Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 587: Before and After the Academy Awards, I Have a Clear Conscience

boom!
boom!
In the underground sports field of Yorozuya, Hideki Hanyu kept swinging his racket against the wall, hitting the tennis balls that hit the wall and returned.

I don't know how long it took before I heard footsteps coming from the side.

I turned around and saw it was Kudo Shizuka.

Judging from her overall condition, it was obvious that she had put on makeup again after taking a shower and had her hair done simply.

She also changed her clothes into a Givenchy floral dress, which didn't seem to fit her well.

When Shizuka Kudo saw Hanyu Hideki looking at her, she quickly explained, "Sir, the designer is here. She has measured my body and made some simple styling attempts. The clothes were given to me by Ms. Machiko after I took a shower."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki grabbed the tennis ball that flew back and placed it together with the racket on the shelf next to him.

At the same time, he made a comment.

"Jingzi's clothes are a little small for you. They don't fit you very well."

The Yasuko mentioned by Hideki Hanyu is naturally Yasuko Sawaguchi.

In the cloakroom of the Wanshiwu, in addition to his own clothes, his woman would sometimes put in some clothes, which were basically brought with her when she came to stay temporarily.

However, Hideki Hanyu had no intention of letting a woman live in the Yorozuya permanently, and he hated messy dressing rooms.

So if there were some extra clothes that the women who were staying temporarily didn't wear, he would have them disposed of, even if they were new.

I have no idea where Machiko found this piece.

After saying that, he picked up a towel, wiped his sweat, and walked towards the basketball court next to him.

"Is it Senior Yasuko Sawaguchi?" Shizuka Kudo asked following Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu put down the towel, grabbed a basketball, and performed a standard shooting posture from a distance.

Then, decisively avoid three attacks.

He shook his head in annoyance and answered casually, "Of course, otherwise who would bring clothes into the Yorozuya?"

After saying this, his tone became slightly cold.

"The designer should be matching clothes according to your characteristics. You just need to wait there and don't disturb me while I am exercising."

After the words fell, seeing that Kudo Shizuka was about to say something, Hanyu Hideki spoke bluntly while dribbling the ball.

"I know what you're thinking, but you're overthinking it.

The reason why I agreed to Iijima Michi's recommendation and let you be my female companion is very simple. I think you still have value and can help Yunshang Entertainment make money.

It just so happens that I just persuaded Iijima Michi and Asako-san to agree to Akina's retirement. Since Yunshang Entertainment has already lost some revenue, I don't want it to lose more revenue."

Hideki Hanyu now understands this very well.

Even with his status, he could be willful once in a short period of time and force the management of Yunshang Entertainment to force Akina Nakamori to retire.

But we cannot continue to act willfully and completely disregard the interests of Yunshang Entertainment.

Therefore, even though he didn't have a good impression of Kudo Shizuka because of some memories from his previous life, he felt that this girl was very thoughtful in this life.

But if he were to make an objective assessment, he did not hate such ambitious people.

On the contrary, in the entertainment industry, if you want to become famous, ambition and scheming are essential.

As a boss, he should also try his best not to affect the development of the group due to his own likes and dislikes.

So the reason why he finally agreed to let Shizuka Kudo take him as his female companion was not only because of Iijima Michi's suggestion, but also because of his own considerations.

Of course, another person who is suitable for all-round development in the future is Noriko Sakai.

There is also Ayumi Hamasaki who ascended to the throne of pop queen in the 1990s.

But the problem is that he can't choose between these two people.

Noriko Sakai is only sixteen years old this year, and Ayumi Hamasaki is only ten years old.

If you take a girl of this age to attend the Academy Awards, and if some people hype it up, even if it's okay now, it may be brought up in the future.

It would be fine if no one paid attention to it before.

Now that he is becoming more and more famous, he must be careful about some things.

Hideki Hanyu has never thought that as he becomes powerful and influential in the Japanese entertainment industry, he will only have friends and no enemies.

But facing Hanyu Hideki's rejection, how could Kudo Shizuka be willing to accept it? She immediately shouted.

"Sir, you asked me to think it over last time, and I have thought it over very clearly. For you, I am willing to do anything."

Ambition is something that will only grow bigger and bigger.

What does the saying go? Once you see something better, there's no going back.

This is the state that Shizuka Kudo is in now.

After seeing the luxury of the Yorozuya House, her desire to become the hostess here completely filled her heart and was completely uncontrollable.

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki raised the corners of his mouth and a mocking smile flashed across his face.

He didn't believe what Shizuka Kudo said about doing it for him.

After their last meeting at the training base, this girl was still acting schemingly and dishonestly in front of him, which was really ridiculous.

And whether this woman is good or bad, from his perspective, it is nothing but child's play.

Moreover, in his boring life, if there is a smart guy to entertain him, he doesn't mind watching him as a monkey show.

Speaking of which, the 18-year-old Kudo Shizuka was still at the peak of her beauty, and was definitely an above-average beauty. If it were two or three years ago, he might have taken her in on impulse.

But as more and more beauties have surrounded him over the years, his threshold for beauty has also increased.

And another point is that Michiko Iijima's future plan for Shizuka Kudo is to develop in the fields of film, television and music.

Nowadays, if Japanese female stars want to develop in the film and television industry, intimate scenes are basically impossible to avoid.

Unless you learn from Yasuko Sawaguchi and be a "salted fish" who lies down and does not do any other work except filming the TV series customized by Hideki Hanyu.

Otherwise, it is common for Japanese female stars to kiss each other at work and even shoot large-scale sex scenes.

As long as Hanyu Hideki touches Kudo Shizuka, she is definitely not the kind of woman who will behave herself after a friendly match. At that time, her subordinates will definitely limit his roles in order to save his face.

Didn't you see that he just changed the script once, and as a result, "My Sassy Girl" was completely turned into a pure love movie without even holding hands.

Although the effect after the release was very good.

But the problem is that he really doesn't have this idea!
Otherwise, Suzuki Kyoka would have been right at his lips, and as a scumbag he would have swallowed her in one gulp.

This is enough to show that some of his unconscious actions often have a great impact.

Therefore, he didn't want to affect Yunshang Entertainment's planning and arrangements for artists because of himself.

Although it is impossible for her to reach the top of the "Queen of Pop", it is undeniable that Shizuka Kudo is still very important to Yunshang Entertainment.

In another time and space, in the late 1980s, Kudo Shizuka's record performance once surpassed that of Nakamori Akina.

In the 1990s, the idol career in Japan fell into a low ebb, and the other party took the opportunity to transform himself into a producer. With the help of hype and cooperation with powerful people, he successfully established himself as a singer-songwriter, which is also known as the "artist" route in Japan.

There is no need to talk about her love life. She was first with Hayashi Yoshiki, and then she decisively got together with Kimura Takuya, married and had a daughter. Although she was hated by Kimura Takuya's fans for many years, it did not affect Kudo Shizuka's popularity at all.

Before Hideki Hanyu traveled through time, Shizuka Kudo had begun paving the way for her two daughters' careers with her own influence and connections in the entertainment industry.

This girl is definitely a natural born fame and fortune seeker, and is most suited to developing in the entertainment industry. However, the return you can get from investing a penny in her is far beyond that of other female artists.

The other party just debuted late, otherwise she would definitely be able to compete with Seiko Matsuda in rank.

After Shizuka Kudo expressed her "feelings", she found that Hideki Hanyu did not respond at all and was just playing basketball by himself.

Just as Kudo Shizuka was thinking about what to say next.

There was the sound of footsteps approaching. It was the housekeeper Machiko.

"Lunch is ready, sir."

"I understand." Hanyu Hideki responded, threw down the basketball and walked upstairs.

At this time, Machiko came forward and said to Kudo Shizuka, "Ms. Kudo, do you need lunch prepared for you?"

Kudo Shizuka said quickly, "My stylist just told me not to eat anything next time."

"Ok."

Next, Machiko and Kudo Shizuka followed Hanyu Hideki and returned upstairs together.

After a simple lunch, the clothes arranged by the stylist were delivered to the Yorozuya one after another. While Kudo Shizuka began to undergo transformation, Hanyu Hideki naturally also had to start being manipulated by the stylist.

Several high-end suits, matched with different styles, ties, and leather shoes, tried and looked at again and again.

Only after confirmation can formal styling work be carried out.

When everything was done, the whole afternoon had passed and it was time to set off.

If it weren't for Yutaro Hatoyama, he would not bother to attend such public events surrounded by the media. It is such a waste of time.

Inside the Yorozuya garage.

Hanyu Hideki said to Kudo Shizuka beside him.

"lets go."

At this time, the girl had already changed drastically.

Her black hair was tied up, with two slightly curled strands hanging naturally on her forehead. She was wearing a black evening dress, and all the jewelry was from Van Cleef & Arpels.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of diamond-encrusted Valentino high heels on each other's feet. Not only are they beautiful, but they also make up for the height difference between them.

This ensures that when the two people stand together, they won't look too out of place.

After the greetings, Hideki Hanyu was the first to get into the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit.

Shizuka Kudo entered from the other door after the bodyguard opened the door for her.

The vehicle set off and headed towards the Prince Hotel, the regular venue for the Film Academy Awards.

Because of the Neon Film Academy Awards, there was already a huge crowd of people outside the Prince Hotel, and the scene was bustling with activity.

Media reporters and movie fans were waiting outside the door early.

However, Hanyu Hideki knows that these are just the periphery of the Academy Awards, and the red carpet event will not be held here.
All the media and fans could do was to witness the guests entering the hotel.

Because of the sponsorship of the ceremony by the Seibu Group, the Academy Awards has become a fixed venue at the Prince Hotel, and the red carpet at the Neon Film Academy Awards is completely different from other red carpets at other award ceremonies in other regions.

After several attempts, the red carpet segment of the Academy Awards was moved to the banquet hall where the awards ceremony was held.

Different guests and artists who received the same nomination entered the banquet hall one after another, walked along the red carpet in the middle of the hall, passed through the audience seats, and finally sat in the guest seats.

(Red carpet illustration)

The previous scene of laying out a red carpet in the open air with fans on one side and reporters on the other is no longer seen.

Of course, if you want to accept relevant interviews, you can do so before entering the hotel.

These fans and media reporters are here for this reason.

Therefore, when Hideki Hanyu's Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit appeared, many reporters immediately became excited.

As a semi-public figure, it is impossible for Hideki Hanyu to keep his car secret.

After this Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was modified, Hideki Hanyu had only been using it for a month when it was immediately exposed by the media.

Any reporter with a little bit of solid professional ability will naturally remember this car.

Besides, this extended and modified Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is unique in the whole of Tokyo, and it would be difficult for the reporter to forget it.

Therefore, the appearance of this car means that Hideki Hanyu is about to appear.

In recent days, due to a report by Forbes magazine, Hideki Hanyu's net worth exceeds US$7.5 billion, making him the tenth richest person in the world, and his status has been hotly debated in the media.

At this critical moment, everyone naturally wanted to interview Hideki Hanyu, the protagonist of the news.

But the problem is that Hideki Hanyu has been staying in America, and even after returning to Tokyo, his attitude towards the media is indifferent.

It’s not like Koichi Gang didn’t call Hideki Hanyu, wanting him to do a special program for Yunshang Satellite TV, but Hideki Hanyu refused with a single word “I don’t have time”.

He doesn't even bother to meet his own media, let alone other media.

Under such circumstances, he suddenly appeared at the Neon Film Academy Awards, which was unexpected by everyone. How could the media reporters not be excited?

Although there were security personnel maintaining order at the hotel entrance, when the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit stopped, the reporters still rushed towards the car frantically.

For a moment, the defense line built by the security personnel was shaky.

Faced with this kind of scene, Hanyu Hideki, who had already seen many storms, remained calm.

After he got out of the car, he calmly adjusted his tie and clothes.

Then, with a faint smile on her face, she waited for the hotel receptionist to open the other door and Shizuka Kudo got out of the car.

It was just one person, but it was crazy enough for the reporters.

Then, they saw the popular female idol Shizuka Kudo getting out of the car. The reporters went wild on the spot and shouted to Hanyu Hideki.

"Mr. Hanyu, please accept the interview."

"Mr. Hanyu, we only have one question."

……

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu didn't believe the reporter's words that he would only ask one question.

But since he was already here, and brought Kudo Shizuka with him, he couldn't just go through the motions, so in response to the reporters' shouts, he stopped and moved slightly towards the reporters.

After seeing a reporter with a Yunshang Satellite TV work badge on his chest, Hanyu Hideki deliberately approached the reporter, pointed at him and said, "You ask first."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the reporters stopped their noisy voices at the same time, wanting to record this rare interview with Hideki Hanyu.

Seeing that their big boss had chosen them for an interview, the reporters from the Yunshang system inevitably became a little nervous.

But out of professionalism, he suppressed his nervousness and asked a question.

"Mr. Hanyu, do you have anything to say about being on the Forbes list for the second time and climbing up 16 places a year later?"

When the reporter asked this question, the people around him seemed a little disappointed.

I finally got an opportunity, but you asked such a trivial question?

But when I thought about the fact that he was a reporter from the Yunshang Department, I suddenly felt relieved.

In this situation, only a fool would dare to ask the boss overly pointed questions.

"First of all, of course I am very happy, but not because of the increase in wealth itself, but because it proves that I have done the right thing, focusing on investing in cutting-edge technology and then using technology to change human life..."

Hanyu Hideki began his answer.

Very "official", very polite, and very "high-end".

After all, his own reporters had handed him the opportunity, so of course he had to make use of it.

However, after answering the questions from the Yunshang reporter, when he randomly selected a second reporter to answer questions, the other party's questions were not so polite.

"Mr. Hanyu, some critics have criticized Pokémon Fight, a digital pet product under Pokémon Entertainment, for using Pokémon Cards to induce children without judgment to spend money. The high price of Pokémon Cards has even caused many minors to bear illegal debts. Do you think it is glorious to become a rich man in this way?"

Facing the reporter's sarcastic and gossipy questions, Hanyu Hideki remained calm and asked back with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, Mr. Reporter, how much is the expensive price of the Spirit Card you mentioned?"

The reporter replied, "As far as I know, many children would even spend tens of thousands of yen to buy a Pokémon card."

Hanyu Hideki continued to ask, "I really want to know where did you buy the Pokémon cards that cost tens of thousands of yen?"

The reporter did not make up a story, but answered directly, "I bought it at a used store."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki immediately made a surprised expression, "Does Elf Entertainment have a used store? Or does one of my companies have a used store?"

The reporter thought hard, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki spread his hands in a helpless manner.

"Mr. Reporter, I can tell you with certainty that Elf Entertainment, including my other businesses, has not opened any second-hand stores, nor has it been involved in any secondary market transactions of Elf Cards. The official price of Elf Entertainment's Elf Cards is 1600 yen, which means that each card is only a little over yen. I think this price is definitely not expensive. There is an Elf Show store on the street not far from here. If you don't believe it, you can go there to confirm it.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of yuan worth of Elf Cards you mentioned are simply transactions between consumers. It is a rare case that only exists in the secondary market. What does it have to do with Elf Entertainment?

You said that I used Elf Cards to trick minors into spending, causing them to incur illegal debts. This is simply a blind slander against me and Elf Entertainment.

If you had looked deeper, you would have known that the truth is exactly the opposite of what you say.

The Elf Cards sold by Elf Entertainment are not only cheap, but have always avoided intervening in the secondary market and are working hard to maintain the rationality and fairness of the secondary market.

As for consumer debt, it is even more groundless. There was a consumer loan company that wanted to cooperate with me to launch consumer loans for Elf Entertainment products, but I directly rejected it.

If I really want to make money, can't Elf Entertainment do these things?

And you underestimate Elf Entertainment too much. There are so many ways for Elf Entertainment to make money compared to what you said.

Elf Entertainment has huge cash flow. I can use this money to invest in stocks or land, so that I can make more money.

But I didn't do that!

I use this money to invest in product research and development so that consumers can have better products.

I used the money to support companies and studios in their growth stages, thus promoting the development of the entire industry.

I will use this money to build more factories and give unemployed workers new jobs.
I use the money to do charity work and help those in need.

So you ask me, is it glorious for me to have the wealth I have now?

I can't say making money is an honorable thing.

But at least, I have a clear conscience!"

Taking advantage of the question from this rude reporter, Hanyu Hideki started a long answer.

From the objective narration at the beginning, to the rational rebuttal in the middle, to the passionate speech at the end, it can be said that the emotions of everyone present were mobilized by using the words to build up and explode.

Of course, coupled with his vivid expressions and perfect personal appearance, the whole paragraph became extremely persuasive.

In a short period of time, it infected everyone present.

Let everyone look at Hideki Hanyu and think that he is a promising young entrepreneur with conscience, aspirations, noble sentiments, and who knows how to give back to society.

Even the reporter who asked the question began to doubt himself.

Of course, there are also calm people who complain in their hearts that it is a pity that Hideki Hanyu did not run for election as he is so eloquent at such a young age and can easily stir up everyone's emotions. Coupled with his excellent appearance and good reputation among the people,

Next to Hideki Hanyu, Shizuka Kudo looked at Hideki Hanyu who seemed to be radiating light, and her obsessed eyes seemed to be able to draw lines.

As for Hideki Hanyu himself, seeing that his words had taken effect, he immediately seized the opportunity to speak to another reporter.

"I'll give the last question to this reporter. Please ask about topics related to the Academy Awards. After all, I am here as a judge."

When the reporter was named, he thought that compared with a super-rich man like you, there was nothing to ask about the Academy Award.

But since Hanyu Hideki had said so, he didn't dare to ask any random questions. What if Hanyu Hideki just left without answering?

While thinking, he saw Shizuka Kudo next to Hideki Hanyu and the girl's eyes that were already drawing inspiration, and he immediately got an inspiration.

After all, apart from Hanyu Hideki's personal wealth, what people want to see more is his gossip.

It’s definitely the right thing to ask.

"Mr. Hanyu, did you choose Miss Kudo Shizuka as your female companion tonight because you two are dating?"

As soon as the reporter asked this question, the reporters who were still thinking about what Hanyu Hideki had just said came back to their senses and looked over.

I was thinking, is there going to be a new person in the rumored girlfriend group of playboy Hideki Hanyu today?
However, Hanyu Hideki, who had anticipated this question, immediately gave an answer.

"I'm sorry, but there is no relationship between Ms. Shizuka and I. It's just that President Iijima knew that I was going to attend the Academy Awards, so he asked me to bring Ms. Shizuka to experience the most important film award in Japan and meet some seniors in the film and television industry."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, a reporter followed up with a question, "Mr. Hanyu, you brought Ms. Kudo to participate in the Academy Awards. Does this mean that Yunshang Entertainment intends to train Ms. Kudo as a successor after Akina Nakamori retires?"

"Sorry, I have already answered my last question. Regarding Yunshang Entertainment's work, you should directly ask the relevant person in charge of Yunshang Entertainment."

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki took Kudo Shizuka and walked towards the Prince Hotel.

As soon as he reached the door of the banquet hall, he saw Yutaro Hatoyama waiting for him.

When Hideki Hanyu appeared, Yutaro Hatoyama immediately greeted him warmly.

"I learned that Hanyu-san's car had arrived, so I came out to wait, but I ended up waiting for you for so long."

"I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Hatoyama waiting for a long time. I met a reporter and answered a few questions, so I was delayed for some time."

After answering, Hanyu Hideki briefly introduced Kudo Shizuka who was beside him.

Towards the respectful Kudo Shizuka, Hatoyama Yutaro's attitude was very cold. He just glanced at her sideways and nodded slightly as a greeting.

After all, in the eyes of Yutaro Hatoyama, such artists with no background have too humble a status and are not worthy of attention no matter how popular they are.

Of course, Yutaro Hatoyama also knew why Hideki Hanyu brought Shizuka Kudo with him, so he told him directly.

"The entrance will begin soon. I will arrange for you to go in alone. You don't have to go with the judges."

Hanyu Hideki did not refuse this. After all, he was willing to come, so naturally he could help Kudo Shizuka get more shots.

"Thank you very much, Hatoyama-san."

"Why are you being polite to me, Hanyu-san? I'll arrange it for you right away."

After saying this, Yutaro Hatoyama turned and left.

Hideki Hanyu was led by the staff towards the waiting area.

Here is another banquet hall of Prince Hotel.

At this time, the place was already full of guests who came to attend the Academy Awards.

When Hideki Hanyu appeared, many people immediately came out of the scene and went straight to Hanyu Hideki to greet him.

Among them is Yuki Saito, who was nominated for Best Actress.

No need to look, these people are all from the Yunshang system.

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand and said, "Okay, the Academy Awards will start soon, let's get busy."

However, he had just sent away the people from the Yunshang Department, and he did not have time to rest after sitting down. Other people who could talk to him also came to greet him one after another.

Hideki Hanyu just sat there and responded with a calm expression.

After all, there was really no one in the entire banquet hall who could make him stand up and return the greeting.

With his current status, coming to participate in the Academy Awards is really a "dimensionality reduction attack" and "a tiger among the flock of sheep."

But he had to support Yutaro Hatoyama.

Therefore, we have to thank those people in the industry who are here at the scene for their hard work.

While Hanyu Hideki was dealing with these people boredly, Kudo Shizuka beside him had such a smug expression on her face that she looked like a peacock with its feathers spread out.

Although she understood that these people were visiting Hanyu Hideki, not her.

But this did not prevent her from experiencing what power is personally through the opportunity introduced by Hanyu Hideki.

But this situation did not last long.

Soon, the Academy Awards began.

In accordance with the planned order, groups of guests and nominated artists, led by staff, went to the banquet hall where the event was held.

Hideki Hanyu set out right after the association's judges.

Walking through the banquet hall, Hanyu Hideki stood on the stage wrapped in red silk.

As soon as the guests appeared, the camera representing the live broadcast was pointed at them.

All of a sudden, all the viewers watching the live broadcast on TV were surprised to find that Hideki Hanyu, the super-rich man in the news recently, actually came to attend the Academy Awards.

According to the host, Hideki Hanyu was originally the representative of the judging panel.

As for Shizuka Kudo who is next to Hideki Hanyu, many people are not unfamiliar with her. After all, in the past two years, Shizuka Kudo has been developing very well after graduating from the Kitten Club.

The appearance of the two at the same time naturally caused some different discussions.

For example, a family of four in Tokyo watching the live broadcast.

My father just said, "I think these two look very compatible."

His wife immediately refuted him, "How can a female idol who sells jokes be worthy of writer Hanyu?"

Then their eldest daughter immediately agreed, "Yes, a man like Mr. Hanyu must marry a foreign princess."

At this time, the younger brother's weak voice came from the side, "I think Kudo Shizuka is also very beautiful..."

Before she could finish her words, her sisters immediately rebuked her, "Shut up!"

Her mother looked at the TV with disdain and said, "How can this woman be beautiful? Her mouth is crooked."

My sister agreed again, "That's right, she's so ugly, why would she stay with Mr. Hanyu?"

……

Not to mention how surprised the audience was at the appearance of Hideki Hanyu, and how they evaluated Shizuka Kudo, after Hideki Hanyu's appearance, he walked to the large round table area where the guests were seated, followed by cameras.

The table they were assigned was occupied by people related to the Neon Film Association, for example, Kurokawa Daiki was sitting next to him.

After the cameras were no longer focused on this side, Hanyu Hideki began to chat casually with Kurokawa Oki, such as about this year's award situation.

In this regard, Kurokawa Ohki said to Hanyu Hideki with some regret, "President, this year our main goal is to get a nomination. As for winning the award, I am afraid we will not get too good a harvest."

"Why?" Hanyu Hideki asked curiously.

“This year is the 11th Academy Awards, and we have achieved considerable success in the 9th and 10th. Even when it comes to dividing the pie, we have to consider others.

In addition, the film The Tax Officer, which was promoted by Toho at this year's Academy Awards, has a very good professional reputation both at home and abroad, and was nominated for the Berlin Golden Lion Award. There is indeed a gap between our film and the other party."

After listening to Kurokawa Oki's introduction, Hanyu Hideki also understood the situation.

"I see. But think about it. It is indeed difficult for us to let Saito Yuki defeat Miyamoto Nobuko. Itami Jusan must have tried his best to slap his own wife."

The Miyamoto Nobuko mentioned by Hideki Hanyu is the heroine of the hit movie "The Tax Collector", and her husband is the director Juzo Itami.

Hideki Hanyu remembers that in the late 1990s, the director could not stand the slander by Japanese gossip reporters and chose to commit suicide as a way of protest.

Tsk tsk——

If this happened to Hideki Hanyu, even if he committed suicide, he would take the people who slandered him with him.

Since you have decided to die, what is there to be afraid of?

Of course, he wouldn't care about these things.

With so much news about him on a daily basis, it is natural that there will be groundless slander.

If he cared about every piece of news, he would have died a hundred times.

He would only take real action if the fabrications were too serious.

Of course, I'm not going to do what Takeshi Kitano did and bring people to smash up a magazine company.

Instead, sue directly.

Anyway, he has plenty of money and employs a bunch of professionals.

Sue every day, non-stop, whether you win or lose...

Anyway, he is not afraid of trouble or spending money.

As for whether he was afraid of being told, he didn't care.

After chatting with Kurokawa Daiki for a while, the Academy Awards began.

There is really nothing new about the award ceremony.

It’s just that when the host is interviewing the nominees on stage, he will sometimes mention Hideki Hanyu, and then the live TV broadcast will give him one or two shots.

All I can say is that Neon TV understands what are the hot topics in public opinion and knows what can attract audiences.

Especially when the award for Best Actress was being presented, the host was chatting with Yuki Saito, and one out of every three sentences was related to Hideki Hanyu.

This made Shizuka Kudo, who was next to Hideki Hanyu, very annoyed. She always felt that the TV broadcaster was deliberately linking Yuki Saito and Hideki Hanyu together.

As for her female companion, she seemed insignificant.

Putting aside the little tricks played by the broadcasting party, the Yunshang Department did not gain much in this year's Academy Awards.

The only consolation was winning technical awards such as Best Recording and Best Lighting.

Toho Film's "Female Tax Collector" won a huge victory and won several important awards.

After watching the whole thing, I can’t tell you how bored Hideki Hanyu was.

After finally waiting until the award ceremony was over, Hideki Hanyu, who didn't want to stay for any more social events, decided to leave.

Glancing at Kudo Shizuka next to him, he asked Kurokawa Daiki directly, "Why did our people get here today?"

Kurokawa Oki replied, "Yun Ying Hua has arranged a nanny car to pick you up."

"After the next session is over, arrange for them to send Kudo Shizuka back to the training base. I'm leaving first." After making the arrangements, Hideki Hanyu was about to leave.

But at this time, Kudo Shizuka asked, "Sir, what should I do with my clothes?"

Although Shizuka Kudo asked about clothes, her plan was to take the opportunity to return the clothes and enter the Yorozuya again.

If this can be achieved, then she may still have room for "maneuver".

Who would have thought that just as she said this, Hanyu Hideki said directly, "This is for you."

The nonchalant tone was as if the clothes worth nearly three million dollars that Shizuka Kudo wore were a garbage bag that could be thrown away at will.

After saying this, Hideki Hanyu immediately ran away without caring about Shizuka Kudo's annoyed expression.

But unfortunately, he was not able to leave.

As soon as he left the banquet hall, he was stopped by Yutaro Hatoyama.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Hanyu-san? Let's go have a drink together."

Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "You don't have to worry about it from now on?"

The award ceremony is over, but it does not mean the end of tonight’s event. There will be media interviews, a cocktail party for winners and other follow-up activities.

Yutaro Hatoyama said, "I have made all the arrangements. It won't be broadcast live on TV anyway, so it doesn't matter if there are some minor problems."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki rubbed his stomach and said, "Then we'd better find a place to eat. I've been hungry since noon."

"Thank you for your hard work, Hanyu-san. I will definitely treat you well next time."

Yutaro Hatoyama said enthusiastically.

Of course he knew that with Hanyu Hideki's current strength, there was no need for him to attend the Neon Film Academy Awards.

The reason I was willing to come was entirely for his sake.

Yutaro Hatoyama must appreciate this.

With this in mind, he said to Hanyu Hideki, "How about we go to Ginza? There are many restaurants that are not open to the public, and after eating, we can go to a nightclub nearby to continue our meal."

Hanyu Hideki said, "A nightclub in Ginza? I rarely go there."

Ginza is a famous nightlife gathering place in Tokyo and a den of nightlife, so Hideki Hanyu is certainly aware of it.

However, when he went to Ginza on weekdays, he usually went shopping with women.

For nightlife, I often go to Kabukicho in Shinjuku and Roppongi in Minato because of meeting up with friends. I am not very familiar with Ginza.

"Then I will take Hanyu-san to see it today, and introduce you to some friends."

"What friend?"

"You'll know when Hanyu-san goes there."
