They all pushed me!

"You seem to like him."

Shojiro Nakazawa naturally understood the implication of Takahashi Yuya's words. He glanced at the other party and spoke in a neutral tone.

"Of course. After all, I said at the production press conference before that I hope to create a handsome and powerful Kamen Rider that both children and adults will want to see in this era."

Takahashi Yuya stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air:

"Star of the stars of the stars."

“The physical condition is really good.”

Shojiro Nakazawa nodded without comment. The main human forms of the Kamen Rider series are all good-looking, but even with so many predecessors setting great examples, Kitagawa Ryo's looks are still the best in terms of appearance.

Of course, he had read the script written by Yuya Takahashi before. Unlike the previous protagonists, the human body of the main rider of "Kamen Rider Jayhawk" is itself a world-class star, which is the setting of "star among stars among stars" that Yuya Takahashi just talked about.

In real life, Ryo Kitagawa, who is also one of the top traffic stars, might be able to perform this feeling.

"Then let him come over then."

Nakazawa Shojiro stroked his chin and said:

“I am actually a little interested.”

-------------------------------------

The auditions for the Kamen Rider series have always been one of the industry's grand events. After all, in the past few decades, too many unknown actors have become famous overnight thanks to the popularity of this national IP. For most new actors and even amateurs with no acting experience, this is a great opportunity to change their destiny.

"A lot of people..."

Stepping down from the agency's bus, 20-year-old Sato Ruya couldn't help but sigh when she saw the huge crowds in front of the audition venue.

Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Sato Ruma looked around curiously. He was signed by PKP agency through a talent show a year ago, but he is not actually an actor and has no acting experience. He has been active in the industry as the center of the idol group ONE/HANDSOME.

Although it sounds quite formal, in fact, Sato Ruma himself is very clear about his own situation. Both the agency he belongs to and the group with a cool name are at the bottom of the entertainment industry and are not well-known.

"Sato-san, stop looking around and come and gather together."

Hearing the agent from the agency calling her, Sato Ruma touched the back of her head and hurried over.

For large-scale auditions like this, the actors or amateurs who come to audition will basically be gathered according to their agencies first, and only after the number of people is counted and confirmed, will they enter the venue together.

However, because his own agency is not big and specializes in idol business, there are only two or three people who come for audition including Sato Ruma, and there is only one agent leading the team. Compared with the long queues gathered under the signs of other agencies, it looks quite bleak.

As time went by, several well-known firms in the industry gradually arrived. Just looking at the famous names on the signs held up, Sato Ruma was already a little frightened.

After all, he really had no acting experience, and before the audition he even had the white and pink curly hair that only idols have, and he just dyed it back to black in the past two days.

"The people from Burning Production are here."

At this time, Sato Ruma suddenly heard the agent beside her speak. It is known as the strongest entertainment agency in the industry. It is a group-managed agency with more than one hundred entertainment companies. In the past ten years, the brightest star promoted by this agency is naturally the popular multi-talented actor Kitagawa Ryo.

"what?"

Immediately afterwards, Sato Ruya heard her agent exclaim in disbelief:

"Beichuan Liang is here too?"

"That Beichuan?"

Sato Ruya swallowed subconsciously and her eyelids twitched:

"He's here for the audition too?"

Asking him to compete for roles with actors of this level is like facing the final BOSS right after leaving the novice village.

"Not sure...it's possible that he is leading the team as a senior."

The agent shook his head to indicate that he didn't know yet, and then patted Sato Ruya's shoulder, who looked a little nervous:

"Alright, alright, relax. This is just a one-time attempt. There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."

"I see."

Sato Ruya nodded. He took a deep breath, but he was still a little pessimistic in his heart. He secretly planned:

Since your acting skills are not as good as others, then try to show your cheerful and natural side as much as possible, just as a way to exercise your psychological quality.

Kitagawa Ryo was not aware that his arrival had inadvertently caused another amateur to change his mind. As soon as he got off the bus, he was treated to extraordinary attention. Many actors and agents from other agencies with whom he had worked before also came to greet him.

Beichuan Ryo, who had already mastered diplomatic rhetoric, greeted everyone politely one by one without any star airs. His polite smile and considerate responses made the new actors who came to audition feel more favorable towards him.

"Hello, Kitagawa-san. I'm Kazuto Mokuyo from the production department of Stardust Promotion."

Beichuan Liang still remembered the handsome and masculine boy in front of him. He shook hands with him and replied with a smile:

"This is our first meeting after the recording of the show 'Don't Be Deceived by the Wolf'. Makuyo-san is much more handsome than he was then. He will definitely get a role that suits him this time."

Unlike PKP agency that Sato Ruma belongs to, Stardust Promotion agency that Mokuyo Kazuto belongs to is one of the most famous agencies in the industry and naturally provides more resources to its artists.

For example, in the popular love variety show "Don't Be Cheated by the Wolf" that Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai recorded before, the person in front of him, Kazuto Mokushiro, had participated in the show as a guest, and the two had met once.

"thanks for your encouragement."

Kazuto Mokudai bowed politely to express his gratitude, and then asked curiously:

"Senior Kitagawa, are you here for the audition this time as well?"

"Yes, and it's the human form of the main rider."

Kitagawa Ryo had no intention of hiding anything and openly stated the role he wanted to audition for.

"That's true... Looks like I have to aim for other characters."

Mokuyo Kazuto was slightly stunned, and immediately a confused bitter smile appeared on his face, and finally he shook his head in relief.

"Good luck to you."

"Good luck to you, too."

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings for a while, Kitagawa Ryo walked back to his own agency's team. Because the matter was of great importance, he sent out six or seven people from his large team of more than 20 people. In terms of quantity alone, there were more actors and actresses than those brought by small agencies.

“Is this the famous actor…?”

Because of their small size, they couldn't even squeeze into the previous wave of fan meetings. The agent of PKP agency, to which Sato Ruma belongs, sighed sincerely when he saw Kitagawa Ryouchi being surrounded by several people and asking about their well-being as soon as he returned to the team.

While the PKP group was discussing, they suddenly found another sign on their side, with only four or five people under it.

Just when Sato Ruma was thinking that this might be a colleague from a small agency like theirs and wanted to strike up a conversation and get acquainted, she suddenly discovered that the name of the agency written on the other party's sign was "Mei Pro", and she quickly retracted her foot that had already taken half a step forward.

What a joke! As an idol herself, Sato Ruma is very clear about the value of the Ichigo Pro agency in the industry. Although she is mocked privately every day for having nothing but B. Komachi, the fact that they were able to bring B. Komachi from obscurity to the stage of Tokyo Dome is an achievement that those idol agencies at the bottom of the pyramid can only envy.

After discovering that the other party was Ichigo Pro, Sato Ruma also confirmed that the woman who came to the audition accompanied by the president Saito Ichito was the C position of B Komachi, who officially graduated a year ago and has now switched to being an actress, Hoshino Ai.

I also want to graduate on the stage of Tokyo Dome like this...

Sato Ruya wailed in her heart.

"Then please enter the venue in order."

After waiting for a while, the news was broadcasted outside the venue. The front line of the team began to move slowly. When Sato Ruya entered the venue, she found that the spacious venue was already filled with tables and chairs. A bottle of mineral water and a stack of information were thoughtfully placed on each single seat.

The information recorded only the plot that could be revealed so far and the personalities of each character. Although most of the actors had received a similar document from the agency before coming, since this was given by the official, most people began to read it very carefully.

Soon, the creative team led by director Shojiro Nakazawa and screenwriter Yuya Takahashi, as well as the producer, announced some details of the audition, and after saying some encouraging words, they retreated to the backstage.

Because there are so many people coming to audition, the audition method of "Kamen Rider Polar Fox" adopts a group system. The actors will enter the audition room in groups of five to face the members of the production team.

Sato Ruma, who had no idea about the audition rules, was so upset that she wanted to cry when she saw her agent who was unable to come in. After hurriedly writing down everything she heard, she sat in her seat feeling very nervous.

After about ten minutes, Sato Ruya finally heard his name. He stood up and took a deep breath. When he followed the actor in front of him to another audition room, he noticed that the person walking in front of him was Kitagawa Ryo whom he had seen before.

So you really came here for an audition...

Feeling depressed that maybe she shouldn't have signed up for the audition for the role of the main rider's human body, Sato Ruma could only follow closely and walked into another room with mixed feelings.

After the basic self-introduction session, Sato Ruma heard one of the producers ask a question with a smile:

"Since everyone has come to audition for the role of the main rider, would you like to try to do a transformation move of your own design?"

Sato Ruya, who had no idea how to react, was stunned for a moment, but in the next moment she unconsciously stepped aside.

Because Beichuan Ryo beside him moved.

As if he was really wearing a transformable belt, Beichuan Ryo's right hand brushed across his waist. He slightly separated his steps, slightly bent his right knee, and his left foot and upper body formed a straight line.

Then, Beichuan Ryo stretched out his right hand, drew a perfect semicircle in the air, and stopped there. He snapped his fingers crisply, and his face, which was originally sideways, turned to the front. He raised the corners of his mouth to face everyone in the production team, revealing the most impeccable smile:

"Transform--"

This was the first time that Sato Ruma saw actors improvise on the spot.

He couldn't help himself and even shouted out on the spot:

"How did you do that...so amazing!"

Then he was glared at by one of the producers:

"You'll do it soon too!"

So Sato Ruma retreated to the back in disappointment.

But his eyes were still fixed on Beichuan Liang's back.

It was completely different from what was seen on TV. Although there were no special effects or props, Kitagawa Ryo's transformation just now left a deep impression on Sato Ruma's heart.

It was just like—

Like the brightest star in the night sky that no one can ignore.

I came home from school today with arms sore from moving things. I had only moved half of the books and sundry items in the dormitory, and I just finished moving them all. Only now did I realize that I was really going to graduate and leave school.

My mind is a little confused. I can't write anything in this state. I'm sorry, I'm asking for both the old book and the new book today.

Chapter 5: I've Found It (k)

Although Sato Ruma's involuntary cheers somewhat ruined the atmosphere on the scene, facing Kitagawa Ryo's impromptu transformation, not only him, but many members of the production team looked at each other and nodded secretly.

The protagonist of this work, Hidetoshi Ukiyo, is set to be a character with a bit of cynicism. Of course, this modifier will fluctuate between frivolous and annoying and cynical depending on the actor's appearance and actual performance.

The snap of Kitagawa Ryogo's fingers and the slight smile on his lips gave the feeling that the screenwriters had imagined when they were creating the film, as if the words and lines had walked out of the paper.

"Others please show it as well."

However, since it was a group audition after all, the production team naturally could not favor one over another so obviously. Director Shotaro Nakazawa coughed and signaled the next few characters in this group to show themselves as well.

Sato Ruma, who was forced to do the audition at the last minute, had never expected that the audition process would be like this. It's not that he was nervous, after all, he was the center of an idol group and was completely familiar with performing in public.

But he really didn't think about designing any transformation moves.

Although she kept complaining about this in her heart, Sato Ruya still maintained a calm expression. She spread her legs like Kitagawa Ryo had just done, but she couldn't think of any good ideas for her hand movements.

However, due to time constraints, Sato Ruya couldn't think of any cool moves in a split second, so she subconsciously used the flower hand moves she had practiced before and was going to post on TikTok in two days, and gritted her teeth and shouted:

"Transform--"

Beichuan Liang, who had finished the performance and was standing aside, noticed the actions of the male actor next to him and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

After this improvisation session, it was time for a Q&A session like any other audition. The questions from the production team were very real:

"Have you all passed the motorcycle driving license test?"

As we all know, when mentioning Kamen Rider, one will definitely think of motorcycles. Although there are some weird ones like "Kamen Rider Build" where the main rider has basically never ridden a motorcycle many times, in most of the Kamen Rider works, the actor who plays the main rider must be able to ride a motorcycle skillfully.

Everyone nodded in unison.

The age limit for obtaining a motorcycle driver's license in Japan is sixteen years old or above. After reaching the age requirement, Kitagawa Ryo also found time to take the motorcycle driver's license test.

After getting a satisfactory answer to this question for all, the production team also began to ask each person individually. The questions were different, basically "Have you seen Kamen Rider before? Which one do you like best?" "If you can transform into Kamen Rider, what do you want to do?" and "What do you think is the most important spirit of Kamen Rider?" Topics like.

When Kitagawa Ryoya was asked the question "What do you think is the most important thing about Kamen Rider?", he answered almost without hesitation:

“The philosophy of never giving up in order to achieve your vision.”

After hearing Kitagawa Ryo's answer, the production team members did not show any reaction, but continued to ask questions to the next actor.

After four rounds of questions, Sato Ruma looked at the production team who wanted to end this session, pointed at herself with a confused look on her face, and said in confusion:

"Eh? I think I wasn't asked any questions."

"Indeed."

Chief screenwriter Takahashi Yuya smiled meaningfully, nodded, and asked Sato Ruya a common question:

"Have you ever seen Kamen Rider before?"
