At the end of 2oo4 and the beginning of 2oo5 for about a month, Zhou Xiao began to sort out his work, and the previous novels and scripts were summarized and organized, and those that could be published were published, and those that could not be published were also determined, and those that had been published began to sell the copyright or simply set a shooting plan during this time.

Zhou Xiao, who works as a variety of artists at AZX, also intervenes in a lot of uncharacteristically, and even like Aoi Miyazaki, Zhou Xiao has almost planned the girl's route for the next few years.

The finances of the entire company have also been thoroughly sorted out, and a large number of originally fixed and semi-fixed assets have been cleared out and liquidated to increase the already abundant and abundant capital flow of AZX, and even the network department, Zhou Xiao has begun to set new goals for it.

In addition to the entertainment department, AZX now has a network department and a game department, and the network department used to run the AMEBA blog, which has now gradually spread all over the world, and as one of the first blogs in the world, AMEBA can now dominate almost the entire Japanese blogosphere.

AZX's blog operation is actually difficult for the Japanese industry to understand, because AZX's blog has been adhering to the free attitude since its birth, and even the advertising is not much, such a blog, although it has just wanted to show up other similar sites, but it is still a state of almost no income, it can be said that from the beginning of its birth, AMEBA has been in a state of investment and loss.

Generally speaking, when it comes to Cheng Dù, who rules almost the entire Japanese blogosphere like Ameba, any company will start to figure out how to make money, and they will slowly start to experiment with charging models, such as opening up the membership system, adding some paid blog templates, and even restricting users from viewing past logs.

But AZX's AMEBA did not take any similar measures at Zhou Xiao's behest. It seems that his AMEBA is simply to accumulate user stuff.

Such ameba is now a platform with tens of millions of registered users, and the website not only has a blog, but even the forum affiliated to the website has become a very lively place. You know, Japanese people are often conservative and only recognize one thing, and in Japanese forums, who can compare to 2netbsp; However, the Ameba forum has this tendency now, and 2ch, a huge anonymous message board that has been established since 1999, has become one of the largest and most famous forums in Japan. It was really a very puzzling thing for Zhou Xiao.

Ameba's forum didn't seem very amazing at the beginning of its establishment, and even Zhou Xiao himself didn't take this thing seriously, he just felt that if he was in China and made such a website, it would be strange to have no forum, so he got such a thing.

But I didn't expect that such a thing established by Zhou Xiao in accordance with the standards of later forums has attracted the likes of many users, and 2ch is really bad compared to AMEBA forums. Such a poor user experience, if it weren't for the first advantage, there would be a large number of old users lingering in it, and there would be a good morning mother wolf version of these three points. It's really easy to get over.

For example, now Ameba has done it.

As for the AMEBA blog, Zhou Xiao insists on not charging and not making money, because he is farther than everyone in the industry.

Although the blog is popular, everyone in the future who knows a little about the Internet knows it. This thing has only been great for the past few years, and Japan is already the hottest place for blogs, but ten years later. Ameba's limelight is gradually being stolen by other websites.

These sites include Twitter, including Instagram, including goog1e+, all of which are more dynamic than AMEBA and AMEBA ...... But he is already old.

Not to mention ten years later, only in recent years, you can accumulate huge users for you by making free products, and you want to make money? All those money-making ideas have turned out to be a drop in the bucket, and the little money earned has not been paid by users who have lost their fame due to fees.

Not to mention the slowdown in user growth due to fees.

Therefore, there is no charge for blogging, and it will never be charged, with such an idea, Zhou Xiao asked the company's network department to make a publicity at the beginning of 2oo5, to promote the permanent free of Ameba's blog department.

As for the problem of making money and following the exhibition, which the company's network department is worried about, Zhou Xiao also made a plan for them, and the goal of this plan is very simple, that is...... Social networks.

Social network,2oo4At the beginning of the year,Face wave OK has appeared in the United States,And just when it entered December,Face wave OK officially announced that their users have reached one million,It's a thing that is very fast,About FACK wave OK,Zhou Xiao is not ready to invest in each other,Although they occupy the first advantage,But 1oo million users is not a very large number,And for AZX's AMEBA,Face wave OK is two products with it, The two sides have similar routes in the future, so investing in them may cause competition between the company's network department and them, so it is better to simply develop it yourself.

"It's called a social network, it's ...... We can't do it in Japan, but we can learn from it and make our own social network. Zhou Xiao pointed to the face wave OK page on the monitor at the company's meeting and said.

One of the important things he didn't forget was that social networks...... Actually, it's not for Japan.

What is the personality of the Japanese? They don't like social networks where they connect everyone with their real names, Japanese people like anonymous things like 2ch, and they don't like to reveal their full truth on the Internet, and their anonymity makes them a lot easier and freer.

"This kind of real-name social network is not suitable for Japan, so I hope that you can explore a social network system that is suitable for Japan and can meet the anonymity habits of Japanese people." Zhou Xiao said.

As for the most important place for social networks to become popular, of course, it is Europe and the United States, Zhou Xiao first tried to contact the face wave ok, but now they have no idea of being acquired, so it doesn't matter. In Europe and the United States, you can buy or simply open your own company's European and American version of the social network.

In addition to the network department,AZX's game department exhibition is also quite smooth,The production of the fan necraft is very smooth with the exhibition,Although the growth of users has slowed down because of the decrease in exposure,But there is no intention of stopping,Such a mc,Zhou Xiao thinks it's good to let him show it,On the one hand, this game can now bring a lot of income to AZX,On the other hand, after the users of this game accumulate a certain amount of dù,You can sell it at a good price。

After the network and game work is over. Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang have been meeting more and more.

And what they often talk about after they sit together is naturally the problem of idol groups.

"Now, it's time for you to tell me what kind of idol group you want to be, right?" Akimoto asked as the two sat down together again.

"Until then, I'd like to hear what you think of the girl group." Zhou Xiao asked.

"Me? Actually, my idea is also very simple, idols, this thing, now it is not possible to go the same way as 20 years ago, the high-quality idols Japanese have seen too much, and they must build a more ...... More ......"

"Closer to the public. An idol that's like a kitten club, but more accessible than a kitten? Zhou Xiao received.

"That's right! You're right, that's what I meant! Akimoto said as he patted the table.

"Mr. Akimoto, it seems that the two of us have similar ideas." Zhou Xiao said with a smile, in fact, he has similar ideas. This genius's anti-industry thinking is the most powerful talent in Yasushi Akimoto.

"Oh? Do you think so too? Yasu Akimoto asked.

"Yes, if it's just an ordinary idol group, what's the difference between it and the Good Morning Girl Group." Zhou Xiao said.

"So how do you make sure that the group is close to the people? I'm quite struggling with this question. Yasu Akimoto asked.

Zhou Xiao was stunned. Akimoto Yasu didn't know how to ensure proximity to the people? It was only later that she remembered what the story was.

Handshake parties have been around in Japan for a long time, and most of the male and female idols in the 80s have done this work. But before Yasu Akimoto and AKB, the handshake meeting was just a way to promote the artist, and it was just a way to "thank you for buying the artist's work" until AKB appeared.

At first, AKB didn't think about the handshake party, and AKB's first handshake meeting was actually a substitute work that was carried out when there was a problem with the lighting in the theater one day and the director could not carry out the performance. At that time, the AKB handshake party was a legendary event, because of the small number of people, the audience who could not attend the performance was outside the theater, shaking hands and talking with the members of the group lined up cordially, and the time limit? Of course not, in the theater at that time, the idols on stage and the OTAs off the stage were very familiar, and the idols could remember the names of most of the OTAs, saying that the relationship between the two sides was that of stars and fans, and it was better to say that the two sides were like friends.

However, although such a handshake will be very good, such a handshake will be at most an activity within the group, and it will not have much publicity, what really makes AKB popular and spread across the country is the national handshake meeting starting from the single "Loud Diamond", which is Zhou Xiao's killer feature.

But this kind of thing, Zhou Xiao doesn't need to tell Qiu Yuankang now, he just said: "Since there is a goal, the next thing is just how to achieve it, there are many things to do to highlight the proximity of a group, theater performance is a kind of thing, and for example, various activities, handshakes or something, can highlight this."

In addition, the people should not only be active, but also give the guests a sense of participation, not only to let the guests have the feeling that I am chasing idols, but also to give them the feeling that I am cultivating idols and protecting idols. ”

"Oh?" Qiu Yuanyasu was more interested in Zhou Xiao's latter sentence: "What is cultivating idols? ”

"In other words, it is necessary to let the rice players participate in the making of idols, and let the rice people decide for themselves whether an idol can succeed or not." Zhou Xiao said.

"How?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"The main thing, I think, is...... General Election! Zhou Xiao said.

"General election?"

"Yes, maybe not all of them, but at least every year there must be a work that allows the fans to vote for themselves and decide the ranking, and not only that, but every year there must be a work for the members to decide for themselves instead of our operators." Zhou Xiao said.

"Oh! Sounds pretty good! "Yasu Akimoto is interested.

The main idea Zhou Xiao naturally won't reveal, but it's just a handshake. The general election and the guessing boxing conference had already made Akimoto Yasusu full of interest, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked one of his worries.

"However, there is a question that you have not thought about, many things are contradictory, if you really want to be an idol close to the people, then you can't use too high-end ways to show strength, so in the end it comes back to the same problem." Akimoto said.

"You mean...... Time? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Yes, such a group must only accumulate slowly. Can you afford to wait? Yasu Akimoto asked.

Zhou Xiao thought for a while, stretched out his hand and dipped it in the quilt in front of him, and then wrote a number on the table.

“11，6o4，538？ What is it? Akimoto asked in surprise as he looked at the numbers on Zhou Xiao's desk.

"Do you know my company's Necraft?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"I know, but I don't know much." Yasu Akimoto said that he was not young anymore, and he didn't care much about video games or anything. And AZX's MC is not particularly well-known in Japan, and the number of users is not often announced.

"This is how much our company sells this game right now." Zhou Xiao said softly.

"Sales? This is......! Akimotoyasu's eyes are very small, and there are usually only two slits left when he smiles, but now. His eyes opened to the greatest Cheng that Zhou Xiao had ever seen since he met him.

"How much does your game sell for?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"At first, it sold for 5 dollars, and it sold for 5oo yen in China, but this is the price of the game at the beginning, and now the full version sells for 13.99 dollars and 135o yen." Zhou Xiao said.

Yasushi Akimoto's breathing was a lot shorter. What does this number mean? It means that Zhou Xiao's game has earned more than 50 million US dollars so far, that is, more than 5 billion yen! It was not expected that Yasu Akimoto could make so much money in one game, and besides, games are a long-term business.

"The game now has 10,000 or even tens of thousands of users every day. We estimate that by the end of 2oo5, we will have more than 20 million users, so it can be said that this number today is only a number of the game's infancy, and in a year or two, the game will definitely achieve greater sales. Zhou Xiao said confidently.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect you to be so good at making games!" Qiu Yuankang's words can be described as very sincere, Zhou Xiao, this kid can do anything.

"Therefore, my company and I are not short of money, there is a lot of money to do what I want to do, and what I want to do has not changed since I joined the entertainment industry in 2ooo. Mr. Akimoto, although your 10% stake in AKB is not much, I assure you that your stake will not change, no matter how much money I invest here in the future, your stake will not change! Zhou Xiao said.

"Okay, I know, in fact, it is a very bad choice for you to be the boss, because you are too young to convince the public, but your words have made you the best boss, the best boss, the boss who never saves money." Akimoto said.

"So, don't worry, what we want to do is a first-class girl group, a project that can rule the Japanese entertainment industry, not a group that plays one ticket and leaves!" Zhou Xiao said that his words are a bit easy to cause misunderstanding if he says this to Qiu Yuankang, because his kitten club back then was a standard model of earning a vote and running, but Zhou Xiao still said it, because he has this confidence, AKB can be popular in Qiu Yuankang's hands, and in his hands, he is still preparing for so many years, and he is also very clear that AKB is becoming popular, Zhou Xiao does not believe that he can't be popular in his hands!

"Speaking of which, you pulled me in for more than just the lyrics and my experience, right?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"Uh...... Indeed, I would like to draw on your various connections in the entertainment industry. Zhou Xiao said.

"My relationship? You've got a lot of relationships now. Qiu Yuankang said, after Zhou Xiao told him about going to be an idol group, the first thing he reacted to was the things that Zhou Xiao has done in the past few years, his interactions with himself, with various behind-the-scenes staff, his communication with large companies, and with Jennis, Qiu Yuankang realized that Zhou Xiao's purpose was originally here, you know, although Zhou Xiao is good friends with Jennis, he has nothing to do with several major Tianhou palaces in the industry, such as Xingchen and Ai Hui, The reason is here, his future idol group, There will inevitably be conflicts with these companies, so the two sides are only in ordinary business cooperation, and they do not have a very comprehensive cooperation like Zhou Xiao and Dennis.

"There are many people and many roads, your relationship in the past few decades is here, no matter how good my relationship with the TV station or company is, it can't be better than you." Zhou Xiao said, what he didn't say is that most of Zhou Xiao's relationship with enterprises stops at cooperation and friendly relations, and most of these companies are normal enterprises, and Yasuya Akimoto, whether it is Kyoraku in Nagoya, or has some relationship with Osaka, Yoshimoto, and the underworld background throughout Japan, these relationships may not be too big, at least these violent groups will sell his face, which is something that Zhou Xiao does not have.
