Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 867
Shinichi Iwahashi visited the small and exquisite restaurant in Aoyama for the second time.He didn't have the feeling of familiarity, but he was Juchi Momoko's aunt, and she seemed to entertain regular customers.

However, it was not so much because he came to the store for the second time, but because he knew that he was Kikuchi Momoko's customer.

Just now, Yanqiao Shen called back the pager, and it was Kikuchi Momoko on the other end of the phone.Suddenly receiving her call, Yanqiao Shenyi was a little puzzled, wondering what it was about.

Kikuchi Momoko got straight to the point, and said heartily, "Congratulations on the successful start of the program you planned."

Iwahashi Shinichi reacted.

She explained herself, "I saw Iwahashi-san's name in the cast and crew list at the end of the show." Kikuchi Momoko said with a smile, "I think...the 'Iwahashi Shinichi-san' in the industry, except you, There will be no second place."

Yanqiao Shinichi made this sentence amused, "It sounds amazing when you say that."

Kikuchi Momoko smiled, "That may not be the case." She bluntly expressed her admiration for Iwahashi Shinichi, but it made him a little difficult to answer.

"It's true that there are not many people with the surname Yanqiao." Shen Yanqiao was half modest.

Kikuchi Momoko asked him if he was in Tokyo now.When I asked, I was a little embarrassed to have heard about him, and explained: "If it's convenient for you, I would like to invite you to dinner. ... And, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Yanqiao Shenben planned to find a place to have dinner, and when he received the invitation, he had nothing to do, so he agreed.Kikuchi Momoko agreed with him and went to the restaurant opened by her aunt.

Before hanging up the phone, Kikuchi Momoko was worried that Iwahashi Shinichi could not find the location, and asked him if he needed a map.Now, the two are sitting facing each other.Kikuchi Momoko joked with Iwahashi Shinichi, "Just now I underestimated your memory."

Yanqiao Shinichi answered her seriously, "The location of this store is not hard to find."

Receiving such a response, Kikuchi Momoko smiled and stopped talking.

Yanqiao Shinichi asked her, "Kikuchi-san was on the phone just now and said there was something wrong."

Kikuchi Momoko picked up the menu and handed it to Iwahashi Shinichi, but said, "The store just released special dishes."

Yanqiao Shen took the menu without opening it, put it at hand, and accepted her recommendation, "Then try the special dishes in the store."

The recommendation was successful, Kikuchi Momoko looked quite satisfied, and discussed with him again, "Would you like something to drink, Yanqiao-san?"

"Don't drink anything." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I still have work tonight. Go to the recording studio."

Kikuchi Momoko nodded slightly to express her understanding.

The waiter brought water, and she got up from her seat, "Excuse me a little bit, Yanqiao-san."

……

After a while, Kikuchi Momoko came back.

She talked to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I originally wanted to watch the show starring Shizuka-chan, because it sounds very interesting. I didn't expect to see Iwahashi-san's name in the list of cast and crew at the end of the show."

After she finished speaking, she waited for a while.Blinking, "I thought Iwahashi-san would ask me about my viewing experience."

Yanqiao Shinichi shook his head, "Kikuchi-san will definitely say good things."

Kikuchi Momoko was amused, "Even so, it's because there are good things to say..." She realized that this kind of communication was obviously too polite, so she changed her mind and said that she will star in NTV's drama this summer.

"Ten o'clock on Wednesday night." Kikuchi Momoko told him that she was playing "Second Shot".

The so-called second only to the leading role.In view of the fact that Japanese TV dramas are centered on the leading role, no matter whether the ratings are good or bad, the leading role is credited and the leading role is blamed. This second-hander who is second only to the leading role has no shortage of exposure when he becomes popular, and he does not have to bear responsibility if he pounces.

For Kikuchi Momoko, who has just changed the agency for half a year and has turned from an idol to an actor, it is a good job.Of course, it was also Yanyin who worked hard behind.After moving to Yanyin last year, except for the period of acting training and the time when she had to manage up and down when she just moved, Kikuchi Momoko has never been idle, and she has appeared in TV dramas every season.

After the second play in the summer file, if there are no accidents, in the winter file, Yanyin will be able to win the leading role in the TV series for her.

When signing Kikuchi Momoko, what Yanyin wanted was to promote her to the position of a well-known actress, or to help bring in a newcomer every season. For this reason, she was cultivated as the main actor of the agency.

"The theme song of the TV series seems to be sung by Akina-san." Momoko Kikuchi told him.

Yanqiao Shinichi let out an "oh", guessing in his heart that Yanyin must have sponsored the TV series.As soon as he was distracted, he heard Kikuchi Momoko say, "Akina-san is a senior from the same firm."

There was a bit of a joke in her tone, "Mina-san doesn't seem to have much interest in participating in TV dramas, and I'm not allowed to sing anymore."

Such a wonderful pair of "partners" from the same firm.

"Iwahashi-san is a music producer and producer of variety shows." Kikuchi Momoko told him, "Since I no longer sing, I have no chance to invite Iwahashi-san to make music."

She blinked mischievously, "However, you are welcome to invite me to the variety show produced by Yanqiao-san."

"A tricky show?" Yanqiao Shenyi recalled the topic just now.

Kikuchi Momoko nodded, "For example." She was confident that she would join the program with a tricky idea, "The tricky part is, 'If the chef of the restaurant is Kikuchi Momoko...'"

Having said that, she closed her mouth and blinked her charming double eyelids as if they could speak.

Yanqiao Shenyi came back to his senses, looked at the plate in front of him, and then turned his eyes to her face, "You prepared it?"

Kikuchi Momoko kept laughing and nodded, "How is it?"

"If it's a prank show, I was played around by you." Yanqiao Shenyi also began to find it funny when he thought about the "special dishes" after entering the door, and Kikuchi Momoko got up and left the table during this period.

Looking at it like this, probably calling at the beginning to say "I have something to say" is also one of the tricky links.

The producer who planned the tricky show was tricked by others.Yanqiao Shinichi had a wonderful feeling of retribution——

Just treat it as a reward for teasing others.

Kikuchi Momoko asked him, "Is the taste of the food to your liking?"

"I think so." Shinichi Iwahashi answered her, "It's actually Kikuchi-san who didn't eat it at all, not the chef in the store."

It seems that I really like cooking.

"After all, the person who can even cook kaiseki."

Bringing up the old story again, Momoko Kikuchi chuckled and told him, "I invited my friends Yoko Oginome and Hiroko Moriguchi for the kaiseki I made last time."

"Although I am a novice making it for the first time, Yoko-chan and Hiroko-chan are very gentle and gave good comments."

Kikuchi Momoko narrowed her eyes slightly, "After all, I am a little confident in my cooking skills, so I have the cheek to try to play tricks on Iwahashi-san."

"Anyway, thank you for your hospitality."

Yanqiao Shinichi said, "There is nothing to say about the level of cooking skills."

Kikuchi Momoko showed an embarrassed expression, "It's fine if you don't mind me doing this."

"It's a different matter if it's a strange meal." Iwahashi Shin smiled, "But it's this level of food, no matter how you think about it, you don't mind the reason to blame."

Yanqiao Shin put aside the matter of being teased, "Kikuchi-san is worried."

but……

Yanqiao Shenyi asked her, "I mentioned on the phone before, if you have something to say, is it also to tease people?"

Kikuchi Momoko nodded, then shook her head again.

After a while, he replied: "I also want to tell Iwahashi-san about starring in a TV series. Because it is the first time as a second-hander, I am actually a little nervous, and I am worried that it will delay my progress."

"You can just take it easy." Yanqiao Shinichi encouraged her, "Thinking about things that haven't happened yet doesn't make sense."

"Of course," he turned around, "Even if the situation is imminent and it really drags you down, you can only bite the bullet and get things done."

Yanyin wants to promote Kikuchi Momoko as the signature actress of the firm, and spends a lot of resources. Naturally, he also expects to have a lot of harvest.

As soon as she moved her nationality, she experienced what it was like to become the number one force in the firm, and Kikuchi Momoko was also a little apprehensive.

However, in the end, he is not the kind of person who can't stand the pressure.Otherwise, it would be impossible to part ways with the original firm, give up singing, and completely transform into an actor.

Talking to Iwahashi Shinichi is not to get encouragement and comfort from him.Rather, she wanted to hear such words of encouragement from the man who had extended a helping hand to her.

After the plate was removed, Kikuchi Momoko expressed embarrassment to Yanqiao Shinichi again, "First I made fun of you, and then I sent you a bunch of complaints..."

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't take it seriously, "But thanks to Kikuchi-san's hospitality, I had a delicious meal."

"That's what it says."

Kikuchi Momoko raised her eyelids and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "To apologize to you, I will treat you to dinner again next time, is that okay?"

Yanqiao Shinichi felt exaggerated, "It's not something that needs to be apologized..."

As he said that, Kikuchi Momoko's face showed a little embarrassment of being rejected.Yanqiao Shenyi stopped talking, "If you have another ordinary meal, it will not be a problem."

Kikuchi Momoko's face cleared up again.Just as he was about to say something, Shinichi Iwahashi continued, "Just take it as a thank you to Kikuchi-san for cooking this time, and let me return the invitation."

He calculated the accounts clearly, as if he wanted to push people away.

The enthusiasm in Kikuchi Momoko's heart cooled a little, she nodded, "If Iwahashi-san comes back, please..." She smiled innocently, "Please come and set a time."

This demeanor seemed to be left to Yanqiao Shinichi to decide, not the time of the next meal, but some other important matter.However, if Iwahashi Shinichi was responsible for setting the time and place, Iwahashi Shinichi had to take the initiative to contact her.

……

But on the other hand, whoever is in charge of setting the time and place will take the initiative to decide when and how to contact.

Yanqiao Shinichi made an appointment for the recording at seven o'clock, and he did not expect to be invited to dinner by Kikuchi Momoko beforehand, and even asked her to "trick" her for a while.

Once the time is delayed, it will be too early.

After agreeing to invite her to dinner next time, Yanqiao Shenyi left.When he went out, he had expected that there would be a rush hour when he went to the recording studio, so he didn't even drive.

I took a taxi when I went to Aoyama for an appointment, and now, I changed to a luxury car worth billions of yen——

Although it didn't get stuck on the road for a long time, it was squeezed into a good-looking sardine in the carriage.

Even though he had planned not to drive, he was still held back by this sudden meal. By the time he left the station and walked to the recording studio, it was fifteen or sixteen minutes past seven o'clock.

When Shinichi Iwahashi arrived, Akina Nakamori was already waiting there.

In the first audition of the collaboration album, he successfully unlocked the achievement "Let Tao Pushida Nakamori Akina wait obediently", which seems to be a good sign.

He entered the door and apologized to the people on Nakamori Akina's side and the staff in the recording studio, "Sorry, I was a little late on the road."

Nakamori Akina's manager and assistant all bowed to Shinichi Iwahashi to say hello, "Iwahashi-san."

Iwahashi Shinichi returned the gift, and then said hello to Akina Nakamori.

Coming to record in the evening, Akina Nakamori dressed lightly, with a face that probably only had base makeup on, and loose casual clothes.Dress her up, give her a pillow, and she'll be able to sleep on the couch in the recording studio.

"Yanqiao-san." After greeting her, she straightened up.

The two haven't actually seen each other for a while.It's been a long time, and even though I'm not familiar with each other in private, but now, meeting in the recording studio for work, for a moment, I really feel a little half-baked.

After waiting for fifteen and six minutes, Akina Nakamori looked a little unhappy.After all, it's work, so being late for such a long time, unless you are a good man who doesn't care about anything, it will always be an annoyance to those who are waiting.

Especially, this recording studio where Akina Nakamori arrived early.

The manager Daben was on the side, and he was a little worried that Akina Nakamori lost his temper because Shinichi Iwahashi was late, and he had a subtle mentality. He felt that Akina Nakamori was late for the first recording, which would leave a bad impression on Akina Nakamori. Not bad either.

As an agent, I had some random thoughts in my mind.

However, the latter idea is purely emotional, what the agent has to do is to find a way to smooth things over.

Although it is good to think that Shinichi Iwahashi will leave a bad impression on Akina Nakamori in his heart, but in terms of action, he has to quickly turn the matter around, so as not to let Akina Nakamori really feel dissatisfied with the producer and affect his work...

When Big Ben thought of this, he felt a little subtle.

He came over to smooth things over, "The traffic jam on the road must be serious, Yanqiao-san."

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, and didn't take the step, "I just took the subway because I was worried about the bad road conditions."

He is calm and straightforward.

Da Benbai smoothed things over and felt that he had done too much.Yanqiao Shinichi apologized to Nakamori Akina alone, "I'm sorry, I have something to do at the moment, and it took a while."

Akina Nakamori nodded, "Thanks for your hard work." She put away the displeasure just now, showing businesslike competence, and asked him, "Iwahashi-san, where do we start?"

She smiled, quite decently, "Since you have been delayed for a while, don't waste your time apologizing."

Da Ben listened from the side, although he only made it right once, but for some reason, he felt like he had failed twice.
