Chapter 579: Yoyogi Rehearsal Begins
As a concert of the nature of half celebration and half praise after the general election, this year's "No Surprises" Yoyogi concert opened in the order of the members' rankings, and in the month after the general election, Yuko Oshima can be said to be complacent, all kinds of jobs and invitations flew over like snowflakes, not to mention variety shows and magazines, and all kinds of film appointments and advertising appointments have also found Yuko.
In fact, not only Yuko, but basically during this period, as long as you are a member of the top 12 of AKB, everyone's work has grown considerably.
Yuko is excited, it is not easy for people to feel fatigue under super excitement, this month's Yuko is like this, under the unparalleled excitement, the girl is working like a fully charged machine, before the general election, the girl's fatigue is in Zhou Xiao's eyes, but now she is obviously doing a slightly busier job than before the general election, and every time she gets home, she can still excitedly chat with Zhou Xiao and joke, and even joke and prank, it doesn't look like she will be tired at all.
Maeda and Mariko, and even later on, Mai Itano Tomomi Oshima also had a lot of work.
What really cares is the attitude of the two girls, Mai and Itano, in recent days.
The members of AKB didn't notice anything, but in the eyes of people who knew the news that the two were about to graduate, the frustration and reluctance of the two in the past few days were very obvious.
Often in a daze and distracted, secretly shedding tears and sighing at the figures of the members rehearsing for the concert, holding their good members tightly and not letting go, etc., these expressions may seem to the members to be just the reaction of the two girls to the concert and their overall ranking, only the camera of the AKB documentary silently recorded this qiē, leaving it for the members or the audience to experience their state of mind at this time.
Starting on July 8th, AKB members went to Yoyogi to start rehearsals.
Before the start of the day's rehearsals, Haruka Ishida. The three of them, Misaki Iwasa and Akika Nakatani, danced a house dance in the center of Yoyogi as usual.
This time the house dance also has some projects that only they can do in Japan, such as the fourth figure joining them halfway through the dance.
This person is none other than Yuko Oshima, the champion of this general election.
What's even more fun is that the three girls are wearing beautiful AKB performance costumes, and Yuko Oshima is a training uniform, at first the audience may think that Yuko didn't have time to change clothes to do this, and only after the three girls finished dancing did they find out that this was a deliberately made bridge. Because after the jump, Haruka Ishida, the center of the three, turned back to Yuko and said, "Hey! Newcomer! You didn't do that action a little hard just now, listen up, why can my sister stand out and stand in the center among the three of us? That's because my sister works very hard in everything! You look like this! I'm afraid I won't be able to get the center position in my life! ”
And Yuko Oshima, when listening to Ishida Haruka's words, was full of trepidation, and kept nodding and saying very restrainedly: "Yes, yes......"
This bridge, of course, was arranged by Zhou Xiao, who had a bad taste, to a few people.
Originally, in Zhou Xiao's arrangement, the video ended here. Because Yuko Oshima, who is still in the excitement period of winning the general election, will not care about whether such a small bridge is suitable at all, but Ishida Haruka and the other three girls are very panicked, after Zhou Xiao told them "play", the three of them must add a paragraph to the end.
So the plot became Koishida after talking about Yuko. The staff on the other side of the camera shouted "cut", and then the three girls immediately ran over, kneeling down to apologize to Yuko with a look of regret and nervousness, and Yuko also smiled and said that she didn't care about the ending.
The act of kneeling has little to do with dignity most of the time in Japan. The kneeling of the three of them purely represents a very solemn apology.
After filming this small video, Zhou Xiao and a few others walked backstage. Among them, he and Yuko walked side by side in front, and the three girls quietly walked behind.
Although it was daytime, in the closed Yoyogi Stadium, the lights were falling one by one, reflecting two figures, one tall and one short.
The three girls are extremely envious, the two people in front, one is the girl who just defeated Atsuko Maeda and stood at the top of AKB, and the other is the creator of AKB, a national-level artist who is known to everyone in Japan, a genius and handsome 28-year-old man, these two people walk together, which makes people feel that they really complement each other.
It should be said that within AKB, there are very few people who don't know about Zhou Xiao and Youzi, and all the girls are envious and jealous of this.
On the way back to the backstage, several people kept meeting AKB members who were preparing for rehearsals, and the entire Yoyogi Stadium was filled with an atmosphere of anticipation.
In the backstage of this kind of large-scale idol group, there are basically only one percent or even less of the things recorded in the making shots, and most of the various interactions between girls are not suitable for DVD, of course, there are more boring things, but there are also some interactions that are not suitable for DVD because they are a little excessive.
For example...... Yellow jokes.
There is no such thing as a girl in Japanese culture who can't say these things at all, in fact, it's similar in Chinese culture, especially in an environment where there are basically no men, and this tendency is even more obvious, in fact, not only Japanese girls, but also Chinese girls, such as girls in university dormitories, are no worse than men when it comes to these things.
In AKB's DVD editing, most of these things have been cut out as a matter of course, but in the past few years of DVD editing, there are still occasionally one or two shots left behind, such as an event, interviewing other members in front of the camera, and a behavior of Kashiwagi and Mayu in the background is proof.
At that time, Mayou walked over from the distance of the camera, while Kashiwagi lowered his body slightly, revealing his cleavage, and Mayou shouted "Oupai!" like an idiot and at the same time like a lustful good year! ”
This is actually very well hidden, and the picture and the girl's voice that have not even been discovered by the post-editors have been faithfully recorded, and it has become a very interesting interaction between the two, and it was not noticed until the DVD was released.
Even these two people who have always taken the pure traditional idol route are like this, not to mention those idols who take the route of being more feminine and closer to the route of photo idols.
Originally, this kind of thing, after all, Zhou Xiao is a man. The girls were more cautious at first, but after a long time, Zhou Xiao's brother became more and more familiar with AKB, and the girls began to gradually stop caring about him.
This directly leads to the fact that Zhou Xiao can usually see far more welfare content than ordinary meals......
For example, at this moment, Masuda Youhua was walking past Zhou Xiao and Yuko with a microphone, and Yuko was still greeting the girl as if nothing had happened, and when the girl just passed her, she turned around and slapped her buttocks.
"Yikes!" Masuda exclaimed, turned around and didn't show weakness, stretched out his hands and struck at Yuko's chest. But Yuko didn't give it for nothing, not only is she smarter than Masuda, but Masuda's breasts are bigger than her, so Yuko easily got out of the way, and attacked Masuda's chest as an attack, provoking Masuda, who stole the chicken and couldn't lose the rice, screamed again.
Zhou Xiao, who is no longer a simple otaku, naturally doesn't care about or be excited about these things, for him, this kind of thing is at most just looking happy, and the same is true for Yuko. But Masuda Youhua still cares about this kind of thing, especially being attacked like this in front of Zhou Xiao, which makes the girl very shy.
"What are you being shy about?" Yuko also sensed Masuda's shyness, and she walked around behind the girl in an unrestrained manner. His hands went around his chest, grabbed two huge plumps, and squeezed desperately towards the middle.
Ooh! Zhou Xiao secretly screamed, Masuda is only wearing private clothes now, a little low-cut clothes, and after being squeezed like this, he can easily see the deep curve of the ravine. This girl who sings very well really has a lot of money at the same time.
"Oh, yes! Masuda. Come to my break room after your rehearsal, I have something to tell you. Zhou Xiao said.
"Huh? Be! I know! Masuda and Yuko heard Zhou Xiao say this, and quickly stopped playing and said.
"What's the matter?" Yuko asked casually.
"You'll find out when it's announced." Zhou Xiaodao.
"It's better for my family, it's so powerful." Yuko said that her relationship with Masuda is still good.
"Don't worry, of course I won't forget her." Zhou Xiaodao.
Masuda Youhua is also a member of Zhou Xiao's attention, it is a pity that this child in his previous life failed to come out of AKB, how to manage her in this life, so that she can be as successful as possible, is something that Zhou Xiao is looking forward to.
As for Zhou Xiao's approach, his first approach was not used on Masuda himself, but on others.
That was done a few years ago, and that was to give classes to girls in AKB who were interested in a career in singing.
The members of this class, in addition to Masuda Yuka, Takahashi Minami, Akimoto Saika, Aaryu Matomo, later Iwasa Misaki, and even some AKBs signed by AZX, artists who aspire to be singers, and some artists who have received from Being are among them.
In addition, Zhou Xiao can usually highlight the singing skills of Mayu Airi, and with so many opponents, the name of Masuda Yuhua's so-called AKB's strongest singer has faded a lot.
One person is good to another, sometimes it's not just a blind brainless support for her, just like Zhou Xiao has been suppressing Ono Mei Lingna, for Masuda, Zhou Xiao also adopted a parallel method of suppression and encouragement, on the one hand, he used the singing skills of Mayu Airi and other members to make Masuda understand that she was not the only choice in AKB singing, and on the other hand, he also gave her more support in other aspects.
In today's AKB, although Masuda still can't enter the singles selection group, Zhou Xiao still gives her a lot in terms of work.
This is especially true in AKB's various concerts, don't look at Masuda's lack of opportunities in media work, but live work, she has always been a very important part, and there is a certain reason why the operation must rely on her in some way, because now almost all the songs of AKBLIVE of 16 people or less are actually sung, and only those choruses of dozens or hundreds of people at every turn, in the case of no way, will let the members fake sing.
The real singing of about 16 people, with Masuda's voice is often full of zài in it, and in the first few years, the girl will even make a song seem very discordant because the vocal energy of the voice is too "hanging" the other people around her. Now there is basically no such situation, and the girl has gradually learned to cooperate, and has learned how to use her own energetic voice to match a group of girls' delicate voices, just like her "Candy" with Tomomi Kawanishi and Amina Sato.
In addition to this incident, there are two very important Zhou Xiao's support for Masuda that has not yet been disclosed, one of which is the debut of the DIVA team led by Masuda and Akimoto Saika, Miyazawa Sae, etc., and the other is one thing that many AKB meals were curious about what the operation club would do from 2010 to 2011.
This thing. Zhou Xiao has always been worried about whether it is feasible, that is...... Let Masuda concurrently serve or move to NMB48 that will be formed in the future.
The news that nmb48 will start the audition will be announced on the first day of Yoyogi's performance in two days, and Yamamoto Aya's part-time and focus on NMB in the future is something that Zhou Xiao has long thought about, whether to let Masuda move over, whether Masuda will be the captain after moving over, whether to move or part-time, and what is the position of moving in the past, are very, very important questions. If these feelings were not confirmed, it would be impossible for Zhou Xiao to dare to let Masuda move over.
As soon as a new group like this was established, there were not many things that moved AKB members to the past in Zhou Xiao's previous life. In terms of SKE, although Yuka Nakanishi has been moved, Nakanishi's status is not high in SKE, and he is more of a supporter and spokesperson for the operator behind the scenes.
At the time of the establishment of NMB, there were no AKB members at all. As for the movement of Rino Finger, it was carried out some time after the establishment of HKT.
It's one thing to have no experience, but Masuda's own personality is another concern. This is a girl with a very strong personality, and at the same time has a reason to support her strength, and according to observation, Masuda has a certain selfishness and short-sightedness in his own personality.
No matter what kind of personality a girl has, it's actually normal, but she's just a young girl under 20 years old, and it's unrealistic to expect her to think about everything.
In order to move her to NMB, the first and most important question is...... What is positioning? If she could, of course Zhou Xiao hoped that she could become a very reliable captain and senior in NMB, but this girl, who was a little short-sighted and selfish, would she really follow the route given by Zhou Xiao? After she moved over, everyone, including Aya Yamamoto, was her super junior, could she really feel at ease as a captain and not think about the center position at all?
Today, Zhou Xiao specially brought the girl to chat, just to tell her that he wanted her to go to NMB, and to listen to her thoughts to determine whether she could be qualified for the job that Zhou Xiao prepared for her.
Let Yuko go to rehearsal, Zhou Xiao returned to the lounge and waited for a while, and Masuda came over after finishing part of his rehearsal.
"Let's take a look at the video first, this is the news that is going to be announced on the first day of the concert." After the girl came in, Zhou Xiao beckoned her to watch a video first.
This video is naturally the news that the AKB Group will establish NMB48 in Masuda's hometown of Osaka.
The news of the establishment of a new idol group does not really mean anything special to the members themselves, and it can even be said that it is outright bad news for most of the members, because the new idol group means that the opportunities will be more dispersed, and there will be fewer opportunities for each member.
So at the beginning, when he saw the video content, Masuda was a little surprised why Brother Zhou Xiao would show her in advance.
But the girl's reaction was also very fast, and she thought of a possibility after being stunned.
This possibility made her tremble.
"I guess you've guessed something, we're going to establish NMB48, are you interested in trying part-time or immigration?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Concurrently? Emigration!? Brother Zhou Xiao...... I...... Anything goes! The girl said.
"If you don't want to, we can have another way...... Huh? Do you agree? Zhou Xiaogang wanted to say that there was another plan, but he didn't expect Masuda's words to agree rather than refuse!
"Yes! Zhu Lina is also a part-time member of our team, as well as the migration of Qin and Ai Li, I think...... It's a good move. The girl said.
As soon as she said this, Zhou Xiao finally understood.
It turns out that for the current AKB, it is slightly different from his previous life that from the beginning of the establishment of AKB, Zhou Xiao has carried out all kinds of movements, there are cabinet festivals within the team, and there are various part-time and emigration externally, and over time, the members are also used to this change, and the girls themselves are not stupid, they can see that the movement of many members, even from AKB to SKE, the resources obtained by the members themselves have not only not decreased but increased, and their popularity and local support have also gained a lotGradually, everyone understood that this kind of movement was indeed the product of careful consideration by the operation, and it was a sign that the operation was expecting the members and was ready to give them more resources.
Since it was really not a demotion, the members' views on concurrent immigration were much more positive, which is why Masuda did not hesitate to agree.
However, there are some things that Zhou Xiao still has to explain.
"You know, move you over, we are not ready to let you be the center position, we can even say that if there is no accident, you will never be able to become the center of AKB or NMB, what we hope is that you can be a person who supports and helps the members grow, do you understand?" Zhou Xiao said.
"This ......," the girl fell silent. (To be continued......)
