Chapter 452: East Asian Whirlwind

Why does he feel that there is no need to look for foreign markets, just in Japan?

Because Zhou Xiao has deeply felt the Japanese market brought by super high ratings, this is a market that is too huge and full of potential, those TV series with an average rating of more than ten or twenty years, none of them can digest this market, and this is also a too mature market, a thing is popular, countless peripherals about this thing are spread all over Japan at a lightning speed, from the traditional "Public Security Fifth Lesson" original soundtrack CD, has begun to be booked, Including all kinds of behind-the-scenes DVDs, to all kinds of hats and clothes printed with film screens or design words, and even derivatives of some lines, all kinds of things are extremely detailed, and the things that make Zhou Xiao feel extremely powerful are two, the same is ...... Steamed bread.

That's right, steamed buns, this thing...... In fact, it is a very common peripheral commodity in many Japanese TV and movie works, what "Hanzawa Naoki" doubles the return of steamed buns, One Piece Great Voyage Steamed Buns, and even the pandas in Ueno Zoo in Japan, there are panda steamed buns around the panda pavilion......

"The Fifth Lesson of Public Security" also has steamed buns, and unlike those with all kinds of steamed buns, the main focus of "Public Security Lesson 5" steamed buns is the outer packaging, because the packaging bag uses the paper tape style that the actor Sewen holds in his hand all the year round.

It's a real paper bag, a kraft paper bag with a few small steamed buns in it......

As for the price...... A bag of three small steamed buns, if an adult wants to eat enough, it is estimated that three to five bags will be needed, so such a bag of steamed buns, it is not expensive for you to pay 300 yen, right?

As for sales? Kindness...... Anyway, four hours before the sale,There is already a long queue at the official merchandise store of the day TV,As for the online sales, they are booked out within 30 minutes,From the start of sales to now, in two weeks,The manufacturer is basically in a state of making and selling as much as you want。

As for increasing the number of tsuò? No, no, no, now this system zuò quantity. There is also the maintenance of the number of reservations and the sales speed, which is operated by the TV station, and if you do more, you may not sell out, and if you do less, you may lose your desire, in modern society, it is impossible to even meet the speed of making a bun of steamed buns, and today's supply exceeds demand, in fact, it is also a business method of operation.

As for the other powerful peripherals that make Zhou Xiaojue. It is the same style as the heroine in the TV series...... Dumplings mobile phone chain.

The traditional Japanese style of fried dumplings is made of plastic zuò and looks juicy and delicious, so you can't tell it's fake at all if you don't use your hands.

But...... That's what makes people want to complain, because Mao wants to hang a strange dumpling on his mobile phone?

What's even more exaggerated, there are even four fried dumplings side by side with mobile phone cases, mobile phone cases! Call Mao for holding a row of fried dumplings! Will you feel good oil!? How strange it is for people who can use this kind of phone case!

But...... It's just these two kinds of peripherals, and their sales are not inferior to the sales of other regular peripherals, not that the number of sales is large. But in terms of overall sales, they are no less than those expensive regular peripherals such as CDs/DVDs!

This has also become a big reason why Zhou Xiao feels that the Japanese market is huge, and "SPEC2" in his previous life had a rating of 10%. made a lot of money by selling peripherals, and there were many sequels and movie versions, and in this life's "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security", 30% of the ratings and 10% are not at the same level at all. Similarly, the sales of various peripherals are not at the same level at all, and now the peripheral sales of "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security". I'm afraid that only Sailor Moon or EVA, which can sell peripheral goods for decades in the future, and AKB, which has a huge peripheral explosive power in the most popular years, can be compared.

Even if it is now 30%, the peripheral sales are in a state of crazy sales, and the experienced staff on Zhou Xiao's side are still saying that they can dig deep into the potential of the periphery, their reason is very simple, the current sales of TV series peripherals are achieved under the condition that Zhou Xiao and the main creators of the TV series are basically not involved, in the eyes of the staff, as long as Zhou Xiao or any other leading actor appears on TV intentionally or unintentionally with the peripherals, the peripheral sales are likely to usher in a huge jump again.

Although there is this idea in terms of operation, Zhou Xiao himself is not ready to do it according to their ideas, but although Zhou Xiao does not do it, it will not prevent the operation and the leading actor and others from doing this, and the operation with Zhou Xiao's permission was found by Toda and others to start studying how to add another fire to the sales of the periphery, and finally, it was the male and female protagonists plus Yuriko Yoshitaka who was also very brilliant as a supporting role and the three of them went on Zhou Xiao's "Flash Mob Journey" and played a star flash mob, which can be regarded as completing the publicity work for the periphery.

The huge market potential has made AZX and Nippon TV, which produced this drama, earn billions of yen, and the person in charge of the TV station will wake up with a smile in his dreams, just ask, Japan has such a huge market, why do you have to spend energy to develop overseas markets? From AZX to Japanese TV,Most of the thoughts are,If they want to buy the copyright, they can buy it,We fixed the price and sold it.,As for actively participating in localization,Go to local publicity,Even participate in local planning.,We don't have that time or experience.。

In good conscience, if Zhou Xiao had no ambitions for the future and didn't know what the mainland would develop into in the next few years, he would definitely do it.

Fortunately, he is not, and one of his strengths over most people in Japan is that he was able to see the direction of the entire East Asian region a few years earlier. Japan, an established power, is bound to continue to lose, even with the support of the United States.

Treasure Island and the former East Asian film kingdom that has returned will be affected by the resistance of ordinary people, and face all kinds of twists and turns before being completely assimilated by the mainland.

There is only the country between Japan and China, this country is scolded by many people as despicable, whether it is Japan or China, there are many people who are ashamed to be neighbors with it, but it is undeniable that the people of this country, at least the leaders of this country, were the first to see the rise of China, and in the process of their complete fall to China, their products, and even their culture, naturally began to enter China, and even integrate into China.

Zhou Xiao knows that this is the general trend, a huge country and market like China is itself a gravitational existence. He will absorb and assimilate the surrounding qiē, wanting to stop this tendency, unless it completely destroys or divides China.

And this is impossible.

Chinese, but even sweet tofu brains, salty zongzi and other heretics can be tolerated......

Therefore, Zhou Xiao is very interested in selling "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security" to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia...... Most of the countries and regions in East Asia. In the end, they all bought this drama series with a super high budget, ratings and popularity, even the mainland...... Limited to the gradually tightening policy, this drama was finally not broadcast on national TV stations, seeing this situation, Zhou Xiao simply did not want to make money from the mainland, he simply sold the broadcast rights of the whole drama to two video websites in the mainland, the price was ...... 1 RMB.

Yes, that's right, although sold. But it was only sold for one dollar, but Zhou Xiao is not a fool, what I sold you is just the right to broadcast on your website. Any other rights to use and derivative zuò and merchandise are still in my hands, and I sold them to you so cheaply, so you have to work hard in terms of illegal broadcasting and piracy, right?

Foreign websites and media outlets will always feel that China is lagging behind in dealing with piracy. In fact, they don't know much about China, and China's piracy is actually in a state where the government does not hold the people accountable, but it is subtle. The official attitude is this, but the people's self-monitoring of piracy is quite effective, for example, like now, Zhou Xiaotong guò officially sells TV series to what website, then other websites can no longer directly put TV series on their own websites without caring as before, otherwise, Zhou Xiao and the Japanese side may not work, but once these two websites with formal copyright send them formal requirements, then unless they tear their faces, otherwise the pirated websites will basically delete their own things.

Not only sold the broadcast copyright, Zhou Xiao even intervened in the sinicization of TV dramas in Greater China, in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, he cooperated with TV stations, not only provided Chinese texts, but also provided a lot of background information to them, which is undoubtedly very professional, many words in TV dramas, especially some related to myths of various countries, super energy systems and other "professional" translations and even refinement to the tone used, Zhou Xiao provided the other party with very detailed information.

As for the domestic side,Although the video website has its own translation team,Zhou Xiao doesn't believe in the website's own so-called "professional" translators,He directly contacted the translation team in the mainland,Ask the mainland translation team to help make the subtitles of the whole drama,Zhou Xiao is so "open-minded,Generous"Attitude has won unanimous praise from the people,Of course,While cooperating, he didn't forget to say to the subtitle team and the partners on the mainland:"Don't think I'm a Chinese who grew up abroad.,I don't know anything about China, I don't know the current situation in China worse than you, our cooperation, you can say it in private, you can brag to your friends, but you must not say that in any media or interviews, even if you say it, I will never admit it, this matter, will always stop at the category of 'urban legends', if you still want my dramas in the future, and you still want to cooperate with me, just do it honestly, you don't want me to be attacked by the Japanese side is conniving at piracy, right? ”

In this respect, Zhou Xiao has both the careful rigidity of Japanese culture, and at the same time does not stick to these, he can be called a model of improvisation in this matter, which can be said to be the most standard model of Chinese and Japanese cultural integration......

In addition, Zhou Xiao even accepted the attendance of several propaganda and variety shows in Taiwan, the mainland is not suitable to promote his own TV series now, and the mainstream media in the mainland only cares about two things now, one is the earthquake, and the other is the Olympics, so Zhou Xiao has no choice but to go to Taiwan.

Of course, there is still a period of time to do in Taiwan's itinerary and it is only a small matter, and what Zhou Xiao really cares about is AKB's work with his own film and TV series.

Early in the morning, Zhou Xiao arrived at the AKB Theater, and after a few hours in his office, he walked out of it.

"Brother Zhou Xiao!" As soon as I went out, two girls pounced, it was Mayou and Airi, tonight is the performance of Group B, and these two girls will appear as usual.

"You two, have you rehearsed well?" Zhou Xiao asked with a smile.

"Absolutely! Brother Zhou Xiao, you don't care about our Group B! The two girls sneered.

"How is it possible, just the two of you are here, it is impossible for me not to care about Group B!" Zhou Xiaodao.

"But...... You don't come to Group B as many times as Group A and Group K! ”

"Good! Then I will definitely come to see more group B performances in the future! Okay, don't talk about that, have you eaten lunch? Let's go eat! Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"Good! No one has eaten it! ”

"Really? Let's eat it together! Zhou Xiaodao.

After having lunch with the girls in Group B, Zhou Xiao returned to the office again. This time, he began to call the girls into the room one by one to ask about the latest situation, but Mayou and Airi didn't call him, these two girls were too familiar with him, and the two sides had ample opportunities to contact, so there was no need to say anything to them now.

The work of calling the girls in to chat is actually quite boring, and in the face of Zhou Xiao, most of these girls are very nervous, even if he tried to ease the relationship with the girls before, but Zhou Xiao didn't care too much. Most of the girls only took three to five minutes to complete their part and get out of the office after entering his office, and there were not many girls who really took a long time.

Among them, Furukawa Ai Li and Qin Zuo and Zi entered Zhou Xiao's office for more than ten minutes, Zhou Xiao first analyzed their status in the team, and also made some explanations on their respective personal roles, and then, he said: "You two, there may be a team transfer recently, please be mentally prepared." ”

"Really?" The two girls will be sad, of course, but at the same time there will be some excitement. Group B is the obvious leader in the team, with a little higher average popularity than the graduate students, and a long way from the AK group, if you can go to the other two groups. Maybe their future will be a little better.

But of course, this kind of thing will not be said, and externally, they will still look reluctant to Group B and reluctant to everyone. This is also understandable. People always think more about themselves.

They didn't know that they were going to SKE instead of AK, which was almost equivalent to starting their own careers anew.

Of course. Compensation still has to be done, Zhou Xiao said: "AKB's current TV program, God TV is just a variety show of a pay TV station, and AKBINGO is nothing, and you don't have many opportunities to appear, so if you go along with it, I hope to open a new title program in the second half of the year or the first half of next year, and when the time comes, the planning of the program at the beginning will mainly revolve around the two of you!" ”

"Really...... It's true!? "The two girls are completely happy now, and the variety show that revolves around them is still carried out on the title group of the five private stations, such an opportunity is simply great! As long as you can seize such an opportunity, not to mention the popularity, at least you will be known by those floating rice who don't come to the theater much and don't participate in handshake parties!

"Don't worry, I have written the two of you into AKB's next plan, and even if I forget, the staff will definitely remind me, so you can rest assured that you will continue to do the work entrusted to you, and I have absolute expectations for you." Zhou Xiao finally said a word, and after the two girls were completely relieved, he sent them out.

These two girls were almost the last of the girls in Group B to enter Zhou Xiao's office, and after them, there was only one person who had not entered Zhou Xiao's office.

This person's name is Ayaka Kikuchi.

Today, Zhou Xiao called so many people back and forth, chatting and talking one by one, in fact, it was not the purpose, his real purpose was this girl named Kikuchi Caixiang.

Group B in Zhou Xiao's history, from the announcement of the third phase of the student to the real formation of the lineup with Yuki Kashiwagi and Mayu Watanabe as the core, has actually gone through a lot of twists and turns.

At the beginning, Kazumi Urano, who moved to the past, Shiho Watanabe and Natsumi Hirashima had an absolute advantage in popularity.

And when choosing the center, the operation was also a little uncertain, is it Mayu Watanabe? Or Aika Tada? Or is it Kikuchi Ayako?

At the end of 2006, Mayu Watanabe and Yuki Kashiwagi, the former was in monkey form, and the latter had not yet gotten rid of his local flavor and baby fat, so they didn't seem to be suitable candidates for the center, and what about Tada and Kikuchi? The same two girls are from the Tokyo circle, the former is a standard cute girl, 12-year-old she is better at dressing up than the dead house girl Mayu Watanabe, and she is obviously more outstanding, and the same is true of Kikuchi, who looked a lot more beautiful than Kashiwagi at that time.

But...... In the end, it turned out that neither of these men was the right person for the center.

Compared with Mayu Watanabe, Aika Tada's weakness is in her personality, Watanabe is quiet but a little indisputable, but it's not that she doesn't work hard, but her character is actually a bit similar to Maeda, and what about Tada? When she was 12 years old, she was still a completely willful little girl, and the operation quickly saw through her character who was easy to play petty, and such a character was undoubtedly not suitable for the center position, because it would only bring her arrogance.

As for Kikuchi, this is a stubborn, easy-to-drill girl, and most importantly, Zhou Xiao estimates that the operation is likely to see through a certain part of the truth about her, that is, compared to Kashiwagi, she is not so ...... "clean". (To be continued......)

PS: I don't want to break the change...... But I'm so tired...... Insist on ......
