"Ms. Naomi is going back when the shooting is over!"
In late February, Naomi Watanabe (33), who had finished her performance, appeared in the parking lot, and the people around her suddenly got busy. A woman put her luggage on the co-driver of a white Porsche 911carrera 4s cabriolet, and another man started the car. Watanabe, wearing a smiley pink sweatshirt and blue jeans, tucked his body into the driver's seat with a little difficulty, grabbed the steering wheel and drove away.
Some time ago, Watanabe announced that she would graduate from all the regular shows in April, moving her event location to the United States, and now she is an international artist.
Her official Instagram account has 9.38 million followers, ranking first among domestic artists, and in 2017, the official YouTube channel of the AMERICAN version of "vogue" fashion magazine also submitted a video of Watanabe makeup, and her fashion taste has attracted global attention.
In addition, in July last year, Watanabe uploaded a video of "rain on me" made with Yuriyan Retrieve (Yoshida Yuri, 30 years old) on his official youtube "naomi club", which was remade with two people, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. The film also got Gaga's "love this !!!" posted on Twitter. Recognition has also caused a topic in the United States.
An entertainment reporter explained, "The American agency 'icm partners' signed by Watanabe this time, which is also the agency of Beyoncé, is the same as the largest agency in the sports and star world ' img' belonging to the women's tennis player Naomi Osaka. Her trip to the United States had the best conditions that no Japanese artist had ever been able to match, and it was a confident attempt. ”
She already has a foothold in New York, where she is said to have bought an apartment 2 years ago.
The average price of an apartment in Manhattan is as low as $1 million (about 180 million yen). Naomi said that she 'paid half in cash and bought the remaining half with a loan', and it is not surprising that she lives in a house that is more than 10 times the size of her status. After all, her SNS-related income alone is 40 million yuan (Japanese) a year, plus a variety of jobs, and her annual income is about 100 million (yen). (Ibid., Entertainment Reporter)
"It doesn't hurt to smile!" Watanabe said that all of her acting activities in Japan so far have been the same as the plan, as she wished, and now she has set a goal, "I will star in a Hollywood comedy before the age of 40, and I want to create a career worthy of praise." ”
Although artist Dave Spector said that "in Hollywood, Japanese people whose mother tongue is not English will be difficult", Watanabe's strongest skill is verbal imitation. "The first is to flexibly use your strengths and influence in the fashion industry to continuously accumulate results." Once you have mastered the English you are learning, you will have to challenge yourself to become a comedian like Eddie Murphy who can star in movies. (Ibid., Entertainment Reporter)
Although in baseball, tennis, basketball and other sports, Japan has emerged a number of outstanding talents who have been successful in the United States, but when it comes to actors, it is still only Ken Watanabe (61 years old). We look forward to Watanabe becoming the first person to achieve worldwide success in comedy. (Cang Yu /Translation)
