At the prearranged time, Hayato Minato and Nao Fujiwara went downstairs together, preparing to go to Quintessence, followed by three assistants who had got off work.
In fact, it was Minakami Hayato's turn to follow Yokoya Kotona recently, but since the opportunity was rare, he brought them all, which was regarded as an employee benefit.
Arriving downstairs, Mizuna Hayato suddenly stopped and looked to the other side, towards a van parked on the roadside.
"What's wrong?" Fujiwara Nao asked.
"Someone is taking pictures." Minato Hayato replied, waving to the van.
"Do you... have a good relationship?"
"No, there seem to be more people with me recently. Occasionally there will be people I don't know. Today's one is the one I'm more familiar with."
"You seem very proud."
"Where, where..." Hayato Minato was about to be humble, but he turned around and saw the murderous eyes of the eldest lady, and said quickly: "Let's go, let's not miss the scheduled time."
The eldest lady hummed softly and got into the car through the door opened by Minato Hayato.
Minakami Hayato was also careless for a moment. When he was upstairs, the eldest lady wanted to settle a score with him because he was photographed singing with Erika Toda and Yui Aragaki last night.
"Rurouni Kenshin" was a huge hit, which already made Mizuna Hayato's reputation even higher. "Voice of the Sea" added another hit, causing many magazine reporters who had not followed him before to start keeping an eye on him. They were fascinated by him, and their attitude of letting these "teasers" go unnoticed made the reporters much bolder. Sometimes they even stopped pretending and just slapped them in the face.
In the past, like the time he sent Horikita Maki home, he could have asked familiar reporters to take photos of him, so that he would have a clear idea of what news would be released tomorrow. However, with the recent increase in "newcomers", he has been The eldest lady has been caught more often. These newcomers don't have martial ethics. They started writing essays when they photographed him with women. Yesterday, he did nothing at all, but he was written up as spending a good night with two women.
But the more times he did it, the more indifferent it became for Mizuna Hayato.
"I've already made a hit movie with a box office of 9 billion, and I'm still not allowed to enjoy it?"
Of course, when explaining to the eldest lady, he still didn't dare to be so direct and bold, and still chose the classic and easy-to-use method - diverting attention.
...
Kishida’s cooking on Wednesday is the best way to divert attention for a food lover like her. When she comes to Quintessence, Kishida personally serves new dishes developed for the TV series to the lady on Wednesday, and explains the cooking methods and tastes on the side. Points.
"This dessert is the latest masterpiece of our pastry chef. Considering your taste, Ms. Kujo, we chose a richer flavor..."
I have to say that this kind of cooking with self-explanation really tastes more interesting.
Nodding his head, Minato Hayato put the delicate and lovely piece of dessert into his mouth and tasted it carefully.
In fact, Mizuna Hayato has worked hard to learn all kinds of etiquette for filming. He can also do the etiquette of eating French food meticulously, but compared to the eldest lady who has learned etiquette since childhood, he is still much inferior.
And he actually always had a question about the eldest lady. Every time he had dinner with her, she would always think like this:
"How do you manage to be so graceful and beautiful in your etiquette movements, yet eat at the same speed as me?"
Fujiwara Nao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at him angrily: "What I just asked you was 'How are these dishes?' wasn't it?"
"Oh, the food is quite delicious." Minato Hayato looked at her expectantly: "What about my question?"
The eldest lady took a deep breath, as if she was enduring something: "Did I eat quickly?"
Without even thinking about it, Mizunami Hayato said, "Well, it's actually nothing, it's just compared to..."
Midway through his words, Minato Hayato suddenly stopped and his danger radar activated. Comparing a woman with other women in front of her was a taboo among taboos.
"Compared to what?"
"Compared to...compared to me, you are still inferior. Hahaha, I won this round."
Minato Hayato's change of topic was abrupt and his laughter was stiff. The eldest lady was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just put away the handkerchief, kicked him with her white feet wearing high heels under the table, and then said calmly: "Okay, let's go and talk to him." Kishida-san, let’s discuss the script.”
"Okay." Mizuna Hayato agreed with his hand.
Before standing up, he reached out and touched his calf. The silver pointed high heels that the eldest lady wore today were quite painful when kicked up.
...
"...Hirako Shohei will be played by myself, and then the role of the girlfriend and the role of the pastry chef will be played by our company's actresses Yuko Araki and Riho Yoshioka, and then this The food editor is Nainao, this..."
Minakami Hayato introduced the tentative casting of this drama to Kishida Wednesday one by one.
In the finalized script of this drama, except for the heroine, the other female characters don't have many roles, but all of them have their own characteristics and plots, and they are good characters.
Previously at the music festival, Minato Hayato was excited and agreed to give Araki Yuko and Yoshioka Riho the opportunity to cooperate. After telling the eldest lady, she not only did not object, but looked at him with gratified eyes: "You finally know how to lead the company The newcomer."
Then the eldest lady increased her efforts and assigned all roles other than the heroine to her own people.
In fact, if the heroine wasn't a mature woman, she wouldn't have let Stargaze have it exclusively. However, Hirosue Ryoko suggested by Minato Hayato was also a good candidate, so she agreed after thinking about it.
They say they are bringing in newcomers, but after such a long time, these actresses are not considered newcomers anymore. They have basically appeared in many dramas and are now familiar faces to the audience.
Except for Nainao.
Nanao was forced to act by Minato Hayato last time. After taking a few small roles, she still had a lot of resistance to acting. She rarely took the initiative to find resources like others. This time, there happened to be a cold character in the play. A role that is beautiful and has a strong aura is just right for her to play, and Mizuna Hayato can also train and train her.
Kishida listened carefully on Wednesday and looked at the photos of the actors attached to the character designs without saying much.
He is a smart man, and the plot of the script seems good so far. The actors are a powerful combination of Kimura Takuya + Hirosue Ryoko + Minakami Hayato. What kind of bicycle does he need!
So the conversation between them and Kishida on Wednesday progressed very quickly. While drinking the wine provided by Minamiwa Winery, the few of them had a good time chatting. They had already decided on most of the things they needed. They only needed to add details later to form a team and start filming. .
But before that, Hayato Minato and Nao Fujiwara need to go to Fuji TV to discuss with people from Horipro and Fuji TV about the new drama that was discussed at the last premiere.
Surprisingly, the negotiations for the new drama this time were not as smooth as Kishida's Wednesday.
