As all the spotlights on the catwalk went out, everyone in the command room immediately burst into cheers and began to celebrate the success of the TGC Autumn and Winter Show.

"You've worked hard, I've asked the editor-in-chief of Kaneda to arrange dinner, and everyone can go and have a drink after it's over."

"Long live the president!"

"Thank you, President!"

……

To the cheering crowd, Hideki Hanyu, who is the president, said this.

Then, in the sound of everyone's thanks, he took the initiative to withdraw from the command room.

As part of the success of the employees, there is no need for Hideki Hanyu to continue to participate.

After all, for him, it is just a small part of the industrial expansion, and the TGC fashion show is a career that many subordinates struggle for all their lives.

TGC's influence coefficient has become larger, the audience coverage has become wider, and the number of participating brands has increased, and every data improvement is just a number for him.

For subordinates, it is a great breakthrough and a new height in the career.

Say something that Hideki Hanyu doesn't want to admit.

Now that he is in a high position, it is becoming more and more difficult for him to empathize with the employees at the bottom.

It has nothing to do with morality, nothing to do with good and evil, nothing to do with character.

It was only because of wealth and circumstance that his perception was slowly changed.

……

The TGC autumn and winter show ended, and the audience and guests left one after another.

Naturally, the guests in the infield have an exclusive passage to leave.

The little transparent Li Jiaxin walked among a bunch of celebrities, listening to the people around her chatting with each other, only to feel that her existence was very abrupt and out of place with the surroundings.

Although Leslie Cheung just chatted with her kindly and helped her relax, it was impossible to take care of her all the time.

Fortunately, at this time, the assistant arranged by Hanyu Hideki found her.

"Miss Li, please come with me."

Li Jiaxin asked, "Are you going to see Mr.?" ”

Faced with the beauty's question, the assistant did not answer, but just took Li Jiaxin with him.

Soon, I was backstage, in the lounge where the model was.

It was a mess when the catwalk ended, with some models already starting to leave and others still tidying up.

Li Jiaxin, who is full of big names and dresses exquisitely, is still out of place here.

But as she was taken to a break room and saw Deng Jiaming inside, as well as the two companions on this trip to Tokyo, that feeling gradually disappeared.

And with her appearance, the expressions of the three people in front of her were also different.

Deng Jiaming smiled, "Miss Li is so beautiful today, I saw it in the background just now, just now you were sitting in the star area of the first row, and you chatted with Leslie Cheung, what did you say." ”

In addition to Deng Jiaming, the other two young female models did not say a word.

The eyes they looked at Li Jiaxin were also complicated, and the popular description was envy, jealousy, and eager to replace them.

After all, not long ago, Li Jiaxin was the same as them, a model standing on the catwalk.

But in just one night, Li Jiaxin was already sitting in the first row watching the show, chatting and laughing with big-name stars such as Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau.

This kind of abrupt change in identity, as well as the gap in status, is strange for ordinary people to be able to understand and accept.

Li Jiaxin was originally psychologically out of place because of the change of identity, and wondered why Hideki Hanyu wanted her assistant to bring her to see Deng Jiaming.

But now after feeling the eyes of the two women, my heart was instantly filled with a new emotion.

It was an indescribable pride under the envy and jealousy of acquaintances.

Let her vanity get an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Li Jiaxin raised her neck and replied to Deng Jiaming in a casual tone.

"It's nothing, just a casual chat with Mr. Leslie Cheung."

As soon as these words came out, Li Jiaxin really saw that the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the two former companions were even stronger.

And she didn't notice that Hideki Hanyu's assistant had walked up to Deng Jiaming and whispered to Deng Jiaming.

"The president told you to watch her."

When Deng Jiaming heard this, he nodded slightly, signaling that he understood.

……

Shirokanedai, the original house of Hideki Hanyu, is now the residence of Akina Nakamori.

In the parking space in the courtyard, the brand new Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was parked there, and it seemed to be shaking with a slight regularity.

The fact that a nearly five-ton vehicle can make such a movement is enough to prove that something extraordinary seems to be going on inside the car.

I don't know how long it took, but the Rolls-Royce suddenly stopped.

Immediately after, such a conversation sounded in the car.

"It's all Hanyu-kun, this is my newly bought dress."

"Huh? It doesn't seem like I took the initiative? ”

"Not really!"

"Hehe, it's already at home, but Mingcai is in such a hurry."

"Crush the sticker! Don't say it! ”

"Akina who talks like this, she really looks like a girl in Kansai."

"Hanyu-kun always cares about some strange things, my clothes were torn by you, how do I get off the car now."

"Of course I'm going to carry you down."

"Alas!"

In the exclamation of the little fat dish, the scumbag stopped her waist and hugged her out of the car and strode towards the house.

On Akina Nakamori, she is covered with a blazer by Hideki Hanyu.

But from the few details that are not covered, the snow-white skin of the beauty can be faintly seen.

Open the door, walk into the house, close the door with one foot, and then throw the little chubby dish in your arms into the cloakroom.

As soon as Hideki Hanyu, who had finished doing everything, changed into slippers, he heard Akina Nakamori talking to herself in the cloakroom.

"Which one should I wear, it seems like I haven't bought a new dress for a long time......"

"I'll show you."

The scumbag walked into the cloakroom, followed by him in the cloakroom, "I think it's better not to wear it for the time being." ”

"Hmmm......"

And then.

There were some strange noises again, and they rang out in the cloakroom.

After a long time, Hideki Hanyu, who had changed into casual clothes at home, walked out of the cloakroom.

Akina Nakamori was lying on his back, biting his ears and complaining while hammering the scumbag with his small fist.

"Hanyu-kun is so annoying! I'm dying of exhaustion. ”

Hideki Hanyu enjoyed the "massage" of the small fist, squinting his eyes and playing with the taste, "I won't come to you after that." ”

The beauty immediately said, "Don't! ”

"Alright, come down, I have something else to tell you."

As Hideki Hanyu spoke, he patted the beauty behind him and sat on the sofa in the small hall.

Akina Nakamori listened to Hideki Hanyu and climbed off the man's back, but instead fell back into her lover's arms.

And also adjusted a comfortable posture and turned on the TV with his hands.

That posture is obviously going to be watching TV while chatting.

"Say it."

The TV screen lights up, and the "Star Creation" channel of satellite TV on the cloud appears.

When Hanyu Hideki found out, he asked curiously, "I thought only Kyoko liked to watch this show, but I didn't expect Akina to like it too." ”

"I don't like it, this is actually the last time today's son came to me and tuned to this channel, she said that next month is the graduation period of the division creation camp, and she should observe carefully and sign potential graduates."

As soon as Akina Nakamori said this, Hideki Hanyu was also interested.

He asked curiously, "Didn't she say which students she liked?" ”

Akina Nakamori shook her head, "I don't know, after all, I haven't paid attention to star creation for a long time, but she seems to want to pick some female students." ”

"Female student." Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised, "But the production bureau of Cloud Arts and Satellite TV has already confirmed that there will be no girls' creation camp next year." ”

Akina Nakamori explained, "Today's son knows, she said that because it was not held, she had to sign a female student, because it would be out of print." ”

"Hehe, she really has an idea."

Hideki Hanyu commented, but some words didn't say Ali.

The reason why cloud entertainment and satellite TV stopped holding girls' creation camps is because through surveys, it was found that the market for female idols is becoming saturated, and the market audience is gradually declining.

Koizumi Kyoko chose to enter the women's idol market at this time, which is really the same as entering the forty-ninth year.

But it doesn't matter, how can newcomers grow up when they enter the industry without suffering a loss.

And with Zhou Fang Yuxiong's burning system, even if he fails, he won't lose too much.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki lowered his head and pinched Akina Nakamori's face, "Do you want to join Kyoko and help your firm sign a few graduates." ”

"I'd better forget it, I'm too busy with my own work, Miwa Yoshida, who was signed before, recently met a bassist named Masato Nakamura, saying that they were going to form a band together, and I didn't have time to meet."

Akina Nakamori seemed to like Hanyu Hideki pinching her face, and gently pressed the man's big hand with her hand, so that the warm feeling stayed on her face and never left.

Masato Nakamura?

That smiling Winnie the Pooh.

HIDEKI HANYU THOUGHT TO HIMSELF, IS THIS THE RHYTHM THAT DREAMS COME TRUE IS GOING TO FORM?

Originally, Miwa Yoshida and Masato Nakamura met in 1987, but after the formation of the band Dreams Come True, they have been honing in the underground music scene.

really debuted and released his first album, but it didn't take until 1989.

In this plane, Hideki Hanyu has the power to change all that.

But after thinking about it, he didn't plan to do it.

The band is different from idols, without a long time of running-in and experience, it is impossible to achieve a tacit understanding that is enough to debut.

Thinking of this, he revealed something to Akina Nakamori.

"Most of the executives of Cloud Entertainment have judged that the next stage of the neon music scene, the band should perform relatively strongly, in fact, other record companies are also trying to do this. You should be able to feel it too. ”

Akina Nakamori nodded, "Yes, in the offline performances of LIVEHOUSE, the band is obviously more popular, and the idols are getting less and less noticed. ”

"Because of the success of star creation, cloud satellite TV is preparing a new plan, in conjunction with major neon record companies, to create a band talent show, which is expected to be launched in 1989."

The idea of satellite TV on the cloud came from Hideki Hanyu's proposal.

And his reference is naturally the "Band Paradise" program of TBS TV in his previous life.

With the general trend of band popularity, it is naturally impossible for cloud entertainment to eat alone, so it has become inevitable to unite with other record companies.

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Akina Nakamori said with some emotion.

"When the show is broadcast, you can let Miwa Yoshida go to the show, and ...... when the time comes"

And as soon as she said her words, she found that Hanyu Hideki was holding her face and looking at her intently.

Facing her lover's eyes, Akina Nakamori's fair face flushed slightly.

Asked softly, "What are Hanyu-kun looking at?" ”

"Of course it's looking at my Akina."

Just now, Hideki Hanyu suddenly went to look at Akina Mori seriously.

Only then did I find that the baby fat on the beauty's face had quietly disappeared.

Although because of his request, Akina Nakamori is not as thin as in his previous life, but the beauty who has faded from her girlish temperament has completely revealed her cold and moving, gentle and charming characteristics.

Looking at the beautiful face close at hand, Hideki Hanyu was heartbroken.

With their eyes met, he slowly lowered his head.

"Hanyu-kun, what did you want to say to me just now?"

"That's not important......"

When the words fell, the scumbag had already kissed the beauty on the lips.

……

The next morning.

The dazzling sunlight wakes up the sleeping Akina Nakamori.

The beauty pulled the quilt to cover her restless sleep and exposed her body.

The sound of clattering footsteps from far to near.

Hideki Hanyu, who was dressed in a formal suit, walked in, looked down and pinched Chubby's face.

"Now that you're awake, let's go downstairs to eat, the chef is ready."

Akina Nakamori asked, "Is Hanyu-kun going out?" ”

Hideki Hanyu explains, "I went to a friend's book launch. ”

Akina Nakamori said, "I don't have a job today. ”

Hanyu Hideki smiled and asked, "What, does Akina want to go too?" ”

"I'm not suitable for that kind of occasion, but I can wait for you outside, and then you can stay with me when it's over, okay?"

Akina Nakamori understands that being able to let Hideki Hanyu participate in the book launch is definitely an important figure in the neon literary world.

It is very rude for her to appear rashly as an artist without invitation, and it will cause criticism from the media and the public if she is not careful.

Hanyu Hideki looked at his watch and said, "Of course it's fine, but it's too late, I need to go first, you can come to me with my assistant after breakfast." ”

"Hanyu-kun is so nice."

When Akina Nakamori heard this, she happily got up and hugged Hideki Hanyu's arm, not caring about her spring light leaking out.

When the scumbag saw this, he could only flash first.

After all, if he stays any longer, he should not be able to control himself.

Although beauty is good, business is equally important.

……

Auditorium of the Hongo Campus of Todai.

Haruki Murakami, who has returned from a sojourn in Greece, is about to hold a book launch for his new book "Norwegian Wood".

On the empty stage, there was only a standing poster of the new book.

The protagonist hasn't appeared yet, but the audience is already full of people.

There are invited book lovers, related media, and a part of the students of the University.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the host appeared on the stage first.

After the host finished the opening, Haruki Murakami was invited to the stage.

It is different from the hot scene where Hideki Hanyu held a similar event and was comparable to an idol as soon as he appeared.

Haruki Murakami's appearance only made the audience burst into applause.

Next, it's time to get into the formalities.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a press conference, but in fact, it is more suitable to say that it is a symposium.

Haruki Murakami chatted casually with the host about the story in the creative process, communicated with book fans from time to time, and occasionally gave interviews to reporters.

Backstage, Hideki Hanyu, who had already arrived, couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a scene.

"This is what a writer should be like in public, and every time I appear, it always feels like an idol is in a concert."

"Hehe......"

Hanyu Hideki's words made a woman next to him laugh.

The woman is not a bystander, it is Haruki Murakami's wife, Yoko Murakami.

Unlike the short hair style when she was older in the future, Yoko Murakami at this time still had jet-black shawl long hair.

She is both Haruki Murakami's wife and a photographer.

The illustrations in Haruki Murakami's essay collection and the photo album of her overseas expatriates were all taken by Yoko Murakami herself.

Of course, it also includes the letter sent by Haruki Murakami to Hideki Hanyu, which records the photos of the scenery along the way.

However, after Yoko Murakami finished laughing, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Hanyu Hideki, "I'm sorry, I was too rude." ”

In fact, the one who has a good relationship with Hanyu Hideki is her husband Haruki Murakami, and she doesn't meet Hanyu Hideki very often.

But I don't know why, after meeting Hideki Hanyu.

But she can feel a different affinity in Hanyu Hideki than she imagined.

It also made her ignore the etiquette that she should pay attention to on weekdays.

"It's okay, in fact, I also want to thank Mrs. Murakami, those photos are so beautiful that I want to travel with Murakami-san."

"Thank you Hanyu-san for the compliment."

The two of them said this, but they heard the host book on the stage.

"Today, a special guest came to the scene to ...... for the writer Murakami"

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu straightened the hem of his suit.

"It's my turn."

"Please." Yoko Murakami stretched out her hand.

Hanyu Hideki nodded at Yoko Murakami, then took something from his assistant's hand and strode out to the stage of the auditorium.

The moment he appeared, there was an uproar in the audience.

Everyone didn't expect that Hideki Hanyu would appear here.

At the same time, Haruki Murakami, who didn't know that Hideki Hanyu would come, changed the expression on his face from the doubts when he was introduced by the host to a smile after seeing the person who came.

Get up and catch up with Hideki Hanyu.

Instead of shaking hands, the two hugged each other.

The sympathy between friends is immediately displayed in the eyes of everyone, and there is no need for any words to describe it.

After the two sat down again, the host smiled and asked, "Writer Murakami probably didn't expect Hanyu writer to come." ”

Haruki Murakami replied, "I really didn't expect that although we were in constant contact, it was a long time ago that we met. ”

The host asked Haruki Murakami, "How do you contact each other on weekdays?" ”

Haruki Murakami said, "I mainly write letters, and occasionally make phone calls, and although Hanyu-san is more than a decade younger than me, he has a special kind of harmony in his perception of life." ”

When the host heard this answer, he looked at Haruki Murakami and Hideki Hanyu with some surprise, and said as if jokingly, "On the surface, the two writers should not be the same type." ”

Haruki Murakami shook his head.

"Appearance is never the criterion for judging a person, and I can feel that Hanyu-san has a loneliness in his heart that is different from me, but it is the same, and he is outside of this era."

As soon as Haruki Murakami said this, not to mention the host on stage, even the media reporters, book lovers and students in the audience showed expressions of disbelief.

Hideki Hanyu...... Loneliness outside the times?

They only wondered if Haruki Murakami had lived overseas for too long, and they hadn't seen some reports of neon.

The lace stories around Hideki Hanyu and the rumors in the market are enough for the media to help Hideki Hanyu publish a book.

Such a merry and talented man, a super-rich man, will be lonely in his heart?

At this time, Hideki Hanyu, who saw that the atmosphere was a little strange, took the initiative to pick up the microphone and said in a joking tone.

"Haha, in fact, Murakami-san is right, I've always been quite lonely, for example, when I run to the hot springs, I like to be the only (male) person."

Hanyu Hideki made a pun and ridiculed his playboy character by the way, which immediately caused laughter from the audience.

The moderator also sensed something, and immediately changed the target of the question to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu writer, how long have you known Murakami writer?"

Hideki Hanyu replied, "It's been four years, and it was at a salon held in the Spring and Autumn Festival of Literature and Art, when I failed to win the Naoki Award, so I complained about Chairman Tsukamoto of the award committee with Murakami-san. ”

Haha –

Hideki Hanyu's deliberate tone once again made the scene laugh.

Everyone seems to be able to think of the two unlucky people who were not treated by the Naoki Award, hiding in the corner of the Literary Spring and Autumn Salon, and they were indignant together.

Even if Haruki Murakami is not like that kind of person, these words are so credible when they come out of the mouth of a young man like Hideki Hanyu.

And, so interesting.

After the host saw that the interview with Hideki Hanyu was more interesting than Haruki Murakami, and it could also liven up the atmosphere of the scene, he wanted to continue the interview with Hideki Hanyu.

But at this time, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand and said, "It's a bean sack." ”

"Huh?" The host was a little confused.

Then I saw Hideki Hanyu from behind a dark thing, boxy, and tied with a ribbon for gifts, tied with a bow in the middle.

"I'm here to congratulate Murakami-san on the release of his new book, so let's give a gift before chatting."

As Hideki Hanyu spoke, he handed the gift in his hand to Haruki Murakami.

The host looked in his eyes and asked with some curiosity.

"Hanyu writer is convenient to reveal, what is your gift to Murakami writer? I believe that the friends in the audience are also very curious. ”

Hideki Hanyu looked at Haruki Murakami, who received the gift, "This is a gift for Murakami-san, and it should be up to him to decide." ”

The moderator turned to look at Haruki Murakami.

Haruki Murakami asked Hideki Hanyu, "Is it a gift that can be said?" ”

Hideki Hanyu immediately said, "Don't worry, it's definitely not something strange. ”

"Then it's okay, Hanyu-san just say it."

Although Haruki Murakami said this, he carefully put the gift on the table next to him, and had no intention of opening it now.

And after Hanyu Hideki got permission, he said into the microphone.

"It's The Beatles' song record, Eleanor Rigby, released in 1966, which should be a studio master to be exact, but something went wrong during production and it didn't make it to the official release."

Neon people's love for the Beatles is extraordinary, and can even be described as obsession, especially among the so-called celebrities.

Karuizawa, the summer resort of the neon locust room, has been sought after by many "literary and artistic" people because it is the place where John Lennon and Yoko Ono fell in love and loves to vacation.

Noshinobu Sasayama, a photographer who shoots body art, was also regarded as a "master" for shooting photo albums of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Examples of this Beatles' influence on neon abound.

Therefore, when Hanyu Hideki said his gift, everyone in the audience exclaimed in a low voice, and the host also asked in a trembling tone.

"Doesn't that mean that this so-called master is out of print that is not available on the market?"

Hideki Hanyu nodded, "Sort of." ”

At this time, even Haruki Murakami was a little surprised.

Not to mention the value, the rarity of this master disc alone is enough to make fans who like the Beatles steal their heads.

The host asked, "How did Hanyu get this record?" ”

"The process of getting it is actually very simple, and it was given to me by a friend I met when I was awarded the medal in London last year."

It was said that it was given by a friend, but in fact, when he was investing in real estate in the West End, a seller happened to participate in the recording of many Beatles records that year, and Hanyu Hideki found this out-of-print master in his store, so he spent some money to buy it.

It's just that he doesn't want to directly expose his relationship with the British investment consortium, so he uses his friend as an excuse.

And at this time, his answer continued.

"At the beginning of the year, when Murakami was talking to me about Norwegian forests, he mentioned that this poem Eleanor Rigby appeared in his book, and I thought it was a good gift for today."

When Hideki Hanyu's answer fell, Haruki Murakami immediately said, "Thank you Hanyu-san." ”

From this gift, Haruki Murakami also felt the intentions of Hideki Hanyu, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Although everyone present was surprised by the gift, today is the launch of the new book, so it will be over as soon as the point is over.

Next, the moderator moved on to bring the conversation back to the new book.

As a writer friend, Hideki Hanyu was inevitably asked some related questions, such as how to evaluate the book Norwegian Forests, etc.

For this Haruki Murakami is famous in later generations, especially among literary and artistic youth, but it has different evaluations, Hanyu Hideki often does not answer directly.

He would only smile brightly with that handsome face, and then say this in the obsessive eyes of the schoolgirls in the audience.

"As Murakami-san just said, appearance is not the criterion for evaluating a person, and I think many people find it hard to believe that Murakami-san would create such delicate emotional ...... compared to my somewhat noisy works."

In the host's questions, Murakami's answers, and Hanyu Hideki's eloquent conversation, the press conference lasted until more than twelve o'clock.

The book lovers and students at the scene were very satisfied, after all, in addition to Haruki Murakami, they also saw the appearance of Hideki Hanyu, a popular author.

Media reporters are equally happy, after all, as long as Hideki Hanyu appears, there will be no shortage of audiences for the report.

And whether it is Haruki Murakami's evaluation of Hideki Hanyu or the gift given by Hideki Hanyu, it is very good news material.

Everyone can be described as "full of loads".

Hideki Hanyu also returned to the backstage with Haruki Murakami.

For the first time, Yoko Murakami raised the camera in her hand and asked Hideki Hanyu, "I took some photos of you just now, can you put them in the album?" ”

Hanyu shrugged with a smile, "What's wrong with that." ”

At this time, Yoko Murakami said again, "Oh yes, a beautiful girl is coming to you." ”

Hanyu Hideki immediately thought that what Yoko Murakami was talking about should be Akina Nakamori.

He jokingly replied, "She's here to invite us to dinner." ”
