Japanese big things

October in autumn is a harvest season. As time goes by, the broadcast time of the TBS TV series "Antarctica" is getting closer and closer.

From the southernmost Okinawa to the northernmost Hokkaido, the focus of the entire Japanese society is the upcoming broadcast of "Antarctica". The strong publicity ability of TBS TV station has been fully confirmed.

Even Aoi Miyazaki, who has been making a lot of noise recently due to divorce rumors, can only take a backseat to the page, unwillingly giving up the throne of the newspaper headlines.

After all, the cast of "Antarctica" is indeed luxurious, and the efficiency of their full-scale publicity cannot be underestimated.

Whether it’s the Japanese TV drama king Takuya Kimura who plays the main role, or Haruka Ayase, Masato Sakai and Teruyuki Kagawa who play supporting roles.

When they are actively engaged in business, their presence is indispensable in popular variety shows and newspaper headlines.

Riding on the public opinion momentum of this publicity, the already high popularity of "Antarctica" has once again been greatly improved.

During this period, Masahiro Nakamura worked overtime to shoot the advertisement for his appearance, which was also aired in a timely manner to take advantage of the hot spots.

From Suntory to Honda, the continuous airing of several advertisements has undoubtedly aroused widespread heated discussion, indirectly increasing the popularity of "Antarctica".

For a time, Nakamura Masahiro once again broke into the sight of a large number of people, and the impression that was almost annihilated was once again deepened, engraved in their hearts like a seal.

Although when he won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, Masahiro Nakamura had already risen to fame and left a first impression on the public.

However, the number of Japanese people who pay attention to entertainment news is limited after all, and the heat caused by it has long passed. After a while, not many people can remember Nakamura Masahiro.

"Has Shoji come back?"

After coming out of TBS TV station, Masahiro Nakamura returned to the office, and then asked Kana Kimura at the front desk.

"President, he is in the lounge."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Nakamura Masahiro ignored the staff in the office area and went straight to the lounge.

"Meixiang, are you saying that the Yoshioka-san family has doubts about affairs?"

"Well, they kind of doubt the firm's ability."

"Then, if that's the case, Yoshioka-san won't sign the contract?"

"That's not true. Her family has already signed the contract."

"Uh? What do you mean?"

"Yoshioka-san took the initiative to persuade her family, and then we successfully completed the contract."

There was a slight creaking sound, and Masahiro Nakamura pushed the door open. In the lounge, Shoji Ojo and Mika Ito were still talking.

"Nakamura-san, are you back?"

Oshiro Shoji stopped talking, turned to look at Nakamura Masahiro who had already entered the room, and said hello casually.

"President..."

Mika Ito also said hello, and then looked at Nakamura Masahiro respectfully and sat on the sofa nearby.

"just came back...."

Nakamura Masahiro nodded in response, then glanced at Ojo Shoji and Ito Mika.

"I just heard you talking about Yoshioka Riho-san. How is it?"

"President, the contract has been successfully signed."

Shoji Oshiro picked up the water glass and took a sip. Mika Ito, who was in charge of the matter, had to answer on her own.

"OK...."

Nakamura Masahiro wasn't very concerned about Riho Yoshioka's signing. He just nodded and turned his attention to Shoji Ojo.

"When are you going to see the apartment building?"

"Don't you want to take a break?"

He glanced at Nakamura Masahiro with some surprise. Ojo Shoji didn't expect that Nakamura Masahiro wanted to leave as soon as he came back.

"It's okay to be late, just give them a call."

"Since you've made an appointment, don't be late."

Nakamura Masahiro shook his head, his expression calm as usual, without the slightest sign of fatigue.

"I'm not too tired to begin with, so there's no need to rest."

"Okay, let's set off now."

Ojo Shoji didn't think much about it. Since Nakamura Masahiro was willing to leave now, he could handle it as soon as possible.

We originally made an appointment before, but due to the filming of commercials, it was postponed, so we made the appointment again to today.

"By the way, why didn't you see Yoshioka Riho-san?"

After getting up and walking out of the lounge with Shoji Ojo, Masahiro Nakamura glanced around the office and did not see Riho Yoshioka.

"She will stay at home for a while to spend time with her family, and will report to the office later."

Oshiro Shoji walked out of the office without stopping, and while walking forward with Nakamura Masahiro, he answered casually.

"After all, if you become an artist, you may not have so much leisure time."

A smile appeared on his face, and Oshiro Shoji said with a smile: "If the firm she signed with is a small firm with few resources, it may be idle because there is no work."

"But we don't lack resources. In addition to receiving acting training, we also have to attend frequent interviews with the crew. It's impossible to leave much leisure time for her."

Nakamura Masahiro pursed his lips and didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. After all, he had nothing to say at this moment.

As Shoji Oshiro said, after Riho Yoshioka reported to the office, he would soon be involved in busy training and work.

At that time, it may be difficult to have a relatively leisurely rest time.

For artists in the Japanese entertainment industry, as long as the office does not lack resources, their work arrangements are often relatively intensive.

Those who can take a leisurely vacation are either popular artists who have already made their mark, or they are low-level artists in small offices who are busy at home scratching their own feet.

Otherwise, unless you choose to completely ruin it, the agency will actively seek resources and arrange work for its contracted artists.

From the 8-chome of the office to the 6-chome of the apartment building, Oshiro Shoji and Nakamura Masahiro walked and chatted, and they arrived quickly.

"Ojo-san, Supervisor Nakamura..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The real estate agent obviously arrived earlier than Ojo Shoji and Nakamura Masahiro. He looked around and found the two figures, and immediately greeted them and came over.

"Sorry to keep you waiting...."

Ojo Shoji responded politely, and Nakamura Masahiro on the side also nodded.

"It's okay, actually I came early..."

The real estate agent exchanged warm greetings, and then took Ojo Shoji and Nakamura Masahiro to visit the apartment building again.

Shoji Oshiro has actually seen it, and the main purpose this time is to have Masahiro Nakamura come over and take a look at it, and then sign the contract.

Although with Nakamura Masahiro's authorization, Oshiro Shoji can also make decisions. But after all, the purchase of an apartment building involves a huge amount of money. No matter how bold Ojo Shoji is, he still needs Nakamura Masahiro's intervention.

After walking around the apartment building, Nakamura Masahiro, under the guidance of the real estate agent, looked at each floor and some rooms in turn.

"How about it?"

While the real estate agent was outside the door, Shoji Ojo asked Masahiro Nakamura for his opinion.

"No problem, just sign it."

Nakamura Masahiro nodded and replied firmly. There is really nothing to fault about this apartment building, and it will definitely not be a loss to buy it.

"OK...."

Oshiro Shoji responded, then turned around and called in the real estate agent outside.

Knowing that Masahiro Nakamura had no objections, the real estate agent immediately took out the contract that had been prepared with a smile on his face.

"Ojo-san, Supervisor Nakamura, if you have any needs for real estate in the future, please let me know."

After the contract was signed and the real estate transaction was successfully concluded, the real estate agent did not forget to continue to build relationships.

"sure."

Shoji Ojo nodded politely in response, and Masahiro Nakamura also nodded with a smile.

"Then, I'll take the first step."

The real estate agent carefully collected the contract, said a few more polite words, and then said goodbye.

Ojo Shoji sent the other party downstairs, and then returned to Nakamura Masahiro.

"Shoji, if it's downstairs, you can arrange it with the office staff."

Masahiro Nakamura led Shoji Ojo to the roof of the apartment. There was an open-air platform above, which was very suitable for stretching the body and mind.

"The upper floors are reserved for artists. It's very close to the office, so it's convenient for commuting to and from get off work."

"Do ordinary employees also need to make arrangements?"

Shoji Oshiro asked with some surprise: Although the top executives of the agencies in the entertainment industry can indeed enjoy a lot of conveniences, ordinary employees do not have such conditions.

"You can ask, if you are willing to move to an apartment building, we can arrange it."

Looking at the rows of high-rise buildings in the distance, Nakamura Masahiro pondered for a moment, and then sighed again.

"The rent can be discounted, but the firm doesn't expect to make money from this anyway."

"After all, there are not enough houses in this apartment building to live in. If we don't want to keep them idle, we may have to rent some out later."

Oshiro Shoji curled his lips, he thought Nakamura Masahiro was going to arrange free accommodation for ordinary employees?

However, this is normal. Being able to get some reductions and discounts on rent is actually pretty good.

After all, the Japanese entertainment industry agency arranges apartments for artists. Although the rent is not calculated, the cost is also included in the cost.

Time always passes quietly, and the sky becomes darker unconsciously.

Some of the neon lights in the high-rise buildings began to flash, as listless as the stars that got up early to go to work.

A slight noise sounded from far to near, like a buzzing bee.

Nakamura Masahiro felt the comfort of the breeze blowing on his face, and his eyes casually scanned the scenery in his field of vision.

Inadvertently, I saw a familiar small office between the buildings in the distance.

"Shoji, is that our office?"

"Well, it seems..."

Oshiro Shoji followed Nakamura Masahiro's gaze, made a slight calculation, and gave a positive answer.
