Japanese big things

Chapter 295: Traveling Together

After the first broadcast of "Antarctica" achieved excellent results exceeding 30%, the second episode was broadcast on the 23rd.

Although the audiovisual score dropped slightly compared to the first episode, it still remained above 30%, which is considered a normal small fluctuation.

Taking advantage of the rapidly rising popularity of the TV series, TBS TV station has increased relevant publicity efforts, and the actors who starred in "Antarctica" have also taken advantage of the opportunity to make money in marketing and commercial performances.

Especially Kimura Takuya, who is the main protagonist of TV series, has participated in many popular variety shows non-stop, so much so that he can be seen on almost every channel.

For Takuya Kimura, who is currently being questioned, he finally saw that the audio-visual performance of "Antarctica" was showing signs of explosion. Of course, he had to seize the opportunity.

Last year, Kimura Takuya starred in Fuji TV's moon drama "Moon Lovers", and many people had high hopes for it.

As a result, the ratings dropped all the way, even creating an ultra-low audio-visual score of 13.4%, ruining Fuji TV's September 9th sign, and was criticized by many media.

You know, Kimura Takuya is a superstar known as the "King of Japanese Dramas". Having such a disappointing audio-visual performance is simply the biggest stain on his career.

Now that the ratings of "Antarctica" have exploded, doubts about him have been washed away like a timely rain. Kimura Takuya has achieved a counterattack that can be called rock bottom.

For Nakamura Masahiro, although "Antarctica" has become the focus of public opinion in Japan, it has also added a dazzling label to his success.

But Masahiro Nakamura has shifted his work focus at this time, and he is now involved in the selection of actors for the movie "Model Student".

Originally, the selection interviews for "Model Student" attracted much attention from the entertainment industry, but now with the success of "Antarctica", many agencies have actively participated.

From Johnny's to Oscars, from Kenyin, Hori Productions to Stardust Club, and even Sony and Toho.

Nakamura Masahiro didn't know if all the agencies in the entertainment industry were involved, but judging from the artist information he received, it basically covered well-known Japanese agencies.

"President, there are already people waiting in line outside. When will the selection start?"

Mika Ito entered the conference room, carefully looked back and closed the door, then smiled apologetically at the people looking at her in the conference room, walked quickly to Nakamura Masahiro, and whispered a reminder.

"There's no rush, just calm them down first..."

Nakamura Masahiro raised his head and glanced at Mika Ito, who looked cautious, then continued to look at the artist information in front of him, and replied casually.

"I'm going to look through the artist information here first. There are too many and I won't be able to finish them all in a while."

"Hi, I understand."

Mika Ito glanced at the thick pile of documents on the table, then she responded with a slight twitch of the corner of her mouth, and quietly exited the conference room.

Because it is a formal open audition, there are a lot of people competing for movie roles, and the amount of artist information submitted to Nakamura Masahiro is almost piled up.

In addition, many agencies behind artists are also actively carrying out activities to gain an advantage in selection activities.

Of course, Nakamura Masahiro declined the offer and declined private invitations. He still hoped to select actors who could fit the movie roles.

However, Warner's Yoshinori Kanemaru and Toho's Genki Kawamura were surrounded by sugar-coated bullets from many offices, and privately advised Masahiro Nakamura to think more about it.

It’s not that he must give the opponent a role, but out of human sophistication, I hope Nakamura Masahiro can let him stay for one more round.

To put it bluntly, it means that when there is not much difference in acting skills and image, artists from well-known agencies will be given priority.

Even if they are really not suitable, don't eliminate them early, but keep them for one more round so that they can brush up on their resume.

In the fiercely competitive Japanese entertainment industry, in addition to solid acting skills and strong support from the agency behind it, resumes and qualifications are also very important.

It's like the same two actors: one has only auditioned for the work of an unknown director, while the other has competed for a big production produced by a famous director.

When two people participate in the selection of a movie at the same time, it goes without saying that the latter is definitely more likely to win the competition.

Kanemaru Yoshi glanced at Masahiro Nakamura, who was still looking through the information, and then turned back to continue communicating with Genki Kawamura in a low voice.

Sitting next to them were their two assistants, sitting upright like students rushing to the examination room, with solemn expressions.

The photographer in the corner also maintained a quiet atmosphere, just immersed in playing with the equipment, low-key and without much sense of presence.

Time passed slowly, Yoshino Kanemaru and Genki Kawamura also slowly stopped communicating, and the conference room became quieter for a while.

In the corridor outside the conference room, there was a long queue of artists. Although they were able to maintain a quiet atmosphere, they could not avoid exchanging a few words in private.

Of course, the main reason is that artists who belong to the same agency will chat quietly, but artists from different agencies still maintain a clear attitude towards each other.

After all, if everyone comes to participate in the film role selection of a famous director, there is a high probability that they will become rivals competing for the same role.

Not to mention that we don't have a close relationship, even if we are really good friends in private, we are not in the mood to pay attention to other people's situations right now.

"Neng Nian-san, how much do you know about Supervisor Nakamura?"

Kawashima Umika came closer to Rena Nonen and asked in a low voice. She and Rena Nonen were artists in the same agency, and they came together to participate in the role selection of the movie "Model Student" this time.

Pursing her lips, Nonen Rena glanced at Kawashima Kaihe who had an inquiring look on her face, and immediately shook her head decisively.

Although they are artists in the same agency, her relationship with Kawashima Umika is not very friendly. The two are pure competitors.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, because Kawashima Kaihe climbed up a high branch, Rena Nonen, who was already in a weak position, was faintly suppressed in the office.

This made Rena Nonen not like Kawashima Umika. Coupled with the instigation of acting teacher Takizawa Mitsuko, Nonen Rena was actually more resistant to Kawashima Umika.

"You have worked with Director Nakamura, so you must have some understanding..."

Seeing that Rena Nonen remained silent, Kawashima Umika thought that the other party's silence was just because of her low mood, so she continued to speak without giving up.

"Senior, I really don't know. I have no specific contact with Director Nakamura."

Although she was a little annoyed by the question, Kawashima Umika was a senior in the firm after all, so Rena Nonen could only hold back this response.

The sincere expression on his face made it easy for people to trust him at first glance, so although Kawashima Kaihe was a little confused, he did not have any doubts.

After all, Reina Noenen is an unknown and transparent person, and it is really unlikely that she will be related to a famous supervisor.

Kawashima Kaihe couldn't get the answer he wanted, so he looked at his colleagues in the team gloomily.

Although not everyone knows him, Kawashima Umika is basically an impression of the slightly more famous artist.

"Take Sato, Masaki Sugata, Yuya Yanagaku, Shota Sometani, Kiko Mizuhara, Ayaka Miyoshi, Atsuko Maeda, Nana Komatsu..."

"Hongo Kanata, Araki Yuko, Takei Saki, Arimura Kasumi, Hashimoto Ai, Honda Tsubasa, Miura Haruma, Yamazaki Kento, Fukushi Sota, Katayose Ryota..."

Kawashima Kaihe stretched out his body quietly and took a careful look at his colleagues in front and behind the team. There were too many familiar faces.

Some are well-known actors who have already made a name for themselves, some are models who are well-known in the magazine field, and even idols who are well-known in the idol field.

In short, none of the artists who can participate in the selection of roles in the movie "Model Student" are simple.

After all, if you are a pure newcomer with no connections at all, you will not even be able to pass the preliminary stage and will have no chance of appearing in this corridor.

Therefore, even if you look at the newbie, even though he may not have debuted yet, if he can appear here, he must be highly valued by the affiliated firm.

"Hey, who is that again?"

Suddenly hearing Kawashima Umika's surprised tone, Reina Nounen, who had her head buried, couldn't help but raise her head and subconsciously turned her head to look over.

I saw the young woman who seemed to be a supervisory assistant leading a young and beautiful girl from behind. The two chatted while walking and seemed quite harmonious.

Behind them, there was also a young man with a calm face. After taking a closer look, Reina Nounen recognized the man as Shoji Ojo, a supervisory assistant.

She wanted to say hello, but Umika Kawashima next to her made Rena Nonen a little worried. In addition, she didn't know if the other party remembered her, so Rena Nonen chose to remain silent.

On the contrary, Arimura Kasumi in the team took the initiative to greet Ojo Shoji, and Ojo Shoji who heard the voice also responded enthusiastically to Arimura Kasumi.

Judging from the familiar posture of the two people, they looked like old acquaintances. In the eyes of everyone in the queue, they immediately aroused countless feelings of envy and jealousy.

Of course, Arimura Kasumi noticed the complicated looks in her colleagues' eyes, but she didn't pay too much attention.

The entertainment circle is a very realistic circle. As long as she can succeed, no matter how big the opinions of her colleagues are, they will not have any impact on her.

Since she has established a relationship with the famous supervisor Masahiro Nakamura, even if she cannot be publicly recognized, it does not prevent Kasumi Arimura from seeking benefits.

For example, in the current role selection for the movie "Model Student", although Nakamura Masahiro did not make arrangements, Arimura Kasumi still signed up at the instigation of her agent.

After all, regardless of whether there is a chance to star in the role, it is still good to give it a try. Anyway, Masahiro Nakamura has not expressed any objection, maybe he is willing to give it a role?
