Chapter 339: Watanabe .................. Naomi
Just like Zhou Xiao thought, Takahashi Nan did participate in countless selection interviews, and AZX this time was also one of her many interviews, Zhou Xiao's history, she still needed seven months to really find her home.
But this time, she didn't have to endure the torment of seven or eight months anymore, and Zhou Xiao finally allowed her to have the first firm in her life.
Takahashi Minami, who came out of the office, was in a trance, and now she had to go back to her mother to come to the company, so that she could complete the contract, because she was still young and had to have her parents there.
Walking in the corridor of the azx company, Takahashi Minami was a little in a trance, she wanted to go and see the girls who were waiting outside the room in the selection room, the girls who used to be the same as herself, now she has a different status from them, she is now a person who has signed a contract with AZX, strictly speaking, she is also an artist, and she has worked hard many times, although the process is very fantastical, but this time it is finally a success.
Zhou Xiao didn't care about Gao Qiao Nan, even if the girl was the most important person in AKB in the future, but everything she could do was done, Zhou Xiao couldn't still drive the girl home. After finalizing the contract with the girl, he went directly to the selection room, where there were thirty equally important people waiting for him.
"How's it going, how many have you done?" Zhou Xiao said after pushing the door in.
"It's waiting for you before it starts." Uncle Inoue said. The company's selection is not as large as the company's huge scale and may even have a TV broadcast of the selection activities, just arranged some camera recordings in the corner, and the smaller scale of the company is the judges this time, except for Zhou Xiao, everyone else is also a member of AZX, including Uncle Inoue, and Akira Kawakami, who switched to AZX from Xingchen before, and others.
Among them, Kawakami was originally the head of the biological unit, but then Zhou Xiao was not ready to let him do such unchallenging work. You must know that in Zhou Xiao's history, Kawakami brought out the peach grass, this time Zhou Xiao is going to let him directly contact the establishment of AKB, and now the selection, Kawakami is also involved in the whole process, and Zhou Xiao has seen the selection submissions, he actually watched them together.
"Then let's start and let them in one by one." Zhou Xiao said to the staff at the door.
There's not much to say about the real AZX interview, the girls come in one by one, or sing, or perform some other talent. In short, it is to try to attract the attention of a few judges, especially Zhou Xiao in the middle, they don't know that in fact, Zhou Xiao has already had a candidate for the championship.
After looking at a few, Kana Nishino finally came in.
It's also strange to say, there is a big difference between ordinary people and celebrities, this difference is usually called "aura", and the process of an ordinary person becoming a star is usually the process of cultivating this aura.
Look at the walk not far in front of you. An ordinary girl with a nervous face, except for her appearance, Zhou Xiao couldn't see any of the temperament of the singer Kana Nishino in later generations, and the people around Zhou Xiao were also very curious after seeing this girl. They all knew that this girl was a person that Zhou Xiao was very optimistic about, but everyone was very skeptical about what the girl could do.
"Everyone's early ...... Good morning, first meeting. My name is Kanako Nishino and I am 16 years old from Matsuzaka City, Mie Prefecture! The girl nervously introduced herself.
"Kanako Nishino, what is your dream of participating in our audition?" I've asked several times before. But every time Zhou Xiao felt that asking such a thing was really like some talent shows in later generations.
"I want to be a singer." Kana Nishino said.
"Singer? Are you here to sing today? Zhou Xiao asked.
"Yes!"
"Okay, choose a good song and you're good to go." Zhou Xiao stretched out his hand and motioned for Kana Nishino to stand at the karaoke machine that had been prepared on the side.
The music sounded, Kana Nishino sang the English theme song of the second-floor apartment sung by Zhou Xiaona by ange1aaki, and as soon as the girl's voice was remembered, Zhou Xiao could feel that the entire back of the other people around him immediately straightened.
This girl's voice is very good, and her singing skills are also good, although she can hear that she has not undergone any professional training, but this is also her advantage, and she can do it without any experience, and she has proven her excellence, and she is like a blank sheet of paper without training, which can make the company better cultivated.
As soon as she finished singing, Kana Nishino returned to the nervous expression she had when she first entered the room, she held the microphone with both hands and looked at Zhou Xiao with some apprehension.
"The performance is very good, your voice is very good, but you haven't undergone any training, if you come to our company, you may not be able to debut immediately, we will take a few years to train you, you have no problem with this, right?" Zhou Xiao asked. In fact, Kana Nishino was the same when she joined Sony, she was selected in 2oo5, and she didn't make her first single until 2oo8, from this point you can see how much money the company has to spend on cultivating a singer, after three years of training, Kana Nishino's debut single O list ranked 155th, and it will take a few years to climb to the position of a first-line singer.
And more importantly, a singer or artist cultivated by a company like Sony often does not only cultivate one, there are more, and the singers who spend almost the same amount of energy and resources to cultivate, but can't sell at all, are abandoned in the process, such as Kana Nishino, who was launched by Rhythmzone, the company where exi1e is located, in the second name of "Koda Laiwei", which is in a similar situation as Kana Nishino, and the first single sold less than 500 pieces, The highest O list is ranked 159th, and it seems that Kana Nishino is just better than her in comparison.
But a few years later, one in the sky and one underground, the light entered SDN48 and then disbanded again, and finally became the most failed artist, while Kana Nishino has become a representative of the post-singer era with many platinum singles, albums with sales of more than one million, and continuous appearances in the Red and White Song Club.
Kana Nishino's signing is the same as Takahashi Minami's and Zhou Xiao doesn't need to ask, and when she goes out, there will naturally be people from the company to communicate with her, and invite her family to come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract, but the difference is that Takahashi Minami signed a very rudimentary and simple contract. Because she is left to AKZ and AKB48 in the future, the official signing will have to wait for AKB's contract in the future, and Kana Nishino, the company will tailor suitable pre-debut training and various plans after her debut, so for her, the company will sign a prefect contract that is completely different from Takahashi Minami, at least five years, at most eight years.
In the industry, this kind of prefect appointment usually appears as a very negative example, such as when the first phase of SNH was recruited. There was negative news such as a long-term contract, and even after terminating the contract with the company, you can't sign with another company.
But the long-term contract is actually more subtle, and it depends on the specific situation to say whether the long-term contract is good or bad, for example, one must sign a long-term contract with Kana Nishino now, otherwise we have spent tens of millions of dollars to train you for several years, and as a result, you have changed jobs, so no matter how big our family is, we can't help but squander it so much.
After the girl turned around and left the selection room, Zhou Xiao sat up straight and looked at the people around Azx, who also looked at him. And almost all of them showed a look of adoration or appreciation.
"Zhou Xiao, it's really yours, they were already very powerful when you were able to find the head of the biological unit before, but I didn't expect the one I found this time to be so good!" Uncle Inoue said.
"yes. I have goosebumps, but such a beginner singing method has such a good voice and talent, and it is really potential to cultivate it well. The music teacher from being said.
"In that case. Then the cultivation of this child still needs more help from your being. Zhou Xiao said.
"This ...... It's definitely okay for me to help, but let's be ...... help" Zhou Xiao was just polite, but the music teacher opposite was full of regret. Being's music work has shrunk so much that everyone can see the decline of this once glamorous company.
After Kana Nishino, there are not many key people left who will participate in the audition this time, and several people who will participate in AKB's selection in the future will be warmly encouraged by Zhou Xiao when they come in for an interview, reminding them to participate in the selection of the idol group that will start in the second half of the year until the last person to participate in the audition.
may be a silent rebellion against Zhou Xiao, AZX's staff put Naomi Watanabe in the last place when arranging the selection order, although AZX's selection claims to be any kind of person to participate, but few of the people who really come to participate in the selection take the funny artist or other strange route, most of them are mainly singing and acting, which makes Watanabe Naomi seem so ...... Kindness...... It's just too inappropriate to say that you stand out from the crowd.
In fact, Naomi Watanabe herself is not like a dream.
Contribute to AZX because AZX explains that any style can be submitted to them.,But Watanabe Naomi herself feels that the possibility of being selected by AZX is very small.,Among so many beauties,What is such a fat girl like herself.γ
But what she didn't expect was that the notice of AZX Tong GuΓ² primary election and entering the 3O list really arrived, and she realized that she had defeated tens of thousands of beautiful girls and entered Zhou Xiao's sight!
And then...... And here she came.
Naomi Watanabe, who appeared in the waiting area outside the audition venue, also caused a small commotion, and many of the girls present who participated in the audition couldn't believe that they wanted to fight for the opportunity to sign a contract with AZX with this kind of goods, which even made them doubt their positioning, they were invited by AZX, wouldn't they be a funny artist like this woman......
No one came to her to say anything, and after the unanimous surprise, everyone chose to ignore it, as if they had not seen her huge tonnage at all, the taunt was silent, and the violence was even more excessive than the real taunt of someone coming to her.
For Naomi Watanabe herself, the process before this selection was indeed a torment, watching a slender goblin twisting her hip bone in front of her to go in for selection, Naomi Watanabe's heart kept repeating doubts and self-doubts, one moment wondering if AZX was playing with herself, and another moment doubting whether someone like herself could successfully get the contract of AZX, in short, her heart was full of uncertainty.
This worry and suspicion continued until the end, when everyone but her had finished their auditions, and she was alone and somewhat pitiful with her bag waiting there, looking at the empty and quiet hall that had returned from the new, she was really afraid of someone coming suddenly. Ask her, "What do you do?" β
From the last person to leave the screening room to the staff inside pushing open the door and walking towards her, Naomi Watanabe felt that an incomparably long time had passed, and when the staff member walked in her direction, she also whispered like poisoning: "Don't drive me away, don't drive me away, don't drive me away......"
Eventually, the staff member walked up to her, and he didn't seem to notice her strangeness. He asked, "Miss Naomi Watanabe, it's time for you to make the selection." β
"Huh? Be! I know! The chubby chick stood up violently like she had never done in her life.
Standing up in a trance, walking towards the door of dreams in a trance, and then pushing it open in a trance, the first thing Watanabe Naomi saw was Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes full of encouragement and expectation?
Just, what was he expecting?
"Naomi Watanabe?" A middle-aged uncle beside Zhou Xiao looked at the information in his hand and asked.
"Yes! I'm Naomi Watanabe! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After saying this, both sides seemed to be waiting for the other to speak, so there were quite a few people in the room. But strangely fell into the embarrassment of quiet.
"Ahem, Naomi Watanabe, would you like to come to the audition?" Zhou Xiao broke the strange atmosphere.
"I like Zhou Xiao very much...... San's song and movie, I also want to be a funny artist, so I submitted it. Naomi Watanabe said. When an ordinary person is called a star, he usually does not add an honorific title or even calls him a nickname. It doesn't matter if you are younger than the other party, but a person who enters the entertainment industry must pay attention to his identity.
"In that case, do you have anything to perform?" Zhou Xiao asked, the video she submitted for selection was a collaborative skit with another person. But it seems that there was a conflict between the two on whether to participate in this audition, so in the end she was the only one who came.
"Yes! I want to do a skit and stand-up comedy! Naomi Watanabe said.
"Then if you're ready, you can do it." Zhou Xiao said.
Naomi Watanabe's jokes are not very good with the performance, maybe it's the tense relationship, and her vocal cords can't stop shaking when she speaks. Several of the jokes are also lacklustre and nothing new, and the few judges didn't even laugh, which made Watanabe Naomi more desperate the more she performed, and by the last paragraph, she even stopped and didn't continue the joke.
After a pause for a few seconds, seeing that Naomi Watanabe didn't say any more, Zhou Xiao spoke: "First of all, your joke must end the performance, for an artist, unless there is an earthquake or a war below, you should continue the performance, no matter how cold it is below, you should continue." β
"Yes!" Naomi Watanabe said with a gloomy face.
"And there is no need to say these jokes next time, you need new, more interesting jokes." "Yes......"
"Why don't you like to sing? Do you have a favorite singer? Zhou Xiao asked.
"I ...... I like Zhou Xiaosang! Naomi Watanabe.
"Don't sing me, sing female singers, female singers, whose songs will you sing? Will Ayumi Hamasaki's? Or Koda Rami, Namie Amuro's. Zhou Xiao asked.
"Yes! I will! After thinking about it, Naomi Watanabe brewed a love affair and began to sing Ayumi Hamasaki's song.
Zhou Xiao listened to two sentences and said, "Have you ever seen their performances?" How about trying to imitate them? Remember to exaggerate, to exaggerate a certain trait in them. Zhou Xiao said. In fact, imitation is like this, if you exaggerate a person's characteristics and then express them, the audience will feel very similar, for example, Andy Lau is trill, Adu is dumb, and Xiao Shenyang is "Oh Mom". Of course, the same is true of Japanese imitation, unless it is really the kind of imitation that is very similar, otherwise the imitation of the funny form cannot escape the word exaggeration.
Naomi Watanabe tried to imitate it twice, although she still couldn't grasp the point, Zhou Xiao saw that the people around her were bright, because the fat girl in front of her was a lot better! The previous Watanabe Naomi was nervous and didn't know what to say, and the performance was weird, but now her imitations are still very naΓ―ve, but they are surprisingly good to watch.
Zhou Xiao smiled and didn't say anything to them, before, these people were basically very worried about Zhou Xiao's choice, but now that there is reality to fight back, their worries should be a little less. So, Zhou Xiao turned his head and said to Naomi Watanabe: "Naomi Watanabe, we think you still have some potential, so if you are interested, we are willing to sign an artist contract with you." β
"Huh? Week...... Mr. Zhou, is there no longer a need for selection? Naomi Watanabe asked.
"The selection is for me, used to find excellent seedlings, I am not interested in dividing you potential seedlings into three, six, nine and so on, this is not right, you are compared with those girls before, in terms of appearance, singing and acting may be the worst, but I see the potential for success in you, so I will give up a lot of them among them, but you and I will not give up." Zhou Xiao said with a smile.
"Thank you! Thank you Zhou Xiaosang! Naomi Watanabe bowed sharply, she thanked not only Zhou Xiao for giving her the contract and opportunity, but also for Zhou Xiao for giving her confidence. (To be continued......)
