The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 326 The Child I Pushed (15)

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that the agent's daily life would be like this." In the lounge, Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed to Takaya Chieko, while Inuyama Heita poured tea and water for them.

"Yeah...Actually, being a manager is difficult too." Chieko Takaya complained.

While the three idols were filming outside, Qian Xiaoyi and Chieko Takaya were chatting in the lounge. Qian Xiaoyi pretended to be very interested in the idols' daily lives and took the opportunity to chat with Chieko Takaya.

Because Qian Xiaoyi was the matchmaker for the show, Takatani Chieko answered all questions except for some confidential matters. As they chatted, they gradually talked about other things, such as the history and glory of Starlight Agency.

"Starlight Agency is really amazing." Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed, "It started decades ago and cultivated the first batch of idols in Japan... I have to say that the president of your agency really has a strategic vision. At that time, no one would have thought that the idol industry would become as huge as it is today, right?"

"Yes, President Raishan is a very capable person." Takatani Chieko's eyes showed admiration: "In the industry, everyone calls him the 'Idol Godfather'."

Qian Xiaoyi changed the subject without leaving a trace and asked, "Speaking of Starlight Agency, it seems that there is a very famous logo, right?"

He picked up the fat raccoon mascot doll on the table next to him, pinched his belly, and then asked, "Why did you choose a raccoon as the mascot of the firm? Is there any meaning behind it?"

"Eh? Meaning?" Takaya Chieko thought for a moment and said, "This... doesn't seem to have any special meaning, right? Maybe the president likes raccoon cats, or he simply thinks this image is cute..."

"Was this designed by Mr. Laishan?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "When was it designed?"

Chieko Takaya looked embarrassed: "I don't know about this. It's been a long time, right? Probably more than ten years. Who designed it? No one except the old people in the company has paid attention to it... Maybe it was launched together with a new idol group in the past?"

"Really?" Qian Xiaoyi nodded.

While they were chatting, the three idols were not idle either, they were still busy jumping around on the stage.

The filming will take one to two days in total. Today's shoot is in the studio. The plot is that Suzuna plays the female exorcist who goes to the scene to investigate whether there are any strange phenomena among the crowd, and Kiki plays herself as the idol client who suddenly has hallucinations on the stage and runs away without saying a word.

Soon, the filming on the stage was completed. In order to ensure the quality, Director Tamura filmed several different versions. Although Kiki and the other three said they were not tired, Director Tamura still asked them to rest for a while, fearing that they would be tired, and then continued filming the exorcist's investigation part.

At this time, they had just returned to the lounge and saw Qian Xiaoyi already here chatting happily with their agent, and Qian Xiaoyi's assistant was also beside them, pouring tea for them.

"Have you finished filming? Come over and have a drink of water." Qian Xiaoyi greeted them with a smile: "Although it's just a sitcom, how does it feel to participate in a TV filming for the first time? Do you feel like a star in a movie?"

When the three little idols saw Qian Xiaoyi, a senior in the entertainment industry, here (although he was only a few months early), they became a little reserved. They sat down around the coffee table, took the tea handed to them by Inuyama Heita, and said thank you.

"Well... actually it feels no different from usual..." Qiqi said embarrassedly, "We usually train like this. Just now when I was on stage, I had forgotten that we were filming. If it weren't for the script sign, I would have almost said my own name when I was thanking the audience."

"Then you should be careful when you shoot on location next time." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Although Director Tamura is always smiling, he will actually yell at people if they make a mistake during filming."

"Eh? Is that so?" The three trainee idols were a little nervous, worried that they would make mistakes and get scolded during the filming. This was a rare opportunity. Ajian said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, Brother Yi, don't scare them! They are just children!"

Qian Xiaoyi ignored the fat guy. It seemed like something was wrong with this guy's brain today and he kept staring at him.

He comforted the three of them, "Just follow your own pace and act as naturally as possible. Although I don't have much filming experience, since this is your job, just think about how you will act when you really encounter this situation."

"Yes!" Qiqi's eyes lit up and she bowed, "Thank you Mr. Qian for your advice. We will work hard!"

"Okay, okay, don't be so reserved." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile, "You make me act like a big star. Don't forget, this was my first time on a TV show a few months ago. I don't have as much acting experience as you do. My real job is still an exorcist. I'm just a guest star on this show."

Another trainee idol in a blue skirt heard Qian Xiaoyi's words and asked curiously, "Teacher Qian, are the plots in this story true?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "It's a little bit of artistic exaggeration, such as various dramatic encounters. In the original case, there wasn't so much foreshadowing. I heard that the client at the time found a dead cat directly in his bag."

"Ah!" Qiqi was startled by Qian Xiaoyi's words. She said with a pale face: "Will we encounter such a situation in the future? Crazy fans, curses, evil spirits and the like..."

"That's not true!" Ah Jian patted his chest and shouted, "I will protect you, Qiqi! If any evil spirit wants to attack you, it must get past me first!"

Inuyama Heita looked at him sideways: This level is too easy to pass.

Thinking that such a situation might really happen, Qiqi asked worriedly: "Mr. Qian, if such a thing really happened, what should we do?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "If that kind of thing really happens, the firm will help you solve it."

Takaya Chieko nodded and said, "Yes, that kind of extreme fans' irrational behavior has indeed happened a few times before, but after those lessons, the agency has now arranged more safety measures, so you don't have to worry about that happening again."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "But if you are still worried, I will give each of you an amulet. It can be considered that we are destined to be together."

Takaya Chieko asked happily, "Is it really possible? Mr. Qian? How much?"

In her opinion, regardless of whether these talismans are useful or not, spending some money to establish a relationship with Qian Xiaoyi is a sure-win deal.

"Don't mention money." Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Asking for amulets is a matter of fate. If there is no fate, I will not give amulets to others casually. So, these three amulets, one for each of you, keep them well, and remember to carry them with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian!"
