Chapter 191: Stage Preparation
(Correction of a mistake, the population of Jidong in the previous chapter was corrected to 200 million. Sorry, I'm very confused recently. Last time I heard a professor's lecture, which talked about family planning. I gave a lot of messy data. There is a point that if China can withstand the population according to Japan's ability to withstand the population, China could withstand five times the population now, and it didn't take it seriously at that time. When writing the book, it was written by a god and wrote Jidong to 500 million.)
(Because the VIP chapter cannot be changed, I apologize here. I will calculate the number of words. Apology is not considered subscription consumption.)
In April, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo are becoming more and more brilliant.
Masako Natsukawa is a new female singer who debuted in Kedong. At 8 o'clock in the morning, she began rehearsing for her performance tomorrow night. This performance is crucial to her because it was Masako's first open-air performance.
If she can successfully attract audiences, her future development will be smoother.
"Masako!"
Just as Masako Natsukawa was rehearsing carefully, her agent, Miss Suzuki, walked in from outside with her name calling her, and Suzuki was surrounded by a man in her forties.
"Miss Suzuki, Mr. Fukuyama..."
Masako Natsukawa stopped rehearsal and hurried over to greet him.
She knew this man, the agent of the same company, and the artist in charge of Fukuyama ranked first in the company. Masako didn't understand why even Miss Suzuki had to respectfully call her seniors and appeared here. Did the company feel dissatisfied with her and sent Mr. Fukuyama to scold her?
Masako Natsukawa was a little nervous.
"Masako, Mr. Fukuyama wants to ask us for something." However, Miss Suzuki's words were beyond Masako Natsugawa's expectations. The agent explained with a smile: "You are going to Ueno Park tomorrow night. Mr. Fukuyama wants us to provide him with a stage and piano after the performance. He has a friend who wants to perform on stage."
"No, that child is not my friend, but this is my friend's advice." The man jerked: "I know the request is a bit too much. But Miss Masako, please be sure to agree to this matter!"
He bent down and Masako Natsukawa immediately took a few steps back.
"Mr. Fukuyama, you have to be polite. Of course I will agree." She said nervously. In fact, it was not her turn to make decisions about this kind of thing. Masako Natsukawa knew very well that Fukuyama was just saying politely.
After the man left, Masako Natsukawa breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the agent with doubts: "Miss Suzuki, Mr. Fukuyama has never been able to ask for help. Why did he bow to me today?"
Suzuki chuckled: "He has no choice. Mr. Fukuyama's friend asked to prepare a stage in Tokyo tomorrow night. Mr. Fukuyama searched everywhere and we were the only one left."
"Look everywhere..." Masako Natsukawa opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "What kind of friend is that, is it worthy of Mr. Fukuyama's doing this?"
Suzuki's smile became mysterious: "Have you heard of the witch of Yanjing?"
The witch of Yanjing? Masako Nakagawa was stunned for a few seconds. She had heard of this nickname. She belonged to a very famous agent in the Chinese entertainment industry. It is said that no matter how ordinary an artist is, she can become a popular idol as long as she is packaged. Her name seems to be...
"Miss Alice?"
Masako Natsukawa's eyes lit up: "Mr. Fukuyama actually knows Miss Alice. He is so powerful... No, no, if it were Miss Alice's instructions, why would Mr. Fukuyama not find the stage? There should be many stages to open his arms and open his arms!"
The witch of Yanjing is famous in the entertainment industry. Masako Nakagawa is puzzled, but she soon finds that her agent's face is dimmed.
"Masako, don't you know. Alice has quit the entertainment industry. She even vowed not to come in again, offending a lot of people. Moreover, the request she made is very rude, opening the stage for a cartoonist...who would want to!"
"cartoonist!?"
Masako Natsukawa was stunned. What, the person who wanted to perform on her stage was a cartoonist? No wonder others refused. It was simply a mess. How could a precious stage be provided to an outsider?
"That's right. A cartoonist." Miss Suzuki nodded: "It is said that the cartoonist wanted to record a piano piece. It was okay to record it, but Alice wanted him to perform on the live and record it..."
When she said this, Masako Natsukawa understood. She was a little angry.
"It's so messy. If a cartoonist is a mess, then I'm going to be laughed at by others?" She began to be angry: "I would have disagreed if I had known, and the audience would be scared away by this!"
Tomorrow she will perform in Ueno Park open-air performance. The park has designated a large area for her, and tourists will have to charge a fee when entering.
Although the cost is very low, the amount is also considered income, and the number of audiences determines the company's evaluation of Masako Natsukawa. She is still a newcomer and wants to be as perfect as possible in every performance.
Unfortunately, it's all over now, and a line of words will be added to the flyer tomorrow - the final program: The cartoonist plays piano music on the spot. Visitors will not be interested in listening to music when they see this line of words.
"You don't have to worry about this."
Miss Suzuki comforted Masako Natsukawa: "I brought Mr. Fukuyama and of course I also calculated the audience's affairs. The cartoonist seemed to have some fans in the Jidong District. This is his farewell to Jidong, and someone will come to support him."
"As long as there are dozens of them, we will make a profit." Suzuki smiled and said, "Masako, you have to perform well. As long as you perform well, you can attract fans of the cartoonist together."
"Don't care about the cartoonist. If his performance is bad, it just contrasts your excellence!"
When Masako Nakagawa heard this, she was indeed the case. She had never been on the big stage and had not had a reputation. The scheduled number of audiences to perform this time was 500. If she could exceed this number, she would take advantage of it.
"What's that cartoonist's name?"
She asked curiously.
"He Xi, a local Chinese cartoonist..."
Suzuki said, and Masako Natsukawa had no impression of the name.
She usually only reads clothing and magazines, and knows nothing about comics. Moreover, she has never heard of the name He Xi in the entertainment industry. She is certainly not a very famous pianist, or even a newcomer.
Masako Natsukawa didn't care anymore, she turned around and went into rehearsal again.
At this time, people who knew Alice in the Tokyo entertainment industry were talking about this.
"Alice is back?"
"She was crazy and actually asked us to provide her with a stage and let a cartoonist play the piano!"
"Haha, I used to hear that she left the entertainment industry to be a comic editor, but she didn't believe it at that time, but now I believe it. This is really funny. A witch in Yanjing has actually fallen to this level!"
The entertainment industry generally disdained this matter. When people left, they would not be cared about. If Alice left this industry, she would not be cared about.
However, some media still smelled a different smell. A cartoonist wanted to play the piano?... No matter how you look at it, this is a piece of news that can be tracked, and you may also find unexpected surprises.
