Chapter 1504, page 1513: Do you want to eat or sleep with me?!
Early in the morning, a lot of handsome young men suddenly arrived at the Tree Friends Building, much to the delight of Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Xingxia, who were working at the front desk!
"So handsome! So handsome!"
Xing Jiahua looked at one picture and immediately moved on to the next, feeling that today was her special day.
"Wow, there are so many handsome guys today! They could all be models!"
"It was an audition for 'Sorry, I Love You'."
Suzuki Yukina said while stealing a glance,
"Nishimoto-kun is going to have an audition, and he has notified all the major agencies in the industry."
"Huh? Wasn't it already decided?"
Xing Jiahua was always very well-informed, and she asked with some surprise,
"The female lead is Rie Miyazawa, and the male lead's name is... what was it again? He's a male model!"
"It's just a slight inclination."
Suzuki Yukina and Nishimoto Tomoyuki, who were exchanging glances, knew even more about the inside story.
"We still need to invite them to audition to see their acting skills. Besides, there are other male characters in the TV series!"
To be honest, Shuyou's agency is somewhat overly female. They have many female artists, all of whom are very famous, and they can fill all the roles internally, while they only have one or two male artists. They couldn't even fill all the male roles in "Sorry, I Love You."
"I see."
Xing Jiahua nodded, then continued to immerse herself in admiring the handsome man.
"In short, it was a feast for the eyes! Hehehe~"
Just as the two lecherous women were openly peeping, Nishimoto Tomoyuki came downstairs:
"Hoshika-san, Yuki Natsumi-chan, wipe your drool!!"
"!!!"
Hoshino Kaka paused for a moment, instinctively raising her hand. Then she immediately realized what she'd done and glared fiercely at Nishimoto Tomoyuki. Suzuki Kouka, standing beside her, looked somewhat embarrassed. Still too young.
Nishimoto Banyuki did not continue to provoke the two receptionists, but instead handed them the registration form:
"Next, please call people into the audition room in the order listed."
Then he handed over a stack of scripts:
"This is the performance segment. Please distribute it to the candidates present. Although you probably already knew this, please watch it again."
"Xingxia-chan, you can be a model for me later. You don't need to say anything!"
"Hi~~"
Suzuki Yukina was a little shy, but since Nishimoto Tomoyuki had already discussed this with her, she didn't hesitate.
"Eek~~"
Xing Jiahua drew out her disdain and took the two documents.
Then she had Suzuki Yukina call out names according to the registration form, and she sent them the script. While she was doing this, she also took a look at the plot.
Inside the car speeding along, the male protagonist's eyes were slightly red as he pressed the accelerator and pressed the female protagonist's foot, asking her:
"Do you want to eat or give me a kiss?!"
"Do you want to eat or sleep with me?!"
"Do you want to eat, or come die with me?!"
Each word was stronger than the last, as if they contained boundless grievances and boundless love.
When Xing Jiahua read this passage, the first thought that popped into her mind was:
"What kind of food is so delicious?"
Then I realized what had happened.
"If my man said that, then you might as well die. I'm going to eat!"
"Sigh, I don't understand romance dramas anymore these days."
While sighing, she handed the script to the waiting artists. Looking at these handsome men who were in their early twenties, at most no more than twenty-five, she thought to herself that she was almost thirty.
"Is it really because I'm getting old?!"
For someone her age, these romantic drama plots are simply awkward. But for teenagers, they're just right!
Upon hearing that a romance drama was being cast, Johnny's Entertainment naturally sent someone over.
Johnny & Associates is a semi-monopolistic agency for young male idols in Japan. Although Johnny Kitagawa has a bad reputation, the young male artists he trains are indeed very talented, capable of singing, dancing, and rapping. I've even heard that they go to learn circus arts and can do somersaults!
Furthermore, the relationship between Johnny's and his friends is quite good, except for Masahiko Kondo, who is already past his prime.
Ah, this person has been completely abandoned; they're not given any resources anymore. Furthermore, their popularity and reputation collapsed after being caught on camera by the media assisting in bribery, and they can't even get on regular nostalgic talk shows anymore!
He can only rely on his past fame to make a living performing in bars, and I heard that he was even pelted with bottles by the audience because of his terrible singing skills!
Because of Johnny's Entertainment's monthly salary system, there used to be some advertising revenue, but his excessive spending during his rise to fame led to bad habits, and now he has no money left, while his family is still a bunch of bloodsuckers.
In short, it's almost at the point where Japan will cut off its supply!
Yes, Japan also has its own killing lines, and they are even more ruthless and cold-blooded.
However, this guy probably has another option: becoming a male escort. With his past fame, he still has a good market.
Let's get back to the casting process!
After receiving the invitation from a fan, Johnny & Associates sent their newly created boy group, SMAP.
Five young and handsome male idols were originally planning to receive proper training this year and debut as a group next year, succeeding Hikaru Genji as the next generation of Japanese idol group!
But wouldn't it be the best debut opportunity if I could participate in the Monday 9 PM drama of the same name?!
Of course, only the oldest, Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai, participated in the audition; the others were all under 16.
"Kimura!"
Masahiro Nakai looked at the script he had just received with some nervousness.
"How should we act out this scene?!"
"."
Takuya Kimura was also very nervous, as this was their first time auditioning for Tree Friends. They were still young, having grown up listening to Tree Friends' legendary stories since they were about ten years old, and they held this behemoth in great awe!
"I don't know either."
Takuya Kimura glanced at the script.
"What are you talking about, eating, kissing, sleeping? Go to hell! What are you doing?!"
"They said they would ask questions one by one."
Masahiro Nakai continued,
"So, all you have to do is make each sentence louder than the last, right?!"
"I guess so"
"Then let's do it this way!!"
"it is good!"
Two teenagers, barely in their adolescence, reached an agreement just like that!
The meeting room was rearranged and turned into a casting location.
On the table were the resumes of everyone who came to participate in the audition, and behind them was a camera to record the audition details. Nishimoto Tomoyuki and Matsuo Muneo were sitting inside preparing.
"Matsuo, after this, we're even!"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki called Matsuo Muneo for help in order to prevent him from having been tricked by Matsuo Muneo before.
"Okay, okay, whatever Director Nishimoto says goes!"
Facing his friend, Matsuo Muneo responded with a smile.
"Even if that incident hadn't happened, I would still have come to help."
"Heh~~"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki gave a cold laugh, and then said,
"Alright, the auditioning artist will be coming in soon. I put him first!"
"Oh? That person?"
"Hmm~"
"Then let's take a look."
In the waiting room, Suzuki Yukina called out the first name:
"Contestant number 1, Yutaka Takenouchi. Please proceed to the audition!"
"Hi!"
A handsome man with medium-length hair, deep-set features, and a rugged face stood up.
It's me.
"Then please come in."
Suzuki Yukina's eyes lit up, and then she led Takenouchi Yutaka into the conference room.
Upon entering the conference room, one sees two directors standing ready, along with cameras already in operation. However, Yutaka Takenouchi, a former model, is not intimidated.
"Good morning, examiners. I am Yutaka Takenouchi from Tokyo. Nice to meet you."
"Ah, nice to meet you. I'm director Tomonyuki Nishimoto, and this is his assistant, Muneo Matsuo."
Nishimoto Banyuki looked him up and down, and after seeing him in person, he was quite satisfied with his strong yet melancholic face. Moreover, as a model, he was also quite tall, though a bit thin, and probably needed to build some muscle.
At this moment, Takenouchi Yutaka felt a little numb under that aggressive gaze, and a thought involuntarily arose in his mind:
"Could it be that the director on the other end is a herbivore?!"
"Cough cough, all done!"
Matsuo Muneo gave a timely reminder.
"Mr. Takeno, you already know the audition script, right?"
"Hi, I've already received it."
"Are you ready?"
"Hi"
"Alright. This is the film set, and you're driving."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki had Suzuki Kouka sit on the stool next to Takenouchi Yutaka, and then said to Takenouchi Yutaka,
"We can begin!"
"."
Yutaka Takenouchi raised his hand slightly awkwardly, using the script as a steering wheel, and acted as if he were driving before taking a moment to prepare himself:
"Let's go eat! What do you want to eat?!"
Suzuki Yukina covered her face and shook her head, only managing to utter one sentence:
"parking!"
At this point, Takenouchi Yutaka was still speaking in a teasing tone:
"Want to go eat or give me a kiss?!"
Suzuki Yukina lowered her hand and called out:
Stop the car immediately!
Then, Takenouchi Yutaka started to get a little angry:
"Go eat or sleep with me?!"
Suzuki Yukina shouted:
"Open the door now or I'm jumping out of the car!!"
Seeing that the guy next to him didn't appreciate it, Takenouchi Yutaka felt a surge of resentment and anger, and shouted even louder:
"Go eat or come die with me?!"
He then pressed on, asking:
"Go eat, or die with me?!"
"."
The final roar echoed in the conference room, and for a moment the film set fell silent.
Nishimoto Tomoyuki, the chief examiner, also had a smile on his face:
"As expected, the person I've set my sights on is quite good!"
Matsuo Muneo observed the scene with curiosity, feeling that this model named Takenouchi Yutaka seemed to really have something special!
Although the technique was somewhat clumsy, that subtle essence—the male protagonist's unwillingness to accept his injustice, and a hint of heartache—that's true talent!
"Alright. Very well done!"
Matsuo Muneo, playing the good cop, turned to Nishimoto Tomoyuki with a smile and asked...
"Nishimoto-kun, how about performing something else?"
Not for now.
Nishimoto Banyuki asked with a smile,
"Takeno-san, have you participated in any other performances before?"
"Attended a short-term performance training course"
"Hmm, that's pretty good~"
Having no experience as a blank slate is no problem; with his extensive experience in directing dramas, Tomoyuki Nishimoto is confident he can train her well!
"Alright, Takeno-san. Today's audition is over. We'll contact you if there are any updates!"
Matsuo Muneo then began to shoo people away.
"Xingxia-chan, please bring in the next one!"
"Hey Takeno-san, come with me~"
Seeing Suzuki Yukina leave with her entourage, Matsuo Muneaki laughed again:
"Xingxia-chan's performance was really good! Shouldn't we give her a role?!"
"."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki rolled his eyes. He simply wasn't interested in entertainers, which was why he had fallen for Suzuki Kouka. How could he possibly let her enter that cesspool now?
Watching each candidate being led into the meeting room, and then brought out again a while later...
Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai became even more nervous. When it was finally their turn, Masahiro Nakai went in first. When he came out looking dejected, Takuya Kimura didn't even have time to ask what happened before Kouka Suzuki called him in.
Upon entering the conference room, I saw two well-known directors in the industry, and a camera already set up.
"Hi Marseille, I'm Takuya Kimura from Johnny's Entertainment!! Nice to meet you."
"Another Johnny's?"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki glanced at the resume, then looked at Kimura Takuya.
"Why are Johnny's sending such young artists this time? They don't seem to have even debuted yet!"
Matsuo Sosei smiled and said:
"Maybe they want to see if there's a chance~ It's inconvenient to open a bare GENJI."
"Too."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki looked Kimura Takuya up and down.
"You're a handsome young man. When did you join Johnny's Entertainment? Have you studied acting?"
"I joined Johnny's last year!"
Takuya Kimura nodded.
"Before that, I had taught myself singing and dancing for two years, and I also learned acrobatics at Johnny's Entertainment."
"Haha, a trainee who's been practicing for two years."
Matsuo Sosei nodded,
"Alright, let's see how well we've done the practice."
"Hi!"
However, an overly nervous Takuya Kimura immediately broke into an impromptu street dance upon hearing this!! He even did a somersault!!
By the time he finished reading, Matsuo Muneo was laughing uncontrollably, and Nishimoto Tomonori reluctantly chimed in:
"Alright, that's enough about my individual skills."
"Next, this is the film set. These two seats are the driver's seat of a car. Let's get started with our performance!"
"Hi"
Slightly out of breath, Takuya Kimura nodded and sat down, while Kouka Suzuki began to perform as well.
"A kiss or dinner?!"
Kimura Takuya made a mistake with his very first line, and his face immediately turned red!
However, Koka Suzuki still maintains her performance:
"Open the door."
Embarrassed and annoyed, Takuya Kimura blurted out:
"Do you want to sleep with me or eat with me?!"
Stop the car immediately!
"Do you want to die with me or eat?!"
"I'm jumping out of the car if you don't stop!"
"You want to die with me?!"
Kimura Takuya growled.
"We still need to eat?!"
"."
After the performance, Takuya Kimura, panting, covered his face. He was utterly mortified! He felt that today's audition was a complete disaster!
Sure enough, Matsuo Muneo, who was taking the test earlier, couldn't stop laughing:
"Haha, well, a couple's argument has turned into a gangster extortion and threat!"
"."
Nishimoto Tomonori ignored Matsuo Muneo and instead comforted Kimura Takuya:
"Kimura-kun, you're still young, it's normal to make mistakes."
"At least, it showed us how to adapt to changing circumstances."
"A private Marseille!"
Takuya Kimura bowed in apology.
"Alright. That concludes today's audition. We'll contact you if there are any updates!"
"Hi"
Takuya Kimura followed Kouka Suzuki stiffly, knowing he had absolutely no hope.
After the man left, Nishimoto Tomonyuki patted Matsuo Muneo on the shoulder:
"Stop laughing at that little kid, you're making him feel awkward!"
"Haha, that's really funny!"
Matsuo Muneo, however, found it quite interesting.
"I think this kid is quite pleasing to the eye. Why don't we let him play a role?"
"...Pleasing to the eye?"
Nishimoto Banyuki felt that this casting was somewhat frivolous.
"Pleasant to look at"
Matsuo Sosei nodded,
"According to Naoki-san, it's about public appeal. Having a face that isn't disliked is actually a lot of a talent!"
"I think that kid has a lot of potential! There's a young idol role in 'Sorry, I Love You' too."
"Well"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki stroked his chin.
"I'll think about it."
"."
As they were talking, the next candidate came in.
