Chapter 17: Suzuki
At around 10 a.m., inside a high-rise condominium near Nishi-Waseda Park Tower.
Honami Suzuki was curled up on the couch in the living room with her hair unkempt and wearing a white calico bathrobe.
This is not her residence, but the house of her agent, Miss Mari Aihara.
Yesterday was Thursday, the day of the weekly Wenchun issue. On the cover of this issue of the weekly Bunchun, there is a photo of Honami Suzuki and a middle-aged man entering the hotel together, with a big black headline next to it: "National Love|Rika Hito, a married producer of Fujitai who met in the middle of the night!" ”
As soon as this issue of the weekly magazine Wenchun was launched, Honami Suzuki's company and residence were immediately surrounded by reporters from various media outlets. Unable to be disturbed and didn't know how to deal with it, she had to hide in her agent's house for the night.
In the Japanese-style room next to the living room, the agent Mari Aihara is talking to someone on the phone. Her voice came from the half-open sliding door, and all she could hear was "Hi Yi" and apologize.
On the other end of the line, it must be a big man in the company, or a senior executive at the TV station who is holding him accountable. Gunami Suzuki thought to herself a little self-deprecatingly.
This time, I really got into a big trouble
After a while, Mari Aihara put down the phone and came out of the Japanese room, looking at Honami Suzuki who was curled up listlessly in the sofa, she frowned slightly, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
After a while, she walked to the sofa in the living room with a simple plate of homemade sandwiches and a glass of orange juice, put her things on the coffee table, and said to Honami Suzuki, "Miss Suzuki, although the hospitality is not good, I would like you to have some breakfast first." You barely ate anything last night. ”
Suzuki sat up from the sofa and looked at the sandwich in front of him for a long time, before he said sullenly:
"I'm really embarrassed to trouble Miss Aihara to take care of me. But I really don't have much appetite right now, so I'll drink the orange juice later. ”
Mari Aihara didn't persuade again, but looked at the woman in front of him with some concern, who was supposed to be pretty and lively, and said after hesitating for a while:
"Miss Suzuki, the company hasn't come up with a final response yet, but do you have any thoughts on how to deal with this matter?"
Suzuki picked up the glass with orange juice, turned it in his hand for a moment, and said a little confused:
"It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, and now my brain is like a piece of wood, and I don't have any ideas."
After speaking, she looked at Mari Aihara and said with some eagerness: "Miss Aihara, you are the senior of the company, and the time you have been in the broker industry is not short, do you think there is any way to solve this situation?" ”
Mari Aihara smiled bitterly: "Almost all of Japan is paying attention to such sensational news. Where can I come up with a solution, the key depends on the company's response. ”
She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "However, no matter what kind of response the company formulates, you will eventually have to deal with the relationship with Mr. Ryo Suzuki." ”
Gunami Suzuki was a little embarrassed, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's already like this, how to deal with it?" At most, we will not see each other again in the future, and we will only talk on the phone. ”
She turned her eyes to look at her agent and said, "Miss Aihara, please put yourself in the agent's shoes and frankly, what do you think I should do with this relationship?"
Mari Aihara looked at her with a helpless expression and said, "Miss Suzuki, if you have to ask my opinion." With all due respect, I think you should cut off that relationship with Mr. Ryo uh. ”
She saw that Honami Suzuki had a flat expression on her face, and she couldn't see joy or anger. I couldn't help swallowing two mouthfuls of spit, and continued with some nervousness:
"Miss Suzuki, you are also a person who has worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years, and I think you should be very aware of the strict requirements of the outside world for the image of the characters in this circle. With all due respect, the Japanese people basically have no tolerance for this kind of unruly love that has been exposed. Your image will probably be affected by this"
In the end, Aihara didn't say anything, but Honami Suzuki knew exactly what she meant.
She lowered her head in some distress and buried her face in her hands, was silent for a while, then rubbed her face vigorously, raised her head and said very resolutely:
"Miss Aihara, I see what you mean. I'll try to keep my distance from Mr. Duo Liang. ”
Then, the expression on her face turned from resolute to a wry smile, and her tone became low.
"But if I were to cut ties with him, I might not really be able to."
She waved her hand and stopped Mari Aihara, who was about to speak. There was a trace of trance on his face, and he said faintly:
"Miss Aihara, you know what? That man, he was really willing to give his life to love me. ”
"Miss Aihara must have watched "101 Marriage Proposals", right? The male protagonist in it, Tatsuro, in order to convince Miss Xun of his love for her, and in order to make her believe that he can take care of her, he can rush to the road to stop the speeding truck regardless of life and death. ”
"Because I like you very much, I won't die, and I will definitely give you happiness!"
Honami Suzuki read the lines from the TV series in a dreamy tone, a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
This sentence was actually not a line at the beginning, but Mr. Da Liang's confession to me. The scene of rushing to the street to stop a car is also his personal experience. ”
"You know what? That day, when I sat in a taxi and saw him rush to the front of the car, my heart stopped. But then when he said this to me, my heart beat so fast and so fast."
"He told me that he wanted the whole of Japan to know the story between us, so he made it into a TV series. You see, sure enough, now all of Japan knows that there is such a man who would make such a childish and impulsive act for the woman he loves."
Mari Aihara looked at the little woman in front of her who was completely immersed in love, and there was only a wordless sigh in her heart.
She stood up and said to Honami Suzuki, "Miss Suzuki, the company called just now and asked me to go to a meeting to discuss countermeasures for this incident. I'm about to leave the house. ”
"It's okay for you to stay home alone, right? If you can, try to get yourself something to eat. The body is still the most important thing. ”
"Oh, by the way, the company just asked me to tell you on the phone. In such a situation, please do not contact the outside world without permission. When you're home alone, don't answer any phone calls and never call anyone. ”
After she finished speaking, Honami Suzuki replied to her with a long "hi" as if sleepwalking, seemingly not caring about what she said at all
When Mari Aihara came out of the company in the afternoon, he still looked frowning and worried.
The company still attaches great importance to Honami Suzuki, the most popular actress now. At the meeting, the heads of most of the company's departments were gathered, and everyone was racking their brains to find a way. However, after four hours of meetings, there was still no one that came up with the most effective and feasible solution.
Aami Aihara was very worried about this. Although her HORIPRO economic firm is well-known in the industry, it is not a wealthy company. The artists in the company, except for a few first-line popular artists who can make a lot of money from advertising contracts, the rest of the second- and third-tier artists only have a meager monthly salary to receive. Those third-tier artists who often have to wait for announcements have a monthly salary of only 100,000 yen.
Mari Aihara is now able to afford a high-end apartment in the Nishi-Waseda area and can help her brother pay for college because she acts as an agent for Honami Suzuki. If Suzuki's star career falls because of this incident, then her income will also drop sharply.
On the subway home, she thought about countermeasures in her heart all the way, and almost took the station.
Coming out of the subway entrance of Takadanobaba and passing by a newsstand on the street, she suddenly noticed a new "Asahi Evening Issue" on the booth, and the cover of the morning issue was printed with a bold content preview: "Interview with Fujidai Gold Medal Producer Ryo Hiroshi".
Aihara hurriedly stepped forward to buy one, and took a cursory look at it as he walked.
By the time she got to her apartment building, she had a rough idea in her mind that might be a feasible solution.
Open the door and change your shoes at the entrance. She found that the house was quiet, and the living room was not even lit. She hurriedly took a few steps to turn on the light in the living room, and saw the huddled figure on the sofa, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that people are still there! If the eldest lady sneaks out alone, it will be difficult to do.
Suzuki Honami on the sofa was probably disturbed by her movement into the house, propped herself up and looked at it a little confused, and only reacted after a while and said:
"Ah, it turned out to be Miss Aihara, you're back. Is the company's meeting over? The result? ”
"There were a lot of solutions discussed in the afternoon, but none of them worked out very well." Aihara walked over to the coffee table, put his satchel and rolled-up morning and evening journal on the coffee table, and then turned and walked to the kitchen.
While boiling water in the kitchen to make tea, she said to Suzuki in the living room:
"I think that in this case, all the solutions ultimately come down to your own attitude, Miss Suzuki."
"Miss Suzuki, I've brought back the Asahi Evening Magazine that just came out, and I think you'd better take a look at the report on it first."
She waited in the kitchen for the water to boil, and then slowly brewed the tea, and estimated that about 20 minutes later, she walked into the living room with the tea tray.
As she expected, the morning and evening issue fell in the gap between the sofa and the coffee table, and the sofa was now with a hollow and dull expression.
Looking at it from Aihara's angle, you can see part of the inside page of the Yukan, where producer Ryo and his wife are looking at the camera with a sweet smile.
Aihara walked over quietly, pushed the steaming teacup in front of Suzuki, and said in a harmonious voice:
"Miss Suzuki, you should be able to imagine this happening. As a successful media person, Mr. Da Liang could not let his reputation be tarnished. ”
"Mr. Tatsuro Hoshino on TV is an ordinary person with a mediocre career, so he can stop a truck with a speed of 60 kilometers per hour for love. And Mr. Da Liang, I think when he stopped in front of you, that taxi must have just started, right? ”
"Miss Suzuki, this is actually the difference between TV dramas and real life. As a successful actress, can't you even see through this? ”
