So...... What is the new single that Zhou Xiao wants to record?

After filming, the time has come to May 2oo3, and it is about to enter the summer, last summer, Soccer City was the most concerned thing in Japan, this summer, there is neither the World Cup nor the Olympics, what will everyone pay attention to?

Of course, the only thing that everyone pays attention to is "Koshien", and the author doesn't know much about Koshien (huh?). But I still know that this event is held every summer, and for Zhou Xiao, of course, he didn't know anything about Koshien before he crossed over, but after crossing over, the eighteen-year-old boy had a lot of memories about Koshien and about the bloody support of summer, these memories Zhou Xiao is a little difficult to understand, but there is no doubt that summer, Koshien, that is definitely a national festival for the Japanese, not only for high school students, but also for junior high school students, and even those middle-aged and old.

Through the past three years, Zhou Xiao has actually experienced three times about Koshiyuan, and he is about to experience the fourth time, and every summer, when he goes to the TV station to record a program, and goes to the senior's room to say hello before the opening, he often encounters the situation that the agent whispers that his voice must be soft, why should the voice be soft? Ten ** is the seniors watching Koshien in the room.

Not to mention those Mesozoic generations, even some old-timers such as "Xiaofuting" and "Spring Breeze Stops" will also hold the TV and watch it.

Being able to get a kick in such a huge and important event should be regarded as the dream of all Japanese artists, and this time, Zhou Xiao finally decided to make a move.

He has at least two of the most suitable cheering songs for sports, and because of the time constraints. This time, Zhou Xiao took out what it was supposed to sell in 2oo4. Yuzu's "Bridge of Glory".

The original date of this song was July 2oo4, and you can see this time that this song is going to the big event of the Athens Olympics, and this song is indeed taking this opportunity to become popular, first, after this song was sold, it was selected as the formula song for NHK's live broadcast of the Athens Olympics, especially when Japan won the gymnastics men's team championship at that time. You know, although Japan's gymnastics is very powerful, but compared with China, Russia and the United States, it has been in a weak position, this time they won the gymnastics men's team championship that the whole country was jubilant, and in the process of broadcasting, NHK's commentator described the way of Hiroshi Tomita in the game when commenting on the horizontal bar competition: "The parabola that stretches like a crescent moon is like a bridge to glory."

The power of language can sometimes be amazing. This beautiful poetic description quickly became popular all over Japan, and finally won this year's buzzword award!

And Yuzu, with the popularity of this song, also won the 26th place on the 2oo4 singles annual list, this number is low, who made it the last glory of the singer era, but Yuzu will definitely not make less money. Even if they make less money in terms of CD royalties, at least they can make a lot of money on media use and karaoke, because this song is so popular.

changed the time and background, Zhou Xiao didn't know if this song would give birth to such a famous evaluation, but he also had an advantage. Zhou Xiao is not just a singer now, in the eyes of ordinary people. He is an all-rounder with both idol temperament and powerful ability, and he is involved in almost all directions in the entertainment industry, which makes his meals all over Japan, and many of these people may buy a copy of Zhou Xiao's even if they never buy a music CD.

In this way, his energy when he received attention and publicity was difficult to match by a pure singer like Yuzu, who rarely appeared on TV even when he released singles.

After Zhou Xiao arrived at the recording studio, he practiced the basic skills first, and howled everywhere in the studio alone, while several music teachers sighed at the song samples he came to the east first: "It's really unfair, we have been making music all our lives, and he doesn't have much ** for singing like that, maybe this single is purely to make money, but such a guy can write such a work, but we can't write such a song in our lifetime." ”

"Yes, every time I get his songs, I get jealous, that melody, that taste, how can it be so good, and many songs have completely different flavors, as if he didn't do it at all, I actually want to ask him what he thinks in his head, whether there is such a disease as multiple personality schizophrenia."

Zhou Xiao didn't notice that a few teachers were saying bad things about him, but he was still pulling his neck to practice his throat, and he had to do his best to come over before he could actually start recording songs.

In the process of Zhou Xiao's busy songs, "The Man Who Can't Get Married" also began to gradually ignite its own craze.

With the broadcast of the ninth episode, not only did there be more discussions, but the ratings numbers were also beautiful, the ratings of the ninth episode were 19.8%, only barely entering the important dividing line of 2o%, and this number also ranked first among the Japanese dramas in the same week, and its numbers are far from being comparable to other TV dramas that are still hovering in the low ebb of ratings in other periods.

With high ratings and excellent evaluations, everyone can feel it, and the ratings of this drama in the tenth episode must have broken 2O.

Such high ratings and evaluations also made Fuji TV unable to sit still.

They quickly sent someone to the recording studio to find Zhou Xiao.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiao who came out of the shed held the water cup and poured it violently, what he drank was not any kind of drink sold on the market, but it was specially prepared for him by Sister Sakai Spring Water, which is said to be a special throat protection drink from his family, of course, Zhou Xiao didn't believe in this kind of thing, and there was no singing person at home in Sister Quanshui, how could there be a drink to protect her throat, so this drink, the biggest possibility was that she got it from someone else, and judging from her reluctance to tell Zhou Xiao, this person ...... Probably her ex-boyfriend or something.

Of course, it's good that everyone knows this kind of thing, Zhou Xiao won't ask, and Sakai Spring Water just doesn't know about it at all.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao's "The Man Who Can't Get Married" is really exciting, and the ratings are climbing steadily. I'm here to ask on behalf of Fujitai if you're interested in making a sequel or SP? ”

Sequel or SP? Zhou Xiao became interested.

In fact, the original experience of the drama "The Man Who Can't Get Married" was quite strange. Originally, the final return of this drama achieved a high rating of 22%, in the era of 2oo6, when the Japanese drama industry has been affected by the Internet, this number is already very powerful, such a good rating, it stands to reason that with the character of a capitalist, it is absolutely necessary to squeeze out the last penny of the work.

But what is surprising is that Fujitai really didn't do any sequel to this drama, including sequels or SPs. None of them were done!

Zhou Xiao initially wondered if the screenwriters thought the final ending was too good, so it was a bit troublesome to write a sequel?

But after really participating in the production of zuò, he knew, because of the trouble or something, it is impossible to ignore the possibility of hundreds of millions of income, for the Japanese, they do not have a "must pass, at least not inferior to the first one" for the sequel like Chinese and American movies, basically just take a script and make a small sequel. As long as the original work is strong, it can get very good ratings. But there really isn't anything in this drama, nothing.

As Zhou Xiao, he naturally has no pressure to shoot, but at the same time, he must admit that he has little time. So he said: "It's okay to do it, it's very good, but I can only give you an outline, the real script needs someone else to write, and finally the script can be signed with my name." ”

"Is that a sequel or an SP?" The Fujidai staff asked.

"Sequel sp can do. And for a sequel, I could even write an outline for several quarters. It's like a trap, but I also have a time problem, so if you end up with this plan, I can write the script myself, but I can only give you the script for the second season, not all of it. ”

Zhou Xiao's idea is very simple, isn't it the second season, although I haven't thought about it yet, but I can change this drama into the Japanese version of "The Big Bang Theory" and even some other American dramas or British dramas and Japanese dramas, anyway, this drama is not far from comedy, so I just make it into a series of comedies.

"That ...... in terms of investment"

"Investment? If you invest, we aZx must account for at least 5o%, and the income must also be 5o%, and tell the boss of your station, this is my bottom line, if you really want to do a series, this is the most basic one, and then come and talk to us after agreeing to this one. Zhou Xiao said quite toughly.

In fact, he really wants to make this drama into a series, make it into a series, find other screenwriters to make it for a long time, Zhou Xiao can collect money only as a capitalist, and aZx also has a long-term fixed income, of course, which is excellent.

But of course, it is necessary to ensure the income of making a series, and if it is less than 5o%, it is a bit unnecessary for aZx to be time-consuming and laborious.

"Okay, I see, I'll go back and report on this." The staff in front of Zhou Xiao said.

Sending away the people who were talking about business, Zhou Xiao continued to practice songs, and just like that, he worked to practice songs and practice songs, and two weeks passed quickly, and his songs were finally done.

Because of being in being, Zhou Xiao's songs will bring some rock fans in, and this time it's almost the same, although this song is really not very suitable for rock fans, but it is still added with a touch of rock temperament, and Zhou Xiao also sang very enjoyable in the process of recording the song, it is undeniable that this is indeed a good song......

After the recording was completed, a small part of the song was immediately sent to various TV stations and radio stations, aZx's promotion of this song has actually started for a while, but because the recording of the song has not been completed, nothing has been leaked, and what the outside world knows is actually just the news that Zhou Xiao is finally going to release a new single after more than a year.

The short board "Bridge of Glory" got the opportunity to be broadcast on major radio stations that night, and it will take some time for the TV station to come out, because Zhou Xiao has to go to the road to pV.

Zhou Xiao, who recorded mV, pV or something, actually didn't have any interest at all, he wasn't a girl, and he didn't need to show his beauty, not to mention that this was a song for athletes to support, so his method was also very simple, he directly threw the job of screenwriter to Yuichi Fukuda, who followed him as the assistant director of a whole TV series.

"Make an mV script to come out, my appearance time can't be higher than 1o% of the whole song, and the rest of the time I fill it with sports." Zhou Xiao said.

"Sports? Does this sports picture need to have a theme? Yuichi Fukuda asked.

"Isn't this nonsense. Of course, you want a theme, and you didn't listen to my song? If you listened. How is it possible to ask such a question? "Yuichi Fukuda is now half of Zhou Xiao's apprentice, so he doesn't have anything to do with scolding, even if Yuichi Fukuda is actually a lot older than Zhou Xiao.

Knowing that Zhou Xiao is going to release a new single, the most excited people are, of course, the fans, since his debut, Zhou Xiao has not produced many songs, but the whole of Japan knows that this is a boutique. Even now, when the Japanese record market has begun to shrink, the outside world is predicting the sales of its singles, but although the number of predictions is more and less, it is basically centered around this one center, which is one million.

Zhou Xiaohe, can he still get a million singles?

On the one hand, his popularity like a king and the reputation of excellent quality of every order. On the other hand, there is the shrinking record industry market and the reality that he has not released a single for a year.

Although his popularity has actually been maintained quite well over the past year, high popularity does not mean that he sells well, in the eyes of most people, Zhou Xiao's popularity is the so-called pan-popularity, why do you think so? It's actually quite simple. How do you cultivate die-hard rice? Open 1ive, hold concerts, hold handshakes and fan meetings, this is the cultivation method of die-hard rice, most of the die-hard rice is to watch your performance. I pay for it to get close to my idol, but these things ...... Zhou Xiao, he didn't have any of them. Although he has a singer identity and also released singles, but he almost never holds concerts, and there is no handshake meeting fans or anything, even the singer's almost necessary single promotion period is also the lowest grade, the audience will not see him, he still has a lot of opportunities to appear on TV, but among so many opportunities, there are few related to single promotion, and even he himself does not take publicity seriously, when he released a single last year, he only mentioned it a little in his title show, If a singer has such a good opportunity as Zhou Xiao, or even controls the show, it is almost impossible to let go of this opportunity, I am afraid that he will be eager to do a few SP special programs, and only a guy like Zhou Xiao with a "big family" will take the opportunity seriously.

For a while, Zhou Xiao's new single began to be discussed on the Internet and even ordinary audiences, and the new single sample released on the radio was only about 3o seconds, but this did not prevent the audience from hearing that this would be a very energetic and powerful song, and soon, more information about this song was revealed to the media by aZx.

"This is a song written by Zhou Xiao to Koshien, the song is full of inspiring power, Zhou Xiao believes that this summer, the audience across Japan will also feel the strength and courage brought by this song while watching Koshien."

In his speech, Zhou Xiao seemed to be full of confidence, and directly used the word "believe" instead of "hope" and "want", which are weaker words.

The sale time of the single is set for July 8, which is about a month away from the start of the Koshien competition, which is just the right time to make the single popular without making the single out of breath.

This is actually not Zhou Xiao's idea, but at this time, many singers of all sizes will do this, even if they don't do it, many singers will try to sell a one-dimensional single to see if they can bring better sales to themselves. What if one is not careful, and his song becomes popular in Koshien, right?

When Zhou Xiao recorded the single, the TV series he had just completed was also being broadcast, and the ninth episode was almost 2o% of the fire, and in the tenth episode, "The Man Who Can't Get Married" finally crossed that hurdle.

21.7%, 2% ratings growth does not seem to be big, but this number represents that this drama has broken through the threshold of 2o%, it can be said that at the level of 2o% ratings, it is not easy to increase every o.1% ratings.

The threshold of 2o% can be regarded as the "wall of masterpieces" of Japanese TV dramas, over this number, unless you are with absolute popularity but you have received a big bad movie with only the first episode of 2o%, otherwise, there is no doubt that this work is a good work, especially if the last episode has passed 2o% ratings, then the gold content is even higher, as for the non-first episode and the last episode, it has passed 2o%? Then the historical status of this drama is undoubtedly higher, Zhou Xiao basically people want to see the ending and see the result, and the ratings of the regular episodes are higher than the last episode, he has almost never seen it.

As for the single's promotional work? Just like many people expected, Zhou Xiao, who finished recording the song, really didn't care about the propaganda work, and soon began to devote himself to the next job, but what is a little surprising is that his job turned out to be a confidential job, and the confidentiality coefficient is extremely high, even the most well-informed reporters can't find out where he went and what he did, the only thing he knows is that he did this work for 27 hours TV.
