Chapter 93
As the New Year approaches, Arata Furuta once again declined the invitation to the Red and White Song Festival. Looking back on this year, the ratings of several works starring Arata were quite good. And in the year-end list, Arata finally hit the top spot.
After ten years in the industry, he became a top celebrity with considerable attention and influence.
Except for the pending lawsuit with Livegate, all the hard work in the past year seems to be quite worthwhile. And the most important thing is that he has gained a group of friends like Morizono-senpai.
During the New Year holiday, Arata tried not to think about the lawsuit. Instead, she stayed at home and quietly studied the script for the next drama.
"Symphony of Lovers" starring Arata has come to an end, with the average ratings of the whole drama reaching 18%, once again establishing his reputation as the king of ratings. And just during the New Year holiday, the SP special episode of "Symphony of Lovers" will also be
The official relaxation brings a happy ending to the funny love between Mr. Chiaki and Noda.
Speaking of which, Arata is really tired of continuing to film love themes. Unless Shunji Iwai comes to him, he will never accept such a script again. However, because of his previous work, he has already booked two dramas.
It's a set and a movie, so Arata can only act according to the contract.
However, his next drama is not a love drama, but a medical drama. The tentative title of the drama is "code blue", and the co-stars are Arata's old friends Erika and Gakki! In addition,
In addition, the crew has also selected the well-known Liuye senior to participate in the drama.
Arata's mood immediately improved when he thought that he no longer had to act in love scenes. So when Ryoko asked him if he wanted to attend the New Year's party arranged by Shizuka, he agreed without hesitation.
"I really don't understand why Shizuka always holds parties?"
"Of course it's to meet more handsome guys! Thanks to her, even I know a lot of outstanding boys!"
"Could it be that you fell out of love last time..."
"Why are you bringing this up again? If you say it again, I will ignore you!"
"Hahaha, I just asked casually, how have you been studying during your time in the troupe?"
"Hey, when I watched you act in the past, I always thought it was an easy thing, but the troupe's performance is really difficult! Moreover, it is a play within a play, although I only play a small role..."
Seeing Liangzi pouring out her bitter words, Arata couldn't help but curiously asked:
"What kind of play is it?"
"How should I put it? It's a show where two troupes are performing different plays at the same time, and all kinds of jokes happen in it. In short, the script looks very complicated!"
"Okay! It's better not to say it then!"
…
When Arata took Shizuka to a nightclub in Azabu, as soon as he stopped the car, a man in uniform came over and asked him if he needed parking service!
"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Furuta! The eldest lady has already told me that when you arrive, you can go in directly and I will park the car for you first!"
"Oh, that's a lot of work!"
As Arata said, he got out of the car and handed the keys to the other party. Then, he reached out and let Liangzi take his arm, and then walked into the store.
Speaking of which, this was the first time for Xintai to participate in such a party. Compared with the last yacht party, this one seemed much more casual. When a few people entered, the dim lights and lively scene immediately made people feel...
The person relaxed. On the dance floor, there were many boys and girls about his age, dancing enthusiastically!
"Ah, Shinta, why are you here? Come and dance with me!"
Arata couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Shizuka swaying to the music on the dance floor. However, before he could respond, Ryoko pulled him onto the dance floor. Then he came to Shizuka's side and started dancing with her.
.And soon, many girls around noticed Arata's figure, and there was a burst of cheers.
"You are so popular!"
"What……"
"I said you are so popular! Arata!"
…
He saw if there were girls around him coming over, dancing and saying hello to him. Arata couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but fortunately Shizuka was always by Arata's side, which made him feel at ease a lot.
After the song ended, the DJ on the sidelines immediately changed to a slightly more soothing song. Shizuka, who felt a little tired, patted Arata and motioned for him to go aside and rest for a while.
"Santa, long time no see, you are getting more and more handsome!"
Seeing Ryoko and Shizuka's sister Kana walking over together, Kana took the initiative to come over without waiting for Arata to say hello, and many people she didn't know also sat nearby.
"This is Arata Furuta whom I mentioned to everyone in the market. She is a actor by profession and is also a good friend of my sister and I. She is currently studying at the University of Tokyo!"
When Kana introduced Arata to her friends, those people had no reaction. Arata just nodded a little cautiously and stopped talking.
"Hey, why didn't you respond? Didn't you ask me to invite my sister's celebrity friends over? I invited them and you ignored them!"
"Ah, Chana, I thought you would ask girls to come!"
"Eh?"
Seeing the arrogant looks of those men, Arata just looked at Shizuka with curious eyes, and Shizuka leaned into Arata's ear and whispered:
"They are all friends of Chana, and I don't know her very well! The boy I just talked to has an investment business at home. It is said that he likes to date many girls at the same time. I don't want him to associate with Chana!"
…
Before Jingxiang could finish speaking, the boy who just spoke said to Jingxiang disdainfully:
"Sister Shizuka, I didn't expect you to start dating Yunren!"
"Hidetsuki, Arata is a friend of my sister and I..."
"Friend? I know him. He is the one who recently filed a lawsuit with Livegate. My father said that he never expected that Japan would have such a stupid president. At this time, if you don't rush to invest in Livegate, you have to go to court with the other party. It's really ridiculous.
I don’t know what’s going on in his mind!”
…
When he heard that the other party criticized him unceremoniously and even mentioned livegate, Arata was not too angry at this time. Instead, he calmly asked the other party:
"Is there anything wrong with filing a lawsuit with Livegate?"
"Haha, you are really an idiot! Don't you know that Livegate is about to carry out a series of acquisitions? At this time, you should buy a large amount of Livegate's stock anyway and hold it in your arms like a baby! You actually,
I choose to have a stalemate with the other party, but I don’t blame you. Not everyone has the strength to participate in Livegate’s investment project. After all, there are not many people in Tokyo who can pass President Horie’s investment threshold!”
"Livegate's investment project? Is it very profitable?"
"Of course you'll make money! People like you won't understand this advanced investment concept of acquiring Fuji TV, then acquiring Sony, and opening up the all-round ecosystem of hardware and software, teachers and offline, content and channels!"
