Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

for a long time.

Kazuya Sawashiro basically went through all the popular comments and came up with a dozen or so decent projects.

Aside from the sleeping faces that everyone loves to see, there are many other interesting projects such as online games, cooking, and watching horror movies together. Kazuya Sawashiro has also written these down one by one, preparing to discuss the possibilities with Aki Amano.

That is also something to consider if she can't do anything at all.

"Look, I think these are all very simple plans, if there are no problems..." As Kazuya Sawashiro was speaking, he realized there was a problem.

Amano Aki's eyes were indeed wide open, and she looked like she was listening attentively, but apart from her wide eyes, there was nothing else about her that could be associated with being serious. Even when Sawashiro Kazuya waved his hand, she didn't respond.

If she hasn't learned to sleep with her eyes open, then she's just spacing out here; Kazuya Sawashiro is more inclined to believe the latter.

Poor her, having to keep her eyes so wide open even when she's distracted.

"Sigh~" Kazuya Sawashiro sighed softly, landing the notebook on Aki Amano's head. "Wake up, wake up, it's dinner time! Get up and come downstairs with me to get something to eat!"

"Eat!" Amano Aki jumped up from the ground and walked towards the door without looking back, muttering to himself, "I'm really hungry. It's time to replenish my energy. I'm going to eat two big bowls of rice."

Amano Aki, from Northeast China, especially loves to eat rice.

There's nothing wrong with liking to eat, but eating like Amano Aki isn't so great either.

Kazuya Sawashiro remained motionless, sitting there watching to see when Aki Amano would realize that his mention of "eating" was just a key phrase to wake her up, not that he actually wanted her to run downstairs for dinner in the middle of the day.

Don't you even look at the sun high in the sky outside the window?

Just then, Amano Aki's voice came back, anxious and tinged with displeasure: "Didn't we say we'd have dinner? I've already put on my shoes, why aren't you here yet?"

"...Look at the time!"

Kazuya Sawashiro was speechless. It turned out that there really was such a clueless person in the world who couldn't even tell the difference between morning and evening, whose mind was filled with nothing but eating and drinking, and who could sleep for eighteen hours straight.

Is this a healthy lifestyle?

The sound traveled away, and immediately an even louder sound came back.

"Ah—!" Amano Aki returned to her original position at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint, her face as red as the sunset at six o'clock in the afternoon. She sat up straight and apologized to Sawashiro Kazuya: "I'm sorry, I just spaced out."

"Distracted? It's alright, it's alright," Kazuya Sawashiro waved generously, his smile perfectly embodying the meaning of a two-faced person. "As long as you answer my question from earlier, I won't say anything to you. After all, I'm not a bad person."

Come on, you daydreaming little one, tell me what you just heard?

Or let me see what made you lose focus during such an important meeting.

If you can't answer, you'll get a hundred lashes from the cane.

"Come on, look me in the eyes and answer me," Kazuya Sawashiro issued his ultimatum.

That day, Akira Nao readily agreed, prostrating himself on the ground and imitating Owada: "Sorry! I didn't hear anything clearly, but if it's related to the livestream project, I'll do anything for you!"

She's very honest, but Kazuya still has to beat her up.

"Idiot, how could you say something like that? Are you underestimating how perverted a gentleman can be?" Kazuya Sawashiro first tapped Aki Amano on the head before showing her those not-so-serious project proposals.

What kind of live stream reviews of stockings and swimsuits? It's obvious what they want to see.

Is Aki Amano going to do this too?

"No, no, no..." Amano Aki shook his head vigorously, still unwilling to do it. "It's not appropriate for me to do this kind of thing. These are things only sexy goddesses are suited to do. I think the one below playing games is quite good. I'm very good at playing games!"

She made a firm promise.

Kazuya Sawashiro glanced at the screen, then couldn't help but burst out laughing. He beckoned Aki Amano over and whispered in her ear, "That game is notoriously erotic. Are you really going to play this while maintaining your energetic girl persona?"

"...Absolutely not!"

...

Carefully selecting items is a troublesome task.

After a week of hard work, Kazuya Sawashiro and Aki Amano finally finalized the live stream project, and then began the formal preparations.

However, all of this was prepared by Ze Cheng and others. Amano Aki usually practiced singing in the recording studio, and when he had free time, he would go out to film a movie called "Amano Aki's Lonely Cuisine" to maintain his persona as a musician.

It's like when you eat something delicious that makes you happy, you sing it out in your heart.

If you've ever watched an Indian movie, you'll likely find this scene quite memorable, since Indian films are always inseparable from song and dance.

But this is not a bad thing.

When this happened to Aki Amano, the audience's evaluation was still the same: "comfortable"—the kind of comfort that comes from instantly shedding all the pressure. Therefore, Kazuya Sawashiro's evaluation of Aki Amano was also higher.

Currently, Kazuya Sawashiro describes her as an interesting woman.

And this interesting woman is now holding her phone, looking troubled.

"What's wrong? Did you see any bad comments?" Ze Cheng didn't restrict Amano Aki's internet surfing, so Amano Aki knew everything about what happened online. "This is an inevitable path to becoming a superstar. My advice is to forget about all of this and think about what Tachibana Misaki would say."

"She'll definitely say the word 'cute'," Amano Aki's gaze swept across the screen and landed on Sawashiro Kazuya. "But that's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about something else. Didn't you see it online? Watanabe Souta's group is going to do a 48-hour relay live stream."

This is a special project to celebrate the release of the single, where all members will participate in a relay live stream.

Kazuya Sawashiro had heard about it, but he wasn't worried: "I know, but they're a K-pop idol group, and their fanbase doesn't overlap much with ours. I don't think they're a match for us."

"Is this your personal bias? Or is it a professional judgment supported by data?" Amano Aki asked seriously, mimicking Sawashiro Kazuya's manner.

If it's the former, then Akihiro Nano will remain skeptical.

Hearing this, Ze Cheng, who had been calm, also became flustered. He reached out and touched Amano Aki's forehead to check his temperature and asked, "Are you mistaken about something? The other party is an idol group that specializes in singing and dancing, while you are just an artist who is temporarily out of work. You are not out of work forever, and you will return to the screen sooner or later."

"Huh?!" Amano Aki seemed to be seeing himself for the first time, pointing at himself with a silly grin and saying, "So these are all my side jobs? My main job is being an entertainer, hahaha..."

She looked a bit silly, and her words were also somewhat dull; it seemed that the ups and downs of the past month had left her a little dizzy.

However, if you can say it out loud, then you must be healthy.

"It's good that you know, so you don't need to care what this group is doing. Even if they do a 72-hour live stream, that's their business. What you need to do is do the work I've arranged for you, build up your own popularity, and that's how you can go further in the entertainment industry."
