Chapter 218 Hardness and Softness

The original plan was suddenly interrupted without any warning by Akina Nakamori's change of mind. Even Kondo Shinhiko was a person who was good at pretending, so he was inevitably stunned for a while.

Afterwards, he came to his senses and forced a smile to smooth things over: "What's wrong, Akina, stop making trouble. I promoted the album first because I prepared it very carefully, and it contains my love for you..."

Love songs are popular and best-selling nowadays, so most of his new album will be songs about love. If he randomly picks a song and says that he sang it to Akina Nakamori, it will surely please this young girl who is inexperienced in the world.

Although we don't know why Akina Nakamori changed her mind and didn't admit their relationship, but after he brought it up like this, people present would definitely think that the two lovers were having a tiff and that's why the girl refused to admit their relationship, rather than that he was some kind of pervert who was entangled with a female artist from the same drama.

"Please be more respectful!" Nakamori Akina looked like she had no more patience and had to muster up the courage to fight against the evil. "I have really rejected you many times. Please don't say these messed up and specious words anymore. Such behavior has caused me a lot of trouble!"

"Stop making trouble, okay?" His words seemed to be a gentle negotiation, but in fact, his tone was also a bit cold and impatient. "I am willing to give up some of my popularity for you, just to make our relationship public so that you can stand by my side openly..."

Hearing this, Seiko Matsuda, who was sitting next to Su Yun, couldn't help but laugh out loud: This guy named Kondo is too shameless, isn't he?

Although Akina Nakamori is not as popular as her at present, because she has been busy finding a balance between love and work in recent years, Akina Nakamori, who debuted later than her, has already begun to transform and catch up, and has gradually begun to have a certain status in the circle.

Yamaguchi Momoe chose to retire for love. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese music scene will be divided between her and Nakamori Akina in the future. Therefore, they are also called the two most promising newcomers.

Logically speaking, if the future is going to be like this, she should actually be laughing at the misfortune of Akina Nakamori, her future competitor, who is also the new pork that has taken away her friend Su Yun's attention...

But Su Yun said that their future styles are actually different. Instead of hurting each other and wasting time, it would be better to take this opportunity to hype the news of their healthy competition and achieve a mutually beneficial effect where one plus one is greater than two.

After observing for a few days, when she found that Akina Nakamori really didn't have many complicated thoughts and was very easy to deceive and her thoughts were easily seen through, Seiko Matsuda, who was very good at managing herself, agreed with Su Yun's suggestion and planned to go the route of mutual help and mutual benefit.

What's more, the benefits of the group route are not limited to the entertainment industry - for Su Yun, the effect of many people banding together is that one plus one is far greater than two.

For now, there are three places that Su Yun stays in regularly. One is her hometown Hong Kong, which is unmatched by other regions. The other is America, where most of the funds and industries are concentrated and the development prospects are bright. Therefore, although they have shares in Nintendo and some friends in Japan, they can only end up in a miserable defeat compared to the other two regions.

Therefore, Su Yun would only come to Japan when she had business or some activities, and spent most of the rest of her time in the other two places, leaving those who missed her to watch the cherry blossoms fall and express their thoughts from afar.

The world is so big, and Su Yun will only get to know more and more people in the future. The position of her former companions in her heart will retreat again and again, until they retreat to the deepest corner and she will hardly remember them anymore.

Seiko Matsuda, who knows how to judge the situation and act accordingly, naturally understands that although their friendship will last for a long time, it will never be able to compare with the raging waves of love and passion.

It would be very difficult for her to retain Su Yun's unruly style by herself.

Fortunately, in addition to knowing how to assess the situation and act accordingly, she also knows how to increase the weight on her side.

Whether it is ancient China or ancient Japan, there will be such an operation: when the three thousand harems have the same pursuit of "only seeking the king's attention", fighting alone is far less advantageous than fighting together.

Those smart people who know how to unite with others can integrate the scattered sands at hand into a powerful and sufficient force to fight against those at the top.

Therefore, there are always records of women in the harem in ancient times forming cliques - three thousand of them, how widespread was that?

Instead of hoping that the abusive king will occasionally have a change of heart, it is better to turn passivity into initiative and gather together the people and things that can be obtained around you, thereby magnifying your own "target".

In this way, when the abusive king thinks of one of the members of the small group, the others will inevitably be implicated and take this opportunity to see the emperor's face as well.

The philandering and promiscuous king definitely doesn't want to see, when he has the rare opportunity to come over, not the beauties welcoming him happily and harmoniously, but a few people in this area quarreling and fighting over one thing or another.

Therefore, this is also the main reason why Seiko Matsuda chose peaceful coexistence instead of fighting after some consideration: there are still powerful enemies outside, and they are already the group with the least progress and qualifications. If they don't unite and play the role of solidarity at this time, but instead have internal friction problems due to mutual dissatisfaction... the ending will inevitably be a disastrous defeat.

Just like the oriole watching the mantis stalking the cicada, while believing that he has no doubts about winning, he still dares not be complacent. Instead, he uses his social nature to recruit friends to ensure the highest success rate of this operation.

Seiko Matsuda glanced at Su Yun who was sitting next to her, and when she saw that her eyes were fixed on the confrontation between the two people in front of her, she turned her gaze back there.

Although the younger generation Akina Nakamori looks weak and vulnerable, the explosive power and tenacity contained in her thin body should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, Su Yun would not have chosen her, an inexperienced newcomer, to play the heroine of "The Girl with a Thousand Faces" in her true colors - the determination of Akina Nakamori, who seems to be able to burn her entire life for the goal, is very similar to the heroine Kitajima Maya, who is essentially a drama addict.

Beneath that clear and fragile surface is an unyielding, proud and stubborn soul.

Thanks to the acting guidance from a large number of excellent predecessors during the years when "The Thousand Faces of the Girl" was filmed, Akina Nakamori's on-the-spot performance this time can be said to be seamless and natural. If I hadn't learned the truth from Su Yun a long time ago, and knew that Akina Nakamori's behavior was just a trick, I would almost believe that what Akina Nakamori said was "the truth."

As for the reason why Su Yun asked her to come to the venue again and told her the truth in advance, it was because she needed her to act as a "witness".

"We've been to the amusement park together before! But because we needed to keep it secret, we didn't take a photo together, but the ticket stub is still here with me..." At this point in the confrontation, Kondo Shinhiko finally thought of a self-proclaimed evidence, "The media also reported that you appeared in that amusement park that day!"

"Oh, Kondo-kun, now that you're saying that, I really remember it." Matsuda Seiko stood up, still smiling perfectly and appropriately under the magnesium lights, without a trace of panic. "That day, Akina and I secretly made an appointment to go to the amusement park - but everyone knows that our fans are not very harmonious, so we can't make our friendship public for the time being."

"But, facing a guy like you who is so persistent, I have to stand up and help my good friend clarify the matter!"

"No, that's not it..." Kondo Shinji, who was originally confident, panicked after being hit one after another. "You and Akina have no connection at all. I pay so much attention to her every day. I know it very well..."

"So you not only pester me openly, but also secretly monitor me behind my back?!" Akina Nakamori once again made a panicked and hurt expression, "Because of the fans' problem, Seiko and I have only been able to contact each other privately. In order to avoid being discovered, we have been in contact very little during this period... I didn't expect that you were secretly "keeping an eye" on me every day - you are so scary!"

This reversal immediately caused an uproar in the venue: it turns out that Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori, who have always been considered rivals and dislike each other, are actually good friends who can contact each other privately and go out together; on the contrary, Shinhiko Kondo, who has recently been rumored to be having an affair with Akina Nakamori and seems to be very close to her, is a perverted pervert who likes to pester and spy on girls!

"You are talking nonsense! You are all talking nonsense!" After all, he is still a young man with little experience. Kondo Shinhiko, who was already mentally unstable due to anger, was irritated by the series of reversals and the eyes of the audience. He shouted incoherently, "What I said is the truth!"

"It must be Mary Sue who instigated them to do this, because I know that she bought the Venice Prize this time with money..." He waved his hands, breathing heavily with an excited look, feeling like he was at the end of his rope.

He was so excited that he couldn't even stand steadily. Finally, he stretched out a hand and placed it on the golden screen beside him. Only then did he stand steadily and face the sharp purple eyes of Su Yun who stood up.

"What are you talking about here? It's common sense that awards like this always require money for PR." Su Yun frowned and glared at him. "There are so many gods engraved on the golden screen right next to you. You slander others in front of the gods. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Kondo Shinhiko pounded the screen heavily, using the sound to attract most people's attention, and then continued: "Everything I said is true. If it is false, then let the gods punish me!"

The myths and legends of Japan have always been known as "the interdependence of gods and humans". Most people have deeply rooted the idea that gods are everywhere and believe that everything in the world is a projection of gods.

I don't know if it was really a punishment from the gods or just a coincidence, but after Kondo Shinhiko shouted this, the golden screen that looked very solid suddenly made a strange cracking sound that not many people noticed because of the chaos in the venue.

People and things that appear extremely powerful on the surface are often incredibly vulnerable inside.

For example, Kondo Shinhiko who looked so confident before, and also for example... the easily damaged hollow carved joints at the bottom of the gold screen in this townhouse.

In the dark corner where the spotlight was completely focused on Kondo Shinhiko's crazy performance and therefore did not notice, the corners of Akina Nakamori's lips, which were originally pursed in distress, suddenly curled up.
