During the disco craze, celebrity entertainers were also guests at the dance halls.
If word spreads about a certain store that a certain celebrity often patronizes it, customers will immediately follow suit. If a newly opened disco wants to advertise, one of the ways is to spread the news that a certain big name also comes here to play.
.
Of course, whether customers can be retained after being introduced to the store depends on the quality of the store.
The girl opened her eyes wide and stared at the man and woman who walked in arm in arm. She tried hard to restrain herself from shouting. But in contrast to her excitement, the atmosphere around her was nonchalant.
If it were at a disco in Hong Kong, if these two people appeared at the same time, they would definitely attract all the attention in the venue. The next day, word of mouth would spread, and many people who liked these two people would come to the store to dance.
However, at the disco in Tokyo, even if the guests coming in and out passed by the celebrity couple, they did not cast any unnecessary glances at them.
This man and woman are both big stars loved by young people in Hong Kong.
One is Hong Kong's most popular singer Kajing Queen Amei, and the other... is the well-known idol Kondo Masahiko!
It was certainly a surprise to see Amei, but what made the girl even more excited was to see the popular Kondo Masahiko up close. Her heart was pounding and she really wanted to rush up and say hello to them both.
Matchy is so cool!
The girl's eyes were burning as she watched the intimate Amei and Kondo Masahiko walk in together.
Information has a lag. In Japan, where the entertainment industry is changing very fast, Kondo Masahiko is almost unknown. But in Xiangjiang, which is a few beats slower, Kondo Masahiko is still the focus of discussion among star-chasers. He is Japan’s
superstar.
It is quite common in this era for Japanese stars who have faded away to pursue careers in Hong Kong.
Yoshie Kashiwahara, an idol who was loved by both Prince Naruhito and Locust House, went to run the Xiangjiang market after becoming a local, and became very popular in the local area. For Japanese idols who have become famous, the last places are Xiangjiang and Taiwan.
If no one pays attention to these two places, then we can only lie down and accept the fact that we have passed.
The Japanese don’t know who Amei is, and they no longer care who Kondo Masahiko is. But in the eyes of girls, Kondo Masahiko is still a cool and handsome idol star.
It wasn't until she saw the two people disappearing from the entrance that the girl came back to her senses and the focus shifted from Kondo Masahiko to the intimacy between May and Kondo Masahiko, arm in arm.
Those two seem to be dating!
After discovering the big news, the girl was excited and hurried back to look for her companions on the hot dance floor, wanting to tell them about it.
Big news! Ah Mei is dating Matchy!
The words were stuck in her throat, like a soda bottle after shaking hard, just waiting to unscrew the cap.
At this time, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder. The girl was startled and turned around to see the boy who came with her.
"What are you looking for?"
"Big news! I saw Mei and Matchy coming in together!" The soda bottle cap was unscrewed, and the girl grabbed his arm and spoke very quickly to speak out the words stuck in her throat.
"Amei and Matchy?"
"Kondo, Kondo Masahiko!" the girl repeated.
"These two people are in this disco now?" the boy confirmed with her.
The girl nodded repeatedly.
"These two people?" The boy also found it incredible. However, as he looked at the excited faces of his companions, his mind turned, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
The four of them are all ordinary college students. They saved their money for a while before coming to Tokyo. After this trip, their wallets will be tight for a while when they go back. If they can take photos of Mei and Kondo Masahiko together...
The boy is not a fan of Amei. Although he once thought Kondo Masahiko was cool, that was because the girls around him liked Kondo Masahiko, so he imitated Kondo Masahiko's hairstyle and clothes.
If you are not a fan, this kind of thing is even less burdensome.
When I came to Tokyo this time, I didn’t see anything about Kondo Masahiko in the streets and alleys. Wherever I went, there wasn’t any store playing Kondo Masahiko’s songs. It’s obvious that in Japan, he has completely passed away.
However, in Xiangjiang, if these two people's names are put together, they will definitely fetch a good price.
The boy's heart was pounding when he thought of this idea. His head that was heated on the dance floor had cooled down, and now he was preoccupied with taking a photo of the two of them in the same frame.
But he looked around the dance floor and saw how popular it was. There was little hope of finding two people there. Moreover, he didn't have a camera with him right now...
Photography is not allowed in the disco, so they stored the camera in advance when you came.
If you want to take a photo of the two of them, you can't do it inside the disco, but what about outside the disco?
How many exits does this store have? Where is the parking lot? Did these two people come here to dance by taxi or with a driver? The boy looked around and thought about it. If he wanted to do this, he still needed them.
Four people cooperate.
First win over an accomplice, and then work together to convince the other two.
He thought to himself, and his eyes fell on the girl's face again, "I thought of a good thing, do you want to hear it?"
…
Ah Mui's career in Hong Kong is booming. Not only is she a top female singer, but the movie "Rouge Button" as the heroine was also a great success.
In Hong Kong, Amei is a top star.
Kondo Masahiko didn't care about Amei's career in Hong Kong. In a sense, Amei's high-spirited career just stung him.
After the Daesang incident, his popularity and reputation fell to the bottom, and because he offended people in the recording industry, well-known songwriters no longer wanted to deal with him. Without the popularity of the audience, he would not be able to transition into acting in TV dramas. Without the support of good songs, it would be impossible.
The opportunity to regain momentum through word-of-mouth songs was lost.
But the most important thing is that the firm does not intend to invest any more resources in him.
Kondo Masahiko, who lost his popularity among the audience and offended the industry, was destined to fall to the bottom after being pushed out and used as a punching bag. Kitagawa believed that Kondo Masahiko had no value in saving and was unwilling to waste resources.
Although Kitagawa Mari has not changed her love for him, she is not a fool who devotes herself to him unnecessarily.
What's more, Kitagawa showed an extremely tough attitude after the Daishou incident, and Kitagawa Mari couldn't go against her brother's will. In the end, no matter what the plan, Keiko is the future heir to Johnny's, and it can only be acknowledged by Kitagawa.
To make it come true.
For the sake of her daughter, Kitagawa Mari had to worry about her brother's thoughts. On the other hand, Kondo Masahiko, in order to achieve the goal in his mind, carefully obeyed the mercy of Kitagawa Mari's mother and daughter.
The more he acted like he was willing to give up his idol career and focus on being a racing driver, the more Mari Kitagawa felt sorry for ruining his career because of his understanding, even just a little bit.
After all, Kondo Masahiko has no hope of turning around, and a considerable part of the reason is to quell the industry's dissatisfaction with Johnny, and pushed him out as a sacrifice.
But the overbearing and unreasonable landowner occasionally has a little compassion for his domestic slaves. As long as he uses it well, he will gain a lot.
Kabukiza and Keiko's "blind date" was a deliberate matchmaking by Kitagawa Marie. At this point, no matter what Fujishima Keiko thought of Kondo Masahiko, she had already won a vote from Kitagawa Marie.
As long as Kondo Masahiko is loyal enough to his mother and daughter, Kitagawa Marie will definitely promote him.
Johnny's future heir must be Keiko. Not only that, Keiko's father came from a prominent background, and even an overbearing landowner like Kitagawa Marie was proud to marry Fujishima Taisuke as she wished and change her name to "Fujishima Yasuko".
If you can marry Keiko, what if you become "Fujishima Masahiko"?
If you can marry her, you will be promoted to the top of the firm and get in touch with the upper class society. What does it mean to be in the entertainment world? Why don't those brats like GENJI, who are now popular, have to kneel down in front of him?!
Although the Daesang incident ruined Kondo Masahiko's reputation, it also allowed him to see something: the "power" that can ignore everything.
Kondo Masahiko does not think that buying the prize is wrong. He only thinks that the reason why he failed to buy the prize is firstly because Akina Nakamori is a woman who is not sensible, and secondly because Johnny's "power" is not strong enough.
If he could be so strong that he could ignore the will of that woman Akina Nakamori, and be so strong that Weekly Bunshun wouldn't dare to expose it later...
He was fired with ambition.
On the one hand, he is trying to get in touch with Fujishima Keiko and play the role she likes in front of Kitagawa Mari. Even if he hates Keiko as a woman, Keiko rarely has a good attitude towards him, so he must work hard to build a good relationship with her.
On the other hand, he bought an apartment with the 80 million yen he received from Mei, and took out a loan to buy land. Money made money and he prospered, but his results were poor. His racing career without sponsors also relied on himself.
You can participate multiple times with the money you pour.
Kondo Masahiko's plan is sound. He wants to focus on his racing career, and then rely on the money he earns from stock trading and land purchases to form his own team. Even if he doesn't become a famous racing driver, it would be good to be a famous team manager...
He doesn't want to be said to be a loser relying on Keiko. A man must have his own career!
Now it seems that everything is going well.
He worked hard to perform, and with Marissan's help, Keiko's attitude towards him became better. The land prices in Tokyo were rising sharply, and the stock market was unprecedented. In the idol era, he worked hard to appear on shows and rehearse songs and dances, but how could he make money like he does now?
easy.
Everything was going well, but something started to make Kondo Masahiko feel uncomfortable.
"What are you thinking about?" the woman in his arms asked.
Kondo Masahiko looked at Amei and responded with a bright smile, "I'm thinking about where I want to go with you in the future."
He had a happy smile on his face, but he was a little impatient in his heart.
After buying an apartment in Taitung District in the name of "home", Amei became even more attached to him. She came to Tokyo from Xiangjiang and went to the apartment where he lived, taking care of everything like a hostess.
Kondo Masahiko felt that Amei had become a vague obstacle to him.
If this continues, Amei will sooner or later become a variable in his plan. He begins to think about how to deal with his relationship with Amei.
It is impossible to marry a foreign woman.
He already has the money, but what he longs for is the kind of power he has seen before, and that is something that Amei cannot give.
Besides, Ah Mei's flourishing acting career made Kondo Masahiko feel uncomfortable when he thought of her dazzling appearance on stage.
Seeing her high spirits as a star, Kondo Masahiko thought of his idol career that had been completely suspended, and felt unhappy and unsatisfied with her halo, which was an eyesore.
I won't marry Amei, but money is involved, so breaking up can't be so simple.
Kondo Masahiko and Amei were dancing together on the dance floor, but he was wondering if there was a breakup that would leave him unscathed.
…
The four tourists from Xiangjiang reached a consensus and were all moved by the boy's proposal. Another boy was a little hesitant and felt that this kind of secret photography was not aboveboard enough - he liked Amei very much.
However, the other three companions persuaded him, and the boy who made the suggestion simply said that since the relationship between the two is so close, maybe it can help expose them and enhance their relationship, "Amei is aboveboard!"
It sounds wrong, but it also gave the boy a step down.
With Amei's celebrity status, if she can really be photographed, it will be big news, and the reward from the magazine will be quite a lot. With the reward at hand, and the encouragement of friends, now I have a reason...
"I will do it!" he made up his mind.
Another girl said: "We don't have cameras."
"It's not too late to buy it now." The boy who suggested had already made a plan. "Aren't there disposable cameras for sale everywhere?"
The four people reached a consensus and decided to take action.
…
The warehouse-renovated disco has a spacious venue and cheap tickets. Not only that, the business strategy is also different from that of a high-end disco. The "teacher" who leads the dance on the stage is more open-minded and the excitement is first-class.
Yes, the leading dancer in disco is called "teacher".
Ignorant people enter the field, and soon they become kites with strings in the hands of the "teacher", being swept up high by the wind of the warm atmosphere around them, and forget about themselves.
Okada Yukiko is no exception. Before entering the venue, she didn’t even know how to get around, but now she’s enjoying herself.
"Iwahashi-san, you dance so well!"
She leaned against Iwahashi Shinichi's ear and said excitedly.
"It's better than I imagined!" Yukiko Okada was excited about her great discovery.
Iwahashi Shinichi tilted his head, looked at her face that was flushed with heat, and asked her, "Would you like to go have something to drink and take a rest?"
The two people left the dance floor and went to the rest area.
Iwahashi Shinichi also drove and did not bring alcoholic beverages. Okada Yukiko also followed his example.
Leaving the center of the heat and taking a break, I felt a little relieved for a moment.
"Are you having fun?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
Okada Yukiko nodded, "Thank you for coming with me... I made such a request casually."
"I had a great time too," he said.
"real?"
With such an answer, Okada Yukiko also felt happy.
The two of them hung out and chatted for a few words. After playing for a while, they almost had enough fun. They just waited for them to finish their drinks and rest enough before sending her home.
While he was talking, two or three guests came towards him.
Iwahashi Shinichi faced them and looked at them. He immediately recognized a familiar face among them, it was Tetsuya Komuro from TM NETWORK.
Under the same roof backstage at the Red and White Song Concert, this face is recognisable.
