Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

"I hope everything goes well for Mochizuki-san."

"This is what I want to say to Ultraman Tiga."

Mochizuki, who was already tired and sweating profusely, with curly hair sticking to his forehead, stood in front of the interview room, facing the bright light like the rising sun, and bowed gently:

"Even if I may not have the opportunity to participate in the latest Ultraman in the future, I still hope that the Ultraman series can be revived and stand in front of us again."

"........LOL, really?"

Seeing that the young man in front of him, who was obviously quite shivering, actually left such a sentence to himself before leaving, the already old Koichi Takano couldn't help laughing:

"Then, let's work together?"

"Come on, come on..."

Although his voice was obviously shy, his steps were a little disordered, and his smile was a little stiff, the young man still bowed and thanked the seniors in front of him with his most serious attitude.

"Click" sound.

The door to the audition room closes.

Mochizuki faced the gradually dimming sky and followed his friends on the way home.

.........

It is getting late, and the rainbow clouds are hanging over the sky.

Jinchuan Yu went back with his little girlfriend again. The young man had no choice but to sigh and prepare to go home with 14-year-old Xu Yuhuai.

Accompanying Xu Yuhuai, he got on the tram and looked at the Tokyo street scene outside the window. Mochizuki looked at the scenery outside the window and didn't say a word for a long time.

"...Brother Mochizuki~ヾ(????)ノ~, you are in a daze~"

Gently poking Wang Yueli's face, Xu Yuhuai smiled, his dark green eyes as bright as ever:

"What's wrong? Did the audition go well? Can you share it with us?"

"...Audition?"

Turning his head slightly, he looked at the brown-haired girl who was poking his cheek. After a moment of silence, the boy slowly spoke:

"Everything went well, and the seniors all gave high praise... All we have to do is wait for the information."

"Wow, that's great~(?`?????)~"

"...Since you asked me, you must have done a good job in the audition, right?"

After recovering from his fugue, Mochizuki held his chin and looked at Xu Yuhuai in front of him with a curious expression:

"How about it? Did the interview with the heroine Lina turn out great?"

"How should I put it...it's okay."

Patting his neck gently, Xu Yuhuai recalled the situation carefully, with a complicated expression:

"Because I'm only 14 years old, and I don't really fit in with Lina in terms of age - although I will be 15 years old in December, the effect after makeup is pretty good, but after all, some things are really flawed, so I don't know what can be done. It can’t be done…”

"Anyway, come on~"

Gently rubbing Xu Yuhuai's furry little head, Mochizuki couldn't help but feel a little affection on her expression when looking at the girl in front of her who was no different from a kitten.

As a new actor, Xu Yuhuai's choice to take the path of special photography is indeed very prescient.

........ Newcomers who have just debuted urgently need to be well-known, but because they have little acting experience, it is generally difficult to star in prime-time TV series or movies - and if they participate in tokusatsu dramas or participate in some early childhood education films, If you debut as a righteous hero or a friendly big brother or sister, you can leave a positive impression and reputation among children.

Although all three major special shots have come to an end, and Ultraman has been suspended for decades, there are actually some low-quality special shots that stretch the hips, and they have become the starting point for many young actors.

Fortunately, this time we encountered a reboot of the Ultraman series, and the production budget and production standards will be at a good level due to Consortium B. Otherwise, Huaizi would not know what kind of inferior tokusatsu drama to star in. ...

"...So, I'm really looking forward to playing a role in Ultraman's drama or something??o?o??!"

Although it is not yet clear that she will be able to star in "Ultraman Tiga", the girl is very interested and her expression is quite serious:

"If you think about it carefully, this seems to be the first time we have participated in a drama-style tokusatsu work with a non-romance theme, right (?o?o?)?"

"...That's right."

Although he wanted to complain that he and Xu Yuhuai had only acted in one TV series, Mochizuki couldn't bear to pout given the heated atmosphere.

And... speaking with conscience, Mochizuki has always been fascinated by the special photo drama "Ultraman Tega", and even looked forward to it with quite enthusiasm——

"Hope everything goes well..."

Responding gently to Xu Yuhuai, Mochizuki leaned on his seat, his expression showing quite gentleness.

"Haha??????(???*)?! Brother Mochizuki is really excited too, right? About participating in Ultraman!"

"...Of course. After all, becoming a light has been my dream since childhood."

Patting his head gently, Mochizuki looked at the scenery outside the window, with a faint sense of nostalgia in his voice:

"Didn't I tell you that when I was young, my grandparents loved to watch Ultraman from the Showa era with me, and they would also buy me pirated Ultra figures, that guy Dayu-sensei It was because of Ultraman that I first met...For me, the Ultraman series that died long ago is my memory."

"........Yeah?"

Hearing what Mochizuki said, Xu Yuhuai fell into silence.

After a while, the girl held her chin thoughtfully and looked at the boy sitting next to her seriously:

"Brother Mochizuki's grandparents must have been very gentle people - just like Brother Jinchuan."

"Yeah...they are all very gentle people."

Patting his head gently, Mochizuki said:

"I remember when I was a kid, they used to laugh at me, saying that I watched those men in leather jackets jumping up and down all day long. They also said that it was not fun at all, and they didn't understand why I loved watching it. But even if they kept nagging like this all day long, it wouldn't matter if my parents weren't around. When I was young, they still loved to stay with me, sitting in front of the big ass TV and watching Ultraman episodes full of snowflakes, and they would also reward me with Ultraman models because I was obedient - even though those when I grew up I just found out it was a pirated version, but I was really happy when I received it as a kid, and I even felt more positive about eating."

"Really... I didn't expect that such an old-fashioned Brother Mochizuki would still have such a time."

"Who hasn't had childhood yet..."

Looking at the gradually darkening sky.

The young man was silent for a moment and then slowly spoke:

"However, after so many years, many things have slowly changed: the grandparents who watched Ultraman with me when I was a child have passed away one after another, the toy store that sold pirated Ultraman has also closed down, and even the nearby residents have closed down one after another. Now that I have moved away, many of my childhood memories seem to be slowly disappearing.”

“Sometimes I always think: The reason why people find a certain period of time particularly unforgettable is because there are so many nostalgic silhouettes during this period: maybe it’s squatting at home with the squeaking fan on in the summer. Look at Guiman's sparks flashing; maybe he is sitting under the eaves, expecting the red and white giant to come to him; or maybe he is clumsily playing with the transformer in his hand, imagining that he becomes Ultraman and protects the earth. ........ Childish fantasies and yesterday's rainbows fly by in the flower-like fleeting time. The long-gone light and shadow of yesterday become an amber-like time that can be constantly recalled, lingering at the end of the dream. Burning - when the last trace of childishness burns out and no light can be ignited, you will almost become a boring adult... Although it is a pity, this is how most people grow up. of."

"...Brother Mochizuki, this topic is so heavy."

"That's not the case, it's just something I felt for no reason."

Leaning gently on the seat of the moving train, the silent young man couldn't help but laugh twice:

"But fortunately, I haven't grown up yet. I'm still close to four years away from adulthood. I still have some time to do what I want to do -"

"Do you know why I want to participate in Ultraman, Huaizi?"

"Why, why?"

"Because I stayed with my grandma during the last hour before she left."

Leaning on the tram seat, the boy's voice was calm:

"When the old lady was dying, her consciousness was actually in a trance. At that time, I kept holding her hand, hoping to regain her consciousness - but I didn't expect that she started to have hallucinations and started nagging about me squatting on the TV station when I was a child. Ultraman even tied a torn towel around his neck to make a cape, cosplaying as the Ultra King. He really looked like an idiot and made him angry just by looking at him."

"But...even though she said so many unpleasant things, grandma still touched my head and said this to me:"

'But... I just like you like this. '

'I hope that when grandma is gone, you can become a brave man like Ultraman. '

That's it.

The young man turned his head and looked at Hongxia.

I don't know if it's because of the sky or because of my emotions.

The girl always felt that the boy's eyes were slightly red:

"...Actually, I have always been quite guilty. I feel that the older I get, the farther and farther away from the word brave I am, and the older I get, the closer I feel to being lonely. In addition to insisting that I actually have many friends , I am actually becoming more and more cowardly——"

"But...if I really have this opportunity, I at least want to try to change it."

"After all, when my grandma was leaving, she held my hand as tightly as she did when she was a child and said this to me:"

'...We need a hero, a hero is inevitable. '

"I want to be her hero."

...........

Two days later.

The call from the production crew started ringing.

"Mr. Mochizuki, your audition result for the crew of "Ultraman Tega" is passed. Please prepare your ID and seal, and go to the Human Resources Office to sign the contract yourself or through your agent. Thank you for your cooperation."

The phone is hung up.

Mochizuki put down the phone tremblingly and looked at the empty room, the expression on his face instantly froze.

finally--

A loud cheer that lasted for tens of seconds rang out in the small room.

And 5 minutes later.

(Actor's family)

Tsugawa Yu: Family, the results are out, how are you?

Mochizuki: It's okay, let's play normally.

Xu Yuhuai: I got the starring position! (??ω?｀)! ! !Very happy!I thought I would lose!

Tsugawa Yu: I also got a character called Shinjo.It’s really incredible. I thought I had no chance at all. I always felt like there was an inexplicable and mysterious force silently blessing us!

Xu Yuhuai: Hehe... So what's going on with Brother Wangyue?Could you please elaborate?

Mochizuki: .....I got the role of Daegu.

Tsugawa Yu:?

Xu Yuhuai:?

Xu Yuhuai: Wait, wait, wait... So, Brother Wangyue is actually the biggest winner? !

Mochizuki: It’s okay. It was within my expectations and I wasn’t too excited to get the starring role.

Tsugawa Yu: Someone barked, I won’t say who it was.

Xu Yuhuai: Humph, you said it so powerfully. Brother Wangyue must be so excited that his legs are weak now. If I guessed correctly, he is probably paralyzed on the sofa and motionless←_←

Mochizuki:?

Feeling like he was being watched, Mochizuki immediately stood up from the sofa. His expression, which was slightly out of control due to overexcitement, slowly returned to his normal expression at this moment.

After a long time, the young man typed out this text -

Mochizuki: What a joke...Do I look like a kid who gets so excited just because of these little things?

Tsugawa Yu: Like.

Xu Yuhuai: Like.

Mochizuki: Come on, don't talk nonsense... I finally got the leading role in my favorite tokusatsu drama. Can you say something nice or arrange some programs to celebrate?If I go out with you, I don't mind.

Tsugawa Yu: Oh?Do you want to celebrate - no problem, then let's hold a team building, go out for a meal around [-] o'clock tomorrow, and then take a walk, see if you can play video games or do something else, how about that?

Mochizuki: No problem.After all, it is obvious that my electric skills are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even Kurihara next door is no match for me.If you really decide to go play with me, remember to be mentally prepared——

(Jugawa Yu, has left the group chat.)

(Xu Yuhuai has left the group chat.)

"?"

Looking at the inexplicable and outrageous scene in front of him, Mochizuki's expression was slightly tense.

but........

"Pfft."

Inexplicable joy appeared at this moment.

For some reason, in this nonsense-like daily life, the young man felt more and more like he had returned to the light and airy days of his childhood, which were full of adventures.
