I'm surrounded by women.

After all, in Japan, a high school diploma is enough.

If that doesn't work out, you can still go to a technical college for a few years.

If children from ordinary families want to support a family and bear all financial expenses after graduating from college, they will indeed study hard in middle school just to be able to get into a better university and work in a less unscrupulous company after graduation.

If you are lucky, you might even be able to become an employee of the Izumi Group and work for the Izumi family from then on.

Just like many Korean students want to work for Samsung after graduation.

In Japan, that means Japanese students who want to work for the Izumi Foundation after graduating from university.

Although the work pressure is high and overtime is a daily routine, if you want to move up, you need to be prepared for a fierce struggle at all times, but the welfare benefits of the Izumi Group are really good.

After all, the Izumi Group's business scope has monopolized the birth, adulthood and death of the Japanese.

Koreans cannot live without Samsung, and Japanese cannot live without the Izumi Group.

Katori Genzakura also knew very well that the Katori family, which came from a gangster family, could achieve its current achievements and status thanks to the overt and covert support of the Izumi family over the years.

When many international media mention Japanese zaibatsu, they are still referring to the three largest zaibatsu in Japan.

But in fact, ever since the eldest daughter of the Izumi family, Izumi Kotomi, and the eldest daughter of the Sakayanagi family, Sakayanagi Arisu, officially got married.

Japan's three major zaibatsu gradually became the only zaibatsu - the Izumi family.

At that time, the Katori family was just an insignificant branch of a mafia family.

When she was a child, Katori Gensakura thought her grandfather Katori Ryuin was a very serious person, but when she saw how humble her always serious grandfather was in front of the Izumi family, she understood how terrifying the Izumi family was.

Because of this, to this day, Katori Genzakura still feels a little incredible about her encounter with Izumi Kotomi that day.

Moreover, after knowing that Izumi Kotomi was a friend of Bai Cangjian during his lifetime, Katori Genzakura's first reaction was that Izumi Kotomi was joking.

When Katori Genzakura and Bundate Mie arrived at the designated shooting location, they found that the program crew was almost finishing their preparations.

And I, Koizumi Kyo, was sitting on a swing not far away, holding a loudspeaker in my hand and directing everyone present.

"One last check to see if all the cameras are ready.

Ready, right? Okay, great. The crew begins their rest stop. Drink water if you need to, eat if you need to, but remember to go to the restroom in time so as not to affect the filming progress.

The makeup team is here, right? Okay, now the RV is yours to use. When Yuan Ying and the others arrive, quickly put on their makeup and styling."

After I finished speaking, Koizumi Kyo temporarily put down the loudspeaker in his hand, picked up the mineral water, and drank a few gulps.

At this time, Katori Genzakura and Bundate Mie walked into the set. The staff naturally stopped their work and greeted them respectfully:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Katori. Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Bunkan."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Facing everyone's greetings, Katori Genzakura handled them with ease, with a perfect smile always on her lips.

Chapter 197 Group Pet

I saw Katori Genzakura coming towards me, and I whistled like a gangster:

"Oh, our maknae is here."

Koizumi Kyoga, who grew up in South Korea and even worked as a director and producer in the Korean entertainment industry for a while, subconsciously retains some of his Korean habits in terms of behavior and address.

The title of "Maknae" simply refers to the youngest member of an idol group. The member generally known as the "Maknae" is the adorable member of the group and also the group's favorite.

Although "Tachibana Love" can't be called an idol group, but when they had a dinner together after filming last time, they told each other their ages and it turned out that the youngest person was really Katori Genzakura.

So, Koizumi Kyogo, who was used to living in Korea, unconsciously started calling Katori Genzakura: our youngest member.

"But aren't the maknaes usually the group's favorites? I don't think my current status in the production team can be called the group's favorite."

Katori Genzakura said this half-jokingly, and at the same time felt a little dazed in her heart. When she became famous as a voice actor in her previous life, she could no longer be called the maknae. When she became a senior in the voice actor industry, she would no longer be treated as the maknae.

I didn't expect that after my rebirth, I would still be regarded as the youngest. Katori Gensakura had never experienced such a feeling before.

"Ayiko, what's wrong with our Genying? Is she unhappy? I take care of you so much, doesn't that mean I treat you as the darling of the group?" Koizumi Kyo I smiled and rubbed Katori Genying's hair.

"Who would let the youngest member work overtime?" said Katori Gensakura.

Although Katori Genzakura has no objection to helping Koizumi Kyoga shoot a few extras on school days, Mondays and Fridays, it is precisely because of her good relationship with Koizumi Kyoga that Katori Genzakura feels it necessary to remind Koizumi Kyoga to try not to trouble the other actor guests participating in the filming of "Tachibana Love" like she did today.

It’s not that doing so might delay the studies of other guests. To put it bluntly, even if these highly skilled artists are not that bad at studying, their future plans will not have much to do with studying hard.

The voice actor circle is relatively okay, but the entertainment industry is very youth-dependent. For artists who debuted as high school students, the few years in school are also the most precious golden years for their acting career. If such beautiful years are wasted on studying, it would really be a waste for high school students who want to become artists.

Therefore, when an artist agency meets a new talent who wants to be promoted, they usually have a meeting with the artist first, and then a three-party meeting with the artist's parents or family elders.

The purpose of the meeting is not to encourage students to study. The entertainment agency is not so pushy as to be such a pushover. They just want to confirm the future debut plan with the artists and their parents.

If they still want to prioritize their studies, they'll try to stagger their schedule from Monday to Friday, scheduling all their appointments on Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sundays. But if the artist attends a six-day-a-week school, then, unfortunately, they'll have to start their schedule right after school on Saturday afternoon. Saturdays typically last from after school until 11 p.m., and they'll have to wake up before a.m. on Sunday to start a full day of nonstop work.

But if you don't want to focus on your studies, then it's easy. You can either ask the school for a long leave or drop out of school. If there is a need, the entertainment agency will also help to water down the artist's academic qualifications after he or she turns 18.

Katori Gensakura just happened to know a girl band that had signed a contract with a music company and was quite popular. It was said that the entire group of members of that girl band couldn't even produce a high school diploma.

However, Katori Gensakura didn't see anything wrong with this, as she was well aware that she wasn't a student in either her previous or current life. Her science grades were at the level of a book-burning burial ground for scholars, and she was only slightly proficient in English. Katori Gensakura still remembered that in her previous life, at the voice acting company she signed with, she had the lowest academic qualifications of any member of the company!

Back to the point, even if filming during school hours wouldn't necessarily affect the other guests' studies, and they probably wouldn't complain, but Katori Genzakura knew very well that if Koizumi Kyo made impromptu filming a habit, it would likely backfire.

As a senior in the voice acting industry, Katori Gensakura has always felt that fame always comes second, and the first priority is always how to survive in the voice acting industry for a long time.

An actor who worked very hard to become famous once said, "When you become famous, you find yourself surrounded by good people."

Katori Gensakura also felt deeply touched by this sentence. In her previous life, when Kurosawa Sakura just debuted as a voice actor, because she was still a new voice actor with few works, the only thing she could earn every month was the pitiful basic salary given by the voice actor company. The rent in big cities is very expensive, and the newcomers in the voice actor company's dormitory can only live there for a maximum of three months. After paying the rent every month, let alone daily expenses, even eating became a problem.

At that time, the company would not give a new employee too much meal allowance, at most 20 yuan a day.

Faced with dreams that cannot be realized immediately and the reality of the daily necessities of life.

Katori Genzakura, or Kurosawa Sakura, in such a situation, finally chose to become a mother, and sold her body to wealthy women in big cities at a fixed price.

There were countless nights when Kurosawa Sakura would quickly drink a few bottles of energy drinks after finishing her work, run back to the rental house, take a quick shower, put on clothes that her "mother" liked according to her "mother's" requirements, put on a mask, put the necessary items into her small handbag, and then take the subway to the agreed location.

No matter how exhausted I was, I would cheer myself up the moment I stepped out of the subway station. Then, upon seeing the "mom" who sold me, I would enthusiastically run over, hug her and act like a spoiled child. Then, I would accompany her to dinner, a movie, and finally, a hotel.

Of course, sometimes I also accompany "Mom" to those private movie theaters.

On the first day that Kurosawa Sakura started working as a mother, she met a "mother" who was very beautiful but had an extremely bad personality. She was very generous with her money and even kept Kurosawa Sakura as her mistress after the first night.

However, after being kept by "Mom", Kurosawa Sakura also experienced what it felt like to have her dignity shattered into pieces. On the bed in the hotel, "Mom" opened a bottle of expensive red wine as if she were opening a bottle of soda, then pinched Kurosawa Sakura's neck and forced her to drink it all.

That was Kurosawa Sakura's first time drinking alcohol, and 'Mom' knew it, but that was precisely why she wanted to force Kurosawa Sakura to drink. She really wanted to see the filthy appearance of Kurosawa Sakura after being forced to drink until she vomited and lost consciousness.

When Kurosawa Sakura woke up the next day, she found that her "mother" had already left, and the agreed generous reward was placed on the bedside table. But after carefully putting the reward away, Kurosawa Sakura accidentally saw herself without dignity through the mirror. At that moment, she had only one impulse, which was to jump off the roof and end it all.

At that time, Kurosawa Sakura thought that there was no good person in this big city, but after gradually becoming famous, Kurosawa Sakura found that everyone around her seemed to become very friendly.

She used to think that there was no good person in this city, but after becoming famous, Kurosawa Sakura found that it seemed that there were only good people around her.

And when I first arrived in the big city, I was confused and helpless and chose to live the life of a mother, and it was the "mother" who kept me.

When Kurosawa Sakura made her first television appearance, her "Mom" took the initiative to end their abnormal relationship, and the two of them never contacted each other again. But like the traces left by time, when the connection between the two was completely severed, Kurosawa Sakura realized that deep down she actually longed to be treated in bed by her "Mom" in a way that was close to humiliation.

After becoming famous, you will be surrounded by good people, but at the same time, if your popularity gradually fades, the good people around you will gradually disappear.

No matter if you are a voice actor, an artist, or a director, when you are popular, everyone likes to praise you, but once you accidentally fail, you will have to bear the situation of being pushed down by everyone.

Although Koizumi Kyoga's behavior this time can be described as asking the guests to work overtime, to be frank, even if no one expressed objection, there would be people thinking in their hearts, "If it weren't for Koizumi Kyoga being the director, I wouldn't have agreed so readily."

This thought may seem like a fleeting thought, but in fact, as long as my collaboration with Koizumi Kyoga continues, this thought will gradually spread without me noticing.

If one day, Koizumi Kyogi accidentally gets into trouble because of an incident or a statement, then such thoughts will suddenly burst out, prompting those who were already dissatisfied with Koizumi Kyogi to add insult to injury.

Koizumi Kyo I looked at Katori Genzakura's expression and smiled slightly. Koizumi Kyo I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Even if Katori Genzakura didn't say anything, she could understand Katori Genzakura's inner thoughts. So she put her arm around Katori Genzakura's shoulders and said with a smile:

"Our Yuan Ying is so thoughtful. But don't worry, I've been a director for many years. I've had to ask guests on the show to work overtime for various reasons. As long as the guests agree, I owe them a favor, and I will naturally find an opportunity to repay them in full. This way, I owe you a favor, and you owe me a favor. Isn't it enough to support the operation of this industry?"
