Zhou Xiao's AKB in his previous life didn't have any special members, the reason why there was no one is because AKB members' company AKS basically only has AKB and its group members and no other artists, but Zhou Xiao's current AZX is different, AZX is a normal economic company, in addition to being famous, the company has also signed a lot of other artists, large and small, these artists...... Is it possible to be a special member of the AKB?

In her previous life, Keiko Kitagawa joined Momo-colored Clover as a special member to participate in a special project for an advertisement, since Momoko can add one person to five people, among so many people in AKB, it is a very good idea to add a special member to come in because of any project occasionally, right?

And in the early stage, the special members who joined may be to help AKB become famous, such as Miyazaki Aoi XAKB48, Horikita Maki XAKB48, which sound very tempting and interesting ideas, and in the later stage, after AKB becomes famous, such a combination with daily exposure can feed back the less famous members of the company, as long as the relationship between AKB members and special members is maintained, don't make a noise, it should be able to control the situation very well, right?

Ozaki Nana temporarily joined AKB to finally help the team mix up the period before the New Year, Zhou Xiao on the 31st did not attend any activities but returned to his home in Tokyo, at home, Zhou Xiao and three women began to prepare food in the morning, and the four of them prepared until the evening, made a big table of meals, and ate a beautiful meal, which is considered to be the end of the year.

As for what happened in the last hours of the year, only the four of them know.

After the New Year, he rested for two days, and on January 3, Zhou Xiao once again devoted himself to endless work, this time he appeared on the set, and "How to Steal the Key" is finally about to start filming.

And in this shooting, it shows the difficulty of making movies while being an idol maker.

Zhou Xiaogang entered the group. After two days of shooting, only three or five minutes of footage, the company's fatal serial phone call came.

"Boss, the AKB voting results are out, and the most popular song is "Cherry Blossom Petals"!"

"Really!? Then go burn it! Zhou Xiaodao.

"So boss, do you want to shoot the song MV?" The staff member continued to ask.

"Shoot! How can you not shoot, you have to remember that AKB can't lose anything MV! Zhou Xiao said.

AKB is indeed like this, and the MV has always been very good.

"The script of the MV and the selection of the director ......"

"I'll get in touch later, and see if I can find someone." Zhou Xiao said.

Hung up the phone of the AKZ staff. Zhou Xiao made a new call to another person.

"Sister Nagatakoto, long time no see." After the person on the other side of the phone picked up the phone, Zhou Xiao said.

That's right, he called this person called Nagata Qin, who was the director of Zhou Xiao's first screenwriting work.

As the director of Zhou Xiao's first work, Nagata Qin can be regarded as half of Zhou Xiao's teacher in film shooting, so Zhou Xiao also attaches great importance to her, although there are few other collaborations in the past few days, the contact between the two has never been broken.

"Xiao Zhou Xiao, are you so busy and still have time to call me?" Nagata asked.

"Sister. I'm here to send you a job this time. Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"Oh? So good? But let's say it first, let me be an assistant director or something, just don't let me shoot your scene. Nagata asked.

"Why?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Isn't it embarrassing to shoot your scene!" Nagata Kotomichi.

"That'...... What about the music video for the song? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Oh? What do you mean ......? ”

"That's right, the first underground single released by the group I produced zuò. Do you have time to shoot a music video? Zhou Xiao asked.

"If it's just a single MV, it's fine, but it's just an underground single, do you need to shoot a MV?" Nagata asked.

"MV is a job that I take very seriously, that's why I'm looking for you." Zhou Xiao said.

"I can't help you. Did you make the script or something? Nagata asked.

"Not yet, if you're interested, you can make your own, I won't interfere." Zhou Xiao said.

"Huh? May I? Nagata asked. Directors who have their own ideas always want to make their own things. It's better to be a screenwriter, director, and investor.

"Of course, it's no problem, but my requirements are also very strict, and I must make something new, even if it's weird and awkward, but it can't be without novelty." Zhou Xiao said.

"Okay, let me think about it, I'll give you a good idea." Nagata said.

"Then please!" Zhou Xiao said.

I just hung up Nagata Koto's phone and solved the very important MV problem, and the call from AKZ came again.

"Boss, Mr. Akimoto has done a lot of work on the new single, and has found several opportunities for live performances, should we attend?"

Zhou Xiao was very upset when he heard this, he said: "Didn't I say that I can decide a qiē without being in Teacher Qiuyuan, why do you still come to ask me, let me ask Teacher Qiuyuan!" ”

After Zhou Xiao said this, he finally stopped a little, at least he wouldn't find him for anything about AKB, and even in AKB's second investigation, Mariko Shinoda won the title of the cutest girl in the café with an absolute advantage, and Zhou Xiao didn't participate at all.

On January 18, Yasushi Akimoto approached Shinoda and asked, "You have participated in the AKB audition, are you still interested?" If you're interested, and you can practice your dance steps in 4 days, I'll let you join. ”

Then, on January 22, amid the exclamations of the audience in the theater, this woman with a tall figure and a good personality officially appeared on the stage. For this matter, Zhou Xiao, who has been a media person for five years, is naturally reluctant to let go when he has enough media resources, and after the company's people chose Yasushi Shinoda to join AKB, Zhou Xiao said smoothly, since this is the case, then try to make a "flash mob trip" program about café girls becoming AKB's main selection!

Under Zhou Xiao's order, the staff of AZX began to run to Akihabara to shoot Shinoda image material before calling, and Zhou Xiao took a day to shoot the scene of the assault on Shinoda and the part of the interview where Yasushi Akimoto chose her to enter AKB as the program video, as for most of the rest of the work and even other hosting work. was thrown by Zhou Xiao to Black Maynaise and other staff members of AZX in one go.

The performance on the 22nd also caused quite a stir in the AKB meal, and in the eyes of outsiders, Shinoda became a girl who was favored by Yasushi Akimoto and single-handedly entered AKB.

Only Shinoda herself in the world knows that Zhou Xiao had given her a DVD of the performance as early as last year.

But people in the world are not stupid, especially some extremely smart people, after Zhou Xiao returned to the theater again and saw Yasu Akimoto, the other party pulled Zhou Xiao aside with a mysterious smile and asked, "Mariko Shinoda ...... Have you already arranged it? ”

"Arrange what?" Zhou Xiao smiled with a pure face.

"What do you say? I still wondered why Shinoda learned dance so quickly, so I asked Xia Zhengong for this. She admitted that unless she was the type who learned to dance super fast, she couldn't dance all the songs so well. ”

"Shinoda is so powerful? I don't know yet. Zhou Xiao said.

"You treat me as a fool, you see her look like a layman, if she hadn't been secretly practicing for I don't know how long, how could she learn so quickly, and I only gave her four days, and when I saw her come to the performance four days later, I couldn't see a little fatigue on her face. On the contrary, it seems that he has recuperated for this day, is this something that a layman who has just studied for four days can do? ”

"Uh......" Zhou Xiao hesitated.

"You don't admit it yet, do you? Then I ask you, why is there so much video material about Shinoda left? Yasu Akimoto asked.

"A lot?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course, there are many, and even the videos of some of the selected members can't compare to this number! There is a video clip of Shinoda handing out flyers outside. We were able to find a three-camera recording !! Three seats! It's just a café waiter handing out flyers, you've been thinking about keeping this for a long time and waiting until now, right!?

I, Yasu Akimoto, have been doing TV and media all my life, but I didn't expect that one day I would become your kid's gun! Akimoto said with some irony.

"Uh...... It's a bit inappropriate if it's all me. Zhou Xiao said.

"If you're not suitable, I'm suitable? Don't forget that I still have a hemp at home! Akimoto said. His wife's name is Masako Takai, and the pronunciation of Mariko is actually a little different. But as a homophonic joke is enough.

"It's just a member, if Sister Ma Sizi is worried, I'll go over and explain it myself." Zhou Xiao said.

"But seriously. Do you really want to take her ...... Become a lover? Akimoto said.

"What? No, no, no, you misunderstood, I really think she's also suitable for AKB, although singing and dancing are not the best, but these things can be made up for by others, otherwise why would our group make such a big deal, isn't it because the group can accommodate a lot of singing and dancing may not be enough to be an idol, but by mistake there are people who have a good idol, I feel like she is such a person. Zhou Xiao explained.

"Okay, I agree with you, but you really don't want to take her?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"I don't want to! It's not as complicated as I thought! At least...... At least not for now! Zhou Xiao said.

Yasu Akimoto's Mimi eyes flashed with the light of "I knew you would be like this".

At the end of January 06, Zhou Xiao finally found another day in the busy film shooting, this day was January 25th, Zhou Xiao came to the AKB theater as usual, and this time, after the performance in the theater, he took the stage again.

AKB's meals also gradually figured out that if some things of the team need to be announced, they will be announced by the operation at the end of the performance, and this person will try to be Zhou Xiao if there is no accident, unless he really can't spare time, he will be replaced by Uncle Inoue.

However, today's announcement of Zhou Xiao is a little different from usual, when it was announced today, the girls on the stage did not leave immediately but stood behind Zhou Xiao.

"Good evening, everyone, are you satisfied with today's performance?" Zhou Xiao's appearance caused a commotion, and he first said a greeting.

"It's beautiful! It's exciting! The diners below shouted.

"That's good, then here, allow me to announce something." Zhou Xiao said.

"Oh??" The rice guys shouted for face.

"First of all, the first thing that most of you here may have felt is that since December 8 last year. For the first time since AKB48's debut, our theater has ...... It's full! Zhou Xiaodao.

"Oh!!!" On and off the stage, the idols and the rice were all excitedly screaming, the 250-person theater was full after more than a month, it didn't sound like there was anything to show off, but to this point, the operation and the girls were really working very hard, although Zhou Xiao relied on the publicity on TV to get better attention to AKB than the previous Akimoto Yasu, but there are not many people who are really interested in coming to Akihabara to watch the performance, compared to the previous life. He only reached a full seat about half a month ahead of schedule.

Zhou Xiao on the stage continued: "A full seat is the first thing, and the other thing is ...... I announce that the first round of review of AKB48's second phase of selection starts today! Applications will be accepted until February 12th, and on February 19th, we will conduct a second screening, and on February 26th, we will conduct a final examination! ”

"Oh!!" The rice is naturally very happy, because there will be new idols to support, but the girls behind Zhou Xiao have mixed feelings in the face of this news. On the one hand, now counting the 21-person system of Mariko Shinoda and Nana Ozaki, it is really a bit hard, even if there are 5 people who can be substituted every day, there are always many people who have to perform for four or five days in a row, and it is really a test of physical energy. If you can recruit people again, AKB, which is about 20 people now, is already very competitive, and if you recruit seventeen or eighteen girls. How fierce the competition will be in this small theater, you must know that just a few years ago, people were amazed at the huge system of 10 people in the Good Morning Girl Group!

Zhou Xiao didn't give people much time to reminisce. He went on to explain how the second phase of the team operates: "When the second phase of students arrives, the existing members will be formed into akb48TeamA, and the second team will be members of TeamK. But ......"

Zhou Xiao paused for a moment and continued: "However, the current AKB members are not necessarily members of teamA in the future, and not all of the members of the second phase of the future will be members of TeamK. ”

With these words, the atmosphere at the scene changed many times.

In fact, when Zhou Xiao made this decision, Akimoto Yasushi and others disagreed, their intention was to let AKB's K group be a substitute for Group A, and create an illusion that Group A could be caught up and surpassed anytime and anywhere, so as to prompt Group A to work harder.

Zhou Xiao knows very well that this idea is very wrong, and it will be proved that Group K can grow into a team with great personality that is not inferior to Group A, and for the current AKB, since it is clear that Group K has great potential in the future, why artificially restrict their growth, just let them compete with TA in a fair environment.

As for the exchange of teams between members, the rest of the operation team is also a little worried about this kind of thing, worried that TeamA, which already has a good tacit understanding, will be interrupted because of this reason.

But for Zhou Xiao, even if he disagrees with all his previous ideas, the idea of this flow between members must be done, because in the future, this will become an important way to maintain vitality and sparks between AKB members.

Member exchanges,Forming a cabinet or something,AKB's original earliest exchange was TeamB at the beginning of its establishment,Including Hirashima Natsumi,Urano Kazumi,Watanabe Shiho and others moved to TeamB,This first move was actually very unsuccessful,Because at that time, TeamB's positioning was a bit like the later graduate student positioning,From the main selection to the graduate student,Several members of the internal transfer including Masuyama Kamino and others made a move at that time either not to move,Or graduate,Really moved to the past., And in the future, there are only two people who will become the representative of TeamB, Natsumi Hirashima and Kazumi Urano.

What Zhou Xiao wants to do is to normalize and normalize this kind of mobile communication in advance, so that the members and the audience know one thing, that is, this kind of movement is not to send you to other places, but to attach importance to the opportunities you bring you, so that you can get a breakthrough opportunity if it is difficult to find a breakthrough in the original place.

When announcing this matter, Zhou Xiao explained: "The exchange between the members of the two teams is not to distribute but to give these members a chance, I guarantee that in the future, the opportunities of the two teams will be the same, and everyone can find their place in the team." ”

After a pause, everyone in the stands finally laughed at Zhou Xiao's meaning, and he continued: "Then the next thing, AKB48's first single has been successfully produced a few days ago, and now, we are going to start playing the MV of the first single that has been successfully recorded a few days ago!" (To be continued......)
