Chapter 12 Is Love Enough?
"Can I ask you a question, if Akemi-chan really wants to terminate the contract with your company because of my relationship, how much compensation will I need?"
When Takashima Sae finished saying these warning words, Lin Xiuyi asked the other party in a serious tone.
"Officer Lin, I think you may have misunderstood what I meant! I didn't mean to threaten you with the issue of compensation. In fact, Hirata has never really asked its artists for this compensation because of their personal emotional problems!"
Hearing Lin Xiuyi's somewhat resentful tone, Takashima Sae first adjusted his way of speaking and attitude. Her purpose was not to make a fuss with Lin Xiu. Instead, I hope that through frank conversations, Lin Xiuyi will understand that Akemi can't associate with anyone of the opposite sex now. Akemi is only 16 years old, but she still has a career that she loves. Behind Akemi, there is a team working hard for her dream.
Takashima Sae was silent for a while, watching Lin Xiuyi's expression gradually soften, and felt in his heart that since the other party was willing to cooperate with him on the issue of the premiere, he should be a person who could persuade with reason. So she was silent for a while, and then she opened her mouth and asked Lin Xiuyi:
"I heard that Officer Lin, you are an elite bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department, can you please ask how long you have been working in the Metropolitan Police Department!"
"Actually, it's not that long, it's only a little over a year!"
Lin Xiuyi replied coldly to Gao Dao Zuojiang.
"If you count my experience in the industry, this year is my seventh year working for Hirata Studio! I've seen too many artists go up and down in the past seven years. Except for a very small number of successful people, most of the girls didn't even splash a little wave, and they said goodbye to the industry completely. Do you want to know where all these people have gone?"
"Hmm...... I was about to ask you for advice!"
"These girls, who marry others, go back to their hometowns and go back to their hometowns, in fact, they do everything. However, these people cannot be said to be the worst. There are many girls who are not unwilling to leave when they leave, and these girls who have dreamed of becoming stars at a young age have long passed the age of studying. In fact, there are not many paths in front of them to choose from. I was once in charge of a girl with great potential, and she also had the innate conditions to be inferior to Akemi, and once she signed a contract, she became a newcomer to the firm's key launches. However, after that, because of an indecent relationship with a male artist with a bad reputation in a certain industry, he could only terminate the contract with the firm and leave the entertainment industry gloomily. At that time, because of the negative news, the companies that had already signed endorsement contracts with her not only terminated the contract with her, but also saddled her with a huge amount of compensation. As a last resort, she had to make adult movies to pay off her debts......"
Heard the words of Sae Takashima. Lin Xiuyi already understood what the other party was trying to express. The issue of compensation may not be pursued by the law firm. However, what about those large companies that have signed cooperation agreements with artists, will they easily let go of artists who endorse their products? You know, Akemi is almost the most influential female artist of the same age. The endorsement advertisements that Lin Xiuyi knew about alone included first-line brands such as Shiseido and Suntory. If Akemi really annoyed the sponsor because of her romance, would the sponsor really give up?
After listening to Takashima Sae's explanation, Lin Xiu suddenly felt as if his chest had been pressed by a big stone. He looked up and glanced at Akemi in the distance. saw that Akemi was also watching him at this time. The eyes of the two met, and a happy smile flashed on Akemi's face.
"So...... Miss Takashima, what do you mean...... Let me break up with Akemi?" Lin Shuichi asked Takashima Sae with some sadness.
"Breakup thing...... It's too cruel to Akemi, I can't ask you to make such a decision!...... Officer Lim. If you really like Akemi, please let it go for the time being! With Akemi's current strength, she can't really control her own destiny......"
Seeing Lin Xiuyi's somewhat lost look, Takashima Sae finally didn't ask Lin Xiuyi to break up with Akemi. As Akemi's agent, she is against it though. But he also knows how important Lin Xiuyi is to Akemi. However, in the face of objective reality, Sae Takashima has to put the interests of artists and firms first. With Akemi's current status in the industry, she simply can't decide how she lives. Those endorsement contracts that seem to be enviable are not only an affirmation of TSMI's previous efforts, but also a shackle to TSG's emotional freedom. Unless one day Akemi has enough capital, she can truly get rid of the shackles of these contracts and do whatever she wants.
Lin Xiuyi stood in place and was silent for a long time, compared with the lively guests around him, Lin Xiuyi was unusually conspicuous. When he raised his head again, he suddenly said thank you to Takashima very seriously! Lin Xiuyi knew that it was more appropriate to bury some things in his heart and deal with them silently for Akemi. In the face of the cruel reality, it is not possible to solve all problems by loving each other.
When Shuichi Hayashi and Sae Takashima returned to Akemi and Reina together. Lin Xiuyi acted as if nothing had happened, and he still had a warm smile on his face. He inquired about the staff in the hall, and then took Reina, Akemi, and Takashima to Mr. Naoto Fujiki, who was talking to his friend.
"Officer Lin, why are you here now, but I've been looking for you for a long time?"
"Mr. Fujiki, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting! I just met a friend I met over there, chatted with them for a while, and then came over to thank you! By the way, this is my sister Reina Kurashi. This is my sister's friend, Ms. Akemi Sonojira, and her agent, Ms. Sae Takashima!"
"Thank you very much for attending this film premiere!"
As he spoke, Naoto Fujiki bowed deeply to Akemi and the others, and Akemi and the others hurriedly returned the salute to Mr. Fujiki when they saw this.
Through the relationship of Hayashi Shuichi, Sae Takashima and Mr. Fujiki exchanged business cards and contact information, and then asked Akemi to express her gratitude to Naoto Fujiki. After Naoto Fujiki, who is a senior artist, praised Akemi, Sae Takashima took Akemi to say goodbye to Naoto Fujiki with great interest. It was only at this time that Naoto Fujiki finally had the opportunity to express his gratitude to Shuichi Hayashi.
"Xiu Yijun, without your help, I would not have been able to complete this filming work no matter what. If it's convenient, I'd like to invite Shuichi-kun out for a drink after the event, I wonder if you can enjoy it!"
"Hmm...... Since it was Mr. Fujiki's invitation, it was natural that I was going!"
