My Entertainment Circle

While drinking the delicious noodle soup, she recalled the way Zhang Pingan rolled up his sleeves and held the kitchen knife, cutting and matching dishes fluently. For Sayuri, the way he cooked by himself was simply charming. Because she had never thought that a super rich second-generation like Zhang Pingan could cook such a great dish? On weekdays, when they met Zhang Pingan, they would choose delicious restaurants outside. Although they had seen him grill meat, they didn't expect that he had such a hidden cooking skill?

On the other hand, Mai Shiraishi was much calmer when she saw Zhang Pingan cooking. When he cooked, Mai looked at him with a sweet smile on her quiet lips. She was not surprised at all that he could cook. This also showed that Zhang Pingan had cooked for Mai on weekdays, so she was not surprised.

Looking at Mai Shiraishi's smile, Sayuri knew that she envied more than a little.

Matsutake itself has a special mushroom aroma. The soup cooked with it is refreshing and delicious. Matsutake, beef brisket and noodles go into the mouth, which is an indescribable satisfaction. Of course, it is also because the ingredients are good, so the dishes are naturally delicious.

Zhang Pingan and Shiraishi Mai did not have supper. The two of them sat at the table with Sayuri holding water cups and chatting. Zhang Pingan said: "I'm curious, what did I talk about with Konno today?"

Sayuri bit her noodles and nodded continuously: "Of course, you two said so much in front of us, all of us must be curious, after all, the matter is about us."

Zhang Pingan took a sip of the water cup, then looked at the two of them and said: "Well, to be precise, it is about your future. For now, it is definitely right for you to go on step by step. After all, you are now a little bit better in the entertainment industry. Steady progress and let more people know the name of your team is the main thing in the near future. And the future... In fact, it doesn't have much impact on you."

Future? In fact, Mai Shiraishi is not worried about her future, because she knows that no matter what the future is like, it doesn't matter to her. Even if she loses her job in the entertainment industry, it will not affect her life, because she has him by her side.

Besides, her career is now in a stable rising period. As long as she doesn't make a fatal mistake, there will be no impact. Her future can be said to be very comfortable.

But the "future" is still very important to Sayuri. She stared at Zhang Pingan curiously with her eyes wide open, saying "Oh, oh, oh": "Why? Why do you say that the future has no impact on us?"

"Because you are the first generation, when the public knows Nogizaka, you first generation students already have a fixed fan base, so the future will not have much impact on you. You just need to follow the steps and find a direction that suits your development along the way, whether it is acting, fashion, or variety show hosting. You can't completely fix yourself on one group."

Sayuri then understood that the "future" Zhang Pingan was referring to the Nogizaka group, or more accurately, the third and fourth generation students. A few years later, the first-generation students have already settled down, so the future he talked about has no big impact on them.

Zhang Pingan continued: "Today I mainly talked to Konno about letting your variety show be broadcast on my Chinese live broadcast platform, which is considered to accumulate some Chinese fans for you. But you Konno seemed to be obsessed with money, and actually charged me 1 billion yen for the broadcast fee!"

When she heard the amount Zhang Pingan complained about, Shiraishi Mai's eyes widened: "1 billion? This... is impossible?" This price is simply a fantasy. 1 billion? No matter how expensive the copyright is, it is impossible to sell it so high, and their program is not a world-class production.

Zhang Pingan smiled and nodded softly and said: "Well, 1 billion! It's just all the group variety shows of your group in five years."

It is more reasonable to broadcast all the group variety shows exclusively for five years. At first, they didn't even listen to Zhang Pingan's words, but they dropped their jaws when they heard the sky-high price of "1 billion".

Sayuri nodded and said, "So that's how it is. A five-year group variety show. An-chan, what do you think?"

"What do I think? What does your Konno think now? Because I also gave him a question... 10 billion. He said it easily, but if he wants to get 10 billion, I have to make some money, right? Cooperation is to achieve a win-win situation, not for your company to eat its fill and ignore me. A 20-minute show, even if it lasts for five years, how can I make money? Your company gained Chinese fans from the show and earned 10 billion in exclusive broadcast fees. What about me?"

Zhang Ping'an's question really stumped the two of them. Yes, no matter how it looks like what has been said so far, their company has made money, but what about Zhang Ping'an? He took out 10 billion yen in real money. Since he took out so much money, he must consider how to make a profit, right? As he said, the good things cannot be all taken by their company.

So Sayuri asked curiously: "What's the result? What kind of question did you ask our company?"

"Nothing, just let you participate in the live broadcast. Your company is still considering it, but my personal guess is that your company may not be able to resist the temptation of 1 billion yen."

Live broadcast? When this word came out, Sayuri and Shiraishi Mai were stunned. Because they had never known about live broadcasting. What is popular in Japan now is not live broadcasting, but YouTube bloggers. These are all videos that have been discussed in the early stage and filmed and edited in the later stage. This is similar to the variety show they are shooting at this time.

But live broadcasting on the Internet... It is face-to-face without any editing. Maybe an expression is not in place, or the face changes suddenly when seeing a word. These are all opportunities without "NG".

Looking at their stunned expressions, Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "It's too early to say these now, Sayuri, eat quickly, and I'll take you home after you eat."

"Got it."

......

Zhang Pingan left the choice to Konno in Nogizaka. Ten billion yen is not so easy to get. The next day, when Zhang Pingan went out for exercise, Shiraishi Mai also went out with him to run the itinerary. She brought the scarf and gloves given by Zhang Pingan today, and kissed him deeply on the mouth before leaving. After exercise, Zhang Pingan went to the airport and flew to Seoul.

The warm sun in Tokyo rises and shines on the hotel suite of Ritz-Carlton. The sunlight coming in from the gap of the curtains just woke up the sleeping Yuko Shinki. She was awakened by the sunlight and quickly reached out to touch the car key under the pillow. Only after taking out the car key could she be sure that everything that happened yesterday was not a dream. Her life has also gone in a different direction since yesterday's decision. After waking up, she was not thinking about whether there was a job coming in? Instead, she was going to sign a house contract after having breakfast at the hotel!

At Incheon Airport, Zhang Pingan set off for the underground parking lot after passing the customs. He did not let Xika drive to the exit like an artist, but quietly got in the car from the underground garage and left the airport. Although he wanted to leave in a low-key manner, Xika's appearance in the underground parking lot of the airport was still filmed by people in the underground garage.

Xika drove a Rolls-Royce and drove Zhang Pingan towards the city. She rarely rested, so she did not choose to go to the clothing company. Because love requires more time to get along, instead of just being busy with your own things and asking the other party to understand.

Xika casually asked Zhang Pingan: "What delicious food did you eat after the concert last night? Oh... I should have stayed there for one more day, so we could go around Tokyo today."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "You should have told me earlier. The weather in Tokyo is pretty good today. It was sunny when I left, but it was gloomy in Seoul."

Xika shook her head bitterly and said: "I only remembered it after I got on the plane. I really should have stayed there for one more day."

Zhang Pingan reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "You guys are not too busy next, right? That is, participating in the award ceremony and the year-end "Song Contest"? "

Xika said distressedly: "How can it be easy? The stage of the Song Contest needs special rehearsal. Because those stages are all re-arranged songs, and the dances are all newly designed. Do you think you can go on stage without practice? What about you? Next..."

"Me? I will mainly focus on the "Chinese Cuisine" program on SBS. I have to discuss and communicate with the chefs on site. Because from the stage design to the placement of kitchen utensils, all these have to be approved by the chefs. I am an outsider, I can't just focus on the beautiful construction of the venue, regardless of whether the chefs are actually convenient to use, right?"

Xi Ka also knows that professional kitchen equipment is not the design of a home kitchen: "Have you been with the chefs recently? I envy you so much. You can eat the chefs' dishes every day, a total of 12 Chinese cuisine chefs."

"I spent a lot of effort to invite these 12 chefs, such as Chef Lu Jinglai, who is a master chef. He is the representative director of Chinese cuisine in Korea. I even used official relationships to contact them."

For this Chinese cuisine program. Zhang Pingan really put a lot of thought into it, especially in terms of communication with the chefs, he went to run one by one in person, which showed his sincerity. It is also his respect for the Chinese cuisine culture of his motherland as a Chinese!

Zhang Pingan's sincerity and the help from the government have given rise to the show "Chinese Cuisine Showdown"! !
