarrassed: "The concert is going on to the end, almost...... That person is about to come out, right? ”
………………
Zhou Xiao suddenly found that the members seemed to be used to it.
In the anticipatory cheers of the dinner and the thoughts that the members didn't know whether they should look forward to it or hate it, Zhou Xiao walked out in the end.
"Sure enough!" "Sure enough!" "Don't make us sad!!" The girls said without surprise.
Such a statement made Zhou Xiao even a little shy, he stood at the top of the stage. I had to continue as if I didn't see anything, "The AKB members are announced as 'idols who can meet' plan below. ”
Huh? What the?
What is the "Idol Project Where You Can Meet"?
The members and the diners were stunned, what they heard was a term they had never heard before.
Zhou Xiao continued: "Everyone should know that the slogan of AKB's team is 'idols who can meet', and in 2008, our AKB is indeed gradually becoming popular, and with this popularity, there will be a voice. That's the AKB girls...... It's getting harder and harder to see.
Yes, the rice can also pass the guò theater, and the guò handshake will meet the members, but ...... It is undeniable that the handshake will be able to satisfy, just the minimum requirements for the meals, we know very well, everyone actually wants to see more members, and to see the demeanor of the members rather than the way everyone shakes hands.
As for the theater. In the case of an increasing number of viewers, it will also choose to use the lottery system, so to speak, with the gradual popularity of AKB. It is true that the members are getting harder and harder to see each other.
So, in order to make it easier for the members to be seen, we decided to launch this idol project where you can meet!
First of all, the handshake ticket that comes with each AKB single will be revamped from today. In addition to the handshake function, the handshake ticket can also be used as an admission ticket to other AKB events. ”
Speaking of the purpose of Zhou Xiao's reform, it is first equivalent to grasping the hand ticket into another form of token. And through guò this way to increase AKB's single sales, another important point is to digest the number of handshake coupons in this way, AKB later, the increase in the sales of singles directly leads to the increase in the number of handshake coupons, so many handshake coupons, the members are very hard to shake up, so Zhou Xiao uses this way to digest handshake coupons, so that members can participate in more less tiring activities, less to participate in very physical handshake meetings.
Zhou Xiao continued: "As for the activities that will use handshake coupons, we are still planning other activities, but we have basically determined the first event, that is...... AKB's 1st Summer Festival will be held this summer, and we hope you will be holding a karaoke festival, a one-man mini concert by the members, and a traditional summer festival at the summer festival venue. ”
"Wow!" The whole NHKHALL was in a hurry, even standing on the top of the stage, Zhou Xiao could see the excited exchange of eyes from the audience to the meals, it was obvious that the meals were novel and excited, because this was something they had never been exposed to, and it was almost a new way of communicating with the members!
The so-called summer festival that Zhou Xiao came up with is actually the AKB summer festival that was born in the summer of 2014, in fact, AKB has always had a tradition of summer festivals, 2008 is last year, and the group itself also held a summer festival, and last year's Hibiya outdoor concert was actually the final part of the AKB summer festival.
But this summer festival is actually very simple, and the main part and biggest purpose of the whole summer festival is live, not a festival.
But the one Zhou Xiao proposed, the same festival as the 2014 summer festival in his previous life, is a completely different thing from the summer festival in 2008 last year.
The first feature of the new summer festival is that there is no large-scale concert and live at the end of the end, and the entire summer festival is all composed of small live and performances.
This will include solo activities for the members, some special fun selections, talent shows for some members, and of course, air guns, goldfishing, marshmallows and other activities of the traditional summer festival, and of course, the members of AKB will be the hosts of these activities.
The way for the fans to participate is to provide their handshake tickets, such as a handshake ticket for watching a member's minilive, a variety of merchandise that may be available for a play, and even a handshake ticket for the airsoft gun that the members have tried out the grand prize in person.
Zhou Xiao estimated that this first AKB summer festival could not attract too many meals to participate, because a very simple reason was that the meals did not have too many handshake tickets, and now every single of AKB. There are not as many people who come to participate in the handshake as there were when they were popular in the previous life, at least those handshake tickets can be consumed for each single song, so once the summer festival is held, many meals will be limited to the use of handshake tickets and cannot participate in too many activities.
Zhou Xiao actually thought of this, so at the first summer festival, more activities will be arranged for the diners who do not need to shake hands and can enter the venue as long as they pay one at the beginning, such an number of activities. Each time the summer festival is held, it will be adjusted according to the composition of the AKB rice group in that year, and if the handshake party is hard to complete, the part of the summer festival that collects handshake tickets will be increased, and if the completion plan of the handshake party is relatively complete, it will be reduced accordingly.
Why do this more than five years in advance? In fact, the reason is simple, Zhou Xiao's original idea was to deepen the viscosity of the core rice to AKB in the year of 2009, so that they can save zài for a long time as the user with the highest consumption power in the AKB rice group.
Since you want to increase the viscosity of this core rice. Deepening the experience of these meals is what AKB needs to do, and there is no doubt that there is a high sense of participation in this work for meals like the summer festival. And the activity with a very high evaluation is naturally something that Zhou Xiao wants to take out in advance.
The members of the audience didn't know how popular this thing Zhou Xiao would be in the end, AKB's summer festival in 2014. It can be said that it has been praised by all the members of the meal, and the members are not particularly tired during the activities of the past few days. Especially the upper members have enough rest and even leisure time, not particularly pushed members, in this activity there are enough opportunities to show themselves, as long as you have some characteristics, the operation will not be stingy to give you time to show yourself, of course, your strengths and abilities must also be reliable, otherwise if you want to talk to a group of otaku science Jennis idols how handsome, it will not be bombarded by otaku in the end.
Of course, no one would dare to discuss Genesys in this situation, but some people would discuss K-pop idol artists, which ...... It's better than Janis, but it's not much better.
In terms of AKB's fixed activities every year, a complete chain has basically been formed every year in later generations, such as the song selection at the beginning of each year, the draft meeting in March, the spring CON and various national performances in April, the general election in June, the summer events and summer concerts in July and August, the guessing tournament in September and October, and finally the various special groups at the end of the year, and then to AKB's own red and white song party, year-end activities such as the founding anniversary, plus performances and variety shows throughout the year, and some members go to the play. The graduation of important members, etc., can basically guarantee that the rice will be under the information bombardment of the AKB all year round.
AKB's biggest advantage over other idol groups is its massive amount of information, for traditional artists, it is normal to have no news for a month or two, the only news is that there may be a drama or a single, and the artists will also come out to promote it during the publicity period, and go on a few variety shows, this is the traditional, not for the food, only for the work of the artist.
But AKB is different, AKB's huge amount of information is unprecedented in both China and Japan, and even Europe and the United States, making AKB rice, it is impossible to see a message in a month or two, let alone a month or two, it is impossible to do it for a week, almost all the news of AKB rice is instant and frequent, in the morning, a member updated Twitter and posted a photo with other members, another member and a man's head post in the morning flowed, what was announced by the operation at noon, and the information of the new single was released in the afternoon, At dinner time, the performance begins, and there are people on the Internet who update the pictures live broadcast on the website for paid or free live broadcasts, and then in the middle of the night, there are almost every day, and AKB and its sister groups broadcast variety shows on various TV stations, so that Japanese people can watch TV directly, and AKB rice continues to watch live webcasts......
At the end of the day, a satisfied AKB went to bed, and the next morning he woke up and found that something had happened in the middle of the night so he posted a post to ask, and then was laughed at by others that he was a Mars, and the post was deleted by the moderator in less than two minutes......
This is the reason why AKB's Baidu Tieba and even Japanese forums are outrageously vibrant, although the number of members is far less than that of Chinese artists, the number of posts and the speed of updates are more than traditional artists, because AKB has something new to discuss almost every moment.
This kind of high-intensity information bombardment in the previous life was actually created from 2010, and before 2010, AKB, although the amount of information was much higher than that of traditional artists, had not yet reached an extremely surprising change. Cheng dù, who made all other artists fall behind, 2008, song ranking, 2009 general election, 2010 guessing boxing conference, 2011 AKB home red and white...... The original AKB relied on the accumulation of years to build the annual activities of AKB with a huge amount of information, and Zhou Xiao also knew very well that if all these activities were taken out at once, it would only make the investment in operation too large and it would be difficult for the rice to accept it quickly. So he wasn't particularly anxious, but the reason why he took out the summer festival in advance was because the scale of the summer festival could be large or small, and increasing the stickiness of the core meal was something he had already thought about doing in 2009.
The first day of the god performance ended like this.,On the first day of the performance, a total of two things were announced.,One is the martial arts hall concert.,The other is the summer festival.,After Zhou Xiao announced the summer festival on this day.,AKB's website also posted that it had been made a long time ago.。 The details of the summer festival, including the time of the festival and the events to be held, are clearly written on the website, so that even those who were unable to attend the AKB concert can understand it. What kind of event will AKB make this summer?
However, it was clear that the summer festival that had not yet been held was not as much of a topic as Budokan, and after the concert that day, the members' blogs and meals were the most discussed on the forum. It's all about AKB's landing at the Budokan, and even a lot of entertainment news is reporting on AKB's concerts. It also took "the martial arts hall that has been established for three and a half years and wishes" as the title of the news, which is enough to prove the great significance of landing on the martial arts hall as an artist.
After the concert, Zhou Xiao did not go home, but went to the company again.
Although the filming of "Antang Ji Qì Ren" is over, but after the filming is over, the post-production of the drama has just begun, and the production of this drama is a big exception in Japan, because after the filming of the whole drama is completed, it will take a whole quarter to be broadcast, shooting, post-production, and then broadcast, in terms of other Japanese production companies, it is difficult to support such a production zuò.
Moreover, the later stage of this drama is much more complicated than ordinary TV series only editing, there are quite a lot of CG that need to be completed by a special production company and AZX's network department, although Zhou Xiao does not do technical things, but this drama is his own thing, so every scene and every shot still needs him to confirm before it can be played.
Therefore, although he ran with the members all day during the day, Zhou Xiao still couldn't rest at night, and after he went to the company to confirm all the things made by the staff today, the time was already 2:45 in the morning, and it was already very troublesome to go home at this time, so he simply barely slept in the company, and when he was woken up at 7 o'clock in the morning, he came to NHKHALL in the company's car.
Before eight o'clock, the members didn't arrive, and had a brief meeting with the people of the company and the theater, and after summarizing yesterday's work, Zhou Xiao said: "Yesterday was one but today is two, I hope everyone can do their best from the beginning and complete this live." ”
After the operation team was disbanded and began their respective work, the members finally arrived.
Zhou Xiao did not go directly to see the members, but called someone in the lounge by himself: "HIRO-san, today...... No problem, right? ”
"Of course, no problem, I'll definitely arrive on time." HIRO SAID ON THE PHONE.
After confirming with EXILE, Zhou Xiao was completely relieved, he walked out of the lounge, and at first glance, he saw girls such as Aya Takamoto and Mami Nakajima, among the AKB members who were coming one after another.
Not only the two of them, but also several other members of the new company who are expected to move to and merge with LDH, Zhou Xiao can clearly see that these members have strange faces, pretending to be very looking forward to today's concert and happy.
Separation is always heartbreaking, especially now, although there have been small movements of members in the past few years since AKB was established, there has been no particularly large-scale member movement, and Zhou Xiao knows very well that this move is a more powerful cross-company movement than the future pavilion festival, the pavilion festival or something, even if many members are separated, in fact, they are still in a group, and if they don't look up for a long time, they are not really separated at all.
But this time the migration is different, the eight members have moved to a new company, and what awaits them will be a new group and many completely unfamiliar members, so it is understandable that they are apprehensive.
And what will people other than them think when they hear the news?
When the overture of the concert sounded, no one knew that after the performance, there would be a few members who would begin to say goodbye to others and embark on a new journey that Zhou Xiao had never witnessed in his previous life. (To be continued......)
