The episode on the NBA field has become the only place where Zhou Xiao and AKB have attracted attention, and the negotiations between Qiu Yuankang have completely failed, in New York, Paris and Cannes, Qiu Yuankang has taken Zhou Xiao to earn a lot of places, and has met many people, Zhou Xiao is also quite enthusiastic and serious to work hard with Qiu Yuankang, but the effect is almost zero, most people in European and American entertainment companies shake their heads again and again after watching AKB's performance, they don't think that this form of artist has any possibility of becoming popular.

In the eyes of most Europeans and Americans, they don't like this kind of "star development" game, and AKB's group of idols doesn't have any attraction, singing is not good, dancing is not good, as for music, it is ordinary, how can anyone like this kind of thing?

And most importantly, you don't make any money at all, it's been four years since AKB was established, what have you done in those four years? At the beginning, the investment was huge, tens of millions of dollars, and in the end, it was just barely losing money and not making money, and any investor could allow you to lose so much and lose for several years without seeing results?

In fact...... European and American investors are right, if Zhou Xiao is a European or American, I am afraid it is impossible to accept this kind of proposal, Akimoto Yasusu came to lobby at this time, the most critical problem is that AKB has not seen too much momentum to set off popularity and make crazy money, at this point in time, AKB is still just a new idol group in Japan, with some potential, how can investors trust you?

Yasu Akimoto, who regretted returning to China, had to admit that Zhou Xiao's opinion was right, there was indeed no soil for AK to grow in Europe and the United States, but he also had question marks about whether AKB could become popular in East Asia, and even in his opinion, what if AKB grew up in East Asia? The popularity of economically underdeveloped regions will help the world epidemic by no means as simple as the culture of developed regions is tilted towards underdeveloped regions, for example, Europe and the United States are the highest. This time, the rest of Southeast Asia is a little lower, and AKB is like water, it is very difficult to go up, but if it flows downward, even if it is successful, it is nothing more than a matter of four words, and it does not make much sense.

Zhou Xiao can't say that he completely disagrees with Akimotoyasu's view, and the development of AKB in East Asia is indeed a matter of course. Because AKB, which came back from Europe and the United States, focused on the development of Japan and did not dig a canal at all, like the development in China, which was almost completely spontaneous among the people, completely from the underground, and born without the slightest publicity, to be honest, if someone summed up the popularity of AKB in the mainland, this popularity is definitely a miracle.

"Naturally? That's true. "Faced with Yasushi Akimoto's statement. Zhou Xiao also nodded in agreement, it is indeed a matter of course in China.

"But...... Have you ever thought that you can do this without a canal at all, what if we had dug a canal before? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Dig a ditch? But that's all we have for water. Akimoto said.

"That's why we need to dig another well in the area. Europe and the United States are deserts, and there is no water soil there, so AKB can't grow there, but in East Asia. In this place where Japan is separated by water, AKB has already been able to do it, and we have left a ditch where the water flows. Once the well is dug and the water comes out, even if it is local water, our goal has been achieved. Zhou Xiao said.

It was impossible for Yasu Akimoto to be persuaded so easily, but Zhou Xiao didn't care about this, and AKB's popularity in China and even other parts of East and Southeast Asia was about to begin. On December 17, 2009, the video of the so-called "Tokyo 20 School Flowers" was uploaded on ACFUN, and after that, AKB's concerts and variety show videos began to sweep the entire website, and then Baidu AKB Tieba, Maeda and Takahashi Minami's forums and various subtitle groups began to enter people's attention......

It can be said that the development of AKB in China was born and grown, and even Zhou Xiao really noticed AKB back then, all from this moment.

The members of the AKB certainly don't know that their fame is quietly growing in another country that they have almost never noticed, and they now have only one concern, and that is the end-of-year Red and White Song Party.

From the Red and White Song Party to TBS's New Year's Eve program, AKB and the vast majority of the AKB Group members will spend many years in the process of catching up with the event for many years after this year.

In Japan, though, it's not a big deal.

Chinese civilization has an obsession with going home for the New Year, and this obsession has given birth to the Spring Festival, the largest collective migration activity of mankind, but for the Japanese, not being able to go home for the New Year because of work is more of a regret than something to care about.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Japan is so small, and the transportation is also developed, so you can see it when you want to, so there is no such culture.

At the end of the year, AKB still has a lot of activities to do, such as the handshake party, and while the single CD sales are getting higher and higher, the members have begun to feel the pressure of shaking hands, and now the number of people who come to AKB's handshake party has exceeded 50,000 people each time, so one day is no longer enough to shake hands with the members, so AKB has been busy shaking hands for many weekends after the release of "RIVER".

In December, while the members were busy shaking hands and starring in TV shows, Zhou Xiao also had some time to engage in drama, and the first thing he did was to get the script of "ATARU" out.

As a new series that is expected to be staged next year, the importance of "ATARU" is very high.

Now Zhou Xiao is leading the two dramas that have come out of this production, "SPEC" mainly describes superpowers such as Erika Toda from the Japanese police system, and "Antang Ki Qì Man" depicts Takuya Kimura, a swaying person who seems to be a human future and a story of confrontation with the enemy, these two stories are independent of each other but also have their own connections.

The next "ATARU" is about a man who has returned from a foreign country and has communication difficulties, but also has a special talent.

Each of the three dramas in the previous life has an independent story, and now Zhou Xiao wants to unify them together, the story can be calculated separately, but the positioning of some actors needs to be revised. Originally, in these three dramas, each character in each drama has a position, which plot of which person is responsible for showing wisdom, which plot is responsible for showing ability, which plot is responsible for showing will, and so on.

But since the three stories are to be united, there must be a unified worldview. It's like the Avengers, there are near and far, there are tanks and outputs, there are machines and superpowers, characters or something. It's just as important in this kind of episode.

And in these three plays, Zhou Xiao also took this into account when making zuò, who will be at the forefront when the fight starts, who will win with wisdom, and even the balance of the super energy system, Zhou Xiao has already arranged.

There is no problem with the schedule of the starring actor of "ATARU", because in the planning stage of "SPEC", the approximate time and story of the drama have been determined.

Now, preparations for the play are already in full swing. replaced Zhou Xiao as the director, and it was Director Ti Xingyan who created three scripts with Zhou Xiao and also made a great contribution.

This director is also very powerful, and the original "SPEC" was directed by him. can be the most suitable person to take over Zhou Xiao's work.

As for the start of filming of the series, it will be in early 2010 next year, and the broadcast time may be put into October 2010.

The July schedule of "Antang Machine Qì People", if under normal circumstances. It's okay for "ATARU" to be scheduled in July, but unfortunately in actual operation, it is difficult for such a film to have a long preparation period in just one year. After filming, the dramas that have to be produced for a long time with special effects are broadcast under the condition of ensuring quality, so from July to October, the time schedule of the previous year and one quarter can finally catch up.

As for the plan for 2011, it is not a drama but a movie invested by AZX and Japanese TV.

The film will bring together the main characters of the previous "SPEC", "Ando Kiqìren" and "ATARU", of course, the three main characters are the three main stars of the film, Erika Toda, Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai will appear in the same film for a Japanese version of Hero Smash Bros.

And the one that attracted the most attention is, of course, Kimura and Masahiro Nakai's SMAP co-starring.

In SMAP, Zhongju usually takes the host route, and her hosting ability is almost the top among Japanese artists of his age, and she will definitely become a big artist in the future, but this does not mean that Zhongju can't act, Jennis's artist, especially Zhongju, who has been an artist for so long, has no problem if she wants to shoot a good film.

But Nakai and Kimura appear in the same drama? If there is no Zhou Xiao, this matter may be very low, just like Kimura and Fukuyama Masaharu will hardly act together, although his reputation in the TV drama circle is not as powerful as Kimura, but Nakaju's status in the Japanese entertainment industry is no worse than Kimura, it is no problem to say that the two are artists of the same level, and even said that after the end of the era of Kimura's 30% ratings, Nakaju is more powerful than Kimura It is no problem, such two super artists, It is already very powerful to be able to do some SMAP work for a long time without separation, and it is actually a huge waste of resources to put them together in addition to SMAP.

is still the same sentence, in the current Japanese entertainment industry, only Zhou Xiao can knead any two artists together without any scruples.

Because strictly speaking, if Zhou Xiao is evaluated as an "Oscar-level" director, coupled with his acting company boss and billionaire status, any artist in Japan is far behind Zhou Xiao.

Time flies quickly in the busy preparations, in a blink of an eye, 2009 is about to pass, on December 8th, AKB held an anniversary performance as usual, and, since it is a rather controversial anniversary performance, how can it be missing the traditional skills of Zhou Xiao's brother, at the end of the performance, Zhou Xiao appeared in the voice of the audience's expectation, he announced: "AKB Group will set up a second unit, the name of this team is ...... Corridor running team.

And the most talked about members of the corridor team are...... Haruka Nakagawa, Natsumi Hirashima, Aika Tada, Ami Sato and ...... Kumi Yagami! ”

In the previous life, the corridor running team was a regular team led by Mayu Watanabe, but in this life, the corridor running team has become a team like the "Ladybug Seven" in the later life. This team, which lacks a leader like Mayu, is destined to be inferior to the corridor team in Zhou Xiao's previous life in terms of sales, but this team is better than the average team role, Tada, Sato and Yagami Kumi will take turns to take the center position of the new corridor team.

Zhou Xiao's expectations for the sales of the new corridor team are actually not high, even when AKB is the most popular, these five girls may not be able to sell 100,000 singles, the new corridor team represents an expectation, looking forward to these five people can come out of a better way without relying on Mayu Watanabe.

In the previous life, the AKB team's main purpose was actually to collect money and distribute power, plus the influence of the firm. will form teams such as the Odagi detachment, the Ota detachment and the Watanabe detachment, but Zhou Xiao does not fully agree with this kind of detachment, yes, such a detachment does make a lot of money, and it can also allow those members who are not particularly famous to make their debut, but in addition, the squad has almost no help for AKB itself and even not very popular members.

Like No3B's Minami Minegishi, Aika Tada of the corridor team. Even Noyet's Kitahara Riei, although such a member was able to make his debut, he will always stand behind the core members, and the team will contribute some income to them. There was almost no other help, even in terms of income, a member who didn't write lyrics and didn't even play a central part of the group. Again, they don't get much money coming in.

Therefore, in this life, Zhou Xiao abandoned the practices of AKB in his previous life.

That's right, no3b is still no3b. Because this team is the most suitable one among all the AKB teams, the three girls are very appropriate in terms of voice, personality and role, some are responsible for variety shows, some are responsible for beauty, and some are responsible for singing, such a complete and pure team, Zhou Xiao has no reason to break up, but the other teams are different.

The current corridor team, Zhou Xiao's expectations are still very high, Tada Aika, Amina Sato and Yagami Kumi, these three girls actually have considerable potential, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, as long as they don't get fat and don't infighting, they have a considerable chance to go on, and the key to letting this team go on is in Hirashima Natsumi and Tada Aika, Hirashima Natsumi will be the undoubted captain of the five-person team, although in the song position, Xiao Natsumi may be difficult to compete with the three in front, But she must use her seniority to suppress a girl like Aika Tada who has her own ideas and maintain the harmony of the whole team.

And the most worrying thing for Zhou Xiao in this team is Yagami Kumi, the eldest junior among the five people is likely to become the center of the team, Zhou Xiao is very worried that the girl will be bullied, or he does not have the confidence to take on such a heavy responsibility.

So after announcing the establishment of the squad, Zhou Xiao arranged a job for the five people that all the members were very envious of.

At AKB's fourth-year performance, Zhou Xiao, who announced the news of the team, continued: "In January next year, there will be a title program about the five members of the corridor team on the late night file of the Japanese TV! As for the time...... It's Wednesday night at 25 o'clock! ”

"Oh oh oh!" The rice was even more excited.

A title program is given to a small team, and this title program is obviously the kind that lasts for a quarter, just like the "Ladybug Seven" formed by Zhou Xiao in his previous life and the title program of this team.

The fourth anniversary of the performance on December 8 has passed.

The current AKB is very different from Zhou Xiao's previous life.

Mai Oshima is still in the team, Li Chun and Airi Suzuki have two Hs! P members also joined it, but compared to joining and staying, there are more members who are not in the team at this moment, Matsubara Natsumi and other members moved to A&E, Nakata Chichi, Nozaku and other members did not join here at all, the current AKB, there is no doubt that it is much more refined than the AKB in the previous life, and the addition of part-time members and the reduction of graduate student members have made 90% of the members of the entire team members members who have really walked out of their own path in the future, such AKB, finally relying on their own efforts, It's time to be on the red and white stage.

Especially Mai Oshima, who graduated in April in her previous life, but in this life she got the opportunity to appear in red and white, Zhou Xiao even talked to a girl recently, she has now completely and completely lost the idea of graduation, anyone can see that she is about to board the red and white AKB, there is an incomparably bright future, and if Mai Oshima graduates again in a year or two, she at that time will not be comparable to her who graduated in 09 in her previous life.

It's another early morning, Zhou Xiao and the members got on the bus to NHKHALL, the time has come to December 30, 2009, the next two days, the rehearsal of the Red and White Song Club will be in full swing, this Zhou Xiao's brother once presided over the stage, and now the girls finally came up.
