394. Great Expectations
At night, the club in Bobu was holding a lively party.
There were quite a few men and women present, all of them were young. Among these people, Matsumoto Naifu was considered old and seemed out of place at this party.
In fact, when it comes to identity, among the people present, he had nothing to do with the art world, and was only invited by the protagonist of the party.
"There are quite a few people coming." After Matsumoto arrived, he complimented the protagonist of the party.
That's true. For this birthday party, about twenty or thirty people gathered here to have fun. However, when he heard him say this, Mahiko Kondo felt like he was stabbed by something in his heart.
However, he still concealed his unhappiness and said to Matsumoto Naifu with a smile: "It's better to be lively."
In previous years, he had more birthday parties than this year.
Once he loses power, people in the art world are more realistic than anyone else. Because of this, Masahiko Kondo, who was once an idol, can hardly stand this gap than anyone else, and he wants to make a comeback no matter what.
Make a comeback...
However, the idol world can no longer tolerate him.
The grand reward made Johnnis lose all face. Johnnissan no longer have hope for him. On the side of Marysan, he was beaten and scolded, and with Keruo Kuroyuki helping to plead, he finally got Marysan's forgiveness.
As long as Marysan is there, his position in the firm will be stable. However, after leaving the firm, he is still an idol who offended half of the music industry and is no longer popular.
Now the firm has both the youth team that debuted early but still has popularity, and the Genji who just debuted hard. Even Toshihiko Tahara, who was at the same time as him, was in much better condition than him. Now, he has long lost the value of being invested.
The profession of idols is different from actors. As long as an actor has good works, he can regain attention. However, once the idol has passed the flowering period, he will be beaten to death by the back waves on the beach.
However, even if you transform into an actor, the actors' industry does not look at idols differently. Moreover, today is different from the past. Without the momentum of being the peak of the past, there is almost no way out in the idol world. Now, when you become an actor, you can only start with supporting roles.
It is precisely because it is unbearable that the gap from falling from a high place that I urgently want to make a comeback. How can such a Kondo Mahiko tolerate erasing the halo of the past and start doing such a thing again from a small role?
He was determined to focus on his racing career, but he couldn't show off his racing performance.
If he can't even be seen on the track, then in the eyes of the world, it will completely fall to the bottom. Because of this, even if he wants to be swollen and fat, Kondo Mahiko has been paying for the competition out of his own pocket this year.
Racing is a very expensive sport. If this continues, Mahiko Kondo will not be able to bear it.
Life has always been smooth sailing, but suddenly it has come to a dilemma of facing no way out. At such a moment, Masahiko Kondo hates only one person the most.
It was all the fault of that woman Nakamori! If she hadn't caused trouble, would things have become like this?!
Marysan is right. His life is all because of being mixed with that woman, so it becomes worse and worse!
When he decided to date, Nakamori was still a little idol in the rising period. He was already in the idol world. As a result, after that, his momentum continued to decline, and Nakamori became more and more prosperous.
This kind of woman will only steal other people's fortunes, and she cannot bring any good things to others...
Thinking of Akina Nakamori's proposal to reject him for buying a house, he seemed to be indifferent to anything he said. Mahiko Kondo suddenly became angry because this woman who had been fooled by him in the past suddenly didn't listen to him.
After the grand prize incident, the cold war began. Mahiko Kondo tried to ease her relationship with her. As a result, the more she wanted to do, the more she would alienate Nakamori Akina. After the negotiation of buying a house broke down, the relationship between the two had long been in name only and was no different from breaking up.
Both of them have birthdays in July, but a few days ago, Akina Nakamori's birthday had nothing to do with Mahiko Kondo, and now his birthday party has nothing to do with Akina Nakamori.
Not only that, the heroine tonight is another person
"Amei."
Masahiko Kondo smiled and introduced Masamoto Naifu to the other person who was in the venue.
When Amei was twenty years old, she represented Xiangjiang at the Tokyo Music Festival. She later released records and held concerts in Japan. During this period, activities in Japan were very frequent.
In the 1980s, Japan's music scene had a lot of interactions with Hong Kong. Idols like Kashiwahara, who had expired in the local area, were still very popular in Hong Kong, and the same was true for Mahiko Kondo. When the local popularity had already declined, Hong Kong was still a big star.
When they went to Xiangjiang to attend the event, Mahiko Kondo and Amei met.
He lied that he had broken up with Akina Nakamori and dated Amei. Later, after he couldn't keep it covered, he also threw out the famous saying "Amei, you can be so independent and not me, but I will not be able to survive without Nakamori."
Now, not only did Nakamoto not survive without him, but instead took the initiative to alienate him, and their relationship was in name only. However, because of Amei, because of her distantness with Nakamoto, she opened her heart and got closer to him again.
"This Matsumoto Sang is an expert in real estate investment." Masahiko Kondo introduced Matsumoto to her.
If it weren't for the collapse of the conversation with Akina Nakamori, what Matsumoto Nakamoto wanted to meet would be another person.
Makoto Kondo and Akina Nakamori proposed to buy a house, but they did not buy a house for marriage as he said, but instead made other ideas.
After the grand prize incident, he offended the music industry. He was eager to invest in the racing career and made a comeback, which required a lot of money. In today's world, if you want to make a lot of money, the fastest thing is to invest in real estate and stocks.
In an era of gold everywhere, he was not without investment. Otherwise, the income from being an idol alone would not be enough to support the current racing career of Johnniez's idol, but the reward was not high, and the commission was very good.
Besides, in addition to racing, there are also various expenses and money, so how can there be enough?
Now he urgently needs a lot of money to turn around. The best way is to buy land and make money by relying on this land. What he thought before was to let Akina Nakamori produce this "initial capital" and make a decision. Mahiko Kondo set his mind to Ame again.
However, Ame and Akina Nakamori are different, and Makoto Kondo knows the differences in their personalities.
If you want to convince Akina Nakamori, getting married is the best bait. Although the bait this time was soaked in water for too long and the taste finally melted in the water, Kondo Mahiko believed that Akina Nakamori had a problem, and it was not that he used the wrong bait.
But Amei has been struggling since childhood and has seen through the world. She is not as naive as Nakamori. In front of her, if Mahiko Kondo tells a lie, she will easily be seen through. Besides, her personality is independent, and bait like marriage will definitely not work for her.
Mahiko Kondo thought about her ideas and thought of another strategy.
After thinking about it, I suggested to her, "Now is the golden age of real estate, and you will win if you invest with your eyes closed. I have a good piece of land and plan to buy it and entrust it to professionals to help with it. Do you want to go with me?"
Amei has an independent personality and has her own ideas and opinions. Since this is the case, she can only throw out benefits.
However, only benefits are not enough, but also humane.
"Let me go with you too?"
Masahiko Kondo replied to her, "Yes, let's invest together, if that's the meaning of this land will be different."
If you lie to Ame, you will be seen through. However, the most advanced lies are that every sentence is true. Besides, Masahiko Kondo thought to himself that he was not trying to cheat her of money, he just borrowed it first.
There is not only the romance of affection for her, but also the benefits that can actually make money are placed in front of her, and there are even reasons to justify her behavior in advance. Everything looks very open and honest, but only the true thoughts of Kondo Mahiko are not open and honest enough.
...
However, whether using marriage as bait to persuade Akina Nakamori or to win over Ame to buy land, Kondo Mahiko has never thought of marrying any of them.
Now he is eager for that kind of "absolute power", the kind that can allow Marysan to manipulate the awards and make the usual majestic song performers helpless, and with the help of Akina Nakamori's power, he can barely maintain the decent absolute power.
Only Marysan, who had shown him this power, could give him this power.
Marisan didn't like Akina Nakamori, and after the grand prize incident, he hated Akina Nakamori who made her fall. Moreover, after the incident, Akina Nakamori refused to help him restore his reputation, so Marisan hated her even more and hoped that they would break up quickly.
Although there was some unpleasantness in the grand prize, Marysan seemed to have not given up on the idea of letting him be his son-in-law, hoping that Jingzi would get along with him more.
The reason why Marysan wanted him to be his son-in-law was that Masahiko Kondo understood in his heart because he was obedient.
The Empress of Johnniez wanted her daughter to become the "master" who was just like her, so she had to hand over her most loyal dog.
Mahiko Kondo knew Marysan’s thoughts, but she didn’t care. So what if she was at a disadvantage at the beginning? Who can tell the truth about the future? Even a "house slave" has a time to turn around.
While following Marisan's idea, he showed his affection for Jingzi, who was lukewarm to him, he was looking forward to getting what he wanted from Amei and waiting for a comeback...
Nairo Matsumoto explained carefully about the land and how it would work in the future. Masahiko Kondo watched Ame gradually show an interest expression, and her mood improved as well.
Although Nakamori would only take away his fortune and could not bring any good things. However, this situation would end here. Kondo Mahiko knew that he would start to change from here. There was another road to life and good luck waiting for him.
...
Yoyogi's recording studio.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Seiichiro Ririhara and Tatsuguchi were also sorting out the music score. He heard the door of the recording studio knocking twice from outside, and then being pushed open.
"Good evening."
The one who appeared in front of the two was Shinichi Iwahashi, who had not shown his face for a long time.
Shinichi Iwahashi was very busy these days, and it was not easy to meet him. When talking about work, the most common use of pagers and phones was tonight. He suddenly appeared in the recording studio, which even surprised the two men who were working.
After the simple greetings, Shinichi Iwahashi sat down, chatted with the two of them for a while, looked at the music score they had compiled, and then asked Seiichiro Ririhara, "You are here to keep the test sing tape Akamatsusan said, right?"
"Yes."
Seiichiro Kuriraba stood up, walked to the console, and went to find the test sing of Kurichi Yukiko. While searching, he smiled and said, "You have only been here until now. Haruko has asked me several times in private."
Haruko Akamatsu did not call Shinichi Iwahashi for a second time urging him to listen to the phone number he brought with him.
Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled, "I've been so busy lately."
"Everyone knows this..." Seiichiro Riribayashi prepared the sample he found and quickly greeted him, "It's OK, Iwahashi Sang."
"Thank you." Shin Iwahashi came to the console and put on his headphones.
This is a cappella song "Ropongmu's Heart". The female voice sang the first sentence, and Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but think about it. It was a clear voice.
Clean, without any impurities. This first sentence alone is enough to make people listen carefully.
Shinichi Iwahashi's absolute sound, and every flaw in this test sing belt could not be hidden from him. It can be heard that the girl who sang this song had not received much professional system training, because this showed her talent.
Where did Akamatsu Haruko find such a person?
After listening to the trial sing, Shinichi Iwahashi took off his headphones.
Seiichiro Kuriraba looked at his expression and said, "Haruko asked me if I could take her friend to the recording studio. I thought it would be fine since she was her friend, so I agreed on her own. Unexpectedly, I asked me to help record the audition show."
"Did Li Linsang help me record it?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked him, "What kind of person is that?"
"Is it about Pu Chi Sang?" Seiichiro Ririhara smiled, "To be honest, when I saw it for the first time, I didn't expect that it would be someone who could sing such a song."
"Sir Pu Chi?"
"The same surname as the Holy Son Sangmoto family." Tatsugura Hirakawa also said.
"However, I am definitely not a relative of Holy Sonsan." Seiichiro Riribayashi's tone was so sure that Tatsukawa also looked at him. He explained calmly: "If he was a relative of Holy Sonsan, he would not be just a model artist."
This is true. If the cousin of the Holy Son, in this era when the popular family debuted, he would have to be dug up by a scout and packaged it as an idol.
Miho Nakayama Ninja, Yuriko Ishida Hiroshi.
Even the uneasy sister of Taopu Star family has a scout who has made her debut.
"Model artist?" Shinichi Iwahashi was a little out of shape.
"Haruko introduced this. Because she was a model, she came here just after work and was wearing makeup, so she said that she didn't expect her to be able to sing like this," said Seiichiro Riribayashi.
"Is it so powerful? Then I have to listen."
It was the first time Hirakawa Tatsuya knew that there was such a test sing, which was sung by Haruko Akamatsu. Seiichiro Kurirabaya praised it, and Shinichi Iwahashi looked like he thought that this Kuchi Sang was singing well, and he was also curious.
Of course, another important reason for being curious is that this is the test sing of the people brought by Haruko Akamatsu.
