Chapter 1294, page 1303: Today, it seems like all the artists from Tree Friend's show are getting a bit cocky!
The opening red carpet ceremony of the 3rd Tokyo International Film Festival is about to take place.
From the main entrance of the NHK Hall, all the way to the fork in the road leading into the park, there were crowds of people coming to see it.
As everyone knows, today, all the famous artists in the entertainment industry will be here, as will the world's most well-known celebrities!
Every time a car drove by, sharp-eyed and quick-witted people would recognize who was inside. The news would then spread like wildfire to the media reporters at the red carpet entrance before the car even stopped. And once the car did stop, it would be greeted by a barrage of cameras and microphones.
Many veteran artists have already received a warm welcome, and as time goes on, truly popular stars are gradually emerging.
"Seiko Matsuda is here!" "Seiko-chan!!!" "My eternal idol!"
Seiko Matsuda walked down the red carpet arm in arm with Masaki Kanda. Having given birth, she exuded an air of elegance, and her off-the-shoulder evening gown made her appear gentle and charming. Recently, she seems to be heading in the direction of the Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), making her fans, who have grown up, go crazy for her again.
"Saint Son," "Here, here." "..."
As Seiko Matsuda walked, the camera lens circled her almost 360 degrees, capturing her charm completely.
As for Masaki Kanda next to him, he was just an accessory. Everyone knows that the red carpet has always been a battlefield for female celebrities!
However, before the media could ask any more questions, another shout came from the entrance:
"Yukiko Okada is here!!!" "Yukiko-chan, look this way!" "Yukiko-chan, hooray!"
As a successor to Matsuda Seiko and Nakamori Akina in the idol world, Okada Yukiko has always appeared with a sweet and charming idol image. This time, she is still wearing a white dress and white sneakers, looking as pure as a princess living in a fairy tale castle.
After getting out of the car with a smile, he instantly attracted the attention of many reporters, with flashes going off non-stop.
Matsuda Seiko's lips tightened slightly. How dare he steal her thunder?!
However, she quickly managed to force a smile using her strong willpower and business acumen. If she were photographed with a cold expression on the red carpet, it would definitely be sensationalized by the media and newspapers, ruining the image she had worked so hard to cultivate!
She could only continue smiling and waving on the red carpet, but she moved much slower, trying to gain more exposure!
This is the time when celebrities flock to the red carpet, and after Yukiko Okada, another popular idol, Shizuka Kudo, quickly followed.
Today, Shizuka Kudo dressed smartly and refreshingly to maintain her independent style. She was also very enthusiastic, waving and interacting closely with fans and reporters as soon as she got out of the car.
The waiters tried to maintain order and guide the celebrities, but they couldn't stop them!
Kudo Shizuka even took photos with fans! She's so approachable!
However, in that brief moment, seemingly while waving goodbye, something went wrong...
"Smack."
Kudo Shizuka knocked a reporter's microphone away, drawing all the cameras to the scene. Even the reporter himself was somewhat surprised; something like this hadn't happened in years.
"Ah, the private Marseille!"
Shizuka Kudo quickly picked up the microphone and returned it to the reporter.
"Please check if it's broken."
Then, in front of numerous cameras, he sincerely apologized:
"It's all my fault. If it breaks, please contact Tree Friends Agency and I will replace it with a new one."
"Ah, the tape~" The reporter picked it up and tested the sound. "No problem."
"It would be great"
Shizuka Kudo finally relaxed, smiled, waved, and continued walking the red carpet.
It was just a small mistake, but to make such a blunder on the red carpet in front of so many people!
Then the reporters will definitely ditch the generic press releases about what clothes she wore and how charming and elegant she was, and instead highlight this interesting story!
"Ugh, so impulsive." "Still too young." "Not dignified at all."
At this moment, both the celebrities moving on the red carpet and the media taking photos of the red carpet were more or less complaining in their hearts.
Some reporters even decided to expose this scene as a smear campaign against the film festival!
At this moment, Shizuka Kudo's heart was pounding. It wouldn't be easy to knock the microphone out of the reporter's hand in one go. The force, angle, and timing had to be perfect!
The red carpet continues
As the sunlight moved forward, around 10 a.m., the best time of day, celebrities appeared one after another on the red carpet.
"Keiko Matsuzaka is here!" "Next to her is director Kinji Fukasaku!" "Isn't that Kanako Higuchi?" "Takeshi Kitano!" "Hideki Saijo." "..."
The starlight grew even brighter~
At this moment, Chikako Aoyama, who was gaining popularity with "Long Vacation", also arrived at the scene, accompanied by her co-star Masaharu Fukuyama, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations!
You know, this summer, "Long Vacation" swept across Japan, and these two were practically the hottest TV couple!
Chikako Aoyama wore a sexy fishtail dress and sky-high heels today, making her look almost as tall as Masaharu Fukuyama!
With a bright smile on her face, she interacted with many fans after getting out of the car, posing for reporters' cameras and showing off her figure.
At this time, Chikako Aoyama was already a mature actress, and the labels of bold, sexy, and charming had been attached to her. Her future development direction was to become a great beauty in the entertainment industry!
Just as she reached the center of the red carpet, where the media reporters were at their busiest, she let go of Masaharu Fukuyama's arm, hoping to get closer to the reporters!
But at this moment, it seems that the fishtail skirt was too tight, or perhaps the high heels were unstable, or maybe it was a wrinkle on the red carpet.
"Ah~~~"
Chikako Aoyama lost her balance and fell weakly to the spot closest to the camera.
For a moment, he was unable to get up.
"Wow!" "Huh?" "What's wrong? What happened?"
The onlookers gasped in surprise!
Then, in an instant, the clicking of camera shutters increased dramatically!
"Did you put on a bandage?" "Is the fall serious?" "Should we call a doctor?" "Waiter, waiter."
Voices of inquiry came from outside the red carpet barrier, but they couldn't rush in to help; waiters were maintaining order in the distance, while Fukuyama Masaharu, who had been so considerate, was talking to fans on the other side of the red carpet, seemingly unaware of the commotion.
Chikako Aoyama adjusted her posture to get up, which only accentuated the curves of her already impressive figure.
Because of the extreme heels she was wearing, it was quite difficult for her to get up, so her face appropriately revealed a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness.
Finally, after about ten seconds, Masaharu Fukuyama noticed that his female companion had fallen and quickly went over to help her up.
"How's Chikako-chan?"
"Damn it! I'm fine!"
After standing up again, Chikako Aoyama tidied her hair and explained to reporters and fans with a smile.
"I accidentally tripped and fell, how rude of me, hahaha~"
The protagonist's self-deprecating humor made everyone around him laugh, as if it were just an ordinary mistake!
Then they continued their enthusiastic interaction.
Chikako Aoyama continued her tour of the red carpet.
However, falling under the watchful eyes of hundreds of cameras meant her embarrassment was clearly captured on countless rolls of film, destined to appear on the cover of the fastest extra edition!
At this moment, the celebrities walking on the red carpet, as well as their agents on the periphery, were all very observant and aware of what was happening. Of course, everyone saw this scene.
Many artists who see her as a rival are secretly mocking her, thinking, "This Chikako Aoyama is getting too arrogant. Can't she even stand still?"
"Just wait and see her make a fool of herself tomorrow!" "She deserves to be a laughingstock!"
"It seems like all the artists from Tree Friends are getting cocky today!! Making all sorts of mistakes!!"
Despite this minor incident, the red carpet event continued.
As noon approached, almost to the end of the red carpet ceremony, the real headliner finally arrived and was about to make her appearance!
"Jackie Chan!!" "Jackie Chan is here!!"
Jackie Chan, dressed in a white suit, stepped out of the car and nimbly walked along both sides of the red carpet, greeting fans, reporters, and even celebrities!
At that moment, another cheer rang out:
"That's Michael Jackson?!" "What's he doing here?!" "He's having a concert in Japan!"
Michael Jackson, wearing a red sashed leather jacket, walked lightly down the red carpet and waved to those around him.
Michael Jackson's charisma goes without saying; he interacted effortlessly with reporters and fans, appearing energetic and approachable.
After experiencing the enthusiasm of these two international movie stars on the red carpet, cheers immediately erupted from the entrance:
"Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are here!!!"
"They really did appear together!"
"Akina doesn't look pregnant at all!"
At this moment, the couple who stepped out of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur were none other than the incredibly popular Nagayama couple from Japan!
Naoki Nagayama, a well-known director and writer, needs no introduction. Although he is not an entertainer, his fame is in no way inferior to that of celebrities!
His wife, Akina Nakamori, is a top idol in Japan, and recently she has been frequently on newspaper covers due to her performance alongside Michael Jackson and news of her pregnancy. She's definitely a rising star!
Naoki Nagayama, dressed in a black suit, linked arms with Akina, who wore a white dress; the black and white outfits complemented each other perfectly.
He walked the red carpet, smiling and interacting with reporters, and even answered a few questions.
For example:
Will Akina Sauce retire?
"Will not"
How did Akina-chan maintain her figure during her pregnancy?
"It's only been a month, it won't have any impact."
As for Naoki Nagayama's side, it is as follows:
When will the next Jurassic Park movie start filming?
"After the casting for this film festival was completed"
"."
When the two were halfway there, they ran into Michael Jackson, who had slowed down and was waiting, so the three of them took a group photo.
The red carpet walk took at least ten minutes, and when we arrived at the NHK lobby, we ran into Jackie Chan chatting with someone.
"Jackie," "Naoki," and "Akina"
They naturally exchanged very warm greetings, since Jackie Chan's schedule was really tight, with various promotional activities in addition to filming, so he didn't have much time to come to Japan.
Since Michael Jackson happened to be nearby, Naoki Nagayama took the opportunity to introduce him:
"Jackie, this is the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. He's currently having a concert in Tokyo."
"Michael, this is Jackie Chan, a very skilled action actor who knows kung fu!!"
Although Jackie Chan had become a big star, he had not yet made a name for himself in Hollywood and had not yet made "Rush Hour"! At this time, Michael Jackson and Jackie Chan did not know each other, but he nodded slightly to indicate his curiosity after seeing him.
"Kung Fu?" Michael Jackson laughed. "Bruce Lee?"
“Yes,” Naoki Nagayama nodded, “Absolutely amazing!”
Jackie Chan also laughed:
"I once acted opposite Bruce Lee!"
"really?"
"certainly."
The group chatted as they entered the opening ceremony venue. There were still many events to take place after the red carpet!
While almost all media attention was focused on the area in front of the NHK building, a press conference was held almost quietly inside the Diet Building.
However, since the press conference was held by Takeshita Noboru, a senior figure in the Liberal Democratic Party, many media outlets still managed to get a look at him. Major newspapers such as the Yomiuri Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, and Asahi Shimbun certainly wouldn't miss any political news.
Meanwhile, in the room frequently used to announce election results and release news, Takeshita Noboru, along with the seven magistrates of the Takeshita faction and other key members, were waiting for the appointed time.
An employee from "Takeshita-san" came over to ask, "Everything is ready outside."
"Okay, I'll be there right away!"
Once the door closed again, Takeshita Noboru stood up, turned around, and addressed the members of the Takeshita faction:
"Gentlemen, the time has come to burn our bridges! Join me!"
"Hi!" XN
Then a group of Takeshita-affiliated councilors dressed in black suits walked out of the small door and came to the front of the reporters' cameras.
Without much small talk, Takeshita Noboru went straight to the front of the stage and tapped the microphone to test the sound.
"Dear journalists, I am here today regarding the Recruit case from some time ago. I want to fully reveal the hidden truth behind it and give the public an explanation!"
"Starting the year before last, in order to run for parliament and prime minister, I held some appreciation events in hopes of raising some campaign funds. Licourt was among those invited."
"However, I did not expect that my secretary, Aoki Itahira, had accepted an excessive amount of campaign donations without my knowledge. This is a case of my poor judgment in choosing personnel."
"After reviewing the data, the total amount raised from all the fundraising efforts is approximately 2 million yen."
"To demonstrate my stance, I have decided to return all of these campaign funds to Licourt."
"At this time, I, Takeshita Noboru, am withdrawing from the race for Prime Minister. I hope to gain everyone's understanding."
After speaking, Takeshita Noboru bowed deeply, displaying a perfect 90-degree angle, showcasing his incredibly skilled traditional art to everyone!
After a series of clicks and flashes, Takeshita Noboru continued:
"Furthermore, so many people within the Liberal Democratic Party have unknowingly been bribed by Recruit."
"This party has lost its original aspiration to serve the people and is now filled with gloom."
"In view of this, I, Takeshita Noboru, and my colleagues who share the same stance, have made a decision."
Takeshita Toshiro waved his hand, and Takeshita Shichibugyō and the rest of the Takeshita faction stood up.
"Starting today, I am withdrawing from the Liberal Democratic Party!!!"
Aren't you, the rest of the Liberal Democratic Party, trying to make me take the blame? Aren't you trying to distance yourselves from me?! Aren't you going to abandon us at a time like this?!
Okay, then I'm not playing with you guys anymore!!!
"We will work as independent members for the time being, and look for the right opportunity to join another party or form a new party."
"From today onwards, my Takeshita faction is severing ties with the Liberal Democratic Party!"
