Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Although Qingshuishan added Bei Chengmin's scenes in "The Grudge".

But compared to the overall situation, these additional lenses are actually not too many.

Therefore, in addition to being on standby with the "Grudge" filming team for filming, Kitami Minori will also ask Tamura Koji to help find new jobs from time to time.

So when he heard Tamura Koji running over to say hello, Kitami Minoru was not too surprised.

He straightened up and tilted his head curiously.

"What new job?"

"Well, how should I put it? It's similar to kendo demonstration or something like that."

After carefully looking at the job invitation in his hand, Tamura Koji spoke thoughtfully.

".Is this this kind of job again?"

Kitaki Minoru just listened to the beginning and instantly lost interest.

Probably because of the Jade Dragon Flag Capture flag some time ago.

Therefore, many TV stations will invite Kitumi to participate in variety shows, hoping that he can show off his kendo prowess on the stage.

Although it was called a 'show', it was actually a pile of straw mats prepared for Beicheng to cut down with a utility knife.

They also asked Kitumi to pose in some particularly good-looking poses in front of the camera, similar to Kenichi Aoki's.

In addition to the popularity of Yulongqi, they can also enjoy the popularity of the character Aoki Kenichi in "Swordsman Den".

Beicheng Minoru was fooled once and didn't want to go again.

The swordsmanship of Beicheng Sword Master is also a killing swordsmanship after all.

Although it is impossible for the TV station to find a few real people for him to "kill".

But at least find someone to come and fight him.

This kind of purely performance thing is not suitable for the swordsmanship of Beicheng Sword Master at all.

And the audience watching didn't pay attention to swordsmanship at all.

It’s more about watching the fun and thinking he’s so handsome and cute.

Therefore, Kitazumi is not particularly interested in this kind of show where the nature of the performance is greater than the swordsmanship itself.

but--

"This job is not the kind of performance job you think of, Beicheng-kun."

Tamura Koji raised the printed invitation letter in his hand and handed it to Kitacumi Minoru: "The organization that sent the invitation this time is the All Sword Federation, Kitacumi-kun."

"All Sword Alliance?"

Look at the sign under the corner that represents the whole sword joint printed with hot stamping and a large word 'sword' in the middle.

Kitazumi's originally indifferent expression changed.

Because the name was indeed beyond his expectation.

The All-Japan Kendo Federation, or the All-Japan Kendo Federation, can be seen from the name. This thing belongs to the official organization of Japanese Kendo and is mainly responsible for governing all kinds of strange kendo organizations across the country.

In this sense, the Kyushu Kendo Federation, which holds the Yulong Flag, is also a sub-organization of the All Japan Kendo Federation.

But it just looks bright on the surface.

If you really want to take the kendo exam and enter Dan, you still have to go to a local kendo organization to take the kendo exam.

Just like the Kyushu Kendo Federation, it is a local kendo organization.

After the Kyushu Kendo Federation passes the assessment, the Kyushu Kendo Federation will record the results and report them to the Quan Jianfeng Federation. Only in this way can a complete set of procedures be completed.

But what Beicheng Shi didn't understand was why the All Sword Federation came to find him.

After all, he is just a servant, a so-called child actor.

Even if he captured the Jade Dragon Flag some time ago, he would not have much to do with the Quan Sword Federation - after all, he is only 9 years old now, and he has not reached the minimum age for the Kendo examination at all.

It can't be that Quan Jianlian invested in a kendo movie and invited him to film it, right?

Beicheng was a little confused. He lowered his head and glanced at the item in his hand, and then suddenly realized.

The meaning of Quanjianlian is very simple.

In fact, it was to invite Kitumi Minoru to participate in a promotional event about kendo.

After all, Kitami Minori's incident of capturing the flag at the age of 9 is not only famous in the kendo circle, but also nationwide.

With such promotional materials, how could they not take advantage of it?

To put it bluntly, the other party just wanted to raise the banner of Kitumi Minoru as the '9-year-old Jade Dragon Flag Sword Master' and attract more young people to pay attention to the sport of kendo.

After all, Kendo is indeed more popular in Japan, but it is just more popular.

Compared with national sports such as baseball and football, kendo is actually not particularly popular.

Even this reward is too stingy.

I wanted him to help with advertising, but he was only willing to pay an appearance fee of 300,000 yen.

This made Beicheng Minoru sigh.

The All Sword Federation is indeed the official organization of kendo. Like other official departments in Japan, they are all very stingy organizations - giving rewards if they can, and not giving money if they can.

Seeing that Kitumi was scanning the job request, Tamura Koji fulfilled his responsibility as an agent very well and explained to him from the side.

"I just asked Quan Jianlian about the remuneration. The other party should indeed only offer 300,000 yen, but apart from this, Quan Jianlian expressed its willingness to make an exception and give you, Beicheng-kun, the opportunity to participate in the kendo entrance examination. "

"oh?"

Hearing this, Beicheng Minoru blinked: "Enter the dan assessment?"

There is a saying in Japanese Kendo called Ten Levels and Eight Dans.

This sentence also represents the Japanese kendo classification and dan system.

Most children's exposure to kendo begins with a grade exam. The smaller the grade number, the higher the grade. Level 1 is the highest level.

Wait until you are older.

Starting from about the second grade of middle school, children who have passed Level 1 can take the preliminary assessment.

Just like most of the contestants of Jade Dragon Banner.

Most of them are between the first and second dan levels of Kendo. If there are three or more third-level kendo players in the team, they can be regarded as favorites to win the flag.

There are strict age restrictions for these examination sections.

At the age of 9, Kita Chengmi could only take the test for the grade level examination, and even the 11-year-old required for the level 1 exam was not enough.

Not to mention entering Duan - you need to be at least 14 years old to be eligible for the assessment.

This time, the All Sword Federation probably saw Beicheng's outstanding performance in the Jade Dragon Banner, and also wanted to ride on his popularity and promote the sport of kendo, so it was willing to open this back door.

Just... let's be honest.

Even if he is willing to give Beicheng Minoru a chance to take the rank test, he is actually not that interested.

After all, these miscellaneous kendo-type assessments are more cumbersome than the rank assessment.

Kitami Minori prefers to just hit people with a knife when he comes on stage.

It seemed that he was aware of his son-in-law's thoughts.

Tamura Koji shook his head speechlessly and continued to speak.

"Considering that participating in this event can not only promote kendo, but also increase your popularity, Beicheng-kun, I did not refuse the other party's request. The details still depend on your thoughts, Beicheng-kun."

As an agent, Koji Tamura naturally wanted Kitami Minoru to participate in this event.

After all, this can be regarded as a win-win situation. The Quan Jianfeng Federation will use Kitumi Minoru's attention to promote the popularity of kendo among young people.

Kitami Minoru can also promote his image to some kendo enthusiasts through the Quan Jianlian, broadening the audience's channels, which is beneficial and harmless.

But in the end it still depends on Kitumi Minoru’s thoughts.

In addition to his respect for Beicheng Minoru, there are also other reasons.

After all, Kitami Minoru is now the only S-level servant in the office, and he saves the office with a national-level crying scene. He is also President Ryoko Okano's pet peeve. He is so afraid that he will melt even if he holds it in his mouth.

In this case, of course Kitami Minoru has the full say.

But that's it. Tamura Koji thought about it and added.

"It's just that in addition to the above things, I also found out something that may be of interest to you, Mr. Beicheng."

"What's up?"

"I heard that there will be a seventh-level kendo master from the ancient school of swordsmanship to conduct the assessment for Lord Beicheng, and there seems to be a link where the other party will guide Lord Beicheng."

"oh?"

This time, Kitumi Minoru, who was not very interested at first, became more energetic.

It is different from many novels that often consist of nine or ten paragraphs.

In Japan, one can call oneself an expert at the sixth level of Kendo.

Not to mention the higher-level seventh-dan swordsmanship.

This rank is known as the rank where "there is no flaw in swordsmanship, only the mentality before the war needs to be sharpened".

And listening to Tamura Koji's explanation, the opponent seems to be an ancient sect that specializes in killing techniques, which makes it even more rare.

You must know that since kendo turned to competitive kendo.

Japan's ancient style of kendo is quite lonely. Most of them have adapted to the environment and made some modifications to their own schools.

Similarly, many kendo enthusiasts have also begun to pursue the beautiful, clean and neat kendo 'style'.

Being able to delve into the ancient school and also pass the seven-stage assessment is really amazing.

And I think that there are eight, nine, and tenth kendo ranks above the seventh dan, but the mere seventh dan is nothing special.

You must know that the rank of swordsmanship does not represent the strength of the swordsman.

In fact, if the so-called eighth-dan, ninth-dan, or tenth-dan swordsmen really want to fight, they may not be able to beat the seventh-dan players.

To put it bluntly, they are too old.

You need to be at least 46 years old to take the eighth-dan kendo assessment, and you have to have obtained the seventh-dan for more than 10 years before you can take the assessment.

Ninth-dan and tenth-dan have long been unable to be assessed. Only by making great contributions to the way of swordsmanship can the All Sword Federation award the honorary titles of ninth-dan and tenth-dan.

In Japan, most people who reach the ninth or tenth level of Kendo have passed away because of their old age.

Every swordsman who can pass the examination and become an eighth-dan swordsman is very old.

If they really let go of their arms and start fighting, with the physical strength of a seventh-level swordsman alone, Old Man Bao can beat these eighth-level swordsmen to death.

"In other words, as long as I agree to participate in this event, I can fight against professional swordsmen at the seventh level of Kendo?"

It is indeed a rare opportunity to fight against a high-level swordsman who practices ancient swordsmanship.

You must know that these people who are in the seventh and eighth levels of swordsmanship are not so casual.

Beicheng Minoru became interested and asked immediately.

".It's guidance, Beicheng-kun, it's guidance."

Seeing the expression of his servant, Tamura Koji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and emphasized repeatedly.

He really didn't understand where his son's self-confidence came from. The guidance could be described as "fighting".

Could it be that Beicheng really wanted to attack that seventh-dan swordsman?

This is too exaggerated.

You must know that this time is completely different from that of Yulong Banner.

Don't look at Beicheng Minoru's impressive performance of killing 55 people in a row.

You must know that for professional swordsmen, the high school students in Yulong Banner can only be regarded as small shrimps at best, and they cannot make trouble at all.

Even if his own servant goes up, he will probably be taken away by the other party with a single blow and defeated instantly, without any disturbance.

only.

Look at Kitumi Minoru's expression of serious consideration.

Tamura Koji was a little unsure again.

hiss.

Does my son-in-law really think he can win? Is he underestimating Japanese kendo?

good! Eat something and sleep! Good night everyone!
