Tokyo's most affectionate - #535 - Chapter 519: Flame
The program team of the National Beauty Contest released new updates on SNS. The results of the semi-finals promotion will be announced at 9 p.m.
In the lounge of Zero Hour Office, three people were sitting around the sofa, looking at laptops.
“Yuki-chan, you are here.”
Kurosawa held the mouse and operated the computer. After 9 o’clock, he refreshed the web page and finally saw Yuki Ichinose’s name on the player introduction page without scrolling up or down.
“Why are you in the first row…”
Ichinose Yuki glanced at it, suddenly a little shy.
Her academic performance has been just like that since she was a child, and she has never had the experience of being among the best.
“No. 005?”
Seeing this situation, Igarashi Runa looked at the faces of the two girls in front.
“What’s wrong with the number?”
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed a strange look on her face and asked.
Seeing this, Ichinose Yuki also cast a curious look.
Before recording the player introductions in the afternoon, officials explained that each player’s number was random.
“Although the official said that there is no distinction between high and low numbers, in fact there is a distinction. The smaller the number, the more important it is to the official. And according to the number sequence, the smaller the number, the easier it is to be seen by the audience and fans. Attract votes.”
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained.
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru clicked on the player page numbered 001, which came with a video-recorded personal introduction.
This girl looks about 16 years old. She has very delicate and beautiful facial features, fair skin and long legs. She has a slender and tall figure. She is 168cm tall. Although she looks young, she is also pure and charming.
With such a superior appearance, I am afraid that she has countless suitors since she was a child. No matter which school she goes to, she is the well-deserved number one school beauty.
Although there is no strict height requirement for Neon models, anyone who is 160 meters can be used as a model.
But if you are taller, as long as you are not over 1.8 meters tall, generally speaking, height is a bonus.
“She is quite beautiful, but compared to Miss Ichinose, she is obviously lacking.”
Igarashi Runa looked at the video and said.
“Do you suspect there’s something shady?”
Kurosawa Hikaru had the same opinion.
Maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but putting aside subjectivity and purely judging by appearance, Xiao Yuki’s appearance is close to perfect, with one of the few shortcomings, that is, her height is not outstanding enough.
With two sets of photos, Koyuki was once very popular in Tokyo circles and her potential could be seen.
Although Xiao Yuki’s fame is gradually fading because she has not released new photos for a long time, this is just a slumber before her official debut.
“It’s not so shady… The National Beauty Contest is jointly funded by many financial groups, and there is a good guarantee in terms of fairness. However, the number can reveal the opinions of the judging panel.”
Igarashi Runa shook her head and explained.
“Since it’s not a shady case, why is Xiao Yuki ranked fifth?”
Kurosawa frowned, a little unhappy.
Although he didn’t finish reading the introductions of the four contestants, he could tell just from the number 001 that Xiao Yuki was definitely more beautiful.
“…”
Igarashi Runa fell into deep thought and suddenly glanced sideways at them.
“Is it possible that I am not single? Today I recorded an introduction video and when I said that I am not single and have a boyfriend, the judges’ expressions changed.”
Yuki Ichinose noticed her gaze and suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the other two people looked at her.
Then, the room fell into silence.
I have to admit, this sentence really hits the point.
No wonder Xiao Yuki was numbered 005 despite her superior appearance… At least four contestants were more favored by the judges.
For artists, the difference in value between being single or not is huge.
In a sense, the fact that Yuki Ichinose was ranked 005 when she was in a relationship was already the result of the judges being lenient.
“It’s a little bad…”
Igarashi Runa came back to her senses and couldn’t help but said.
Originally, in her opinion, Ichinose Yuki’s desire to win the title of national beauty girl champion of the year was completely easy and a sure shot.
But at this moment, she felt unsure.
What I have to admit is that if a girl has a boyfriend, she is not that attractive to the opposite sex.
Although it doesn’t matter whether the artist Ichinose Yuki is single or not, because Zero Hour serves as a backstage and backer to pave the way for her.
But for other shows, it matters whether you are single.
If you are not single, that is a big minus.
In addition, because 80% of the viewers and fans of the beauty pageant are men, everyone will lose interest if they find out that Yuki Ichinose is not single.
Perhaps there is almost no contact between artists and fans in real life, and there may even be no actual contact in a lifetime, but this does not affect fans’ fantasies and dreams of becoming lovers with their idols.
It has to be said that even if she is a top manager and has managed dozens of artists… she has no experience in public relationships with artists.
Even if her artists are in love, they are under her supervision and must keep their secrets.
“Sister Runa, does Xiao Yuki still have a chance to win the championship?”
Kurosawa Hikaru also thought about a lot and asked.
“Yes, Miss Ichinose can still rank fifth despite being in a relationship. It can be seen from the side that her overall score is very high in the eyes of the judging panel.”
Igarashi Runa nodded, but lacked confidence.
The winners of any previous beauty contest, even if they were not the champions, had never been in a relationship.
Perhaps in this era, love is free and you can date whoever you want.
But for artists, if you want to love freely, others have no right to stop you. But if others are not interested in you or like you, you have no right to stop others.
“Can the comprehensive score be not high…”
Kurosawa Hikaru couldn’t help but said after hearing this.
If Xiao Yuki hadn’t said that she was dating and had a boyfriend, the moment she decided to participate, there would have been no doubt about her title as the most powerful beautiful girl of the year.
In fact, the program team probably did not expect this result.
Because the program team will ask about their relationship status during the introduction of the contestants. In fact, it is to allow the contestants to express their views on love, which is usually a bonus.
“sorry……”
Ichinose Yuki lowered her head, a little frustrated.
“Why are you apologizing? It’s not your fault.”
Kurosawa touched her head and comforted her.
“Miss Ichinose, you don’t have to be too depressed. You have a good chance of winning the championship.”
Seeing her depressed mood, Igarashi Runa came to her senses and immediately cheered up.
“Runa, Runa, how can you show your timidity in front of an artist?”
At the same time, she was also upset in her heart and blamed herself.
The manager’s duty is to help the artist solve problems. If even she panics and is afraid, the artist’s situation will only be worse.
However, she quickly realized the problem… This was because she couldn’t help but show her weak side in front of Kurosawa, the person she liked.
“Yeah, I’ll try my best.”
Facing their comfort, Ichinose Yuki came back to her senses, forced a smile and nodded, forcing herself to cheer up.
“The evaluation criteria for the special award are 40% of the online vote and 60% of the review vote… We disrupt the plan and ask Kurosawa to shoot a MV for you first to help you gain popularity and fans. ”
Igarashi Runa calmed down, thought about it, and came up with a countermeasure.
“Are you going to mess up the plan?”
Hearing this, Yuki Ichinose felt even more guilty.
“Although the most ideal situation is for you to debut as the most powerful beautiful girl of the year, it will be more beneficial to your debut. But the plan cannot keep up with the changes, so we can put it another way.”
Seeing her depressed mood, Igarashi Runa winked at her man while explaining.
“for example?”
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her eye contact and answered.
“As Zero Hour, please explain why we changed the heroine of the MV this time.
The first reason is that your girlfriend, Adelina, doesn’t want to be an artist.
The second reason is that you think Yuki Ichinose fits the image of the heroine of this MV very well.
As long as you are optimistic about her and she performs well in the MV, your fans will fall in love with her and be influenced by you, and their view of her will be greatly changed.
At that time, I will run it again, let people pretend to be the crowd, and recognize that the heroine this time is Yuki Ichinose who is participating in the National Beauty Contest. Not to mention all, at least some of the fans were diverted to support her. If this was achieved, the online voting would be settled. “
After Igarashi Runa calmed down, her thoughts changed quickly.
If you have the trump card, you can do whatever you want.
How many fans are there in Zero Hour? There are tens of millions of YouTube subscribers and tens of millions of Twitter fans. These are not all, because there are still many followers who do not follow the trend specifically on Twitter and YouTube.
Once Zero Hour fans enter the venue, the voting session of this competition will be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Because Ichinose Yuki’s back to Zero is like stepping on the shoulders of giants, and the attention of other players is not at the same level as hers.
“Then do it.”
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible.
In fact, he has long wanted to shoot a MV for Xiao Yuki.
However, Igarashi Runa made plans for Ichinose Yuki’s career and wanted to wait until she won the national beauty girl championship.
“Miss Ichinose, the judges should have a neutral attitude towards the fact that you are not single. In other words, you need to perform better in the subsequent competition sessions to get their high scores.
But don’t worry, Kurosawa and I will help you. “
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and concluded.
“good.”
Even though Ichinose Yuki didn’t have any confidence, he didn’t want to show his cowardice, lest they worry about him.
“You don’t have to worry too much. Starting from the next stage, contestants will be able to put on makeup. With Kurosawa’s skills and his understanding of you, he will apply makeup on you a few times and blind the judges’ eyes to win. ”
However, Igarashi Runa is very accurate about the artist’s condition, and he sees that she is more sensible and does not want to make people worry, so he added.
“Right, Kurosawa?”
For better effect, she also nudged Kurosawa with her elbow.
“It doesn’t matter, I will take action.”
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly and said proudly.
Yuki has a good foundation, and with his mastery of makeup, it is not impossible to amaze the world.
“Pfft… Brother Guang, you look so arrogant.”
Yuki Ichinose was amused by his tone and laughed out loud.
After laughing out loud, she saw Brother Guang looking like he was sure of winning, and she felt relieved.
At the same time, as the list of contestants of the National Beauty Girl Contest was finally exposed, it also caused a stir on the Internet.
There are a total of 200 contestants who passed the semi-finals and entered the elimination round.
This number is large, but after several rounds of screening, the average value of the contestants who came to this stage is very high.
Maybe they are plain-faced, but each of them has remarkable strengths and can be called a beauty.
For example, some girls have beautiful eyes, beautiful bones, beautiful skin, good-looking facial features, temperament, good figure, and young age… As for having a good voice, this is an additional point.
The elimination round is divided into several stages, and the first stage is the voting stage.
At this time, the importance of the number before and after is very obvious.
After all, a higher number means more people can see you, more exposure.
In today’s era, although there are many ways to entertain, they usually cost money.
Surfing the Internet does not cost much. With a mobile phone or a computer, you can have fun with the Internet.
That’s why various hot news on the Internet will attract many bored and empty netizens.
Beauty pageants are very attractive to male netizens, because there are many participating girls, each with its own merits, and all the types you like are available.
“001 is still as beautiful as ever this time!”
“003 is so cute.”
“004 is my classmate.”
In a short while, many netizens started discussing on various SNS and Twitter.
Even more, some boys got together offline to discuss because it was still early.
But not long after, some netizens discovered the situation of 005.
005 is very beautiful. Just looking at the photo, people can even skip the first few people and click directly into her personal information.
“005 is Ichinose-senpai, right? Yamada, your goddess is also participating in the competition.”
“I saw it, I’m watching it.”
“Wow… Ichinose-senpai said she has a boyfriend, is that true?”
“Is she lying?”
The high school boy called Yamada also saw the question about answering the view of love, and immediately stood up excitedly.
As a model, Ichinose Yuki was once very popular in major universities in Tokyo.
The school is a small society, divided into areas according to grade and city, such as elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university.
In the university area of Tokyo, if students from other schools make any big news, it will attract attention.
Especially when other schools have a super beautiful girl as a model, and there are also photo albums, there are pictures and truth, which is even more exciting.
That’s why when Ichinose Yuki became famous overnight on the Internet, many boys, whether in the same school or other schools, were attracted by her.
However, at this moment, as someone recognized Yuki Ichinose as participating in the competition and learned that she had a boyfriend, countless innocent boys felt as if struck by lightning and were disillusioned on the spot.
“Damn, I was deceived by her appearance. 005 actually has a boyfriend. It’s too early to vote unanimously.”
Not long after, someone posted a comment on SNS, saying that they were deceived.
You know, the voting mechanism of the beauty pageant requires that the account needs to be bound to a social account, such as Twitter, SNS, line, etc., and can only vote 5 times a day. You can vote for 5 people or vote unanimously for one contestant.
After he voted unanimously, he could not vote for other contestants tonight.
“Me too, I didn’t expect she actually had a boyfriend.”
This person glanced at the list of contestants and was attracted by 005’s appearance at first glance. He felt that he fell in love in an instant. He voted unanimously without watching the video, but after watching the video, he immediately regretted it.
“You already have a boyfriend, why do you still participate in beauty pageants?”
“You are 18 years old and still participate in beauty pageants, competing with 14-15 year old girls, how shameless.”
“005 is a student of Qingquan Private High School, Ichinose Yuki, I have seen her, she is a hot girl, completely different from the innocent look in the photo (laugh)”
It’s not just one person, many people started to post malicious comments, and the flames burned.
The Japanese network is very violent, because in life, they have suffered a lot of grievances but have nowhere to vent, and they are depressed.
Once there is a slight disturbance on the Internet, or something they don’t like, they will find an outlet to vent.
In reality, they dare not speak loudly when they are scolded or bumped by their classmates, and they can only bow their heads and apologize, and walk away timidly.
On the Internet, hiding behind computers and various apps, let alone the enemy is taller and stronger than them, even if Tyson comes, they dare to curse a few words.
The more arrogant these keyboard warriors are on the Internet, the more unhappy they are in reality.
Igarashi Runa had anticipated this situation and didn’t even bother to read the comments. Instead, she asked:
“Kurosawa, the first round of voting will last for 7 days and will end next Friday. Then, based on the popularity of the votes, the top 50 contestants will be selected from the 200 contestants and they will be allowed to appear on various programs. During this time, can you shoot a new MV?
“Small problem.”
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
Maybe it is troublesome for others to shoot MVs, but it is easy for him to shoot MVs. After all, he is a singer, a director, and a photographer. Although the workload is more, it will be easier to implement during the shooting process.
The most important thing is that he is not short of money now, so he doesn’t have to worry about insufficient funds for shooting MVs.
“It is best to shoot and release it before next Wednesday. There is a limit on the number of votes.”
Igarashi Runa knew that he was very experienced in shooting MVs and had strong shooting skills. He nodded slightly and reminded him.
“Okay. “
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
As for Yuki Ichinose, she was the youngest, so she didn’t say anything and just listened to their arrangements.
She just had to do whatever the two men said, anyway, Hikaru and Ms. Igarashi wouldn’t hurt her.
They chatted for a while, and because it was late, close to 10 o’clock in the evening, Igarashi Runa decided to take them home.
Leaving the agency, Igarashi Runa drove along the way while reminding:
“Ms. Ichinose, have a good rest after you go back, wait for my notice, and contact me if you have any questions. Also, don’t read the comments about you on the Internet, I will send someone to deal with it.”
Female artists are very vulnerable to attacks on the Internet.
As an artist, you must be mentally prepared to withstand the flames.
If you don’t take the comments on the Internet to heart, it’s naturally a good thing, but if you are a picky person, there are many artists who have been forced to commit suicide by flames.
However, suicide is too extreme after all, and more artists retreat under the attack of flames and become indistinguishable from the public.
“Thank you for your reminder, I understand. ”
Yuki Ichinose, who was sitting in the back seat, had already had experience with this and nodded slightly.
When the first set of photos taken by Guang Ge for her suddenly became popular on the Internet, she was cyberbullied once.
Because she had been slandered by people before, she had a scandal and attracted many people’s doubts and criticisms.
However, facing such attacks, she didn’t feel anything.
Perhaps words have the power to hurt the heart, but she had experienced school bullying in junior high school.
That’s why she has a strong resistance to these things and is not so easily defeated.
No matter how malice people have, she will never be defeated, and she will never have the idea of committing suicide and ending it all.
The people who supported her at the beginning were her parents, and now, there is another person who supports her to live, that is Guang Ge.
This chapter is not easy to divide into chapters. A chapter of 5.6k should be called a big chapter, right?
