Japanese big things

The not-so-bright sky is slightly gray, and Tokyo is crowded with people under the setting sun. The bright glow adds a touch of bright color to the world.

Tokyo is a busy and indifferent city, where the flow of people running here and there and the flow of traffic going north and south converge, forming a repetitive daily life that is parallel but not intersecting.

The roar of the engine, the noisy noise, the deafening music, combined with the gorgeous neon lights, interweave into a performance that belongs to the city.

Workplace social workers can be seen everywhere roaming the streets and alleys. They have taken off the disguise of suits and leather shoes, and then flocked to various restaurants or izakayas in groups.

Listening to the hustle and bustle that reached his ears, Ojo Shoji leaned against the railing of the balcony and looked at the street downstairs in a trance.

Looking down from here, whether it is pedestrians walking or vehicles passing by, they all look so small.

"Senior Ojo..."

A soft voice interrupted Oshiro Shoji's reverie, causing him to come back to his senses from his state of emptiness.

"It's Yoshioka-san..."

Turning his head and taking a look, Oshiro Shoji saw that the person coming was Yoshioka Riho, the artist contracted by the agency, so he asked curiously.

"Why are you here?"

According to the agency's plans and arrangements for Riho Yoshioka, her current task is to receive professional acting training first.

Although Yoshioka Riho had received training from the Actor Development Institute before, it was only a threshold level after all, and he would definitely not reach the professional level.

Therefore, the agency specially hired a senior acting teacher in the entertainment industry to provide professional daily acting training to Riho Yoshioka.

I don’t want to train Yoshioka Riho to be an actress, I just hope that she can have the acting skills to survive in the entertainment industry.

Competition in the Japanese entertainment industry has always been fierce, although factors such as the firm's strength and personal connections can affect the selection of roles in film and television dramas.

But if the actors participating in the competition do not even have basic acting skills, then even if they are strongly promoted by the agency, they will still be eliminated by the crew.

After all, the investment in a film and television drama is often tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yen. Both the supervisor and the producer need to be responsible for the profit and loss of the work. No one dares to waste so much money.

In the entertainment industry on the other side, it is popular that traffic is king. As long as your popularity is high enough, you can still play the leading role in movies and TV series even if you don't have much acting skills.

But the Japanese entertainment industry is not good. Without acting skills, it is really difficult to play the leading role in film and television dramas. Once you fail, in addition to all-round criticism, your acting career will also hit the bottom, and it will be difficult to turn around from now on.

"Senior, I came here with Ito-senpai..."

Riho Yoshioka responded in a low voice, then walked slowly to stand next to Ojo Shoji, putting his hands on the railing of the balcony.

"What about her?"

Shoji Oshiro glanced at the direction in which Riho Yoshioka came, and did not see Mika Ito behind him.

"Senior seems to have gone to find Arimura Kasumi-san..."

With a slightly confused tone, Yoshioka Riho answered truthfully: "I don't know what happened, but Arimura Kasumi-san cried and looked very sad."

After hearing what Yoshioka Riho said, Oshiro Shoji suddenly frowned. As far as he knew, Nakamura Masahiro had no plans to give Arimura Kasumi a role in the movie "The Model Student".

It's not that Masahiro Nakamura is ruthless, but Kasumi Arimura's appearance in the movie "Model Student" doesn't make sense.

After all, Arimura Kasumi's image was not suitable for the main protagonist in the movie "Model Student", so Nakamura Masahiro naturally did not consider casting her.

As for the supporting role? Without getting the main role, there is no need for Kasumi Arimura to appear.

However, Arimura Kasumi suddenly came to participate in the audition. I am afraid that she did not discuss it with Nakamura Masahiro in advance.

This kind of reckless behavior that goes against Nakamura Masahiro's will and arrangements will undoubtedly arouse Nakamura Masahiro's resentment.

Following this line of thinking, the reason why Arimura Kasumi cried was most likely because she was reprimanded by Nakamura Masahiro, right?

"Did you go to the audition too?"

Thinking about Arimura Kasumi, Ojo Shoji casually asked about Yoshioka Riho's situation.

"No, Ito-senpai just asked me to feel the atmosphere of the interview. She said that the president will arrange a role for me..."

Although his tone of voice was very calm, Riho Yoshioka still had a somewhat complacent look on his face.

She is indeed not as good as those artists who participated in the audition, but with the arrangement of the agency, she can still get a role in the movie.

Regardless of how many roles this character plays, just being able to debut in a famous director's work is already better than most new actors in the Japanese entertainment industry.

"Be well prepared and strive to leave a deep impression in the eyes of the public..."

Shoji Oshiro warned Riho Yoshioka in an encouraging tone. If his judgment was correct, the role assigned to Riho Yoshioka by Masahiro Nakamura must be a bit player with few roles.

The reason why she was cast was just to increase her experience: in addition to talent, experience accumulation is also important for an actor's acting skills.

Judging from Riho Yoshioka's appearance, it seems that he has a lot of expectations for the role in the movie, and he is probably destined to be disappointed.

"Hi, I understand, senior..."

Riho Yoshioka responded loudly, her raised mouth corners and curved eyebrows showing her excitement.

Shoji Ojo curled his lips, not bothering to pierce Yoshioka Riho's dream. He raised his hand and glanced at the time, then walked towards the conference room, leaving only one sentence to Yoshioka Riho.

"Yoshioka-san, remember to tell Meixiang and ask her to take the time to sort out the film's sponsor information. I will need it then."

It was probably because the interview was almost over, so the corridor seemed relatively empty, with only a few figures still queuing and waiting.

When Shoji Oshiro walked past them, he could clearly see the anxiety and nervousness on their faces.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For things like interviews, the best position is to be in the middle, the second best is to be in the front of the line, and the worst is to be in the back.

They are now at the bottom of the team, but they can only accept this reality: if they cannot perform well enough, the judges in the conference room will not have much patience.

Reaching out and gently opening the door, Oshiro Shoji entered the conference room sideways. At this time, there was a girl interviewing standing in the center, and she was performing a performance with a serious look on her face.

The reviewers behind the long table all had lazy looks on their faces, and it was clear from a glance that they were not paying much attention.

Especially Yoshinori Kanemaru, who is squinting her eyes. If you don't look carefully, it would look like she is asleep.

"Thank you for your performance. Please go back and wait for notification of the specific results..."

Nakamura Masahiro saw Oshiro Shoji coming in, but he was unmoved. Instead, he recruited him after sending away the girl who was interviewing him.

"Shoji, what's going on?"

"Nakamura-san...."

Oshiro Shoji subconsciously glanced at Kanemaru Yoshinoori and Kawamura Genki next to him, and it was obvious that he wanted to avoid the conversation between the two.

"Sorry, I'll go out first."

Although he didn't know what Shoji Ojo wanted to say, Nakamura Masahiro understood and stood up. He smiled apologetically, and then left with Shoji Ojo.

Yoshi Kanemaru and Genki Kawamura looked at each other, and then took over the subsequent interview work with some helplessness, allowing Masahiro Nakamura to leave temporarily.

"I heard that Amura-san cried?"

Nakamura Masahiro followed Ojo Shoji to the corridor of the side door. As soon as he stood still, he heard Ojo Shoji's question.

"Well, you don't have to worry about this..."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't mean to deny it. He just glanced at Ojo Shoji with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Zhaoji, is this why you called me out?"

"no...."

Seeing that Masahiro Nakamura was a little impatient, Shoji Ojo felt uncomfortable bringing up the matter of Kasumi Arimura, so he quickly skipped the topic.

"Director Nakamura of Hokuriku Broadcasting called just now to confirm your cooperation time with the Cultural Promotion Fund..."

In fact, Oshiro Shoji wanted to talk about Arimura Kasumi's matter: it was not that he had any intention of intervening, but he wanted to remind Nakamura Masahiro to deal with any problems privately and not to put Arimura Kasumi's matter on the table.

After all, although many people in the industry are already aware of the relationship between Nakamura Masahiro and Arimura Kasumi, the distance on the surface still needs to be maintained.

However, when Ojo Shoji mentioned this, Nakamura Masahiro showed hesitation, which forced him to give up the idea of ​​persuasion.

"He said that the Cultural Revitalization Fund is urging them. If it can be completed earlier, it should not be delayed for too long..."

"I don't have time for the moment. The filming of the movie will start soon, so the cooperation can only be postponed for a while..."

Nakamura Masahiro frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly replied: "You should know this, is this the answer?"

"Well, Director Nakamura said that we can confirm the cooperation time until after the year..."

Shoji Oshiro looked serious and told the truth: "Movies are the most important thing, give priority to movies."

"That's fine, Shoji. Later, please take the time to contact the Cultural Promotion Fund..."

Masahiro Nakamura raised his hand and rubbed his chin, then said after careful consideration: "Well, confirm with them the specific details of the cooperation, such as the theme and content..."

"Remember to give me feedback when the time comes. I need to prepare in advance."

Cooperation with the Cultural Promotion Fund is definitely not as simple as a touch of lips. In addition to the general policy of promoting the local culture of Ishikawa Prefecture, there must be some more specific requirements.

This naturally requires detailed communication and discussion between Masahiro Nakamura and the Cultural Promotion Fund.

Although Masahiro Nakamura is Party B, he is now a powerful Party B who is being courted by the Cultural Promotion Fund, and he has a lot of say.
