My Entertainment Circle

Yuko Araki, when the editor-in-chief of the magazine introduced her to Zhang Pingan, she was being photographed for the magazine. Magazine shooting is not a photo shoot. There is no need for framing or anything else. The shooting can be completed simply by setting up the shooting location in the agency. The editor-in-chief's introduction only introduced each other's names, allowing the two to say hello to each other. Because she was still filming, and Zhang Pingan also had to pay the bills, the two had no chance to communicate further, so they just exchanged names!

Zhang Ping'an didn't stop at the magazine after paying 20 million yen in publicity fees, because he didn't even have lunch after the plane landed in Tokyo. It was already past four in the afternoon, and he was so hungry that he was screaming. . So after paying the publicity fee, he left quickly and went to find a snack bar or cafe nearby to buy something to eat to fill his stomach.

About half an hour after Zhang Pingan left, Araki Yuko ended today's shooting. After she left the studio, she went to the editor-in-chief's office. After knocking on the door, she opened the office door and said, "Hello, editor-in-chief," after receiving the "Please come in" response.

When the editor saw Araki Yuko coming in, he temporarily stopped what he was doing, smiled gently at her and said, "Oh, Araki-san, the filming is over?"

Araki Yuko responded to the editor-in-chief with a cheerful smile: "Well, the shooting is over, I will come over to say hello to you, and I am ready to leave."

The editor-in-chief listened to Araki Yuko's words and laughed: "Haha... let's sit and chat for a while." It was obvious that coming in to say hello was just an excuse, because usually she would not come to the editor-in-chief's room specifically to greet him after finishing shooting. Speaking of saying goodbye, she came so suddenly today. The editor-in-chief also knew that she must be confused because of what she had introduced with Zhang Ping'an.

After Araki Yuko sat down, the editor-in-chief said with a smile: "You must be curious why I brought Zhang Ping'an here to introduce you, right?"

"Yeah." Araki Yuko nodded hurriedly. She came to the editor's office just because she was confused.

The editor-in-chief said: "We were discussing some cooperation earlier. After the negotiation, he asked me for your name, so I brought him over to introduce you. What do you think of him?"

"I don't know either, we just nodded and said hello."

"What about first impressions?"

The first impression was more about appearance. Yuko Araki said: "Well... I think it's 8.5 points, right?"

"In terms of appearance alone, the score is 8.5, which is very high. Didn't a reporter take photos of Zhang Pingan and the members of Nogizaka46 some time ago?"

Araki Yuko said: "Yes, I have read that report,

Because it was also the first time that the magazine photographed idols kissing in the street. "

"Actually, the weekly made a mistake. The real protagonist is not Sayuri Matsumura! But... Mai Shiraishi!!"

"Shiraishi?" Because there has been too much publicity about Shiraishi Mai recently, so much so that Araki Yuko also knew of her existence.

"Haha, that's right, it's Mai Shiraishi. Do you think this photo of Mai Shiraishi was produced by the publishing house? Let me tell you, no, the publishing house is only responsible for printing and distribution. The actual investor is Zhang Pingan! Come over here We are also talking about publicity. Do you know how much he spent on the photo album he invested in for Mai Shiraishi? The total cost of publicity, printing and distribution by the publishing house, etc., is close to 100%. 100 million yen!”

Araki Yuko's eyes widened and she said, "Um... spend so much money? Why?"

The editor-in-chief said: "Haha...why? Only the two of them know it. Anyway, before the publicity appeared, I had never heard of 'Shiraishi Mai'. Now, it's hard not to know. Everything in Tokyo is Her name, Mai Shiraishi, suddenly became known to everyone. However, I have to say that the photos taken by Zhang Pingan are very interesting, and the photos on the promotional posters alone are attractive enough. "

The editor-in-chief continued: "Although Zhang Pingan is young, he is a very powerful entertainment industry CEO and producer. In addition to producing the well-known Mai Shiraishi, he also co-produced a TV series with the largest TV station in South Korea. It’s a weekend variety show, and the variety show he produces maintains the number one rating in the weekend prime time slot! And he runs the largest live broadcast platform in China. How about a very powerful person? I wanted to get to know you to see if you had a chance to cooperate with him. However, he just asked for your name and then left. If there is cooperation, he will contact your firm, right?"

...

After Araki Yuko came out of the magazine, she felt that she had not been clarified because the editor-in-chief only talked about Zhang Pingan's career. As for why he wants to know himself? Even the editor-in-chief doesn’t know.

What is the reason for wanting to get to know each other? Maybe I'm just asking out of curiosity? It's like walking on the street and finding a beautiful girl, and I'm curious what her name is? So just a casual question?

Although she didn't know why Zhang Pingan asked her name, she at least knew that Zhang Pingan was a very powerful person.

After Zhang Pingan came out of the magazine, he did not rush to pick up the car. Instead, he sat with two people from the advertising agency in a nearby coffee shop and drank coffee. Of course, Zhang Pingan ordered a lot of coffee while drinking it. Desserts.

While eating dessert, he listened to someone from the advertising company say: "Mr. Zhang, has your company been registered?"

Zhang Pingan said: "It has not been registered yet. I am currently investing as an individual. Why should I register a company?"

The person from the advertising company said: "Ah... you haven't registered a company? Do you know that the personal income tax here in Japan is very high? As a legal representative, if you pay taxes in the name of the company, the income tax is twice as low as the personal tax."

"How much is the personal tax?"

Someone from the advertising company said: "The individual tax rate is 45%, and the corporate tax rate is 23%!"

This difference is a bit big. Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "That's it. It seems that I have to register the company tomorrow. Otherwise, if you transfer the money to me after the issuance, I will pay too much tax."

Just as Zhang Pingan was chatting with people from the advertising company about the publicity behind it, Araki Yuko entered the coffee shop. She originally wanted to come in and buy a cup of coffee and leave, but after entering, she found Zhang Pingan sitting with her friends. Here it is.

When Zhang Pingan saw Yuko Shinki, he smiled and nodded at her: "Xinmu-san, I didn't expect to meet again. If you have time, let's have a cup of coffee together?"

Out of curiosity about Zhang Pingan, and also because she was not a celebrity at this time, she didn't have any baggage to worry about. So she nodded and agreed: "Yes."

After she sat down, Zhang Pingan asked her what she wanted to drink, then got up and bought her coffee in person, along with some desserts.

When the two people from the advertising company saw a beautiful model sitting down, they said goodbye in a sensible manner. Zhang Pingan did not retain them, but only asked them to leave after the interview tomorrow.

Only Zhang Pingan and Araki Yuko were left on the seats in the coffee shop. She began to look at Zhang Pingan seriously this time. Compared with when she saw him in the company just now, he now wore a round and handsome face. What about blue glasses? The round frames gave him an air of a sunny boy, even though he was wearing a suit and shirt. But Araki Yuko wanted to say 'kawaii'.

Zhang Ping'an looked at Yuko Araki seriously for two seconds, and her eyes happened to be in contact with him, which made her smile a little embarrassedly, and her smile was very bright.

If Yui Aragaki's smile is healing, then her smile is refreshing, very 'next door' feeling, and her natural smile makes people feel relaxed.

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "I have seen two women with beautiful smiles, one is Yui Aragaki, and the other is Masami Nagasawa. And you are the third one I have seen, you are very beautiful!"

The word Zhang Ping'an used was "beautiful" instead of "kawaii" which is commonly used by Japanese. This novel wording surprised Araki Yuko, but she was in a very good mood! Maybe she heard too much "kawaii", so Zhang Pingan's wording made her feel a little teased.

Araki Yuko said shyly: "Thank you."

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Praise is something that can make people happy at no cost."

Zhang Ping'an suddenly came up with such a unique insight, which made Yuko Araki let out a stunned "Oh".

Zhang Ping'an looked at her dumbfounded look and smiled gently: "Because as time goes by and we get older, after we see more things, we will find that the cost of happiness will be higher and higher."

"Uh..." Although Zhang Pingan's words made sense, Araki Yuko didn't know how to respond. She could only say 'uh'.

Seeing her stunned expression, Zhang Ping'an laughed: "Haha, she looks beautiful when she smiles, and she looks beautiful even when she doesn't smile. Such a 'jewel' will definitely have a bright future in her future career."

"Thank you, Ping'an-san, your kind words."

"Well, when you really become a big star in the future, then you can treat me to dinner, right?"

Araki Yuko responded: "Okay. If I really become the big star you said, I will definitely treat you to dinner."

"Yes, I exchanged a word for a meal in the future. Haha, I will remember it in my heart."

"whee."

Zhang Ping'an took the last sip of coffee and put down the coffee cup in his hand: "Where do you live, do you want me to take you there?"

Araki Yuko said: "Hey, don't bother, I'll just take the train back later."

"Okay. Goodbye then, I made a note that you owe me a meal." After saying that, Zhang Pingan waved to her and left the cafe.

Watching Zhang Pingan leave, she tilted her head and stared at the coffee and desserts in front of her. Although the chat was so short, Araki Yuko felt that Zhang Pingan was a very special person. He had something different from Japanese men. Attractive, a bit charming!
