Chapter 448: Ordinary (?) ) ratings

"Although I'm a little embarrassed to say this, I think that among these people here, when it comes to acting, I can still be the predecessor of all of you." When Zhou Xiao left, Yuko Oshima gathered the girls together and said very strictly.

"Yuko, what do you mean by that?" As soon as Yuko Oshima's words came out, Yugari Sato quit, she knew that Yuko Oshima used to be a child star, but in AKB, everyone has always only talked about the qualifications in AKB, otherwise, for example, Yona Kojima has long been mixed in the entertainment industry in the first phase of life, so if you calculate it, the qualifications between each other are too complicated.

And if you follow AKB's qualifications, although the enrollment time of the first and second students is actually about the same, and the members of the two phases treat each other as the same period every day, but if you really want to talk about it, the first student is the senior, and Yuko Oshima's words naturally attracted the dissatisfaction of the first student.

"I'm not trying to use seniority to suppress people, listen to me first and then talk about this!" Yuko Oshima said with a wave of her hand. I have to admit that compared with Yuko Oshima, Sato Yugari's aura is ridiculously weak, and after this sentence, she immediately stopped talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I still have some qualifications and experience among you, and you must be grateful for what Brother Zhou Xiao has done to us today!" Yuko Oshima said directly.

"Thanksgiving?" A girl asked.

"That's right, Brother Zhou Xiao, he ......" Yuko Oshima then added fuel to what she had just thought of, what is Brother Zhou Xiao's identity, what Brother Zhou Xiao has been preparing for today's lecture, and how much energy has been spent......

Some of these words were more or less spoken, and they did bring a lot of touch to the girls, and after Yuko Oshima explained, they understood how much effort Brother Zhou Xiao had put into them.

Everyone is familiar with Zhou Xiao. After getting acquainted, many girls gradually began not to regard Zhou Xiao as a big star, and now under Youzi's explanation, everyone finally understands Zhou Xiao's intentions for them.

"Brother Zhou Xiao is so kind to us...... a girl said.

"Yes, there are a few people in Japan who can be taught by him alone." Another girl said.

"The most touching thing is that Brother Zhou Xiao is so powerful, but he is so gentle to us......"

"Ahh Say no more! I really want to marry him!! A girl shouted exaggeratedly with her head in her hands.

The most surprising thing was that the other girls around her didn't seem surprised by such an exaggerated behavior, but instead they all said "yes." I think so too", as if marrying Zhou Xiao is really a very tempting proposal.

"By the way, Yuko, I remember that day, you and Brother Zhou Xiao were not ...... What happened? Brother Zhou Xiao, is he powerful? Ai Shinozaki asked Oshima very badly.

"If I really did something with Brother Zhou Xiao, wouldn't I actually be your boss lady now!? If that were the case, I'd have asked you everywhere to buy me something! It's you, with such big boobs and so young, men must be eager to flock to you. Yuko Oshima said very strongly. Ai Shinozaki is 16 years old this year. The talented JCUP has already seen the first hints, and most of the AKB girls are normal and slightly smaller models. Milk types are very few, for the team. It's nice to have such a girl, just enough to enrich the composition of the whole team, but for some girls in the team, Ai Shinozaki's storage zài is definitely not a good thing, such as Reina Ono. is also walking the sister department.,The chest is gradually swelling up.,The strongest sister of AKB in the previous life was a little suppressed by Ai Shinozaki on a certain amount of dù.。

"But, Brother Zhou Xiao, he doesn't like big breasts, right? He should still like Yuko and Ah Sauce. Ai Shinozaki said as she straightened her chest. His reason is actually quite simple. Since the establishment of AKB, it is these two people who have been put in the front row, and she Ai Shinozaki has given far less attention to the team in terms of popularity and operation than Yu-chan.

"Don't listen to men's nonsense, how can a man not like big breasts! Trust me, for men, bigger breasts are always better! Yuko Oshima patted herself on the chest, which was actually quite stocky, and said.

Originally, it was very strict and serious, and the worship and praise of Zhou Xiao's brother was accidentally turned into a symposium for girls without discipline, no, it was not a touting conference at the beginning, at first it was Yuko Oshima who was saying how much Zhou Xiao had prepared for this group of girls and how much he had paid.

I can only say that when the girls get together, they can really say anything......

The broadcast of "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security" began like this, and two days after the broadcast, the ratings for the first episode of the show came out.

30.7%, put it on someone else can scare off the jaw and can sensational the ratings of the whole of Japan, but on Zhou Xiao, the vast majority of people's reaction is just an "oh".

There is no other reason, Zhou Xiao's super investment in the new year, what he carries is the aura of the Oscars that has not yet dissipated at the beginning of the year, the attraction of all ages from housewives to high school students, and of course, the very curious story content and rich cast, all kinds of reasons put together, it is strange that the ratings do not explode.

The outside world thinks so, but for Zhou Xiao himself, he is quite surprised by this achievement, he knows very well what the Japanese entertainment industry would be like in the past few years without himself.

Since 2000, the ratings of Japanese TV dramas have been in decline, and the 30% ratings that used to appear at every turn have gradually become miraculous figures, and the ratings of a TV series are usually about 15% is enough to hold a celebration, which is still before 2010, and after 2010, the entire TV circle has even declined to the point that the ratings are already reasonable as long as they pass 10%.

This was hard to imagine before.

The ratings have declined, and the appeal of various actors has also declined a lot, Abe Kuan, Fukuyama Masaharu, Sakai Masato and others are actually still maintained at a very high level, but no matter how high the favorability, their ratings are just ordinary, such as Abe Kuan starred in 2009, and the whole drama can be said to be supported by him alone, "White Spring", its ratings are only 12.6%, and for example, "Detective Galileo", which was finally pushed to the screen at the end of last year. Masaharu Fukuyama plus Shibasaki Yuki's super starring, plus every episode will have a series of famous actors from Ryoko Hirosue to Toshiaki Karasawa , and Masaharu Fukuyama also appeared on the TV screen again after four years, with so much aura, the ratings of the whole show are only 21%, this number is ...... If the same lineup had been placed ten years ago, it would have been absolutely screwed up.

As for the great god Kimura Takuya, the overall ratings fell from 25% to 23%, then to 21%, and finally to less than 20%, is Kimura not good? Kimura's appeal is actually still there. It's just that the overall ratings are not good, otherwise, why are Kimura and Masaharu Fukuyama still the most appealing artists in Japan and not others?

As for one or two TV series with high ratings, that is a special case, and I will talk about it then.

What really surprised Zhou Xiao was that he found that he was also part of this so-called special case.

When Kimura and Fukuyama both began to work hard for 20% ratings, the TV series he directed passed the 30% ratings lightly? Moreover, the original qualifications of this drama are not so powerful. Originally, the ratings of this show were actually just over 10%, and the 20% increase was a bit unusual.

Zhou Xiao's "SPEC2" in his previous life has a very high evaluation among young people. In the follow-up, various special episodes and movie versions were also made, and the peripheral goods of the whole show, and the DVD sales performance was also very good, but the ratings were one of them. The figure of 30% is still a little surprising and even a little uneasy for him, this drama ...... It shouldn't have been so highly qualified.

"Why is it so high...... Zhou Xiao took the ratings report and asked about something.

"Boss. Don't you know how appealing you are right now? To exaggerate, even if you put 40 minutes of blank content on TV, the ratings will probably not be lower than 10%, not to mention that you have put so much thought into this drama and invested so much......," said the company's staff.

Zhou Xiao thought about it for a while, the other party's statement is actually true, compared with "SPEC2" a few years later in Zhou Xiao's history, today's "Public Security Fifth Lesson" obviously has more advantages and blessings, first of all, the level of director Ti Yukiko is of course also very high, but in terms of appeal, it is still worse than the current Zhou Xiao, and again, now 2008 is not 2010, don't look at only two years, in these two years, the overall ratings of the Japanese TV circle have also dropped very much,

In addition, the quality of the show itself is much higher than that of "SPEC2", and the super high investment makes the whole drama full of grand sound and light effects, and it looks like a Hollywood super blockbuster, and in terms of plot, including Zhou Xiao, Ti Yukihiko, Hideaki Anno and other big-name directors, screenwriters, producers and even cartoonists also add the most Cheng dù to enrich the plot of the whole show, with so much help, it is understandable that this drama can get more than 30% of the ratings in the first episode.

Although the ratings in the early 30s are very high, Zhou Xiao has not relaxed in the slightest, he knows very well that the test has only begun now.

Sure enough, along with the ratings, all kinds of discussions have also entered the attention of Zhou Xiao and the world.

In this world, the vast majority of people will always oppose changes at the first time, people physiologically hate any changes, hate anything they don't understand, so the first thing Zhou Xiao's drama gets is bound to be a lot of doubts, what is degraded after becoming famous, what new TV series is a lame, garbage piled up with special effects, what former Zhou Xiao has disappeared, and now Zhou Xiao is just a commercial film director full of utilitarianism and the like.

In fact...... What do these people know? Why can't Japanese movies and TV dramas go out? The biggest reason is that these things in Japan are too niche and too literary and artistic, and Zhou Xiao agreed with this and even appreciated this in the past, but that was caused by the environment and status he was in at the time, once he came to this stage and became an international director, his desire would naturally want to reach a higher level, in that case, going out is a very inevitable step, and it does not have to be on the world stage immediately, but at least ...... It should be no problem to step onto the stage of East Asia and compare with the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and South Korea, right?

This reminded Zhou Xiao of Zhang Yimou and others, Zhang Yimou's "Hero", in Zhou Xiao's opinion, is a work that is not much different from the purpose of his "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security", what they want. They no longer just want a small cost and low investment, and at the same time only get the appreciation of a small number of audiences and a small number of film festival judges, they want a bigger market, and not only their own bigger market, but they also want to be able to introduce the entire Japanese or Chinese film and television industry to a larger and wider world.

This is the real purpose of their production of these high-cost but lacking so-called connotative works.

"The Fifth Lesson of Public Security" is not the kind of Japanese TV series with very distinctive characteristics, because although that kind of Japanese TV series can be loved by the Japanese and Japanese food like him in his previous life, it is impossible to win more attention.

As I said before, the Japanese entertainment industry is a very distinct "small entertainment industry". This kind of small entertainment industry is more inclined to be self-sufficient, and the aggressive expansion of the outside world is not enough, while China, the United States, and Europe are all big entertainment circles, and the culture of such an entertainment industry can be recognized by the whole world.

Zhou Xiao's current reputation and works have reached the apex of a small entertainment circle, and from now on, even if he does nothing. His status will always be on par with legendary directors like Takeshi Kitano and Akira Kurosawa, and even artists led by Takeshi Kitano, saury and others. There is still a certain gap from Zhou Xiaodu.

At this time, he can either be a keeper with peace of mind and slowly develop AKB, or work hard to go out. Create a bigger cause.

Zhou Xiao chose the latter, but at the same time, he didn't think that he really had the ability to defy the sky. That's why he just filmed "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security", this drama does have something that is more acceptable to audiences outside Japan, but this drama is just a Japanese drama for the Japanese, and its core is not separated from the essence of the Japanese drama, Zhou Xiao has not many goals, in the next many years, he does not expect to unify the world, he only hopes that he can at least have a certain influence in East Asia, at least until 2014 15 years, don't let all the foreigners on the mainland TV screen be Korean.

Neither Zhou Xiao nor the AZX staff who knew his thoughts could say anything about it, so in the face of the attack of the Japanese who didn't know the inside story, the only thing they did was to be silent.

Silence sounds negative, but in other words, it is to make a fortune in silence.

It's really a big deal, what does a 30% rating mean? Even if it was Takuya Kimura back then, there were not many cases where he could get 30% ratings, not to mention now, in the current Japanese entertainment industry, Zhou Xiao is the only director with 30% ratings, in today's TV ratings all over Japan are declining, only his ratings are growing against the trend, as long as there is this number, what others say is nonsense, because this number is the best proof that a person is strong, Zhou Xiao does not need to rely on mouth cannons to prove other things.

And after seeing the ratings in the early 30s, Zhou Xiao instructed: "In this case, let's release the news that we have prepared a long time ago." ”

"Is it necessary to put it so early?" Uncle Inoue asked.

"The second episode usually has some diving in ratings, and if we can stop some of this decline, it will also have a certain increase in the average ratings of the whole show." Zhou Xiao said.

"Okay, I got it." Uncle Inoue agreed.

So the next day's newspaper published more details of Zhou Xiao's "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security".

In the original things announced by this drama, ordinary people only know that this drama has a luxurious consultant lineup and a high investment, and most viewers think that this drama is just a work of Zhou Xiao, but the new news negates this idea.

According to internal sources, in addition to this "Public Security Fifth Lesson", the next Japanese drama invested by AZX is already in the pipeline, which will be released in 2009, after these two dramas, AZX may even make the entire series into a feature-length TV series, which will be broadcast 24 episodes a year or so, that is, about two quarters, and then auxiliary movies, novels, comics and even games, and manage the whole work into an all-entertainment classic similar to Marvel!

Not only that, but there is news that the new drama that will take over "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security" next year is likely to be starring Takuya Kimura! ”

Wow! The Japanese audience who saw such news was all frightened, not to mention what kind of influence such a series would have in Japan, since Kimura appeared in the second part, there is no doubt that Janis also supports Zhou Xiao's side, and when the time comes, ...... The whole work brings together artists from all over Japan, what kind of gorgeous scene will it be?

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Of course, everyone will be worried, worried about whether Zhou Xiao can bring these people together, the entertainment industry has always had the habit of seeing the king without seeing the king, for example, SMAP and Genesys rarely cooperate, and Takuya Kimura and Masaharu Fukuyama are almost impossible to cooperate, why? It's too simple, if they really cooperate, who will the crew listen to?

There is only one way to break this rule that the king does not see the king, and that is to make the two kings no longer kings, and let a stronger person above the two "kings" save zài, so that the king will not have zài! And Zhou Xiao is such a person! (To be continued......)

PS: The other day there was an interview with Grandma Denis, and after reading it, I felt ...... The aunt pie and the Iijima pie are indeed stored zài, but in front of grandma, it is absolutely impossible for Iijima to say that this thing is stored zài, this grandma ...... It's just using his age to mess around......
