In contrast, her junior, the leading actress Higuchi Madoka, is really empty-headed and probably doesn't appear on the show except during working hours.

After filling in the self-introduction with an interesting soul, Sakakibara Kaede followed Iida-san's instructions and attached her own comment while forwarding the message.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kaede Sakakibara who plays Kitahara Hiroshi. As a newcomer who just debuted about a week ago, I'm very happy to be involved in the filming plan of STARS." Sakakibara Kaede typed while Iida-san nodded and silently read. After confirming that everything was correct, he moved on to the next line, "What color is youth? I think for most people, it is flawless white. Every day, we accept new things, our worldview is impacted and changed little by little, and our thoughts about the future will definitely change."

"After graduating from high school and college, what color will my flawless white skin eventually become? I am afraid, but I am also looking forward to it."

"TBS will air the daily lives of our high school students at 10pm on Friday night. What color is their youth?"

Sakakibara Kaede didn't pause, but typed the words smoothly. Iida-san was checking on him, and after a while he looked up, "Sakakibara-kun, are you a liberal arts major? You speak eloquently."

"Science." Sakakibara Kaede pushed his non-existent black-framed glasses.

Iida Kei was silenced for the second time.

After confirming that everything was correct, he clicked forward, then stood up and looked at his watch. "It's almost time, Sakakibara-kun, follow me."

The middle-aged agent with sparse hair turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth. "Today is the first day of the TV series' release. I'm here to pick you up and go to the STARS agency to see the results."

Sakakibara Kaede was a little uninterested, as he had already left work at this hour. He would rather stay on the tatami, eat his lunch box and watch TV than stay in the office.

Iida Kei sneered, "Don't forget, Sakakibara-kun, the office cafeteria is a buffet."

He - turned the game around.

Chapter 21: The Young Man Who Stirs the Heart

How to eat buffet without losing money.

First, come to the sashimi area, place the sashimi elegantly on the plate, pour a layer of soy sauce and add a little mustard to satisfy your taste buds.

Then we came to the vegetarian area, steamed garlic and blanched oyster sauce. The green color symbolizes life and can bring a hint of coolness to the stomach.

Finally, it is most appropriate to eat high-protein and high-calorie cooked food, such as steak, pork chops and other meats as the end of a buffet.

Tonight's main course is teriyaki pork chop.

Sakakibara Kaede had no interest in team-building activities. In his opinion, they were just a few more reasons to work overtime.

If you work overtime until 6 o'clock, dinner will be reimbursed. If you work overtime until 10 o'clock, car fare will be provided. If you work overtime until 1 o'clock in the morning, there will be a lottery. If you work overtime until 3 o'clock the next day, there will be massage services. If you work overtime until 6 o'clock the next day, there will be a hearty breakfast, etc.

Damn, is this the power of money?

Sakakibara Kaede cursed at the evil capitalism in his heart while stuffing the pork chop into his mouth.

Do not eat white do not eat.

"here we go."

Sakakibara Kaede quickly cleaned up the mess on the plate and pushed the door open to enter the audio-visual room.

At a glance, all the actors who were supposed to be there were there. In addition to them, Director Aoyama and Director Nakagawa, there were several people in formal attire sitting in the back row. It was not difficult to tell that they were senior executives of STARS.

"How was dinner?" Iida Kei raised his eyebrows at him proudly and asked him to sit down next to him. Sakakibara Kaede didn't hesitate and sat down on the soft sofa.

"If my home wasn't too far from the office, I would like to live here."

Kaede Sakakibara yawned. He was a little tired after a whole day of work.

In this regard, Kei Iida made good arrangements for him and arranged a work location close to home for him, otherwise Kaede Sakakibara would have to squeeze into the subway on weekdays in the cold weather.

Outside the window are the lights of thousands of homes in Tokyo, and million-dollar flames are shining brightly under the blue sky.

Setagaya Ward, luxurious residence.

Friday night at ten o'clock is a rare rest time. Koichiro Yuki relaxed his body, organized the homework he brought home from school and put it on the table, then walked down the stairs with a cup of water.

He heard the sound of a TV program in the living room. After refilling his teacup with water, he came to the living room.

"Father, Mother, Asuna."

The head of the Yuki family, Yuki Shozo, nodded slightly to his son, "It's better to come back a day earlier. Although your mother doesn't say it, she still misses you very much... Are you still not considering living back home?"

The first two sentences were full of majesty, but the tone softened when he spoke the last sentence.

Yuuki Koichiro sat down next to his mother Yuuki Kyoko and shook his head to refuse, "Father, I still want to cultivate my independence, and it will be more convenient to contact professors at school."

There was one thing he didn't say, which was that he wanted to enter his father's company based on his own abilities, not his status.

"You should be happy that Koichiro has become so successful." Kyoko Yuki chimed in. She gently patted her son's hand beside her, then turned to Yuki Shozo and said, "He's grown up already. It's a good thing to let go of him early."

"Uh... yes."

Yuki Shozo opened his mouth, then silently picked up the TV remote control and changed the channel.

"My stupid sister, what are you looking at?" Yuki Koichiro noticed that his sister was thinking hard while holding a tablet computer, so he leaned over and said, "Let me see."

"Brother, you're really..." Yuuki Asuna's chestnut hair swayed slightly, and she pouted. Knowing that she couldn't hide it from her brother, she said honestly, "Mom wants me to find a university of my choice."

“So fast—”

"It's not going to be soon." Kyoko Yuuki once again declared her status as the mistress. "Asuna will be a sophomore in high school next spring, and it's time to decide which university to go to. Koichiro, you've already decided to go to the University of Tokyo, right?"

"Uh... yes."

The second man of the Yuki family was speechless and drank water silently.

Seeing this, Yuuki Asuna covered her mouth and chuckled. Her cheerful laughter brought a lot of vitality.

The living room gradually became quiet, and the family of four each went about their own business in a harmonious atmosphere.

The noisy football commentary on TV was directly changed by Yuki Shozo, and humorous and relaxing music sounded. As the picture changed, a starry sky appeared on the TV screen.

"Hiro-chan..."

"We're already in high school, don't call me Hong-chan."

The cold male voice tickled Koichiro Yuuki's heart, and his eyes moved from his mobile phone to the TV.

He was deeply impressed by the voice.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The boy was wearing a black school uniform, his back was straight, like a steadfast pine tree. His short black hair was sparsely groomed and fluttered gently in the evening breeze, and his steps were firm and long.

The moonlight slanted down, giving the boy a layer of fluorescence, and his tall back made people feel dazed.

Koichiro Yuki was very anxious as he couldn't see the boy's face. His eyes were fixed on the screen. The starry sky and the man made him intoxicated.

Yuki Shozo leaned back and thought about how he was also a suave and young man like this in the past. However, he was not as lucky as the character in the drama who had a childhood sweetheart by his side.

In an instant, my thoughts turned into a thousand circles.

"Don't ever call me that at school."

The young man looked back suddenly, his azure blue eyes were purer than the starry sky, with a teardrop mole dotted at the corner of his eye. The words he uttered were indifferent and calm, like a gentle breeze blowing by his ears, making people linger.

"puff!"

Koichiro Yuki almost spit out his tea and his cell phone fell on his lap.

Sometimes he would dream of the scene of that afternoon, dreaming of two like-minded people moving forward on this path together, and the game results they completed were amazing.

He is the protagonist in the dream, and the supporting role is this handsome young man.

"You're so surprised. What's wrong?"

Facing his mother's question, Yuki Koichiro cleared his throat and said, "I know this actor. He is a senior high school student who visited Tokyo University last week and wants to study science at Tokyo University. We have similar interests and hobbies, and in the end, we met Dean Kimura and chatted for a while."

At the end, he added, "This junior helped me change the code format, and now it is much easier to use."

Yuki Shozo hummed and patted the armrest of the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking.

Kyoko Yuuki looked away from the data on the tablet and glanced at the half-exposed boy with a frown. "There are only a handful of entertainers who go to university, let alone the University of Tokyo. If you don't study hard for the entrance exam in November of your senior year, can you really get into university?"

At this moment, the boy on TV was looking up at the starry sky, his lips curled up, his smile was like a thawing spring breeze, his eyes staring straight at the unclear and intangible future.

“I want to shine brighter than anyone else in the world.”

Koichiro Yuki picked up the phone again, his lips curled up again. He did not refute his mother Kyoko Yuki's words because he knew it didn't make much sense.

For some reason, he suddenly had enough confidence in this junior fellow student who he had only met once but seemed like a long-time friend.

Maybe it was his knowledge, or maybe it was because of his conversation.

Koichiro Yuki opened Line, quickly edited a message, and sent it to the young man who was shining on TV.

Yuuki Asuna blinked her eyes, her attention completely attracted by the TV series.

"Tell me the truth, is that you on the late night TV show?"

"..."

"You still don't admit it. I'd recognize your face even if it turned into ashes."

The man slowly put the biscuits on the table into his mouth and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Was he exposed so quickly?

"Yuuki-senpai, people need to eat, and I also need to work."

"You mean working part-time and appearing on TV to become an artist?" Yuki Koichiro typed quickly, "I've heard that filming is very busy and you have to go to different work locations every day."

"I only work four days a week, and the rest of the time I study for the college entrance exam."

Sakakibara Kaede saw something in the other person's words and replied calmly, "The filming location is at Toyosaki Academy. I often go to the library during breaks."

After seeing the message, Koichiro Yuki nodded slightly. He had also heard of Toyonosaki Academy. It was considered a good private high school where he could study during his spare time while filming. He was indeed a junior and a master of time management.

"If you have time, come out for dinner."

Chapter 22 The Color of Youth

Xiaolangjun filmed the second episode at Fengzhizaki Academy.

Friday’s prime-time TV series is no joke, and it’s received a good response from our high school students on a daily basis, at least the reviews online are mostly positive.

His official Twitter account actually has followers, but currently only has a few hundred people.

Xiao Langjun doesn't have many scenes in the first episode, and the same is true in the second episode. Apart from the scenes in the classroom, he only has one personal plot.

Sakakibara Kaede patted her face which was slightly stiffened by the cold wind, relaxed her body after director Aoyama called out "NG", sat back in her seat and drank some water.

The protagonists of this scene are the male lead and the second male lead, and he is just a supporting role.

After browsing Twitter for a while, it was clear that all the comments were praising the netizens who wrote reviews after watching the movie. I saw a forwarded post titled "On the Quality of the New Generation of Artists" and clicked on it.

Naturally, the blogger first praised several experienced artists from STARS. Among them, Mai Sakurajima, who debuted as a child star, received special attention, and all her past performances and commercials were dug up. In addition to the blogger's enjoyment of Kashima Yuu's acting as a man, Xiao Langjun's performance at the beginning of the first episode really amazed him.

Although his role in the subsequent plot is only relatively negative bullying, the blogger believes that the young man will be able to rise from the ashes in the next episodes.

"It was a very touching performance, and all the emotions were expressed in the description of his facial expressions. Kitahara Hiroshi didn't say much, and he expressed even less, but in that clip, we saw the boy's high spirits and seemingly childish dreams. The new actor who played Kitahara Hiroshi in that clip was smooth in his eyes, words, and actions, and even fought back and forth with Ms. Sakurajima, and they were on par with each other. Is this really an actor who just debuted a week ago?"

Finally, the blogger ended his description by expressing his hope that there would be more and more new generation artists who would once again take up the banner of the entertainment industry.

Sakakibara Kaede rubbed his cheeks, feeling a little numb from all the compliments. He wondered if anyone had scolded him for his poor acting skills.

He really missed the Anti-Pressure Bar. Any words and deeds that happened in real life could be discussed in a friendly manner for hundreds of floors in the Anti-Pressure Bar.

He even thought of a title for his own account, "This actor Kitahara Hiroshi's acting is awkward and awful. Is this the quality of an artist who debuted a week ago? You don't understand or know."

Just when he was about to do so, Director Aoyama gestured to everyone again, and everyone left their seats and moved to the window, looking at the physical education students running on the playground.

Kaede Sakakibara lagged behind the crowd, standing one step behind the others. He was the kind of aloof person who disdained to fit in with others. This was certainly not his intention, it was just the arrangement of the plot.

In his eyes, there is no one else, no Nishida Orange, only the sky. There is a kind of clear stream that is not entangled with this worldly world, and it is an artistic conception that can only be viewed from a distance and not desecrated.

There is no rivalry between him and Mai Sakurajima in this episode, only the vicissitudes of being a lonely wolf in the wind.

The plot in the morning class was almost over. After finishing his meal, he followed the crew to the library, where he would have his personal plot.

The person guiding him this time was Director Aoyama. After arriving at the library, he began to direct the installation of equipment - some of it had already been installed in the morning, and now all he needed to do was adjust the camera position, etc.

There were still many students from Toyosaki Academy in the library. They had long been interested in the crew that was filming a TV series in the academy. Even though the teachers repeatedly emphasized the importance of studying and not being distracted, the students' curiosity had already flown to the crew.

Thanks to this, most students have watched the TV series Our Daily Life of High School Students, and they are also the fans who recommend it to others the most. They brag about it to everyone they meet, saying that I appeared in the show for a few minutes or seconds.

Xiao Langjun and the filming crew naturally received a lot of attention. His performance in the first episode was not perfect, but it was also remarkable and he was not one of those supporting roles that left no impression.

"Aren't you going to get them an autograph?" Director Aoyama joked with Sakakibara Kaede while leaning against the wall. "Do you know how many female students Kashima-kun has wanted her autograph, or at least a word or two, in the past two weeks?"

"It's working time now." Sakakibara raised his eyebrows, "Director Aoyama, you are trying to trap me!"
