My Entertainment Circle

Zhang Pingan, Mai Shiraishi, and her manager were eating barbecue while chatting about his investment in her photo album. In fact, when the agent heard about this at first, he thought it was quite strange. Why did Zhang Pingan want to personally invest in her photos? Zhang Pingan is not a magazine publisher, so his sudden investment is a bit unjustifiable, so the agent directly asked Shiraishi Mai if there was anything with Zhang Pingan...?

Shiraishi Mai also responded to her agent with a confused look at the time: "I don't know why? If we really have something, I think it's normal for him to invest in my personal photos or something. But. The problem is that we haven’t even touched each other, and I was confused when I heard him talk about it, and I still can’t figure it out.”

With all the doubts, the two of them came to the appointment, and Zhang Ping'an was very cheerful. After a few simple greetings, he went directly to the topic. I asked if their company had any requirements for Shiraishi Mai’s photo album.

The broker shook his head and said: "We don't have any requirements here. Forgive me for asking... Since it is your personal investment, I would like to ask how much is the investment this time? After all, it is a personal investment. ..The money spent on publicity is almost useless.”

Since it is a photo shoot, I must be thinking about gaining some fame or something through this photo shoot. But if the publicity is not done well, the sales will be affected, which is the same as not filming.

Zhang Ping'an looked at their agent and said: "Actually, this photo shoot with Mai Shiraishi is an attempt by me, and I will definitely not be stingy in terms of investment. I expected 10 million yen. If I use it for publicity in the future, If it’s not enough, I can add more at any time. However, don’t ask for extravagant prices just because my investment may be relatively large.”

The agent kept waving his hands and said: "This is definitely not the case. She is currently filming a photo shoot. Our company has set a signing bonus of one million yen. Is this price reasonable? In terms of sales, we need a 100% commission. Five.”

This price is very reasonable. Whether it is Mai Shiraishi's current worth or commission, etc., they are all normal prices in the market. After all, her photos are just swimsuits at most, and they are not revealing photos, so the signing fee she charges is in line with her popularity at this time, and she is not the 'main C' of the team at this time.

"OK, then prepare the contract here. Let's make an appointment to sign the contract tomorrow when we are free. By the way, do you have a publisher you are familiar with? Help contact one. I won't go find it myself. Photographer please It doesn’t matter if the cost is higher for a better one.”

The agent nodded and said: "Okay, I can contact you from the publishing house tomorrow. Can we call the people from the publishing house when we sign the contract tomorrow? Is that okay?"

"Then it's settled. The shooting location...where are the photos usually taken?" Zhang Ping'an looked at Shiraishi Mai and the two and asked.

The agent responded with a smile: "I really don't know about this, because every shooting location is decided by the publishing house."

"Publishing house, but this time it is my investment... Is it okay to find a team of stylists in South Korea? I remembered..." As he said this, Zhang Pingan took out his phone and called Sika in South Korea: "at home?"

Sika responded: "Well, I'm at home, I'm eating. Didn't you just send a message saying that you were going out to eat? Why did you call me suddenly?"

“You have a familiar stylist;

Makeup artists, right? How about letting them go on a business trip for a shoot? I plan to use a Korean stylist for this ‘photo shoot’. I think it’s pretty good to use a Korean stylist for Mai Shiraishi’s appearance. "

Sika asked: "Okay, let me contact you. Where do you plan to shoot the location this time?"

"Well... Los Angeles, it's more beautiful over there."

"I know, I'll tell them. When will you come back?"

"After signing the contract."

"I know, I'll wait for you to come back."

After hanging up the phone with Sika, Zhang Pingan said to the two people who couldn't understand Korean: "I plan to use all Koreans for the styling team this time. Also, the shooting location has been decided to be in Los Angeles. There is no problem with your schedule. Bar?"

"No problem. Once you decide on the shooting time, we will make it available in advance. There will definitely be no delay in shooting."

"Okay, let's eat. That's all for today. After the styling team has been contacted, I will inform you of the shooting time?"

After everything was said and done, the remaining time for the three of them was filled with eating, drinking and chatting.

But halfway through the meal, Yui Aragaki came over with a smile and said to Zhang Pingan: "Ping An-san, thank you for your hospitality. We have already eaten."

Zhang Ping'an in front of him whispered to the waiter after taking his seat that he would pay the bill for Yui Aragaki's table first. Zhang Ping'an first gave 50,000 yen to the waiter, and the more they paid would be refunded and the less they would be compensated. After their table was settled, if there was any leftover, they could just pay for it and eat it themselves.

When Yui Aragaki and his party finished their meal and asked the waiter to pay the bill, they realized that Zhang Pingan had already settled their bill for them, so Yui Aragaki came to thank Zhang Pingan before leaving.

When Shiraishi Mai and her agent discovered that the person who came to say goodbye was actually the 'national-level actress' Aragaki Yui, they were both extremely surprised. Shiraishi Mai wanted to get up from her chair and greet Aragaki Yui, but there was no connection between them. When she was hesitating, her manager got up first and said to Yui: "Hello, gakki, I I’m Sony’s manager, and this is Mai Shiraishi, a member of Nogizaka46, the artist I’m leading. Mai, give my regards to seniors.”

Under the guidance of her manager, Mai Shiraishi quickly stood up from her chair and greeted Yui Aragaki. Yui smiled and said: "Hello, Kawaii." After a simple compliment, Yui turned around Turning his head towards Zhang Pingan, he said, "Then I won't disturb your meal."

"Okay, see you later."

Yui thought Zhang Ping'an would ask for her phone number, but who knew he would say "see you again when you have a chance"? She smiled softly and nodded: "Then...see you again when we have a chance."

...

After Yui Aragaki left, Mai Shiraishi's manager said: "I didn't expect Heian-san to know Gakki?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "When I was studying in Tokyo, I was a classmate with her, and we had an ordinary classmate relationship. When I was studying, she started filming TV series and the like. I really didn't expect her development to be so great. so good."

The agent smiled and said: "Because Gakki is really beautiful and gentle. She is our national ideal type."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and agreed with his point of view, but also added: "Mai is not bad either. I believe that Mai's future will definitely develop well. It seems that this time the promotion will take more effort."

After drinking a few beers, the agent said: "I'm going to the bathroom first."

After he left, Zhang Pingan said to Shiraishi Mai: "Do you have time after dinner?"

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Shiraishi Mai nodded and said, "Yes, there are no work arrangements for today and tomorrow."

Although she said this, Shiraishi Mai was thinking 'here we are' in her heart. Her guess was that Zhang Pingan had invested so much in her and must have wanted to recover some 'interest'. Of course, she is willing to pay a little interest, after all, this is about her future career. With the support of a super funder like Zhang Pingan, her future personal career will definitely develop better than that of other members.

"After dinner, let's go sing. I looked at the time and it's still early. I'm bored going home alone, so I thought I'd go have some fun."

No matter how Zhang Pingan is trying to cover up himself at this time, in Shiraishi Mai's view, these are just paving the way for tonight's 'thing'. Of course, Mai Shiraishi was embarrassed to refuse his invitation, after all, the job had just been finalized.

She smiled and nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, her agent came back, and Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "By the way, where can I buy a second-hand car in Tokyo? I may come to Tokyo for only a month or two a year, and it's really inconvenient not to have a car. So. I just want to buy a second-hand car for daily transportation."

It's really inconvenient not to have a car. I have to take a taxi when I go out. And there are no traffic jams in Tokyo, so it’s not a bad idea to buy a car and keep it at home.

Hearing that Zhang Pingan wanted to buy a second-hand car, he was a little confused and said: "There are many second-hand car markets, and they are very cheap."

Looking at the agent's confused eyes, Zhang Ping'an began to pretend silently: "Yeah, I just saw that buying cars in Japan is cheaper, so I wanted to buy a Lamborghini. I usually drive a reliable Rolls-Royce in Seoul. Les, it’s like trying Daniu in Tokyo. After all, the traffic here is not as congested as in Seoul, so it’s not bad to try Daniu.”

"...." Most Japanese people think of buying cars in small 'square boxes', but the second-hand car Zhang Ping'an mentioned is a Lamborghini?

The agent smiled and said: "Such high-end cars can only be found in second-hand car dealers near Ginza. You can go there and have a look. They have Ferraris and Lamborghinis."

"I don't want Ferrari. I have a Lafa and I haven't driven it yet. I'll only drive it for about a year. I don't live in Tokyo permanently. It's not cost-effective to buy a new car and keep it for a year or two to calculate the depreciation." .”

"That's true. If you have time, you can go to Ginza during the day. They are all places selling luxury cars."

In fact, Zhang Ping'an didn't want to buy anything big, he just wanted to buy a Land Rover or something that was easy to load things. But when chatting at this time, you have to pretend to beep.
