Chapter 616: From Yasu Akimoto to Zuckerberg
"Who are we looking for in the second Ice Bucket Challenge?" Of course, this question does not need to be answered by the audience, and Zhou Xiao on TV quickly made his own choice.
After a group of people waited for a while, a staff member shouted, "Here we come!" β
Zhou Xiao went over with the camera and secretly photographed the man who was following some other staff members in the corner......
Yasu Akimoto.
"Just choose him! Pick him for the second Ice Bucket Challenge! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Zhou Xiao couldn't help but laugh after saying his choice to the camera, Yasu Akimoto in his previous life, he did it after most people did the ice bucket challenge, to be honest, it was not a new thing to do the challenge at that time, but a task, even if he took the center Watanabe Mayu to do it, it was just a step-by-step network news at best, only in the current situation, the first few people who made the world did the ice bucket challenge, it is really big news.
The more Akimoto Yasushi has such a high status, is usually meticulous, and the more well-organized his personal image is the news.
This is known from the table of the audience in front of the TV, most of them have grown their mouths, they really didn't expect that Zhou Xiao would "attack" Qiu Yuanyasu.
And industry insiders slapped their thighs after seeing Qiu Yuanyasu appear! For industry insiders, it is a matter of course to invite as many funny artists as possible to do this kind of high-profile prime-time special program, but the news that came out in advance was that Zhou Xiao almost did not invite any funny artists in this show, which was simply a move that broke the tradition and attracted a lot of speculation.
One thing people care about is that without a comedy artist, how can a show be interesting?
Now, Zhou Xiao has given the answer.
He played a game that ordinary people can do, but the higher the status, the more fun it is to do. The more interested you are in this event!
This event ...... Ordinary people may play for 5 points, and funny artists may play for 10 points, but people with high status and a perfect image usually play with a perfect image, but they have a value of 100 points! Even if a comedian artist can have a 100% reaction skill when he is drenched in an ice bucket, there will be no surprise to the audience! Because their profession is to do this, only those with high status to do this can really become a good show!
What's more, Zhou Xiao's "Ice Bucket Challenge" is also dressed in the skin of charity!
For successful people of high status. A Zhou Xiao's invitation can't make this event popular, what really makes the event popular, and may even cause popularity, is the word charity! Combine your own program with charity, with celebrities, and with pop, the future of this event ...... It's exciting!
On TV, Zhou Xiao began to act.
With the video of Yasushi Akimoto this time. Obviously, it was not the same day as Aoi Miyazaki, and he and Rola did not participate in this recording, only Zhou Xiao was alone with the program team.
Yasu Akimoto came from a distance, beside him. It was followed by about six or seven other staff members.
Seeing Qiu Yuankang coming over, Zhou Xiao ran over with someone.
The sudden appearance of Zhou Xiao startled Yasu Akimoto, but as a variety show producer, his ability is not comparable to Aoi Miyazaki.
"What's wrong? Zhou Xiao? Why did you come here all of a sudden? AKB is going to be disbanded? Akimoto asked exaggeratedly.
Yasu Akimoto's words are ruthless enough. If Zhou Xiao replied: "Why are you disbanding now that you are so popular" or something like that, then Akimoto Yasusu can continue to speak, so as to master the rhythm of the entire conversation. However, Zhou Xiao didn't give it for nothing, after being shot head-on as soon as he came out, he also reacted quickly and said: "Yes, according to the current rhythm, it's actually a bit of a loss if you don't make money, it's not okay to go on like this, I think you can consider letting Ling Qianjin join AKB, you see......"
"What are you kidding me!" Qiu Yuankang patted Zhou Xiao's head and said, his family, let alone a daughter, even his wife doesn't appear on the camera now, Zhou Xiao's words are also for him, if the relationship is not good, maybe Qiu Yuankang will be angry.
After a sentence, Zhou Xiao once again took back control of the chat, and he said: "Teacher Qiuyuan, this time we came to you, in fact, the main reason is ......"
Zhou Xiao explained the content of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
"So...... Is it fake to come here with me? Yasu Akimoto asked.
"That's right, I did it!" Zhou Xiao said with a wicked smile.
"So...... You're asking me to do the Ice Bucket Challenge? Akimoto Yasu was a little ridiculous.
"yes."
"This kind of thing should be done by professionals, right? For example, Uejima Ryubing-san, Izukawa Tetsuro-san and the like. Qiu Yuankang said, in fact, after Zhou Xiao explained a qiΔ, he understood what Zhou Xiao meant, this kind of challenge, let the two people he cite, it can only bring some smiles to the audience, the real goal can never be achieved, it is useless for Zhou Xiao's show.
That's why he knowingly asked, this sentence can help Zhou Xiao point out the purpose and role of the whole show.
Zhou Xiao glanced at Yasu Akimoto, and after passing on a thank you that only they could understand, he began to explain his purpose to Aoi Miyazaki in more detail than before, and after explaining, he asked: "Mr. Akimoto, you must be very loving, so, this challenge, you will do it, right?" β
"It's all this time, I'm going to say that I can't do it......" Akimoto Yasusu said helplessly.
So similar to the situation with Aoi Miyazaki just now, the two came out of the place where they met, and instead of looking for a pool, they completed the challenge directly in an outdoor parking lot.
Akimoto Yasu's challenge, of course, Zhou Xiao couldn't be done half threatening and half forced like Miyazaki Aoi, Akimoto Yasu finally poured water on his head by himself, and at Zhou Xiao's request, he also did not change his clothes, and completed his challenge with a beautiful suit, and even did not take off the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
In Zhou Xiao's opinion, it's fun to do this, otherwise it would not be convincing to change into a disguise and come over to water.
After Yasushi Akimoto, the whole show sped up the pace.
In this first part of Zhou Xiao's show, Aoi Miyazaki's ice bucket challenge is a highlight, while Zhou Xiao and Akimoto Yasu's two challenges can only be regarded as a knot, although the challenges of the two are also very good. But what really made the audience close their mouths next was the challengers that Zhou Xiao found next.
And after Yasushi Akimoto's ice bucket challenge ended, the name of the entire show finally lifted its mystery.
"Zhou Xiaojia AKB's flash mob trip with everyone!"
Because it is incomparably close to the previous "Flash Trip", this show still chooses a similar name, but the things in the name title are also quite informative, AKB, and "everyone", this everyone will definitely not refer to AKB anymore, so who does this everyone refer to? Is it an ordinary person? Or other entertainers?
Many people in the industry couldn't help but sit up straight after seeing this name. Because what they saw was not only Zhou Xiao's personal title show, but also a brand new ...... Announce the show!
The appeal of prime-time programs is undoubted, TV dramas and variety shows in the new season, new movies invested by TV stations and film companies, etc., will very much hope to have such a way of publicity, and a prime-time variety show, Xuanfan is a must-do, just like the food king of the tunnel duo, the cooking link of SMAPXSMAP. 99's food injustices and the like are all very conventional publicity methods, and even some propaganda will directly use the artist's program itself. For example, michaike in 99.
Zhou Xiao's show looks like the same, the flash mob journey with everyone, maybe it will be with Xuanfan artists, and then the actors and actresses. Male singers and female singers suddenly appeared somewhere to make a flash mob, causing onlookers and surprises from ordinary people......
Come to think of it. Many people nodded, Zhou Xiao's choice is extremely correct, with his own energy, he can actually refuse Xuanfan, but that's not a good thing, Xuanfan itself must be done, if you refuse, the Japanese TV side must make up for it from somewhere else, and for yourself, this is undoubtedly separating yourself from other artists, and taking 10,000 steps back and saying, even if you don't care about the relationship with other artists, those artists from AKB and AZX will always have to do publicity on variety shows in the future, right?
When the time comes, are you embarrassed not to even give people from your own company to the show?
Xuanfan is also very important, it can be said that if you can find a suitable, long-term, and people will not get tired of watching it for a few years or even more than ten years, then a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ is equivalent to you gaining a firm foothold in the prime file!
The name of a show can bring so many ideas to people.
After the name was released, the show continued.
After Yasusu Akimoto's ice bucket challenge ended, the speed of the show suddenly accelerated, and Zhou Xiao began to take people around to attack and pour ice buckets on many people, including the head of the company who has a good relationship with Zhou Xiao like LDH's HIRO, and big names in the entertainment industry such as President Yoshimoto Kogye, such big names are also very fun when they are pulled by Zhou Xiaoqiang to challenge the ice bucket, such as hiro, Zhou Xiao didn't even sue him before pouring him the ice bucket, After he finished his work, he went up with an ice bucket and came from head to toe for a while, and then he talked to Hiro, who was a little angry, about the process and purpose of the show.
After talking about the process of the show, Zhou Xiao even brought out another bucket of ice water and poured himself on the same body, which ended the part of Hiro.
In fact, as a hiro, I know very well that Zhou Xiao is not really angry when he is doing the show at this time, he is also an artist while he is the operator of the company, and he knows that Zhou Xiao is working.
But Zhou Xiao's purpose in doing this is to keep the audience from saying more to him and Hiro, the Japanese audience is very turtle hair, if Zhou Xiao doesn't pour himself once, maybe the Japanese audience will say that he is rude or Hiro is angry or something.
Hiro is followed by Yoshimoto Kogyo's president Osaki Hiroshi, this ice bucket challenge is different from the previous ones, Zhou Xiao contacted him, and only went to Osaka to shoot the show after getting his consent, the special thing about the filming in Osaka is that after Zhou Xiao and Osaki Yang's discussion, the whole program production process was created like a gangster negotiation, when Osaki Yang came to see Zhou Xiao, he brought several bodyguards in black clothes and black sunglasses, from him to the bodyguards, everyone was stern and unsmiling, It seems that he doesn't want to participate in Zhou Xiao's activities.
And Zhou Xiao, who wore a decent suit during so many previous shows, but this time he passed on a casual suit, which was too casual clothes, colorful beach pants, and a pink short-sleeved shirt. Coupled with a lot of strange edges and corners, and colorful framed sunglasses that protruded, Zhou Xiao took Osaki Yang's hand and said, "Osaki Yangsang, you're here!" I just flew back from Hawaii, Aroha! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The difference in the painting style between the two sides is too great, and the audience in front of the TV is really afraid that Osaki Yang will suddenly take out a submachine gun from his crotch and surprise Zhou Xiao!
But...... This is a show, and it is impossible for Osaki to really do this.
In fact, they are indeed inextricably linked to the local Yamaguchi-gumi in Osaka, but on TV, they still have to pursue a better and simpler image.
So, in the next second, the style of painting abruptly changed.
Osaki took off his glasses. Hooked shoulders with Zhou Xiao and started chatting, the face that looked cold just now like a gangster boss was full of smiles in an instant, with an incomparably infectious smile, and his face that seemed to be smiling in every wrinkle was transmitted, which made the atmosphere of the whole video instantly relaxed.
And the cold-looking bodyguards behind him were not idle, and in the close-up, these people were also relaxed at this time, and one of the bodyguards even got a popsicle out of nowhere. Sticking out his tongue and licking it again and again, the picture ...... If it's a girl to do it, it must be very YD.
After Zhou Xiao finished talking to Osaki about the content of the ice bucket challenge, he pretended not to know anything. In fact, Osaki Yoshi, who had studied his purpose for a long time, agreed without saying a word and really came to a challenge in front of the TV camera, in fact, his idea is also very good, Shimada Shinsuke, who had problems with Zhou Xiao back then, is now troubled by lawsuits and underworld rumors, and now he is coming to star in the show with Zhou Xiao. It represents a relaxed posture on both sides, not to mention that this ice bucket challenge is a thing that can greatly cultivate the company's image, and it can win more things for the company by pouring it. How could he possibly refuse.
The actors continued one by one, and in the TBS lounge, Zhou Xiao began to fiddle with his mobile phone, counting the advertisements, after 50 minutes of the show, Zhou Xiao finally completed his journey to find someone to do the ice bucket challenge.
Just when everyone thought that the show would enter the next part, Zhou Xiao suddenly appeared in front of everyone again.
He took out his mobile phone and said: "The Ice Bucket Challenge is a thing, if it is only broadcast on TV, if it is just me going to challenge some people next, then the show can be done, and the number of times it will be done without modification at all or only in a certain way, but this is not my intention, I still hope that everyone can try this challenge more and make this challenge popular throughout Japan and even the world, this is my purpose, so ......"
Zhou Xiao began to make the action of lowering his head and typing on his mobile phone, but it was obvious that Zhou Xiao in the video was just making a look, and Zhou Xiao, who had been typing for more than ten seconds, raised his head and said to the camera: "Next, I will invite a few people to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge on my Twitter, I hope these invited people can also continue the invitation to the Ice Bucket Challenge, donate or Ice Bucket Challenge?" I'm waiting for you! β
At the moment when this video was played, Zhou Xiao, who was following the show in the lounge, also pressed the send button on his mobile phone, and soon, his announcement of the Ice Bucket Challenge appeared on his tweet: "Ice Bucket Challenge, I have completed the Ice Bucket Challenge and donated $100 to the ALS Association, I hope the following Twitter users can also participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge project!" β
After this sentence, Zhou Xiao atted several people, and under careful selection, each of his AT was a very famous big man, including SoftBank's president Masayoshi Son, Twitter founder Evan Williams and skilled Mark Zuckerberg, among the three, Masayoshi Son was met by Zhou Xiao in Fukuoka, and the other two were met because of his identity as an investor.
In fact, it stands to reason that not to mention Zhou Xiao's identity and assets, even if someone with assets more than ten times greater than him, he can't say that he casually pulls these three people to do something to challenge.
But these three people are not stupid, after Zhou Xiao contacted them, they quickly figured out his idea and the meaning of doing so, and the three of them immediately realized that once this activity spreads all over the world, it will be of great help to everyone, especially to the companies of the latter two, and the huge publicity effect may attract the whole world to flock to it!
Especially in Zhou Xiao's description, they also have to admit that once this trend rises, Bill Gates, Obama or something may come to challenge once, and when the time comes, where will these challenge videos circulate, and it is not their social networking sites?
Therefore, after they figured it out, they quickly agreed to it.
This is the main reason why Zhou Xiao dared to invite the three of them so directly.
In addition to these three people, Zhou Xiao also ordered another person, this person...... is the most ordinary, one of his millions of Twitter followers!
In fact, this person, AZX has also been secretly looking for inside, this person is a fan of Zhou Xiao, male, free-spirited and enthusiastic, there are many, many good friends, and he has always been very enthusiastic about many things about Zhou Xiao. (To be continued......)
