Although she is the same age as Masami Nagasawa, she already looks a bit old in Detective Chinatown 3, while Yui Aragaki still looks young. When the news of her marriage to Gen Hoshino was exposed, many fans in mainland China were heartbroken.
Song Yi never chases stars and he knows only a few Japanese actresses. However, as representatives of Japanese beautiful actresses born in the 1980s, Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, Song Yi has heard of their names.
Wearing a colorful kimono, Yui Aragaki looks youthful and beautiful, with skin as delicate as snow. The kimono cannot hide her graceful figure.
Yui Aragaki found that Song Yi's attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic, which made her a little wary.
"Are Nagasawa-chan and Aragaki-chan both artists?" Song Yi was no longer sleepy and chatted with the two of them with great interest.
Masami Nagasawa is an artist under Toho Entertainment, which is affiliated with Toho Film. She is a school of her own in the Japanese entertainment industry. In 1984, the Toho Cinderella Selection was held, which produced many well-known actresses, including Sawaguchi Shizuko, Saito Yuki and Nagasawa Masami. Artists who debuted through the Toho talent show never have to worry about filming.
Although Masami Nagasawa is young, she has rich acting experience.
In 2000, Masami Nagasawa won the Best Award in the 5th "Toho Cinderella" Selection Competition. In the same year, she entered the entertainment industry with the suspense film "The Devil Walks". This year, she also starred in a fantasy love movie "The Return of the Underworld". In 2003, Masami Nagasawa won the 27th Japan Academy Newcomer Award with "Robot Race".
Although Yui Aragaki has not filmed any TV series or movies yet, she has great respect for Masami Nagasawa, a senior in the film industry, and is very envious of her good luck.
Song Yi noticed Yui Aragaki's expression and said to her, "You are still young, and youth means infinite possibilities. I believe you will become an excellent actress like Ms. Nagasawa."
Aragaki Yui looked at Song Yi. She knew that the guest to be entertained today was a big shot from South Korea, but she did not expect that Song Yi was so young and so handsome.
"Thank you, Mr. Song. I hope I can borrow your good words." Aragaki Yui smiled sweetly and bent down to express her gratitude.
Song Yi knew that Yui Aragaki thought he was just complimenting her casually, so in order to be more persuasive, he said to Yui Aragaki: "In fact, I also have a film company under my name. The film produced by our company was also released in Japan last year, and the box office performance was not bad. So you can trust my vision in this regard."
Masami Nagasawa was very surprised to hear Song Yi say this, "Really? May I ask the name of the movie?" If, as Song Yi said, his company's movies had been released in Japan and had good box office results, then she must have seen it in the cinema.
Song Yi replied somewhat reservedly, "My Naughty Girlfriend, directed by Guo Zairong, starring Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun. Miss Jun Ji-hyun is also a contracted artist of our company."
Masami Nagasawa couldn't help but exclaim, "Siguoyi (that's amazing). I'm also a fan of Jun Ji-hyun. Last year, Jun Ji-hyun came to Tokyo to promote "My Naughty Girlfriend". I also visited the set and took a photo with her."
Yui Aragaki knew that Song Yi didn't need to lie about this issue, as this lie would be easily exposed. Moreover, Toho Film, which is behind Masami Nagasawa, is a Japanese film giant, so this information is easy to verify.
When Song Yi heard what Nagasawa Masami said, his heart suddenly sank. He felt that Nagasawa Masami's appearance might not be accidental. Maybe Toho Films actually knew Song Yi's identity a long time ago, so they agreed to Son Masayoshi's proposal to use Nagasawa Masami to entertain Song Yi.
However, the teenage girl has not yet learned to lie without batting an eyelid. When Song Yi chatted with Masami Nagasawa about movies, he found out that Masami Nagasawa really didn't know him.
Yui Aragaki was a little bit unable to get a word in, and sat aside awkwardly, feeling that she couldn't get involved in the conversation between the two, and she couldn't help feeling a little inferior. The residents of Honshu, Japan, discriminate against the residents of Okinawa. The residents of Okinawa have darker skin, which is somewhat different from the residents of Honshu, and their Japanese pronunciation is also somewhat different.
Song Yi noticed Yui Aragaki's expression, grasped Yui Aragaki's thoughts, and said to her: "Director Guo Zairong is planning a new love movie called "If Love Has Destiny", which is also adapted from a Korean novel of the same name."
"I found that there is a character image in this movie that is very suitable for Ms. Aragaki to play. Would you like to participate in our company's audition? The audition can be arranged in Japan, because some scenes in the movie will be shot in Japan." Song Yi invited directly.
Yui Aragaki was surprised and happy, a little at a loss, and pointed at herself, "Me? But I have never appeared in a movie or TV series. Can an amateur like me also appear in a movie?"
When Masami Nagasawa heard what Song Yi said, she also found it a little unbelievable. If New Asia Pictures really wanted to choose a Japanese actress to cooperate, then she would obviously be more suitable than Yui Aragaki. Why would Song Yi rather choose Yui Aragaki, an amateur who had no filming experience, instead of her?
Could it be that Song Yi wanted to suppress her on purpose to attract her attention? Nagasawa Masami knew that Song Yi would not think so simply, but she could only comfort herself in this way.
"It's not a very important second or third role. The leading actress of the movie has already been decided. It will be played by our company's artist, Ms. Son Ye-jin. I think Ms. Aragaki's temperament and image are very suitable for playing the female lead's school best friend, so I would like to invite you to give it a try."
"My Naughty Girlfriend" has been watched by more than 8 million people in South Korea, ranking second in the annual box office in South Korea. The film has also received a lot of attention in Japan, with a box office of more than 600 million yen in the Japanese market.
Guo Zairong announced early on that he would shoot a love trilogy, with My Naughty Girlfriend being the first and Love in the Sky being the second. Because of the success of the first film, the market has high expectations for Love in the Sky.
If Yui Aragaki can show up in Kuo Zairong's new film and play a major supporting role, it would be equivalent to her debut in the Japanese film industry, and she will definitely receive many new audition invitations.
Song Yi's consideration was actually very simple. Masami Nagasawa was obviously the person that Toho was focusing on cultivating, and it was impossible for Masami Nagasawa to switch to New Asia Entertainment, so why should he spend his efforts to promote artists from other companies?
Yui Aragaki is different. Although she is a signed artist of LesPros Entertainment, which is backed by Japan's largest agency Burning Burning Production, LesPros Entertainment has a mediocre reputation in Japan and has been repeatedly reported in negative news. Rena Nounen became popular after starring in "Ama-chan", but was hidden by the company due to contract renewal issues and was forced to change her stage name.
Fumi Shimizu was also a contracted artist of LesPro Entertainment. However, due to the low share of the profits, her personal income was meager. She accused the company of exploiting artists and finally retired and became a monk.
Now Yui Aragaki is just a model. Although LesPro Entertainment is preparing to train Yui Aragaki to be a singer, her potential as a singer is average. If Song Yi wants to spend some time, he can still poach Yui Aragaki from LesPro Entertainment.
This is actually Song Yi's usual routine. He will cooperate with you first, and after both parties are familiar with each other, he will think of various ways to poach you.
Song Hye Kyo worked with Song Yi on a commercial, and Song Yi poached her from Au Entertainment. Jun Ji Hyun worked with Song Yi on a movie, and Song Yi poached her from SidusHQ.
Of course, Yui Aragaki didn't know that Song Yi was actually targeting her, so he used the movie "A Moment to Be" as bait to lure LesPro Entertainment into the trap.
Although Yui Aragaki was very moved, she was still very sensible. "Thank you, Mr. Song. I will get back to you after I discuss it with the agency."
Masami Nagasawa looked at Yui Aragaki and felt a little jealous. Although she looked down on the role of a supporting role in the movie "A Moment to Remember", being able to star in a Korean movie itself was a publicity gimmick.
After Japanese actor Toru Nakamura won the Best Supporting Actor award at this year's Grand Bell Awards, his pay for film roles has increased.
In the following time, Song Yi told Aragaki Yui and Nagasawa Masami the specific content of the movie "A Moment to Remember", and the two girls were fascinated by it.
They are now at the age when they are looking forward to beautiful love, and this feeling of unrequited love will be unforgettable for them for a long time.
"If I were Song Joo-hee, I would definitely choose to marry Jun-ha and stay by his side to take care of him for the rest of his life. How difficult it is for a person to meet someone he truly loves in his life," said Nagasawa Masami.
"That's right. Life is only seventy years long. Excluding the ten years of youth and the ten years of old age, there are only fifty years left."
"And if we subtract 25 years of darkness from these 50 years, there will only be 25 years left. Eating and drinking tea every day, running around, working and getting sick, it takes up a lot of time. The time we can really stay and accompany our lovers is actually very little."
"A person only has three chances to meet the person he or she loves in his or her lifetime. If the first two chances have been wasted, then the last chance must be seized at all costs. Because once missed, the two of you will be lost in the vast sea of people and there will be no possibility of meeting each other again," said Song Yi.
Because of the success of "My Naughty Girlfriend", Song Yi now also attaches great importance to the film and television adaptation process of online novels.
At present, the mainland's online literature giant Qidian Chinese Network has not yet been established. After Qidian is officially established next year, Xinya Network will officially acquire Qidian and start the experiment of paid online literature.
As long as they hold the killer weapon Qidian, Xinya Pictures will have a steady stream of themes to adapt into film and television dramas. With these four factors, Xinya Group can be said to be invincible in the film and television industry.
Yesterday, a book friend said that I only took leave and did not add more chapters, which made me feel very ashamed. Yesterday I owed 4,000 words, and today I owe 1,000 words. I will add 9,000 words in three days. If you can't do it, remember to join the book friend group to receive the red envelope.
