"I heard that Johnny's has invited you before?" Mijima Iijima smiled: "It would be nice to bring a potential artist like you if there is a chance, but it's a pity that there is no chance."
Not understanding the meaning of Iijima Sanchi's words, Minato Hayato could only compliment: "Where, isn't there already a senior like SMAP under Iijima-san? And there should be a lot of newcomers, and I am not missing one."
"Maybe SMAP." Iijima Sanchi glanced at the five SMAP people scattered in the recording studio with satisfaction, then shook his head and said with a hint of meaning: "It's a pity for a newcomer..."
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity... I didn't get so many good opportunities like Mizumi-san. The consecutive Yuejiu dramas are so enviable."
Before Minakura Hayabusa could reply, Iijima Mitochi smiled again: "In the future, our new family member may have to be taken care of by you, Minakami-san. By the way, I wonder if you have heard of his name? His name is Yamashita Tomohisa."
"Yamashita Tomohisa!" Hayato Minakami suddenly realized, wasn't he the protagonist of "The Proposal Battle" in his previous life?
Looking at Mijima Iijima's eyes full of meaning, Mizuna Hayato seemed to understand something, and the smile on his face became less.
"Ah, I have indeed heard of it." Mizuna Hayato replied.
"It's a pity that he is not as lucky as Mizumi-san." Mijima Iijima said with a smile.
"Mizumi-kun!" Kimura Takuya's voice suddenly sounded.
Mizunami Hayato and Iijima Sanchi looked away from each other's faces and looked at Kimura Takuya who was walking over, with different expressions.
But Kimura Takuya didn't pay attention to the atmosphere between them. He smiled heartily and patted Minakami Hayato on the shoulder: "It's time to officially rehearse."
"Takuya." Mijima Iijima looked serious.
Only when scolding Kimura Takuya, Mijima Iijima would call him "Takuya".
Kimura Takuya just smiled and said to Mijima Iijima: "Micchi, I will take him to rehearsal first, don't waste time."
He clasped his hands together and said jokingly: "Sorry, sorry!"
"I'm sorry, work is important. In this case, let's talk next time." Hayato Mizuna also said to Mijima Iijima: "Iijima-san, we will always have a chance to meet again."
"Okay." Mijima Iijima smiled again: "Come on."
Looking at the backs of Hayato Minakura and Takuya Kimura leaving, Mijima Iijima's smile faded again.
...
In Minakami Hayato's previous life, SMAP, the group that was formed in 1988 and was called "Sakuzu's No. 1 Band", did not survive its third decade and announced its disbandment in 2016, triggering a stir in the entire entertainment industry. A major earthquake in the world.
There are many speculations about the reasons for the disbandment of SMAP, and there are also many "internal revelations" circulating.
The most widely accepted one is that the dissolution of SMAP was the result of a power struggle between Mitomo Iijima, the agent of SMAP, and Keiko Fujishima, the daughter of President Kitagawa. Mijima Iijima failed in the struggle and left Johnny & Associates. Some people in SMAP were willing to work with her while others wanted to stay in the agency, which eventually led to a split.
But it's only the end of 2007, and Johnny's internal struggle has not yet become that intense. Even so, Hayato Minakami has a good relationship with SMAP, and Arashi and others who sit with Fujishima Keiko are strangers, so it stands to reason that they are not familiar with each other. Even if Shima Sanchi doesn't win over an outside force like Minakami Hayato, who has a clear background at first glance, he won't be offended.
"Why does she have this attitude?" Mizuna Hayato was puzzled.
Arriving at the edge of the prepared stage, the lighting engineer was making final adjustments, and the other four people from SMAP had not arrived yet.
Kimura Takuya looked ahead and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, Minamizu-kun, Macchi has a strong desire to control, and he is used to being strong."
Mizuna Hayato knew that although he didn't know the reason, Kimura Takuya came over just now to rescue him.
"It's okay." Hayato Mizuna replied, and after thinking for a while he added, "Maybe it's because I took your junior Tomohisa Yamashita's job."
When Kimura Takuya heard this, he glanced at him, suddenly laughed, and shook his head: "In short, Mizukami-kun is not from our office, so there should be no need to worry too much. And it seems that Mizukami-kun's agent is not What a good match."
"Hmm..." Mizunami Hayato always felt that there was something in Kimura Takuya's words: "Have you... met our eldest lady?"
"Miss?" Kimura Takuya seemed surprised by this title, but then he nodded in agreement and said, "She is indeed the eldest lady..."
"Oh..." Mizuna Hayato turned his head and looked ahead, his thoughts drifting away.
Could it be because of something Nao Fujiwara did?
...
Regardless of how he gets along with SMAP's managers behind the scenes, the cooperation between Minakami Hayato and the five SMAP people is quite pleasant.
For Mizuna Hayato, singing "Heart Beats" in the style of "LionHeart" is also quite interesting.
After bidding farewell to SMAP, and sitting in the car driven by Nanao who finally got her driver's license, Minakami Hayato made a call to Fujiwara Nao.
"Miss, have you provoked Johnny's Iijima Sanchi?"
"Who?" Fujiwara Nao asked subconsciously, but quickly realized: "Oh, it's that agent! I've met her."
The corners of Minakami Hayato's mouth twitched. Well, seeing how unimpressed Fujiwara Nao was, maybe it was because Mijima Iijima was ignored by her that she became angry.
"What? Have you seen her?" Fujiwara Nao said with a smile in her tone.
"Well, we chatted for a while."
"Yes, why can't I see her when I participate in "SMAPXSMAP"? I met her when we went there for the first time. Her desire to control her artists is not ordinary. What did she say to you?"
"She seems to have a good attitude today, but she seems to be dissatisfied with me for stealing the job of Yamashita Tomohisa she led? It should be a matter of "The Proposal Battle"." Hayato Minakami said.
Fujiwara Nao chuckled twice: "It's not just "The Proposal Battle"."
"What?"
"Anyway, let's wait until I get back to talk about everything."
"You always say that, you've been there for almost half a year!" Mizuna Hayato complained.
"Isn't this bad? No one cares about you."
"If you say so..."
"I will probably come back after the box office of "Love in the Sky" is released in the first week."
Only then did Hayato Minazin know that Fujiwara Nao was making rapid progress there. "Love Sky" just caught up with the good time and became the first batch of exchange objects jointly recommended by the Kujo family and the Konoe family. As long as "Love Sky" is released If the box office doesn't hit the market for a week, then the movie can be released there.
"But maybe this is also due to you."
"ah?"
"Your Ultraman character seems to be very popular here."
"ha?!!"
