Chapter 46

—————— Today's First Update ——————

Gakki's face turned red as she said, "Uncle... will the car expenses be reimbursed?"

When the four girls, including Horikita Makoto, heard this, they burst into laughter; Gakki's face turned extremely red.

"Didn't the agency provide you with a car?"

Gakki pouted and nodded, looking very aggrieved...

"Even though they provided you with a car, you still have this expression..." Kawanishi Hane's face was filled with black lines.

"But they didn't provide a driver?"

"Are you suggesting I should be your driver?"

"If Uncle doesn't mind... I wouldn't object..." Gakki's face showed a mischievous smile, which was very cute...

"Alright, stop fooling around... Your recent performance has been good... However, I might focus more on Horikita-san..." Kawanishi Hane glanced at the girls, including Banri Tomomi.

"Uncle... we understand... we'll be patient..." Gakki nodded obediently. She knew that this year was a breakthrough year for Horikita Makoto, who had been nominated for the Best Newcomer at the Film Academy Awards.

"The 4th should be the Film Academy Awards ceremony. Horikita-san is very likely to win... Horikita-san, you need to be mentally prepared." Kawanishi Hane turned around and looked at Horikita Makoto; inevitably, her external activities would also increase.

Although this was the case, when Gakki heard it, a hint of envy inevitably appeared on her face. As a peer, the other person had already achieved such great success, while she was still an unknown.

The three girls, including Hoshino Mami, were not much better off. For them, being able to attend the Film Academy Awards ceremony was like a dream, but Horikita Makoto had already achieved this at a young age...

Kawanishi Hane noticed the expressions of the girls. He had no expression; Horikita Makoto's existence was both a motivation and a goal for them. As for what they thought, it depended on how they positioned themselves.

"Horikita-san... I'll accompany you to the award ceremony... My suggestion is to wear a black dress... but not too revealing, as you're going for the pure and innocent look... Also, here are a few styles I've prepared for you... take a look." Kawanishi Hane handed a magazine from the table to Horikita Makoto.

Hoshino Mami, Gakki, and the other three girls walked to Horikita Makoto's side, curiously looking at the various styles in the magazine.

"Which one do you think I should choose?" Horikita Makoto had no airs; she knew how to handle her relationships with her colleagues...

"I think this one..." Banri Tomomi pointed to a style with golden short hair...

Shinoda Mariko, Hoshino Mami, and Gakki's faces turned black...

"Tomochin... Uncle suggested a pure and innocent look... this doesn't seem to fit..." Hoshino Mami gently patted Banri Tomomi's head.

Banri Tomomi stuck out her tongue...

"I'll choose the black short hair style..." After some discussion, Horikita Makoto ultimately chose the black short hair style.

"Good choice, very good taste... Actually, even if you didn't choose that one, I would have made you choose it..."

Horikita Makoto's delicate face instantly froze...

"Then why did you let me choose?" Banri Tomomi glared at Kawanishi Hane indignantly.

"To tell you that I am a very democratic person... I can consider your opinions..." Kawanishi Hane looked at the five stunned girls with a smug expression.

……………..

In fact, Horikita Makoto had also released a photo book in March, which sold much better than Gakki's and AKB48's first photo book. However, the revenue and copyright of this photo book all belonged to SWEETPOWER.

In this photo book, Horikita Makoto's style was similar to what Kawanishi Hane had planned for her, but her hair was shoulder-length short hair. Strictly speaking, Horikita Makoto was not an absolute beauty, and her appearance could even be considered ordinary. However, her气质 was a rare type of traditional Chinese beauty in the entertainment industry. She was cold but elegant, delicate but gentle...

The Film Academy Awards, also known as the Japanese Academy Awards.

Founded in 1978, it is hosted by the Academy Awards Association. It is the only major film award in Japan that is broadcast live on television. It includes categories such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and the Topic Award. In 1978, "Dentsu" led the way, and personnel from television stations and the four major film companies in RBR collaborated for three months to achieve the first live broadcast of the Japanese Academy Awards. They emulated the American Academy Awards ceremony, using a curtain that parted to reveal the winners, and it is the only film award in Japan that is broadcast on television.

The Film Academy Awards, along with the Blue Ribbon Awards, the Mainichi Film Awards, and the Kinema Junpo Awards, are known as the four major film awards in Japan.

As the official partner of the Film Academy Awards, NHK often dominates this award. For example, "Always: Sunset on Third Street," in which Horikita Makoto starred, was produced by NHK. Many people had already predicted the results of this award ceremony; it was highly likely that "Always: Sunset on Third Street" would dominate again.

This 29th Academy Awards ceremony was essentially to honor the outstanding films and individuals of the past year. Each category had five finalists, and unlike other award ceremonies, all nominees received awards and related prizes.

Horikita Makoto was nominated for Best Newcomer for "Always: Sunset on Third Street." For her, this was a significant breakthrough.

…………………….

April 4th. 8:00 PM.

At the New Shinkawa Prince Hotel, Kawanishi Hane accompanied Horikita Makoto to the preparation area near the hotel.

Wearing a black dress and black short hair, Horikita Makoto was looking at the notice given to her by the staff with a serious expression.

"I have to walk the red carpet with the crew?" Horikita Makoto looked at Kawanishi Hane in confusion.

"That's fine... I wouldn't feel at ease if you walked with others." Kawanishi Hane said casually.

Horikita Makoto's face turned slightly red, almost imperceptibly.

PS: The actual date of the Film Academy Awards ceremony is March 3rd.
