A variety show is Zhou Xiao's biggest affirmation and expectation for Mai Oshima and Kazuko Qin Zuo.

These two girls were not members of AKB at this time in Zhou Xiao's previous life, the former had graduated for nearly a year, and the latter had just entered SK, but in his opinion, these two girls had the opportunity to make up for the weakest link in the early days of AKB's popularity, that is, the variety show image before the original growth into a monster-level variety show idol in AKB.

The appearance of idols in variety shows is a very, very important job, or any artist, which can actually be seen from the salary of Japanese artists, in the Japanese entertainment industry, there are two kinds of jobs that earn the most, one is the creator, and the other is the artist who has more on the variety show.

The former has all kinds of copyright royalties, and in Japan, which can be called the best country in the world for copyright maintenance, a country where you have to pay for the name of an artist on TV, and live a lifetime by a song, it is definitely not a singer who can shout it, but the creator of a song.

And the same is true for artists on variety shows, ordinary artists can get 200,000 yen in unconventional variety shows last time, this is still the price that can be obtained in today's industry that is shrinking more and more, in terms of unit price, of course, this price is not comparable to the millions of TV series starring big-name actors and actors, but please pay attention to the words used before stating this matter, ordinary artists do not get much on unconventional variety shows, but ordinary artists may be able to get a lot of shows a week, no more, 5 shows a week, you can get 1 million.

But what about the actors? 1 million for an episode of Japanese dramas is already the price of the protagonist and the supporting role of the big name, no matter how fast the filming progress of your crew is. It also takes a week to shoot one episode, no matter how model you are, at most there will be one or two films a quarter (one protagonist and one supporting role or both are supporting roles), how can such an actor compare his income with variety show artists?

Of course, it does not mean that the income of actors is low, the income of actors is in other aspects, for example, if an actor wants to appear in a variety show, he will get more money than an ordinary artist on a variety show as an actor, and the actor is more powerful in advertising and other work, an advertisement takes fifteen seconds to one minute. The shooting time is usually about a day, but the price, the popular artists are calculated in tens of millions, and the super popular artists are not a problem to call 40 million or 50 million, like Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Tada and the like, if you take on 145 advertisements a year, the income is estimated to be 500 million.

But...... Idols are usually the ones who don't like to be on variety shows the most......

Especially girl idols, most of them are ordinary little girls. A lot of them haven't graduated yet, what do they know? If they talk about their dreams, it is, of course, to sing brightly in front of the stage or to fall in love with handsome guys from all walks of life while filming, which is the dream that girls should have in their hearts. On the other hand, what about variety shows? Surrounded by all kinds of strange uncles telling pornographic jokes and sacrificing image funny, a careless person may miss the opportunity to speak and ask a person's heart. I'm afraid that no one wants to do variety shows, because this road is too difficult.

Variety show hanging, on the table xiàn on variety shows. In fact, strictly speaking, there is no difference from the creator, the creator creates music or TV drama scripts, and variety artists are "creating" variety shows on the spot, singing and acting all over Japan, if one person can't do it, maybe you can change one person, but variety shows, the table of famous variety show artists is difficult to be copied by another person, such as saury, such as Tamura Jun, such as 99, their table on variety shows, there are 130 million people left in Japan, Can you find an artist who has the same style as them and can still show Xiàn?

Absolutely, very difficult.

For the idol industry, you can train Maeda to cultivate Mayu Watanabe, who dare to participate in the idol audition, many of them are members who are very beautiful and sing well, but a person's sense of humor, and even variety show ability, is difficult to see lightly, not that this person is very interesting in private, he will definitely be a good variety show, those famous funny people in history, like Mr. Bean, Andy Kaufman, Stephen Chow, many of these people are very dark in reality and may even have been plagued by depression, The same is true in Japan, where Yoshihiro's loneliness and Rina Hara's darkness are obvious examples.

Of course, it doesn't mean that only such people can be funny artists, but this at least fully shows that a person's ability in this regard, it is difficult to see it if he does not really try it or even try it many times, humor is not a tutorial, and the most talented, this thing ...... In many cases, even if 99% of the effort is put in, the result is the same.

In such an environment, what kind of valuable wealth is it for an idol to have variety show ability, just look at the current situation of several variety shows in Zhou Xiao's previous life HKT being scrambled, AKB's big group pavilion festival, each group added to HKT is only a girl, but what about HKT to other groups? Tomoyori Nakanishi moved to AKB, Marika Tani moved to SKE, Anna Murashige concurrently served as NMB, and Nanazumi Tanaka concurrently served as SKE...... The entire HKT's young variety shows have been almost wiped out, in fact, it is also clear if you look at the part-time positions of other groups, such as the migration and part-time work of NMB Ogasawara Moyu and Ayumi Kotani, which are also the hunger and thirst of each group for variety shows.

And the decline of SKE, it can also be said that there is a lack of members in the variety show, and it is difficult to bring out the benefits of the team, so Gu Zhenjia will be moved to SKE and be operated to be very reused, not only did she have her own link in the title group soon after she moved, but the red and white in the AKB group in 2014 gave her a center opportunity.

What Zhou Xiao didn't know was that not long after he traveled over, in his time and space, after Gu Zhenjia entered the selection of SKE's new single, his position was also in the middle of the second row, that is, the position that was easy to see at a glance in the middle of W Matsui, this position was ...... You can see her at a glance in various performances of SKE, and think about HKT, this position...... But it has always been the exclusive of the house sister.

For Zhou Xiao, he is not worried about AKB's future performance in Japanese dramas and music, because of these two aspects. AKB has enough talented members, but variety shows ...... Zhou Xiao, who traveled through his previous life, found that in addition to those variety show members who have become famous in the AKB group, the rest of the members can really provoke the pillars of variety shows, not even this kind of thing, there are not many people who are willing and have even a little bit of talent, more girls will only giggle and sell cuteness in front of the camera, have no desire and no talent, and do such a job that requires potential in variety shows.

Since it is difficult for potential people to appear among the young members, Zhou Xiao has no choice but to tap the older members. Or look beyond the village of the previous life.

And there are three people who were selected by Zhou Xiao, Mai Oshima and Kazuko Qin Zuo are two older people who must be retained, it is best to stay until Rino Fingerhara won the championship, and the other person is Ruriko Kojima, who is an eighth-term student, this is a very, very huge potential, and it is even possible to take over the members of the AKB variety show class leaders after the transfer of Shihara to HKT, and even the two members of Nakanishi Tomoyo Ri and Ogasawara Moyu, the two members of the top variety show ability in AKB, are far from their potential members, Plus the girl's rather cute and beautiful appearance. After 2014, it is definitely the most important chess piece of AKB.

Mai Oshima and Kazuko Hasa variety shows, coupled with a large amount of exposure from AKB, started in 2010. AKB has already been confirmed as a national organization, and with a lot of exposure, there is actually only one person who is really popular and known to the world, and that is Atsuko Maeda.

Don't look at Zhou Xiao, it's pushing this and giving that person a variety show. But the image of AKB, the way AKB looks in the eyes of the world at this time, there is still only one person's image that exists.

Atsuko Maeda, a member who has been at the forefront of the team since the establishment of AKB. At this time, it played the role of AKB's face, and after AKB became popular, basically at least slightly important programs, you need to invite Maeda to come out, outside Maeda, even if Mai Oshima has even more popularity than Maeda outside the village, it is difficult to get people's attention to Maeda, everyone looks at Mai Oshima, and all they think of is just her, and when you look at Maeda, you will think of AKB.

This is Maeda's good, and of course it is also bad.

From January 10th to January 20th, in just ten days, Maeda fully experienced what it means to be popular, and the girl did not go home at all during these ten days, she basically only did two things, work, and on the way to work.

Eating and sleeping are carried out on the road, at this time Maeda has no time to film, her main thing, more than 50% of the work, is to cope with all kinds of interviews and magazine shooting, the current Japanese people, AKB is still in the stage of ignorance, so about Maeda's interview and shooting, mainly for the public science AKB, the girl said over and over again, in fact, are some useful and useless clichés, but these jobs are indispensable, because everyone has to see these things, No ordinary person can receive the same information as the rice eaters right away.

After 10 days, Maeda finally got a chance to stop a little, and on the evening of the 20th, Maeda was told that he could go home and rest, because tomorrow, AKB's song ranking concert AX100 this year will start.

This year's AX100 is very different from the previous two years......

The first two years, especially the first year of AX, were really not even satisfied with the AX theater, but what about the current AX? The operation has not dared to buy tickets in the way of sale, so it can only be selected, although it is only the first day and it will start in the evening, but at nine o'clock in the morning, the area around AX is already full of AKB rice, at this time, AKB rice is the most energetic, when you are most interested in AKB, AX outside the line of peripheral sales has already been full of rice, and more people are communicating with each other, exchanging AKB photos in each other's hands.

By the time the afternoon opened, the atmosphere outside the theater was at its peak, and the scene was not only outside the AX, in fact, at this moment, dozens of movie theaters across Japan were repeating a similar state of affairs, from Hokkaido to Fukuoka, all AKB rice began their four-day journey.

While the people were looking forward to it outside, in the AX Theater, AKB was also in full swing preparing for a qiē.

Although Maeda was told that he could go home and sleep last night, in fact, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when he was notified, and it was already 11 o'clock in the evening after taking a car from the last place of work. At six o'clock in the morning, the girl had to get up, and the girl who lives in Chiba Prefecture had to leave her home quite a few times earlier to come to AX at eight o'clock in the morning.

Maeda, who had barely slept in the car for a while, finally arrived at AX at 7:50.

At this time, most of the AKB members had already been rehearsing for a while.

No one blames Maeda for coming late, the time Maeda came was actually the time arranged for her by the operation, because now she is the busiest person in AKB.

"Maeda-san has entered!" "Prepare the first song!" See Maeda arrive. The staff members ran around in a hurry, some came over to take Maeda's things and took her to the dressing room, while others went to the other side of the stage to inform the theater to prepare for rehearsals.

followed the staff all the way to the dressing room, and met Zhou Xiao in Maeda on the way.

"How did you sleep after that?" Zhou Xiao asked. At the same time, neither he nor Maeda stopped moving.

"Slept well!" The girl gave Zhou Xiao a big smile, and this smile was actually ...... A little haggard, almost completely without makeup, the jaw and forehead are a little abrupt. Coupled with a slightly gray face, such a smile cannot be called beautiful in any way.

Zhou Xiao also looked at it tightly, AKB's popularity. instantly filled this girl's body with an incomparably heavy burden.

But he didn't say anything, and what could he say? It seems that the popularity has brought a lot of work pressure and a very busy job for the girls, but in fact, it is only a few short years of their lives. In the eighty years of life, what the girls are doing is great, because the vast majority of them. What they are doing now, they will spend the next sixty years of their lives to remember and remember, human beings are such creatures, the most glorious time of most people's lives is only a few years, and the rest of his life is spent in nostalgia for that brilliant life.

What the girls are experiencing now is their most brilliant life, and Zhou Xiao is not qualified to let them slow down at this time, because once they slow down, the remaining 60 years of the girls' lives will definitely regret that at this moment, they did not do their best to work hard.

So Zhou Xiao didn't say anything, he just walked with Maeda for a while, and the only thing Zhou Xiao could do was to accompany her on this road, help her, and let her finish this journey in a better state.

So when Maeda entered the dressing room to put on makeup, Zhou Xiao turned around and went to get busy with his own business, and a few minutes later, a staff member walked in and asked, "Is it Atsuko Maeda?" ”

"It's me." Maeda looked at this staff member through the mirror, as an AKB staff member, how could this person not even know himself?

"I'm Mr. Zhou Xiao's personal doctor, and he asked me to come over and give you a massage." The face-to-face staff member said.

Of course, Zhou Xiao's personal doctor usually doesn't do this kind of thing, but recently AKB's work is too busy, and even Zhou Xiao has been a lot busy, so this personal doctor has been with him for a few days, and today, AX, seeing that Maeda is very tired, Zhou Xiao simply took a picture of his own doctor who is also excellent in health care compared to medical skills, you know, this doctor usually serves as his personal fitness trainer in addition to being Zhou Xiao's doctor, and has a high level of fitness, massage, link fatigue, etcAnd, of course, his salary is just as worthy of his job.

After the private doctor massaged Maeda for about ten minutes, Maeda had to stand up and go to the stage for rehearsals, there were not many opportunities for her to appear today, but there were not many of them, and the training that was supposed to be done yesterday was also because the work did not catch up, so today I had to hurry.

All the way to the stage, there were already several girls waiting on the stage.

"Ahh Masuyama! Ozaki! The day before yesterday he shouted excitedly.

The girls waiting on stage were the same ones who had graduated from AKB48's first phase of life, and this time AX invited them all back and appeared with Maeda in the first song.

The first two years of AX, although there were also people invited back, but not too many people cared, because the first two years were not long before AKB was established, and not many graduates left, and the more critical reason is that AKB in the first two years was just an ordinary idol group.

But this year has been different, since the beginning of this year, there is more of a feeling of "you see we are popular but still thinking about you" when you invite people back, and most of the graduating members, especially those who are not very good, also cherish the opportunity to appear here, so this time AX, the members who can come back are back as much as possible.

Rehearsals, lunch, and rehearsals were in full swing, and it was almost five o'clock in the evening, and the audience had already entered the venue and filled the entire AX venue, as well as in movie theaters all over Japan, and then, the lights in the venue dimmed, and the 2010 AX was finally about to begin, what will be the result of this year's AX song rankings? And at the end of the end, will Zhou Xiao still appear? Zhou Xiao...... Will something be announced? (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
