Kitasanriku Coast, Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture.

This place name seems to be very ordinary, it is nothing more than a small place in the disaster area, and at this time, only Zhou Xiao knows what it means.

In Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, Zhou Xiao and Rino Shihara, Mariko Shinoda, Yuko Oshima, Yuki Kashiwagi, Reina Matsui, and Aya Yamamoto, who participated in the first visit to the disaster site for the first time, stepped off the plane.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, welcome!" The mayor of Morioka City was already waiting under the plane, and when he saw Zhou Xiao coming down, the mayor walked over with great excitement, his hands stretched out, as if with unparalleled excitement.

Japan's mayor is basically just an ordinary civil servant.

For Japan, the Great Recession has not eased since 89 years, and this Great Recession, in fact, relatively speaking, Tokyo has not been hurt very much, because at the critical moment, all the resources of Japan will come to feed Tokyo, and after a long time, Tokyo has become an incomparably huge monster city that occupies the vast majority of Japan's resources.

In the past, people would think that Japan must be crowded with 130 million people living in such a small country, but after getting familiar with Japan, you will find that the situation in Japan is super invincible crowded in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, and other cities even have a little bit of a sparsely populated rhythm.

Many young people in small cities have even gone for the most part, and if you go to the streets during the day, you will find that there are almost no people on the streets, and even if there are people, most of them are old men and old women, and the vitality of the whole city is almost zero, which is simply the worst situation for the city itself.

So, the mayor of Japan or something, usually after taking office, the eternal problem is how to make money for the city itself, and the way to make money, this small place in Japan. Especially if it has been developed for decades and various industries have been developed perfectly, only the tourism industry and the eyeball industry can make a lot of profits for no reason.

As a result, you will often see that those Japanese mayors are often local artists who are popular like grandparents, because artists can really bring great help to the local area.

The same is true of Zhou Xiao's arrival this time, when he heard that Zhou Xiao was going to take AKB to visit the disaster area, the entire Iwate Prefecture was going to boil. Zhou Xiao's appeal in Japan is now very large, and his arrival is even more after announcing the advance donation of one billion yen from AZX and himself, for these victims, many of the things they use are likely to be brought to them by Zhou Xiao's donation.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao is different from those ordinary artists, people think that ordinary artists come to the disaster area at this time to say that it is disaster relief, but in fact, they are more relieved to promote their own thoughts, but Zhou Xiao is a person who can't stop after donating 500 million. To Zhou Xiao, everyone's gratitude in their hearts is very tangible.

And the mayor is happier with another point, that is, Zhou Xiao's appeal is too great, and this one can drive too many other things to grow. If necessary, let him kneel down and kiss Zhou Xiao's shoes, he is willing.

At this time, Zhou Xiao was also very kind, and after shaking hands with the mayor, he ran to take photos with the local citizens. Exudes his aura with all his might.

He still needs this kind of image now, after all, he has just beaten his hand into a pig's head......

"Does Mr. Zhou have any other goals in Iwate Prefecture this time besides performing? If there is, we will definitely do our best to cooperate. The mayor asked.

"Oh? It's true? So I'm looking for someone who can help me find it? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Looking for whom? You can rest assured, as long as you command. Even if you turn the whole of Iwate Prefecture over, we're sure to find the person you're looking for! The mayor patted his chest and said.

"This man...... It should be called Misaki Ōmi. Zhou Xiao said.

"Misaki Ogami? Who is it? Is the rough stone that Mr. Zhou Xiao found in Iwate Prefecture? The mayor asked.

"If you forget who she is, you should know when you go back and check it out, then the time is pressing, let's go to Jiuji City first, I hope that when I get there, Miss Misaki Oki is already waiting for me there." Zhou Xiao said.

It was not very far from Morioka City to Jiuci City, and Zhou Xiao took the girls in three cars and quickly arrived at their destination along the way.

The car did not stop too much in the city, but went straight to the place selected by Zhou Xiao, near the coast of Xiaosleeve, where there was originally a sea lady performing.

When I got off at the place, the contact from the mayor of Morioka City had really arrived, and the mayor of Jiuci City, plus Misaki Osaki, who was specially proposed by Zhou Xiao to see, appeared in front of Zhou Xiao's car.

After another long period of greetings, Zhou Xiao said: "Time is tight today, let's not waste any more time, I want to go and see the place where Miss Misaki is a sea girl." ”

"Mr. Zhou, it has now been destroyed by the earthquake...... "The mayor of Jiuci said with some shame.

"It doesn't matter, some things are destined to be born again." Zhou Xiao said.

"This ...... All right. "Bite the bullet, the mayor took Zhou Xiao and the others to the target beach.

What you see is a hellish sight.

In this kind of small place, in a small city, such a huge earthquake affects almost all the coast, in this case, it is almost impossible for the government to restore the coast to its original appearance within two months, looking at the mess, looking at the almost no life around, even the locals of Jiuci City who surrounded it were listless, Zhou Xiao did not speak for a long time.

The main owner was silent, and the others naturally did not bother, behind Zhou Xiao, the girls and the staff, plus the local staff from Jiuci City, all fell silent for a while, only the sound of the camera and the waves hitting the shore continued to enter everyone's eardrums.

After standing for ten minutes, Zhou Xiao finally turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now." Let's go, the audience and citizens should have been waiting for it. ”

Only then did the group turn around and walk towards several incoming cars.

"Mr. Mayor, would you like to come and ride in my car?" Zhou Xiao invited the mayor of Jiuci City.

"It's an honor!" The mayor said.

Only Zhou Xiao and the others got into the best of several cars, and the other girls got into the other two cars, and everyone went to the center of Jiuci City together, where the girls' first performance in the disaster area will be held in the square.

Zhou Xiao didn't talk too much nonsense after getting in the car with the mayor, he had very little time, and in his opinion, the other party had no possibility of hesitation in this matter. So he asked directly: "Mr. Mayor, are you interested in filming a TV series in Jiuci City?" ”

"Electric ...... TV series!? Mr. Zhou Xiao, did you direct? Mayor Kuji asked.

"That's right."

"I ...... How much will it cost us to get you!? Mayor Jiuci couldn't speak, he knew too well how much economic benefit the filming location of a TV series could bring to the local area, in terms of Zhou Xiao's works, Yamagata County, the filming location of "The Undertaker", still has an endless stream of travelers from all over the world who go there to find Zhou Xiao's footprints with the filming!

Jiuji City is not big.,About two years ago, I got the news of a beautiful ama.,This news is not big.,I'm afraid the eyeball effect that really brought to the city lasted for about a month.,Under all kinds of problems,The young ama led by Misaki didn't really do it for long but quickly submitted his resignation.。

Her resignation was a humiliating affair for the local community. But the local area did not prevent the resignation of Misaki and others, because they really have no position, and such a beautiful and lovely girl can't even earn 100,000 yen a month, and it's normal for people to resign.

In order to revitalize the local area, Jiuci City has exhausted all its resources, and when there has been no effect, the mayor of Jiuci has dreamed of how to revitalize the economy.

Now, a good thing that he had never dared to dream of so many times appeared in front of his eyes, how could he not be excited.

The excited mayor asked something quite funny. Generally, the crew came to a certain place to shoot, and the crew should have begged each other and gave some local sponsorship, but the mayor of Jiuci actually asked: "How much money are we going to give you?" This kind of remark is enough to prove that his expectations for Zhou Xiao can't be greater.

Of course, Zhou Xiao couldn't really ask for money. And seeing that Jiuci City is so poor, with his financial resources, it is estimated that he can directly buy the entire city, how much money can he be given in this kind of place, it is better not to.

"I don't need money, as long as you can give me enough support. However, if it's filming, I hope that the seaside we just saw can be completely cleared. We will also provide some support in this regard, and I hope that the government can make more efforts here. Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

This is his real purpose, that section of the seaside, if you wait for Jiuci City to slowly organize manpower and material resources to clean up, it doesn't have to wait until when, Zhou Xiao hopes that the filming of the series will start next spring, and it will start broadcasting next summer, and in this year's time, if there is not enough external force, the cleanup work may not be completed.

"No problem! I'll find someone to clean up after today's performance! As long as Mr. Zhou Xiao can come! As long as you ......" The middle-aged mayor seemed to be really eager for the revitalization of the place, and he was so excited that he even felt as if he was about to shed tears.

"That's really thankful, if it's normal, I'm personally more inclined to choose here." Zhou Xiao said.

"Then Mr. Zhou Xiao, what type of drama do you want to shoot? Concerning...... Our Reasonable ...... Is it a Japanese TV episode? Is it to put the stage of the Super series here? Mayor Kuji sent out a barrage of questions.

"It's a morning show." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Morning Drama!! It turned out to be a morning drama!! "Boom!" "Oops!" The mayor of Kuji City jumped up excitedly, but completely forgot that he was in the car at this time and hit his head on the roof of the car.

This hit was not light, and even the driver in front of the car was startled, but Mayor Jiuci didn't seem to feel any pain at all, so he lowered his body and grabbed Zhou Xiao's hand: "Thank you!" Thank you! If it's really a morning drama, Jiuji City is really alive! Thank you so much! I...... I ......" Zhou Xiao grew his mouth in surprise, because the mayor really cried.

"Okay, okay, this should be a happy thing, hurry, the show is here, let's go down first, mayor, don't come out, please keep the morning drama confidential for the time being, I only have one idea for the time being, how to do it still needs to communicate with the company and NHK, you can keep it secret for me for the time being." Zhou Xiao said, pressed the mayor to his seat as if he was running away, and walked out by himself.

When Zhou Xiao and the AKB girls' cars entered the venue, they had already caused very loud cheers from the audience, especially when Zhou Xiao got out of the car, this huge cheer seemed to penetrate the sky.

The stage for the transformation of the car was ready, and the six girls waved when they saw Zhou Xiao coming over.

"Okay, let's play then." Zhou Xiao said to the girls.

The seven people who took the stage were rightfully greeted with a huge cheer again. Standing on the stage and looking down, the small square of Jiuci City was already crowded with audiences, and Zhou Xiao estimated that among these audiences, in addition to Jiuci City, there would be many citizens from other cities in Iwate Prefecture and even other nearby counties.

Among these people, it is estimated that there are very few people who come to watch AKB's performance, and everyone comes to see Zhou Xiao, in fact, strictly speaking, Zhou Xiao's own influence has not yet reached Cheng Dù, who can gather thousands of people anytime and anywhere. In fact, no artist in Japan can do it, there are usually not so many people in the place who pay attention to these, and the Japanese people do not value celebrities as much as the Chinese people.

But Zhou Xiao is mainly blessed for a reason, the last time he sang seemed to be at the 2007 Red and White Song Party, and the first time he sang after that was today, it is impossible not to look forward to it.

In addition to the audience, there are also a lot of media under the stage, not to mention the five major TV stations, and NHK has also sent a special team of reporters. Even many foreign media stationed in Japan have sent reporters to shoot offstage, and today's Kuji City may be the busiest day in decades.

Disaster relief performances or something are also very subtle, in this kind of performance. Some love songs and songs that are too hot and heartless can't be performed, and Zhou Xiao's hosting work is also based on stability, and he didn't work hard to open up the atmosphere, after introducing the AKB girls well. The performance of today's concert began.

The first person to start performing was Zhou Xiao, and after singing a song, he said a little embarrassed and shy: "That...... I'm a little embarrassed. It's been years since I've sung in front of people. ”

For Zhou Xiao's words, the audience naturally gave inclusive applause and cheers.

"Then it's the AKB show next, I hope everyone can be more tolerant." After Zhou Xiao finished speaking, he gave up the stage to the girls, and he himself jumped off the stage and took the camera handed over by the staff.

Of course, the AKB girls won't sing only one song like Zhou Xiao, and their songlist today has a total of five songs, and after the third song ended, the girls also stopped for a short MC work.

Zhou Xiao has been dutifully working as a photographer offstage, and most of these photos will be archived in the company's database, but a considerable part of them will be posted on Zhou Xiao's blog and Twitter.

In the MC part of the performance, there is also a small interlude.

At the end of the third song, while the girls are working as MCs, a child who looks like he is only three or four years old is holding a wildflower in his hand and crosses the audience that is pulled up by a thin ribbon.

"Little Flower!" The girl's mother seemed to be a person who didn't pay attention to putting the little girl in, Zhou Xiao also saw the little girl who walked in, he didn't stop the little girl but instead retreated to the side and signaled to the girl's mother not to worry, and then he himself squatted down and pointed the camera lens at the little girl.

The continuous shooting mode was activated, and the little girl in the shot staggered to the bottom of the stage, raising her head to look at the six big sisters on the stage.

The person who happened to be standing on the very edge of the little girl's side was Reina Matsui, who also noticed what was happening in the audience.

And then...... The little girl in the audience stretched out her fleshy little hand and handed the wildflower in her hand to it.

Reina Matsui broke away from the queue and knelt on the edge of the stage, reached out and took the flowers handed over by the little girl below with a smile.

And this qiē, of course, was also recorded by Zhou Xiao, who was on the side, with a camera.

After a slam shot, Reina stood up while waving with the flowers, and the little girl finally remembered to find her mother, and turned back to her mother.

And Zhou Xiao, he took a step back and checked the photos on the LCD screen of his own camera.

In the photo, Reina on the stage is illuminated by the light, and the little girl under the stage just blends into the warm light of the sunset, a slightly cool light, and the other light source is slightly smaller but with incomparable warmth.

The whole photo is perfect in terms of composition, tone, or concept, for photography, Zhou Xiao has some research, although he has not yet reached the professional photographer Cheng dù, but he can also be regarded as helping Yuko Ogura to publish a photo album, over the years, Zhou Xiao has still taken a lot of photos, but can take the photo so satisfied, so perfect, Zhou Xiao is the first time to do it.

"That's a good picture, isn't it?" Zhou Xiao called the other photographers on the side and asked.

"Perfect! It's time to send it off! The AZX photographer who came with Zhou Xiao praised.

"Really? You're just currying favor with your boss, aren't you? Zhou Xiao said.

"Nope! It's really perfect, your photo will be a sensation when it is released, trust me! The photographer from AZX said.

"Really?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course it's true, if I can take this picture, I can directly become a first-class photographer! Mr. Zhou Xiao, you can really do everything well! The other continued to compliment.

"Then borrow your auspicious words, I'll go back and take this photo and ask Yonehara Yasumasan about them." Zhou Xiao said. (To be continued......)
