The weather is getting warmer. Gradually, people take off their thick coats and put on thinner long-sleeved trousers. In March, Japan has entered spring. The most obvious change is that the cherry blossoms in the park have begun to bloom. , it’s cherry blossom season.
In Tokyo, a city with constantly flashing neon lights, the New Takanawa Grand Prince Hotel in Minato-ku, Tokyo, as a dazzling landscape, is ushering in the busiest moment of the year. Cars are coming and going in front of the hotel. Everyone was dressed dignifiedly, men in suits and leather shoes, women in dresses and high heels. Many people stopped in the distance to talk about what big event had happened.
A black business car stopped at the door, and the sliding door opened. Sato Shizuka, who was wearing casual clothes, got out of the car, lifted the satchel on her shoulder, then reached out to take the hand of the big condor in the car, and held her After getting off the car, the Great Condor was wearing a black dress. The cashmere around the neckline fit tightly against her skin. The sleeves of the dress were short sleeves, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on the Great Condor's arms. The front of the dress was embroidered with A neat vertical row of golden steel buckles, without too much decoration, simple and decent, she got out of the car like a noble princess.
"Oh yo..."
She looked extremely beautiful, but when she got out of the car, the heel of her shoe was a little off and she almost sprained her foot.
"Fortunately I didn't listen to your suggestion of wearing high heels." The Great Condor said happily.
"You look good and elegant when you wear high heels. Do children understand what elegance is?"
Letting go of the Great Condor's hand, Sato Shizuka rolled her eyes.
"I'm not used to wearing them. I usually wear sneakers for dance practice. These low-heeled shoes are awkward for me to wear."
"You have to wear it even if you are not used to it. This kind of occasion will be inevitable in the future." Sato Shizuka walked in front and said without looking back, "Whether it is Nogizaka or in your own name."
"forgive me..."
She wasn't used to such big occasions, especially if they were so high-end.
Tonight, she was invited to attend the 39th Japan Film Academy Awards as a member of the crew of "Hai Jie Diary".
The Japan Film Academy Awards, also known as the Japanese Film Oscars, were founded in 1978 and are hosted by the Japan Academy Awards Association. They are the only major film awards in Japan that have a live television awards ceremony. There are awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, and Topic Award. The Japan Film Academy Awards, the Japan Film Blue Ribbon Awards, the Mainichi Film Awards, and the Film Weekly Awards are also known as the four major film awards in the Japanese film industry.
The organizer contracted the Pamir Hall of the International Pavilion to hold this award ceremony. In the hall, she could see many staff members with name badges coming and going in and out of the court room, and she also saw many familiar faces. Of course, it was She only looks familiar, Kuroki Hana, Oizumi Yo, Asano Tadanobu, Mitsushima Hikari, etc.
Naturally, there are also her two favorite sisters, Haruka Ayase and Masami Nagasawa, standing together at this time, and another uncle with stubble talking and laughing.
"I'm going to ask for a flow chart, you..."
While Sato Shizuka was speaking, she felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing past her. When she looked back, she could only see the running back of the big condor.
"Kore-eda-san, good evening."
Running up to the three of them, the Great Condor greeted Hirokazu Kore-eda politely.
"Well, good evening." Hirokazu Kore-eda nodded politely in response.
"Sister Yao! Hehe!"
After saying hello to the director, the Great Condor turned to his two sisters and ran into Ayase Haruka's arms, rubbing his head in her arms non-stop. Moreover, Ayase Haruka was still wearing a satin dress today. It was really It's big, soft, smooth and fragrant, making people addicted to it. Ayase Haruka doesn't mind the perverted behavior of the big condor. In her opinion, the big condor is just a little sister. She has such a beautiful and lovely sister to act like a baby with her. She likes it. It's too late, how can you get bored.
"Why don't you have any clothes? Your arms are so cold with such short sleeves." Ayase Haruka stroked the head of the girl in her arms with one hand, and rubbed the exposed arm of the big condor with the other hand.
"not cold."
"Hey, hey, me, me."
At this moment, Masami Nagasawa, who had been left hanging next to him for a while, was unhappy. He patted the great condor on the shoulder, pointed at himself and asked.
"I like it," the Great Condor said perfunctorily.
"Hey, let me tell you, why is your attitude towards Haruka different from how you treat me? I'm not your sister anymore?" Nagasawa Masami said angrily with her hands on her hips. He reached out and pinched the big condor's cheeks on both sides, and threatened: "Kiss me, and I won't care about you after you kiss me."
Nagasawa Masami put her face in front of the great condor.
"Stop, sister, if I take one bite, I will become a fan."
"I..."
Ayase Haruka watched the two arguing with a smile, as if everything was back to the summer of the year before last.
"By the way, where is Sister Xia Fan?" After breaking free from Nagasawa Masami's clutches, the Great Condor didn't see the other sister.
"She's probably still on the way. Hey, she's here right now." Nagasawa Masami glanced at the door and saw Xia Fan walking in with her long skirt fluttering.
Xia Fan also went straight over.
"Good evening Kore-eda-san." Likewise, he said hello to Kore-eda Hirokazu first.
"Good evening. You guys talk first, I'll go over there."
Seeing the four of them gathering together, Kore-eda Yuka didn't stay here anymore. There happened to be a few acquaintances on the other side. It would be much happier to let the four girls chat about their own topics than to talk to himself.
"There are a lot of people here today."
The Great Condor, who had never seen this scene before, couldn't help but sigh.
Most of the stars that can be seen on TV are here, some are famous but not famous, some are familiar but not familiar. She has only seen this kind of grand scene during the last red and white show.
"It's your first time here, you will definitely feel this way." Nagasawa Masami said, "But you will get used to it later."
"Speaking of which, Ying, do you have any intention of becoming an actor?" Xia Fan suddenly asked.
"Actor?" The Great Condor looked at Xia Fan doubtfully, "Doesn't it count now?"
"I mean, break away from your idol status and go to other agencies."
"...No."
The Great Condor gave the answer without much thought.
"Yeah, that's right." Xia Fan chuckled, "But when you want to graduate from being an idol, you can tell me."
"Are you starting to pull people in?" Masami Nagasawa held the big condor in his arms from behind, "Eagle, as long as you are happy on your own, it will be fine."
The entertainment industry is like a lake. On the surface, it is calm and the waves are calm. The upper water seems to be clear, but as long as it is stirred, the sediment below can mix the entire lake water. Of course, the idol circle is also cruel, but Nogizaka can be said to be a rare exception. It can be seen that the big condor is very comfortable in the group, and Nagasawa Masami does not want the big condor to be eroded by the entertainment industry culture prematurely.
"Um."
"Okay, let's go in first." Ayase Haruka pushed the three people inside.
After all, an important award ceremony is indispensable for the anti-locking process. The staff of the organizer and the Great Condor described the general process. The first entry was led by the Actress Newcomer Award, including the Great Condor, from the door to the hall. There is a red carpet inside. After walking on the red carpet, you can return to the table where your crew is, and then wait for the host to call your name and go on stage to receive the award.
There will be a small preview before the official start. The big condor is separated from the other three and stands alone in a corner, looking a little lonely.
"Yo."
While he was looking around at the magnificently decorated hotel out of boredom, the Great Condor heard a familiar voice from behind, which seemed to be calling him.
"Yamazaki-san."
When she turned around, she saw Kento Yamazaki in Tibetan clothes walking towards her.
"Good evening." The Great Condor bowed slightly.
"Good evening. Long time no see."
"Yeah, the last time was when the announcement was made. It's been...almost three months?" the Great Condor thought for a moment and said.
"Absolutely. This outfit... suits you very well."
Kento Yamazaki pointed at the black dress she was wearing.
"Thanks."
"..."
"..."
The two sides fell silent, and suddenly they didn't know what to talk about.
After the incident with Mai Shiraishi at the amusement park, does the Great Condor really have no idea about Kento Yamazaki? Obviously it was impossible. A young man's longing for love and his first love were not easy to suppress. But what could she do? She could only try her best to keep this idea in her heart. She is a relatively rational person, and it is more because of her sense of responsibility as a female idol that she can suppress such thoughts.
Although Yamazaki Kento has not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, it has been six years. He has met many outstanding girls, but in view of his screen image and for the sake of his future, he has slowly learned to hide it. He has also experienced this kind of feeling, so the Great Condor feels.
This is often the case. It is clear that both parties can be together, but due to various factors, the two people go further and further apart.
"By the way, add LINE?"
Yamazaki Kento made a show of preparing to take out his mobile phone.
"Um..." Da Shenying subconsciously touched the mobile phone in his back pocket, "I don't have my mobile phone with me. It's with my agent. She doesn't have it anymore either. Let's wait until it's over."
She almost took out her phone and prepared to exchange accounts, but after thinking about it, she had to ask her manager's opinion first. After all, this was a male artist.
"okay."
"Wise man!"
As soon as the two of them finished talking, a girl wearing a strapless white dress came up behind Kento Yamazaki.
"TAO-chan."
Tao Tsuchiya, born in 1993, is affiliated with Sony Music Artists. In 2005, he won the Examiner's Special Award in the audition competition and embarked on the road of acting. In 2008, he started his personal acting career by participating in "Tokyo Sonata" Career, in recent years, she has attracted attention for her role as the spy girl "Makimachi So" in the manga adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin. In 2015, she starred in the NHK morning drama "Nozomi". She can be said to be one of the hottest new generation actresses recently.
It is precisely because of the drama "Nozomi" that Tsuchiya Tao and Yamazaki Kento, the two starring actors, got to know each other and became friends during the filming.
"Hello, this is the first time we meet, Tsuchiya Taiho." Tsuchiya Taiho greeted the big condor politely.
"Hello, it's our first time meeting you, the Great Condor."
The Great Condor naturally wanted to return the favor.
"I have watched "Umi Street Diary" and "Orange". Ogami-san acted very well." Tao Tsuchiya praised generously.
"No, no, I'm still a newbie and I still need to practice."
"It must have been hard when filming with the wise man, after all, he can be so stupid sometimes." Tao Tsuchiya knocked on his head and pointed at Sang Huai.
"Where did I go? Don't talk nonsense." After hearing what Tao Tsuchiya said about himself, Yamazaki Ken defended himself.
"Yamazaki-san took good care of me on the set and taught me a lot of acting skills. It was me who caused him a lot of trouble."
The Great Condor answered cautiously, this was her first contact with other people of the same age besides the Nogizaka members, so she had to leave a good impression.
"Everyone, the award ceremony is about to begin. Please return to your previous positions. Thank you for your hard work."
Without giving them any extra chance to talk about business, the staff began to arrange the positions of the artists outside the door. The hall was already full of people. Both sides of the red carpet were bustling with people. Most of them were representatives of magazines and media. At a glance, there were a hundred or so people.
"The Japan Film Academy Awards Ceremony, the winners are invited to attend."
The female host's opening words came from the speakers everywhere, and then the staff guided the Great Condor and others to the back of the curtain, indicating that they could appear.
"Newcomer Award-winning actor."
There are four Newcomer Awards, starting with actress. From left to right, they are Kasumi Arimura, Tao Tsuchiya, Ogami Taka and Ryoko Fujino.
