Tokyo: Pick up the big sister next door at the beginning

Chapter 278 277. These crazy judges are really good at messing with people’s mentality.

"Here! First meeting."

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Yui Sakurai? You really have an extraordinary temperament, and you are better than many artists."

On the other side, there is a press conference at Horipro Hotel.

Momono Haru, who is in charge of planning and is now an artist manager, is dressed in a professional secretarial attire and is very capable. When she saw a beautiful girl wearing sunglasses from a distance, whose temperament was obviously different from those around her, she quickly called her out. .

The beautiful girl quickly stretched out her beautiful hands and responded: "Are you, Miss Momono Haru?"

When the two met for the first time, Shinkai Taki was always in the middle, so this reaction was relatively normal.

But what is a little surprising is that Sakurai Yui originally thought that today was just a rehearsal in advance, and the two parties communicated and planned, but she did not expect that it would be very formal.

It doesn’t matter, the more formal the better, and it’s more worry-free.

She has been mentally preparing for her comeback many times.

"Yes, I have heard Mr. Xinhai mention you before. I have seen your photos, but I didn't expect you to be more beautiful in person than in the photos. I wish our press conference a success."

Momono Haru was originally the personal secretary of the president of Tokyo God Pillar Publishing House. After two changes of presidents, her career plan was stagnant. Now she has become an agent of Horipro Star Artist Agency, and her personality has obviously become more mellow. some.

Seeing that the protagonist has arrived, he quickly ordered someone to make arrangements and handed over today's itinerary.

"Thank you. I heard from Mr. Xinhai that you are now Horipro's agent, right?"

"I know that Horipro Company has signed contracts with many goddess-level artists. Moreover, even if the star development is slow, the company is relatively friendly to its artists and will provide them with good support until new opportunities are found."

This is when Sakurai Yui was on the road, she read the information. She signed a contract with her sister Sakurai Sora, Sweet Power & Spice Power, which is different from the agency that specializes in discovering beautiful girls and beautiful boys. The growth path here will be more open-source.

"Yes, you can rest assured of the strength of the firm. Horipro started holding the "Horipro Talent Scout Caravan" large-scale talent show 40 years ago, and goddess-level artists such as Suzuki Honami, Fukada Kyoko, Ishihara Satomi, and Ayase Haruka were born, becoming Horipro's golden names. At the same time, it also has many branches, which are responsible for different businesses. This time, the company specially assigned a person to be responsible for tracking and reporting your comeback. If everything goes well, I hope to sign a contract with Ms. Sakurai. , in 2024, our plan is to go all out to create the year of Sakurai Yui. "

In any case, the agent of this firm is very polite when he talks.

Sakurai Yui nodded.

However, Mr. Xinhai is not around today. In the past, when these things happened, he helped to solve them, but now he is really not used to it.

But it's okay, Xinhaijun is busy with his own affairs, so he can't be wrong.

The press conference was equivalent to Sakurai Yui coming here alone and participating in the entire process.

The next schedule is for Sakurai Yui to go backstage to do makeup and edit the manuscript.

When passing by the scene, several cameras had been set up on the scene, and there was the Horipro logo on the big screen. Momono Haru was in front, and Sakurai Yui was behind. After arriving at the dressing room, she was wearing an apricot suit and looked very elegant. The host is wearing a symbolic miniskirt, sitting on a high stool, memorizing the questions to be asked today.

Sakurai Yui was introduced and the two chatted for a while.

"You two, today's process schedule is to prepare at 1 o'clock and start recording on time at 2 o'clock. Horipro will mobilize all media resources at that time and announce everything at the same time as the interview. Please confirm it finally."

"confirm."

"confirm."

The host's unthinking answer was of course the most important thing for her to remember.

For Sakurai Yui, she also anticipated what kind of fate she would face after today, so when Momono Haru asked her, her thoughts fluctuated slightly, but today she was very quiet inside, and then nodded.

When it came time to start recording and interviewing, Yui Sakurai was present at the scene dressed in model attire and finery.

the other side.

2: p.m.

Shinkaitaki, who has typed nearly 5000 words on the computer, is still tapping the keyboard with his fingers.

He knew the writing thing very well. Only by thinking about the general plot in advance can he write it efficiently. According to the original plan, Shinkai Taki adapted a version.

And the gimmick is brought forward, and the first pass is basically in the final stage.

After that, you just need to revise it again and if you think it is OK, you can submit it.

Needless to say, everyone is very serious at this time.

After all, the championship prize of the "Tokyo Literary Newcomer Competition" is generous, and there is also the opportunity to publish a book and adapt it, so everyone is probably fully prepared.

Time passed quickly, and the final competition ended on time at 15:20 in the afternoon.

All contestants in the finals stood up and left the examination room. At about 15:40, they needed to return to the scene again and wait for the judges' judgment on the spot.

"How's it going? It's a lot of pressure, right?"

After leaving the examination room, Shinkai Taki came outside the examination room. At that time, Teacher Noriko was waiting for him at the door.

That feeling of being very tired and being able to see beautiful women after coming out is a comfort in itself.

Fortunately, Yukiko-sensei is with me.

I don’t know how my senior sister is doing now.

"Fortunately, we have basically completed our plan. However, I have sorted the highlights of our story and brought up the contradictory relationships at the beginning."

Teacher Noriko handed Shinkai Taki a bottle of mineral water, and Shinkai Taki told her while raising his head to drink.

The weather on this day was still sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon, the weather became gloomy, there was a faint wind, and it looked like it was going to snow.

"Well, adapt to circumstances. The story itself is yours. You can definitely handle it."

Teacher Noriko held the bag on her shoulder and smiled.

"No, the two of us came up with the story together, and Teacher Noriko also contributed a lot. Now I just feel a little resentful why we didn't work harder to study it earlier. Looking at it on the spot, everyone is good."

"Shinkai-kun said this, making the atmosphere even more tense."

Teacher Noriko said.

Shinkai Taki's mouth twitched.

"Yes, although we are full of confidence, others are obviously not vegetarians. Several of them are very familiar to me. They seem to be contestants who have won good results in other awards this year. Mr. Noriko, what if we What should I do if it breaks?"

Shinkai Taki was also nervous.

This is his first time participating in a competition of this level.

If it weren't for Teacher Noriko, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of it.

"We'll come back next year after a failure, but I'm confident in our story."

Also, regarding their article, while Shinkai Taki went on vacation, Hayakawa Noriko was at home again, patiently polishing and revising it, and basically rebuilt it several times.

It can be said that she has compiled the original short story of tens of thousands of words into a masterpiece.

She is a player who loves reading a lot, and the content written by famous writers is nothing more than that.

Regardless of the subject matter, highlights, or gimmicks they chose, they are all more attractive. This is something that Shinkai Taki also resonates with.

Because when you first create good content, you will be very excited. If the excitement is average, you won’t be able to write it anyway.

After the twist in their story, there is another twist.

Moreover, such a story comes from a player who is about to go to college. He is young and promising and has a lot of gimmicks.

——Because no one can imagine how such a young student could create such a rich and bizarre emotional story.

"Well, of course I'm confident. I'm not nervous at the moment."

Shinkai Taki laughed.

Teacher Noriko's gentle cheeks, ruler-like nose, and peach blossom eyes looked at Shinkai Taki and said: "Have a good attitude. It doesn't matter if you fail. Strength is part of it, and luck is also part of it. It's my first time to participate. We did everything we had to do.”

After that, she stretched out her pink fist, pushed Xin Haitaki's chest, and then said: "Okay, the time has come. I'm waiting for your good news."

"Well, then I'm going in."

Well!

Maybe it was because the results were about to be announced soon, but his damn heart suddenly started beating wildly.

Maybe, I don’t want to be disappointed. Shinkai Taki clenched his fists and found that his hands were shaking involuntarily. He saw that everyone had already entered the scene.

Shinkai Taki waved his hand and said to himself: "It's okay. You have to have confidence in what you write and face it with a normal heart."

Afterwards, Shinkai Taki and all the contestants who participated in the finals all returned to the scene.

There are a total of 25 contestants participating in the finals this time.

All have certain skills.

After Shinkai Taki sat back down, the main judge in front also sat down and announced what was going to happen next.

1. The on-site judges will cross-read the manuscripts of all contestants and give scores individually;

2. The scores are superimposed into the final assessment score for ranking;

3. Eliminated contestants will be announced one by one and the final score will be given;

4. In this competition, three awards will be decided for the championship and the second season. Please record the respective rankings and award the awards later.

The rules are relatively simple, but Shinkai Taki listens, the names of those who are eliminated have to be read one by one. If the mentality is not good, it will be really heartbreaking.

Later, Shinkai Taki found out a little funny that when a person's mentality is not good, he will emphasize his mentality.

However, these judges are really good at messing with people's mentality, making the atmosphere more and more tense.

Before long, Shinkai Taki's palms were sweating again.

It was truly the most ups and downs day since arriving in Tokyo. He felt that picking up girls was much easier than competing.

However, the six on-site scoring judges will have to read all the manuscripts in about 6 hours. It is estimated that it will be done fairly and openly, and all of them will be completed on-site.

Each person's full score is 10 points. If this is the case, the total score of 6 judges will be 60 points.

If you want to win the final championship, the score must be at least 50 points?

If Shinkai Taki was a judge, he would definitely not give full marks. No matter how good the writing is, it cannot make people too proud.

"Matsushita Noko, with a total score of 36 points, eliminated."

Wow! !

Soon, just as Shinkai Taki looked around to see everyone's reaction, the chief judge combined the total score of the first student and announced the end of the other party's participation.

"Thank you."

The boy was sitting behind Xin Haitaki. When he stood up, Xin Haitaki felt a thump in his heart.

However, it seemed that after he learned his score, he finally calmed down and muttered: "It seems I still have to work hard. Every judge gave me 6 points."

But there is nothing we can do.

"Lihuacai, with a total score of 39 points, eliminated."

……

the second.

Shinkai Taki felt that the organizer's way of sacrificing people this time was so damn cruel, one by one with a knife, who could stand this.

Everyone at the scene was very nervous.

This time it was a girl. After learning her score, she was surprised at first, but she quickly went to the main evaluator and got her score.

As you can see above, there are comprehensive subdivisions such as creativity points, rhythm points, plot points, writing points, and fluency points.

Then, there are the scores given by the review teachers.

"Maki Aida!"

"Kenichi Adachi!"

"Akahori Tomomi!"

……

"disuse!"

"disuse!"

"disuse!"

……

Reciting these names one by one was very exciting. Every time Shinkai Taki heard one, he felt that the next one might be him.

He was a little bit doubtful that he had a bad mentality, or that the organizers had deliberately set up the competition system to be so exciting and exciting this time.

Wait until the names are announced to the last 10.

The score for 10th place is 48 points.

Shinkai Taki suddenly felt a little nervous.

48 points... In other words, the average score given by each reviewer is more than 8 points. If the average score is 9 points, it will be 54 points.

Therefore, the winning players basically scored 56 or even 58 points.

That's equivalent to close to a perfect score.

Do these judges dare to give scores?

Because he was always nervous, Shinkai Taki drank a whole bottle of mineral water and kept sweating.

He thought he might be the only one in the same situation, but later, some contestants fainted on the spot.

After learning that his score was limited to the top 7, the staff at the scene quickly sent him to the hospital.

When the top five were finally ranked, the chief reviewer took the score in his hand and said: "5 points, that's a good score. It's only 53 points behind the fourth place."

And the man's eyes were looking at him.

It was as if the man knew his name was Shinkai Taki.

"Amasawa Seiji! Congratulations, you won 2023th place in the 5 Rookie Competition, with 53 points!"

……

hiss! Shinkai Taki felt as if his throat was stuck.

So, who is in fourth place?

Shinkai Taki made a judgment.

If it really comes in fourth place, just accept your fate and participate for the first time.

Fourth place is already good.

"Xinhai——"

Sure enough, as soon as the chief judge said the first two words, Shinkai Taki had already stood up.

Turns out to be fourth.

Although I didn't get the top three, it was okay and I will continue to work hard from now on.

Shinkai Taki said to himself.

But what was a bit unexpected was that the name the other party called turned out to be "Xin Haize, 53.5 points, 4th place, congratulations."

……

……

Not yourself? ? ?

At that time, Shinkai Taki had just felt a little calmer because he knew his name, but now he suddenly realized that it was not him.

So that means you are in the top three? ? ?

Shinkai Taki's heart just fell to the ground, and he became worried again.

This is about getting ranked! !

His eyes suddenly froze, and although he was shaking, there was a hint of excitement.

　Asking for monthly ticket
