Chapter 380: The AZX Music Department is established

The biggest difference between Zhou Xiao's AKB and Akimoto Yasu's AKB is that Zhou Xiao AKB has enough funds to do what Akimoto Yasushi AKB has always wanted to do, such as after the second phase of students are on the right track, the learning and improvement course arrangements for AKB members have also been determined.

This job was planned by Zhou Xiao when he founded AKB, dance, acting and singing teachers were hired and began to teach AKB members, and AKB members can choose their own courses, such as Itano Tomomi, Minami Mine Kishi and other girls chose dance, Masuda Yuka, Akimoto Saika and others chose singing, and the acting course has become the most popular and most chosen course, including Yuko Oshima and Atsuko Maeda, nearly half of the girls have chosen this course, Even some Mariko Shinoda who originally wanted to take other routes, such as the modeling route, also chose the acting course because the teacher of the modeling route was not in place.

Since they have chosen acting courses, weekly classes are essential, and compared with ordinary acting schools, the advantage that AKB's girls have is that they have a well-known TV series and film director in Japan as producers and investors, so when Zhou Xiao was filming, the girls had many opportunities to come to the scene in person, feel the atmosphere of filming, and also see how their predecessors acted.

Such an opportunity is very rare for girls, ...... Perhaps for Yuko Oshima, she had been exposed to this kind of work many years ago, but for other girls, it was indeed rare.

The girls on the set deepened their admiration for Zhou Xiao after seeing Zhou Xiao's various work, because they saw how Zhou Xiao commanded the entire set like a king, everyone revolved around him, everyone obeyed his requirements, and Zhou Xiao commanded the actors in the worship of the girls, filmed beautiful episodes, followed the cameraman, and watched the pictures taken by Zhou Xiao on the monitor. The girls' eyes are full of stars, and in their opinion, Zhou Xiao, who is a director, is too handsome.

Although he is a director, Zhou Xiao also has a lot of time to chat with almost the girls during the filming, the shooting of the TV series is similar to the movie, and other props and other makeup and other actors, even if the crew is well coordinated, unless the director has to pay attention to everything, otherwise the director has a lot of free time.

In terms of acting, Zhou Xiao actually has nothing to teach them. Because most of them have never acted in Zhou Xiao themselves, he even suspects that Yuko Oshima is much better than him.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao can only tell them what needs to be paid attention to on the set and shooting.

In a place like the set, Yuko Oshima is almost completely at home, and there are many things in filming, without Zhou Xiao and teachers, she can popularize science to others on the side.

Yuko Oshima's cousin Xiàn also made Zhou Xiao very appreciative, he praised the girl twice and asked: "Don't you need to take what the acting teacher teaches now?" ”

"Nope. I can learn a lot in class now. Yuko Oshima hurriedly said, but what Zhou Xiao heard in her tone was not a denial but just a kind of modesty.

"There's no need to take classes here all the time, I know what you're capable of. The course is relatively simple, it is good to practice singing during this time, your goal should be a comprehensive artist and there is no need to go on the same road. Zhou Xiao said that his words actually have a deep meaning, Yuko Oshima finally became an actress in the history that Zhou Xiao experienced. She will also be on variety shows, but not much, which is actually very regrettable, and relatively speaking. Yuko Oshima actually has some weaknesses as an actor, such as her height, which makes it difficult to play with male artists.

Therefore, although she has just entered the entertainment industry, Zhou Xiao is also deliberately influencing Yuko Oshima's thoughts, he hopes that she will not only go on the road of actresses, but also go to singing, so that the company can arrange more diverse jobs for her in the future.

The filming went on until the evening, however, the speed of the shooting was also very fast, when Zhou Xiao shouted "cut" for the last time, the main shooting of the first episode of "Marriage Proposal" was also completed, and it can wait for the broadcast after editing, as for the test screening? Now Zhou Xiao's works don't need any test screenings for a long time, for Zhou Xiao's works, the TV station is very relieved, in their opinion, even if the ratings of the whole of Japan are at a very low level, Zhou Xiao's works can also achieve quite good results.

After the filming of the main work of the TV series was completed, some of the band members who had just arrived began to join the group, and after clearing the filming venue, Zhou Xiao and several main actors and band members began to shoot the MV in the hall.

Zhou Xiao is about to forget how long it has been since he has released a musical work.

Singles earn a lot, especially all kinds of copyright and royalties, many of Zhou Xiao's works still receive a lot of copyright fees every month, exaggeration to say, Zhou Xiao's many singles contribute a lot of copyright fees every month is enough for him to raise a good girl outside.

And the reason why Zhou Xiao can't sing a song is very simple, singing or something...... At most, he can only become a good singer, which will not help him himself or his AKB plans, so Zhou Xiao simply won't do it.

The reason why I can sing this time is because of the ending song of the new film, "Tomorrow is a Sunny Day" originally sung by Yoshiyu Kuwata happened to be a guitar song, so Zhou Xiao simply sang it himself.

In the drama "Marriage Proposal", excellent music is definitely the focus, especially the two songs "Little Love" and "Tomorrow is a Sunny Day", which are simply competing to sing after the broadcast, this time, both songs have become Zhou Xiao's works, and it is expected that in addition to sales, various copyright use and other expenses will also skyrocket.

As for the sales of new songs...... has not released a single for many years, some people may expect Zhou Xiao to get another 1.8 million sales, but Zhou Xiao himself does not think so, in his opinion, the habits of Japanese fans listening to songs have changed dramatically, in the past, the Japanese listened to songs and bought CDs, and now the Japanese can hear songs everywhere, why buy CDs, and if you want to operate the sales again, there is only one way, that is, to reverse this habit of the Japanese, so that their habit becomes that buying CDs is not for listening to songs. CD sales can be reinvented......

After recording a few songs in the studio in an extreme way, Zhou Xiao threw the guitar away and went home with the company, he didn't even bother to sing, let alone record the MV, just sing and fool around in front of the camera.

After the filming of a TV series, Zhou Xiao had a lot more free time, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurriedly ran to the AKB theater and announced one thing on stage again.

This is the beginning of the third phase of AKB48's student audition. On November 23rd, the second selection will be held!

After announcing this incident, Zhou Xiao was still in a trance for a while, and in a blink of an eye, AKB was about to be established for a year, in fact, a lot of things have happened in AKB this year, especially for AKB girls, there are still a lot of ups and pains in the first year of their idol careers. And something to be happy about.

Under Zhou Xiao's intervention, the communication between Group A and Group K, which should have been very opposite at this time, was also quite good, and there were more exchanges between the two sides, especially the four members who moved from Group A to Group K. Cheng is to become a bond of general existence zài.

Originally, even if they moved, most of the four members got together, and the latter simply stayed with the members of Group A during team activities. But after a long time, the four members themselves understood that this was not possible, so they began to gradually reach out to the other members of Group K. I opened my heart.

Among them, what makes Zhou Xiao happiest is that Chinese and Western cuisine has become the one who has changed the most among the four people.

Nakanishi Ri Cai had a good relationship with Takahashi Minami when she was in group A, and because of her personality and personal image creation, she always appeared in a very intellectual, like a big sister or even a mother's image, which made her whole person look very gentle.

In the eyes of the rest of the operation group, Zhou Xiao's actions are unreasonable, because any discerning person can see that there is Akimoto Caijia and Miyazawa Sae leading, and Group K will already walk on the route of vitality and vitality, such a group, after entering the Zhongxi cuisine, it is obvious that the Chinese and Western cuisine will not adapt to the soil and water, and Zhongxi itself is a character that everyone thinks has great potential, and can even appear on the CD cover, what does Zhou Xiao think, would you look down on this girl who seems to have great potential, exclude her from the plan, and use all kinds of ways to suppress her, and must place her in a place that is not suitable for her survival?

Other people's doubts, the pitiful gaze of Zhongxili cuisine every time they saw Zhou Xiao, and the incomprehension and even attack of the rice, Zhou Xiao endured this qiē and silently suppressed Zhongxili cuisine.

Zhou Xiao even thought of Ami Sato, after this fourth-term student was treated unfairly by Yasu Akimoto, Yasu Akimoto himself should have suffered similar attacks and puzzlements.

So, since Qiu Yuankang can bear it and come over like a person who has nothing to do, Zhou Xiao feels that he can too, the departure of Zhongxili in his previous life proves that her popularity does not show enough reason for the operation to force her, in this case, as long as Zhou Xiao's suppression waits, after a while, her popularity should slowly decline.

In addition to announcing the third issue, Zhou Xiao has another work to do that is related to the entire company and even the Japanese music scene.

He prepares...... Start a music production company!

Yasushi Akimoto's akb,The music distribution work was originally Sony's subsidiary DefSTARRecords,Yasu Akimoto has a pretty good relationship with Sony's boss.,But whether it's Yasusu Akimoto or Sony,Essentially businessmen,Businessmen are to make money.,AKB lost a lot of money from 2005 to 2007 after its establishment.,So that Sony finally lost interest in continuing to support.,Finally, a gloomy termination.。

After Sony, akb taught KingRecords how to style the songs and gradually began to take off.

Now that AKB is in his hands, does Zhou Xiao still need to do that? The answer, of course, is no, the wealthy Zhou Xiao only took out a part of the sales of "Minecraft", which is enough to establish a qualified music production company.

Of course, the various elements of this kind of company will definitely not be able to catch up with mature large companies for a while, but with Zhou Xiao here, and there is enough time, Zhou Xiao does not believe that he can't accumulate enough creators in the company's qualifications.

Zhou Xiao wants to open a music company, who is the most entangled and struggling person? Surprisingly, the person who struggled the most was actually Nagato Daiyuki.

This boss of Being has actually talked to Zhou Xiao about something a long time ago, and his idea is very simple. Being has now begun to gradually transform into a real estate developer, there is nothing left after years of loss in music work, to say that there are no resources, for example, B'z is a super resource that even if you don't do activities, there are still a lot of copyright royalties and sales, and you are making money every day, but B'z is also very difficult for being, as the company's top pillars, they themselves hold a lot of shares of being, and their own sales. In fact, most of them go into their own pockets and have nothing to do with being.

In addition to the second elder, although there are many other copyrights, being is struggling on the road of music creation, after 2000, the singers who debuted by being have almost no success, even if Zhou Xiao's success, in fact, it has not much to do with being.

So, Nagato Daiyuki wondered, can he sell part of being's music work to Zhou Xiao and Zhou Xiao's azx?

For this mention of Nagato Daiyuki. Zhou Xiao did not express any interest, the company was big and troublesome for him, like a bloated behemoth, and the money that would be spent on buying it would take years of regular operation to recover. This is naturally a good long-term benefit for a company that is not enterprising, but for Zhou Xiao's AZX, the company now has enough time and energy to do more and more meaningful work, so why take up so much time, energy and even liquidity in this kind of work. With this time, AZX can get a higher return on other things.

But. Although he is not interested in Nagato Daiyuki's mentions, Zhou Xiao is more interested in becoming a partner of being and receiving some of the tangible and intangible assets of being, such as...... Sister Sakai Izumi, and other musicians, especially musicians who have the ability to make music.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and being has a lot of such backlog contracts in his hands, if these musicians can be absorbed into the company, even if they can't contribute any excellent works, at least in the future, AKB's music teachers don't have to look for them in other companies.

This kind of thing to start a company, many people will like to make some names with connotations, but Zhou Xiao is not this kind of person, in his own words, he is very lazy to work this kind of thing, so far, AZX's companies, except for AKZ is related to Akimoto Yasu, other companies basically add a function directly after the name of AZX, such as AZX's network department, the established branch is AZXnetwork, the game department is AZXgame, and now it's the turn of the music company, AZX's music company is naturally AZXmusic......

Under the AZXmusic company, the current musicians include Zhou Xiao, AKB48, the head of the biological unit and others, as well as a few small musicians who moved from being in the early stage, and in addition to these people, Zhou Xiao's first target is naturally Sister Sakai Spring, this sister's agency is signed in her own company's name, which is convenient and can help her avoid taxes reasonably, and the music contract, Sakai Spring Water has been signed in being all year round, but now Zhou Xiao's new company has opened, Sakai Izumi, who is no different from a family, will naturally move his contract over, as for being? Moving Sakai Izumi, a high-quality musician, to his side is the most important bargaining chip for Zhou Xiao to accept part of the garbage contract under being, and without paying her, it is impossible for being to convince AZX to accept some big contracts for nothing.

AZXmusic's first work after the opening was the release of AKB48's new single and AKB's third single "I Want to See You".

Historically, Yasushi Akimoto's AKB also found Sony's subsidiary as a distribution company after releasing two singles underground, and now Zhou Xiao's music company has been established to release singles, and it is not too late to do so.

But Zhou Xiao is also very clear that the newly established AZX music department cannot do the distribution work as perfect as a large company, whether it is distribution, publicity or production, the AZX music department still has a long way to go, and Zhou Xiao and AZX still need a certain amount of time to learn and adapt to this work. And the good news is that AZX has AKB48 as a group for them to practice, and between now and 2007, '08, AKB's sales are expected to be quite sluggish, as long as AZX can learn what they need to do before "Diamond Loud".

As for the music works of mature singers such as Zhou Xiao and the head of the biological unit, most of these people's contracts are actually still with other companies, and they must wait for the end of the contract there before they can sign back to the company again and become a complete AZX artist.
