Chapter 481: Talking to Hiro about the future of the two girls
Zhou Xiao looked at HIRO in surprise, and even didn't know what to say, did you say that?
These two girls in their previous lives did finally make their debut at HIRO's LDH, and E-girls are also a pretty good combination.
However, now they belong to AKB, and the artists in the company are poached from other companies, which is quite a taboo thing for the Japanese entertainment industry, which is not like ordinary people's affairs, if a man robs another man's wife and takes this woman to live in other parts of the city, he can die of old age and never get along.
But this line is actually very small, everyone is mixed in the five major TV stations, and the so-called "co-performance NG" of one or two groups of artists can still be done, if it is the co-performance NG of two large entertainment companies, it will be a super troublesome situation, and it is completely impossible for each other artists to completely stagger each other, and once the two companies have a difference in momentum, and the larger company still insists on co-acting NG, the smaller company is likely to be crushed to death and can't raise its head.
Such a bad situation is not a no-go.
Therefore, the larger the company, the more it will try not to do this, and for large companies, the cost of spending resources to train a person is far less than competing with another company for an artist.
That's why Zhou Xiao was surprised, it's too rare for someone like HIRO to ask two artists who already belong here.
"HIRO-san, what do you mean ......," Zhou Xiao's tone changed to Yan sù.
"Don't worry, I'm here this time very seriously, and I sincerely want to talk to you about the two of them!" HIRO STARED AT ZHOU XIAO'S EYES AND SAID SERIOUSLY.
"Oh? Then I'll listen to what you have to say. Zhou Xiao said.
"Before coming here, I did some research on the current position of the two of them in the AKB, and I admit that they have indeed become members of the AKB." HIRO SAID SLOWLY.
Zhou Xiao is a dead CP party, which can be seen from her creation of Ma Youaili and the original cypress wood, which originally did not exist zài or was a very cult CP. Ami and Aya, that is, the pair of CPs of Aya Takamoto and Mami Nakajima, are also a good pair of members she launched in AKB.
These two girls should be considered older members in AKB, mature age, dancing, and singing, so that the two of them have always been quite conspicuous in AKB, Zhou Xiao estimates that the popularity of the two girls, even if they can't get into the eight-person position of the operation and strong push, they can occupy the last two positions in the top ten, why is it the eight people who are strongly pushed instead of the so-called god seven? Because the third phase of Mayou and Airi have always been put together. The popularity of the two girls combined, it is estimated that it is about the same as Mayou, who was fourth in the first general election in the previous life, and Kashiwagi, who was ninth.
As for the current cypress, he is still working hard with Fingerhara.
"They're very good, but I know very well that the two of them ...... You have a doubt, too. HIRO ASKED.
"Doubts?" Zhou Xiao didn't seem to know what HIRO was talking about.
"Hahaha, don't pretend to be stupid anymore, the real problem with the two of them, in fact, you know better than anyone else, the age of the two of them. That's the biggest weakness for AKB today! HIRO SAID.
Zhou Xiao was silent for a long time and didn't speak.
QUITE SIMPLY, HIRO'S WORDS ARE TO THE POINT.
Aya Takamoto, born in 1987, is a member of Mami Nakajima. Born in 1988. In the AKB, these are two years that definitely belong to the older age. Before them, the only people who were older or similar in age than them were Mariko, Yona Kojima and Yuko Oshima.
Obviously. It is impossible for these two people to compare with these three people, they are not popular and old at the same time, what awaits them is definitely the gradual decline of resources and popularity.
SDN in a past life. That's what accepts such members.
In this life, Zhou Xiao did not have the idea of establishing SDN, but the replacement of members, or the elimination of older members, still had to be carried out.
"HIRO-SAN, YOU'RE THINKING THAT'S GREAT, AREN'T YOU...... The two of them are indeed older members, but no matter how old they are, they are only twenty-one or twelve years old now, if AKB runs well, idols at this age can be done for at least three to four years, and an idol group, if it can hit for three to four years, it is already a long life, and it is likely that AKB will have declined in four years, and their value will not be much at that time, and they can leave. Zhou Xiao said.
"Zhou Xiao, I came to you because I believed in you, I studied your AKB for a long time, and the most surprising or strange thing about it is actually why you don't look like a person but a bit like a meal. I don't believe that you are the kind of person who only cares about making money for yourself, and doesn't care about the future of the members. HIRO SAID.
Zhou Xiaoyi smiled and said: "I do care about the future development of the members, but this does not mean that I will be restrained by you because of this!" ”
"NO, NO, NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT......" HIRO SAID.
"Okay HIRO-san, let's stop playing dumb riddles, what are your plans, sue me." Zhou Xiao said.
"Actually, my idea is very simple," HIRO said, "Both of them used to be members of dream, and dream was originally a group under Ai Hui, but the mayor of Matsuura Katsuren pushed them unsuccessfully, and dream was disbanded in '05."
For a period of time after the disbandment, they went to your side to audition and became members of AKB, but for the other members of the dream, they fell into the predicament of unemployment if they did not participate in the AKB audition.
These members of Dream later joined our company.
Recently, our company is also thinking about establishing an idol group, but most of the members of my company are girls who dance very well, but you know, our EXILE is originally in the form of a lead singer with a dance group, and a good lead singer is undoubtedly very important, I have been looking for a long time and have not found a suitable one, at this time, the members of dream recommended to me two girls who now belong to your AKB. ”
HIRO'S WORDS, ZHOU XIAO WAS REALLY SURPRISED WHEN HE HEARD THIS, HE KNEW SOME OF DREAM'S DEEDS, AND HE WAS REALLY SURPRISED. HIRO actually came to him because of this!
Could it be that this guy is really full of fairy tales?
However, after thinking about HIRO and Katsuto Matsuura, Zhou Xiao felt ...... The man in front of him, who looks like an underworld, may really think so.
The relationship between HIRO and Katsuto Matsuura is very good, that is because both of them are now very famous company controllers, and HIRO's LDH and Ai Hui have a lot of business cooperation, in fact, before 2000, Katsuto Matsuura and HIRO really intersected, when he was still the owner of the CD store, HIRO was the apprentice of Katsuto Matsuura who often went to the CD store at that time. Later, both of them entered the entertainment industry, and HIRO at that time was just a little dancer.
Later, HIRO's group disbanded, and in the face of difficulties, he ran to the bottom of Ai Hui's headquarters building to "block" Matsuura Katsuto, and finally let him seize an opportunity to meet Matsuura Katsuto, and successfully moved the other party to let him promote him, and let him serve as the dance teacher of Ai Hui newcomers.
Then, in 2002, he supported the establishment of EXILE. The one who established the company was also Katsuto Matsuura.
What Zhou Xiao thought of was that since HIRO was able to do the thing of running to Ai Hui under the building to block Matsuura Katsuren, it was normal for him to come and tell him that he wanted two girls now.
Especially when he thinks he and he are all the way. Pay more attention to the future of the members.
IT'S JUST THAT THE ABOVE THOUGHTS ARE ALL BASED ON ZHOU XIAO'S OWN SPECULATION AND WHAT HE KNEW IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, HIRO'S OWN INFORMATION, HIRO IS NOT REALLY SUCH A PERSON. Zhou Xiao can't be sure, because God knows which of the things disclosed in the TV media is true and which is false.
HIRO LOOKED AT ZHOU XIAO'S CHANGING FACE AND CONTINUED, "I KNOW. It's a bit too much to come and tell you that you want someone directly, but we are really short of two members who are the lead singers, and there are actually a lot of good singers, but there are really not many members who are so suitable......"
What he said is actually right, the most important thing for the two girls is to be suitable for the future HIRO's idol group, that is, the lead singer position of E-girls, from singing skills, to appearance and age, and of course, the familiarity and compatibility of the two with the team.
Zhou Xiao didn't speak, what he was thinking about was the years when the two girls were in AKB.
These two girls with very solid singing skills did not belong to AKB in their previous lives, so although they joined AKB, Zhou Xiao did not have too high a setting for their future path, his idea was at most to let the two girls withdraw from the group and fly solo after AKB became popular, forming a duo and the like, when AKB was the most popular, the purchasing power of the rice was very exaggerated, the first single of Tomomi Itano, the first single of NotYet, or something was over 200,000, these two girls, If a single can be released at this time, even if the sales volume does not reach 200,000 cheng, it can be expected to exceed 100,000 or even 150,000.
Zhou Xiao knows very well that this is not the best ending for the two girls, but this is at least a not bad result, and it is not even worse than the two leading positions of E-girls, the popularity of the E-girls group is really good, but the reason why it can have the popularity of the red and white debuts twice in 2014 is actually related to the development of AKB and the promotion of EXILE, it can be said that this combination seems to be strong, but at least in 2013, 14 years, There is still a certain gap between them and Momocao.
"Zhou Xiao, you see how this is, we LDH and you AZX form a new company, jointly operate a new idol group, this new company is mainly produced by us, and you AZX only have the two of them." HIRO FINALLY MADE HIS OFFER.
That's right, it's an offer, I want two girls to leave AKB to join E-girls, in the case that the two girls and Zhou Xiao still have a contract, it is impossible to say that they want to come, HIRO must pay the corresponding price, this price, now it seems to be the formation of the joint company, this joint company, and even E-girls, in terms of management and control, must also be done by HIRO, Zhou Xiao is just two lead singers, In the future, I am afraid that the company's shares will not even occupy 20%.
However, there is no doubt that HIRO's sincerity has arrived, and the formation of the joint company. In addition to sharing benefits to Zhou Xiao, it is more of a joint attitude and expression, indicating that the two companies will no longer be rivals but teammates from now on, and they will help and support each other more.
There is no doubt that HIRO's proposal for this cooperation is not bad news for Zhou Xiao.
If you want to say that Zhou Xiao and AZX, there is no shortage of money, no lack of people, and no shortage of future works, the only thing that is lacking is the so-called connections in the Japanese entertainment industry, Zhou Xiao's connections. In addition to the Tokyo station that has been operating for many years, only the line of Akimoto Yasu can be connected to Fujitai, tunnel duo and the like, as for Denis's cooperation, in fact, it is still a little short of the word network, although the two sides have a relatively good relationship, but the two sides are not good enough to be in the same breath and complement each other.
HIRO's request, Zhou Xiao's cooperation between AZX and HIRO's LDH. It is undoubtedly a powerful alliance with great potential, and what is even more powerful is that behind HIRO, there is also Katsuto Matsuura, the president of Ai Hui. In the history of Ai Hui's company, AKB also established an idol group after it became popular, but the SUPER☆GiRLS under their company, Tokyo Girls' Stream, or something, although backed by a super big company. But it didn't develop very well, and it was impossible for AKB to pose a threat.
If that's all there is to it, though. Zhou Xiao will not be satisfied.
"HIRO-san, can you tell me about the idol group you're planning to build? AKB must be the number one push target on my side forever, and I don't want to develop an opponent. ”
HIRO SMILED AND SAID, "OF COURSE, IT'S BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE IDOL GROUP ON MY SIDE DOESN'T HAVE A TOO DIRECT HOSTILE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE AKB, THAT I DARED TO COME TO YOU TO COOPERATE." ”
Next, HIRO began to explain to Zhou Xiao his idea of the idol group in his mind, that is, the future E-girls.
There is indeed a huge difference between E-girls and AKB on Zhou Xiao's side, and the most obvious difference is that the members of AKB are absolutely not okay if they are in love, while E-girls don't particularly care about this, and there are no love prohibition regulations, but the most essential difference between the two idol groups is not here but in their fan groups.
Needless to say, AKB's fan-themed groups are dominated by users such as otaku and otaku who surround Akihabara, and AKB itself has a temperament similar to 2.5 dimensions.
And E-girls are different.,As EXILE's sister group,,They don't naturally reject being associated with men.,This directly insulates them from otaku meals.,Japanese otaku.,No,Otaku all over the world.,In fact, the so-called innocence of idols has a high pursuit.。
E-girls, the fan group that is pursuing, is actually similar to EXILE, the pursuit of fashion, young people who have entered the society after graduating from high school, and more women are the focus of their attention, so relatively, E-girls are not particularly strict about age, like Takamoto Aya and Nakajima Mawei, at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, they can still do well in the team, unlike AKB, the graduation of 26-year-old Yona Kojima has become a major matter of national concern.
"That'...... Since that's the case...... I don't think the company we work with can let you put all the people out, so let's have a few more people on my side. Zhou Xiao rubbed his chin and said.
"Oh? Who do you come up with? ”
"Since it's a similar group to your EXILE-san, then our side of Matsubara Natsumi and others who dance better should have no problem if they join, right? There are also older members such as Yugari Sato. Zhou Xiao said.
HIRO'S FACE SANK.
He has some research on Zhou Xiao's AKB, he has obviously heard the names of several people in Zhou Xiao's words, none of these people are more potential important members of AKB, not only that, but the ages of these members are also older in AKB, let them transfer to the joint company, Zhou Xiao's purpose of getting rid of the older members is obvious!
"Zhou Xiao, what do you mean ......?"
"Akito doesn't speak dark words, we AKB, as a very' The combination of the house's,The age requirements are very strict,The members of the team,Unless it's a very popular and very special girl,Otherwise, after 20 years old,It's basically on the verge of elimination.,If we have a big AKB family in the future,Naturally, I won't care about feeding these few small members.,But now AKB is still expanding.,The metabolism of many girls is inevitable.,Once these girls move over,We also ask you to push them.,Just arrange something for them.。 Zhou Xiao said.
AFTER LISTENING TO ZHOU XIAO'S WORDS, HIRO DIDN'T ANSWER FOR A LONG TIME.
"Besides, I have a plan...... Zhou Xiao continued.
"What is it? You said. HIRO SAID.
"AKB's family now has school-based classes such as music and acting that regularly train members, and these classes are free to choose from on the AKB side, and only dance classes are required for everyone.
However, although we have to attend, our dance class teachers are not particularly good, at least not as good as your dance studio, once we make a cooperation, I hope that the dance studios of the two companies can cooperate in a certain way, and at the same time, these members who may have emigrated in the past can also play a role as a dance studio teacher, is that okay? Zhou Xiao said. (To be continued......)
