Chapter 442: Kana Nishino is about to make her debut

The time entered early March, and the first two episodes of "Public Security Lesson 5" were sent to Japanese TV.

Japanese TV still has high expectations for Zhou Xiao,Of course,In addition to confidence in Zhou Xiao,Confidence in investment is also very high,This "Fifth Lesson of Public Security",In investing in Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao is supporting this drama with an attitude that is almost "no cap",So,Japanese TV is still very much looking forward to what effect Zhou Xiao can come up with。

And the fact that Japanese TV can have Zhou Xiao's drama also makes other TV stations envious and jealous, and they have a lot of regrets in their hearts.

Especially like Fuji TV, Zhou Xiao is very sorry about the TV station he found before looking for Japanese TV, everyone can see that with Zhou Xiao's current popularity and attention, even if the things filmed are rotten like, there will definitely be a large number of viewers flocking to it, there will be popularity if there is an audience, and there will be income if there is popularity, Zhou Xiao's drama has not yet been released, but it is already destined to earn a lot of attention and even income.

There is even news from Fuji TV that the head of the review team who rejected Zhou Xiao's work has been retired internally, and he just waited for a suitable opportunity to let the staff member leave the TV station.

And what makes Fuji TV most depressed is that although he didn't get any benefits from his TV station, he couldn't express any dissatisfaction with Zhou Xiao's side, but had to work very hard to repair the relationship between each other.

Not long after Zhou Xiao's new drama was scheduled for the April file of Japanese TV, the invitation of Fuji TV also came.

Fuji TV wants to open a late-night variety show for AKB in April, and it is purely funded by Fuji TV.

Open a late-night stall for AKB? This is definitely a great thing for the current AKB, because the current AKB needs to be exposed so much, and if it weren't for the invitation of Fuji TV, AKB would have started AKBING at the end of this year, but if it could start a show on Fuji TV now. That's definitely a better choice for AKB.

Now the major TV stations and other places can also see that Zhou Xiao's heart is absolutely for AKB, so if you want to show favor to Zhou Xiao, it is not a choice to do it through guòAKB.

Do a show for AKB? After hearing the news, Zhou Xiao was not particularly excited, is it really good to do a show for AKB now? He doesn't think so.

In April 2000, the Good Morning Girls group launched their title show "Hello! Morning, a Tokyo TV variety show that aired on Sunday mornings from 2000 until September 2008. The program has undergone a name change, and the ratings have gradually decreased with the gradual decline of Good Morning, and in the end, it is even difficult to maintain the figure of 1%, which can be said to be very sad.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or fate, but at the beginning of 2008, AKB's "AKBINGO" predecessor program "AKB1:59" began to run, the decline of one legendary group and the rise of another legendary group, between such alternations. Japan's idol culture has completed the generational transition.

And what kind of problems does such a generational change portend? The problem is that no matter whether an idol group is like Hongcheng AKB or Hongcheng Good Morning Girl Group, the characteristics of female idols doom the members to be unable to do in a group for a long time, and the phenomenon of generational change is very common. The level of variety shows of the members is also uneven, for various reasons, it is impossible for female idols' variety shows to occupy prime time for a long time like male idols and get an average rating of more than ten or twenty ratings, ordinary audiences are the most impatient and unreasonable, and they finally watched a few of them suddenly graduate and stop acting. The new young children are so novices at first glance, and it's not funny at all that the show is a mess, what's the point of such a show?

So. An idol group sometimes doesn't need too many variety shows.

The AKB department of later generations, variety shows are indeed outrageous, but that's because the AKB stalls in later generations are also big, two or three hundred people in four groups, even if there are three or four fixed programs every week, there are still a lot of members who can't get to star, and like AKB now, not to mention that there is already a title group of "God TV", if you open two groups at the same time, although it is not too difficult, it may not be able to achieve too good results.

What's more, Fuji TV was not Zhou Xiao's home stadium in the first place, and Fuji TV, everyone is more just a commercial cooperation, it is impossible to not only cooperate like Zhou Xiao and Japanese TV, but also almost become the same as the family, so, for Fuji TV, AKB as long as the face is passable.

If AKB can really have a variety show or a TV series on Fuji TV in prime time in the future, everyone will be able to cooperate again when the time comes.

But...... How do you refuse Fujidai? This question...... It's too important not to develop too deep a relationship with Fujitai, but this doesn't mean that Zhou Xiao can casually refuse Fujitai's invitation, especially now that the other party is completely giving AKB a chance, and the invitation without anything is even more difficult to refuse.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhou Xiao still decided...... Not beat around the bush.

Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to use too many excuses, but to be honest, it's also a good choice to sincerely tell the other party about their troubles.

"My work arrangement here has been arranged until 2009 onwards, and I don't have much time to help AKB on TV programs, and if I wasn't here, it would be difficult for AKB to support a program with a high level of production alone, and, according to the contract we signed a long time ago, in addition to God TV, AKB also has a program to start on Japan TV, and at the same time, it is difficult for AKB to ensure the quality of the three programs, so although I really want to star, But please allow us to refuse your station's invitation, although TV exposure is what we need very much, but the variety show with insufficient quality is something we can't tolerate......" AZX finally sent a message of refusal in the name of Zhou Xiao.

Although Zhou Xiao hesitated for a long time in order to refuse this invitation, Fujitai was surprisingly easy to accept Zhou Xiao's reason for refusal, and he also asked Uncle Inoue the reason for this, and the uncle explained: "The world's producers, you are the most bizarre one, you don't want to give you a title show, you don't want to give you red and white, that is, I know what you think." I know that you are cautious and want to be cautious, but I know that others don't know, since I don't know what you think, and the rejection you sent in the past is very sincere, then I can only believe that you really think so. ”

"Okay." Zhou Xiao had no choice but to nod.

"In addition, I don't think we need to make things so rigid, since you refused the AKB variety show, you can find them to do other things." Uncle Inoue said.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Isn't there going to be an annual audition for AZX soon? Just let Fuji TV record it. Uncle Inoue said.

"Recorded? Is this okay? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Why not, if you can contribute a suitable project. It's even better to make the show good. Uncle Inoue said.

"The right plan? Talent show? Zhou Xiao immediately thought of the "good voice" in the future, but this thought disappeared in a second after it was stored in his head, because this kind of show is not suitable for Japanese drafts.

In the entertainment industry all over the world, starting with the mobile phone salesman Paul in 2007, then to Aunt Susan and others, and finally to the voice that swept the world, the whole world is popular with the draft, and the miracle of civilians becoming gods is popular, but this miracle has never affected Japan. Why is that?

(The author is just a shallow nonsense, don't take it seriously)

The reasons for this phenomenon are very complex.

First of all, in some respects, Japanese civilization is inherently xenophobic, and when the game industry around the world is advancing by leaps and bounds, the Japanese game industry is still guarding its own one-third of an acre. While the music industry around the world is converging and even beginning to abandon traditional media, Japan is still sticking to the distribution of TV and CD/DVD, and the whole world is working for Apple. While crazy about smartphones, Japan still wants to keep their flip phones......

There are too many such things, things that Japan used to be proud of. In the end, it often becomes a stumbling block because of their stubbornness, so Japan's game development lags behind Europe and the United States for a whole era, and players around the world are no longer crazy about Nintendo, Sega and Sony, but Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Minecraft. So when AKB created a million-dollar miracle, Japan actually sat on the throne of "the world's No. 1 music market". So after stubbornly persisting for a while, he finally compromised, and Apple's iPhone and Android system occupied the whole country......

Among the three examples, the second one seems to be a positive example, but in fact, it is just that the time for change has not yet arrived, and Zhou Xiao believes that once the great changes like the first and third types really come, the Japanese music industry will still cling to their things, and finally be left behind by the world.

This stubbornness is the main reason why Japan does not accept the new entertainment in other parts of the world.

After that, one of the reasons is that Japan's very complete entertainment industry is also one of the reasons, because the entertainment industry is very perfect, so Tokyo and Osaka and other cities have countless large and small auditions throughout the year, such as AKB members, many of whom have participated in dozens of auditions before joining AKB, and can escape the "pearl" of so many auditions...... Is it really a lost pearl?

Then, artists like Paul and Aunt Susan, who are not famous, but the main reason for the success of the guò talent show is that they have extraordinary abilities even though they are not very good-looking, but they ...... Japanese music actually doesn't pay much attention to singing skills, Japanese music pays more attention to melody and content, there are too many good music in Japan, they pay more attention to the creation of music than interpretation, like Zhou Xiao's debut song, in the previous life mongol800's "Little Love" has mongol800, Yurika Oyama, Aragaki Yui and many other singers have covered it, like Aragaki Yui's singing skills are almost non-existent, but there are still many people like it, Japan is not a country where ugly men and ugly women can't get ahead, Horipro's eldest sister, Awada Akiko, the original author of "The World's Only Flower", Keiyuki Makihara, is the standard representative of ugly men and ugly women.

In short, it is unrealistic to rely on a genius selection show to succeed in Japan, especially in the selection of AZX, the main objects involved and the main members selected are usually teenage young girls, and in such a selection, the voice is not the only concern, Zhou Xiao still has to pay more attention to things like the girl's appearance and acting skills.

"It's basically impossible for me to do what you think, and some of the main body of selection is selection. The selected ones are all instant combat power, so they will look better on TV shows, but the selection of AZX looks at the future, and the final selected people may not see the slightest characteristic, so even if Fuji TV is willing to broadcast, the final broadcast may only be a relatively boring selection process, is this really okay? Zhou Xiao asked.

"That'...... All right. Uncle Inoue finally had to say, in fact, he also knew very well that the selection of AZX has been going on in the past few years, and the girls selected by Zhou Xiao are also very potential. But when it comes to the selection process, it is indeed relatively boring, and there is nothing outstanding about the girls who have just participated in the selection.

"But...... If Fuji TV is really interested, there is a special program for them to ......," Zhou Xiao said.

"You mean......" Uncle Inoue asked.

"That's right." Zhou Xiao nodded, although these two people didn't say their names, they knew very well who they were talking about.

What they're talking about is what stood out in the first AZX audition...... Kana Nishino!

At this time, Zhou Xiao's ability to work in the Japanese entertainment industry for several years was reflected, and he determined a very good final project content in one sentence: "Otherwise, let's make a documentary around Kana Nishino." However, AZX's audition used Kana Nishino's debut single as the theme song, and then the final audition, allowing her to sing her debut single as the finale of the audition and documentary! ”

"Good idea! Not only did she ease her relationship with Fujitai, but for herself, she could highlight her status as the winner of the first AZX audition. It can also give confidence to the participants of the AZX audition, and finally be able to promote the AZX audition and even this debut single, which is simply a lot of win! It's perfect! Uncle Inoue said after patting his thigh.

"Then it's such a happy decision! I'm going to have a new single for her right now! Zhou Xiao said.

"Good! Then I'll contact the company and the TV station! Uncle Inoue said.

The next step is the intensive preparations.

Zhou Xiao just prepared a debut song for Kana Nishino, Uncle Inoue. In addition to explaining the situation to Fujitai, he also invited Fujitai staff to the company to select various video materials of Kana Nishino, AZX has always used video materials to record his career habits for its artists, don't look at Kana Nishino has already joined AZX but has never debuted. But there has always been a lot of her video materials, and these things will now become one of the main sources of Fuji TV's editing of girls' documentaries, and with her tracking and shooting from now to a period of time before her final debut, she will eventually form a large-scale documentary to build momentum for the girl's debut.

Kana Nishino is a very standard, not known for traditional CD sales, the vast majority of her song audience is young women, so in terms of song sales, in addition to CDs, online distribution is the main sales channel, in this regard, it can be said that she is the most in line with the European and American pop music industry.

Moreover, Kana Nishino in her previous life was even more standard, a singer who slowly became popular by her own ability, she didn't have any strong push when she first debuted, and the sales of Oricon when the first few singles debuted were very embarrassing, such as her first single, Oricon debuted at No. 155, and the number of appearances was ...... Once, 481 pieces were sold in the first week, and the total sales were ...... 481 pieces.

It looks like it can't be pounced anymore.

But don't forget, oricon counts the sales of physical singles, and Kana Nishino's first single CD did sell only 481 copies, but that's mainly because it entered the top 10 on the BillboardJapan chart, which counts online delivery sales, which includes online delivery sales, that is, the girl's total sales are actually not so miserable, but the battlefield of her sales is not on oricon.

In this life, Zhou Xiao still designed the same route for the girl, the difference from the previous life is that Kana Nishino in this life is destined to have enough exposure on TV, because Fuji TV's special documentary is made for her, as a means of balancing TV and AZX, this documentary fell on her by mistake, so that she could be known by more people in advance.

AZX auditions, Kana Nishino's documentary, the filming of the TV series, the six-phase student audition that has already begun preparations, AKB48, which will release its eighth single Sakura Petals 2008 in early March, and even the future SKE Theater in Nagoya, which has already secretly begun to prepare for renovation......

When March 2008 came, Zhou Xiao and AZX spent their time in an incomparably busy as usual, and the busy preparations were like seeds that had been planted, and after careful care, they were finally going to take root and sprout and bloom intoxicating flowers. (To be continued......)

PS: Okay my fault, Ice Dog was broadcast in October, because it was broadcast at AKB at 1:59 in January, and I was brain-dead, and I inevitably had a brain-dead experience in my life......
