The Japan Record Awards is a famous music award started in Japan in 1959. It is the most authoritative music award in commercial music. The awards include the highest honor award, album award, and best new singer. This year's recipients of the Outstanding Record Award are Ikimono Gakari.

"Smile", EXILE's "EXILEPRIDE~For Love of the World~", Sakamoto Fuyumi's "Men's Fire Festival" and AKB48's "Love Fortune Cookie", Nogizaka46's "Hairpin", etc.

As expected, Ye Xiao got the news the next morning and learned from his manager Yu Kikuchi that last night's performance went well.

Mai Shiraishi, who was out of shape, also successfully completed her task on the stage. The last very important announcement at the end of the year is NHK TV's Kohaku Uta Party.

As a low-cost production, "Bottom Girl" has a box office of 500 million yen in its first week, and its reputation and popularity on the Internet are also rising steadily. It is foreseeable that it will soon usher in a wave of explosions.

Ye Xiao finally rejected Masaharu Fukuyama as the leading actor in "Seoul Love Story". In his opinion, Masaharu Fukuyama is more of a musician than a filmmaker, while Takuya Kimura has already proven his calling in TV dramas.

power and nationality.

Therefore, in recent meetings, it was finally decided that Kimura Takuya would play the male lead in "Seoul Love Story".

After the male lead was confirmed, Ye Xiao, the wife of the cheating company boss in the play, thought for a long time and finally chose Matsushima among post-70s actresses such as Nanako Matsushima, Takako Matsu, Yuki Uchida, Yukie Nakama, and Koyuki Kato.

Shima Nanako.

The heroine is played by Lim Yoona.

In fact, if this movie is divided according to the number of scenes, it should be regarded as a double heroine, with half scenes in Tokyo and half in Seoul.

The daughter of Takuya Kimura and Nanako Matsushima, a delinquent high school girl in her youthful rebellious period is played by Reina Takeda, an artist under Asuka Entertainment.

Ye Xiao originally planned to let Hori Mina play this role, but Takeda Rena was more suitable than her in terms of appearance, and fundamentally speaking, Hori Mina was still an idol under Sony Music at this time.

It is impossible for Ye Xiao to invest all his resources in Nogizaka46. After all, there are still three artists under Asuka Entertainment that need to be cultivated.

Now that they have signed the contract, Ye Xiao will be responsible for their future.

Riho Yoshioka takes the direction of TV series.

Rena Takeda takes the direction of movies.

Shinozaki likes to be an Internet celebrity, a live broadcast host, a photo idol, and occasionally releases singles and albums.

Except for a few important role actors who needed to be confirmed by Ye Xiao personally, other roles were left to other staff members of the crew.

The cast list for this movie must be finalized before the year, and the company must communicate with the other party's agency to confirm the schedule and sign the contract. Ye Xiao has no mood or time to postpone these things until after the year.

Once the filming of Lim Yoona's TV series is completed, the filming of the movie "Seoul Love Story" will start immediately.

Of course, in this movie, Ye Xiao will also imitate the movie "Bottom Hot Girls" and insert several members of Nogizaka46 into them to be the hero's daughter - the companions of the bad high school girl.

Among Nogizaka46, two names with contrasting temperaments soon appeared in front of Ye Xiao's eyes.

Nishino Nanase and Matsumura Sayuri.

Osaka girls have a bold and rebellious side deep inside.

After deciding on the part of "Seoul Love Story", it was once again the movie version of "White Night".

Who should be cast as the male and female protagonists has become a big problem again.

The male and female protagonists selected by Ye Xiao for the TV series version of "White Night Walk" are Ninomiya Kazuya and Ishihara Satomi. To be honest, it is difficult to find a more suitable cast lineup.

The ratings of the TV series version exploded, and many actors were reluctant to star in the movie.

The reason is very simple. It's nothing more than the fear of being compared with the TV series version. If the box office is too bad, the reputation may not be much better.

In the original history, the male and female protagonists of the TV series version of "White Night Journey" were Takayuki Yamada and Haruka Ayase.

The movie version stars Maki Horikita and Kengo Kora.

There was really no other way, so Ye Xiao could only call Yui Aragaki, hoping that she could come over and support the occasion.

In fact, there are still actresses to choose from, but Ye Xiao has always been a humane man. He doesn't want to shoot for anyone, so why not shoot for his good friend?

"Why did you call me here?" After Ye Xiao's call, Yui Aragaki finished shooting a magazine cover and immediately rushed to Asuka Film and Television.

"You can make the movie version of "White Night Journey"!"

"So sudden?" Yui Aragaki looked at Ye Xiao with a puzzled look, "I thought Ishihara Satomi-san would continue to star?"

"Um...I can't decide on the actors for the movie alone. Considering various factors, in order to bring freshness to the audience of the movie version, I decided to replace them all. I think this precious opportunity cannot be cheap.

As an outsider, I just called you here, how can you be loyal?"

"It would have been better if you had come to me earlier. The TV series for the first half of next year and the movies for the second half of next year have almost been decided." Yui Aragaki said with a wry smile.

"Are they all starring?" Ye Xiao asked curiously. He didn't expect that the female giant was so popular. She was indeed very busy.

"It's not a TV series, it's a movie."

"Then just put the TV series off and I'll talk to your agent. There should be no problem."

"Okay then...ok, who is the male lead?" Even if Ye Xiao hadn't found her, she was a supporting role in a TV series and a leading role in a movie. Of course Yui Aragaki knew how to choose.

Although it is inevitable to compare her with the heroine Satomi Ishihara in the TV series version, when has Yui Aragaki ever been afraid?

What's more, on the Internet, on Station 2, many netizens have compared her with Ishihara Satomi.

In this circle, in the eyes of others, they have long become so-called formula opponents.

Moreover, Yui Aragaki knew something about the relationship between Satomi Ishihara and Ye Xiao.

The affair between Satomi Ishihara and Kazuya Ninomiya.

What a mess.

The circle is so big, and the relationships between people sometimes seem transparent.

"Kimura was originally quite interested in this role, but I asked him to star in another movie of mine."

"'Seoul Love Story'? I'm actually quite interested in that story, but it's a pity that the heroine is Korean. Do you really plan to find a Korean actor to play it?"

"That's for sure, otherwise I would definitely come looking for you."

"Really?"

"It goes without saying that we are related to each other. We are already so familiar with each other, and the good news should not go to outsiders! Look... we haven't dated for a long time. Do you have time today?"

These past few days have been very stressful, my nerves are tense, and all kinds of emotions are tangled up in my heart. It was not until today that I finally calmed down a little.

Ye Xiao also wanted to find a chance to relax.

"Will you accompany me back to Okinawa during the Chinese New Year?"

"Ah... let's continue talking about movies."

"Who is the leading actor? Who should I play with? I need to find someone handsome!"

Of course, Ye Xiao cannot accompany Aragaki Yui back to Okinawa. This is the rhythm of meeting his parents. Bringing gifts to visit during the New Year is basically taking the steps to get married.

He became a single father for the first time and was still immersed in the shadow of the tragic death of his child's mother.

Regarding marriage and raising children, I feel anxious and uneasy from the bottom of my heart.

"Come on, Higashikata Masada. You guys have also collaborated in "My Love from the Star", so we are old acquaintances."

Ye Xiao made his decision in an instant, and then he suddenly discovered that Feiniao Entertainment only had three female artists, but not a single male artist under contract. As a result, when filming the movie, he obviously had a lot of resources, but he was unable to cultivate himself.

of newcomers.

What a waste!

Oh, by the way, isn’t there another newly-signed Saito Chitori?

19-year-old Saito Chitori!

Ye Xiao felt that in both "Seoul Love Story" and the movie version of "White Night Journey", he could be used to gain some familiarity and gain some experience.

Of course, in the movie version of "White Night Walk", Ye Xiao will also routinely let Hori Mina, Nishino Nanase, and Shiraishi Mai continue to improve their proficiency in it.

Whether it's Yui Aragaki or Satomi Ishihara, or Kasumi Arimura or Masaki Sugata, no one has ever become famous as soon as they debut.

Basically, they are trained and honed from small roles, so that they can accumulate acting skills and experience bit by bit, so that when major opportunities come, they can firmly catch that rare opportunity with both hands and step on it.

On the shoulders of giants.
