What is the basis of C position in PV of AKB48?

Except for guessing boxing and elections, they are all operational assignments.

The problem of piggy airborne, Haier Kaite Jun's "AKB48-The Ugly Duckling Legend of the 20th Century +265438" specially drew two chapters to write:

? Section 38? Matsui Jurina

Open your arms, open your fingers and take a look. Which finger stands out most?

Most people can notice the longest middle finger among the five fingers.

On the contrary, if the other four fingers are put away, leaving only the middle finger, it will immediately convey an indecent mocking signal.

There is no hope for AKB48, and there are rumors of dissolution from time to time in 2008. If AKBingo! "Is the little finger with limited function," baby! ? Baby! ? Baby! It is a ring finger with no sense of existence, and the index finger of "insisting on small theater performance" keeps going forward, and the support of other firms is equivalent to the most powerful thumb. Then the middle finger is located in another city that crosses Mount Fuji and echoes Tokyo from afar. This city is Nagoya, a thousand-year-old city known as "the capital of the East China Sea".

How can AKB48 in Akihabara, Tokyo be associated with Nagoya?

In the elevator and Def? Shortly after signing a contract with a star record company, chief producer Qiu Yuankang found a new partner: Dingdang Industry. This is a large entertainment facility developer in Nagoya.

Jingle built a landmark building in a place called "Rong" in Nagoya-a comprehensive shopping mall with a mini high-altitude sightseeing bus, named "Sunshine Rong". With the experience of AKB48 project, Qiu Yuankang is going to set up a new girl idol group for Nagoya with the theater on the second floor here as a new starting point, mainly composed of local girls, aiming at being loved by local young people.

But unlike Akihabara, Rong is not only a favorite place for young people, but also one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Nagoya. Just like Wangfujing in Beijing, Huaihai Road in Shanghai, Beijing Road in Guangzhou, Binjiang Road in Tianjin and so on.

This theater with high-altitude sightseeing bus is next to the exit of Rong subway station. Compared with Don Quixote-style commercial buildings in Akihabara, the appearance and geographical location here will give people a completely different feeling.

Rong's Japanese pronunciation is Sakae, so the name of this new group is SKE48.

For AKB48, SKE48 is the middle finger. It's right in front of you, so striking and dazzling. If there are no other four fingers, then the existence of this SKE48 is the coldest mockery of my efforts for more than two years.

When the troubled AKB48 members learned that Qiu Yuankang had started a new business in Nagoya, it was hard to say that they would not feel abandoned. Perhaps one of the first-year students decided to resign after learning that SKE48 was going to be established.

But neither the record company nor SKE can be controlled by these adolescent girls. The only thing they can do is to do a good job in every performance of Akihabara Theater and the foreign affairs activities provided by the brokerage company.

Those who want to leave will leave SKE; Those who decide to stick to it will stick to it no matter what happens.

However, why should Qiu Yuankang set up another "XXX48" in another city?

Just like signing a member to a different brokerage company at the beginning, at this moment, no one knows what he really wants to do. It was not until NMB48 in Osaka and HKT48 in Fukuoka were established one after another that some economists who have been studying Japanese macroeconomics all the year round suddenly realized what was going on.

This is a deeper meaning than "common development with brokerage companies". Even today, not everyone who has been in the entertainment circle for decades has figured out the meaning.

This question that only economists can answer, let's wait until NMB48 is established in Osaka.

The registration of SKE48 began in June. Because the population of the East China Sea is much smaller than that of the metropolitan area, and AKB48 is not a successful precedent. The number of applicants for the first time is only 2670.

After more than one month's four reviews, a total of 22 people passed the final review on July 3 1 and became the members of the first phase of SKE48 students.

Among these 22 people, there are not only Da Yazhen and Yagami Kumi who later entered the AKB general election rankings, but also Takada Shiori, the sister of Takada Ayana, a sophomore student of AKB48, and Deguchi Aki, a former graduate student of AKB48.

But it's not them that really make Qiu Yuankang shine at the moment.

On the day of the final selection of SKE48 members, Akihabara Theater was selected by Team? During a performance on the stage, Captain Gao Qiaonan dialed the telephone of Qiu Yuankang in front of the audience.

The voice of the chief producer came from the selection scene of SKE48, and everyone could recognize his excitement at that time:

"I met an amazing child! She is a diamond in the rough! She will shine in the future! I'm so lucky ... "

The team on the stage? A's first-year students looked at each other. In their impression, Qiu Yuankang never praised himself so much.

Even Atsuko Maeda is a blank face. Although she has become the signature face of AKB48, her efforts and growth are still "as early as I expected and should be" in Qiu Yuankang's eyes. Who is this child called "the original diamond"?

The name of this rough stone is Matsui Jurina.

When she first appeared in front of Qiu Yuankang, the staff next to her said to Qiu Yuankang, "This is the last contestant today."

After watching all the contestants' performances, Qiu Yuankang was very tired. He had a list of qualified people in his mind. But after he started performing in Matsui Jurina, he was immediately attracted by this thin girl who was 1.6 meters tall and had strong hip-hop dance steps.

This girl who looks 16 or 7 years old has a pure, bright and confident smile like a pupil. Although her eyes are small, clear eyes like children are very attractive.

The girl's basic information was at hand, and Qiu Yuankang took a look at it. However, when he saw the column of "date of birth", he was suddenly startled.

I saw that it said: March 8, Heisei nine years.

Nine years of Heisei, AD 1997. The last interview date is July 3, 20081.

The girl who looks like 16 and is 7 years old is actually only 1 1 year old.

What "smiles as naive as a pupil", what "eyes as clear as a child" ... nonsense, she is a pupil!

She began to learn street dance in the third grade, and has only two years of dance experience so far.

Looking up at the girl in front of her again, Qiu Yuankang has completely entered the "appreciation mode". This is simply a talented girl born for dancing. At least in the next 10 years, she will be his long-term partner.

Today is really a treasure! Qiu Yuankang was overjoyed and couldn't wait to put Matsui Jurina under the jurisdiction of SKE48. At the scene, he told the local TV reporter: "I am so happy that there is a diamond-like child among the qualified people." Later, in a conversation with AKB48 Theater, he repeated the word "original diamond".

However, faced with a brand-new existence like SKE48, the girls of AKB48 still don't know how to face it. Although fierce competition in the team has always existed, and there was a period of "all-round war" between first-year students and second-year students, it was all benign competition under the same roof after all. When his future was dark, a similar combination suddenly appeared in Nagoya. What will be our future destiny?

However, the reality did not leave them much time to think. When everyone is used to smearing in the middle of the night and constantly bears new blows, the first ray of sunshine in the morning has quietly appeared from the far end of the horizon.

Struggling in the face of suffering and difficulties, they finally stood up, waiting for the dawn of a comeback.

Shortly after SKE48 was founded, Qiu Yuankang finally found a new record company for AKB48. The new partner is "King Records" under Toastmasters, a Japanese publishing giant. After August, they are finally going to release a new single!

When Toagazaki Nobuki appeared in the theater with the lyrics of a new song, the whole backstage was a sensation.

However, everyone's joy only lasted for a short time. Because the girls found out that the name of this new song is Loud Diamond.

"Diamonds ... Who said that the other day?"

Before they could think much, they saw the following words:

Lead singer: Matsui Jurina Gao Qiaonan.

At that moment, everyone, including Atsuko Maeda, was shocked.

? Section 39 Loud diamonds

"Who is this man?"

At that time, some members had never heard of the names of SKE48 members, and they never thought that Nagoya people would "airborne" here as lead singers.

Or did Atsuko Maeda take the initiative to tell everyone: This Matsui Jurina is the "original diamond" that Teacher Qiu Yuankang said.

Atsuko Maeda also said to everyone: "Teacher Qiu Yuankang has been looking for me, and he said to me,' From now on, you and Zhu are two cores' and asked us to work together."

Everyone was silent.

The two people in the worst mood are Kojima Harouna and Duan Liyang Oshima. In AKB48 at that time, if there was a "kanban role" besides the chopping block, it was basically that the two of them took turns to go into battle according to different occasions. Moreover, in the "dual-core" mode, they are all "sister roles" older than A Jiang. Once 1 1 year-old Matsui Jurina joined, 17-year-old Ajiang changed from "sister" to "sister", and their painstaking role ceased to exist.

On the one hand, I look forward to a new record, on the other hand, I am worried about "airborne new core" and SKE48. In this complicated mood, AKB48 began the choreography rehearsal of The Loud Diamond.

In addition, they also welcomed a new choreographer. This man named Anna Makino is a famous figure in Japanese dance.

Anna Makino came from a family of performing artists and became a famous Japanese idol singer as early as the late 1980s. After retiring from the entertainment industry, she became a dance coach of the family business "Okinawa Actors Academy". Among the students she personally trained were Japanese pop star Namie Amuro and Tomomi Itano's childhood idol-Speed.

Before the rehearsal of "Loud Diamond", Anna Makino also went to Nagoya, participated in the selection of SKE48 members as one of the judges, and was responsible for training these newcomers.

After the rehearsal, AKB48 members who participated in the recording of new songs welcomed Anna Makino, but they didn't see the legendary "original stone".

Anna Makino said that Matsui Jurina didn't come today because SKE still has training.

Everyone is getting more and more curious. What is such a powerful newcomer? And absent from training as soon as you come up, you will inevitably not leave the impression of "playing big cards".

Don't worry, we will meet sooner or later.

On August 22nd, SKE48 appeared backstage as a guest performer at the AKB48 small concert held in Hibiya Park in Tokyo, which was their first public appearance.

Finally meet you, Miss "Original Stone"!

In fact, I have always felt that the metaphor that Qiu Yuankang said when he was too excited was not a good thing for Matsui Jurina.

Those modifications used to describe "beauty", whether "fairy" or "charming", are words that can only appear in literary works. If you really want to use these words to describe a person who exists in reality, you must be absolutely cautious, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Because the so-called "beauty" concept is actually a virtual image, not a real image. This is a wonderful description of the most perfect female image in our minds. People in reality, no matter how beautiful they look and extraordinary their temperament, are hardly worthy of the most perfect image in fantasy. Furthermore, "there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts", and the standard image of "beauty" in everyone's heart is also different.

Using too perfect words to describe a person in advance will often only raise the listener's appetite too high, but after seeing the real person, it is easy to be disappointed and feel "nothing more."

Using "rough diamond" to describe a promising young seed will inevitably produce the same effect.

There is a word that summarizes this phenomenon, which is called "killing cooked food".

Qiu Yuankang, who was too excited after seeing the bright future, accidentally "killed" his lover.

At the beginning of September, when Matsui Jurina and AKB48' s seniors formally trained together, no one came forward to talk to her except to say hello politely.

Those who can stay in AKB48 are not jealous of her, but have learned not to be jealous of others. However, Qiu Yuankang's clear preference makes it difficult for everyone to balance their mentality. Without a critical eye, it is difficult for everyone to see what is extraordinary about this "original stone".

On the other hand, although he is only a primary school student, Matsui Jurina obviously feels this bad and exclusive atmosphere. But after all, she didn't know how to deal with this scene, so she had to bow her head and practice dancing alone, eat lunch alone and secretly shed tears in front of SKE staff.

But Matsui Jurina didn't know that all this was actually seen by someone, because this scene was so familiar to that person.

That was nearly three years ago. At that time, she suddenly appeared on the stage without warning. After that, she was treated as air by her teammates, lived alone and suffered loneliness. Until two little sisters appeared before her like angels. ...

Today, she has become an important figure in the AKB48 rally. Her outstanding performance in TV programs and modeling activities has successfully changed the inherent impression of "AKB48= idol group of underground house girls" in the hearts of the public. However, if someone hadn't taken the initiative to save herself from loneliness, she wouldn't have achieved today.

Looking at the lonely little figure only half her age, she felt that she had to do the following.

Mariko Shinoda walked behind Matsui Jurina, patted her gently, and then said a word.

This is a sentence that Matsui Jurina will never forget in his life:

"When you are in trouble, come to me to discuss. You can talk to me about anything. "

A few days later, Matsui Jurina was taken to the studio by the staff. The photographer said to her, "Please shout a word, anything, as long as you can shout it out with a smile."

Matsui Jurina breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the camera: "Ma Lizi's adult!"

The flash lights up, and that moment is kept forever.

On June 22nd, 2008, 10, AKB48, who had been away from the record market for 228 days, finally released their new single.

A week later, the latest single sales charts were released. The Loud Diamond sold 48,000 copies in five days and won the third place in one fell swoop. And its final sales volume is close to 65438+ 10,000.

This figure is almost equivalent to the total sales of the first four singles-My Sun, Watching Sunset, Romance, No Need, Colorful Cherry Blossoms in 2008.

In the cheerful singing of "I like you very much, I have always liked you, and I want to shout at you with the loudest voice", the dark haze of not seeing hope and future for two years was swept away.

At that moment, the wind stopped, the rain stopped and the sun shone on their faces. At this moment, they were born again.

With Qiu Yuankang's ability in the industry for many years, the resurrection of AKB48 is not too unexpected. But they actually made such a beautiful turnaround, which surprised all the entertainment media at that time.

What is the reason for their comeback?
