ZYE is a one-person company that belongs to Ye Zhao to put it bluntly, so what he says is basically equivalent to making a final decision. Although Takeda Jun showed some disapproval before, after all, it was just an opinion put forward by an old man who had been in the entertainment world for many years, and since Ye Zhao insisted on doing it, he had no choice but to listen.

Fortunately, after seeing Ye Zhao's script, Takeda Jun is still not very optimistic about what Ye Zhao is going to do now, but at least he sees some feasibility from his plans and actions. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be busy running around and helping Ye Zhao and Cultural Broadcasting negotiate the signing now, but would consider whether to find a home.

At the beginning of June, a selection meeting hosted by ZYE and co-organized by Cultural Broadcasting quietly opened, targeting teenagers and girls between the ages of 15 and 19 who are interested in dubbing radio dramas. Along with the selection book, there is also a short line of the male protagonist Shotaro and the female protagonist Aki in his youth, and the way to sign up is to record his own dubbing of this line on tape and send it to the ZYE office.

The slogan of the selection book was thought of by Ye Zhao himself, and it was only nine words: "Your voice will create miracles".

Of course, it is difficult to arouse the interest of teenagers of this age with such a selection advertisement alone. Dubbing a radio drama is a job that needs to be hidden behind the scenes, unlike a beauty pageant organized by a brokerage company, which comes with the temptation of being able to stand in the spotlight and get in touch with the showbiz.

For this reason, Ye Zhao set a certain reward for this audition: the two who won the championship will each receive a bonus of 100,000 yen, and in addition, each dubbing he participated in will pay the corresponding salary and carriage fee. In this way, the champion will be paid about 180,000 yen in total through this radio drama.

180,000 yen is about a month's salary for a newcomer to the workforce, and this event alone is enough to be worth the word "generous". Don't compare the audition that Ye Zhao has participated in, after all, the former is a large-scale advertising selection for the whole country conducted by the mobile company of the book, and now it is just a low-cost radio drama. If the prize money needs to be calculated in millions, then it is meaningless.

Horikoshi High School has always been known as the cradle of stars, and like Sunrise Women's Gakuen, Horikoshi High School has classes for talented people, so these two schools are the first choice for teenagers and girls who aim to become stars.

Today was about ten minutes later than usual. Hurriedly entering the teaching building, even if she was about to be late, the girl still remembered the school rules and did not make a move to run around the campus.

Open the shoe cabinet, change into indoor shoes, come to the outside of the class, the moment the door is opened, the eyes in the classroom subconsciously turn to the door, but after seeing the person who came, they retracted indifferently.

Although the girl's arts class is designed for those who aim to enter the arts world, there are also ordinary people who are interested in the arts class and would rather pay a part of the tuition to get in. Of course, even those who aim to enter the entertainment world are now mostly unknown, including herself.

The few people in the class who are really starting to become popular, now the attendance rate is almost to the minimum, and they have to choose to make up classes at night, and it is quite a luxury to want to see them in the class during the day.

The girl is in the window row, counting second from the back, pulling out a chair and sitting down, looking for the books and materials needed for the first lesson. The two or three girls sitting in the middle of the back row exchanged glances with each other, and one of them lifted his chin as if he had received a signal, and the three got up from their seats and came to the girl.

"Kondo-san, good morning. ”

The girl called Kondo raised her head in a bit of a panic, "Ah, hello. ”

The girl at the head smiled brightly, "I heard that Kondo-san has become the inner disciple of singer Nishikawa Hiroshi San?"

"Yes. ”

"That's great," said another girl, who seemed innocent, "If this continues, Kondo-san will be able to debut as an official singer in the near future, right?"

"Aren't you going to sing in a kimono at NHK?"

"This ......," Kondo looked embarrassed, "this is too exaggerated, it's just that I'm just starting to learn fur, it's too far from that." ”

"Don't be so modest. The girl in charge handed over a notebook, "Can Kondo-san sign my name?" If I don't sign it now, I won't have a chance to wait until later." ”

"That's right, Kondo-san, sign it!" the other two girls also coaxed.

"Thank you for your auspicious words, if only it could be like this. With a grateful expression, Kondo took the notebook and carefully signed his name on it.

And when she handed the notebook back to the girl with both hands, she was greeted with a string of merciless ridicule. "Hahahaha, it's so funny, this guy actually signed us up!"

"yes, she doesn't really think she's going to be a big star, is she?"

"Please, a 'big star' like you who is not even a miscellaneous fish artist, still dare to learn the signature of a real star?"

"No kidding!" the girl tore off the page with her name on it and threw it at Kondo. When the ball of paper hit her shoulder, Kondo subconsciously trembled.

The sliding door of the classroom was opened again, and in came the Japanese teacher holding the textbook.

"Students over there, please go back and sit down. ”

"Yes!" the three girls grimaced at each other and sat back in their seats.

While the teacher turned to write on the blackboard, Kondo bent down and picked up the paper balls on the ground. Little by little, the crumpled paper was the flower signature she had practiced desperately after she decided to become a singer.

Carefully folding the paper in half and putting it in the pocket of her school uniform, Kondo lowered her head a little gloomily, her hands under the desk grasped the hem of her skirt, and after taking a few deep breaths in succession, she finally had the courage to look directly at the lectern and the blackboard again.

……

After school, Kondo hastily stuffed his books and notebook back into his bag and walked out of the classroom. The three girls who had laughed at her were getting together to discuss makeup in fashion magazines, and the little episode of the morning had long since been forgotten by them.

The place where I went to school was in Nakano, but the home of the singing teacher who boarded the board and the oden shop where I worked part-time were in Ueno. The only way to get a part-time job is through the underground passage in Ueno, and every time you walk in, you can smell the damp smell that belongs to the underground.

I don't know when I came here, a homeless man was lying on the side of the underground passage and fell asleep peacefully. The loud snoring made Kondo subconsciously glance at him, and then, her eyes were drawn to an advertisement posted on the wall.

"Your voice will do wonders", the simple slogan seems to be inflammatory, and Kondo can't help but look at the content of the advertisement.

"Radio drama audition? or was it planned by Ye Zhaosang?" Kondo watched the content of the advertisement until he saw the end, "The winner's prize is ...... 100,000 yen!"

If you can win, you can rely on this money to ease the financial situation...... Kondo's heart was a little moved, and immediately, the image of being insulted by the three girls in the morning flashed in his mind.

"Can I really do it...... If you do meaningless things, it will only make people laugh, right......" Kondo reluctantly looked at the last sentence of the advertisement, "100,000 yen", as if comforting himself, and whispered: "Anyway, it's just a voice, and you don't need to show up, it's okay...... Right?"

With that in mind, Kondo carefully removed the audition ad.

……

The Meijiza Theater opened in 1873 and was destroyed and rebuilt several times before reopening in 1993. Originally acquired by Kabuki actor Hatsushi Ichikawa Sakuji, this theater served as a performance venue for Kabuki actors for the first 100 years. However, with the development of various art genres and the rise of various art genres, the theater is no longer limited to kabuki actors, but can also be performed by veteran actors, singers, famous artists, and even idols.

At half past three on Saturday afternoon, Ye Zhao came to this prestigious theater. After getting off the bus, Yuki Uemura sent the congratulatory flower basket to the reception, and Ye Zhao entered the backstage through a special internal channel under the guidance of the staff.

Planned by Saburo Kitajima, a leading singer in the singing industry, the song performance will be premiered this afternoon by inviting the younger generation of singers to choreograph the song performance in the form of a stage play. Fuji Ayako and Takeyo Natsuko were among the invitees.

In the lounge, Ye Zhao saw Ayako Fuji.

Today, she wears a black kimono with a tango crepe texture, a kimono belt embroidered in gold, her temples are coiled high, and she is pinned with coral hairpins, and from the left breast of the kimono to the bottom edge, she is dotted with gorgeous cherry blossoms.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but praise: "Today is really beautiful." ”

Fuji Ayako, who usually wears casual clothes, is just a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, but when she puts on a kimono, the whole person glows with a moving look that is both elegant and gorgeous. I have to say that there is no better person to wear a kimono than her.

Fuji Ayako was sitting on the cushion, leaning forward slightly, her eyes shining like water, "Ye Jun, thank you for coming." ”

"How can you not come to such an important performance. Compared to Fuji Ayako, who was sitting in a precarious position, Ye Zhao just sat down on the tatami next to her very casually.

"The performance starts at half past four?" Ye Zhao confirmed.

"Yes. Fuji Ayako picked up the script she had in her hand and handed it over gently, "Do you want to see the appearance process?"

Ye Zhao grabbed her wrist and gently pulled the script out of her hand and put it on the table, "I'll leave a little suspense, and I'll wait until the performance to look forward to it." As she spoke, her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the skin from her wrist to her palm.

Maybe the touch was a little itchy, Fuji Caiko subconsciously wanted to withdraw it, Ye Zhao grabbed her hand, stepped forward, stretched out the tip of his tongue and gently licked the shallow, red mole, and with this force, he held her tightly into his arms. Ayako Fuji leaned against his chest. The tango crepe-textured kimono was slightly cool to the touch, but her skin had a swaying heat.

"Have you heard of that?" Ye Zhao asked in a low voice as she buried her face in the slender neck that was exposed through the collar of her kimono, rubbing the tip of her nose back and forth gently.

"That?"

"That's it," Ye Zhao's hand slowly moved above her knees, "I heard that in the past, the geisha, in order to seize the short gap to meet with the Venerable Master in the days when they were wearing kimonos, came up with a way not to worry about messing up this gorgeous outfit......"

Fuji Ayako's hand patted Ye Zhao's hand on her knee lightly, "Where did Ye Jun hear about these strange 'heard'?"

"Well, after getting to know a woman who always wears a kimono, the relevant knowledge will naturally be absorbed inadvertently. Ye Zhao kissed the delicate skin on the back of her neck, "I'm a studious person." ”

"Don't think about strange things...... "Ayako Fuji struggled, "the show is about to start." ”

"はい、はい~" Ye Zhao nodded perfunctorily and tightened the strength of his hug her, "I won't do anything, just stay like this for a while." ”
