Tokyo, Ginza. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ginza, one of Tokyo's most representative districts, is also the largest and most prosperous commercial district in RB.
Ginza, one of the three major attractions (Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Ginza), which symbolizes the nature, history, and modernity of RB, is one of the three most prosperous centers in the world, along with the Champs-Elysées in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York.
Consisting of eight blocks, Ginza is the most luxurious business district in Tokyo. According to statistics from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Ginza has ranked first in the price of commercial real estate in RB Korea for nine consecutive years. It is also known as the most expensive real estate area on the planet. Alongside the well-known luxury brands are Tokyo's iconic Mitsukoshi Department Store, Wako Department Store (whose clock is the landmark of the city and the symbol of the store itself, and Wamitsu comes from the retail division of Hattori Watch Shop Seiko Watch) and the 14-storey Marion Building, which houses seven movie theaters and two department stores. The elaborate displays in the windows of many shops reflect the typical RB cultural characteristics. There are also many department stores such as Matsuya Department Store, Matsuzakaya, Melusa, and Spring Department Store Ginza. High-end brand stores such as Hermès, Gucci and Chanel also have a variety of restaurants, fine restaurants, high-end nightclubs, etc.
Ginza's famous department stores, small shops of special crafts, high-end snack bars, various restaurants, high-end restaurants, and high-end nightclubs are all located in Ginza, and it is also a cultural and entertainment center.
"Is it prosperous?" Cars are not allowed in the central area of Ginza, so Uesugi Muneyuki and Nanami Hashimoto got out of the car and went to the place agreed with Waio Hori, the president of the Hori office.
He is not afraid of paparazzi secretly filming or something, in the entertainment industry, it is too normal for the top boss to bring his artists out for activities, and if the tabloid reporter wants to be more serious, it means that he has to confront the entire industry.
No tabloid dared to trouble him.
"It's bustling... "It was the first time for Nanami Hashimoto to come to Ginza, and the lights were bright, and the commercial area of the metropolis at night made the girl almost dazzled.
Even though it was nighttime, Ginza was still overcrowded, the wide pedestrian street was crowded with huge crowds, and the lights flashed on the signboards of merchants' shops, and Soyuki walked into the crowd with Nanami Hashimoto with a natural face.
"Behind the prosperity, there is a terrible gold-swallowing machine, where the consumption of a night is calculated in 100,000. Zong Xue quickly took the girl to find an inconspicuous shop.
Across the deep street, in the basement of a building, there was a small shop, and Uesugi Muneyuki pushed open the door of the shop.
"Jingle bell~" The voice of the wind chimes came, and a gorgeously dressed waitress immediately appeared: "Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"I'm Sony's Uesugi. Uesugi pushed her black-rimmed glasses and signaled that Nana Hashimoto was not following her.
"Please follow me. The waiter led them to a room that was luxuriously furnished, with all wooden furnishings, antique tea and wine sets, and a large bookcase filled with books.
"They think it'll be a little while, let's sit down. Soyuki pulled Nanami Hashimoto to sit down.
Nanami Hashimoto suddenly felt that her dress was too shabby, too plain, and how to look at it in this environment was incongruous.
Uesugi Soyuki picked up a book and read it with relish.
"Is this your life?" the girl finally took the initiative.
"It depends on what you want? Actually, if you really wanted to, you could live like this, wouldn't you? I don't believe no one has ever looked for you. Zong Xue put down the book, looking very interested.
"I'm just an ordinary girl from Hokkaido. Nana Hashimoto looked him straight in the eye.
"Very well, I appreciate you more and more, Hashimoto-san. Uesugi Soyuki picked up the book again and read casually: "The bridge of the Sagami River is in disrepair... ”
"Azuma Mirror?" the girl asked.
"Yes, this book records the history of the rise of the samurai family, and also records the decline of the public family, don't you think it's very similar to the present?" Uesugi Soyuki held the book, slightly surprised.
After reading only one paragraph, you can know which book it is, Cultural Bridge, and it lives up to its name.
Before he could say anything, the president of the HORI office, Waio Hori, arrived.
Behind the middle-aged man with half-gray hair, there was a beautiful woman dressed in fancy clothes: "Hello, Director Uesugi, I'm Mai Oshima of the Hori Office. ”
The core members of AKB48 chose Mai Oshima to graduate at the moment before dawn!
"Hello, I'm Nanami Hashimoto from Nogizaka 46!" Nanami Hashimoto also greeted.
Hori Waifu sat down with Mai Oshima and soon called the waiter and ordered some liquor and snacks.
"Hashimoto-san, you're not yet 20 years old, you definitely can't drink with us, you can see what to order for yourself!" Zong Xue handed the menu to Nanami Hashimoto.
Nana didn't take it and take a look, the price on it shocked her, and after looking at it for a long time, the girl whispered, "A glass of lemonade." ”
"Poof!" Uesugi almost squirted the tea from his mouth, he covered his mouth, and it took him a long time to swallow the tea.
"Let's come on, is there anything you can't eat?" took the menu, Zong Xue said.
"Nope. ”
"That... A cup of mocha coffee. Zong Xue returned the menu to the waiter.
Things soon came up, and Uesugi Muneyuki began to be polite with Waio Hori.
"Director Uesugi, thank you for your help last time when the banana people were doing their business. "Hori Waifu is referring to the person who hosts Fujitai in Shiraku among the Banana People, and Soyuki also contributed to that incident.
"No, no, no, I also want to thank Banana Man-san for being the MC in our Nogizaka title team. ”
After a few glasses of wine, the topic became a lot hotter, among which Mai Oshima was still constantly persuading to drink in the middle, and the atmosphere at the small table was very lively.
A few side dishes, a few slices of sashimi, the atmosphere at the banquet is very good, even Nanami Hashimoto, who has never liked to talk much, has been mobilized, this is the case in RB culture, no one can be left out at the wine table, even if it is forced to talk, it is necessary to try to make everyone happy.
Nana Hashimoto is still too tender, and under Mai Oshima's routine of mixing in the entertainment park for many years, the girl is gradually getting something out.
For example, the composition of Nogizaka, who are the main scholars, and what activities may be there recently.
However, every time Mai Oshima tried to ask a deeper question, Nanami Hashimoto could feel a gentle touch on her legs under the table, and she would immediately stop talking.
And Uesugi Muneyuki on the side didn't seem to notice the situation here at all, he was talking to Waifu Hori, and he was even slightly drunk.
Can this man do two things?
Seeing that the fire was almost up, Waio Hori coughed, and the conversation between everyone gradually subsided, waiting for the president of the Hori office to express his intention this time.
"Here's the thing, Uesugi-san. After the relationship became closer, Waifu Hori began to call Soyuki by his name: "I heard that you have shares on Facebook and YouTube... ”
"I don't know where President Hori found out.,But... Yes. Uesugi Soyuki's eyes twinkled with stars, and he nodded slowly.
"You know, Hori has been in a bad situation lately, and some of the new artists we've launched have failed in TV series and music, so... ”
"With your propaganda?" Uesugi narrowed his eyes.
His temperament has changed, full of the prudence of the top of a large company and the philistine of a businessman, but no matter how he changes, there is no expression on his face, and no one can tell whether he is interested or not.
Hori has been in decline in recent years in terms of records and TV dramas, and the firm, which once owned Momoe Yamaguchi, is now basically relying on a few big-name artists such as Kyoko Fukada, Satoshi Tsumiki, and Banana Man to give blood to the company, and the studio's artists are famous for their low monthly salaries. Unpopular artists earn less than 100,000 a month. Even the biggest names are paid, and the pay is very disproportionate to their big names.
Its means of retaining its artists mainly rely on favors. This office will never abandon an artist because he is out of luck, and many artists who have lost popularity are still staying in the office and being supported by the office.
Wai Hori's very humane approach to operation makes this firm still run with his face many times, although he himself has been on the back line for many years, but once he encounters something important, he is still the only one who can be useful.
So Horipro is a very enlightened firm, the bad thing is that it is more conniving and indulgent to its artists, and the level of this firm is not a little worse than that of Janis, Yanyin, and these firms, no wonder it has declined in recent years.
Uesugi Muneyuki and Wai Hori talked for a long time, and when the group came out of the shop, both of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Happy cooperation!" the two men shook hands.
"Miss Oshima, thank you very much for today. After shaking hands, Uesugi Muneyuki habitually shook hands with Mai Oshima: "Today, it's very pleasant!"
"Me too, Uesugi-san, could I have the pleasure of getting your contact information?" Mai Oshima's expression was like a blooming flower, and there was nothing unnatural about it.
Nana Hashimoto didn't clearly feel Uesugi Soyuki's movements.
A string of numbers quickly spewed out of his mouth, and it didn't matter if Mai Oshima had time to write it down.
What happened next left Nana dumbfounded.
I saw Mai Oshima immediately take out an eyebrow pencil from the small bag she was carrying, wrote the number on her hand very quickly, and confirmed it with Zong Xue after writing.
On the way back, Uesugi Soyuki looked at Ginza, which was still brightly lit, and sighed deeply: "Hashimoto-san, do you see it? A woman who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time." ”
The man held up his phone, on which was a greeting text from Mai Oshima, and at the end of the message, her address was attached.
"If you stay in the entertainment industry for a long time, will you become like that?" "Nana Hashimoto feels that she has really seen a lot today.
"No, do you know Mai Oshima, why did she suddenly choose to graduate when AKB had already started to become popular?" Uesugi Soyuki seemed to ask Nanami Hashimoto, and seemed to be talking to himself.
Then, without giving the girl a chance to answer, he continued, "Come with me, okay?"
"Good. ”
