It’s even more because the person who made this hit movie was Ping Qingshan. For these people in the industry, there is actually nothing to make friends with the son of a big boss. They can just say hello when they meet him. But if the son of this big boss is capable, the situation will be different. With ability, family, and capital, how could he not take off? Although Ping Qingshan has already booked a box office of 10 billion yuan, it hasn’t reached the final target yet. Since you know the other party is going to take off, why not curry favor with them before it takes off? ? Do you have to wait until the other party really gets a 10 billion box office and soars to the sky before currying favor with them? By that time, will these middle and low-level agents still be able to curry favor with them? Since Nakamura Sakami invited their actors, they naturally had to seize this opportunity. There are no fools in this world. They were unaware of the infighting at the top of Dentsu.
And even if there is a fight, Ping Qing Yinan has now become the party with the advantage. Therefore, today’s excitement was actually destined when Ping Qingshan wanted to hold this celebration banquet. In particular, the agents of the female artists communicated with their artists many times before the participation, asking them to recall the interesting things that happened during the filming with Ping Qingshan while eating. It would be best if I could gain the favor of Ping Qingshan. Even if it doesn't work, I must make Ping Qingshan have a good impression of me. ~~~ Ping Qingshan hasn't arrived yet. It was already quite lively outside the store named "Hot and Boiling". Nanny cars were parked on both sides and agents were leading their artists towards the store. The restaurant is not on the main street of Ginza, but slightly away from the center of Ginza. Although it is slightly off, it is also more concealed. It also occupies a large area. The restaurant is square in shape, with a circular stage in the center and four partitions surrounding the stage, dividing the entire hall into four areas. There are screens separating the private rooms. This is a typical layout of a high-end Japanese restaurant. However, for tonight's dinner, although the four large partitions are still there, some of the screens in the private rooms have been removed, forming several large single rooms connected to each other. The stage in the middle of the restaurant also appears more spacious. Ping Qingshan had not arrived yet, so the task of receiving and greeting him naturally fell on Nakamura Jiushang. Fortunately, Nakamura was not afraid of this situation. In the call of producer Nakamura again and again. Congratulations were sent one after another for the box office success.
In the charming eyes of one beautiful artist after another. He was able to hold on and not drift so much. "long time no see!" “Thanks for the invitation!” The agents greeted Nakamura Sake one by one. Nakamura even saw several middle-level managers from the brokerage companies. Although he had expressed his admiration many times, he still admired from the bottom of his heart that Hira Kiyohime was really awesome. He watched over the filming of "Battle Royale", so he naturally knew the importance of Hira Kiyosugi to this project. If it weren't for Hira Kiyosugi, the crew might have collapsed on the first day. ~~~ Mai Sakurajima is here too. At this moment, I am sitting at a window seat in the store. Speaking of which, Sakurajima Mai's role as Chigusa Takako didn't have many scenes, and the filming was completed in May. Since then, she experienced a debt collection crisis and was heroically rescued by Taira Kiyohima. I was very excited at the time, but I haven't seen Ping Qingshan for several months since then. Even though we occasionally communicate on LINE, the chats usually don’t last long. From filming to editing to release, there are so many things in between. Hirakiyosugi really doesn't have the energy to accompany Sakurajima Mai. So, Sakurajima Mai returned to the life she had before she met Hira Kiyoshige, working part-time, going to school, and occasionally thinking of the song that Hira Kiyoshige sang to her at sunset. There is a vague feeling like a dream. Therefore, after receiving the invitation, she asked her teacher for half a day off, put on beautiful makeup in the afternoon, and arrived at the hotel early. But when she actually sat down. As more and more people came in, a feeling of unreality grew stronger. Agents and actors kept coming in at the door. And around them, the actors who once played students like her have completely changed. Chapter 78: Drinking The actors who once played students like her have now completely changed. I didn't feel anything when wearing the uniform school uniform on the set. Now after taking off their school uniforms and putting on evening gowns, the girls who co-starred in the play look like a bunch of colorful flowers. Compared with them, Sakurajima Mai's outfit today was much more simple. No, to be more precise, she looked like an ordinary person today.
She is more like a staff member than an actor. In other words, the girl is naturally beautiful, otherwise she would be lost among the crowd. ~~~ Today's dinner is ostensibly a gathering, but as more and more people join in, it has actually evolved into a small networking event. Except for Ping Qingshan who is the core, everyone else also has his own plans. Mai Sakurajima looked around and saw that those who had arrived early were basically standing on the central stage and in the aisles, chatting and greeting each other. Only a few people actually sat down in the room. Glancing over, she saw another black-haired girl who had sat down early like her. That girl was none other than Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had gone to the movies with Sakurajima Mai a few days ago. Besides her, there were two AKB girls, Mayu Watanabe and Rena Matsui, sitting and chatting. Just as Sakurajima Mai was looking around. There was suddenly a commotion at the door. Mai Sakurajima looked up curiously and saw a group of people surrounding a young man walking in. The young man was wearing a casual suit and had a cheerful look on his face. Ping Qingshan arrived. Just like a magnet, it attracted all the people who were originally scattered in the store. Agents and actors flocked to Ping Qingshan, and greetings were heard one after another. Ping Qingshan was surrounded by the crowd and for a moment he couldn't move forward at all. Mai Sakurajima looked at the group of people. She had already stood up, but then slowly sat down again. Normally when she and Ping Qingshan were alone together, the impact of their identities was infinitely downplayed, but the current scene laid bare the reality in front of her. Also giving up with her was Kasumigaoka Utaha. However, unlike Sakurajima Mai who sat down silently, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down with gritted teeth as she looked at the group of little fairies trying to get into Ping Qingshan's arms. On the one hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that she could not wait any longer. Now that Ping Qingshan has finished his work, she must find Ping Qingshan and talk things out. On the other hand, seeing Ping Qingshan thrive in the entertainment industry, she was really a little panicked, worried that Ping Qingshan would be dazzled by those little fairies. If he really becomes a playboy, she will suffer a great loss. Fortunately, Ping Qingshan was currently concentrating on his film career, and after a few minutes of polite conversation, he walked forward. No one else dared to stop him, so the Hula Chao Quan Bo army followed him again. What I know is that the director treated us to a meal. If you didn’t know, you would think it was that gangster nobleman coming. ~~~
It took a lot of effort. Ping Qingshan finally sat down at his own table. After he sat down, a large group of people followed suit and took their seats one after another. This store, Hot and Boiling, is just like its name, a hodgepodge. The main dish is Sukiyaki, the signboard is in Chinese and the seats are Japanese style. The table where Hira Kiyosama sat was a long table made up of several tables. Surrounding the long table are cushions with embroidered silk ribbon backrests. The tatami on the ground is of very high standards, very elastic and warm to the feet. There are two private rooms on the left and right of this large private room, which can accommodate about sixty people. Those who could sit at Ping Qingshan's table included Nakamura Sakeu, Oze Mingguang, and several main creators of the crew, and the rest were all senior executives of the production committee and people from various brokerage companies. Just glance over. People from PB Agency, Sony Pictures, Nippon Audio, Bandai Toys, Ken-On, Toei, Stardust, AM, LP, and even HORI shamelessly sat on the sidelines. Even if they are not the bosses of each company, they are the backbone of each company. These people got together and said it was a small team building after a meeting in the entertainment industry, or something else. The only thing is that it doesn’t feel like a team building for the crew. In fact, in other crews, there would never be so many people from the company coming to a crew dinner. But Ping Qingshan is like a firefly in the night sky. It just attracts people. Although Ping Qingshan wanted to communicate more with the technical staff in the crew, this is no longer possible under the current circumstances. But on second thought, it's not bad to be able to establish relationships with these backbones in the industry. What is a network? Connections are accumulated slowly, and of course Ping Qingshan knows that the reason these people are so highly regarded now is not only because of the box office success of "Battle Royale". It is also because this group of people saw his potential and the resources he has. At the same time, there were also some people who knew the inside story and were sure that Ping Qing Yinan would have a good chance of becoming the successor after winning this round, and they wanted to curry favor with him. Everyone's mind is complicated. But so what. The cheap dad’s network of relationships is his, and his own network of relationships in the future will still be his. Ping Qingshan smiled and chatted with the people at the table. Just during this process, a familiar voice appeared behind him. "Mr. Shan, it's been a long time since we last met. You've finally finished your work. We should have a good drink tonight."
Kenji Kitagawa appeared in front of them with Mayu Watanabe. As the representative of AKS, it was not surprising that he appeared here. "Aren't you done yet? Come and sit down." Kitagawa Kenji nodded with a smile, then patted Mayu Watanabe on the shoulder and found a seat to sit down. Mayu Watanabe sat down next to Hira Kiyoshige, and a sweet voice appeared in his ears.
