Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 269 Win?

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

“Good luck with your debut!!!”

"I wish you the most popular talent show!"

“I wish you good health!”

Soon, several people sat around the square table, and the juice and beer glasses clinked against each other.

Although the dishes cooked by Xia Fan could not be said to be masterpieces of the master class, they were still delicious and worthy of the identity of the second-generation chef of "Wynn Chinese Restaurant". Everyone ate with gusto.

"Come to think of it, are Xiao Hanami and Xiaoyi also artists like Xia Jun?"

After they got a little familiar with each other, Xia's mother smiled as she picked up food for the two girls, as if she was feeding her own daughters.

She and Xia's father are foreigners who came to District 11 as adults to make a living. Their cultural circle has remained in Longguo for many years. No matter whether it is TV series, movies or news, they all watch them in Longguo language.

Therefore, to the entertainment industry in District 11, they are the real “outsiders”.

Although they have always heard Xia Fan say that he is filming commercials, writing songs, guest-starring in TV dramas, and is now participating in some talent shows, his parents actually have no idea what exactly he is doing.

"I... I'm not as good at everything as Xia Jun. I'm just a newcomer who just debuted... I can only achieve this little bit of success now, thanks to Xia Fan's help..."

"Ms. Horie is the truly amazing one..."

Hoshina Hanami swallowed the Peking duck in her mouth and explained timidly, but when she thought about how Horie Tsubasa didn't seem to be active publicly as a voice actor, she stopped herself from talking.

"I have been using the stage name 'Kurokawa Tsubasa' and have been active as a singer and voice actor. If I have the opportunity after graduation, I would like to continue developing in this field."

Gently putting down his chopsticks, Horie Tsubasa said calmly.

"Oh?"

Xia Fan glanced at her with some concern.

This seemed to be the first time that Horie Tsubasa admitted his identity as "Kurokawa Tsubasa" in front of other people.

There was some huge change in mentality here that he was unaware of.

"Pfft... Wh, what... Miss Horie, is she the popular voice actor who's been so popular recently?!"

"The one who sang Xia Fan's song 'Red Lotus', Kurokawa Tsubasa, was it you?!"

When Yoshihide Higashino and Ryoko Tachibana heard about this for the first time, their eyes widened into the size of bells.

"Damn Blade" was released last month and has grossed over 20 billion yuan, ranking third in the box office history of Region 11.

The popularity of the theme song "Red Lotus" remains strong and continues to dominate the top of major music charts.

As the popular voice actor of the original singer of this song, Kurokawa Tsubasa, although not well-known among the general public, is a hot star in the two-dimensional circle. It is said that several animations and movies that are being prepared have invited her.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a voice actor who doesn't do public activities, so Xia-kun and Hanami have been keeping it a secret for me and haven't told you before."

Seeing that the two presidents looked like their brains were at a standstill, Horie Tsubasa calmly explained.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, if the contestants of the previous 'Campus Singer Contest' knew that the group that won the championship included the 'Queen of Variety' Kurokawa Tsubasa, they would probably die with hatred in their hearts, right?"

After taking a sip of cold beer to calm himself, Higashino Yoshihide sighed softly.

"No, now Xia Jun's identity as a 'Seven Star International Trainee' is enough to convince the students."

Horie Tsubasa gave Xia Fan a teasing look.

"Oh, yes, speaking of the talent show, you, boy, agreed to give it a try, but you went too far without my permission!" "Do you know how much trouble you've caused me? After the last theme song was broadcast, S Company actually secretly contacted the top management of B Company and wanted to buy out your agency contract from me..."

"But they don't know that you, a little trainee, are a monster music producer 'incarnated'. How could Bethesda be willing to let you go?"

Speaking of this, the slightly drunk Higashino Yoshihide reached out and pressed Xia Fan's neck.

"You may say that, but Uncle Dongye, aren't you secretly trying your best to help me get votes?"

Xia Fan shrank his neck and retorted.

"That's wrong. Although I used my connections within the Burning Department and got you a lot of votes this time..."

"But according to my investigation, most of the votes were obtained by your fans who call themselves 'Summer Disease' through spontaneous team building..."

"You really can't underestimate the power of rotten girls..."

Dongye shook his head and burped with emotion.

"By the way, Mr. Xia, I heard from the grapevine that after the recording of the performance, the international trainees almost all lost as a group?"

When talking about the talent show, Tachibana Ryoko also started gossiping.

This time, for the "Idol Birth Festival", because of the previous "unknown leak of the first stage live shot", the production team has upgraded the confidentiality measures, and even the behind-the-scenes footage of the shooting has not been leaked during the recent recording.

Therefore, before the latest episode was officially broadcast, no one knew the details of the first performance.

"It's okay. Even if you don't win the popularity votes and fall off the rankings, don't be discouraged."

"With the popularity gained in the first few episodes, I should be able to make it to the second performance. I have already exceeded my 'debut mission'."

"I've said before that in this kind of talent show, which is used to shady manipulation, if you stay for too many rounds, the companies and production crews behind you will probably be forced to use all kinds of shady manipulation to mess with you, and you'll be at a disadvantage..."

Higashino Yoshihide patted Xia Fan's shoulder indifferently.

In his opinion, if Xia Fan lost the popularity votes in the competition, he would definitely fall out of the top of the rankings.

Without the popularity of the topic and the "head effect", it will be difficult to convert passers-by fans as efficiently as before and maintain the growth of votes.

"Well, with Xia Jun's current popularity, if he writes a debut song for himself later, he will definitely get better results..."

After hearing what Tachibana Ryoko said, Horie Tsubasa, who was familiar with the rehearsal situation, naturally thought that Xia Fan's program was ultimately lost because of his teammates' "drag down" and spoke softly to comfort him.

"That's right, Xia Jun is also a great actor. If you need to promote any of your works in the future, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

Xing Ming Hanami also clenched her fists and cheered Xia Fan on.

"Well...thank you for your concern...it was our first performance, and we lost miserably in the international trainee group..."

"But after this performance... my popularity... should still be at number one for now..."

After taking a bite of the food, Xia Fan spoke haltingly.

Because of the confidentiality agreement they signed, trainees cannot leak any relevant content before the program is officially broadcast, so after he participated in the recording of the previous few episodes, he never told Higashino Yoshie the details.

"Huh? Still the first one?"

"So, your team won?!"

Everyone was stunned for a while before they reacted.
