For Ono, Zhou Xiao finally did not choose to let her debut with the original members of the corridor team other than Mayu Watanabe.
In fact, after the idol group became popular, the establishment of the detachment and the solo debut of the members were very important means of making money, and for the members, this kind of squad and solo will also be a very important opportunity for them to make money.
You know, a group like AKB, even if it is a song selection group, even when AKB's singles are selling the hottest, the members don't have even a single yuan of royalties to take, but this is also understandable, the investment in operating an idol group is very large, especially a super group like AKB is even more outrageous, with Japanese rules, singers are already at a relatively low level in the songs, and the money they get is far less than that of songwriters and even publishers and production companies. So it's normal for the idol to directly take out a share of the participating members.
The single of the big group is taken out of the singer's part, and the single of the small group will not, 1300 yen single, a single usually takes out 26 yuan to 39 yuan to the singer, although it is not much, but 10,000 singles will have more than 260,000 yuan, even if three people divide each person has more than 80,000, and not only these, the income related to copyright, single sales will always be only part of it, if the copyright funds are divided, the application of works on various occasions is also in it, This money is about equal to the proceeds from the sale of copyrights.
Like AKB's most popular team, notyet, Itano Tomomi's solo or something, the sales volume is about 200,000, and one of the team members can share millions of yuan in copyright fees alone, which can be regarded as a single that can get a year's income for ordinary people.
But. The formation of the squad is also very knowledgeable.,Like Mayou's corridor team.,It's an obvious Lori girl.,High school uniform route.,Since you want to take such a route.,It's impossible to find girls who are too adult-like, such as Yuko Oshima and Yona Kojima.。
And Ono didn't form a new corridor team with the members of the original corridor team, Zhou Xiao's reason was that the old corridor team was originally a combination based on the third phase of students, and Ono used to be the center of the third phase of the second phase of the students, if it was a member with a better personality, it was okay, but among these members, there were girls like Tada Aika who were very unwilling to admit defeat when they were young. Tada may admit defeat to Mayu Watanabe, but if it is Ono who has not been pushed much at the beginning, Zhou Xiao is very worried that Tada will resist the other party more, not only resistance, but he is even worried that Tada will unite with other third-term students to fight against Ono, Zhou Xiao is not afraid of this kind of confrontation, he is afraid that the rift between the members themselves will expand to the group and even the team.
Another reason why Zhou Xiao did not choose Ono to enter the new corridor team is that Ono himself is not particularly in line with the role positioning of Lori high school students, and Ono actually has a rather cute childish appearance. But her figure is too plump, and nicebody's Cheng dù is quite strong in AKB, and not only that, but Ono's own character. In fact, she is not the kind of outright soft girl girl, her personality is actually closer to the Japanese pop circle, such as Shibuya, Harajuku and the like. It's not as young and shy as it looks on the outside.
The last point is that Ono is different from Mayu Watanabe, and the reason why Mayu has received so much support in the AKB. The tenacity to go to the end with the "orthodox idol school", which is no longer bought by people in the 21st century, is also very important, but Ono, a girl, can't do this.
She withdrew in 2010 when AKB was as hot as cooking oil, so she is far inferior to Mayou or other AKB's TOP in Zhou Xiao's opinion.
This is her nature, Zhou Xiao has no intention of criticizing, it is precisely because she is not so good that Zhou Xiao has put more thought into her, carefully managing her career in the entertainment industry, supporting her, and encouraging her, so that she can have the ability to catch up with the popular TOP such as Mayou.
Since she didn't give her the team, Zhou Xiao decided to give her the opportunity to SOLO directly, and didn't want to give Ono the opportunity to come too late, because in the previous life, Ono would announce his graduation in the second half of 2010, Zhou Xiao estimated that at the beginning of 2010, the company that wanted to poach Ono was already contacting her, this behavior, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, in fact, the company would never think that Ono really had anything to cultivate, Ono's potential, many professionals can see that it is not big, and even a little far away from Mai Oshima, poaching her, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, is more like disgusting the operation of AKB......
So, this time "Legalhigh" is a great opportunity.
Before Ono graduated in his previous life, Zhou Xiao almost didn't know that her singing was actually quite good, it was when she heard the girl's first single after Ono graduated for a period of time and then came back, Zhou Xiao found that this girl had a good voice and singing ability, and her singing voice was not the same as the soft girl in the AKB period, like the soft girl voice of "firstlove", but a somewhat magnetic and powerful voice.
Zhou Xiao has always felt that if a person wants to work hard in the entertainment industry, it is not possible to rely on acting skills, that's right, Ono is good at AKB, and it is not good at all when he is out of AKB, but Zhou Xiao doesn't think it's because she exposed her true side, Ono failed to become popular after leaving the AKB circle, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, in addition to ability, she is no longer treated by her own food is also one of the reasons, which is also normal, falling in love, lying, quitting the group, she has done almost all the things that are taboo in the meal, If there is still a crazy infatuation on her, then she is not at the level she is now.
Based on so many reasons, Zhou Xiao finally made the decision to let Ono solo.
This will be AKB48's first solo (Megumi Ohbori's solo didn't happen because of the move to A&E), in nature, this solo has a bit of a sense of testing the market, but for Zhou Xiao, the purpose of keeping Ono is obviously more important.
Ono's solo decision was finally announced at the K performance a few days later.
At least in AKB circles, this news can be regarded as causing quite a stir.
For group idols, the solo debut can be said to be the ultimate goal of the members, and the solo debut is of course popular or not. The very real problem of whether to sell or not to sell out, but for most of the members, being able to debut alone is already a realization of a very important dream of theirs, and they will not regret it even if they can't sell much.
Ono's solo, it is impossible to say that all the members can sincerely bless without any jealousy.
Especially those members who are more popular than her are especially jealous, and several people in the first period of life have even talked to each other, obviously Zhou Xiao's brother is so happy to take them to Hawaii for a vacation, but after coming back, he changed his face and gave a member who was not qualified to enter the top ten solo debut opportunity is simply ...... They may even feel ashamed. They felt that because they only cared about their own happiness and ignored Brother Zhou Xiao in those few days, they made Brother Zhou Xiao dissatisfied, so they made the decision to let Ono, a 12-person solo debut, after coming back.
The biggest reaction was Yuko Oshima, the well-deserved center of Group K, who lost to Maeda in the overall AKB election, but now he lost to a girl who is several years younger than herself in the team competition, and made this decision. is still Zhou Xiao, a man who has that kind of relationship with him, it is impossible for Yuko Oshima not to care.
For several days, although he still did what he had to do in public, he could get along with Zhou Xiao in private. The girl ignored him as if she was angry.
Zhou Xiao actually didn't have much sense of loss in her heart, because her positioning of Yuko Oshima was far higher than Ono's, so Yuko Oshima's solo was even if it was out when AKB was the hottest and not now. But Yuko Oshima didn't know this herself, so although Zhou Xiao didn't care too much about the girl's anger, he also chatted with her seriously. Even if the girl is still angry, at least let her understand what she thinks.
In addition to Yuko Oshima, the resistance of the first term is not low,
But if you care about these, you can't do anything, so Zhou Xiao didn't even explain much to the members of the first semester.
Another reason why Zhou Xiao didn't explain this is that the AKB members themselves are also very busy, and two weeks after the senior members return from Hawaii, the first major summer festival of AKB will begin.
This summer festival lasted for two days, and if you look at the time of previous concerts, it doesn't seem to be a long time, because the song ranking is four days and four shows, but this summer festival is still AKB's biggest event to date, because the two days of activities are from 7 am to 7 pm, a total of 12 hours, a total of 24 hours of non-stop activities over two days.
A few years later, the AKB summer festival,That's a legendary event supported by more than 200 people in the whole group.,Now AKB,The lineup of about 100 people is of course a monster-level storage zài compared to other combinations.,But it's still quite hard to support a total of 24 hours of activity for two days.,In addition to AKB rice,The vast majority of people who know only a few members such as Maeda Oshima.,This summer festival,The members themselves are not very attracted to ordinary rice.,And for AKB rice, It is also necessary to organize better activities to retain their attention and attention.
Zhou Xiao also paid attention to this aspect in the process of preparing for the new drama, many of the activities of the summer festival in the previous life were mentioned by him, and there was no real big set concert for this summer festival, because the concert will be held in the martial arts hall a month later, in addition to the concert, the karaoke conference is undoubtedly the highlight of the last live on the last day.
AKB in the previous life, what has always been quite uncomfortable for Zhou Xiao is that AKB itself is not friendly to members who sing well, and Iwasa Misaki should be one of the best singing members of AKB in her previous life, even if she is only able to get the opportunity to debut by virtue of her singing position, as for other members who sing well, it is difficult to get a chance to be out of position by singing alone.
This...... Actually, it's not surprising.
The members of AKB who sing well, Masuda Yuka and Iwasa Misaki were the most famous in the early days, in addition to the two of them, Takahashi Minami, Akimoto Saika and others are standard not to rely on singing to win, Ami Sato, Yona Kojima and Erina Ono are actually good, and after the ninth period. People like Yuka Tano, Miyu Takeuchi, and Natori Akana also have considerable singing ability.
But...... Never forget what kind of organization AKB is, most of the members recruited by AKB are eliminated from the official entertainment industry, and the so-called excellent singing of these members is compared to other members who can sing at the level of car accidents when singing.
Moreover, what is the essence of mature entertainment industry? The essence of the mature entertainment industry is to win with talent, is singing considered talent? For example, the singing part is actually the final part of the production. Modern people, especially Chinese, know this best, those who make a lot of money are always the people who design and develop products, as for the people who finally produce the works and assemble them, in fact, they always earn a little money, and only the immature entertainment industry will provide a higher star identity than the creator, so to speak. Celebrities and creators, compared with companies, are always weak and small.
As for examples in the Japanese entertainment industry? Ayumi Hamasaki is very strong, but Ayumi Hamasaki's song. Most of them are written by herself, and she has a good enough relationship with her boss that is what makes her a superstar.
Another example is Masaharu Fukuyama, who is indeed very handsome. The singing is also very good, but the few songs he really sang were all written by himself, as for B'z. The stars of the southern sky, Nishikawa Guijiao or something, are all examples of standard people who can become superstars even if they are so ugly, it is always talent that helps them succeed, and the mature entertainment industry always looks at talent, not face, and even the requirements for singing skills are not particularly high.
This is also the reason why there are few programs such as The Voice in the Japanese entertainment industry that are very successful, because in essence, the Japanese entertainment industry will not think that people with good singing skills can represent a qiē, they will praise and worship, but if they are simply singing, then these people can only be regarded as craftsmen after all.
From this point of view, the member of AKB who sings well, Zhou Xiao's most admired is the first-term student Hoshino Michiru who has graduated, this is an artist who can really write songs, in addition to her, SKE's eldest sister Miyako Sato is also one.
Karaoke conference,It is a very important flag arranged by Zhou Xiao in the summer festival,The difference from the summer festival in the previous life is that this summer festival,And all the summer festivals that AKB will hold in the next few years,It will not just let the members come to play,Of course, there will be members who come to play casually,But Zhou Xiao will also give rewards to members who sing better,This reward may not be an opportunity for solo debut,It may be a music show,It may also be the appearance of some stage plays,In short, This will be a chance for members who sing well to shine, and to be honest, there are not many such opportunities in AKB.
In addition, the reason why I want to withdraw from the karaoke conference is also because Zhou Xiao wants to launch a person here, and this person is Aya Yamamoto, who has just become an eighth-term student.
Yamamoto Aya is actually an idol who is not very close to AKB's style, AKB's idols, especially those graduate students, have more of an "unfinished" feeling, but Yamamoto Aya has gone through many years of professional artist training before entering AKB, she entered AKB, in fact, it is quite a bit of an art investment teacher, even among the five students who are considered to be the highest quality in the past generations, Yamamoto Aya is also quite a brilliant one.
In this way, his biggest weapon should be his singing skills, he is a girl with a high level of singing ability.
It stands to reason that Zhou Xiao should slowly cultivate her like she usually treats other members, so that the girl can have a better growth space and will not face too much pressure.
But there is one thing that Zhou Xiao wants to do very much, and this matter, Yamamoto Aya is a very important part of his plan, so Zhou Xiao has no choice but to directly launch Yamamoto Acai and let her grow as quickly as possible, only in this way can she be worthy of Zhou Xiao's big plan and catch up with the fiery success that began in AKB2010.
Aya Yamamoto's singing skills are quite good, although it doesn't sound as impressive as Masuda Yuka, and her voice is not particularly beautiful, but her perennial training has made her better at steady dìng Cheng dù, and a link to show her singing skills will make her quickly attract the attention of AKB rice.
In addition to the karaoke conference, a variety of top members' separate live, a variety of small links and games have also been arranged, after arranging these things, Zhou Xiao's operation here found that nearly a hundred AKB members are a little stretched thin, if the members all come out, 100 people is of course a big number, but two days 24 hours of large-scale activities, and it is almost every moment of the situation of activities, it is impossible for all members to be, according to operational estimates, At the same time, the number of AKB members is a little stretched due to the fact that there are 5 members participating in each activity, and 4 activities are carried out at the same time, that is, 20 members participate.
Not only the stage activities, but also many members will go down to get in touch with the rice bowlers, for example, the sale of singer merchandise is a very important job, and this work will probably be handed over to the graduate students of AKB and SKE.
