(To correct a mistake, the population of the Far East in the previous chapter was corrected to 200 million, sorry, but the brain is messed up lately.) Last time, I listened to a professor's lecture, and the content was about planning and reproduction. Citing a mess of data, there is a point of view that if Japan can afford to bear the population, China can withstand five times the population now, and it was not taken seriously at that time, and when the book was written, the ghost sent the gods to write the Far East to 500 million. ）

(Because the VIP chapter cannot be changed, I hereby apologize, I will count the number of words, and the apology is not counted as subscription consumption.) ）

In April, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo are getting brighter.

Masako Natsukawa is a newly debuted female singer in the Far East, and at eight o'clock in the morning, she began rehearsing for tomorrow night's performance. This performance was crucial for her, as it was Masako's first open-air performance.

If she can successfully attract the audience, her future development will be smoother.

"Masako!"

Just as Masako Natsukawa was rehearsing in earnest, her agent, Miss Suzuki, walked in from outside shouting her name, and Suzuki was accompanied by a man in his forties.

"Miss Suzuki, Mr. Fukuyama......"

Masako Natsukawa stopped the rehearsal and hurriedly walked over to greet her.

She knows this man, the agent of the same company, and the artist in charge of Fukuyama ranks first in the company. Masako didn't understand why this person who even Miss Suzuki had to respectfully shout at her seniors would appear here, could it be that the company was dissatisfied with her and sent Mr. Fukuyama to admonish her?

Masako Natsukawa was a little nervous.

"Masako, Mr. Fukuyama wants to ask us for something." However, what Miss Suzuki said surprised Masako Natsukawa, and the agent explained with a smile, "You're going to perform in Ueno Park tomorrow night, and Mr. Fukuyama wants us to provide him with a stage and a piano after the performance." He had a friend who wanted to perform on stage. ”

"No, that kid isn't my friend. But this matter is at the behest of my friend. The man interjected, "I know it's a bit too much. But Miss Masako, please agree to this! ”

He bent down, and Masako Natsukawa immediately took a few steps back.

"Mr. Fukuyama, you're welcome, if you ask, of course I'll agree." She said a little nervously, in fact, this kind of thing is not her turn to call the shots at all, and Masako Natsukawa knows very well that Fukuyama is just polite.

After the man left, Masako Natsukawa breathed a sigh of relief. Then he asked the agent with doubts: "Miss Suzuki, Mr. Fukuyama has never begged anyone, why did he bow to me today?" ”

When Suzuki heard this, he chuckled: "He can't help it, Mr. Fukuyama's friend has asked to prepare a stage tomorrow night in Tokyo City." Mr. Fukuyama searched everywhere, and we were the only ones left. ”

"Search all places......" Masako Natsukawa opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "What kind of friend is that, it is worth this for Mr. Fukuyama?" ”

Suzuki's smile became mysterious: "The witch of Yanjing, have you heard of it?" ”

The witch of Yanjing? Masako Natsukawa was stunned for a few seconds, she had heard of this nickname. belongs to a very famous agent in the Chinese entertainment industry, and it is said that no matter how ordinary an artist is, as long as he goes through her packaging, he can become a popular idol. Her name seems to be ......

"Miss Alice?"

Masako Natsukawa's eyes lit up: "Mr. Fukuyama actually knows Miss Alice, he's so amazing...... No, no, if it was Miss Alice's request, why would Mr. Fukuyama not be able to find the stage? There should be a lot of stages that take the initiative to open their arms! ”

Yanjing's witch is famous in the entertainment industry, and Masako Natsukawa is puzzled, but she soon finds that her agent's face has darkened.

"Masako, you don't know what to say, Alice has quit the entertainment industry, and she even swore not to come in again, offending a lot of people. And her request now is very rude to open the stage for a cartoonist...... Who would! ”

"Cartoonist!?"

Masako Natsukawa was dumbfounded, what, the person who was going to perform on her stage was a manga artist? No wonder others are unwilling, it's just nonsense, how can the precious stage be provided to an outsider.

"That's right, a cartoonist." Miss Suzuki nodded: "It is said that the manga artist wanted to record a piano song, and it was easy to say that it was recorded, but Alice wanted him to perform on the live and record the scene......"

When she said this, Masako Natsukawa understood, and she was a little angry.

"It's too messy, a cartoonist, if he smashes up, then I don't want to be laughed at?" She began to be indignant: "I didn't agree with it if I knew it, the audience would be scared away by this incident!" ”

Tomorrow she will perform in the open air at Ueno Park, which has set aside a large area for her to enter, but visitors will have to pay to enter.

Although the cost is very low, it is more or less an income, and the number of audiences determines the company's evaluation of Masako Natsukawa, she is still a newcomer, and every performance wants to be as perfect as possible.

It's a pity that it's all over now, and tomorrow's flyer will add a line of words - the last program: the cartoonist plays the piano music live, and tourists will not be interested in listening to the song when they see this line.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Miss Suzuki comforted Masako Natsukawa: "I brought Mr. Fukuyama, of course, I also calculated the audience, that manga artist seems to have some fans in the Far East, this is his farewell to the Far East performance, there will be people coming to cheer." ”

"As long as there are dozens of them, then we will make money." Suzuki smiled: "Masako, you have to perform well, as long as you perform well, you can attract fans of that manga artist together." ”

"Don't worry about the cartoonist, if he performs badly, it just reflects your excellence!"

When Masako Natsukawa heard it, it was indeed the case, she had never been on a big stage, her reputation was not outstanding enough, and the number of scheduled audiences to perform this time was five hundred, if she could exceed this number, it would be her advantage.

"What's that cartoonist's name?"

She asked curiously.

"What a pity, the local cartoonist ...... in China"

Suzuki said, and Masako Natsukawa had no impression of the name.

She usually only reads clothes and magazines, and knows nothing about comics. And it's a pity that I haven't heard this name in the entertainment industry, and it's sure that it's not a very famous pianist, maybe not even a newcomer.

Masako Natsukawa didn't care anymore, she turned around and went back to rehearsal.

And at this time, people who know Alice in the Tokyo entertainment industry are talking about it.

"Alice is back?"

"She's so crazy that she wants us to give her a stage and let a cartoonist play the piano!"

"Ha Luha, I used to hear that she left the entertainment industry to become a comic editor, and I didn't believe it then, but now I do. This is really funny, a dignified Yanjing witch has fallen to such a point! ”

The entertainment industry is generally dismissive of this matter, people go to tea and cool, Alice leaves the industry, and she will not be cared about.

However, some media still smell something different, there is a cartoonist who wants to play the piano? …… No matter how you look at it, it's a piece of news to keep track of, and maybe unexpected.

The next day, some reporters from Tokyo came to Ueno Park. There are no well-known TV station representatives among them, but the number of journalists at such a small show is very rare. (To be continued......)
