In the silence, Nobuo Tomioka was the first to react and quietly touched Kozo Nagayama next to him with his hand.
After Nagayama Kozo noticed Tomioka Nobuo's little move, he immediately understood what he meant.
Subconsciously frowning and sighing inadvertently, Nagayama Kozo regained his serious expression and said to Koizumi Kyoko who was kneeling on the ground: "Okay, there's no need for this. Well, since you are so busy, go and do your own business first. Let’s forget about this interview and let’s talk about it next time.”
Obviously, what the other party means is that you don't have to kowtow here anymore and leave quickly. There is no role for you in this TV series.
After hearing these words, Koizumi Kyoko did not leave. Instead, she lowered her head again and begged loudly: "I'm sorry, this time it was really an accident. Please give me another chance. I will definitely do my best!"
At this time, Cao Zhiqiang finally reacted and realized that Nagayama Kozo wanted to drive away the opponent.
Subconsciously, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to say something nice for Koizumi Kyoko, but when he saw Akina Nakamori next to him, he shut his mouth.
Indeed, since I want to support Akina Nakamori and make her the heroine, it is best not to let Kyoko Koizumi get involved.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but I just don't want to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang could only lower his head as if he couldn't hear.
But at this moment, Nakamori Akina suddenly pleaded to Nagayama Kozo opposite: "Director, Kyoko is a good friend of mine. She is not unpunctual. There must be a misunderstanding this time. And she works very hard and has good acting skills." , please give her a chance."
Upon hearing this, Nagayama Kozo was stunned, not knowing what to say.
After all, he had already learned about Akina Nakamori's situation from Nobuo Tomioka, and knew that this little girl was actually Cao Zhiqiang's live-in girlfriend.
In other words, Akina Nakamori herself is not important, what is important is that Cao Zhiqiang is standing behind her.
He is already very aware of Cao Zhiqiang's singing talent, and he is also very good in the script. At least Nagayama Kozo admires him.
Therefore, in Ai Wu Ji Wu Xia, he has nothing wrong with Cao Zhi strongly promoting Akina Nakamori as the heroine.
There are many situations where male and female protagonists are designated, and this time is no different.
Therefore, now that Nakamori Akina has spoken, Nagayama Kozo must give her some face. After all, you don’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face.
Furthermore, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, Nagayama Kozo does not want to easily ruin a person's acting career just because he is late. Especially when Takeda Tetsuya has a history of being late, it would be unreasonable not to give Koizumi Kyoko, who is late, a chance. .
In fact, it was Cao Zhiqiang's silence before and Nobuo Tomioka's little actions that made him have to be this evil person.
But now that Akina Nakamori is here to smooth things over, Kozo Nagayama no longer has to be a villain.
Thinking of this, Nagayama Kozo smiled and said, "Ah, since Miss Nakamori asked for mercy, let's forget it this time."
Speaking of this, Nagayama Kozo looked at Koizumi Kyoko who was still kneeling on the tatami: "Koizumi-san, get up. It doesn't have to be like this. Please take a seat."
"Hi, thank you director!"
After kowtowing again, Koizumi raised his head and then froze.
Because the first thing she saw was Cao Zhiqiang sitting in the main seat.
But after all, her acting skills were good, and there were so many people there, so she quickly suppressed her surprised expression.
Immediately afterwards, Koizumi Kyoko turned to look at Akina Nakamori. When she found that Akina Nakamori was smiling at her, she quickly smiled and bowed in return.
After laughing, she was guided by an actress next to her and sat next to her, but in terms of seat, it was closest to the door and the most inconspicuous location.
After Koizumi Kyoko sat down, Nagayama Kozo immediately smoothed things over with a smile, and Takeda Tetsuya and other veteran actors also joined in to warm up the show, and other actors also joined in the fun, so the atmosphere quickly became lively again.
However, Cao Zhiqiang's smile was a little awkward and forced, and he never fit into the atmosphere.
Akina Nakamori is a little better, but maybe because of what happened before, she doesn't speak much.
On the other hand, Koizumi Kyoko, I don’t know if she has excellent acting skills, but she behaves very normally, smiling and very gregarious, and there is nothing wrong with her.
In this way, the banquet ended in a happy atmosphere, and the next meeting was to formally discuss the start of filming.
After everyone said goodbye, Koizumi Kyoko did not leave. Instead, she found Nakamori Akina and thanked her in various ways.
"Akina-chan, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would be doomed this time!" Koizumi Kyoko said with her hands clasped together.
Akina Nakamori smiled slightly and said: "No, I didn't know it was you in advance. If I knew it was you, I would definitely tell the director in advance, and this kind of thing wouldn't happen. Don't blame me."
"No, no, how could it be possible?" Koizumi Kyoko glanced at Cao Zhiqiang inadvertently, and then smiled and said to Nakamori Akina, "By the way, it turns out that you are the heroine in this drama, and Cao Sang is the screenwriter? How amazing! But you This heroine is not what he wants you to be, right?"
"That's right." Akina Nakamori smiled without realizing it, "Originally I didn't want to act, let alone be the heroine, but this is a script written by Shiqiang-san, and he strongly recommended me to be the heroine. Since it is his will, I naturally have to listen to him."
"Oh, that's it." Koizumi Kyoko narrowed her eyes and asked calmly, "What is your current relationship with Cao Sang? Why do you look so close?"
"This..." Akina Nakamori was stunned for a moment, then stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Kyoko, you are my good friend, it's okay to tell you, but you can't tell others!"
"Of course." Koizumi Kyoko nodded quickly.
Akina Nakamori said: "Actually, Zhiqiang-san and I are already living together. We already live together."
"Nani?" Koizumi Kyoko opened her mouth wide, "You, him, you...are you living together?"
Nakamori Akina nodded shyly.
"When did it happen?" Koizumi Kyoko asked with a livid smile.
Akina Nakamori lowered her head and smiled without realizing it: "There was a period of time."
Immediately afterwards, Akina Nakamori said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Kyoko, I know you liked him very much at first, but I see you are so busy, and it seems that you are mostly joking, so... in short, I really mean it. If you like him, you won’t mind, right?”
Koizumi Kyoko took a deep breath and suddenly smiled brightly: "No, how could it be. But you don't know that he has a girlfriend in China, right?"
"Yes, I know." Akina Nakamori nodded, "But even so, it can't stop me from loving him. Well, no matter what, I want to be with him, and he is also very good to me.
Don't you know, he also helped me open a firm and made me the president. He also signed a contract with the firm.
This firm is currently very profitable. For example, the song "Tsunami", which is now very popular, was signed with my firm.
In other words, I am actually in charge of all the affairs and income of the firm, and he is very confident in me.
This time too, he wrote a script, which was very good. Seeing that I liked it, he specifically recommended me to be the heroine, and he also spent his own money to film the film. "
"Really?" Koizumi Kyoko glanced at Cao Zhiqiang, who was standing in the distance pretending to watch the scenery, squinted his eyes and said with a dry smile, "He is so kind to you."
"Yes, Zhiqiang-san is very good to me." Akina Nakamori, who was in love, looked at Cao Zhiqiang not far away with a gentle look.
“It was he who told me that a woman can’t just have a family, the key is to have her own career.
Only by owning your own business can you be self-reliant and self-reliant.
And women who are self-reliant are the most attractive and don’t have to worry about being cheated.
In fact, I originally didn’t want to start a career, I just wanted to stay by his side, but since he wanted to make me popular and let me have my own career, of course I had to try to do it. "
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina grabbed Kyoko's hand and said half happily and half show off: "Kyoko, you know, in fact, I don't understand anything, it's all Shiqiang-san who worries about me.
Whether it was the establishment of the firm, helping me get out of my original firm, or the subsequent operations, Zhiqiang-san was all doing it for me. I just took on the title of president.
The money I earn now is more than ten times that of before, and I can already buy my own house in Tokyo.
And judging from the current situation, it will only get better and better in the future.
Ah, by the way, Zhiqiang-san also wrote a few songs for me, which are very good.
However, Zhiqiang-san said that he planned to let me film a TV series first. After the TV series is completed and broadcast on TV stations, he will release my new song album together. It is called a chain effect, which can maximize the impact of the TV series. My popularity.
The songs she wrote are very good, and the musicians in our company all said they were good and that they would definitely be another hit.
Oh, by the way, did you know that there is a best-selling book called "Norwegian Wood" recently? "
Koizumi Kyoko, who always wore a professional smile, was stunned: ""Norwegian Wood"? You mean, the book written by Mr. Kudo Yusaku?"
"Yes, yes, it's Kudo Yusaku!" Akina Nakamori smiled and nodded, "Do you know this book?"
"I know." Kyoko Koizumi smiled, "I also bought this book. It's very good. I like it very much. What, is there something wrong with this book? Or... wait!"
Speaking of this, Koizumi Kyoko seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the back of Cao Zhiqiang not far away again, gritted his teeth, and then continued to smile at Nakamori Akina: "You don't mean to say that Yusaku Kudo is also Cao San?"
"Yes, that's it!" Nakamori Akina clapped her hands with a smile, "Kudo Yusaku is Shiqiang-san's pen name. When he wrote this book, I was right next to him, so I am the number one author of his book. A reader, haha.
It's just that Zhiqiang-san likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to be too high-profile, so he used another pen name to distribute this book, instead of continuing to use Morinaka Aizumi's name. "
"Is that so?" Koizumi Kyoko took a deep, trembling breath and murmured to herself, "In the forest, in the forest? Haha, I should have thought of it earlier, I'm so stupid!"
"What did you say?" Akina Nakamori asked confused.
"It's nothing." Koizumi Kyoko bit her lip, then held Akina Nakamori's hand with a smile, and said to Akina Nakamori, "Akina, I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect you to change so much. Compared with you, I really It’s far from enough.”
At this point, Koizumi Kyoko suddenly said with self-pity: "You saw it just now, for a supporting role, I had to humble myself. It was obviously a mistake in the firm's arrangement, but in the end I had to bear the responsibility.
Alas, people like us are nothing in the eyes of big shots anyway. On the surface, we are youth idols with countless fans, but in fact we have no dignity at all.
On the other hand, you have gained freedom so early, opened an office, become president, and your career is booming. I really envy you. "
"Where." Nakamori Akina said with a smile, "I don't understand anything, it's all arranged by Zhiqiang-san, but he is very good to me, very good. With him here, I don't have to worry about anything."
Seeing the happy smile on Nakamori Akina's face, Koizumi Kyoko crossed her arms, forced to control her trembling body, and then forced a smile and said: "But Akina-san, he has a fiancée in China, so he may not be willing to do so. marry you.
When he opens an office for you, he is actually telling you in disguise that he will not marry you as his wife. Are you willing to do so? "
Akina Nakamori was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "What's the point of being unwilling to do so? It's best if he can marry me, and it doesn't matter if he can't marry me. As long as two people like each other, what does it matter whether it's a marriage or not?"
"Isn't it?" Koizumi Kyoko frowned, "Are you really willing to be your mistress?"
Nakamori Akina turned to look at the back of Cao Zhiqiang not far away, sighed softly and said: "Kyoko, you have lived a carefree life since you were a child, and you don't know the life of poor people like us.
Poor people like me have no choice in many situations when they are poor.
Zhiqiang Sang told me about his past and his childhood.
Although I have never been to his country, I know how poor his country is.
Zhiqiang Sang was not born into a wealthy family, and he lived in a country with strict management. If he wanted to get ahead, he often had to give up certain things, such as freedom.
If Zhiqiang-san didn't do that, he wouldn't even have the chance to come to Japan. And if he didn't come to Japan, how could we meet? "
Having said this, Akina Nakamori smiled slightly, patted the back of the hand of Koizumi Kyoko, who was frowning, and said: "Shiqiang-san is different from us. He seems to be talented, but he is not free.
At least, he doesn't have the ability to grasp freedom at all now.
Once he chooses to betray the past, the consequences of waiting may be something he cannot bear.
It’s not like you don’t know the virtues of Japan’s wealthy and powerful families.
China's powerful people are probably not far behind either.
What if, what if Zhiqiang Sang really betrayed his fiancée in China for me, what if he was so angry that he sent someone to harm him, wouldn’t it be me who harmed Zhiqiang Sang?
So, it's good now.
I can secretly be his woman, be by his side to comfort him, help him, and help him quietly accumulate strength.
When he truly has the power to embrace freedom, he will naturally be fearless.
But now, I must not hold him back, and I must not harm him for my own selfishness!
What is true love?
This kind of whole-hearted giving without expecting anything in return is true love!
And I know Zhiqiang-san’s character very well.
As long as I am true to him, he will never fail me.
In this case, why should I care if he can marry me?
Am I right? Today? "(End of chapter)
