I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 151 Saito Asuka
Actually?It's him!
Atsuko Maeda did not expect that Fujii Shu, who was still fighting in the arena two days ago, would meet in the show and perform with her.

"Let me introduce to you, Fujii Shu, the actor who plays the samurai. I'm so handsome that I'm so jealous."

Ken Shimura, who has a good emotional intelligence, knew that he could replay a Shimura Hilarious episode so suddenly. Fujii Ki's background is not so deep, so he took the initiative to recommend it.

"Hello Shimura-sensei, hello everyone, I've been practicing for two and a half years...haha, I'm an amateur Fujii, and I'm here to promote the kendo competition."

Fujii thought he was humorous and wanted to play tricks, but found that everyone was not cold, so he came back and introduced himself honestly.

"Then let's record it first and see the effect."

Ken Shimura nodded, and started recording for the first time on the set up stage.

"Crack!"

As the scene was played, Atsuko Maeda and Asuka Saito appeared in the camera in filial piety clothes, one graceful and the other gentle.

"Are you a samurai named Yamahara?"

They asked in unison to Fujii who was sitting and drinking tea outside the tavern of the setting house, trying hard to make an expression of bitterness and hatred. Atsuko Maeda was qualified, but Saito Asuka stared at Fujii in a daze. The tree's face was obviously out of play.

The program supervisor didn't stop, intending to let them go through the plot flow first.

"Hi! This is Yamabara."

Fujii Ki, who played the role in his true colors, didn't need any acting skills, so he stood up and asked.

"What's matter?"

"You killed our father... Toyama clan before."

Atsuko Maeda had forgotten some words, and she paused for a moment before remembering her name.

"I see, there is such a thing."

Fujii resisted the desire to look at the close-up camera lens, and said according to the lines.

"Draw your sword! Avenge your father!"

The two women pulled out the short knives in their hands at the same time, and faced Fujii with the long knives around his waist.

"Hmph! The two women are not my opponents."

Fujii tree snorted coldly, drew out his long knife, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Hey, hey, it's not a man's job to draw a knife to a woman."

The blind swordsman Zatoichi with a cane and sword appeared, played by Ken Shimura, whose acting skills are obviously more natural than others.

"Leave it to me, girls."

Shimura Ken fully performed the essence of Zatoichi, with his legs tied with the bandages commonly used by people who travel far, and his head covered with a one-inch hair hood. His eyes seemed to be half-open, and he held the stick in his hand in front of the Fujii tree after drawing the sword. sword.

In fact, it’s okay to let me, who knows how to cut a character, play Zatoichi, right?
Fujii made complaints in his heart, trying to show fear on his face. According to the setting, a ronin swordsman like Zatoichi must crush ordinary samurai.

After Fujii retreated a few steps, Shimura Ken who stepped forward pretended not to see the stone on the ground, and was tripped to the ground. When he got up, Fujii stepped forward and chopped off with a prop sword.

"Ahhh!" Shimura Ken covered his chest, and said to the two girls next to him, "This man is too strong, please come on."

After finishing speaking, he fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.

"Or, forget it this time?"

Fujii almost laughed, but Shimura Ken's actions were exaggerated enough, and he spoke his lines sideways to the camera.

"Well, that's fine."

Maeda Atsuko said hesitantly.

"Goodbye, see you next time."

Saito Asuka took a step forward and waved at Fujii, trying to impress him.

After the greeting was finished, the shooting ended. Fujii tree helped Shimura Ken who was on the ground.

"That knife just now was really fast! I almost didn't realize it when I swiped the ground."

Ken Shimura lamented Fujii's shooting speed, this time he definitely couldn't pass it, and they took more than a dozen shots before meeting the screening requirements.

Then I filmed another episode with a different ending. It was already past four o’clock in the afternoon, and there was more than an hour left to shoot the promotional content of the Kendo Contest, that is, everyone sat around in the set up Japanese-style room and chatted with each other. Kendo competition, Shimura Ken's program has always had this tradition.

Sitting around the kotatsu table in the Japanese room, opposite Fujii are two women, Maeda Atsuko and Saito Asuka, and the main seat is Shimura Ken. They haven’t changed their costumes, Fujii is still dressed as a samurai, with a long sword by his side , sitting upright.

"Fujii-kun seems to be participating in the Tokyo local kendo competition recently, right? It's the fifth round."

Ken Shimura, who had done his homework beforehand, brought up the topic.

"Yes, there are many masters, and it is very challenging."

There was no script for this small chat, and Fujii responded accordingly.

"When you participated in the national high school football competition two years ago, I went to watch you play. At that time, the tickets for the final were not easy to buy. Why did you suddenly change the kendo event now?"

Shimura Ken went on talking, ignoring the two girls next to him.

"Because I prefer to challenge new things, football is like this, so is kendo, and kendo can also strengthen the body."

Fujii tree turned his head towards Atsuko Maeda and said.

"Just like Ms. Maeda Atsuko, after graduating from an idol, she turned to become an actor. Isn't it a new challenge?"

Hey, are you talking about me?
Maeda Atsuko couldn't react for a while, she was already conscious of being a vase.

"Hi! But my career as an actor is not as brilliant as Fujii-kun, so it's fine if I can keep going."

She said modestly that although she has already won the highest award in Japanese film, the status of female artists is lower after all. Shimura Ken is an evergreen tree in Japanese variety shows, and his qualifications and abilities are all here. For Fujii, She has a different idea, and she seems very cautious, as if she has returned to the idol era.

As for Saito Asuka next to him, he couldn't talk to the seniors, and just secretly looked at Fujii's face, a little shy.

After some more detailed discussions, this special program finally ended. Fujii took the envelope handed over by the staff, opened it and glanced at it. Inside was his 20 yen reward.

Is it only [-] yen?
Saito Asuka, who also got the envelope, sighed. She is considered famous now, but the performance fee of the last show was not high. People who are not good at anything will become Heisei idols, instead of having a higher status like Yuanzu idols in the Showa period.

About 15 yen, not bad.

Atsuko Maeda also looked at the thickness of the envelope. An experienced senior like her can measure an approximate number with a pinch of her fingers, with very little error.

"After work, do you want to drink? I treat you."

Shimura Ken stuffed a stack of surprisingly thick envelopes into his pocket, and extended an invitation to Fujii and the two girls.

"I'm under 20 years old, forget it."

Fujii Shu rejected the other party. If he wanted to develop into the entertainment industry, this was a good opportunity to get closer, but with his all-around golden finger, he has the ability to be willful.

Atsuko Maeda also politely declined. The underage Saito Asuka was not within the scope of Ken Shimura's invitation at all.

"Well, is it convenient to add a Line friend?"

Saito Asuka, who looks weak, actually approached Fujii who was about to leave first, and made a request.

"Okay, let's scan it with the NFC function of the phone."

Fujii Shu generously agreed, how many people can ruthlessly refuse a cute girl who wants to add you on WeChat in person.

"If you don't drink, I'll go to the field staff to drink. Goodbye."

Ken Shimura didn't want to be a light bulb any more, he winked at Fujii tree in his old heart, and turned his head to mingle with the staff who were cleaning up the set.

"Miss Maeda, is it convenient to add Line as a friend? Meeting is fate."

Noticing Maeda Atsuko's hesitant appearance, Fujii asked proactively.

"Well, thank you."

Only then did Atsuko Maeda take out her mobile phone, and after adding two girlfriends, Fujii tree seemed to have completed the task, said hello and left.

"Fujii-kun is not yet 20 years old."

When removing makeup in the dressing room, Saito Asuka mentioned Fujii's age intentionally or unintentionally, and Maeda Atsuko next to her was already a 25-year-old girl.

"I'm not interested in him, you don't have to say that."

Maeda Atsuko's expressionless answer caused Saito Asuko to apologize for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Humph, little bitch!
Atsuko Maeda took a step ahead and gave Saito Asuka a blank look before leaving.

Haha, old witch.

The 16-year-old Saito Asuka noticed the reaction of Atsuko Maeda through the reflection in the mirror. She was not a mean person, but the treasure was in front of her, so how could she sit idly by? There is only one Fujii tree, and the winner is justice.
