Chapter 288: Youth Amigo

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The contract with Toyota is very easy, the two sides do not have much difference on the remuneration, Zhou Xiaolai also had a good relationship with Li Rui before, and he attaches the most importance to being able to cooperate with Toyota, as for how much money he can make, he doesn't care very much.

In the end, the two parties agreed that Zhou Xiao would set a new advertising campaign for Toyota's new models this year, and he would also appear in this series of advertisements, in fact, as a big director, few people would direct small advertisements, and advertising or something is also a waste of people's energy, from the generation of ideas to the final completion of the script and shooting, the director and the director usually need a lot of time, but Zhou Xiao does this is nothing more than convenient, he has a lot of advertisements from major companies in his mind, With these things, you can skip the most time-wasting stages and earn fame and money, so why not?

The day after Toyota was settled, "The Man Who Can't Get Married" began to be released.

This rather strange TV series has received a lot of attention, but the response when the first episode was actually broadcast was not particularly good, and many people reacted that the male protagonist was too selfish and arrogant, and it seems that quite a lot of people have not adapted to the style of Zhou Xiaochuang's new character.

At this pace, the episode "The Man Who Can't Get Married" has received 21.8% of the ratings, which is actually very, very powerful, although Zhou Xiao is now very concerned, but after all, the time of this TV series is not an important period like the ninth month of the month, and it can get 2o% of the ratings, and its table is strong, but the problem is also here. After getting such high ratings, the whole aZx idea is about the same. That is, it will not be easy to wait until the second episode, and then try to get this kind of rating.

Generally speaking, TV dramas are like this, the ratings of the first episode and the last episode belong to the highest point, and the second episode to the middle of the episode (usually the fifth or sixth episode) are in a state of decline a little bit, if the good ratings of the first episode cannot be maintained, then everyone will see a big dive in the ratings of more than five percent, which has a great impact on the fame and reputation of the entire series.

But this is no longer something that aZx can interfere with, the first few episodes of the TV series have already been produced. It is even more impossible for a propaganda program to be recorded and broadcast now, no program can be prepared to be recorded and broadcast so quickly, and as soon as it is ready, you can only wait.

A week passed quickly, and in five of the seven days, Zhou Xiao's name appeared in the staff list of variety shows or TV series. When Fuji TV reported a lot of "The Man Who Can't Get Married" 2o%+ ratings, other TV stations focused on Zhou Xiao's success, dominating the five major TV stations or something, it is not uncommon in the Japanese variety show circle, many celebrities can have fixed programs on the five major TV stations at the same time, and some people are even very popular. A high-energy and cheap comedy artist can have more than fifteen variety shows on major TV stations at the same time, yes, this person is 13 or 14 years of Ariyoshi Hiroyuki. But Zhou Xiao's rule is different, and the focus of his rule over the five major TV stations is not to appear on camera but to work behind the scenes.

Generally one staff member. Being able to participate in the behind-the-scenes production of one or two shows is already very powerful, and some directors direct three or four variety shows at the same time. A big reason is that it sacrifices quality to quantity, like Zhou Xiao, who proposed the concept of the program by himself, wrote his own book, and became the director of variety shows, which is unprecedented in Japan.

A newspaper commented: "Zhou Xiao, a 2O-year-old young man who suddenly appeared, has achieved success in the entertainment industry in a strange way, what we have often seen in the past is that a famous singer or actor or director must also be very careful about his identity, such people are often secretive about their own **, very picky about choosing the program they want to be on, and may even be completely invisible, refusing to be on TV to perform their own songs, before, we have seen too many such people."

But he doesn't seem to like it......"

Zhou Xiao doesn't want to be that kind of high-end and glamorous actor or singer or director, which is the most popular in the Japanese entertainment industry, especially those funny artists. There is no doubt that a funny artist is very hard, usually on the show, a funny artist is the most unlimited, and he is also known for not refusing to work, whether it is showing his ass or his face is covered with spiders and toads, funny artists will do these jobs.

But they work so hard, there is a huge gap between their work income and those who "eat with their faces", not only that, actors, singers, because of the need for image, many things will not be done, and they will spray powder on their faces to greet cream? This kind of thing idol lotus can do, but singers and actors can't do it, let alone more exaggerated things, usually when they are on the show, the most common scene is that the funny artists are doing their best to enliven the atmosphere, and the group of actors and singers who seem to be on the show like charity have an unparalleled talent for cold field, as long as they speak, the scene will immediately be quiet, it is like the enemy of TV variety shows, to be honest, for such singers and actors, funny artists are both envious and jealous, but they have no choice, Who let themselves not go down that path because of their ugly face or some other relationship?

In such an environment, Zhou Xiao has become an outlier, his singles of Zhang Zhang million are something that few singers in Japan can do, and he has a box office of 200 million US dollars in a movie, which is beyond the reach of directors in Japan, but he never holds his own identity, he laughs and scolds on the show, and lets go of his body to do anything that was originally considered unsuitable for an artist of his identity, from this point of view, no matter what he will do in the future, even if he is really exhausted as some people say, I'm afraid that he can still survive in this circle, because in his strongest moment, he has formed too many good karma.

For example, in Japan, there is a variety show that is known as exposing artists**, and a large group of artists are usually invited to come over and say**, saying that it is exposed, but in fact, everyone's lines and statements are only known after repeated confirmation, and this is the most common picture in such a show. It's a group of funny artists showing off who they have and who they are good friends with.

Generally speaking. In this case, comedy artists will not talk about female idols, say photo idols, as a funny artist with a good status, there is a bit of a price drop, saying traditional idols, and the idol's company does not agree, because female idols who are suspected of being in love cannot have a male relationship, so at this time, the vast majority of artists will say the names of some actors, singers and even directors. As soon as these names appear in the big names, the other artists on the scene will be envious and jealous, and the people who announce them will appear very proud.

Takuya Kimura's Janis seniors, Zhou Xiao's seniors in being's company, and Shunji Iwai who made movies, are quite face-saving when they say it, but among these people. There is a person who is very special to save zài.

Is Zhou Xiao not qualified enough? He is almost the most show-off qualification in Japan now, but the reason why he is not qualified is that once he is on this kind of show, at least half of the ten funny artists present are usually connected with Zhou Xiao, and some have Zhou Xiao's mobile phone number. Some have gone out with Zhou Xiao, in short, once someone mentions Zhou Xiao in such a show, many people will echo it at first: "I also have his mobile phone number!" "I've had dinner with him!" And so on, in the late stages. Once someone says this, the funny artists on the scene will laugh at each other. The reason is very simple, who doesn't have Zhou Xiao's mobile phone number, do you have us and what do you show?

Finally, the ratings of the second episode of "The Man Who Can't Get Married" did not meet everyone's predictions, 15.1%, which is quite good to exchange the ratings of more than 15% for the second episode of other dramas, but for Zhou Xiao's new TV series, the diving of more than 5% is still a little worrying, worried about the potential of this drama later.

Although worried, Zhou Xiao didn't have time to think too much, he had actually been preparing for a TV series with his participation in the next quarter recently.

What TV series will Zhou Xiao participate in next quarter? What he wants to participate in is the filming of the TV series "Wild Boar Makeover".

In fact, Zhou Xiao is not the director of this drama, he is just doing screenwriting work, but with Zhou Xiao's current popularity, Fuji TV will naturally not be willing to give Zhou Xiao only one screenwriting job, in their eyes, if they can make good use of Zhou Xiao, it will bring great help and attention to the TV series. Therefore, Fuji TV found Zhou Xiao and put forward their own requirements, they hope that Zhou Xiao can serve as a special consultant for the film in the new drama, and the job of this special consultant is very simple, that is, to let Zhou Xiao participate in the whole process of filming, so that Fuji TV can have enough room for publicity, of course, this may be very uncomfortable for the director of the film, because he will have to conduct his own filming in the state of "Emperor Taishang" who may point fingers at the shooting at any time in the crew.

Frankly speaking, if this matter were replaced by directors from other countries such as China, the director may have quit a long time ago, but in Japan, where the TV director industry has never been said to have rights, and Fuji TV has also specially found a new director who has just become a director, will be thirty years old, and has only four or five years of qualifications, which can allow Zhou Xiao to sit in such a seemingly inappropriate position.

aZx is naturally also very concerned about the filming of the wild boar makeover, because this will be the first drama starring Maki Horikita.

The acting ...... of Maki Horikita's acting skills It's definitely not good, but if you want to say it's bad, it depends on who you compare it with, and it's naturally not convincing to compare with those very talented actors, but if you look at the idols whose talent is basically o after Horikita Maki, you will feel that Horikita's acting skills really can't be considered bad...... Therefore, it is meaningless to compare different coordinate systems......

Of course, Maki Horikita is not the protagonist of this play, and Shuji and Akira, that is, Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi, are the undoubted main characters in this play.

Zhou Xiao and the "Mountain Turtle" have actually met a long time ago, and they have met when they debuted, at that time Zhou Xiao was still a fledgling eighteen-year-old boy, and the two Mountain Turtles followed Fujishima Keiko, who is known as an aunt, to watch the 1ive performance of the predecessors "S--M" aps, Zhou Xiao at that time was just a hairy boy who had no power and powerless, had just debuted, and seemed to be going to take the singer-songwriter route, and they were members of the famous Genesys family, and there was actually a very huge identity gap between the two sidesAt that time, the two of them still had a trace of grievance in their hearts when they heard that the respected Aunt Jingzi wanted to persuade Zhou Xiao to join Denis, in their opinion. They have been valued and cultivated since childhood, and they should be regarded as the descendants of Genesys, what is it for you to be a transfer student who is inserted halfway.

I didn't expect it. In two years, everything has changed, and the newcomer in the MS backstage has become the king-level figure who is now famous in all of Japan, and the two of them are still working hard to dance with their predecessors, learn all kinds of knowledge and skills, and want to make their debut as soon as possible.

The gap between people is sometimes so huge.

Right now. Zhou Xiao is standing here, Yamashita Tomohisa and Kazuya Kazuya are very happy in their hearts, glad that the two of them did not say anything bad about Zhou Xiao when he first debuted, you know, now Zhou Xiao has specially proposed to let the two of them star after studying with the old man Kitagawa, what is this? If the results of this "Wild Boar Makeover" are average, it will be fine, but if this film is famous. This film made the two of them popular, so they have to greet Zhou Xiao with the general etiquette of a disciple when they see Zhou Xiao for the rest of their lives, because the two of them are tantamount to being dug by Zhou Xiao himself!

The preparation for the film "Wild Boar Makeover" is still only in the initial stage, but today Zhou Xiaojian saw that the purpose of the two turtles was not the most direct preparation for the TV series, what he handed over to the two was a song.

The song "Youth Amigo" is probably the only one of them in Japan. can sing more than one million sales.

Today, Zhou Xiao is responsible for recording songs for the two.

Zhou Xiao, who was fully responsible for the lyrics and arrangement, and the recording work almost did what this song could do, except for mV shooting. He did so much of the work alone, and the people of Janiss, including the mountain turtle, were very grateful. In their opinion, this song may increase sales as the theme song of the TV series. But no matter how much it should not be more than 500,000, after all, the combination of Xiu Er and Zhang of the two of them is only limited for a limited period of time, and the group to which the two originally belonged has not yet debuted, and they can only debut in advance, which can only be regarded as a coincidence.

And if he can really reach more than 500,000 sales, even if he gives Zhou Xiao the highest 15% share, presumably he won't care about getting a reward of more than 100 million.

What they don't know is that the potential of this song is not 500,000 but 1 million, and the difference between 500,000 singles and 1 million singles is extremely huge, the former does not get much in other directions except for sales shares, but the latter has become a social phenomenon, and in addition to sales shares, the usage fees and karaoke in various places will make Zhou Xiao double his money.

As for the two turtles? Although they sang this song, it was a pity that they couldn't get a cent of royalties, except for Zhou Xiao, the rest were basically divided by Record Airlines, Xing Company and Genesys.

The song "Youth Amigo" is not difficult to sing, it is a very standard idol song, in other words, as long as you sing without going out of tune and practice it twice, you should be able to master this song very well, which is why this song can be popular, just like a flower of "s--m" AP, catchiness is the main reason why a song can become popular. Such a simple song, coupled with the fact that Zhou Xiao already had in his heart that this song should be interpreted, made the recording process of the two turtles not difficult at all, as long as Zhou Xiao sang it again and explained the notes of the lyrics, and then the two tried to sing it once or twice, they could basically complete a sentence.

The recording of the song lasted for about four hours in total, and after coming out of the recording studio, Zhou Xiao stopped the two who were younger than him and said: "I have already told you Genesys that from now until July, you will enter a very intensive publicity period, promoting not only this Japanese drama, but also this song and the two of you, when the time comes, you will not only be on various variety shows on Japanese TV, but also on other TV stations, but at that time, you can promote less TV series and more yourself."

In addition, there are some things that I have made clear first, so as not to trouble everyone in the future if there is a problem. ”

"Yes, you say!" Now in the Japanese entertainment industry, there are few people who are disrespectful to Zhou Xiao, not to mention that the two turtles are younger than Zhou Xiao, hearing Zhou Xiao put forward things so seriously, the two hurriedly replied.

"Not long after my company's artists debuted, their acting skills and treatment of people still need to be polished, love is forbidden or something, the company will not directly write it into the contract, but I hope you can try to control yourself and don't make a move on them, they are still young, and there is still a long time to do in the entertainment industry, if you really like it, I hope you will consider these things after five years." Zhou Xiao said.

"Good! We got it! The two quickly replied.

Why did Zhou Xiao say that? In fact, it's very simple, both of them are young and beautiful teenagers from Denis, and Maki Horikita and Erika Toda, who are going to participate in this play, are also big beauties, and the two sides are easily attracted to each other, Kameri and how Zhou Xiao doesn't know, Yamashita Tomohisa (nicknamed Yama P) is called "Gongkou P" ten years later, although this Gongkou P mainly kills married young women after ten years, but at this time Zhou Xiao didn't dare to take risks, he didn't want to work hard to find and cultivate the little Horikita Light yì was dug up by Yamashita Tomohisa!
