Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Hosokawa Shibaizumi was unhappy.

Really unhappy!

Because a certain 'good friend' hasn't chatted with me for nearly half a month.

Do normal friends do this?

It's impossible no matter how you think about it, right? !

The key is that I have been busy shooting commercials recently.

And speaking of advertising.

Her white, thick legs swayed out from under her skirt.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi was very dissatisfied and stamped his feet vigorously.

The childish little tiger teeth were exposed unhappily, biting Yingfen's lips, and the brim of the white hat swayed according to her mood.

She had already planned it.

Say no to an ad and make time to hang out with that annoying person.

As a result, she hasn’t implemented her plan yet!

Her agent, Kusakabe Koko, seemed to have read through her thoughts.

Suppress all the thoughts in her mind.

This also forced her to accept this advertisement.

"hateful!"

Who leaked her flawless plan!

She bit her delicate thumb, her cute, childish, fat face full of incomprehension.

Because she really couldn't think of anyone.

You know, she only secretly told Kitumi Minoru her plan.

It's impossible that Kitumi Minoru betrayed him, right?

Hosokawa Shibaizumi was puzzled and could only kick his short legs angrily and keep thinking.

Next to her, a cute-looking male servant saw her angry look and spoke cautiously.

"Well, Shibaizumi-chan, I think it was the annoying guy you mentioned who secretly told the manager, right?"

"Huh? Tachibana, why do you call me a nuisance like that?"

Hosokawa Chaizumi held his chest with his small hands and stared at the servant in front of him with unhappy eyes and a bad tone.

yes.

Even she couldn't bear to say that about that nuisance Kitaki Minoru.

Why did Tachibana Ayumi, who had only collaborated with her once before, comment so highly on Kitami Minoru?

"Uh that"

Being stared at by Hosokawa Shibaizumi, Tachibana Ayumi was also a little panicked.

In fact, he has always wanted to have a good relationship with Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

The reason is actually very simple.

When I worked with Hosokawa Shibaizumi before, the other party helped me.

It was a children's show.

Due to his mistake, he almost fell off the stage.

The stage is set high.

It's no problem for an ordinary adult, but if you fall down from the height, you may be injured.

If it really evolves into that situation.

The entire children's program will probably be shut down immediately.

And he probably has to bear a lot of responsibility.

that time.

It was Hosokawa Shibaizumi wearing a hat who rushed over to grab him and pulled him back.

"You have to pay attention to your steps when you walk. Are you okay?"

This was Hosokawa Shibaizumi's childish and somewhat complaining voice when he pulled him back.

Tachibana Ayumi could not forget that scene.

Overhead lights.

Flying white hat.

Short, swaying black hair.

The sweat on the side of the girl's face and the bruised white knees from trying to hold him.

and her slight gasp.

that time.

Tachibana Ayumi began to want to have a good relationship with Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

But that was the only time he collaborated with Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

After that, there were no opportunities for cooperation.

until today.

Tachibana Ayumi received this advertisement for children's clothing.

And now.

The person he had always wanted to have a good relationship with was right in front of him, and she was glaring at him with very unhappy eyes.

This of course made Tachibana Ayumi a little flustered.

But after all, he is also a top-notch servant in the industry, and he is more or less used to the attention of others.

Even in such a flustered mood.

He also said everything he wanted to say.

"Because of Shibaizumi-chan, you only told the 'annoying guy' you called me about this matter, right? So no matter what, he must have secretly told your manager your plan, right?"

"Well--"

As soon as these words were spoken, not even Hosokawa Shibaizumi could refute them.

She's not stupid.

Of course, considering the possibility that Kitumi Minoru may inform.

Just let her take the initiative to ask Beicheng Minoru...?

Well, that's a bit

But she didn't want to simply show weakness in front of Tachibana Ayumi!

The nuisance isn't here.

She has to protect the other party's reputation!

Of course, this is not because she has any thoughts about Kitami Minoru. At most, she just doesn't want to see Tachibana Ayumi, an unrelated outsider, pointing fingers at the annoying person.

"I'll ask him!"

Taking out his cell phone from the small satchel he carried with him, Shibizumi Hosokawa asked Kitami Minoru a question on LINE.

Then

[Tokyo’s No. 1 son-in-law (tentative): How could I tell the truth? (The picture shows a cartoon kitten smiling sheepishly)]

His eyes lit up.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi turned the screen of his phone to Tachibana Ayumi without hesitation.

"Look! The bastard said it all! He didn't do it! I said it all! It's true!"

"That kind of thing. No matter how you think about it, it's just a lie to Shibaizumi-chan, right?"

Sensing Hosokawa Shibaizumi's elated mood, Tachibana Ayumi felt a little bit inexplicable, although she didn't know why.

Even though he is similar to Hosokawa Shibaizumi, he is still a first-rate sub-boy in the industry.

But to put it bluntly, he is just a child, and he doesn't know how to hide his emotions when faced with this kind of thing.

However, what Tachibana Ayumi didn't expect was——

"what are you saying?"

Her beautiful eyes widened.

Three steps followed by two steps.

Little white hands stretched out.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Tachibana Ayumi's collar.

She's 'Huh?' ’ He made a sound and gritted his teeth.

"Even if you are my partner this time, you can't just smear the nasty guy! I will really be angry!"

Although she has been bullying Kitazumi in her own way.

But that doesn't mean he tolerates being bullied by others.

"You, what kind of person is that annoying person you are talking about?"

Realizing that Hosokawa Shibaizumi seemed to be serious, Tachibana Ayumi took a step back.

"The nuisance is so awesome! His name is Kitami Minoru! In just half a year, he rose from a third-rate, no! A fourth-rate, low-level servant to a first-rate servant!"

Hosokawa Chaizumi hugged his chest, straightened his back, and looked particularly proud.

"There is no such person! He wants to become a top-notch servant in half a year! And even so, he is not as good as me at all, right? My annual income last year was 30 million yen, and this year too."

Tachibana Ayumi tried to argue.

"Nasty Guy is much better than you! It has nothing to do with how much money you make! Nasty Ghost's acting skills are very good! Really good! Even many adult actors are not as good as him! Even director Feiyan Honma praised him Pass him!"

""The Grudge", "Kidnapped Natsuko" and now "Little Cafeteria"! There is no bad role for a hater!"

Hosokawa Shibaizumi hummed and raised his finger.

"And Nasty Ghost is really good at cooking. Let me tell you, the food that Nasty Ghost cooks is really delicious!"

"." Tachibana Ayumi was speechless.

Because of his mood, Hosokawa Shibaizumi didn't speak much at all during the filming of the children's clothing advertisement.

But Tachibana Ayumi noticed.

When talking about the otaku named Kitazumi Minoru——

Her big dark eyes seemed to sparkle.

Her short crow-feather hair swayed happily.

Sakura's lips curled up unconsciously.

Speaking of rising.

Hosokawa Chaizumi stretched out his white hand and held her white hat.

The sun was shining, and she squinted her eyes and smiled.

Behind the small body is the ocean.

Behind the shimmering ocean is the sky.

The snow-white children's dress was blown up by the sea breeze.

Falling slowly again.

Tachibana Ayumi said no more.

Because Hosokawa Shibaizumi's proud and shy smile said it all.

the other side.

"Tokyo Cursed Sword Master", stage rehearsal——

"Okay! Let's take a rest for now! Beicheng-kun, come here for a moment."

"OK."

I originally planned to take a short rest.

But now that his name was called, Kitami Minori didn't hesitate much and stood up simply.

The person calling Minoru Kitazumi was the theater director in charge of "Tokyo Cursed Sword Master".

His name is Nagase Madou.

He is a middle-aged director with extremely rich experience who has been engaged in stage performances for more than 20 years.

And if he were asked to evaluate Kitumi Minoru's acting skills——

"Beicheng-kun, there is nothing wrong with your acting skills. I can even say that your acting skills surpass those of quite a few stage actors."

Adjusting his glasses a little, Nagase Mado sighed and spoke.

Yes.

Been engaged in this industry for more than 20 years.

It's not like he has never seen Ziyi with superb acting skills.

But this is really the first time for Kitumi Minoru to do this.

The Hida he plays is really oppressive.

So much so that some actors who were in charge of supporting roles were a bit unable to keep up with the show.

He was praising over there.

But Kitaki Minoru here has no intention of relaxing at all.

Because according to Nagase Madou's starting point.

It is estimated that it will be a 'but' soon.

After all, if he had no problem, the other party wouldn't call him over alone.

But the fact is just as Kitumi expected——

"But, Beicheng-kun, you probably haven't adapted to how to act on stage yet, right?"

".It's really not getting used to it."

Kitaki nodded without hesitation.

Although he has heard others say that stage plays need to be as exaggerated as possible.

But that's just hearsay. In fact, it's difficult to control this degree behind the scenes.

"That's true."

Nagase Madou nodded his head, and then opened his mouth to explain to Kitacumi: "Kitasumi-kun, your biggest problem now is that you don't express your emotions enough."

"is that so?"

Kitami blinked his eyes, mainly because he did not expect that he, who has always been praised by many directors for his 'emotional expression' and 'body movement expression', would actually be accused by Nagase Mado of not expressing his emotions well.

However, Kitumi Minori wasn't too angry. The other party has also been a theater director for more than 20 years and has rich experience. Since he said this, there must be a reason.

"Beicheng-kun, I remember you mostly acted in TV series and movies, right?"

"Indeed it is."

"Then what do you think is the difference between TV series and movies and stage plays?"

"What's the difference.?"

Kitazumi frowned and gave his answer simply: "I think it should be sex on the spot."

That's right.

Liveness.

When shooting movies and TV series, you can reshoot, post-dubbing, and even cut out images.

There are so many things that can be done.

But not stage plays.

There can't be any mistakes, because if there is a slight mistake, the audience will basically see it clearly.

"Yes, it's live sex."

Nagase Madou replied, while secretly looking at the other party in surprise.

He didn't expect that a child servant who had never been exposed to a stage play could actually notice this during these days of practice.

The performance method of stage play is special in the element of ‘live performance’.

For example, express emotions such as anger and sadness.

In movies or TV series.

The director usually only needs to give a close-up of the actor's facial expression or a detailed description of some body movements.

For example, clenching fists, gritting teeth, feeling annoyed.

but--

"Stage plays don't work."

Nagase Madou shook his head.

That's right.

The audience of a stage play does not have the function of a microscope. They can be far away and see the actors' small movements or facial expressions off the stage.

Not to mention the audience in the back row.

The greater the physical distance.

It becomes more difficult for actors to express their emotions through small movements such as clenching fists and clenching teeth.

"And this is also the most important reason why stage actors exaggerate their acting skills."

The movements are not exaggerated, the expressions and the voice of reading the lines do not put more emotions into it.

Then the audience will not be able to feel the emotions that the actors want to express.

Kitami Minoru probably has acted in many TV series and movies.

After Nagase Madou's observation, he found that the opponent had many body movement habits.

For example, when he is angry, he will squint his eyes and tense up slightly.

If you look at these small movements at close range and in a small area, you can actually say that they express emotions perfectly.

But if it extends to the entire theater stage.

Then the infectiousness will undoubtedly drop to a lower level.

After all, from the audience's perspective, it is difficult to clearly see Kitumi Minoru's expression and these small movements.

"I see."

Kitazumi's mind is very flexible.

Nagase Madou just said it, and then he understood what the problem was.

It’s no wonder that actors in stage plays act ‘angry’ or ‘sad’ sometimes.

His body language is exaggerated - otherwise, it would be difficult for the audience to understand the character's emotions.

Kitazumi fell into thinking.

"not bad."

Looking at Kitumi Minoru who was lowering his head and thinking.

Nagase Madou couldn't help but nodded.

This son-in-law is not only good at acting, but also has strong understanding ability.

He usually explains issues related to stage plays to actors who are accustomed to acting in movies and TV series.

An incomplete explanation simply doesn't make sense.

And the other party understood it after just one or two words.

Think of this.

Nagase Madou couldn't help but stepped forward, smiled and stroked Kitumi Minoru's head while comforting him.

"It's okay, Beicheng-kun. The most important thing is that you understand this concept. Don't be too anxious. Let's take our time."

Yes.

Understanding is understanding.

A performance is a performance.

Even for famous actors in the industry, it is difficult for them to make amazing progress in stage plays in a short period of time.

to be honest.

There do exist in this world the kind of ‘plug and play’ type geniuses who can talk it out and understand it as soon as they get started, but there are too few such people.

It takes sweat and hard work for most actors to get to that point.

Think so.

Nagase Madou wanted to comfort Kitaki Minoru again.

At least this hard-working boy can't be let down.

However--

"Director Nagase."

"Huh? What's the matter? Beicheng-kun?"

Nagase Madou smiled.

"I think I've completely understood it, and there shouldn't be any mistakes this time. Can I rehearse again?"

"." Nagase Madou.

ah?

Have you fully understood?

Do you understand how to perform on stage?

Isn't this too fast?

Are you a ‘plug and play’ type genius too?

The smile on Nagase Madou's face stiffened.
