My Entertainment Circle

Tokyo under the neon lights reveals its magical nature. There are passers-by rushing home on the streets, people going out for fun, and some women who can't afford to eat stand on the roadside waiting to be approached and invited to dinner. (PS: Don't think this is made up by "Reincarnation", because there is a "YouTuber" who specifically exposed and filmed a girl standing on the street waiting to be approached at dinner time. They stood in the izakaya street not far from Ginza. Their purpose was to wait for someone to approach them and then go to dinner, and some of the women they met by chance were really good-looking.)

There are really many people approaching people on the streets of Japan. According to statistics, 20% of Japanese men have had the experience of being approached, which is equivalent to one in five people! And those who approach people like to use "Let's have a few drinks together, I'll treat you." Or "I feel a little bored eating alone, can I invite you to eat delicious food together?" Anyway, Japanese approaching people always use "eating" as the opening line.

Because there are many people approaching people, there are many girls who can't afford to eat waiting to be approached. Don’t think it’s ridiculous that I can’t afford to eat here, it’s the truth!

Because it’s really hard for women in Japan to find a job. Even if they find a part-time job in an izakaya, women’s hourly wages are lower than men’s. And renting a house in Tokyo is really expensive. There are many people who can’t afford to eat after paying the rent after doing odd jobs. There is a special documentary about this!

When they can’t afford to eat, and when the izakaya where they work part-time is not very busy, the boss doesn’t need odd jobs, they either wait to be approached, or... stand and wait in the back streets of Akihabara (those who understand, naturally understand!)

Ordinary people, especially those high school students who go to Tokyo, their lives are more helpless, especially those who go to Tokyo with dreams... survival becomes a very serious problem. Eating is expensive, transportation is expensive, and Japanese people basically don’t ask their families for help after they become adults. Of course, those families living in rural cities are powerless even if they want to help. So many women face the most realistic and basic thing after going to Tokyo, which is survival!

When you can't survive, you can only choose some "special" professions helplessly! Some things are not what they want to do, but they have to do it to survive..

Especially in Tokyo, what idol, before you are famous, it is very good to have a place to stay. You should know that many so-called underground idols, who are glamorous on the stage, may have six or seven people squeezed in a ten-square-meter basement after the tour.

It can be seen that those who go to Tokyo for their dreams, even if they are girls with good looks, have a very difficult time surviving.

Not only idols have difficulty surviving, but models are also the same. In fact, to be precise, models are more competitive, because now slightly famous girl group members have become models! This makes the road narrower for those girls who dream of becoming the next "Masuwaka Tsubasa". Because of the impact of idols, it is even more difficult for those "professional models" to get by. And Japanese fashion magazines also like to use actors as models..

It means that "modeling" is a sideline in the entertainment industry, which makes it really difficult for those professional models! And there are some large agencies, just like Yuko Araki... before becoming an actor, she also worked as a model part-time. So this road is really difficult before becoming famous!

.......

At night, Zhang Pingan and his two friends were eating 30,000 yen per person in a high-end sushi restaurant in Ginza, while at this time, in a very inconspicuous ramen restaurant, ‘Baba Fumika’ ordered her own dinner ramen. Before waiting for the boss to serve her noodles, she sat down and picked up her phone and started swiping. The Twitter icon already showed the amount of information of ‘28’.

While waiting for the noodles to come out of the pot, she opened her Twitter and opened the private message...For ‘Baba Fumika’,

she was not well-known at this time, so she would click on every private message that came in. Of course, the private message might be some dirty news, or it might be a message of encouragement from fans who like her.

However, for her who is not well-known, every encouraging message at this time is very precious. A word of encouragement from fans may be the power to support her to keep going. That’s why Zhang Pingan sent her a private message in the morning, and she replied with a ‘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 out for dinner, or to play, or even asked her if she was interested in making a ‘movie’. She chose to ignore and close them all. Now she saw the letter from the ‘fan’ this morning. Uh, that fan was Zhang Pingan… She thought Zhang Pingan was a fan!

This time Zhang Pingan’s message said ‘He had a car accident because of her, and the car was seriously damaged.’ Then there were photos of the damaged car. It can be clearly seen in the photos that the front of the car was seriously damaged, and even the car logo could not be seen, but the appearance of the sports car was 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 Pingan on the other side is rich. Since he was rich, it would be nice to have a chat, so Fumika Baba replied to Zhang Pingan, "Ah...I'm sorry, are you okay?"

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

Zhang Pingan thought that sake went well with sushi. Yuko Araki took the sake cup and refilled the wine for everyone. Zhang Pingan drank the fruity 14th generation in one sip. While still drunk, Zhang Ping'an asked: "Aren't we always talking about the economic downturn? I'm just curious. As a model, how much is your salary for a photo shoot?"

Because it is rude to ask about your salary in Japan. No one will directly ask you how much you make per month. Even among friends, if you ask, the other party may not answer you.

However, Araki Yuko 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 bonus when we signed the contract. But it is also because of the exclusive models , Our salary for one shooting is very low, I only have tens of thousands of yen now!”

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

As for the exclusive model, it means that among similar fashion magazines, you can only be photographed by this magazine, unless you choose to graduate. Well, photos don’t count.

After listening to Yuko Araki clearly stated 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 would definitely get it. Said: "I currently earn about 100,000 yen per shooting session."

Since most fashion magazines are published in ‘weeklies’, Zhang Ping’an tilted his head and said: “How come your exclusive model is photographed once a week, right?”

Araki Yuko shook her head and said: "That's not necessarily the case, because there are still many exclusive models in magazines. Sometimes well-known models will occupy several pages at a time. And the number of pages in weekly magazines is limited, so it's not Filmed every week.”

"The modeling profession is not easy to get into." Zhang Ping'an had to sigh as he listened to Araki Yuko's story.

Emma smiled and said: "There is no such circle now. By the way, Forbes said that you have an income of at least 30 million US dollars every year. Is this true?"

Zhang Ping'an laughed: "Well... I have explained to the media many times about the income issue. The media only calculates how much we earn, but the media does not calculate our company's continuous investment at all. Maybe today's earnings 10 million, invest 5 million tomorrow, and invest 200 the day after tomorrow. If the company wants to continue 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.”

Emma smiled and continued to ask: "Even if you didn't get 30 million US dollars, how could you get 10 million US dollars, right?"

Female models are of course the most realistic type, so Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Well, about the same? If we don't count continued investment in the first half of this year, we only count profits. In addition, Huaxia Company... One hundred million US dollars was spent in half a year. The popular Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun" was invested and filmed by our company."

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words about "100 million U.S. dollars" Yuko Araki, Emma's eyes widened and she said: "Si Guoyi~~!!"

Emma was surprised and immediately asked: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Do you want to introduce it to me?"

Emma tentatively pointed at Yuko Araki next to her and said, "She, our Yuko is pretty, isn't she?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said deliberately to Araki Yuko: "I don't deny it, Yuko is very beautiful. By the way, Yuko, why don't you think about it and let's spend time together?"

Araki Yuko responded with a sweet smile: "Okay, if you don't dislike it."

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

Listening to the conversation between the two, Emma who was sitting aside smiled bitterly and said: "Wow, you are too fast, are you starting to try now? You can't be serious, can you?"

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