Chapter 475: A series of surprises are staged
Among the AKB girls, Zhou Xiao, who has her own brand, knows two, one is Nozomi Kawasaki, and the other is Mariko Shinoda.
But the process of building a brand and the skills required by these two people are completely different.
Shinoda Mariko's brand, after she became famous, some manufacturers came to them, Shinoda himself is no different from a senior product spokesperson, and the money earned, Shinoda can get a share of about 5% or more, no more than 10%, this is the most common form of celebrity branding, most of the popular Japanese models have their own so-called brands.
Kawasaki Nozomi's own brand is very different from Shinoda Shinoda is very different, Kawasaki Nozomi is relying on the money saved by being an idol in the past few years, to design, find manufacturers to produce and finally open a store, and earn memory sales, this sales are not large, in Japan's fashion industry, I am afraid it is a small brand of the eighteenth line, but this is enough, it will not make too much money as an idol, she can rely on the millions she has saved by frugality, and she can create a clothing platter with sales of hundreds of millions, which in itself shows her potential.
It is precisely because she really has this potential that Zhou Xiao will not hesitate to spend money to support her.
When Zhou Xiao announced his support for Nozomi Kawasaki, not far from him, Amina Sato was looking at him with adoration on her face.
"Brother Zhou Xiao...... It's so handsome, and it's a dream, Nozomi Kawasaki's predecessor's dream has come true with the help of Brother Zhou Xiao......" Amina Sato thought.
In the girl's opinion, Zhou Xiao is simply handsome, because she is realizing a person's lifelong dream, of course, it would be better if this person was herself, but now even if it is not herself, Zhou Xiao's brother is also very handsome. Moreover, when I leave AKB, will Brother Zhou Xiao also realize my dream?
The girl couldn't help but think.
After the concert. The members gathered backstage as usual to wait for Zhou Xiaoxun to speak, and within a few seconds, Zhou Xiao walked to the girls with Amina Sato and Nozomi Kawasaki, and he said through a loudspeaker: "Today's support for Nozomi Kawasaki, in fact, there are opposing voices in operation, and in the eyes of many people in terms of operation, I am undoubtedly stupid to do this, because once I do this, others will inevitably have thoughts such as 'If I have a similar dream, will Brother Zhou Xiao help me realize it'." Therefore, my approach is actually equivalent to adding a big burden to myself and the operation, AKB is an occasion for everyone to realize their dreams, yes, but AKB is not an organization that only saves the dreams of one or two people.
I believe that you all agree and understand this statement, and the operation will always have its own ideas, which will sometimes definitely contradict your or even my ideas.
But...... I did it anyway. However, you also have to know what I did before I did that. β
After saying this, Zhou Xiao turned his head and gestured to the staff. The other party quickly brought a document.
Zhou Xiao, who was holding the information, said: "Nozomi Kawasaki proposed that the graduation time was two months ago, and after that, AZX made a very strict review of her plan and helped her specify a very potential and rigorous self-created brand plan. And Nozomi Kawasaki herself, too, expressed enough effort, she didn't actually know that the company would invest in the development of these plans. She had always thought it was just the personal actions of the people who handled it.
Even so, she still went all out to devote herself to her dreams, and took out almost all the money she had saved as an idol in the past few years.
Before graduation is announced today. She is still short of more than 17 million yen in her planned investment, which is an almost impossible figure for her to solve, but I think such a dream is worth encouraging, so we have this money! β
After pausing and glancing at the girls present, Zhou Xiao continued: "It's good for a person to have a dream, but it's not enough to impress others with dreams, only when you have the seriousness and ability to match it, you can impress investors, please remember this, I will support your dreams, I will even pay to train you to run towards your dreams, but if you want to leave AKB to realize your dreams and get my help, show me your abilities!" β
The concert is definitely a huge event, especially if there is a second one tomorrow, so when the concert is over, all the girls go straight to their homes to rest, they must rest very well in order to better prepare for another concert tomorrow. This is especially true for top team members like Maeda and Oshima.
The night passed quickly, and when the morning came, many of the girls had already come out of the house in full clothes, and although the concert did not start until the evening, their preparations began during the day.
But Ami Sato is missing from this.
After yesterday's concert, Zhou Xiao asked Yameicai's agent to take the girl to the hospital for treatment, and the final diagnosis given by the doctor also startled the girl who didn't care very much, the fracture of the leg is not particularly serious, but if you do a lot of exercise during the injury, it is likely to deepen the pain and fall to the root of the disease, even if it is found now, she must rest for a whole month.
In the case of being taken care of by the boss, no one will mention letting the girl insist on finishing the concert, and AKB's official website also published the news that the girl will enter the recuperation in the middle of the night yesterday, as for the girl's position, she was ordered by Zhou Xiaoxin to be substituted for Meina.
Speaking of which, in the fourth life of the previous life, everyone Zhizuka was a very famous tragic girl, she went from being a graduate student to being promoted to a full member, and it took a total of 872 days to succeed, and when Zhou Xiao came here, he didn't let everyone have the idea of becoming an AKB member in advance, not only did he not advance it, but he also found a girl to accompany her, and this girl was Daba Mina.
As early as the third phase of the student to participate in the election, Zhou Xiao was dragged to the fourth period, the previous life of the big field in the ninth phase of the student actually bloomed a considerable level of light, but now the big field, I don't know if it is the reason for the age and inexperience, in short, the girl's table is not particularly good, Zhou Xiao is not in a hurry, he put the big field and everyone Zhijin Xiang together to form a duo with hard work but lack of potential, Zhou Xiao is very clear that the time for these two people has not yet come. As long as they have enough patience and roots, in a few years, AKB and even the Japanese entertainment industry will have their living space.
Of course, the main reason why Dachang can replace Amina Sato to participate in the concert is because the girl is still only a supporting role, and the real protagonists, those centers are difficult to replace.
There's not much to say about JCBHALL's second concert on the second day, AKB has a lot of songs now, but the main body of the performance is still AKB's own singles and popular unit songs, and this kind of CON. All the concerts are actually pre-performances for the final performance.
When the performance ended, Zhou Xiao appeared on the stage again, and what he announced this time was the promotion of Takashiro Yashu.
As a sixth-term student, Takashiro Aki has actually been a graduate student of AKB for a short time, and in her previous life, her promotion speed was very fast, and now Zhou Xiao has also continued this promotion speed and even made her successful in the big concert, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement for girls.
But this is not the climax of today, after Zhou Xiao is gone. The theater was darkened again, and the huge projection screen was lowered, and this time it was the real climax.
The first thing that appears on the screen is Yuichi Fukuda's big face. The subtitles below are marked with the nondescript title of "Zhou Xiao's follower".
Yuichi Fukuda has been running with Zhou Xiao in the past few years, and he is not famous, if nothing else, let's talk about Zhou Xiao's "Flash Trip", because many times it will be related to Zhou Xiao's work and even the unwaiting part. Yuki Fukuda has had a lot of opportunities to appear as soon as he appears, and as for AKB, he has directed several MVs for AKB's single CW songs. It can be said that both the meal and the members are no strangers to him.
"Really?" Yuichi Fukuda asked.
"Of course, it's almost time for your TV series director and screenwriter debut." Zhou Xiao said.
"Huh? Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou Xiao. "Yuki Fukuda. Speaking of which, many viewers will be very puzzled, although most of us know Yuichi Fukuda, but what does his debut in TV series shooting have to do with us?
The video on the big screen continued.
"Filming for the three of them, don't be too strict with your acting skills, just work hard to do a good job in the plot." Zhou Xiao said again.
"Yes, all three of them are children with great potential, and they will definitely be able to do well." Yuichi Fukuda said again.
Zhou Xiaodao: "In addition, how about letting the three of them form a unit?" How many songs do you write for them? Compared with acting, singing is what they are good at. β
"It's up to you." Yuichi Fukuda said.
"Then it's decided, Yona Kojima, Minami Takahashi, Minami Minegan, in January of next year, actresses and singers will make their double debut!"
Syllable! The screen was pressed. Boom! A few big words typed up.
"Yona Kojima, Minami Takahashi, Minami Minegishi, actress, female singer double debut!"
Boom! A few more big words.
"Combo name: NO3B!"
The film has ended here, and the entire venue has been plunged into a sea of cheers.
The girls on the stage actually have mixed tastes, some are sincerely happy for the three of them, some feel "why not me", and even curse the three of them in their hearts, thinking that the three of them must have something to do with Zhou Xiao, but the women are still good at this kind of thing, most of the girls congratulate both sides, and some girls are complaining on the side.
"No wonder! No wonder Takamina couldn't help but smile the other day, I thought she had picked up the money! Mariko Shinoda said.
"yes, yes! The same goes for Mi-chan these days! Sometimes all of a sudden, you can burst out laughing! Atsuko Maeda only admitted.
βnyannyanοΌ I went out with you a few days ago, and you said that you had a job with the two of them, so you went to prepare for filming, right!? It's so hard to hide us! Yuko Oshima said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't reveal anything until it's made public, I'm sorry!" Mi-chan and Kojima are okay, Takahashi Minami, as the emperor and leader of the group, is the most congratulatory and the most dissatisfied, so she had to turn around and apologize.
At this time, Zhou Xiao, who had originally stepped down, also appeared on the stage again, and he said: "The unit combination of the three Takahashi is just an attempt to operate, and more combinations will be born in the future." In addition, there will also be members who will release solo singles, so please be patient and look forward to what kind of changes will take place. β
Zhou Xiao's words are very encouraging to the girls, especially those who volunteer in the field of singing, of course, for those girls who are not particularly popular, this expectation is more just an expectation, they know very well that with their own strength, they can't be selected by the operation to become a member of the unit or even solo debut.
This is the end of the next day's surprise announcement. The promotion of Takashiro Aki and the establishment of NO3B are good news, and what is even more exciting for some of them is that this is only something announced two days ago, and the most important last day has not yet arrived, and when this CON comes to the end, what kind of surprise will be announced?
Another night passed, the third day of JCBCON, Sunday local time in Japan, in the afternoon. The third concert was held first, and after two days of performances, this third afternoon concert is usually the least popular, but with AKB now. Even for this performance, the audience still filled every seat in the theater, and the four concerts in three days will mobilize more than 13,200 people in total. This number is quite impressive, after all, with the current AKB, the popularity among the Japanese public is not very high. Most of the people who came to the concert were core meals, and few floating meals came.
Zhou Xiao didn't announce anything in the third concert, in the case of a big announcement in the first two days, both the members and the fans are looking forward to the night performance that will be held soon, everyone knows that the night performance is the essence.
After the girls who finished the afternoon performance arrived backstage, they were called by Zhou Xiao to have dinner together, because it was soon a night performance, so this meal was not so much dinner as to replenish energy for the girls, everyone ate the kind of things that can quickly replenish energy, not rice and bread.
AKBSKE two groups of dozens of girls eat together, it feels like two classes of girls' school are on a spring outing, AKB in the previous life is actually less like this kind of eating together, because it takes a lot of space to gather the girls together, and the time is not easy to arrange, when everyone eats, there are always some girls who have other jobs.
The reason why Zhou Xiao insisted on doing this was because he really wanted to make the relationship between AKB members better, and eating together was undoubtedly a pretty good way.
eating, chatting, and complaining to each other, Zhou Xiao, who was sitting among the girls, looked at it with a smile as if he were a young teacher.
In fact, Zhou Xiao is very clear, AKB or something, most of the members are just colleagues, no matter how good the relationship between the members is now, after a long time, or the status of each other has changed, the relationship at this stage will soon change, depending on the relationship between idols, just look at AKB's predecessor kitten club, after 20 Chinese New Year's Eve years, there are still very few friends.
Zhou Xiao's idea is very simple, he knows that it is difficult for the relationship between the members to become real friends, but even if there is only a little chance, even if it only succeeds in making a pair of girls become lifelong friends, it is also a proud achievement for him.
After dinner, I took a break and the night concert started again.
As the last concert of the year and AKB's last work, this concert is the most abundant in terms of both choreography and members' efforts, and after this concert, many fans said bluntly that this is AKB's most exciting concert since their debut, "The light emitted by the girls shines on the entire JCBHALL, and such a group will inevitably usher in a day of take-off in the coming days!" β
At the end of the concert, Zhou Xiao finally appeared again. After taking out a piece of paper from his suit pocket and waiting for the entire venue to be quiet, Zhou Xiao finally began to announce: "Starting next year, AKB will start to launch a national tour plan!" All 47 prefectures in Japan will leave our presence! β
"Oooo The fans are excited, the national tour!
"National? Huh? Is AKB all going to go? The girls asked.
"The tour is performed as a team, such as Group A to Nagasaki, Group B to Oita, Group K to Nara, etc., and the name of this series of performances is ......'The idol you can meet meet'! It's likely that this national tour will take a long time, but whether it's a year or two, we'll keep doing it until we're done with all the tours and we're ...... Dominate the country! β
"Wow!" Many people shouted out, dominating the country, what a domineering declaration!
"The idol you can meet has gone to meet you." This so-called national tour is not available in AKB in the previous life, and AKB in the previous life actually had a national tour, including the doppelganger technique in 2009, the national tour in 2010, and even the 2012 to 13 years of the wild Zhongxiang performance, Zhou Xiao's national performance, in fact, has made these national tours into a major project, and in his plan, this project will run through the future AKB career, that is, every year or even every month, a certain team of the AKB team, He will perform outside the team, which is his biggest plan!
