"Miss Sonoji, we are honored to welcome you to Hirata Office. I'm your manager at the Hirata office, Sae Takashima, so please take care of me in the future!"

A woman in her thirties, dressed in professional attire, sat in front of Akemi Sonoji, introduced herself, and then handed over her business card. After Akemi Sonoji took the business card with both hands, she returned the salute to the other party, with a natural smile on her face.

"It's the first time we've met, and I'd like to ask for your kind attention in the future!"

"Miss Sonoji is coming to Hirata Office for the first time today, are you interested in visiting various places?"

Takashima Sae saw that the other party was slightly restrained, and then warmly invited Akemi Sonoji Temple.

"Isn't it convenient, it won't disturb your normal work, Miss Takashima?"

"It's okay, after all, Akemi-chan is the first day to come to the office, so let's say hello to the other seniors in the office, and everyone will be colleagues in the same office from now on!"

"Hey, I'm sorry for you!"

Today was the first time she met her new agent, and Akemi couldn't help but feel very nervous, if it hadn't happened, Akemi would never have thought that she would be in trouble with Iiyama to this point.

In Japan, artist migration is a very sensitive matter. Because emigration usually means betrayal of the original company, in Japan's loyal society, betrayal of the parent company that cultivated oneself can be seen as an act of ungrateful behavior, and often end up causing very serious damage to the artist's reputation.

But things are different for Akemi. After the Iiyama office's use of illegal means to threaten and intimidate its artists was exposed by the media. The Metropolitan Police Department immediately announced that it had opened an investigation into the Iiyama office and took away all the executives, including the president. Under these circumstances, Akemi's act of emigration has been widely sympathized with by the media and the entertainment industry. Major brokerage firms, including Burning Project, the well-deserved hegemon of Japan's entertainment industry, have extended olive branches to Akemi. And the president of Burning Project, Zhou Fang Ikuo, publicly accused Iiyama of being a cancer in the Japanese brokerage industry and must be completely eliminated.

It was in this context that the screening of Fuji Television's morning channel began along with "Island Female Doctor". Akemi Sonoji also began to receive more and more attention. However, in the face of so many choices, Akemi Sonoji has always maintained a clear understanding, and after careful consideration, Akemi unexpectedly chose Hirata Office, which is not good at idol agency affairs, from many invitations from the firm.

Hirata is not the strongest among the many firms in Japan, and most of its artists are actors who focus on acting careers, and in addition to the above-mentioned brokerage business, Hirata has a subsidiary that focuses on stage theater business. This is really suitable for Akemi Sonoji, who is bent on getting rid of the vase identity and becoming an actress.

After coming out of Takashima's agent's office, Akemi Sonoji first met with Yoshiki Sakurai, the president of the club, and then followed the agent Takashima to visit the agents of several senior artists in the Genno department. Subsequently, Sae Takashima took Akemi Sonoji to visit other functional departments in the office.

"Although the main business of Hirata Office is focused on the brokerage business of Yun Nengren, we also have our own model agency business and artist training business, of course, our artist training here is mainly in cooperation with the stage drama company under the office, with the main goal of cultivating actors whose acting skills have been recognized, how about it, are you interested in going downstairs to visit our artist training?"

While introducing the company's other businesses, Takashima Agent took the initiative to invite Akemi Sonoji to visit the company's stage play company. Naturally, Akemi was very happy about this invitation.

Akemi followed Miss Takashima into the elevator, and at this time there were only two of them in the elevator, and at this time, Akemi suddenly asked Miss Takashima:

"There's actually a sentence that I don't know if I should say. I've always been very unconfident in my acting skills, and in the past, I worked hard to become a qualified idol artist at the Iiyama office, so I have always focused all my energy on dancing and singing. I have almost zero experience in acting, so if possible, can I start from scratch like those trainees who have just joined the company?"

"Eh, Akemi-chan, are you serious? I've seen your performance in "Island Doctor", to be honest, although there are still some immature and deficiencies in some places, but you accurately convey the connotation of the character itself, especially the simple and fresh feeling, which is really very charming!"

Takashima's agent said to Akemi sincerely, and after Akemi listened to Takashima Sae's words, she was silent for a while, and then she lowered her head and said to Takashima:

"Miss Takashima, actually...... In "Island Doctor", there are two actors who play Mizushima Ikumi, and my performance is completely imitating another actor, so ......"

"What, two actors? Why didn't I see that?"

"It's true, one of them is mainly responsible for shooting some faceless scenes, she is also my friend, her name is Kurako Reina, although she also doesn't have any acting foundation, but she seems to have been born to know how to act. By the way, would you like to meet Miss Takashima? To be honest, I think she's actually more suitable to play Mizushima Ikumi!"

"Akemi-chan, you have to be confident, no matter what, your screen debut is still very successful, and you know how to absorb the advantages from others, which in itself shows that you also have a good talent. If you really want to attend one of the training courses for beginners, we can arrange them for you too. However, you have to know that you are already a famous artist, and the future work may be very large, and taking these courses will take up a lot of your rest time, are you really willing to do this?"

"Hey, please help me make the arrangements, Miss Takashima!" Akemi said to Sae Takashima without thinking.

"Well, in that case, I'll help you arrange it as soon as possible, but where do you live now? If it's far away from the company, I suggest you move to the vicinity of the company, so that you can save a lot of time spent on the road, if you have this idea, I can also help you arrange the move!"

"Hey, just do as you say, thank you, Miss Takashima?"

"You're welcome, just call me Sister Sae. From today onwards, we will be partners in the fight together. If there is anything, including work and life, you can tell me, and I will help you solve it. However, can the friend you just mentioned come to the office if you have time to meet at the office?"
