Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

The press conference of Takeo Mikawa's retirement attracted a lot of attention.

As Kita Sumire, who stood next to the old man at the press conference, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

At this moment, Kita Sumire really reaped the dividends of Takeo Mikawa's retirement.

There is no obstacle on the road ahead.

Similarly, as Takeo Mikawa's last work, "The Reason I'm Here" also attracted a lot of attention.

Many people even booked pre-sale tickets for "The Reason I'm Here" on the Internet just for the name of Takeo Mikawa.

Just look at the effect of the movie's publicity.

The popularity of "The Reason I'm Here" is even on par with the popularity of several commercial films released at the same time, and even ahead.

It's no problem to say that this effect is a great success.

The major investors of those commercial films were so depressed that they almost vomited blood-mainly because they were really disgusting.

They can get popularity because they spend a lot of manpower and physical energy on publicity in various places to create such a lively appearance.

Real money is poured into the pit of publicity.

Who would have thought that the movie "The Reason I'm Here" would hit the jackpot?

First, "Fireworks" became popular.

Then, Takeo Mikawa retired.

The industry has been very popular recently.

It's hard not to be popular, right?

It is under such a high profile.

The time has finally come to the release date of "The Reason I'm Here".

Sato Takuya, 7 years old this year.

As a pink newcomer who has just finished the training of a shoujo and officially entered the shoujo industry.

His name is not cute.

First of all, the name "Sato" is one of the most common surnames in Japan, and the name "Takuya" is a little uncute. It doesn't sound like a shoujo, but rather a blacksmith or carpenter.

Although there is no strict requirement for a shoujo name.

But a shoujo must at least ensure the uniqueness of his name. At least it needs to attract the attention of the producer and the TV station's producer among many shoujo materials.

For this reason, it doesn't matter if the name is a bit exaggerated.

Therefore, after officially taking charge of him, Sato Takuya's agent gave him a task.

That is to let him come up with a cute and representative stage name.

But

"Inuyama-san, didn't you ask me to come up with a cute stage name? Why did you suddenly bring me to the movie theater? If possible, I don't want to spend my time watching movies."

Raising his fair little face, Sato Takuya spoke with disgust.

He had received a whole year of training as a shoujo, and finally stood out from many children and became a formal shoujo.

If possible, he would rather hope that the Inuyama agent in front of him could assign him a decent job instead of taking him to the movie theater to watch movies.

You should know that the year after a shoujo debut is the most critical period.

The training center will observe your situation within this year.

If he still can't get a role in a TV series or movie within a year, he is likely to become an ordinary shoujo, and he will only take on some minor roles in the future.

But in such a critical period of time.

His own agent actually brought him to watch a movie.?

Is this a joke?

Do you have the energy?

"I want to be the best actor in Tokyo!"

His expression was full of complaints, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Inuyama's agent.

Inuyama's agent on the side didn't care about Sato Takuya's attitude, but just looked at his own actor for a second and sighed in his heart.

It is said that the actor industry is a demon that devours children, swallowing them into its stomach, chewing them, and then "spitting" them out.

The child who was "spitted out" still looks like the same child, but has lost the most important innocent nature of a child.

The Sato Takuya in front of him is the same.

He is only 7 years old this year, but he is full of words like becoming famous, making money, being successful, and participating in roles.

Thinking of this, Inuyama's agent took over Sato Takuya's words.

"Sato boy, you mean you want to be the best actor in Tokyo, right?"

"Of course I am sure!"

Sato Takuya looked at Inuyama's agent with an expression of "what are you saying for granted?"

The main reason is that the other party's words are indeed a bit nonsensical.

Tokyo No. 1Tokyo is the heart of Japan's economy. Becoming Tokyo No. 1 is equivalent to becoming Japan No. 1.

This is what all kotokusei dream of.

As long as he can achieve the achievement of "No. 1".

Whether it is the recognition of outsiders or the praise of his parents, it will fall like snowflakes, and he will no longer have to continue to accept various types of kotoku training as before.

"In this case, you should watch today's movie even more."

Manager Inuyama said while reaching into his arms, looking as if he was going to take out a cigarette.

But looking at Sato Takuya in front of him, his palm turned around and shrank back awkwardly, and continued: "If you are aiming for No. 1, then you should look at the style of the current No. 1 kotokusei in Japan."

"Japan's No. 1 kotokusei? Are you talking about Kita Sumire?"

Hearing the implication of the agent in front of him, Sato Takuya raised his head.

"Not bad."

Inuyama’s manager nodded: “It has been three years since Kitasumi-kun debuted, and he has worked his way up from the bottom to where he is today. To be honest, his growth is considered to be the ‘Kitasumi miracle’ that cannot be replicated in the industry.”

In addition to a slight headache, his words were full of admiration and admiration.

The main reason is that Kitasumi-kun’s growth as a stuntman is indeed too rapid.

Last year, everyone thought that being a first-class stuntman was his limit.

But who knew that only one year had passed.

He has millions of followers on social networks, and has won many honorary awards?

This is indeed too exaggerated.

He sighed over there.

But on the other side, Sato Takuya frowned and spoke with a sour tone.

“I don’t think he is as good as you say.”

As far as Sato Takuya knows, Kitasumi-kun got the main villain role in “The Grudge” when he debuted.

And after the filming of “The Grudge” was finished.

Kitasumi then got the main role of "Nogi Natsuko" in "Natsuko Kidnapped".

Later, he got the role of "Kenichi Aoki" in the manga-adapted movie "Kengouden".

After that, he played the main role in "Little Canteen" and the online drama "Love and Passion".

This must be due to the great cultivation of Kitasumi's agent and the AR sub-actor training center.

And so many filming resources are piled up.

It's hard for Kitasumi not to be popular, right?

Sato Takumi is also very confident in himself.

He thinks that as long as the training center gives him the same resources, he can still replicate Kitasumi's "first" path.

However——

"Sato boy, I think you seem to have misunderstood something."

Inuyama's agent saw through Sato Takuya's thoughts at a glance: "According to the information we have in the industry, before Kitasumi Minoru became famous from the bottom of the class, the AR class training center did not give him many decent resources, and his agent also basically treated him as a non-existent class."

"How is this possible?!"

Sato Takuya's chubby face showed an expression of disbelief.

No decent resources?

The agent also treated Kitasumi Minoru as non-existent?

His incredible expression paused, and then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and looked at Inuyama's agent.

"Inuyama-san, although I am only a 7-year-old child, you can't fool me like this, right?"

Yes, he did not believe Inuyama's agent.

He just felt that he was fooled by the other party.

Because in this situation where there is no resource tilt at all, what can a classmate do?

"It can't be that Kita Sumire relied on his own ability to talk to directors and producers, and then fought his way out of all the competition, right?"

At that time, Kita Sumire was only about 7 or 8 years old, right? He is about the same age as he is now.

How could a child with no connections and capital achieve this?

Sato Takuya was still planning to say something.

However——

"That's why Kita Sumire's road to fame is called a 'miracle'."

Put down his hand.

Interrupting Sato Takuya's intention to speak, Inuyama's agent looked at Sato Takuya.

This time, Sato Takuya was really silent.

Because he could feel that there was no intention of joking or fooling him in Inuyama's words.

This means. Is it true?

But how is it possible?

Sato Takuya didn't say anything either.

Looking at Sato Takuya who was silent in front of him, Inuyama's agent had a little more satisfaction in his eyes.

Sato Takuya has good talent. He stood out from many other shoujos after only one year of shoujo training. He can be considered a "talent".

But the only problem is that he is too arrogant.

He always looks like the best in the world and looks down on everyone.

When talking about Tachibana Ayumi and Hosokawa Shibaizumi, they all look at them as "dead bones in a tomb".

This attitude is not a good thing for shoujos.

As a shoujo, you can be confident, but you must not be arrogant.

After all, confidence is a calm judgment based on your own strength, but arrogance is completely unable to see your own abilities - such children will find it difficult to stand up again after experiencing a failure.

In the industry, failure is common.

Even when Kita Sumire was filming "Night Walk", the ratings were once a Waterloo.

It's a rare premiere of Kita Sumire's movie.

Just bring him here to see what the real "number one" strength is!

After taking a step forward, Inuyama's manager did not continue to preach, but only added the last sentence: "Whether I am deceiving you or not, you will know after you watch this movie and see Kitasumi's first performance."

"Okay."

Sato Takumi also nodded.

His stubborn temper also came up, and he is still very unconvinced until now.

Because

How could there be such a child actor in this world who can make a name for himself in the industry by relying solely on his own strength, without relying on "adults' help" at all?

This kind of thing is simply impossible!
