Chapter 96: Going to Japan

  China's entertainment circle is different from Japan's, so when China's entertainment circle develops, learning from Japan's entertainment circle isn't a good choice. Although Japan's entertainment circle has a large cash flow, it's still obviously a very small and closed circle that only plays with itself and is only skilled at playing with itself. China is too big, and China itself has the ability to influence all surrounding cultures. For this kind of Chinese entertainment circle, learning from Europe and America is the best choice. As for Japan's entertainment circle, let Taiwan learn from it instead.

  As for the Korean entertainment circle? The deformity of Japanese entertainment lies in their self-enclosure, while the Korean entertainment industry is also a deformed ecosystem. The deformity of Korean entertainment lies in the fact that they are actually a small entertainment circle, but they insist on taking the path of a large-scale externalized entertainment industry. Moreover, they have a very good group of people who specify their routes, which successfully introduced K-pop to China and Japan. Their outward-facing entertainment industry is highly dependent on external attention. If East Asia no longer cares about Korean entertainment, it will be difficult for them to move forward. For example, the Korean gaming industry is a great illustration. Once Western online games and Chinese online games reached a certain level of quality, the market for Korean online games shrank back, becoming a small industry that only played with itself.

  A girl like Li Xuejiao would definitely attract a lot of attention in Japan, but whether this attention can be converted into fame and ability depends on the girl's own luck. When Inoue saw Li Xuejiao, he wouldn't think so much, and after seeing the girl, it was just a simple sparkle in front of him.

  "Li Xuejiao has won a national-level gold medal and looks pretty good too." Wang Guanghai said to Inoue, holding the materials.

  "Ask her if she has a boyfriend, what her parents' occupations are, and if she's ever been abroad," said Inoue.

  Wang Guanghai asked in Chinese, and the final answer was also very satisfying. The girl was very proud, from small to large, there were not many people who could be looked up to, and her parents' work was not bad either, at least it could be said that they had no worries about food and clothing, although they had never been abroad. But it was clear that during the handling of the procedures, there would be no obstacles. Several people exchanged a few words, and in each other's eyes, they found appreciative and affirmative expressions. Good seedlings are hard to find, and that kind of Japanese-style cute girl is almost impossible to find in today's Chinese music groups. In this case, being able to find this uncut but already very promising rough stone was already quite good.

  Next, Li Xuejiao played another piece of yangqin. Inoue and Zhang Yu couldn't understand it, but Wang Guanghai nodded repeatedly. After Li Xuejiao left, Wang Guanghai said to the two people beside him: "This girl's musical accomplishment is also very good, no wonder she won the gold medal, indeed has strength."

  "I can rest assured then. Zhou Xiao's task, finding someone like this is already halfway to completion." said Inoue. The number of talented people in the country is countless, regardless of age or gender, but those who can truly stand out and be a representative are hard to find. It can be said that half of the project has been successful.

  Two days later, Li Xuejiao received a phone call from Zhou Yu informing her that she had been admitted.

  "But I haven't graduated yet..." Li Xuejiao said, her studies should logically wait until the summer of 2001 to graduate, although she has started looking for work now, but the main reason is that even if she finds a job now, she can still come back and get her diploma at any time, but if she goes to Japan, how will she deal with these things?

  "Don't worry about this, we've already spoken with your school and it's all set. Whether you fly back to get it or have the school mail it to you, there won't be any problem. Our company can even provide you with a round-trip ticket," said Zhou Yu.

  There are only a few members from the music academy, and azx doesn't lack this money.

  It took Li Xuejiao several days to settle her own affairs, and when she met with everyone, she found that others had already reported. Among the selected people, perhaps only Li Xuejiao was nervous and even doubted the authenticity of this matter. As for others, either they had their own channels to prove that the three people from Japan were real, or they just wanted to stand out so much that they wouldn't worry too much.

  Zhou Xiao planned, Uncle Inoue flew to China to recruit fourteen girls who studied music and finally completed their visas at the fastest speed after several hours of flight, landing at Tokyo Airport.

  "Wow, so big, so many foreigners!"

  "Is this really Tokyo? Will the Japanese catch us?"

  A dozen or so girls chattered incessantly, making one's head ache. Uncle Jing, who was following them, hastily took out his phone and called Zhou Xiao.

  "Yes, they're back, all fourteen girls," said Inoue.

  "Bring them to the company, and the dormitory is also ready. I'm still busy with the sound effects of the movie here, and I'll be there soon." Zhou Xiao hung up the phone.

  Inoue and three others brought fourteen girls to the AZX office, which was only a half-floor office in a building due to the company's small size. With over a dozen girls and several agents packed into this space, it felt somewhat cramped. The girls who had just arrived in Japan finally lost their initial excitement, replaced by anxiety surrounding them. The unfamiliar environment outside the window and the tall buildings constantly reminded them that they were not in their home country. The surroundings were filled with unfamiliar voices, making them feel helpless like floating duckweed.

  "Please sit down and wait for a while. The boss will be back soon." Zhang Yu said, arranging everyone to a relatively spacious place in the corner of the company.

  "Huh? Isn't Mr. Inoue the boss?" Li Xuejiao asked, after spending a few days together, more than a dozen girls discovered that among the three of them, Zhou Yu, who was clearly the youngest, also had the least seniority, and many trivial tasks were assigned to him, while Wang Guanghai was a professional, with a much deeper understanding of music than this group of young girls who had just graduated or not yet graduated. Only Inoue, the oldest of the three, couldn't speak Chinese, and it could be clearly felt that he was the final decision-maker for many things, so almost everyone took Inoue to be the boss.

  "Inoue is the company's second-in-command, as long as you listen to him besides the boss, it's okay, but he's not the big boss of the company." Zhang Yu said mysteriously.

  "Which big boss is it? What's he like?"

  "This... just wait till the boss comes and you'll see." Zhang Yu said.

  Several girls were about to ask questions, Zhang Yu's phone rang and he quickly walked away to answer it. Meanwhile, Inoue was in another office discussing the trip to China with the chief agent Watanabe Keiko, leaving the girls unaccompanied for a while.

  The atmosphere was a bit awkward, looking at the somewhat empty company, more than a dozen girls couldn't help but think: "Could it be true that we were deceived...? Are these people human traffickers? Bringing us to Japan to become the wives of Japanese devils?"

  In just a few minutes, countless thoughts flashed through the minds of these girls, deepening their fear and the silence at this moment.

  "Mom, I want to go home..." Many girls couldn't help but think.

  At last, this terrifying silence was finally broken, as a boy suddenly walked in.

  The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, with a refreshing short haircut and a clean suit that didn't make him look much more mature, but rather his tender face, which seemed to be able to squeeze out water, made people feel that he was absolutely not over twenty years old.

  "Sorry I'm late, I had some work to do." The boy walked up to the group of over ten girls and spoke in perfect Mandarin.

  "Huh?" More than ten people looked at each other in confusion, who is this?

  "Oh~~ Uncle Inoue's eyes are quite good, huh." The boy greeted the girls and took a step back to look them up and down. What he said was also very rude and could almost be considered sexual harassment, but being harassed by such a cute little boy... wasn't that hard to bear.

  "Where has everyone gone? The office?" The man looked up and asked, gazing at the somewhat deserted company.

  All the girls nodded.

  "Let's talk about it when they come out, what would you like to drink? I'm buying!" said the boy.
