Chapter 1180 Chapter 1189, You may be successful in love, but don’t expect it to be the same in the workplace!!
During the lunch break, Naoki Nagayama called Tomokazu Miura in the office.
"Youhe-san, I have a role here and I think your image might be suitable for it."
"Really?" Miura Tomokazu was a little excited in the microphone, "Is it the role in the "Departures" that Naoki-san is preparing?"
Tomokazu Miura thought he was playing a supporting role. You know, although it has been 7 years, the side effects of marrying Yamaguchi Momoe have not yet dissipated. He has more work now, but most of them are third or fourth leading roles, and there are not many who are even second leading roles.
So even though they knew that Naoki Nagayama and Tomokazu Miura were connected, his agency didn't think of him being the protagonist this time. They just wanted to see if he could get a supporting role later.
This is the consequence of an ordinary person marrying a national idol!
"Yes." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "We are currently casting today. Do you have time to come over to the Shuyou Building?!"
"Of course!" Miura Tomokazu was very excited on the microphone, "I will definitely come over this afternoon!"
After hanging up the phone, Yitang Xiuyi next to him said:
"If Miura Tomokazu is the male lead, it would be great if Yamaguchi Momoe is the female lead! It will definitely cause a sensation!"
"Don't even think about it, Baihui-san! She really doesn't want to step into the entertainment industry again~"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head directly. He was quite familiar with Yamaguchi Momoe and knew that she was a gentle woman with a strong heart who had firm plans for her life.
You know, only wise and decisive people can quit at the peak of their career, and Yamaguchi Momoe actually persisted in doing so for her entire life.
"Well, I'm just thinking about it."
Idou Shuichi clicked his tongue and stood up and walked towards his office.
"Eat your meal and take a rest first, we still have to continue the audition in the afternoon!"
"."
Generally speaking, Japanese people don’t have the habit of taking a lunch break. I don’t know who started it, but some of my friends have developed the habit of taking a lunch break.
Naoki Nagayama shook his head, leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes, and thought about the candidates he had seen in the morning.
By the afternoon, the reception room that had been empty was packed with people again.
"I don't know if it has been decided this morning."
“This kind of movie role should be carefully considered.”
Then, after Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido and Kyon Kidō all arrived at the audition room, Yukina Suzuki continued to call people in according to the same pace as in the morning.
"Harada-san, please start!"
Naoki Nagayama said this to Yoshio Harada, another talented actor from the 80s.
"Hi"
Yoshio Harada took the cello handed to him by Kyon Kimura, got ready, and actually played Bach's "Suite for Cello".
His expression was sincere and the melody was moving, making people immersed in it. When the song was over, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido couldn't help but applaud.
“I didn’t expect Harada-san to play the cello so well!”
"No, no. I just practiced this piece of music alone." Yoshio Harada said modestly.
“That’s pretty impressive too~”
Amid such praise, Yoshio Harada felt that he had already won, but Naoki Nagayama did not give him immediate affirmation on the spot.
"Harada-san, please go back and wait for the news. If a role is selected later, we will notify you!"
Overly official words, like every HR's polite words, are chilling.
".Hi!"
After all, Yoshio Harada was a veteran actor, so after respectfully taking his leave, he decided to let his agent take charge of the matter.
"Next person."
"."
Suzuki Yukika is working as a guide, so Xing Jiahua is the only one on duty at the front desk.
In the late afternoon, a car stopped in front of the Shuyou Building, and then a handsome man in formal attire walked out from the back seat. He was recognized immediately.
"Miura Tomokazu-san?"
Xing Jiahua subconsciously looked at the audition list. Miura Tomokazu's name should not be on it?
"Hi Miss Xingjia" Miura Tomokazu had been to the Shuyou Building before and was familiar with the front desk, "Naoki-san called me to try out for the role of "Departures"
"Ah hi!"
Xing Jiahua naturally wouldn't be bored and asked to confirm such a small matter. She nodded and immediately took Miura Tomokazu to the reception room.
"Miura-san, there are currently seven or eight candidates ahead of you who may need to wait a while."
"Haha, stupid tape!"
Tomokazu Miura nodded calmly. It was Naoki-san who called to invite him, so his chances were greater than theirs. There was nothing wrong with waiting a little.
Xing Jiahua led the people to the reception room, explained something to Suzuki Yukika, and then returned to the front desk.
After entering the reception room, Miura Tomokazu recognized many familiar faces at a glance, and they also recognized Miura Tomokazu. But after all, they were competitors, so everyone just nodded slightly to each other.
"Why is Miura Tomokazu here?"
"He actually wants to compete for the leading actor in the movie?"
"Normally not. Hasn't he always been a supporting role before?"
"He's successful in love, so he shouldn't expect more in the workplace."
People who have experienced the period of "The Dancing Girl of Izu", "Blood Coagulation" and "Haruki-sho" know how popular the national idols were at that time, and how they overwhelmed other male actors.
Fortunately, this guy could not escape the beauty trap. He married the national goddess and became a public enemy. He also disappeared from the entertainment industry.
He seems to have gained some popularity in recent years, but he has only played supporting roles. Why is he competing for the leading actor this time? !
Or the leading actor in Naoki Nagayama's movie? !
Isn't this wishful thinking?!
The reception room slowly quieted down in a strange atmosphere. Apart from the voice of Suzuki Yukika calling people every time, only the occasional sound of the cello could be heard.
As the candidates finished their auditions one by one, and finally as the sun began to set, it was Tomokazu Miura's turn!
"Mr. Miura Tomokazu, you can go for the audition now!"
"Hi!"
Tomokazu Miura straightened his clothes a little, then slowly walked into the audition room, only to see Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido and Kyon Kido sitting in the front.
"Tomokazu-san, I've finally been waiting for you!" Nagayama Naoki greeted with a smile.
"Hi, I came here in a hurry"
Miura Tomokazu spoke briefly, then nodded to Idou Shuichi and the others.
"Directors, please give us your guidance!"
"Haha, if you came here in a hurry, you haven't read the script yet!" Nagayama Naoki gestured to Kyon Kimura to hand him the script, "The scene you are going to audition for this time is about a cellist who has just joined the mortician industry. It's his first time to touch a corpse and he seems very uncomfortable."
Even though he was not prepared, Tomokazu Miura is a veteran actor after all. After reading the script, he made some slight adjustments and then began to perform without props.
He messed up his hair a little, looked flustered, and walked to the mirror. When he saw the face in the mirror, he seemed a little bit unconvinced that it was himself.
I wanted to touch his face, but suddenly I remembered that my hands had touched a corpse.
With a look of horror and disgust on his face, he picked up the soap next to him and started washing his hands. After washing his hands, he observed them once and washed them again.
Then I looked at myself in the mirror, but it still wasn't enough. I felt like I was stained with bad luck. Finally, I seemed to be about to cry, and started to take off my clothes to take a shower.
"Cut!"
Kyon Kijima shouted in time.
If Tomokazu Miura walked out of the audition room in a disheveled state, the three men in the room would face social death!
"As expected of Tomokazu-san!" Idou Shuichi exclaimed, "The progression of emotions is very reasonable!"
"Yes. It shows the psychological changes of the characters."
“The emotional outburst at the end was very infectious!”
Naoki Nagayama naturally expressed his approval of Miura Tomokazu's acting skills. After talking to Idou Shuichi for a few words, he looked at Miura Tomokazu:
"Youhe-san, can you play the cello?"
"I don't know how to play private Marseille," Miura Tomokazu said apologetically, "but I learn musical instruments very quickly."
"Yeah, that's fine!"
Naoki Nagayama didn't ask for too much. He was actually very satisfied with Miura Tomokazu. After talking about the role and the movie for a while, Naoki Nagayama still said to Miura Tomokazu according to the official routine:
"Youhe-san, today's audition is fine. We'll let you know if we have any news later!"
"Hi, thanks Naoki-san!"
Tomokazu Miura nodded and prepared to leave.
However, Naoki Nagayama looked at Miura Tomokazu's plump face.
It seems that she gained weight after getting married! Even though her career is not going well, Yamaguchi Baihui still takes good care of people in her life!
"Youhe-san, our character is in a period of sadness, so we need to appear more haggard."
Miura Tomokazu has been in the entertainment industry for so long that he naturally understands the hidden meaning:
".I see, I understand~Arigato~"
"Well then Youhe-san should go back and wait for news!"
"Hi!"
When Tomokazu Miura walked out of the audition room, he could no longer suppress his excitement and even wanted to yell. But he finally held back.
After returning to the car, I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that my face was indeed plump and I looked very happy.
"From today on, I won't eat anymore!"
After returning to Yamazakurain in the evening, Naoki Nagayama and Akina talked about casting.
"It's Youhe-san."
Akina and Yamaguchi Momoe are good friends with mothers and often exchange parenting experiences. They were very happy to hear that Miura Tomokazu got the role.
"Now Baihui-san can rest assured!"
"how?"
"Before, Baihui-san's in-laws were somewhat dissatisfied with her, saying that marrying her had offended many fans and delayed Youhe-san's career."
Akina said some words that women would use when communicating.
“Now we are finally back on track!”
".Haha, I can't help marrying a top idol~" Naoki Nagayama said while looking at Akina and laughing, "Akina has a lot of fans who hate me too. They said they would send me razor blades!"
"No, those aren't real fans! I asked the fan club administrators to stop them!"
Although Akina cherishes her fans very much, if we compare her with Naoki Nagayama, her husband is naturally the most precious! Only those who love the house and the dog in it are true fans!
"Those who caused the most trouble have already been fired!"
"Okay, okay~"
Naoki Nagayama held little Xiahua close to Akina and gave her a kiss. Then Xiahua also wanted a kiss excitedly.
After coaxing her daughter, Akina said:
"By the way, Naoki-san, I'm going to teach you how to tango today!"
"today?"
"Yeah, it's easy to learn! You'll be able to do it in no time!"
Akina took the baby and took Naoki Nagayama to the function area east of Yamazakurain. After returning in the afternoon, Akina prepared the music player in the practice room at home.
The wooden floor of the home dance studio was clean, and there were a few yoga mats in the corner. Mingcai put Xiao Xiahua on it and let her crawl around.
She herself pulled Naoki Nagayama to the middle of the dance studio:
"Naoki-san, get ready!"
"Ok?"
"Take my hand and lift it to shoulder height"
Akina lifted Naoki's hand with one hand, and with the other hand she pressed Naoki's hand on her waist.
"The other hand is on my waist."
Then explained:
"There are four beats in one measure of tango, two beats for slow movements and one beat for fast movements. Follow my lead.
Listen to my command 1234 da da da"
Naoki Nagayama had some knowledge of dancing, so even though he was not very familiar with tango, it was not difficult for him to dance along.
However, as the practice progressed, he couldn't help but hear the following lines:
"Tango is just lying down and walking. Three steps, one inch, two steps, two turns."
"Bend left, wave right"
Then the teacher in the red sweater began to teach people how to dance the classic tango. When recalling this scene, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help laughing.
"puff"
"???"
Akina looked up at her husband with some confusion.
"Naoki-san, what are you laughing at?"
".Hmm. I remembered something funny."
A bit confused, Akina continued to teach Nagayama Naoki the dance steps, and soon the two of them were dancing like a pro. Akina nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good, Naoki-san's limbs are still very flexible and he didn't step on my feet!"
"Ha, I still have a little talent in me!"
"Well, let's try dancing to some music next time."
Akina walked to the side of the player and pressed the play button, and then a violin melody began to sound. The distinctive beginning immediately evoked Naoki Nagayama's memories.
“Is this Por Una Cabeza (One Step Away)?”
"Does Naoki-san know about tango?" Akina said with a smile, "He is indeed a talented musician."
"Such a famous one, of course I've heard of it~"
The tango dance music "One Step Away" is very famous. It is a representative work of the heyday of tango music and is popular in high-class dances in Europe and the United States.
But what impressed Naoki Nagayama even more was that this dance music appeared in many movies, such as the famous "Scent of a Woman".
The classic restaurant dancing scene is unforgettable.
As the melody sounded, Naoki Nagayama and Akina also started dancing in the dance practice room, just like they were on the dance floor~
As the dance steps progressed and the melody quickened, many memories came flooding into his mind. Naoki Nagayama felt as if he had entered a movie, dancing a delightful tango with a beautiful lady in front of everyone.
"A woman's scent is like a mysterious book, you have to read it carefully"
Then it became the voice of an invisible man speaking righteously at the hearing.
"I have come to a crossroads in my life, and I always know which is the right way, no doubt about it, I just know it!
But I never choose this path, why?
Because this road is too damn difficult!"
