Chapter 369: Unexpected Them
Mita Yurika and Kiriko Takemura, these two people can appear in the selection, which is really unexpected by Zhou Xiao.
Let's talk about Mita Yurika first, in Japan, anchoring is a very noble profession with social status, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, it is more difficult than being a full-fledged actress and singer.
If you want to be an actress, I mean the kind of big-name actress who can star in a TV series, then in addition to being beautiful, you also need a certain amount of acting skills, which don't need much, and the more beautiful you are, the less acting skills you need.
And if you want to be a singer, you basically only need singing skills and some luck to be discovered, and even your appearance, if you are beautiful enough, you are naturally good, but even if you are not beautiful, no one will say anything about you.
However, compared with anchors, these two professions are relatively simple.
To be an anchor, first of all, you have to be beautiful, and secondly, you must also be intellectual, and you will enter the entertainment industry after graduating from high school? Even high school is Horikoshi? Unless you are talented and become an idol while going to high school, you can also get a good university, and then the idol graduates, and then you can take the female anchor exam or something.
Is there such a person in the world? Kindness...... There really is, Asami Konno, the former good morning mother, became an idol, and after graduation, she was admitted to Keio, returned for a period of time, graduated again, and then was admitted to Tokyo TV as an announcer.
It's just that...... Such a person, Zhou Xiao is lonely and unheard, so he just knows such a person.
Now, looking at Mita Yurika in her hand, Zhou Xiao is curious, will she become another person who makes this kind of achievement?
"But why would she want to be an idol?" Zhou Xiao was very puzzled by such a question.
The surname Mita is not an ordinary surname in the Japanese entertainment industry, Mita Yurika's father and grandfather's industry have very famous theaters and Japanese restaurants, and it is the kind that lasts for a hundred years, such a Mita family can be said to be the top group of people in Japan.
And Mita Yurika herself is not bad. She is about to be nineteen years old this year, and she should have just been admitted to Aoyama University, majoring in international politics and economics, and she was not in Japan last year, but should have studied in Seattle, so she is also very fluent in English, and she is also qualified to perform traditional Japanese dances, and the ability to speak Chinese characters required by the anchor is also quite powerful, and even the tea ceremony is good.
And her appearance is also very beautiful, dignified and generous, and she looks like she comes from a big family. The image of a well-educated lady.
The most talked-about thing is her character, she turned out to be a peerless shake M! It's the kind of girl who is bullied the more she is bullied, and the more she is beaten, the happier she becomes!!!!
This, this, this...... Such a girl is simply invincible!
Smart, beautiful, versatile, good family, good character. Such a woman...... It's just that I can't find one of the best among millions of people.
So...... Why should such a superb woman come to be an idol?
If the current AKB is the super AKB in a few years, at least there is something attractive here, but what is the current AKB? Came here to select. Except for the amateurs who have no acting experience at all, there is only a group of losers who have been eliminated from various places.
The current idol is not a master in the 80s, the eldest lady of the Mita family, why did she come to the Akihabara Theater. Dancing to the dead fat otaku? Zhou Xiao tried his best and couldn't think of the reason.
Putting down Mita Yurika's information, Zhou Xiao picked up another information about Kiriko Takemura.
Kiriko Takemura, 13 years old. Coming from Tokyo, if you talk about her looks alone, this girl may only get "ordinary", "no surprises" and the like, she will be popular, but her future popularity actually has nothing to do with her appearance, personality, singing skills and performance, and what really makes her popular is the so-called Harajuku trend she represents.
Zhou Xiao is a man, he doesn't know anything about the Shibuya system, the Harajuku system, all he knows is that this girl suddenly became popular after seven or eight years, she was wearing strange and bright clothes, picking simple dances that people couldn't understand, singing electronic music songs with low requirements for singing skills, and then ...... swept the entertainment industry like a whirlwind, collected a lot of money, and even performed in various large venues, held dome concerts, and was a very famous generation of fashionistas in Japan.
Compared with the incomprehensible selection of Mita Yurika in the front, Zhou Xiao, who was holding the information of Kiriko Takemura, fell into another kind of entanglement, this girl, signed it by herself, is it useful?
This girl is indeed successful, but if she just gets her, it is impossible to succeed, her success depends more on planning, which is this era.
The most important job of this girl, who is called Peng Weiwei in Chinese food because of the homonym in her singing, should be her job as a model for several fashion magazines, which may not be the most profitable, but it brings her the most opportunities and fame.
It can be said that without the promotion of these magazines, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to become a super artist like the Harajuku fashion master.
And for several magazines, if the person they push is not Peng Weiwei and replaced by someone else, this person may not be as successful as Peng Weiwei but not too bad, it can be said that Peng Weiwei and several magazines are complementary to each other, without Peng Weiwei, the people who launched several magazines may just be ordinary models like everyone before, and for Peng Weiwei herself, the promotion behind several magazines is the biggest reason why she can succeed, if there is no promotion from magazines, she may not be able to get to her current position at all.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Xiao is worried, Zhou Xiao knows very well that even if he lets Peng Weiwei join his AKB, it is impossible for him to push this girl into the future fashion leader by himself, as for signing her and then recommending her to the magazines she participated in in her previous life? The magazine is not an idiot, there are its own people who don't push, push you a company's signed artist, even if it becomes popular in the end, the magazine won't get anything. Therefore, for magazines, they are usually more inclined to push their own companies to discover and train models, as for the agency to recommend, unless the person himself has a certain ability or popularity, and can bring topicality after signing the contract, the magazine company will also be very cautious when signing people.
For such Peng Weiwei, Zhou Xiao couldn't think of any reason to launch her and make her popular for a while, no way, the current AZX is because of the boss. There has never been a lot of contact with these magazines, and the only way to say that the only way is to wait for Peng Weiwei to be old enough, and then move her partly to other places that have a better relationship with magazines, or simply a subsidiary company of magazines, so that it is possible to let this girl embark on that road to success from scratch.
Zhou Xiao, who thought about it for a long time, finally decided to accept these two people, he didn't have the narrow-mindedness of "what I can't get is something that others don't want to get", but he also knows that the benefits can't be taken by him alone, which is why AZX signed an actress. signed the reason why the two main Horikita Maki and Aragaki Yui were signed, because even if Zhou Xiao tried his best to dig up all the so-called four pillars to the company, and then dig up those who will be popular in the future in history, such as Kitagawa Keiko and Ishihara Satomi, no one will push other companies, and his own company will be invincible.
In the final analysis, there are so many resources in the entertainment industry, and there are only a few Japanese dramas every quarter, such a huge cake. If you want to occupy it all, you can only be attacked by the crowd in the end, and as a rule-breaker, you will be completely expelled from the vanity fair of the entertainment industry.
After this decision is made, the finalists for the second selection of AKB Phase II students are basically determined.
Another Zhou Xiao is very happy. This time, there was no situation where someone did not come to participate like the previous first-term students, plus Yuko Oshima who Zhou Xiao personally found, seventeen girls who would have been selected as second-term students all appeared in the list of applications, so next. In addition, Zhou Xiao's crazy choice problem appeared, Zhou Xiao was interested in recruiting AKB, but there were at least five people who were not second-stage students in their previous lives. These five people are Miyu Dawson, who will become a model in the future, with a childish face and big breasts, and she is also very good at singing, but Ai Shinozaki, who is not half popular because she has not had a good way of development, the sister of Tomomi Kawanishi, who has good ability and looks very cute, as well as Mita Yurika and Kiriko Takemura.
If these five people are all admitted to the second phase of the students, then how many people should be eliminated in the original second phase of the students?
Or do you just give up one or two of these five?
In the group of five people outside the second phase of the students, the next three Kawanishi Riyin, Mita Yurika and Takemura Kiriko are basically certain to enter AKB, since Zhou Xiao has already decided, there is no reason to repeat it again because of such a trivial matter as the quota, what really makes Zhou Xiao entangled is the first two.
Dawson Miyu is now 17 years old, although this age is the golden age of idols, but this girl is not particularly developed in the future in terms of ability, although she debuted, there are not many places worth pushing, Zhou Xiao is worried, if she stays with her, the future result will be good or bad, and it is possible to lose money instead.
And another person, Ai Shinozaki, is now 14 years old, which is very good, and has very good potential, but it is because her "potential" is too much that Zhou Xiao is worried, AKB48 is not without that kind of fleshy photo actress role, but such roles in a team like AKB are all supporting roles and unpushed types, Zhou Xiao is a little worried that the current Shinozaki Ai is only fourteen years old and will definitely not be able to take that route, but in a few years, As she matures, she will begin to unleash her charm and boobs, and it will not be easy to change her style and role when the time comes.
"Do you still sign her to the AZX Arts Club like Nana Ozaki did, and give her the title of temporary akb at most?" Zhou Xiao thought.
"No, she's too young, and even if she becomes a temporary AKB at this age, she can't become an instant combat force, so if you really want to recruit her, there will only be one job for her, and that is to calm down and slowly train her, until she is trained to be an artist who is strong enough to be independent, and then let her graduate." Zhou Xiao decided in his heart.
In the end, Zhou Xiao still decided on the plan, if there are no other problems, Miyu Dawson among the five people will be given up by Zhou Xiao and the other four people will be selected, as for the people replaced by these four people, they will be very sorry for the people who should have stayed in AKB, and the four people who have been expelled from AKB by Zhou Xiao in his heart are Ayako Uemura, Yu Imai, Ayana Takada and ...... Natsuki Sato!
In the second phase of AKB, the first three people who were eliminated by Zhou Xiao have nothing to say, the three girls are the kind of members who left AKB early and did not leave much impression in the eyes of the world, and Natsuki Sato after the three is different.
According to Zhou Xiao's thoughts, she felt that the last place that could be eliminated was mainly generated from three people, among which in addition to Sato Natsuki, the other two were Hayano Kaoru and Matsubara Natsumi.
Strictly speaking. Zhou Xiao's impression of these three people is not very sufficient, this is also no way, he can't know everyone, the impression of these three people in his heart is only Sato Natsuki's good mind, Hayano Kaoru is one of the three Lori, and Matsubara Natsumi's dancing is very good.
So, why did Zhou Xiao leave the other two and give up Natsuki Sato?
Among the three, Hayano Kaoru is actually the first to graduate, and this is actually a girl who is a little different from TeamK's genki sports style. Hayano Kao, Ono Mei Reina and Okuzhen Nami, the so-called Yuan K three Lori, are one of the few girls in Group K who take the traditional idol style route, coupled with their age, the three of them have become very special but important members of Group K, and they can almost be regarded as members of Group K idols.
And Matsubara Natsumi, because of his age, in order to distinguish himself from Hirashima Natsumi in Group A. In the backward group, she will be called "Da Xia Hai", Da Xia Hai is a famous idol in group K who dances better, although this Da Xia Hai didn't get too many opportunities, but it's better to dance alone. Zhou Xiao really wanted to leave her behind, even if she couldn't come out in the future, it would be a good job to teach the juniors.
And what about Natsuki Sato? The things she can bring to AKB are not so many in Zhou Xiao's opinion, since this is the case. Although I don't want to, it's better to give up on her first.
The day after deciding on the candidate, the second selection of AKB students began.
Same as last audition. The second selection process was conducted in parallel with the video call and the interview.
In this selection, the total number of applicants was more than 4,000 more than the previous selection, and the total number exceeded 15,000, and the number of people who were finally notified to enter the second selection was more than 170 people, which can be regarded as a large elimination rate, Zhou Xiao is ready to select about 60 people among these people to participate in the final selection.
The interview was no different from the previous first session, from the process to the final selection, which can be said to be step-by-step.
If there is only one thing, what is the difference between surprise and curiosity, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, it should be in this Mita Yurijia.
The 19-year-old Mita Yurika was asked by Zhou Xiao to enter the second round of selection with his prestige, and most of the others in AKZ, including Yasusu Akimoto, felt that this girl was too old, and it would be very good if she was nineteen years old in a mature team, but now AKB is obviously in a state of infancy, even if she is selected, she may not have too much time in the team, is it really necessary to pay her precious resources to cultivate for such a person?
Zhou Xiao understood their thoughts, but Zhou Xiao also had his own ideas.
People including Yasuya Akimoto don't know what Tourika Mita will achieve in the future, if they knew that this girl could be called the female anchor of Fuji TV in the future, I'm afraid they wouldn't think like now, Fuji TV, in terms of status, is almost the most powerful TV station among the five private stations, and the status of the female anchor of Fuji TV is higher than that of the other four other TV stations!
In Zhou Xiao's opinion, even if Mita Yurika doesn't stay in AKB for a long time, or even leaves in half a year or a year, she will still be branded with AKB, and after this brand, it may be difficult for her to separate from AKB in the future, as long as Zhou Xiao and the operation are good enough for her, she will not exclude sharing the same stage with AKB in the future, then she will become a very powerful AKB in the anchor circle and Fuji TV.
Of course, there is another reason that Zhou Xiao is really curious, and Mita Yurijia is ...... Why come to AKB?
With this idea, at this day's interview, Zhou Xiao can be said to be quite perfunctory After interviewing more than 20 girls, he finally looked forward to beckoning to the staff again and asking him to summon the next interviewer, and this interviewer was naturally Mita Yurijia, the girl who was very much expected by Zhou Xiao.
Before this girl entered the room and started the interview, Zhou Xiao and Yasu Akimoto had already interviewed, including Akimoto Saiga and Miyazawa Sae, two members, it can be said that AKZ and Akimoto Yasushi are full of praise.
But when Mita Yurika said: "I'm sorry", after pushing the door and entering the interview room, Zhou Xiao even felt that many people around him took a breath of cold air!
No way, this girl...... Excellent!
It's not that Mita is beautiful, but she has an aura on her body, which is called a star aura, which usually takes a period of time to mix in the entertainment industry before it can be expressed, but now, Mita Yurika actually has such an aura herself, as long as she stands there, looking at her straight back and cute face, it will naturally make people suspect that she must be a star!
Girls who are born with this kind of aura, after being trained in the professional entertainment industry, what kind of light will bloom!? (To be continued......)
