Chapter 441, choose you, play the scene of life(1/2)
In Neon, Dimension Culture and Wandetar are all new forces.
If it weren't for Tao Zhiming's existence and his energy, how could Dimensional Culture and Wandetar start to shake up the neon entertainment industry?
Toho, Toei, Shochiku, and Nikkatsu. Before Kadokawa Shoten announced its entry into the film and television industry, these four were absolute giants.
In the golden period of the 1970s, Toho focused on comedies, Shochiku focused on family dramas, Toei did period dramas, and Nikkatsu focused on youth dramas.
But after entering the 1980s, the ambitious Toho began to steal the jobs of other peers.
One of the big moves was to launch its own beauty pageant: Toho Cinderella.
"...just five years ago, I participated in that competition, and finally won the championship, and was called the first generation of Princess Toho." Yasuko Sawaguchi laughed at herself, "I thought it was the beginning of a new life, but, after entering
Only then did this industry realize what the real world is like.”
Tao Zhiming listened to her quietly.
"I remember before I entered 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 been in a relationship?
How many boyfriends do you have?' Another judge asked: 'How much is your height?' The sister replied: '160.' The judges at the scene looked at her with a smile and said, 'I don't know which question this 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 2,000 people participating, I finally got the first place. Isn't it pretty awesome?"
Tao Zhiming sighed: "Of course it's awesome."
He also knew that since then, Toho has held several Cinderella auditions, and only Nagasawa Masami can catch up to her popularity. The last role in the Showa era was not blown out.
"But a senior told me that people like me who were selected in beauty pageants belong to idols. Idols are idols, singers are singers, actors are actors, and entertainers are entertainers. Everyone has an essential job. Idols
My job is to provide everyone with a favorite image. In this circle, idols are sometimes not as good as some outstanding entertainers. Probably because I am the champion, I got the job as a actor from the beginning."
In Neon, the so-called actor generally refers to actors in film and television dramas.
Yasuko Sawaguchi gently held his hand: "But I know what the experiences of other winners of the awards in the same period were like. The year before last, Toho Cinderella selected the second generation, Emi, the second generation.
Jiang, she was only 15 years old at that time, she, she..."
Tao Zhiming felt that her hand was being held a little too hard and was speechless for a moment.
Later people always marveled at the horror of Zhou Guo's entertainment industry, but little did they know that Zhou Guo developed on the basis of Neon's experience. It's just that on one side there are more unscrupulous plutocrats, and on the other side there are multi-party balanced consortiums.
Neon's market is larger and its consumption power is stronger, so the income in this industry is relatively stable. For the big shots in Neon, "reputation" is also very important in such a cultural environment, so it will always create a more stable market.
Secret, more stylish occasion and atmosphere.
But after all, it is a circle that is "rich in beauties". How can most of the people in it escape its rules?
Yasuko Sawaguchi calmed down and then said: "I signed the contract, and I also have a starting point as a actor. Therefore, I have to 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 actor.
I have to continue this career! I have been noticed by so many people, and fame is also my protection, isn't it?"
Tao Zhiming somewhat admired her sober understanding.
"However, in addition to being an actor, my other identity is that of a contracted member of the club." Yasuko Sawaguchi took a deep breath, "Sometimes, I can't decide my own schedule. For example, the first time I met you
That was my time."
"...Is this what it turns out to be?"
"But after that time, because I was shooting a BravoSport commercial and participating in the first Tokyo Fashion Festival, I met people from Wandetar and got to know Akina. Especially when I had a guest role in "The Golden Age", I met
It’s Rie-chan.”
Tao Zhiming looked at her in astonishment: "Are you and Rie also friends?"
Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes were complicated: "Yeah, didn't you teach her to make more friends? That child said at the time that you reprimanded her and told her not to participate in some Toho Cinderella selection. Only then did I know
, It turns out that everyone who signed a contract in Wandetar has such a loose contract and a president like you. She complained to me that it was difficult to study, and complained that you didn’t let her mother see her more..."
"...Don't this kid 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 Izumi likes you secretly, Sister Akina has been 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 Company?"
"Of course... Kagawa-kun's mother was from the Takarazuka Opera Company."
"He? He is indeed an actor who works hard and has great potential..." Yasuko Sawaguchi recalled, "I heard that because you were his senior at Tokyo University, you supported him 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 beauties, because they were trained by specialized music schools, have deliberately taken a higher-end route in terms of appearance, temperament, etiquette, and style, and are recognized by the public as high-quality marriage partners. But Takarazuka beauties can truly
Very few wives enter the upper class. Most of them end up being raised as "caged birds".
"That's why I became curious about you." The look in Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes softened, "A child as cute as Rie-chan, a singer as beautiful and talented as Izumi, and a famous singer like Miss Nakamori, you have such a
There are many opportunities to get them, but very few
Some people can refuse you. But you don’t have it. Not only do you not have it, but you will never ask them to do anything that has nothing to do with work. Apart from creating and performing, it is just studying. Wandetar has such a relaxed atmosphere, and you are here for it.
What?"
"...Is it okay to make money?" Tao Zhiming was speechless, "Is this how the outside world sees me?"
"So I think...even though you have a few women, you are still a kind and gentle person, right?" Yasuko Sawaguchi murmured, "I don't know if you will continue to refuse some of the club's requests.
There wouldn't be much chance. In fact, if Dimensional Culture hadn't offered a very high salary last year, my most important job would have been to accompany President Tsutsumi on some of his trips. In fact, you have already saved me once.
"
Tao Zhiming shook his head: "Don't think like that. I'm just interested in your fame for the sake of ratings."
If there is no me in the other timeline, wouldn't she become more and more popular?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something in his heart. Since then, there has been no news about her being in love, and she has never been married. He wonders if there is some unknown secret.
Did Yoshiaki Tsutsumi really achieve nothing with her power, which was claimed to be the richest man in the world with a net worth of 165 billion yuan at that time?
Maybe it’s because he has thoroughly seen through these things that he is determined to improve his acting skills and take the initiative in life.
Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled: "In short, now I not only want to go further on the road of being an actor, but also want to avoid such worries and troubles. After thinking about it, Wandetar seems to be my best choice. Dimensional Culture
, Pantao Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Mogami Cinemas, TV Tokyo... With your ability, sooner or later you can become a platform like Toho or even better? If this is a deal, I should also be able to help you
Earn enough returns?"
Tao Zhiming looked at her with a bright smile and the blue sea, and said speechlessly: "What kind of love and pursuit do you think this is? Wouldn't it be too disgraceful to say so?"
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 made arrangements for me again."
I have made a lot of plans. It just so happens that I am curious about you, admire you, and want to get close to you. This should mean I like you. But I have my own reluctance and want to complete the journey, and I don’t want to be reduced to a mere plaything.
If it were you, you might be able to satisfy all of these, right?"
"...Since you think you can earn enough rewards for me, I will sign you over. You can still pursue perfection in love and marriage."
"You don't understand me..." Yasuko Sawaguchi said in a low voice with her eyes closed, "It could have been like this. But after listening to those two songs yesterday, and hearing this song again today, I have been really moved. I know that I
What kind of person is he? 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 her rationality is terrible?
He was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "In that case, what's the difference between being reduced to a plaything as you understand it?"
Yasuko Sawaguchi closed her eyes and smiled: "Because I don't think you are that kind of person. Otherwise, why would everyone in Wandetar be safe and sound?"
Tao Zhiming felt that he was a bit cheap: "Why didn't you pursue me so much?"
"Because after seeing Emi-chan crying like that, I have decided to experience this part of my life as a drama." Yasuko Sawaguchi opened her eyes, sat up straight, and looked at him, "From
From then on, my whole life was ready to be dedicated to drama. As for the emotional part, I
I decided to have the purest way. Only fall in love once, and only experience one person. If it is just a transaction, then only trade once. If it is love, then don’t worry about how long this love can last. No matter which kind it is, right now
At this moment, you are my only choice, and it is a choice I want to take the initiative to make."
"...I really don't understand you." Tao Zhiming didn't know if she was crazy or what.
"Such scripts are rare, right?" Sawaguchi Yasuko smiled sweetly, "It's a script decided by me."
Tao Zhiming looked at her with such a crazy look, that this heroine was really powerful, after all, she had such a face.
Thinking that he also had a game-like mentality, he couldn't help but said: "Now, I am really attracted to you."
"Really?" Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes showed a trace of mischief.
Tao Zhiming nodded seriously: "Treat your life as a play, that's what I've always done."
"So there are many heroines in your script?"
"Anyway, I can decide my own life."
"I want that too."
"But I will also have requirements for you."
"Me too."
"What?"
