Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

After handing all the homework at hand to the 'three naughty kids' in front of me.

Kitaki Minoru did not hesitate and got into Tamura Koji's car.

Generally speaking, an agent like Tamura Koji actually has two or three other subordinates to take care of.

But not everyone is like Kitami Minoru, who always has job opportunities in the industry.

In addition, Tamura Koji deliberately tilted towards Kitazumi Minoru.

This has led to him now having a vague feeling of becoming Kitami Minoru's exclusive agent.

"Tamura-san, are you going to Fujidai to meet Director Shiraishi?"

"almost."

Tamura Koji nodded.

Originally, he was thinking of directly signing a contract and winning the role in "Night Walk".

But after all, it is a popular TV series nowadays.

As the director, Shiraishi Jun expressed his desire to meet Kitumi Minoru. As an agent, of course he could not ignore the director's ideas.

Fujidai where Jun Shiraishi is located is quite far away from Nerima District.

Tamura Koji drove for more than an hour before arriving at the downstairs of Fujidai.

The floors of Fuji Terrace are built very high.

Lining the river, there are water and trees, giving people a sense of leisure and contentment.

It's just that Tamura Koji and Kitazumi Minoru didn't come here to visit Fujidai.

After just a cursory glance.

The two of them followed the phone instructions from the "Night Walk" shooting team and came to the office.

Here, for the first time, Kitaki Minoru saw the true appearance of Shiraishi Jun, who called him three times today but didn't say a word.

The other person has short, straight hair, and although his facial features are not outstanding, paired with the seriousness and coldness in his eyes and expression, there is also an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Just one glance at him gave people a serious feeling that he was not easy to get along with and was taciturn.

Sitting next to the long table was probably Shiraishi Jun's female assistant.

She wore glasses, but when she saw Tamura Koji and Kitazumi Minoru, she stood up with a smile.

"Hello, are these Mr. Tamura Koji and Mr. Kitazumi Minoru from the AR Child Training Center?"

"Yes, you must be Miss Morinaga Misaki, right?"

Tamura Koji stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, smiled and nodded.

"That's right, Director Shiraishi is on the desk behind me. I came here mainly to discuss the shooting of "Night Walk" with you two."

As they spoke, the two parties half-bowed to each other, sat down and took a sip of tea. This was considered a greeting.

During this period, Shiraishi Jun basically didn't speak.

He just nodded at Kitaki Minoru and Tamura Koji.

This made Beicheng Minoru couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling a little speechless.

Apparently, it wasn't just on the phone today.

In real life, the director doesn't seem to be very talkative.

Should it be said that the industry is so big that it has all kinds of surprises?

Unlike Tohihiko Honma and Shimizuyama, this was the first time I met a taciturn director like Jun Shiraishi, Minoru Kitami.

He was a little speechless.

But before he could finish thinking, a thick script was suddenly photographed on the table in front of him.

At the same time, there was the very calm voice of Jun Shiraishi.

"This is the script for the last two episodes of "Night Walk". Your role is the protagonist Kenji Kirihara when he was a child. You will come to rehearsal in two days. Are you confident that you can do this job well?"

This sentence ends with a question.

The meaning is very simple - if you can take a picture, take it, if you can't take it, change someone.

This simple and rude attitude made both Kitumi Minoru and Tamura Koji stunned.

Mainly because Shiraishi Jun's move was too generous, too direct and crude.

The main character gave it as he was told, without any hesitation at all.

That simple and clear attitude is as if Shiraishi Jun is not playing the main role now, but a supporting role in the drama.

And 'If the picture can't be taken, then replace it'. This is too decisive.

Even Misaki Morinaga next to him held his forehead with a headache.

The own director started again.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Shiraishi Jun often makes some actions that seem unexpected to ordinary people.

If other directors want to change actors on the spot.

I'll probably have to call the actor over alone and pull it off a little bit.

However, Shiraishi Jun was different.

His attitude could be frighteningly clear.

If you can perform well, then act. If you can't, then take the next one.

If the other director assistants only need to be responsible for the important files passed down by the director.

Then it can be said that she needs to cover everything.

Among them, Shiraishi Jun's character is one of the most important reasons.

Although there is basically no malicious intent, this person really does not know how to be considerate of actors.

"Director Shiraishi, you only have two days. It's already very difficult just to memorize the script, and you also have to rehearse. Beicheng-kun is only a child. This is too much."

Morinaga Misaki stood nearby and said a kind word to Kitumi Minoru.

"Ziyi is also an actor. He is no different from ordinary actors. More than that, I want to know whether he can do it?"

Before Morinaga Misaki could finish speaking, Shiraishi Jun looked at Kitazumi.

Morinaga Misaki stopped talking now.

As an assistant, she can only give her own opinions, and the director is the final decision-maker. It is impossible for a director's assistant like her to be superior - the reality is not to star in a workplace TV series where inferiority is superior.

I just feel a little pity for this little brother named Kitazumi Minoru.

I guess you thought it would be an easy and enjoyable job when you came here, right?

After all, just by acting in "Night Walk", you can gain a lot of popularity.

It's just a pity.

His own director is completely different from other directors.

This person doesn't know what it means to compromise at all, and always looks like a businesslike manner.

Morinaga Misaki has been with Shiraishi Jun for more than two years.

During this period, he has also met many sub-actors.

But after meeting Shiraishi Jun, these sub-actors basically left crying.

This also makes Shiraishi Jun in the industry.

Especially in the sub-actor field, he has the title of "sub-actor killer".

This can be seen from the fact that he kicked Tachibana Ayumi away without hesitation.

Morinaga Misaki thinks that Kitasumi will most likely not be able to withstand the pressure from Shiraishi Jun and choose to give up.

After all, he is just a child, and if he is glared at by Shiraishi Jun, he will probably be shocked on the spot.

Not to mention memorizing the script of the main role in two days, and also having to figure out the role, and getting into the role during rehearsal.

This is difficult for adult actors, let alone a child like Kita Sumire - he still needs to go to school, and he doesn't have that much time.

However -

"Okay."

"Huh?"

Morinaga Misaki blinked in surprise, and looked at Kita Sumire who nodded and agreed without hesitation.

If it were normal times.

At this time, the agent of the son role has come up to try to communicate and said that this is really difficult, and hopes that Shiraishi Jun can give the child more time to adapt.

But what did this child say?

Okay?

Isn't this a bit too confident?

Morinaga Misaki subconsciously glanced at Shiraishi Jun beside him.

Although he didn't say anything, he obviously looked at Kita Sumire more.

Good guy!

His own director actually set his sights on this child role.

This is the first time that Morinaga Misaki has seen Shiraishi Jun's expression.

But the expression of her director was not right. Why was the expression of the actress over there a little strange?

They were clearly all under such strict requirements from Shiraishi Jun.

Why didn't Kita Sumire look embarrassed at all?

Instead, she looked very excited and thought it was worth trying?

"Hiss"

Are both of them a little abnormal?

Looking at Kita Sumire's expression.

Morinaga Misaki vaguely felt that she seemed to have figured out why her director kicked out Tachibana Ayumi, a first-rate actress in the industry, and chose the second-rate actress in the industry in front of her.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her eyes to Tamura Koji.

The other party was Kita Sumire's agent.

The actress he brought in did not have his consent, and it was more or less unreasonable to make such a decision without his consent.

You know, the agent is the key to the work of the actress.

However——

When she found that the other party was looking at her with the same eyes.

Morinaga Misaki was also stunned.

It turns out that Tamura Koji is the same as herself.

She opened her mouth, and now she actually felt a sense of sympathy.

This. is really not easy.

Your directors (actors) are a little abnormal.

The two of them felt a sense of sympathy through eye contact.

But Kita Sumire's idea on the other side is very simple.

A popular TV series like "Night Walk" is delivered to the door, and it is a main role. The temptation is too great.

He has no reason to refuse at all.

Although the request made by Shiraishi Jun is indeed a bit difficult for ordinary actors.

But that is just an ordinary actor.

Kita Sumire has a strong learning ability and it doesn't take long to remember the script.

As for the point of substitution for the role, it is not difficult for Kita Sumire at all-he has experienced other lives many times in the life experience game.

So in general, this kind of work intensity may be a bit difficult for other actors, but it is just right for Kita Sumire.

And to put it bluntly.

Work is work.

It has nothing to do with the identity of a child actor.

Since it is a job, even if Shiraishi Jun wants the stars in the sky, Kita Sumi will find a way to get them for him.

He even noticed that Shiraishi Jun was looking at him.

Kita Sumi can still find time to smile at him.

The more he looks at this director, the more he likes it.

Just like a lucky cat, which director can easily give him such an important main role?

So, even if Shiraishi Jun has the quirk of being taciturn.

Kita Sumi suddenly felt that he could accept it.

After all, who doesn't like a 'lucky cat'?

He was satisfied and stopped talking, but chose to put away the script of "Night Walk" on the table first, planning to look through it when he got home later.

The next thing is very simple.

Tamura Koji and Morinaga Misaki began to discuss the contract.

After a period of discussion, and Morinaga Misaki asked Shiraishi Jun's opinion from time to time.

Kita Sumi finally got the job opportunity without any trouble.

But it would be too inhumane to just take the job and leave.

After thinking for a while, Kita Sumi, carrying a schoolbag, walked to the expressionless Shiraishi Jun and smiled and stretched out his palm.

"Please take care of me in the future, Director Shiraishi."

"." Shiraishi Jun was still busy processing some forms.

But when he saw Kita Sumi approaching and saw the innocent smile on his handsome and cute face.

His fingers, which had never stopped working, paused for a moment.

"Yeah."

He simply responded, and at the same time, Shiraishi Jun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Kita Sumire.

The handshake was very short, probably just one or two seconds, and Shiraishi Jun continued to work.

All this happened too quickly and naturally.

However, it was such a natural scene.

It gave Morinaga Misaki a great shock.

Her mouth twitched, and her glasses were a little crooked.

You know, her own director rarely pays attention to others.

Not to mention when he is working.

When Shiraishi Jun is working, no matter who it is, rarely attracts his attention.

Even she can only say a few words to Shiraishi Jun because of work.

Not to mention greeting.

However, Kita Sumire took the initiative to approach and talk to her, and her own "expressionless" director actually responded.

This.

Morinaga Misaki was a little silent.

She felt that she must have a good rest after returning home - maybe what happened in front of her was an auditory or visual hallucination?

Morinaga Misaki fell silent.

Kita Sumire and Tamura Koji said goodbye directly.

After all, the next time is very precious.

Kita Sumire also has to spend time memorizing the script, so it is naturally impossible to continue chatting.

As mentioned before, "Night Walk" is a TV series adapted from a social mystery novel.

Its narrative method is naturally different from that of ordinary TV series.

After all, the screenwriter who knows the plot cannot directly say "this person is the murderer" at the beginning.

If he really dares to do that, it is estimated that in a few days, countless death threats from fans of the original work sent from all over Japan will fill the screenwriter's mailbox.

In order to avoid such a thing.

"Night Walk" started with a normal narrative in the first ten episodes, and the last two episodes were filmed as a whole with flashbacks.

The first ten episodes mainly tell the story of the male protagonist Kirihara Kenji who accidentally killed his father.

He and another female protagonist Nishizono Miho covered up the truth of the case for ten years.

However, the case was reopened by a middle-aged detective Junji Sasagaki. The hero and heroine competed with Junji Sasagaki, used and eliminated all their relatives and friends, and tried their best to hide the truth of the year.

The last two episodes are flashbacks.

It tells the story of how Kenji Kirihara and Miho Nishizono met and met since childhood.

In this way, the first ten episodes did not destroy the original flavor of the social reasoning story of "Night Walk".

The last two episodes can also explain the complex relationship between the male protagonists Kenji Kirihara and Miho Nishizono in "Night Walk" that goes beyond love.

This is also the important reason why "Night Walk" has been broadcast to the last two episodes, and most TV dramas have already begun to end in the last two episodes, but "Night Walk" still needs to use sub-actors.

It can only be said that Shiraishi Jun is indeed a very smart director with superb shooting techniques.

"But in this case, the requirements for sub-actors' acting skills are also very high."

After a rough look at the script, Kita Sumire touched his chin.

Yes.

"Night Walk" has no big problems in the plot, and the ratings are also very high.

If his performance as a sub-actor is extremely poor in the last two episodes.

Hmm.

It is almost foreseeable that there will be a lot of criticism.

Even with the "sub-actor" as a golden ticket, it is probably difficult to escape.

After all, Japanese people are born with an indescribable enthusiasm and obsession with mystery novels.

Real mystery novel fans will not go easy on you just because you are a child.

Destroying the classics is worth scolding.

"So what should I do next?"

He glanced at the "Night Walk" script on the table.

Kita Sumire looked at the option of [Do you want to start the life experience game] in the field of vision.

Hmm.

This is indeed a bit difficult.
