Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 106 Kokubu Sachiko

In the previous life, although "Iron Armored Little Treasure" became popular in the Red Earth Continent, it was not considered a sophisticated and outstanding special photography production in Japan.

This drama is broadcast on TV Asahi, with a total of 52 episodes, each episode is twenty minutes long.

The plot is protracted, and often after one episode, the audience feels that they have watched nothing. It takes two or three episodes to get some plot information. It seems to be a feature-length special series.

The result is like a sponge picked up from the sea. When squeezed gently, it turns out to be completely water.

Um...it seems like I've scolded myself...

…………

Shooting a tokusatsu work again, Bunta Takakura is completely different from when he first shot "Ultraman Tega".

When filming "Ultraman Tega", Bunta Takakura was just a supporting role. The villain in the finale of a single episode was not ranked among the entire Ultraman Tiga.

In the cast of "Iron Armor", the main actors are all child actors in their twelfth or thirteen years old. Bunta Takakura can be said to have beaten Beihai Kindergarten, ranking first among the cast.

When Kichijoji Kuranosuke was 9 years old, his father ran away from home. For his father, Kichijoji Kuranosuke did not hesitate to compete in sumo wrestling with robots.

Koenji Joe, Kabuda, and Mitaka Sayuri called him "President."

…………

Only Yuka Koide became the spokesperson of Fuji Bank after 1997. The promotional materials at that time were themed Yuka Koide, and her net worth has also increased year by year.

…………

He is smart and handsome, has 100 points in all subjects, and is also very good at sports. She is very thin and often helps her parents with the company, which invisibly creates a gap between her father and herself.

Kazuki Futami, a child actor who played the main role of Koenji, hosted an Osaka FM radio program as an adult;

In 2002, the first photo album and DVD were released, and at the same time, she transformed from a former child star into a beautiful girl. With a girth of over 100cm, she became the subject of numerous media reports and firmly established herself as a second-tier actress.

…………

Finally, through the efforts of Koenji Joe and himself, his father, who had been avoiding him, returned home.

Sayuri Mitaka is played by Yuka Koide, a 12-year-old girl who is a good friend of the robot "Tenderina".

Yuka Koide, who plays Sayuri Mitaka, is the only one among the child stars in "Iron Armor" who is still active in the Japanese entertainment industry.

The male protagonist of the crew is 12-year-old Kazuki Futami, who plays Joe Koenji, the operator of the "Kabda" robot. I can't swim, my water skills are very poor, and my academic performance is not good either. I often get 0 points. But he is kind-hearted and values ​​friendship.

If it were just when he was reborn, Takakura Bunta would still be willing to play a development game.

But he has a bad temper when he is angry.

The second player is 13-year-old Kimura Masaru, who plays Kichijoji Kuranosuke and is the operator of the "Golden Turtle Jiro" robot.

…………

This girl is cute and beautiful, and both Koenji Joe and Kichijoji Kuranosuke have a crush on her.

Played the role of Kichijoji Kuranosuke Kimura Masaru, and became active in stage plays as an adult;

My first love was my classmate Ai Tachikawa in the fourth grade. Later, my first love went to Australia.

…………

But reborn in the dark star plane these years.

From Hokkaido, the Northern Province of the Red Continent, Xiangjiang, South Korea, Southeast Asia, to Ukraine, Russia...

There are too many cows.

Takakura Bunta got tired of drinking milk early and entered the milk-weary period.

…………

Compared to this child star with potential, Takakura Bunta pays more attention to another female artist who became famous on the Internet in the Red Earth Continent with "Iron Armored Treasure" - Sachiko Kunibu.

Back then I only focused on watching robots...

Kunibu Sachiko was discovered by a talent scout when she was in junior college and entered the entertainment industry. She played the role of police officer Miki Nakano in "Iron Armor".

Later, she officially appeared in the TBS TV program "Showy Little Nurse". She followed the pure route and was always tepid.

From 2004 to 2005, he starred in the TBS daytime drama "Mario" (Love Memory) and began to mature.

During the filming of the daytime drama, I attended some Ginza business receptions, went to and from the hotel with a married senior official of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and was exposed by "Shukan Bunshun".

This caused Sachiko Kunibun, whose popularity had risen somewhat, to fall into a crisis of public opinion again, her career hit rock bottom, and she began to shoot some video movies.

....................................

In a crew of this caliber, Takakura Bunta stands out from the crowd, completely underwhelming.

In addition, the arrival of Takakura Bunta, the quasi-king, has greatly benefited the crew of "Iron Armored Treasure". The most direct manifestation is that there are more media.

The crew had been filming in Nerima Ward for half a month, and the number of media reporters who came to the crew could be counted on two hands, including two media partners of TV Asahi for routine work. …………

But when Bunta Takakura, the lead singer of the Hyakusho rock band, entered the crew, not to mention the local reporters in Nerima District, even the "West Nippon Shimbun", "Yamagata Shimbun", "Mainichi Shimbun", "Asahi Shimbun" News", "Sankei Shimbun" and other first-line newspapers and magazines came to interview one after another...

This kind of news popularity has far exceeded Takakura Bunta's popularity.

This supernatural popularity of public opinion is mainly due to the operation of the studio helmsman Keiko Kanda.

The unprecedentedly powerful "silver bullet arsenal reserve" allows Akina Nakamori's former producer and Sony record producer Keiko Kanda to carry out some high-end operations in the capital field...

…………

Keiko Kanda has brought the entertainment industry’s tradition of traveling and traveling in the paper media era to its extreme...

In fact, it is equivalent to hiring Internet trolls in later generations to post some posts, soft articles, etc. on websites, platforms, and self-media.

Of course, Takakura Bunta Studio needed to digest the huge inflow of funds from the other world, so Kanda Keiko was particularly generous.

Each person has an appearance fee of 5 yen and a set of Yuanverse's new "Detective Conan" series of dolls.

Metaverse has newly signed a group of underground idols from Akihabara to ensure the completion rate of defeat settlement for the doll character Maori Lan.

There are also foreign media such as Fukuoka FM, Hokkaido Broadcasting (HBC), and Aomori Telecom (ATV) who traveled long distances to participate in the event. They had first-class air tickets and stayed in luxury rooms at the Hilton Hotel.

…………

Of course, Bunta Takakura is also a good person. Every time he is interviewed, he has to pull out Kazuki Futami, Masaru Kimura, Yuka Koide and others to praise them.

Child stars praise how talented they are at such a young age and have a bright future;

Adult artists praise their acting skills, and that they are very pleasant to work with and enjoy the performance process;

Anyway, just one word, praise.

Often, Takakura Bunta himself devotes less than half of the interview, and the rest is all praise for the actors and even the entire crew of "Iron Armor".

Kunibu Sachiko even transformed and became Takakura Bunta's "good friend in the crew". The two "helped each other". Takakura Bunta "particularly admired her" and thought she was "particularly serious about acting" and "very police-like"... …

....................................

Kunibu Sachiko was completely confused when she saw the content of the news interview.

Kokubu Sachiko, who had a reserved personality, had spoken less than five sentences to Takakura Bunta at that time.

She thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't understand why she suddenly became a good friend of Takakura Bunta.

…………

Later, Kunibu Sachiko also figured out what Takakura Bunta meant from producer Seiko Uchiyama.

Bunta Takakura shared his promotional resources equally among the entire crew.

To put it bluntly, Bunta Takakura uses his fame to help everyone.

This is a rare opportunity for the cast and crew of child stars and 18th-tier artists who are generally well-known to show their faces.

Not to mention newcomers like Kunibu Sachiko.

It is almost difficult for the unknown Sachiko Kunibu to get media coverage.

But Takakura Bunta raised her hand like this, and the media reported Takakura Bunta, and Kunibu Sachiko also occupied a full page.

…………

This is not an exaggeration. The Internet is not developed these days, and many people get information from newspapers and magazines.

It’s not uncommon in the industry to see stories of people getting noticed by directors because of a report, and eventually getting roles that skyrocketed to great heights.

Knowing this, Sachiko Kunibu went to thank Takakura Bunta, and the rest of the crew also softened their attitude towards Takakura Bunta.

Normally when I see Takakura Bunta on the set, she no longer treats her coldly, and the child actors are obviously much closer than before.

…………

This kind of tax trick in the actor's contract is similar to other productions, but the amount paid by the "Iron Armored Little Treasure" crew is too large...

However, although there are tax risks in this contract, the income of the crew members has indeed increased several times, reaching a level that far exceeds their own status.

Moreover, Takakura Bunta took the initiative to help them gain popularity and exposure, which was of great benefit to their artist careers.

…………

In fact, it is the same for both entertainers and media reporters.

If you are being taken care of, don’t talk about independent personality or journalistic ideals...

....................................

Of course, there is a deeper reason why Takakura Bunta praises Sachiko so much.
