062 Insist on being yourself
The Atsuko Maeda photo album published by the Primary School Library was well received, so Kitashima Yusuke was confident. He also said: "San Aragaki, we have a lot of sincerity. For your photo album, I specially invited Mr. Yuki Nishimura. He is one of the few big-name photographers in the industry. From Matsuda Seiko in the 1980s to Shizuka Kudo in the 1990s, and until now AKB, he doesn't know how many top idols he has taken photos, his strength and experience are impeccable."
Then, Kitashima Yusuke said aggressively: "San Aragaki, this time we have shown the greatest sincerity, the most complete preparations, and the most favorable conditions. If you hesitate and let our kindness down, then the cooperation will be interrupted!"
This is an almost straightforward threat.
However, the girl still didn't make up her mind and hesitated: "Kejima Sang, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to shoot a photo album, but..."
"snort!"
Seeing that he still couldn't convince the other party, Kitashima Yusuke's face suddenly became ugly and he snorted coldly.
At this time, the president, Honma Honma, had not spoken and seemed to have disappeared, smiling and smoothed out: "Oh, it's already noon. Let's have dinner first, let's talk."
After saying that, he pulled Kitajima Yusuke: "There is a Turkish barbecue near the office, which is very good. Let's try it together!"
After the two men left, the agent Urashima comforted him: "Gakki, don't be too stressed, let's talk about it after dinner. For artists, a good health is the most important thing, and you must eat the meal on time."
Yui Aragaki nodded.
When two people left the office, they met one person.
She is a junior in the office with her, Kawashima Hae, a cute girl with big eyes and a round face.
"Senior, are you going to have a meal? Take me one."
The three of them came to an Italian restaurant that they often went to. After ordering, Kawashima Hae took out a magazine from his bag and looked at it.
Yui Aragaki glanced at the cover and said strangely: "Haihe, do you still read comics?"
"Oh?" Kawashima Hae was a little surprised, "Senior, have you forgotten? A few days ago, you told me that a good friend's comic book would be published in "young_animal". Otherwise, why would I buy such a comic magazine that is specially for boys? Senior, don't you say that this comic called "Dragon Sakura" is really interesting, and it is also well drawn, which is much more pleasing to those messy fighting comics."
Yui Aragaki held his forehead in annoyance.
Because of the photo album, I forgot about Brother Qin’s comics being released today.
I just called and kept complaining, and didn't even say a word of congratulations.
"Haihe, show me."
"Okay senior."
Yui Aragaki took "young_animal" and looked at the cover carefully: two beautiful girls in sailor clothes based on her and Nagasawa Masami, Kasaka and Naomi Mizuno.
"Brother Qin is really amazing. Although it is just a comic, he completely copied the temperament and character of Ma Jiang and me on paper. It is even more vivid than the photos!"
She couldn't wait to open the magazine and start reading "Dragon Sakura".
The first two chapters of "Dragon Sakura" are 40 pages, and the main characters appearing are the protagonists Kenji Sakuragi, and two female students Kasaka Kano and Naomi Mizuno.
The comics are not only compact in plot, but also have excellent character creation, making people unable to stop turning pages.
Especially the character Kasaka Kano.
Long and straight black hair, beautiful face, and a beautiful high school girl that everyone longs for.
But she has a bit of a unique personality and doesn't like to get in the crowd. She prefers to stay alone from afar and watch the noisy and lively world.
Compared to the girl in the media who is packaged, smiling and brings vitality and healing to others, Kasaka Kano in the comics is the real self...
"If my sister hadn't signed up for me, I'd probably never have taken the path of artists..." Yui Aragaki suddenly recalled the past...
She held the comic magazine and felt warm in her heart - there was someone in this world who knew her so well, and it felt so good.
After a long time, the girl returned the magazine to Kawashima Hae, and then said to the agent seriously: "Urashima San, I have decided!"
"I decided to reject Kitajima San's request."
"Why did I suddenly make up my mind?" Miss Urajima saw Yui Aragaki's eyes firm, which was very different from her hesitant look.
"Because I remembered my original intention of entering the art world. I want to stick to being myself!"
"Besides, I really can't make it in the art world, so I'll go to Brother Qin's house to make a living."
Of course, the latter sentence cannot be said.
"Just you have your own ideas. Oh, the pasta is here!"
…………
In the afternoon, after returning to the office, preparations for photo albums will continue.
As soon as we started, Kitashima Yusuke still had an aggressive attitude: "San Aragaki and President Honma, we have wasted a whole morning, and this matter cannot be delayed until tomorrow! The conditions and requirements of our primary school library have been put forward, so you can make a decision quickly! Nowadays, it is not easy to get involved in the photo industry. You want to find young actors who we cooperate with, and they can be ranked from Harajuku to Yoyoki!"
Seeing that Kitashima Yusuke lost his patience and looked like he was about to leave, Yui Aragaki mustered up his courage to stand up and bowed: "Keshima San, I am very grateful for your preferences and the Primary School Pavilion, but after careful consideration, I still hope to maintain my true nature and not take the sexy route."
"What?!" Kitashima Yusuke's voice suddenly became loud.
Just when Yui Aragaki thought Kitashima Yusuke was cursing a few words, and then slammed the door and left, the other party's attitude changed drastically.
Yosuke Kitashima muttered a few words, sat back on the sofa, and said, "Just let's be pure route. It's risky to change your image rashly. Maybe you won't become famous and even your original fans are lost."
After saying that, he took out a lot of information documents from his bag seriously: "So, let's talk about specific shooting and cooperation matters."
The girl was stunned by this sudden change.
Until the contract was negotiated, her agent Urashima sent Kitashima Yusuke away, she didn't come back to her senses.
"Yui, do you think Kitashima Yusuke is very strange? He was obviously arrogant before, but you stopped the cooperation if you didn't agree. Why did you change your attitude after you refused?" President Honma said with a smile.
Yui Aragaki nodded honestly.
"That's because you can make a lot of money by shooting sexy photo albums. You can make money by shooting conservative photo albums. But if you can't cooperate, you won't make any money. As a businessman, how would you choose? Kitajima's acting skills are too poor, and I can tell at a glance what he plans."
Honma Qian explained: "Actually, the firm has designed a personal image and development route for you. Even if you don't say it, I will refuse the request from the party in the end. The reason why I have never expressed my opinion is to see Yui's reaction. Fortunately, you did not disappoint me. Many girls who are just entering the art world will lose their way through various coercion and inducement. There are very few people who can maintain themselves and reach the peak."
"The world of adults is really complicated..." The girl nodded as if she had some understanding.
