Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

If you want to ask when is the busiest time for the five major private TV stations in Japan.

It is undoubtedly when the season schedule is approaching.

Major TV stations are desperately recruiting soldiers and horses, just to avenge the last season's one arrow.

What?

Your ratings last season were scary high?

Come on, come on, let's see your strength again this season, and see if I knock you down or you kill me.

This is a battlefield without gunpowder.

If you want to survive in this battlefield, the equipment and weapons in your hands are even more important.

Having a good director and screenwriter is equivalent to wearing protective gear on this battlefield, and there is a possibility of a bottom line.

And if the director and screenwriter are considered excellent protective gear.

Then excellent actors are like weapons in your hands.

Some actors are like a small pistol.

In a battlefield with heavy firepower, they are not useful at all, and can only be regarded as icing on the cake, increasing the chance of winning a little.

But some actors are different.

They are born with their own fan traffic, and they are real rocket launchers.

Therefore, every time before the show starts, the schedules of popular actors in major agencies are packed.

Who wants these "rocket launchers" to go to other TV stations and bomb themselves in return?

But this year is different.

There is more Kita Sumire in the industry.

Whether it is last year's Blue Ribbon Award.

Or this year's "The Reason I'm Here".

Kita Sumire can be said to have been in the spotlight, and can be called a national child actor - and she has single-handedly increased the ratings of the old variety show "Where to Go".

This is an exaggerated effect.

In the current situation where there is a lack of successors between new actors and old actors in the Japanese industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new generation of double-flowered red sticks.

It is an extreme weapon that no matter who gets it, it will not suffer, but whoever does not get it may be killed by it.

Therefore, just at the beginning of the show, major TV stations have already sent invitations to the AR child actor training center to shoot TV series.

As for small TV stations?

Small TV stations also want to compete for Kita Sumire?

Go wherever you are cool.

You want to compete with them for Kitasumi Shi without a big production of 50 million to 70 million yen per episode?

You don’t even have the right to sit at the table for dinner!

The five major private TV stations sent out invitations for filming in unison, and it seemed like they were scrambling to be the first, as if they were afraid that if they were late, Kitasumi Shi’s knife would fall into the hands of others and turn around to chop them to death.

For this reason, several TV stations originally did not have characters like boys in their production plans, and asked the screenwriters to add them in.

What they were afraid of was that others would use Kitasumi Shi to "chop themselves to death".

However, what the five major TV stations did not expect was that-

their filming invitations had just been sent.

As a result, they received the news that Kitasumi Shi’s summer schedule was full and she could not take on other filming work for the time being.

Ah? Was she cut off by someone?

Now everyone was confused.

Someone acted faster than them?

They looked at each other, full of confusion.

This was mainly the preparation time for the opening of the show.

Logically speaking, every actor's schedule should be free.

How come Kita Chengshi's schedule was taken so quickly?

How generous must the salary be to make Kita Chengshi give up their five major private TV stations?

The producers of the private TV stations were puzzled.

But this puzzlement did not last long.

They soon got the answer from the AR sub-service training institute - Kita Chengshi will participate in the filming of TV series on other TV stations in the next schedule.

Filming of TV series on other TV stations?

They were a little confused.

As the five major private TV stations, they know the situation of each of them, and they basically know what type of large-scale TV series their opponents are planning.

What is the situation of the filming of TV series on other TV stations?

Fortunately, the five major private TV stations still have control over the TV industry.

Soon they figured it out.

It turned out that Kita Chengshi's schedule for the next quarter was to participate in the TV series "She and Him" ​​on Sakura TV.

All the producers present looked strange.

Turning to look at the producer of Sakura TV, his eyes became even more eager.

Okay

Just now, you pretended to be innocent and helped us investigate.

Okay, it turns out that I was investigating myself!

Are you playing us for fools?

You have obviously got the schedule of Kita Chengshi in the next quarter, but you are still pretending to compete? Are you trying to disgust us on purpose?

And what's the matter with this "She and Him"?

Is Sakura TV going to produce two big productions in one quarter?

So ambitious? !

Do you want to step on their corpses to get to the top?

You are really something, you are so bad! Do you want to stab us in the back later?

Facing the gaze of everyone present, the most confused person at this moment is the producer of Sakura TV.

What the hell?

"She and Him"?

As the producer of Sakura TV, he certainly knows what "She and Him" ​​is like.

That is a TV series adapted from a low-budget novel that is purely used to fill the numbers and time slot.

The advantage of this kind of TV series is that it has fans of the original work as a base, so the ratings will basically not be too bad.

But why? !

He gave up all the big-budget TV series and chose to star in a low-budget TV series?

What kind of outrageous operation is this?

Isn't this completely the opposite?

What kind of weird things is this actor thinking about?

He doesn't understand it at all.

Fortunately, this misunderstanding didn't last too long, and everyone knew about "She and Him" ​​through their own channels.

And the moment they knew about this situation.

All the producers couldn't help but touch their heads at this moment.

They couldn't figure out why Kita Sumi gave up the big production and starred in a low-budget TV series.

Could it be that this actor is doing something fancy again?

After all, Kita Sumi has done so many tricks since his debut, but he always brings surprises to people.

Maybe this time is the same?

But no matter how many tricks he does, it's useless, right?

"She and Him" ​​belongs to the garbage time after the morning slot - during this time period, the children have already gone to school, and the father is about to go to work. At most, the only people who can turn on the TV during this time period are some married housewives who are really bored at home.

No matter how much you think about it, it is impossible to contribute to the ratings of "She and Him".

I really don't understand what this child actor named Kita Sumi is thinking.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand.

Kita Sumi, the "nuclear weapon", is willing to participate in low-cost TV series.

This also means that during their prime time, there will be no uncontrollable factors such as Kita Sumi to interfere.

This is definitely a good thing for them - everyone does not have nuclear weapons, so it is fair.

However, among the five major private TV stations, only one TV station does not think so.

That is the large-scale production crew of Sakura TV.

If Kita Sumi joins their crew, it will definitely add a lot of color to their TV series.

But this opportunity was intercepted by their own family.

Is this appropriate?

The key is still the garbage time after the morning slot!

They gave up their prime-time TV series and went to act in their own garbage time!

Not to mention that Noguchi Okashi's crew is notoriously poor. This time, "She and Him" ​​only has 7 million yen per episode for shooting.

They dared to attack Kita Sumire with such a small amount of money?

Originally, Kita Sumire's sword of imperial power should be in their group!

They gnashed their teeth and felt disgusted by their own people.

There are also big problems with the AR sub-actor training center.

Especially Kita Sumire's agent.

They actually let the popular sub-actor participate in a low-cost TV series?

This person's brain must have been kicked by a donkey!

Kita Sumire didn't know the miscellaneous ideas of other TV stations.

Although he hadn't gone to the "She and Him" ​​crew at this time, he had already received the script of the TV series.

After flipping through it for a while, he felt bright.

This. The quality of the script is pretty good.

Although it's not so brilliant.

But the quality of the lines is very solid, and there is no random change in Kita Sumire's original work.

From this point of view, it is completely above average.

"Very good."

Kitasumi became interested.

Originally, he was still worried whether the screenwriter in charge of the adaptation would just give up.

After all, with a budget of 7 million yen, most people probably think that the film would be a bad movie.

But he didn't expect that the other party was quite serious about his work and didn't do it perfunctorily.

"In that case, then we can look forward to it."

Thinking of this, Kitasumi took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

"Hello? Master? What's up?"

The cold voice of Nao Mikawa soon came from the other end of the phone.

"What do you mean by 'what's up?' Didn't I send you a message on LINE yesterday? Didn't you see it? Make time for me to act in "She and Him" ​​in the next schedule."

"But Master, it's just a low-budget TV series, right? Wouldn't it be a bit too cheap for a first-line actress like me to participate in such a TV series?"

Nao Mikawa asked back very honestly, and continued to speak.

"And Master Kitasumi is doing this for his aunt, right? This kind of master who uses a cute disciple for other women, the master is really a frivolous man."

"."

The corners of Kitasumi's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath: "Nao."

"What's the matter, Master?"

On the other end of the phone, Mikawa Nao tilted her head, and because she had no expression, she looked a little cute.

"I'll count to 3, and when I count to 3, I hope you can give me an answer."

"Master, this is really coercion, right? I..."

"1."

"Master, oppose dictatorship."

"2!"

The voice became heavier.

"Master, wait a minute--"

Mikawa Nao's voice rarely showed a trace of panic.

"3!"

Kitasumi didn't wait for her and counted to the end directly.

".I understand, Master. Although I don't want to act in "She and Him", I will make room for the scumbag Master in the next schedule. It's because Master and I lived in the same room when we were in China."

".Stop talking nonsense! It's just because there are no other actresses in the hotel, and the production budget is limited. It's reasonable to arrange a child like me into your double room!"

Kitasumi was amused by this funny guy and cursed him directly.

But at the end of the words.

He still paused and continued to speak.

"Nao."

"Um?"

"Thank you anyway."

As an actor in "The Reason I'm Here", Nao Mikawa performed very well.

If nothing else happens, she will definitely be an actress who will be competed by the five major private TV stations this time.

The other party gave up on large-scale production and was willing to follow him through this muddy water.

This is indeed something to be thankful for.

Thank you as soon as you say it.

Kitaki Minoru clearly heard the rapid coughing sound coming from Nao Mikawa over there.

After a while.

As if she had adjusted her emotions, she shrugged helplessly and replied: "Oh - there is really nothing we can do about Master. As expected, you still have to rely on me as your apprentice at this time. You must treat me to dinner next time we meet."

It sounded like he was complaining endlessly.

But the tenderness contained in it cannot be ignored by anyone.

Kitaki Minoru was slightly moved.

But there was no further waste of time.

After the conversation with Nao Mikawa.

He contacted another cheap apprentice, Shimada Makoto.

After the wonderful performance of "The Grudge", Makoto Shimada also gained a lot of benefits.

After that, I received many invitations to TV series and movies.

In addition, his father is a real estate developer.

His status also quickly rose from the original second-tier actor to a first-tier actor.

It’s still the process of communicating with Nao Mikawa just now.

Shimada Makoto readily agreed to Kitami Minori's invitation.

As one of Kitazumi Minoru's 'believers'.

He has great confidence in Beicheng Minoru.

This "She and Him" ​​looks extremely shabby.

But it will definitely be able to soar into the sky like the previous "The Grudge".

"very good."

Beicheng Shi nodded his head.

Now the main actors are almost complete.

There are four main characters in "Her and Him".

The heroine Arami, the male protagonist, Souta, a male teacher with a sense of justice who had an old acquaintance with Arami.

As for the last remaining one.

It was the little girl Yu Xi who fell in love with the male protagonist, Muro, when he was studying in school.

The entire storyline of "Her and Him" ​​revolves around these four people.

After contacting Nao Mikawa and Makoto Shimada.

This is how the two actors Ariami and Souta were found.

Then only Yu Xi is left.

Kitaki Minoru touched his chin.

Yu Xi belongs to the love room in the plot, but she is also a little girl character who is a bit frank and likes to act petty.

And this kind of role.

To be honest, Hosokawa Shibaizumi is undoubtedly the most suitable.

After all, you can feel it just by reading the text description.

This is simply a replica of Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

but

“Inappropriate”

Kitaki shook his head.

Unlike the two unlucky disciples Nao Mikawa and Makoto Shimada.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi is a popular servant of another firm.

Now that the show is about to open, the other party will definitely be invited to film by other TV stations.

It is impossible for Kitumi Minoru to draw the other party into the filming crew of "Her and Him" ​​just because of her own selfish interests.

Besides, even if Hosokawa Shibaizumi agrees.

Her agent Kusakabe Koko is also unlikely to let go easily.

so.

"Sure enough, I just have to forget it."

Kitaki Minoru muttered and glanced at his phone.

In addition to Hosokawa Shibaizumi, he also has the contact information of other female servants.

Akiyama Shiyin is definitely not good.

At 14 years old, she cannot play a role like a 'little girl'.

Then I guess I can only choose between Rie Kitayama from "Night Walk" and Rika Haneda, a top-notch comrade from the AR comrade training center?

Kitachi Minoru touched his chin, and had just made up his mind to ask the AR sub-service training center.

But the call hasn't been made yet.

The phone was already ringing rapidly.

He glanced at it strangely, and then froze.

on the call page.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi's name is dancing.
