My Entertainment Circle

Tokyo under the neon lights reveals its magical nature. There are passers-by on the street who are rushing home, and there are also people who go out to have fun, and there are even some women who cannot afford to eat standing on the roadside waiting to be approached and invited to eat. (PS: Don’t think this is made up by Samsara, because there is a YouTuber who specifically exposed and filmed a video of girls standing on the street waiting to be approached during dinner time. The location where they stood was an izakaya not far from Ginza. On the street, their purpose is to wait for someone to talk to them before going to eat, and some of the women they encounter are really good-looking.)

There are really many people striking up conversations on the streets of Japan. According to statistics, 20% of Japanese men have had experience in striking up conversations, which is equivalent to one in five men! And people who strike up a conversation like to use the phrase "Let's have a few drinks and I'll treat you." ’ or ‘I feel a little bored eating alone, can I invite you to eat something delicious with me? ’ Anyway, Japanese conversation starters always use ‘eat’.

And because there are so many people chatting up, there are many girls who can't afford food just waiting to be chatted up. Don’t think it’s ridiculous that I can’t afford to eat, it’s a fact!

Because it is really difficult for women to find jobs in Japan. Even if they find a part-time job in an izakaya or something, the hourly wage for women is lower than that for men. Moreover, renting a house in Tokyo is really expensive. They work part-time jobs and there are many people who cannot afford to eat after paying the rent. There is a special documentary about this!

When they couldn't afford to eat, and when the izakaya where they worked daily was not very busy, and the boss didn't need odd hours, they would either wait to be talked to, or... just stand and wait in the back streets of Akihabara ( I understand, of course I understand!)

Ordinary people, especially those who go to Tokyo as high school students, their lives are more helpless, especially those who go to Beijing with dreams...survival has become a very serious problem. Food and transportation are expensive, and Japanese people rarely ask for help from home when they reach adulthood. Of course, those families living in rural cities are unable to help even if they want to. Therefore, many women face the most realistic and basic thing after going to Beijing: survival!

When you can't survive, you have no choice but to choose some 'special' profession! There are some things they are not willing to do, but they have to do so in order to survive...

Especially in a place like Tokyo, it would be great to have a place where you can stay before you become famous. You must know that there are many so-called underground idols. They are glamorous on stage, but after the tour is over, six or seven of them may be crowded into a ten-square-meter basement.

It can be seen that those girls who go to Beijing for their dreams, even the girls with good appearance, find it very difficult to survive.

Not only do idols have a hard time surviving, but so do models. In fact, it’s accurate to say that models are more competitive because now all the members of well-known girl groups have become models! This makes the road even narrower for girls who dream of becoming the next 'Yi Ruoyi'. Because of the impact of idols, it is even more difficult for those ‘professional models’ to get along. Moreover, Japanese fashion magazines also like to use actors as models.

It's like "modeling" is a side job in the entertainment industry.

This makes it really difficult for those professional models to mix! And there are some large agencies, like Yuko Araki who worked part-time as a model before becoming an actor. So this road is really difficult before you become famous!

.......

At night, Zhang Ping'an and the other two were eating nigiri sushi worth 30,000 yen per person at a high-end sushi restaurant in Ginza. At this time, they ordered their own ramen for dinner from a very humble ramen shop called 'Baba Fumika'. Before waiting for her boss to serve her noodles, she sat down and picked up her phone and started scrolling. The Twitter icon already shows the amount of information ‘28’.

While waiting for the noodles to come out of the pot, she clicked on her Twitter and opened her private message... For 'Bachang Fumika', she was not well-known at this time, so she would click on every private message that came in. Of course, the private messages may contain some dirty news, or they may be messages of encouragement from fans who like her.

However, for her who is not well-known, every message of encouragement at this time is very precious. A word of encouragement from fans may be the strength to support her to keep going. This is why Zhang Ping'an sent her a private message in the morning, and she responded with "Thank you for your support." ’

She read the private messages one by one and closed the ones that were not nutritious, especially those that asked her to go out to eat or play, or even asked her if she was interested in filming a 'movie'. She chose to ignore them all and then closed them all. Now she saw the letter from the 'fan' this morning again. Well, that fan is Zhang Pingan... She thinks Zhang Pingan is a fan!

The news about Zhang Pingan this time was that 'he had a car accident because of her, and the vehicle was seriously damaged. ’ Then there are photos of the damage to the vehicle. It can be clearly seen in the photo that the damage to the front of the vehicle is very serious. You can’t even see the logo of the vehicle, but the appearance of the sports car is still so domineering. This is a man driving a sports car...

Although there are some photos of Zhang Pingan on Twitter, she is not a person who is addicted to Twitter, so she has not seen those photos of Zhang Pingan.

Driving a sports car also proves that Zhang Ping'an opposite is rich. Since we are rich, it would be good to chat, so Baba Fumika replied to Zhang Ping'an, 'Ah... I'm sorry, are you okay? ’

Of course, Zhang Pingan didn't hear her message after it was sent. He was eating delicious dinner with Emma and Yuko Araki at this time..

Zhang Pingan thought that sake and sushi were good. Yuko Araki took the wine cup and added wine to everyone.. Zhang Pingan took the fruity Jubilee and drank it in one gulp. Taking advantage of the alcohol, Zhang Pingan asked: "Isn't it always said that the economy is in a downturn? I'm just a little curious, as a model, how much is your salary for one shoot?"

Because it is very rude to ask about salary in Japan, no one will directly ask you how much you make a month. Even if you ask between friends, the other party may not answer you.

However, Yuko Araki had nothing to hide from Zhang Pingan, so she took the lead and said: "We are all exclusive models, and we have a reasonable signing fee when we sign the contract. But also because we are exclusive models, our salary for one shoot is very low, I only make tens of thousands of yen now!"

Because in the modeling circle, Yuko Araki has not reached the top level, and the price of tens of thousands of yen for one shoot is very reasonable.

As for exclusive models, it means that among similar fashion magazines, you can only accept shooting for this magazine unless you choose to graduate. Uh, photo shoots don't count.

After listening to Araki Yuko clearly stating her current shooting price, Emma hesitated for a while. She also felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, Zhang Pingan was willing to inquire about her current shooting price, so she said: "My current shooting price is about 100,000 yen."

Because most fashion magazines are published in "weekly", Zhang Pingan tilted his head and said: "Your exclusive models, how come there is a shooting once a week?"

Araki Yuko shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, because there are still many exclusive models in the magazine, sometimes a more famous model will occupy several pages at a time. And the number of pages in the weekly is limited, so there are not shootings every week."

"The modeling profession is not easy to mix." Zhang Pingan listened to Araki Yuko's story, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Emma smiled and said, "It's not easy to get into that circle nowadays. By the way, Forbes said that you have an income of at least 30 million US dollars a year. Is this true?"

Zhang Pingan laughed: "Well... I have explained the income issue to the media many times. The media only counts how much we earn, but the media does not count the continuous investment of our company. Maybe we earn 10 million today, invest 5 million tomorrow, and invest 200 the day after tomorrow... For the company to operate, we must continue to invest. In fact, the dividend money I can get at the end of the year is not 30 million US dollars."

Emma smiled and continued to ask: "Even if you don't get 30 million US dollars, you will get 100 million at least. 100 million US dollars, right?"

Female models are of course extremely realistic, so Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Well, about right? If we don't count the continued investment in the first half of this year, and only count the profits, plus Huaxia Company... 100 million US dollars in the first half of the year. The popular Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun" was invested and filmed by our company."

Hearing Zhang Pingan say "100 million US dollars" Araki Yuko, Emma's eyes widened and said, "Sri Lanka~~! !"

After being surprised, Emma immediately asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Do you want to introduce me?"

Emma pointed to Araki Yuko beside her and said, "She, Our Yuko is pretty, right? "

Zhang Pingan smiled and said to Arata Yuko deliberately: "I don't deny that Yuko is very beautiful. By the way, Yuko, how about you consider it, let's be together?"

Arata Yuko smiled sweetly and replied: "Okay, if you don't mind."

"OK, then it's settled. After dinner, let's try a couple hotel nearby?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Emma, ​​who was sitting next to them, smiled bitterly and said: "Wow...you are too fast, you are trying it now? You are not serious, are you?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Pingan asked back with a smile, without giving a positive reply. Perhaps...such an ambiguous answer made Emma even more unpredictable.
