I interpret life in Tokyo

Kashima Yu spoke in a deep voice, regardless of facial features or figure, he looked like a high school boy, if his voice were lowered, there would hardly be any sense of disobedience.

"Because of his appearance, he had the idea of ​​competing for male roles during the audition." Kashima Yu smiled, his smile was extraordinarily chic and handsome, which attracted the attention of many girls sitting around her, "I didn't expect to be able to Be number one."

"The performance just now was very interesting, Sakakihara-kun. I really like your impromptu performance. You are also an artist and actor under STARS. Please give me more advice in the future."

After introducing Kashima Tour, Mai Sakurajima turned her attention to Madoka Higuchi.

"This is Higuchi, I usually call her Madoka directly in private." Sakurajima Mai seems to have a good relationship with Higuchi Madoka, and her words have a lot of affinity, "Higuchi-san is my junior, originally in the STARS idol department, But recently I am pursuing transformation, so I came to the interpretation department.”

Higuchi Madoka nodded and smiled, the smile was so shallow that it was almost invisible without looking closely, "Hey, thanks to Mai-senpai's help."

"Please advise, Sakakibara-kun."

After saying hello, Kaede Sakakibara breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that there would be so many young people around his age filming a TV series. This noisy scene reminded him of the classroom, not the crew.

Are these people actors?

"Well, are you surprised now?"

"Well, I admit that I really underestimated this industry before."

Kaede Sakakibara lowered his voice and said softly, whether it is Kashima Yu, Higuchi Madoka, or Sakurajima Mai, their eyes are as bright as a mirror, and their goals are stored inside.

Not to mention them, all the actors here are like this, they are enthusiastically discussing shooting techniques, style changes and eye contact.

Now that he has made up his mind to enter the industry of actors, he will learn from scratch and study hard, just like he did when he was learning other skills in an outsourcing company.

"Oh? Seriously?"

"How did you see it?"

"Your eyes." Mai Sakurajima leaned back and stretched her soft body, "There is fire in your eyes."

Sakakibara Kaede was startled, shook his head and said, "Sister Sakurajima is very sensitive to sight."

"Isn't it the right name?"

Sakurajima Mai showed a black-bellied chuckle, "It should be, Sakurajima Senior, right?"

Sakakihara Kaede forgot that outside the crew, he was indeed one year older than the girl and was her senior, but inside the crew he was a real rookie actor with no status at all.

"Sakakibara-kun, call Sakurajima-senpai, listen?"

"—Okay, everyone is almost here, right?"

Director Aoyama came to the center of the dance room with the microphone, and helped Kaede Sakakibara invisibly. The latter heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that even if he called senior just now, Mai Sakurajima would use the excuse that he couldn't hear clearly, and let the Shout out to yourself.

"Tsk..."

Kaede Sakakibara pretended not to hear Mai Sakurajima's murmur, and looked at Director Aoyama seriously.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Hiroshi Aoyama, and I am in charge of the general work of this shooting. I believe many of you know the person next to me. He is Yuji Nakagawa, the deputy director of the project."

"There are a total of 34 people here, all of whom are members of the STARS family. There are a few regular actors, most of whom are trainee actors. From now on, everyone will be colleagues of the same crew. It is natural to socialize, but there must be a limit." Director Aoyama Glancing at the manuscript in his hand, he continued, "The daily life of our high school students is divided into thirteen episodes, each episode is about 10 minutes to 10 minutes long, and the construction period is [-] weeks in total."

"You will be divided into three classes, Class A, Class C, and Class B where the male and female protagonists are located. Naturally, Class B has the largest number of people and plays, and the other two classes have fewer."

The young actors present have not yet received their own scripts. Hearing this, they can't help stretching their necks and scrambling to look at Qing Shanyang, hoping that they can be assigned to the B class where the protagonist group is.Even if he was assigned a character with no lines and no name, but at least he could show his face on the screen, what if his performance became a hit?

"Next, we will release the final list of roles. You all passed the first round of auditions, but the auditions also have high and low scores. This is the rule for this class division. Who has any opinions?"

No one made a sound, and several actors who wanted to challenge Kaede Sakakihara did not speak. Uehara had already discussed with him, and the result was naturally seen.They thought that such acting skills were inferior to Kaede Sakakibara's, so they naturally had no objection to him as the No. [-] Airborne Male.

Kaede Sakakibara thanked in a low voice, and took the character setting set from Deputy Director Nakagawa.

The character of the character can be seen from the short scene he has acted before.

Sure enough, Hiroshi Kitahara's main point is to be taciturn, with dark circles under his eyes, and often sits in the library with old headphones and studies alone. In school, only his childhood sweetheart Nishida Orange talks to him. In the middle of the plot, he and the male one male two become friend.

His dream is to become a doctor, because Hiroshi Kitahara's mother suffers from illness all year round and is very weak. He wants to be a doctor to cure his mother.

Similar to such a role, the wonderful thing about him lies in the transformation of his personality. With the care of his childhood sweetheart and friends, the process of the taciturn boy gradually opening his heart is fascinating-this is also the shining point of the role of Hiroshi Kitahara .

"Eh? You don't have many lines..."

Flipping through the thick manuscript paper, Mai Sakurajima complained to Kaede Sakakibara in a low voice, "Look, I said, 'Hiro-chan Hiro-chan, the sun is very good at noon today, let's go to the rooftop for dinner.'"

"You answer me three words, no need."

"It can't be helped, this is Hiroshi Kitahara, the character design is placed there." Sakakihara Kaede flipped through the character settings, as if flipping through his own youth.

Sakakihara Kaede likes the role of Hiroshi Kitahara, because he sees the epitome of his past in this role.

Study, study, study, even if you are called a nerd, you won't care.Burning lights in the library at night, listening to words with earphones in the dormitory in the early morning, fiddling with adjustments and recording values ​​in the laboratory when the dawn is rising.

Just like the sentence in the girl movies we chased together in those years, let this world, because of me, be a little bit different.

In college, I dreamed of being able to show my talents and make some changes in the future. Do you still remember the dream at that time?Is it still sparkling?

"What are you looking at, Sakaki-hara-sub-senior-kun?"

Kaede Sakakibara hid the memories in his eyes, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Thinking about the character setting, the time it takes to substitute may be shorter than I imagined."

"Call me Sakurajima-senpai."

"... Goo, Sakurajima-senpai."

Chapter 11 Maxima is common, Bole is rare

"The filming locations are located in Tokyo and Chiba, and the highlight is the academy."

Qing Shanyang looked around and added explanations. "This time, our STARS artist agency has cooperated with Tokyo Private Toyosaki Academy, and we will borrow their classrooms for filming."

"Well... Let me explain in advance here, we are STARS, shining new stars. We are working on the shooting site, and we must devote [-]% of our enthusiasm. I believe that you don't want to affect your future career. Pay attention own words and deeds."

He deliberately turned to those fledgling trainee actors, "I won't interfere with your private life after the filming is over, but you have to remember your identities, actors must not get the slightest stain on their bodies, and you should change careers as soon as possible before things get to the point of no return." Bar."

"The official shooting will start next Monday. The working hours are written in the notes. There is a bus pick-up service at STARS at [-]:[-] every morning. You can also go to the private Toyosaki Academy on your own. The shooting will officially start at [-]:[-]."

"Our high school students adopt a system of filming and broadcasting at the same time, which means that the work of the week ends sooner and the rest time is longer."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Everyone nodded unanimously, and Qingshan Yang nodded slightly when he saw this, "Next is the time for free activities. People in the same class get acquainted with each other. The male number two and the female number two come to me first to speak to each other."

They clapped their hands to signify the disbandment, the shoulders raised by everyone relaxed slightly, someone stretched their waists and got up, saluted Aoyama Hiroshi and Nakagawa Yuji, and left the dance room with his companions.The others stayed in the dance room, sitting in a circle and discussing in a low voice.

Kashima Yu and Higuchi Madoka got up, and they greeted Sakurajima Mai and Sakakibara Kaede. Judging from their expressions, they probably also went to check their lines.

Sakakihara Kaede took out a copy of the precautions from the manuscript, and couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the dense instructions on it.

"This is the first time I've seen so many requests, Sakakibara-senpai."

Seeing Kaede Sakakibara carefully reading each line, Mai Sakurajima twitched her mouth, "I don't think anyone with common sense needs this notice."

"Could it be... Junior brother, are you the kind of unscrupulous actor who hooks up with female students on the shooting scene because of his good looks? Sure enough, what Teacher Jing said is right, men are big pigs."

Sakakibara Kaede has black lines on his face, Hiratsuka Shizuka is spreading rumors.

"Come on, I still want to eat this bowl of rice for a few more years." Kaede Sakakibara glanced at Mai Sakurajima who was reading the manuscript beside him, "It turns out that Senior Sakurajima will also praise people honestly."

"Ah, is my junior so narcissistic? I was just being polite, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously?"

Mai Sakurajima joked softly, Kaede Sakakibara's expression gradually became more natural, he has already figured out the character of this fellow, and being teased is based on cheekiness, thick skin is invincible in the world.

He felt someone pat on the shoulder, and saw Uehara with a gangster-like face in profile, who squeezed a friendly smile at him and pointed to the manuscript.

"Sakakibara-kun, please give me some advice, we're going to play opposite each other again."

Sakakibara Kaede’s manuscript is very thick, he didn’t notice the existence of the opponent’s scene at all, and when he saw this, Uehara shouted angrily, “KORA Kitahara! Did you get the bread I ordered you to buy? What about drinks? What I want is Coca-Cola, you buy it for me What does Pepsi mean? Do you owe me a beating!"

Uehara spread his hands, "Obviously, campus bullying."

"Haha." Sakakihara Kaede laughed looking at Uehara's intentionally ferocious face, and I have to say that he really looks like a big brother who is in charge of the class now.

"It's time to see your performance, I'm looking forward to it!"

Hammering Sakakibara Kaede's shoulder again, Uehara left with a straight face, and said a few times to his companion Kora when he left, obviously his proficiency is not low.

"Come with me."

Mai Sakurajima carried the small bag on her back and stood up to signal Kaede Sakakibara to go with her. She seemed to be in a gray mood and was not very interested.

The latter was confused, but he still greeted the two directors and walked out of the dance studio.

"What's wrong?"

"It's dinner time."

"!"

The lounge on the fifth floor gradually became crowded. The girls were wearing colorful dance skirts, with light sweat on their heads, chatting and eating the buffet provided by the office.

An area of ​​the lounge is divided into a restaurant, and the table is filled with a variety of food, which is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

"So rich?"

"Didn't Teacher Qingshan say that STARS is not short of money, what it lacks is people."

Sakakibara Kaede filled his plate under Mai Sakurajima's eyes, and sat down with her in a corner.

If he had known that STARS included three meals, he shouldn't have struggled for so long in the past, let alone, this steak is really delicious.

Mai Sakurajima is no longer surprised by Kaede Sakakibara's appearance as a starving ghost reincarnated. Now she is only worried about Kaede Sakakibara eating her own portion, and putting a piece of lettuce into her mouth with a fork. In the middle, the vermilion lips moved slightly, chewing on the fresh taste.

Compared with Kaede Sakakibara's meat and vegetables, Mai Sakurajima eats very little, except for a plate of salad, only a few small pieces of chicken breast, which is very healthy.

Sensing Kaede Sakakibara's probing gaze, Mai Sakurajima protected her plate, "What's wrong?"

"No...I think you eat very little."

"As an actor, maintaining your figure is the most important thing."

Mai Sakurajima replied, and then looked out the window. She looked at the Tokyo Tower in the distance, and her indigo eyes were confused and hazy.

"The actor industry is actually very unfair."

It seemed that the unchanging scenery outside the window made her fall into a certain state of contemplation, and said softly.

"Senior, what is the meaning of performing a career?"

Hearing Kaede Sakakibara's question, Mai Sakurajima lowered her eyes. After thinking for a long time, a smile appeared on her face, "Maybe I like it."

"like?"

"It can be said that I am an actor who thinks that I am born for acting, or I like to experience the different flavors brought by other lives, and enrich myself in tasting other people's lives, so as to improve and grow. But to put it bluntly, There is no reason to really like something, liking is liking, and I also like the purity of this liking."

Mai Sakurajima seemed to be stuck in the memories of the past, then turned her head with a chuckle, "Sakakibara junior, what do you think of the interpretation?"

Sakakihara Kaede pretended to be deep, and pointed to his stomach.

"Originally I just wanted to have a meal, but who knew I could become the third male number." Sakakibara Feng raised his eyebrows, pretending to be a gesture, "Director Aoyama knows people with his eyesight. Maxima often has it, but Bole doesn't often have it. He is really a terrible person ah."

Mai Sakurajima bit her lip lightly, looking at trash like eyes.

"If you really want to ask me, I don't have any feelings yet. But after that scene, I fell in love with the character of Kitahara Hiroshi. He is a young man who can only read books and nothing else. He can't handle interpersonal relationships. , taciturn, will only keep silent when bullied, is a transparent figure in the class... such a boy will not have any friends after graduating from high school, and in the end of the three years of high school life is only his own shadow, the future The road is only for him to walk alone.”

"Even such a young man has a dream." Kaede Sakakibara looked out of the window with her chin resting on her cheeks, with the corners of her mouth curled up, imitating Mai Sakurajima and looking up at the blue sky of Tokyo. The sky here is no different from that of Chiba. People, "He wanted to be a doctor, he wanted to heal diseases and save lives, and most importantly, he wanted to heal his own mother. The reality did not overwhelm this young man, he took up his own world."

"Besides, he also has a childhood sweetheart who has been by his side and urged him to move forward. Nishida Orange belongs to Hiroshi Kitahara. Nishida Orange has filled the void in Hiroshi Kitahara's heart, allowing Hiroshi Kitahara to live in the next high school life. Gradually change."

Sakakibara Kaede's words were filled with emotion, and he took a sip of his drink and sighed, "...I also want to shine brighter than anyone else."

Mai Sakurajima looked at his face in surprise, "Ah, why did Junior Sakakibara become sad?"

"I like this line." Kaede Sakakibara laughed, re-opening the unfinished topic just now.

"Senior Sakurajima was in a bad mood after seeing Uehara-kun just now, what happened between you two?"

Kaede Sakakibara put down his chopsticks and looked gossip, but Mai Sakurajima gave him a merciless look.

"I didn't know him at all before I made this movie. I was just lamenting that actors like Uehara have already been stereotyped. He may play the role of school bullying for the rest of his life. There is no possibility of transformation. This is not an acquired factor, but It is innate and cannot be changed."

The male No. [-] who originally matched with Mai Sakurajima is a trainee actor who just graduated. According to Director Aoyama, his acting style has been completely finalized. It has nothing to do with his appearance, but his own problems. If he changes his acting style in a short period of time, his acting career will be extremely short.

However, actors like Uehara are innately caused by factors that allow him to maintain a fixed way of acting. Such actors can only be villains and clowns in movies, without the slightest possibility of transformation.

For example, He Jiaju, the head of the four villains in Hong Kong movies, with such a villainous face, it is difficult for him to play the leading role in the film and television.

"Do you have any plans for the afternoon, Sakakibara-sama?"

"I'm going to visit the University of Tokyo."

"Eh? Is Sakakibara-senpai going to Tokyo University?"
