Chapter 689: Two forces, intrigues
There is no doubt that the two Earth Snakes are already of a very high level.
In a country like China, it would be very easy for any existence of this level to stop a company opened by someone with almost no background in China.
Zhou Xiao didn't know what Qiu Yuankang and the company did when he was away, and for the next two whole days, he continued to work in Beisanlu.
Kindness...... It could have been done in a day if I could, but ...... That kind of thing happened to Murahana at the beginning of the series, and the state of the two at this moment can be said to be in full pleasure, Zhou Xiao naturally ignored many other things, and worked hard to extend the part that could have been filmed in one day to two days, and it was not until two days later that he returned to Tokyo contentedly and continued to be his AKB producer.
Even on the bus back to Tokyo, he was still thinking about the time to shoot the next 80s drama, looking forward to when he would see that innocent but very charming village flower again.
But after returning to Tokyo, without thinking about those things, Zhou Xiao was directly thundered by a message.
Akimoto almost got beaten up when he was running errands in China......
Although he didn't really beat him, but just a few gangster-like people came to threaten him, and he was easily stopped by the surrounding staff, but this thing still happened.
After getting the news, when Zhou Xiao saw Qiu Yuankang again, he let out a very rude, terrible and malicious laugh, Rao is Qiu Yuankang has lived for more than fifty years, and he is still embarrassed by Zhou Xiao's face is red.
"Okay, so what the hell is going on?" Zhou Xiao asked after laughing enough.
"This thing...... Maybe that's normal for China? Anyway, after I followed the normal procedure a few times, I didn't think there was much to change, so I wanted to go to the theater you had already chosen.
As a result, as soon as something came out, I met a group of thugs, and the key is that this group of thugs started with a porcelain. I was stopped just as I wanted to get out of the car, and I wondered why I was stopping me, but a large group of people suddenly rushed out and startled me, if I hadn't come out, maybe I would have been attacked. ”
"So how did it work out in the end?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"At that time, there were a total of three cars with more than fifteen people, and there were also cameras, and the most important thing was that there was a bodyguard hired by the company at that time, so although they held each other for a while, the other party quickly retreated." Akimoto said.
"Humph!" Zhou Xiao snorted.
"What's wrong?"
"That's it. At that time, you just came out, I'm afraid that those little gangsters won't do anything to you, if they dare to do this, they must have their own ideas, if they are really asked to do something to you, those little gangsters will not give up so easily.
But by then...... But it's a diplomatic incident, even if they beat me, I'm afraid the diplomatic incident that will not hurt you as much, and I still know them about this. Zhou Xiao said.
"So you mean, they're just scaring me?" Yasu Akimoto asked.
"It's supposed to scare us all. That means that we may not dare to do anything to you, but if you open a theater in the future, the two of us can't stay in the theater all the time. When the time comes, the members and staff of the theater will ......
It's really a good idea, and I don't even want face for the sake of money. Zhou Xiao said disdainfully.
"Feeling...... It looks like Japan about 20 years ago, haha. Akimoto said with a smile.
"Was this the case in Japan 20 years ago?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"In short, it is definitely not a rare situation, by the way, I heard that before you went to China. Did the Prime Minister see you? Yasu Akimoto asked.
"Yes, Prime Minister Noda did call me back for a meeting." Zhou Xiao said.
"You have to be careful, it's actually a little bit more direct on the Chinese side. The current situation on the Japanese side is to put a lot of things on the table to do, although it seems to be a lot more than the Chinese civilization on the face, but there are a lot of intrigues behind it, you have to be careful. Yasudo Akimoto.
"Yes, I've already been reminded of that by a lot of people." Zhou Xiao said.
"I'm relieved if you know it in your heart, as for the Chinese side, you don't have to worry too much, don't look at me, I have almost never developed in China, but I still have a little face in Japan, and the Japanese ambassador has already raised concerns with the above." Yasudo Akimoto.
"Are you trying to ......?"
"Cut through the mess quickly, they think we will be afraid of causing trouble and try to avoid it, this time we must let them know that we have confidence!" Akimoto said.
"Okay, in that case, I'll help too, I can't let them look down on me." Zhou Xiao said.
After chatting with Qiu Yuankang for a while, he was going to call Pan Jiale immediately, how to say that he was also found by Pan Jiale personally, responsible for the existence of bringing the relationship between the two peoples closer, it is really unreasonable to be blackmailed by the head snake and the like, he doesn't care what Pan Jiale will do after taking the matter, in short, Zhou Xiao is absolutely going to do this matter and is not ready to give anyone other than AZX the right to speak, and those who want to stop him can only witness his determination to this matter.
After chatting with Yasusu Akimoto, Zhou Xiao devoted himself to the filming of "Sea Girl" again, but his mood of wanting to see Murahana was a little difficult to achieve, because most of the filming revolved around the modern role of Nengnian Reina.
When he received news from Yasu Akimoto again, as well as SNH, Sae Miyazawa and others, more than half a month had passed.
Another thing Zhou Xiao was surprised that the matter had not been resolved.
"The determination of the other side is simply incomprehensible, and even a personal phone call from the Japanese ambassador has not solved the problem." Akimoto said.
"Can't the ambassador go out?" Zhou Xiao was also surprised, the role of the ambassador of a country is still quite large, and Zhou Xiao's side can be said to be the one who occupies all the truths, plus Zhou Xiao's side sacrificed the Japanese ambassador, and the relationship between Pan Jiale's side, it stands to reason that there is no possibility for the other side to stand in front of it anyway.
"Why the hell can the other side still carry the front in this situation?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"And, don't forget, what we are opening in the magic capital now is just a theater, and the investment from the theater to recruiting people is very large, and more importantly. AKB is now testing the waters abroad, and no one can guarantee that it will make money.
What these people paid for such an AKB...... Too much!
So...... I guess there must be other people or forces joining in! ”
"You mean...... They sniped AZX together? Zhou Xiao asked.
"They may not have thought of making a move together, but there is no doubt that this matter has made them cooperate with each other!" Yasu Akimoto expressed his speculation.
"In addition to the above words, it is possible to cooperate with them...... I'm afraid there are only media groups that have gradually taken shape in China! Zhou Xiao also speculated.
"Zhou Xiao, I'm sorry...... I clearly said that I could definitely solve this problem, but the Chinese media forces ......" Akimoto Yasushi stopped talking.
"I understand Mr. Akimoto, this is ...... It's hard for us to be Japanese, so let's find out first. Zhou Xiao said.
How does he go about it? Very simple. This may be difficult for Japanese people to listen to due to language barriers, but the Chinese side of AZX is much easier to do.
casually found a few people from related film and television companies to knock on the side, and soon understood the reason why the mainland media can be so strong.
AZX and Zhou Xiao, ordinary Chinese people may have a relatively one-sided understanding, but in terms of China's media, including TV stations and entertainment companies in several large provinces and cities, they are all perennial types of Japanese program research, how can they not understand Zhou Xiao's influence in Japan.
Now that the Raptors are about to cross the river, they will naturally worry that their market will be thinned.
"And ......" Zhou Xiao took the report that he finally handed over, his face full of disgust.
"Do you even have to stick a stick...... he muttered.
That's right. South Korea has long formulated a China strategy, and the entire South Korean entertainment industry is at this time a time when China has invaded China on a large scale and achieved considerable results, and Koreans must know themselves very well, China, a giant. It was very difficult for them to get a piece of the pie, and the Japanese ...... How much of the entertainment industry in South Korea was learned from Japan, and they themselves couldn't be more clear.
Local government, local media. There is even the South Korean side...... And...... It is likely that the other party sacrificed the righteousness of 'Sino-Japanese relations' during the internal discussion, and those people patted the table and shouted protest during the meeting, so that it was possible to block the full set of procedures on the AZX side plus the identity of Yasusu Akimoto and the care of the Japanese ambassador.
"So many forces...... How to deal with it......" Zhou Xiao thought as he rubbed his chin.
In fact, two ways to deal with so many forces can be thought of quickly.
Divide a batch. Pull a group, hold a group, step on a group This is the first type.
The second is to continue to use a clear plan to show the sincerity of AZX, drive public opinion with the attitude of a victim, and defeat all the voices of resistance in one fell swoop!
If it is according to Zhou Xiao's personality and habits, he is more inclined to the latter, he is a person who has always been accustomed to using clear schemes and hates stumbling behind conspiracies, which also makes him act very openly and honestly, and it is difficult for many people to find weaknesses even if they try their best.
But this time, he hesitated.
The second method is indeed above board, but it is ...... will offend people.
Even if he did the right thing, even if these people couldn't find any reason to deny him through the things he did, it would still be very offensive.
It's nothing to offend one or two people, and one or two forces are nothing, but if you offend everyone in one go, it's not worth it.
Therefore, although he didn't like it in his heart, Zhou Xiao finally chose the first way.
Since you want to use the first way, it is natural to choose the object of cooperation.
Provincial media in several provinces, several music and film and television companies, and a few single-person companies dominated by big-name stars, these forces, just choose a few to cooperate with each other and let them tear each other, Zhou Xiao should have no problem dealing with the rest.
Merely...... Does he need to do it himself?
He doesn't feel that his status is too high, and those people are not worthy of him, the key is...... He's been busy lately, needless to say, it's time to enter the AKB general election time, and he should normally stay in Tokyo as much as possible, not only to deal with AKB's affairs, but also to take this opportunity to promote AKB.
And Zhou Xiao himself is also quite looking forward to this year's general election, you know...... Maeda will still participate in the general election this year...... In the end, Maeda can win the championship or Yuko can win the championship again. Zhou Xiao really wanted to see it.
Finally, two days later, Uncle Inoue took off in Tokyo with Zhou Xiao's care.
He wants to replace Zhou Xiao to negotiate with the major forces in the country, and select a few suitable forces to cooperate.
Uncle Inoue came to the mainland, the imperial capital, the magic capital, Yangcheng, and Shudu with the translator.
But...... It's not like they're completely unnoticed.
Including the local government figures in the magic capital that Zhou Xiao met before, including several major media and even South Korea, they all paid attention to it quietly.
These concerned people all laughed after watching Uncle Inoue walk around, because they found that their goal had been achieved.
Uncle Inoue...... Didn't get the slightest chance.
Yes. Zhou Xiao can think of each break, how can the Chinese on the opposite side not understand the vertical and horizontal!
Before they did it to AZX together, they had already contacted and agreed not to betray each other in this matter, if it hadn't been agreed long ago not to do anything to each other, these ordinary relationships would definitely not be good, and the media, which may even be called enemies of each other, would never dare to cooperate with each other, or even leave their backs to each other!
Uncle Inoue didn't get any chance, and the TV station and the Demon Capital Snake and others laughed and bent over.
After confirming that Inoue didn't get any chances, including Wang and Li. In addition, the heads of Hunan Provincial TV, Modu TV, Yangcheng TV, and even the staff of the South Korean side in Modu gathered together. talked about AZX and Zhou Xiao.
"Unexpectedly, we have been playing for so many years, and finally got together because of outsiders." The TV station said.
"Yes, China and South Korea have such a good cooperative relationship. The Japanese invaded us back then, and we all know in our hearts their evil intentions, and we absolutely cannot let the Japanese gain a firm foothold in China! On the South Korean side, it is the tone that "the friendship between China and South Korea depends on Japan."
"yes, yes! They must not be given a chance! The TV station also chimed in.
In fact, these words are also face-to-face projects for everyone. Everyone is well aware of the delicate relationship between China, Japan and South Korea, and for these Chinese people, they definitely do not have a good impression of South Korea, but they have cooperation with each other, and everyone sits down to eat together.
"Do you think the Japanese side will respond in any way?" Someone asked.
"Japan is different from South Korea, they are not familiar with the Chinese market, so even if they react, it is probably a very immature or naïve reaction, so there is no need to worry about it at all." I said to someone who was consciously familiar with the Japanese side.
"What about Zhou Xiao?"
"Zhou Xiao? He is still like the essence of Chinese still grew up in Japan, and his understanding of China, even if he has some, must be very one-sided, don't care too much! Someone said.
"In that case, we are relieved!" Everyone said.
Especially when Uncle Inoue came back with people in vain, the people in the magic capital were even happier.
It wasn't until two days later that Zhou Xiao invited AZX's press conference.
"In terms of AZX, we have formed a strategic cooperation with Sony China, and there will be many cooperation ...... between the two sides in the future," said the host of the press conference.
A simple piece of news directly destroyed the original alliance relationship.
Sony...... This company is a rare world-class entertainment company, the reason why entertainment is called a circle, because the circle is large and small, and many times the circle is very closed, European and American entertainment circles, Japanese entertainment circles, Greater China entertainment circles, and even Indonesia, Thailand, and even Singapore, all have their own entertainment circles.
In such a world, the vast majority of entertainment companies can only focus on one country and one place, and any company that wants to develop in other countries, just like AZX is now, even if the strength is not high, and it does not say how much market it wants to occupy, it will definitely encounter local forces, and it may even be great resistance from the local government.
But Sony, in this state, has a very large influence in Europe, America, Japan and Greater China, and many super artists belong to Sony, which is fateful to its ability.
Zhou Xiao's AZX also has some cooperation with Sony, Nogizaka 46's music contract is on Sony Music, and this time Zhou Xiao's cooperation with Sony Music is aimed at the Greater China region.
However, in addition to AZX and Sony, in fact, the success of the cooperation between the two sides is also due to the fact that Yoshimoto Kogyo is lubricated in it, because of the existence of Yoshimoto, a unique company that is mainly engaged in funny, Sony is much more interested in cooperation.
In terms of specific cooperation, Sony has supported AZX and Yoshimoto in Greater China, and AZX has taken on the support of many projects for the development of Sony's artists in China in the future, especially in variety shows.
The reason why Sony is willing to exchange this condition is mainly to be optimistic about Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao's genius in variety show production is also very optimistic about Sony, according to estimates, China is likely to be a variety show based decade in the next ten years, and the development of Chinese variety shows will definitely get better and better, Korean variety shows or something, maybe just like Korean online games, let the Chinese learn, and it will be anti-dumping in the future.
Compared with Korean variety shows, Japanese variety shows are obviously superior, and the Chinese entertainment industry in the future is likely to turn to Japan after sucking South Korea dry. (To be continued......)
