Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Although it has long been known that "The Reason I'm Here" will be shot in China.

But when the day actually arrived, Kitazumi was quite excited.

After all, this is my return to my hometown after three years.

Even if it is only about half a month to shoot there at most.

But this is exciting enough.

For this filming, he even made a special trip to ask Principal Yumoto of Jingwen High School for more than half a month's leave.

That is to say, Kitaki Minoru has a special status, and is now regarded by the majority of Jingwen High School students as the 'promotional ambassador' of their school.

Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, it would have been really difficult to get approval for this half-month vacation.

He put down his phone and was just about to take a look at what he was going to prepare——

Ring ring ring.

A crisp cell phone ringtone rang.

Kitaki Minoru could only pick up the phone he had just put down.

Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Because the caller was none other than Kitano Fumi who had just sent a LINE message.

He didn't ignore the other party for too long and reached out to connect it.

Then, Kitano Fumi's rough voice came into his ears.

"Hello? Is this Beicheng boy?"

"It's me, what can I do? Director Kitano."

Holding the phone between his legs, Kitumi asked subconsciously.

But his question made Kitano Fumi on the other end of the phone pause for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Kitazumi heard Kitano Fumi's speechless voice.

"How dare you, kid, ask me what's the matter? You've obviously read the LINE messages and they've all been 'read', so why didn't you reply to my message?"

One thing to say, Kitano Fumi has been in the industry for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen an actor like Kitumi Minoru.

Who among the other actors does not respect him with utmost respect? Do you always reply immediately when you see a message?

When I arrived at Kitaki Minoru's place, not only did I forget that I couldn't read it back, I actually asked him to call me back. It's not a big deal to be bold.

You must know that the status of Japanese directors is quite high.

"Ahem, I'm very sorry, Director Kitano, I was preparing to go to China just now."

Listening to Kitano Fumi's words, Kitumi Minoru reacted instantly and apologized quickly.

".oh?"

Kitano Wen is not a small-minded person. As soon as he heard that Beicheng was making preparations, he immediately switched to work mode: "Have you got your passport? Has your visa been processed?"

Yes, this was the most critical reason why he called.

If we say that the scenes of "The Reason I'm Here" shot in Japan mainly focus on the conflict between Yukie Tezuka and his father.

Then the next trip to China will tell the story of Lu Zhiyuan, a Japanese overseas Chinese, who returned to China and experienced the differences between China and Japanese culture.

It would be terrible if Kitami Minori's passport or visa was stuck.

Without the key figure Lu Zhiyuan, the number of shots that can be shot will be greatly reduced.

It’s not like Fumi Kitano has never been to foreign countries for filming.

Sometimes, the visas of some actors are blocked, resulting in the inability to start the filming smoothly, and the filming process is forced to be delayed indefinitely, which is extremely disgusting.

This is also an important reason why some actors are often reluctant to go abroad for filming.

What I'm afraid of is that my visa will be stuck.

Fortunately, Kitumi Minoru quickly responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I've already applied for the visa and passport."

"That's good."

Kitano Wen let out a small sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about the visa.

But since the visa has been processed over there, then

"Well, Beicheng boy, now that you have applied for your visa, I actually have one more thing to tell you."

Kitanowen spoke.

His voice was hesitant, as if it was difficult to speak.

Kitano Fumi has always been a stickler in the filming crew, and rarely shows such an indecisive attitude, which makes Kitumi Minoru feel a little confused.

However, he didn't pay too much attention, he just smiled and said: "Director Kitano, if you need my help with anything, just tell me."

Kitumi still has a good impression of this straightforward director.

As long as it's not a big deal, he's still willing to help the other person.

"Well, how do I put it? I have a friend who founded a variety show, and he happened to be doing interviews about China. He hopes that you can appear in an episode of his variety show. For this reason, he called me to request."

"Variety show?"

There was a hint of surprise on Kitaki Minoru's face.

He wasn't surprised that he was invited to participate in a variety show - he had just won the Blue Ribbon Award and was very popular, so it was normal for a variety show to take an interest in him.

He was surprised by Kitano Fumi's attitude.

You must know that Kitano Fumi is very striving for excellence in film shooting, and he is the kind of director who is not willing to waste a minute.

This kind of director is naturally quite strict with actors.

At least generally speaking, it is impossible for Kitano Fumi to allow his actors to take on some miscellaneous variety shows while filming his movies.

After all, it is not good to be distracted by a low-quality variety show during a critical period of film shooting.

But this time he not only allowed Kitami Minoru, the main character actor, to accept the variety show, he even helped recommend it himself.

This seems incredible to Kitazumi.

Fortunately, Kitano Wen quickly gave an explanation. "That program is "Where Are We Going?" on Japan and Korea TV."

When he said this, his voice was full of helplessness.

But Beicheng Minoru suddenly realized it.

It turns out to be "Where Are We Going?"

"Where Are We Going" is a variety show launched by Japan and Korea TV. Its main selling point is to explore social issues, interview personal news, etc.

In addition, the program style content is full of laughter and cursing, and it often uses humor and humor to show certain social phenomena and social problems from multiple angles.

For example, people in Kyoto and Tokyo fight each other and discriminate against each other on a daily basis, or why Saitama Prefecture is called the dirtiest county in Japan, etc. It is very spicy social information, so it is very popular.

Therefore, its popularity is at the same level in the TV industry. Even in today's era when mobile phones and computers are gradually replacing televisions, the ratings of "Where Are We Going" are often around 10%.

Of course, the key point is not here.

The most important thing is that the boss behind "Where Are We Going" - Nichao TV.

The Blue Ribbon Award has already been mentioned.

There is an inextricable cooperative relationship between Japan and Korea TV and Yingdong Film Club. Even the current site of Japan and Korea TV is the land provided by Yingdong Film Club.

The main investor in "The Reason I'm Here" is Yingdong Film Company.

There is such a relationship.

It was indeed difficult for Kitano Fumi to refuse the request for "Where to Go".

To put it bluntly, if you don’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, no matter how arrogant you Kitano Fumi is, you can’t slap your sponsor’s father in the face, right?

However, Kitano Fumino obviously also took into account Kitami Minori's opinion, and added after explaining.

"Of course, if you feel a little embarrassed, Beicheng boy, it doesn't matter if you don't want to appear on camera. I'm just telling you the news."

Kitano Fumi said this very lightly, but Kitaki Minoru knew it in his heart.

If he really refuses, the person who really cannot come to power is Kitano Fumi.

After all, in the industry, this kind of request with pressure from the sponsor is the hardest to refuse.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about, and "Where Are We Going" is a first-class variety show. Instead, I would like to thank Director Kitano for giving me this opportunity."

Wanting to understand the situation, Kitumi answered with a smile.

".Beicheng boy"

The always rough voice had some fluctuations, and Kitano Fumi felt more favorable towards Kitaki Minoru in his heart.

With Kitaki's current popularity, why does "Where Are We Going" help to promote it?

The other party most likely agreed to this request because of Kitano Fumi's face.

This son-in-law really has an indescribable charm. No wonder he is so successful in this industry that values ​​personal connections. Even Mr. Michuan is willing to stand up for him.

Of course, Kitano Fumi is not easily sentimental.

Since Beicheng Minoru has agreed to his request.

He did not hesitate, nodded in response to Kitumi Minoru's words and at the same time made a call to the filming team of "Where Are We Going".

"What? Beicheng-kun has agreed to participate in our "Where Are We Going"?"

After receiving the news from Kitano Fumi, Akihiro Bekawa, who directed the performance hall scenery of "Where Are We Going?"

The fingers that were originally directing the work stopped, and the originally impatient expression also cheered up.

Even while communicating with Kitano Fumi on the other end of the phone, she also bowed to express her gratitude to him.

Wait until Kitano Wen over there hangs up the phone.

Only then did Benchuan Akihiro exhale heavily, his brows beaming with joy.

There's no way, that's Kitaki Minoru!

There is no one among the most popular disciples in the past three years!

Not to mention that the other party just won the Blue Ribbon Award and became the real No. 1 sub-player in Tokyo. The upward momentum is extremely amazing.

Being able to have him participate in his own show "Where Are We Going" at this time is simply manna from heaven!

After all, don't watch "Where Are We Going", as a veteran variety show, with a ratings of 10% all year round, enduring, and it is known as an evergreen variety show.

But in fact, as a director, life is not so easy for Akihiro Bekawa, and he is now in a state of exhaustion of inspiration.

To put it bluntly, there is no place to take pictures.

"Where Are We Going" itself is a program that exposes social phenomena or interviews individuals.

However, there are only 1 capital, 1 prefecture, 2 prefectures and 43 prefectures in Japan. In places with bigger butts, there are only a few interesting "stalks" that can be photographed.

You can’t keep clinging to these Japanese gossips, right?

There is really no other way, so Akihiro Bekawa can only launch a special episode on China - Japanese people are still very interested in China's customs and customs, and there are many Japanese variety shows that have content about China.

But since it is a new special episode.

It is definitely necessary to invite some famous guests to use their fame to enhance the atmosphere of this program.

And let’s talk about who is the most famous in the industry today.

That must be Hokusumi Minoru who is in full swing.

For this reason, Bengawa Akihiro called Kitano Fumi and begged him to help invite Kitacumi Minoru - this was actually a dead horse acting as a live doctor.

After all, with Kita Sumimi's current popularity in Japan, I don't know how many variety shows would invite him.

But what he didn't expect was that Kitano Fumi actually invited Kitaki Minoru over!

This is so lucky!

They can definitely take advantage of Kitumi Minori's current popularity to promote the first issue of "Where Are We Going? China Special" in order to accumulate audiences.

And since Minoru Kitazumi agreed to participate, it would be fun to deliberately create some interesting program effects.

Akihiro Heikawa's eyes flickered.

For example, what if the person who was arranged to pick her up suddenly disappeared halfway?

For example, if there was no one to lead her, could Kita Sumire go through all the formalities and walk out of the airport alone?

Maturity has always been a selling point. When a young child actor is in a foreign country and faces the unfamiliar Chinese spoken language, culture and other uneasy factors alone, will he shed his mature skin and show his cute crying face in front of the camera?

Just thinking about it, Akihiro Heikawa thinks this idea is quite interesting.

It's a sure thing!

It's definitely a sure thing!

Kita Sumire's special episode of China trip!

It must be very interesting!

OK! Good night, everyone! Go to bed early!
