Chapter 499 He is back (Earth)
On the 24th.

A brand new poster is posted at the entrance of the Takarazuka Grand Theater.

"The Truman" debuted by a newcomer, starring... Maiko Hoshikawa.

Many viewers are not familiar with this name.

Although the new actor is an opportunity for a newcomer, this "newcomer" is relatively speaking. The Takarazuka audience is also very familiar with those non-TOP, outstanding students, so shouldn't this opportunity for a new actor be Haruna Mashi's?
Who is Hoshikawa Maiko?
The announcement of the new public list was short, but it was enough for the audience to dig out the clips about Hoshikawa Maiko from the 120th anniversary celebration, and they suddenly realized, oh, she is the "weird girl" who performed well at the sports meeting, but she Not a reserve?
Can reservists join a new employer?

If Akimichi Rin, as Kenichi, has the opportunity to obtain a new father, it is still within the acceptable range.When a reserve gets this opportunity, it completely breaks the rules. This makes the audience curious about how special this girl named Hoshikawa Maiko is. After all, in the 120-year history of Takarazuka, no reserve has ever been on the new official roster. example of.

Sunday afternoon.

The curious audience filed into the Takarazuka Grand Theater.

Among them is Liu Tingjun.

Liu Tingjun, 33 years old, was once the life assistant and manager of the superstar Truman. Now he is the independent executive director of CH Group. He is keen on investing in "Truman"-themed musicals, dramas or other art forms around the world.

This seems to be a very low-ranking business in the CH Group, but for some people who believe that Truman will definitely come back, it is the core business, and can even be said to be the most important function of the CH Group.

They were not sure in what form Truman would return, but Liu Tingjun had received Truman's personal promise that he would "return to this world in some form of art."

Of course, there are also a group of people in the CH Group who hold the opposite opinion. They believe that Truman's promise means that his image will remain in film and television works for the world to admire and remember. Therefore, they are not satisfied with Liu Tingjun's spread around the world. Money behavior is not a big deal.

Fortunately, the two parties hold almost the same number of shares in CH Group, so they have similar say. Neither party can control the other. However, the huge scale of CH Group and the endless profits created by its various main businesses , making this kind of cultural investment, which is more like "remembering" than "recalling", seem insignificant.

Now, Liu Tingjun looked at the girl on the poster and recognized her as the girl who complimented him on the stage that night.

Hoshikawa Maiko?
Liu Tingjun remembered this name.

Will she be Truman?

This cannot be confirmed.

At least Liu Tingjun was able to confirm yesterday when he watched "The Truman" starring Qi Yehui, the top member of the Universe group, that Qi Yehui is not The Truman.

It's not that Nanaya Hui is not good enough. In fact, every top performer in Takarazuka has a unique stage charm, otherwise he would not be a top performer.

But Truman is different. He is the "god" on stage and in the camera. He is flawless and highly contagious. Anyone will fall for him. Liu Tingjun was sure that there was no Truman on that stage the moment the show started. Just like dozens of previous attempts.

In China, on Broadway, in Hollywood, in the UK and even in Africa, Liu Tingjun has sponsored dozens of Truman-themed performances on behalf of the CH Group. His art forms include movies, dramas, musicals and even Peking Opera. Liu Tingjun has not been seen every time. To Truman's Return.

Now 11 years have passed, and that hope is as thin as air and cannot be seen, but it is always filling her chest and supporting her life.

She believed that as long as Truman stood on the stage, he would naturally burst out with dazzling brilliance, so all she could do was to set up the stage, which was both a stage and an altar.

Liu Tingjun walked into the Taozhong Theater with expectations.

……

It's a near-perfect performance.After the actor named Hoshikawa Maiko appeared, the entire theater fell into an inexplicable boiling state. The stage performance seemed to have become a black hole vortex that attracted the attention of all the audience. They were immersed in music, dance and You can't extricate yourself from the illusion created by the fusion of scenes. Of course, the most intoxicating thing is Maiko Hoshikawa as the protagonist.

At the end of the performance, the screams and applause nearly went off the roof of the theater.

The actors took several curtain calls on the stage, and the applause continued continuously. The audience shouted the name of "Hoshikawa Maiko", and some people called "TOP". Indeed, how could such a magical performance not be performed by TOP? main character.

In the first row of the auditorium, Liu Tingjun wiped away the tears that appeared in the corners of her eyes. The president of the Takarazuka Theater Company sitting next to her saw her being so excited and realized that this was a performance that she was very satisfied with.

"Can I go backstage to meet this Xingchuan dancer?" Liu Tingjun requested.

"Of course." The president immediately nodded and agreed, "You like her very much?"

"Yes." Liu Tingjun did not deny it, but also found it a bit funny. After all, if he returned in a female body, it would look a bit weird...

"So, about the spokesperson?" the president asked again.

As the president of Takarazuka, he would not usually be so concerned about students being invited to become spokespersons, but CH is different. CH has never chosen a spokesperson in Japan. Once such a behemoth sets a precedent, it will Put all your efforts into it, and the actor named Hoshikawa Maiko will soon become a household name.

Just now, the president also saw the charm of Maiko Hoshikawa on the stage. With various conditions and blessings, she is likely to be another national superstar coming out of Takarazuka. Like Amami Raki, this will bring new things to Takarazuka. With its reputation and influence, this kind of future has long been looked forward to.

"If it were him, of course he would choose her." Liu Tingjun said, she used English, and he and she were not interchangeable in the context, so the president didn't understand. He only heard what the financial sponsor in front of him seemed to say. He said with emotion: "He will have everything again."

The backstage is close at hand.

The actors of this show are also very excited. This is a very successful show, even more enthusiastic than the response from TOP and official members, which means they have created a miracle.

So, some people even brought champagne and were celebrating, which was against the rules of the performance. When the president came backstage, the actors drinking champagne were very embarrassed, but the president did not blame them, after all, it was like this A moment of celebration.

"Hello, President~" Feng Zhaodou came over carrying champagne and bowed to the President.

"So it's you." The president also dotes on the TOP of the TOP in the troupe. Seeing that she brought the wine backstage, he didn't blame her too much.

"I'm here to celebrate the debut of a superstar. That's great!" Feng Guangdou said.

Not only did the scenery fight, the president also saw the top member of the Eurasian group Nanaya Hui, Akimichi Rin who gave up the opportunity to be the "new father". This Akimichi Rin's original name is "Mitsui Kokoro", the princess of the Mitsui family, the daughter of the top chaebol, and Daiwa Pharmaceutical Princess Yamato Aya, these are important resources in the music academy and theater troupe, and the president is familiar with them.

But at the center of everything at this moment, the girl named Hoshikawa Maiko was indeed unfamiliar to the president before this performance.

Now, she has secured her future.

The president and Liu Tingjun walked towards Hoshikawa Maiko in the center of the crowd.

At this moment, Maiko Hoshikawa was still wearing the stage makeup. On this occasion, she was the most dazzling star. When she saw the president and Liu Tingjun, her eyes met Liu Tingjun's, and she glowed with a look that Liu Tingjun was familiar with. Come, Liu Tingjun's heart beats wildly, after all, the person she has been waiting for for a long time may be coming back.

At this moment, she suddenly saw black blood flowing from Maiko Hoshikawa's nose...
