Chapter 560: The World Expo is here

May 2010 was exciting for AKB meals in Chinese mainland because AKB was finally coming.

Since the end of 2009, AKB has gradually become popular under the surface of the mainland, and during the period when ACFUN was called AKFUN, AKB's first Chinese rice began to grow.

Zhou Xiao estimated that in the middle of 2010, AKB's Japanese operation must have noticed the popularity of the group in China, otherwise it would not have been possible to send people to the stage of the World Expo at such a coincidental opportunity.

In terms of operation, I must have been very surprised, I tried so hard to strive for the development of AKB overseas, but I didn't succeed, and I was able to develop in neighboring countries and show such a great performance in just half a year without caring about it, which is really amazing.

However, in Zhou Xiao's view, although the operation knows, it is not particularly concerned about the popularity of AKB in China, in their opinion, the popularity without a realistic foundation can not last too long, and the three of KE went to the World Expo, more in response to AKB's rice but did not have any more follow-up plans.

Today's Chinese AKB rice is actually no different from Zhou Xiao's Chinese AKB rice in his previous life, although AKB is more popular in Japan than in his previous life, but in China, because of the time of development and other reasons, coupled with coming to China about a month in advance, AKB's popularity at this time is worse than the development in Japan.

Although it is a little worse but not too bad, according to estimates, there will be about 200 people who will arrive at the scene, for this kind of small stage, 200 people is already a good number, and four classes of 50 people are not a small area.

The diners arrived early, not only to wait for the show to start, but also to see if there was a chance to meet the members in private.

Actually, for the members of AKB, it is very exciting to perform abroad, and they are in Japan. In fact, it's just a little star who won't be watched at all by the tram.,Although it's the same for most of the time overseas.,But overseas meals are limited to opportunities and rarely see the members.,So I always cherish the opportunity very much.,Not only will I do my best to support during the performance.,Like airport pick-up or something.,It's also a kind of star feeling for the girls.,This kind of experience,It's something they can't experience at home at all.。

That's why many Chinese guys feel that AKB members are very, very approachable when they come into contact with them. Because they are actually ordinary and simple little girls.

Gathered outside the stage early, waiting for the members to appear at the dinner, a figure also squeezed in, what the audience didn't notice was that when this figure squeezed in, many cameras on the scene began to follow him.

The man who was being chased by the camera was more than 1.8 meters tall, with huge sunglasses covering half of his face, and a somewhat weird and funny beard on his mouth, carrying a huge professional camera. Nervous taking pictures.

About two weeks later, viewers who watched "Flash Trip" in front of the TV already knew that this person was Zhou Xiao.

"Flash Trip" has been almost revised in recent years as an in-studio variety show like "Human Observation" in the previous life, although Zhou Xiao will still attend every show, but in fact, he rarely cares about the specific production of the show. Most of the time, he just put forward ideas, how to make the show, who to invite is handled by the program team, and as for the location, it is not Zhou Xiao's turn to appear.

Such. This show leaves a lot less time for Zhou Xiao to make zuò, if it is not necessary, Zhou Xiao even needs to spend more than an hour a week to record the part of watching VTR in the studio.

Although there is a lot less time to be in charge of the show. But Zhou Xiao's ability to participate in the show has not decreased in the slightest, Zhou Xiao, who sits in the most critical position of the show all the year round and controls the entire show, after ten years of training, is no less than those big MCs in Japan, and now Zhou Xiao is confident that even if he is asked to make a show with no experience in his previous life, there is no problem.

For example, Zhou Xiao, who is now wandering around in the otaku pile, is very skillful in playing all kinds of small jokes, which makes the audience watching the show in front of the TV very worried about whether he will be discovered by the fans, and at the same time brings a lot of jokes to the show.

After playing for a while, the loudspeaker in the venue played overture, and the appearance of the AKB trio was finally about to begin.

All the meals in the audience stood up excitedly, and started to mix with the music of overture, the current Chinese AKB rice, to say that the technology of playing mix is not very professional, many meals just remember the first paragraph, at most the second section of mix, but fortunately, there is a person wearing a bear puppet on the scene, and the rice from Japan is the leader, and the other Chinese rice people can barely shout down with him.

Especially when shouting to the general, Zhou Xiao also joined in and played with everyone, and the atmosphere was very hot.

After Overture, it was supposed to be the host who appeared on the stage, but this time there was no host, and the three girls walked up directly.

"Hello everyone, we are AKB48!" The three of them appeared in the cheers of the rice as if they could break through the sky, and because Li Chun was there, there was no need to even arrange an interpreter on the spot.

"I'm very happy to be back in China this time, but ...... It's just that it's difficult for the three of us to host this event, and one person also came to today's scene. Li Chun said.

"Oooh oh!?" The rice cooks with questioning voices.

"But...... That person didn't show up in the background just now, and I don't know where to play, so let me look for it...... Where is it...... Where is it...... Yes! Got it! Li Chun put up a pergola and looked for it in the audience, in fact, he didn't see Zhou Xiao at all, and Zhou Xiao didn't go backstage, before Zhou Xiao went to the stage, Li Chun had already seen his clothes and makeup today, which allowed her to find Zhou Xiao in the audience quickly.

"That one! The gentleman with sunglasses, please come up for a moment! Li Chun pointed at Zhou Xiao under the trap and shouted.

"Huh? I!? It's true!? Zhou Xiao pointed at himself, with a surprised look, and the surrounding rice also looked at him in surprise, because he had done special makeup, many people did not find Zhou Xiao's true face.

"Come on!" Looking at Zhou Xiao, who was doing exaggerated actions offstage and had not been exposed at all, Li Chun was a little anxious and didn't dare to call his name, so he had to shout a little coquettishly.

"Huh! Could it be!? Some of the rice seemed to react a little, and looked at Zhou Xiao with his head in disbelief.

Flattered to the stage. Zhou Xiao took the microphone handed over by Li Chun and was still saying, "Eh? Is it really me? But...... I don't know how to host, I'm just a meal! ”

"Since you don't want to admit it yet, then we have only one way...... Li said.

"What's the solution?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Do it!" The girl shouted.

With an order, the two girls behind Zhou Xiao who were also ready stopped Zhou Xiao one left and one right, and Li Chun ran over and ripped off the beard on Zhou Xiao's mouth!

"It hurts! Good! Hurt! Zhou Xiao showed a good reaction skill in front of the meals, in fact, the beard on his lips was ready to be torn off a long time ago, so it was not firmly stained, and Zhou Xiao did not feel any pain when Li Chun tore off his beard.

However, Zhou Xiao still exaggerated, and this exaggeration naturally caused laughter at the scene.

Tear off your beard. was robbed of his sunglasses again, and Zhou Xiao was finally recognized.

The cheers were even louder than the AKB members on stage, and the cheers when they saw AKB were because they saw their idols, and Zhou Xiao was a big star who was well-known in the world, the former may have a chance to see it in the future, but it was not easy for Zhou Xiao to see it.

Zhou Xiao, who made a fuss again, finally became normal, and he began to host the girls' appearances after removing his cross-dressing.

Although Zhou Xiao appeared, it can be said that the people the audience really cares about are still the three girls such as Reina Matsui. And Zhou Xiao didn't mean to grab attention with the three girls, he came to participate in this event for some other goals, first of all, although his appearance was not ready to grab the attention of the girls on the scene, but for the general public and the media. Zhou Xiao's appearance will inevitably cause a lot of traffic and news, which will allow AKB girls to get a lot of attention in China, and in addition, Zhou Xiao's appearance also shows an attitude. This attitude is that he and AKB are one, and it may be difficult for AKB to appear alone in recent years, but with Zhou Xiao, this kind of application will be much easier.

Ten minutes of performance. The three girls sang a total of three songs, and the sincerity of these three songs was very strong, because each song was a complete version, and the rather intense dancing and singing made the girls gasp a little after the performance, and at this time Zhou Xiao appeared on the stage.

"Do you remember the AKB traditions?" Zhou Xiao said on the stage.

"Surprised...... Surprise Announced! The fans immediately understood what Zhou Xiao meant.

"That's right! Surprise Announced! This is the ...... This year's AKB general election will be broadcast live in movie theaters in the magic city! Although there are also live broadcasts on the Internet, it ...... I hope that everyone who comes here in the magic capital can come to participate, the general election is not only a big day for the members, my colleagues also hope that the general election is a happy festival for everyone, AKB dinner people get together to chat and talk, and become friends in reality, it is the best! ”

"Oh oh oh!" For Zhou Xiao's announcement, the on-site meals are the most excited, the Chinese rice that can come here to watch AKB's performance is basically the core of Chinese rice now, and these core meals are also a group of rice groups that do not exclude live activities, and there are a group of people who have money and leisure, for these meals, if they can participate in live activities, it is definitely much better than sitting in front of the computer and watching dryly, it can be said that these people are the fastest group of people to accept the live broadcast of the general election.

Although this day is an extremely important day for China's AKB meal, many meals are excited to stay up all night because of the appearance of the members, but for Zhou Xiao, this matter is just a relatively easy work among his many jobs, and it can even be regarded as a rest-like job, after the appearance of the hosts is completed easily, Zhou Xiao did not even wait for the members who were still doing the show in Shanghai to participate in the show, so he flew back to Japan by plane, he had to do this, Because he has been busy with AKB's work these days, it would be a little inappropriate if he didn't go back to filming, and Zhou Xiao actually owed a lot of filming work for "legalhigh".

Zhou Xiao's TV series in the past two years have a very distinctive feature, the filming of ordinary Japanese dramas can usually shoot one episode a week, which allows the film crew to usually shoot three or four episodes about a month in advance when filming, and they can finish and complete the post-production about a month in advance under a very easy situation, but Zhou Xiao's dramas are different, such as the Japanese dramas broadcast in July. It usually needs to be filmed together with the dramas in April, that is, from March, and others can shoot dramas that can be completed in a week, but Zhou Xiao often has to shoot for a long time.

On the one hand, his dramas in the past two years have been all big investments and productions, and it is more troublesome to shoot or post, on the other hand, he has been delayed by AKB for too much time, and the whole crew will have to take a few days off to let Zhou Xiao run AKB's activities, if it weren't for the appeal of Zhou Xiao's TV series is too high, I am afraid that no one would have been willing to take Zhou Xiao's drama long ago in this way of filming against the industry.

Even if it is this time to enter the group shooting, the whole working time will not be too long, and the general election is coming. Zhou Xiao has only been in the crew for about two weeks at most.

The first thing to face when returning to the crew is the condemnation of the crew members, especially Yui Aragaki.

Zhou Xiao, who knew that he was at a loss, had to redouble his efforts in filming and prepare all kinds of condolences for the crew.

The drama "Legalhigh" tells the story of a super lawyer played by Masato Sakai, and the whole story is witty and interesting, not as strict and serious as common lawyer dramas, and in the series, there are quite a lot of meal scenes, which in China usually don't really prepare a lot of food. If you look closely, you will find that when the actors are performing, they obviously have a large table of chickens, ducks, fish, meat, birds and animals, but they only pay attention to the plate of peanuts in front of them, but the drama "Legalhigh" is different. Every dish in this drama is real, all kinds of Western food, Chinese food, Japanese food, Italian food, Turkish food...... A lot of times, because of the relationship that has to be filmed repeatedly. The crew will even prepare several identical dishes to cope with this kind of problem.

With so many delicious foods, Zhou Xiao is still buying condolences every day, which leads to a result. During the filming of the entire crew, it was basically patting, eating, eating, patting, and eating......

Every time I filmed for a few days, several female characters in the play began to lament that their weight was three kilograms and five kilograms fat, and the most exaggerated was Sakai Masato, because the crew's food was too good, during filming, Sakai Masato's very suitable custom suit at the beginning couldn't be worn, and the crew had to find a tailor to make him a second suit, Sakai Masato himself is quite concerned about this matter, he is a professional actor, weight management is a necessary quality for professional actors, if necessary, if you want to be thin, you can be fat, you can be fat, In his opinion, it is inadmissible to make the entire program group face trouble because of his own fat.

However, the situation of Sakai Masato is still under control, at least this kind of fat has not yet been directed by the crew to revise the script.

Among the genres of Japanese dramas, police, doctors and lawyers should be regarded as three very common types, in fact, Zhou Xiao has rarely filmed these three types of dramas in the past ten years, in addition to romance and other dramas, he has filmed more of a royal drama than these three types, that is, campus dramas, whether it is a student or a teacher.

Because of Zhou Xiao's hobby, in the past ten years, especially in recent years, Japan's three major types of dramas have made considerable progress, and the industry calls this situation the "Zhou Xiao phenomenon", which describes the phenomenon that many producers and planners in the industry avoid Zhou Xiao's area of expertise.

This time Zhou Xiao came to shoot a lawyer drama, which can be said to have caused a wail, many originally planned lawyer dramas and even criminal investigation dramas began to seriously consider whether to change the schedule, everyone is very worried that Zhou Xiao's dramas will steal the audience's ratings, even if it is not at the same time as Zhou Xiao, everyone will have similar worries, because generally speaking, there will only be one drama of the same type in a quarter, but lawyer dramas are a very special type, lawyer dramas are difficult to write, and authors who are not good at this aspect If you are not careful, you will write a lawyer drama into a criminal investigation drama.

Zhou Xiao's ability is naturally nothing to worry about, his popularity and appeal are also enough, even if Zhou Xiao writes very badly, maybe he can still lock the ratings champion of the current quarter, but it may be a little bad in terms of declining popularity, but everyone also knows that Zhou Xiao is not good at this kind of drama, if Zhou Xiao really accidentally wrote the lawyer drama into a criminal investigation drama, then the criminal investigation bureau of other TV stations will not broadcast it? The ratings and attention were killed in seconds, and the famous artists and screenwriters would rather not make money this quarter than risk smashing their reputation to confront Zhou Xiao head-on.

For a while, the Japanese entertainment industry was in a hurry, and many other TV stations other than Japanese TV even gave up their plans to compete for ratings with Zhou Xiao's dramas, and put documentaries or programs focusing on the ratings of the elderly at the same time, intending to compete for ratings in this way or at least the loss is not so obvious.

In this state, he immersed himself in filming for two weeks, and when Zhou Xiao came out of the crew again, the time had come to June 2010, and the single "Ponytail and Hair Circle" had been released for a few days, and the general election was about to begin. (To be continued......)

PS: Originally, it felt like the book was coming to an end, so the style wasn't going to be modified, but since you don't like it, I'm going to try to modify the style from 562 onwards, increase the members and the protagonist's plot, and reduce the things you don't like. Die and die.
