"Here's the way, come in!"

Shizuka Kudo's father opened the door, turned his head and shouted into the kitchen, "Shizuka, the method is here." ”

Shizuka Kudo poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled from Sakai Noriko, "Noriko, let's sit in my room first...... I'm making sushi and it's going to be good soon. ”

"Need my help?" Sakai asked tentatively.

"No, you don't." Shizuka Kudo smiled at her, retracted her head and continued to work in the kitchen.

Sakai Noriko went to Shizuka Kudo's room and saw a photo of herself and Shizuka Kudo on the shelf, so she reached out and took the frame down.

This is the year before last when the two participated in an announcement together, and it was taken at the recording site of the show, and the two of them had their heads squeezed in front of them, and the smiles on their faces were clean and pure, just like the friendship between the two at that time.

At that time, the two had known each other for less than half a year, but they were already very, very good friends, and they talked on the phone every day, telling them about their happiness or unhappiness, and encouraging each other.

But as the two grew more famous, the media began to constantly compare the two together, and some rumors appeared to provoke their relationship.

At first, both of them felt that this was normal media hype, because artists need to be exposed, so they didn't pay too much attention to this change.

I don't know if it is affected by this public opinion environment, the relationship between the two began to slowly drift apart, although they met the best friends who were still close, but the number of phone calls became less and less, and more when one person sold a big record or won an award, the other person called to congratulate.

Only share happiness, but no longer talk about suffering. Slowly, this kind of sharing has become a disguised comparison and show-off.

Until now. The two are still nominally friends. But I can no longer find the sincerity that I had to talk about at the beginning.

Noriko Sakai sighed faintly, then put the frame back on the shelf.

At this time, Shizuka Kudo walked into the room with a plate.

"How about a taste of the sushi I made?"

Sakai Noriko picked up a piece of sushi and put it in her mouth, and to be honest, the taste was very ordinary, but she pretended to be delicious and nodded and praised Shizuka Kudo.

Shizuka Kudo's praise for Noriko Sakai was very useful, and she put the plate aside. Sitting cross-legged, holding Noriko Sakai's hand, the two chatted.

"Shizuka, I have something to confess to you, but if you promise, you must not blame me."

Shizuka Kudo looked at Noriko Sakai a little strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Sakai Noriko glanced at Shizuka Kudo and said cautiously, "You said that date, I couldn't help but be curious." ”

Shizuka Kudo's eyes widened, and her expression looked a little incredulous.

"You really went?"

Noriko Sakai nodded.

"So you saw the man who delivered the flowers?" Shizuka Kudo suddenly laughed. "You found out that the other party was not Lin Youlun, you were very disappointed, right?"

Noriko Sakai shook her head. "The disappointment was the man, because he thought it would be you who went to see him."

"So, it's all a misunderstanding?"

Sakai looked at Kudo Shizuka very seriously: "This is what I want to apologize to you, it's not a misunderstanding, I really met Lin Youlun." ”

Shizuka Kudo didn't believe it at all at first.

"Fazi, don't be kidding, although this time you ran away in vain, you don't have to make up such a reason to lie to me, right?"

"But I mean it."

Sakai Noriko emphasized again that this time Shizuka Kudo finally believed it.

"You really met Lin Youlun?"

"Yes, not only Lin Youlun, but I also met Mr. Cai Yan, who translated for him, and is the Hong Kong producer who often cooperates with Japanese film companies."

Shizuka Kudo became nervous at this time, "It's too bad, I didn't go, does Mr. Lin think I'm rude?" ”

"Don't worry, I explained it for you, and Mr. Lin won't blame you for this."

Sakai's answer made Shizuka Kudo feel a little more at ease, but she was more curious about what Lin Youlun and Sakai talked about after that.

"Mr. Lin is going to start filming a movie and wants to invite you to play one of the roles, but the contact with your agency is not smooth, so he wants to contact you first."

Shizuka Kudo stared at Noriko Sakai's mouth with bated breath, for fear that she had missed a word.

"Oh my God, the agency never told me about it!"

Sakai pouted, "This is normal, the brokerage company should not notify you until the negotiation is final." ”

"But they should at least ask for my opinion......" Shizuka Kudo held her head, her expression very tangled.

"It depends on which agency you're in, but in general, artists rarely have the power to make their own decisions on this issue."

Sakai's words didn't bring much comfort to Shizuka Kudo, and then she suddenly thought of a question, she didn't go to the appointment, so how would Lin Youlun deal with this matter?

Linked to Sakai's apology to herself just now, Shizuka Kudo suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart, and she felt that the development of things might have completely exceeded her imagination.

"In addition to explaining why I didn't go, what else did you talk about with Mr. Lin?"

"At that time, I saw that it was really him, and then I was so nervous, basically he asked me, and then I answered, he first told me the reason for asking you to meet, and then asked me if I was interested in playing this role......" Sakai Noriko said this, and glanced at Shizuka Kudo with a guilty expression.

Kudo Shizuka's expression was in a trance for a while, and then she forced herself to calm down and tried to ask, "So you agreed?" ”

The guilty expression on Sakai's face was even worse.

"In that case, you didn't go to the appointment, Mr. Lin was already very unhappy, if I refused again, I was afraid that he would be even more angry, so I agreed to him, but I really didn't mean to take away your role, really, Shizuka, you must believe me!" Sakai Noriko took Kudo Shizuka's hand and said earnestly.

Shizuka Kudo's mind was blank, and after a brief loss of consciousness, she finally reacted.

"Okay, Fazi, I won't blame you for this."

Noriko Sakai breathed a sigh of relief, but Shizuka Kudo became preoccupied.

After eating, Noriko Sakai said goodbye and left, and Shizuka Kudo sent her to the door.

Watching the taillights of the taxi Noriko Sakai ride disappear at the corner of the street, Shizuka Kudo smiled self-deprecatingly.

Of course, the whole thing was caused by Shizuka Kudo's own mistakes, but if Sakai is completely innocent, Shizuka Kudo will definitely not believe it.

If Sakai Noriko didn't have the slightest idea of competing for opportunities with herself, how could she run to meet a stranger for no reason?

Thinking of this, Shizuka Kudo's expression suddenly became very lonely.

If she is faced with the same choice as Sakai Noriko, I'm afraid she will make the same decision as Sakai Noriko, so she can't blame Sakai Noriko for calculating herself, and it's good to think that this is a lesson.

Shizuka Kudo thinks so, it doesn't mean that Sato, the president of her agency, thinks so.

Wang Jing suddenly called and told them that the cooperation negotiations had unfortunately been suspended, because a more suitable candidate had been found here.

"Shizuka is obviously their first choice, why did it become like this, can any of you tell me, what is this for?" Sato roared angrily at a group of men in his office.

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to speak.

After Sato lost his temper, he sat down breathlessly, since it happened, it was useless to regret it, what should be done now is to find a way to downplay the impact that this incident may have on Shizuka Kudo.

"If a reporter asks about this, the company must have a unified voice, just say that there has never been any contact with the filmmaker, and Shizuka has never considered this role, understand?"

Sato knows very well in his heart that if the media knows that Shizuka Kudo was originally the first choice for this role, but was later replaced by Noriko Sakai, not only will Shizuka Kudo's reputation be damaged, but the agency will also become the laughing stock of the industry.

Of course, it is useless for the company to unilaterally deny this kind of thing, and if you want to hide it, you have to keep the film producer from telling you about it.

Sato has already done everything he can, but he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the "hospitality" of Wang Jing in the past few days could play a role, and save more face for himself when facing reporters.

At this time, one of his subordinates reminded him in a whisper: "President, the time is almost up." ”

Sato nodded, and asked the TV in the office to be turned on and changed to a channel that often broadcast entertainment news.

"The famous Hong Kong director Wang Jing recently went to Japan to select the heroine for the new film, and the idol singer Sakai Noriko won the favor of the director, and the two sides officially signed a contract yesterday, and then Sakai Noriko's agency also officially released an announcement to confirm the news of Sakai Noriko's joining...... It is reported that director Wang Jing's new film is adapted from the famous comic "City Hunter" by Tsukasa Hojo, which has a large number of readers in Japan and Hong Kong. ”

On the TV screen, Wang Jing and Sakai Noriko sat together at the front desk, each holding a large number of microphones in their hands, and the camera flashes came and went.

"Director Wang, it is rumored that the role of Noriko Sakai in this movie was originally intended to invite another Japanese artist to play, what do you think about this?"

This clip of the live report suddenly made Sato nervous in front of the TV. (To be continued......)
