Chapter 338: One Meter Forty-Eight

At the end of March 2oo5, the broadcast of Zhou Xiaokao's university program made the Japanese entertainment industry boil again, Zhou Xiao was not admitted to Keio's environmental information science but was directly admitted to the Department of Literature, as a famous artist who has published several novels, after hard work, he was admitted to the Department of Literature of a famous university again, this miraculous ability makes people speechless, including Sakurai Xiang, many so-called high-quality artists who also have good academic qualifications said: "Don't say what kind of high-quality artist I am in the future, in front of Zhou Xiao, Even the only academic advantage we once had is gone, and there is no one in the entertainment industry who can compare with this guy. ”

From the end of March to the beginning of April, it is the time of spring break for Japanese students, and by the beginning of April, Zhou Xiao will become a fresh freshman in the literature department of Keio University, but Zhou Xiao has no time to feel the colorful freshman life of Luoying, and in the only two weeks of spring break, he still has to do another big thing is the first talent audition of AZX.

In Tokyo, there are many kinds of auditions for entertainment companies, and every year there are a variety of auditions, and even in some magazines, there is a special page for the selection of major companies.

Of course,The selection is also three, six, nine, etc.,Sony,Ai Hui,Ho day pro,AMU,The selection of the star level company is in the spotlight every year,Each selection will receive three to fifty thousand applicants,Under the first level,There are also various offices including the burning department,H! P's parent company, Up-Front's series of firms, Ganli, Toho Arts Department and other firms are selected, as for the various statements below this, it is said that it is third-rate, but in fact, each may have one or two well-known artists selected by the firm, and it is even more numerous.

(The burning system is very powerful, if you count the burning system alone, it is indeed the first gear, but here is the company's own selection, not the second rank.) )

Zhou Xiao's AZX as a freshman firm. In terms of background, it is naturally not as good as other firms, but the company's vitality and capital flow are very good in the firm, and AZX is different from other firms, other firms are basically just simple variety show firms, while AZX takes into account music production, film and television production and other things, and is the company that relies the least on music, film and television production in the Japanese entertainment industry.

If such an azx is going to hold a selection, its appeal can barely be ranked at the bottom of the second gear in the Japanese entertainment circle, even if Zhou Xiao's appeal is added, it can be ranked up by half a grade at most.

At the end of last year. The news of AZX's selection has been revealed through various media, and in O5, from the beginning of the year to the present, there have been various campaign activities for about three months, and the day after Zhou Xiao's exam, the staff of AZX had already sent the materials for participating in the selection to Zhou Xiao.

This first selection of AZX is very different from the selection of other companies in the industry, and the most obvious difference is that there is no fixed submission model for AZX's selection, and the company will not ask you to submit beautiful photos or cover songs with good sounds. or self-directed and self-starred cross talk videos, the company's requirement is that there is no requirement, as long as you have any stunts that you feel can survive in the entertainment industry, you can show the relevant to azx. As long as you have a copy of your own personal written information in addition to these things, you can be reviewed by AZX.

Such selection requirements are compared to those of other companies. There are only three words to describe it, and that is...... Unreliable.

But what Zhou Xiao did was not wrong, because he had an advantage first. This must be waved out.

Seventeen thousand submissions of all kinds, full of whimsical ideas, occupy almost the entire AZX company, and the company's employees have been working for days on end to sort the submissions.

Singing, acting, beautiful or confident enough to only take photos, as well as all kinds of video materials, reliable and unreliable, and even some scary or obscene, all kinds of submissions left more than 8,000 after the initial identification, so many submissions, all need to be reviewed by Zhou Xiao personally.

Among the more than 8,000 submissions, all kinds of photos are definitely the easiest to distinguish between good and bad, and in addition to these, there are many more things that take a lot of time to read. However, the relevant information of these contributions, including names, ages, photos of the contributors, etc., have been sorted out separately, Zhou Xiao will read this first, find out the people who have an impression in his mind, and then look at other related things.

This initial screening, more than 8,000 submissions, made Zhou Xiao want to die, but among these, there are only ten people who were really found out by Zhou Xiao and impressed, and among these, it is very happy that there is really the person he is looking forward to.

Kanako Nishino, born in 1989, sixteen years old, born in Mie County, came with the information, as well as a self-recorded singing audio, the song was chosen, and it was the song that Zhou Xiao cooperated with fans of N fans.

Oh yes, in addition to these, there is a frontal photo of the girl, only...... This dark-skinned girl, who looks like a Shibuya system, with a rebellious face on her face, can't help but make Zhou Xiao sigh, the entertainment industry can indeed change a person, at least a person's appearance.

Seeing Kana Nishino's information made Zhou Xiao wave his hand excitedly, although the audition has not yet been held, but she has become the first place in Zhou Xiao's heart, this can be said to be the only successful female singer after the singer era Just like the speed of the nineties, the good morning girl group of the 2ooo era is the last glory and epitome of the era like an idol, and a few years later, although the singer is no longer brilliant, as the only one left to make a lot of money, she can not only help the company make a lot of money, It can also be said that the singers have the only face in the end.

In addition to Kana Nishino, there are many other people who are familiar names that Zhou Xiao has seen or heard.

Like what...... Takahashi Minami.

A joke that later generations of Takahashi Minami said countless times is that she was once eliminated by Yasushi Akimoto, who was a judge at the time, in the selection of other companies. In fact...... What is this selection that Minami Takahashi participated in? In fact, there are many such girls in AKB, and they have been defeated again and again, and finally succeeded.

Minami Takahashi, a girl who looks a bit like a bad girl now, is almost indispensable in AKB, not because of her steady singing voice, nor because of her MC hosting, her hard work, and her sincerity. It's the most essential thing in AKB.

Now, Yasu Akimoto has not eliminated her in the HO day PRO audition, but Zhou Xiao is not ready to put her in the first AKB audition, Zhou Xiao decided that as long as she comes to participate in the audition, she will be secretly notified not to appear at the selection site, but the company privately asked her to sign a contract and directly determined that she was shortlisted for AKB.

It is indeed very likely that Yasu Akimoto will still eliminate her in the future, and it is also very likely that she will still not have any signing when the AKB selection begins, but Zhou Xiao will never want to take any risks. Because Takahashi Minami is too important to AKB, so important that Zhou Xiao can't wait to sign a contract with her immediately.

In addition to Takahashi Minami, of course, there are other names that Zhou Xiao knows.

Asami Oe, a first-term student of AKB, now, she has entered Zhou Xiao's sight one step ahead.

Masashi Motegi, it seems that he is engaged in some kind of tea ceremony, and Zhou Xiao only has a very vague memory.

Nana Ozaki, a very famous photo idol on the Chinese Internet ten years later, is now 22 years old but still seems to be an amateur. Merely...... Turning out the photo of Nana Ozaki Zhou Xiao was silent for a while, this Nana Ozaki now is not as cute and beautiful as Nana Ozaki eight or even ten years later, and now this ...... He looks like an ordinary person.

And...... Megumi Ohhori.

As a 2nd term student. Although Megumi Ohbori only officially entered the sight of AKB in 2oo6, her experience can be regarded as an iconic representative of Tokyo's determination to aspire to the entertainment industry.

When Megumi Ohori was a sophomore in high school, he became a reader model for the magazine "My Forced Rthday" for adolescent teenagers and girls.,So it's also considered to be a showbiz.,But this reader model......

Among the models of Japanese magazines. There is a difference between exclusive models and reader models, and exclusive models are professional models who have signed a contract with a magazine and have a fixed income. As for the reader model...... The literal meaning is the model selected from the readers, such a so-called model, in essence, is just a reader, not only the income is much worse than the exclusive model, the magazine actually does not pay attention to these people at all, and there is no fixed contract, it can be said that the reader model or something, is not a person in the entertainment industry at all, at most it is just a margin.

What a marginal reader model brought to Megumi Ohori was a false illusion that seemed to have entered the entertainment industry, so this was still very naïve and fell in.

After graduating from high school, Megumi Ohori officially went to Beijing to enter the entertainment industry. It was 2oo1, an era that still had the old fashion, and then ...... It's been four years.

A young woman with few skills dreams of the entertainment industry, while working, while carrying out so-called artistic activities, what kind of days are the past four years, watching people younger than herself become famous, watching opportunities slip away from her hands again and again, the money earned every month can only barely maintain her own life, her dreams are getting farther and farther away, she is getting older and older, and when she wakes up every morning, all she thinks about is whether to simply go back to her hometown to inherit the family business......

Hopeless? Perhaps a reality that she has long admitted in her heart is that the so-called reader model is not hope at all.

There are thousands of boys and girls like this in Tokyo, and perhaps it is because of them at the bottom that there will be those high-ranking stars.

In addition to these, what makes Zhou Xiao very happy and troublesome is that there are really many people who come to them for various applications.

Funny artists whose level is so bad that they can't laugh at all, can't even remember who they imitated after watching it, and there are a large number of videos or audios that can't even be understood from the beginning to the end, Zhou Xiaogang only watched a dozen of them, and he felt like he was going crazy, but he had thousands of similar things to watch!

What else can I do, this selection method was chosen by himself, and now that everything is in his hands, he can only bite the bullet.

Look, look, one day and two days, after watching it for three days in a row, Zhou Xiao finally finished reading thousands of video submissions, in addition to some good works, it really made Zhou Xiao find someone who will be famous in the future.

It's just that when she handed over this person's information to AZX, everyone who saw it couldn't believe it.

"Boss, do you really want to choose her?" Almost everyone asks a rhetorical question when they see it.

"I just think it's quite distinctive, and I haven't decided yet, so I asked you to find out if there is any information and news about her." Zhou Xiao didn't dare to say that this person signed it himself, so he had to say so.

It's no wonder that the crowd of azx is unacceptable, this woman picked out by Zhou Xiao. The waist circumference may be a little more than the height, looking at this body type, I can't feel the slightest taste of stardom, and she is embarrassed to give AZX her own performance. Speaking of her performance, this woman seems to be a partner with another slightly thinner woman, and the two of them performed a skit together, but no one can see what is interesting about this skit, this kind of person...... How can it be popular?

But what they don't know and what Zhou Xiao knows is that after this woman broke up with her current partner, she successfully became popular by relying on self-deprecation and funny imitation. And he has become a regular star in many groups such as "It's Okay to Laugh", and it can be said that he is the most popular fat man in Japan in 2o13.

And this person's name is...... Naomi Watanabe!

This woman who later appeared in the pika milk theorem, and the role of the beautiful white bird of Tong Guò Shiratori has received a lot of attention, and has been "crazy" by countless handsome men, is now only 18 years old, of course, this beauty is only reflected in her age, but as a famous harlequin who will become popular all over Japan in the future, she still has a very great talent and the possibility of becoming popular.

Ultimately. The number of secondary selections set by Zhou Xiao and others in the company is 3o, and compared with the number of 17,000 applicants, there is a multiplier gap of more than 500 in this secondary selection.

And among these people, of course, all the people Zhou Xiao knew in later generations were selected. Zhou Xiao was not interested in recruiting them into AZX now, but for these people who participated in the first selection of AZX, Zhou Xiao felt that it was necessary to encourage them, lest these people lose hope instead. Give up the audition of the next idol group.

Of course, among these people, like Nana Ozaki, is now 23 years old. This age is considered an advanced age even among famous idol groups, so even if this woman participates in the selection of AKB later, I am afraid that she is not destined to go to the best time with the group.

"If she does join AKB, if she can follow AKB far enough, I will have no problem pulling her when she is about 30 years old." Looking at Nana Ozaki on the list, Zhou Xiao thought.

3o A week later, all sorts of people who were selected gathered at the venue chosen by AZX specifically for the audition, and began the audition that they may not know how many times in their lives, so to speak, compared to Kana Nishino, who succeeded in one audition, and it was one in forty thousand, they were all complete failures, but on the other hand, they should be considered to be able to survive by Zhou Xiao, who had experienced a previous life, so compared to those who worked hard for an unknown number of years Zhou Xiao but didn't know at all, They turned out to be successful people.

"Boss, she's coming." Half an hour before the selection began, someone from the company who was guarding outside called Zhou Xiao and said.

"Coming? Let her go straight to the prepared office and wait. Zhou Xiao said.

The person who is waiting is naturally Takahashi Minami.

Zhou Xiao instructed the selected people to help him watch first, and he set off to the place in the south of Gaoqiao.

Takahashi Minami thought it was strange that she came here to participate in the audition, but she didn't expect that the people at AZX didn't let her participate in the audition at all, but took her directly to an office and asked her to wait.

"Why is this happening? What am I waiting here for? Got a crush on me? Want unspoken rules for me? Takahashi's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

"If there is an uncle who wants to uncover me, should I agree? How do you say no? If Zhou Xiao wants to uncover me, what should I do? ”

In fact, she really thought too much, and Zhou Xiao had no unspoken rules of interest in her at all.

After waiting for a few minutes, the people in the office were finally pushed open, and the person who came in was the person Takahashi Minami was looking forward to the most.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao!" She jerked to her feet, her nervous voice shaking.

"So small! Hahaha! In his previous life, as a dead otaku living at the junction of urban and rural areas in Beijing, Zhou Xiao certainly didn't have the money to go to Japan to participate in the handshake, so he had never seen this girl who was only 1.48 meters, in this life, he had a tall height of more than 1.8 meters, and he had developed his very good personal demeanor in the entertainment industry all the year round, plus Zhou Xiao was too familiar with this woman, so he shouted out this sentence that sounded a little inappropriate without much consideration.

"Huh? Huh!? Takahashi Minami didn't react for a while, why did he come up and despise himself.

"Ah, I mean hello Minami Takahashi." Zhou Xiao said.

"Uh...... Mr. Zhou Xiao, do you know me? The girl asked hesitantly.

"No, it's the first time I've seen you, but you're ...... now It's really like a gangster, and it can't be like this in the future. Kindness...... There are some things I won't beat around the bush, Minami Takahashi, would you like to join us AZX? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Eh, eh, !!???eh, The girl's whole body was messy. (To be continued......)
