Chapter 49: Butterfly Flutters Its Wings
Kitano Takeshi was puzzled as to why Shirakawa Kaede was the composer of the song "Dragonfly".
Especially after learning from Masayuki Mori that this song has basically never left the top three of the Oricon charts in the past two months and also had the highest score in the latest issue of "The best ten", they surrounded Shirakawa Kaede and looked left and right.
He couldn't understand how Baichuan Feng, who looked like a boring good student, had managed to get into the entertainment industry.
He even made a name for himself, but at the same time he felt a little jealous.
I started out as an elevator boy and a building cleaner. It took me two years to finally get the chance to perform on the stage of a small theater.
Compared with Baichuan Feng who quietly launched a big satellite, it seemed that his senior brother was outdone .
Kitano Takeshi crossed his arms and pinched his chin, staring blankly at Shirakawa Kaede, "Shirakawa boy, are you planning to drop out of Meiji University?"
"Ah? Why?" Baichuan Feng couldn't keep up with the train of thought of Senior Brother Kitano.
"Nothing." Kitano Takeshi waved his hand nonchalantly, "I just think it would be interesting to drop out of Meiji University and then enter the entertainment industry to make a name for myself."
"..." Shirakawa Kaede
Brother Kitano, do you think everyone can be as successful as you?
Alas, Shirakawa boy is really boring.
Not to mention the secret complaints between the Meiji brothers, after Mori Masayuki learned that "Dragonfly" was written by Shirakawa Kaede, he obviously communicated with him more diligently.
From him, Shirakawa Kaede also learned that Mori Masayuki is currently a program producer for TV Asahi, and he is the planner of several of Kitano Takeshi's manzai variety shows.
At first, the two of them just interacted with each other for normal work, but as time went on, Mori Masayuki was keenly aware of Kitano Takeshi's talent for variety shows, and with his help, Kitano Takeshi became more adept at performing in various programs.
So over time, the two became the closest friends at work.
"Shirakawa-kun, have you ever considered becoming an artist? You have very good qualifications. If you are interested in this, I can recommend a few agencies to you."
After communicating with Shirakawa Kaede, Mori Changxing felt more and more that he had a unique temperament.
Apart from his appearance, his calmness was enough to attract people's attention. His speech and manner of conversation were not as impetuous and superficial as those of his peers.
On the contrary, Mori Masayuki even felt that his knowledge was very broad. No matter what the topic, he could speak well. This alone was beyond most people.
Hearing Mori Masayuki's similar advice, Shirakawa Feng suddenly laughed out loud. "Sorry, Mori-san, I'm being rude. To be honest, I've heard similar things from at least three different people."
Polydor Records, NHK's Hirayama Takeyuki, Sun Music's Aizawa Hidemasa, and today's Mori Masayuki.
After meeting them, Baichuan Feng really had to sigh, what a fate.
In fact, the reason why so many people suggested that he debut as an artist is not only because he does have the talent, but also because of the social environment.
The idol craze was just beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As people became more affluent, their pursuit of spiritual enjoyment also increased.
Therefore, the entertainment industry and idols naturally became the hot spots that people pursued. With demand, there was a market, and major agencies actively discovered new talents.
In addition to various talent shows, talent scouts are also a major feature of Tokyo. As long as the conditions are suitable, whether you are a high school student or a working young person, you will receive an olive branch from the agency.
So it's not strange for someone like Shirakawa Kaede to meet someone who suggests he debut as an artist while walking on the street.
After listening to Baichuan Feng's explanation, Mori Changxing was not too surprised. Apparently, this was not the first time he had encountered such a thing.
"Then I wonder what Baichuan-kun is planning to do?" He felt that given Baichuan Feng's conditions, it would be a pity not to give it a try.
"I'm not opposed to the entertainment industry, but my focus is on my studies right now. It may , but I have no problem with behind-the-scenes work like Dragonfly if it's possible."
From the initial slight rejection to the current slight interest, Shirakawa Kaede's attitude towards the entertainment industry has been changing.
Perhaps it was because of these consecutive recommendations, or perhaps it was the influence of the people around him, but Baichuan Feng's ideas were also quietly changing.
After all, humans are social animals and cannot exist independently of society. As long as you are in this environment, you will be affected by it.
Especially when personal ideas differ from those of society, it is the individual who will ultimately be changed.
Even if this person's soul comes from decades in the future.
"That's not bad." Mori Masayuki expressed his understanding of Shirakawa Kaede's choice. In addition to the glamorous artists on stage, the entertainment industry also needs the support of talented people behind the scenes to prosper.
As everyone got to know each other better, this special wedding banquet was finally ready to begin.
After working in the kitchen for half a day, Ganzi finally took off her apron and sat next to Kitano Takeshi.
Seeing the table full of food, everyone knelt in front of the long low table and praised it generously. Gan Zi was modest and smiled brightly.
As for Kitano Takeshi, he just said in a light tone and very proudly, "Not bad."
But the pride in his eyes could not be concealed, the Japanese man's machismo was fully reflected in him.
As for today's bride, the first impression she gave to Baichuan Feng was that she was dignified and elegant.
A delicate face, coupled with good cooking skills. To be honest, judging from his looks alone, my senior brother Kitano is way out of his league.
It was just an ordinary wedding banquet with only a few good friends, and everyone was drinking to their heart's content.
This Kanko-san didn't mind the simple wedding banquet at all. She had been following Kitano Takeshi since he was still in the Asakusa Little Theater.
After a few years of twists and turns, perhaps for her, the two of them have already been husband and wife. Today is more like a small gathering among friends, but in the name of marriage.
Although she and Takeshi Kitano had this meal under the name of marriage, they have not registered their marriage.
Kitano Takeshi didn't mention it, and Matsuda Mikiko didn't ask.
"By the way, Senior Brother Kitano, what are your plans after marriage?" When they were half drunk, Shirakawa Feng also started chatting with Kitano Takeshi.
"As for my plan, of course I'm going to go on vacation to the beach with Gan Zi first. I haven't experienced beach surfing or anything like that yet."
Kitano Takeshi burped. According to his original idea, he couldn't wait to immerse himself in his favorite TV show the next day.
But considering Qianzi's proposal, he did not refuse. After all, there is only one wedding banquet in a lifetime, which is already very casual, and Qianzi's request cannot be broken.
Hearing Kitano Takeshi's plan, Kaneko Jiro and Mori Masayuki both laughed. They all knew that Kitano Takeshi was a workaholic, and ordinary people had Sundays, but he didn't.
Especially recently, he has become extremely obsessed with behind-the-scenes filming work, often going to the TV station's studio, and sometimes even sitting in the director's seat himself to satisfy his addiction.
Speaking of the sea and surfing, Baichuan Feng also yearned for it. He had been in this world for such a long time, but he had never seen the sea.
"I really want to take a picture of the mysterious and blue sea." Unfortunately, the pixels of today's cameras are so poor that it is better to see it with your own eyes.
“If you want to take pictures of the sea you must use a film camera, so that you can capture its melancholy and internalization.” Kitano Takeshi gave the advice without even looking up.
"Hey," Shirakawa Feng raised his head, "Brother Kitano, do you know anything about cameras?" I have the impression that he seemed to have only come into contact with movies in the late 1980s.
"Shirakawa-kun, you may not know this," Kaneko Jiro explained for Shirakawa Kaede at this time, "Awu has been very enthusiastic about the position behind the camera recently, and he hangs out with the staff whenever he has time."
"I just want to know more," muttered Takeshi Kitano, and continued to concentrate on the crabs in the bowl.
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Baichuan Feng blinked his eyes, and suddenly he had a bold idea.
