Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 168 No More
Chapter 168 No More
The recording studio on the first floor of the headquarters of Yunying Pictures is particularly lively today.
Shota Yoshioka and Taiko Nagato arrived first.
Followed by the supervision of Kawauchi Zhijia of Yunshang Animation.
Shinsuke Ito, who is not too busy recently, also came to join in the fun.
The senior executives of Yunying Painting were only missing the busy Asako Hirohashi.
As for why, it’s all because there is a band from Osaka who will audition here.
The band audition is not a big deal, the key is that this band was personally invited by Hideki Hanyu.
Everyone is very curious about what kind of band Hideki Hanyu will personally invite.
The five members of the MAKE-UP band who arrived early had never been nervous before performing in front of hundreds of people.
But facing so many people today, they all felt a little nervous and sweaty palms.
Manager Takeshita Yoshiaki saw everyone’s nervousness, and quietly comforted the team members.
Don’t look at them all dressed in trendy clothes and looking unique, but the oldest guitarist, Hiroaki Matsuzawa, is only 22 years old now.
The lead singer Yamada Nobuo who auditioned today is actually only 19 years old.
But MAKE-UP has been here for a while, the agreed time has passed, but the audition still hasn’t started.
They didn’t know what was going on, but seeing that the high-level executives of Yunshang Painting were also waiting, they could only wait.
And at the recording studio, Nagato Taiko asked Shota Yoshioka curiously, “Yoshioka-san, why hasn’t President Hanyu come yet?”
“I don’t know either.” Yoshioka Shota shook his head.
Normally, Hideki Hanyu is a punctual person, but now he is nearly half an hour late, which is unprecedented.
And at this moment, Nobusuke Ito next to him came forward with a gossipy face.
“Does Yoshioka-san know, Hanyu-san went to Shiseido’s reception the day before yesterday, and someone introduced Hanyu-san to a blind date.”
“I don’t know, how did Ito-san know?”
Shota Yoshioka was a little surprised when he heard the words, not only him, but also the people around him came together curiously when they heard this kind of gossip.
“Because the introducer is Shiseido’s Eiio Fukuhara, who used to be in…in…anyway, he is very familiar with it. He wants to ask Hanyu-san how he feels.”
At the end, Nobusuke Ito winked and said, “You must not have guessed, who is the girl introduced?”
“Who is it?” Yoshioka Shota asked curiously.
“It’s the ruling family of ITOCHU Corporation, the lady of the Naito family.”
As soon as Ito Shinsuke said this, the people around were quite surprised.
Yoshioka Shota couldn’t help but say.
“When Hanyu-san comes, let’s persuade him to agree. If he becomes the son-in-law of the ruling family of ITOCHU Corporation, we will be able to cooperate with ITOCHU Corporation in the future.”
“What are you cooperating with ITOCHU? Do you want to shoot commercials for steel and oil?” Shinsuke Ito asked curiously.
“Stupid, there are a lot of products they operate, and besides, ITOCHU is behind the No. [-] consortium. Do you think we have a chance to join?”
As soon as Shota Yoshioka’s sweet dreams arose, he heard a voice coming from outside the door.
“What did Yoshioka-san say to join?”
Accompanied by the sound, Hideki Hanyu’s figure appeared.
Today, Hideki Hanyu is dressed in casual clothes, looking youthful and sunny, like a college student who has just finished class.
“It’s nothing, Hanyu-san came so late today.”
Shota Yoshioka knew that Hideki Hanyu didn’t like others mixing his feelings, so he quickly changed the topic.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”
After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he realized that there were so many people in the recording studio, especially Shinsuke Ito was still there.
“There are a lot of people, Ito-san is here too, that’s great, I was going to find you.”
Nobusuke Ito asked carefully, “What does Hanyu-san want from me?”
He was afraid that Hanyu Hideki would find out about his gossip about Hanyu Hideki’s blind date.
“Of course it’s about work. If I say I want to meet Nana-chan, will Ito-san agree?”
Hearing Hanyu Hideki’s joke, Ito Shinsuke shook his head repeatedly.
“Absolutely not.”
“Okay, let’s talk about the specifics after the audition is over.”
After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he looked at the rock and roll youths sitting outside the recording studio, and he knew without guessing that it was the MAKE-UP band.
Especially the young man with dyed blond hair sitting in the middle.
In his previous life, he watched “Pegasus Fantasy” sung by this singer on video sites.
Although the appearance looks a little green at this time, it can still be distinguished that it is Nobuo Yamada, the lead singer of the MAKE-UP band.
When they came to several people, Hideki Hanyu took the initiative to say hello.
“Everyone is the MAKE-UP band. I am Hideki Hanyu, the president of Unup Pictures, and I invited everyone to audition. I am sorry for being late because of something.”
Hanyu Hideki and the others naturally knew each other. Seeing the celebrity chairman apologize to them in person, they all hurriedly got up to return the salute.
“President Hanyu, I’m Takeshita Yoshiaki, the manager of the band MAKE-UP, this is Nobuo Yamada, the lead singer of the band, this is…”
As a manager, Takeshita Yoshiaki hurriedly introduced information about MAKE-UP to Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu said straight to the point, “I invite everyone here this time to audition for a song. You should familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible and enter the studio to try out the effect.”
He handed over the score of “Pegasus Fantasy” to several people.
Then he didn’t forget to order the staff to provide them with the musical instruments they needed.
Seeing a few people getting familiar with the song in the recording room, Hanyu Hideki didn’t bother him, and turned to look for Yoshioka Shota.
“If it’s appropriate, how will Yoshioka-san plan to arrange them?”
Yoshioka Shota pointed to Nagato Taiyuki who was talking to Kawauchi Tomoka next to him.
“For a band, let’s put it on Nagato-san’s MF record, and YM record is still dominated by idols.”
Hideki Hanyu thought about it, and felt that it made sense. After all, YM Records produced idols like Genki Girl and Akina Nakamori.
The producers signed now also belong to this aspect.
“Yes, but President Nagato must pay attention to the measure of interference.”
This hardcore rock band still insists on music style.
Nagato Taiko is also a person who likes to control the creation of singers. He is afraid that there will be problems between the two parties.
“Don’t worry Hanyu-san, I’ll let Nagato-san pay attention.”
After talking about the band, Hideki Hanyu remembered the recruitment of trainees for the first period.
“Yoshioka-san, how is the promotion of the first trainee recruitment going?”
“The effect is not bad. I have registered more than 7000 applicants there.”
“How do you prepare for the selection?” Hideki Hanyu asked.
This kind of selection of trainees, sometimes just looking at the information is not enough, you need to meet real people to judge whether you have potential.
“We plan to conduct the selection in different regions. I will arrange people from the firm and teachers from the training school to go to various places in Neon for the primary selection, and finally come to Tokyo for the secondary selection.”
“Has the primary election started here in Tokyo?”
“Preparation is in progress. We want to select applicants from the Tokyo metropolitan area together. Hanyu-san knows that this is the area with the largest number of people, and it will take time to prepare.”
“Get ready to let me know, I’ll take a look when the time comes.” Hanyu Hideki said.
More than 7000 people have signed up now, and by the time the primary election starts, the number of participants will surely exceed [-].
With so many people, even if Hideki Hanyu wanted to find someone who would become famous in the future, it would be impossible for him to go to every place in Nihong.
It would be nice to be able to take care of Tokyo.
While he was chatting with Shota Yoshioka, the MAKE-UP band was also getting ready.
The other party’s manager Yoshiaki Takeshita found Hideki Hanyu, “President Hanyu, we are ready.”
After finishing speaking, Takeshita Yoshiaki carefully explained, “President Hanyu, the time they have been familiar with this song is too short, there will definitely be problems in coordination…”
Hanyu Hideki waved his hand indifferently, “Manager Takeshita, I understand this, I just want to see the effect.”
Of course, Hideki Hanyu would not naively think that if a band is familiar with a song for half an hour, it will be able to cooperate seamlessly and perform with great proficiency.
“let’s start.”
The staff in charge of the recording studio gave an order, and the prelude came out.
Although it sounded that the band’s performance was obviously unfamiliar, the familiar music still instantly stirred Hideki Hanyu’s memory.
Especially when Nobuo Yamada’s singing sounded, Hideki Hanyu really wanted to shout out, the familiar childhood came back.
He almost couldn’t help humming along.
As for the people next to them, they also had different expressions when they heard the singing.
Shota Yoshioka has read the sheet music, and also likes the songs written by Hideki Hanyu very much.
At first he was worried about the fit of the band.
But the moment the singing sounded,
Even if the playing is a bit messy, even if Yamada Nobuo’s singing is a bit unfamiliar.
All of Yoshioka Shota’s doubts disappeared immediately.
This band seems to be born for this song.
As the supervisor of “Saint Seiya” TV animation, Tomoyo Kawauchi, who has never read the song score, didn’t care about it at the beginning of the audition, and sat casually on a chair in the recording studio, chatting with Nagato Taiyuki.
But when she heard the prelude and the singing, she immediately stood up from her chair.
She looked at the band in the recording room, and at Hideki Hanyu next to her.
This song by Hideki Hanyu is perfect for “Saint Seiya”.
Because of this song, she felt that the previously edited titles were not suitable.
Be sure to re-edit a version of the title to match the song.
As for Nagato Taiyuki who was chatting with Kawauchi Chika, he was the only one at the scene who was more interested in the MAKE-UP band itself than the songs.
Shota Yoshioka called him today, and he already explained that if the audition is suitable and Hideki Hanyu agrees, the new band will be handed over to MF Records.
Now that I hear the MAKE-UP band sing this song by Hideki Hanyu, think about the popularity of “Saint Seiya” in the neon comics world.
Nagato Taiko felt that as long as he operated properly, a top band that truly belonged to MF Records would be born.
The only pity is that although lead singer Nobuo Yamada is not ugly, he is not handsome either.
Especially compared to the perfect lead singer he envisioned.
Thinking of this, Nagato Taiko couldn’t help but glanced at Hanyu Hideki.
“It’s amazing explosive power.” Ito Shinsuke couldn’t help but praise.
“It’s a great song, and I met a suitable band.” Shota Yoshioka echoed.
At the end of the song, the MAKE-UP band, which gradually adapted, performed better and better.
Several people in the recording studio also began to praise.
The five members of the MAKE-UP band who auditioned inside could not hear the sound outside.
But Yoshiaki Takeshita, the manager who stayed outside, after hearing a sentence of compliments, thought that they were rejected again and again, and they had to collect money for the phone calls when they were poor.
She couldn’t help but clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with tears.
Success is getting closer and closer to them.
Finally, the performance in the recording room stopped and the singing disappeared.
The MAKE-UP band came out of it, although they only performed one song, they were already covered in sweat.
Because this time, they tried their best.
Everyone looked at Hideki Hanyu, because everyone understood, no matter how optimistic they were.
Only Hideki Hanyu can decide the fate of this band.
Hanyu Hideki, who had been silent all this time, touched his chin, and said something that everyone didn’t expect, “It seems that I feel a little bit worse.”
“What? This doesn’t work.” Ito Shinsuke was a little unconvinced.
“President Hanyu, I actually think they sing well.”
Facing the big boss Hanyu Hideki, Tomoyo Kawauchi mustered up the courage to argue for the MAKE-UP band.
Hanyu Hideki heard what the two said, and seeing the other people wanting to talk, he knew that everyone had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly explained.
“They’re doing well, I just think there’s something about it.”
After finishing speaking, he said to the five members of the MAKE-UP band with nervous expressions, “Can I trouble you to sing it again?”
Although it was a bit tiring to sing a song just now, for the band, if they couldn’t hold on to singing twice, what qualifications did they have to make their debut.
So Nobuo Yamada immediately nodded and said, “No problem.”
“Yamada-san, please call Saint Seiya (Saint Seiya) at the beginning of the prelude.”
Hanyu Hideki instructed.
Although the request to Hideki Hanyu was a bit strange, Nobuo Yamada agreed, “Okay.”
“Remember, shouting should be full of fighting spirit and passion.” Hideki Hanyu emphasized again.
“Ok.”
Hideki Hanyu is a songwriter and may be the future boss, so Nobuo Yamada can only follow suit.
The five members of the band returned to the recording room. In order to find the feeling of fighting spirit and passion that Hideki Hanyu said, Yamada tried to shout twice before starting to sing.
It wasn’t until I found the feeling that I signaled to my teammates and started singing.
But this time, after the front playing sounded, Yamada Nobuo shouted “Saint Seiya!”
Hideki Hanyu immediately waved his fist excitedly, “This is what I want!”
After speaking, he looked at Tomoka Kawauchi next to him, “Director Kawauchi, the title of the TV animation, please be sure to keep this cry.”
Kawauchi Tomoka nodded ignorantly, completely unable to understand the brain circuit of her big boss.
She couldn’t figure it out, except for a ‘Saint Seiya’, there seemed to be no difference between this singing and the previous one.
As if seeing Tomoka Kawauchi’s doubts, Hideki Hanyu said with a smile.
“Supervisor Kawauchi, this is the feeling of burning youth.”
“Oh.”
Kawauchi Tomoka nodded blankly.
She is almost 30 years old, and she may really not understand what it feels like to be a 20-year-old boss’s youthful burning.
At the end of the singing, the five members of the band came out again.
They looked at Hideki Hanyu, waiting for the final decision.
Hanyu Hideki didn’t say anything to misunderstand everyone this time,
He walked directly in front of Nobuo Yamada, “Your singing is very good, I wonder if you are interested in joining Yunshang Music.”
“President Hanyu, you can sign the contract, but I want to make one condition.”
Even though Nobuo Yamada knew it was presumptuous, he still gritted his teeth and said it.
As soon as Nobuo Yamada said the words, Takeshita Yoshiaki next to him immediately guessed what he was going to say, and couldn’t help but whispered.
“Silly boy, don’t talk nonsense, agree to sign the contract quickly.”
But Nobuo Yamada didn’t care at all, and said directly, “That is, please let Takeshita-san continue to be our agent.”
Hanyu Hideki thought that the other party was going to say some strange conditions.
After all, it’s normal for a rock band to have some strange hobbies.
But he didn’t expect that Nobuo Yamada would say such a condition of “sentiment and righteousness”.
He suddenly remembered that the reports about this Nobuo Yamada in later generations seemed to be a good man who liked children and took care of his family.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of label doesn’t fit well with the lead singer of a hardcore rock band.
But that’s okay, this kind of good man who takes care of his family is at least better than those guys whose private life is chaotic.
As for signing the band and recruiting an additional agent, it was a trivial matter for him.
“I agree, you are welcome to join Cloud Music.”
Hanyu Hideki clenched his fist and raised his forearm as he spoke.
When Nobuo Yamada heard Hideki Hanyu’s words, he was so happy that his mind went blank, and he instinctively imitated Hideki Hanyu and raised his arm.
Hideki Hanyu smiled and stretched out his arm, bumping into Nobuo Yamada’s arm.
“I don’t know how rock bands say hello, but I think it’s cool. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Thank you…thank you, this…that’s good.”
Seeing Hideki Hanyu’s sunny and kind smile, Nobuo Yamada spoke incoherently.
Since the formation of the band, countless cold eyes and ridicules disappeared in this smile.
……
After the audition is over, other people will naturally be in charge of MAKE-UP’s signing.
Seeing Nagato Taiyuki’s excited face, there is no need for Hanyu Hideki to worry about the record production in the future.
After Hanyu Hideki left the recording studio, he took Ito Shinsuke back to the office.
As soon as the two sat down, he was not in a hurry to talk about the purpose of finding Ito Shinsuke, but asked about other things first.
“Is Kurokawa’s travel editing finished yet?”
“Not yet, it will probably be in the next year.” Ito Shinsuke replied.
“Is Asako-san sure about his punishment?” Hideki Hanyu asked.
“It’s confirmed. It’s indefinitely banned from directing, not only movies, but also advertisements. It’s not allowed to participate in the filming of any project.”
Nobusuke Ito sighed at this point, “When the editing is over, let him go to the post-production department to draw posters first.”
“Asako-san has shown mercy.”
Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, if he hadn’t said to leave some room.
According to Hirohashi Asako’s character, Kurokawa Oki has only one ending of being banned.
You must know that Kurokawa Oki signed an extremely strict contract with Yunying Pictures.
Even if the contract ends, as long as Yun Shang Pictures doesn’t nod, other companies won’t be able to take people away.
If Yun Shang Pictures wants to block Kurokawa Ohki, there is no need to resort to other means. The contract alone can make Kurokawa Ohki disappear in this industry.
“Actually, it’s tens of millions of yen overspend.”
Ito Shinsuke also wanted to defend his apprentice.
“Tens of millions? Please go to Asako-san and see if she will scold you.”
Hanyu Hideki had an expression of you not knowing what to do.
“I dare not, don’t you want Hanyu-san to go to Asako-san to intercede?”
Ito Shinsuke put on a pitiful expression.
Hideki Hanyu saw Ito Shinsuke’s face resembling Mori Kogoro’s, showing the expression of a cute girl, and felt a chill all over his body.
“Stop! Ito-san, a big man, don’t make such an expression, it’s almost the same as your girlfriend Nana-chan.”
“Don’t even think about it.”
The last time Hideki Hanyu appeared on a white horse in a variety show, Okada Nana stared straight at him. He didn’t want to eat Hideki Hanyu’s flying vinegar anymore.
“Okay, no kidding, Ito-san didn’t dare to go to Asako-san, if you think I dare to go.”
Hideki Hanyu made it clear, don’t ask me for pleading.
In fact, he also knows that he has always been “merciful and soft-hearted” in his work.
So from the very beginning, Hirohashi Asako was responsible for the management of the club.
The same is true for Yunshang Culture. Apart from specific projects, Eri Kitahara is also responsible for the daily operation and management.
The last time he went to Hokkaido to find someone, he followed Kurokawa Ryo for two days, and was taught by Hirohashi Asako when he came back.
It is enough to make this kind of mistake once, and he doesn’t want to scold him again.
“Let’s not talk about Kurokawa, I just thought of a script and I want you to read it.”
As Hanyu Hideki said, he took out a script from his backpack.
This is what he worked out all day and night after hiding at home after the Shiseido reception.
I was late just now because I stayed up late yesterday to write the script too late.
“Summer? Summer?” Ito Shinsuke took the script and read out the name.
“Just a tentative name.”
Hideki Hanyu’s script is exactly the “Summer of Kikujiro” that came to mind when he was chatting with Asako Hirohashi and thinking of Takeshi Kitano.
This film is a film written, directed and acted by Takeshi Kitano in 1999.
The story is very simple. It tells the wonderful journey of Masao, a little boy who lives with his grandma during the summer vacation, looking for his mother accompanied by the uncle Kikujiro.
It’s a simple movie, but it’s witty and tender, and it tells the story of growing up with heart.
After watching this movie, people will cry while laughing.
Definitely a great movie.
There are many reports in later generations that this movie is the autobiography of Takeshi Kitano.
In fact, Takeshi Kitano himself said that he had never done such a thing, but he, like Masao in the story, was in a single-parent family.
The filming was just to commemorate his adoptive father, Kikujiro, and express a story of understanding with his adoptive father.
“Why does the protagonist have no name, and the child is called Masao? Are you planning to cooperate with that child Masato Sakai again?”
After reading the script, Nobusuke Ito found that the gangster actor in the script was replaced by letters throughout.
But before Hideki Hanyu could reply, Nobusuke Ito couldn’t help but praise again.
“It’s really an excellent script. Hanyu-san is really good at writing this kind of story about growing up.”
“Don’t praise me, I plan to continue to cooperate with Masato Saki. As for why the male lead doesn’t have a name, I want to ask for the actor’s opinion.”
Nobusuke Ito was surprised by Hideki Hanyu’s words, “The actor? Hideki Hanyu has already figured out who to play?”
“Does Ito-san know about Takeshi Kitano?” Hideki Hanyu asked.
“I don’t know.” Ito Shinsuke looked blank.
Only then did Hideki Hanyu recall that Takeshi Kitano was just a comedian at this time, known for his manga performances.
Although he has already started to participate in film performances, they are all not good roles.
To really make its mark on the big screen, we have to wait for next year’s “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”
Nobusuke Ito doesn’t care about funny shows on weekdays, and he doesn’t know that Takeshi Kitano is normal.
“Takeshi Kitano has a program on Fuji TV, you can ask there, let him read the script first, and discuss the schedule.”
“Okay.” Ito Shinsuke put away the script.
“By the way, remember to contact Masato Saki, this movie will definitely start shooting during the summer vacation.”
“Where is the candidate for the supervisor? Has Hanyu-san considered it?”
“I don’t have any good candidates yet, so let’s contact the actors first.”
Hanyu Hideki wanted Takeshi Kitano to be the supervisor.
But the problem is that he doesn’t know whether the current Takeshi Kitano has the ability to supervise.
However, he planned to ask Kitano Takeshi what he thought of the movie after Ito Shinsuke got in touch.
If the idea is good, let Takeshi Kitano do it directly, at worst, arrange an executive supervisor to help.
Directing a movie is difficult and difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say it is not difficult.
I have never seen that in later generations, no matter what ghosts and monsters can be directors in China.
After talking about the movie with Nobusuke Ito, Hideki Hanyu went to the screenwriting department of Yunying Pictures.
He handed over the outline of the story of the sassy girlfriend who didn’t have time to do it to the head of the screenwriting department, and asked the screenwriting department to help expand it.
After finishing these, he left Yun Shang Painting and went to Shinagawa District.
But his trip is not to go to Yunshang Culture.
Yunshang Pictures in December was quite busy, but Hanyu Hideki didn’t need to worry too much about Yunshang Culture.
Regarding the revision of the original game magazine to “Game Base”, readers have no opinion. Although the sales volume has fluctuated, it has finally stabilized. Takita Koji and Kitahara Eri are very happy.
As for the newly established weekly manga magazine “Spirit Cute”, only one issue has been released, and the readers are basically diverted from the original game magazine, so it is impossible to judge the future development for the time being.
The game development and hardware development work of several studios is also progressing steadily, and there were basically no results seen a year ago.
Hanyu Hideki has explained everything that needs to be explained, and there is no need to go over and stare at it at any time.
Therefore, he came to Shinagawa District this time not for Yunshang Culture, but because Mrs. Tanaka invited him.
“Hanyu-kun, long time no see!”
As soon as he entered Tanaka’s house, Hanyu Hideki received a warm hug from Yukio Tanaka.
“It’s just that I didn’t see Yukio-san. Last week, I was at the Tanaka Garment Factory in Ota City, giving a lecture to the sales staff of Uniqlo.”
Hideki Hanyu pretended to be reminiscing on purpose, “I seem to remember that Yukio-san said before that he was going to attend lectures with the staff.”
“Is there? Why don’t I remember?” Yukio Tanaka pretended to be at a loss.
“That is not.” Hanyu Hideki shrugged.
“Okay, actually I dated a very beautiful girl that day, next time I will definitely go to class.”
Tanaka Yukio explained without shame.
“Hey, Mrs. Tanaka arranged a blind date for Yukio-san again?”
Speaking of blind date, Hideki Hanyu unconsciously thought of Haruko Naito from the day before yesterday.
The loli face and Yujie’s figure are really hard not to remember.
“That’s not it, it’s a beautiful woman I met when I took the vitality girl to run a promotion.” Yukio Tanaka explained.
“When did that happen? Are you an entertainer in the entertainment world?” Hanyu Hideki asked curiously.
“Yes, but I can’t tell Hanyu-san for now, I will give you a surprise later.”
Tanaka Yukio looked mysterious.
“Well, I’m really looking forward to Yukio-san’s surprise.”
Hideki Hanyu spoke of looking forward to it, but his expression showed no sign of looking forward to it at all.
How could a vagabond like Tanaka Yukio easily settle down for a woman.
Besides, even if Yukio Tanaka agrees, it is impossible for Mrs. Tanaka to let a female artist enter the door of Tanaka’s house.
In Neon, let alone those chaebols, nobles, or political families.
Even for a rich family with a little background, it is difficult for their offspring to marry a female artist.
“Hanyu-kun and I should go to see mother, she is waiting for you in the main hall.”
Tanaka Yukio asked Hanyu Hideki with some strange words.
“Is something serious going on? Mother is dressed quite formally today, and she has to meet Hanyu-kun in the main hall. Mother hasn’t received guests there for a long time.”
“How do I know, Yukio-san informed me this morning.” Hanyu Hideki was also confused.
“Well, anyway, you’ll know when you see it.”
After Tanaka Yukio finished speaking, he took Hanyu Hideki and walked towards the main hall of Tanaka’s house.
After coming to the main hall of Tanaka’s house, Hanyu Hideki saw Mrs. Tanaka in a grand kimono, kneeling and sitting in the center of the room.
“Hanyu-san, please sit down.”
Seeing Hanyu Hideki arriving, Mrs. Tanaka pointed to a futon in front of her and said.
Although I don’t like the posture of kneeling and sitting very much, I can’t sit without sitting on this occasion.
Moreover, Mrs. Tanaka’s expression looked so serious, she always felt that there was something important to say.
Seeing that his mother didn’t drive him away, Yukio Tanaka found a seat next to him and sat down next to him, watching curiously what his mother was going to say to Hideki Hanyu.
“Mrs. Tanaka, I don’t know why you came to me this time.”
Hideki Hanyu asked curiously after sitting down.
But what Hanyu Hideki didn’t expect was that after he finished speaking, Mrs. Tanaka leaned over and gave him a big gift.
“Hanyu-san, I’m very sorry.”
Mrs. Tanaka’s apology and her exaggerated apology not only frightened Hanyu Hideki, but also made Tanaka Yukio a little confused.
Fortunately, Hideki Hanyu reacted quickly, and quickly got up and stepped forward to help Mrs. Tanaka up.
“Ms. Tanaka, what are you doing?”
“Mother, just tell me directly, Hanyu-kun is not an outsider.”
Yukio Tanaka also came up to help his mother at this time.
Mrs. Tanaka withdrew her arm from the support of the two, then took out two things from her sleeve, and handed them to Hanyu Hideki.
Hanyu Hideki looked at those two things.
A black credit card and a letter signed by Hitomi Kuroki.
“I’m sorry.” Mrs. Tanaka felt that it was her talkativeness that caused all this.
Hanyu Hideki took the card from Mrs. Tanaka, but did not touch the letter.
He sighed, “Actually, I’m the one who should say sorry.”
Recalling that day, even though he could find thousands of excuses for himself, he knew in his heart that it was only because he didn’t have the courage to bear the affection.
After finishing speaking, Hideki Hanyu walked out of the room, and suddenly looked back at Yukio Tanaka.
“Xingxiong-san, how about going for a drink with me?”
“At this time?”
Yukio Tanaka looked at his mother, then at Hideki Hanyu, and probably guessed what happened.
“Go.” Mrs. Tanaka spoke.
“Ok.”
Yukio Tanaka left with Hideki Hanyu.
“Yukio-san, where are we going?”
Outside Tanaka’s house, Hideki Hanyu’s eyes were a little lost.
Yukio Tanaka thought, you called me out, but you asked where I was going.
But seeing Hideki Hanyu’s appearance, he could only say, “It’s the old place, I haven’t been there for a while.”
“Let’s go then.”
On the way to the destination, Yukio Tanaka glanced at the silent Hanyu Hideki and said deliberately.
“My mother always said that I was a fool, always looking for women who have no feelings. Now it seems that people who are emotional are stupid.”
Hanyu Hideki gave a wry smile after hearing this.
“Yeah, some people are that stupid.”
Immediately afterwards, he spoke to himself in an inaudible voice.
“I will not do it again……”
……
Drawing on the cloud, Takeshi Kitano looked curiously at Hideki Hanyu who had just entered the office.
The first impression is that he looks very handsome. According to Takeshi Kitano’s aesthetics, he didn’t like this type of man.
But the other party is tall, tall and straight, walking confidently and powerfully, without any trace of femininity, which makes it hard for Takeshi Kitano to hate.
The key is that kind of gentle temperament, Takeshi Kitano feels that he can’t even act with his image.
Of course Takeshi Kitano had heard of Hideki Hanyu’s name.
Especially recently, Hideki Hanyu, who had kept a low profile for a long time, suddenly occupied the news for several days in a row.
First, the most influential literary award of Neon, among the nominations announced by the Naoki Award, Hideki Hanyu was nominated for “Love, Go Home”.
The 20-year-old Hideki Hanyu directly broke the record for the youngest nomination for the Naoki Award created by the 1940-year-old writer Chiyo Tsutsumi in 22.
And when everyone praised Hideki Hanyu one after another, Entertainment Weekly “friday” immediately broke the news about Hideki Hanyu.
“Friday” broke the news that in the past week, Hideki Hanyu had dates with two different beauties.
And according to the breaking news style of “Friday”, they don’t just write short stories, but directly show a lot of photos to prove it.
Hideki Hanyu did not shy away from having dinner with his date.
Go shopping in Ginza and buy things for your date.
For a while, Hanyu Hideki’s reputation as a romantic talent, which had been silent for a while, was brought up for heated discussion by the media.
And with Neon’s most influential literary award, the Naoki Award is nominated first, and the name of the talented person behind Hideki Hanyu’s Merry, sits even more solidly.
However, when interviewed by the media, Hanyu Hideki denied the scandal, saying that they were just ordinary friends.
As a man, Takeshi Kitano didn’t believe a word of Hideki Hanyu’s answer.
One of the reasons for not believing it was that Hideki Hanyu, who appeared in front of him at this moment, was being held by a beautiful woman’s arm.
And this beauty is the second of Hanyu Hideki’s two dates in the scandal report.
The most important thing is that this beauty, Takeshi Kitano, knows her.
The other party was an anchor who had just joined Fuji TV.
Graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts. Not to mention pretty, she has a good figure.
When Takeshi Kitano was recording a program on Fuji TV, he chatted with his partner Akashi’s saury about this beauty.
Of course, there is no lack of guessing, which man in Fuji TV will fall into the hands of this beautiful anchor.
Unexpectedly, it would be Hideki Hanyu.
No wonder, handsome, young and rich, he is still an elegant and talented person who can be nominated for the Naoki Award.
Assuming that he is a woman, I guess…, I guess it will scare Hanyu Hideki away.
Takeshi Kitano looked at Hideki Hanyu, and Hideki Hanyu who walked in the door also looked at Takeshi Kitano.
It looks almost the same as in memory, but much younger.
The most important thing is the temperament of that old ruffian, which is very familiar.
Thinking about talking to Takeshi Kitano later, he patted the hand hooking his arm, “Go and wait for me outside.”
“I……”
The woman wanted to act like a baby, but after seeing Hideki Hanyu’s frown, she obediently went out.
After the woman went out, Shinsuke Ito, who was sitting with Takeshi Kitano, got up and said.
“Since Hanyu-san is here, I will leave the rest to you. I still have things to deal with.”
After finishing speaking, this guy raised his eyebrows at Hideki Hanyu, and the direction was in the direction of the female anchor of Fuji TV outside the door.
When passing by Hanyu Hideki, he whispered something.
“Hanyu-san looks like a man.”
Ignoring Nobusuke Ito, who was restless after having a girlfriend, Hideki Hanyu walked towards Takeshi Kitano.
“Kitano-san, nice to meet you.”
“Mr. Hanyu, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me.”
Putting aside those lace news, Takeshi Kitano still respects cultural people like Hideki Hanyu.
“Have Kitano-san read the script?” Hideki Hanyu sat down and got straight to the point.
“Supervisor Ito has shown it to me.”
“How does Kitano-san feel?”
“I love the characters in it.”
“This time I met Kitano-san in person, just to hear what Kitano-san, who is the main actor, thinks about the script.”
Takeshi Kitano is not that kind of petty personality, Hideki Hanyu asked him to say it, and he said it unceremoniously.
Not only did he talk about his views on the story, his views on the characters, and the interest in speaking came, but he also performed a live performance.
Even at the end, some ideas were put forward for the shooting, and some different views were expressed for the story.
Hanyu Hideki didn’t speak, just quietly waiting for General Kitano to express his thoughts one by one.
Although some parts sound immature, such seriousness proves that Takeshi Kitano read the script very seriously and did sufficient research.
After a while, Takeshi Kitano, who finally finished speaking his thoughts, patted his head in embarrassment when he saw Hideki Hanyu’s patient and serious look.
“I’m sorry, but I really like this story. Like the boy in the story, I grew up in a single-parent family, and the character I play is also very similar to my adoptive father.”
“It’s okay, I’m glad this story was approved by Kitano-san.”
“President Hanyu, do you know if I can make a request?”
“Kitano-san, please tell me.”
“The character I play in the script doesn’t have a name yet. I don’t know if it can be named after my adoptive father. His name is Kikujiro.”
“Kikujiro?”
Hanyu Hideki recited softly, feeling an invisible force fiddled with things on the original track.
Takeshi Kitano thought that Hideki Hanyu was not happy, so he said apologetically.
“President Hanyu, I took the liberty.”
“I didn’t mean that. The name Kikujiro is very suitable. I was just thinking that the name of the movie can also be changed to Kikujiro’s Summer. What does Kitano-san think?”
“Kikujiro’s summer sounds very interesting.”
“Kitano-san, since you made a request to me, I also want to make a request to Kitano-san.”
Takeshi Kitano sat up straight and said, “President Hanyu, please speak.”
“Since Kitano-san likes this story so much, and has a lot of ideas about this story, how about Kitano-san personally supervise this movie.”
“Me!?” Kitano-san was stunned by Hanyu Hideki’s words.
Hanyu Hideki nodded, “That’s right, doesn’t Kitano-san want you to present this story yourself?”
“I…I would love to, but I have no experience directing films.”
“Kitano-san has filmed several films, and he should be familiar with film shooting. As for the specific work, I can arrange an executive supervisor for Kitano-san to help Kitano-san complete the movie.”
Seeing Takeshi Kitano’s expression of disbelief, Hideki Hanyu said again.
“Kitano-san doesn’t need to answer me right away, think about it carefully, I’ll wait for Kitano-san’s reply.”
