Chapter 1181 Chapter 1190, In the entertainment industry, only those who are willing to take risks can stand out! !
In the top floor office of the Shuyou Building.
Kyon Kimura curled himself up tightly on the sofa and covered his gold watch with his sleeve, trying to make his presence less noticeable.
Because he found Naoki Nagayama very scary today!
Today is still an audition day, but it is an audition for the female lead. Early in the morning, Kyon Kijima came to Naoki Naoki's office with the file, wanting Naoki Naoki to be ready.
But after entering the room and placing the file on the desk, he found that Naoki Nagayama looked a little crazy today.
"Kijima-kun, just put your things wherever you want and wait for me for a moment."
Naoki Nagayama adjusted his tone and said righteously to the window:
"I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, l knew!"
"But I never took it! You know why?"
Naoki Nagayama took a deep breath, as if he was trying to suck all the air into his chest, and then shouted in a tone that was almost like shouting:
“It was too damn hard!!!”
"Cough cough cough~"
After saying this line, Naoki Nagayama cleared his throat and felt refreshed.
"It's really so enjoyable to say classic lines!"
"."
Kimura remained silent and his body shrank even smaller.
No, no, Naoki-san is going crazy!
At this moment, the office door was knocked open, and a confused Idou Shuichi also walked in:
"Naoki-san, what happened? Why do I feel like I heard wailing?"
Kimura Kyon quickly looked over to him for help. It was a wail, a wail from the depths of my, Kimura Kyon's heart!
"Ah, I'm practicing my lines!"
Naoki Nagayama explained briefly that there were only three executives on the top floor anyway, and no one would care if he wanted to sing karaoke in such a big office!
When I was dancing with Akina last night, I recalled the movie "Scent of a Woman". However, since I had a beautiful woman by my side in real life, I naturally did not go to the study to work overtime on the script. So when I dreamed at night, I was either dancing with a beautiful woman or making a big speech at a hearing.
To this day, I still want to immerse myself in the plot from time to time~
"I thought of some classic lines last night and they sounded great, so I wanted to practice them."
"."
Ito Xiuyi cast a strange look at him, but still chose to believe him.
"What kind of classic lines?"
"Na~"
Naoki Nagayama handed the script to Shuichi Idou and asked,
"Shuichi-san, have you ever seen a movie where a character's monologue lasts more than 7 minutes?"
"A character's monologue? More than 7 minutes? Pure narration doesn't count."
Yi Tangxiu looked at it and responded in surprise.
"That's too difficult. It requires a lot of skills in both the actors' dialogue and the arc of the character. I've never seen that before."
“Well, it’s really difficult!”
In a 90-minute movie, the audience spends nearly one-tenth of the time watching a person making noises on the big screen.
It is a big test for the script, the actors, the director and even the audience themselves.
Recalling the scenes of "Scent of a Woman", Naoki Nagayama was also impressed by the profound acting skills of Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino. He really deserves the reputation!
Shuichi Idou also finished reading the script:
"Naoki-san, why do I feel like these lines are very much like a play?"
"Hahaha, yes, a little bit. The lines from the play are really exciting to say!"
"Do you have a script?" Idou Shuichi asked with a smile. He thought Naoyama Naoki had created another script and wanted to grab it directly. "This time, you must let me appreciate it first."
And Kimura, who had been silent, suddenly became alert:
"If possible, I would like to enjoy it together."
"?"
Yitang Xiu raised his eyes and pressured Kimura Kyon with his gaze, "How dare you compete with the big guy?"
"!"
But at this time, Kimura must not give up. He looked at Nagayama Naoki, who had the final say, with a sincere look, and tried to retreat in order to advance.
"Naoki-san, is this okay?"
"." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I haven't written it yet. I just got some inspiration!"
".Oh." X2
"Then you must show it to me first when you finish writing it~"
"."
After finally getting the two people to agree, Naoki Nagayama walked out of the office, came to the audition room, and began to prepare for today's audition.
As before, the candidates naturally arrived at Tree Friends early.
But this time, the reception room on the second floor was filled with actresses.
Normally, women would be noisy when they were in the same room. But this time, there was no feeling of 500 ducks. Everyone was a competitor this time, and there was nothing to say. Even acquaintances just nodded.
There are thousands of thoughts hidden in the eyes of each actor!
Their eyes turned to several of the actresses, one was Kanako Higuchi and the other was Mieko Harada. Both of them had worked with Naoki Nagayama and had been rumored to have had affairs with him.
I didn't expect that I would audition with everyone this time~
"Please perform the scene in the script. Kimura-kun, you will be the male lead."
After Idou Shuichi handed the script to the actress, he immediately started to make things difficult for Kijima Kyon, asking you how dare you argue with me just now?!
"."
Kijima is speechless, but in this room, besides him, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou are all superiors. So he can only play a supporting role for the actress~
After a performance, Naoki Nagayama nodded in thanks:
"Arigato, let's stop here today. The performance was excellent. If there is any news, we will inform you."
“Thank you Director Yongshan.”
The actress seemed to want to increase her chances and winked at Naoki Nagayama:
"I am looking forward to working with Director Nagayama~ I will work very, very hard! I will do my best to meet all the director's requirements!"
"."
What does it mean when Naoki Nagayama keeps silent but tries his best? We are all adults now, so we all know.
"Ahem, Gangba daddy!"
After the actress left, he sighed and said that boys in this entertainment industry are still too dangerous!
"Naoki-san," Idou Shuichi said with a smile, "The actress just now has great potential~"
In the entertainment industry, the arena of fame and fortune, the winners are those who are ruthless to themselves! Either rely on talent, or work hard, or fight hard, or risk it all.
"Yes, I should be able to make a name for myself in the future!"
"Next!"
The next person to walk in was the familiar Kanako Higuchi!
"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, and Kijima-san, good morning."
I have worked with Shuyou many times, and I am familiar with Kanako Higuchi and several directors! So I was very relaxed when I came in~
"Kanami-san." Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, "Sashimi, how are you doing lately?"
“Hi, TOEFL everything is fine”
Since playing the role of Satomi in "Tokyo Love Story", Kanako Higuchi's resources have risen again. She has reached the level of a second-tier actress and has received many notices and collaborations. However, she rarely accepts them.
If she wants to continue to improve her status, she can only do so through movies, and now she has the confidence to choose.
After a few pleasantries, Naoki Nagayama handed the script to Kanako Higuchi.
"Here, this is today's script. Kijima-kun will act opposite you."
"Hi!"
In fact, Naoki Nagayama is still very optimistic about Kanako Higuchi, because she is the epitome of a good wife and mother. She has a gentle and generous round face, soft and non-aggressive facial features, and is very beautiful, like a beautiful girl next door.
After taking a quick look at the brief lines, Kanako Higuchi indicated that she was ready.
"Action!"
This time it was Idou Shuichi who shouted.
The audition clip today is a scene where the male protagonist's wife finds out that he works as a mortician, and she is confused and even wants to leave.
I saw Kanako Higuchi and Kyon Kijima sitting on both sides of the table. Kanako Higuchi looked at Kyon Kijima with anger and confusion:
"How can you do that kind of work? Aren't you ashamed?!"
"Why are you ashamed? Because you're touching a dead body?"
Kanako Higuchi shook her head helplessly, as if she was helpless and puzzled by her husband's choice.
"I just want you to find a normal job!"
"What do you mean by normal?"
Kanako Higuchi looked at her gentle husband in disbelief, and heard him say,
"Everyone dies eventually. So will I, and so will you."
"Stop preaching, just resign! Please!" Higuchi Kanako said, "I have never asked you for anything before."
"This time, I beg you!" Higuchi Kanako's face showed a sad and pleading expression, "Can you just listen to me this time?"
"What if... it doesn't work?" Kyon Kimura said while cooperating with the performance.
"Do you want to do this for the rest of your life?" Higuchi Kanako said sadly, and then she could only use leaving as the final resort, "I'm going back to my parents' home, wait for you to quit and come pick me up!"
"Meixiang!"
Kijima Kyon reached out to grab Higuchi Kanako and tried to keep her, but the emotions that had been suppressed until now finally burst out. Higuchi Kanako opened Kijima Kyon's hand as if in response to the stress, and cried out in a crying voice:
"Don't touch me! You're dirty!!!"
"."
"Papa papa ~"
Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou both applauded, both of them were amazed by this outstanding performance.
"But Nanzi-san, your performance was very good!"
"From the initial repression to the final explosion, it's all layered!"
"The expression was just right, and there were even tears in his eyes."
Kanako Higuchi has adjusted her mood. As she was getting into the depths of the performance, she seemed to have immersed herself in the role of the heroine.
"Thank you."
Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou looked at each other and did not continue to ask Kanako Higuchi to perform, but talked about other things:
"But Nanzi-san, do you know anything about the profession of undertaker?"
"When an elder in my family passed away, I had some experience with it and it felt like a very solemn profession. I subconsciously didn't dare to learn more about it~"
"Haha, people always stay away from death~"
Next, I talked about my views on death, my understanding of major life events, etc.
In the end, Naoki Nagayama did not give a definite answer, but just did the same as before:
"Kannanzi, let's stop here today. If you perform well and there are results, we will notify you later."
"Hey, Naoki-san, thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, it's all hard work, Kananzi."
After Higuchi Kanako left, Idou Shuichi looked puzzled and asked:
"Naoki-san, but Nanzi-san should be the most suitable one at the moment, right?"
"Indeed. Her image and acting skills are both very good, and we have worked together before." Naoki Nagayama didn't know either, and always felt that something was missing. "If there is no better, then let's choose Kananko-san. Anyway, let's take a look at the subsequent actor auditions first."
"Okay~"
Shuichi Ido did not interfere with Naoki Nagayama's decision. When casting for a movie, one certainly hopes to find an actor who is 100% suitable for the role, but that kind of situation is rare. Sometimes if it feels right, that's enough.
"Next person."
The next person to come over was Mieko Harada, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
There is a white building in Kunitachi City, Tokyo, with a white exterior wall that tightly blocks the view inside. There are only some small ventilation holes on the wall, like a military base.
This is the new home of Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi. It was built only a year ago and is worth hundreds of millions.
This is a helpless move. After all, there are always fans or paparazzi who want to disturb Yamaguchi Baihui's life. In order to avoid being secretly photographed, they can only build it like a bunker.
In fact, many celebrities’ homes are like this, with walls to block out malicious eyes.
It is too expensive to buy the surrounding buildings and rebuild a luxurious manor with bamboo forests and gardens as partitions, like Naoki Nagayama's Yamazakurain.
The original Yamazakurain villa cost more than 5 million, and after buying the small building next to it and rebuilding it, the total price exceeded 10 billion. Miura Tomokazu's new home was built with a loan!
"The mother of the child."
Miura Tomokazu held his eldest son in his arms and said to Yamaguchi Momoe who was taking care of the second son,
"There shouldn't be any problem this time. The role of the male lead will most likely be mine!"
"Has Naoki-san decided yet?" Yamaguchi Momoe asked doubtfully.
"He has clearly hinted to me!" said Miura Tomokazu, "I have asked the agency to help find a music teacher. I need to practice the cello during this period!"
Yamaguchi Baihui still had some doubts in her heart, but as a virtuous wife, she would not attack her husband at this time.
He smiled and gave praise:
"The kid's dad is awesome!"
"Of course."
It can be said that Miura Tomokazu was completely controlled by his wife. He was very happy after hearing the compliments and started playing with the children at home.
"This is Naoki-san's movie, so the appearance fee must be quite high! Even if most of it has to go to the agency, it can still pay off some of our loans!"
Japanese agencies can be said to be blood and flesh factories. Almost 9% of the money earned by the actors is taken, and the remaining 1% is left to the actors. This is still in accordance with the rules.
In an agency like Johnny's, idols can only get an ordinary monthly salary and don't even get any commission. They are definitely screws in the screws!
"Loan"
Only after Miura Tomokazu brought his son to the yard did Yamaguchi Momoe sigh.
For ordinary people, a loan of hundreds of millions is already an unbearable burden, and it is impossible to pay it off in a lifetime!
Although Yamaguchi Baihui earned a lot of money when she was an idol, she had to pay a penalty in order to leave the entertainment industry, which was almost another way of "leaving the family with nothing". Her husband also had a difficult career for several years because of his own reasons.
So after building the house, their lives were even a little tight. It was only in the past two years that things got better.
However, it is still a long way to go before the loan is fully repaid.
Shaking their heads, Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu talked about the plot of "Departures".
"I haven't seen the specific script, but from what I've been chatting with Naoki-san, it seems to be about a cellist who becomes an undertaker."
Miura Tomokazu said,
"I also experienced misunderstandings from my family and friends, and finally I went from hating and resisting this profession to understanding the importance of it."
Yamaguchi Baihui nodded:
"It looks like a warm and touching movie."
"Yes." Miura Tomokazu said, "I also asked Naoki-san why he didn't act himself this time. Because the hero and heroine are a couple, it's just right to bring Akina-chan along~"
"What did he say?" Yamaguchi Momoe also became curious.
"Naoki-san said he had had such an idea."
Miura Tomokazu said,
"But I feel my acting skills are not up to par. The emotions that the male and female protagonists need to express are delicate and profound, which is a real test of my acting skills. He can direct, but when it comes to acting, I still lack a little bit."
Seeing her husband looking somewhat proud, Yamaguchi Baihui praised him again:
"You are a great actor, Youhe! I'm sure you can perform well!"
"Haha. Of course!"
At home, Tomokazu Miura seemed a little relaxed.
Yamaguchi Baihui continued to ask:
"What about Akina-chan? Her acting skills have improved very quickly! Her eye acting in Ghost was outstanding!"
"Ah, Akina-chan."
Miura Tomokazu shook his head.
"I guess Naoki-san didn't want Akina to play opposite other male actors. It seems like there are some intimate scenes."
"."
It is indeed easy to understand that Naoki Nagayama does not want his wife to perform intimate scenes with other men!
Yamaguchi Momoe looked at Miura Tomokazu and she also didn't want her husband to be too close to another woman!
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Miura Tomokazu, but during the filming, the handsome man and beautiful woman spent most of the time together for several months, and there were so many intimate scenes that anyone would be unable to control themselves!
Didn’t she and Miura Tomokazu appear in several dramas together, and that’s when the sparks flew?
"If Youhe and I were still filming together, would it be better?"
This thought subconsciously emerged in Yamaguchi Baihui's mind, and she was even surprised by her own thought.
Because if Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu were to work together again, the hype storm it would bring would definitely explode the entertainment industry!
Fans will surround them, paparazzi will pounce on them again, and even the father who was just sent away with great difficulty may cause trouble again!
Also, the agency that had previously reached an agreement to retire would definitely not agree!
Thinking of this, Yamaguchi Baihui quickly shook her head.
"No, I finally left the entertainment industry, I can't go back!"
