Monday, June 30.

Early in the morning, Lin Hai and Akimi Oshima took the subway to Fuji TV.

Soon after, Utada's father and daughter and Yutaka Tanabe arrived one after another.

"Looks like Hyde is treating you well!"

Lin Hai looked at the Dafa bread that was drifting away, and said to Yutaka Tanabe jokingly.

"Hyde seniors are very nice. ”

Yutaka Tanabe is not good at talking, so he held back for a long time and held back such a sentence.

Lin Hai reminded: "I said, what we are going to participate in today is a music talk show, you can't do this." ”

Lin Hai didn't remind him that it was okay, but after he finished speaking, Yutaka Tanabe became even more nervous.

Seeing this, Lin Hai hurriedly changed his words: "Okay, even if you are not good at expression, there is no problem in terms of talent, right?"

"No problem. ”

Seeing that he instantly became confident, Lin Hai felt a little uneasy, and asked more: "The talent you understand, should it be playing drums?"

"Or else?"

"Alas......"

Lin Hai covered his forehead helplessly, and said: "Talent or something, naturally it's talent other than music......

Hikaru Utada couldn't help but say, "Don't talk about him, what talent do you have?"

"Juggling the ball. Lin Hai raised the football in the net pocket and said proudly: "I am very confident in my footwork, if you juggle the ball, there is absolutely no problem with ten consecutive bumps!"

"What kind of talent is this?"

"It's better than your Tetris, you bring a cube machine, do you expect the cameraman to give it a close-up?"

"Me, I'm just passing the time when I'm bored, can't I?"

The two began to quarrel, Oshima Xiaomei couldn't stand it anymore, turned her face and said to her father: "This stupid guy has been practicing for several days, and now he can't even shake it ten times, and he is embarrassed to come out and be embarrassed......"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Lin Hai protested, "I'm working very hard to develop into a comedy artist!"

Everyone was amused by Lin Hai's serious appearance.

Only Yutaka Tanabe didn't smile, he had a bitter face, and there were words in his mouth.

"Talent, talent ......"

If this kid is left alone, sooner or later he will be stunned.

Lin Hai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, if it really doesn't work, you can beat the drum." ”

"Didn't you say that drumming doesn't count?"

"Then don't beat the drums. ”

Lin Hai looked at his watch and said, "Anyway, I just started recording in the afternoon, and I suddenly had an idea......

Lin Hai said what he thought, and everyone looked weird.

"How about it? Do you want to try it?" Lin Hai encouraged.

"Like, it's fun?"

Hikaru Utada jumped to try.

Yutaka Tanabe nodded in agreement.

Although Akimi Oshima and Daddy Terumi felt that Lin Hai's idea was whimsical, they were quickly persuaded by Lin Hai.

"Do you want to ask for the opinion of the program team first?" asked the honest father.

"NONO," LIN HAI SAID, SHAKING HIS FINGER, "LET'S SAVE THE SURPRISE FOR THE END." ”

"Are you sure it's not a scare?"

Oshima Xiaomei asked uneasily, and then it was not good

said angrily: "Forget it, it's not the first time you've messed around anyway!"

"No, you're wrong. Lin Hai said solemnly: "There are many people in the sky, and only by not taking the ordinary road can we reach heights that are difficult for ordinary people to reach." ”

……

Time is limited, and in order to complete Lin Hai's plan, everyone needs to go their separate ways.

Five people, divided into three groups, Hikaru Utada wanted to act with Lin Hai, but was dragged away by her father.

According to the truth, the eyes of the old man looking at Lin Hai before leaving, which were somewhat chilling.

Lin Hai shook the ice ballast on his face, reminded Oshima Xiaomei again, and the two separated.

As for Yutaka Tanabe, in order to prevent him from getting lost like a certain green algae head, Lin Hai decisively let him stay at the TV station.

……

"Dried bonito...... Well, that's it......"

Lin Hai paid and walked outside the Tsukiji Market with a few dried bonito.

It's like a fool.

In order to buy a few dried fish, he deliberately went to the Tsukiji Market, and Lin Hai couldn't figure out which string he had made the wrong one.

Maybe because you think of fish, you think of Tsukiji Market?

……

Speaking of Tsukiji, in addition to Jodo Shinshu Honganji Temple, which is full of Indian architectural styles, the most famous is Tsukiji Market.

Tsukiji Market is the largest wholesale fresh market in the whole of Japan and the world, and the famous tuna auction is a myth that creates wealth year after year.

It attracts a large number of tourists every year, and it is said that the management is considering restricting tourists because they are too many tourists to get in touch with the fresh seafood.

"I don't know what to do here!"

Lin Hai and the people next to him said in unison.

Lin Hai subconsciously looked at each other and found that it was a beautiful little Lori who had the same idea as him.

Sweatshirt, bib pants, short hair, carrying a red schoolbag on his back, and a pair of unusually smart big eyes on his childish face.

Whether you look at your schoolbag or your face, this is a primary school student.

But...... As an elementary school student, she was a little taller.

Lin Hai visually measured that little Lori is less than 1.55 meters, and many adult women are about this height.

Of course, the most attractive thing is her straight and slender legs, which are not common.

"Do we know each other?"

Lin Hai felt that the other party looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Ah, you're Lin Hai!"

The girl exclaimed, and then glared at Lin Hai with hostility like a kitten that had been robbed of food.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Hai was surprised by the little girl's reaction.

"Huh!

The little girl kicked Lin Hai's calf, and then ran away quickly, shouting as she ran: "Daddy, daddy......"

“？？？”

Lin Hai's mind was full of question marks, and he couldn't figure out what this was at all.

But now is not the time to think about this, Lin Hai doesn't dare to stay longer, in case he is regarded as a pervert by the little girl's parents, it will be a big incident.

……

At half past one in the afternoon, in a recording studio at Fuji TV, the staff was making final preparations.

The upcoming program will be recorded under the name "!" It is a super popular talk music program broadcast by Fuji TV since 1994.

Of course, it's okay to watch it as a comedy show.

The host of HEY3 is the famous funny group DownTown.

In Ben, funny artists and general members and IT presidents have been ridiculed by netizens as the most likely career to win in life.

So, what kind of existence is Ben's funny artist?

Comedy artists are actually a general term, and this group includes comic masters, rakugo, parody artists, and comedians.

Among them, rakugo and manga are two common forms of comedy.

To put it simply, rakugo is similar to domestic stand-up comedy, while mancai is similar to stand-up comedy.

Of course, both are "cross talk" actors, and there is a big difference between the two.

Rakugo is a matter of inheritance, and it is passed down by word of mouth through a master and an apprentice, and the average rakugo apprentice has to go through ten years of hard work before he can grow into a rakugo master. Rakugo performances are mainly classic jokes, about 500 pieces, and modern jokes, although they appear frequently, are rarely preserved as classics.

Mancai is different.

Mancai basically has no teacher, and most of them are cultivated by the training schools under the Comedy Artist Office, such as Yoshimoto, Human Resources Club, Watanabe Performing Arts Office, etc.

From the perspective of the status of the rivers and lakes, the mancai division is lower than the rakugo division, but in the entertainment circle, both are high-end professions.

Yes, the status of funny artists generally surpasses that of singers and actors, and in terms of earning power, the latter is beyond reach.

For example, in 2006, the total value of the comedy industry was as high as 2 trillion yen, almost the same as the high-tech industry. As for the level of high-tech industry, I believe there is no need to say more.

……

The DownTown group comes from Yoshimoto Xingye, which is known as the "Bendeyun Club", and can be called one of the most profitable funny groups, and has a very high status in the entertainment industry.

A brief introduction to the two in the group.

Matsu Benzhi, "teasing", quick temper, flat head.

Hamada Yako, "Praise", slow son, hot head.

……

Matsu Shizhi frowned and looked at his watch, and asked his partner next to him, "What's the matter?

Hamada Masako said with a smile, "It's not time yet." ”

The partner's answer made Song himself feel a little helpless, this partner is good anywhere, but the son is a little slow, and Ge is too optimistic.

As he was talking, a staff member came over to remind him: "When people come, it's ......."

"Don't spit out!" Matsu reprimanded.

"Well, well, don't worry. Masako Hamada started the round.

The staff opened their mouths and found it too difficult to explain, so they said: "They brought a lot of things, it's hard to describe, in short, you just go and see it."

Got it......"

……

Matsumoto and Hamada rushed to the artist's lounge full of curiosity, but as soon as they opened the door, a strong smell of sea came to their faces.

Immediately after, Lin Hai's innocent voice was heard.

"I didn't know it tasted so big. Why don't we wrap it in plastic wrap?"

Lin Hai spread his hands and asked Yutaka Tanabe, "How is it?"

Yutaka Tanabe grabbed two dried bonito with a disgusted face, knocked on the basin on the left, and then knocked on the bucket on the right, and finally said with a bitter face: "It's okay to take advantage of it, but it's ......."

"Ahem!"

Matsu Shizhi coughed and asked with a frown, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Ah, Matsumoto-sensei! Hamada-sensei!"

Hikaru Utada jumped up from the upside-down bucket of cows, rushed to Matsumotoshi, and said, "First time we met, I'm Hikaru Utada, and I like your show very much!"

"Ah, thank you. You're the daughter of Keiko Fuji-sensei......"

"Yes!"

Matsumoto's anger that had just risen, and he was swept away by the energetic Utada Hikatsu, and he looked at the kitchen supplies in the house again, and his mind gradually turned.

"You're a drummer?"

He asked Yutaka Tanabe.

"Yes! Matsumoto-sensei!"

"So, these are 'musical instruments'?"

Matsu asked, pointing to a pile of pots and pans.

"Yes. ”

Lin Hai took the initiative to speak. He smiled and asked Matsumoto, "What does Matsumoto-sensei think?"

"Well, the idea is great, but are you sure?"

"Yes. ”

"I remember telling your agent before that we might talk about football this time. ”

"I'm also prepared for football. ”

Lin Hai took out a soccer ball and said, "But I think the audience might be more interested in 'noise', right?"

"Uh......"

Matsu's chronicles are stuck again.

But he probably followed Lin Hai's train of thought.

This episode of the show, of course, has a certain relationship with the "World Cup", but the reason why Lin Hai, a "singer" who has not yet officially debuted, was invited to rub the degree of "noise turmoil".

In fact, Matsumoto also prepared some tough questions, which are rare in previous shows.

Matsumoto didn't expect Lin Hai to be so "interesting", it seems that he changed his career to become a funny artist, maybe he will be more promising.

Thinking like this, he smiled and said, "It's not okay to make such a mess, I'll ask someone to help you prepare, to be honest, I'm also curious about what kind of performance you can bring......"

……

Soon a staff member received instructions and rushed over to transport the pots and pans away, and Yutaka Tanabe followed.

"I'll go to the bathroom. ”

Lin Hai handed the temporarily revised score to Hikaru Utada and walked out of the lounge with his pocket.

When I walked to the door of the bathroom, I unexpectedly met a person.

This person is none other than Katsuto Matsuura.

Lin Hai pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, why is President Matsuura here?"

"Are you so rude when you see your seniors?"

pine

Pu Shengren asked rhetorically.

"I'm sorry. Lin Hai said sorry, but there was no apology on his face, and he was not in a hurry to go in, so he stood at the door of the bathroom and waited.

After a while, Koda Rai came out of the women's bathroom: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting-"

The words in Koda's mouth came to an abrupt end the moment he saw Lin Hai.

"Why are you here?" Koda's face was unnatural.

"Come and record the show. Lin Hai asked with a smile: "Should you also participate!" Recorded, right?"

It's obvious. Koda is wearing a men's football jersey, and the topic of this episode is precisely related to football.

"You too?"

Koda became more and more nervous and looked at Katsuto Matsuura.

Katsuto Matsuura snorted and said, "Let's go." ”

……

Back in the lounge, Koda glanced out to make sure that Lin Hai did not follow, then closed the door and asked Katsuto Matsuura, "President, what should ......I do?"

"Panic what!"

Katsuto Matsuura said in a tone of lesson: "Your performance is higher, and that song has already been registered, even if he makes trouble, what can he do? Unfounded things will only make him a joke in the eyes of everyone!"

Probably feeling that his tone was too strong, he softened slightly and asked, "What I'm more worried about now is that I only have one day of practice, so you don't have a problem, right?"

"Don't worry. ”

Koda said, "The difficulty of that song is not high, and although the lyrics are in English, I have memorized them completely, so I will definitely not go wrong." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "President, I don't understand, why are we in such a hurry?"

"Don't you really want to be famous early?"

Katsuto Matsuura asked rhetorically with a smile, and then said: "Although the copyright is preemptively registered, once that kid reacts and makes a fuss, the impact is not good after all, so I ask you to perform publicly in advance in the name of promoting the new song, so that he can't make waves." Besides, this episode of the show is originally related to the World Cup, don't you think this song is very appropriate?"

……

"Thank you. ”

Lin Hai said to Ayumi Hamasaki on the other end of the phone: "I won't mention you, but it's hard to guarantee that President Matsuura won't be angry with you, after all, you don't need evidence to be angry...... You're back in Fukuoka? Oh, then I'm relieved. ”

"Are you worried about me?" Ayumi Hamasaki's voice was sultry.

Lin Hai took the phone a little farther away and asked, "What are you talking about? Hey, the signal is not very good, I'll hang up first......

Hanging up the phone, Lin Hai let out a sigh of relief and was walking inside, when suddenly, a little girl ran out of it, and one didn't pay attention and almost threw herself into Lin Hai's arms.

The little girl reacted quickly, flashed to the side, looked at Lin Hai vigilantly, and then shouted: "Ah! It's you!"

"It's you. ”

Lin Hai saw the other party clearly, it was actually the little girl he had met in the Tsukiji Market before.

The little girl changed into a top - the same team uniform.

"What's your name?"

Lin Hai bent down slightly, making his smile more kind.

"Why should I tell you? Hmph, bad guy!"

The little girl scolded.

That's a ...... Sad story.

Since Lin Hai crossed, it was the first time he had eaten deflated in front of a woman. What's even worse is that he doesn't know how he offended this little girl!

"Masami-chan, are you already......?"

A man's voice came from the end of the hallway.

"It's coming, Brother Yashi!"

The girl answered and ran quickly.

Is Masami and Masashi brother and sister?

Lin Hai thought, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind—it was actually her!

……

Lin Hai came out of the bathroom and returned to the lounge, and soon, a staff member informed him to go backstage in the studio to prepare.

There's not much to prepare, just double-check the process and the questions you might be asked.

A comprehensive music program like this usually doesn't talk too deeply, after all, the show is only 54 minutes after editing, and after deducting the performance time, there is not much time left for each artist to talk.

Waiting is boring, after all, for a 54-minute show, it takes about two hours to actually record.

Thinking about it this way, the TV station staff is still quite hard, the recording ends at about four o'clock, the broadcast will be broadcast at eight o'clock in the evening, and the post-production time is only four hours.

However, isn't this exactly what Lin Hai wants? After all, once a problem occurs, it is not easy to make up for it......

The rhythmic melody came from the front, and the smile on Lin Hai's face became even stronger.

Yutaka Tanabe didn't know Lin Hai's plan, and he was spraying perfume on his hand and paused suddenly, raised his head in surprise, and asked, "Isn't this our song?!"

"yes. Lin Hai spread his hands and said: "I was accidentally stolen by a thief......"

Lin Hai said, swaying to the music, humming in his mouth: "......-Waka-eh-eh......"
