Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

In Japan.

Healing movies of literary and artistic type such as "Natsuko Abducted".

Compared with horror movies such as "The Grudge", they are more suitable for the public's aesthetic taste.

Similarly, such movies are more likely to receive high evaluations and awards from some film awards.

As a veteran of literary and artistic pure love movies.

Honma Fuhiko is also familiar with the following process.

"If it is released, it should be scheduled for the autumn period around mid-October. I want to edit it well in the later stage."

"The autumn period around mid-October?"

Listening to Honma Fuhiko's words, Kita Sumi calculated the time and glanced at him curiously: "Uncle Honma, do you have any ideas about the Film Academy Award?"

"Puff——"

Honma Fuhiko was drinking water, but he sprayed it out after hearing what Kita Sumi said.

The Film Academy Award, the full name of which is the Japan Film Academy Award.

This name may sound nothing special, plain and ordinary, and it looks like an award established by some inferior film universities in Japan.

But it also has another name, a name that you can tell is very important as long as you hear it - the Japanese Oscar.

Looking at Kita Sumire, Honma Heihiko was really speechless.

He, a director who was called a "literary film actor pervert" by some unscrupulous media, had no confidence in thinking about the Academy Awards.

But Kita Sumire, an actor who had no works, dared to think about it.

And he even set his sights on the "Japanese Oscar".

Although people should have dreams.

But isn't your dream a little too far?

Do you want to fly directly?

". Precocious, are you too confident in your acting skills?"

He couldn't help but speak.

Confidence is a good thing for an actor, but overconfidence becomes arrogance.

But isn't Kita Sumire a little too confident?

He deliberately frowned, trying to knock Precocious.

Then -

"Yes. Is there anything wrong with my acting?"

Kita Sumire's big eyes blinked.

Facing his poker face, not only was she not afraid, but she asked back with confidence.

"I"

After being choked, Honma Feiyan opened his mouth and wanted to refute Kita Sumire.

But——

The other party's acting skills are really good.

Kita Sumire's acting skills are really excellent. Not only can he play his role perfectly in front of the camera, but he can also help coordinate other actors outside the camera-especially Shimada Makoto.

During the days when Kita Sumire was not there, even he had to hold an oxygen tank to spend the day, and was almost pissed off to death by Shimada Makoto.

In terms of acting, he really can't point fingers at Kita Sumire.

Tsk!

Since there is no way to point fingers, then don't point fingers!

"I'm too lazy to reason with you. You are still young and don't understand at all."

Honma Feiyan simply acted like a rogue.

There is no need to reason when you can't beat a child!

This is the privilege that belongs to rogue adults like him!

He is unreasonable.

Kita Sumire on the other side doesn't care either.

He just brought a small stool and kept asking, "Does Uncle Honma have any ideas?"

It's not difficult for literary films to win awards.

If they can really get an award or something.

His original lack of fame can also make up for it.

This is closer to the dream of earning hundreds of millions a year.

Of course he had to ask.

"If you say I have ideas, then I definitely have ideas."

Putting down the water bottle, Honma Feiyan glanced at Kita Sumire and stated his ambition very straightforwardly.

Generally speaking, the selection of the Film Academy Awards is in February and March of the following year.

"The Kidnapped Natsuko" in mid-October does have a chance.

The Film Academy Award is a big honor, so he naturally wants to win it.

But——

"The current "The Kidnapped Natsuko" is not qualified, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to be nominated. To put it bluntly, a movie cannot be judged by only one actor's performance, but also by the injection of funds, the script, and the crew members."

Honma Feiyan simply expressed his thoughts.

Admittedly, Kita Sumire's acting skills are not a problem, and it is really touching.

But it is too difficult for a movie to rely on the acting of only one actor.

And compared to Kita Sumimi, the acting of the other protagonist, Shimada Makoto, is much worse than him.

In some places, there is even a sense of separation like a gap in acting, that is, the feeling that Shimada Makoto sometimes can't connect with the play.

In addition, the script of "The Kidnapped Natsuko" written by screenwriter Yotsuya Masayoshi can only be said to be excellent.

It is not particularly outstanding in the Japanese film industry this year.

There is already a gap between the actors and the script.

It must be difficult to be nominated for the Academy Awards.

But -

"There will be a selection for the Outstanding New Actor Award in the second half of this year. The nominations will start in November every year. I think you can pay a little attention to it after the release of "The Kidnapped Natsuko."

Honma Fuhiko said.

There are always two or three selections for the Outstanding New Actor Award in Japan every year.

It is mainly to discover new actors worth looking forward to.

Although it is not as good as the "Japanese Oscars", it can also be regarded as a relatively famous award.

This is an award that almost everyone who follows the industry will pay attention to.

It can be considered a rare investment in new actors by this stingy industry.

"New Actor Award"

Kitaki Minoru muttered something and became interested in this word.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You, Beicheng boy, are here just now. Let me talk to you about the remuneration."

"Oh?" Kitaki Minoru became more energetic.

"You stinky brat. Did you learn from that guy Qingshui? You get excited when money is mentioned?"

Honma Feiyan was a little speechless.

Logically speaking, eight-year-old Ziyi doesn't care much about money at all.

However, Bei Chengshi did the opposite. He looked less like an eight-year-old Ziyi and more like a poor young man in his twenties.

He shook his head.

never mind.

I am too lazy to argue with my precocious child.

The amount of capital invested in "Kidnapped Natsuko" is not bad, and it is much more generous than "Grudge", with a full 150 million yen - most of which was financed by Shimada Makoto's father.

Don't think it's little.

In fact, in the genre of literary films, 150 million yen is considered a pretty good sum.

Therefore, the treatment given by Honma Feiyan to Kitaki Minoru is also quite generous.

The AR Ziyue Training Center offered a price of 1.02 million yen.

To be honest, the asking price is actually on the high side.

Because the only work that Kitumi Minoru can produce is "The Resentment", she is not the main protagonist, and she is not famous at all.

In addition, he acted in "The Kidnapped Natsuko" for more than two months.

There are still primary school homework to be completed.

After class at three or four o'clock, work must be finished at eight or nine o'clock in the evening (the slaves can work until nine o'clock in the evening at most), which is only four or five hours in total.

Even if working hours on Saturdays and Sundays are included, this price is actually on the high side compared to Kitami Minoru's reputation.

But Honma Feiyan just won the contract without even frowning.

And judging by Beicheng's excellent performance on the part of the film crew - without him the film crew might have dispersed.

So Honma Feiyan added another 150,000 yen to Kitazumi's original 1.02 million yen as hard work allowance.

The total remuneration was 1.17 million yen.

This amount may seem like a lot.

But in fact, the AR Ziyue Training Center will take 40% of the money as the operating and training expenses for the boys.

In addition, the Japanese National Tax Agency imposes taxes.

Roughly calculated, it would only cost more than 600,000 yen if it were actually in Kitazumi's hands.

Well, although the goal of annual income of over 100 million is still far away.

"But it would be nice to have more than 600,000 yen."

Kitaki Minoru touched his chin.

The more than 600,000 yen was added to the 'tuition fee' received from Makoto Shimada earlier.

He has enough funds to prepare for skipping high school, and there may even be a surplus.

He is thinking this way.

On the other side, Feiyan Honma looked at him thinking and couldn't help but shake his head.

I don’t know how the precocious child lives at home.

The tens of thousands of yen that the other servants didn't even care about, the other party was obsessed with calculating.

His acting skills are superb, and his way of dealing with people makes people feel comfortable. He has some small flaws, but they don't make people feel disgusted. Instead, they find him to be frank and cute.

Get along with each other.

Honma Feiyan, a grown man in his twenties and about to turn thirty, actually didn't feel any awkwardness or disobedience.

The key work is also serious.

There was not a single cry at the scene - this is extremely rare for an eight-year-old Ziyi.

After thinking about this, Honma Feiyan raised his head and looked at Kitazumi as if he had thought of something.

"By the way, Beicheng boy, do you have any plans recently?"

"Huh? We don't have any plans for the time being. Why do you ask this suddenly? Uncle Honma?"

Suddenly being asked this question, Kitumi raised her black eyes.

He has already won the role of Kenichi Aoki.

But "Swordsman Den" was filmed in October.

Therefore, he will be unemployed until October.

This was even though he was already somewhat famous.

It can be imagined that for those boys who are completely unknown, they can only get a handful of jobs a year.

"I have been entrusted by someone. I have something to ask you. I remember that you participated in a variety reality show called "The Great Observation of the World" before, right?"

Honma Feiyan asked a question.

"Yes."

Beicheng Minoru nodded.

"Human Observation" is the first reality show he has participated in, so he is naturally impressed by it.

Although it's not as profitable as making a movie - I only got it for 120,000 yen.

But after appearing on that show, Beicheng's reputation really increased a lot.

After filming "The Resentful Son", his personal page only received a total of more than 1,000 followers.

After the broadcast of "Human Observation", it quickly gained more than 8,000 followers.

Although it is not as good as the two Frieza-level combat capabilities of Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

But he can almost be regarded as a strong man with Bald Klin's combat power exceeding 10,000.

And his network performance in that period was indeed very good.

Judging from the data sheet, it directly increased some of the ratings of "Human Observation".

As a result, Kobayashi Meicong has been contacting him recently.

I'm thinking about whether there can be another "Zi Yong Resurrection" special.

"I have a friend here, his name is Akasaka Kazuya, who also runs a variety reality show, but it's not on Sakura Channel, but on Fuji Channel."

Honma Feiyan said while thinking about it: "It seems that you performed quite well in "The Great Observation of the World"."

"So he asked someone to call me and ask if you are interested in taking another job there."

"I see."

Kitasumi suddenly realized.

In other words, a second reality show similar to "Human Observation"?

He became interested.

Although Kitasumi doesn't like watching variety reality shows, he doesn't dislike them.

After all, the salary is paid daily, and the filming is very fast, which can also increase popularity, so why not do it?

"If you have any ideas, I can help you contact them, but don't have too high expectations for the remuneration."

In order to prevent Kitasumi from regretting it later, Honma Feiyan gave him a shot of vaccination first.

Because the filming process of a variety show is very short, just a few hours.

So the remuneration for the actors in this type of program is mostly in the range of 100,000 yen to 150,000 yen.

Unless the actors are particularly famous in the industry, it is possible to increase to about 200,000 yen.

"I know, thank you uncle Honma, thank you for your trouble."

Kitasumi thanked Honma Feiyan.

Although Honma Feiyan said that he had nothing to do with this job, it was all because Kita Sumire's excellent performance was discovered by the other party.

But Kita Sumire didn't believe that the other party didn't say good things for him on the phone.

There are some favors.

The other party didn't say it.

But Kita Sumire couldn't pretend to be stupid and forget it.

To put it bluntly.

The industry is small.

It's so small that Honma Feiyan can connect directors and producers of other TV stations with one or two calls.

But the industry is also very big.

It's so big that actors without favors can't even get decent jobs.

As expected.

Seeing Kita Sumire thanking respectfully.

"Okay, okay, don't try to be so mean to me. I didn't help you at all. Your efforts are visible to others."

Honma Feiyan on the other side looked a little impatient and patted Kita Sumire's head.

But when he spoke, his expression and voice were much softer.

Alas, this person is just like Shimizusan.

He's so arrogant.

No wonder they can play together.

Kita Sumire shrugged, and asked curiously:

"By the way, what's the name of that program? "The Famous Actors Are Coming"?"

"You've got a nice idea."

Honma Feiyan pinched Kita Sumire's cheek.

This kid, he just said a few nice words to him, and he was so proud.

"The Famous Actors Are Coming!" is a radio program dedicated to promoting actors.

It's mainly a program for actors to read some fan submissions and do some small activities.

Don't underestimate it because it's just a radio program, and the program flow is very simple.

But those who can appear on the radio program "The Famous Actors Are Coming!" are all top actors in the industry with a lot of fans.

How can Kita Sumire's popularity just break 10,000 followers?

Is he thinking of trying to get on the show?

Honma Feiyan released his fingers pinching Kita Sumire's cheek, and then said:

"It's a program called "Now! Let's Start the Test!"."

His voice paused.

"It's different from the pre-recorded reality shows like Human Investigation."

Honma Feiyan pointed his finger and reminded him a little.

"Now! Let's start the test! is a live-streamed reality show, so Beicheng boy, you'd better prepare before going on stage."

Yesterday's was a big hit. Today's daily update of 8,000 words is completed. Tomorrow I will also work hard to write 8,000 words - focusing on stability!
