Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 185 The Female Cartoonist and Film Academy Appreciate the Red Carpet
In Osaka City, Yasuko Sawaguchi was wearing a dress, shooting an advertisement in front of the landmark Sun Tower in Osaka.

The brand of this advertisement is Shiseido, and the product is a seasonal cosmetic.

In addition to Yasuko Sawaguchi, there are also local models from Osaka to participate in the shooting as supporting roles.

Some of them were recommended by local agencies, and some went to modeling schools to work part-time.

After the shooting in the morning came to an end, everyone took advantage of the breaks to rest, and familiar people sat together in twos and threes.

Manager Jiatian Yuzi went to the film crew to communicate about the next shooting.

Yasuko Sawaguchi sat alone, thinking about going back to Tokyo to meet Hideki Hanyu after filming, while looking around boredly.

She is originally from Osaka, and she doesn't know how many times she has seen the Tower of the Sun, a landmark building built for the World Expo in the 70s.

While she was bored, she suddenly found some part-time modeling school students sitting around and discussing something enthusiastically.

Out of curiosity, Yasuko Sawaguchi walked over, stood by and looked inside.

She found that surrounded by the crowd was a young girl, a model school student participating in the shoot.

But at this time, the girl was showing a manuscript of a picture book to her companion.

In fact, it should be said to be a manga manuscript.

After a brief glance, Yasuko Sawaguchi found out that the picture book contained the love stories of several young people.

The graphics of the manga are very beautiful, and the style of painting is very characteristic.

The characters in the comics, regardless of gender, are all slender, handsome and beautiful, and dress fashionable and avant-garde.

No wonder these girls like it very much, and the discussions are so heated.

Yasuko Sawaguchi remembered that Hideki Hanyu also founded a manga magazine, so she tried to ask.

"Excuse me, did you draw this comic?"

When a group of acquaintances were discussing comics, an unfamiliar voice suddenly broke in, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The girl holding the manga looked up, and found that it was the heroine of today's commercial shooting.

Quickly stood up and replied, "Miss Sawaguchi, I drew it."

"May I know your name?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked.

"My name is Yazawa Ai."

"Yazawa-san, can you lend me the manga?"

"What?" Ai Yazawa was a little surprised.

She likes to draw manga on weekdays. Although she is very popular among her classmates, this is the first time a stranger wants to read it.

Actually speaking, Yasuko Sawaguchi is not a stranger to her.

When Yunshang Entertainment came to Osaka to recruit trainees last year, Yazawa Ai also participated.

But because she has no talent, she was eliminated in the first round of interviews.

Yasuko Sawaguchi was not only selected, but also became the only A-level trainee in Osaka.

Although I know that with the other party's beauty, after signing up as a trainee, it will be a matter of time before she becomes popular.

But what she didn't expect was that in such a short time, the other party had already served as the heroine of Shiseido's advertisement.

It's unbelievable that an unknown rookie can get such a resource.

"I want to see the manga you drew, can I?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked.

"can."

Ai Yazawa handed over the manga to Yasuko Sawaguchi.

"Thank you, I'll return it to you when I finish reading it." Yasuko Sawaguchi said.

However, due to sudden changes in the weather in Osaka, the filming ended early.

Yasuko Sawaguchi, who hadn't had time to watch it, had to borrow another day from Ai Yazawa.

Said that after going home to watch it at night, I will shoot it the next day and return it to Ai Yazawa.

A manga drawn by hand, Yazawa Ai didn't think that Yasuko Sawaguchi would pay any attention, so she readily agreed.

After returning home, Yasuko Sawaguchi sat in the living room and couldn't wait to watch it.

Mrs. Sawaguchi, who was watching the program on the color TV bought by her daughter, asked strangely when she saw that her daughter was reading a manga in her arms as soon as she came home.

"Why do you suddenly like reading comics?"

"It was drawn by a model who participated in the shooting today when I was filming the advertisement. I feel very good, so I borrowed it to take a look."

Hearing her daughter talking about filming commercials, Mrs. Sawaguchi glanced at the brand new big color TV and said with a smile.

"The boss of your firm is really kind to you. He arranged an advertisement with such a high salary for you when you first debuted. You must work hard in the future."

At this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi, who just finished reading the manga, heard what her mother said.

Unconsciously, I miss Hideki Hanyu again, wishing to return to Tokyo immediately after filming the commercial, and snuggle into Hideki Hanyu's arms.

"Yeah, he was really nice to me."

After Yasuko Sawaguchi finished speaking, she decided to call Hideki Hanyu, if she couldn't see anyone, it would be better to listen to Hideki Hanyu's voice.

Then she headed for her parents' bedroom, where the family phone was installed.

"What is Jingzi going to do?"

"I'll go make a call."

Mrs. Sawaguchi thought her daughter was going to talk about work, so she ignored it and concentrated on watching TV.

Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't know where Hideki Hanyu was at this time, but she knew it was right to ask someone.

That is Hideki Hanyu's assistant, Reiko Uemura.

At the same time, the headquarters of Yunyou Pictures in Tokyo.

Hideki Hanyu is sitting in the auditorium, ready to watch the advertisement for "Tama Gezi" directed by Kawauchi Chika.

In the screening hall, among the people who watched with him, there were not many Yun Shang's paintings
Only Tomoyo Kawauchi and the supervisor who assisted in the live-action part of the filming.

And Ito Shinsuke who returned from recuperation in Kanagawa, and Okada Nana who has been taking care of Ito Shinsuke.

The rest of the people are all high-level executives of Yunshang Culture.

The president of Yunshang Culture, the president of Elf Entertainment, Eri Kitahara.

Tetsuya Aragaki, technical director of Elven Entertainment, head of the hardware development department.

The head of the sales department of Elf Entertainment, former Yuan Zhensheng.

Head of Sacred Studios, Satoru Iwata.

Editor-in-Chief of "Game Base", Koji Takita.

Editor-in-Chief of "Elf Cute", Dataka City II.

And other middle and senior managers of A, B, C, D.

From the fact that Hanyu Hideki brought so many people from Yunshang Culture over, it is enough to see how much he attaches importance to this advertisement.

In addition to these people, there is also a child, Masato Sakai, who is going to attend the Neon Film Academy Awards after watching the advertisement.

The advertisement broadcast started, and everyone watched it attentively.

The commercial was not long, and three versions were filmed.

The main content is that Tamagoko's world is in crisis, and they need to find warriors to help them in the real world.

And the three roles played by the vitality girl are the warriors who save the world of Tamagoko.

Ultimately, of course, justice triumphs over evil.

At the end of the advertisement, of course, the product Tamagotchi must be introduced.

The story is corny and simple.

But the most attractive thing about this ad is not the story, but the creative combination of animation and real people.

Especially the final animated characters turned into data and drilled into the body of the electronic pet.

It was a stroke of genius.

When the lights in the screening room were turned on, Hideki Hanyu first expressed his gratitude to Tomoyo Kawauchi and the real supervisor.

"You two have worked hard, it is really a wonderful advertisement."

"President Hanyu, you're welcome. If it wasn't for the tight schedule, I could have made it better."

"It's already very good. I suggest you two buy a cute elf magazine and read it. I think it may not be long before you guys will consider making such a theatrical movie."

When Kawauchi Zhijia and the real supervisor heard this, their faces suddenly showed joy.

"I see, President Hanyu." The two replied in unison.

Especially the supervisor who was in charge of filming the live-action part was very happy.

Hirohashi Asako was called back from Ito Shinsuke's crew before, just to help shoot an advertisement, and he always felt that it was delaying his study of film shooting.

But whoever wants to help this time will become a film supervisor in a daze.

Even if you cooperate with Kawauchi Zhijia, it is better than being an assistant supervisor for others before.

The most important thing is that I have studied the combination of live-action and animation with Toka Kawauchi for so long.

Even if the leader wanted to change someone, he couldn't find someone more experienced than him.

Compared with this real person supervisor, Tomoyo Kawauchi thinks so.

To really have the opportunity to complete such an unprecedented movie in Neon, which combines live action and animation.

Then, as the first person to eat crabs, she will definitely be included in the history of neon animation.

The temptation of fame made her wish to buy a cute elf right away and study what to shoot.

Seeing the two subordinates gearing up, they looked like they were about to fight.

Hanyu Hideki was not too excited, his idea was actually very simple.

That is to use the fame of the vitality girl to drive the sales of Tuoma Gezi.

And as long as the sales volume of Tuoma Gezi is high, it can in turn help the vitality girl to increase her popularity.

Of course, after the movie is released, the influence of Vitality Girl and Tamagoko can also be used to harvest a wave of fans.

After all, with such a high popularity of Vitality Girl, it would be a pity not to make a movie.

Although Kurokawa Ohki's previous movie was played as the starring role of the vitality girl.

But the actual shooting has been changed beyond recognition, it is completely Akina Nakamori's one-man show.

Just as he was speaking, a group of people from Yunshang Culture had already walked over.

The editor-in-chief of "Spirit Cute" Otaka Ichiji heard Hanyu Hideki's last words, and couldn't wait to speak.

"I think Chairman Hanyu's idea is great. The story of Tamagoko coming to the world can be linked with the vitality girl later. The movie you mentioned is the theatrical version of Tamagoko's manga."

The more this guy talked, the more excited he became, "After the theatrical version, we can continue to launch TV animations. With the drive of these two, the sales of our magazines and booklets will definitely reach another level."

"The editor-in-chief Dagao's idea is very good. For the image authorization of Vitality Girl, please contact Yunshang Yineng, the work of theatrical version and TV animation, just contact Yunshang Animation directly."

Seeing that his subordinates have such strong subjective initiative, they have arranged a series of plans.

Hideki Hanyu happily became the shopkeeper.

When Dataka City Er heard the words, he couldn't wait to find Kawauchi Zhijia and Zhenren to supervise.

The two were also very interested in this, and the three of them immediately had a heated discussion.

Hideki Hanyu then asked the others, "How do you feel about this advertisement?"

"It's very interesting. It looks like Hanyu-san's idea." Eri Kitahara praised it.

Takita Koji said, "I think it can be broadcast at the exhibition."

Hideki Hanyu nodded, "These three commercials will not only be broadcast on the Fairy Entertainment booth, but I will broadcast them together with other product introduction videos at the press conference at the main booth."

Hideki Hanyu looked at Maemoto Makoto, the head of the sales department.

"Mae Yuan-san, communicate with Dentsu, and I'll leave it to you to arrange the TV station's broadcast schedule. I only have one request, that is, after the opening ceremony of the exhibition, this advertisement will be covered with neon lights."

"Yes, I understand." Qian Yuan Zhensheng replied.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki found Masato Sakai sitting next to him.

He smiled and said, "Don't we have a potential customer here, ask his opinion."

After he finished speaking, he called Masato Sakai over and asked, "Masato, what do you think of this advertisement?"

Sakai Masato nodded and said, "It's very interesting. If this electronic pet is on the market, I want one too."

Then he added, "It's just too cute, like a girl's toy."

When everyone heard this, they were all amused.

Tetsuya Aragaki and Satoshi Iwata, who had been silent all this time, looked at each other.

As developers of the second generation of electronic pets, they know that more mature products are already brewing.

……

After the trial viewing of the commercial was over, everyone left one after another.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hanyu Hideki called Ito Shinsuke to take his girlfriend and Sakai Masato to prepare.

Tonight, I will also participate in the Neon Film Academy Awards.

But when he left the screening room and was about to prepare, he was stopped by his assistant Uemura Reiko.

"Ms. Hanyu, that Miss Sawaguchi called you several times from Osaka and said she would wait for your call back."

Uemura Reiko said and handed a note with a phone number to Hanyu Hideki, "This is her phone number."

"I see."

There is a woman in love waiting for his call back, Hideki Hanyu will definitely not be able to leave now.

Yasuko Sawaguchi said that, if he didn't call back, the other party might really wait forever.

Hanyu Hideki returned to the office, looked at the number on the note, and couldn't remember how many times he called Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Raising a clingy woman is a little troublesome.

He picked up the phone and dialed back according to the number, and it was answered quickly there.

Then Yasuko Sawaguchi's excited voice came, "Is it Hanyu-kun?"

"It's me, why is Jingzi looking for me in such a hurry?"

Seemingly hearing something wrong in Hideki Hanyu's tone, Yasuko Sawaguchi hurriedly apologized.

"Did I interrupt Hanyu-kun's work? Sorry, I don't know..."

"I'm not working right now, but I'm going to attend the Neon Film Academy Awards soon."

Hanyu Hideki interrupted the other party's apology.

It's different from Koizumi Kyoko's little goblin.

Yasuko Sawaguchi looks like a mixed race, but her personality is very traditional.

I am very sensitive to his attitude, if his tone is slightly wrong, I will feel that I have done something wrong, and I will start to apologize.

If Hanyu Hideki didn't stop him, he might cry again.

"Sorry, I forgot that there is an Academy Awards ceremony today."

Yasuko Sawaguchi apologized again, but because Hanyu Hideki interrupted her speech just now, she said in a slightly aggrieved tone.

"I just miss Hanyu-kun, I want to hear Hanyu-kun's voice."

Hideki Hanyu was touched by the girl's words, "I miss you too, we can meet when Yasuko's commercial is finished and I return to Tokyo."

Yasuko Sawaguchi heard that Hideki Hanyu also missed her, and the grievance in her heart disappeared immediately.

She suddenly remembered Yazawa Ai's manga, and hurriedly told Hanyu Hideki.

"Hanyu-kun, when I was filming a commercial today, I met a model named Yazawa Ai. She draws very good manga. Didn't Hanyu-kun create a manga magazine? I think..."

Hearing Yasuko Sawaguchi talking again, Hideki Hanyu was trying to find an excuse to hang up the phone.

After all, if you don't leave, you will be late for the Neon Film Academy Awards.

But when he heard the name Yazawa Ai, his eyes lit up.

Ai Yazawa?
Could it be the famous neon female cartoonist who created "NANA" in later generations?

The other party's masterpiece "NANA" itself is very popular with female readers.

Later, it was remade into a live-action movie, starring Mika Nakajima and Aoi Miyazaki, and it was translated into "Nana" in China, which is very popular among fans.

But it is a pity that because Yazawa Ai suffers from mental illness, the manga "NANA" has not been completed.

I heard that the cause of the illness was the death of a cat I raised.

"How old is Yazawa Ai?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"I didn't ask about this, but she is a student of the Osaka Model School. I like her style of painting very much. The characters are beautiful and the shape is fashionable."

After hearing these words, Hanyu Hideki felt that it should be that Yazawa Ai.

After all, it can basically match up with the information in his memory.

"Can you still contact this Yazawa Ai?"

"Her comic book is still in my hand, and I will return it to her when we shoot tomorrow."

"Then ask Jingzi to do me a favor."

"Please tell me, Hanyu-kun." Yasuko Sawaguchi felt very happy that she could help Hideki Hanyu.

"Tell her, if you want to become a cartoonist, contact my comic magazine."

Hanyu Hideki told Yasuko Sawaguchi the phone number of the elf Cute.

After finishing speaking, I did not forget to emphasize, "If she is willing to come to Tokyo to try, we will be responsible for her transportation expenses."

"Okay, I understand, don't worry Hanyu-kun. I will definitely tell her every word."

"That's it. I'm going to prepare to participate in the film academy awards. We'll talk when Yasuko returns to Tokyo."

"Goodbye Hanyu-kun."

……

Hanyu Hideki hung up the phone and hurried to the place where he was doing styling.

After changing into the suit that was stored in advance, and after finishing styling, he hurriedly joined Ito Shinsuke.

There are not many people participating in the Neon Film Academy Award for Yun Shang Pictures this time.

Except for Hideki Hanyu and Masato Sakai, only Shinsuke Ito brought his girlfriend Nana Okada.

For this awards ceremony, Yun On Pictures specially rented a stretched luxury car and packed them all in.

Hanyu Hideki, who rushed over in a hurry, was ridiculed by Ito Nobusuke as soon as he got into the car.

"I thought Hanyu-san waited so long because he wanted to bring his girlfriend along."

"I'm not like Ito-san, who has such a beautiful girlfriend to accompany me."

Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly, and praised Okada Nana.

This idol who became popular in the 70s is very beautifully dressed today.

As he grows older, the immaturity brought by the other party's baby face gradually fades away, revealing a mature charm.

Pair it with a blue slim evening dress with sequins to show off its tall figure.

Nana Okada's appearance today reminded Hideki Hanyu of a cross talk line.

'Just to my sister-in-law, Ito-san, you brother, I'm committed. '

Ito Hideki saw Hanyu Hideki smiling slightly at his girlfriend, who dodged her eyes in embarrassment, and immediately became jealous.

He pulled his girlfriend behind him, glared at Hideki Hanyu and said, "You brat, don't discharge indiscriminately."

"When did I discharge, I just smiled."

"You can't even laugh."

Nobusuke Ito thought to himself, you kid don't even look at your own appearance, so why not just laugh around.

"Okay." Hanyu Hideki spread his hands helplessly, his expression pretending to be serious, "Ito-san, do you think this is okay?"

His pretentious performance made Okada Nana and Sakai Masato laugh.

Nobusuke Ito knew that Hideki Hanyu must not be allowed to "play" anymore, so he hurriedly changed the topic to the beginning.

"Doesn't Hanyu-san have a place to bring a female companion? Why? I can't choose one of the two girlfriends."

Hideki Hanyu's matter, the circle can't cover it up, let alone his good friend.

As a shareholder, Hanyu Hideki asked Koizumi Kyoko for an advertisement, and paid the bill alone, how could he not know about it as a shareholder.

Regarding the matter with Yasuko Sawaguchi, he was the crew supervisor. Even if he was injured at the time, there was no shortage of people to tell him afterwards.

"What two girlfriends, Ito-san, don't talk nonsense, there are children in the car."

Hanyu Hideki used Masato Sakai as an excuse.

But Sakai Masato said with an expression that I knew everything, "Brother Hideki, I know what a girlfriend is. Are Brother Hideki's two girlfriends beautiful?"

"Master, please don't listen to Supervisor Ito's nonsense. You are still young and can't handle women's affairs. The most important thing now is to study hard."

Hanyu Hideki persuaded earnestly.

"Hanyu-san, the brats these days mature very early, you can't fool them with your words."

"Brother Xiushu, I actually have a girl I like, but I don't know if she likes me or not."

"Is that so, it's absolutely fine for you to ask Hanyu-san about this kind of thing."

"What do you mean it's okay to ask me?"

"No one in Quan Nihong knows the name of Hanyu-san's romantic talent."

……

Nana Okada next to her watched the two big men bickering for a while, and taught Masato Sakai how to chase girls for a while, and was so teased that she covered her mouth and laughed.

Okada Nana also knows about Hanyu Hideki's relationship history.

Even the Takarazuka actress who hid the most, as Ito Shinsuke's girlfriend, knows it.

Of course she heard about the recent incidents of Kyoko Koizumi and Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Because of Ito Shinsuke's relationship, she had contact with Hanyu Hideki many times.

From a female point of view, she finds Hanyu Hideki to be an attractive but dangerous man.

Charm comes from talent, appearance, wealth, and the feeling of being different from neon traditional men, not deliberately pretending, and treating women with equal respect.

The reason for the danger is that she can feel that the heart of Hanyu Hideki, the prodigal son, seems to never stop for a woman.

She asked herself, if she had the opportunity to be with Hanyu Hideki before she fell in love with Ito Shinsuke.

Will it be like Kyoko Koizumi and Yasuko Sawaguchi who rushed forward regardless of the outcome?

The final answer may be the same as those two girls.

After all, this kind of man with mixed charm and danger is too much for women to be addicted to.

……

In the past, the Neon Film Academy Awards were held at NHK TV studios.

But this year it changed places.

The new Takanawa Prince Hotel, built in Minato in 1982, not only provided sponsorship, but also provided the venue free of charge through the relationship of the organizer Dentsu.

Therefore, in Hideki Hanyu's memory, starting from this year, the Neon Film Academy Awards will be held here unless there is any special impact.

The stretched luxury car they rented drove to the street in front of the hotel when they found that the road was closed.

Only the cars of invited guests can enter.

After taking out the invitation letter and successfully entering, he started queuing up under the guidance of the staff, waiting for the live TV broadcast to start.

However, they arrived late, and it didn't take long before they were notified that the live TV broadcast had begun.

Under the guidance of the staff, they drove towards the entrance of the hotel.

The Neon Film Academy Awards, founded in 1978, have been held for five times, and this year is the sixth.

Whether it is the name, the award setting, or the award ceremony, it is completely copied from America's Oscars.

Therefore, it is also called the Neon Oscars.

Since it is the Oscars, of course the red carpet link at the beginning is indispensable.

As Hideki Hanyu's limousine stopped in front of the red carpet, staff came up to help them open the door.

Remind them, by the way, not to linger too long on the red carpet.

Hanyu Hideki straightened his clothes and got out of the car first.

As a result, I was dazzled by a series of flashing lights as soon as I came down.

Then I heard reporters yelling at him in various ways.

He ignored the reporter, and hurriedly told Masato Saki who was following him, "Low your head, don't look either way."

Sakai Masato lowered his head obediently, without looking left or right, and finally he was not caught by the flash.

At this time, Ito Shinsuke also pulled Okada Nana out of the car.

Compared with Ito Shinsuke, who was a little nervous, Okada Nana was also a popular idol after all, and this kind of battle was no surprise.

But when she started to walk on the red carpet, she heard fans and reporters shouting at Hideki Hanyu from both sides.

It was the first time to see Hideki Hanyu's popularity with his own eyes.

Even though he is a writer, why does he feel that he is more popular than a popular idol?

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or a special arrangement by the organizers.

Nana Okada saw that walking in front of them was the crew of "Kamata March", the hottest winner of this year's award.

The leader is Haruki Kadokawa, the producer of "Kamata March" and the boss of Kadokawa Pictures.

Kadokawa Haruki originally wanted to cooperate with Toei in this movie, but Toei didn't like it, so he finally cooperated with Shochiku.

Walking with Kadokawa Haruki is the famous supervisor Fukasaku Kinji.

This famous supervisor from Dongying is a well-known old gangster in the circle.

Known for his gangster movies, he once again proved his strength after winning a box office of 17 billion yen with "Kamata March".

Immediately behind the two of them were the screenplay writer Fairy Tsukasa and several leading actors of the movie.

Hideki Hanyu's ex-girlfriend Keiko Matsuzaka was among them.

Okada Nana heard from friends in the circle that Fukasaku Kinji, an old gangster in the circle, has been pursuing this Shochiku's leading female role.

But it seems that it has not succeeded, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Hideki Hanyu.

Ahead, the crew of "Kamata March" walked the red carpet well.

I am enjoying the cheers from the fans and the questioning from the reporters.

Suddenly, it was discovered that the direction of the voices on both sides seemed to have changed.

Everyone was shouting behind them.

Sudden cold reception, the crew of "Kamata March" couldn't help but look back.

Then it was discovered who stole their thunder.

The well-known writer, Hideki Hanyu.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu, the crew of "Kamata March" felt that fans and reporters could not be blamed for "changing their minds".

No wonder, Hideki Hanyu is so charming today.

A navy blue slim-fit suit, a handsome face wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a straight figure, elegant and chic, and a personable demeanor.

No wonder the female movie fans next to her shouted hysterically.

After all, with just one glance, even Keiko Matsuzaka's ex-girlfriend's gaze became complicated.
