The day after the phone call with Zhou Xiaowan, Zhou Xiao flew to the magic capital to meet with a minister in China, and after talking to the other party and getting the other party's nod, he returned to Japan satisfied.

In fact, this method is the last thing Zhou Xiao wants to do, he is not afraid to mention his Chinese identity, but seeking help from Chinese in Japan during such a sensitive period is likely to cause the opposite result, if this is the case, it will be dangerous.

But at this critical moment when it comes to the survival of AZX, even if you don't want to, you have to do it.

After doing this, Zhou Xiao returned to Japan to continue the filming of the TV series.

Because of the relationship between the Dome tour, the filming of "Sorry Youth" was once stagnant, and for a week in a row, Zhou Xiao and Maeda Oshima were not in the crew, and only the assistant director took a group of other actors to shoot scenes without Zhou Xiao and the three of them, but in such a drama, the three leading actors basically accounted for 80% of the scenes, without them, there are not many things that the crew can really film, if Zhou Xiao and the three of them don't return to the crew, they may all be finished without their roles in a few days.

After returning to the crew, Zhou Xiao and the three of them immediately started to devote themselves to crazy shooting.

In terms of ratings, "Sorry Youth" can't be considered very good, no...... Or to put it another way, the ratings of "Sorry Youth" are actually good, but it's a pity that the previous work of this drama is "Hanzawa Naoki", which is a work that gets the right time and place at the same time, and the ratings of this series are almost impossible to surpass in this era.

In the face of the nearly 50% rating of "Naoki Hanzawa", anyone or drama who dares to compare it with the ratings can only end up with a big defeat, and losing to this show is an absolute non-war crime.

It is only for Zhou Xiao that the Japanese will find fault with his ratings so fastidiously.

The ratings of "Sorry Youth" are indeed relatively "normal" compared with Zhou Xiao's other dramas.

The ratings of the first episode were about 24%, and by the third episode, it dropped directly to 16%. The huge drop of 8%, Zhou Xiao estimates that the reason is likely to be because many of the viewers in the first episode are viewers who liked "Naoki Hanzawa" before, and the viewing habits and hobbies of these viewers are completely different from the target group of "Sorry Youth", and it is understandable that the audience does not like it after watching the first episode.

The operation itself is not worried, but the Japanese media has fried the pot, in the TV media, due to the relationship between the TV station where the TV series is broadcast, there are still relatively few people who discuss this matter, and there are no such scruples on the Internet and print media, "Zhou Xiao's new drama ratings plummeted!" Tax issues cause a crisis of confidence. Are the people tired of Zhou Xiao? All kinds of such speculations went viral on the Internet and print media, as if Zhou Xiao had achieved such amazing garbage results.

Actually? It's 2013 now, and the ratings of the TV circle in Japan and even the world are steadily decreasing every year, even if the ratings around the world are declining, even if Zhou Xiao directly drops 8% of the ratings, the ratings of his show are still the first in the quarter and a long distance away from other dramas, this is Zhou Xiao. He and his drama can't think according to the ratings of normal Japanese drama habits, and in the Japanese entertainment industry, other top Japanese drama people are A-level. At that time (around 2000), Takuya Kimura exclusively occupied the S-class, and as for Zhou Xiao in recent years, he was the SS-class.

After two episodes of "Sorry Youth", the ratings of "Sorry Youth" finally recovered to a certain extent in the fourth episode, with an 18.7% rating that is still smiling. In this quarter's ratings, it turns out that the broadcast time and viewership are really important, and the original ratings of "Sorry Youth" fluctuated around 8%. changed Zhou Xiao to shoot, plus Maeda Oshima two girls joined full of topics...... There are two dramas in the past and present life, but the ratings are running in two completely different directions.

After the ratings for the fourth episode came out, people's voices gradually changed.

On the one hand, the obvious increase in ratings has made most people keep their mouths shut, and on the other hand, people have seen a surprise from Maeda Oshima.

Idols have not been associated with "strength" for a long time, the idols of the year were really powerful, acting and singing were top-notch, but in recent years, idols have become synonymous with low-level and amateur, in fact, AKB girls have largely reversed the stereotype of the audience, including Maeda Oshima, and even Ono Reina and other girls, after a very professional acting training, their acting skills have improved greatly.

But people's stereotypes are not something that can be reversed just once or twice, and even now, the AKB Group still has a large number of girls who are relatively overstretched in terms of acting skills, and even after a lot of training, it is still difficult to reach the average level.

Since it was rumored that Zhou Xiao was going to do a TV series with two AKB girls, people naturally began to question the issue of acting skills.

It's not even just the two girls, even Zhou Xiao's acting skills have been questioned together, Zhou Xiao's filming is very good, there is no need to question this at all, people's belief in Zhou Xiao's level now has even reached the level that even if he makes a super bad movie, some people will speculate about the significance of filming behind it through this film, but Zhou Xiao's acting skills ......

He has acted in one or two works, works in which he is not the protagonist actor, and his research is at most mediocre.

If you want to say that he really wrote, directed, and acted in his own works, maybe "This Man is from Earth" is considered a one?

Even if it's this thing, it means that a movie is not a movie, a TV series is not a TV series, and even a variety show is not necessarily counted......

In this two-hour work, Zhou Xiao's performance is actually good, handsome and mysterious, not to mention the acting, he can be regarded as handing over a qualified performance, but ...... How many years has it been since that performance? Zhou Xiao is so busy with work, and acting is not his specialty, although his age and experience have been increasing, but many people don't believe it when it comes to saying that his acting skills have improved in the past few years.

Not to mention improving, don't get worse with age, but your acting skills will deteriorate.

This kind of example is not unprecedented, such as a male duck voice actress who acted in his semi-autobiographical movie with Xing Ye shortly after her debut, and this one in that drama is simply aura. Look at the recent years, especially the "X East X Roar 2" that cooperated with the members of the Northeast Tiantuan F4 and its shoehorn face master......

Well, I digress.

Then, "Sorry Youth" was broadcast.

I haven't watched the first episode yet, and the second episode hasn't been good...... Episode 3, Episode 4...... A lot of people see that the feeling is coming.

Zhou Xiao's initial acting skills are still like that, tepid and stable, while Maeda Oshima, professionals can see that their acting skills have indeed improved, but ordinary people have not seen much of how much their acting skills have improved, and more importantly. The acting skills of the three people haven't been shown much yet, until the fourth episode.

In the original "Sorry Youth", it was far from the time for the character played by Maeda to appear in the fourth episode, but after the revised plot, Maeda officially appeared as early as the third episode, and in the fourth episode, Maeda plus Oshima, plus Zhou Xiao, the three of them had the first rivalry with only the three of them.

Although it was only the first rival play. But in fact, the three of them began to brew the atmosphere of "showdown" as early as the first episode, and after holding back for four full episodes, the first scene in the three-person episode broke out!

In this scene, Maeda, who came back from work, met Zhou Xiao and Yuko. But the relationship between the three of them became a little delicate at this time, originally, Zhou Xiao used to like Maeda's role, but because Maeda liked Zhou Xiao's friend. So two people are fruitless.

Time has come to this day, because Maeda has been gone for a long time, Zhou Xiao and Yuko, who have not seen each other for many years, have a faint feeling of love. But at this time, Maeda appeared again, and the Shura field between the three of them was born.

episodes.

Zhou Xiaogang had some ambiguity with Yuko, and Maeda suddenly appeared.

This drama is not the kind of dull love triangle drama, so although there are scenes similar to love triangles, the style of the whole series is still cheerful and interesting, for example, now Zhou Xiao and the three of them meet with a series of misunderstandings and funny episodes, and even one after another pretending to be stupid and complaining.

But in this kind of scene, it is not all without acting skills, such as Maeda's performance when he met Zhou Xiao, what it was like for two people who hadn't seen each other for many years to meet for the first time, different people would have different requirements.

In the original work of the previous life, Ryo Nishikido and Bo Ru basically did not have the feeling of meeting the two, because of the style of the series, the "Sorry Youth" in the previous life basically blurred the emotional line of the two, but Zhou Xiao focuses on the description here, and the two need to show their feelings.

In the series, after taking care of the students' questions, Zhou Xiao and Yuko took the car back to Mishima together, and in the original work, only they took the students from Mishima to Numazu City and the plot of the "heart-shaped ring" incident occurred in the car, this scene was not in the original work, because of the relationship between Maeda and the appearance, Zhou Xiao added this scene where only the two of them returned to Mishima City.

In the episode, Zhou Xiao and Youzi walked to the car, and while chatting while walking, the atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.

"Ah......" As soon as the two of them got into the car and sat down, a small voice sounded at the moment when anyone could see that the two people were about to puncture the layer of window paper.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw another girl standing there in surprise.

This person is a girl they all know, but has disappeared from their memories for more than ten years!

It was as if time had stopped at this moment.

In just a few seconds, the stunned three people have no lines or movements, and all that is broadcast on TV is the sound of the train moving and the close-up shots that keep switching between the three people.

This scene was completely expressed by the three of them with facial expressions and eyes!

Zhou Xiao's surprise and surprise were mixed with embarrassment, Yuko's nostalgia was mixed with anger, and Maeda's sadness and tension were mixed with guilt......

In just a few seconds of scenes, the expressions and eyes of the three people have changed several times, and the delicate relationship between the three people is fully demonstrated without any action lines.

In fact, TV is a thing, you may not be able to do a good job in this kind of performance, because the audience may not eat your set, and maybe even the audience will do everything when the drama is broadcast, and they won't notice these subtleties of you at all.

But after all, Zhou Xiao's drama has a large number of young audiences, and the audience's attention is relatively high, and the drama "Naoki Hanzawa" is still a very standard Japanese drama, with a relatively slow rhythm and exaggerated actors' movements. But the drama "Sorry Youth", although the content is exaggerated and interesting, the rhythm of the whole drama is very fast, and the audience's attention is relatively high, and many people still see this series of acting skills of Zhou Xiao and the others.

Most ordinary viewers who don't understand acting skills can easily feel the extremely subtle relationship between the three people in just a few seconds, and most of the viewers who know a little bit about acting skills, or care about the acting skills of the three people before the broadcast, were shocked, and were extremely surprised to see that these three actors, who were previously considered to lack acting skills, explained an incomparably complex plot in the series just with their eyebrows!

"That's amazing!" Many people can't help but praise in front of the TV.

Isn't it amazing? In fact, it can't be considered very powerful, many actors can make a three-person performance, but this kind of performance is quite rare for the three leading actors in this show.

Maeda appears in the episode from the third episode onwards. But it wasn't until the end of the fourth episode that the three of them had their first rivalry, and before that, although the performances of the three people did not have a rival scene, there were always opportunities to show their acting skills, and if you look back, you will find that their acting skills were actually very good from the beginning, but they were not noticed because of the lack of a breaking point before.

The audience knows that, too, if you say. People's requirements for the ratings of Zhou Xiao's works can be called nitpicking, and the acting skills of Zhou Xiao and the three of them are relatively generous, and after the broadcast of this episode, there are basically no negative comments on the performance of the three of them in this episode. People gave the most affirmative appreciation to the acting skills of the trio.

commented: "Zhou Xiao and Maeda Oshima, what kind of works can a director and two idols perform, "Sorry Youth" gives us the answer, interesting. Wonderful, imaginative and light-hearted and witty, what's even more amazing is the acting skills of the three people. Especially the two idols Maeda Oshima, we are actually used to not expecting too much from idols, but today's idols, we find that they have become super powerful......"

This kind of comment is still relatively normal, in addition, this kind of comment is also a complete Japanese drama review, blowing it even harder, and even blowing it to the point that it is a little embarrassing that those idol reviews that were originally rice, these comments are even more powerful when they blow Maeda Oshima......

"Actually, before "Sorry Youth", we didn't see idols acting, even AKB itself, the whole group starred in several seasons of "Malu Suga School" and even starred in the super series planned by Zhou Xiao.

However, strictly speaking, such works have not left the nest of idols, and we have the impression that these works are still considered to be works of idols playing idols.

But "Sorry Youth" is different.

AKB idols,The first real cooperation with Mr. Zhou Xiao,It means that Maeda Oshima and the two have the ability to star in Japan's top TV series,In the past, we always said that the ninth month is good, the ninth month is good,Not only because the ninth month will always broadcast a love TV series,But also because the ninth month has the best average ratings in Japan。

But now, if you look at it by this standard, maybe we should change our people to tout, because the schedule of the highest-rated drama has moved from the ninth of the month to Mr. Zhou Xiao's semi-exclusive daily TV schedule for several consecutive years, and Zhou Xiao's file is the top schedule in Japan today.

And Maeda Oshima, who starred in Zhou Xiao's works and performed so amazingly, is tantamount to gaining the ability to star in any other schedule, including Yuejiu.

What's more critical is that the two girls Maeda and Oshima represent a group, this group is the idol group cultivated by AZX and Mr. Zhou Xiao, idols, who were once regarded as a group of artists who have no strength, no acting skills and no singing voice because of the Kitten Club and the idols behind it, finally began to have the ability to star in TV series again!

From can't to can, Mr. Zhou Xiao and Maeda Oshima are undoubtedly equivalent to opening a new road for idols, and what's even more powerful is that from now on, Mr. Zhou Xiao and AZX can confidently invite those newcomers who already have acting and singing abilities to join AZX and AKB Group, because they have proven with facts that AZX does have that soil, not only to make the idol group successful, but also to make girls who are interested in this career successful.

From this point of view, the success of the two Maeda Oshima girls means a lot to AKB, and it is not a problem to say that they are worth hundreds of millions of billions of yen. ”

Zhou Xiao was embarrassed by this.

In short, driven by the wonderful performances of Zhou Xiao and the excellent performance of the series itself, the ratings of the fourth episode of "Sorry Youth" returned to 25%, and the final ratings fell on the figure of 25.5%, and this gradually improving work once again entered the audience's attention.

After that, the series stabilized its ratings performance with 27% in the fifth episode, 26.8% in the sixth episode, and 27.2% in the seventh episode.

And the two girls of Maeda Oshima are also relieved, with such a work, their road after graduation will undoubtedly be much smoother. (To be continued.) )
