Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

The audition for "The Reason I'm Here" is very important to Tachibana Ayumi.

Not only because "The Reason I'm Here" is of great significance to the actor, as long as she can participate in it, she can expand her popularity.

More importantly, Kitasumi will also come to audition this time!

Her fingers can't help but clench the script.

Just thinking of Kitasumi, Tachibana Ayumi pursed her lips.

Since Kitasumi debuted and became famous, there have been countless voices comparing her with herself.

At the beginning, it was Shiraishi Jun's "Night Walk". The other party did not choose Tachibana Ayumi, who was already a first-rate actor at the time, but chose Kitasumi, a second-rate actor.

At that time, Tachibana Ayumi didn't care so much, but was a little unhappy, thinking that he was completely looked down upon by Shiraishi Jun.

He would rather choose Kitasumi, a second-rate actor, than himself, a first-rate actor. Could it be that he thought that a second-rate actor could be better than him, a first-rate actor?

For this reason, Tachibana Ayumi even made a special trip to watch the ratings of "Night Walk".

When I learned that the ratings of "Night Walk" were a Waterloo in the first week, I was really relieved of my depression.

See! Choose a second-rate actor and don't choose him, isn't that the case?

Tachibana Ayumi didn't pay much attention to "Night Walk" after that - the ratings were so Waterloo at the end, and it would inevitably decline more seriously in the future.

However, until he heard from his agent that the ratings of "Night Walk" not only reversed the decline in one fell swoop, but also topped the list again.

Tachibana Ayumi was really stunned.

He never thought that the second-rate actor named Kita Sumi could actually reverse the situation.

Since then, Tachibana Ayumi has left an impression on Kita Sumi.

Then it is well known that he and Kita Sumi have a wonderful fate.

His inclusion in "The Famous Actor is Coming!" was snatched away by the news that the 9-year-old prodigy Kita Sumi entered high school.

He gave up "The Grudge" and turned to "Little Shokudo" Season 2, but the ratings of "Little Shokudo" Season 2 were a bust, and he barely made a living.

On the contrary, Kita Sumi took over "The Grudge" that he gave up and it became a big hit, breaking the box office record of Japanese horror movies.

Even the title of "Music Child", which he had managed with great difficulty, was completely overshadowed by Kita Sumi's "Tonight's Moonlight is So Beautiful", and the other party was also given the official title of "Sunday Miracle".

This is more than just fate?

It's simply a bad fate!

Various comparisons between him and Kita Sumi.

Various evaluations between him and Kita Sumi.

Sometimes it really gives Tachibana Ayumi a headache - this is like the rhetoric of "the kid next door", which really hits a kid like him.

But these are not the most important.

The most important thing is

"Shibaizumi-chan"

Tachibana Ayumi muttered.

Ever since he said something against Kita Sumi in the children's clothing advertisement, Shibaizumi Hosokawa has never paid any attention to him.

Sometimes, even if they meet on the show.

The other party just adjusted his hat and didn't even look at him.

Except for the necessary program process, there will be no communication with him.

So.

"Today I must beat that guy in this audition! Let Shibaizumi know that I am also very powerful!"

His little fist clenched.

Tachibana Ayumi cheered up.

Children have simple minds.

He subconsciously thought that Shibaizumi Hosokawa thought he was bragging, so he ignored him.

Then let him respond to Shibaizumi Hosokawa with the results of this audition!

This will definitely make the other party pay attention to him again!

Thinking of this, Tachibana Ayumi took a deep breath.

There is still a little time before the audition, even this little time cannot be missed, and he must work hard to learn Chinese.

Just as he was thinking this way.

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Oh? Isn't this Tachibana-chan? You are here trying to learn Chinese by yourself?"

"Huh?"

The voice was quite clear and pleasant.

Attracted by the voice, Tachibana Ayumi subconsciously raised his head.

Then his expression changed.

The reason was very simple.

Looking at the handsome male actor in front of him who raised his hand to greet him cheerfully.

Tachibana Ayumi simply read out the other person's name word by word.

"Kitasumi?"

He read out the other person's name, and at the same time he was a little puzzled.

Why did the other person take the initiative to find him?

But before he could finish thinking.

Kitasumi on the other side had already come over cheerfully and put his hand on his shoulder.

"So Tachibana-chan has also heard of my name. Are you learning Chinese?"

".?"

Looking at Kitasumi's palm that was calmly and cheerfully placed on his shoulder, and the other person's handsome and cute face that came close to him.

Tachibana Ayumi opened his mouth, and his expression became a little strange.

No?

Why is this guy so familiar?

But——

"Don't call me Tachibana-chan!"

With a stern face, he took a step back and removed Kita Sumire's hand on his shoulder.

Tachibana Ayumi sat down again.

This is natural.

During this period, the discussion in the yakuza industry was basically about him and Kita Sumire.

The two are enemies, not friends.

Not to mention that they are still competitors now.

He raised his eyes and looked at Kita Sumire in front of him.

Tachibana Ayumi was determined not to pay attention to him.

However——

"Okay, Ayumi-chan, were you learning Chinese just now?"

Kitasumi asked with a smile.

"."

Looking at Kitasumi in front of him, Ayumi Tachibana was completely silent.

Although children don't particularly care about the issue of addressing by name.

But Kitasumi called him by his name right away.

It was obviously the first time he met Kitasumi in person today, why did the other party feel like a good friend of his? Isn't it too close?

He closed his mouth and remained silent.

".Hmm?"

He scratched his cheek with his fingers.

Looking at Ayumi Tachibana who was silent with a stern face in front of him, Kitasumi missed him a little.

This child is quite like Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

And he actually has a lot of ways to deal with such a child.

Thinking of this, he smiled and spoke.

"Ayumi-chan, do you remember me? It's me, the Kitasumi who took your place in "The Name Role is Coming!"."

"." Ayumi Tachibana.

Tachibana Ayumi still didn't say anything, still staring at the script in his hand, but his face was a little shaken.

"I heard that the ratings of your "Little Canteen" Season 2 were a failure. How did it fail?"

"Gu——!"

As if he had been stabbed in the chest, Tachibana Ayumi's body shook slightly, and he looked at Kita Sumi with gritted teeth.

It is said that killing is not the end of the matter.

Kita Sumi was simply stabbing him in the wound!

Of course, he also knew that Kita Sumi spoke like this just to make him pay attention to him. He must not be fooled!

He made up his mind that no matter what Kita Sumi said next, he would not pay attention to the other party.

However——

"Oh, speaking of it, Shibaizumi-chan often mentions you to me."

With his index finger pressed on his thin lips, Kita Sumi suddenly spoke happily.

And this sentence made Tachibana Ayumi, who had just made up his mind not to speak, stunned for a moment.

Shibaizumi-chan.?

Often mention him?

The original firm determination was like a building without a load-bearing wall that was slowly loosening.

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask Kita Sumi how Hosokawa Shibaizumi mentioned him.

But asking Kita Sumimi on his own initiative was...

His cute little face was full of embarrassment.

Kita Sumimi seemed to have seen through his wavering expression.

He blinked and smiled again.

"Speaking of which, Shibaizumi-chan also commented on Ayumi-chan. I wanted to tell Ayumi-chan, but unfortunately, Ayumi-chan ignored me. Forget it, I'll go back and read the script."

As he spoke, his expression still had a little regret on his face, and he took a step to leave.

Tachibana Ayumi was just a child, and he had never seen such a deliberately provocative speech.

Seeing that Kita Sumimi was really about to leave, he immediately couldn't hold it back.

He quickly put down the script in his hand, and Tachibana Ayumi's face flushed, and he immediately called Kita Sumimi.

"That. Wait a minute."

"Hmm? That.? But my name is not that."

Turning his head, Kitasumi was full of confusion.

".Uh."

Looking at Kitasumi's 'confused' expression, Tachibana Ayumi wanted to bite him directly.

But under Kitasumi's gaze, he finally chose to give in.

The white and tender fingers grabbed the hem of his clothes, his face flushed, opened his mouth, and called out weakly.

"Kitasumi-kun"

"Very good."

Kitasumi nodded with satisfaction, then stopped and came over curiously.

"Ayumi-chan, I just heard you learning Chinese. Have you passed the HSK Chinese test?"

".How did you know?"

Tachibana Ayumi looked at Kitasumi in surprise.

Because he was indeed not like other servants who used the pronunciation of on-screen reading to memorize by rote, but passed the HSK Chinese character level 1 test through his own efforts.

This is actually completely considered an entry.

Although his pronunciation is still quite unstandard, at least there is no problem in daily Chinese communication.

This can be regarded as his trump card for this audition.

After all, Kita Sumire's acting skills are really too good, even he has to admit that he lags behind the other party.

So he studied Chinese specifically, hoping to defeat Kita Sumire in the Chinese competition.

As a result, before this trump card was revealed, Kita Sumire actually heard it.

"Because I know Chinese very well."

"."

Tachibana Ayumi looked at the cheerful Kita Sumire with a strange look.

Why is this guy so confident?

Know Chinese.?

He spent a lot of effort to pass the first-level test and still dared not say that he understood Chinese.

When it comes to Kita Sumire, it means "knowing Chinese very well"?

However, Tachibana Ayumi did not go into details.

After all, he took the initiative to call Kita Sumire for this reason.

"Kita Sumire, that. is what happened just now."

Tachibana Ayumi moved a little closer.

"Oh - you mean what Shibaizumi-chan mentioned about you? Do you care about it?"

"Yeah!"

Nodding vigorously.

Tachibana Ayumi looked at Kitasumi with anticipation.

"." Kitasumi.

Looking at Tachibana Ayumi's serious and expectant baby fat cute face, Kitasumi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Chaizumi-chan does often mention things about you, but... that's mostly after I beat Aushi-chan. She happily ran over to celebrate my victory over you."

The expectant expression solidified at this moment.

Tachibana Ayumi's throat twitched.

Then--

"Ugh - you guy! You must be lying! This is a psychological tactic! Just wait and see! I will definitely beat you this time! You, you idiot!"

With a choked sound and tears in her eyes, Tachibana Ayumi's little face turned red, and she shouted softly and cutely to Kitumi Minori.

This guy!

This guy must have done it on purpose!

You just wanted to come over and hurt my self-confidence, so that’s why you said that!

I won't be fooled!

I will definitely win you this time! No! I will definitely win you!

I've tried my best! I have also passed Level 1 of HSK!

I am confident that I will not lose to anyone in Chinese conversation!

When he wins the role this time, let’s see who Shibaizumi-chan celebrates with!

Tachibana Ayumi ran away with tears in her eyes, wiping her eyes with her arms as she ran.

"Well"

Looking at the back of Tachibana Ayumi running away, Kitaki opened his mouth.

To be honest, he didn't have any ideas about psychological tactics.

And he can indeed say some nice things to Tachibana Ayumi with high emotional intelligence, so as to close the relationship with him.

But seeing the other person being so serious and looking forward to it.

Even Beicheng Shi was too embarrassed to lie.

After all, the other party answered his questions seriously, and he told a lot of lies to deal with the other party, which would be very inhumane.

but

"never mind."

Beicheng Shi shook his head and didn't care much.

After all, Tachibana Ayumi's 'idiot' scolding was like being coquettish and had no effect on him at all.

only.

His eyes moved.

"Ugh?!"

When the servants of several offices nearby saw Kitumi Minoru looking over, they immediately shrank their necks.

It’s over, it’s over!

They had heard of the evil reputation of 'Commander Beicheng' before.

It was said that even their manager couldn't do anything to the other party.

Take a look now! This is really the case!

Even Tachibana Ayumi's two-word conversation with Kitumi Minoru brought tears to his face.

If they were targeted by Kitami Minori, wouldn't they encounter unprecedented workplace bullying? !

Mom, the way he looks at me is so scary. I really want to go home.

"."

Sensing the looks around her that were obviously more frightened of her, Beicheng Minoru touched her head with a headache.

Because of his competition with the Green Apple man on the Oricon list, his name as "Commander Beicheng" spread widely.

Now when he is just walking on the road, servants from other offices come up to 'say hello'.

They looked like they were afraid of what they, the 'subordinate gangster', might do to them.

I hope that this exchange with Tachibana Ayumi will not make his reputation as a so-called 'yakuza boss' spread wider.

He thought so.

Then I heard a sound coming from the notification speaker installed in the lounge.

"Everyone who is auditioning for the main role of Lu Zhiyuan in "The Reason I'm Here" please follow the staff to Studio 6."

"It's finally here."

Kitazumi cheered up.

Lu Zhiyuan's role audition

It's finally starting.
