Tokyo Sound

"That's nothing, it sounds like magic." Sayaka couldn't help laughing, "Teacher, you are really optimistic."

"Miracles and magic do exist," Tsubota said solemnly.

"...I'm actually going to take the entrance exam for Keio University. Before I came here, I never thought that this would happen. This is not good. If my friends find out, they will definitely laugh at me." Sayaka was also happy, but when she saw the look in the teacher's eyes, she thought about it and finally took the pen and filled in the word "Keio" on the volunteer school survey form, like writing on a wish card.

……

"Cut." Yuta Doi said loudly.

The staff immediately stopped their frozen state and started moving quickly.

Yin Ze and Arimura Kasumi walked to the monitor to listen to what the director said.

"It's very good, I have nothing to complain about, just keep it up like this." Yuta Doi gave an excellent evaluation.

"That's good, that's good, I was always worried." Arimura Kasumi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay." Yin Ze was very frugal with his words.

He was not nervous at all and was very comfortable with his work. Although he had just started to make a name for himself in the industry, he already had that sense of being a big shot. Yuta Doi nodded secretly to the actor.

"There is something I need to discuss with you." Izumoto Shuji came over.

"Producer, please speak." Yin Ze said.

"I decided to add a small Easter egg at the end of the film, after the credits are played. The content is very simple and the scene is short, which is about you walking into the gate of Tokyo University and reporting as a freshman." Izumoto Shuji said, "Although Lecturer Tsubota added the setting of being a graduate of Tokyo University, we did not make it clear in the movie, but just slightly showed that there was such a meaning. After all, this is actually about you as an actor in reality. Everything is led by the Easter egg at the end. I believe that after the heroine's efforts throughout the whole movie, the appearance of the Easter egg will definitely make up for the purity of the film."

"I see." Yin Ze expressed his understanding.

"For this, we are going to shoot at the University of Tokyo, and I hope you can help me make the contact," said Shuji Izumoto.

"That's no problem, I promise." Yin Ze said OK.

"That's great." Izumoto Shuji didn't expect the other party to be so sure. Could it be that he had made great achievements even in the University of Tokyo, where there were so many geniuses? Was he an outstanding student?

...The old dean is very concerned about promoting the school, and it was just a matter of taking pictures at the school gate, and it could be settled over the phone.

Chapter 64: Destiny is like a weave, it should be like a rock

"Do you know the Three Heroes of Nagoya? They refer to Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. If you don't understand the meaning of EIKETSU, you should look it up in the dictionary." said Mr. Tsubota.

"I didn't bring it because it was too heavy to put in my bag," said Sayaka.

"You need to prepare the basic tools. You are allowed to bring two dictionaries to the Keio Faculty of Literature English entrance exam. It's a big disadvantage if everyone has them but you don't. This is a list of recommended dictionaries I have compiled for your reference." Teacher Tsubota took out a piece of paper and began to write book titles.

"Thank you, teacher." Sayaka said.

"By the way, have you always had blonde hair? Won't the school criticize you?" Teacher Tsubota asked curiously.

"No, I will dye it like this during the summer vacation." Sayaka said and showed her summer entertainment schedule, "I have made an appointment with my friends, and everything is planned in an orderly manner, including where to go and what to play."

"There's really nothing I can do about you... haha, but if you slack off in your studies because of this, you will be punished." Teacher Tsubota laughed sinisterly twice, and his eyes were not clear because of the reflection from his black-framed glasses.

"Is it possible?" Sayaka's face changed.

"What is the verb "be" added to in the present continuous tense?" Teacher Tsubota asked the question at a very fast speed and started counting down directly, "5, 4, 3..."

"Is it starting already?" Sayaka was a little anxious, and gradually began to talk nonsense, "There are only the verbs of Be, right? That, that and that, remember the jingle before, the subject is at the beginning of the sentence, am, is, are follow, and now something and that follows, the other components cannot be lost--"

"2, 1. Out!" Teacher Tsubota laughed, "As punishment, you are not allowed to wear false eyelashes."

"I can't use foundation anymore. If I continue like this, I'll only get uglier." Sayaka wailed, but since they had made an agreement in advance, she kept her word and took off the eyelash stickers.

"Don't worry, as long as you can get the answers right tomorrow, you can put on beautiful makeup again." Teacher Tsubota encouraged.

"Hmph, it's you, teacher. If you don't dress up, you'll be less and less popular with the opposite sex." Sayaka counterattacked.

"You're being rude. When I was in college, I had long, fashionable hair that was so attractive that it would kill everyone." Teacher Tsubota seemed to be pretending to be strong. When he said this, even the students sitting in other seats laughed and looked over here.

"Is this true? I want to see the photos!" Sayaka even pulled her classmates along, "You all want to see them, right?"

"Want to see it!"

"I want to see where the teacher's confidence comes from!"

"Well, if you can finish your high school English studies this summer, I will hand you the photo with both hands." Teacher Tsubota challenged in a deep voice.

"I'll get it done quickly," Sayaka said in a low voice with the same coolness.

……

"Cut." Doi Yuta shouted, "This one is OK. Take a break. The next one will start in 20 minutes."

"Thank you for your hard work." The actors all relaxed and returned to their most comfortable state.

Everyone got up and went to moisturize and touch up their makeup.

"It's rare to see you reviewing the script. How do you usually prepare for your scenes?" Arimura Kasumi took out a portable script note to strengthen his memory. At the same time, he looked curiously at the male supporting actor who was leaning back in the chair, doing nothing, with a very Buddhist attitude.

"My personal habit is to memorize words at home." Yin Ze remained paralyzed and nodded slightly.

"What if you forget when the time comes?" asked Kasumi Arimura.

"It is precisely because I never leave myself a way out that I can push myself to the limit time and time again." Master Yin has always been very thick-skinned and is very good at making up such high-sounding excuses.

Little did they know that even the cunning hound, who was also full of nonsense, had been deceived by someone in the early stage. He thought he was still innocent, but ended up being full of wildness.

"That's amazing." Arimura Kasumi exclaimed in awe.

The workplace in the entertainment industry is already a high-pressure environment. Comedians have to sell their jobs and their dignity, but they have to take the initiative to increase the pressure and receive additional training.

The NG rate is extremely low. He always arrives on time every day, as precise as a machine. As a top voice actor, he integrates into the film and television work and switches between the two businesses without any discomfort. To be able to operate so smoothly and not panic, he must have a detailed schedule every day, right? Strict execution day after day, growing and moving forward like a robot!

What a self-disciplined existence this is.

Arimura Kajun bared his teeth, inspired by his co-star, then cheered himself up and continued to recite his lines.

Yin Ze was also frowning in thought, as if he was recalling his perfect plan for the mechanical warrior.

What should I eat tonight...the refrigerator at home is empty, and I haven't taken out the garbage when I went out this morning. It seems that the supermarket is having a sale today, but my coupon is still next to the bed. Hey, why are the things in life conflicting with each other?

"Everyone, I just received a call. A scene shot in a coffee shop has to be postponed, and the next scene has also been postponed, so let's go straight to lunch and take a longer break at noon." Yuta Doi came over and announced.

"Okay, okay." Yin Ze paused to think and was the first to respond. He would attack in the form of a food critic.

The van downstairs brought lunch boxes, and the male supporting actor rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to join the team, working together, talking and laughing cheerfully, which greatly increased his favorability. As the porter, he could naturally get the food first.

Yin Ze returned with three boxes of lunch in his arms, satisfied.

The makeup artist sister hadn't gotten her meal yet. Although she saw someone had three servings, she knew what was going on and went to queue up herself.

"Hey, you brought so much, so I don't have to queue up, just give me some." Chu Yuan Xiu Si said when he saw this.

Why do these producers like to share their meals? They are so lazy and privileged! Master Yin didn't want to compromise this time. He walked and said like a photocopier: "I'll eat three boxes, I'll eat three boxes, I'll eat three boxes."

"Got it, got it." Izumoto Shuji was shocked by the burning enthusiasm for eating.

Find a place to sit down, lift the lid, fan away the steam, and scan the dishes with the gourmet's eyes.

Wow, it turned out to be shredded potatoes, deep-fried pork chops, thick omelette, shrimp rice balls... uh, it seems there is no need for wow.

But overall it was OK, the pork chop and omelette were very well prepared, delicately made and fried firmly, the shrimp in the rice ball was also a big piece, nothing to fault. In the final analysis, it may be that the expectations were too high.

On the set of Knight, the food under the supervision of Shirakura is improving every day. At first, it was boxed lunches, then they found restaurants to pre-order set meals in bulk, and finally they hired chefs to drive food trucks to the set to fry food freshly, ensuring that it is fresh. The welfare is being improved. Even the director was surprised and said that this might be a disguise of alien insects, and asked everyone to be vigilant, because there might be parts in the food that can turn humans into monsters.

No matter what Shirakura-kun says, in addition to being the boss of Knight, he is also a senior executive of Toei and a member of the board of directors. His say is not limited to the Knight series. It is human nature for him to want to eat something good on the set with limited conditions, enjoy the official tone, and rent a motorhome to rest! (Big mistake)

It's a pity that no Toho executives are involved in the current movie. Otherwise, wouldn't it be great if everyone could steal the food together?

After thinking it over for a while, I came to my senses and found myself wolfing down the food.

After Yin Ze finished two servings, the makeup artist sister came back from fetching food and sat directly next to him, staring at him while eating. Yin Ze moved to the left uncomfortably, and the makeup artist sister also moved.

"...What are you looking at?" Yin Ze was a little scared when he was stared at.

"I'm just thinking about how to put on makeup. Don't worry about it. It's all work." The makeup artist explained.

According to the plot, the male supporting role has to show a photo from his college years, so he has to change his appearance. Yin Ze can of course use his college photos to deal with it, but it is the character who shows the photo, not him. And he has already been confirmed to be in the Easter egg at the end of the movie.

"It's said that there is long hair, so do you have any ideas?" Yin Ze asked.

"Of course, more than a decade ago, it was the time when long ears and big hair were popular." The makeup artist sister said, "Then add frog-shaped glasses, no, not silly enough, should be big black-framed glasses with reflective glasses to cover the eyes completely."

"Wear a pair of bell-bottom pants, a floral shirt, and hold a speaker with disco music tapes playing on it, right?" Yin Ze said in a familiar manner.

"So you know a lot about it?" The makeup artist sister was surprised.

"It's okay. I prefer retro art." Yin Ze said.

"But the requirements require that the background should be in a pasture, and there should be many sheep behind the characters. What should we do? Where can we take the photos after putting on makeup?" The makeup artist sister was in a happy state of worry. She chuckled, "Do we need to form a two-person team and take a ride to a rural pasture to collect materials, and then launch a three-day and two-night public-funded operation..."

"That's not that difficult." Yin Ze smiled disdainfully, "Just go online and find a picture of a public pasture, and put it together in Photoshop."

"Your background is too fake." The makeup artist questioned.

"That depends on who is doing it. Will the pictures I edit look fake because of the lighting?" Yin Ze snorted. For an aesthetic master who has mastered the techniques, realism is not difficult at all. How to paint like a child, as well as many philosophical elements and ideas, are what he should explore at this level.

"Uh, uh, if we use public photos, it's easy to have the same photos as others, which is not good." The makeup artist sister was still resisting.

"I'm not just going to use one. I can just put a dozen together." Yin Ze waved his hand. Let alone just putting together a background. At his level, if he switched to film and television concept design, he would be able to do it on an international level.

Even though I was timid in the Japanese Literature Department of the Language and Culture Division of the University of Tokyo, I was a very capable person in the Art History classroom next door.

You can slander other things about me, but you cannot question my artistic level.

I was forced to mock universities across the country on the podium of the Most Beautiful Face finals!

But I have repeatedly overthrown my superiors in the art world, I am really crazy!

The difference between men and women is reflected.

Yin Ze had a domineering look on his face, wondering who was claiming to be invincible, who was claiming to be undefeated, and they were not there during the Renaissance.

The makeup artist had a resentful expression on her face, thinking that he would rather work hard on the puzzle than take a photo with her.

"After you change your clothes, put a piece of solid-colored cloth behind the wall and take the photo again, so that it will be easier for me to cut out the picture." Yin Ze said.

"There is no picture, only an eye chart." For the first time, the makeup artist sister answered cruelly and coldly.

“?” Yin Ze.

"What are you going to do during your lunch break?" The makeup artist's coldness only lasted for a second.

"Oh, we had an appointment before. I'm going to play cards with the assistant director." Yin Ze was itching to play.

“?” Makeup artist sister.

……

In the quiet coffee shop, two teachers sat opposite each other and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"Our school basically allows students to go directly to the universities within the school. We do not encourage students to apply to other universities." The man in a suit said calmly, "I heard about your cram school. It seems that you are not doing well, so the poor students that other cram schools don't like are accepted by you, right?"

"Some students may be excluded in school, and I want to help them." Pingtian put his hands on his knees with a humble attitude.

"But please stop inciting Kudo in our class." The teacher in a suit said slowly, "If you want to be admitted to Keio University, you have to get a good score in the top 2% of all candidates who take the exam. Kudo, with a deviation value of 30, is in the bottom 2%. Assuming there are 70 people taking the exam, that means she must surpass 96% of them, which is 67 people. She can't do it."

"I also know that this is a difficult challenge..." said Tsubota.

"——Even if you study a little, it's not possible." The teacher in the suit interrupted the other party.

"In my eyes, there are no useless students, only teachers who give up on them." Pingtian raised his eyes.

"You are so confident. Haha, then according to your approach, has any student ever been admitted to Keio University?" asked the teacher in the suit.

"There was a child who was admitted to the University of Tokyo. Because of my experience, I believe in them," said Teacher Tsubota.

"Ha, after Keio, even Todai is moving out." The teacher in the suit sneered, "I've read the information of your cram school. Not to mention Todai, so far, no one has ever been admitted to Keio. What you said is just a lie made up by the institution to attract business."

"It will start now. Sayaka will definitely succeed." said Tsubota.

"A scumbag like her is impossible," the suit teacher asserted.

"Sayaka is not a scumbag. She is passionate and an excellent girl." Teacher Tsubota's voice became heavier. "Please stop doing this. Students who are described as scumbags by their teachers will really see themselves that way and will no longer believe in their own potential."

"I was like that in the past," Mr. Tsubota whispered. "It was the teacher at that time who held my hand. So, I want to help these children."

The teacher in the suit was silent for a few seconds, then clapped his hands symbolically.

"You say it very nicely. But in the end, you are just a cram school instructor who only cares about making money. You can do it by simply encouraging others to do it, but when it fails, you will blame yourself and attribute the failure to the students' own incompetence. In the end, all you get is negativity. There are too many people like you in the market."

"So it's definitely not just talk. Sayaka and I are trying our best. Since you have specially investigated the information and management status of the cram school, why don't you take some time to verify whether what we are doing is a lie or we are really working hard?" Teacher Tsubota said in a deep voice.

"Still such beautiful words. I hope you really know what you are doing. Challenging yourself is never an easy thing, and it is also the thing that makes you feel desperate. I have nothing more to say now, so let's stop here today. I'm leaving first." The teacher in the suit took out the money for his coffee and put it on the table, then got up and left.
