The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

A few minutes later, Baiyunshan opened the door of the SME building and saw a certain cheap senior.

"Are you here? Sit down."

Qiu Yuankang leaned on the chair with empty hands, said hello casually, asked Baiyunshan to sit down opposite, and said politely: "Why are you a few minutes late? Did something happen on the road?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I happened to be resting just now, so I was delayed for a while -"

Baiyunshan didn't want to talk too much about this topic, so he went straight to the point: "Is there something urgent about Qiu Yuansang's sudden visit to me?"

"Nonsense, of course there is something urgent. Otherwise, do you think I am usually very free?"

As everyone in the industry knows that he is a busy man, a certain cheap senior student will naturally not be an idle person. He took out a contract from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him: "This is just

After the initial discussion, whether it is the simplest contract or the more complicated ones in the future, of course there will be professionals to discuss it, so just take a look first."

"Um."

Baiyunshan took over the contract and glanced up, and sure enough, it was the cooperation related to the movie "Rurouni Kenshin" that he and supervisor Keishi Otomo were talking about some time ago.

After the last meeting with Director Keishi Otomo, the two of them each left their contact information, and the subsequent cooperation discussions were always on the phone.

Although it was said to be a negotiation, there was actually not a few words discussed in detail. On the one hand, it was because in Baiyunshan's opinion it was just a simple business cooperation, with his little idol playing a supporting role to increase his presence. On the other hand, it was because

This aspect was informed by Konno-san to his cheap senior at the first opportunity, and the specific matters were handled by others, and it was not his turn.

And this time, it is time for the results to come out.

"To be honest, it's a bit beyond my expectation that you can take the initiative to cooperate with Otomo Keishi."

While he was looking down at the contract, Akimoto Yasushi said slowly: "He is also a candidate with some qualifications in the industry. He has just established his own agency and signed a contract with Warner Bros. He is in urgent need of a good work.

When I want to prove my self-esteem, I will definitely hold back my energy and make a good commercial movie."

"I can't say whether the artistic value is high or not, but there is a high probability that I want to make money. Such a movie may not win any awards, but it will be of great benefit in increasing its popularity. At this time, cooperation can be said to be valuable.

It’s beneficial without any harm.”

"But the only thing I'm curious about is how did you get in touch? How come I've never heard of you knowing each other before? Suddenly you were asked to be the leading actor in his movie."

Akimoto Yasu said curiously.

"Supervisor Otomo and I only met by chance some time ago——"

Baiyunshan explained without raising his head, and then his voice suddenly stopped. He seemed a little stunned and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Wait, the male lead? Qiu Yuan-san, are you mistaken? Why did I play the male lead?

The protagonist’s cooperation requirements?”

"What? You just met each other not long ago?"

Qiu Yuanyasu also had a look of uncontrollable astonishment on his face, and then after hearing the second half of the other party's words, he shook his head and said: "Of course there is no mistake in the conditions. What the other party meant is what I just said...

As for the reason why you asked me, I don’t know. When the other party sent me the cooperation request, they directly stated that they asked you to play the male lead, and they repeated it clearly several times. I thought you guys knew each other before, so

How can there be such cooperation——"

This is indeed the case. When Yasushi Akimoto heard about this for the first time, he couldn't believe it for a while. He thought that the other party had made a mistake. After all, he chose an agent who had never acted before to be the leading actor in the movie, and he was also the most important male lead.

It has to be said that it was an extremely crazy and bold decision. It was not finally confirmed until the other party reiterated his request over and over again on the phone.

Therefore, he thought that the two people had communicated with each other a long time ago, and they must be old acquaintances. Otherwise, how could he be so confident in handing over such an important position to him? Who would have known that it would be like this -

—

Baiyunshan shook his head and said: "Indeed, we met by chance some time ago for some reason. I had never heard of this supervisor Otomo's name before."

"That's really unbelievable... Didn't you guys know each other not long ago? However, even if Keishi Otomo is willing to take the risk and let you be the leading actor, how can Warner agree to it? I wonder?

not understand--"

Akimoto Yasu clicked his tongue in surprise.

...

...

Time goes back to some time ago.

In the apartment of Otomo Keishi's family in Tokyo, the two of them sat opposite each other on the sofa.

"Otomo-san, are you really sure? It is not a trivial matter to change the scheduled main role at this time, and it is also the most important male protagonist -"

Producer Osamu Kubota looked at Keishi Otomo in front of him in disbelief, and said in a solemn tone: "And he is still such a fledgling boy. I have seen his resume. His musical talent is indeed good, but so far it has only been Sony.

He's just the manager of one of his idol groups, right? Do you really think it's feasible to let such a person who has never had acting experience make a movie, and then shoot such a highly demanding comic-book action movie?"

"Or have you simply given up on yourself? Don't forget, this is a commercial movie! What does a commercial movie need most? It's the box office! What kind of box office appeal can a fledgling newcomer have? You should know that,

Even if he looks exactly like Himura Kenshin in the manga, there won’t be a more famous actor with a high box office appeal!”

After finishing his words, Osamu Kubota couldn't help but breathe a little quickly. It took him a while to calm down, and he realized that his words were a little harsh. He softened his tone and said, "I'm sorry, Otomo-san, I sounded harsh just now."

A little bit, sorry."

"No, no -"

Otomo Keishi was silent for a long time. After hearing this, he shook his head and said slowly, with a hoarse voice: "However, even if you say this, Kubo-san, I still will not change my opinion."

"you--"

Osamu Kubota suddenly became anxious and glared: "Why are you so stubborn here! You are making a commercial film, not an art film, so why do you need to do such a risky business? And even if you don't consider other people, you still have to think about it.

Are you Otomo-san? This is your first movie after signing with Warner Bros., which is of vital significance!"

"Once the box office performance of this movie is not satisfactory, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"That's right. Once the movie data is really unsatisfactory, not only me, but even the firm I just established will definitely be affected accordingly——"

Otomo Keishi said thoughtfully, and then said firmly: "But I believe that such a situation will never happen!"

"you......"

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so firm, Osamu Kubota couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He softened his tone and said, "You have to give me a reason. Why are you so confident?"

"Because I've seen it with my own eyes!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Otomo Keishi's eyes burst out with indescribable brilliance, and he said: "That kind of swordsmanship and that kind of momentum are simply incomparable to ordinary action movie actors and computer CG technology! As long as he goes there

Once he's in the camera, I'm confident that I can integrate him perfectly into the plot and make a movie that will shock the industry!"

"It's a bit too exaggerated—"

Osamu Kubota was speechless.

“No exaggeration at all!”

Otomo Keishi was full of confidence. His expression was completely different from before. He looked at Osamu Kubota across from the sofa confidently. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Kubota-san, let me ask you a question. Please tell me who is the most famous person in the world in the twentieth century.

Who is the actor in the action movie?”

Shu Kubota was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied: "Uh...Jackie Chan? Bruce Lee?"

"good!"

Otomo Keishi patted his shoulder with a smile and said solemnly: "I can assure you that as long as this movie can be successfully filmed according to my ideas, this young man named Baiyunshan will have the opportunity to become

Twenty-first century—”

"Bruce Lee!"
