Chapter 546: The Spiritual Guide of the King of Arrogance in the Future of Japanese Entertainment

When is a man's sexual charm at its peak? Opinions may vary—but there is no doubt that Zhou Yi at this very moment is the object countless female fans most want to pull into their arms and ruthlessly trample.

His wet hair still dripped continuously; the pure white T-shirt, under the effect of the water droplets, faintly revealed his thick pectoral muscles and abs, a glimpse that only made people scream louder.

"I don't speak Japanese, so I will try to speak English a bit slower, trying to make sure everyone can hear clearly."

"It's fine, we won't complain if you're fast!"

Under the fervent atmosphere, Japanese female fans liberated their nature and professed their love one after another; the few Chinese female fans who managed to get tickets, once they realized the situation, shouted that they couldn't lose—

You see, when Chinese singers hold fan meetings in Japan, such as Li Ming, Guo Fucheng, or Liu Dehua, the attendees are mostly compatriots. But Zhou Yi is different; a massive number of Japanese fans snatched up tickets, directly causing Zhou Yi's current fan meeting to become the most truly Japanese fan meeting in name and reality—

Japanese people accounted for at least 90%.

To save face, a fiery Taiwanese sister stepped up, waving her short-sleeved shirt and pointing at her gathered, substantial assets, shouting loudly: "Zhou Yi! How about we do it again? I won't mind!"

In these days, most Chinese people living or studying in Japan come from Taiwan.

When Zhou Yi first debuted, he could still promote in Taiwan, which is why that now-out-of-print famous scene was left behind, still talked about with relish by many fans to this day; this clip even went global along with Zhou Yi's worldwide explosion—

When the BBC reported on the Zhou Yi phenomenon, they even mentioned it, but only to highlight Zhou Yi's "ugly" face at the time.

"Of course, but I feel I might not be able to satisfy so many people in the venue; I understand the principle that the problem is not scarcity but inequality."

Zhou Yi smiled and pointed at her in response; after replying in Chinese, he switched to English to simply explain to the Japanese fans what had happened and what was said, and the unwilling Japanese female fans immediately pushed for the one with the bigger chest to go first—

There were even muscular male fans who had trained for years, showing off their developed pectoral muscles to cause trouble.

For a moment, the theater was filled with a lively atmosphere.

"OK, so next, it will be the turn of the lucky ones."

Without a host, Zhou Yi, who controlled the venue's rhythm entirely on his own, effortlessly held the emotions of all the fans in the palm of his hand: "I will randomly select five fans from the venue, one by one, to come on stage and sing a duet with me.

"Of course, you can also use this opportunity to introduce yourselves well..."

When Zhou Yi mentioned this, the eyes of many fans in the audience, who also worked part-time as models, underground singers, and other professions, immediately lit up.

The Japanese entertainment industry is a very competitive place; this is reflected to the fullest in the modeling industry, where a huge reserve force has driven appearance fees down to cabbage prices, and even junior high school students can start earning money by appearing in newspapers.

Under these circumstances, whoever has a unique memory point can earn more money.

In the audience, after the excitement dissipated, Arakaki Yui, who was shyly putting her clothes back on, couldn't help but brighten up at the words; the senior beside her even let out a scream, constantly shouting in English—

"Pick me, pick me!"

Unfortunately, during the first round of random light selection, neither of them was chosen—three women and two men went on stage one by one to introduce themselves and then sing a duet with Zhou Yi.

They even received blessing messages written by Zhou Yi himself on their clothes or notebooks.

"Uh, hello Zhou Yi Jun, my name is Sato Tomohiro, I am 19 years old, currently studying Environmental Information at Keio University in Japan. I also like football very much, and I am currently working part-time as a model under the introduction of a senior."

When the last selected boy went on stage, he, suppressing his excited feelings, introduced himself to Zhou Yi: "It was your songs that helped me get through the low point of my leg injury; if it weren't for the encouragement you gave me, I would probably have already lost my will..."

Zhou Yi originally thought the person looked familiar; after such a self-introduction, the image instantly merged with that of the biggest "King of Arrogance" in the Japanese entertainment circle after the millennium in his memory.

Sato Tomohiro, stage name Mizushima Hiro, the most audacious male actor in the Japanese entertainment circle after entering the new century, without a single exception.

As a football specialist, Mizushima Hiro's talent in football sports was, at the very least, among the top tier in Japanese school football up until high school.

In junior high, as a starter, he led the team through victories and defeats, finally winning the runner-up spot in the Japanese National Tournament;

In high school, he appeared as a starting midfielder in the 81st National High School Football Tournament; although he lost to Nagasaki Prefectural Kunimi High School in the semi-finals and stopped at the top four, his overflowing talent and outstanding results earned him the favor of Keio University, a top Japanese institution.

Unfortunately, as soon as he entered university, he was crippled—no one knows to this day whether it was intentional or accidental malicious confrontation that ended his football journey with a period.

The severe leg injury directly ruined his future.

Later, because his looks indeed fit the handsome flower boy style, he became a part-time model under the recommendation of a senior, thus stepping half a foot into the Japanese entertainment circle.

He officially debuted as an actor in 2005, and in 2006, he became famous throughout Japan with the tokusatsu drama "Kamen Rider Kabuto"; in the following three years, he became the hottest rising star in the entire Japanese entertainment circle with multiple blockbuster Japanese dramas and movies—

At his peak, even Sato Ken, who was also a super new star, had to play a supporting role for him.

Unfortunately, all that beauty came to an abrupt end in 2009.

That year, Mizushima Hiro, who was at Ken-On Agency, disregarded pressure from the company, capital, and even the industry circle, and directly announced his marriage with the company's top female singer, Ayaka, who was also the Japanese Warner money tree personally cultivated by Yoshida Kei—

This was done before the fact; not a single person at Japanese Warner or Ken-On Agency knew beforehand.

The reason was "merely" that Ayaka had fallen ill due to long-term exhaustion; he felt that as a husband, he should shoulder this responsibility, announcing the marriage to let his wife rest and recover, while simultaneously pressuring the company, openly and covertly attacking them for assigning too much work to his wife, which led to her illness.

This was undoubtedly challenging the survival rules of the entire Japanese entertainment circle with his own strength.

The name of the previous male idol who dared to publicly announce his marriage was Kimura Takuya, but he at least notified the company and those around him, and hadn't attacked anyone. But Mizushima Hiro did not; he directly overturned the unwritten rules, showing no fear of being blacklisted.

From then on, the brilliant star paths of the couple came to an abrupt end.

But just as Ken-On Agency thought it had won a great victory and taught the disobedient top star a lesson, the blacklisted Mizushima Hiro took a different path; he stopped acting and started writing, and in one fell swoop won the first prize of the Japanese Poplar Publishing House Award, which had been vacant for three years, with a prize money of twenty million yen, shaking all of Japan.

Thus, Mizushima Hiro returned to the entertainment circle in a way Ken-On Agency had never expected, directly living himself into an extremely rare "King of Arrogance" in the Japanese entertainment industry, while the young couple lived a very flavorful life.

"I really like the song 'Something Just Like This'; can I sing a duet with you?"

Born in 1984, Sato Tomohiro, only 19 years old this year, was not yet the manly man Mizushima Hiro who would later be so spirited that he dared to challenge one of Japan's largest agencies with his talent; currently, he was still a college student just walking out of the low point of injury, and the look in his eyes toward Zhou Yi was full of admiration and hope—

"I really like your attitude of not fearing difficulties and not fearing authority; you have given me so much encouragement..."

The more Sato Tomohiro spoke, the more excited he became; his infectious narration even made many people in the audience who had also been encouraged by Zhou Yi's songs feel the same, such as Arakaki Yui.

"Of course, no problem."

Zhou Yi, with a smiling face on his, was actually murmuring in his heart—

When Mizushima Hiro challenges Ken-On Agency in the future, he won't say he was inspired by me, will he?

Not to mention Ken-On Agency, Yoshida Kei, the boss of Japanese Warner, would be furious—

Oh, Yoshida Kei seems to have committed suicide by hanging himself at home due to depression in 2010...

Huh? Wait a second...

Could Yoshida Kei's depression also be partly caused by you, kid in the future? Stealing away the diva Ayaka, whom he had painstakingly cultivated, to rest, causing Japanese Warner to lose its anchor, leading Yoshida Kei to finally be crushed by performance pressure?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi felt somewhat strange in his heart.

After finishing the duet, Zhou Yi, with the mood of watching a show, wrote a blessing saying "Wish Sato Jun becomes famous throughout half the sky in the future" with a big stroke of his pen, and then Sato Tomohiro went off stage happily.
