godfather of tokyo entertainment

Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno sat together like two elders, watching Kyogoku perform in front of them.

Kyogoku was obviously a little nervous, her heart was pounding, and she even said a few lines wrong during the performance.

Kyogoku was extremely upset, thinking that there was no chance this time, but when she looked up, she saw the two elder brothers in front of her looking at her expectantly.

Ohno Nagaharu asked: "Have you had any acting experience before?"

Kyogoku nodded: "I am from the school drama club... I have been performing in a show recently..."

She felt a little guilty when she said this, because she was just performing as a living prop, which was better than nothing, just to be included in her resume for further studies.

It seems that I haven't played any important role before, either as a supporting role or as a background. I would be grateful if I could have one or two lines.

"You seem to be an introvert." Kei Fujiwara said.

Kyogoku lowered her head and said nothing. She already knew the outcome of this interview. Well, it was probably not going to work. In her opinion, outgoing and cheerful is a must-have character for an actor. How should she face the audience if she is always shy?

She also hates her shy personality, but there is no way she can change it in a short while.

"Yes...a little bit..."

"Kyogoku, can you play a small part again?" Fujiwara Kei said again at this time.

"Ah." Kyogoku raised her head. She didn't expect that the other party would still give her a chance.

"Next, I will cooperate with you." Kei Fujiwara stood up, "Next, you play the role of a student from the Academy of Fine Arts. On this day, you were painting in the studio, and suddenly a man walked in with a gun in his hand.

An ax...I will play this man."

Fujiwara Kei stood up and rolled up a newspaper at hand: "Hey, what about you, you..."

"Um?"

"There was a painting at the exhibition a while ago that looked very similar to mine, right?"

"Huh? Huh?"

"I posted the painting on the Internet! Someone copied it, didn't it? Say something to me!" Fujiwara Kei roared, veins bursting out of his arms, and the newspaper rolled in his hand was trembling slightly.

"Ah...wha...what...I..." Kyogoku looked blankly at the man in front of her, feeling as if the man had suddenly turned into another person.

The gentle, easy-going and caring big brother just now turned into a violent *** almost in an instant.

"Really? Answer me!"

Kei Fujiwara roared angrily, and even Ohno Nagaharu was startled by him and quickly moved his chair away from him.

Kyogoku stared blankly at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say. Her face turned pale and her lips were trembling. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the arson attack in Toani not long ago. Could he be playing the role of that person?

***?

Kyogoku recalled what was in the news not long ago, and her body couldn't stop trembling. She looked at the person in front of her, and the newspaper in her hand seemed to have turned into a real axe. She saw the person holding the "axe" high.

Lift it high and drop it.

Kyogoku was so frightened that she froze up. It wasn't until the "axe" hit her hard that she realized that it was a fake. What hit her was a newspaper, which was soft and didn't hurt at all.

She stared at Kei Fujiwara blankly, and found that he had returned to his previous gentle and elegant appearance.

Awesome! This is called a performance!

"This is a good reaction." Kei Fujiwara sincerely praised him. "You have to remember your reaction just now. When you perform officially, you should keep it like this."

"Formal performance...you mean..."

Fujiwara Kei turned back to Ohno Nagaharu and said, "Ohno, it's her. I think she is very suitable for the role of Kyomoto."

The scene just now is also the plot of "Suddenly Looking Back". The book itself was created to commemorate the victims of KyoAni, so there is also a plot of indiscriminate harm in the manga.

"Well, you passed." Kei Fujiwara nodded.

"Thanks…

...Thank you..." Kyogoku was flattered for a moment, and for some reason, she passed the interview.

She felt that her performance was actually very bad, just like just now, the other party played a ***, so real, but she was frightened and didn't show any on-the-spot performance.

Speaking of which, the person in front of her has really great acting skills. Because she dreams of becoming an actress, she often goes to stage plays. She feels that even those professional actors are not as expressive as the person in front of her.

"Um...are you a professional actor?" Kyogoku asked.

"I am the screenwriter." Keimichi Fujiwara pointed to Ohno Nagaharu behind him, "This is the director, we are the main creators of this micro-movie."

"Screenwriter..." Kyogoku is a little unbelievable that the screenwriter's acting skills are so good?

The profession of an actor is too difficult! You must study your skills all the time, otherwise you won't be able to act even if you are a screenwriter.

Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno issued a lot of notices looking for actors because they were making a short film with a small cost and they were going to participate in the peer film festival. Because this film festival has the nature of supporting new directors, Kei Fujiwara didn't plan to recruit some stars.

Come and act.

Kono Aoi's agent, Ms. Fukuyama, heard that Kei Fujiwara was going to make an experimental short film recently and quickly contacted him, claiming that Kono Aoi could star in it for free, but Kei Fujiwara refused.

Kei Fujiwara decided to cast a new actor, so during this period Ohno Nagaharu posted recruitment notices on the bulletin boards of major high schools and colleges, hoping to find suitable candidates.

In order to find suitable actors, Fujiwara Kei also came into contact with a group that he had not had much contact with before: idols.

Different from popular idols like Arima Keika and Hoshino Hiroshi who have backgrounds in large companies, most idols are performers who engage in cheap performances. They may not be very good-looking. I don’t know how many shows Kei Fujiwara has watched.

When famous idols perform, there are only one or two good-looking ones on a stage, and most of them are local girls.

There is no big company background behind me, so I can only get some performance resources from some individual agents, and the money I get may not be as much as working in a convenience store.

In this era, the term underground idol has not yet appeared. The so-called underground idols are just the losers of AKB's popular girl group looking for another way out. When they gather, they are like a ball of fire, when they disperse, they are like stars.

But recently, there are more and more down-to-earth male and female idol groups, and there are often more than a dozen or more than 20 people in a group, which is a bit like AKB. But most idols just make money by performing, and they don’t even have food.

If you don't have enough to eat, you have to look for other part-time jobs.

There are those who work part-time jobs after performances, there are also those who have private connections with fans to do sex business, or there are those who drag their suitcases into the video studio to entertain young girls and middle-aged men, just to name a few.

There are two characters in "Looking Back". Among them, the actor for the role of Kyomoto has been selected, and it is Kyogoku. However, Kyomoto is not the most important role. The most important role, Fujino, has never found a suitable actor.

Because of the particularity of the plot, the actors who play these two roles must have some artistic temperament and a student spirit. They cannot be social people at first glance.

Moreover, the time and space span of the plot is relatively large. The original plot was from the fourth grade of elementary school to adulthood. Kei Fujiwara modified it without affecting the original plot, changing it to junior high school to adulthood.

Since you have to play the role of a junior high school student, you naturally can’t be too old. It’s best to be between fifteen and twenty years old. And Japanese girls are generally shorter. Aoi Kono, who is over 1.6 meters tall, can even be called a “female giant.”

”, so there should be no pressure to play the role of a junior high school student.

Not long after, the actor for another character "Fujino" in "Suddenly Looking Back" was also decided. He is a young idol and is 16 years old this year.
