Huang Feng seems to be really looking forward to the Japanese entertainment industry, and a few days after chatting with Zhou Xiao, he came with the news that his funds were in place, and Zhou Xiao was very passive, because Huang Feng's matter was just an episode for him, and he didn't expect Huang Feng to be so anxious at all.

Zhou Xiao is still concerned about AKB.

First of all, in addition to "God TV", another title group of AKB began.

This variety show called "AKB48+10" began to be broadcast in 2007 in history, and the whole show lasted until 2009, but ...... This is not a super powerful.,A legendary variety show that lasted for two whole years even though AKB was not popular as a whole.,It's just a super small group where all the members are members of Group B.,A total of 24 episodes.,Only one episode per month is a super small zuò group.。

This group ...... It's a variety show for people outside of AKB's meal.,More than a dozen girls' soft MC.,Boring fan group content and worthless planning.,What's the point of such a show?

But for AKB Rice, this show is indeed a god show on some Cheng dù.

A variety show that lasted for two whole years, on this show, it was possible to see the very valuable growth of the girls, and for the AKB rice that joined later, you can see the very early youth of the girls, this kind of youthfulness is what AKB rice likes to see the most.

When this show was announced, the girls in Group B were very happy, although it was only a monthly group, but as girls who have just entered AKB for a short time, the seniors have worked hard for nearly two years to have "God TV", and they have this group soon after they entered, and Brother Zhou Xiao is really good to them.

Although in fact...... This matter has nothing to do with Zhou Xiao at all.

The whole show, from finding a zuò unit to broadcasting, is almost all the efforts of Yasushi Akimoto, but no one cares about this kind of thing. Not only do the girls in Group B not care, but neither do the fans, all the glory and shame of AKB are attributed to Yasushi Akimoto in their previous lives, and now they are attributed to Zhou Xiao.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Zhou Xiao, for example, in this matter, the girls in Group B worship Zhou Xiao even more, and the girls in Group A and K are quite unhappy, because Brother Zhou Xiao did not give their two teams any exclusive programs. But I got one for the smallest group B.

Nowadays, this tendency of girls and rice is actually quite small, and in the future life, it will even reach the point where Zhou Xiao will blame Zhou Xiao for everything, just like Zhou Xiao in his previous life, and the rice will blame Qiu Yuankang for everything.

The most exaggerated thing Zhou Xiao saw was that sometimes the members participated in a variety show of a certain TV station by themselves, and the meals would scold Qiu Yuanyasu, and Zhou Xiao couldn't help but complain and participated in the variety show by himself. A lot of it was done by the members' own offices, and Yasu Akimoto set up a huge group of more than 300 people like AKB alone, and he would pay attention to a certain episode of the program that the members participated in and read through the plan of the program. Do you also give instructions to set the actions of members and even other participants? That's obviously impossible.

In addition to variety shows, the time has come to the end of 2007, this time. There is a very important thing that Zhou Xiao must prepare, that is, next summer, SKE48 will be established. In addition to SKE. Originally, AKB was brought back to life after the release of the single "Loud Diamond", but when it came to Zhou Xiao, he felt that there was no need to wait so long for AKB's future, and when 2008 came, AKB should be a little better.

As for the way to make AKB see improvement, it is actually very simple, and that is to shake hands.

If you talk about the reason for AKB's popularity, many people attribute the credit to "Loud Diamond" and Jurina Matsui, thinking that it is the rare good song "Loud Diamond", as well as the relationship between the so-called once-in-a-decade original stone Jurina Matsui that brought AKB back to life.

Zhou Xiao pushed Zhu Lina, but even if she pushed her, Zhou Xiao didn't think that AKB's popularity was because of Zhu Lina's arrival.

The establishment of SKE in the previous life was entangled with the popularity trajectory of AKB, and with the establishment of SKE, Matsui Jurina's center, AKB gradually became popular throughout Japan and became a legendary national group.

For the establishment of SKE, in fact, Zhou Xiao has many incomprehensible places, the first question is, why is there SKE......

SKE was built during a period of revery, very decline for AKB, with eight months between "Cherry Blossom Petals 2008" and the release of "Loud Diamonds", although AKB's ninth single "Baby! Baby! Baby!", but in fact, this single is not a single of AKB's official hairstyle but a work that is only credited on the Internet, so this work is neither included in the oricon chart, nor has a number to speak of, so it can be regarded as a single that does not exist in AKB's official history.

After the single was removed, it took AKB a full eight months to release the single "Diamond Loud".

So...... What has the AKB done in these eight months? In the past eight months, AKB released a single with an online message, and there were rumors that the director zhì record company Sony had a huge loss and was facing dissolution, and then it really terminated the contract with the record company, and then signed a new company, cooperated with the "Kyoraku" company in Nagoya, and created SKE, and by the way, it should have earned a lot of franchise fees, and at the same time, it ...... also for the single "Loud Diamond", a normalized national handshake event was created......

Looking at what AKB has done during this time, the previous things seem to be big things, but the last thing may not even be qualified for the smallest news, but Zhou Xiao knows very well that it is the last thing that resurrects AKB, and the normalized handshake will ...... It's so powerful that only an idol group like AKB with at least a few dozen members can play it

Zhou Xiao's most incomprehensible thing is Jingle, 08 SKE began to recruit people, it stands to reason that 07 should start to prepare, but this period of time is the most declining time for AKB, I'm afraid that no company in the industry will be optimistic about the future development of AKB, in this case, what kind of mentality will Jingle have on the thief ship of Akimoto Yasu?

It's incomprehensible.

Soon after meeting Huang Feng, Zhou Xiao made an appointment with Qiu Yuankang. Let's talk about the most important thing of 2008.

After the two met, the first thing they talked about was, of course, Zhou Xiao's movie.

"It's really amazing, I really have the potential to hit the Oscars when I watch this movie, and my wife likes to watch it very much." Akimoto said. He also made movies, but his talent is not in it.

"Anyway, I've already finished filming and showed it to everyone, so it's none of my business if I can do it." Zhou Xiao said very thoughtfully.

"The mentality is good, I really envy you, you have done such a great thing, you can be AKB when you turn around. I don't have the energy anymore. ”

"If you're fifty and we're twenty, then we won't be able to play." Zhou Xiao also smiled.

"And what are you doing with me this time?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"I think ...... Do you think it's almost time to get a new AKB group? Zhou Xiao asked.

"New groups? Are you serious? Yasushi Akimoto was surprised.

"Of course it's true. Are you not interested? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Do you want to use a chain to collect franchise fees?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"No, no, no, I want to establish a new group in other places by myself, at most, it is just a cooperation with the local area, and the holding must be AZX." Zhou Xiao shook his head and said.

"That's right...... If it's a franchise, I have a company that I can recommend to you, but if it's AZX to hold the holdings, this company may not join. Akimoto said.

"Oh? ...... are you talking about? Zhou Xiao had actually guessed the company that Qiu Yuankang wanted to recommend.

"Do you know Kyoraku in Nagoya?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"You know, it's a pachinko, right?" Zhou Xiao said. He didn't pretend to be stupid and said he didn't know.

"That's right, I know the owner of Jingraku, and when we had dinner together some time ago, we talked about AKB. He was still interested in AKB, and at that time he had the idea of wanting to invest. ”

"Mr. Akimoto, no matter what this company is, I have a question that I am very curious about. Why would Kyorakku want to get involved in AKB? You can't impress me with the word interest, and I'm sure you'll pour your heart and soul into it. I myself will, but if it's the owner of Kyoraku or another company, a thorough businessman, it's not enough to be interested, I think he must have a purpose.

And...... In the case that all entertainment companies are not optimistic about AKB, he is a non-professional company in the entertainment industry, saying that he feels the potential of AKB's project, I think it is difficult to convince me, so many professionals do not feel the potential, and it is even more difficult for non-professional Jingle to feel it. Zhou Xiao said.

Faced with Zhou Xiao's question, Akimoto Yasushi rarely fell into contemplation.

"This is my AKB and my regiment, if I can't even know this, it's a little inappropriate." Seeing that Qiu Yuankang fell into deep thought, Zhou Xiao poured him a glass of wine and said.

After thinking about it for another minute, Yasuya Akimoto finally spoke: "Okay, in fact, this matter is a bit delicate. ”

"Oh?"

"Jingle is a company, you should know that it started as a pachinko small steel ball, this thing...... No matter how much you don't want to, you will be inextricably linked to certain associations in Japan, and part of the industry of Kyoto is the shares of the associations. ”

"I see." Zhou Xiao nodded, in Japan, black. Society. In fact, in the expression of Japanese law, it is not that the association is legal, but that the association is "forced to be disclosed", which means that we know your deposit, since we can't stop your deposit, then we must know you openly.

Even the largest associations have 30,000 or 40,000 officially registered members in the group, which is not a problem compared to Japan's population of 130 million and the population of tens of millions in big cities.

"Therefore, after so many years of operation, there will always be some funds here in Jingle that are not easy to sell, and the main purpose of investing in AKB is actually to clean up such a part of the funds." Akimoto said.

"To put it bluntly, it's money laundering?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"That's right, but one thing I can guarantee is that even if Jingle has a community background, it has long been whitewashed after so many years of operation. And the same is true for this money, if you want to make a move, it's just a little troublesome, even if the matter is finally broken, it will definitely not contact you and AZX, and even if it does, it won't hurt you and AZX. Akimoto said.

Zhou Xiao nodded first, there were some things, he finally figured it out.

In fact, the purpose of asking this question is to clarify most of Zhou Xiao's questions in his past life, not for the present. Because now he is not short of money at all, and he doesn't need a place like Jingle to invest in him at all, he is simply curious why Jingle would invest in AKB.

Just like what he said to Akimoto Yasu before, AKB really has nothing to invest in today's AKB, and the industry is not optimistic about it, how can a pachinko company in Jingle figure it out, and even the boss's interest can't be explained, because Jingle is not doing well in interest and persistence. Otherwise, they wouldn't have seen much development in their previous life and sold it back to AKB, a company that helped AKB in an extremely difficult time, and could have lost patience so quickly. Throw SKE away like garbage?

Now, when Yasu Akimoto gives the answer to this question, things are much easier to understand, and Kyoraku has some money that is difficult to sell. So I found Qiu Yuanyasu, and doing the entertainment industry is the easiest way to launder money, and then it is logical. SKE was established, and SKE may not have been in Jingle's plan, but who knew that with the advent of SKE, even AKB slowly became popular like shit luck, and even made Jingle earn a lot of money, presumably in the time and space of Zhou Xiao's previous life, the person who made this decision in Jingle must have woken up with laughter in his dreams.

Although he understands why Jingle joined AKB, Zhou Xiao is not ready to refer to this model, for AKB, it is now in the darkness before dawn, if someone wants to help him at this time, as long as it is sincere, Zhou Xiao will definitely remember and be grateful, whether he needs help or not.

But Jingle's purpose, Zhou Xiao doesn't want to connect with it, even if in his experience, Jingle's so-called money laundering does not break out, he will not take such a risk, in this world, even Yuki Kashiwagi can be a year younger than now, what else is impossible.

"Although I am not going to have such a big cooperation with Jingle, but ...... If it's just a regular shareholding, it's no problem. Zhou Xiao said, that's right, Jingle is still a snake in the end, if they are willing to invest in shares other than funds, Zhou Xiao is still very welcome.

"If it weren't for that reason, the current AKB wouldn't be too attractive to Kyorakuk." Akimoto said helplessly.

Anyway, you try to contact them, if you are interested, let them come to me, and at the same time tell them, AKB I will definitely do it myself, AZX has a lot of liquidity now, this is a long-term investment.

"If that's the case, their minds about AKB should change, okay, I know, I'll tell them." Akimoto said.

"Then I'm going to bother you." Zhou Xiao said.

"But why do you want to start a new group at this time?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"Oh? Akimoto-sensei thinks this is not the right time? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course it's not suitable, now all kinds of prestige of the AKB are at the bottom, to build sub-regiments...... It's not very optimistic. Akimoto said without hesitation.

And his words made Zhou Xiao stunned, in his previous life, Yasu Akimoto established SKY at about the same time, why did he feel that it was not suitable now?

But when he thought about it, he understood a little.

People's choices and perceptions always have a lot to do with the environment at the time, AKB was in a period of incomparable decline, I believe that the capital is also in a weak state, and then Jingle came, the arrival of Jingle did not bring AKB another oil bottle called SKE, but first brought a large amount of franchise fee liquidity, Zhou Xiao estimated, it was with these liquidity that AKB at that time could successfully get out of Sony and sign a contract with a new record company, So as to embark on the road to success, that is to say, the establishment of SKE, in fact, was nothing more than a by-product of Jingle franchise.

But Zhou Xiao is different now, he now regards SKE as the right path, and doesn't care about losses and investment at all, this kind of crazy investment...... In the eyes of any businessman, it is undesirable, so it will be difficult for Akimoto Yasu to understand Zhou Xiao's behavior, the establishment of SKE, in the previous life, was because of the capital injection of Jingle, but in this life, it seems that it is indeed harmful and not beneficial.

Regarding his opinion, Zhou Xiao shook his head and didn't explain too much, he couldn't say that he came through time and knew that he was going to establish SKE now, so he had to say: "I just think that when the time comes, I want to start doing it." ”

If Qiu Yuanyasu also traveled from China ten years later, I am afraid that at this time, I can only give Zhou Xiao a comment on this behavior, that is...... Rich, capricious! (To be continued......)
