Chapter 104 I'm going to say it

  After hearing this, Zhou Xiao felt dizzy. What is called momentum? This is what's called momentum. An old lady who looks harmless, an old lady that one Zhou Xiao can beat a hundred of, yet the words she says are so extraordinary and powerful. They don't want the newspapers to report it, and they dare not report it. It's as if they really think the entertainment circle is their own backyard.

  But Zhou Xiao? If he had a slight intention to sell his company when he heard the old lady's offer before, now he has become even more determined: "No, thank you, I'd rather be free and easy-going like this."

  Why did his attitude change suddenly? It's simple, the old lady's words seemed to be giving Zhou Xiao a backing, but Zhou Xiao understood the meaning behind those words: "If they don't want to report it in the newspaper, they won't dare to report it." The flipped meaning of this sentence is that "if you want to report it in the newspaper, even if they don't want to or know it's wrong, they will still report it". The biggest example of this kind of thing is SMAP, which will soon become the focus of tens of thousands of people. Since you have such courage, why not take care of Kimura Takuya's scandals? You're not taking care of it, and it's clear that even if it's not your intention, you basically don't oppose it either.

  Such a company, when they haven't signed him yet, they're being overly nice to him, but heaven knows if they'll change their tune after signing him.

  "Since you insist, I won't say anything else. If there's anything in the future, you can come find me, and as long as it's possible, I'll help." After saying this, the old lady didn't say anything else either, and took two middle-aged women with her to bid farewell and leave with a group of young boys behind them.

  "Who are they, anyway?" Yuko Ogura asked, the group of boys behind the three women she knew, no more than a bunch of JR, but these three women she didn't know.

  "These three can be considered... the helmsmen of Johnny's." Zhou Xiao said after choosing his words carefully.

  Johnny & Associates has three main managers, one is Matsuoka Toshio, and the other two are Fujishima Yasuko and Fujishima Keiko. Among them, Yasuko is Hatakeyama's sister, while Keiko is Yasuko's daughter, and they are usually called "Oba-chan" (grandma) and "Oji-san" (auntie) by Johnny's fans.

  Although Arashi's Satoshi Ohno holds a director position and has SMAP, the number one star in Johnny's, the other two grandmothers and aunt obviously have more resources and power, having an absolute advantage in the company's confrontation, which is also why SMAP can be suppressed so severely. They are directly managed by the upper layer of the company and cannot resist the will of this mother-daughter duo.

  In the history that Zhou Xiao has experienced, AKB48 was obviously pro-Team Island. Both sides have always had a lot of cooperation, but Grandma Auntie's faction, although they can't reach the level of co-starring in NGs, at least when you want to promote something, this faction's program is basically impossible to participate in.

  Unless you are an absolute supporting role in this program and the investor is also unrelated to the 48 system.

  Of course, just like the previous 48g and Jenesis, these two groups will not easily tear their faces apart, as it would be detrimental to both parties. So when SMAP held a concert, the two grandmothers and auntie also came in person to cheer for the five members. As for the young JR behind them, they might have to go on stage later to accompany SMAP's dance or something.

  "This is terrible!? That old lady just said she would take care of you!" Ogura Yuko exclaimed in surprise.

  As for this, Zhou Xiao curled her lips. It's strange that the old lady's words can be trusted. If she really wants to ask for help, the old lady might help within her power, but the price she has to pay will not be small either. The old lady would say "can't" and peel off a layer of skin from herself!

  After waiting for a while in the background, Zhou Xiao and Ogura Yuko stood up and headed to the viewing platform. Before they even exited the passageway, Zhou Xiao felt the extraordinary heat of the concert at the stadium. The entire stadium was filled with cheers that seemed to come from one entity, and most of the voices were female, showing just how high SMAP's popularity was.

  As soon as the two of them came out of the passageway, that kind of atmosphere hit them right in the face. In her past life and this one, Zhou Xiao was actually attending such a large concert for the first time. The venue with tens of thousands of people was basically packed to the rafters, and under the illumination of various lighting facilities, the entire stadium was clearly visible. The scene of tens of thousands of people gathering together also broadened Zhou Xiao's horizons.

  "Will I be able to stand in the center of such a venue in the future?" Zhou Xiao couldn't help but think as she looked at the stage.

  From the exit of the passageway to the media artist seat, there is still a distance. Zhou Xiao brought Kogure Yui, under the guidance of the staff, found their position. Along the way, Kogure Yui was overwhelmed by the many familiar faces in the media seats.

  "It's just Auntie and Grandma! Huh, is that person Kintarō Ninomiya? And next to him is Akashiya Sanma!? Wow, there's also Matsuko Deluxe!"

  Kondo Masahiko should be considered the biggest superstar cultivated by SMAP before Kimura Takuya, he was the most popular idol star in the 80s, his song "Yuuhi no Kaori" was covered by Anita Mui, and Priscilla Chan re-wrote the lyrics and sang it, making it a household name among Chinese-speaking communities around the world, this re-written song was named "Qian Qian Que Ge".

  Akashiya Sanma is one of Japan's most famous comedians, and as for Matsuko Deluxe, she is considered to be the best on-screen couple with Takuya Kimura.

  To get to their seats, Zhou Xiao and the girl still had to climb over several people. Seeing this situation, Zhou Xiao whispered: "The opportunity has come!" He turned his head to glance at Ogawa Yūko, pretending to be very natural, but actually subtly stretching out his hand to pull the girl: "Be careful."

  The girl's hand was soft and weak, and at the moment of contact, Zhou Xiao felt that his whole body was about to melt into sweetness. As for Ogura Yui, who was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Xiao, a flush instantly rose to her face, but she didn't struggle, instead, she slightly tightened her grip on the boy's hand and followed him carefully to their position.

  Some people recognized him on the road, and those who didn't know him would mostly respond with a smile. The shyness of the young men and women made these people who had experienced countless grand scenes look at Zhou Xiao with some embarrassment.

  "As for Zhou Xiao himself, he secretly muttered: 'Let's see if you can still keep this calm later!'"

  Finally arrived at his own seat, Zhou Xiao reluctantly let go of Ogura Yui's hand, and after waiting for a while, the lights in the entire dome dimmed.

  "It's starting!" Zhou Xiao also had a slight excitement, while the fans around her were even more excited, they all stood up, ready to welcome the appearance of their idol SMAP.

  But at this moment, behind the scenes, a big show has also started.

  "I'm going to say it before the concert!" Takuya Kimura said. The four people standing in front of him were brothers who had been through thick and thin together for over a decade. It could be said that Kimura's ability to persevere up until now was not unrelated to the support of these brothers. Without their support, it would have been impossible for Kimura to single-handedly defy the will of Johnny's Entertainment.

  "Isn't it supposed to be said at the end?" asked Kusanagi from Smap.

  "I can't say it at the end, I see that Tako Obasan and Keko-chan have come, until the end, I'm worried they'll stop me!" said Kimura.

  "Don't worry, speak up! We'll support you!" said Inoue Gorō.

  "Well... I'm counting on you!" said Kimura.

  "Don't worry, we'll take care of the lighting and photography. As long as those two aspects are guaranteed, and then guarantee the on-site director, I believe the live broadcast will definitely be successful!" Nakai Masahiro said.

  Janice's concert, the members who hold concerts will be heavily involved in the production of the entire live show, from stage design to song arrangement, which is also why SMAP can suddenly change the flow before the opening and privately announce their marriage news. The main reason is that they have a very familiar working relationship with the entire live team, rather than simply entrusting a planning team like ordinary singers.
