Japanese big things

"Okay, if that's the case, then it's decided to be Fushi Cangtai."

Nakamura Masahiro made a decision, and the other judges had no objections, so the matter was settled. So, Oshiro Shoji on the side took up a pen and started recording in the record book, and noted Fukushi Sota's name.

Behind the character.

Later, another applicant for the interview walked in under the guidance of the staff. This was a young girl with slightly longer hair hanging on both sides. Her childish appearance was pure and sweet, except for the small ridges under her cheeks.

The mole is slightly more conspicuous.

She walked slowly to the center of the room, where every applicant for the interview would stand. The look on her face was a little nervous, and her whole body seemed a little reserved. Her little hands with nowhere to rest were rubbing her skirt back and forth.

The pose reveals the girl's inner uneasiness.

"Hello, seniors, my name is Ai Hashimoto."

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of many judges, the girl felt a stiffness in her body. Her originally smooth self-introduction was stumbling, so she paused, summoning up the remaining courage in her heart, and seized the opportunity to say it in one breath.

The words were finished smoothly.

"Born from Kumamoto Prefecture, I am a newcomer from sony.music.artists office."

The so-called sony.music.artists office, referred to as SMA, is a management company under Sony. Although it is slightly weaker than Yanyin Office, it is also a well-known force in the Japanese entertainment industry, and even because of its backing

Thanks to Sony, the actual strength is far beyond that.

"Hashimoto-san, please start your performance."

The judges all maintained a serious expression, and their silent posture was intimidating. The one who spoke was a young man on the side. His gentle smile and polite words gave Hashimoto Ai, who had always been nervous, a little relief.

provided some relief.

"Hi."

Subconsciously responding, Hashimoto Ai pursed her lips and tried hard to control her still nervous mood and become normal. Then, she breathed a long sigh of relief and faced the scrutiny of the judges.

Under tremendous pressure, the performance began.

As expected by the judges, and similar to most of the applicants who participated in the interview, Hashimoto Ai's acting skills were very green. Well, they were only slightly better than those of amateurs. At least she was not afraid of the camera.

.

If judged from the perspective of a professional actor, then her acting skills are definitely not up to standard. But considering that she is a newcomer, it becomes not so difficult to understand. A newcomer inherently means inexperience and lack of experience.

Acting strength.

Perhaps, in the eyes of sony.music.artists Office, she has little strength, so she has not received enough attention yet. Otherwise, with the strength and energy of sony.music.artists Office, she will not be allowed to do so at all.

She went to a local TV station like Hokuriku Broadcasting to attend an interview.

You know, the center of the Japanese entertainment circle has always been in Tokyo, where there are many resources and opportunities. There are even many Sony-affiliated companies and related companies with business dealings. As long as Sony pays a little more attention, will Hashimoto Ai still be afraid?

No chance?

The short audition ended quickly. After completing her performance, Hashimoto Ai returned to her original position and stood quietly, waiting for the judges' comments. She felt very nervous, and her face showed anticipation and anxiety.

Intertwined expressions.

Hashimoto Ai is very self-aware about her acting skills, which are just a little better than those of ordinary people. Therefore, she never expected to impress the judges in front of her with her acting skills, she just hoped that they would like her.

A certain advantage in order to get a role.

After all, before coming for the interview, the agent had already made enough inquiries. Hokuriku Broadcasting, a local TV station, only produced a small-budget TV series that was lacking in all aspects. The production team was also led by an unknown young supervisor.
It is precisely because of these unfavorable factors that famous artists are not very enthusiastic about this TV series. Few people are willing to come all the way to participate in interviews. They have the time and energy to go to Hokuriku Broadcasting.

It’s better to actively strive for opportunities from the five major private broadcasting stations and NHK TV stations.

Therefore, those who are really willing to come for interviews are amateurs who aspire to the entertainment industry or newcomers to various agencies, and they are still the kind that are not taken seriously. To put it mildly, the competition is fierce, and to put it bluntly, they are just a talent.

Chickens peck each other.

Well, these newcomers who come for interviews are basically at the same starting point, and their level and strength are almost the same. The newcomers in the firm are only slightly better than the amateurs. They are not afraid of the camera and have enough courage.<

"Thank you very much for your registration. Please go back and wait for notification. We will notify you of specific news within three days."

The expected comments did not appear. Hashimoto Ai only saw the judges looking at each other and after a silent exchange, they quickly gave her such a conclusion. There was no comment and no result, just

Let me go back and wait for notification.

"Thank you."

There was a hint of disappointment in her heart, but it was also mixed with a sense of luck, which was indescribably complicated. Hashimoto Ai bowed solemnly, then uttered these words, and then slowly exited the audition room.
"She is a newcomer to Sony. How about giving her a role too."

"I can't give her the leading role, just arrange a supporting role. Her acting skills are very raw and a bit stiff, and she can't support the main role."

"Since Yanyin's face has been given, Sony's face must also be given, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."

As Hashimoto Ai's figure disappeared from the door and the door of the audition room was closed, the dull atmosphere suddenly became more lively. The judges expressed their opinions. Well, the general meaning is that Sony cannot be offended.

p>

"Okay, let's give her a role."

With a slight nod, Masahiro Nakamura made a decision, and then gestured to Shoji Ojo: "A supporting role with a bit of drama will be enough. After all, Sony also needs to give face."

There is a first time for everything, so there will be a second and third time. Sota Fushi, who was recommended by Yanyin Office, was hired, so Ai Hashimoto, who is affiliated with Sony, cannot be easily eliminated. It is not necessary to give the starring role.

, but a supporting role with some drama still has to be given.

After all, Sony's name should not be underestimated. Even if its main business is not artist management, its strength and energy far exceed that of ordinary firms. Even though Yanyin Firm is a big force, it really meets Sony.

, then you have to make some concessions.

Shoji Oshiro made a note in the notebook, and after thinking for a while, he wrote Hashimoto Ai's name behind the character. Then, the audition continued, and another cautious newcomer came in from the outside and stood slowly in the room.

Right in the center.

The hands of time jump forward minute by minute, always reminding people to pay attention to the time that passes silently. Just like a rumbling tram, the forward posture is like a soaring rocket, flashing in the blink of an eye.

Passed.

Unknowingly, the time came to close to twelve o'clock. The audition work was temporarily suspended, and the audition room became a closed space. The judges who maintained serious postures sat in a group together, eating takeaway lunch boxes provided by the TV station, and from time to time

Exchange ideas with each other.

"Nakamura-san, what are your criteria for casting?"

After everyone discussed with each other for a while, they exchanged some opinions. Suddenly, Tanaka changed the topic to Nakamura Masahiro and asked him about his selection criteria for TV series roles.

Immediately, everyone else also turned their attention to Nakamura Masahiro, curious about how he would answer. After all, Nakamura Masahiro is the person in charge of the TV series, and the selection criteria and employment principles of the characters all depend on his thoughts.

Although Masahiro Nakamura behaves in a good-natured and gentle way, he is like the warm supporting characters in those pure love dramas, as if he is harmless to humans and animals without the slightest aggression. But they will not forget that this young supervisor now holds great power.

, no one dares to get into trouble easily.

"Actually, the criteria for casting are very simple, as long as they meet the needs of the character."

Facing everyone's gaze, Nakamura Masahiro pondered for a moment. He had already drafted the script and said: "Everyone has read the script, right? The script of "Runaway Youth" seems to be about youth and love.

elements, but in summary, it is actually a simple idol drama."

"Since it is an idol drama, it must be produced according to the standards of an idol drama. What are the elements of an idol drama?"

Seeing that everyone seemed to be deep in thought and thinking seriously, Nakamura Masahiro paused, and then continued to add: "First, actors must be beautiful and handsome. This is the first point to attract the audience. Only handsome enough

Only with beautiful actors will everyone be willing to watch. If the actors are too ugly, not only will the audience not be able to stand it, I guess you will also feel uncomfortable with it, right?"

This statement is straightforward enough, and it can be regarded as a clear statement from Chi Guoguo. However, it can be said that it speaks to everyone's heart. The consensus of Japanese society is to pursue beautiful things. There are some mavericks, but they are definitely weird.

and a very small minority of people with eccentricities.

"Secondly, the plot must be mainly about youth and love. The main story cannot be too complicated and must be simple enough. If it is too complicated, it will not be very friendly to the audience. Of course, for the sake of watchability, there can be more

A little twist."

Everyone nodded one after another, agreeing with Nakamura Masahiro's words. They all have been in the industry for many years, and their abilities may not necessarily be very strong, but their knowledge of idol dramas is also at a certain level.
