The announcement of this year's lineup of red and white was made at a special press conference, in which the female host first introduced the list of red and white members who appeared for the first time this year, and after these lists came out, this year's MC was announced.

There are a lot of gossip about MC's work from summer to autumn this year, from Yukie Nakama, who has the most likely, to Aoi Miyazaki, who became popular this year with NHK's own morning drama "Innocence Shines", to Tomonori Jinuchi and Norika Fujiwara, who got married at the beginning of this year, there are all kinds of legends. For the media who came to participate in the press conference today, what they are most concerned about should be the final candidate for the MC.

The hostess announced, "Let's invite this year's NHK Red and White Song Fight White Team MC, Masahiro Nakai of SMAP!" ”

"Bang bang." The audience was all reporters from various media, and in the face of the name Zhongju Zhengguang, everyone was not surprised, and they clapped their hands to welcome the appearance of Zhongju.

Zhongju took the microphone to the stage, with an expectant expression on his face, of course, what he was looking forward to was the expression of the people below when they saw that his partner was Zhou Xiao.

After announcing the middle house, the hostess continued: "So...... Let's welcome the ...... who will serve as the MC of this year's Red and White Song Battle. Mr. Zhou Xiao! ”

……

"Oooo At the beginning, everyone hadn't reacted yet, and their minds were still thinking about which actress Zhou Xiao was this time, and then ...... They saw a very young man come up with a microphone.

This Zhou Xiao is not an actress Zhou Xiao that everyone is not familiar with, but the one that everyone knows, and has made many miraculous records in recent years,...... Man Zhou Xiao!

Big news! Even some people who don't pay much attention to the Red and White Song Club will pay attention to the big news!

It's not that there is no precedent for a man to be a member of the Red Group at the Red and White Song Party, Miyata Hui, a big thing who has presided over many sessions, served as the Red Group Secretary for 55 years and 56 years, but this situation gradually decreased later, but I didn't expect this year. The leader of the red group is actually a man again!

Zhou Xiao, red and white, after the news came out, there were both excitement and doubts.

Excited people seem to think that Zhou Xiao's red and white appearance can bring rare vitality to this stage that has lasted for many years, and there are many doubting voices, after all, Zhou Xiao has not worked as an MC in any prime-time program before, and his only MC is in his title group "Flash Trip", and this show. Although the ratings have been good, there have always been rumors that they are going to enter prime time, but they have not moved.

Regarding the doubts, in fact, a reporter raised it at the press conference: "Mr. Zhou Xiao has not held any important hosting work before, can he really take over the first important hosting work is such a huge stage as the Red and White Song Society?" ”

In this regard, Zhou Xiao smiled and said: "I am the director of the red group, and most of the people in this position used to be used by actresses and singers, and there are not many cases where female MCs are used, and it may be precisely for this reason that NHK will choose me to be the director, so." I'm thinking that when I wait for the live broadcast, I can just come out in an evening dress. ”

"Hahahaha!" The reporters at the scene laughed when they heard it.

However, Zhou Xiao did not agree with this: "What do you mean, you come out in an evening dress at this height, so how can I stand next to you?" ”

There was another burst of laughter. Zhongju Zhengguang's height is only about 1.7 meters, standing in front of Zhou Xiao's height of more than 1.8 meters, he is already inferior, if he changes into an evening dress and wears high heels, Zhongju will not be able to look at it.

Zhou Xiao's appointment as the head of the red, white and red group quickly spread to everyone's ears like wings. And almost everyone will confirm it repeatedly after hearing the news: "Zhou Xiao, red and white, and the red group division?" ”

Unexpected. Surprising.

This incident also added another fire to his "Marriage Proposal", which is being screened on Fujitai.

After more than a month of broadcasting, the marriage proposal drama has entered a very hot state, this drama in the previous life, the first five episodes and the next five episodes are two styles, the first five episodes of the marriage proposal battle, the male protagonist reverses his image in the heroine's heart little by little, and makes things better little by little.

But in the sixth episode, the relationship that seemed to have changed for the better took a turn for the worse, and a move to fight each other made the fate of the two completely wrong.

In this part of the plot of the previous life, the sweetness of the fifth episode made the ratings of the sixth episode continue to increase, but the sadness of the sixth episode made the ratings of the seventh episode drop directly from 17% to 14%, and the huge number change can be called a dive.

The sad and low-rated seventh episode proves the fact that no one, whether in China or Japan, likes tragedy.

And the plummeting ratings of this seventh episode also made the ratings of the entire series fail to achieve a leap in growth.

In Zhou Xiao's opinion, the shooting style of this seventh episode is indeed a little too sad, the key is not the confession of Mr. Tada at the end, but the whole episode is filled with sadness, making people seem to have no way to reverse the pain of things, I am afraid that it is this kind of plot that makes the male protagonist lose his self-confidence, and once said that he didn't want to go back to the past.

And the change Zhou Xiao made in this seventh episode is to make the plot of this episode a little happier, become a little hopeful, and fill the entire plot with some other plots, and then leave enough hope at the end, so that the entire plot and ratings will not have too huge a drop, so as to lay the foundation for the take-off of the ratings in the future.

However, don't think that this kind of modification is an easy thing, the 11-episode Japanese drama is short and concise, although it is not like a movie, every scene and every subplot has a deep meaning, but it is also quite compact, it is not easy to delete what to leave in such a compact drama, Zhou Xiao must repeatedly revise and confirm to do it.

In fact, for most artists, on the one hand, on the one hand, reality on the one hand, and reality on the other hand, are their most basic professional qualities, and few people put the feelings in their work into reality, and many combinations with sparks at work are likely to be just ordinary friends or even not friends at all in reality.

Originally, this was an artist's professionalism. But there are exceptions to everything, and people's feelings are not something that can be controlled casually, many times, knowing that something is wrong, but there are still people who treat friends in the artist circle with their hearts and lungs, and the final result, some have been friends for life, and some have been betrayed and robbed of their boyfriends or girlfriends, and since then they have become disheartened in the entertainment industry and no longer trust anyone.

Zhou Xiao is not this kind of person. But Zhou Xiao is also very aware of the so-called friends in the entertainment industry he knows, and most of his understanding of their personalities comes from later generations very superficially, and ordinary people's understanding of celebrities should never be treated very sincerely, but ...... The favorite TV series in his previous life, the five-person group in his favorite TV series in his previous life, when there was a gap between filming, Zhou Xiao sat at the table with these five people, chatting while eating. In a trance, Zhou Xiao always felt as if he was really in the world of "Marriage Proposal......

Rei Yoshida, who has a beautiful smile, and Okueri, who is always playing with the crane. Ganxiong, who is like a hermit master, and his chest muscles are the most popular of all the people present, and he is the most popular period, but he admires himself very much. can almost be regarded as Ken Iwase played by Tomohisa Yamashita, who was picked up by himself...... The identity of the traverser, every time he comes out to make trouble at this time, he feels. Seems...... He came from the same world as them, and he experienced them in the same way.

Such Zhou Xiao can't and doesn't want to hide his heart, he really likes these five people, and even likes it so much that he hopes that this drama will never end, although he knows very well that this is impossible, because this drama will always end, because these five people don't care as much as Zhou Xiao, because there is a banquet in the world.

It is precisely because he clearly knows that he cherishes this precious reality all the time in his heart, and it is precisely because his eyes have already crossed time and seen the half-scattered future after many years, that he desperately wants to write down the present qiē.

Not just with the head, but even with the ubiquitous camera.

Almost all the processes in the filming, Zhou Xiao commissioned the three photographers of AZX to record them with three cameras constantly, these things cannot be put in the broadcast of the TV series, and when the DVD is released, it is expected that only a small part will be cut, but Zhou Xiao did not hesitate to pay for the money, he wants to record every minute and second spent with these five people in this crew, because he knows that this will be the most important ...... in his life. Treasure.

Maybe it's because the changes made by Zhou Xiao's version of "Marriage Proposal" really made the audience feel it, or maybe it's simply because Zhou Xiao's popularity played a role, the ratings of this work that now bears Zhou Xiao's name did not drop significantly when it was released in the middle of the release, and the ratings figure maintained at about 25% in the middle of a series is already a very high number, and even the first and last episodes of other works may not have such a high number.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, some works are applauded or not, and some works are scolded by many people but win super high ratings lightly, Zhou Xiao's work is applauded and popular, and the evaluation of this work is one-sided praise, critics from all walks of life have said that this is an excellent work full of true feelings, and what is even more commendable is that Zhou Xiao has debuted for so many years and has created various types of films, but it rarely involves the bright side of campus dramas, not describing various social dramas, is simply describing the dark rebellious side of the campus, and this time, he finally saw in him what a man in his twenties should have.

Sunshine, happiness, and true feelings, this should be what Zhou Xiao should pass on to everyone, not those gloom and pain.

By the time the seventh episode of the proposal battle on TV was broadcast, the filming of the proposal crew was about to be completed.

Zhou Xiao is really reluctant, this script has always been his favorite, and in the months of filming, he has deepened his love little by little. But a few months passed in a flash, and suddenly, the filming of this drama had come to an end.

Zhou Xiao has become very good friends with the five leading actors in the play, and the relationship between these five leading actors and Zhou Xiao is also quite good, can it be bad, it is not the first time that Yamashita and Chang Ze have cooperated with Zhou Xiao, but even if they have seen such an approachable director and investor, during the filming, almost every time Zhou Xiao went out with the crew, he came to pay for it, and he went out so many times. The food is not all ordinary things, many times Zhou Xiao takes the crew to have a big meal!

Millions of tuna, after splitting, invite the chef to make sushi for everyone to eat, braised prawns, even the miscellaneous AD who just joined the crew has a portion, Peking duck, a crew ate ten! To be honest, even if it wasn't their own money, the rest of the crew was a little reluctant when they saw Zhou Xiao squandering like this, Zhou Xiao spent too much money.

This is especially true for the five leading actors. In addition to what everyone has, these five people Zhou Xiao also specially equipped assistants and even those who don't have a car, and Zhou Xiao personally helped when he encountered difficulties in acting, and his patient narration was never a little unhappy, even if he had NG many times in a row, he still didn't care about patiently preaching, even if he had known that Zhou Xiao had a good temper, in the previous cooperation, Tomohisa Yamashita and Masami Nagasawa did not see Zhou Xiao have such a good outrageous temper.

Of course. And the five of them can also feel that Zhou Xiao really loves this drama and hopes to shoot this drama well, for this. He just let the good temper he had when he moved here become better, but if something hinders him from filming, and he can't solve it with his good temper, he doesn't mind turning into a bad temper instantly.

For example, during the filming of the fifth episode. Perhaps the atmosphere of the crew was too relaxed and pleasant, and an AD who had just entered AZX made a mistake and lost the props that should have been prepared. Zhou Xiao's original response was also very kind, when this AD came over to apologize and said that he had lost something, Zhou Xiao just said, "Lost?" That's no way, let the props crew make a new one, hurry up and at the same time, try to finish it before the official start of filming. ”

Originally, this matter ended here, as long as it was time for the official shooting, the staff brought the things, but what I didn't expect was that I didn't know if the staff was too careless, and when the official shooting came, the props hadn't been brought yet.

So after a lot of searching, the mystery was revealed, AD was indeed notified, and the props were done, but AD accidentally broke things again when he took the props for the second time!

The most unacceptable thing is that this AD obviously messed up twice, and when Zhou Xiao apologized here, he didn't even show any guilt, but just apologized to Zhou Xiao quite frivolously!

Surprisingly, if it were another director or investor, this matter might have been thunderous a long time ago, but Zhou Xiao still seemed to be very calm, but the words that came out of his mouth were not so calm.

"I didn't say anything about you the first time you made a problem, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but the second time you make a mistake again, then it's definitely not a problem of carelessness but your inattention, how many things I did for this film must be clear to you, really treat me as if I don't care about anything?

You won't use it tomorrow, and you will never use it again, not only will our company not use it, I don't want to see you in the Japanese entertainment industry again! ”

"Boss!"

"Boss!? Do you really think of me as your boss? Zhou Xiao asked disdainfully.

"Boss, I know, give me another chance!" This Zhou Xiao, who actually couldn't name AD, said pitifully.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's think about what to do in your next job. Blasting him out! Zhou Xiao said, he didn't shout or shout, as if these words were just his casual instructions.

"Boss! You can't do this! Even if I don't do it at AZX, you can't stop me from going anywhere else! ”

"Legally, of course I can't, but you can try, I've already said it today, you can try, the entertainment industry in Japan, who else dares to hire you for a job after I say this! What are you waiting for, blast him out! Zhou Xiao waved his hand like a fly.

AD cried and was carried out, and Uncle Inoue, who happened to be at the scene, asked: "Zhou Xiao, he is Dongda, he actually has a lot of potential......"

"Potential? East? How many people are this kind of person in the TV circle, Uncle Inoue, have you forgotten the conclusion I made when I chatted with Jun Tamura in the past? This circle is a circle that is highly anticipated, countless people want to sharpen their heads and get in, they want to mix in this circle, there are too many talented people, and unless you can be the king of kings by talent alone, you will never be able to get ahead! This kind of talent, huh! Zhou Xiao said disdainfully.

It is always very terrible for kind people to get angry, Zhou Xiao's rush not only made the crew fearful, but even quickly spread to AZX, within two days, some speculations about Zhou Xiao in the company were very loud, Zhou Xiao's approach was too ruthless, a young man who entered the entertainment industry after graduating from Tokyo University, originally had great potential, and may succeed in the future The young man who produced or directed the program was driven out of the entire Japanese entertainment industry by Zhou Xiao with a word, it turns out that Zhou Xiao is not blindly good-tempered or even easy to bully, the dragon has reverse scales, if you touch his bottom line, he will be unambiguous when he cleans up people! (To be continued......)
