The entire aftermath of the Ice Bucket Challenge will not end until February or even March '11, and during this time, on the night of the show's announcement, Zhou Xiao and the AKB girls did more than just a variety show.

Almost as soon as the show ended, the TBS Record Awards staff knocked on the door of the lounge, and the AKB girls had to appear at the Record Awards.

To talk about this year's record awards, Zhou Xiao has no special expectations.

The Record Awards, like those bird film and television awards ceremonies in Japan, will always have an impact on whether or not to win the award, it is always the energy of the force itself rather than the artistic value of the work, just like Zhou Xiao's movie back then, even if he won the Oscar outside, if he didn't work hard after coming back, he might not be able to win a local film award.

What since. By the society, words. Discuss. Self. As a result, there is no such thing as fairness and justice in democratic countries, at most, there is no one at the head of these enterprises called government. The organization of the government has a higher influence and can force changes for the will of the government.

In this case, it is not easy for AKB to win the prize now.

Zhou Xiao's power is actually not small at all, as the boss of a powerful company, the AZX entertainment department may not be the top in Japan, but if you count the game department, now AZX is already the top big company in Japan.

Not only that, Zhou Xiao and AZX also have very good cooperation with many companies, such as Toyota Group, such as Toshiba Group, and Coca-Cola...... Many of these collaborations even started when Zhou Xiao first debuted, and after years of cooperation, the two sides have accumulated enough trust, if Zhou Xiao said that he wanted a record award, it was impossible for these forces not to work hard to help. After all, Zhou Xiao and AKB won the award, and they can also get benefits.

But there are also problems,First of all, AZX's close relationship with Japanese TV,Such a company won the award of TBS's main urging,It's a bit of a slap in the face for TBS。

And awards like this have always been a battlefield for major companies to compete for, except for Genesys, other companies and forces will work very hard to win awards, and Zhou Xiao's identity and forces are some, but they will be neutralized a lot.

So earlier today, Zhou Xiao also asked a similar question after meeting the girls: "The outside world may think that you have a great chance, but in my opinion, this opportunity does not reach the point where Cheng Dù has a very huge possibility of winning the championship." So...... For today's big prize, it's best for everyone to have fun, and as for the grand prize, next year and even the year after tomorrow, Ayumi Hamasaki's predecessors will win three consecutive championships, and I hope that we will strive to create it again next year. ”

There were artists singing on the stage, and Zhou Xiao took the girls to sit in the audience, where their seats had been empty for the previous two hours. It's quite embarrassing to look at, but this is also something that can't be helped, and TBS also expressed understanding of Zhou Xiao's situation.

A group of people came out of the lounge with red faces, and although they had tried to be as careful as possible, they were still moving. Especially when many people know that their programs in the same period have just finished on other TV stations, everyone is even more curious about their performance on Japanese TV.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, how is it, how is the effect of the show?" Zhou Xiaogang sat down. A man sitting in front of him turned around and asked.

Zhou Xiao took a look, and it turned out that there was Glacier Qingzhi sitting in front of him, and this little brother who sang and sang also competed with Zhou Xiao for the Best Newcomer Award back then. He debuted at the same time as Zhou Xiao, and he was also smooth, and this kid even won the top prize of a record award in 2006.

But people can't be compared, ten years later, when they sat in the TBS studio again, Zhou Xiao hadn't added this award ceremony for many years, but when Glacier Qingzhi called Zhou Xiao, he added the title of Mr. after his name, and anyone could hear the flattery in that tone.

In addition, Zhou Xiao is a little embarrassed that it is not just a glacier Qingzhi, on this stage ten years ago, there were also girls in the Good Morning Girl Group who participated in the record awards with him, but now this name has not appeared in the mouth of the Japanese mainstream media for a long time, Zhou Xiao knows that AKB five years after the previous life can still maintain a seemingly good situation, but ten years later, AKB in 2020, he is really not sure whether it will be drowned in history like the current Good Morning.

Zhou Xiao also admires the Good Morning Girl Group and its combination with the same company, Chunjun's ability to make zuò people is something that Zhou Xiao admires very much, the decline of Good Morning, Zhou Xiao did not gloat at all, in his thoughts, the prosperity of idols should not be a prosperous era of two combinations, but a prosperous era ushered in by all idols.

From this point of view, it can be said that he is much better than the guy like Denis Kitagawa who can't tolerate a second boy idol group in Japan.

As for this year's top award, Zhou Xiao is not looking forward to it, in 08 and 09, this award has been given to EXILE twice in a row, according to history, this year's award will also be EXILE.

Looking at the bearded man Hiro not far from his position, Zhou Xiao felt a little helpless, Hiro's own power was actually not comparable to Zhou Xiao, but who made his company so close to Ai Hui and Matsuura Katsuto, Zhou Xiao estimated that Ai Hui must have LDH shares.

When the record awards are approaching this year, LDH and AZX, which had a very good relationship, have become a lot more embarrassed, Zhou Xiao and hiro, after recording the ice bucket challenge, have not been in touch for a while, no way, although most of the time there is not much competition, but at this time, the two sides are complete opponents, just like AKB during the general election, there will always be quite an embarrassment between the members.

What Zhou Xiao didn't know was that Hiro was the most nervous and worried person at this moment.

With EXILE's popularity and strength in recent years, unless Denis's Arashi announces his candidacy, the Record Awards will not be able to run out of their hands.

But if you want to die, AKB is popular at this time, and the millions of orders that have not been seen for a few years have reappeared in the world, and they are two million orders, counting the "Order of Opportunities" released in December, it is essentially three million orders, and there are miracles of millions in a single day.

Even better is the performance of AKB's song "HR" this year, which has been on the karaoke chart since its release, although this year's EXILE song "Iwishforyou" is also well-known to the Japanese. There is still a considerable gap compared to "HR".

What makes Hiro care more is Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao ...... When I was a singer, I released a lot of songs, and the strength of these songs almost made people lose their competitiveness.

But...... Zhou Xiao has never won the award of the Record Awards, if he does not run like Janis, or like Sakai Izumi, everyone knows that it is okay to have no intention of fame and fortune, but he never declares this, and the film awards have not been less, so there has always been a saying on the Record Awards, that is, they owe Zhou Xiao an award, and Zhou Xiao is the biggest pearl of the Record Awards over the years.

In fact. Zhou Xiao has not really been singing for a long time, but in the first two years of his debut, he has produced so many songs that it seems that he is the only one singing in the whole of Japan, and the reason why he is not in a hurry to give him the award is actually the reason why he is too powerful, you must know that Zhou Xiaoke has not yet reached the age of 20 in those two years, a teenager who has not yet reached adulthood, and the whole of Japan is eager to write songs, and everyone thinks that his talent can last longer. So there is no hurry to give him the award.

The result...... His talent has indeed always been there, but after those two years, his talent was used for movies and TV series, and there was less in singing......

In the end, people found out that even if they wanted to release his record awards, it was impossible. Because he himself no longer sings.

Nearly a decade has passed.

Now, Zhou Xiao is back with AKB48 again.

Hiro wasn't sure if the judging panel would give AKB48 a record award to make up for the record award that was owed to Zhou Xiao that year.

This may sound like a fantasy. But as long as things have something to do with Zhou Xiao, Hiro feels that no matter how incredible it is, it is possible.

There are not many people and groups who can win three consecutive record awards, which usually represents super dominance and popularity. Looking ahead, in modern times, only Ayumi Hamasaki can do this.

If they can do it this time, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to gaining the same or similar historical status as Ayumi Hamasaki.

Zhou Xiaogang sat down for a few seconds, and the singer on the stage had finished singing, and he was still a little relaxed and instantly became serious, because he knew very well that the camera was about to hit him next.

So far, there are not many parts left that have not been carried out, and even AKB that came out with Zhou Xiao actually has several girls such as Zhu Lina who have left in advance because of time.

Zhou Xiao sat with the girls for a while, and the final award finally arrived.

Not far in front of him, Hiro sat up straight, and even Hikawa Qingzhi, a person who knew that it was actually difficult to win the award, was nervous, but AKB and Zhou Xiao, who were predicted by the outside world to have the greatest possibility this year, didn't particularly care, AKB girls felt that this was the first year they became popular after all, and they were confident that AKB would definitely be able to win this award, but if it was only this year, it would be normal even if they couldn't get it.

And then...... The announcement on stage arrived.

"...... The winner of the 52 Japan Record Awards is...... AKB48！ 《heavyrotation》！ ”

……

"Huh? That's it? Zhou Xiao and the AKB girls were stunned.

At this time, the camera of the TV station would not give him the camera even if he cared about Zhou Xiao, all the cameras were aimed at the girls, and what the audience in front of the TV saw was the girls' faces full of surprise and disbelief.

"AKB members are invited to come on stage to receive the award!" The host invited, and the girls reacted and cheered to take the stage to accept the award.

In the audience, Qiu Yuankang and Zhou Xiao applauded and said, "Nine times out of ten, this award is made up for you." ”

"Hehe......" Zhou Xiao was helpless, although he had never declared that he would refuse the award, but for Zhou Xiao, he really didn't have much interest in this record award, otherwise he wouldn't have given up being a singer after singing all the songs in one go, he didn't need this award to prove anything, AKB needed it.

But winning the award in this way now may not be what Zhou Xiao wants to see.

He thought of the first time AKB was red and white in his previous life, that time he relied on the so-called Akihabara culture to be red and white, and the whole appearance did not even exceed one minute can be called AKB's black history, not relying on his own strength in red and white, Zhou Xiao felt that it was not very helpful to the girls, so in this life, in 2007, he refused to let the girls appear in red and white.

As a result, the borrowing of red and white is indeed not done now, but the record awards here are invisibly equivalent to the girls borrowing Zhou Xiao's strength.

"What's the fuss? You're going to play too! Just when Zhou Xiao didn't know whether he was regretful or happy. Yasu Akimoto poked him and reminded.

Zhou Xiao then remembered that he was also going to play.

The TBS camera also recorded Zhou Xiao's waking up from a dream and delaying his appearance and put it on the big screen and broadcast, which caused a kind laugh from the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

And the members who took to the stage at this moment finally reacted, and they realized that what they won was the top award in Japan once a year, and it was an award that all singing artists dream of!

"I finally won this award five years after my debut, what do you think about Minami Takahashi?" The moderator pointed the microphone at Minami Takahashi.

"Although it took five years of debut to win this award. But to be honest, we didn't have a real sense of it yet, and we didn't realize that we were going to win this award this year...... I'm going to...... Eh...... I'm going to ......," Takahashi Minami was clearly not ready.

The record award is very special, the highest award is awarded at the end, standing on the stage and watching the girls dancing around but not knowing what to say, Zhou Xiao estimates that the end credits are already playing on TV now, but he doesn't mean to help make amends, they are just a group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, and it's normal to panic.

Although unexpected, even a little dissatisfied. But to say that Zhou Xiao's heart must also be happy, looking at the elated appearance of the girls around him, such a group of girls in their previous lives who obviously thought they might get it but ended up facing disappointment, hugging each other and crying sadly in the background.

Cheerful atmosphere. This year's record awards are over, and Zhou Xiao, who stepped down, first found Hiro.

"I'm sorry, but this year I snatched the prize that should have belonged to you." Zhou Xiao said.

"Don't say that, AKB deserves this award this year." Hiro quickly sorted out his mood and said.

"Is there one? I think it's better to let them wait another year......," Zhou Xiao said.

"Don't think I'm losing to you. We lost to AKB instead of you, and their table from the beginning of this year to the end of the year was really good. Hiro understood the meaning of Zhou Xiao's facial expression.

"I know." Zhou Xiaodao said that his mood was contradictory. He is not only happy with the members' awards, but also a little afraid that this year's award will make them complacent, and it is always good to have more twists and turns in his opinion.

"I'm going to tell them that we EXILE won't give up, and next year's award will definitely be ours!" Hiro said.

"I will, you are the biggest opponents!" Zhou Xiaodao.

After returning to the lounge with the girls, Zhou Xiao said the same thing again.

"Congratulations on winning the award, but don't be too complacent, you still have a long way to go, there are many thorns and challenges on the road, a championship is just the beginning, I hope that today next year, today the year after next, we can still stand here to celebrate!"

"Yes!" The excited girls shouted.

"Okay, it's not too early, disband, don't forget tomorrow's Red and White Song Party!" Zhou Xiaodao.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, goodbye!" The girls greeted Zhou Xiao and began to pack up their things and leave.

And among them, the only person who is slightly different is Ami Sato, when he was packing up with everyone, he received a text message, after watching it for a long time, she was a little distracted and slowly packed up her things, and then slowly said goodbye to the members, and came out of the TBS studio with a mask alone, and did not call a taxi, just walked silently on the road.

After walking for nearly ten minutes and turning several corners, the girl turned again and got into a black car parked on the side of the road.

The car started silently, and in a flash, it was drowned in the rolling traffic of Tokyo at the end of the year.

With the addition of Yami Cai, there were only two people in the car, and without saying anything all the way, the car drove for about half an hour before finally reaching their destination.

Putting on a hat and mask, Zhou Xiao got out of the car and opened the door for the girl.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, where are you going to take me?" The girl looked at the unfamiliar place with some trepidation, to say that Zhou Xiao and the girls of AKB have really established a very enviable relationship of trust, in this case, the girl was brought to a strange place, and the other party didn't have any resistance along the way, just asked when he got out of the car.

"Come with me, in short, I won't hurt you." Zhou Xiao walked into a restaurant with the girl.

When she opened the door and entered the house, she found that there was no one in the restaurant at this time.

Zhou Xiao turned on the lights in the restaurant. The whole restaurant is very simple, a bar, three or four tables, the decoration is elegant and warm. Such restaurants are everywhere in Tokyo, and many of them are even decades or even centuries old.

"The original owner of this restaurant has emigrated, and before leaving, he wanted to sell the restaurant, so I bought it, the chef of the restaurant has been here for decades, and the waiters are also very honest and sensible...... If you think it's good, come and stay here. Zhou Xiao said. (To be continued......)
