Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 135 What is the relationship between

Bei Chengshi felt that he was probably being harassed.

He was really being harassed.

Just like now——

"Hello? This is Bei Chengshi, how are you? Who is this?"

When the phone was connected, Bei Chengshi took the initiative to say hello.

However.

Silence——

There was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Only the occasional slight breathing sound told Bei Chengshi that there was actually someone on the other end of the phone.

He was about to continue talking.

However, before he could open his mouth, the phone was hung up by the other end.

"What's going on?"

Bei Chengshi was a little confused.

Since this morning, he has received three calls that were just called but didn't say a word.

Could it be a harassment or fraud call from Japan?

It's really possible.

You should know that not only in China, but in Japan, telecommunications fraud is actually quite rampant, even vaguely surpassing China.

Because personal privacy is more confidential, most Japanese lack experience in dealing with telecommunications fraud.

So many Japanese have been deceived, or have been deceived.

This kind of phone call that is made specifically but without any voice may be a new type of fraud.

After all, AI voice synthesis technology is relatively mature now. As long as different voice samples are collected, his voice may be synthesized.

If that is the case, let alone others, people like Kitasumi Yubo will be fooled as soon as they hear his voice.

Kitasumi Shi became alert and decided that next time the other party called, he would not speak, but would see what the other party wanted to do.

He laid his phone flat, waiting for the call while not forgetting to talk to Kitagawa Ruiko beside him.

Recently, the time is getting closer to the end of the year, and it is almost time for Japanese elementary schools to have winter vacation.

This is also the case for Metropolitan Nerima Elementary School.

The holiday is approaching.

The elementary school children naturally became restless.

For example, Kitagawa Ruiko.

She invited Kitasumi Shi to her house on Christmas.

But Kitasumi Shi refused.

After all, he might still be filming "Kengouden" in Kyoto on Christmas.

After all, many scenes of "Kengouden" in Kyoto have been filmed, and only some snow scenes in the original work are missing.

When it snows in Kyoto, Kenzo Tanaka will definitely not miss the opportunity to finish filming all the snow scenes first.

He probably doesn't have time to go to Kitagawa Ruiko's house.

"Is that so? It's a pity, Minoru-chan, I have work to do."

Listening to Kitasumi Mi's reasons, Kitagawa Ruiko's little face did not show a particularly lost expression, and her chubby calves in white socks were also kicking happily under the table.

After all, being rejected by Kitasumi Mi was within her expectations.

She just wanted to talk to Kitasumi Mi a little.

Kitasumi Mi's thoughtful look made Kitagawa Ruiko, who was holding her cheek with her hand, accidentally look into his mind.

Sure enough, Minoru-chan is so handsome when thinking.

She thought secretly and decided to invite Kitasumi Mi to her house again next time, and her cute face smiled again.

"Then are you ready, Minoru?"

"Ready for what?"

Kitasumi Minoru glanced at Kitagawa Ruiko

"That's it, isn't it almost time for the final exam?"

"Oh——"

Kitasumi Minoru replied nonchalantly.

He seldom paid attention to school matters.

After all, the schoolwork in elementary school was easy, and his attendance rate was sufficient.

Now that Kitagawa Ruiko said that, he remembered that there was such a thing as an exam.

Exam.

This is something that most students hate very much.

A small number of students with excellent academic performance only need to consider taking the exam seriously, but most students with average or even poor academic performance have to consider more.

Review, review, and focus. These are all what they need to consider.

And Kitagawa Ruiko is one of them.

Her grades can only be said to be average in the class, and she is the type that is not as good as the best but better than the worst.

For the upcoming academic level test, she is more or less uneasy.

The little leather shoes that were originally kicking happily stopped a little at this moment.

A pair of big eyes also looked at Kitasumi Shi eagerly.

This expression is so easy to understand

that Kitasumi Shi shook his head helplessly.

He knew that talking about this topic would make him unhappy.

But why did this little girl have to chat with him awkwardly?

But forget it.

"If Ruiko doesn't have much confidence, I can tutor you after class."

"Hey? Really? Won't it affect Shi-chan?"

Kitagawa Ruiko widened her eyes in surprise.

In her impression, Kitasumi Shi was either busy with work or alone in school flipping through some literary novels that she couldn't understand at all.

With Shi-chan so busy, does she really have a chance to monopolize him?

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's just one more tutor. Ah, sorry."

Kitasumi Shi coughed--almost let it slip.

Because he had to maintain his excellent academic performance in school, but he himself was unwilling to do homework, and basically handed it over to the three naughty kids who had bullied the original owner before, which led to problems.

What Bei Chengshi wants to maintain is his image as an excellent student.

But the overall academic level of the three naughty kids who bullied the original owner is not very high. So what should we do at this time?

The answer is very simple.

Kitasumi Shi kindly used Kitasumi Youbo's printer to print a box of elementary school test papers for them, and told them in a friendly manner that they must finish these exercises.

The results are gratifying.

Under his training, the three naughty kids turned over a new leaf, their academic level rose sharply, and there were basically no mistakes in the homework they did.

It can be called a win-win situation.

Of course.

Of course, this method cannot be used to treat Kitagawa Ruiko.

After all, the other party is a girl, and she has helped him before, and can be regarded as his friend in elementary school.

Thinking of this, Kitasumi Shi smiled and said: "Anyway, if you don't understand anything in the future, Ruiko can bring it to me, as long as I have time, I will tutor you."

He finished speaking.

Kitagawa Ruiko on the other side did not answer, but became a little silent.

This made Kitasumi Shi a little strange.

He was about to ask what happened to the other party.

Then——

"Great! I like Shi-chan the most!"

The silent Kitagawa Ruiko cheered, and then under Kitasumi Shi's somewhat surprised gaze.

She stood on tiptoe and smacked his cheek.

"Uh"

Kitasumi Shi couldn't help but touch his cheek.

Good guy.

I've always attacked others.

This is the first time I've been attacked by someone.

And I guess they used something like children's lip balm.

Kitagawa Ruiko smelled a little sweet like apples.

"Oh, sorry, Shi-chan, that... is it disgusting?"

The little girl who was so excited just now seemed to have discovered her mistake at this time.

A slight blush appeared on her soft and white face in an instant.

"How can it be disgusting? Boys are treated like this by girls, and they are too happy to be happy, but Ruiko, this kind of action is best not to do it to other boys except your family."

Kitasumi Shi smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the other party should not care.

It was just a little girl, so he didn't really care.

And how should I put it.

He was in a good mood at the moment - he felt like he had raised a daughter.

So he said a little more.

"Yeah! I only do this kind of thing for my dad and Minoru-chan!"

With a happy smile on her face, Kitagawa Ruiko nodded vigorously.

As expected, she likes Minoru-chan the most!

While coaxing Kitagawa Ruiko, she waited for the 'scam' call to come.

What Kitasumi Mi didn't expect was that the 'scam' call didn't come.

The second salted radish in his family, Tamura Koji, called.

His voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited.

"Kitasumi-kun! Come to work! And it's a very popular job! It's completely different from the last "Passion and Love"!"

"Popular job?"

"Hey? Kitasumi-kun, don't you know?"

Listening to Kitasumi Mi's questioning on the other end of the phone, Tamura Koji was also a little surprised.

"I heard from the crew of "Night Walk" that their director called you three or four times today. I thought you already knew it, Kitasumi-kun."

Tamura Koji is now almost used to being fed by Kitasumi Minoru, and is also used to Kitasumi Minoru's "fully automatic" job search function.

This time, the crew of "Night Walk" took the initiative to call him.

He thought it was Kitasumi Minoru who found the job again.

He lost some motivation on the spot and became a big salted radish.

But now it seems that this is not the case?

"The director called me? Three or four times?"

When he heard this, Kitasumi Minoru's fingers moved.

He was a little puzzled.

You know, from this morning to now, he has only received three "fraudulent" calls in total, and the other party didn't say anything at all.

Could this be what Tamura Koji said about the "call from the director"?

Hiss.

What kind of quirk is this?

Kitasumi Minoru doesn't understand.

If you want to talk about work, shouldn't you explain it directly on the phone?

What the hell is it that calls and doesn't say anything?

But forget it.

I can only say that there are all kinds of monsters in the industry.

Although it is rare for a director to have quirks, it is not strange.

The most important thing now is——

"What is the new job like?"

Kitasumi asked while distributing the homework on hand to the "three naughty kids" who were waiting for him outside the classroom early.

"It's a TV series called "Night Walk."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Tamura Koji couldn't wait to explain.

"Kitasumi-kun, you will never guess that "Night Walk" is the hottest TV series this season, no doubt about it."

"Really?" Kitasumi's fingers paused for a moment: "What exactly is the situation?"

He has always been in the film-related circle, and he has not paid much attention to TV series.

"First of all, Director Shiraishi of "Night Walk", Kitasumi-kun should know it? It is Director Shiraishi Jun, who is considered an absolutely first-class director in the industry. Last year, he also won the Japan's annual best director award."

"I know this."

Kitasumi nodded. After all, he has been in the industry for so long, and he is familiar with the name Shiraishi Jun.

I heard that he is a director who is very good at shooting mystery dramas and documentaries.

"Then there is the work "Night Walk", which is the hottest TV series this season, with an average audience rating of 13.08%."

"That's true."

If he only listened to what Tamura Koji said before, Kitasumi would not have any psychological fluctuations.

After all, fame is all fake, and Japanese people like those middle school words such as "strongest", "most fierce", and "explosive", which are not as good as meeting in person.

But the ratings are different.

This thing is a real result.

The average ratings are 13.08%.

This result can be said to be quite terrifying.

You have to know that now is not the golden age of Japan's TV industry.

After the impact of short videos, mobile video websites, novels and other online industries.

Now Japan's TV ratings are actually on the decline.

Many major TV stations have opened network ports, which is enough to show the impact of the gradually emerging Internet industry on the traditional TV industry.

The ratings are 13.08%, which is worth mentioning even in the golden age of the TV industry.

Not to mention the current general decline in the environment.

This result is even more valuable, and it is no problem to say that it will be a big hit this quarter.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is-

"The original work of "Night Walk" is a very famous social mystery novel in Japan, and it has won the Naoki Prize before."

"Naoki Prize?"

Kitasumi touched his chin.

It seems that the lineup this time is indeed very valuable.

Unlike the last "Passion and Love", except for the filming crew, it is basically a pit.

You have to know that the social status of a novel that can win the Naoki Prize, which is known as the highest award in Japanese literature, cannot be too low.

Add the bonus of "mystery novel", and it's even more terrifying.

The Japanese like mystery novels very much-really like them.

To what extent do they like them?

Judging from the book list, among the most popular books in Japan, at least 60% to 70% are mystery novels.

This shows how popular mystery novels are in Japan.

That is

"I wonder what the relationship is between "Night Walk" and "White Night Walk"?"

Kitasumi's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

He took the Naoki Award, and it was another social mystery novel.

This reminded him of a social mystery novel author named Higashino in his previous life.

But no matter what -

"The job opportunity is right in front of me, there is no reason not to."
