Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Kitano Fumi was very curious about Kitasumi's "magic" and even called him over to ask.

But in fact, Kitasumi didn't know any magic at all.

It was just that after discussing with Mikawa Nao, he found the problem with her acting and solved her acting problem. That's all.

Mikawa Nao's acting problem has been mentioned before - the performance lacks emotional fluctuations, and it all depends on her acting skills.

If she had performed on the same stage with other actors who were not too high in level in the past.

There wouldn't be too many problems.

Because compared with these actors, Mikawa Nao's acting is actually quite good.

The actors present are not as good as her, so naturally there will be no problems.

But if she plays on the same stage with actors like Kitasumi and Mikawa Takeo.

Then this shortcoming will be exposed in an instant.

This kind of performance without any "human touch" can easily fail to keep up with the emotional tension of Kitasumi or Mikawa Takeo.

In addition, the audience will subconsciously compare the actors.

The better the performances of Kitasumi and Mikawa Takeo, the more serious the shortcomings of Mikawa Nao in expressing emotions will be.

After all, acting is not just about playing a role, but about putting yourself into the role and thinking.

Mikawa Nao is not without emotions, but more about not knowing how to express her emotions.

As long as she can experience the fluctuations in emotions and let her get familiar with guiding her emotions into the role, the problem will be solved.

But the problem lies here. Most of the emotions can only be brewed and adjusted by the actors themselves - just like crying scenes, which require actors to brew emotions and then cry.

You can't just walk up and pinch the actor's face and make him cry, right?

But Kitasumi is different.

Looking at the 'Eyes (Deterrence)', Saeki Toshio's suit, sword power and other weird skills lying in the skill bar.

He instantly had a bold idea.

He decided to use all the weird things such as 'Eyes (Deterrence)', Saeki Toshio's suit, and sword power on Mikawa Nao.

After all, 'fear' is the most intuitive and simplest emotional expression of human beings.

As long as you can understand this, plus Nao Mikawa is a talented actor, you can draw inferences from other things, and there will be no problem at all.

That is

Before implementing it, Kita Sumire hesitated.

After all, the effects of these skills are not weak, he has experienced them personally.

On the set of "The Grudge", he even used these skills a little bit, and scared a group of adult actors to death. Several actresses even cried directly after the performance - they really cried, sitting on the plastic chair with their faces covered, twitching.

Use all these things on Nao Mikawa.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if she is really scared? This is not impossible, after all, he could scare people to tears before without using full power.

Kita Sumire was in a dilemma.

Then

Nao Mikawa, who was sitting next to him, saw Kitasumi frowning and said with concern: "What's wrong? Master Kitasumi? Have you taken a fancy to any girl on the set? Leave it to me, I'm a girl, I can help you get their contact information."

Good! Very good!

As soon as this sentence came out, Kitasumi immediately showed Nao Mikawa a friendly smile, completely lost his previous hesitation, and called her over directly.

Then?

Then it was "eyes (deterrence)", "sword force", "Saeki Toshio suit" in turn.

And Kitasumi finally saw the extremely rich emotional changes from Nao Mikawa's expressionless face.

Breathing was rapid, pupils contracted, saliva was swallowed, and even the white fingers like dolls were shaking unconsciously.

At that time, Nao Mikawa stood up and wanted to run away.

Because I don't know why, Kitasumi, who looked friendly in front of me, looked so scary!

The cute face of the child actor was horribly distorted.

The big, bright eyes were full of malice and madness.

Coupled with the ghost-like temperament and the sticky smell of blood in the air.

But under Kita Sumire's action of forcibly holding her down.

She could only tremble her teeth, her pretty face was covered with sweat, and she looked at Kita Sumire in fear, who seemed to be a different person in front of her.

That's it.

Under Kita Sumire's almost devilish high-pressure training.

Mikawa Nao, who knew nothing about emotional expression in acting, finally gradually found the way.

But

"The time is still too short."

Looking at Mikawa Nao, who had finished filming, lying on a plastic chair, with eyes wide open, breathing heavily.

Kita Sumire sighed.

Although Kitano Fumi was quite satisfied with Mikawa Nao's emotional expression.

But from his point of view, the time was too short, and the other party had just entered the door.

The reason why it looks okay is that Nao Mikawa has the acting skills that Takeo Mikawa taught her.

Her excellent acting skills, coupled with her lack of emotional expression, naturally look pretty good.

But

"That's not enough, Nao."

Kitasumi smiled and approached Nao Mikawa: "From now on, I will send you a video of a horror character I play every day. This is homework. Remember to watch it every day to experience your own emotional expression."

Gudu

Swallowing her saliva, Nao Mikawa's bright eyes showed a little fear for the first time.

This kind of teaching method similar to "fright therapy" was the first time she experienced it.

And one frightening video every day? And you have to watch it forcibly?

Could it be that Master Kita Cheng is actually a demon?

Nao Mikawa gasped and wondered about her life.

To be honest, she has probably grasped the trick of emotional expression in acting.

Especially the emotion of "fear".

If you ask her to perform now, she will definitely perform it accurately.

So Nao Mikawa secretly glanced at Kita Cheng Shi.

She felt that even if she hid it from Kita Cheng Shi and didn't watch his frightening videos, it should be no problem - at most, the progress would slow down, but that was acceptable.

After all, Kita Cheng Shi's acting was too realistic, as if he was really a child murderer. The realistic pressure made her heart beat faster when she thought about it now.

But Kita Cheng Shi on the other side seemed to have noticed her gaze and turned back on his own initiative.

"Oh--by the way, considering that Nao might want to hide the video from me, I will randomly check the details of the video. If you don't complete the 'homework' on time, then the 'homework' will be doubled next month."

"Uh"

Nao Mikawa opened her mouth.

Even though Kitasumi said this with a smile, Nao Mikawa felt an unspeakable pressure from his narrowed eyes.

In the end, she could only lower her head expressionlessly and whispered "hmm".

But this time, there was a tone of grievance in her voice.

"Very good."

Seeing that this traitor finally stopped talking weirdly like before, Kitasumi nodded with satisfaction.

He was about to say something else.

"Kitasumi boy."

A voice interrupted his idea of ​​continuing to speak.

Subconsciously turned around.

Kitasumi then realized that Takeo Mikawa was walking towards this side.

"It seems that Kitasumi boy, your teaching is going very smoothly."

He stopped and looked up and down at Kitasumi, with his eyes full of sighs.

As Mikawa Nao's grandfather, he is very clear about Mikawa Nao's shortcomings in emotional expression-to put it bluntly, there is only acting in the performance, without a bit of human touch.

For this, he doesn't know how much effort he has made, but the effect is only average.

But Kitasumi Shi did something that he couldn't do.

It's just that today is the first day of the start-up, and his granddaughter seems to have grasped some tricks.

It's incredible that she has made rapid progress in emotional expression skills.

I just don't know what kind of skills Kitasumi Shi used?

He was a little curious and glanced at his granddaughter at the same time.

Then Mikawa Takeo was stunned.

Because in his sight, Mikawa Nao was breathing heavily at this time, and the delicate face that had always been expressionless was covered with sweat.

Isn't it?

What's going on?

"Are you practicing acting? Is it so hard to practice acting?"

Looking at his granddaughter panting, Takeo Mikawa couldn't help asking.

"Ah, yes, this is a practice method I created."

Faced with Takeo Mikawa's question, Kita Sumi nodded without hesitation.

At the same time, he did not forget to turn his head and blink at Nao Mikawa.

"Yes, grandpa, we were practicing acting just now."

Feeling Kita Sumi's gaze, although his mouth moved and he wanted to say something, but under the deterrence left by the other party, Nao Mikawa finally nodded.

"Really?"

Seeing Nao Mikawa also answered in the same way.

Takeo Mikawa shook his head and did not continue to pursue it.

At the same time, in the surprised eyes of Kita Sumi and Nao Mikawa.

The old man's body, which was straight even with the crutches, bent down at this moment, and at the same time he bowed his head to express his gratitude.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for taking care of my granddaughter, Kitasumi boy."

He actually bowed to Kitasumi Minoru!

Kitasumi Minoru was a little restless now.

"What are you doing? Master Mikawa?"

Nao Mikawa knelt down, and he actually didn't feel anything.

But Takeo Mikawa was different. It was not appropriate for a 70-year-old man and a living fossil in the industry to bow to his son.

He wanted Takeo Mikawa to help him up, and he spoke hurriedly.

"Master Mikawa, you don't have to do this. You have also taken care of me a lot at work, and it is only natural for me to take care of Sister Nao."

This is a big truth.

Whether it was Takeo Mikawa's help to stand in line before.

Or the establishment of the Kitasumi Group later.

The other party helped him a lot.

If we really want to talk about gratitude, it's better for him to thank the other party.

It's just taking care of Nao Mikawa, which is really nothing.

As for Kitasumi Minoru's statement, Takeo Mikawa shook his head and said softly.

"The favor is the favor, and the thanks is the thanks."

Yes, one thing for one thing.

He is a principled man.

Although he did help Kita Sumire before, he never likes to repay a favor.

Since the other party helped his granddaughter, he naturally has to express his gratitude in his own way.

This is a matter of principle.

There is no way.

Seeing that Mikawa Takeo kept bowing.

Kitasumi shook his head helplessly and could only accept the gift from Mikawa Takeo - no wonder the other party has such a strong reputation in the industry, presumably the other party's upright character is one of the reasons.

Kitasumi accepted the gift, and Mikawa Takeo also stood up again with the help of the assistant next to him.

He continued to smile and speak.

"Actually, I came here not only because of Nao's matter, but also because of a good news about you, Kitasumi boy."

"Good news?"

As soon as he said this, Kitasumi looked over strangely.

It was under his gaze that Mikawa Takeo nodded and smiled: "This is the news I got through my internal channels. There is no announcement yet, so it's normal that you don't know."

The voice paused, and then there was a hint of congratulations.

"Kitasumi boy, you have been nominated for the Japan Academy Awards."

Hmm?

Japan Academy Awards?

Nominated?

As soon as he said this, Kitasumi's expression paused for a moment.

Then his eyebrows raised, and his face was full of surprise.

Because this is more than just good news!

This is great news!
