"Matsumoto-san is an idol in Group 83 and the champion of "STAR! is born". ”

In the studio, a set similar to a Western-style living room was set up, and before Matsumoto Akiko performed, the host chatted with her. With the stage at its center, the fan-shaped auditorium spreads out and is filled with the audience that has been recruited.

Listening to the host's introduction, Akiko Matsumoto held the rack of an orthodox idol and smiled politely.

After Shinichi Iwahashi came, he watched some RB variety shows.

I don't know if it's because he picked out all these shows, but I always feel that in RB's variety shows, the host always has a little bad intentions, and when he is inadvertent, he stabs a thorn with ill intentions.

This host is no exception.

After the greeting, the tentacles with thorns stretched out, "What's the matter, you." Why didn't it become popular at all? ”

He said this casually in a joking tone.

Then, Akiko Matsumoto was smiling on the sidelines. The camera did its job to record her smiling expression with a little embarrassment.

In the audience, because of this small interaction, I got a different kind of fun. The audience who was invited laughed. The whole studio was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Artists who have never been popular before their debut must be in a worse situation than artists who have always been unknown. Because the former naturally comes with a point that can be attacked and made fun of.

Shin Iwahashi was on the edge of the studio, paying attention to every move in the venue.

As if it was really just an unintentional sentence that came to mind by chance, the topic was revealed, and the conversation began.

If this was said to Matsumoto Akiko in private, her reaction would definitely be more than that, and she would definitely be able to respond beautifully. Looking at Akiko Matsumoto with a smile on her face, Shinichi Iwahashi felt that there was an invisible shackle on her.

After a brief conversation, Akiko Matsumoto stood up and went to get ready for the show.

When an idol stands on the stage, he must have decent clothes, and it is essential to be gorgeous. Because Matsumoto Akiko is not popular, the firm has reduced its investment in her, and the style of her clothes is also a big road color, without any characteristics.

The less popular it is, the less attentive it is, and the less attentive it is, the more difficult it is to improve, which can be called a standard vicious circle.

After the show, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akiko Matsumoto returned to Tokyo overnight.

When she was about to arrive in Tokyo, Matsumoto Akiko suddenly said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Iwahashi-san, can you go back to the office first?"

When Iwahashi heard this, he was relieved and asked, "Shouldn't you be reimbursing the transportation expenses again?"

Akiko Matsumoto smiled, "Bingo, that's right." ”

Watanabe Production's fixed salary to Akiko Matsumoto is 100,000 yen per month, as well as the seniority allowance and job share after joining the company, plus one plus 300,000 yen per month.

At the age of 20, he receives 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a month, which is already the best among his peers, and if he is an ordinary office worker, he will probably not receive 200,000 yuan at the age of 20.

But the 400,000 yuan spent by artists is not the same thing as the 400,000 yuan of office workers. Although the rent is relatively small because of the dormitory, and you don't have to pay for food when you have a job, you can buy clothes, cosmetics, decorations, magazines, and add one to everything, which is barely enough.

When she first joined the company, Akiko Matsumoto only received 100,000 yen a month, so she had to save money in various places, but it never became popular, and this habit has been retained.

When Shinichi Iwahashi asked her what she was good at, Akiko Matsumoto triumphantly told him that her specialty was "thrift".

By the way, another specialty is the piano.

Therefore, after learning that Shinichi Iwahashi had worked as a keyboard player, Akiko Matsumoto felt quite cordial with him because the two of them could find a hundred people in common in the office alone.

As we all know, when filming Japanese dramas, the general process is often to shoot the last two or three episodes as inventory, and then broadcast them while filming. Therefore, the actors and crew are working with the knowledge of the word-of-mouth and ratings of the TV series.

In such a situation, TV series with good ratings, everyone on the set performs their own duties, and the relationship may not be so close.

But on the other hand, the ratings are not good, and the relationship between the actors and the crew on the set may be very good, because they need to share the pressure of hitting the streets.

Where the efficiency is not very high, the human touch is sometimes extraordinarily strong, and it seems that there is such a saying.

That's how Shinichi Iwahashi gets along with Akiko Matsumoto. One lacks visibility, the other lacks experience. Therefore, on the contrary, they can understand each other, and the relationship is also extraordinarily harmonious.

Watanabe Productions reimbursed the transportation expenses for the artist, and the agents who used to bring Matsumoto Akiko were all big agents with qualifications, and she didn't dare to play these little tricks in front of them, but now she changed to a young one, and she exposed her true colors, and began to discuss with him how to take advantage of this loophole.

Saving to this point is already the extent of picking.

However, it is sad enough to think that she is a pure and beautiful love to shake the dew, and she wants to cooperate with her agent to defraud and earn transportation expenses.

teamed up with Akiko Matsumoto to defraud the transportation fee and returned home, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. I go out at 7 o'clock in the morning and go home at 10 o'clock in the evening, although this is not the case every day, but because the recording time of the program is often uncertain, the work and rest time is a mess.

It seems that brokering is also a profession with a high level of sudden death from overwork.

Passing by the adjacent 202, he went upstairs in the faint light, and found that the door number was fixed at the door. Room 202 was empty when Shinichi Iwahashi moved here from the previous one, and I don't know when my new neighbor moved in.

He paused a little and glanced at the name on the door number, the new tenant's surname was "Xintian".

The next day, Matsumoto Akiko only had a TOKYO FM radio program to record in the evening, but Matsumoto Akiko had to do nothing for a day, so he had to go to work in the office and find a job for Matsumoto Akiko.

His diligence and ability determined how long Akiko Matsumoto would have to do nothing.

I was going out at eight o'clock in the morning, and when I got up, Shinichi Iwahashi made himself an omelette, ate breakfast with instant coffee, and just finished washing the dishes, the doorbell rang outside.

Look at the time, half past seven.

The NHK toll collector can't come yet, right? At the first moment, a nonsensical thought popped up in his mind.

If you come to preach early in the morning, the taste is too strong.

Before continuing to diverge, the outside first reported to themselves.

"Iwahashi-san, I'm living next door to you at 202, a newly moved Nitta. "It's a little slender.,Weak scholar-like male voice.。

Iwahashi Shinichi had just set up the stage in his heart, and before he could enjoy the play, the stage was demolished outside the door.

Come on, don't think about it.

He wiped his hands and went to open the door for Nitta outside.
