Chapter 57

———— Today's second update, the Spring Festival holiday is over, everyone, take it easy ——————

Watanabe Ichiro nodded gently, "That's right, originally, Akimoto Yasushi didn't have high hopes for you...."

"Why do you say that?" Ōshima Yuko interrupted Watanabe Ichiro.

"How do you think you compare to Akiho and Manami Hoshino in Group A..." Watanabe Ichiro asked.

After a long silence, Ōshima Yuko finally spoke, "I'm not as good as them...."

"What about compared to Maeda and the others?"

"I'm better than them!" Ōshima Yuko said confidently.

Watanabe Ichiro nodded approvingly, "That's correct... You, Manami Hoshino, and Akiho are all very excellent... You have more stage experience, and you have relatively mature views on things... This is your strength, but it's also your weakness... Akimoto Yasushi needs a group of obedient children, not a group of girls who can make their own judgments, have mature thoughts, or might resist at critical moments... That's why the central position in Group A was given to Atsuko Maeda, who has a weaker presence and a more introverted personality, rather than Akiho, who was the temporary captain..."

Ōshima Yuko nodded, seemingly understanding.

"What you need to do now, besides performing well on stage and building popularity, is to attract a lot of advertisers... Let Akimoto Yasushi see your value... Just like Akiho Ōshima in Group A, although her personality is also prominent and she has her own ideas, she has high popularity... And some advertisers also see her potential... Do you understand?" Watanabe Ichiro explained patiently.

"I understand... Mr. Watanabe... I will work hard!" Ōshima Yuko suddenly became very enthusiastic, even though it was just some very ordinary and simple words, she was full of fighting spirit!

"Work hard, Ōshima-san... The peak of AKB48 is not decided by Akimoto Yasushi, but must be fought for!"

Ōshima Yuko nodded heavily in response!

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

The drama "Fraud Hunter" starring Yamashita Tomohisa and Horikita Makiko has just been released. Although Yamashita Tomohisa, who plays the male lead, is still a bit green in his acting, his handsome face has attracted a large number of fans... As the female lead, Horikita Makiko is much more experienced... Despite being about the same age as Yamashita Tomohisa, their performances seem to be from two different generations: one is a newcomer, the other is already famous...

Meanwhile, with the help of NHK and two talent agencies, the production team for "Meteor Butterfly Sword" has finally been assembled.

Kagawa Hane will serve as the director and screenwriter, and the production is jointly funded by the two talent agencies, with NHK as the cooperative unit. The costumes and makeup artists for the actors were all hired from China at great expense by the agencies. Everything is ready, and they are just waiting for the press conference for the TV series and the official start of filming!

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

Akihabara, Kagawa Hane's office.

Manami Hoshino, Horikita Makiko, Noda Erika, Saitō Mariko, and Tomomi Itano, five girls, sat quietly in the office.

"Playing a man... it's really quite exciting..." Tomomi Itano muttered.

"I agree... And in the end, I even kill the main villain... Tsk tsk." Manami Hoshino rarely showed a smug expression.

"But... I, the female lead, suffer so much... Is this a joke?" Noda Erika looked at her script with a gloomy face.

"Come to think of it... none of the female characters seem to have a good ending..." Saitō Mariko glanced at the others.

"Indeed!" Horikita Makiko's response was concise and efficient.

"Manami, how's your songwriting coming along?" Tomomi Itano looked at Manami Hoshino expectantly.

Manami Hoshino shook her head helplessly, "This type of drama... and the lyrics in it are really hard to write..."

While the girls were chatting, Kagawa Hane walked in from outside, looking a bit winded.

He didn't greet the girls, but instead picked up the water cup on Tomomi Itano's desk and drank it in one go...

"Uncle... I forgot to tell you... there's my saliva in it..." Tomomi Itano blushed.

"Spit, cough, cough... cough..." Kagawa Hane was caught off guard.

The girls burst out laughing at Kagawa Hane's狼狈 appearance...

Kagawa Hane was speechless... Well, to be precise, he couldn't speak, he just gave Tomomi Itano a thumbs up... meaning, you're tough...

"You girls have really gotten bold recently..." Kagawa Hane sat down at his desk and glared at the girls.

"Uncle... where did you go?" Tomomi Itano asked curiously.

Kagawa Hane glanced at Tomomi Itano and ignored her, taking out an egg from his pocket and peeling it...

Tomomi Itano gave the others a meaningful look...

Noda Erika immediately picked up the conversation.

"Uncle... are you hungry?"

This time, Kagawa Hane didn't even look up... Noda Erika shrugged, meaning she was at a loss...

"Don't tease Mr. Kagawa... He's just being childish..." Horikita Makiko, who usually speaks very little, chimed in.

Kagawa Hane was amused... He shook his head helplessly...

"You win... I give up..." He took a small, elegant bite of the egg, and the girls were all mesmerized...

This isn't how a man eats... it's like a noble lady...

"Mr. Kagawa, I can't write the lyrics... I don't know how to write them..." Manami Hoshino looked ashamed.

"It's okay... I'll write them for you... You don't have the experience, and I understand."

"Uncle, when are we starting filming?" Noda Erika asked eagerly.

Kagawa Hane looked at Noda Erika, "Why? Are you impatient?"

"Yes!" Noda Erika didn't deny it.

Kagawa Hane looked at the girls and said, "Don't worry... it's almost time to start..."
