My Entertainment Circle

Qingshan, an "American and French fusion" restaurant called "Sky City". The difference between American and French cuisine is that American cuisine is about filling, while French cuisine is about presentation. The reason why this store is called "Sky City" is because it is located on the top floor of a twelve-story building. In fact, the simplest name is "roof garden restaurant" because no one in the surrounding single-family residential buildings would. It is built on the twelfth floor, so the view from its location is very good.

After Zhang Pingan and Araki Yuko entered the restaurant, the sun quietly peeked out from the clouds, and the golden sunlight scattered in the roof garden made people feel more comfortable. In particular, the restaurant has built a swimming pool on the top floor, which is sparkling in the sun. It seems that during the summer they may often launch some night parties or something.

Looking at the sunshine, Araki Yuko gently raised her hand to block the sunlight, and her smile was even more refreshing under the sunlight. She was already very beautiful, but she became even more charming under the autumn sunshine. Such a beautiful scene and such a beautiful person made Zhang Pingan's heart flutter for a moment. After all, people will have primitive instincts towards beautiful things or the opposite sex in an instant.

Although the sun was shining brightly outside, Zhang Pingan did not choose to sit on the large terrace because the wind in autumn was still quite strong and the temperature was relatively low.

The waiter guided the two of them to a seat by the window, so that they could enjoy the beautiful scenery while eating delicious food. After the two sat down, they picked up the menu on the table. Zhang Pingan said: "You choose what suits your taste." The two took the menu and started ordering...

After the two chose their meals, the waiter asked: "Sir, what kind of wine are you using?"

Zhang Pingan raised his hand and pointed at Yuko Araki politely with his fingers together: "I don't need it, I drove here, just give me water. Can I ask the lady what you need?"

The waiter turned to look at Yuko Araki. She shook her head and said, "I don't need it either."

When Zhang Pingan came in, he saw the bar, so he politely said to the waiter: "Make some non-alcoholic cocktails for this lady, thank you."

After the waiter nodded and left, Araki Yuko looked seriously at Zhang Ping'an, who was dressed casually today. Yesterday, he was dressed in a formal suit, a bit like a young CEO, but after taking off his suit today, his casual clothes combined with his favorite round shape shaped glasses, which made him look more youthful.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhang Pingan and Araki Yuko chatted: "By the way, you said earlier that you were an actor. How many years have you been in the industry?"

Araki Yuko said: "The first work was in 2008, and then there were some roles every year. However, so far, I have not played an important supporting role in some well-known dramas."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "It's been six years since I debuted.

It’s been almost seven years. If you don't mind, can I ask what year you are from? "

"Ninety-three years."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Oh, 21 years old?"

Araki Yuko waved to Zhang Pingan with her bright smile and said, "No, no, I am 20 years old, and my birthday is in December."

Zhang Pingan wanted to ask, is there a difference? Maybe it’s like that in Japan, the calculation of the next age doesn’t begin until after the birthday? In other words, women are very concerned about their age, and they have to figure it out even if it takes a day or a month?

"Okay." Zhang Pingan responded helplessly. Then he said: "Isn't it normal for me to star in a TV series at the age of 14 and still not get the main supporting role today? Not every actor has the luck of Nagasawa Masami or Aragaki Yui. And your appearance is very beautiful. , a silly and sweet person who is not suitable for a morning drama heroine.”

Because the legendary duo got leading roles in some TV series and movies when they were in middle school and high school, their careers have been smooth sailing so far.

There is no such adjective as "Si Tian Bai" in Japan, so when Zhang Pingan said it, Yuko looked at him in confusion and asked, "What is Silly Tian Bai?"

"She is a weak woman who looks cute and cute every day, smiles sweetly, is harmless to humans and animals, and has no scheming. She needs the protection of the male lead at all times. This is a word used on the Internet in China to specifically describe A heroine with no personality, this is also very suitable for Japan's bloody morning drama heroine, isn't it? "

Zhang Pingan's sudden burst of humor made Yuko Araki feel the charm of another side of him, especially his description of the number one heroine of the morning drama, which was so apt that she, an actress, couldn't help laughing. : "Hahaha~~"

Looking at her brilliant smile, Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, smile more. Your smile is so beautiful, why should I be stingy with your smile? As far as I know, many female artists, Whether you are Korean or Japanese, you have to practice smiling in front of the mirror every day. Only by practicing in front of the mirror can you show your most beautiful smile in various situations. "

Yuko tilted her head and looked at Zhang Pingan cutely and said, "Hehe, do you still need to practice your smile?" After saying that, she spread her smile.

At this time, the waiter came over with water and drinks. After he put them down and Zhang Pingan and the other person thanked him, he continued, "Of course you have to practice. A good friend of mine told me that when an artist faces the camera, they are only allowed to have one expression, which is smiling. Even if your mood has clearly fallen to the bottom, even if you are experiencing menstrual pain, you have to smile when facing the camera. Because your job is to guide the public to be positive, no matter how tired, irritated, or painful you are, you must never show it in front of the camera. This is the quality of the profession. So they practiced smiling in a mechanical way until it was very natural."

After saying that After this, Zhang Pingan took two sips of water from the cup and continued: "There is another singer and host whom I like very much. She used to show a bright smile in front of the camera, but in the past two years she has fallen into a depressed state, so she put down all the hosting work in her hands. In order not to bring her negative emotions to the audience, let alone let fans worry about her." Zhang Pingan's words did not make Xinmu Yuko feel anything. She just said lightly: "Hearing you say that, I feel that the industry of artists is really tiring." Because she was not famous at this time, she could even walk on the street and stroll around freely. So she had never felt the "tiredness" mentioned by Zhang Pingan, but she could not understand what that kind of "tiredness" was just by "listening". Only when she had a personal experience would she understand it thoroughly. Zhang Pingan looked at her expression, shook his head slightly and said, "Being an artist is a very tiring job. Although you make more money, you also spend more money. Before you became famous, you could still wear a piece of Uniqlo when choosing clothes, but after you became famous, when everyone's eyes follow you, can you still wear Uniqlo? And you are also a model, I won't say much about the dress, the most important thing is that after becoming famous, there is an extra layer of external constraints. How to balance the you who want to create a good image in front of the camera and the real you in private, this is the distress that every star needs to face." Youzi also understood that what Zhang Pingan said was what all artists have to face, but after all, the things that need to measure themselves are too far away from her. Although she came from the time of a young actor, she still hasn't made any progress after six years. So she smiled bitterly and said, "It may take me a long time to experience the troubles you mentioned. Now I have very few job opportunities, even though the agency has been working hard to recommend me. But the competition in the actor and model circles is very high. Not every audition can have the result I want." Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Take your time. You are so beautiful. You will definitely have a good development in the future." Future, future, future, she has actually heard this word countless times, in the company, in the mouth of the agent, and now in Zhang Pingan. This made her say even more bitterly, "Future? You are all talking about the future, but how long will I have to wait for that "future"? I have been working hard for six years! In the blink of an eye, it's been seven years!" Seeing her burst out so directly, Zhang Pingan laughed instead. Because this is a completely different vision from the gentleness of Japanese women in his impression. Women with bad tempers can be seen in China and South Korea, but it is the first time Zhang Pingan has seen it in Japan. Although one or two women with poisonous tongues occasionally appear in Japanese variety shows, such an image is not so pleasing to the audience. Because in the eyes of all Japanese men, women should be gentle. Occasionally, a small complaint may make the audience laugh, but if the complaining image is used on female artists, people will gradually find it annoying.

Looking at Zhang Ping'an's smile, Xinmu Yuko also knew that she had lost her composure. She quickly said to Zhang Ping'an: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

But Zhang Ping'an just smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, what agency are you from?"

""

Stardust Communication, Japan's top artist agency. Zhang Ping'an raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, this is a large agency. Your agency is tolerant of artists, but this company is not good at using the media, let alone dealing with the media. Compared with the first-line brokerage companies in South Korea, your company is more than a little worse in publicity."

"Our company rarely deals with the media because the representatives feel that any publicity is not as good as being down-to-earth."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Being down-to-earth is a good thing, but how long should artists be allowed to be down-to-earth? After all, artists cannot reach the top and their career years are very short."
