Tokyo Literary Godfather

As expected, Nagasawa Ken received an invitation from another drama, not "The White Tower".

In fact, Ken Nagasawa couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although he came from an idol school, any wild idol school wanted to transform into a powerful school. After all, as you grow older, the charm of idol artists will be greatly reduced. After all, for idols, youth is the first competitiveness.

As he grows older, Nagasawa Ken's face is definitely not as fresh as before. With the endless rise of young idols, he also has some sense of crisis.

And the most enviable talented actor in the circle is undoubtedly Miyata Takayoshi. Although he is a talented actor, he is very popular and has many fans. He can even beat other idols in terms of popularity. It can be regarded as the perfect combination of the powerful group and the idol group, and it is also the actor form that Nagasawa Ken is very envious of.

Because actors like Takayoshi Miyata will have a very stable career and will not lose their jobs due to the loss of fans. Moreover, the fan base is relatively loyal and does not pay special attention to faces.

This is why he was very active in auditioning for the leading role in The White Tower.

However, when he saw Miyata Takara's performance at the audition meeting, he felt a little disappointed. Sure enough, the acting skills honed from acting in thousands of dramas are extraordinary, so he didn't have any hope of competing for this role. , but unexpectedly was called a smuggling talk by the main creator of the crew.

He was extremely happy at first, but when he knew that the other party wanted him to act in a trend drama, he was still a little disappointed.

I originally wanted to get rid of the big quagmire of trend dramas and get rid of my status as an idol actor. Do I want to jump into it again?

However, although he is a little bit reluctant to appear in trend dramas again, this is Kei Fujiwara's work after all, so he still hesitates.

Okada Juri saw Nagasawa Ken's hesitation, and asked directly: "Nagasawa-kun, do you have any concerns? You can say it directly."

"It's not a concern, it's just..." Ken Nagasawa scratched his head, and frankly told Okada Juri his inner thoughts: "I hope to play a role with deeper layers and stronger contradictions. Growth, I no longer want to be constrained by the shackles of idol dramas.”

Okada Juri looked a little surprised: "Nagazawa-kun is not yet thirty, but he already has such a strong sense of danger?"

Nagasawa Ken looked a little embarrassed, but he still said seriously: "That's true. You can't be an idol for the rest of your life."

"Nagazawa-kun's worries are actually reasonable, but "Blue Life and Death" is not an ordinary trend drama. The character relationships in the drama are very complex and malleable. It is different from the trend dramas you have filmed before, Nagasawa-kun. Nagasawa-kun, you might be interested."

In fact, there is no particularly big difference. It's just that Juri Okada saw that Ken Nagasawa's attitude was actually uncertain, and he didn't make it clear that he didn't want to star. So I'm going to try to persuade you.

In fact, they also looked at many actors during the period of "Blue Life and Death", and finally focused on a few people, one of whom was Ken Nagasawa. Juri Okada showed the video of Ken Nagasawa's previous performance to Kei Fujiwara. Kei Fujiwara held his chin and watched for a while, feeling that this person was really similar to Song Seung-heon, and even more charming. Moreover, the age of twenty-eighty-nine-year-olds, because of proper maintenance, is no different from those in their early twenties, but it is a bit more mature than those in their early twenties.

Kei Fujiwara took advantage of this time to write a few more scripts for "Blue Life and Death" and showed them to Juri Okada. Juri Okada read the script over and over again, almost to the point of memorizing it backwards.

Read the book a hundred times, its meaning will be self-evident. I have to say that from the perspective of a female audience, this story is really interesting. The more I watched it, the characters in the script gradually began to have faces in Okada Juri's mind, and Nagasawa Ken's face fit very well with the protagonist Toshihiro Ito's image.

So Juri Okada was determined to get this person to star in this drama.

In fact, Kenya Nagasawa didn't want to refuse such a Fujiwara drama, but he still had a secret thought in his heart that he couldn't say out loud, that is, he would rather star in "The White Tower". In front of "The White Tower", this trending drama is only the second best. choose.

It's just that it's not easy to say this in front of Okada Juri. Although "The White Tower" and "Blue Life and Death" are produced by the same company, they are produced by different producers after all. If they are too straightforward, they may offend Okada. Miss Tian.

After all, Okada Juri is also an experienced producer. He knew Nagasawa Ken's thoughts at a glance and knew that he was eager to transform now, so he came here today for "The White Tower", but he was not angry and continued to have fun. We chatted casually, and then we talked about the show "The White Tower".

"As far as I know, this drama seems to have two male protagonists, but Mr. Fujiwara seems to be more optimistic about Miyata-kun. If nothing else happens, he will probably give this role to him..."

Nagasawa Ken's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, Okada Juri thought about it again, took out a written document, handed it to Nagasawa Ken, and said: "Nagazawa-kun, you can read the script of "Blue Life and Death Love", you may like it. "

Nagasawa Ken was a little surprised: "Is this really okay?"

As far as he knows, the two dramas being prepared by Shuibo Production are very confidential. Most people only know the names and types of these two dramas, and don’t even know what kind of stories they tell. Now some actors playing supporting roles Even though the contract has been signed, I can't even see the script for fear of leaking it.

However, Okada Juri directly handed over the script. This seemed to be a very friendly move to express trust. Nagasawa hesitated for a moment, then took the script and started reading it.

Got hooked... Juri Okada smiled and thought to himself, this is just like many food stores that hold tasting events, unless you have a particularly strong psychological quality and can taste everything before turning around and leaving. After many people taste it, no matter what the taste is, their willingness to buy will be enhanced to a certain extent.

Nagasawa Ken only watched the first episode. He read a literary script with a text format close to that of a novel, in order to allow the actors to better understand the story. I have to say that the story at the beginning is indeed very attractive, because of the misunderstanding caused by accidentally holding the wrong child, which triggered a series of stories... and the relationship between brothers and sisters who are not related by blood?

He had a strong feeling that this show would be a hit. I don’t know whether this premonition came after seeing the content of the script, or whether I had it after knowing that this drama was the work of Kei Fujiwara, but this premonition is very strong. So much so that Ken Nagasawa no longer wanted to star in idol dramas or trend dramas, and his determination to transform was severely shaken.

Or, another trend drama? Let's talk about the transformation next year?

Nagasawa Ken subconsciously glanced at the agent next to him, who was also reading the script seriously with his head stretched out. After feeling Nagasawa Ken's gaze, he didn't say anything at the time, but scratched his head with his fingers - this It's their code, which means go back and discuss it.

Before Nagasawa Ken could say anything, Okada Juri smiled and said: "Please Nagasawa-kun keep the matter of reading the script a secret. In fact, Mr. Fujiwara has set strict disciplinary requirements for the crew, and it must not be shown in front of unsigned actors." The script and the contents of the script will be revealed, otherwise the person will be given a warning at the least and may be fired at the worst..."

Nagasawa Ken was startled, and a grimace subconsciously appeared on his face. Why are you showing me this? For a moment, I wanted to get the script I just read out of my mind.

Okada Juri continued to use her powerful ability of moral kidnapping: "I just felt that Nagasawa-kun, you are really suitable for this role, so I couldn't help it because I felt that Nagasawa-kun would also be attracted by the script... If I mistakenly It’s decided, Nagasawa-kun doesn’t need to feel pressure, it doesn’t matter…”

After that, he let out a long sigh.
