Chapter 9 Free Dinner

In the 100-square-meter lounge, candidates who have already completed interviews are much more relaxed than when they wait in line outside the conference room, and a few familiar people spontaneously gather together to chat about the popular music and games of the age group, while the rest occupy a chair or are in a daze, or pick up a magazine in the lounge to read.

Ye Zhao found a chair near the corner and sat down, picked up a magazine casually, and when he looked at the cover, he suddenly felt a little messy, not only because of its colorful cover and coolly dressed cover girl, but also because the name of this magazine is "Weekly Truth".

"Weekly Truth" is a male-oriented weekly magazine, compared with the conscience of the industry "Weekly Wenchun", which broke a lot of heavyweight news, "Weekly Truth" is jokingly called only the word "Weekly" is the truth, and the whole magazine is a bunch of seemingly exciting reports such as so-and-so actress is going to the sea, so-and-so male star has an illegitimate child, etc., but in fact, he patted his head and casually made nonsense.

However, although this magazine is a bit out of the stream, its sales are good, the reason is that it contains many swimsuit photos and X photos of photo actresses......

In the evening, the interview ended. Of the 40 finalists, 6 were deemed to have abstained because they did not show up. As the examiner's representative walked into the lounge, the room, which had been slightly disturbed, fell silent for a moment.

"First of all, thank you very much for coming to this interview, there were more than 15,000 people who signed up for this advertising audition, and you were all the best among them, so when deciding on the winner, the review team had a very heated discussion. The representative of the censor said this, and his tone paused, "After deliberation in all aspects, I now announce that the winner of this NTT DOCOMO advertising selection is-"

Just like the teacher always has to deliberately pause when he calls his name to receive the paper after the exam, people all over the world have the bad taste of gasping for breath when they announce important results.

"The winner of this NTT DOCOMO advertising audition isβ€”β€”" The representative of the censor, who had whetted his appetite, announced the name of the winner through the microphone: "No. 26, Ye Zhao! Congratulations!"

"Now, please follow our champion to the reception on the first floor, and then there will be a press conference of about 30 minutes. ”

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhao slowly stood up from his seat, accepted the baptism of curiosity, jealousy, envy, etc. in the lounge, and slowly walked in front of the examiner representative, "Hello, I am Ye Zhao." ”

He then left the lounge, surrounded by representatives of the examiners and four staff members.

Ye Zhao was an ordinary little person in his last life, neither a student with unsuccessful grades, nor a talent that astonished the talents, except for the human flesh set of several school evenings in the style of catching ducks on the shelves, he had never really stood in front of the stage, so he didn't know that it was so cool to be in the center of the stage and surrounded by magnesium lights.

At this moment, at the press conference, facing the long guns and short guns of dozens of newspapers and media in the audience, Ye Zhao can finally understand why so many people have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze into the entertainment industry, it is really this kind of attention, as if you are the center of the world, the feeling is like a kitsch, which makes people want to stop.

However, although he appeared in front of the stage as the champion, the real protagonist was not Ye Zhao, but the vice president of NTT DOCOMO sitting next to him, and the microphones of the reporters invariably reached out to him, asking about the details of the selection and the time of the release of new products, etc., Ye Zhao was asked only one question from beginning to end: Do you feel about winning the championship?

Ye Zhao smiled: "If you want to talk about your feelings, of course I'm very happy." After all, it is not possible for anyone to add the term "NTT DOCOMO spokesperson" to their future resumes. ”

Finally, the staff handed over a large piece of cardboard with a check for 1 million yen, and Ye Zhao and the organizer picked up the cardboard together and took a group photo under the lens of the media. This news will occupy a small page in the morning news and newspapers the next day, throwing an inconspicuous pebble into the magnificent entertainment industry, and no one knows if it will make waves.

By the time the press conference ended, it was past 7 p.m. The organizers are going to have dinner at a high-end restaurant in Roppongi, and although he is the winner of this selection, Ye Zhao is not invited, as for the reason, it is probably because in the eyes of the RB people, this is an internal dinner that belongs to them, and Ye Zhao is not within the scope of this "internal". You can say that they are rigorous, but to put it bluntly, it is because RB is a people who are both rigid and petty.

Chiyoda Ward is the center of Tokyo, where many large companies are headquartered, and since it is not a business district, the streets are exceptionally quiet at night.

"These stingy RB people don't even give out a boxed lunch...... "Enduring the bursts of hunger in his stomach, Ye Zhao couldn't help but complain.

A white Cadillac drove slowly from behind, and when it approached Ye Zhao, the person in the driver's seat rolled down the window and greeted, "Ye Jun." ”

Through the dim light, Ye Zhao recognized this person as the aunt during the daytime audition.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I've booked a table at a Western restaurant in Ginza, do you want to come along? You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"No," Ye Zhao refused, "Ginza is too far away from where I live, and when you finish eating with Auntie, maybe even the tram for the return trip will be suspended." ”

The woman showed a crying and laughing expression, "Please, it's not like you're going to farm and fish by yourself, it's just a meal." Besides, even if the train is out of service, I can't drive you home?"

"Auntie, there is an old Chinese saying, 'Nothing to be courteous is a thief',...... Looking at the way you look, you must not understand what it means, right? That is, if one person is especially good to another person for no reason, there must be an ulterior motive. On the big night, you and I are not related, why do you invite me to dinner and send me home?"

"Okay. The woman raised her hand in surrender, "I'm the agent of the Yanyin Office, because I think you have very good conditions, and I want to talk to you alone, is it okay?"

Ye Zhao took the business card, which was printed with Yuko Nakano, the chief agent of the Kenne Office. "It turned out to be someone from the Yanyin Office, Auntie, if you just said no. ”

Yuko Nakano once again pretended not to hear the word "auntie", and said, "Can you go with me now?"

Ye Zhao shrugged, replaced words with actions, and directly opened the door of the back seat of the car and sat in. Anyway, there is a free dinner to eat, and you can also listen to what medicine is sold in Nakano Yuko gourd, so why not do it.

Yuko Nakano's restaurant is close to Ginza Station on the subway, and during peak dining hours, most of the restaurants are white-collar workers who work nearby. Yuko Nakano ordered a salad and seafood soup, the main dish was a herb-grilled lamb chop, Ye Zhao ordered salmon and vegetable soup, and the main dish was a black pepper steak, because Ye Zhao was still a minor, so he didn't order alcohol.

Ye Zhao was so hungry that he didn't bother to be polite, so he ate by himself. Although he was eating quickly, he didn't feel rude at all, and in the eyes of Yuko Nakano on the other side, he was very free and easy. However, she didn't come to see Ye Zhao to eat, when she saw Ye Zhao for the first time, she had a feeling that her eyes lit up, although his appearance was not the top among the many candidates, but his temperament was very clean, and the talent he showed through the song "Secret Base" made Nakano Yuko admire it, and immediately moved to persuade him to join Yanyin, including those words he said during the day, but also to attract his attention, let him have a little impression of himself, and facilitate him to talk to him alone later.

I have to say that Yuko Nakano saw this point quite accurately, there were twelve examiners in the room at that time, if she hadn't said that, Ye Zhao wouldn't have remembered such a person at all, but he was afraid that he would leave her before she handed over the business card.

"Aunt Nakano, if you have anything to say, say it now. Ye Zhao, who had eaten and drunk enough, took the initiative to pick up the topic.

"I'll get straight to the point. When it comes to business, Yuko Nakano's aura changes instantly, and she has the ability to be a working woman, "I am very optimistic about your personal conditions and talents, and I want to sign you as an artist of Yanyin Agency." ”

A scout wants to talk to you, and 12 percent of them have a crush on you. Ye Zhao knew that the woman in front of him was different from the scouts he had seen in Shibuya from different sources, as long as he showed the slightest interest, she could quickly finalize a contract, and he didn't have to worry about being tricked into doing strange things after signing.

"If I sign a contract with your firm, what conditions will you offer?"
