Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 363 American Sweetheart

  Broadway is actually a street. The street named after "broadway" doesn't actually seem that wide now, especially at night.

   Now, on both sides of this street, because there are a lot of cars parked, although the sidewalk is not narrow, there are many people coming and going, so it seems quite congested.

  Tao Zhiming was walking down the street, while Huona Jiang Yangshui and Ogata Toshio stood one by one, protecting the two walking in the middle. Although not completely side by side, it is a bit rampant and domineering.

   "If it's all in English, we can't understand it." Huona Jiang Yangshui said, "Why don't you go to a bar or a dance hall and see what a dance hall in New York looks like."

  Tao Zhiming glanced at him indifferently: "In other words, you want to be the president. Can't you learn English? Yachting and golf service clubs, watching musicals and stage plays will be good for you."

  Huona Jiang Yangshui was speechless and muttered: "I was rebellious because I didn't like these things very much when I was a child."

Tao Zhiming continued to glance at him: "It's time to grow up now. Speaking of which, it seems that your grandfather's health is a little bad again. Inheritance or something, you have to fight for it. Otherwise, BRAVOSPORT, it is not easy to save if you want to get shares. enough money."

  "..." The fire was completely extinguished in the Jiangyang water.

   Maehara Mina smiled when he heard it. The young master of the dignified Chiyan family left the family to work for the president. Is this a problem with his brain or the charm of the president.

   Looking at the dazzling signs of various theaters and other shops on the street, Tao Zhiming found the Majestic Theater where the hotel helped to book tickets.

   The performance is the classic "The Wizard of Oz", Tao Zhiming and others booked a box on the second floor wing, which is a little private space.

  The semi-circular box has a good view and makes people more relaxed.

There are several versions of    The Wizard of Oz, but Tao Zhiming is also the first time to watch a stage play.

   I don’t know if it’s because the neon people travel more and more, and some people come to sell the neon version of the plot introduction and line specials.

   This place has been specializing in stage plays and musicals for many years, and it is indeed in place in terms of business details. Tao Zhiming naturally let each of them take a share, and it's better to take a look before the opening.

   At eight o’clock, the show really started.

  The whole performance lasted for nearly three hours. Tao Zhiming watched it for a while. He didn't know if it was because of the jet lag, or if the musical just didn't interest him, and after a while he sat there and fell asleep.

   And Toshio Ogata took a look at Jiang Yangshui, and Mina Maehara fell asleep too.

   They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

  Huona Jiang Yangshui felt that he had scolded himself before to improve his taste, and then fell asleep in the theater in a blink of an eye.

   turned his head to see if anyone else was doing the same, and saw two chicks snickering and pointing their fingers in the box next door higher than their seats.

   He rolled his eyes, is this a shame?

   Just as he was about to give them a look, Toshifu Ogata pulled him and shook his head.

The less trouble, the better.

  Huo Na Jiang Yangshui thinks about it too, Tao Dalang has a thick skin and won't care.

  Tao Zhiming fell asleep like this, and Jiang Yangshui woke him up. He looked in a daze and saw the curtain call on the stage.

   "Is it over? Why did you fall asleep..."

  Kumina Maehara, who was also woken up by the applause, was a little embarrassed and learned to stand up and applaud with others.

   may be because I was in the hotel in the afternoon, and I was too tired to tell him about Fukaya Pear...

   In the applause, the guests in the box behind them seemed to feel less restrained, and said amusingly: "It's so funny to wake up and applaud immediately after the end, vulgar neon people."

  Tao Zhiming turned his head to look in surprise, only to see Huona Jiangyangshui also turning his head and glaring.

   "What are they doing?" Tao Zhiming was really thick-skinned, "Your English is good, can you understand?"

   "I understand the word neon! It must be talking about us." Huona Jiangyangshui said depressedly.

"This is just right." How could Tao Zhiming care about the evaluation of such passers-by, but said happily, "I slept for a while, just find a place to continue playing. But I can't get drunk, lest I board the plane. troublesome time."

   "A face like ours will stand out in a dance hall in New York, right?" Ogata Toshio was a little worried, "In that kind of place, people who drink too much often get out of control. The United States is now very repulsive to us neon people..."

   His duty is, I always feel that if the president is going to play all night and wait for the plane to sleep well, why not let his friends arrange it?

   "...That's right." Tao Zhiming felt that four people like him would not be able to play in the dance hall. As a bodyguard, Toshio Ogata doesn't know how to drink alcohol, so wouldn't he look like a fool there? And if he drinks and dances with Maehara Mina, it's not decent.

   After thinking about it, he said: "Go ahead, change to another family, there are dramas that start late at night."

   "...I don't understand." Huona Jiang Yangshui was so melancholy, "Also, what should I do if I fall asleep again?"

   Toshio Ogata also advised: "Let's go back. There are so many guns in the United States, and our four neon faces are likely to be in danger on the streets in the middle of the night."

  Tao Zhiming thought for a while, then looked at Jiu Mina Maehara again, and smiled calmly: "That's right, then go back."

   Anyway, the only one who needs to maintain a better state after arriving in Idari is himself, Huo Na Jiang Yangshui and Ogata Toshio, adjust their time difference as they do. When you go back to the hotel by yourself, there is actually something to do.

   Maehara Mina bowed her head in secret joy, in fact, she also felt that this was the best idea.

The four of them walked to the door, and while they were still in the corridor, they saw a girl not far away, leaning forward slightly, holding a few photos and a piece of paper in her hands, and said to the person in front of her, "Just let me see you all. Boss, I just finished performing in another theater, I already have stage experience, please!"

   Seeing the pleading look on the girl's face, Tao Zhiming couldn't help being stunned and stopped.

"...The recruitment of actors is really out of my control, and didn't the boss reject you last time?" The man said helplessly, "Everyone still has to prepare for the next performance, how could it be possible to see you at this time? "

   "I've lost weight! As long as your boss sees me again this time, he won't call me fat or ugly, and I have no stage experience!"

   Seeing Tao Zhiming standing on the spot, Huona Jiang Yangshui asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

   Tao Zhiming confirmed it, and it was really her.

   I lived next to Central Park, and ended up coming to Broadway to open a musical at night.

  Jennifer Aniston, the future American sweetheart.

   This made him a little dazed. He didn't expect to meet her here, and she was thinking of jumping to a better theater on Broadway and participating in a better show.

   "...It's nothing." Tao Zhiming walked over slowly, only to see that she was still rejected. He held the photo and lowered his head in frustration.

  Thinking of what he said just now, Tao Zhiming couldn't help laughing in his heart.

   Fat and ugly? She actually encountered such a comment.

   "Hello." Tao Zhiming stood in front of her and greeted her with a smile.

  Jennifer raised her head in surprise and saw an oriental face. The other party had a friendly smile on his face, but the layers in his eyes were complicated. She, who has always been very enthusiastic about acting, suddenly felt, this look... how can I say it? Why is it a feeling of seeing an old friend, but also contains surprises and expectations.

   "...Hello, who are you?" She looked again, this man was followed by three other Orientals. And he was wearing well-fitting clothes that looked expensive.

   "I'm Tao Dalang from Neon, you can call me Bravo. I heard what you said to the staff here, are you an actor?" Tao Zhiming didn't answer her, but continued to ask.

   "Yes." Jennifer was a little weird, someone called Bravo?

   "The expression of asking someone for help just now is very cute, is he not soft-hearted?" Tao Zhiming teased, "I think you have the potential to become a good actor, can you tell me your name?"

   "Thank you... my name is Jennifer Aniston." She was a little bit overjoyed after hearing a compliment that sounded like a joke, but also became curious, "Are you an audience?"

   "Yes, I am the audience." Tao Zhiming actually stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, call me Bravo Tao."

   Tao Zhiming's sighing tone made Jennifer even more strange, why did he say this sentence in such a tone, and his eyes became richer again.

   shook his hand slightly inexplicably, and Jennifer smiled politely: "Mr. Tao, are you a Neon?"

"I grew up in Neon." Tao Zhiming thought that Neon is the most common oriental face in the United States, thinking that standing here chatting is not a problem, so he said to her, "I just invested in Tokyo. A TV series, Miss Jennifer, since I was rejected here, can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

  Jennifer was stunned: "You invested in a TV show?"

   The amount of information in this sentence is not small. After contacting what he said earlier, why does it sound like he has potential? Do you want to invite yourself to audition? But in Tokyo...

  Tao Zhiming said: "Yes. Although it is rather presumptuous, but you are very familiar with this area, and it should be fine in a place where you feel safe, right?"

  Jennifer looked at the person behind him.

  Tao Zhiming introduced: "Oh, these three are my employees. I'm in New York on a business trip, and I'm going to Milan tomorrow morning."

   Jennifer, who was hoping to come to this one of the most famous theaters on Broadway, thought about it and nodded: "Okay, there is a very good coffee shop not far from here."

   looks polite and pompous. The facial features are not as flat as many neon people, and they look tall and handsome.

   The most important thing is, is he really from the film and television industry? Will there be a connection to Hollywood?

   I heard that the United States and Neon are investing in a lot of movies. It seems that they co-produced a version of "The Wizard of Oz" 5 years ago.

   On this street, she felt nothing to fear, it was the place she chose anyway.

  …

   Huo Na Jiang Yangshui, looked at the boss who was laughing and chatting with the American woman not far away, and then looked at Jiu Mina Maehara.

   "...the president's English is pretty good..." Maehara Mina looked for something to say.

   Toshio Ogata is not surprised, he can't control what the boss wants to do, his responsibility is only the safety of the boss.

  Huona Jiang Yangshui felt that Tao Zhiming and Maehara Jiu Mina should have something to do with each other. In this way, that guy's mentality is really cool.

   So he said, "It's good to drink some coffee. If you drink a lot, it's not easy to fall asleep at night."

   Maehara Mina thought it was impossible for them to chat all night, so she kept drinking, so she would be more excited when she went back.

  On the other side, Jennifer, who was sitting opposite Tao Zhiming, had just chatted with him for a few opening remarks, and then asked: "Mr. Tao, why do you think you were a little surprised when you saw me? Have you been to our theater before?"

   "No." Tao Zhiming said truthfully, and then praised, "Miss Jennifer can understand my eyes? That would be a little troublesome."

"What's the meaning?"

   "I also showed a look of affection just now, didn't I?" Tao Zhiming said bluntly, "So I thought it was interesting to hear that you were so beautiful and you were rejected, or you were fat and ugly, so I wanted to meet you."

  Jennifer smiled a little embarrassedly: "I did get a little fat before, and...my nose is not good-looking."

  Tao Zhiming looked at it carefully, and then said, "It's already very good, but she looks a little haggard. Besides performing in the theater, does Miss Jennifer have other jobs during the day?"

   "That's right, I'm still working as a waiter in a restaurant." She was quite frank.

  Tao Zhiming nodded: "I'm too tired and I don't have enough rest, so my skin doesn't look good enough. Are you still looking for various audition opportunities?"

  Jennifer nodded and asked expectantly, "Mr. Tao knows me, do you think there is any role for me?"

   "Not yet." Tao Zhiming smiled, "The first time I saw it, it was purely because I liked it, and I thought your appearance and expression were very spiritual."

  Jennifer said thank you again, and then said, "Mr. Tao is a little different from the neon people in my influence..."

   "Speaking more directly?"

"Yes…"

"I'm an active person." Tao Zhiming paused for a moment, then said after thinking about it, "Although I haven't invested in film and television works in the United States now, I think your image fits the few things I want to do. Miss Jennifer, if I'd like to ask you to shoot a few commercials if you want."

"advertise?"

Tao Zhiming nodded: "I have a yacht and golf industry in Neon, and I have acquired a yacht brand when I came to the United States, and I have another company to discuss. As an actor, do you have a brokerage company that you signed with yourself? Shooting The advertising thing is serious and the agent can talk to us.”

   When it comes to business affairs, Tao Zhiming is also a lot more serious.

  The image of Jennifer Aniston is used for commercials, which is beneficial to the development of Blockbuster's back-end business and the development of RIVA and BRAVOSPORT's neon business. At least in the eyes of neon people, the image of the American represents a foreign style and a high-end.

   "...I'm only playing a small role in a stage play, and I don't have an agency yet."

"Then it's up to you to decide." Tao Zhiming thought about it and said, "Although the news has not been announced yet, the brand of the yacht can tell you that Idali has a 135-year-old RIVA. After you go back, you can Let me know. The acquisition of another company still needs to be negotiated, and that is a later thing. Also on the Neon side, my golf and yachting company has chosen a new star in the neon movie industry, Yasukiko Sawaguchi Spokesperson, you will shoot a group of golf and yacht-related commercials together, which will have a good publicity effect."

  Although Jennifer hopes to be an actress, she really needs money after graduation this year, so she asked, "Is that much? That pay..."

Tao Zhiming thought for a while, and then said: "Well, why don't you ask your family, or find a friend to introduce a brokerage company, and then contact us to negotiate this matter. In short, as the boss, I want to choose you to shoot. "

   He took out his business card and handed it to her: "I have a crush on you."

   said very bluntly, and Jennifer was in a complicated mood for a while.

   Suddenly an oriental man appeared, saying he had a crush on her, and looked very rich. Such an encounter was the first time in the heart of Jennifer, a young girl who was just 18 years old, and the other party was indeed very open, and her conversation... also very hearty and confident.

   Why does it sound a bit like the kind of story told by other friends who want to be actors, pretending to be the crew or the boss, trying to trick young and ignorant girls into bed?

   At this time, Tao Zhiming said: "For the first time, let's talk about it. It's not too early, do you live far away?"

   "It doesn't matter, I usually go back at this time." Jennifer actually had a lot of questions, but by doing so, he undoubtedly lowered his doubts.

  Tao Zhiming smiled and said, "Then go back earlier. Remember to contact me after you think about it."

"…OK."

   After watching the four of them stop a taxi at the entrance of the coffee shop, Jennifer stood on the side of the road and felt dreamy.

  How could he suddenly meet such a person after being rejected by that big theater again and get an invitation to shoot a commercial?

   She picked up the business card in her hand again, but saw only the name and phone number on it.

   She didn't know the name of the neon text, but it was actually printed below: BRAVOTAO.

  Tao Dalang...have to check if what he said is true.

   As long as you're not a liar.

   And let yourself sign a brokerage company to talk to him, that might really be an opportunity.

   Even if it is an advertisement, it is a performance!

  Jennifer looked at the current time and ran to the phone booth not far away to call her godfather.

   He is also an actor. If the agency is concerned, of course he will introduce him, so I feel more at ease. In Jennifer's eyes, her godfather treats her better than her biological father treats her. That guy seldom accompanied him after his divorce from his mother, and now he always stops himself from entering the entertainment industry, saying that it is a very chaotic circle.
