Atsuko Maeda's photo album published before the Shogakukan was well received, so Yusuke Kitajima is full of confidence. He said again: "Aragaki San, our sincerity is very sufficient, for your photo album, we specially invited Mr. Yuki Nishimura." He is one of the few big-name photographers in the industry, from Seiko Matsuda in the 80s, to Shizuka Kudo in the 90s, and now AKB, he doesn't know how many top idols have taken photos, and his strength and experience are impeccable. ”

Then, Yusuke Kitajima said aggressively: "Aragaki-san, this time we have shown the greatest sincerity, the most adequate preparation, and the most generous conditions, if you hesitate again and live up to our kindness, then the cooperation can only be interrupted!"

It's almost a blunt threat.

However, the girl still didn't make up her mind, and hesitated: "Kitajima-san, I am very grateful for the opportunity to shoot this photo album, but ......"

"Humph!"

Seeing that he still couldn't convince the other party, Yusuke Kitajima's face suddenly became ugly, and he snorted coldly.

At this time, the president of the company, Ken Honma, who had not spoken and seemed to have disappeared, smiled and played a round: "Oops, it's noon, let's have dinner first, and then let's talk." ”

After speaking, he pulled up Yusuke Kitajima: "There is a Turkish barbecue near the office that is very good, let's try it together!"

After the two men left, the agent Urashima comforted: "Gakki, don't be too stressed, let's talk about it after eating, for artists, good health is the most important thing, and meals must be eaten on time." ”

Aragaki nodded.

When the two of them left the office, they met a person.

It's a junior in the same office as her.,Kawashima Haihe.,A cute girl with big eyes and a round face.。

"Senior, are you going to dinner? ”

The three of them went to a frequented Italian restaurant, and after ordering, Kawashima Kaihe took out a magazine from his bag and looked at it.

Aragaki Yui glanced at the cover and said strangely, "Haihe, you still read comics?"

"Huh?" Kawashima Haihe was a little surprised, "Senior, you forgot? You told me a few days ago that you have a good friend's comic book to be published in young_animal. Otherwise, why would I buy this kind of comic magazine for boys? Don't say it seniors, this manga called "Dragon Sakura" is really interesting, and it's also very well drawn, much more pleasing to the eye than those messy fighting comics. ”

Aragaki Yui held her forehead in frustration.

Because of the photo album, I forgot about Brother Qin's comics on sale today.

I just called and complained vigorously, and I didn't even say a word of congratulations.

"Hehe, show me. ”

"Good senior. ”

Yui Aragaki took "young_animal" and took a closer look at the cover first: two beautiful girls in sailor suits based on her and Masami Nagasawa, Kano Kasaka and Naomi Mizuno.

"Brother Qin is really amazing, although it is just a comic, it completely copied the temperament and character of me and Ma sauce on the paper, which is even more expressive than the photo!"

She couldn't wait to open the magazine and start reading "Dragon Sakura".

The first two episodes of "Dragon Sakura", forty pages, the main characters who appear are the protagonist Kenji Sakuragi, and two schoolgirls Kano Kazaka and Naomi Mizuno.

The comics not only have a compact plot, but also have excellent character creation, which makes people unable to stop turning the pages.

Especially the role of Kano Kasaka.

With long straight black hair and a beautiful face, everyone looks forward to a beautiful girl in high school.

But her personality is a bit maverick, she doesn't like to get into the crowd, and prefers to stay alone from afar, watching the noisy and lively world.

Compared with the girl who is packaged in the media, full of smiles, and brings vitality and healing to people, Kano Kasaka in the comics is the real herself......

"If it weren't for my sister to help me sign up, I'm afraid I would never have embarked on the path of being an artist......" Yui Aragaki suddenly recalled the past......

She held the comic magazine in her hand, and her heart warmed - it feels good to have someone in this world who knows herself so well.

After a long time, the girl returned the magazine to Kawashima Kaihe, and then said to the agent seriously: "Urashima-san, I have decided!"

"I decided to refuse Kitajima-san's request. ”

"Why did you suddenly make up your mind?" Miss Urashima saw that Yui Aragaki had a firm gaze, and there was a world of difference from the hesitant appearance before.

"Because I remembered my original intention to enter the entertainment industry. I want to keep being myself!"

"Besides, I really can't get along in the entertainment world, so I went to Brother Qin's house to mix and eat. ”

Of course, the latter sentence cannot be spoken.

"It's good that you have your own ideas. Ah, the pasta is coming!"

…………

In the afternoon, after returning to the office, the preparation of the photo album will continue.

As soon as he came up, Yusuke Kitajima still had the same aggressive attitude: "Aragaki-san, and President Honma, we have wasted a morning, and this matter cannot be postponed until tomorrow! The conditions and requirements of our elementary school hall have been laid out, you should make a decision quickly! These days, the photo industry is not easy to mix, and the young actors who want to work with us can be lined up from Harajuku to Yoyogi!"

Seeing that Yusuke Kitajima was impatient and looked like he was about to leave, Yui Aragaki mustered up the courage to stand up, bowed, and said, "Kitajima-san, I am very grateful for you and Shogakukan's fancies, but after careful consideration, I still hope to maintain my true colors and not take the sexy route." ”

"What?!" Yusuke Kitajima's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

Just when Yui Aragaki thought that Yusuke Kitajima would scold a few words, and then slammed the door and left in anger, the other party's attitude changed greatly.

Yusuke Kitajima muttered a few words, sat back on the sofa, and said: "The pure route is the pure route, there is also a risk in changing the image rashly, maybe you won't be famous, and even the original fans will be lost." ”

After speaking, he took out a large number of information documents from his bag seriously: "Then, let's talk about specific shooting and cooperation." ”

The girl was stunned by the sudden change.

Until the contract was negotiated, the agent Urashima sent Yusuke Kitajima away, and she didn't come back to her senses.

"Yui, do you think Yusuke Kitajima is weird. Before, you were obviously domineering, and you didn't agree to terminate the cooperation, why did you change your attitude after you refused?" said President Honma Ken with a smile.

Aragaki Yui nodded honestly.

"That's because you can really make a lot of money by letting you shoot a sexy photo album. And shooting a photo album with a more conservative scale can also make money. But if the cooperation fails, then nothing can be made. As a businessman, how do you think he will choose? Kitajima's acting skills are so clumsy that I can see at a glance what he is going to do. ”

Ken Honma explains, "Actually, the firm has already designed a personal image and development route for you, and even if you don't say it, I will end up rejecting the other party's request." The reason why I haven't expressed my opinion is that I want to see Yui's reaction. Thankfully, you didn't disappoint me. Many girls who have just entered the entertainment industry will lose their way in various coercion and temptation. There are very few people who can maintain themselves and reach the top. ”

"The world of adults is really complicated...... "The girl nodded understandingly.
