Chapter 558: Guam Shoots MV
After entering May, the pace of the AKB Group has accelerated suddenly, and May is the month before the general election, which is a month in history, in fact, there are relatively few variety shows on AKB members, or in other words, there are relatively few valuable variety shows on AKB members, because most Japanese viewers have not learned much about the members, and even if they want to let the members appear on the show, it is not easy to produce results.
Today's AKB is actually facing a similar problem.,There are very few girls who can really star and get good results.,In this case, even if you reluctantly let the members star in the main project, it's difficult to get success, but it will make people resist AKB.,There is no one who can really try to play an important role in variety shows.,Even if it's Mai Oshima and Kazuko Qin Sa.,Limited time and experience are actually difficult to show that the relationship between Xiàn is too good.。
But...... The key to AKB now is that they have a zuò person with a plug-in.
Facing the biggest opportunity after AKB became popular, Zhou Xiao could be regarded as having exhausted all his strength.
First of all, there is the live broadcast, and there is no way to do live TV broadcasts in the AKB general election today, but it doesn't matter, before the general election, the free live broadcast of the AZXniconico animation video site will be the first large-scale online broadcast of AKB's event.
In fact, for AKB, it is better to broadcast in cinemas across the country than online live broadcast, because live broadcast in cinemas can receive expensive ticket revenue, and live broadcast on the Internet cannot get such a good return for a while, but the influence caused by online live broadcast is obviously greater, and as a Chinese in his bones, Zhou Xiao is still quite thinking about Chinese food, cinema live broadcast, Chinese rice and even rice in other parts of the world can not be seen, so it is better to directly engage in live broadcast, so that the world can see AKB's rice.
But when it comes to making decisions. AKB operations did not give up the movie theater plan in the end, but the final live broadcast support was much less than the number of live broadcasts that were not live, and not only Hong Kong and Taiwan, but even Modu each had a theater planned to broadcast live this time, and the only problem was ...... The application for the theater in Modu has not yet been approved......
In the cinema live broadcast of foreign events and the like, the mainland obviously has not gotten this kind of thing, and the AZX China staff who are responsible for running this matter can be said to be unable to know where to apply if they want to apply. Do you want to apply for a performance by a foreign artist? But there are no foreign artists present, and it is said to be a performance, but it has not yet been decided whether to sing and dance at the time of the real audition, is it also a performance?
Since it's not a show. Is it a movie screening? That's even more troublesome, the number of movies that the country can introduce each year is limited, do you want to introduce a movie in a movie theater and introduce it to you, and earn hundreds of thousands of yuan at the box office?
So AZX didn't know what to do for a while.
In the end, it was Zhou Xiao who said: "In a few days, I will go to the World Expo for a few days to see if I can run this thing down." ”
The effect of this sentence was extremely obvious, and all AZX staff were at ease. With Zhou Xiao's influence, if he can't run down, it will be even more impossible for others to run down this matter.
At the beginning of May, the World Expo opened. However, Zhou Xiao will not attend the opening of the World Expo, which has nothing to do with him, and AKB's appearance with him is also in mid-May instead of now, and it is now in early May. Zhou Xiao and the AKB girls left Tokyo and came to Guam, where the AKB girls were to shoot the music video for the new single "Ponytail and Hair Ring" and record various features.
The single "Ponytail and Hair Ring" was made up of AKB's selection team. Among them, Atsuko Maeda, Mariko Takahashi Minami Shinoda and Yona Kojima in Group A, Yuko Oshima, Tomomi Itano, Mai Oshima, Jurina Matsui in Group K, and Reina Ono in Group B, Mayu Watanabe, Airi Suzuki and Yuki Kashiwagi A total of 12 people are almost undoubted.
In history, AKB was a selection group selected by one person from each of the three teams and one person from SKE (Jurina), but in today's AKB, Zhou Xiao is quite struggling when he looks at the list in his hand.
Li Jun in Group A and Rino Fingerhara, Aki Takashiro, Minami Mine Kishishi in Group K, Sae Miyazawa in Group B, Tomomi Kawanishi, Miho Miyazaki, and even SKE have ended their part-time work, but their popularity has already broken out, and Reina Matsui, who represents the exciting role of "Malu Suga Gakuen" on behalf of the battle for his fame, what reason do these people have to give up?
In a few years, AKB will rack their brains when selecting members for the single, and in the end, it can only expand to a 32-member selection lineup, but the current AKB is not capable of doing so, and the number of 16-member selection team is already very high......
Looking at the names in the information, and then thinking about the appearance of the girls in his impression, Zhou Xiao finally had to make a choice.
Takashiro Aki, Miho Miyazaki, Li Jun, and Reina Matsui became the four members of the single "Ponytail and Hair Ring"!
And the reason why Zhou Xiao chose these four people to be selected is also very simple, because these four people are the most beautiful among the remaining selection groups of AKB at this stage, or the most impressive just by looking at their faces!
There is a reason why Zhou Xiaohui only looks at his face, that is, the single "Ponytail and Hair Ring", it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the single with the highest "appearance" among AKB's previous singles!
Atsuko Maeda, who is completely full of power, Yuko Oshima, who is delicate and cute, Mariko Shinoha, who is tall, Yona Kojima, who is a little meaty, and Mayu Watanabe and Airi Suzuki, who have just come out of the Lori period and completely show the beauty of the girl...... Plus Yuki Kashiwagi, Tomomi Itano, Aki Takagi, Reina Ono...... Even Mai Oshima, today's AKB can only be described in one sentence: "Flawless and flawless, you can't understand how such an idol group was born!" ”
This sentence is not false at all, the selection lineup of this single, which was already beautiful in the previous life, has now added Airi Suzuki, Mai Oshima, Li Jun and Reina Matsui, who were not originally in the Yuan Bar this time, and the corresponding decrease is Siei Kitahara, Sae Miyazawa, Minami Mine and Tomomi Kawanishi. Zhou Xiao even has confidence, even compared with the so-called golden ten people of Good Morning Niang, this lineup is not inferior or even stronger, it can be said that the essence of AKB in the past few years, coupled with Zhou Xiao's management of the group and the use of various means to get it, those people who remained, looking at these sixteen people, Zhou Xiao's chest was full of pride, this is an AKB48 that is more perfect than his previous life, this AKB. He will create a dynasty that is stronger than his previous life.
According to Zhou Xiao's original meaning, it is best for the AKB girls to take a day off after arriving in Guam before filming the MV, but unfortunately this is difficult to do, the girls are so busy now, it is already rare to be able to take a few days out of such a busy time to shoot the MV in Guam, and now there is no time to play for the girls.
So the final schedule is still as hard as Zhou Xiao's previous life, he arrived in Guam at ten o'clock the night before, took the car to the hotel and went to bed at half past ten, but this. Atsuko Maeda arrived at half past zero, and the girl's work is really inseparable, in fact, the girl should have arrived at half past two in the morning. The two hours that Zhou Xiao won were waiting for her on the Tokyo plane, and finally sent her on his own plane.
Even if it is AKB, which Zhou Xiao loves very much, I am afraid that there are very few people who can get this treatment.
So. Not only Maeda, but even Zhou Xiao arrived at half past twelve in the morning.
In fact, Zhou Xiao simply carried the girl to the hotel.
When I was flying to Guam from Tokyo. Before the plane took off, Zhou Xiao knew that Maeda hadn't slept well for two whole days, and in these two days, the girl was either working or on the way to work, and the whole sleep time probably wouldn't exceed two hours.
Hearing that the girl was in this state, Zhou Xiao didn't say much, he just silently made a recliner for her on the plane as a bed, and poured milk.
After the girl got on the plane, Zhou Xiao handed over the milk and said, "Drink it, sleep well and rest." ”
After receiving the milk handed by Zhou Xiao, Maeda's heart is also warm, there may be a lot of bosses in the world who will send him on a special plane, after all, he is now the boss's signboard, but he will prepare milk for himself on the plane, and there are probably not many bosses who make the bed.
The complete relaxation caused the girl to fall into a deep sleep very quickly, and she slept so well that even the discomfort of the plane landing did not wake her.
Zhou Xiao, who was staying by the girl's side when the plane landed, saw that she didn't wake up, so he simply tried not to wake her up, but directly picked up the blanket on the girl's body, and carried her into the car rented by the company in Guam, all the way to the hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Maeda still didn't wake up, so Zhou Xiao took the elevator to the room with her, and finally put the girl on the bed, and asked Li Chun, who was in one room, to help the girl take off her coat later, and then returned to her room.
Zhou Xiao, who returned to the room, even had time to think of the AKB Guam exterior scene he had seen in his previous life, when Shinoda Kojima and other members were called up very early to get up and make a whole person, after arriving at Maeda's room, he found that the girl didn't even take off her clothes, and she didn't take off her makeup, so she curled up and lay on the bed and fell asleep deeply, and now I know that it's no wonder it's like this, it turns out that Maeda had such a hard job the day before, if it wasn't for her own plane, she would have to get to Guam at half past two, and it was only a few hours from half past two to six in the morning, It's understandable that girls don't get enough sleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xiao finally got up, and at this time, the girls had already drawn dozens of minutes of clothing and were ready to start the day's work.
Although he can't rest and not work on the first day as Zhou Xiao thought, Zhou Xiao, who fully thinks about the girls, still wants to make a compromise with AZX operations, and the first half of the girls' first day of work has been modified to be more casual, shooting various features of this single and TV shows, and will only start shooting various shots in the MV in the afternoon.
As a behind-the-scenes staff, Zhou Xiao spent most of his time hiding in a corner to watch the girls' shooting, he didn't have the slightest intention of joining, for him, it was already a good thing to be able to stand on the side and watch the single "Ponytail and Hair Ring" be born, but he thought so, but the AKB girls didn't think so.
Halfway through the shooting, because the program team had to prepare the camera equipment, the girls fell into a long wait, according to the staff's estimate, this waiting time may be more than an hour.
This kind of waiting is also very normal, like Zhou Xiao when he was filming a TV series, he encountered this kind of waiting.
The idle girls played on the beach for a few minutes, and someone found Zhou Xiao who was sitting in his place looking at things with sunglasses in the distance.
Several lively girls, including Yuko Oshima and Mayu Watanabe, looked at each other and touched each other with a tacit understanding.
Zhou Xiao, who was looking at the Chinese jiàn in his hand, was suddenly thrown a handful of sand.
"Hey! Can you still work in this state? Yuko Oshima's voice came. The girl didn't even say an honorific.
Zhou Xiao looked up, and Yuko Oshima, who was wearing a bikini, was scratching her head there with some exaggerated gestures, as if she was seducing herself.
Standing behind her are Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Jurina, these two girls are dressed more conservatively, among them, Mayou, who has reached the age of 16, is wearing a bikini, but she has another pair of pants on her lower body, and she looks a little shy at the moment, covering a large area of skin on her upper body. Jurina, on the other hand, still wears a more conservative swimsuit.
Among the three, it must be said that Zhou Xiao is the most concerned about Xiao Mayou, the shy look of this little girl who has followed him for nearly ten years, even if Zhou Xiao has never seen it half a year ago. It seems that in the past half a year, the girl has suddenly awakened to the female consciousness, not only Mayou, but also Xiao Airi with Mayou, and unlike Mayou, who is "used to" by herself, she is quite free-spirited, Airi Suzuki is paying attention to the situation on Zhou Xiao's side from afar at this time, but she has no intention of coming, she still looks quite shy, unlike Mayou, even if she is also shy. But he still ran over with Yuko Oshima.
"Brother Zhou Xiao! Let's play! Jurina said a little coquettishly.
"You guys play, my words are a little inappropriate." Zhou Xiao said. What he cares about is that after all, this is a single for the girls, and if Zhou Xiao really gets involved. The members may not be there yet, but if these things get out, they are likely to cause dissatisfaction with the meal.
"Come on, come on, video or something. Just ask the staff to edit it. Yuko Oshima ran over and pulled Zhou Xiao and said.
Zhou Xiao was helplessly pulled up by the girl, took off his sunglasses casually, and he was pulled by the three girls to the member pile.
To talk about fun on the beach. Especially in this kind of work break, it's not really fun, but as long as there is a girl like Yuko Oshima, the atmosphere will never get worse, and after playing for a while, Yuko Oshima even got a surfboard out of nowhere!
"Brother Zhou Xiao, can you play this?" Yuko Oshima said with a wicked smile as she carried her surfboard.
"Brother Zhou Xiao is omnipotent, he will definitely play!" Mayou said.
If it was just Yuko Oshima's provocation, Zhou Xiao might not care, but the worst thing was Mayou's words, which directly pushed Zhou Xiao to the front.
But...... Zhou Xiao didn't give it for nothing, he took the surfboard and said, "Are you waiting for me to make a fool of yourself?" But this thing...... I actually played. ”
He did play, especially when he was in the Maldives with Yuko Ogura, and he didn't play these seaside sports.
"However, with today's weather conditions, even surfing doesn't make people feel very handsome." Zhou Xiao said that the sea breeze in Guam today is still very gentle, and the waves are not high, Zhou Xiao estimates that it is more appropriate to drift with the waves than surfing later.
"Huh? Disappointment......" The girls said with some disappointment as they looked at the waves together, and they could also see that today's good weather was not a day to make people cool to surf.
"But ......," Zhou Xiao said suddenly.
"But...... Although it is not very suitable for surfing, this talent is very suitable for teaching people to surf......"
When he said this, Zhou Xiao had a wicked smile on his face.
"Teach?!" The girls looked at each other.
"Among you...... Who is the best person with the best motor cells? I'll teach her how to surf. Zhou Xiao said.
Yuko Oshima was already hiding behind, but on this empty beach, no matter how much the girl dodged, it was impossible for the girl to really dodge, and Maeda Takahashi and the other girls laughed and pulled her out from behind the crowd.
"No, no, no, I haven't played this!" Yuko Oshima looked panicked.
"Everyone has their first time!" Shinoda and the others on the side also said with a smile.
"But if you go into the water, your makeup will fall off!" The girl said.
"There's still some time to prepare, come back thirty minutes early and put on your makeup!" Zhou Xiao handed the second surfboard to the girl's hand and said.
"Yuko, are you scared!? Does the almighty Yuko Oshima have something that she can't do!? The girls on the side were coaxing.
"What are you afraid of! Come on! That one...... Brother Zhou Xiao, do you want to wear a life jacket? The girl's last sentence still exposed her apprehension.
"Bring two sets of life jackets!" Zhou Xiao shouted to the staff to come, and after he and Yuko Oshima put on their life jackets, they took the girl to the sea with a surfboard, and behind them were the cheering voices of the other members.
"I'm even being pulled in......" Yuko Oshima said as she walked.
"It's self-inflicted, but don't worry, I'm sure you have the potential to play with this." Zhou Xiao said.
"Self-inflicted? Brother Zhou Xiao, how do you know that I didn't mean it......" Yuko Oshima said suddenly.
"Oh!?" Zhou Xiao looked at Yuko Oshima in surprise and found that this girl was looking at him with a wicked smile.
"You did it on purpose?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Have you forgotten that my hobby is skiing?" The girl asked.
Only then did Zhou Xiao remember, this surfing and skiing ...... It's not that different! This girl...... It's just! (To be continued......)
