On December 30th, the girls of AKB were rehearsing at the filming venue of NHK's Red and White Song Party, of course, most of the time, the girls spent waiting and preparing, as for the real rehearsal on stage, there were not many opportunities to actually rehearse on stage, and in the process of waiting, the girls also met with Arashi's five people and Yukie Nakama in turn, these six people are the hosts of this year's Red and White, AKB's debut, and I need to talk to them about the chat topic after the debut.

Of course, Zhou Xiao will not appear in red and white this year, but he also appeared on NHK as an AKB producer, and his job today is mainly to introduce artists from all walks of life to the members, especially those who may cooperate with AKB.

In fact, for Zhou Xiao, his relationship with Jennis is relatively delicate.

If you want to say that the Genesys artist with the best relationship with Zhou Xiao is, of course, the five uncles of SMAP, but regarding red and white, Zhou Xiao has some problems with SMAP and Iijima Sanzhi, because on the question of who to choose as the host of red and white, Zhou Xiao fell to Keiko Fujishima, the agent behind Lan.

In the original history, in 2008 and 2009, the hosts of the Red and White Song Club belonged to Zhongju Zhengguang, but for Zhou Xiao's own purposes, he turned to support Lan in 2008 to replace him to host Red and White, Zhou Xiao's support cannot be used as a decisive influence, but when the balance of strength between the two sides is quite balanced, Zhou Xiao's hosting is of some use.

In the end, Arashi got the host of the Red and White Song Club two years in advance and won it for five years, which made Fujishima Keiko very happy, because the five-year hosting of the Red and White Song Club is undoubtedly equivalent to a talisman, which can ensure that in the past few years, Arashi can develop quite freely and casually.

In fact, for Iijima Sanzhi's side, why don't you want Nakaju Masahiro to get the red and white host, originally, Iijima Sanzhi thought that Zhou Xiao would definitely be on their side. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao suddenly turned back.

This undoubtedly caught Iijima Sanzhi and Nakaju Masahiro off guard, originally if there was Zhou Xiao's support, it would be very easy for Nakaju to get the red and white host.

Why? Iijima angrily asked Zhou Xiao at that time, and Zhou Xiao couldn't say much about it, he couldn't say that he wanted Arashi to be the host, because AKB didn't seem to have this qualification at all, but he didn't just fall to Fujishima Keiko.

Takuya Kimura's "Antang Ji Qì Ren" and Masahiro Nakai's "ATARU" have no reason to ease the relationship with Iijima Sanchi, and now Zhou Xiao wants to say that inviting someone to star in a TV series is not an opportunity that can be obtained casually. Zhou Xiao even knows that many men and women may have made a lot of effort to see themselves, as for starring in their own dramas? That's not something you can do casually.

It is precisely because of this incident that the relationship between AKB and Arashi in this life is not bad, of course, these two groups that will actually become opponents cannot cooperate as closely as AKB and SMAP, but these two groups will not be the same as Zhou Xiao's previous life, it seems to have nothing to do with each other, and in essence, it is so complicated that they are opponents, and it is expected that AKB will become popular in the future. The intersection of the two teams will still be minimized as much as Zhou Xiao's previous life, but AKB's variety show on Lan under the name of AKB group instead of individual no longer seems to be completely impossible.

The day of rehearsals on the 30th passed quickly, and after a night's rest, the last day of 2009 arrived. On this last day, as soon as they got up, the girls began their busy work.

TBS's New Year's Eve rehearsal was the members' first job this morning, and it was different from NHK's red-white AKB singing the previously released singles. The New Year's Eve on the TBS side is relatively less formal, and the members are relatively free to perform, so here. AKB was arranged to sing their new single "Sakura Bookmark" ("桜の栞"), which will be released in the middle of February, and it may have been a problem to prepare the song and lyrics a month and a half in advance in the previous life, but now that Zhou Xiao is responsible for the composition of the song, Yasu Akimoto has a lot less work, so this cherry blossom list was quickly taken out.

AKB's general habit is to release the first single Sakura single every year, the second single swimsuit general election voting list, the third single traditional idol group's new single, the fourth single handsome single plus the fifth chapter single and the guessing box list added later.

Before 2010, the quality of AKB's cherry blossom list was quite good, and the popularity was also very high, "Ten Years of Sakura" and "Cherry Blossom Petals" had considerable attention even after 2010, but since 2010, AKB's cherry blossom list has been a little delicate, because the release time of the cherry blossom list is too embarrassing each time.

Take this song "Sakura Bookmark" as an example, this song is preceded by "Maybe It's an Excuse" and "RIVER", followed by "Ponytail and Hair Ring" and "HEAVYROCATION", sandwiched between these four songs, how can this song fight its way out? Originally, this song was not super good in terms of song quality, and it didn't have any special significance.

Historically, the sales of this song are still good, but AKB's sales have never had anything to do with the quality of the song.

Although the attention of this song is very poor in the feelings of later generations, the attention of the song at the time of release is still quite good, AKB is just starting to raise its head now, it is when everyone is curious, such a melody and slow rhythm of the song, the camera movement is relatively slow during the performance, it can make it easy to see most of the members of AKB, and the kimonos specially prepared for the performance are very beautiful and cute, and the performance on the stage is absolutely amazing.

The TBS rehearsal didn't take much time, and the girls quickly finished the rehearsal and came out of the studio and started to rush to the next place of work.

After a busy day, TBS was followed by Asahi, and after Asahi was day TV, when it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the girls came to NHK to do the final rehearsal preparations, and this preparation did not take long, and the girls came out of NHK and took the car to Fujidai.

At the entrance of Fujidai, the girls were expected to record about half an hour of 99 hours of "Mechaike", and the recording of this hour was very busy, and the girls were holding the script on the way to Fujidai. This recording, although it seems to be a recording show, but in fact there is only one recording opportunity, because the girls are actually very busy, when the program is recorded, while recording, there are staff members who are recording the time for the girls, once the time comes, even if the work here is not recorded, they must rush to the red and white, after all, that is their last and most important work this year.

The recording of "mechaike" will be broadcast in 2010 for the first time a few days later, in collaboration with AKB. In addition to the regular appearance of the show, there is also Jiangtou at 2:50.

This Jiangtou 2:50 is also a legend.

He has a strange stage name, and he also has a very strange art style, known as only one joke in his life, always makes some outrageous moves, often has pornographic jokes, and he is naked at every turn, which is very annoying by many people in Japan.

But...... Often, such a person is a very, very good person at heart.

Jiangtou 2:50. Another example is Lewd Okada, both of whom have been playing lewd jokes on TV for decades, but off-camera in private, they are both very gentle. Very kind, really people with an innocent side, think about it, the image in front of the camera itself is already hated by many people. If they were still so annoying in private, I'm afraid no one would have invited them to TV for a long time, and the only way to do this would be to let the TV station. The program producers all feel that they are good people, and it is possible to use such an image but stay in the TV circle for a long time.

This is the two sides of human beings, some men, doing extremely decent work on the TV screen, seem to be a peerless good person, but in fact, behind the scenes, they will sexually harass female anchors, beat and scold juniors and even do more excessive things, but some people are obviously very good and very good people, but they perform hateful roles on TV, which makes the audience all over Japan hate him very much.

The TV circle and the entertainment industry, strictly speaking, are such a different circle.

The filming of "Mechaike" lasted about an hour, and Jiang Tou's spoof was also a little different from the spoof Zhou Xiao saw in his previous life.

Zhou Xiao's AKB, the biggest feature is that the popularity is averaged a lot, in 2009, AKB, which had a chance to catch fire a year in advance, was deliberately suppressed by Zhou Xiao and deepened the fame and sense of existence of several of them, which made AKB first of all a few girls into people's sight, AKB in the previous life, at this time Jiangtou may also know Atsuko Maeda alone, but now AKB, Maeda Oshima everyone knows, These two people were deliberately promoted by the operation in the last year as the face of rivals and AKB. Another example is Mai Oshima, who was the first to start the variety show route in AKB, and she has been on a lot of shows in the past year, and finally Qin Zuo and Zi, she is most familiar with the show "mechaike", and the final test project is her famous work, after that project, I think Qin Zuo and Zi are really fun 99 and the program system zuò group also made another project around her.

The production ability and investment of the "mechaike" program group are not comparable to the idol late-night program of "Weekly AKB" in the previous life, this episode of Qin Zuo Kazuko was made very interesting and interesting, and it also appropriately played the girl's contrasting and cute advantages, becoming the second AKB to go out and successfully brush up on the girl who has a sense of zài in the prime-time program.

It can be said that Maeda Oshima represents the side of AKB idols and actors, and Kazuko Qin Zuo and Mai Oshima represent the side of AKB's variety shows.

Zhou Xiao doesn't really agree with the multi-faceted development of a member, the so-called film and television song stars and the like can be in a not very complete entertainment industry, but if it is a very sound entertainment industry, this kind of behavior will often evolve into film and television songs in the end.

can really mix well in three aspects, and even become a superstar There are very few people, Zhou Xiao may be one, but the guy with a super plug-in himself is not convincing at this time, other artists, Takuya Kimura and Masaharu Fukuyama may be good at TV singing, but the talent and hard work of these two are indispensable, and it is unrealistic for little idols to compare with them.

So most of the AKB members have their own focus at the beginning, Maeda Oshima will focus on acting, Mayu Airi will focus on singing, and Mai Oshima will follow Rino Fingerhara. Qin Zuo and Zi focus on variety shows, this focus is not completely unbreakable, Maeda Oshima may be solo, and Mayu Airi may also act, but after there is a focus and a focus, the development route of the members will undoubtedly be much clearer.

As for saying that Qin Zuo and Zi can't be compared with the previous six people, variety shows are more special, not that the variety show artists who are moving towards the big thing MC are variety shows, Qin Zuo and Zi are not variety shows, Qin Zuo and Zi take the route of reaction artists. If the business is good, her future route may be connected with Tetsuro Izukawa, Hidetaka Kano and the like, it can be said that Kazuko Qin Zuo is very different from Fingerhara.

Back at NHK from Fujidai, the girls were finally able to eat.

Today, everyone who has been traveling all day has not been able to take a break until now, and the girls' red and white appearance is in the second group, after dinner. Everyone is about to enter the rhythm of red and white.

Speaking of the first time Hongbai ate, Zhou Xiao also paid special attention to Qiu Yuan Caijia with great interest, it is said that when she participated in Hongbai, she brought back a lot of NHK bento boxes at home, this matter...... It turned out to be true.

But. Even if this is true, it is not surprising, because in addition to Akimoto, other artists will also bring red and white bento boxes to their homes, and the entertainment industry is a circle with a lot of money flowing. In this circle, the food is usually very good, like AKB members. Don't look at the money you don't make much, you can participate in some TV station activities or interviews, the condolences brought by the other party are quite high-end, if you are lucky enough to film, then the senior artists in the play may invite everyone to eat good things, the senior female artists may bring some cookies and the like that they made, and the condolences brought by the senior male artists are all high-end goods.

So it's understandable to take things home, red and white lunches, tissue boxes from musicstation, etc., and it's a shameful thing for artists who have just become famous or just become popular to take back and send them to ordinary people's relatives and friends.

Of course, this is only for the most part, if you take ten boxes of bento at a time...... That's really going to be a joke......

After dinner, the Red and White Song Party will begin.

And then...... The girls started to fall apart again.

Unlike in their previous lives, this is the first time they have participated in red and white.

The next few students plus the SKE members don't have any special feelings, the first few issues, especially the collapse of the first phase of the students, it has been so difficult for them in the past few years, when they just announced that they were on the red and white, the girls were already quite excited, and now they are surrounded by legendary artists, and they are really going to stand on that stage, it is impossible not to be excited or nervous at all.

In particular, several girls such as Takahashi Minami are desperately holding back tears, and on the side of the girls, makeup artists are on standby to touch up the makeup of the members, and some members even simply paint waterproof makeup, no matter how much tears are shed, they will not spend it.

Zhou Xiao watched from the side and didn't go up to say anything.

In 2007, he refused to appear in red and white, and before the announcement of red and white this year, the members also disagreed with his approach, because there is no way to guarantee whether they can appear in red and white in the future, and the entertainment industry is very cruel, although the team has been gradually getting better, but it may completely decline after a few months.

But after this year's appearance, all the members' disagreement with Zhou Xiao has melted away, and no one will doubt Zhou Xiao's seriousness towards everyone, so when Zhou Xiao's brother really brought everyone to this stage again, and it was justifiable, after relying on everyone's strength to go on this stage, the former dissatisfaction has disappeared, and now AKB can already say that he is an artist who participated in the red and white.

That's right, it's not a part of Akihabara culture, and it's not a cancer that can only be touched in the second dimension, and can only be touched by disgusting dead houses, they AKB are now the top idol group in Japan.

In front of the stage, Ayumi Hamasaki's singing voice came over, the three major singers of Heisei, the most popular idol and singer in the first decade of the 21st century, the legend of more than 50 million record sales, still holds the position of the opening guest of the Red and White Song Club for many consecutive times, and now she has gradually begun to fade away from her former glory, although relying on the greatness of the past, she can still get good treatment on the slightly conservative stage of red and white, but behind her, a new idol group has stood up.

At this time, people may have a lot of expectations and interest in AKB, but they may not think that AKB has a big future, no one knows that the idol group behind Ayumi Hamasaki will take over the banner of Ayumi Hamasaki in the second decade of the 21st century, and no one knows that this group can maintain more than one million single sales for many years.

On the last day of 2009, the legend of the first and second decades of the 21st century quietly began at the opening of the Red and White Song Meeting. (To be continued......)
