Chapter 405: Zhou Xiao's has an urban legend

Time went back to a few days ago, when Maeda was filming in Zhou Xiao's crew.

That night, Zhou Xiao and Maeda chatted in the room for a while, so that Maeda finally relaxed, looking at Maeda's state, Zhou Xiao decided to strike while the iron was hot, he said: "That's it, if you can finish filming as usual tomorrow, I promise you a request, you can ask for anything." ”

"Huh? What are the requirements...... Can it be? Maeda asked.

"That's right." Zhou Xiao nodded.

The so-called any request is actually the most effective way to verify the substantive relationship between two people, if Zhou Xiao is to his best male friend, the other party may say: "Then divide half of the family property with me." ”

But what if it's Zhou Xiao's relationship with Maeda? It was impossible for the girl to really ask Zhou Xiao for half of the family property, and she wouldn't even talk about money, so what she said was: "That...... I want Brother Zhou Xiao to support us when we perform? ”

"Support? Haven't I been supporting? Zhou Xiao was surprised.

"It's not Brother Zhou Xiao, your current state, Brother Zhou Xiao, you are too much like a person in the audience now, what I want to see is your cooking side, I want to see your ...... mix! ”

"Huh?" Zhou Xiao was a little embarrassed.

MIX, a way to support idols since the 80s, otaku shout and cheer regularly to the rhythm of the idols' singing on stage, which can add a huge sense of unity to the entire venue, as if performing together on and off stage.

This thing...... Usually only the most ordinary meals will be cooked, not to mention Zhou Xiao, even if it is other people with a little fame or social status, even if this person really loves a certain idol, it is impossible to shout and shout like a group of otaku with a group of ordinary people.

Of course, it's not that artists can't do this, some people can do this, such as Ryota Yamashato of Nanhai Sweetheart, when he cooks idol rice. If he was in the audience, he would definitely have no sense of disobedience when he shouted.

But if this person is replaced by Zhou Xiao......

No, no, no, this is too exaggerated, Zhou Xiao is now a guy who can be on an equal footing with several bigwigs in the Japanese entertainment industry, although he is young, but even if he sits and talks with Tamori Kitano Takeshi and others, there is no sense of disobedience when chatting, such a person, sitting in the audience, playing MIX like an otaku? Maeda really gave Zhou Xiao a big problem.

"Yes...... May I? Maeda asked with some trepidation. In fact, there is a reason why Maeda made this request, in the eyes of the girls, Zhou Xiao, who is a person who makes zuò, is good at everything, but the distance from everyone is a little far, in fact, they are complete nonsense, it is absolutely inch-inch, if Zhou Xiao is replaced by Qiu Yuanyasu, there will not even be an exchange of this Cheng dù now, so to speak. It is precisely because Zhou Xiao is so close to the AKB girls that they have the impression that they are friends with each other and want to get closer to Zhou Xiao.

There are many such thoughts, and the girls naturally have a desire to get closer to Zhou Xiao. The idea of wanting him to be like himself.

How to let Zhou Xiao get along with them without any shelf? What does Zhou Xiao have to do to make people feel that he is with them?

One of the girls' thoughts was that it would be nice if Zhou Xiao could also support themselves like the rice, not as a maker to support them behind them. It's really as a meal, to enjoy the performances that I like them.

And the best way to see Zhou Xiao like this. Of course, it's the things that let Zhou Xiao really cook and do, right?

Let Zhou Xiao support them like the most ordinary meal, shout MIX, and do what otaku will do, such Zhou Xiao is the brother Zhou Xiao that everyone wants to see.

So, Atsuko Maeda boldly put forward her own idea.

Zhou Xiao and Maeda didn't tell anyone about this, the two of them worked as usual, rehearsed as usual, until Zhou Xiao returned to Tokyo and sat in the middle of the AKB theater, and still no one knew what Zhou Xiao would do today.

The AKB show on the stage began, and it didn't take long for the A4 performance to start, but don't underestimate the professionalism of the AKB Diners, on the night of the first day of the A4 Concert, the Diners had already completed all the mix parts of the A4 Concert, and now in the AKB Theater, an average of 240 out of 250 people are very frequent.

As the title song of the A4 performance, "In Love" is a very cheerful and relaxing song, and it is also a very good song when the audience interacts.

MIX is actually artistic, just follow the MIX tutorial and embed the members' names and programs into the song "tiger!fire!cyber!" It's just the beginning, for AKB's songs, this kind of MIX is just the most discordant or lacking thing, and the real good things of MIX only exist in a few of AKB's songs.

In the opening song of A4, the actors on the stage cooperate very well with the audience.

At the beginning, the incendiary lyrics such as "yousay, I love you" and "Isay more and more" are incendiary, and it is easy to arouse the emotions of the audience, and shout lyrics such as "I love you" with the movements and gestures of the girls.

It's the same today, the girls who came on stage in the dark jumped up the moment the lights and music sounded, and sang energetically.

It's just that today, as soon as they sang a sentence or two, the girls' voices immediately became worse, and the sixteen girls were choked by the sudden "thunder" of the sudden incident, and even their voices were a little out of tune.

In fact, not only the girls on the stage, but also many of the people in the audience were also frightened and looked towards one person one after another.

What did they see? Kindness...... What they saw was, of course, Zhou Xiao, the Zhou Xiao who was doing the same actions and shouting the same lines as everyone else.

"Old ...... Boss, what are you doing!! "Not to mention AKB and the audience, even the cameras of conventional photography on the side couldn't help but almost throw away the camera after discovering Zhou Xiao, and after a period of shaking, these cameras finally caught this rare picture.

It's just that the picture isn't obvious, and the unedited video doesn't show you who is who, so everyone looks like one in the picture. Everyone is cheering along with the singing, if it were an outsider, I am afraid that there would be a superstar in this group of meals.

Zhou Xiao's MIX is quite proficient, but does anyone care about this? No one cares what he looks like anymore, and the question that everyone cares about is, why did Zhou Xiao, the great god, play such a play?

The audience and performers, who are probably Atsuko Maeda in the center of the stage, are not surprised.

Not surprising, though. Maeda was very happy, and Zhou Xiao could see unparalleled happiness in her eyes, because among the people present, she was the only one who knew what was going on, and among all the people present, she and him had a common secret.

At the end of the three songs, the girls' performances came to an end, and they began to prepare for the unilude song while introducing themselves, but before introducing themselves. The girls all started asking a question.

"I think I saw it just now...... Did you see that? Minami Takahashi asked.

"I ...... I saw it too! Mai Oshima said from the side.

"The question is, should we see it?" Mariko Shinoda said.

"Also, do we need to see it, and we don't see it?" Mita Yurika asked.

Regarding Zhou Xiao's strange expression, the girls who didn't know the truth and falsehood just said a few words casually and led the topic elsewhere, because they still didn't know whether they should say Zhou Xiao's behavior or not. So everyone tacitly moved the topic elsewhere, the only exception among these people was Maeda, Zhou Xiao could see that Maeda's eyes when he looked at him at the moment contained too much happiness and flattery.

The more than hour-long show ended quickly. The audience left one by one, but compared to the usual audience at the AKB Theater, the audience left as soon as they left. Many of today's audiences will come to say a few words to Zhou Xiao before leaving, most of these audiences in the past admired or envied Zhou Xiao, and now the audience may have more identification with Zhou Xiao.

This man that everyone envies is indeed the same as them, he is not a dead man, he is a real otaku.

Zhou Xiao also said goodbye to these people with a smile, today's "performance" in the audience made him a lot easier, this is his nature.

After sending off the audience, Zhou Xiao continued to stay in the theater until the voices of the girls came from behind him.

Zhou Xiao knew that he was about to start facing the curiosity of the members.

"Brother Zhou Xiao! You're so good today! ”

"I've never seen anyone play mix and be so handsome!"

"Brother Zhou Xiao, do you suddenly want to open it?"

The girls who ran back to the theater asked in a rambling voice, their faces still full of sweat and flush after the performance, and full of curiosity.

"Actually, this is me, you are what I built, if I don't like you, who can like you?" Zhou Xiao said, he noticed that although Atsuko Maeda also came, she did not fight for the position in front, but stood behind everyone, smiling and watching Zhou Xiao fool the girls.

Zhou Xiao's words to fool the girls were actually what he had thought about yesterday, and after a few words, Zhou Xiao fooled all the girls, and the girls felt that Brother Zhou Xiao was too handsome, and the people who shouted MIX in the past were usually fat and weird stupid otaku, and I had never seen a handsome man like Brother Zhou Xiao shouting this.

After the performance on this day, Zhou Xiao didn't have any communication with Maeda, not that Zhou Xiao didn't want to go over and say a few words: "Look, I did what I promised", it was really that Zhou Xiao had been in a state of being surrounded by girls as long as he was in the theater, and he had no chance to say anything to Maeda, in this case, it was a little inappropriate to even ask Maeda to go out alone.

Seeing that there was really no chance, Zhou Xiao had to leave the theater early, and the girls had to take a shower and go home, and they had been staying in the theater, and it was inconvenient for them to leave before themselves, just like it was inconvenient for employees to get off work before the boss.

There was no video of what Zhou Xiao did in the theater, and the cameras present at that time were only operated by AKB, and AKB naturally would not release this kind of thing without incident.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao's so-called wota art on this day has once again become another urban legend around him, which is spread in the network where AKB rice such as the 2ch underground version is gathered, some people believe it, and some people scoff at it.

Zhou Xiao returned to Tokyo this time, naturally it was impossible for him to simply come to see Maeda's performance. He had another, very, very important thing to do, and that was ...... After several years of operation, AZX Games' minecraft is finally going to sell.

If it were an individual game, it would be impossible to sell it all after it came out for several years, but AZX is such a powerful game that everyone who watched the game grew up in disbelief.

After a few years of release, MC now has a total of 4 million paying subscribers around the world, of which about 2 million have purchased the $5 and 500 versions of MC shortly after it came out, and the remaining 2 million have purchased the $20 and 2,000 yen versions of the official version. In other words, just selling games, AZX sold for 50 million dollars, not only that, unlike the MC who had enough Internet spirit in the previous life, AZX's MC also sold DLC, all kinds of redstone, railroads, and steam in the later life. Modernization and other DLCs were proposed by Zhou Xiao and sold by AZX, and these DLCs also brought a lot of revenue to AZX, and taken together, the overall sales of AZX through guòMC were about 100 million US dollars.

Is it more than 100 million dollars? Actually, it's not much. In 2012, the number of users exceeded 10 million, and by 2013, the company announced that it would only take one year. Their revenue has already reached $100 million, which is not at all comparable to the $100 million that AZX has spent several years getting.

The network environment and the speed of information dissemination in later generations cannot be compared with now, so Zhou Xiao is still very satisfied with the sales of 100 million US dollars in a few years. And Zhou Xiao also knows very well that it is impossible for this game to be too big in his own hands, and he lacks a powerful platform, so the best way is to sell the game, and after a few years of running the game, a suitable buyer finally appeared.

In fact, there is more than one buyer, after Zhou Xiao revealed that he wanted to sell this game, including Sony in Japan, Microsoft in the United States, EA, and even many other large and small game companies have expressed their intention to buy, not to mention these game companies, even many venture capital companies in Japan and the United States have also expressed their intention to buy or invest.

Originally, these manufacturers seemed to have negotiated it, and together they kept the purchase price very low, and the overall price did not even exceed the amount of money that AZX has made so far to operate MC, which is 100 million US dollars, and their statement is that the MC game has been out for several years, and there is no future game left, and it is quite good to give you tens of millions of dollars.

This is pure nonsense, it is bullying Zhou Xiao and AZX for not knowing, if this game has no potential, will you capitalists come around like sharks smelling blood?

As for Zhou Xiao's side, they didn't bother to explain at all, they directly invited people from several companies to come and see the new version they prepared, according to them, what the company sells, in addition to MC, is actually the most important thing is MC2!

This MC2,In fact, there is no difference between minecraft and later generations.,You must know that MC1 in today's world,Limited to the times,There is a big gap between the MC in the picture and the MC of later generations.,After all, the time difference is nearly ten years.,If it weren't for the fact that this game really has nothing to do with the picture.,It's strange that the picture of MC1 can be popular.。

So what about the MC2 that AZX took out now? In the case that the picture is almost the same as the MC of the later generations, many magnificent buildings in the later generations can also be made, and after the building method, it will make people feel very grand and handsome, so Cheng dù's MC2, representatives of several companies looked at each other, and they all had a common idea in their hearts, that is, this game...... From now in 2007, it's no problem to play until 2017, because this is a game where pure players create a zào world, and the game itself is just a platform, what is infinite possibilities and playability, this is the game.

So in an instant, the price reduction alliance couldn't continue, and some companies retreated, knowing very well that the current MC is no longer something they can take over, as for the remaining super companies, every company has become determined to win, you know, what they are buying now, in addition to a genius game, there are four million users who have bought the game, such a large group of paying users, and a larger number of unpaid groups, just these users, is already a very large resource.

The offer quickly doubled from $100 million to $200 million...... 400 million ...... The employees of the AZX game department were excited at the beginning and a little scared later, and finally they were simply numb, and the quotations of various game manufacturers have simply become a string of numbers in their eyes.

In the end, this acquisition that shocked the whole of Japan and even the world finally came to an end, and Microsoft acquired all the copyrights of AZX's "Minecraft" and its sequel at a price of $1 billion after tax. (To be continued......)
