Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 419 My wife is also alone today——

Tuesday, which is called Huoyao in Japanese.

For every Japanese office worker, Tuesday is a time that is neither good nor bad, and is a truly depressing time period.

This is especially true for Tokyo TV producer Kei Sakamoto.

When competing with Sakura TV for the "Triple Crown of Ratings" last year.

They were just a hair's breadth away in the prime time, really a hair's breadth away, with a 0.89% loss in ratings.

In the end, they could only watch Sakura TV take the title of the annual triple crown away from them.

And this result almost made Kei Sakamoto and other Tokyo TV producers almost die of anger.

If the difference was large, reaching 2-3% of the ratings.

Then they could say that they were convinced.

But this 0.89% ratings is too disgusting.

To this end, Kei Sakamoto made a special trip to prepare for the homework, and found Kita Sumire as the target. He also raised the TV drama plan and asked excellent screenwriters to write the script.

The purpose was to avenge the previous shame this time.

But who could have thought?

Kita Sumire, who they all wanted desperately, ran to the "mortal enemy" Sakura TV.

When he got the news, Kei Sakamoto almost got really "depressed" and almost couldn't breathe.

Because Kita Sumire went to Sakura TV to participate in the TV series. It was definitely not good news for their other four private TV stations.

Everyone knew how popular this sub-actor was now.

Some producers were "heady" on the spot.

They didn't want to compete head-on with Sakura TV, which held Kita Sumire's killer weapon.

Because it was like everyone was secretly hiding a knife, preparing for a head-on, knife-to-flesh competition, but on the day of the war, Sakura TV threw away the knife and directly took out the AK47.

The despair in this is so profound that you can tell how deep it is just by reading this text.

But fortunately, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Originally, they thought that Kita Chengshi was going to star in a prime-time TV series.

As a result, no one expected that the TV series he was starring in was not only low-cost, but also in the garbage time after the morning slot, just to make up the numbers.

This made many producers feel relieved.

Even if Kita Chengshi had the ability to reach the sky, it was basically impossible to get excellent ratings in such a garbage time period.

Even some small TV stations simply put on TV commercials to kill time because the ratings after the morning slot were too bad, and they were too lazy to invest in it.

It is conceivable how disgusting this time period is - serious actors are not willing to go to this time period at all.

However.

After putting his clothes neatly and tying his tie, looking at himself in the mirror, Sakamoto Kei exhaled heavily and turned to look at his wife who was busy in the living room.

"Kanae, I'll leave the recording of "She and Him" ​​after the morning show to you. I want to watch it when I get back."

Although he really wanted to watch the show "She and Him", he was worried that Kita Sumire would do something fancy again.

But he was just an office worker after all, and he was too busy now that the show had just started.

So he could only hand over this task to his wife Kanae Sakamoto, who was a full-time housewife.

"Hmm? Is it the TV show after the morning show on Sakura TV that Kei mentioned yesterday?"

Kanae Sakamoto, who was cleaning up the breakfast dishes on the table, paused with a puzzled look: "But isn't the time after the morning show pure garbage time? Is it really necessary to care so much, Kei?"

As Kei Sakamoto's wife, she naturally knew some things about the TV industry.

She didn't understand why her husband was so concerned about a low-cost TV show in a garbage time slot.

No matter how good a TV show in this time slot is, can it be compared with a prime-time TV show?

At most, some housewives like her would turn on the TV to watch it when they were really bored.

Seeing his wife tilting her head to look at him cutely, Kei Sakamoto also showed a helpless smile, walked over, stretched out his hand to rub her head and replied: "If it is a normal situation, you don't have to worry about it, but this time "She and Him" ​​has Kitasumi Minoru participating."

"Oh?!"

Hearing this, Kanae Sakamoto, who was originally cleaning up the dishes, blinked her eyes and was a little surprised: "Is it the kid from the AR child training center? I like him very much. Whether it is TV or movies, his acting is so great."

"It's him. Anyway, I'll leave it to you, Kanae."

Seeing that his wife knows something about Kitasumi Minoru, Kei Sakamoto sighed in his heart.

You know, Kanae Sakamoto is actually not concerned about the affairs of the industry. At most, he occasionally asks a few questions about his work.

As a result, even she knows something about Kitasumi Minoru.

This is enough to show how popular Kitasumi Minoru is in Japan.

He exchanged a few more words with Kanae Sakamoto, and then looked at the time. After realizing that he would be late if he didn't leave, he got up, said hello to Kanae Sakamoto, and pushed the door to go to work.

Wait until her husband leaves.

The smile on Kanae Sakamoto's face slowly disappeared. At the same time, she looked at the messy clothes in the laundry basket and the vacuum cleaner in the corner, and couldn't help sighing.

Everyone thinks that full-time housewives only need to take care of the situation at home.

Every day life is simple and happy.

After all, there is no pressure from work outside, and no pressure from life.

All that needs to be done is to clean the house and hang out the clothes.

But in fact, this is not the case for Kanae Sakamoto.

What needs to be done every day is basically equivalent to repetitive labor, which is nothing more than cleaning up the dishes, washing clothes, cleaning the room, hanging clothes, and going out to buy the ingredients needed for tonight when the time is almost up.

Such days, if it is one or two days, it is actually bearable.

But time piles up.

Every day, I face the same people and the same things.

Especially when I am alone at home, without any social activities, my daily life is also empty and lonely, and there are not many entertainment methods.

In the long run, it will naturally make people feel a little boring and lonely.

This is also the main reason for the high depression rate among Japanese housewives.

Although Kanae Sakamoto has not yet reached the point of "depression", she does feel a little bored with the unchanging life now.

But

"What can be boring?"

Muttering softly, Kanae Sakamoto glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

The time for "She and Him" ​​to be broadcast is almost up.

She stopped her work, picked up the TV remote control and turned on the TV, but she was more or less complaining about her husband in her heart.

She was actually not willing to stay at home and watch TV.

After all, she had a meeting of the town committee to attend today - the people at the meeting were all housewives in the town.

She should be able to chat with them.

But this was her husband's request after all.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, Kanae Sakamoto could only force herself to be bored and watch "She and Him" ​​start.

"I hope this TV series can be shorter."

Staring at the Sakura TV logo that finally popped up on the TV, she couldn't help thinking so.

As mentioned earlier, because the summer season has just started, all kinds of work have piled up together.

Just today, as the main producer of the prime-time TV series, Kei Sakamoto has attended at least five or six meetings of varying sizes.

These include the budget for the TV series, the budget for costumes and props, and the contact with the actor agency.

With all the accumulated work, Kei Sakamoto didn't rest all day.

Except for a meal at noon, he was busy doing all kinds of things outside almost all day.

He was busy until after eight o'clock in the evening.

Kei Sakamoto dragged his tired body to stand at the door of his house.

He looked at the time. It was already after nine o'clock. The child should be asleep, so Kei Sakamoto did not call out "I'm back". He turned the door and walked into the house.

What he didn't expect was that his wife was standing by the door.

It looked like she was waiting for him to go home.

What he didn't expect was that the food on the table was also steaming hot and looked quite rich.

This made Kei Sakamoto a little confused.

His wife Kanae Sakamoto was indeed good at managing the family and gentle and virtuous.

But during this period of time, she usually just helped him heat up the food and dealt with it for a meal.

After all, the child was almost asleep at this time.

Why is it so abnormal today?

Still standing at the door?

Kei Sakamoto's face was full of question marks, but he quickly reacted.

During this period of time, he had been busy with work and neglected to care about Kanae Sakamoto. The two had not had a heart-to-heart for a long time.

The other party took the initiative to wait for him to go home, handed him slippers, and urged him to go home to make candlelight meals to replenish his energy. I think this is the only reason.

Thinking of this, Sakamoto Kei put down his chopsticks: "Kanae, you suddenly did all these things for me today. You must have some request?"

He looked at his wife with a gentle expression, and his voice was full of manly tenderness.

As expected, after hearing his words, his wife raised her face, and her usually gentle eyes were full of shame: "There is indeed something I want to trouble Kei with."

"It's okay." The other party's attitude made Kei Sakamoto feel relieved, and he laughed: "Don't be embarrassed, I am Kanae's husband."

"Since Kei said so"

Under his gaze, Kanae Sakamoto took a deep breath nervously, and then said: "Kei is a producer of Tokyo TV. He should be able to get in touch with Kita Sumire, right? I want some autographed stills of Kita Sumire's "She and Him."

"Okay, I will try my best to satisfy Kanae. Hmm?"

Kei Sakamoto didn't hear Kanae Sakamoto's words clearly at first, and suddenly realized that something was wrong after hearing the latter. He was stunned for a moment and looked at his wife.

No

Wait a minute?

Kanae, what are you talking about?

"She and Him"?

He was stunned on the spot.

And this expression was seen by Kanae Sakamoto, which naturally made her embarrassed.

But since the words had been said to this point, she did not hesitate and continued to speak in a low voice.

"I also know that this matter is a bit difficult for you. After all, "She and Him" ​​is a TV series produced by Sakura TV. It is indeed a bit inappropriate for you to contact Sakura TV, but if possible, I really want a few autographed photos. Machinichi's wife also found me today for this matter, so can you help me think of a solution?"

"Uh"

Looking at his shy and blushing wife in front of him, and thinking about asking Kanae Sakamoto to help record "She and Him" ​​today.

Sakamoto Kei's expression changed.

No?

What happened?

I just let my wife watch a TV series?

My house was suddenly robbed?

How could this TV series have such a destructive effect on a wife who lives alone at home?
