The "Hitchhiker" project that Ariyoshi was working on in Sarurock was very interesting more than ten years ago, but now, the project is not as interesting as it was broadcast in prime time, especially when the stage has been moved to Japan, a familiar place, and it is even more difficult to reach the height of Ariyoshi.

But...... Why is Zhou Xiao willing to start this project nearly 20 years ago?

One of the reasons why he is looking forward to it is naturally the nationality of Zhao Jiamin and Tang Min.

As Chinese and ignorant of Japanese, it was a huge challenge for them to hitchhike in a strange country.

The two girls are really facing a lot of difficulties.

First of all, they are all only children at home, and as Chinese girls, they have never cooked in Dalian since they were children.

Not to mention cooking, they didn't even know how to gesture when they heard that they were going to hitchhike.

In addition, they almost don't know Japanese at all, so in the schoolbag that Zhou Xiao handed them, in addition to the books they need to use to go to school in China, there is also a Japanese primer, and when they travel all over Japan, they have to learn Japanese by the way!

Finally, there is the issue of academics.

The level of academic hardship of Chinese students is definitely not ordinary, and they want to not affect their studies in such a situation, and they definitely have to work harder than others.

After the work of connecting the Tokyo studio to the scene ended, Zhou Xiao's affairs were not over.

"What's that called? Leaf what? Zhou Xiao beckoned to a staff member carrying a photographer on the side.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao! My name is Ye Xuanchen! The man came up and said.

This is a photographer recruited from China, to establish an idol group, in addition to recruiting members, the staff must also be trained from scratch, the Japanese combination production method, the Japanese shooting and production method, these need to be learned from scratch by the staff.

This Ye Xuanchen is a staff member selected by the company who feels very potential. Not only photography, but also the company hopes that he will do more related work in the future.

So this time, in addition to the SNH members, this Ye Xuanchen was also sent over to form a photography team for this project with Japanese female photographers.

"Remember that you are the only male among the four, so please be responsible, I can't take care of their time, so please leave it to you!" Zhou Xiao said.

"Yes!" Ye Xuanchen was encouraged by Zhou Xiao, and his excited voice changed.

In fact, for Zhou Xiao, these words were just his kind words. But for Ye Xuanchen, the effect of this sentence is really quite obvious.

The young man with the camera is determined to protect the girls from any harm.

Leaving the two girls and two staff members in Hokkaido, Zhou Xiao took most of the rest of the crew on the plane back to Tokyo.

"Zhou Xiao, is it really okay to do this show?" Minister T actually came with him, as an insider, in fact, he also knows that the real content of this show is difficult to carry the prime time, and if you want this link to become a prime time, you need to put more thought into the production.

More input, such as two Chinese girls coming from afar. More mental bridges, such as hitchhiking, must be learned in the middle, more editing and production thoughts, and at the same time compress the duration of hitchhiking, so that the length of this part in variety shows is generally no more than 20 minutes.

Only when all these things are done can it be possible to support this part called a prime-time variety show.

Minister T this person. In fact, he hasn't participated in the production of TV programs for a long time, so he can't afford to make this kind of thing that must rely on exquisite production rather than more ideas, and only Zhou Xiao and the program team that has been cooperating for more than ten years from late night to now can make this show a good job.

"No problem. More than ten years ago, the hitchhiker depicted everything that the Japanese faced when they came into contact with the world in that era, and the hitchhiking now is essentially a collision between Chinese and Japanese cultures. So for program production, in addition to considering the ratings of the program, I also need to consider the issue of publicity, my goal is not how much money I can make in a quarter, a month or even a week. Zhou Xiao explained.

"I see, it's really Zhou Xiao, who has been taught." The Minister T gave a small compliment.

When I came back from Hokkaido, I just got off the plane when Yasushi Akimoto's phone called.

"Zhou Xiao, have you watched TV?" Yasushi Akimoto's tone was quite serious.

"No, what's wrong?"

"The other party...... Shot. Yasudo Akimoto.

"Oh!? Who is it!? Zhou Xiao asked in surprise.

"I don't know yet, but the Asahi TV program said those disputes on the Internet!"

"Asahi!? I know, where you are, I'll see you right away! Zhou Xiaodao.

didn't bother to go home, Zhou Xiao went directly to the place where Qiu Yuankang was, even if he was in the car, he also learned about the latest situation at this time through his mobile phone.

What Qiu Yuankang called over and said, it is obvious that there were forces to do something against Zhou Xiao and the baseball boy two Chinese Americans before, that seems to be casual and even a certain degree of praise on the Internet, but in fact, it is quite a meaningful remark, for a while, it is a thing that the two of them have been quietly concerned about recently, and now, it seems that the other party has finally made another move.

And the one who shot was ......

"Why is it Asahi ......" Zhou Xiao looked at the message sent by Akimoto Yasu.

Asahitai's reports on Zhou Xiao, the baseball boy and Zhiyuan are very subtle.

Not on the news program, but on the variety show, someone talked about Zhou Xiao and the baseball boy and the series of things about Zhiyuan!

And the MC of this show is...... Bunta Mino with Masako Hamada in downtown.

When I look at these two MCs, I'm tired of it...... Zhou Xiao muttered in annoyance.

Hamada Masako has nothing to say, DT's big thing, and Matsu Benzhi should be regarded as the top artist after the royal three, but Hamada Masako has never had anything to do with Zhou Xiao, because he is very close to 99, tunnel duo and the like, these two are obviously not the same as themselves, and they have not cooperated with themselves, although there is no public performance NG, but the relationship between the two sides is indeed not even friends.

And if you want to talk about DT, Zhou Xiao actually has a good relationship with Matsu Shizhi, and the key is in this Hamada Yagong.

As for the other Mino Fumita, there is even less to say. His son is a thief and he is sexual. Harassment, in short, is not a good thing, relatively speaking, Zhou Xiao even admires Shimada Shinsuke a little more.

"Asahidai is really ...... It's not good to choose who to be the MC, but choose these two as MCs......" After seeing Qiu Yuanyasu, Zhou Xiao naturally complained about this first.

"Your Zhou Xiao's reputation is not small, and the key is that you have now moved away from the artist level to the position of the controller, so there are not many people who dare to touch topics related to you, these two, Hamada Sanma...... You know. And Mino Fumita...... It is said that someone saw his son in Macau some time ago, so ...... Now he estimates that as long as he gives money, he will be willing to do anything. Akimoto said with a smile.

The two main hosts of this special show are them, and as for the other artists, they are all newcomers and small shrimps who are not qualified to choose jobs, so they don't pose a threat at all.

This special program discusses some things in Japan at this stage, and Zhou Xiaozhiyuan's matter is only a part of it, but it is easy for a discerning person to see that the whole show is done around them.

So. Yasushi Akimoto easily saw the tendencies of the show.

"Why Asahi......" Akimoto asked, a little puzzled.

"It must only be Asahi,......" Zhou Xiao now somewhat understood why it was Asahi now.

"Oh? You know? Akimoto asked in surprise.

"Needless to say, NHK is working with NHK, and Fuji TV has a good relationship. Of the remaining three TV stations, TBS doesn't have much to do with me, while Tokyo TV is too small, and only Asahi ......"

"What's wrong with Asahidai?"

"2008." Zhou Xiao just said a year.

"Oh...... I know. But what does Asahidai still remember about such a distant thing? Akimoto said.

In 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake occurred. Asahita donated the least, contributed the least, and even had a lot of gloating remarks, which directly led to a long cold war between AZX and Asahitai, and even a small Chinese walking incident broke out outside Asahidai at that time.

But after several years, especially after AKB's popularity, the relationship between the two sides is already very good, which is also normal, not to mention anything else, just Asahidai's "MS" is AKB's must be on every single, and even when Zhou Xiao released a single, it was a music group that must be on every single, and Japanese musicians who can't be on "MS" are not successful musicians at all.

But now that's happening......

Zhou Xiao silently called the company.

"Is the schedule for the new single "MS" finalized?"

"It's finalized, it's the first disclosure." He replied on the other end of the phone.

"Pause! Not only the AKB Group, but all of its singers and artists, including the head of the biological unit and Kana Nishino, will stop all the programs of Asahi! Zhou Xiaodao.

"Boss, this ...... Is it really okay? ”

"Do it, are you the boss or am I the boss?" Zhou Xiao asked solemnly.

"Was the reaction too big?" Qiu Yuanyasu was also a little worried, Zhou Xiao's reaction made him a little unaccustomed, he was usually more conservative and peaceful, and a reaction like today was indeed worrying.

"What am I afraid of, I don't have a TV station." Zhou Xiao means that he has a stake in Ri TV.

"But that's why I don't think your reaction should be too big, your identity is indeed ......"

"Mr. Akimoto, in fact, I know this very well, but don't you think that it is because of my identity that I should be more unscrupulous? Otherwise, people will say that I am an outsider. Zhou Xiao put forward a different point of view.

"If you say that, I think it's not unreasonable......" Qiu Yuanyasu felt that he had no way to refute Zhou Xiao's words.

"But...... It's too risky. Moreover, compared to the risk we take, the help we get after winning is not very large, and the risk is not proportional to what we get, so I still don't think there is any need to take such risks. Akimoto said cautiously.

"I can't help it, although the Asahi station said that we have a way to deal with it, but to be honest, we still don't know the opponent at all...... Even the opponent has been forced to this extent without even knowing it, and if he doesn't do something, he may be shot to death without knowing anything. That's so wrong. Zhou Xiao said.

"In fact, the opponent is very simple, and the forces that will do this, we can't fail to see it." Akimoto said.

"yes...... Right-wing ......," Zhou Xiao said.

Right. Tsubasa is a very general term, referring to those conservatives, in the current environment of Japan, the left wing has little room for survival, almost all politicians are right-wing, at most they are divided into moderates or radicals.

Zhou Xiao and baseball boys, the former has been trying not to be associated with politics over the years, and the latter is doing sports work. Both of them are trying to stay away from politics as much as possible.

But people grow, and the growth of geniuses will one day affect them.

Now, when they want to make changes in the relationship between the two countries and want to discredit the Chinese, these two people have become a stumbling block in front of them.

Sunny, handsome, talented, athletic...... One is thirty years old, the other is twenty years old. The excellent characteristics of men are perfectly displayed in them, and with such a perfect impression of Chinese, it is quite difficult for Japanese people to hate Chinese.

I have no intention of participating, but the reality is. Their very existence is an existence that hinders many people's plans.

I know that it is the right wing, but I don't know who the other side is, and the right wing also has many forces, large and small, and I don't know who the other side is. Zhou Xiao didn't know who to find if he wanted to deal with it.

"Actually...... It's not entirely clear who the person who shot is ......," Akimoto said suddenly.

"Oh? Did you know? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Well...... I happen to know a little bit about Bunta Mino's social connections, and the people who may come to him ......," Akimoto said.

"Who is it?"

"One is called...... Abe......"

"It's him!?" Zhou Xiao shouted in surprise.

"You know?" Qiu Yuanyasu glanced at Zhou Xiao very strangely, this 30-year-old young man's understanding of politics Qiu Yuanyasu was very clear. How could a guy who could hear Ishihara as a rough stone know Abe?

Kindness...... Because this is not the prime minister at this time.

Even the president of the Liberal Democratic Party has not yet been made.

"Abe is too connected to Fumimi Mino?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"I've been involved in an internal party of the Liberal Democratic Party, and I've seen Fumita Mino chatting with Abe there." Akimoto said.

"You can't be a member of the Liberal Democratic Party too, are you?" Zhou Xiao thought of the photo of him and Abe, who was quite famous in AKB meals in later generations.

"Me? I'm a money-making party. Akimoto said with a smile.

To say that most of the people in the Japanese entertainment industry are actually very smart, some people are more smart and brainless, so they will do it to the right wing in power, and some people are smart, careful and sensitive, such as Yasu Akimoto, whoever gives me money, I will cooperate with whomever I want, let me and my people help you do things, but if you want me to cheer you and cheer for you and tilt the political leaning towards you, it is impossible, because I still have to make money from the other half.

"Their big power would be interested in dealing with me as a little artist?" Zhou Xiao objected.

"You're not a small artist at all, and it's not necessarily the top existence of their group, it's probably a middle-level person who thinks you're in the way and makes these things." Yasudo Akimoto.

"If it's him and his forces, it's going to be troublesome......," Zhou Xiao said.

"Why do you say that?" Yasu Akimoto asked.

"Because ......" Zhou Xiao said, it can't be said that their party is about to take control of Japan, and Abe is about to become the president of the party.

"If it's them, is there anything you can do?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"It's not easy...... Their words ...... "Akimoto Yasuya was also a little worried.

On this day, Zhou Xiao still didn't talk to Qiu Yuankang about any useful methods, they are still pure people in the entertainment industry, and they have no way to deal with the real political circle.

Zhou Xiao had the heart to call Pan Jiale to ask, but thinking of the situation he was facing now, he was worried that the contact with Pan Jiale might be a bad thing, and his relationship with Pan Jiale was definitely not a secret to the relevant Japanese departments, because they really had nothing to do with each other, so the Japanese side didn't really care about them.

Once Zhou Xiao asks China for help on these matters, then the Japanese side may probably think that Zhou Xiao is completely turning to that side, and at that time, maybe a spy or something will be suppressed.

He couldn't do anything for a while, but the opponent's side was not idle.

Things did not surprise Akimoto Yasu, and in the next few days, the opponent was finally gradually exposed.

A spokesman for Abe's party mentioned Zhou Xiao and the baseball boy at a press conference and other occasions.

"They are indeed very powerful, but they are powerful does not mean that China is powerful, Zhou Xiao was born in Japan and grew up in Japan, everything about him can be said to be given by Japan, except for his name and bloodline, he is a complete Japanese. As for the guy who plays baseball, it's nothing more than an athlete. ”

It's a very common evaluation, but ...... What such a sentence represents is very subtle.

A spokesman for a political occasion cannot say even a single word of nonsense in any public place, although it is just one sentence, but this is enough, Zhou Xiao and the baseball boy once again appeared on the front page of major Japanese media.

Some reports are just stating the facts, some are speculating about the truth, and some excessive or tendentious newspapers are even maliciously speculating and ridiculing them and the China behind them. (To be continued......)
