National Tide 1980.

In fact, if any industry wants to flourish, it needs the support of noble people.

At least one or two friends who can watch over and help each other, no matter whether the career succeeds or fails, there is always some relief.

Otherwise, relying on one's own efforts and fighting alone, it would be too difficult and lonely.

The same is true of Japan's showbiz, or entertainment circle.

Therefore, many Japanese artists have their own "small circles" in the circle.

There are even some smart people who have spotted this and turned this kind of thing into a business with ulterior motives.

For example, the "Flower Garden Club" founded by Takada Miwa is such a club.

On the surface, a fellowship meeting is held every half a month, allowing female artists in the Japanese entertainment industry who have joined the meeting to gather together when they have time.

While it is convenient for everyone to connect with each other, you can also communicate with each other about work and life by the way.

But in fact, most of the Japanese female artists who are willing to pay expensive membership fees to join this club and pay for meals to attend parties have been in the industry for a period of time, have been half popular, and are worrying about their stardom.

Or just a little famous, with a bright future, urgently need newcomers to increase their presence in the industry.

Their real purpose is actually the same, and there is only one—to make sure that the "Ms. Karuizawa" who founded the "Flower Border Club" can pretend to herself.

In the minds of most Japanese female artists, besides being a well-known senior in the entertainment industry, Takada Miwa, the chairman of the Kakaikai, this "big sister" is also "a giant who is not a giant in the industry".

Because she came from a family of performers, not only did she inherit the benefits of her parents' connections, but she was also the top brand of Daiei, so she had a very wide range of contacts.

Most of her friends are Japanese actresses who have won movie queens. She also knows many film company producers, well-known directors, and even film company bosses.

Therefore, female artists pave the way for themselves by praising her. Joining her "Flower Circle" is equivalent to opening up contacts in the industry, increasing the chances of getting a job or even becoming popular.

No matter how bad it is, you can increase your personal exposure and show your face to the public through the photos of paparazzi reporters.

This is always beneficial to the promotion of the reputation of these young actors.

What's more, the Japanese have serious herd habits. Joining an organization and being able to hold together for warmth will give many people a valuable sense of security.

It is precisely because of this that Takada Miwa's "Flower Border Club" was founded in less than three months.

But there are already more than [-] members who have joined the club one after another, and it is completely a thriving scene.

The regular dinner party has been rapidly expanded from the initial six or seven people to 30 people.

After all, there are still people whose work announcements cannot be arranged, and it is impossible to come so complete.

But basically as long as there is time, these female artists will be there.

On June 1986, 6, in Hall B of the Banquet Hall of the Tokyo Prince Hotel, the 28th Flower Circle Friendship Party was being held lively.

There are still newcomers joining on this day.

…………

Yasuko Sawaguchi knew very well that her appearance and luxurious attire were enough to attract everyone's attention, so she deliberately stood low-key near the gate of the banquet hall.

Most of the people here, she had to call senior, which made her feel a little apprehensive and apprehensive as a newcomer.

Counting it, it has been almost two years since her debut in 1984 when she won the highest award in the first "Dongbao Cinderella" selection contest and entered the show business circle.

At present, although I have been lucky enough to win the Academy Award for Best Newcomer, which is known as the "Japanese Oscar", through a movie "Sister Slope".

But she knows that she is far from gaining a firm foothold in the showbiz.

Moreover, she has experienced many things in the past two years, and she is no longer the innocent little white rabbit.

She has been severely affected by her surroundings, both physically and mentally, and has undergone major changes.

Now she is very practical.

Not only do I know what situations are good for me and what situations are not good for me, but I also learned how to observe the situation and under what circumstances I should try to keep a low profile.

So she thought it over and over again, and decided to wait until the backer came before she could make an official appearance and establish contact with these so-called seniors in the same industry.

Otherwise, Yu Ji can only do more harm than good.

It cannot but be said that Yasuko Sawaguchi made the right choice.

Because jealousy in the entertainment industry is nothing more than normal, and there are countless incidents of Qianlang being photographed on the beach by Houlang.

Therefore, the more outstanding and potential newcomers are, the easier it is for others to feel threatened and to incur inexplicable hatred for themselves.

People who don't understand this can hardly survive in the entertainment industry.

If you start to communicate with others in a reckless manner, you will often lay mines for yourself if you are not careful.

It's not that people despise themselves, and they will make the other party more hostile to themselves for no reason.

In fact, even if Yasuko Sawaguchi understands this truth and can act in the correct way, some things are still unavoidable.

For example, on the surface, these female artists were chatting and laughing around their respective small groups, but they all glanced at Yasuko Sawaguchi from time to time, consciously or unconsciously.

Their eyes are quite complex, but overall, negative emotions dominate.

For no other reason, Yasuko Sawaguchi has both the beauty and loveliness of modern women, but also the traditional gentleness and demureness of Japanese women.

It is the flavor that is lacking in all the amorous feelings and girl idols.

She, a newcomer who just joined today, is actually more beautiful than imagined, which in itself makes many female artists feel very uncomfortable.

In addition to this day, everyone who participated in the event was dressed up.

And because Yasuko Sawaguchi is in the limelight, her salary is increasing rapidly, and there is no shortage of rich men around her to pursue her, and her clothes are also extraordinarily gorgeous.

Especially among the female artists present, there were four or five third-rate female artists wearing second-tier brand suits and shabby brooches.

Those are all actresses who debuted a few years earlier than Yasuko Sawaguchi, have been ups and downs in the entertainment industry, and have never been too well-known actresses.

The economy is tight, and even today's meal expenses of 15 yen were all they racked their brains to find a way to get together.

So it is conceivable that these extremely unsatisfactory female artists look at the exquisitely dressed and jeweled Zeguchi, how can they be balanced in their hearts?

To put it bluntly, these seniors of Yasuko Sawaguchi felt ashamed of themselves and wished they could get out of this party as soon as possible.

He gritted his teeth at Yasuko Sawaguchi again, thinking that she was showing off on purpose to embarrass them.

So he wanted to bite off a piece of Yasuko Sawaguchi's flesh, and wanted to tear her jewelry and clothes to shreds.

Needless to say, these people's gossip and discussions about Yasuko Sawaguchi behind their backs must have nothing nice to say.

For example, "It's really disgusting at first glance. Looking at her outfit, you can tell that it was bought by a man. How can a person like her have any acting skills? How long has it been since she debuted, and she can earn so much Money, I don't believe it. Since it's obvious that it's a thing that pleases men by looks, why do you have to be an actor? How about going to Ginza to accompany drinks? Ouch, recruiting a member like her will set a wrong example for Kajingkai Well, what does the chairman think, if it doesn't work out, it will damage the reputation of our club..."

For another example, "Yeah, I'm ashamed to work with them too. What's wrong with the current society? Don't these newcomers know how to restrain themselves? Why are they becoming more and more extravagant? For a young actor like her, dressing like this will make her The public may have misunderstood it. I’m afraid they would think that each of us has an annual income of over 200 million. She is still wearing Chanel. Just this dress, which I saw in a store, costs at least 900 million yen. Look again , she is still wearing a diamond ring, so the big one should be two carats. In my opinion, it must cost at least eight or nine million yen, or tens of millions. Ouch, half a year ago, I only bought An ordinary Mexican opal, just treat it as a treasure..."

Someone else said, "Huh, I really like to show off, it's too superficial. Look at the lady's watch inlaid with broken diamonds and gold rims in her hand. It is a famous first-class Swiss brand, and it is the latest style. I have never Wearing such an expensive thing is because you have to be concerned about other people's feelings. People who can't afford it may feel jealous when they see it, and it's hard to deal with it when they fight openly and secretly. Doesn't she even understand this? She even dresses up as In this way, coming to participate in such a grand event, isn't it a deliberate publicity in front of other people, which is simply a deliberate humiliation to others?"

In short, relying on their large numbers and power, these predecessors are completely "breathing fragrance".

And as he talked, he became more and more presumptuous, but became more and more unscrupulous, and became a little intentional to let Yasuko Sawaguchi hear it.

Yasuko Sawaguchi became even more unbearable for these eccentric words and phrases that flowed into his ears.

This is really three people becoming a crowd, and everyone becoming a tiger. If others are not embarrassed, then you will be the one who is embarrassed.

Fortunately, Takada Miwa, the founder of the Flower Garden Society, soon appeared on the scene wearing a fancy kimono.

As a result, those female artists who were happily chatting immediately shut up.

One counted as one, turned around, faced each other, bowed respectfully, and greeted her.

Among these people, the well-known actor Ji Shizi Ikegami has the highest status.

She is also one of the directors of the Huajinghui. She is in charge of the venue today, and immediately went to Takada Miwa to report to her.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and everyone has basically arrived. Except for the vice chairman who hasn't arrived yet. She said she is coming, and I don't know if there is any unexpected situation on the way. Look..."

The vice-chairman that Ji Shizi Ikegami said was Junko Miyashita, known as the "Pink Movie Queen".

The leading actress of "Haihuo" was also won over by Takada Miwa, and it was her influence that was valued.

A few more such post-actor-level figures will of course help the Huajinghui to grow in momentum.

So Takada Miwa, who already knew that Miyashita Junko had always acted willfully and recklessly, still gave her a position in the Huajinghui second only to herself, and it was not easy to take offense at this time.

Stretching out her plump breasts, Takada Miwa deliberately pretended to have known about it, nodded at Ji Miko Ikegami, and then apologized to the female artists present on behalf of Junko Miyashita.

"Have you all arrived yet? I'm really sorry. The vice-chairman was delayed by some important matters today, and I haven't arrived yet. I always catch the time too accurately, and I'm sorry to make you wait so long."

And even though she said so, her chin was raised high, and her attitude was not apologetic at all.

But even so, those unknown female artists, or the lesser-known juniors, also showed a flattered look, and bowed one after another to express that it was okay.

It's amazing enough to say that the apology is arrogant, but the one who accepts the apology is panicked.

This circle is so realistic, and things in Vanity Fair are nothing more than that.

It was also at this time that Takada Miwa saw Yasuko Sawaguchi who bowed his head along with the crowd at the gate.

"Ah, Miss Sawaguchi, welcome, this is the first time to participate in the flower garden fair?"

She changed her usual attitude towards new members and greeted them cordially.

Not for anything else, just because on the day Yasuko Sawaguchi joined the Huajinghui, she had already gone to Takada Miwa's residence with an expensive thank you gift, and paid homage to the mountain gate alone.

Moreover, the rich guy who was with her even greeted her specially, hoping that Mihe Takada would take care of her more.

That's why Takada Miwa treated her so warmly.

As a result, all the members of the Huajinghui present immediately looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi with admiration.

Those eyes that were full of hostility towards Yasuko Sawaguchi just now became surprised and fearful.

This undoubtedly greatly relieved Yasuko Sawaguchi's pressure, and made her feel better immediately, and felt that it was not too difficult here.

As for the next step, it is natural to start taking a seat according to the status.

As soon as Takada Miwa, the chairman of the board, took the front seat, the director Ikegami Kinoko sat on her left.

The position on the right side was empty, it was reserved for the vice-chairman Miyashita Junko who didn't know if he would appear again.

As for the empty seat and next to Ji Shizi Ikegami, there were more than a dozen well-known, young, beautiful, and good-looking female artists sitting one after another.

And those little-known female artists who haven't been popular for many years and only have some qualifications are wearing plain clothes and shrinking behind these people without saying a word.

The last seat is the prospective newcomers and newcomers who have just joined the association and have not been recognized by members of the association in a short period of time.

The philistines and influence of Vanity Fair, and the seniority of an industry, are all fully exposed in the seating arrangement at this time.

So Yasuko Sawaguchi's situation at this time is a bit embarrassing again.

Because according to the rules, as a newcomer, she must be at the bottom.

Unless Takada Miwa is willing to continue to take care of her and take the initiative to make her seat move forward.

If this is the case, it will undoubtedly make other people look at her again.

Even if they feel dissatisfied and unbalanced in their hearts.

But on the other hand, if Takada Miwa watched her sit down to the last seat, she would not express at all afterwards.

Then others will definitely lower their evaluation of her, and think that Takada Miwa's concern just now is just a good mood.

I'm afraid I won't care much about Takada Miwa's kindness to her just now.

So the question now is, will Miwa Takada continue to take care of her?

Would you rather make others unhappy than take care of her? (end of this chapter)
