Japanese big things

After sending the reporter to the station and watching each other disappear into the carriage, Nakamura Masahiro and Takei Saki slowly left.

"Takei-san, you don't want to go back now?"

Strolling along the bustling street, Nakamura Masahiro turned to look at Takei Saki who was walking beside him, and asked: "Right..."

"Um...."

Takei Saki nodded frankly and replied with a slightly aggrieved tone: "If I go back now, the office will definitely arrange a lot of work for me right away."

With the box office performance of the movie "Model Student" soaring, Takei Saki, as the main protagonist, has seen a significant increase in popularity and popularity.

It is definitely not comparable to those seniors who have always been on the front line, but among the new generation of actors, Takei Saki is definitely in the lead.

Seeing that Takei Saki's value is rising, the Oscar firm she belongs to will certainly not let the opportunity to make money slip away, and it is inevitable to arrange intensive work.

If we don't take advantage of Takei Saki's rising popularity to get more advertisements and endorsements, then Oscar Firm will no longer be a qualified firm.

When it comes to squeezing their artists, agencies in the entertainment industry are all familiar with it, and the difference is just in the degree of severity.

Of course, in Takei Saki's eyes, she was very resistant: although she couldn't resist, the idea of ​​​​preparing for destruction had already begun to brew in her heart.

"Isn't that normal? The artist's career is like this..."

Masahiro Nakamura made a disapproving comment, saying that Takei Saki would be resistant to work. If it were other artists, they would wish that the agency would arrange more work.

"If you don't make more money while it's popular, and when the heat passes, even if you want to work hard to make money, you won't have many opportunities."

Compared with the environment on the other side, where artists can easily make money, the competition in the Japanese entertainment industry is fierce, and there are not many opportunities for practitioners to make money.

Therefore, if you can't seize the time to make more money when you are popular, it will be even harder to make money when you are over.

In the entertainment industry, news circulates from time to time that some low-level artists or down-and-out seniors are having a difficult life. In addition to not being able to get ahead, the reason is that they did not seize the only opportunity to make money.

Although the top artists in the entertainment industry earn a lot of money, not many can maintain their top status all the time. Most of the famous artists are like shooting stars, quickly disappearing from the audience's sight.

"No matter how hard I work, how much can I earn?"

Obviously, Takei Saki has a clear understanding of the matter of making money: the contract she signed with the agency is still for a new employee, and even if she makes money, not much will fall into her hands.

For example, in the remuneration of movies and TV series, the portion given to the artist is not large. After the agency takes a commission, you can imagine the remaining amount.

The so-called "yishuang" unit of measurement for film remuneration is simply impossible to appear in the Japanese entertainment industry, and all forces in the entertainment industry will not allow it.

Nakamura Masahiro sighed sadly, quite acknowledging Takei Saki's sobriety in the world. He thought about it for a while, and then asked with a slightly serious tone.

"Takei-san, what are your thoughts on the career of an artist?"

"Well...."

The pace of moving forward couldn't help but slow down a bit. Takei Saki raised his head and thought for a while, and then replied in a hesitant tone: "First try to do your best, and then find a suitable person to get married."

"Your idea..."

A look of astonishment filled Nakamura Masahiro's face. He looked at Takei Saki blankly, and for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate it?

By the way, it seems that Takei Saki is not yet an adult, right? She is so young, but she already has such precocious ideas?

"The firm will definitely not agree with my idea..."

Seeing Masahiro Nakamura's slightly exaggerated reaction, Takei Saki couldn't help laughing at himself, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"So, Director Nakamura, please keep it secret for me."

"Well, no problem..."

Nakamura Masahiro readily agreed. This was Takei Saki's personal idea, and of course he would not reveal it to the Oscar agency where the girl worked.

Of course, if his subordinate Yoshioka Riho had such an idea, then Nakamura Masahiro would immediately talk to Yoshioka Riho and give up her idea.

Just kidding, the purpose of training artists is to make money. If the investment is not returned and the artist is thinking about getting married, isn't that a loss-making business?

The Japanese entertainment industry is not as open as the entertainment industry on the other side. Married artists have no room for fans to imagine, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot compare to being single.

In a sense, once an artist chooses to get married, it means that her career has basically no possibility of continuing to rise, and will only slowly decline.

Kimura Takuya, who was once at the top of his game, was an absolute idol king, but after marrying Shizuka Kudo, he inevitably declined significantly.

If he hadn't become famous thanks to his TV series, he would have been completely frozen and banned by Johnny & Associates, and eliminated by the powerful update in the entertainment industry.

"By the way, Director Nakamura..."

After walking in silence for a while, the pedestrians on the street became a lot thinner. Takei Saki suddenly turned to look at Masahiro Nakamura and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you are going to Cannes soon?"

"Um...."

Although I don’t know why Takei Saki asked this? But Nakamura Masahiro didn’t think much about it. He nodded firmly.

"That...."

With a twinkling look in his eyes, Takei Saki hesitated for a moment and said in a tentative tone: "Can you take me with you?"

"You want to go to Cannes?"

Subconsciously raising his eyebrows, Nakamura Masahiro looked at Takei Saki with playful eyes, not quite agreeing with her idea.

"If you want to go, you can mention it to Oscar's office and they should agree..."

"They won't agree..."

Before Nakamura Masahiro finished speaking, Takei Saki shook his head and replied with a slightly resentful tone: "I heard from my agent that the agency has received some invitations for advertising endorsements, and they are discussing which one is suitable."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't know what to say for a moment. When the Oscar agency received an invitation from an advertising endorsement, it would definitely give priority to making money. There was a high chance that they would not agree to letting Takei Saki go to Cannes.

After all, the movie "Model Student" participating in the Cannes Film Festival is just for screening and does not involve the competition for awards. It doesn't matter whether Takei Saki goes there or not.

"Since your office doesn't agree, there's no point in telling me..."

Nakamura Masahiro expressed his refusal very tactfully. He could understand Takei Saki's desire to avoid work, but he would not do anything to offend Oscar's agency.

Taking a look at Masahiro Nakamura's expressionless face, Takei Saki couldn't help but feel a sense of discouragement. Her plan was probably going to fail.

The conversation came to an end, and the two of them continued walking slowly in silence. As they approached the shopping street, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

The sky has become a bit darker, and the originally bright sky seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, giving me an inexplicable feeling of melancholy.

The street lights on the street began to light up one after another, and the dim yellow light spread out wantonly. When paired with the colorful neon lights in the shopping street, it kind of complemented each other.

When passing by an izakaya, Takei Saki suddenly stopped and turned her head to stare at the izakaya's sign.

"What's wrong?"

Subconsciously, he also stopped. Nakamura Masahiro followed the girl's gaze to the izakaya and asked an unknown question.

"Director Nakamura, come have a drink with me..."

After saying that, Takei Saki didn't wait for Nakamura Masahiro's answer, and walked straight into the izakaya as if he had made some kind of determination.

Uh, what's going on? Why did Takei Saki enter the izakaya? Does she want to drink?

Complex thoughts filled Nakamura Masahiro's mind, and it wasn't until Takei Saki's figure disappeared at the door of the izakaya that he reacted belatedly.

After hesitating for two seconds, Nakamura Masahiro also stepped into the izakaya and immediately saw Takei Saki sitting against the wall.

Seeing Nakamura Masahiro coming in, Takei Saki's lips raised a smile, and she specially extended her hand to wave towards Nakamura Masahiro.

"Why do you suddenly want to drink?"

Moving to the table and sitting down, Nakamura Masahiro observed the customers in the store, but no one paid attention to them, which made Nakamura Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief.

Now is the hot period for the release of the movie "Model Student". If it were revealed that the heroine Takei Saki drank alcohol, it would be a complete scandal and would also cause heavy damage to the rising box office results.

If you were on the other side, this would be a trivial matter. Let alone drinking if you are over 18 years old. Even if you are drinking underage, as long as you do not do anything illegal after drinking, it will not have much impact.

But this is not the case in Japan. Although no one cares about drinking in private, if it is exposed to the public, it is a violation of the law.

After all, Japan's laws clearly stipulate that minors under the age of twenty are prohibited from drinking alcohol, which is illegal.

"I feel very upset..."

Takei Saki replied in a low mood, and then called to the izakaya clerk for some snacks and two bottles of sake.

"If you want to drink, we can go back and drink."

After the clerk walked away, Nakamura Masahiro lowered his voice and said, "It's easy to be discovered if you drink outside."

"Don't worry, Director Nakamura, no one will find out..."

Takei Saki said confidently: "No one will recognize me today, let alone be discovered here."

There was a bit of complacency in his words. Takei Saki thought that his disguise today was pretty good and he was not recognized by anyone.

From another perspective, it also proves that Takei Saki, an artist who has just become famous, lacks background and his popularity is limited to those who have watched the movie.

Somewhat worried, he once again observed the customers in the store to confirm that no one was paying attention to him and Takei Saki. Nakamura Masahiro said in a deep voice: "I'll say it again, if you want to drink, go back and drink."

If Takei Saki's drinking was exposed, it would affect the movie box office. This would be unacceptable to all parties who invested in "Model Student".

Therefore, even if it arouses Takei Saki's dissatisfaction and resistance, Nakamura Masahiro cannot let her drink wantonly here.

"I see...."

Takei Saki suddenly fell silent, and her original happy mood gradually dissipated. She pursed her lips and called the izakaya clerk.

"Excuse me, please help me pack my things...and add six bottles of wine."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Although the clerk was a little confused, he didn't think much about it. He quickly brought the packaging box, packed it quickly, and handed it to Takei Saki.

After paying the bill, Nakamura Masahiro and Takei Saki left the izakaya and then checked into a chain hotel nearby.

"Director Nakamura, no one will find out now... I want to drink with you until dawn."
