Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

If Kitasumi Mi had won the main role of "Kidnapped Natsuko" before.

Then now that even the screenwriter Yotsuya Masayoshi has recognized it, Kitasumi Mi can say that the role of Natsuko is his.

He just needs to be careful not to get hurt, not to make any trouble, and stay quietly at home or in the training center waiting for the crew to notify him.

And Yotsuya Masayoshi is really efficient.

In just one night, Kitasumi Mi received the revised script of "Kidnapped Natsuko".

There are many changes.

The main thing is to change the performance of Natsuko, the protagonist, to be more "masculine", and the modal particles and some scenes have been changed to a considerable extent.

After all, Natsuko in the previous script was designed for a girl, and now that the main role has been changed, of course it has to be changed.

What surprised Kitasumi Mi even more was that many of the lines in the revised script by Yotsuya Masayoshi seemed to be designed for him.

Many of the text expressions are very consistent with Kitasumi Mi's performance at first glance.

It seems that the "fans" that Yotsuya Masayoshi mentioned before were not just a casual remark to fool Kitasumi.

He really revised the script seriously, and the degree of completion was extremely high.

Even a few days after receiving the script.

Kitasumi received a gift of hot spring buns mailed by Yotsuya Masayoshi.

This is indeed a true fan.

Before the crew started filming, they went on a trip together and even did not forget to bring a gift for themselves - Honma Fuhiko just sent a greeting card!

It's just that this thing tastes very sweet, with red bean filling and brown sugar glutinous rice.

After eating just one piece, Kitasumi already felt "sick", so he simply shared it with Kitasumi Youbo at home.

Time also passed slowly in this process.

In the blink of an eye, it turned from June to mid-July.

Soon it will be Kitasumi's turn to start filming "Kidnapped Natsuko" and the premiere ceremony of "The Grudge".

However, it is different from Kitasumi's singing all the way forward.

His cheap agent, Mitsuru Tamura of AR Actress Training Institute, is having a headache.

Mitsuru Tamura is indeed having a headache.

Logically speaking, he suddenly has a dark horse actor like Kita Sumire under his command.

As an agent, he should be frankly happy.

However, he is not in this mood now, but a little troubled.

The reason is very simple - he doesn't know how to choose.

To be more precise, he doesn't know who to focus on training.

As an agent of AR Actress Training Institute.

Mitsuru Tamura is not only responsible for Kita Sumire, an actor.

He also needs to be responsible for the daily work of several other actors.

But how easy is it to do this?

You know, taking care of actors is a very troublesome thing.

Because actors are different from adult actors.

Although most actors are quite precocious, they are still children after all.

As an agent, he not only has to try his best to sell actors, but also needs to consider the actors' life, psychology and even physiological issues.

He is just an agent, not a god, so of course he cannot take care of every single one of his servants.

If he focuses on training one, he will inevitably ignore the work of the other.

So here comes a rule that is seen through but not spoken in the industry.

That is - give up servants without talent and ability, and focus on training capable servants.

And Kita Sumire was once on Tamura Koji's "abandonment list".

This is natural.

He has a total of five servants, including Kita Sumire.

Kita Sumire is the most inconspicuous servant among the five candidates, and is also the servant at the bottom of the ecological chain.

The work left by the first four people.

Tamura Koji will give it to Kita Sumire.

It is basically a minor role like child A and child B.

Even Tamura Koji has to wait one or two months before seeing Kita Sumire - this is not an exaggeration in the industry.

The base of servants is too large, and there are many servants who are incompetent and cannot be sold.

However, it was only three months ago.

This unsalable, incompetent actress got the audition for "The Grudge" by her own efforts.

Now she even got the lead role in "The Kidnapped Natsuko"!

It was a lucky win in the lottery, which was understandable to Koji Tamura.

Because a director in the industry took a fancy to an actor and gave him a chance to perform - this kind of thing is not uncommon.

But the first time was understandable.

The second time, she was promoted to the lead role.

This was a bit weird in Koji Tamura's eyes.

Because Koji Tamura was very confident in his own vision, and felt that Kita Sumi was a child with no talent and no hope - otherwise, he would not have joined the training school for so long and still not become popular.

But it was such an ordinary actress in his eyes, who had no connections in the industry.

But she was able to "grab" roles from other directors frequently.

This was really unexpected for him.

Besides, Kita Sumi was only eight years old, which was considered to be a simple-minded age among actresses.

It should be impossible to exclude others, bully others, and use tricks.

Damn, if that's the case, how did he do it?

It’s not like I’m really blind and the pearl is covered in dust, right?

Tamura Koji is really unsure.

As someone who once gave up on Kitazumi Minoru.

He had never taken the initiative to go to the set to watch Kitumi Minori's performance, and he had no idea about the other party's situation.

Even when Yotsuya Masayoshi and the others had an audition, he was always waiting outside.

So for this eight-year-old boy who only exists in the data and is managed by himself

Tamura Koji is really a bit unpredictable.

So

What should we do next?

Tamura Koji looked at the information in his hand.

There are a total of two candidates he is considering and training in his mind.

One is a second-rate female protagonist who is already quite popular.

If he makes use of the few resources he has and works harder, he might be able to reach the top at this age. If he's lucky, he might be able to join the ranks of first-rate warriors.

And the other one is Kitazumi, who has been silent for a long time and has only recently shown some improvement.

The former is stable, while the latter has too many uncertainties.

The pull from both sides.

It gives Koji Tamura a big headache now.

Because he also wants to succeed, and wants to cultivate excellent subordinates who can be called first-class in the industry.

In this way, he can also raise his head in this company.

At least he doesn't have to be like when he first came here, the company people directly asked him to take care of a few low-level servants and treat him as a nanny with their children.

It’s so confusing. It’s so confusing.

He lit a cigarette and watched the smoke rising.

He is still confident in his vision.

But I was afraid that I would be blind and miss a stepping stone to success.

But I can’t really be blind, right?

Think over and over again.

And it is in this thinking process.

The cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hello? Who is it?"

After stubbing out the still burning cigarette butt, Tamura Koji asked.

"Are you Tamura's manager? I'm Kitami Minoru. Today is the premiere of "The Grudge". The main reason I'm calling is to ask you when are you going to pick me up?"

On the other end of the phone, Kitaki Minoru's voice came.

"Ah, um. Sorry, Beicheng-kun, it's half past four. I'll pick you up in about an hour."

Tamura Koji answered, but he was yelling bad in his heart.

He had been thinking about how to choose, which led him to forget that today was the premiere of "The Resentment".

This is definitely unqualified for a broker.

Tamura Koji tidied up his appearance a little and sprayed men's perfume to block the smell of cigarette smoke.

His eyes scanned the information on the table.

After some hesitation, he made his decision.

I just happened to pick up Kitami Minoru by car.

By the way, let’s take a look at what the subordinates he is responsible for who only exist in the data are like.

As for who to focus on training.

He could only wait until he met Beicheng Minoru before making any plans.
