Japanese big things

"Hey, Shinichiro, you look like you're in a daze..."

The friends were all talking animatedly among themselves, but Shinichiro Ueda had been drinking silently. His dazed look was a bit eye-catching, which naturally attracted their attention. So, someone waved his hand in front of his eyes and spoke.

Asked: "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I didn't think about anything..."

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Ueda Shinichiro drank the beer in the glass in one go. He paused for two seconds, then seemed to have gathered enough courage, and said in a solemn tone: "By the way, I plan to apply for the army.

Kanazawa’s recruitment information.”

"What? Are you going to apply for that one?"

"You're kidding, Shinichiro, that's not reliable at all."

"You want to go to Kanazawa? Are you serious?"

"What on earth do you think? Why should you apply for that?"

As expected, as soon as Shinichiro Ueda finished speaking, his friends all looked at him in surprise, their eyes subconsciously filled with doubts. They didn't understand why Shinichiro Ueda made this decision.

.

They were still having a heated discussion just now, and everyone agreed that the recruitment information was unreliable. They were a new team, they were only given very low remuneration, and they were in a small and remote place. No matter from any angle,

Look, it doesn’t seem like it’s worth investing too much enthusiasm into.

But I didn't expect that my friend Ueda Shinichiro actually planned to apply. I don't know what he was thinking. Is it for money? It doesn't seem right. Apart from the travel expenses to and from Tokyo, there doesn't seem to be much left over from that reward.

.

Ueda Shinichiro didn't rush to explain. He first asked the landlady for another beer. After his friends had completely quieted down, facing their curious eyes, he said unhurriedly: "I think, yes

For me, this is a rare opportunity."

Friends looked at Shinichiro Ueda intently, knowing that the other party had not finished speaking. Since Shinichiro Ueda made the decision to apply, he must have carefully considered it, and there must be a reason why he chose to apply.

"It is undeniable that there are many opportunities here in Tokyo, and they are definitely more reliable than those in Kanazawa. There are also large and small crews filming every day..."

After pausing for a few seconds, Ueda Shinichiro glanced around his friends and saw that their faces all showed contemplative expressions. They were obviously thinking about Ueda Shinichiro's words. Among this group of friends, Ueda Shinichiro was a bit of a mess.

Although he is down and out, his personality and character are quite convincing, so his words are more or less convincing.

Picking up the glass, Ueda Shinichiro took a slow sip, and then continued: "But similarly, the competition here is also more intense. Think about it, although we are looking for opportunities every day, so many people are looking for opportunities at the same time.

Competition, how many times will it be our turn?"

Shaking their heads subconsciously, the friends looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces turned to disappointment. As Shinichiro Ueda said, although everyone worked hard to find opportunities and actively tried to participate every time,

How many times can one really win?

Japan's domestic entertainment industry is a circle that pays attention to seniority. Every selection of the crew gives priority to those with connections and backgrounds. Even under the same conditions, seniors with industry experience can often win first.

One chip.

Low-level practitioners in circles like them often lack qualifications and experience. But without opportunities, where can the qualifications and experience come from? Is it possible that they can only rely on time to get through it slowly? But this kind of inability to see

Who knows how long we can hold on to the days of hope?

"Instead of continuing to struggle hopelessly in Tokyo and blindly trying to travel back and forth between various crews, it is better to go to Kanazawa and try your luck."

Seeing his friends all looking lost in thought, Ueda Shinichiro continued: "If nothing else, just making a movie is worth giving me a try."

"Even if you really fail in the end, at most it will just be a waste of time. Anyway, time is also wasted in Tokyo."

Having said this, Ueda Shinichiro smiled self-deprecatingly, maintaining an optimistic mood and said: "At least, I have participated in the filming of a movie, and I have some qualifications."

Shinichiro Ueda's words were well-founded, and his analysis was clear-cut. At the same time, he was prepared for the worst. No matter from any angle, there was nothing to fault, so that his friends were impressed by him.

"How about I go with you."

"You're right. There won't be much loss anyway, so just give it a try."

At first, everyone thought it was very unreliable, but after Shinichiro Ueda said this, their minds quietly changed. In fact, two of the friends seemed to be moved, and they immediately expressed their intention to follow Shinichiro Ueda to apply.

.

I don’t know if their statements followed their true thoughts? Looking at the blushing cheeks and slightly blurred eyes of the two people, Ueda Shinichiro always felt that they were just a little drunk because of drinking too much.

"I'd better go by myself, you are all actors..."

Although it was a polite rejection, Ueda Shinichiro did not just find excuses to deal with it, but analyzed the facts: "Besides, the other party has not recruited actors, so even if you go, it will be of no use."

After downing a few glasses of beer and eating some of the appetizers on the table, Ueda Shinichiro started drinking again. Probably because he drank too much, he lost his initial restraint and joined in with the same enthusiasm.

In the discussion among friends, the topic just shifted to other aspects.

The atmosphere in the izakaya is still warm, and the noisy noise fills the whole world. The dim light brings a bit of warmth, and peacefully fills the space. If it weren't for the slight ticking sound on the wall from time to time,

, almost making people ignore the passage of time.

There are waves of customers in the store, and I don’t know how many people have changed. Inadvertently, the majority of people are already wearing suits and shirts. You don’t need to guess, they must have got off work.

salaried workers, those social beasts who work hard in office buildings every day.

Generally in izakayas, they are often the most unscrupulous of all the guests. After a few glasses of beer, the wanton noise and madness are easy. The word "bohemian" is simply the best explanation for them.

Probably because I was used to being cautious in the workplace during the day, my suppressed emotions caused problems. After drinking, I often seemed to be a different person, as if I had taken off all the disguises and masks, and my hysterical nature was exposed.
After venting everything, it seems that calm has returned. Those who can stay awake can go home smoothly, while those who are drunk and sleeping soundly will not worry. Whether it is the tables and chairs in the izakaya or the ground on the roadside, as long as there is someone who can

Any living space can become a shelter for these drunken people.

The next day, Shinichiro Ueda first contacted the account that posted the recruitment information. His application was approved by the other party, so he made an appointment to go to Kanazawa. Afterwards, he took care of his personal affairs and settled down with his wife.

Then I boarded the late-night bus to Kanazawa with peace of mind.

Originally, according to Shinichiro Ueda's idea, he planned to take the Shinkansen directly to Kanazawa. However, after checking the ticket purchase information, he discovered that the Shinkansen did not have a direct train to Kanazawa, and currently it can only reach Joetsu Myoko in Niigata Prefecture.

Station. For the subsequent journey, you need to transfer again to reach Kanazawa, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, with the mentality of reducing trouble and saving travel expenses, Shinichiro Ueda chose the long-distance late-night bus. Although it will cost a little more time, at most he can get a good sleep on the bus, so it is not unacceptable.

After getting in the car, Shinichiro Ueda placed his backpack in the corner, then opened the zipper and took out a Kanazawa travel book he had prepared in advance. Since he had never been to Kanazawa and didn't know much about that remote place, he planned to

Through this Kanazawa travel guide, I am trying to gain more insights, and at the same time, it is also a way to kill the boredom of long-distance travel.

Sitting down and leaning back as if to relax, Ueda Shinichiro lay down directly on the tilted seat. Then, while holding the Kanazawa travel brochure and looking through it casually, he reached out and grabbed the blanket provided in the car.

Covering the body, a warmth instantly began to spread, and then gradually spread to the whole body.

Different from the relatively single-style buses in China, due to the highly developed transportation industry in Japan, the bus segment has also been fully developed. Therefore, under fierce competition, all services have been achieved at a very high level.
For example, the late-night bus that Shinichiro Ueda took was one of the highest-level services. Not only can you charge your mobile phone and surf the Internet, but there are also blankets and cushions with different functions, and even personal curtains can create an exclusive atmosphere.

personal space.

Well, except that you can't make phone calls, basically all aspects of services have been achieved to the extreme. From a side perspective, this is why young people in Japan generally choose buses as a mode of transportation.

"Huh? Simi Marseille, are you going to Kanazawa too?"

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded next to him, which made Shinichiro Ueda feel surprised. He subconsciously glanced sideways, and saw a young man standing next to him at some point. He looked like he was in his twenties, with a face

There is a hint of sincerity in it.

"Yes..."

Although he was a little confused about the situation and felt a little confused for a while, Shinichiro Ueda still replied affirmatively. Then, out of curiosity, he politely responded to the other party: "Um, who are you?"
"I went to Kanazawa to apply, and I saw you looking through the Kanazawa travel brochure, so I couldn't help but come over and say hello.... We should be going to the same place."

Facing Shinichiro Ueda's slightly scrutinizing gaze, the man became a little more reserved. He seemed a little introverted and not very good at communicating with others. The expression on his face seemed a little awkward, and his tone of voice also felt erratic.<
