Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

The setting sun illuminates the riverside.

The sound of the scoreboard being played was clearly audible.

Pedestrians appear in the camera lens while laughing and joking, and then quickly exit the frame.

The young actress Chihiro Yonezawa sat on the bank of the river, looking at the river in the distance, with mixed thoughts in her heart.

She thought about the TV series she was filming today that was not going well in every way.

That shot is not that complicated. On the contrary, it can be said to be extremely simple.

It was a scene where the heroine forgives her father.

But she always doesn't perform well.

Can't relate to the heroine.

And the reason why she couldn't perform this scene well is also very simple.

When she was young, her father owed a large gambling debt and left her without saying goodbye, abandoning her and her mother.

With her own hard work, she finally became an actress.

As a result, she was asked to assume the role of the heroine and forgive her father? Showing emotions?

Chihiro Yonezawa simply cannot display it perfectly and freely.

Think of this.

Her eyes turned dark.

"Do you still hate your father?"

A voice suddenly came from beside me.

At the same time is the small figure of a chef dressed in navy blue.

"general.?"

Chihiro Yonezawa was stunned for a moment.

Because it's usually this time.

The boss should stay in his unknown restaurant preparing ingredients.

How would it appear here?

But the boss didn't pay attention to her unnecessary thoughts at all, and just turned his head and continued to ask questions.

"Do you still hate your father? Miss Yonezawa?"

As the owner of an unknown restaurant.

He has been silently observing all the diners.

Among them, Chihiro Yonezawa always speaks with a layer of gloom.

The boss asked her the reason.

Therefore, we also know what happened between her and her father.

"Um."

Chihiro Yonezawa nodded silently.

Then she raised her head: "General, do you think I should forgive my father?"

She knew it.

Although the general at the unknown restaurant in front of him looks like a child, his actual age is much younger than his appearance.

If he is a boss who is constantly in contact with others, he should be able to give the answers he wants, right?

However--

"I have no idea."

The navy blue chef uniform stirred slightly with the river breeze beside the river.

The boss shook his head.

He still didn't sit down.

A qualified chef will not allow himself to get dusty before entering the kitchen.

and--

"Whether to forgive him or not is not something I can decide. You should ask Miss Yonezawa yourself."

Looking at Yonezawa Chihiro's stunned expression.

The boss continued to speak expressionlessly. He was as cold as a machine: "Do you want to forgive him? Miss Yonezawa?"

ask yourself

Do you want to forgive your father?

Chihiro Yonezawa was silent.

She didn't know how to express herself.

I don't know how I should face my father.

The only thing that’s certain is—

"I don't know if I want to forgive him, but what I'm sure of is that I should still hate him."

Chihiro Yonezawa turned her face to the other side of the river.

Yes.

No matter what the reason.

Her father abandoned her and her mother.

Then her heart is very clear.

"Yeah?"

The boss took another look at Chihiro Yonezawa and asked instead of continuing the topic.

"Miss Yonezawa, have you eaten today?"

"." Yonezawa Chihiro covered her stomach.

Because of acting, I worry about my father.

She has eaten nothing except breakfast until now.

It seems to have caught this signal.

"Whether you want to forgive your father or not, you still have to eat well."

Speaking of which.

The boss turned around.

Even Yonezawa Chihiro could hear his voice very clearly in the wind.

"Come here, Miss Yonezawa."

The boss turned his face sideways.

"I invite you today."

The warmth of the setting sun gilded the side of his face with a layer of gold.

"Ah okay."

Chihiro Yonezawa patted the dust on his body and nodded his head gently.

His face turned out to be solemn.

It also became extra soothing at this moment.

yes.

No matter what.

You still have to eat well.

She followed the boss in front of her.

Under the sunset.

The figures of her and her boss walking forward were stretched very long.

Orange bright color.

A train passing in the distance.

The waterfowl were frightened by the train.

It makes the whole picture very warm. Very warm.

"Okay! Click! The entire filming session of "Little Canteen" is over! Thank you for your hard work!"

The loudspeaker sounded with the voice of Takefumi Kawamura.

His voice rang out.

There was no doubt that everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact it's not just them.

Kawamura Takefumi also relaxed a little.

"Little Canteen" took a total of two months from start to finish, with a total of ten episodes, each lasting 25 minutes, and it is finally over.

From the beginning, it was a small late-night production that received no attention from anyone.

Up to now, it has firmly ranked first in the ratings of Dongguan TV Station and ranked among the top five in the hit list.

The pressure he bears is naturally self-evident.

After all, he applied for publicity funds at the beginning.

If the final results of "Little Canteen" are not ideal.

Then he might have to spend the rest of his contract filming TV commercials.

Fortunately, he withstood all the pressure.

Until now.

Of course, Mikawa Takeo and another person were also indispensable for help.

He called over Kitazumi who had just left the filming location.

"Huh? What's wrong? Director Kawamura? What's the matter?"

Since he had just come off the stage, Kitumi Minoru didn't even take off her clothes, so she came over wearing a navy blue chef's uniform.

Looking at Kitaki Minoru in front of him, Kawamura Takefumi showed a satisfied smile.

This time, the filming of "Little Canteen" was so successful.

Kitami Minoru also took at least one-third of the credit.

I helped contact Takeo Mikawa for guidance, coupled with his superb acting and cooking skills.

It brings out all the essence of the play "Little Canteen" to its fullest.

If the protagonist of "Little Cafeteria" were replaced by another person, it would be impossible to achieve the effect of Kitazumi Minoru.

Think of this.

He spoke without hesitation.

"I do have something to tell you, Beicheng-kun."

Kawamura Yuefumi nodded with a smile, and then spoke in turn.

"What do you think of the response to the TV series "Little Cafeteria"?"

"Repercussions.? Of course there's nothing wrong with that."

Kitazumi spoke without hesitation.

That's right.

As a late-night show, "Little Canteen"'s performance can be said to be quite good.

It is now the end of the winter season.

TV dramas on all major TV stations have come to an end.

The same is naturally true for "Little Canteen", which has aired its eighth episode this week - today's tenth episode was filmed in advance.

And the results are nothing to be picky about.

The average ratings were 9.85% and the highest ratings were 10.07%.

If you follow a less rigorous calculation method.

The ratings of "Little Cafeteria" have actually exceeded the 10% line.

Late night.

10%.

For any late-night TV series, this can be called a ‘magic drama’.

Although it is still far behind the 12.79% ratings of the criminal investigation drama "Echo of the Rainy Night" which ranks first on the popular list.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

"Echoes of a Rainy Night" is a criminal investigation mystery drama that is popular among the Japanese public. In addition, it is in prime time, and TV stations vigorously promote it.

And compare with it.

The conditions of "Little Canteen" were much simpler, with a small and crude shooting environment and limited funds during a time when the father did not love the mother.

Even if Dongguan TV station later increases the funding for "Little Canteen".

But the congenital condition is not as good as others - others are born with golden keys in their mouths.

Now, there are still two episodes of "Little Canteen" left to air.

If this momentum continues, it will not be a problem for the average ratings to exceed 10%.

As long as this goal can be achieved.

The drama "Little Cafeteria" can already be called a miracle.

Even now.

Kitami Minori's reputation was also made popular by the TV series "Little Cafeteria".

The position of the first-class servant who was originally a bit frivolous has become more and more stable.

The most significant one is that the number of job opportunities invited for cooperation has increased dramatically compared to before.

Even the person involved, Kitaki Minoru, sighed a little.

No wonder people in the industry say that first-class actors are particularly profitable, even more profitable than adult actors, which is a qualitative improvement.

But this ‘qualitative change’ is too outrageous, right?

When he was a second-rate servant, he didn't get this kind of treatment at all.

Think so.

Kitazumi told Kawamura Takefumi his thoughts.

And this was also recognized by Kawamura Takefumi.

"As you said, Beicheng-kun, "Little Canteen" is very popular right now. So, Beicheng-kun, what do you think the Dongguan TV Production Bureau will do in the face of such a popular TV series?"

"What does Director Kawamura mean? The Dongguan Television Production Bureau may strike while the iron is hot and launch a second season?"

Beicheng Minoru was stunned for a moment.

He is not a fool.

The meaning implied in Kawamura Takefumi's words is already quite obvious.

but

"Isn't it a little too hasty?"

"What's the rush?"

Kawamura Yuefumi smiled and asked him to sit down.

"The people in the production bureau are not fools. If there is such a good drama and they don't support it with a second season and continue to earn ratings and reputation, isn't that what fools do?"

That's right.

The results of "Little Canteen" are here.

As a unit drama that is particularly good at producing sequels, it also has such excellent ratings.

Not having a second season is what an idiot would do.

Dongguan TV does have a lot of confusing operations.

But I still won’t be particularly ‘confused’ about this matter.

When he said this, he paused.

"And I've also heard that the second season of "Little Diner" may be moved to a prime time slot."

"oh?!"

Kawamura Takefumi's words immediately cheered up Kitumi Minoru.

Because to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the late-night slot in today's television industry is too stretched.

"Little Cafeteria" has already reached a ratings of 10%.

Why is it that the average viewership rating is only 9.85% until now?

Not to mention that Dongguan TV has moved "Little Canteen" to prime time.

We will definitely provide sufficient resources and publicity.

It will probably attract a lot of attention just after it starts broadcasting, and it will earn a lot of popularity.

If we can continue to maintain excellent results.

Kitami Minori will definitely receive his first TV commercial as a subservient.

For example, Kitami Minori's same style pork chop rice instant cooking bag, and Kitami Minori's same style egg mixed rice instant cooking bag.

This is actually normal.

It is a very common method for Japanese TV stations to bundle products with excellent TV series and movies.

The cost of an endorsement is calculated at tens of millions of yen - enough to cover his salary from filming last year and a half.

And the reason why Kawamura Takefumi told him about the second season of "Little Cafeteria" in advance.

The most important reason is——

"Beicheng-kun, I hope you can spare your time in the next quarter. I will inform you as soon as there is news about the second season of "Little Cafeteria"."

Let me know if you have any clues.

But Kawamura Yuefumi has basically confirmed it.

"Little Diner" will be filming a second season.

As long as the two major departments of Dongguan TV Station's Production Bureau and Operations Bureau don't act like monsters and deliberately engage in some confusing operations.

This matter is basically not a big problem.

But that's it.

Even if the production bureau and operations bureau are acting like monsters.

As long as the 'lucky general' Beicheng Minoru is here.

Then he will be confident that the ratings of the second season of "Little Cafeteria" will be high and maintained!

that's all.

Kawamura Takefumi forced himself to chat with his "lucky general" for a while and discussed the situation after the second season of "Little Cafeteria".

Only then was he satisfied and let Kitaki leave.

"The matter here has basically been resolved, so the next step is..."

Kawamura Yuefumi stretched himself comfortably.

At the same time, he looked outside the filming location.

Shaked his head.

Originally, today was the day when "Little Canteen" was finalized.

Logically speaking, he should also take the filming crew out for a meal in a symbolic way.

But tonight he also made an agreement with that 'bitch' in Qingshui Mountain - he lost the bet and owed this guy half a year's Ginza consumption.

He could only find a good time to take the filming crew out for dinner.

(I'm stuck. The second chapter may be very late. I may even finish it tomorrow. I really can't write novels at night, especially in the early morning. My brain is very confused. I wrote a bunch of stuff. I won't write in the early morning in the future. I don't accept it. I really can’t do it anymore. I used to be able to write from one o’clock to five o’clock when I was in college. I can’t do that now.)

(I have written four thousand two chapters of the second chapter, but I am not satisfied with them all, so I deleted them directly. I really vomited.)
