There is a cartoon called "K-ON", the Chinese name is translated as "Light Sound Girl", in this animation, the protagonist of several girls formed a band, its target is the martial arts hall, among the large stadiums in Japan, the martial arts hall can be said to be the lowest threshold, as a symbol of the leap of artists from thousands of people to thousands of people stadium and has an important position.

If an artist can make it to Tokyo Dome, it usually means that the artist has reached the top A-list artist Cheng dù (except for Genesys). But this is not the case with the Budokan, an artist on the Budokan, first of all, it shows that the artist is also a first-line artist (may not be at the top), in addition, the Budokan can also be used as a proof and praise or even a summary of the artist's efforts in the past few years, such as ZONE is to hold a disbandment concert in the Budokan.

After Zhou Xiao arrived at the god performance venue, AKB members were rehearsing, this time the god performance was in the form of three performances in two days, because it was not a festival form like AX, so the whole stage performance was still based on singing and dancing, and there were not too many MCs arranged, Zhou Xiao's arrival was more of a sense of comfort for the members, so that the members would feel at ease.

Zhou Xiao, who arrived at the venue, did not go directly to the backstage, but sat down in the corner of the audience first, watching the rehearsal performance being carried out on the stage with great interest.

This god performance,Under Zhou Xiao's special care,Particularly highlight the personality of the members,The number of members in the three concerts is the largest in AKB's past performances,Ono Reina solo,Oshima Yuko and Maeda's solo,Even Itano Tomomi has a solio song,All kinds of solos and such as the original Kashiwagi,Amaru Asayo chorus,This kind of concert,I'm afraid it's a little boring for the members of the team who are worse.,Because they have few opportunities to appear.。 But for the members who were forcibly pushed, this concert is undoubtedly very prominent for them, which is what Zhou Xiao wants, AKB has gradually begun to become popular, and at this time, the potential members are highlighted, which can maximize the purpose of attracting new meals.

After watching the performance for a while, Zhou Xiao called an AZX staff member and said, "You go and call Kitahara Riying, Qin Zuo Kazuko, as well as Mariko Shinoda and Kiriko Takemura." ”

The staff went. After waiting for about ten minutes, several girls trotted over.

And in this effort, several staff members were also called over by Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao said to the four girls: "From today's concert to future concerts, the four of you can read more about the various materials of the concert organization, as well as costumes, lighting, stage settings and other materials, if you are interested in the future, you can try to put forward proposals and make these things, especially Qin." If you are now at SKE, you can learn more from the SKE staff, and if you can take on some of the SKE theater performances, concerts, and even songs. I'll be happy.

As for Shinoda and Takemura, the two of you can learn more from Chino Shinobi, and you can also try your hand at making costumes. Zhou Xiao said.

The four girls nodded in agreement, and Zhou Xiao added, "Of course." It's just something you have to do after work, and if your usual idol work isn't delayed, you can try these again. ”

"Yes!" The women replied again.

In fact, of course, it is not Zhou Xiao's first time for idols to do this kind of thing. The members of Genesys will participate in the concert system zuò and even the costume system zuò has been a good story many years ago, but there are still some differences between male idols and female idols, and really talented women usually rarely come to be idols, like Kitahara Riying, Qin Zuo and Zi are already more literate girls that Zhou Xiao can find out in the team very easily, he actually doesn't expect these members to really do anything, he simply wants this precedent to be created, Waiting for the girls who have the potential to participate in the system in the future, and the way of the members now and even in five or six years, Zhou Xiao can help them pave the way, and what the girls can do in the future is what Zhou Xiao is looking forward to the most.

Then came the rehearsals, and the day of intensive rehearsals passed quickly, and by the afternoon of the next day, the first performance of the god was finally about to begin.

An hour before the start of the show, the operation staff informed the members that a video would be shown on the big screen before the concert began, and the concert would not officially start until the video was over.

Thirty minutes before the start of the show, after finally confirming the order of all the performances, the members changed into their costumes and waited backstage.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Xiao arrived.

Holding the electric speaker, Zhou Xiao said to the members: "Since the establishment of AKB, you have been on many performances, and you have already had a lot of experience in concerts.

We're standing here now, NHKHALL, and there's actually no difference in rank from the Japan Youth Hall, where our first concert took place more than two years ago, and you've come a long way in the past few years, but don't rest on your laurels, and never forget that there are countless records in front of you, such as Budokan, Seibu, Tokyo Dome, Dome Tour, National Stadium, and even ...... The journey of the world tour, the road of idols, started in 2005, here is not the end, your real road is actually just beginning! ~”

"Yes!" The girls replied loudly.

Zhou Xiao put down the speaker and walked to the side, and after the members made a round formation, the concert was about to officially begin.

Outside, the venue was darkened, and the members on both sides of the stage and backstage were ready to perform in their respective positions.

Then, the first thing that comes to mind is the big screen on stage, with monitors all over the background.

The members all looked at the monitor curiously, they didn't know what video they were going to put today, but for Zhou Xiao and the bad taste of the operation, the members were already very accustomed to it, and everyone knew that the operation was going to do something to make a surprise announcement.

The first thing that appears in the picture is a shot of a group of girls making a circle formation.

"Oops, it's so annoying!" Atsuko Maeda, who looked up at the video, shouted, because what appeared in the video was the picture of their first round performance in their first life, and. Many students at that time saw that this video was taken by Zhou Xiao holding the camera at the time, and I don't know if Zhou Xiao knew that AKB would be Maeda as the center in the future, and in his video, Maeda is undoubtedly the center point.

The screen faded away, and when it lit up again, it was an outdoor scene, and some of the girls could see that it was an event near Akihabara, where AKB, which had only been established for a few months, had performed. It was their first outdoor performance, but at the time, almost no one knew them.

"At that time, after Brother Zhou Xiao was recognized, there were several layers of people around." Takahashi Minami looked at the picture and said with some nostalgia.

That's right, at that time, Zhou Xiao ran to the show with the members as a producer, holding the camera He stood under the stage like an ordinary photographer and no one noticed it at first, but as a non-professional photographer, Zhou Xiao was still a little bad at doing this kind of thing, and accidentally bumped into a girl when he moved with the camera. The girl just wanted to open her throat and shout indecency, but after seeing that she recognized Zhou Xiao, she was even more embarrassed, and the whole person shouted "Zhou Xiao!" Then he pounced, and Zhou Xiao, who was carrying the camera, was also taken aback. Before he could dodge, he was hit by the girl, and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl hung on him like an octopus, and Zhou Xiao couldn't run away if he pushed it away.

After such a fuss, the other spectators on the side also reacted. For a while, "Zhou Xiao!" It's Zhou Xiao! The shouts caused a stir in the audience, and no one was watching the performance that was going on on the stage.

The scene of the first outdoor performance fades away, and a third scene appears.

Two huge beads slowly move away from the sides of the stage. The third screen is the opening of AKB48's first concert and the removal of the two pillars representing the Akihabara Theater.

After the first concert, the rhythm of the video increased, and the second and third concerts also came as scheduled, and the girls found that these videos were basically recorded by Zhou Xiao himself, in fact, the whole video was edited by Zhou Xiao himself.

Suddenly, the rhythm of the video, which was getting faster and faster with the switch of the concert, slowed down, and Zhou Xiao's face appeared on the screen for the first time, but this time, it was not the video taken by Zhou Xiao himself.

And the words that Zhou Xiao said in front of him made the members of Fan and the members startled: "I'm very happy to be invited to play the red and white ...... But...... Allow us to refuse, AKB now...... Strictly speaking, I don't have the qualifications to stand on that stage yet, and I hope ...... In the future, AKB will really stand on the red and white stage as an artist, not as an introduction to the local otaku culture of Akihabara! ”

"Boom!" "Buzz ......" "Ahhh On and off the stage, all the members of the audience were frightened, and everyone didn't know that Zhou Xiao had refused AKB's invitation to participate in Red and White!

Many girls covered their mouths, they naturally knew what the red and white song would mean to an artist, if AKB was Zhou Xiao or Nantian Stars, artists like Miyuki Nakajima, rejecting red and white was naturally nothing, but as a small idol group, under normal circumstances, they didn't have any reason to refuse red and white.

It was in this context that Zhou Xiao really refused Bang Bai's invitation! In the video, the camera moved, showing the time at that time, the end of 2007, that is, what Zhou Xiao rejected was the red and white of 2007.

The plot of rejecting red and white passed quickly, the rhythm of the video became cheerful again, and Zhou Xiao's recording came again, the 2008 field concert, the first appearance of NHKHALL, then JCBHALL, Shibuya AX, and finally, today's NHKHALL.

In the video, the subtitle is typed, "However...... Is this the end? ”

"We want a bigger audience, a bigger stage!"

"Red and White Song Society...... We have to rely on our own popularity to go up step by step! ”

After three sentences, the camera flew out of NHKHALL and over Tokyo, interspersed with AKB's hard work and stage footage in the past few years, and the camera froze in one place in a rapid flicker.

The polygonal building has an ancient style, and the red plaques are a little unrealistic from a distance, but ...... Everyone present, whether it was the audience in the audience or the girls watching the video backstage, I am afraid that no one would not know the name on the plaque.

Budokan!

The picture gradually blurred, and a few large characters flew out clearly.

August 22nd, 23rd!

Rumble! The members of Fan He, who originally had a lot of resentment against Zhou Xiao, finally understood. AKB…… It's finally going to be a budokan, and it's a CON with three shows in two days!

For such a small idol group that started in Akihabara, Budokan is definitely a place to look forward to!

The video on the big screen ends here, and the DJ's overture voice quickly sounds.

"It's on, it's on! First song ready! The backstage staff shouted loudly, so that the members who were still a little distracted could get up and remember what they were about to do, this time the promotional video of the Budokan was not made at the end of the performance, they still had three concerts to perform, and there was no time for them to be sad or happy.

The first to appear were four girls.

Kojima sunna. Mariko Shinoda, Atsuko Maeda, and Mai Oshima, the foursome should be regarded as the foursome that shows their image most clearly in AKB, these four people are wearing black clothes and are painted with white skeletons, this song called the bone song, is AKB's traditional "Lori" song, usually with Okunami. Ono Reina is a Lori.,But it's precisely because of this.,When the four girls who have begun to show their maturity sing this song,,It's going to show a very special contrast cute.。

The opening of the bone song is special. After a song, the stage went dark, and soon the prelude to Group K's "Turning into Rolling Stones" sounded, and the members of Team K rushed in.

And the four girls who originally sang the bone song. They retreated from both sides of the stage.

"Clothes! Where's the clothes!? The girls on the stage sang loudly as they did in the theater, but the backstage voices were not small, after the four girls shouted. Someone immediately handed them clothes for the next song.

There was a makeshift dressing room next to the stage, where the four girls went in to quickly change their clothes, while the rest of Group A were already waiting.

"Ahh Headwear, where's my headgear? As soon as he got inside, Maeda poked his head out and shouted.

"Headgear!? Who saw Maeda's headdress? The girls asked.

"Go ask Shinobi! Where's Shinobu Konobu!? Maeda shouted.

"Backstage, right!? Who's going to ask!? After these words were shouted, everyone was stunned, and basically all the people present were inseparable, some were staff, and some were members who appeared immediately.

"I'll go! I'll go! Zhou Xiao, who was on the edge of the stage, found that he was the most idle among these people, so he immediately made a decision and volunteered to ask Xiao Ren.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, you ......" Maeda still wanted to refuse.

"There's no time for nonsense, which of you is as fast as me?" Zhou Xiao shut everyone up with one sentence, indeed, in terms of speed, how could a group of little girls compare to Zhou Xiao, who was at the peak of his physical fitness.

Running back to the backstage locker room, Zhou Xiao was a little worried, only the members and the clothing group led by Xiao Ren could enter this locker room, even he couldn't enter.

"Knock knock." Zhou Xiao had no choice but to knock on the door, shouting as he knocked: "Xiao Ren!" Maeda's headdress seems to have forgotten to take it! ”

Now that the girls are all going to perform, the only people left in the dressing room are the costume group, and after listening to Zhou Xiao's words, they quickly found a suitable headdress and handed it to Zhou Xiao.

After getting the headdress, he ran as fast as he could to the makeshift locker room on the edge of the stage, where the staff was already shouting "10 seconds left" and Maeda was already waiting there.

In the shouts of the staff "There are still 5 seconds", Zhou Xiao finally handed the headdress to Maeda's hand, and only Zhou Xiao has this speed in this matter today, for individual girls, it is likely that Maeda can only go out to perform without headdress.

A headdress may not be a big deal to the audience below, and it is possible that the audience will not notice it from the beginning to the end, but it is not the case for the performer, and for the performer, if it is not handled properly, it is definitely a huge mistake. Moreover, this kind of mistake must not be underestimated, and if there is such a small mistake, it is likely that there will be a bigger one, in which case, the operational aspect is unacceptable.

No matter what the backstage looks like, when the music sounds, the actors on the stage are the biggest, and for a performance on the stage, all the status and identity on the backstage are not important.

In such an atmosphere, the first performance of the God Performance Concert was in full swing, time passed quickly, Zhou Xiao was busy from the backstage to the audience, took a bunch of photos and returned to the backstage to help, more than two hours, for Zhou Xiao as if only thirty minutes had passed, in a trance, AKB's first performance today has reached the final part.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, it's time to change your clothes, wait for the next ......," a staff member came over to remind.

"Published? Oh! I know! Zhou Xiao said, he looked at himself, now he was wearing a T-shirt specially prepared for the staff of the god performance, and his hair was messy and carrying a camera, looking like an ordinary otaku who sneaked into the backstage. (To be continued......)
