Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 77: For the role, you have to grasp the future director!

"Kitasumi-kun! You must come to our audition for "Kengouden"!"

Tanaka Kenzo said it again, and invited without hesitation.

The expectation on his face did not seem fake, and he did not loosen his hand holding Kitasumi's.

He looked eager to recruit talents.

However——

"Since Tanaka wants Kitasumi to play the main role so much, why don't you just appoint him? Why do you want him to audition? Isn't this redundant?"

Qiyishuishan looked at Tanaka Kenzo strangely.

Because it's just as he said.

Since Tanaka Kenzo thinks so much of Kitasumi.

Then he can just give the main role to Kitasumi.

Only give one audition opportunity, and let Kitasumi compete with other sub-roles.

Isn't this redundant?

"It's not that simple. In addition to considering the producer's ideas, I also have to consider the ideas of Mr. Mayu Watanabe."

Tanaka Kenzo finally let go of Kitasumi's hand and patted his bald head.

He felt a little headache.

If it was just a live-action adaptation of a work by a new author.

Then Kenzo Tanaka would not have to work so hard. He could discuss with the producer according to his own ideas and decide the movie roles. At most, he would ask for the original author's opinion.

But Mayu Watanabe is different.

She debuted at the age of 21, and "Kengouden" has been serialized for 21 years. This qualification is considered to be relatively old in the entire industry.

Kadokawa Pictures cannot ignore the opinions of such a senior cartoonist.

To put it bluntly.

If the other party is really angry and does not want to adapt, it is not a problem to pay a high price of tens of millions of yen to Kadokawa Pictures for breach of contract - this level of cartoonists does not lack this little money at all.

Wait for Mayu Watanabe to hand over the work "Kengouden" to other film companies for adaptation.

At that time, only Kadokawa Pictures will suffer losses.

After all, the three film adaptations of "Kengouden" can be said to be a great success, which is equivalent to Kadokawa Pictures giving this big IP to other competing companies for tens of millions of breach of contract fees.

"It's not easy for you either."

After listening to Tanaka Kenzo's words, Shimizusan was a little speechless.

Although he had just adapted and filmed the movie version of "The Grudge".

But the original author of "The Grudge", Suzuki Kusa, was quite easy to talk to.

The other party just pointed out several parts that were different from the original after the adaptation.

The rest of the time, he almost didn't intervene in the filming of "The Grudge".

Although there is a rich fan base of the original work, the old original author is really troublesome.

Shimizusan sighed a little.

"How about it? Kitasumi-kun, are you willing to audition for the main role of "Kengouden"? "

Seeing that Shimizusan over there had no doubts, Tanaka Kenzo also looked at Kitasumi Minoru.

To be honest.

Except for the age of only eight years old.

In his eyes, Kitasumi Minoru almost has no shortcomings.

He is now worried that Kita Sumire will reject his invitation.

After all, there is no guarantee of a role, only one audition opportunity.

There is no guarantee that Kita Sumire will refuse.

After all, he still has the main role of "Kidnapped Natsuko" on hand.

He has to take care of "Kidnapped Natsuko" on the one hand, and the audition of "Kengouden" on the other hand.

This is indeed a bit difficult.

However——

What Tanaka Kenzo did not expect was.

Under his gaze, Kita Sumire did not hesitate for a second, and nodded very straightforwardly.

"Of course I agree."

Yes.

Kita Sumire of course agreed, there is no reason to refuse.

The hot sub-acting in the industry can basically schedule work for three months later.

He is just getting started now?

He can only make a living.

Of course he will not give up this opportunity that is delivered to his door.

He must hold on to "Kidnapped Natsuko" and cannot miss the opportunity of "Kengouden" here!

Kita Sumire agreed.

Kenzo Tanaka finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and touched his bald head, and said:

"Fortunately, Kitasumi-kun agreed. To be honest, the casting of "Kengouden" has really troubled me for several weeks. You see, my hair is almost falling out."

Qiyishuishan and Kitasumi didn't say anything, thinking that your hair has been bald for a long time, right?

Kenzo Tanaka's head is shining brightly under the light bulb, and it is impossible to be created overnight.

But anyway.

Both parties have achieved the purpose of this meeting.

Then it's time to enjoy the kaiseki cuisine of this restaurant.

Just as Kiyomizushan said.

The taste of this restaurant is indeed good, but it's not worth the high price.

It's a restaurant that treats people like fat sheep.

But the last two adults paid the bill.

Kitasumi didn't hesitate, picked up the chopsticks and started to taste the food on the table.

But what made him feel a little speechless was

Even when eating, Kenzo Tanaka was still there to help him pick up food.

This big man's initiative to show goodwill made Kita Sumimi look up and ask:

"Director Tanaka, why do you care so much about a little actor like me?"

He was really a little strange.

Kenzo Tanaka was famous in the industry, and he was not a top actor in the industry.

Why did the other party frequently show goodwill to a little actor like him?

This attitude is very unnatural. After all, he and Tanaka Kenzo are both grown men. This attitude of the other party makes him a little uncomfortable.

Kitaki Minoru raised questions.

Tanaka Kenzo over there also coughed, a little embarrassed.

"How should I put it? Beicheng-kun is only eight years old this year, right? When I look at you, I feel like I am looking at my son. I subconsciously want to have a good relationship with you."

Tanaka Kenzo is also in his thirties this year.

It’s also the age when adults like children.

In addition, Kitami Minoru's appearance is really nothing to say, she has a kind of handsome and cute feeling.

Of course, he subconsciously wants to have a good relationship with the other party.

but

Um.

how to say?

Although he wants to have a good relationship.

But it seems that Kitumi Minoru has no such intention.

He felt inexplicably worried about gains and losses.

I can see that everything Tanaka Kenzo said was from his heart.

Beicheng Minoru here also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, at first, he thought the other party was the kind of crooked person who had thoughts about his son-in-law.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

Think of this.

Beicheng Minoru's mind began to become active.

Having a good relationship with Kenzo Tanaka is never a bad thing.

After all, what competes in the industry is the connections behind them.

Moreover, Tanaka Kenzo is the director after all, so he still has a certain degree of autonomy on the issue of the protagonist of "Swordsman Den".

If you can grasp this relationship, your future will be bright!

Think of this.

Kitaki Minoru lowered his head.

Then lift it up again.

Just like the changeable weather in summer.

Suspicion and wariness on the child's face.

It dissipated like a cloud.

Instead, there was a look of admiration for Tanaka Kenzo and a sparkling innocent smile——

"Hey - so that's it? Director Tanaka wants to have a good relationship with me. I actually think so too, and I also want to have a good relationship with Director Tanaka."

There was a slight pause in his voice, then he raised his head and spoke in a childish and innocent voice:

"Director Tanaka, can we be friends?"

"Why?"

Tanaka Kenzo, who was worried about gains and losses just now, raised his head in surprise.

But before he could react.

Kitaki Minoru's little body had already been stretched out, and her innocent and cute smile was looking at him.

Well? !

Tanaka Kenzo swallowed as he felt as if he had been healed by the servant.

"Can I call you Uncle Tanaka? Uncle Tanaka can call me Minoru-chan or Minoru."

"Why?"

Unexpectedly, things suddenly developed so smoothly. Tanaka Kenzo was stunned for a moment, and then he responded with a smile and said:

"Of course it's okay. It's better to say that I really want to call Minoru that."

He and Kitumi Minoru talked while eating.

Even Tanaka Kenzo was a little surprised.

How could the relationship between him and Kitumi Minoru become so smooth all of a sudden?

He felt a little unnatural.

But it cannot be denied that it is very comfortable to communicate with Kitami Minoru.

The other party is really like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

We also discussed with him the topic that men in their thirties are more attractive without hair.

Then wait until both of you are happy talking.

The 'little cotton-padded jacket' in front of him spoke with some expectant eyes:

"Uncle Tanaka, I will work hard to practice the script of "Swordsman Den", so I will trouble you to decide on this aspect while the main protagonist!"

"this"

Tanaka Kenzo originally wanted to say that there were also issues that the original author of Mayaki Watanabe considered.

But I felt the 'little cotton-padded jacket' looking at him with a 'shining' expectant look.

It's really shiny.

The idea of rejection is completely unpalatable.

This made him grit his teeth and his heart skipped a beat——

"Don't worry, Minoru-chan. In my heart, you are the best actor who plays Aoki Kenichi. I won't approve of any other son-in-law. Don't worry, I will help you even with Teacher Watanabe." A good word.”

"Really?! Thank you so much Uncle Tanaka!"

"It's just a small thing."

Feeling the 'adoration' look in Minoru Kitazumi's eyes, Tanaka Kenzo smiled happily and thought this was pretty good.

at the same time.

the other side.

"." Qingshui Mountain.

You are not a precocious child.

Qingshuishan, who had been watching Kitazumi's actions, swallowed.

Everything just happened too fast.

Kitazumi's performance was too perfect.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a very good relationship with Kitumi Minoru, he would know each other somewhat.

Maybe he was coaxed in by the other party right now.
