Chapter 602: Balancing or Turning to One Side?

Sunrise, Dengeki GS Magazine, the former is the name of an animation company, and the latter is the name of a monthly magazine.

Sunrise is a legendary animation company with many excellent animation works, among which Gundam is the most famous, and the name alone is enough to become a legend.

And "Dengeki GSMAGAZINE" magazine has also been a pretty good magazine in recent years, taking the route of young men.

What is the cooperation between AZX and these two ACG manufacturers?

If you want to talk about AKB at this time in Zhou Xiao's previous life, it is related to anime, many people should think of AKB0048, an animation directed by Masaharu Kawamori, but Zhou Xiao's goal is not on this.

The quality of 0048 is actually not bad, the story and painting, investment and production lineup are quite good, but from this time, to 2014, plus azx and the idol theme he is good at, another comic series is obviously more powerful and crazy than 0048.

This series is, of course, the ...... "LoveLive! 》。

From 2013 to 2014, there were three idol groups in Japan that set off 5 whirlwind appeals, one was AKB Group, the other was Momoiro Clover, and the third was the second generation from "LoveLive! μs.

And to say that among the three idol groups, the craziest meal is actually the latter.

Among the three idol groups, AKB takes the way that the core rice and the floating rice go hand in hand and spend a lot of effort to enter the TV circle, while the peach clover takes a more traditional one, with more floating rice, so the CD sales are not satisfactory, but it has a super concert mobilization ability.

And μs is a thorough pure two-dimensional idol route, and one of the most obvious characteristics of this route is...... The floating peripheral meal is almost zero, and the vast majority of the income from the operation comes from its fanatical two-dimensional meal, which is even crazier than the idol house.

On the ability to absorb gold. μs is definitely not inferior to the first two sets of real people combined.

This kind of cash monster, how could Zhou Xiao not intervene, since 2009, he has been thinking about making something like this.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back and talks about Zhou Xiao's step, he doesn't care, he doesn't care about taking someone else's path, so that the other party has no way to go.

What's more, this road is really difficult for him to fail.

《lovelive! In 2009, after Zhou Xiao proposed it, it received the full support of the two companies, at that time AKB already had considerable influence in Akihabara, and the two companies were not stupid, they were well aware of the influence of AZX and the potential of the idol road in the future. It can be said that Zhou Xiao and AZX have made their own achievements on a route that has almost been abandoned, and even the entire Japanese idol industry has benefited from the rise of AKB and began to take off.

In addition to these two companies, there was another music production company called Lantis, which belonged to the Bandai Group as Sunrise, and in this respect, it can be said that it was a collaboration or project between the two companies within Bandai itself. But Zhou Xiao estimated that even in the previous life, Sunrise may have looked for Yasushi Akimoto's AKS when it was originally planned, but the two sides are likely to fail to cooperate in the end because of the cooperation share, who will lead the way, etc.

AKS of Yasushi Akimoto in the previous life. It is very difficult to gain control in such a three-way cooperation, as a company that runs a female idol project, except for the familiarity with the three-dimensional idol, they don't have much capital and qualifications to cooperate with these two. The so-called planning ability that the calculation style Akimoto Yasushi relied on to become famous is likely to put a question mark in front of the dimensional wall.

But AZX is different, the idol business is only one part of AZX's many industries. PC games, especially mini-games, mobile games, web games, etc., are the most profitable projects of AZX, and they are also one of the most advantageous places for the two companies to cooperate with AZX.

Another thing that is looking forward to is Zhou Xiao's planning ability, Zhou Xiao's age is much younger than Qiu Yuanyasu, so when dealing with this kind of thing with a sense of the times, everyone will definitely believe him more than Qiu Yuanyasu.

When Lang has a concubine, many things will fall into place.

Zhou Xiao undoubtedly got 51% control of the entire project, because he was the proposer and controller of the plan, and Zhou Xiao, who had enough information in his mind, not only designed the characters and stories, but also gave the things to be realized in the future mobile games and other network directions and the entire publicity planning process. Even Bandai, the parent company of Sunrise, is unlikely to raise any objections, and they may even feel that they are taking advantage.

This time to the company, Zhou Xiao talked to the people of the two companies about how to cooperate and sign the contract, because the three parties have basically reached an agreement in this regard, and then just wait for the signing of the contract.

This kind of work is trivial and meticulous, but no one in the industry will look down on these works, because these are foundations, and no matter how gorgeous the work itself is, it will not work if these foundations are not laid.

AZX's biggest advantage is that they have money, and the crazy popular AKB has now become a monster idol for profit, as AZX's own music company, AZXFart releases various CDs and DVDs, all of which are bringing huge profits to the company.

What's even more terrifying is that these profits are still a relatively small part of the current AKB, because the profits of the peripheral products sold during the various live performances of Akihabara and AKB are even more terrible, ordinary towels, cups and other products, after being printed with the heads and even names of AKB girls, their profits have increased by five times and tenfold, especially when the production of these products is OEM to domestic processing factories in China, AKB's profits are now even more soft.

Also exaggerated are Zhou Xiao's various works. Not to mention the early works, among the works in recent years, the various derivatives of "Legalhigh" have also been sold softly, and it is even more exaggerated that the super works that have been created since a few years ago, and AZX can make a lot of profits from these things.

The massive profits have made other forces in the Japanese entertainment industry quite interested in the idol industry, and they have pulled their own idol groups.

Of course, AZX will also pay close attention to these idol groups, theoretically they must understand their opponents in order to make changes as quickly as possible, but AKB within the next year or two, to be honest, there is no need to pay too much attention to other idol groups. There is no idol group in the current Japanese entertainment industry that can block the attention of AKB and AZX, in fact, it is just routine attention.

A big idol group is basically difficult to shake, and there is usually only one way to make AKB decline, and that is to slowly wait for her to decline.

As for smearing AKB with scandals and the like, Zhou Xiao and Yasu Akimoto are not decorations, under the management of the Japanese entertainment industry for so many years, many media have been tied to this chariot. Like AKB is crazy now, girls take all kinds of photos, go to various magazines and the like, of course, they will choose familiar ones. In the magazines with good relationships, some magazines don't publish idol photos themselves, but in fact, the magazine itself may have a relationship with another magazine that publishes AKB photos, or even simply the owner or subordinate of that magazine.

It would be wrong to say that AKB has no rivals at all, such as "Weekly Wenchun". Now that AKB has become crazy popular, Zhou Xiao has become more and more aware of the movements of this magazine.

Zhou Xiao's relationship with this magazine is actually very good, and several of his novels have been published here. So since his debut, the magazine's attitude towards Zhou Xiao is usually good news and not bad news, even if it sometimes reports some of his scandals, they are all the kind of things that are not lethal to men, for example, Wen Chun has reported several times that he has had the experience of eating out with Ryoko Hirosue, Maki Horikita and others, but this kind of report is not to mention Wen Chun, every time this kind of report comes out, there are even a lot of eyewitness information on the Internet, because Zhou Xiao is simply having a meal with friends or subordinates, What should everyone do after dinner, clean and innocent, there is nothing that cannot be reported.

But the key is with Yasu Akimoto.

"I was at odds with "Wen Chun" back then, and now I'm actually afraid that Wen Chun will attack you because of me." When chatting with Zhou Xiao, Qiu Yuankang expressed his worries more than once.

"What happened back then?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"The outside world report is only a part, but one thing is that I did not run the kitten club well, this group from the beginning of its establishment is the evil road, not only the line of evil, the selection of people and the entire internal management and operation is also evil, less than two months after the establishment, there are already members and staff in love, smoking and drinking or anything else."

"And then Wen Chun reported it?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Yes, although a lot of means were used at that time, it still failed to stop Wen Chun from reporting these things."

"Many of these methods are shady, right?"

"Well, I have some connections with the underworld, and the outside world regards these connections as evidence that I am the underworld, in fact...... Why do I want to go to the underworld, I can earn a lot of money just writing lyrics every day, the Japanese underworld sounds scary, but in fact it's just a dog that eats raised by the government and the rich, and there are some things that we don't like to eat and it's inconvenient to eat, so we let them eat and then throw them some rewards. ”

"However, the underworld can indeed do a lot......" Zhou Xiaodao.

"All they can do is deal with things that are also on the edge of the law, such as your AZX itself, and they will never dare to reach out." Yasudo Akimoto.

"Oh? It's true? ”

"Of course, how much do you have to pay in a year just to pay taxes, and if even you are threatened, how will the Japanese government deal with itself?"

"But what if there is a black hand behind the underworld? What if the mafia attacks us in a mafia way? Zhou Xiao asked.

"They don't have to, they usually do it more directly." Yasudo Akimoto.

"More direct? Like what? Zhou Xiao asked.

"They're going to attack you with something more showy, just like you did in the previous showdown with Shinsuke Shimada." Akimoto said.

"Will they really do that? If it's just that, I'm not afraid! Zhou Xiao said.

He does have the capital to not be afraid, and now that the Japanese entertainment industry has his name, it is a big signboard, and don't look at the wonderful projects that he can use in his mind, but his ten-year career in the entertainment industry is also not in vain, and he has learned a lot in the past ten years. These things are combined with the experience of five years and beyond the appreciation level of Japanese audiences in the same period, Zhou Xiao feels that it is difficult for him to lose.

"I also know that you are very powerful, but don't underestimate your opponent, AZX is very big and strong, but Xingchen is as huge as Sony! More powerful ...... It's a TV station! Yasudo Akimoto.

"TV station?" Zhou Xiao was taken aback.

"That's right, you've always been good friends with Japanese TV, but this kind of friendly attitude will make you offend several other TV stations, and the relationship between Asahi TV and you has never been good, right?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"Yes!" Zhou Xiaodao.

"But Asahidai is mostly taking the funny route. I have limited influence on your AKB, but I want you to pay attention to Fujidai! ”

"Fujidai?" Zhou Xiao was surprised, his cooperative relationship with Fuji TV has always been very good, and various TV dramas and the like are broadcast on Fuji TV.

"Your cooperation with Fuji TV, in the final analysis, is just an ordinary business cooperation, not as close as your relationship with Japanese TV, and the most important thing is that your title group. And the super system series you created are not on Fuji TV, these two programs are your two strongest assets in the past ten years, and they are also your biggest signboards. If you have either of these things put on Fujidai. Then Fuji TV will never deal with you, but you put both on the Japanese TV. Launching a title program on a TV station is a kind of cooperation and a kind of compromise, just like Junyuki Tamura is to Asahi. If you don't, you'll never be a member of this station. ”

There were a lot of things that Qiu Yuankang didn't say clearly, but Zhou Xiao also understood. Title program or something,It's really a big honor.,There are only five major TV stations in Japan.,To be able to open a program with your own name on such a TV station.,Since the birth of the five major TV stations to now, there aren't many people.,From this point of view,It seems simpler to get into Todai and become a billionaire or something.。

If a person starts a title show on the TV station, it means that he has a very close cooperation with the TV station, and the two must share the honor and disgrace, and the TV station will not deal with you.

When Qiu Yuankang said this, there was another thing that was not said that Zhou Xiao understood by himself.

You Zhou Xiao is very powerful, but is the amazing foundation of Fujitai something you can fight against? Let's take a look at the artists who have title shows on Fuji TV, 99, DT, Tunnel...... If you really fight against Fujitai and make people anxious, and a few super funny artists get together, how do you deal with it? In Zhou Xiao's mind, I still remember that just two or three years later, 99 and DT broke more than ten years of co-acting ng and starred together!

"So all I can do is ......" he already understood what Akimoto meant.

"Fuji TV or Nippon TV, balance or completely turn to the other side, the time to make a choice, is your next prime-time title group!" Yasudo Akimoto.

Zhou Xiao nodded, he also understood, this title group can only be given to these two TV stations, and it is impossible for the remaining three TV stations to get this program, and Zhou Xiao must not give it to them, because if it is given, then Fuji TV and Japanese TV will still maintain an unbalanced state, which is likely to cause a fierce counterattack by Fuji TV, and when the time comes, Zhou Xiao and AZX will have neither a way to appease Fuji TV, nor will Japan TV go all out to help, and they are likely to fall into a rather passive situation.

"What should I choose?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"It's up to you, it's going to be hard, and every time you do something in the future, you'll need to balance it again, and you'll need to have more and more complex interactions with the two forces. If you fall to the other side, it is much easier to choose, but the real difficulties you face are also huge, and your show may face a great threat in the future, not only those funny artists of Fuji TV, but also the relationship between Fuji TV and Jennis, between Fuji TV and you, Jennis's choice may not be forever You also know. Akimoto said.

"Finally...... It's time to choose......" Zhou Xiao said.

"Actually, this choice is also a good thing for you." Yasushi Akimoto's words changed.

"A good thing?"

"That's right, Fuji TV and Nippon TV must be hoping to win you over, so they will definitely promise very good conditions to invite you! Whatever you choose, you'll get quite a high return. Yasudo Akimoto.

"It's a return, it's also a burden......," Zhou Xiao said, the two TV stations have indeed sent a lot of cooperation intentions and promises about the future prime time, but Zhou Xiao and the two sides have not yet sat down together to talk about these things, so the most critical things have not been taken out by both parties.

"Don't be in the midst of happiness and don't know the blessings, you say that you want to open a prime time, and the major TV stations will immediately send their schedules, such an artist, only you can do it in Japan now." Akimoto said jealously.

"Hehe, Mr. Akimoto, when my show starts, how about you please make a regular appearance?" Zhou Xiao asked with a wicked smile.

"Me? My body is no longer good...... Old. Qiu Yuankang looked at Zhou Xiao, who was not yet thirty years old and full of vitality, and shook his head and said. (To be continued......) R752
