Chapter 522: Qin Zuo Kazuko's Chance

What does the popularity of an idol group show in Tongguò?

Most of the time, the most popular thing that highlights the popularity of an idol group is sales.

At the time of the Kitten Club, the 52-week Oricon weekly list of the year, the Kitten Club occupied 38 weeks! AKB is certainly popular, but in terms of explosive popularity within a year, AKB can't compare to the kitten club.

Of course, this also has something to do with the special period that the kitten club was in, there were not many ways for people to contact new things in 86, the huge popularity of the kitten club was a match made in heaven between TV and girl idols, and 86 was the hottest time in Japan, when you could afford to buy a qiē, at this time, there was enough money to buy a champion single for 38 weeks a year.

After the kitten club, the most popular symbol of Good Morning Niang, and also the period of millions of singles, from this point of view, AKB still belongs to a very traditional idol route, and what is really out of sales is like Kana Nishino and Momoiri Clover, the former relies on the explosive popularity among students and the most commonly used online distribution among students to achieve huge sales, and the latter relies on a large number of TV exposure, network traffic, and the wonderful table of live performances Xiàn to win.

AKB's sales have reached the level of 100,000 on the first day of the single "Surprise of Tears", and what is surprising is the strength of this song, although it is only a general list, but with the help of the summer festival, the sales of this song, which was already 160,000, once again exploded with nearly 10,000 sales, directly sending the total sales of the single to the position of 170,000.

Not only has it achieved amazing results in sales, but the recognition of this song among ordinary audiences is also quite good, and after years of accumulation, the popularity and recognition of ordinary audiences have reached a very good level, the most obvious example is that when this single was released, "musicstation" made a plan about birthday songs, and "Surprise of Tears", which had just been released, finally won the fourth place on this list by virtue of its topicality and AKB's current popularity. It's also a big upset.,You must know that MS does this kind of project is selected from ordinary people.,AKB's current popularity can't radiate to most ordinary people.,Especially older ordinary people.,So,If you want to successfully get the front position in this kind of survey.,You have to get an overwhelming advantage in the young camp.,This.,It seems that the AKB girls are doing a good job.。

High popularity, good sales. The topic is enough, and all kinds of things are ready, AKB's birthday song has successfully entered the top 10 position on the new karaoke chart, which is already quite good, this is a feature song, and most of the people who can sing this song are here to celebrate their birthdays, that is, people who will sing this song every day, and people who will come to celebrate their birthdays. On average, it is only one-third of the general population, and being able to squeeze into the top ten of the charts in this situation is another proof of the popularity of this song.

So popular, so sold. In AKB's recent program, some media have begun to call it the city's new "national idol group"!

This title is not easy, you have not reached a Cheng dù, and the operation side does not dare to call it so directly.

AKB has been working for this title for almost four years. Now that they are called like this, some Japanese audiences will still complain, especially some other girl groups, and they will think that AKB is still early. But no one in the entertainment industry in Japan will refute it, on the one hand, there is nothing wrong with exaggerating like this, on the other hand, everyone can see that AKB's general trend has become a success, and the current combination has Japan's top die-hard rice class, in the past, they still lacked an opportunity to become popular, and now there is a handshake will be with the summer festival and even the final general election Budokan concert such a beautiful set of boxing, AKB is difficult to think about whether it is popular or not.

After the final establishment of AKB's cabinet roster, the entire AZX entered the intensive preparations for the Budokan concert.

AKB's early concerts are actually nothing to say.,The current AKB concerts are relatively pure.,Mainly singing and dancing.,There's not much money for other things.,AKB's concert was when AKB first went to Seibu Dome.,It started to get a lot of huge sets.,Before that,Even if it's almost the same as the 2010 general election celebration of Yoyogi's performance,The size and scale of its set is still in the ordinary category.。

So this preparation is not about the set, but about the whole concert choreography.

Today's AKB is actually very different from Zhou Xiao's AKB in his previous life, and even in the most fundamental performance song of AKB, Zhou Xiao has made a lot of corresponding adjustments, plus personnel adjustments, and the previous general election ranking must also be reflected, so the arrangement of the entire concert has still made a lot of corrections.

What makes a year different for you is the concert design, not Zhou Xiao and the operation side to do it, the three teams of AKB, as well as the two teams of SKE, each team sent a person to apprentice the production of the whole process, Zhou Xiao did not expect them to soon become members who were qualified to produce concerts with everyone, but this kind of training is very necessary in Zhou Xiao's opinion.

In terms of selecting these five members, Zhou Xiao's requirement is that this person should be older, and only members who are mature enough will have mature enough ideas, eleven or twelve-year-old girls, strictly speaking, are only junior high school students, Zhou Xiao is not a child, but it is still difficult for a child to be an adult on this occasion that obviously needs experience.

In addition to these two basic requirements, Zhou Xiao also added: "If you can, it's best to choose which one is more interested in idols itself, or a talented member in singing and dancing." ”

So in the end, the members of the five teams were Minami Takahashi, Ayaka Umeda, Yuki Kashiwagi, Ai Li Furukawa, and Mizuko Sato.

It is normal for the soul of AKB to enter the list of these five people, Zhou Xiao has actually always hoped that Takahashi Minami can take on more responsibilities in AKB, not just an idol, he hopes that Takahashi Minami can become the most important leader of AKB, not just the kind of member leader in his previous life, Zhou Xiao even hopes that she can take over the position of AKB theater leader in the future.

Of course, one of the most important questions about this kind of thing is whether Minami Takahashi herself is willing, girls have their own dreams, and this dream will certainly not be to run a girl idol group but a singer. Famous artists and the like, it will take a long time for her to become Zhou Xiao's ideal person.

Then there is Umeda Ayaka, a girl in group K who is good at singing and dancing, many people are curious about why she is not in the list of e-girls, the main reason for this is that Zhou Xiao feels that among the members of the e-girls, group K has already occupied the main camp power, and too many people have moved in the past, the vitality of group K will be greatly affected by Shanghai, and Umeda's popularity is also very high, and she can enter the top 16 in the general election in the future She is very outstanding in appearance and singing. Even if she moves over, Zhou Xiao hopes that the girl can move over in a higher position, rather than as the head of Takamoto Aya Nakajima and Mawei.

There's nothing to say about Yuki Kashiwagi again, AKB's idol house, and he has a lot of experience with many things about idols.

As for Furukawa Ai Li, she is also an idol otaku, and her artistic literacy is also very good, and she has enough ideas to participate in the concert production.

Speaking of which, Furukawa Ai Lee has a small episode.

In her previous life, Furukawa Ai Lee was first known for her crazy infatuation with Reina Matsui, and it was even rumored that she entered SKE because she longed for Reina Matsui, and the situation became delicate in this life. Reina Matsui has become her junior, what will happen if a senior likes a junior very much, pointing out that Rino Hara's treatment at HKT is enough to show that Reina Matsui, who has just joined the group, has suffered from Furukawa Ai Lee's "love" and ...... "ravaged".

And the last Sato Miyako eldest sister. I also like idols very much and are mature enough, and her importance in the KII team is also very obvious.

The five girls quickly joined in the preparations for the concert, and many of them sounded very unrealistic, naïve and impossible to achieve. But since they are allowed to join, they will naturally listen carefully to their construction, so their construction. The operation can do as much as possible, even if it can't be done, I will try to explain to them why they can't or why they can't do it even if they can, so that they can get familiar with the operation of the entire idol group concert as quickly as possible.

AKB's summer festival and budokan concerts are not supposed to be a promotional period, but if you want to talk about the publicity period, this period is the period when the tickets for the budokan concert began to go on sale, but with AKB's current popularity, tickets for the two-day Budokan concert have already been sold out, and ordinary viewers can't buy tickets even if they want to.

It was at such a time when it was surprising that one of the members of the AKB actually participated in the filming of a prime-time show.

This show is "Mechaike" that Zhou Xiao participated in before, that is, the longevity title show of the funny group 99, and the project that this girl participated in is also the exam plan that Zhou Xiao once participated in.

It's not that Mechaike is the only project for this project, it's really ...... This girl is so suitable for this project.

This person is ...... Qin Zuo and Zi.

Qin Zuo and Zi's appearance in "Mechaike" was won by Zhou Xiao, and it stands to reason that she is unlikely to be qualified to participate in this kind of prime-time program, but for so many years, Zhou Xiao has maintained a very good relationship with the 99 group and the entire "Mechaike" program team, so his recommendation, the program team still accepted and let Qin Zuo and Zi participate in the filming of the new exam plan.

The exam planning that Qin Zuo and Zi participated in is very special, because Zhou Xiao participated in the behind-the-scenes and script production of this episode of the show, but did not participate in other people's script production but produced almost the entire related project of Qin Zuo and Zi, that is to say, most of Qin Zuo and Zi's performances on the show were actually Zhou Xiao's scripts and not the girl's own play.

In variety shows, in fact, everyone is more cautious about making programs in this way, because there are too many scripts, and the ability of the participants in the variety show itself is actually not up to the standard, like many variety shows, although there are scripts themselves, but the artists' own play is also very important, only those who can organically combine these two points can be regarded as top variety show artists, and artists who can only follow the script table xiàn, once they are out of the script, they don't have to take off too much, even if they are only part of it, It's also easy to make her true form.

But Zhou Xiao still let Qin Zuo and Zi do it. Because he can't wait for the day when Qin Zuo and Zi slowly grow into a good enough artist. Qin Zuo and Zi herself are very talented as variety artists, in her previous life, she was limited to her age and position, so that the operation would not push her too hard, this life is actually about the same, her age seems too big in the operation, so, while AKB has not really become completely popular now, Zhou Xiao feels that it is necessary to push her out first, this opportunity is only once, after AKB really becomes popular. The resources were given to AKB, but there was no chance for her.

So, when the show was recorded, the first time it was recorded, and the part that was filmed was the part where the exam members entered and answered the questions, and this part Zhou Xiao did not write a script for her but let her play by herself, because this part started with the whole person, and if she told her, it was difficult for the girl to show enough acting skills.

What is a variety show? In fact, in the eyes of many artists. Variety shows are exaggeration, exaggerating one's own appearance, exaggerating one's character, and magnifying a qiē on the TV screen. in order to achieve good enough results.

From this point of view, Qin Zuo Kazuko's seemingly exaggerated personality is a huge advantage in itself, so when the door of the "classroom" suddenly opens, Qin Zuo Kazuko's frightened face appears on the TV screen. Even without a script, this all-natural table Xiàn still gets a pretty good response.

Speaking softly, like a small animal, her whole body jumped. Then he ran away exaggeratedly and hid.

The camera of the program team chased after Takashi Okamura in 99, and found that where the girl was hiding, her whole body was trembling greatly, and when she talked to her, her voice was also trembling with excessive fright, which made the audience both hilarious and a little distressed.

The first impression is very important, and the girl's appearance this time is undoubtedly extraordinary, so even if the answer part of the later exam, the girl's table is ordinary, she is still remembered by many people.

After the end of the answer, the first recording of the show was over, and after saying goodbye to the program team, Qin Zuo and Zi took the car directly to AZX, and the girl who entered the office saw Zhou Xiao.

"How's that, today's recording." Zhou Xiao asked.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, did you let me be on this show?" Qin Zuo and Zi asked.

"I said last year that I was going to push you and Furukawa Ai Li, I'm sorry that I'm just giving you this opportunity now." Zhou Xiao said. Furukawa Ai Lee already had a Nagoya local variety show with MC as the main MC at the beginning of the establishment of KE, and although Kazuko Qin Zuo had already appeared in AKB's internal variety shows, it was not considered to be pushed by Zhou Xiaoqiang for a long time.

"I'm very grateful for this opportunity, and it's such a great show." Qin Zuo and Zi hurriedly said.

In fact, she was already a little dead to the so-called strong push, because Brother Zhou Xiao didn't act for a long time, but she didn't expect that Brother Zhou Xiao would still think about her when AKB was so busy and gave her such a big gift.

"Okay, don't thank me, take a look at the script, I have some ideas for your next shooting, you can remember it if it's appropriate." Zhou Xiao took out a script and said.

Strictly speaking, this script is not a complete script, because there is no head and no tail in the script, at most it can only be regarded as a collection of some "jokes", because these jokes themselves are a collection of some jokes that Zhou Xiao has seen, Qin Zuo and Zi themselves.

"You try to remember these things, when the script on the TV station is done, I will also contact the other side to finally make the complete script, you just need to remember these jokes and play them out at the right time." Zhou Xiao said.

"I ...... May I? Qin Zuo and Zi hesitated.

"If you can't, no one can." Zhou Xiao said.

"Huh?" Qin Zuo and Zi were taken aback, Brother Zhou Xiao's words were heavy enough.

"I've been observing you for the past few years, your personality and your abilities, I feel like I still know better, what kind of environment are you suitable for playing, I also thought a lot, and according to your abilities, I designed this script, this is a script that belongs only to you, your own role, will also be the most special role in the whole Japanese variety show circle, this script can only be done by you, no one else, without your character, it is impossible to do the best in this script.

So, you have to understand that this script is really only you can do it. Zhou Xiao said.

"Good...... All right! Brother Zhou Xiao, I will work hard. Qin Zuo and Zi said.

"That's right, remember to show yourself well, don't think too much, just look at this as an ordinary variety show, I won't give you any requirements, and I won't let you promote anything, you just need to show yourself." Zhou Xiao said.

In fact, he also knows that this point may be difficult for girls to do, but ...... These things always have to be said, Zhou Xiao doesn't want girls to participate in a show and be nervous to death and end up with nothing coming out, such a prime-time variety show will not be recorded repeatedly because you are a little artist.

And finally, in everyone's anticipation, the "Mechaike" in which Kazuko Qin Zuo participated began. (To be continued......)

PS: I seem to have missed writing before, and the single "Tearful Surprise" contains both voting coupons and handshake coupons, and then you can use the handshake coupons of this single to participate in the summer festival, and it seems to be said to use the next single before, but in terms of time, AKB's real total announcement of the ranking single "Maybe It's an Excuse" hasn't been released yet, and it won't be released until after the end of the group festival.
