Chapter 304 Initial Ideas for the Third Season of Sisters Who Make Waves
Although Haruka Ayase isn't a top-tier beauty, she's still very pretty, has a sexy figure, is quite low-key, and has excellent acting skills. She's impeccable in every way and is definitely one of the benchmark actresses in Japan.

If it weren't for that incident on set that made Jiang Yifeng more cautious, he would definitely have taught her more.

Ayase Haruka breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Yifeng's attitude was very good.

These days, Jiang Yifeng is adapting to local customs on set, rarely smiling, and is very stern, which puts a lot of pressure on people.

She continued, "Last time, President Hojo came to me and asked me to have a drink with you to apologize."

That was my own choice, not something I was forced to do, and I certainly didn't have any other intentions.

I hope you understand and there's no misunderstanding.

Seeing that Jiang Yifeng didn't speak, Ayase Haruka continued to explain: "The agency I work for is Horipro. Although the salary is lower, it is relatively more flexible."

Our firm rarely engages in coercion, nor is it involved with any organized crime groups. We have a very good reputation in Japan.

Ayase Haruka is telling the truth; H Company is a breath of fresh air in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Although the fixed salary is relatively low, even celebrities have to receive a fixed salary, but the company's accounts are clear, there are very few messy things, and it is very humane.

Even if an artist's popularity fades, H Company will continue to pay their salary and support them.

Honami Suzuki, Kyoko Fukada, Satomi Ishihara, and other female celebrities who are relatively well-known in China are all signed with H Company.

This firm is also known as a celebrity retirement home.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Comparatively speaking, H Company has fewer resources, and with many celebrities and artists within the company, the competition is fierce.

Haruka Ayase needs to cultivate her network and secure more resources.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, she can be considered a late bloomer.

She gained fame after starring in "My Robot Girlfriend" in 2008, and her career has steadily risen since then.

It wasn't until 2015, when she co-starred with Masami Nagasawa in "Our Little Sister," which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes and swept major film awards in Japan, that her status was truly solidified.

A farm girl was able to grow step by step into a big star, and Haruka Ayase has both high emotional intelligence and IQ.

So after filming wrapped, she made a special trip to explain the situation to Jiang Yifeng and maintain their relationship.

Jiang Yifeng nodded and said, "I've heard about H Company's situation too. We'll definitely have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

With the massive influx of internet capital into the entertainment industry, the appearance fees of Chinese celebrities are getting higher and higher, making it difficult for "Sisters Who Make Waves" to compete.

In comparison, Dongying Star offers much better value for money.

Both Honami Suzuki and Kyoko Fukada from H Company can be invited to participate in Sisters Who Make Waves.

Fei Gong still has some fame and fans in China. As for Suzuki Honami, the melody of Tokyo Love Story will evoke childhood memories for those born in the 80s. Akana Rika is the white moonlight goddess in the hearts of a generation.

Jiang Yifeng currently has a preliminary idea: the third season of Sisters Who Make Waves could simply collaborate with platforms like Netflix to create an international version of Sisters Who Make Waves.

Teams such as the Chinese team, the Japanese team, the American team, and the European team were formed, bringing together sisters from various countries to compete against each other.

Anyway, if they're going to do the third season of Sisters Who Make Waves, they'll need to hire big-name female celebrities from China, so the price can't be low.

Even for artists owned by Fengxing Media, prices won't be lowered; the artist department and variety show department each have their own KPI assessments.

Since that's the case, why not go all out and try an international version to see how it goes? This would also effectively increase sponsorship revenue.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Ayase Haruka immediately flattered him, saying, "Your collaboration with Avex is already a successful model that everyone in Japan is eager to learn from. Our president has been praising it and is very eager to collaborate with you."

The collaboration between Fengxing Media and Avex is indeed a win-win situation.

In addition to successfully managing the 101 girl group, Fengxing Media also helped Avex.

Erika Sawajiri played an important supporting role in the first season of Pacific Rim, which boosted her reputation and gave her career a second spring.
After the second season of Sisters Who Make Waves, Ayumi Hamasaki held 16 concerts in China and made a fortune through various commercial performances.

Although the Japanese entertainment industry doesn't have a strong drive to expand beyond its borders.

But seeing how lucrative the Chinese market is, it's impossible for these companies and celebrities not to be envious.

Moreover, H Company, like Fengxing Media, is a company where women outnumber men.

The company has many female artists who are very famous, but relatively fewer male artists.

Jiang Yifeng chatted with Ayase Haruka for about 20 minutes, and Liu Yifei came in after she left.

She looked around and even sniffed the air.

After finding nothing amiss, Liu Yifei teased, "It's not easy, Lao Jiang. You're actually being so well-behaved this time. Ayase Haruka came to see you in a sexy dress, and you didn't even touch her."

Jiang Yifeng joked, "I'm playing the long game."

"What do you mean?"

"H-Company, where Ayase Haruka works, has a lot of beautiful women. We'll catch them all when the time comes."

Liu Yifei: "..."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Jiang Yifeng and said with a smile, "Let's go, the crew wants to take a group photo as a souvenir. Everyone is waiting for you."

When Jiang Yifeng and Liu Yifei came outside, they saw everyone standing in line.

There was an empty seat in the very center, clearly reserved for Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

Liu Yifei stood to his left, Ayase Haruka stood to his right, and behind Jiang Yifeng were Ikeda Tiaotiaosha and Miyoshi Ayaka squeezed together.

All four women were wearing costumes from the play, with Liu Yifei being the only one dressed conservatively, while the other three were dressed in sexy attire.

And so, Jiang Yifeng was surrounded by four beautiful women and they took a group photo.

This group photo was also used by NHK to report on the wrap-up of filming for the second season of The Hunt.

Soon, the photo was circulated in China.

When everyone saw Jiang Yifeng sitting among four beautiful women, they teased him again—"I envy neither the lovebirds nor the immortals, but I envy President Jiang every single day!"

All I can say is that Jiang Yifeng's nickname is too famous.

When people saw the beautiful women in the film crew, they assumed that Jiang Yifeng had slept with them.

Actually, just like the previous rumors about the Daddario sisters, there hasn't been any yet... Besides Jiang Yifeng's cautious approach, it's also because he's really busy in Japan.

First, I was busy filming, and second, I was busy with the character development card.

Third, he was busy communicating with Meng Ziyi.

My cousin has been acting up since she came of age, always sending Jiang Yifeng photos that seem to imply something more.

Cousin, why haven't you come to see me?

Where is my 18th birthday present?

[I took a picture in class today wearing my glasses. Does it look good?]

Ta-da! Look what this is?! A bottle of tiger penis and ginseng wine, I made it for you myself. My cousin has so many relatives, I was afraid you couldn't handle it~

[Today's bedtime outfit: First time wearing lace trim, please check it out, cousin~]

……

After filming the second season of Back to Field, Meng Ziyi returned to school.

She will take the college entrance examination in June this year. Although she has decided to apply to Beijing Film Academy, her score cannot be too low.

In addition, Jiang Yifeng was busy promoting his movie and spent more than a month abroad.

As a result, the fruit ripened before Jiang Yifeng could harvest it in time.

Jiang Yifeng wasn't in a hurry, but Guo Shi himself was.

It can only be said that Meng Ziyi has been a third wheel too many times, and under his influence, he has long been looking forward to it.

Especially after the winter vacation started, Meng Ziyi had nothing to do, so he sent messages intensively and chatted with his cousin every day.

Jiang Yifeng had to spend some time comforting his cousin.

After filming the second season of Hunting, Jiang Yifeng did not leave Tokyo immediately. Instead, he recorded several more programs for NHK to prepare promotional materials for "Youth With You," which was scheduled to air in March.

It wasn't until the evening of February 9th that Jiang Yifeng finally took a plane to Hokkaido.

When Jiang Yifeng boarded the plane, Fengxing Media's team building team had already arrived at Hoshino TOMAMU Resort.

After checking in, Jiang Yifeng's harem reunited.

Meng Ziyi had Nazha on her left and Jing Tian on her right, both looking helpless.

"Cousin, come with me to the hot springs first! Hot springs are good for your skin!"

"What's the point of soaking in hot springs? Let's go skiing first! I'm a skiing expert, I'll teach you!"

Naza and Jingtian had differing opinions; one wanted to go to a hot spring, and the other wanted to go skiing, but both wanted to bring their cousin Meng Ziyi along.

Faced with the argument between his two cousins-in-law, Meng Ziyi was caught in a dilemma and could only ask Gao Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, what do you want to do?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I'm planning to go to the Cloud Top Restaurant for a drink. As for hot springs and skiing, we'll talk about that when Comrade Xiao Jiang arrives."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi quickly said, "Then I'll go to the restaurant and bar with you for drinks."

Naza immediately said, "You're so young, how can you drink alcohol?"

Meng Ziyi puffed out his chest, displaying his nascent strength, and said proudly, "I'm an adult now, I can drink!"

Her words had a double meaning, but unfortunately neither Nazha nor Jingtian understood them.

Zhang Tianai and Dilraba were just watching the show.

Only Gao Yuanyuan gave Meng Ziyi a deep look.

Gao Yuanyuan initially believed that Meng Ziyi was Jiang Yifeng's cousin, but after working with Jiang Peiyao, Gao Yuanyuan began to waver.

The thought of Jiang Peiyao, followed by a glance at Meng Ziyi, Tian Qianwei, Song Zuer, and others, made Gao Yuanyuan realize that something terrible was about to happen.

The biggest reason why the seven women in Jiang Yifeng's harem could accept his extramarital affairs was that the harem had not expanded.

There are still 7 people.

Moreover, among these seven people, Gao Yuanyuan implicitly acknowledged her position as a lover, remaining relatively detached.

Jing Tian and Nazha are two opposing factions. Jing Tian secretly won over Reba, while Nazha believes that both Reba and Zhang Tianai are her people.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are sticking together.

This has basically created a three-way balance of power, and the structure is quite stable.

In Gao Yuanyuan's view, if anyone could break this stability, it would definitely be the company's young actresses.

Among them, Meng Ziyi poses the greatest threat.

The so-called distant cousin—who knows how distant she really is?

As a master at stealing men, Gao Yuanyuan always trusted her intuition. She felt that Meng Ziyi was too clingy to her cousin, and their interactions didn't seem like those of ordinary siblings.

Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan decided to keep a close eye on Meng Ziyi during this trip to Hokkaido.

Meng Ziyi was unaware that she was being suspected.

She linked arms with Gao Yuanyuan, feeling very pleased with herself for having successfully resolved another argument.

Seeing her cousin following Sister Yuanyuan, Naza didn't think much of it and dragged Zhang Tianai and Reba to soak in the hot spring.

Jing Tian looked around and finally joined Shu Chang and Song Zuer for skiing.

Because of Tian Qianwei, Li Yitong chose to go with Meng Ziyi, while Yang Caiyu followed Shu Chang.

In the end, only He Na and Zhang Yuxi were left standing there, staring at each other in bewilderment...

When Jiang Yifeng landed and turned on his phone, he received several messages.

Gao Yuanyuan invited him for drinks, Nazha invited him to hot springs, Jing Tian invited him to skiing, but Meng Ziyi didn't say anything, only sent a selfie.

Jiang Yifeng sighed and said to Liu Yifei beside him, "Sigh, I'm having trouble making a decision. Who do you think I should choose?"

Liu Yifei: "..."
