Chapter 383: AKB's First Concert
27% of the ratings of the first episode, according to the habit of Japanese dramas, there are such ratings, and by the time the final comeback, the ratings are likely to rush to 30%! The current 30% is not the same as the 30% five years ago, and the 30% five years ago is very powerful but not unusual, but the whole of Japan is in the 30% when it was in the downturn, except for Zhou Xiao, I'm afraid that Takuya Kimura is here, and he can't get this rating on his own!
Zhou Xiao is also a little puzzled, his own ability, it should be no problem to increase the ratings of the series by about 3%, no matter how high it is, it is not realistic, and this drama is only about a year ahead of the release time in its history, it is impossible for the audience to watch how much novelty there is, plus the theme of the drama is strictly speaking, there is nothing new, why did it explode such a high rating all of a sudden?
Zhou Xiao, who was puzzled, had no choice but to put down his messy thoughts and continue to concentrate on filming, anyway, the increase in ratings is a good thing.
A week after the 27% rating of the first episode, the second episode of "Marriage Proposal" began to be broadcast, compared with the super high ratings of the first episode, the ratings of the second episode were only 21.2%, which can be said to be a diving plunge, but Zhou Xiao feels that this is also understandable, after all, you can't control what the audience watches at home.
What's more, even a rating of 21.2% is good enough, and Zhou Xiao shouldn't raise his expectations for this drama accordingly because the ratings were super high before.
It is impossible to say that such high ratings do not produce topicality, many media have reported in detail after getting the ratings report, Zhou Xiao has become a legend and benchmark in recent years, and has never disappointed.
It is precisely because of these large-scale reports that Zhou Jiao gradually understands why "Marriage Proposal" can get such high ratings, popularity needs to be accumulated, and the ratings are the same, although Zhou Xiao's works in recent years have different styles and types, they are very good in quality, and people will not have "Will this work be bad" when choosing his works. At most, it's just that it doesn't meet their own taste, this kind of confidence makes people not only ready to watch it after hearing that Zhou Xiao's new work has come out, but even pass the news to each other, and this year, the speed of the news can be delivered much faster than before, plus the Japanese have always loved popularity, for a while, don't watch Zhou Xiao's new work on Monday night? If you are in the workplace or going to school, how can you chat with your friends and colleagues when you get to work or school the next day?
It can be said that Zhou Xiao has been in the entertainment industry for more than six years. Having a group of meals that will inevitably be watched without considering the quality of their works when they are released is the biggest gain, this group of meals may be far inferior to Dennis's housewife Obasang in terms of purchasing power, and the fanatical Cheng dù is not as good as AKB's lifelong single dead otaku, but the scale of these meals is huge, they may not do much, maybe it's just that Zhou Xiao has a new work to watch on time, but anything more will bring people corresponding benefits and disadvantages, Zhou Xiao's meals, the benefits. is that his works have a huge audience group, and each of his Japanese dramas has a super appeal and ratings, and it will go on for a long time. Maybe some people will attack him for having moisture in his ratings, but this is purely the envy, jealousy and hatred of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour, and this kind of moisture in Zhou Xiao's works is probably something that screenwriters all over Japan dream of.
Even under such high ratings. Other things that Zhou Xiao did attracted more attention, such as AKB48.
Towards the end of the year, AKB is also in full swing preparing for its work. This work 1 is a concert, 2 is a new single, 3 is a new performance, and 4 is a new joiner, which is the third phase of the student.
And among them, the beginning of the first two is already imminent.
AKB's new single "I Want to See You" is the kind of standard high-sung, catchy brainwashing song, such a song...... If Zhou Xiao is selling such a work in China, and considering that he has so many previous works with high quality, I am afraid that many musicians will scold him for degenerating, but in Japan, a country where commerce and music are very developed, even if some people are not used to it, they will not stand up and say anything, and it is not a shame to make money here.
If such a single is released to a super-popular group, it may be able to get high results, such as Yuko Oshima's "HeavyRotation" in the later generation, which is a single like this, and the time it has been on the charts for a long time, and the time at the top of the karaoke chart is outrageously long, and it can be said that it is the most zài song in Japan in those two years.
But it's a pity that the current AKB is not the AKB of that time, so the sales of the song "I Want to See You" ...... The first week was 17,000, the second week was 21,000, and the third week was 22,000...... Week 6: 25,000 ...... And then...... off the list, ending her six-week ...... Wait, wait! I have to say that this song is really a highly sung work with divine comedy potential, because in 2006, six weeks after being on the list, in Zhou Xiao's history, starting from April 2010, with the explosion of AKB, this song actually returned to the list again!
And at that time, it was already the 181st week of the song's release!
In this 181st week, the song sold 231 copies, ranking 198th on the O chart, and even so, it is still very powerful, and this is not the only time this song has made the list! From 181 weeks later, 182, 183, 191 to 193, then 198, 205...... So intermittently, selling two hundred and three hundred and five hundred per week on the list, this song has been sold until the 277th week of February 2012, and the cumulative sales have also accumulated from 25,000 to 55,000, and in about two years, it has sold the sales of the previous release, this kind of magic watch xiàn, is what every popular artist will experience, in fact, not only this single, AKB's first single, but also rejuvenated a few weeks after the group fire, But the situation of being able to rejuvenate for two years after many years like this single is the least common and most powerful.
And on the same day that the song "I Want to See You" was released, AKB's first concert finally began.
As in the previous life, two concerts a day were divided into day performances and night performances, with the difference being that the day performances were normal performances, while the night performances were shuffle performances, that is. During the night performance, Group A members will sing songs by Group K, while Team K will sing songs by Group A.
Maybe it's because of Zhou Xiao's relationship, AKB's ticket sales for the first concert are better than AKB in the previous life, but even so, it can't fill only 1360 seats in the Japan Youth Hall, and the final attendance rate is about 80%, even if it's this number, through the curtains on both sides of the stage, I saw that the audience was basically full, and I was already screaming excitedly and nervously, and it has been less than a year since my debut. Almost all of their performances were in the small 250-seat theater in Akihabara, and looking at the double auditorium in this theater, the girls felt a little unsteady on their feet.
"What are you nervous about, you are going to go to the martial arts hall, the dome, and the National Arena in the future!" Zhou Xiao encouraged.
"What will happen in the future, it has nothing to do with now!" If the person who said this was Yasu Akimoto, the girls might just nod in agreement, but Zhou Xiao's words. The girls can still refute it, Brother Zhou Xiao is the most approachable.
"Then you must have the courage to devour heaven and earth!" Zhou Xiao said.
"Devouring the world also depends on the situation!" Feng Annan shouted, and as soon as she shouted this, the Zhijing step behind her pulled her. Signaling to her that although Zhou Xiao is approachable, he can't say anything, this sentence is too direct and hurtful, in fact, everyone knows it. Since AKB's debut, it has been slowly declining from sales to popularity, which makes the girls disappointed and at the same time has some doubts about the signboards of Zhou Xiao and Yasushi Akimoto. Judging from the current situation, AKB doesn't feel like it can become a super group after a fire, and maybe when the group can't sell in the future, it will become the dust of history.
It's one thing to think so in my heart, but I can't say that, and Mine Kishinan's words are too direct, giving people the impression that they have no confidence in the future of AKB at all.
"I know you don't believe me, but I have this confidence, AKB's sales are declining, because there is no topic in terms of publicity, but you can see that AKB's theater has gathered a certain popularity, and now, there are basically few vacancies for daily performances in the theater. It's just that the one-shot house business will soon fall silent again, I don't want such a combination, I want to do it, I will be an AKB that can survive in the world for a long time, I want to be alive from 2005 to 2020, and even longer in the future, and live better and better, I can be as famous as Genesys and the century-old Takarazuka AKB! And you are the pioneers! Zhou Xiao said angrily.
"Yes!" I don't know why, knowing that there may not be much hope for the future, the girls were still driven by Zhou Xiao's words and agreed loudly.
"Come on! Let's create a better future together! Zhou Xiao said.
"Let's go!"
With these words, the girls rushed to the stage in a very excited state of mind.
"I don't think you need to be like this, it's better to be a steady person." Qiu Yuankang said his thoughts behind Zhou Xiao, he felt that if he was a ruler, he might be more in the stands watching the girls pluck up courage or nervous voices tremble, and it is not his style to take the initiative to participate like Zhou Xiao.
"I know, but I can't help it." Zhou Xiao said with some shame.
AKB's two performances were still very successful on this day.,There's nothing to say about the normal first show.,Including group songs and solo songs.,At most, it's just a change of place for performance.,What really makes people talk about is the second performance.,In this performance,,A lot of unit songs have been adjusted.,For example, in this life, "Forbidden Lovers" was sung by Takamoto Aya Nakajima Mawei, and in this concert it was sung by Yuko Oshima and Tomomi Kawanishi, As for the original mention of Chinese and Western cuisine and Gaoqiao Nan, they were denied by Zhou Xiao.
And at the end of the second concert, as expected, Zhou Xiao appeared again.
The first time he appeared at a serious concert, Zhou Xiao was still quite nervous, looking at the girls on the stage, he opened the Wen Jiàn folder in his hand, and said loudly into the microphone: "Next, I announce that the performance arrangements for 2007 will be arranged." After entering 2007, the A3 performance and the K3 performance, which has not yet been performed, will be held for a while, and after that. We're going to have a surprise performance!
This so-called surprise performance is a performance in which the five performance singles and even the unit songs used by the two groups are disrupted, and the members and even the fans arrange the performance order by themselves! ”
"Oooh!" What does it mean that the fans below the stage were excited? It means that today's shuffle performance on stage is almost the same as going on in this way, and the combination that the rice wants to see can be performed in this time!
After announcing this, AKB's first concert was completely over.
If you want to say what is the biggest feature of AKB's concert, it should be...... Lose it.
A few years later, AKB's concert lost money, and now the first concert is not a loss.
The Japanese Youth Pavilion of more than 1,000 people is not full, even if it is full, and exquisite. It can be said that AKB's so-called first concert is purely to spend money to buy a reputation, in fact, the 2006 Japanese Youth Tube, the 2007 Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall, before 2008. AKB48 just held two concerts.
Not to mention these two shows, even the first song ranking held in 2008, the so-called requesthour, was in a state of unsatisfactory seats.
Of course, it is not quite correct to say that there is a total loss. Outside of the concert, AKB's various support goods were sold quite well, from notebooks to glow sticks. Japan's derivatives industry is a mature market, and it has historically been the largest source of operating recovery funds in this regard.
After the concert, Zhou Xiao appeared backstage again. In this first concert, the girls showed themselves quite well, gathered the members together Zhou Xiao said: "Today everyone is good, I hope you can continue today's performance, because of the relationship of time, many of you are still junior high school students, the celebration will not be held today, go home at night and sleep well, tomorrow night, everyone must attend the celebration banquet." ”
"Yes!" The girls shouted.
"That'...... Disband! Zhou Xiaodao.
The girls packed up their things and left, but the work of the staff was not over yet, and the entire venue needed them to clean up all night, but these things naturally had nothing to do with Zhou Xiao, and after helping to do it for a few minutes, Zhou Xiao packed up his things and was ready to leave.
As soon as he came out of the venue, Zhou Xiao saw three girls waiting at the door.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Of course I'm waiting for you, Brother Zhou Xiao." Mayu Watanabe said that Mayou and Airi of course also came to see AKB's first concert, in fact, it was not just the two of them, Zhou Xiao estimated that many of the members of AKB came to see this concert in the future.
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Brother Zhou Xiao, we are going to your house to play with Sister Xiaocang! Sister Oshima likes her very much and wants to meet her! Mayu Watanabe said.
"Looking for her?" Zhou Xiao asked, Yuko Ogura did come back recently, speaking of which, Yuko Oshima has similar names to Yuko Ogura, and Yuko Oshima's initial self-introduction is actually with the help of Yuko Ogura, who is now very popular, but Zhou Xiao has always thought that Yuko Oshima is just talking casually, Yuko Ogura This kind of girl, it should be difficult for the same sex to like it, right? I didn't expect Yuko Oshima to really like it?
"Okay, let's take my car then." Zhou Xiao had no reason to refuse, and drove home with the three girls.
As soon as Zhou Xiao opened the door after arriving home, he heard the voice of the girl in the room: "Are you back?" Wash your hands and eat. ”
"Sister Ogura!" Airi Suzuki's screams are not small.
"Hey! Airi? Yuko Ogura walked out of the back room wearing an apron with a plate in her hand.
It's been six years since I met Zhou Xiao, and in the past six years, Yuko Ogura has changed from a girl who doesn't know how to cook to a girl who is proficient in Japanese and even Chinese food, and she even found time to go to China to learn Chinese cuisine, in order to catch Zhou Xiao's stomach, in the past few years, although Yuko Ogura has slowly become popular, but as the closest person to Zhou Xiao, she also clearly knows how popular Zhou Xiao is and how much money she makes, the clearer she is, the more she can't leave Zhou Xiao, the comfortable life of these hundreds of square meters of apartments, This never needs to worry about money, and the freedom to do whatever you want makes Yuko Ogura more and more accustomed to Zhou Xiao, who never interferes with herself.
Yuko Ogura, who relies on Zhou Xiao, is not stupid, otherwise she would not be admitted to university, she clearly knows how many women are around Zhou Xiao, and she naturally knows that it is impossible to keep this man by relying on her young beauty alone, so relying on the opportunity to practice cooking skills near the water, grasping this man's stomach, and making men gradually get used to it and even inseparable from herself has become her choice. Over the past few years, Yuko Ogura's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, enough to start a title food show of her own. (To be continued......)
