Chapter 565: "Mom is an Idol"

"Come on, come on, sit down." Zhou Xiao stood up and said.

"Brother Zhou Xiao!" Maeda was flattered when he saw Zhou Xiao standing up.

"Have you eaten at noon?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Ah, haven't ...... yet" Maeda seems to have been busy with work just now, so he hasn't eaten yet.

Zhou Xiao picked up the phone and called the staff: "Send four bentos, they want to be different!" ”

"Let's eat together at noon." Zhou Xiao said.

"Ah...... Good...... Good. Maeda said that it was normal for Zhou Xiao to eat with the members.

"You've been busy lately, haven't you? Got time to sleep? He asked.

"It's really busy, even if I have time to eat, I'm in a hurry, and I haven't been home for half a month." Maeda told the truth.

"It's been a hard time for you." Zhou Xiao said.

The current AKB, although other people are also busy, but Maeda is Maeda, as the face of AKB, her busyness is incomparable to the following members, even Yuko Oshima.

"It's nothing, this kind of busyness is happiness." Maeda said.

Zhou Xiao didn't believe what he said, because the girl was too weak when she said this.

After waiting for a few minutes, the staff delivered the lunch.

Zhou Xiao put the four bento boxes on the table in front of the two and said, "Okay, start eating, don't think about anything when you eat." ”

"That...... Brother Zhou Xiao. Maeda hesitated.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhou Xiao handed the chopsticks to the girl.

"Do you want to eat it now? The other two ......," the girl said, pointing to the four bentos.

"There's no one, just the two of us."

"The two of us? Eat four bento servings? Maeda asked in surprise.

"More than four? I can eat about one and a half servings, can you kill the rest? Zhou Xiao leaned forward and whispered, "If it's not enough...... Shall I order another one? ”

"Brother Zhou Xiao......!" Maeda looked very moved, covering his mouth with one hand and looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"Uh...... It's just that I ordered you an extra meal, I know you like food very much, if you can't eat it, pick and eat, these four are different, just eat it! Zhou Xiao said.

"Brother Zhou Xiao...... It's so handsome......"

"Huh?"

"You're so handsome...... Brother Zhou Xiao......"

"It's handsome to prepare two servings with you? You're going to be a super fat guy when you're thirty! Zhou Xiao said.

"No, I don't have a physique that doesn't get fat no matter how I eat." Maeda said a little shyly.

"I used to think like you, but when you're 25 or 30, you don't think like that...... Don't ask me how I know. Zhou Xiaodao.

"That'...... Then I'm going to eat more now! After Maeda finished speaking, he stuffed a large piece of egg roll into his mouth.

…… All right.

Zhou Xiao simply slowed down the speed of his eating and focused more attention on Maeda, who was eating.

People like Maeda feel happy when they see her eating, a spoonful full of rice that is bulging and how high it is, chewing desperately so as not to touch the lipstick on her lips with her mouth closed, and a pair of big eyes still staring at the other food on the table when eating......

A girl's eyes can shine, it is definitely very cute, now Zhou Xiao's eyes Maeda is in this state, the original Maeda, the fatigue of the days made the girl's face very gray and unenergetic, but now Maeda, Cheng DΓΉ with his eyes open is the first time Zhou Xiao has seen it in his life, and his happy expression seems to be overflowing at any time, which makes people can't help but admire in their hearts, this so-called fully charged Ah Sauce, this is this state, right?

Maeda didn't seem to notice that Zhou Xiao was staring at her, with an extremely happy and satisfied expression, the girl ate one bite and one bite, and swept most of the four boxes of bento in a few minutes, originally a girl, unless it was the legendary big stomach, it would be so difficult to eat no matter how hard she said, but Maeda did it, although this also had something to do with the rice she barely touched, which was already quite exaggerated!

When she was almost finished, the girl noticed that Zhou Xiao was staring at her, and her face turned red all of a sudden, even the heavy makeup she wore to go on stage couldn't hide this blush.

"Don't be shy, I'm Brother Zhou Xiao who has been with you for five years, if you can't treat me as a relative now, I'm going to be angry." Zhou Xiao said.

"Even if it's my brother, the process just now is too bad!" Maeda hugged his head very cutely, and was extremely annoyed.

"Nonsense, that's bad? Let me tell you, if you are looking for a boyfriend in the future, you must not find someone who hates your appearance, do you know? The way you eat can bring happiness to the whole world! Zhou Xiao said.

"Really...... It's true? Maeda said.

"Huh? That's right. Zhou Xiao suddenly remembered something, he stood up, rubbed his chin and ran to the side, muttering words in his mouth.

Maeda didn't feel strange when she saw Zhou Xiao's appearance, she smiled, put down the tableware in her hand, picked up the drink sent in with the bento and sucked it, while sucking the drink with a straw, the girl looked at Zhou Xiao happily and thought, "Brother Zhou Xiao, did you suddenly think of any inspiration?" I remember that when I first entered the AKB, I was handed a pamphlet called 'How to Use Zhou Xiao', which said that once Zhou Xiao lowered his head and thought about it, everyone was not allowed to disturb and try to keep quiet, because this was his signature action to find inspiration. ”

After walking around the room a few times, Zhou Xiao sat down and said, "Maeda, you and Shinoda ...... How about doing a food show together? ”

"Me and Mariko SAMA?" Maeda was surprised.

"That's right, Mariko she's been a couple of years...... The cooking skills are quite good, she cooks for you, two cute idols, her cooking skills plus the way you can make the world happy, plus one or two funny artists, it should make a very good show, right? Zhou Xiaodao.

"Do you ...... show your eating in front of the TV? Good...... I'm so shy......" Maeda said.

"I'm shy, but I'm ...... You can eat a lot of world-class food. Zhou Xiao said.

"Okay! I agreed! "The light in Maeda's eyes is almost more than a searchlight!

"Wise choice! I'm going to gather people for a meeting tomorrow to discuss the possibilities! Zhou Xiao said.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou Xiao!" The girl smiled sweetly.

"By the way, you don't hate variety shows, do you?" Zhou Xiao asked. It's not without reason for him to ask, after Maeda's girl graduated, in addition to movie promotion, there were few opportunities to appear on variety shows, and with her personality and the table on the TV show, there are not many TV stations and variety shows or even MCs that can really be controlled, so Zhou Xiao will have such worries.

"Variety show...... It's a bit of a painstaking thing, but if it's a food show, I'll try to do it well! Maeda said.

"However, it may take some time to determine this, maybe it will not be done until next year or even next spring." Zhou Xiao said.

"Huh? Why? Can't schedule it? Maeda asked.

"yes, because I'm thinking about ...... Enable you to shoot a prime-time TV series. Zhou Xiao said.

"Again...... Me again? Maeda asked.

Why again? Because "Malu Suga Gakuen" is the absolute protagonist of Maeda.。

"I ...... Can I really? Maeda asked with some concern.

"Although you are the absolute protagonist of "Malu Suga School", this drama has to describe other roles more, so your own role is not strictly speaking the absolute protagonist, and the real protagonist of this drama should be the entire AKB." Zhou Xiao explained.

"Even so, I'm still the main character...... Brother Zhou Xiao, is it really necessary? Maeda said.

Zhou Xiao felt very weird, why did Maeda care so much about other people's reactions? It's not scientific.

He didn't think too much about it, and asked directly: "Why have you been an idol for a few years, but you don't become professional?" ”

"Not professional?"

"Yes, when working in the entertainment industry, the first thing to pay attention to is that everyone is a working relationship and a rival with each other? Remember that this question has been emphasized from the beginning, right? Zhou Xiao said.

"Didn't you say it Brother Zhou Xiao? If AKB wants to succeed, infighting is absolutely not allowed, and even if you want to fight, you have to wait until AKB becomes a super idol group, and in the past few years, although we have all kinds of problems, and we have a good relationship with each other, and some have a bad relationship, but everyone is still very careful not to fight. And we've been together for so long, and we've gradually become friends, and as Takamina said, in the past few years of work, we've spent more time with each other than with family and friends. Maeda said.

"Do my words work?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course it works, in the past few years, Brother Zhou Xiao's words have been used by us to eliminate differences, once the members quarrel, in the end, they will always say that Brother Zhou Xiao doesn't want us to fight, and then everyone will stop arguing.

So I felt that instead of letting me be the main character, I should let other people have more opportunities, such as ...... Yuko? Maeda said.

Zhou Xiao was silent, he has been with AKB for the past few years, but he didn't expect that he already had such weight in the hearts of girls, maybe his savings, his hard work and dedication to AKB in recent years, is the biggest difference between him and Yasu Akimoto.

However, this does not mean that he agrees with Maeda's idea.

"AKB now, there are not many people who can carry the protagonist, you are one of the few cards in my hand, even Yuko is difficult to do, so this starring role still has you to do, as for the opportunities of others, don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"Okay...... Then Brother Zhou Xiao, what are you going to let me shoot? Maeda didn't insist, and nodded when he heard Zhou Xiao say this.

"I've reviewed your work schedule before, and in October of this year, you have an offer for the role of a second-in-command, right?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Well, it's "Q10" filmed with Ken-san Sato." Maeda nodded.

"This drama ...... There is another "New Tricks Boys and Girls" invitation that I declined. Zhou Xiao said.

"Huh? Why? Maeda asked.

"The quality of the script of the drama "Q10" is good, but I think this drama is more suitable for ordinary actors, if it is you, you can do more with your identity and topicality.

As for the "New Tricks Boys and Girls", there is no need to shoot it, that drama is your predecessor in the company, Maki Horikita, the previous work, and the key is that the filming time of this drama is not early, the Horikita Maki version was filmed in 2007, and it is difficult for you to shoot it when the audience's impression of her has not disappeared, and it is difficult for you to get any benefits. ”

"That'...... What kind of new work is Brother Zhou Xiao going to let me make? Maeda saw that Zhou Xiao had denied two dramas one after another, so he asked.

"Well...... This drama is actually a remake, and the name is "Mom is an Idol", ......! ”

"Mom is an idol?"

"That's right, this used to be a TBS drama broadcast in '87, and I'm going to let you and Ai Hashimoto of our company play the heroine and the second female character in it." Zhou Xiao said.

"Why did you make this show?" Maeda asked.

"The plot of this drama is also quite classic, the top idol marries the person he longed for when he was a child, and the whole drama mainly describes not the love affair between the idol and her husband but the family relationship with the three stepsons, this drama not only corresponds to your identity, but also improves your favorability." Zhou Xiao said.

The reason why he chose this drama to be Maeda's first starring role was that Zhou Xiao also spent a lot of brain cells. The two works of the girl in the previous life in 10 years and 11 years, "Q10" is actually a good work, but Zhou Xiao feels that the filming time of this drama is in the most popular period of AKB, and if you can, it is the most important thing to compete for the greatest success in this period.

As for the latter "Boys and Girls Over New Tricks", it is a big stain in Maeda's life, and taking over the filming of this drama is the biggest mistake of her and the agency behind her.

Since these two dramas are not ready to be filmed, Zhou Xiao began to consider other dramas suitable for girls, this drama is best a campus drama or other dramas suitable for girls, and at the same time, this drama cannot be a dark work nor can it be too outstanding, it is best to have Maeda as the protagonist, so many reasons put together, Zhou Xiao finally chose the drama "Mom is an Idol", the reason why he thought of this drama is because Zhou Xiao thought of the "Dad is an Idol" filmed by Jin Hu Liang in 21, That drama seems to be a remake of "Mom is an Idol", but the gender has changed.

"As for the specific plot of this drama......" Zhou Xiao began to explain to Maeda.

"Overall, it's not much different from this drama in 87, except that the protagonist has changed from a single idol to you, and with his real identity, he is Atsuko Maeda's national idol group ACE."

"So there will be AKB in the film?" Maeda asked.

"That's right." Zhou Xiao nodded.

"What about you, Brother Zhou Xiao? Will it appear? Maeda asked.

"Yes, I'll be a cameo as well." Zhou Xiao nodded.

Hearing him say this, Maeda smiled happily.

"What? I was relieved to hear that I was acting? Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes, with Brother Zhou Xiao's appearance, not to mention anything else, the ratings alone can be guaranteed!" Maeda said reassuringly.

"I'm just a cameo, don't relax, what the whole drama is like and what the reputation is, it still depends on you." Zhou Xiao said.

"Yes! Brother Zhou Xiao! The girl said.

Zhou Xiao continued to explain the plot to the girl: "In the plot, you are set to be 17 years old, and the object of marriage is your teacher, and in addition, the teacher's daughter is also studying in the same school and is your younger sister. Zhou Xiao said.

"Huh? It's complicated......," Maeda said.

"Complex can have enough plot tension, your teacher's husband in addition to this daughter who hates AKB very much, there are two sons, the eldest son of a junior high school student who likes AKB very much, and a younger son who is just four or five years old and very ignorant." Zhou Xiao said.

"Just thinking about it, the plot is already super complicated, and there are too many clues...... Maeda said.

"That's right, the main plot in this drama, in addition to not exposing your identity, the role with the three children is the most critical, especially for the schoolgirl stepdaughter, there will be a quite interesting emotional line between you, for example, you are taking the traditional idol route in AKB, not smart and simple, but in fact, the inside is very mature, and the role of the schoolgirl's stepdaughter, I chose Ai Hashimoto because of her outstanding and somewhat cold appearance, in the series, she and play a very smart, good learner, But in fact, there are some tendons and immature girl images, and the conflict between you will be the biggest focus of the whole show. Zhou Xiao introduced.

"What about the end? I'm sure I'll be able to make her my friend, right? This drama seems to be a family drama on the bright side, but in fact, the dark line is ...... It's kind of like a lily play......" Maeda asked.

The members of AKB are not idiots, they know what the audience, especially AKB Rice, likes, like Ryo Nishikido's "Daddy is an Idol", on the surface, it is the line between Ryo Nishikido and Yuka, but in fact, the whole drama mainly describes the line between Ryo Nishikido and Kawashima Kaihe, and he has been exposed to so many songs like "Forbidden Lovers" in AKB, it is impossible for Maeda not to know that Ryo Rice likes such things.

"Not only that, but at the end of this drama, I even thought about letting her join AKB as well!" Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"Let Hashimoto love?" Maeda asked.

"That's right! If this drama has a good response, I have a name in mind if there is a series, it is "Mom and I Are Idols"! Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

Maeda's face was full of incredulity.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, the rehearsal for the general election will start soon." A staff member walked in and announced.

"Okay, I know, we'll get out right away." Zhou Xiao stood up and said to the staff.

After saying this, he turned his head to Maeda again and said: "Just like you said before, I'm very happy that you can believe in me unconditionally, no matter what the result is, please believe me, anyone in AKB, I will work hard to find a path that suits her and AKB, so no matter whether you win or lose in the end, you must be confident in yourself, you know?" ”

"I know, Brother Zhou Xiao!" Maeda nodded. R1152
