Chapter 314 The Child I Pushed (3)
"Eh? Sakura?" Chieko Takatani was also surprised when she heard the name was mentioned again. She nodded hesitantly: "...Yes, When she first joined the firm, I served as her manager. Ji Ren, I took care of her life. I had just entered the industry at that time, but... why did Mr. Qian ask about her? "
Qian Xiaoyi said: "I'm just curious, don't look at me. In this way, I used to like Ms. Tachibana’s performances, so I used to have sex with her Usami Sakura from a group also paid attention, but Usami Sakura suddenly retired. I once asked Ms. Tachibana, but she didn't know that the other party would retire. This is very confusing. Is there something unknown in it? The reason? ”
“Then Actually..." Takatani Chieko said with some difficulty: "I don't know much about her..."
"But weren't you once her agent?" Qian Xiaoyi asked: "You should be very familiar with her situation, right?"
"I did take care of her for a while..."
Maybe top agents can have complete control over the stars they manage, like a puppet master pulling the strings behind the scenes, telling him/her what to do , unable to resist.
But for the managers of low-level idols, their job is actually more like a nanny, no, even more humble than a nanny.
At least the nanny doesn’t have to go around trying to make connections, begging grandpa and grandma to get various performance opportunities, she only needs to take care of the child’s daily life.
In addition to taking care of the daily life of new idols and getting promotion opportunities, these low-level agents in big offices also provide connections with the stage, training of idols’ professional skills, and the acquisition of various resources... They all need to do it themselves. Even though these idols are so troubled, the same is true for the managers.
"During that period of time, I really regarded Sakura as my sister, but maybe I was too useless and couldn't get any opportunities for her." Chieko Takatani sighed: "The result was that one day , she was suddenly valued by the superiors and decided to focus on training, and then I was no longer her agent."
"Then what?" Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Why did she retire suddenly? What are you talking about? "
Takatani Chieko said with a tired look: "Since you are Tachibana-san's friend, you should know these things... In fact, Sakura had already expressed that she was very tired before she retired. I also know how difficult it is to get to where she is, so it’s normal for her to retire suddenly. Maybe she made enough money and then quit the industry, right?”
Qian Xiaoyi nodded. This does happen. After making enough money, some celebrities choose to quit quickly, completely separate themselves from their previous circles, find a place to open a shop and retire, and then gradually disappear from the public, only in the public's impression. Leave a name in it.
But this was definitely not the case for Usami Sakura. She disappeared too suddenly, as if something unexpected had happened.
Qian Xiaoyi talked with the other party again and found that Chieko Takatani did indeed have a good relationship with Usami Sakura during that period, as Mio Tachibana said. She could tell many details about their time together, but after Usami Sakura became famous, At this stage, she, like Tachibana Mio, had no idea what was happening.
Who said she was just a low-level agent? And if she really knew the inside story, she wouldn't be able to stand here and continue to lead the trainee idols who want to debut, right?
Thinking about it, Qian Xiaoyi turned his attention to the stage, preparing to leave after chatting for a few words. Today, he just heard the news from Mio Tachibana, saying that Usami Sakura's former manager came to WTV. So I just stopped by to ask. Since I can’t ask anything, there’s no need to force it.
“It’s really hard work~The brokerage industry.” Qian Xiaoyi sighed: “No matter which industry you are in, there are hardships that outsiders cannot see... I hope the little girls on the stage can Let's shine in this industry."
"They are all very good children," Takatani Chieko looked at the girls who were working hard on the stage. There was a touch of tenderness in it: "Just like Sakura back then, they were simple and full of vitality. They longed to be on a bigger stage and show themselves to the shouts of tens of thousands of people...especially Qiqi, She is the one in the middle, she works harder than the others. If such a girl cannot succeed, then no one else can.”
"Well, I hope so." Qian Xiaoyi could only silently wish these girls who were chasing their dreams. Just as he was about to leave, the song had just ended, and the girls on the stage were greeting the audience.
Qian Xiaoyi suddenly noticed that on the big screen behind the stage, there was a fat civet cat pattern with a belly like Teletubbies. There was a screen playing various pictures. If it was just like this, Qian Xiaoyi wouldn't care too much. At most, he would regard it as a simple stage background. But it wasn't just on the screen. He noticed that even the trainee idols on the stage had the same thing. decorations.
——A cute civet cat with a big belly, whose belly is a TV screen.
"Excuse me...what is that civet cat?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.
Takatani Chieko replied: "Eh? Mr. Raccoon cat? He is the mascot of our Starlight Office, isn't it cute?"
"Yes~" Qian Xiaoyi stared at the raccoon cat and said: "Very cute."
That night, Qian Xiaoyi once again took Heita Inuyama to stay in the WTV building. This time, their purpose was to watch the supernatural program - "Ghost Story Preview".
This time, only two people stayed in the conference room of "Horror Night GO". Watching this program became their weekly reservation. Every time, Heita Inuyama would take a small notebook and record it. There are places and times when urban legends appear, and this time is no exception.
In the dark room, a strange variety show began to play on the TV: dozens of audience members clapped their hands behind the performance on the stage.
Obviously, "Ghost Story Preview" has finished broadcasting, but this time Qian Xiaoyi was not in a hurry to exit the ghost world.
"Bian Tailang, by the way, which idol are you chasing today?" The two of them were not at all afraid of what was being broadcast on TV, Qian Xiaoyi asked casually.
"Please don't mention that name again." Inuyama Heita looked at the notebook in his hand with a dark face and defended: "That was Mr. Takeru's behavior, not me!"
"Obviously you are also very excited about it, right?" Ajian said from the side: "It's Qiqi Oh~ The Inuyama clan and I have been together since the beginning of the underground passage... Wuwuwu~"
Inuyama Heita strangled Takeru's neck from behind and blocked his mouth, word by word. He suddenly threatened: "Ah, Jian, sir, I'm really angry."
"Okay, stop making trouble." Qian Xiaoyi saw that Heita Inuyama was extremely embarrassed and angry, so he changed the subject and said, "How is it? Have you recorded everything? Is there a new urban legend this time?"
"No more, there are no new urban legends." Heita Inuyama flipped through the small book and said, "It's almost the same as the previous two weeks. , now all the weird stories that have been broadcast before are all there."
"Is that so?" Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "That's just right..."
He came to the TV. In front of the machine, he murmured: "Then, it's time to take the next step..."
There will be more in the afternoon
