At the end of 2012, the AKB girls, who had been busy all year, did not get much time off and moved on to a busier job.

For Zhou Xiao, how to make the members less tired and give them enough rest time is one of the things that distinguishes him from other producers and has always been very related.

One of the decisions he made in 2013 was...... The original single will not be released this spring!

Originally, at this time in history, AKB would release a single called "solong! Now Zhou Xiao has directly put this song into AKB's new performance.

The loss of a single may not seem like a change to the average member, but for the top members, it will allow them to appear a lot less next spring.

Precious rest time is too important for them.

Another 13 years will begin,There is also the preparation and filming of "Malu Suga School 3"。

That's right, "Road Suga School Park" has already been filmed twice.

In fact, just like many movies are made twice at once, when "Malu Suga School 1" was filming, the second part had already begun to prepare.

After all, the actors of these two dramas are basically the same generation, and it is nothing more than that the focus of the two dramas is not the same.

The main actors of the first drama are the first and second students, and in the second drama, the two of the third students and SKE take on the main role.

In the third part, the members of the third phase of the students have also reduced their roles, and now the main roles are the eighth and ninth students.

This is actually a bit embarrassing, because among the members of the AKB Group, the first three students can be said to be full of talents, and the third generation is after the third generation. Among the fourth to seventh students, the only members who are really valuable are Kashiwagi, who should have belonged to the third period, and the biggest outlier in AKB.

The lack of strength of the members is one reason, and the suppression of the first three students is another reason, Zhou Xiao estimates that it is precisely because of this that the operation will choose to let the nine students in history set up a new Team4.

Now the suppression of the first three issues is still there. But the ability of the eighth and ninth students is not given in vain.

What's more, Zhou Xiao won't let Haruka Shimazaki be the protagonist this time.

Shimazaki also has some potential, but now she is not the time to be able to pick the beam, the history of the road 3 starring her in a new version is actually a helpless move to operate, to the environment of the ninth phase of the student at that time, due to the failure of training, there are too few people who can pick the beam, Shimazaki's top position may be the company's efforts to promote, but obviously the strength is not enough but let her star in the TV series, that is a helpless move.

Today's drama. The protagonist was replaced by several people who were born in the eighth and ninth periods.

Sister Hirose, Akari Hayami, Kaoru Komune, Ruriko Kojima, these four girls are at least a lot better than the current Shimazaki in terms of acting skills.

In addition to them, the main members of the first two films, including Yuko Maeda, Airi Matomo and Shuangmatsui, also starred, although the role was not large. They mainly play a role in connecting the previous and the next.

Started planning at the same time as Road 3.,There's also a big movie about Road Suga School Park.。 Just like a super system movie, Zhou Xiao intends to make the Malu Suga series a whole long enough series, of course, compared with the former, the influence of the Malu Suga series will not be too high, at most it will become an important existence in AKB Village.

Of course. None of these things need him to shoot in person, and even the script has been handed over to others to handle, and he and Yasuya Akimoto often just put forward a concept.

The other force of Ma Lu San is the NMB force, and the two girls, Aya Yamamoto and Miyuki Watanabe, will also play a more important role in the series.

Speaking of Miyuki Watanabe, this girl is now in a rather sweet stage with Zhou Xiao. She was originally a girl with a lot of vanity, and a week after that day, Zhou Xiao directly gave her millions of pocket money, but the person who really gave her money was not Zhou Xiao but Yamei Cai, Zhou Xiao also took into account that it would be more difficult for the girl to accept the money directly, and it was much easier to pass the Yamei Cai, and the two girls seemed to have reached a strategic alliance, which was also a good thing for Zhou Xiao.

However, for the rest of the year, Zhou Xiao didn't have much time to accompany her.

Most of the rest of the year belongs to Shinoda.

Recently, Zhou Xiao discovered a problem why most of his women like to travel, Sister Izumizu, and so does Kokura, and the first thing Shinoda did after graduating turned out to be traveling all over the world instead of those jobs that she found because of her graduation.

From September to November, the girl went around the world for more than three months before finally coming back to work in December, and it seems that she doesn't care about her popularity at all.

started recording half a month of large and small programs, time into the year-end rhythm, for Shinoda at the end of the year, the five major tones at the end of the year are not qualified to be on the situation, there are not many more famous programs that can be done, so the girl proposed to accompany her more at the end of the year, this request is a matter of course, the busy AKB period, such as the current Yuko, in fact, and Zhou Xiao don't have much time to develop a relationship, and it is already very good for the two sides to get along once in two or three months without caring about time.

Now that Shinoda has enough time, what else to say, Zhou Xiao has booked a lot of activities early, and he is waiting for the end of the year to go to the two-person world with the girl.

And when booking these activities, Zhou Xiao finally understood why women like to travel all over the world.

They are too famous in Japan, let alone Japan, even in many places in the world, they can't go openly, such as Hawaii, such as the larger islands of the Maldives, they can't go openly.

As for Japan, it is even more impossible, Zhou Xiao's current popularity is even from seven or eight-year-old children to seventy or eighty old people of all ages, the two of them want to go out hand in hand or something, maybe after two or three hours, it will be spread everywhere on the Japanese Internet.

Therefore, the scheduled activities can still only be various overseas attractions.

It must also be the kind of high-end attractions that ordinary civilians can't go to, so as to effectively prevent them from being discovered.

As for other women in China, Zhou Xiao also appeased.

He promised, whether it's Yuko Kojima. Or the future of Yamei, Miyuki Watanabe, as long as they graduate, no matter how busy they are, they must find time to go out with the graduating girls for a period of time to compensate for their regret that they almost didn't have time to be with Zhou Xiao during the group.

And after settling down on these things. Japan at the end of the year, AZX at the end of the year, Zhou Xiao at the end of the year, and even the reunited "Sea Girl" crew have only one big job left, and that is this year's red and white.

This year's red and white is definitely the most important red and white in AKB in recent years, not only for AKB, but even for AZX.

AKB in the previous life was actually not very critical at this time of the year, but this year, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, it can be so critical, mainly because he and his AKB want to further their relationship.

Female idols are limited by age and experience, and they can't do it for decades like male idols until they are in their forties and fifties. Therefore, female idols must pursue explosiveness and pursue to push their popularity to an extremely high level in a short period of time.

So in the eyes of outsiders, there will be a feeling that female idols are relatively short-sighted and cherish their immediate interests.

This year's red and white, not only AKB but also "Sea Girl" will be on it, and the two super projects of the morning drama and AKB will be combined in red and white this year.

In fact, this year's red and white, AZX in addition to AKB and SKE. Momokusa will also be on stage, but compared to AKB's huge project this year. Even if Momocao is extraordinary, it can't stop AKB's shine this year.

As for the specific planning part of red and white.

In the previous life, the "Sea Ama" red and white project allowed the two heroines to appear on the red and white stage as the final episode of the series, interspersed with about fifteen minutes of red and white throughout the red and white, as if they came to the red and white stage from Iwate Prefecture.

Zhou Xiao didn't want to act like this, because if he did it. The protagonists of the entire red and white link are only Reina and Ai Hashimoto, and in his plan, he prefers that most of the main actors in the film can appear, as for singing, if necessary. He hopes that Hashimoto, plus Murahana, plus Yakushimaru Hiroko and Koizumi Kyoko can all appear and sing.

Only in this way can we create the strength of "Sea Girl" today.

You must know that the last episode of NHK ama was broadcast on December 30th, compared with the previous life when the ama was broadcast for several months before it ushered in red and white, the current ama is at the peak of popularity and attention, and Zhou Xiao has worked hard to create the time point, and he must definitely seize every opportunity to do it.

The performance of the ama part takes up a total of 15 minutes, which is the length of an episode of the morning drama, which is not very moving, but Noenian plus Ai Hashimoto, the three of Murahana and AKB.

After the three-person ama session is basically over, AKB will appear to perform with the trio, and the girls will perform songs from "ama" in addition to their main single of the year, and in the end, the combined performance session between AKB and amayeo will probably last more than 30 minutes.

With so many performances, plus SKE, plus the artists who will inevitably appear in the biological unit, someone who is interested has calculated that if the performance time of AZX company's artists this year is added to the "Sea Girl" link, it may surpass the length of Genesys' performance!

Of course, the gold content of the current AZX Group is not comparable to the advantages that Genesys has been operating for so many years, not only in the length of the performance, but also in the content of the performance, the types of performances performed by the male idols of Genesys are very rich, and the AKB Group from AKB to SKE in the future, NMB and even Nogizaka basically focus on ordinary idol songs.

is simply a soft song of female idols, in fact, one red and white is very enough, and so many idol groups of the same type will be red and white together in the future of AKB Group, even Zhou Xiao will feel quite bored.

If he could, he would rather have fewer combinations of the same type, or combine multiple combinations together and make more of the more interesting combinations in the genre play.

Zhou Xiao should not be completely selfless, but he feels that it is necessary to let more different types of idols appear, which can effectively improve the type of female idols and make the audience more receptive to idols.

Of course. It is impossible for him to open his mouth and allow other companies' opponents to enter the red and white without paying anything, and his relationship with NHK, AKB's current dominant position in the Japanese female idol circle must not be easily shaken, so before he nods and agrees, AZX will inevitably squeeze out all the benefits that the other side can give.

Preparations began in December, and most of the crew members of the ama crew also reunited after nearly two months.

Zhou Xiao didn't go to be the director of the Red and White Song Club or anything like that. With his level, the Red and White Song Club can't invite him anymore, but he still participated in the production of the red and white ama link.

Then, the last good news of 2012 is that the Keio of Eri Mayu has been decided.

Excellent in character and learning to the extent of these two girls, there is still a star bonus, and there is such a powerful senior as Zhou Xiao, it is almost a sure thing for them to enter Keiying, after Zhou Xiao's personal application, Kei officially sent the news that it was easy for the two girls to enter Keio at the end of December.

The Japanese entertainment industry in the previous life. Airi and AKB's Miyu Takeuchi also went to Keio, and there are even university tyrants in the AKB group who went to Wasina Shiori, but among these three people, that is, the Wasai politics and economics news in Nakamata Shio, AKB promoted it well, and in the end, because of the girl's talent and the relationship between being too addicted to reading, the publicity failed.

As for why Airi and Kotakeuchi have not been hyped, the main reason is because the same major they are studying is the lowest deviation value in Keio, and it is originally a major left for this kind of artist to take advantage of loopholes. It's really great to be admitted to Keio while being an artist, but this kind of major can't really be said to be a very strong and academic master. The gold content has not yet reached the level where it is worth the operation to pay for publicity.

Now Airi Mayu is different, after their efforts from childhood to adulthood, under the role of role models, they were officially admitted to Keio in advance with their own abilities, so they are much more powerful than the majors that can be paid by artists and talents.

After all this mess. The Red and White Song Party is finally about to begin.

On the afternoon of the 31st, the backstage of NHKHALL was a mess, and the big artists had their own lounges, which was impossible for the AKB girls to have, and they had to gather around a large rehearsal room in NHKHALL. There are several rows of tables that exhaust the mirrors to put the makeup, and the dressing rooms are surrounded by black curtains, and as for the bento, it is quite spectacular to send hundreds of servings together......

Zhou Xiao doesn't have a private lounge today, if he has a red and white appearance, he will definitely arrange the biggest one for him, but this year's red and white he didn't appear and didn't have guests and specific positions, so he simply didn't ask NHK for a lounge but helped around AKB.

The busy time was getting closer and closer to the start of the performance, and an hour before the start of the red and white, Zhou Xiao specially instructed the staff to ask for a break room and then found the two CENTERS of AKB.

Maeda, Oshima.

The two girls giggled and walked in with their shoulders hooked.

"Have you decided?" Zhou Xiao asked.

With these words, the two girls immediately fell silent.

Why do you ask? Because these two girls, if there is no accident today, they will announce their graduation.

Maeda, who was supposed to announce his graduation this spring, and Yuko, who would not announce his graduation until the end of 13 years, announced the graduation of the two girls in the time period of 12 years, which was a little late for Maeda and too early for Yuko.

Moreover, it was the two of them who announced it together.

The two of them were about to announce their graduation, and they had already told Zhou Xiao about it.

Maeda and Yuko, who were the most important people in the team in the years before AKB, are still among the most popular in the AKB group, and now, they are finally considering graduating.

Of course, Zhou Xiao didn't want the two girls to leave, if he could, he hoped to be their producer all the time, but both he and the two girls knew that it was almost impossible, and they all had their own ways to go.

For Maeda Oshima, they have already done everything they can do in an idol group, and in the years of AKB, they have also found what they love and are willing to devote their lives to it, and that is acting.

When the two girls discussed graduation with Zhou Xiao, he actually said, I don't want you to think about graduation with the excuse of "I feel like you have to make way for juniors", in this kind of thing, I hope you are selfish, you only think about your own thoughts, you think that graduation is good, then please graduate to pursue what you want, in turn, you feel that you still want to continue to do it, then stay here with peace of mind.

Many meals like to discuss what is behind the combination after something happens, sometimes even a small thing may become the deliberate handiwork of the operation department, and even those things that may not be understood by people at the level of Zhou Xiaoqiu Yuankang may be considered by the meals as some information released by them.

But the truth is often that many times Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuanyasu don't think so much at all, and go with the flow, many things are just simple choices on the surface.

It's like the two girls graduating now, no matter what kind of thinking they have in the future, no matter how many voices Zhou Xiao will carry such as "drive the two away and push the next generation", the reality is so simple.

They chose to leave and wanted to do their own thing, so Zhou Xiao let go.

It's as simple as that. (To be continued......)
