Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

The atmosphere at the scene was very solemn.

Really solemn.

Director Kitano Fumi didn't speak, and none of the filming crew members dared to speak.

Kitano Wen was already furious to death at this moment.

He has been in the industry for more than ten years and has made countless classic movies. Which actor would not beg to get a role or two from him?

Today is the first time he has tasted the taste of his actors letting him go.

He looked at the cameras that had been set up and the crew members and actors who were looking at him in confusion.

An incredible emotion mixed with anger surged out of his chest.

Think back to Kitazumi's proposal yesterday.

Only then did he realize that Kitumi Minoru was really prescient.

We should just kick this bad guy away from the filming crew!

What else can I say about performance?

No one even came!

It’s obvious that he didn’t take them seriously!

Even if Kitano Fumi didn't understand the ecosystem of the Chinese industry, he already understood at this moment - this Zhou Kun has no respect for the job of an actor!

The key is that Zhou Kun's assistant has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

While the other party smiled and apologized on the phone, he also mentioned another thing.

"Speaking of which, Director Kitano seems to be planning to give the filming crew members the theme song "Hanabi" from "The Reason I'm Here" to sing?"

His voice paused.

"If possible, we can also try Zhou Kun here. His singing skills are quite good, and he has many female fans in the country. Entrusting him with the Chinese version of "Hanabi" will definitely put your mind at ease."

Good guy!

After hearing this, Bei Yewen laughed angrily.

no?

Before he could launch an attack to accuse him, the other party mentioned the Chinese version of "Hanabi" first?

Do you still reassure me?

I'm so worried!

How can such a person come up with any decent work if he can't even follow the most basic shooting plan? !

Kitano Wen stopped being polite, and his voice gradually became colder.

"Tell Zhou Kun that if he doesn't come over now for filming, he will never have to come over again."

The Buddha is famous, not to mention that Kitano Fumi is a famous director in his own right, and he has won various awards.

Even in China, many people know about his films such as "Summer" and "Wicked".

"Um?"

The other party's tone was very straightforward, so straightforward that he even said "get over here" in broken Chinese.

Now it was the assistant on the other side's turn to be stunned.

They are used to being casual with certain directors and have never been formal.

I never expected that Fumi Kitano, a foreign director, could be so tough.

Does this tone sound like you want to kick them away?

"Director Kitano, do you want to terminate our contract?"

There was some uncertainty in his tone.

"What if?"

Kitano's voice was cold.

If I don’t terminate the contract with you, is it possible that I will buy you a photo frame as a gift?

"Wait a minute, Director Kitano, Zhou Kun is really participating in a very important business event today, and he took the initiative to terminate the contract. Is there something mentioned in our contract?"

The assistant over there didn't know what to do anymore - he was just an assistant and had never seen such a scene before, so he hurriedly expressed his difficulties.

However--

"Why should I adjust my shooting schedule because of your business activities?"

"Well."

Kitano Fumi's sharp words caused the other party's words to get stuck immediately.

But it wasn't over yet, he continued to add without any fluctuation in his tone.

"And even if you take the initiative to terminate the contract, it will have no impact on us, because you violated the terms of the contract first by participating in business activities during the filming and delaying the filming progress. We can terminate your contract unconditionally."

Yes.

If the contract is terminated due to uncertain factors such as the actor's acting skills, then the filming team of "The Reason I'm Here" will have to pay liquidated damages to Zhou Kun's agency.

But this time it was different. The other party participated in business activities without legitimate reasons during the filming, which seriously delayed their filming plan. Their filming team could unconditionally terminate Zhou Kun's contract without paying any liquidated damages.

"Wait, Director Kitano, please wait a moment."

Zhou Kun's assistant was really panicked this time.

Because Fumi Kitano is completely different from the usual directors!

You know, usually even if they arrive at the filming location late, most directors will turn a blind eye and not care too much.

Why is it that Kitano Fumi has to mention the important matter of contract termination?

He couldn't understand it at all.

However, what he didn't know was that the director who needed to rely on young fresh actors to create plot selling points and attract the audience had no ability at all, and he was completely different from an internationally famous director like Kitano Fumi.

He kept shouting 'wait a minute'.

But Kitanowen didn't even bother to pay attention to him and hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone.

Kitano breathed a long sigh of relief and called Kitumi over at the same time.

"Boy Beicheng, I should have listened to you from the beginning and changed the actor who plays the male protagonist."

Looking at Kitaki Minoru in front of him, Kitano Fumino sighed heavily and recognized this subservient's foresight.

".How did the talks actually go?"

Kitami Minoru did not feel complacent because of Kitano Fumi's words - he just saw too much news about weird little fresh actors in his previous life, and he had certain psychological expectations for the behavior of this group of people.

What he cared more about than this was what actions Kitano Wen took.

"Huh? I want Zhou Kun to come here now, or else I will wait to terminate the contract."

Kitano raised his eyebrows, and while answering simply, he added: "But even if he comes over, it's already too late. I will definitely terminate the contract with him."

Yes.

This kind of actor doesn't even have the slightest respect for his own work. He doesn't expect the other party to perform well.

And asking the other party to come over now is just a simple social rhetoric.

After all, there is still a termination contract waiting for confirmation by the other party's agency.

However, what Kitano Fumi didn't expect was that after listening to what he said, Kitumi Minoru actually raised his head and looked at him with a particularly unspeakable expression.

"Director Kitano, I think you may be overthinking."

"Thinking too much?"

Kitano Wen was a little confused.

"Why does Director Kitano think they will rush over immediately?"

Kitazumi asked rhetorically.

"Isn't this possible?"

Kitano Fumi frowned.

He knew what Kitaki Minoru meant. He just thought that the other party would not pay attention to him at all and would still go his own way.

but

This is impossible no matter how you think about it.

At any rate, their filming team took the initiative to call and ask for it, and it also involved the termination of the contract.

How ignorant and arrogant is this actor to do such a thing?

Even Kitano Fumi, who has seen the tip of the iceberg of young actors, does not believe that the other party can be so arrogant.    "We'll know then."

In this regard, Kitazumi did not argue too much.

After all, these things are only clear to Chinese people who have really paid attention to some of China's weird little fresh actors.

In fact, it was just as Kitumi expected.

Zhou Kun, who received the news from his assistant, didn't pay much attention.

Mainly there's really nothing to worry about.

The salary offered to him for "The Reason I'm Here" was 7 million yen.

This is considered a salary for a front-line actor in Japan, but it only amounts to 320,000 yuan in RMB.

And his income from a simple business activity is at least 1 million RMB, which is at least 20 million yen when converted.

To be able to hire a star like him with a salary of 7 million yen, it is better to say that the filming team of "The Reason I'm Here" took a huge advantage.

As for the termination of the contract?

This must be just what the other party said.

He has a pretty good audience in China. With his greasy boyish face, he is especially popular with many little girls.

Having him appear in "The Reason I'm Here" will definitely help the box office performance of "The Reason I'm Here".

Therefore, Zhou Kun did not think that the other party would give up on him.

Therefore, in response to the assistant's reminder, he just waved his hand impatiently, telling the other person not to pay attention, while he focused on the business performance at hand.

Wait until the day's business activities are over until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Only then did Zhou Kun slowly and leisurely come to the filming crew of "The Reason I'm Here" to report, and cheerfully said hello to Kitano Fumi.

However, the expected welcome response did not come.

Instead, the other person's eyebrows furrowed and his expression became cold.

"Zhou Sang, what are you doing here?"

"Well"

Kitano Wen's cold voice made Zhou Kun pause, and his expression became a little ugly.

As the saying goes, you can't hit the smiling person even if you stretch out your hand.

Is the other party's attitude a bit inappropriate?

But when he thought that he had been careless and done something wrong, he suppressed his unhappiness temporarily and answered with a smile.

"What are you doing? I'm here to shoot, Director Kitano."

"Come here for filming? Didn't your assistant tell you? I had already sent the termination contract to your agency before."

"What?!"

The dissatisfaction drifted away.

Kitano Wen's words were like a slap on Zhou Kun's face, causing him to panic instantly.

His attitude towards the job of "The Reason I'm Here" is indeed dispensable.

It was only a salary of 7 million yen, not even a fraction of his business activities.

But the brokerage company behind him is different.

His agency pointed to Kitano Fumi and the transnational film "The Reason I'm Here" to expand his acting career. They used the film's popularity to plating him well and make it easier for him to make money in the future.

For this reason, he spent a lot of money on a special trip and asked Kitano Fumi's friends to introduce him, which gave him this opportunity.

If this opportunity is lost here because of him,

No need to think about it.

A torrent of accusations is certain.

The most critical thing is that he will also lose the way to expand the international market.

Damn it! I just went on a business trip! Are you about to terminate your contract now? !

A feeling of uneasiness emerged from my heart.

No matter how reluctant he was, Zhou Kun could only force a smile from his face.

"Are you kidding me, Director Kitano? It is true that I did something wrong today, but there is absolutely no need to make such a fuss. Termination of the contract will also cause trouble to you, right?"

"Troubled? Does Zhou Sang think that you, an 'actor' who can't even shoot a decent shot, will cause trouble to our filming team?"

Kitano's tone emphasized the word 'actor', causing Zhou Kun to instantly show an embarrassed expression.

Of course he knew what the other party meant.

But on weekdays, he is basically the one who is praised highly on the set.

Now I heard such spicy comments from the other party

The smile he was still pretending could no longer be faked, and he became a little angry.

"Director Kitano, I ask you to maintain the most basic respect for me!"

"." Kitano Wen didn't even bother to look at this person now.

Where did this idiot come from?

Don’t you know respect is mutual?

This idiot has never respected them from beginning to end, and now he wants their respect?

It was so hilarious!

Moreover, Kitano Fumi has also worked with some Chinese actors, but most of them gave him a very good impression.

This guy is the only one who has set a new limit for his career as an actor today.

The key point is that the other party is still shameless and looks like a victim. It is really despicable to the extreme!

He was too lazy to talk to Zhou Kun.

Zhou Kun didn't hesitate and called the agency.

After hearing that his assistant had indeed received the termination contract from the other party, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He put down the phone and gritted his teeth and said, "Director Kitano, do you really want to do this?"

"Um?"

Kitanowen glanced at Zhou Kun.

His Chinese proficiency is not very good, and he doesn't quite understand what "doing it so well" means.

But looking at Zhou Kun's expression, he could somewhat understand the meaning of this sentence.

That’s already the case anyway.

He was not afraid of offending the other party, so he simply put down the schedule in his hand and said, "I heard that Zhou Sang originally had plans to sing the Chinese version of "Fireworks"? But unfortunately, based on my observation of you, it's not like you treat someone like this An actor whose work is irresponsible will never be able to sing the song "Hanabi" well."

Having said this, Kitano Wen's voice paused, glanced at him contemptuously, and added.

"The Chinese version of this song will be sung by Beicheng Jun from our filming team."

"Beicheng-kun?"

Zhou Kun was stunned for a moment.

He doesn't pay much attention to Japan's prostitute industry, nor does he understand the composition of Japanese actors.

But after working together for one day, he certainly had an impression of the sub-contractor named Kitaki Minoru, who was extremely handsome and even prettier than him.

But

Isn't that a Japanese child star? !

How does he sing the Chinese version of "Hua Huo"?

Oh - that's it. I understand.

After a while of thinking, Zhou Kun, who has a ‘smart brain’, finally ‘suddenly realized’.

He said that he just accepted a business event, why did the other party go online and make a big show of terminating the contract with him.

It turns out that Kitano Fumi didn't want him to sing "Hanabi", so he kicked him out and paved the way for this kid named Kitazumi Minoru!

Shady!

There must be something shady here!

How could a Japanese boy sing the Chinese version of "Hanabi" well!

Damn thing! Just wait and see! How dare you tease me like this!

Good night everyone——!
