Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 28

Beep!Beep!

Under an apartment in Minamisenjucho, Arakawa Ward, a 1994 Lincoln Continental was honking its horn.

This is the 50th anniversary edition of the Lincoln Continental, with Lincoln's 50th anniversary logo and body stripes on the body and a brown elk leather interior.

After Bunta Takakura got out of the car, he got into the passenger seat of the vehicle.

Sony record producer Keiko Kanda has a well-proportioned figure and is wearing a black and white textured shirt. The material of the short-sleeved shirt looks very comfortable and looks simple and elegant.

She wears a pair of red sunglasses, clean short hair, and a cold expression, giving her a fashionable, trendy and stylish feel.

…………

Takakura Bunta noticed that Keiko Kanda seemed to have taken care of herself, and her overall complexion was much better than the last time she recorded "Miracle Reappearance".

It seems that she must have spent the "Twenty-Fifth Store Charity Honorary Co-branded Card" given to Kanda Keiko last time.

…………

In the entertainment industry, girls with androgynous short hair and girls with glasses are both terrifying beings who eat people without spitting out their bones.

It may be that your usual words and deeds should be consistent with your appearance and personality.

Especially in a place like the entertainment industry, the collapse of one's character means the end of one's acting career.

This makes girls with these two types of personalities in the Japanese entertainment industry extremely repressed by nature. Once they are let out, they will be like the dam bursting in a flood.

…………

When encountering these two types of charitable donors in the entertainment industry, volunteer overtime subsidies must be increased by 45%.

This is not industry discrimination

....................................

"Miss Seiko Uchiyama is a producer at TV Asahi."

"At the beginning of this year, TV Asahi and Longguo Jianghuai TV signed a TV series introduction agreement and are preparing overseas theme songs."

"Your foreign language is good, so I recommended you to her. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on you."

Kanda Keiko stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and spoke very fast to Takakura Bunta at the Sumida River Expressway in Arakawa District.

"clear."

Takakura Bunta looked out the window and touched the Shinjuku consumer card in his pocket.

…………

In the structure system of Japanese entertainment television stations, producers have a huge say.

The producer assumes full responsibility for the entire project from the planning and establishment of the work to production and commercialization, and has independent financial rights over project expenses.

The director is only in the production process, as the highest person responsible for the efficiency and quality of the work, and has to apply for production funds from the producer.

....................................

Forty minutes later, a private bar in the port area.

Takakura Bunta met Miss Seiko Uchiyama of TV Asahi introduced to him by Kanda Keiko.

Ms. Uchiyama Seiko has just completed the "Love with a Kiss" project and is preparing for the connection with the Dragon Country Market.

According to the historical line of the original plane, this 96 version of "Love with a Kiss" will not be introduced by Jianghuai Satellite TV until 2009.

…………

During the honeymoon period between China and Japan in the 20s, the two sides carried out close cooperation in the economic and cultural fields.

RB's major TV stations have taken the initiative to contact the major TV stations in Dragon Kingdom to sign TV series introduction agreements.

…………

Keiko Kanda recommended a new singer who was very fluent in foreign languages ​​and had experience in composing the overseas theme song for "Ultraman Tega".

Therefore, Miss Uchiyama Seiko agreed to meet with Takakura Bunta.

…………

Uchiyama Seiko has a pretty good resume. She graduated from the University of the Arts in Paris and completed her initial accumulation by shooting commercials.

Then he joined TV Asahi as a producer assistant.

It was not until this year that he became a producer and completed his first project "Love with a Kiss", which gave him a good start in his career. He then worked as a producer on "Hot Air", "Doctor X", "The Negotiator", "Bad Guys", "The Way of the Beast" and other works.

Among them, "Doctor-X~Surgeon Daimon Shiko~" played by Ryoko Yonekura has become TV Asahi's top series IP.

…………

Even if we don't talk about Uchiyama Seiko's future status on TV Asahi, this year's "Love with a Kiss" is worthy of Bunta Takakura's efforts.

This TV series is adapted from "Naughty Kiss" by Kaoru Tada.

The play tells the story of Kotoko Aihara, who is not good at studying but cheerful and sincere. Due to a dramatic kiss, she develops an admiration for the genius Naoki Irie, and gradually warms Naoki's originally cold heart...

…………

Takashi Kashiwahara played the role of Naoki Irie in the 96 version.

He once participated in the 6th "JUNON SUPER BOY" audition, which is a contest for beautiful boys aged 13 to 17 years old hosted by the editorial department of RB's well-known magazine "JUNON".

Mr. Kitagawa of Johnny's is the largest sponsor of the "JUNON SUPER BOY" tryout.

In 1993, Kashiwahara Takashi won the championship and officially debuted.

Last year, Takashi Kashiwahara starred in the youth romance film "Love Letter".

He became famous after winning the New Actor Award at the 19th RB Film Awards, the New Actor Award at the 10th Takasaki Film Festival, and the Newcomer Award at the 21st Osaka Film Festival.

Known as "the last beautiful boy of the 20th century".

…………

The heroine Kotoko Aihara is played by Aiko Sato.

She once won the honor of the 6th "RB National Beautiful Girl". She deliberately acted ugly for the show to make her character more in line with the comic book character setting.

…………

Of course, what interests Takakura Bunta the most is the supporting actress, Ozawa Makoto.

Ozawa Makoto plays the beautiful and arrogant Reiko Matsumoto, a top student in Class A.

Two years ago, she was discovered by a talent scout on her way out of high school, entered the entertainment industry, and became the leader of a generation of beauties.

Ozawa Makoto's family background is prominent.

My great-great-grandfather was a civil law scholar and one of the founders of Central University.

My great-grandfather was a famous economist and served as a special economic adviser to four cabinets.

Young ladies from a family like Ozawa Makoto are potential consumers and the target customers for high-end customized cosmetics.

…………

Bunta Takakura asked Uchiyama Seiko about the outline of the story of "Love with a Kiss" while recalling the songs in his previous life that fit the plot.

It didn’t take long for him to think of a song that met the requirements, asked Kanda Keiko for paper and pen, and started writing the lyrics.

..............................

Uchiyama Seiko, while looking at Takakura Bunta who was working at his desk, chatted with Kanda Keiko about internal industry developments.

She scorned Takakura Bunta as a "singer-songwriter" at all.

…………

Kanda Keiko had long told her that Takakura Bunta was an old-version singer who relied purely on talent and a huge voice with an iron lung.

The appearance is not in line with the mainstream market, and the music theory knowledge is very poor, and I can't even compose music.

The theme song of "Ultraman Tega" may be more likely to be a flash of inspiration, a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

Although Bunta Takakura has a talent for foreign languages, the singer is not a translator, so he still has to rely on his musical ability to speak.

Therefore, Uchiyama Seiko had no idea of ​​asking Takakura Bunta to sing. As a producer of TV Asahi, she knew many people who could write songs.

Come and meet Takakura Bunta today.

Mainly because Kanda Keiko mentioned during the chat that Takakura Bunta had a "Twenty-Fifth Store Charity Honorary Co-branded Card".

This is an internationally recognized certificate of honor for public welfare, the right to be recommended within the Fortune Global 500 companies, individual tax exemptions in 25 super metropolitan areas around the world, and priority charity fundraising rights in Shinjuku.
