Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

When thinking about becoming an idol, the first term that pops up in Nie Wei's mind is 'AKB48'.

And when I think about AKB48, it is not difficult to guess the familiar fat man in front of me. No wonder this person looks familiar and his name is familiar. Isn't this the super producer Yasushi Akihara who created the idol category?

In fact, before forming AKB48, Yasushi Akihara was already very famous.

The inconspicuous fat man in front of me seems ordinary, but he is actually very talented. He is also an all-rounder. He can write lyrics, screenplay, direct, be a producer of programs, and cultivate idol groups. He is now the most talented person. His dazzling resume is that he once cultivated a kitten club.

Although this group only lasted for two years, it became popular for a while, and with this formal experience, AKB48 will become very famous in Asia and even the world in the future, as well as a bunch of sister groups.

"You should be Yasushi Akihara, who once served as the producer of Kitten Club." Nie Wei confirmed.

"That's right, it's my small achievement. I didn't expect Mr. Nie Wei to know about it." Akihara Yasushi looked at Nie Wei in surprise, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face. After all, in his opinion, the Kitty Club was too great in that era. It's been so long, I didn't expect that someone of Nie Wei's age would still know.

"I have done research on the history of Japanese idol development. Kitten Club is an indelible milestone. It uses a group of amateur high school girls as assistants for the program. The threshold is designed to be very low, but the process requirements are very high. Watching the idols grow, Or be eliminated, this should be the prototype of your idea of ​​cultivating an idol.”

"That's right, Mr. Nie Wei!!!" Akihara Yasushi clapped his hands in surprise, and then immediately explained to Nie Wei: "This time I re-launched a group called AKB48, which continues the Kitten Club. Concept, optimized with my thoughts of the past twenty years, I really hope you can take a look at this group of children..."

At this point, Akihara Yasu glanced at Nie Wei and found that the other person's eyes were unwavering and he felt a little unsure. However, thinking about the purpose of this time, he mustered up the courage to speak out: "Mr. Nie Wei, if you can, I hope I can help the children sing a song to you."

"Do you want me to tailor a song for them? You really should see it with your own eyes."

"Do you agree?" Yasushi Akihara was very excited. As for the most popular music producers in Japan and even Asia, Nie Wei can definitely be ranked in the top three, especially with the crazy plan before, Nie Wei started from scratch There are ten songs in the album at the end, and none of the ten songs scored less than eight points in professional music magazines, and the overall album score is as high as 8.6 points. It is one of the best albums in recent years. There is no doubt that A palace-level work.

And this album also proves how terrifying Nie Wei's musical talent is.

The reason why Akihara Yasu asked Nie Wei to invite him to sing is mainly because AKB48, which he created, has been unable to achieve success. Not even half of the audience who come to the theater every day can sit in the seats. He urgently needs a powerful music producer to help the girls create a song. Their good songs give the most important wings to the dreams of the AKB48 girls, or to Akihara Yasushi’s own dreams.

"Let me think about it for a moment and I'll give you an answer later," Nie Wei said.

Nie Wei's ambiguous answer made Akihara Yasun feel anxious again. He was afraid that Nie Wei would not be willing to write songs for his small group. After all, just like some singers only cooperate with top musicians, some top musicians also only work with top musicians. Working with big-name singers, in their eyes, working with small singers will have an impact on their own value.

Akihara Yasun's familiarity with Nie Wei only limited to his musical talent, so it is inevitable to have these random speculations.

Nie Wei didn't care about Akihara Yasun's random thoughts, he just had some doubts and wanted to know more.

Walking to Noda Kuichi who was talking to others, Nie Wei called him to a corner and asked, "Do you know anything about AKB48?"

Noda Xiongyi was still wondering what Nie Wei was calling him for. Hearing Nie Wei's question, he was stunned for a moment, then tried hard to think about it for a long time, and then showed a sudden expression.

"I know, the idol of that small theater? I heard that it is about to be disbanded."

"How to say?"

"Akimoto Yasushi came to you just now for the AKB48 matter. Did he want to invite you to sing? It's really a good plan." Noda Xiong guessed while showing a hint of ridicule, and then looked at Nie Wei's puzzled look. Next, explained: "AKB48 is said to be a group he modeled after Kitty Club, but this time it was not put on a TV show, but directly put in a small theater to perform for the audience face to face."

Having said this, Noda Kuichi showed a trace of ridicule unconsciously and continued: "But the audience doesn't seem to buy it. After all, the modes are similar, but they just changed from TV to theater. The audience is like Saint Seiya. Same. The audience has become immune to their tricks. This group has been developing for more than half a year. It is said that there are only a few audiences going to the theater every day, and the finances cannot make ends meet. Several companies involved in the production are thinking of giving up. "

"Mr. Nie Wei, just ignore this kind of person. If he bothers you again, you can tell me and I will perfectly help you solve this trouble." At the end of the sentence, Noda Xiongyi bowed deeply to Nie Wei to express his loyalty. , in his opinion, as a subordinate, you must have the determination to share the leader's worries.

In his eyes, Akihara Yasushi is a big trouble. Whether he is attracted by Nie Wei's musical talent or Nie Wei's funds, these are not what this fat man can expect. What he has to do is to make this fat man understand this truth.

Looking at the self-righteous Noda Kumaichi, Nie Wei also looked at the face of crying and laughing, not knowing whether to praise him for his loyalty or scold him for his short-sightedness.

"I have my own decision on this matter. You mainly tell me what you know about this group."

Hearing what Nie Wei said, Noda Kumaichi also realized that he had misunderstood, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he also saw that Nie Wei did not mean to blame him, so he quickly calmed down and told him everything he knew.

The place where Nie Wei was confused was actually in his memory. Although AKB's development had some difficulties in the early stage, it should have been on the right track by now.

However, looking at Akihara Yasushi's anxious attitude when he asked for songs, and Noda Kumaichi's disdainful expression when he mentioned AKB48, this group seems to be in a very bad situation at present?

From Noda Kumaichi's words, Nie Wei found that this group was really miserable, and it had something to do with him.

The initial misery of this group was the same as his impression, but with the development, it was said that there was a short period of time when the theater's attendance rate exceeded half, but at this time, Alan suddenly appeared and stole the limelight of AKB48's rise, and then Nie Wei and Alan's crazy album plan was even more prosperous, completely covering up the brilliance of this group.

That period of time was a huge blow to AKB48. Alan not only stole normal fans, but also touched the hearts of many otakus because of the divine song "Love Cycle", and otakus happened to be the fan base of AKB48.

During that period, the number of people in AKB48's small theater was declining every day. At the worst time, the attendance rate was less than the number of hands, and it went back to the pre-liberation period.

It can be said that because of Alan's appearance, AKB48, a group that had just started to gain momentum, was dealt a heavy blow. Although it did not cause them to capsize directly, it was almost the same. Now the attendance rate of this small theater on weekends is only pitiful two or three floors. The operating conditions are very miserable. No wonder some companies want to withdraw their investment.

"Avex is actually involved in this group. I know so much about it because I heard them nagging when I was having dinner with my former colleagues. It is said that Avex is also going to withdraw and stop losses." Noda Xiongyi finally did not forget to remind Nie Wei implicitly that this is a group that even Avex's head office is not optimistic about.

Nie Wei ignored Noda Xiongyi's last reminder, but just sighed in his heart about the power of the butterfly effect.

Unexpectedly, because of his and Alan's crazy record plan, the future Asian group faced the situation of disbanding and collapse. But then again, Nie Wei is really interested in this idol group with hundreds of people.

Saying goodbye to Noda Xiongyi, Nie Wei glanced at the banquet and found that Akihara Yasushi was still standing in the same position with a nervous look on his face. Seeing Nie Wei looking over, he quickly showed a flattering smile.

"Interesting." This producer who will be famous in Asia in the future is now in such a state, which really makes Nie Wei sigh.

Walking to Qiu Yuankang's side, Nie Wei didn't waste words and told him directly that he was very curious about this group, but his time was urgent and he was only free tomorrow morning.

"Our theater happens to have a performance tomorrow morning. I will treat you to breakfast, and then go to the theater to see the children together." Qiu Yuankang couldn't hide his surprise and excitedly invited him.

However, breakfast was not necessary. Nie Wei said that he would pick him up at the hotel at eight o'clock.

"Okay, I will wait for you downstairs in the hotel on time." Qiu Yuankang nodded and agreed.

After the matter was settled, Nie Wei and Qiu Yuankang said goodbye. During this period, Nie Wei had seen Alan look at him no less than five times. Obviously, the little girl wanted to chat with him, but was afraid of disturbing his work.

Seeing Nie Wei coming, Alan's expression was obviously brighter, and she was no longer always distracted and absent-minded.

"Nie Wei, how is my album selling? It's great, isn't it?" The two of them clinked their glasses together, and Alan, who had taken a sip of wine, immediately said with a look of seeking credit.

"Of course it's great. You can be proud of being able to sell two million albums in the past two years." Nie Wei praised very directly.

Just as he said, being able to sell more than two million albums as a new singer in the current record industry is really a miracle. You have to know that the current record industry, even the most developed Japanese record industry in Asia, is on the decline. Even the three queens now dare not guarantee that their albums can sell two million in a month.

Alan looked very happy when he was praised.

"By the way, are you free tomorrow morning? Go somewhere with me." Thinking that he would return to China tomorrow afternoon, he simply took Alan to the small theater of AKB48 in the morning to relax.

"Okay, it happens that I have a day off tomorrow." Alan agreed immediately without hesitating for a second, and didn't even ask Nie Wei where he was going.

The girl's unhesitating trust made Nie Wei smile uncontrollably, and he patted the girl's head lovingly.

The next morning, before 7:30, Qiu Yuankang had already driven the best car he could afford to the downstairs of the hotel where Nie Wei was staying and waited, and Nie Wei walked out of the hotel on time at 8 o'clock.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Nie Wei said after getting into the car.

"No, I just got here five minutes ago." Nie Wei could tell that Qiu Yuankang was lying, but he didn't expose it. He also remembered the respect the other party had for him.

"Let's go to this address first." Nie Wei reported Alan's address. He certainly wouldn't forget to invite the girl to the AKB48 small theater yesterday.

Qiu Yuankang was a little confused, but he didn't ask much. But soon when Nie Wei called Alan, he also understood that he was going to pick Alan up to go to the theater together.

Soon the car drove to the door of Alan's apartment. Nie Wei called Alan again before the car stopped. Soon Alan came out of the apartment, smiled brightly when he saw the car, and immediately ran over.

"You look beautiful today." Seeing Alan open the car door and get in, Nie Wei moved to the side and praised.

Today, Alan wore a small straw hat, a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a red and red cartoon Hello Kitty pattern, and a pair of suspender jeans. He wore a pair of white canvas shoes. He looked fresh and natural, and very pleasing to the eye.

Alan was praised, and was secretly happy that the two hours of matching in the morning were not in vain. He was also a little shy, but in short, he felt sweet in his heart.

Akihara Yasushi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, found an opportunity to say hello to Alan.

Alan only noticed Akihara Yasushi in the driver's seat at this time. After Nie Wei's introduction, he knew that this was a senior, and he also responded politely. After all, the Japanese entertainment industry still pays attention to the tradition of seniors and juniors.

"We are going to Mr. Akihara's small theater to watch a performance this morning." In the car, Nie Wei finally told Alan about today's schedule.

"AKB48?" Alan was a little confused when she heard the name of this group from Nie Wei. She had been in closed training for the first half of the year in the Japanese entertainment industry, and then she became famous overnight. The artists she met were all popular online. Naturally, she didn't know about AKB48, a group that had never even become popular.

Akihara Yasushi saw Alan's confusion through the rearview mirror. Although it was a little embarrassing, he still explained it to Alan very conscientiously at this time.

This journey was basically completed in the process of Akihara Yasushi introducing the group AKB48. Half an hour later, when both Nie Wei and Alan had a lot of understanding of this group, the car also drove to the AKB48 small theater in Akihabara.
