Chapter 24 Dreams and Reality

Luo Quan's eyes widened: "Did I hear you right? You want to be an idol?"

Junko Yagyu nodded: "Yes, this is my dream since I was very young. I remember I told you?"

"I thought you were joking." Luo Quan sighed, "I finally know why your grandfather scolded you. He chose to become an idol instead of studying at the University of Tokyo. Isn't this a crooked way?"

"I don't want to hear what you are saying." Wen Xia put her hands on her waist and said with a serious expression: "Idol is not a crooked thing. It is an idol that can satisfy the spiritual needs of young people and girls, maintain social stability, and promote economic development. As a serious career, the idol career in the three major Asian countries is now in full swing, and the prospects are very bright. There is nothing wrong with being an idol.

Moreover, Junko looks so cute. In the Japanese market, she is considered a high-quality newcomer who can debut on the spot. She can become popular with a little exposure! "

Junko Yagyu said softly: "Actually... I want to go to Korea and become an idol."

"Ah?" Wen Xia was surprised, "The Korean idol market is so fierce, why are you going there?"

Junko Yagyu said seriously: "It's because it's intense, so I want to go there to prove myself. Besides, I can't accept many things in the Japanese idol industry, so I want to change the environment."

Wen Xia frowned and said: "Developing in Korea requires extremely strong strength. You are probably eighteen years old now, and you are a bit older among the trainees."

Junko Yagyu said excitedly: "I am not unprepared at all. I can dance and have also practiced singing!"

"Then you jump and let me see." Wen Xia said and stepped back, and Luo Quan also quickly leaned against the wall, making a not too big space for Yagyu Junko.

There is a dance in Japan called Butoh. It was created in the 1960s by combining Eastern and Western dances due to the "de-Westernization" movement in Japan.

Luo Quan has seen this kind of dance on TV several times. It is very weird, with a dark, twisted and desperate beauty, which is very consistent with Japan's local characteristics.

However, Luo Quan couldn't see the beauty of this kind of dance. Instead, he found it eerie and terrifying. He had nightmares for several nights after watching it.

Originally, she thought that the dance Junko Yagyu was talking about was dancing. After all, in her impression, Junko Yagyu was a relatively traditional Japanese girl, and she would definitely learn some of this national art.

However, what surprised Luo Quan was that after Junko Yagyu rolled up the hem of the long skirt to her thighs and fixed it with clips, she actually performed a jazz dance for her and Wen Xia.

Although there is no musical accompaniment, it does not affect Junko Yagyu's performance. Her waist and hips are twisted very dynamically, and the swing of her hands and the alternation of steps are unusually coordinated. The only flaw is that her movements are not crisp enough, which makes her look a little bit... Soft and soft.

After a dance, Junko Yagyu put down her skirt, crossed her hands on her stomach, and stared at Wen Xia with an anxious look.

Luo Quan said in surprise: "Junzi, when did you learn to dance? Why have I never seen you dance before?!"

Junko Yagyu said shyly: "I learned it from the dance class where I secretly held her, and no one told anyone."

"Your dance... I can only give it a four-point rating." Wen Xia commented with a serious expression.

Luo Quan smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just two points away from passing the exam."

"Ten points is the minimum standard for debut." Wen Xia's words caused the entire room to fall into silence.

With a look of defeat on her face, Yagyu Junko slowly fell to the ground: "My level is indeed far from enough."

Luo Quan questioned: "Wen Xia, you are too strict. Even if Junko's dance is not much worse than that of domestic trainees, why is it only four points?"

Wen Xia shook his head and said: "You know it's in China, but Junko wants to develop in South Korea. In South Korea, dancing at this level is really not outstanding."

Luo Quan glanced at the disappointed Junko Yagyu and encouraged: "Then Junko, sing another song. If you sing well, you will definitely gain a lot of points."

"Okay!" Junko Yagyu clenched her fists, stood up and played the music accompaniment on her mobile phone, which was Luo Quan's Lemon.

It's a pity that Junko Yagyu's singing is not even as good as her dancing. Apart from the fact that the song is not out of tune, there is basically nothing worthy of praise.

Wen Xia didn't say anything, but just glanced at Luo Quan, meaning that you are more professional than me, so I will let you be the bad guy.

Looking at Junzi's expectant eyes, Luo Quan scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Well... Junzi, you have found the tune accurately, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in your singing skills, and you need to work harder."

A large room for improvement means that the level is too low. Junko Yagyu still understands this subtext.

However, she was actually mentally prepared. Although she was sad at this time, she still showed a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will work harder to practice my dancing and singing skills. It is my dream to debut as an idol, and I will never give up easily." of!"

Wen Xia shook his head and sighed: "I don't want to pour cold water on you, but I'm afraid the possibility of you debuting in Korea is not very high.

Although you are only eighteen years old, you are already relatively older among the trainees. It will take at least two or three more years to reach the standard of debuting. The older you are, the less likely you are to debut. Besides, over there The competition is so fierce, the possibility of becoming popular is very slim. "

Yagyu Junko said distressedly: "Then...then what should I do?"

"Actually, there is no need for you to hang yourself on a tree. You might have good prospects for development in another place." Wen Xia smiled like a fox at this moment.

"How to change?" Yagyu Junko was unprepared and was walking step by step towards the trap Wen Xia had set.

Wen Xia smiled and said: "For example, you can debut in China! The competition there is not as fierce as South Korea, but the market is broader than Japan, and the status of artists is quite high, and their income is the highest among the three countries. You can definitely go there China goes to be an idol!

If you are interested, I can teach you dancing during this time, and Luo Quan can also teach you singing skills. Your singing and dancing skills will definitely be greatly improved in a short period of time. "

"Really!" Junko Yagyu stood up excitedly.

"I just don't know how you speak Mandarin? If you want to make your debut in China, Mandarin is very important."

Junko Yagyu said in Mandarin: "The foreign language I minored in college was Chinese, and I also learned a lot from Izumi-chan when I was in high school. There is not much problem in daily communication, but the accent is a bit..."

Wen Xia nodded: "This level is already very good. As long as you speak more, accent won't be a big problem."

Chinese language is recognized by UNESCO as one of the most difficult languages ​​to learn. Although Japanese characters are derived from Chinese characters, the pronunciation is very different. Many Japanese people cannot distinguish between flat tongue and front and back nasal sounds, while Junko Yagyu He has done a very good job in this aspect, and given time, it will not be difficult to speak Mandarin fluently.

"Because my affairs have caused so much trouble to you, please take care of me in the future!" Junko Yagyu knelt down in front of Wen Xia with a bang, making her jump up immediately in fright.

"What are you doing? You don't need to give me such a big gift to thank me!" Wen Xia quickly helped Yagyu Junko up.

But Junko Yagyu didn't think anything of it. Kneeling down is actually a very common etiquette in Japan, and is usually used to apologize or express respect for others.

There was a commotion here, and Luo Quan's cell phone rang again.

Wen Xia looked over curiously: "Don't you have another good friend coming to see you?"

"I only have a friend in Japan, Junko." Luo Quan picked up the phone and frowned slightly: "It's my mother."

"Ah... Aunt Luo!" Wen Xia was surprised and happy.

"Hello, mom?"

"My dear daughter, my mother has finally contacted you. How are you doing alone these days? You must have spent all your pocket money. It's all because your mother left in such a hurry, and the signal on the island is not good. Mom is waiting. I’ll get the money back to you soon!”

Hearing his mother's apologetic words, Luo Quan smiled and said, "No need, your daughter and I have made a lot of money now."

"What big money?" Luo Quan's mother was stunned for a moment.

"I debuted as a singer, and now my records are selling like hotcakes. I will be able to buy a house in Tokyo soon!"

"Really?!" Luo Quan's mother made a surprised sound, "My daughter is so good at everything she does. She is so proud of her."

"Don't talk about me yet, mom, how are you on the island? Have you found dad?"

Luo Quan's mother suddenly lowered her voice: "I found it. I found a house near where your father lives. I can see him walking the dog every morning. He is still as handsome as before~~~"

"Oh my god..." Luo Quan's native dialect was spoken in a hurry, "Why are you acting like a nympho? When you find someone, you just come to the door. What's the point of hiding and peeping every day like a nympho?"

Luo Quan's mother's voice became a little deeper: "I...I'm afraid that he will run away like he did before..."

"Mom, listen to my advice. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. There will be no results if you hide like this."

"Then I'll go find your father tomorrow!"

"Well, no matter what happens, my daughter, I will never abandon you. I wish you success!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Junko Yagyu and Wen Xia both knew about Luo Quan's life experience. They probably knew what was going on when they heard the mother and daughter talking nearby, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Just like that, Luo Quan had another resident in her crowded house. The increasingly compressed living space had made her look for a larger apartment.
