Chapter 180: Naoyuki Okada's Persuasion
"That's it for today, let's go on our own first." Kagawa Yu waved his hand, signaling that everyone could disband, and after everyone left, Kagawa Yu sighed helplessly. This show is definitely going to be on, one is that this show is a popular variety show, even if it is a big name like Ayumi Hamasaki. Hikaru Utada has also appeared on this show many times, and another one of Fuji TV's signature programs is this program, and if you don't show it yourself, Fuji TV's face will not look good.
But one thing that makes him more scruples is that the hosts of this show are all funny artists from the Basic Industrial Office, and these two belong to the kind of artists who are very respected and liked in the entire RB entertainment industry, these two are Matsumoto and Hamada Masako!
To be honest, Kagawa Yu had a certain prejudice against the entire group of funny artists because of the out-of-the-ordinary performances of funny artists, but with his gradual and in-depth understanding of the entertainment industry, he has a lot less prejudice against the entire group of funny artists....Of course, except for Shimada Shinsuke, compared to these two, Shimada Shinsuke's character is really poor. And he also had an affair with **, and it was the reason why Shimada Shinsuke made him and Yoshimoto Koji have a stalemate, but now it seems that Yoshimoto Koji Koji seems to have the intention of reconciliation
Eventually, he decided to call Naobow Okada for some advice.
"How are you doing? Okada-san"
"Yo, Chairman Kagawa is really touched to think of me as a partner," Naoyuki Okada on the other end of the phone teased.
"Okada-san said with a smile, you have always lived in my heart, how is Maki-chan now?" Kagawa Yu didn't know how embarrassed he was to ask this sentence, as Horikita Maki's agent, he didn't even know Horikita's recent situation.
"That girl has been busy with her new drama recently, and then again, you are his agent who asked such a question, don't you feel ashamed?" There was a slight sarcasm in Okada's tone.
"I'm really ashamed to be honest... By the way, Okada-san, I have something I want to ask you about the recent invitation to me in "Heyheyhey", do you think I should be on it or not?"
Okada Naoyuki on the other end of the phone heard this, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I think you should be on this show... If I'm not mistaken, this is Yoshino's courtship to you... He is a very arrogant person, he rarely bows to others, let alone a junior, if you refuse, I'm afraid you will really fight with Yoshimoto Xing, which is very detrimental to your artists and your own development... There is a fact that may hit you when you speak out, although you seem to be doing well now, but you are still very far from Yoshimoto Kogye. And I think you've always had the mentality of despising Yoshimoto Kogyo..."
Okada Naoyuki said it very bluntly, and Kagawa Yu also heard what she meant... I do have some meaning of cocking my tail to the sky recently.
"Then why did he choose to show favor to me?" After a long time, Kagawa asked.
"Of course, it's because of interests, one is because of your own identity, and the other is that he sees your potential and ambition, for people like us who are in the entertainment industry, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, and don't you see it? Although Yoshimoto Koji & Co. and Genesys & Co. are mortal enemies... But the artists of the two firms communicate in many programs... Although you and Yoshimoto Kogyo exchanged statements blocking each other... But you didn't make any moves after that, so you can see that both of you have scruples! Being able to play HeyHeyhey like this is an opportunity for both of you to build trust with each other. Okada Naoyuki said in detail, with only one meaning, she hoped that Kagawa could take this opportunity to ease relations with Yoshimoto Ko.
"I see, Okada-san... Thank you! ”
"I'm sure Kagawa-san will make his own choice."
After some enlightenment from Okada Naoyuki, Kagawa Yu figured out a lot of things, and his previous thoughts were indeed a little narrow and extreme... For an agent who wants to survive in the entertainment industry, this really does not appear. After figuring it out, Kagawa Yu responded to Fuji TV and the "Heyheyhey" program team through his office and stated that he would participate in the recording of the program!
Fuji TV and Matsu Benzhi and Hamada Masako, who got the news, breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, and the image left by Kagawa Yu to them has always been tougher and more strange, and this time he was invited to participate in the recording of the show, and they didn't have any bottom in their hearts, but they didn't expect this tentative invitation to receive very good results.
But what they are most worried about now is what kind of questions they should ask Kagawa Yu when they are on the show. After all, Kagawa has always seemed mysterious...
