Chapter Fifty-One: Gamblers in the Entertainment Circle

As soon as this statement came out, all the men present were a little angry.

Especially for people like Sasaki Takagi who have worked with Mizuhara Yui for a long time, they all regard Mizuhara Yui as a trustworthy partner and junior, which is no different from asking their daughter or wife to accompany him for a drink.

"Not today. I'm too drunk. Please tell Mr. Takada that I'm sorry." Mizuhara Yui replied.

"What about Miss Araki?" the woman wearing glasses continued to ask.

"I...I..." Araki Kiko's expression was a little stiff.

Mizuhara Yui said: "I am her producer, and I won't let her leave. How dare she leave? Don't embarrass her."

"I understand." The woman wearing glasses closed the door and left.

Mizuhara Yui rescued Araki Kiko, but Araki Kiko's face was a little complicated and she smiled at Mizuhara Yui.

"This bastard! You look down on people!" Hide Hasegawa cursed.

"Why don't you let his mother go drink with you!" Sasaki Takagi also shouted.

Everyone started a new round of verbal abuse against Takada Kenji, and they cursed him while drinking. Fortunately, everyone here tasted pretty good wine, and there were no reckless people who wanted to fight Takada Kenji after drinking.

After a while, Araki Kiko picked up her bag, walked to Mizuhara Yui, and whispered: "Miss Mizuhara, I'm sorry, I feel a little unwell, can you take a step forward?"

Mizuhara Yui glanced at her: "If you want to go, then go."

"I'm sorry...please understand..."

Kiko Araki bowed to Yui Mizuhara several times before carrying her bag and walking out of the private room.

Kei Fujiwara sipped his tea and said nothing. If nothing else, Kiko Araki must have been invited to Kenji Takada's private room.

It’s easy to guess what Kiko Araki wants, that is, she hopes to catch up with Kenji Takada and maybe have the opportunity to participate in his TV series in the future.

But can you get the qualification to participate in the role by pleasing the producer? For an actor who thinks this way, Fujiwara Kei can only wish her good luck. In the industry, there are countless directors, producers and even assistants who cheat by participating in roles.

Yes, but if you sleep, you will sleep. So what if you don’t deliver? Do you still dare to expose us? Do you still want to join this circle?

In fact, actresses are not stupid, and they often know that the other party is trying to make money, but the entertainment industry is a big gambling table. If you don't place a bet, you will never win.

Of course, it is precisely because many people have such a gambler mentality that they end up losing their entire lives.

Mizuhara Yui's face finally fell. Araki Kiko looked very unhappy after she left. Before, she could still force out a smile even if she was asked to accompany him for a drink, but now she is really a little angry.

Kiko Araki is still considered a member of her program team, but she was asked by someone to accompany her for a drink. That guy Kenji Takada was deliberately humiliating the entire "Anthropological Observation" program team.

More dishes were brought out, and Mizuhara Yui was no longer in the mood to eat, so she poked and poked in the bowl with a pair of chopsticks.

Fujiwara Kei has a very good appetite. He hasn't eaten such authentic Chinese food in Japan for a long time. The Ushikawa stir-fry was really good. It looked like it was made by a Cantonese chef with certain skills. Unfortunately, he didn't have the lion's head goose that he wanted so much.

But that thing is too expensive. If he can make a TV series with a ratings of more than 30%, he will have the confidence to ask Mizuhara Yui to order one for him.

After drinking for two rounds, everyone had a good meal and drink. After walking out of the restaurant and passing by Takada Kenji's private room, Mizuhara Yui deliberately took a look inside. The private room was already empty. She didn't know if the group of people had left the show or were going to the next show.

. Araki Kiko didn’t know whether she went home by herself or followed him.

"Miss Mizuhara, who is that Takada Kenji...?"

"A popular producer within the production bureau, last year produced a drama with a ratings of 21%. He has worked on three dramas in his career, all with ratings above 16." Mizuhara Yui looked a little discouraged, but immediately

He added: "But the high ratings are also because he can get prime time. If we can get this time, our results will not be lower than his, right, Fujiwara?"

Mizuhara Yui looked up at Kei Fujiwara with a little expectation in her eyes, as if hoping to get a positive answer.

This was the first time that Kei Fujiwara saw Yui Mizuhara showing such a cute look, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are right, Miss Mizuhara, we will definitely impress people."

After the dinner that day, most people took taxis home. Kei Fujiwara thought it was too expensive, so he still chose to walk back.

When filming the next day, Kiko Araki came to the studio as usual, and Yui Mizuhara didn't show any unpleasant expression in front of her. It seemed like everything was business as usual.

"The sales volume of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" has broken the record again!"

Hearing this good news, Itagaki Kazuhiko's face showed joy, because this issue of "White Night Journey" still ranks first in various statistics, and it is the first in the gap. Now the second and third place combined cannot shake it.

location.

On the one hand, the story of "White Night Journey" is really exciting. On the other hand, for Itagaki Kazuhiko, the great news is that the famous mystery reviewer Shinichi Chiba actually wrote a book review of "White Night Journey".

And it’s also extremely complimentary.

Chiba Shinichi is very famous in the industry. After his recommendation, many people who love mystery novels became interested in "White Night Journey", so they went to the rental bookstore to rent old issues of the magazine, which further stimulated the interest of this issue.

Magazine sales.

"White Night Walk" has been serialized to its tenth chapter, and there are still three chapters left before it will be concluded.

The editorial department is already busy preparing for the publication. It is tentatively planned to print an initial print of 20,000 copies, and if it is sold out, it will be printed again.

Twenty thousand copies may not sound like a lot, but in fact, many mystery novels cannot sell this number. For newcomers, the first printing of 20,000 copies is already very good.

However, if you want to sell a book more, it is not enough to rely on the recommendations of book reviewers. Itagaki Kazuhiko must win the recommendation of more important people. The author's responsibility is to create content, and the rest is left to the editor.

For a novel, the most important recommender is naturally a well-known novelist.

Itagaki Kazuhiko took out a gift box from under his desk, walked to a female colleague, and handed the gift box with a smile: "Ms. Ozawa, I have been working hard recently. This is a handmade chocolate that I asked a friend to buy abroad. I can't do it very well."

If you want to eat something sweet, try it."

Ozawa Anka took off her headphones, glanced at Itagaki Kazuhiko, and said, "Mr. Itagaki, you seem to be married, right?"

Itagaki Kazuhiko was stunned: "Ah, yes."

"Be careful what I tell your wife."

Itagaki Kazuhiko's face suddenly turned red and he threw the gift box on the table as if he was electrocuted. "You misunderstood. I want to ask you to do something."

"Just say it. What's the matter?"

"I want Mr. Miyano to write a recommendation for "White Night Journey". Can you please help me with Mr. Miyano?"

Ozawa Anka is the long-term editor of the famous writer Miyano Mika. Miyano Mika does not like to deal with outsiders. In the entire Spring and Autumn Society, Ozawa Anka and Miyano Mika are the most talkative.

Ozawa Anxiang shook her head: "Miyano-sensei doesn't make recommendations for others easily, and you know that."

After saying that, she scratched her face: "I remember that "White Night Journey" ranked well, do you still need a recommendation?"

"After all, this is a new work by a newcomer, and it needs support from seniors." Itagaki Kazuhiko sighed.

Ozawa Anxiang hesitated for a moment and said: "I have read that book, and I think it is quite good... But Mr. Miyano must have read the work when writing a recommendation. I can mention this to Mr. Miyano.

, but it’s up to her to decide whether to write or not.”

"Of course, thank you very much..." Itagaki Kazuhiko thanked him, thought for a while and then said: "I will give you the entire manuscript later, please give it to Mr. Miyano."
