Chapter 378: K2 performance is different from the previous life
In fact, AKB has many other activities besides Zhou Xiao's participation.
For example, Minami Takahashi participated in TeamK's performance in private clothes, and the first handshake party after the release of the skirt fluttering.
The AKB handshake around 2010 was something that made people scared to watch, the huge stadium was densely packed with tens of thousands of people, and the entire stadium including the stands was full of people, and this situation was not once or twice in a while, but almost every weekend for several years!
A few years later, the handshake will be like this, but the current handshake will still be rudimentary, let alone pushing people every 10 seconds, and the current operator is eager for someone to fill the slightly deserted handshake venue.
So, the scene that made the future generations of rice envious continued to be staged, and the rice people held the hands of the members and chatted slowly for more than ten minutes, and the members did not have any impatience, gently holding the hands of the fans, chatting about various topics like friends......
In addition to handshakes, the members also held various activities such as running to the café outside the theater to work as clerks.
Then, on July 8, 06, the first original performance of Group K, K2 "Youth Girls" performance, began.
At the beginning of the K2 performance, Group K had appeared in more than 60 K1 performances, and these acting experiences were not only valuable experience for the members of Team K, but also gave Zhou Xiao and Yasushi Akimoto the opportunity to observe them and create a good new performance for them.
Just like the A2 performance, the K2 performance also showed the characteristics of the members very well, to say that Zhou Xiao and the operation hesitated not for nothing, K2 performed only four songs of the UNIT, of which the first two songs are a total of six people, the last two songs are eight people in one song and the other is nine people, this configuration will very highlight the thousand two songs, especially the lineup of the second song "Forbidden Lovers". Originally, the forbidden lovers of this second song were also used by Yuko Oshima and Tomomi Kawanishi, who were also very important to the lineup of members, but now in Zhou Xiao's TeamK, it is obvious that there are two people who are more suitable for this song.
Aya Takamoto and Mawei Nakajima have been good friends, and after a long time, the two have become an iconic duo in AKB, such an obvious pas de deux as taboo lovers, even if these two girls don't have any taboo feelings, they are still the most suitable for them to play.
And. In the early days of Group K, no matter what kind of talent Yuko Oshima and others had, the first-term students with first-mover advantages still had to lead the second-term students in popularity.
However, if these two people are really put in this unit, not to mention Kasai, how can Yuko Oshima's status be highlighted? Even in the first song, the lineup of four people can't highlight her. Not to mention the lineup of the latter two songs.
This is clearly unacceptable for a team's ACE.
Moreover, since it is a K2 performance, you can't just arrange a solo song, so the person Yuko Oshima wants to match is even more of a problem. The Lori song in the back and the handsome song in front have taken up a lot of places, and who is suitable to stand behind Yuko Oshima for the rest of Group K?
"If it's a unit, it's better to have two or four people behind Yuko Oshima. Now there are fourteen people who have a performance repertoire in addition to this song, and there are just three people left, so it is best to have two people behind Yuko. Words of three people...... The words of the three people...... "Zhou Xiao's hands slid over K's list one by one.
Tomomi Kawanishi and sisters Kawanishi? The age difference between the two sisters is too great, so it's not good to wash their feet together, right?
Ono and Masuda? "Zoo in the Rain" has a very suitable position for them, and there is no need to wash their feet.
Ayaka Umeda and Natsumi Matsubara? If these two stand with Yuko Oshima, they can only write dance music, but the dance music conflicts with the first-hand "bulerose......
That...... Akimoto and Miyazawa Sae? The Audio-Technica is all in one unit and very unbalanced.
Kindness......? Zhou Xiao's hand stopped.
"Akimoto and Miyazawa Sae? Wait, if it's these two, plus Chinese and Western food, wouldn't it be the team Chocolove in the regiment after that? Zhou Xiao suddenly thought.
"Chocolove's squad, because of the sato, must not be able to do it anymore, in that case, the song of this squad...... Can you take it out and put it here? ”
"It's just...... If you use this song, who is the better candidate to stand behind Yuko? Zhou Xiao continued to worry.
In the end, the K2 performance, which was slightly modified by Zhou Xiao, was finally decided.
Because of Yuko Oshima's ace identity, Zhou Xiao directly put the original Chocolove song in the first song, this song is "Tomorrow は Tomorrow の君が生まれる", and the singers are Yuko Oshima and Nozomi Kawasaki and Nakanishi Rin.
After the end of this song, it is "Bluerose" by Akimoto Saika, Megumi Ohori, Yuka Masuda, and Sae Miyazawa, then "Forbidden Lovers" by Aya Takamoto and Mami Nakajima, and finally "Zoo in the Rain" by Kaoru Hayano, Kana Kobayashi, Reina Ono, Ayaka Umeda, Natsumi Matsubara, Yoshiyo Noro, and Rion Kasaishi.
After this arrangement, the number of actors in the entire performance is more balanced, and it also highlights the characteristics of Yuko Oshima and the members behind her, and it does not make the members exhausted because of repeated performances, which should be regarded as the best result.
Finally, Zhou Xiao's intentions were not in vain, and the performance of "Youth Girls" received quite a good response after the first day, and the satisfaction rate of this performance reached more than 90% on the questionnaire filled out by fans, especially the unit of Yuko Oshima, which was supposed to belong to the unit of the work released by the team, has always had a divine comedy evaluation in the rice group.
With such a good tune and two members who moved from Group A, with so much assistance and help, the almost people may not become obvious due to pressure or nervousness, but if this person is Yuko Oshima, the situation will change, and this girl with the strongest atmosphere in the whole AKB right now is enough to hold the two 1st students behind her and this excellent song.
Zhou Xiao's small change also made Yuko Oshima very grateful, this man did not make the promise he made when he recruited himself, and the center of the first song was also very good. Coupled with the well-deserved zero position in other songs, it seems that Zhou Xiao really values her.
As for her opponents? Obviously it's Atsuko Maeda, right? Although now, my real popularity may not even be as good as Mai Oshima.
Zhou Xiao didn't expect so many twists and turns, and after dealing with the AKB matter, he could finally join the group non-stop and start filming the "Marriage Proposal" that he was looking forward to.
Among Zhou Xiao's works this year, "The Way to Steal the Key" closed at the box office of 6.7 billion yen, and also won some small awards at home and abroad that Zhou Xiao was too lazy to attend.
The box office of 6.7 billion yen is not a big number for Zhou Xiao, but if you add the subsequent DVDs and box offices outside of Japan, AZX's income is also quite good.
And then soon. There was news that Zhou Xiao was going to direct Yuejiu again.
It can be said that from 2005 to 2010, it was the darkest five years in the Japanese TV entertainment industry, in these five years, both TV ratings and music CD sales were far inferior to before, and after these five years, the Japanese entertainment industry, which seems to have begun to find or get used to, has recovered a little, and can make some achievements on TV, and music sales have also increased, which can be regarded as at least stopping the decline in face.
But in such an environment. But it is also the time when the new generation of Chinese Internet lunch begins to understand the Japanese entertainment industry. In the previous generation, Rihan watched "Blood Suspicion" and "Manhunt", and in the previous generation, Rihan watched "Tokyo Love Story" and "101 Proposals", and in this generation, it is the turn of "Symphonic Lover's Dream" and "Marriage Proposal".
It's not hard to see. The Japanese are declining in terms of TV dramas, and the same is true in terms of ratings, but no one can deny that TV dramas are still one of the most important parts of the Japanese entertainment industry.
The drama "Marriage Proposal" is the TV series that Zhou Xiao cares about the most. No matter how many ratings and evaluations he can make before and after this show, this will not change at all.
For this drama, Zhou Xiao can be said to have been preparing for a long, long time. And for this drama, Zhou Xiao also rejected a lot of other scripts, for example, AZX has a female employee named Cherry or something, so he recommended him a drama called "Junwang's Forever" starring a screenwriter named Duhe, starring Maki Horikita and Tomohisa Yamashita.
The content of this drama is actually very good, but unfortunately AZX has already booked the filming time, and this drama that was not originally in Zhou Xiao's history had to be abandoned.
Because it is the ninth day of the moon in Fujitai, the main filming location of the film is still Fujitai's Wangan Studio, but relatively speaking, the investment in the set of this drama is larger, because there will be a lot of exterior scenes, and the scenery in the studio will change frequently.
Common Japanese TV dramas usually always have a relatively fixed set, and many plots in each episode of the TV series usually unfold in such a set, such as Zhou Xiao's TV series, the classroom of primary school students in "The Queen's Classroom", and then in "The Man Who Can't Get Married", Abe Kuan and his neighbor's apartment, and then for example, the apartment of Ueno Shuri and Tamaki Hiroshi in the symphonic lover's dream, these indoor scenes are fixed with a camera during filming, and a set of things can be used many times. It can well avoid the waste of funds.
But "Marriage Proposal" is not good, this drama is mainly about the fact that Tomohisa Yamashita, who likes Masami Nagasawa, has not been able to confess, until Nagasawa got married, he regretted it sadly, and returned to the past with the help of goblins, a story that changed history little by little, such a time-traveling TV series, in addition to the church scenery that will inevitably appear in every episode, the rest of the time runs through the many years of the actor's life, from the baseball game in high school, to high school, college, The various exterior scenes and changeable indoor scenes of the social company make it necessary to build a lot of indoor scenes, studios and rent outdoor venues for the whole play.
The preparation and connection of these things ran through the entire preparation process of "Marriage Proposal", and during this time, Zhou Xiao even went to NHK to discuss a job with the other party.
NHK has a lofty status as the only state-run television station in Japan, and with their status, they will not consider whether they have opponents at all, and the five major private stations are not in the same system as them at all.
Therefore, it doesn't matter which TV station an artist comes from. They have the right to invite each other, and the other party is likely to happily accept the invitation.
The invitation to Zhou Xiao originated from the mention of Denis, which originally had a more suitable candidate for NHK, but the right candidate may not be a good candidate, the reason for this is that sometimes the right person may not be more popular, and now, TV ratings throughout Japan are falling, morning dramas. Dahe dramas, various variety shows, people seem to have lost interest in watching TV overnight, and many TV stations have to adjust the ratings evaluation of TV programs, otherwise many programs will be hit into a situation of insufficient ratings, or even may be cut off.
For example, this year, NHK's red and white originally planned to let Yukie Nakama match SMAP's Masahiro Nakai, but this combination does not have any novelty and topicality, although both of them are super first-class stars. But for the Japanese, these two faces are not the kind of stars who make people want to see them, and even produce stars who want to see them this time, and they don't know when they will see them next time. In short, the Japanese are too familiar with such two faces and there are no surprises.
The Japanese are not surprised by the hosting of these two people, so what if it is replaced by Zhou Xiao?
If it is replaced by Zhou Xiao, it will be amazing.
Some Japanese artists are running in the direction of the host at first glance. For example, Masahiro Nakai, such as Jun Tamura, in fact. The vast majority of artists usually become hosts in the end, from big3 to the new generation.
But this statement is not particularly accurate for Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao has just debuted, and he has taken the almost ultimate route, that is, the company's operators and behind-the-scenes work, although he has a high reputation, he does not rely on this fame to frequently appear on TV, but uses this time to do more business and behind-the-scenes work, such Zhou Xiao, although he has contributed a lot of good programs and good planning, but it also makes the audience who likes him a little regretful, because the opportunity to really see him on TV is compared to those who desperately take over the show after becoming popular, I can't wait for the artists of the five private enterprises to have programs seven days a week, which is simply too few!
And such Zhou Xiao is still a super planner who can plan a very good show, let him be the host of red and white, the ratings, the wonderful Cheng dù of red and white, and even the attention of the whole of Japan will soar wildly, and there is no need to worry about the ratings at all!
It can be said that if Zhou Xiao really wants to host red and white, it is definitely a good choice for NHK, compared with the two, it is not Zhou Xiao begging for red and white, but red and white begging for Zhou Xiao.
After figuring out such a relationship, Zhou Xiao had the opportunity to make a request.
Zhou Xiao's request is just like what he prepared before, he hopes that Lan and NHK will sign a plan to do red and white MC for five consecutive years, and NHK is not much surprised after hearing Zhou Xiao's proposal, Lan who has gradually grown into the pillar of Genesys, these five people have no problem doing MC, the only thing worrying is whether it is too early to start doing it in 07.
As for the relationship between Zhou Xiao and Jennis, after knowing that Zhou Xiao did not need to beg for red and white, but begged him for red and white, Jennis also knew that he had completely inherited a love from Zhou Xiao on his side, and this love was not small.
When the contract between Zhou Xiao and Denis was signed in the end, Zhou Xiao received a thank you call from the old man Kitagawa in person that night, not only that, but the old man even invited Zhou Xiao to participate in this year's J family New Year's Eve! J's New Year's Eve or something, it has always been Janiss' own participation, if the old man's move to invite Zhou Xiao is said, I am afraid it will scare people to death, if Zhou Xiao really goes, whether it is a guest or a host, or even if it is to watch the performance in the stands, it is enough to become big news.
However, in the face of such a temptation, Zhou Xiao did not nod, and he regretfully rejected the old man Kitagawa.
"Living in Japan, I understand Japanese culture, and the New Year may not be a big deal for you, but for me, family reunions are just as important, so I want to spend the New Year at home after this year's red and white season." Zhou Xiao said.
"Home?" The old man was actually a little hesitant when he heard Zhou Xiao say this, Zhou Xiao has been rumored to have a lot of women in recent years, but looking at his age, it is obvious that he has not yet married, and his parents are also in China, so who is he going home with for the holidays?
Although he was curious, the old man didn't say anything, and he didn't even show his curiosity.
"Since it's a holiday with someone at home, don't refuse if I send you two bottles of red wine, and in addition, if you or AZX have any needs in the future, you must tell us Genesys, and my people are at your disposal." Old man Kitagawa said. (To be continued......)
