Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 352

One of the big moves is launching its own beauty pageant: Toho Cinderella.

"...In this way, five years ago, I participated in that competition, and finally won the championship, known as the first generation of Princess Toho." Yasuko Sawaguchi laughed at himself, "I thought it was the beginning of a new life, but I entered This industry has only realized what the real world looks like."

Tao Zhiming listened to her quietly.

"I remember that before participating in the competition, I knew there was a bikini competition. Although I didn't have much confidence in my figure, I thought it was just one of them after all. But during the competition, a younger sister was asked: 'Have you ever dated? How many boyfriends are there?" The judges asked again: "What is your height?" The younger sister replied: "160." Some judges looked at her with a smile on the spot, and said something, "I don't know which question it is the answer to .' After stepping down, she cried for a long time and finally withdrew from the competition."

Yasuko Sawaguchi said with a smile: "In a competition with more than 2000 participants, I finally won the first place. Isn't it amazing?"

Tao Zhiming sighed: "Of course it's amazing."

He also knew that since then, Dongbao has held several Cinderella selections, and there is only one Masami Nagasawa who can catch up with her popularity.The last stunning beauty of the Showa era was not blown out.

"But some seniors told me that those selected in beauty pageants like me belong to idols. Idols are idols, singers are singers, comedians are comedians, and entertainers are entertainers. Everyone has an essential job. Idols My job is to provide everyone with a favorite image. In this circle, sometimes idols are not as good as some outstanding entertainers. Probably because I am the champion, so I got the job of comedian from the beginning.”

In Neon, the so-called comedians generally refer to actors in film and television dramas.

Yasuko Sawaguchi held his hand lightly: "But I know what the experience of other award winners in the same period was like. The year before last, Dongbao Cinderella selected the second round, and the second generation of Memi Sauce, she was only 15 years old at that time, she, she..."

Tao Zhiming felt that she was holding her hand a little hard, and was speechless for a while.

Later people are always amazed at the horror of Zhou Kingdom's entertainment circle, but they don't know that Zhou Kingdom has developed on the basis of neon experience.It's just that there are more unscrupulous chaebols on one side and a multi-balanced consortium on the other.

The neon market is larger and the consumption power is stronger, so the income of this industry can be relatively stable.For the big names of Neon, "fame" is also very important in such a cultural environment, so they will always create more secretive and more stylish occasions and atmospheres.

But after all, it is a circle of "rich beauties", how can most of them escape the rules?

Yasuko Sawaguchi calmed down and said: "I signed the contract, and I also have a starting point as a comedian. Therefore, I will work hard to improve my acting skills and become a real actor! Don't ask me why I don't leave this circle, since I am already a This career, I must go on! I have been noticed by so many people, and fame is also my umbrella, isn't it?"

Tao Zhiming somewhat admired her sober understanding.

"However, besides being an actor, my other identity is a contracted member of the club." Yasuko Sawaguchi took a deep breath, "Sometimes, I can't decide my own itinerary. For example, the first time you meet My time."

"...Is that so?"

"But after that time, because of shooting Bravo Sport's commercials, and because I participated in the first Tokyo Fashion Festival, I met people from Wander Star and Akina. Especially when I played a guest role in "Golden Age" , met Rie-chan."

Tao Zhiming looked at her in amazement: "Are you and Rie also friends?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes were complicated: "Yeah, didn't you teach her to know more friends? That child, you said at the time that you reprimanded her and told her not to participate in the selection of Dongbao Cinderella. That's when I knew , It turns out that everyone who signed up in Wander Star has such a loose contract, and there is a president like you. She complained to me that studying is so difficult, and that you still don't let her mother see her more..."

"...This kid, doesn't he know how to hide secrets?" Tao Zhiming had a headache.

Yasuko Sawaguchi looked at him and said softly: "I know from her mouth that Sister Quanshui secretly likes you, Sister Akina was scolded by you, and Sister Asuka always wonders why you don't like such a cute girl like her."

She paused, and then asked, "Do you know the Takarazuka Opera Troupe?"

"Of course...Kagawa-kun's mother is from the Takarazuka Opera Troupe."

"He? He is indeed an actor who works very hard and has great potential..." Yasuko Sawaguchi recalled, "I heard that because you are his senior at Tokyo University, you have supported him all the way and embarked on this journey. But what I want to say is that Toho is also a shareholder of Takarazuka. And Takarazuka...is just another form of idol group."

Tao Zhiming knew what she was talking about.

Takarazuka Belle, because she was trained by a special music school, has deliberately taken a higher-end route in terms of appearance, temperament, etiquette, and style, and is recognized by the public as a high-quality marriage partner.But there are very few Takarazuka beauties who can really enter the upper class as wives.Most people, in fact, finally embarked on the fate of being raised as "caged birds".

"That's why I became curious about you." The look in Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes softened, "A cute child like Rie-chan, a beautiful and talented singer like Quanshui, and a famous singer like Ms. You can get their opportunities, and few people can refuse you. But you don’t have any, not only yourself, but also never ask them to do things that have nothing to do with work. Except for creation and performance, it’s just learning. Wander Star's relaxed atmosphere, what is it for you?"

"...I'm making money, okay?" Tao Zhiming was quite speechless, "Is this how the outside world sees me?"

"So I think...although you have several women, you are a kind and gentle person after all, right?" Yasuko Sawaguchi murmured, "I don't know if I continue to refuse some requests from the club, will I be able to do it again?" There would be no chance. In fact, if Dimension Culture hadn’t offered a very high salary last year, my main job would probably have been to accompany President Di on some trips. In fact, you have already saved me once. "

Tao Zhiming shook his head: "Don't think like that. I just fancy your fame, for the ratings."

In another timeline without herself, isn't she just getting more and more popular?

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat. Since then, she has never had any news of being in love, and she has never been married. I don't know if there is some kind of secret that is not well known.

With Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's strength of 1650 billion yuan as the world's richest man at that time, did she really gain nothing from her?

Maybe it's because I have seen through these things thoroughly that I can only focus on improving my acting skills and taking the initiative in life.

Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled: "In short, now I want to go further on the road of being an actor, and also want to avoid such worries and troubles. After much deliberation, Wander Star seems to be my best choice. Dimension Culture, Pantao Films, Columbia Pictures, Mogami Cinemas, TV Tokyo... With your ability, sooner or later you will become a platform like Toho or even better? If this is a deal, I should be able to do it for you. Are you earning enough in return?"

Tao Zhiming looked at her with a bright smile, looked at the blue sea, and said speechlessly: "What kind of love and pursuit do you still say? Isn't that too unpleasant?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi looked at him quietly for a while, then leaned softly on his shoulder, and murmured: "This time, I can't make any more mistakes. I don't have much time, and the club has arranged for me I have made a lot of plans. It just so happens that I have curiosity, admiration, and a heart to get close to you. This should be like liking you. But I have a road that I don’t want to part with and want to finish, and I don’t want to be reduced to a mere plaything. If it's you, maybe it's just enough to satisfy all of this?"

"...Since you think you can earn enough for me, I will sign you here. You can still pursue perfection in love and marriage."

"You don't understand me..." Yasuko Sawaguchi whispered with his eyes closed, "it could have been like this. But after listening to those two songs yesterday and hearing this song today, I was really moved. I know that I What kind of person is it, I only want to be tempted once, so I will only be tempted once."

Tao Zhiming really doesn't understand this kind of logic, is it because she is terribly rational?

He was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "In that case, what's the difference from being reduced to a plaything as you understand?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi closed her eyes and smiled: "Because I don't think you are that kind of person, otherwise why everyone in Wander Star is safe and sound."

Tao Zhiming felt that he was a bit cheap: "Why are you so unpursued?"

"Because after seeing Emi-chan crying like that, I have decided to experience this part of my life as a drama." Yasuko Sawaguchi opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at him, "Since After that, my whole life is ready to be dedicated to drama. As for the emotional part, I decided to have the purest way. I only fall in love with one person once, and only experience one person. If it’s just a transaction, then only a transaction Once. If it's love, it doesn't matter how long this love lasts. No matter what kind, at this moment, you are my only choice, and it is the choice I want to make actively. "

"...I really don't understand you." Tao Zhiming didn't know if she was an idiot or what.

"Such a script is rare, right?" Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled sweetly, "The script is decided by me."

Tao Zhiming looked at her with a bit of obsession like a play, this heroine is really a bit powerful, after all she has such a face.

Thinking that he also has the mentality of a game life, he couldn't help saying: "Now, I am really tempted by you."

"Really?" Yasuko Sawaguchi showed a mischievous look in his eyes.

Tao Zhiming nodded seriously: "Treat my own life as a drama, that's what I've always done."

"So there are many heroines in your script?"

"I can decide my own life anyway."

"I think so too."

"But I will ask of you, too."

"I have it too."

"what?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi said seriously: "I have decided my life like this, at least when facing me, find a way to make me feel that love is a very beautiful thing!"

Tao Zhiming looked at her for confirmation, and then finally smiled: "Then let's elope!"

……

Tao Zhiming just disappeared from Tokyo. I heard that after his private plane took off, he only went to Hawaii first, and then he no longer knew the direction.

I can still get in touch on the phone, saying that I am very tired recently and want to take a vacation.

Yasushi Akimoto had no choice but to decide which recording versions to use in the end.

With Tao Zhiming's key position, there are many people who want to contact him.

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki just wanted to ask him, what kind of inside information is there on the October National Railway Branch's listing plan.

Qingtian Yongchen also wanted to ask him what it meant to let him choose a batch of the best geisha to participate in a movie.

Hashimoto Taro also wanted to ask him if he could contact some people to donate more money in accordance with the formalities to help the Senate election to be held in late July.

Not reconciled, Uno Zongyou also wanted to ask him, he heard that the Tao family has great power in the neon media world, what price would it have to pay to suppress the constantly fermenting scandals.

Kinoshita Hidekaze wanted to ask him even more: "Do you not care about the Gate of Heaven project?"

"Brother Xiufeng, after arranging so much funds, don't you just use the money to pile up the construction of this project? The budget is so generous, you are very happy to enjoy the hospitality of the builder, just arrange good people to pay attention to the construction progress and quality. ah."

"But you disappeared so suddenly, it's very frustrating, okay? What happened again?"

"No really, I'm in love."

"Talk..." Kinoshita Hidekaze became numb, "I'll tell Ueda-kun!"

"Don't worry, there will be no satellite phone when you get off the plane. I'm near the South Pole."

"..." Kinoshita Hidekaze was completely numb.

Antarctica... why don't you go to the sky?

Tao Zhiming is really near the Antarctic, next to the Strait of Magellan, in Tierra del Fuego.

In a rented private house, the fireplace was burning fiercely.

Yasuko Sawaguchi rested his hands on his chin, and watched him continue to write in a notebook with a pen in his eyes.

【...The best way to attract someone is to live independently and be what you think is the best, instead of trying to please or flatter you...】

【……do you know?From the day I met you, every step I took was to get close to you. 】

【... Now, I am only so close to you.I can touch your heart with my fingertips. 】

[...but sorry, the air is wrong, the air is between us, build a wall, transparent, invisible, but it is real. 】

【...Goodbye, Watanabe-san.Over the years, I am grateful for your care...]

Tao Zhiming put down his pen, looked at the line and said sadly: "Then she walked away resolutely, leaving behind the most beautiful back, walked into the row upon row of houses, and walked into the crowd."

Yasuko Sawaguchi murmured, "I like this story..."

Tao Zhiming stretched out his hand, stroked her cheek, looked at her beautiful face and said, "If you come to act, it will be very moving."

Yasuko Sawaguchi tilted his head slightly, and rubbed his eyes closed on his palm: "President Tao, will there be that transparent wall between us?"

"Try it?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi opened his eyes and looked at him, remembering that he accompanied her across most of the world to come here, just the two of them.

He talked about so many topics and did so many things.

And the script that was written here, the silhouette of him at the desk at night, the breakfast he cooked in the morning, the song he sang, and the good night he went to another room every day.

"...Are you also serious about acting in this scene?" Yasuko Sawaguchi couldn't help asking, because she was really and completely moved, this is a person who spent so long with her like an ordinary person.

In addition to the cost of transportation and renting this house, during the day he was in a restaurant in a small town, earning his daily salary by cooking Xia Guo's food, and would accompany him when he came back at night.

And then didn't touch myself first.

In his words, not wanting to be a deal.

Hearing her question, Tao Zhiming smiled and shook his head: "It's not acting. Since I started preparing for the game of my own life, it's the first time I want to really touch someone's heart, purely."

"That's also acting." Yasuko Sawaguchi put his arms around his neck, "I know your identity and ability, how can you look pure when you do these things for me?"

"I don't care." Tao Zhiming's mind flashed the face of Sakai Quanshui crying after laughing, and said seriously, "I want to do this."

Yasuko Sawaguchi stared at him, and said softly after a long time, "Thank you. Tao Zhiming, I was indeed moved."

Tao Zhiming laughed: "I like it when you call me that."

Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes lit up with a different light, and he opened his lips: "I think... there is no wall of air. Come to my heart and see you."

The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly in the coldest winter, the sofa was removed, and the quilt was spread on the carpet.

The last stunning beauty of the Showa era was like a moth, and it began to burn itself completely in front of this fire.

I heard that Tao Zhiming went on vacation because of "tiredness", and it took many days to write the lyrics of the last song after all.

On the third day in late July, Taro Hashimoto walked into the Senate with a grim expression.

In the re-election three years ago, 26 people participated and 25 won.

Today, there are also 26 candidates, how many will win?

The leader of the opposition party, Takako Doi, has a ruddy complexion, piercing eyes, and even her lips are painted more vividly than ever.

Soon after, votes were issued.

The quick report came: out of 26 people, only 3 people won the election, and half of the total seats in the Senate were lost.

Hashimoto Taro frowned in frustration, clenched his fist and propped his chin in thought: What will happen next?

And Takako Doi stood up in ecstasy and forgetfulness, clenched her fists and shouted at the media: "The mountain is moving!"

And at this point in time, Tao Zhiming's private jet finally reappeared at the Tokyo airport.

Irie Yuta waited on the other side of the tarmac, the door of the car was already opened.

Yasuko Sawaguchi, who walked down the gangway holding Tao Zhiming's hand, looked even more charming, but Tao Zhiming had some trivial beards.

When Tokyo was still at its hottest, Tao Zhiming stroked his beard and said to Yasuko Sawaguchi with a smile, "It will feel different when I shave it off!"

Yasuko Sawaguchi realized after seeing his eyes that what he said...was not just about the image...
