Chapter 650: Maeda
The third day of Seibu Dome has finally arrived.
After getting up, he picked up the mobile phone, just at the first glance, it made Zhou Xiao chuckle in his heart.
The mobile phone clearly reads, "The temperature in Tokyo today is 36°C!" â
At this temperature, it is already very painful to sit still without air conditioning, and now the members have to sing and dance on the stage, and they also have to bend and crawl in the extremely densely populated backstage, with countless machines running and hot, and the narrow and low passage under the stage, which is simply unbearable!
With guilt to wake up the girls, Zhou Xiao personally drove the three of them to the Seibu Dome.
"Is Maeda here?" After Zhou Xiao got out of the car, the first thing he said to the assistant who came to pick him up was to ask Maeda.
This girl didn't know what the symptoms of heat stroke were yesterday, and it is really unclear whether she can come to Zhou Xiao today.
"She replied that she had gotten up, but she hadn't arrived yet." The assistant said.
"Have all the people who fought on their behalf been arranged?" Zhou Xiao retreated to the next best.
"Yes, it's all arranged, if the last generation fights, then it's absolutely fine."
"Okay, I see."
Because Zhou Xiao stubbornly asked the members to postpone the assembly for two hours, the staff naturally took on more tasks that day, and besides, after the three of them got out of the car, they were immediately taken away by the staff to do the accumulated work, which was prepared in the two hours they didn't come.
Zhou Xiao began to worry after walking around the scene for a while, and the state of the members was ...... It's really bad.
The non-TOP members are okay, they can guarantee their bodies when they don't have a lot of work, but the TOP members are generally very tired, and everyone looks like they can't wake up outside the camera, which makes people very worried.
Zhou Xiao had no choice but to roll up his arms and sleeves to join the work, occasionally handing a wet wipe to the members, and running to ask the staff for a fan or something. In fact, with his identity, he doesn't need to do these jobs at all, and it is a big waste for him to do these things, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, just the act of helping to do things has already expressed enough clear efforts and support for the girls and the operation.
"Maeda is here!" At this time, a staff member came over and said beside Zhou Xiao.
There is more than one member with the surname Maeda, but everyone knows who Maeda will be at this time.
"Really? Take me there! Zhou Xiao said excitedly.
Zhou Xiao soon saw the girl.
The dark face is scary, this is the effect of the girl after she has put on makeup, in other words. Like Yuko yesterday, at least he can cover his face with makeup, Maeda can't do it here.
"I'm sorry, I'll try to get you some rest after today." Zhou Xiao looked at the girl's state and thought distressedly.
It's a pity that all the sorry that has never been said in my heart, not even a mouth cannon.
Following the staff's busy running and running, Zhou Xiao found that it was useless, and in the face of the girls' hard work, his efforts may not even be comparable to the sentence "drink more hot water". The hard work of the girls, in the end, is only the girls who resist it themselves.
Rehearsal.
The girls from Group K were discussing their performance with the staff on stage, while the girls from Group A were waiting backstage to appear.
Maeda was the only one sitting in the chair, and around her were squatting with other girls from Group A.
Although no one spoke. But the backstage isn't quiet.
Around the girls, all kinds of machines were buzzing, and the electric fans were turning in vain, sending a wind with almost no cool breath.
Originally, he was just passing by Zhou Xiao. After seeing this scene, he suddenly remembered something, and he stopped and stood a little farther away to observe Maeda.
"Is it here?" He thought.
"Hey...... Takamina...... "The girl who was sitting suddenly trembled and shouted to Takahashi Minami beside her.
"What's wrong?" The squatting girl turned her head. I saw Maeda's little face.
He immediately came over.
"I ...... I ......" Maeda wanted to say something, but suddenly she couldn't say it, and her breathing suddenly became short!
What she wanted to say was that I couldn't breathe.
But now she can't tell.
Almost in a second or two, her breathing suddenly became intense.
"Hah! Call! Ha! Call! The girl gasped frantically, as if there was no longer a trace of oxygen in her body, and she looked very pitiful and even a little scary.
The girls in the A and other groups next to the girl didn't know what to do for a moment, and Maeda's state was terrible.
Seeing that the girl's breathing finally broke out, Zhou Xiao immediately ordered the people around her: "Oxygen!" Paper bags! â
After saying that, he leaned over and supported Maeda with Minami Takahashi.
"Don't worry, I'm here, calm down, adjust your breathing." Zhou Xiao's voice did not fluctuate at all, as if the huge breathing sound of the girl in front of him was completely absent.
In just a few seconds, it seemed like a long, long time, and in the nervous calls of Takahashi and Shinoda, Zhou Xiao's peaceful voice guided Maeda.
The staff finally brought a small oxygen tank and a paper bag to relieve breathing, but by this time Maeda had gradually calmed down under Zhou Xiao's guidance.
"You see it's easy, right? With Brother Zhou Xiao here, there is no need to worry about anything. Come, exhale ~ inhale ~ exhale ~~ inhale ~~" Zhou Xiao's voice seemed to be magical, and even not only Maeda, but even the girls around Maeda who were originally anxious also quieted down.
After Tian finally relieved herself, the girl looked at Zhou Xiao and reluctantly said, "Brother Zhou Xiao...... It's uncomfortable. â
"It's okay, with Brother Zhou Xiao here, don't worry about anything, don't worry." Zhou Xiao helped the girl and said in an extremely gentle voice.
I don't know if that momentum has passed, or if the girl really listened to him, in short, with his help, the girl finally quieted down, but anyone can see that her current state is still ridiculously bad
Letting Gao Qiao help the girl, Zhou Xiao made a stretcher to the staff. However, he quickly changed his mind, leaned over and asked, "Is it okay for me to take you to the ambulance?" If you feel that you have trouble breathing, you must tell me. â
"Good...... Okay......" Maeda said with his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhou Xiao picked up the girl lightly.
If you want to say that the princess hugged something, in her previous life, Zhou Xiao had seen someone hug Maeda...... But that person obviously hasn't practiced how to hold people before, what about Zhou Xiao? From tall to short, young to old, they have all hugged, and they know the key details of the princess hugging such as back, buttocks, and thighs. It was easy to pick up Maeda.
Zhou Xiao took Maeda to the ambulance that had been prepared outside the Seibu egg for a long time, and it was naturally very smooth when there were staff members along the way to lead the way, and after handing Maeda to the doctor, he finally came back from the ambulance, and at this time, the substitute practice that had been interrupted because of Maeda's arrival had started again.
Zhou Xiao's efforts the day before yesterday, coupled with the fall of the center, after these two things happened, the consciousness of the girls of the AKB Group was brought into play. In the past, everyone got together before the concert to joke, talk and chat easily, and there were many fewer cases of playing treasure in front of the making camera, and most of the girls were spontaneously practicing seriously and waiting for the repertoire to appear in the concert later. Especially the A group and the selection team, they are seizing every second to get familiar with the performance without Maeda.
It was soon noon, the girls started to eat at noon, and Zhou Xiao went to see Maeda. The girl has been moved to the best lounge of Seibu Dome, and looking at the girl lying there without talking or opening her eyes, this girl will definitely not eat lunch. Even whether she can get up again today is a question.
Zhou Xiao, who sat on Maeda's side for a while, chatted with the girl for a while and left, saying that it was chatting for a while, but in fact, it was mainly Zhou Xiao who was saying that Maeda not only did not have any reply, but also never opened his eyes.
"You must hate me very much now...... I'm sorry...... Brother Zhou Xiao can't help it...... I'm actually super guilty...... In short, it's okay to rest at ease, put work or something, and I'm here. â
What Zhou Xiao didn't know was that when he left, the girl in the lounge opened her eyes, of course she heard the man's words, and the reason why she didn't open her eyes was not because of her body but for the same reason as Zhou Xiao.
She was actually very guilty.
Maeda herself is very grateful to be able to stand in the center position, especially when she knows the relationship between Zhou Xiao and Yuko and others, she was once very worried that her center position is not guaranteed, Yuko won the championship last year, and was re-elected as the center of the next single "Beginner", although he has not said it, but Maeda is really worried about dying in his heart and even wants to graduate from the idea of the popularity of Zhou Xiao's brother and Yuko Oshima. But after 2010, she found that Zhou Xiao's brother didn't have much idea of replacing her, which made her feel a lot more at ease, and temporarily dismissed the idea of graduating in 2011.
Knowing that Zhou Xiao's brother insisted on using her as the center even though he had a relationship with Yuko, Maeda himself was not very active, very narcissistic, and felt that he was beautiful and boundless, and he was an excellent person who was qualified to stand in front of everyone, so the girl easily fell into the idea of passive inferiority.
"Such a me...... Being able to stand here is inseparable from Brother Zhou Xiao's support, so I should work hard to be worthy of my current position. The girl thought more than once.
But...... She would think like this, but now she has to lie here due to fatigue and physical reasons, which makes her feel that she has no face to see Brother Zhou Xiao again.
Especially what Zhou Xiao said next to her just now, in fact, strictly speaking, he didn't do anything, he just said a few words around the girl, but in the entertainment industry for a few years, Maeda doesn't understand anything, don't look at Zhou Xiao actually didn't do anything, but she knows very well that just whispering a few words by her side like just now is already impossible for others to do.
Whether it's Yasusu Akimoto, or Hiro from E-girls, or H! P's Chunjun, these people will care about the members below, but in the final analysis, they still treat each other as ordinary work partners or even subordinates, and in the whole of Japan, I am afraid that only Brother Zhou Xiao can apologize to himself in a low voice at this time.
"It's obviously because of my body, but it makes Brother Zhou Xiao feel so guilty......" The girl lay on the bed with a lost face. At this moment, she hates her fragile body very much, if she can be as strong as Yuko, like Jurina, how can she lie here and look at the ceiling in a daze at such an important time?
"I really don't want to disappoint Brother Zhou Xiao......" the girl sighed in her heart.
But...... What she doesn't know is that Yuko and Jurina are actually just weak women in essence, and their strength is actually more in their personal roles.
For example, in today's concert, Maeda is definitely not the only one who is on the verge of collapse.
In the afternoon, the audience began to enter. After the final mobilization by the staff, the girls also began the final round of the Seibu Dome.
"Today's situation is very difficult." Takahashi Minami said: "But think about why you can stand here today, how hard we have worked for today, this is already the last, only the last one is left, let's create a legend together!" Takahashi Minami encouraged.
"Yes!" The girls replied loudly as well.
After the circle where everyone is together, there is a circle of teams.
Minami Takahashi brought the girls from Group A together.
"Ah Chan is not here today, everyone has to cheer up and make up for what she is missing. Also, you have to pay attention to your body, we can't let anyone fall anymore......" Takahashi Minami said.
As soon as he said this, the sound of stamping and walking came, and the girls turned their heads to look. A figure who had already changed his clothes walked over!
"It's still here after all." Zhou Xiao looked at Maeda without the slightest smile and thought distressedly.
Maeda's posture when he walked over was very unrestrained, and he looked like a man throwing his arms, not that girls usually do this all the time, Zhou Xiao knew very well. The reason why she is like this now is probably because she no longer has the strength to maintain her image as a girl, and she just stands up. When she came over, it had already consumed too much of her strength, and at this time, how could she have the strength to pay attention to her own image.
Maeda walked wordlessly into the circle of Group A.
Neither Shinoda nor Kojima didn't say much, as a member who is also popular, Shinoda also had a past of sleeping two hours a day and being able to fall asleep at other people's weddings, Kojima simply fainted at the recording site and even played a hanging bottle, the programs they participated in, some of the investment in one episode of the show is millions of dollars, once something goes wrong, she alone is likely to affect everyone, so not only them, especially those funny artists are often more desperate, even if they are overdrawn to complete their work, For them, they don't need any common sense to be famous.
Only Takahashi Minami said with concern: "So that TeamA will be all assembled, ah-chan, if there is a problem, you must say it, do you know?" All of us will have your back behind you. â
Maeda nodded and didn't speak, she really had lost the strength to speak.
"Alright, let's go!" Takahashi Minami finally said.
The concert is about to start, and Maeda, who has changed her clothes with the help of the staff, arrives at the place where she is about to appear.
Yuko Oshima went to make the opening, and when Maeda got to his place, he looked at the monitor for a while and then stood up and reviewed his song in the corner.
Behind her, there are a host of people such as documentary photographers, making photographers, lighting artists, and Zhou Xiao.
At the end of the day, whether it was on the way from home, or resting in the lounge, or now waiting for the appearance, Maeda is not alone, when she was at home, her female agent even lived directly in her rented room last night, and when she was lying down and resting, there were special doctors and nurses to pay attention to her physical condition at any time, and now, although she was standing there alone, she was actually surrounded by more than ten staff members.
But...... Such a figure, I'm afraid that anyone who sees it will only think of the word loneliness.
She is lonely, or rather, people are lonely, at moments like this, she can only rely on herself to resist all the hardships she is experiencing, she can only go on step by step to complete this growth that belongs to her.
Although, this growth not only belongs to her, but also belongs to all the members behind her, all the operations.
The final performance, which was opened by the school bell, has finally begun.
The girl, who looked extremely tired and didn't have any sparkle in her eyes just now, underwent an earth-shattering change the moment the staff lifted the curtain.
On the monitor, the girl smiled, the glory that belongs to idols, and only belongs to the glory and beauty of AKB48 in this era, emanating from Maeda's body like dazzling sunshine and stinging Zhou Xiao's eyes!
"It's amazing......" Zhou Xiaoru groaned. There was a groan.
This is the so-called full power ah sauce ah, the legendary idol power full of storage zĂ i.
"Look at it like this, there shouldn't be any problem with Ah Sauce today!" The staff members were quite happy when they saw Maeda's smile.
Zhou Xiao looked at the cheering audience outside and thought to himself, "I'm afraid you don't know what Maeda did to appear here...... You don't even know how much strength she has accumulated for this smile, and how much strength she has overdrawn......
Even if it's me, even if I cross, I'm afraid I won't be able to do her this journey......" (To be continued......
