"Matsumoto Konemon?" the clerk asked, "Is that the kabuki actor Matsumoto Konemon?"

"it's him."

"Teacher Fujiwara, there should be no information about him in the reference room." The clerk replied, "Mr. Konemon Matsumoto is not a film and television actor. He almost never appears in film and television dramas, so there is no information about him in the reference room."

"I remember he starred in a movie two years ago."

At this time, Kei Fujiwara found out on his computer last night that Kei Fujiwara also watched the movie. The story was average, but Konemon Matsumoto's performance in the movie was definitely online.

After all, he is a stage actor. A skilled theater actor who moves to the big screen can almost defeat ordinary film and television actors in terms of acting skills.

For TV series and movies, more emphasis is placed on the director's commanding art; while for dramas and stage plays, the actor's on-the-spot performance is even more important.

"That time was a friendly appearance by Mr. Konemon Matsumoto, but other than that, there is no more information about his performance."

"I understand." Fujiwara Kei didn't ask any more questions and walked directly out of the data room.

After returning to the car, after some thinking, Fujiwara Kei picked up the receiver of the car phone and called Arima Keika again.

After the phone rang for a while, no one answered, and the message was automatically entered.

Kei Fujiwara cleared his throat and said, "Arima, I'm Kei Fujiwara. I have something to ask you about. About my new film... If it's convenient, can you give me a call back?"

After leaving the message, Kei Fujiwara hung up the phone and drove back to the company.

"...I'm Kei Fujiwara. I have something to ask you about. About my new movie...if it's convenient, can you call me back?"

Arima Guixiang is sitting on the sofa, the phone is in her hand.

Listening to Kei Fujiwara's voice on the phone, her heart beat uncontrollably like a drum beat in her ears.

For some reason, she didn't dare to answer Kei Fujiwara's call.

After the ringing ended, her anxious heart dropped a little, and then she pricked up her ears to listen to Fujiwara Kei's message.

Just call him back in half an hour... Arima Keixiang thought to herself, so she picked up a magazine and started reading.

She just felt that a long time had passed, so she put down the magazine and picked up the phone receiver to call back. However, when she looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, it showed that less than ten minutes had passed.

Arima Keixiang was stunned for a moment, then put down the receiver again with some embarrassment. After another fifteen minutes, she called back.

"Fujiwara...I'm sorry, I didn't hear the ringtone just now. Is something wrong?"

"Are you free now? Come out for a meal." The only intersection between Kei Fujiwara and Konemon Matsumoto is Katsura Arima, so they plan to rub her off and try to trick her into dragging his father into "Furuhata"

The filming location of "Renzaburo".

After all, besides Teruo Asahara, Konemon Matsumoto is the second person Kei Fujiwara has seen in this world who is highly suitable for the role of Furuhata Jinsaburo, and his degree of compatibility is even close to that of Masakazu Tamura.

The moment I saw him on TV last night, I even felt for a moment that Masakazu Tamura himself had come to this world.

I roughly learned some personal information about Konemon Matsumoto on the Internet. He is 48 years old and his age is very suitable.

"Okay." Arima Guixiang deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You decide what to eat, lonely gourmet."

Kei Fujiwara laughed into the receiver: "Okay, if it doesn't taste good, you can hit me."

"When are we meeting."

"At six o'clock in the evening, come to the New Bridge. There is a French restaurant nearby. It tastes very good."

"Okay, see you there then." Arima Keixiang said.

After hanging up the phone, Arima Guixiang continued to pick up the magazine and read it, but suddenly she couldn't stand the exciting content in the magazine.

At noon, someone knocked on the door of Arima Katsura's bedroom. Arima Katsura opened the door. The sixty-year-old maid smiled at Arima Katsura and said, "Miss, it's time to eat."

"Well, here we go." Arima Keixiang said.

She is now in her own home, not in a rented apartment.

Arima Keika went downstairs and sat opposite her mother. The main seat was still empty. Matsumoto Konemon hadn't come yet. As the head of the family, her father hadn't sat down, so the others couldn't move quickly, so a group of people waited for Matsumoto Konemon.

Emon takes his seat.

Two minutes later, Konoe Matsumoto, wearing pajamas and wearing wooden clogs, walked over, holding a small notebook in his hand and mumbling something.

"abandon, give up..."

I don't know what happened to Konemon Matsumoto recently. He, a inheritor of Japanese national art, suddenly started learning foreign languages.

According to him, he wants to bring the great art of kabuki performance to the world stage, and even perform on Broadway in the near future, so he has been very active in studying recently.

Konemon Matsumoto sat on his seat, put his vocabulary book aside, and suddenly said in a stage singing voice: "Let's go, boys."

"Don't be so weird," my mother scolded.

"English is really difficult..." Konemon Matsumoto suddenly sighed.

"Learn slowly." Mother said.

"Masai, how are you doing with your training for "Leonshishi" recently? Can you perform on stage with your father?" Konemon Matsumoto asked.

Arimasai was feasting on a mashed potato when he heard Matsumoto Konemon's stern questioning and suddenly looked a little disappointed.

"It's okay, Dad."

"After dinner, let's rehearse. I plan to perform with you officially this month."

"It's so fast, I'm not ready yet..."

"Then make preparations now." Matsumoto Konoe said in an incomprehensible tone.

"good……"

"Leonshishi" is a famous Kabuki play that has been passed down from father to son in Japan's Kabuki family for generations, so it is also traditional for father and son to perform "Leonshishi" on the same stage, which means that the son will officially take over the mantle from his father soon.

At this time, Arima Shiori poked Matsumoto Konemon with her elbow, and pursed her lips slightly at Arima Keika.

Arima Keixiang was holding the rice bowl, looking a little distracted.

Matsumoto Konemon reacted and quickly expressed his concern for his daughter, "Guixiang, how are you doing at work recently? Are you busy with any new dramas recently?"

Arima Guixiang shook her head.

Konemon Matsumoto had a flattering smile on his face: "Dad watched the entire episode of "The Long Vacation" without stopping. It was really exciting."

Arima Guixiang said no more.

The Arima couple thought their daughter was angry again, so they stopped talking.

Although the Arima family belongs to a traditional Japanese family, Konemon Matsumoto himself does not have the habit of favoring boys over girls. He has also doted on his daughter since he was a child. When Arima Keika was young, she also admired her father for wearing a lion head on the stage.

She looked majestic, so when she was very young, Arima Keika determined to become a kabuki actress and wanted to inherit her father's name.

At that time, Konemon Matsumoto was very happy when he learned about Arima Keika's ideal, so he taught her how to perform when she was very young and even took her on stage.

However, when Arima Keika grew up, she had to accept a slightly cruel fact, that is, women cannot perform Kabuki, and can only inherit the female stage name Matsumoto Takao, [Matsumoto Zaemon - Matsumoto

Konoemon—Kantaro Matsumoto—Taketsuru Matsumoto] This inheritance is something that my daughter’s family cannot participate in.

After Arima Keika found out about this, she was sad and angry for a while, but she soon accepted the reality. From then on, she rarely performed under the name Matsumoto Takao Sakura, but left the stage and took on Arima Keika's real name.

Film and television actor.

Because she is a girl, she cannot inherit the mantle of Hakutsuya - this seems to be the only problem between Arima Keika and her parents.

The Arima couple thought that Arima Keixiang was angry about this matter again, so they stopped talking, but in fact, Arima Keixiang was thinking about something else.

After eating, Arima Guixiang returned to the room, took off her clothes and walked in

I started taking a shower in the bathroom. After a while, I walked out of the bathroom with my bare feet wrapped in a bath towel and started picking clothes in front of the huge wardrobe.

Which one should I wear? This one seems a bit revealing, but this one is too conservative.

After thinking about it for a long time, Arima Guixiang chose the clothes, then dressed up carefully on the dressing table, and then prepared to walk out of the room.

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he saw Arimama Sai standing at the door. Seeing Arima Keixiang's appearance, he was stunned and said, "Are you going on a date?"
