Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1431 1432. Self-Casting
When I came to Tokyo, it was as if a celebration ball had been opened before my eyes.Among the lights, colorful confetti and streamers fell one after another, making people dazzled.

Ordinarily, the second time I came to Tokyo, I should be more calm and natural than the first time I came to Tokyo.

However, Ayumi Hamasaki still felt a little dazed at certain times.

"Everyone, please do it next!"

Noisy voices poured into Ayumi Hamasaki's ears.She came to her senses, and in front of her was the steel and iron frame of the studio.Today I came to participate in the filming of "Twin Teachers".

When I came to Tokyo for the second time, I felt much calmer than when I came for the first time.However, this was not because her short stay in Tokyo satisfied her curiosity about Tokyo.It was because, during the last trip to Tokyo, Ayumi Hamasaki confirmed that he would stay in Tokyo in the future - such a goal.

Tokyo is like a kingdom above the clouds only when you look forward to it from afar.Once you walk into Tokyo, the city is no longer dazzling.

It is the first time for Ayumi Hamasaki to participate in the filming of a TV series. Although he has faced the camera since he was a child, and under the guidance of the photographer, he has posed a suitable pose for shooting. He also learned early on that even if he is unhappy, he should pretend to be himself and thank him .However, such "acting skills" have become something that is not used at all in the shooting of TV dramas.

I want to be an actress in the future!

Ayumi Hamasaki once declared so.But entering the shooting scene, cooperating with newcomers who are similar to his own age, and playing against actors who are older and more experienced than himself, this is so hard for Ayumi Hamasaki, and it doesn't make sense.

To become an actor, what you want to play is another person, not another yourself.Trying to put myself fully into it, but often feel my own stiffness because of distraction.

Performing skits talking to yourself in the mirror, or impersonating a comedian in front of your family is not an actor.

……

Most of the rookie actors who were selected to play students in the TV series were newcomers from the Tokyo office.Among the male students, there is Johnny JR who has not debuted yet, and the female students are newcomers that various firms will promote.

Before the official shooting started, during the standby time, the newcomers in the big firm only talked to the newcomers in the big firm.Ayumi Hamasaki, who came from a small office in the country, seemed out of place in this.

"Is it hard?" A female voice rang in her ear.

Ayumi Hamasaki turned his head and saw a lively smiling face.This is the same as myself, the girl who plays the student in the TV series, her name is Kanno Miho.

She is one year older than Ayumi Hamasaki. She is a young actress selected from TV Asahi's variety show called "Sakura Club". This time, she was selected again to participate in TV Asahi's filming.

Ayumi Hamasaki shook his head, "It's okay."

In Miho Kanno's view, Ayumi Hamasaki, who is one year younger than herself and came to Tokyo from the countryside of Fukuoka, is a beautiful girl who is not easy to get close to.

The reason why she felt that she was not easy to approach was not because she had a bit of a bad girl feeling, but when she was free, Kanno Miho looked at her face and couldn't guess what was going on in her heart.

She seems to be preoccupied, but doesn't care about anything... a girl who gives people such a feeling.

...is a beautiful girl.

Kanno Miho quietly added in her heart.Ayumi Hamasaki has a doll-like face that even a girl would admire.

She has a little bit of envy and jealousy towards Ayumi Hamasaki, but when she thinks of a girl from the country, even if she has a pretty face, she doesn't get the support of the office, and she has no chance to become a starring role, she feels peaceful in her heart, even , with a little sympathy for this beautiful girl.

For a girl actress from the countryside, the more qualified she is, the more sympathetic she is, as if she has seen her wasted career in entertainment.Miho Kanno may not be uneasy and kind, but she just thought she understood what "reality" is early on.

"Sakura Club" has gathered many young idols. Although Miho Kanno has little experience, she has already learned that the entertainment industry is a place that values ​​​​the power behind it.The stronger the firm, the more chances newcomers have.

"Now is the era when rookies with no experience can also be leading actors..." Miho Kanno and Ayumi Hamasaki said in a low voice.Although Ayumi Hamasaki is self-conscious and calm here, Miho Kanno still feels guilty when she thinks of those newcomers who are really pushed by big firms.

However, Ayumi Hamasaki did not respond to such words.

Miho Kanno didn't care either. She pointed to the opposite corner and told Ayumi Hamasaki, "Those two over there are both Johnny's JR, and the one named Nagase is quite stylish, isn't it?"

Following Kanno Miho's words, Ayumi Hamasaki turned his gaze to the opposite side.The two Genesis didn't know what they were talking about, and they were all smiling.Sensing the gaze from this side, the two teenagers looked here, and one of them showed a gentlemanly smile to Ayumi Hamasaki.

Ayumi was stunned for a moment, then nodded at him a little bored, thinking, this guy is just too sentimental.

The other Johnny next to him showed an exaggerated expression in response to Ayumi Hamasaki's reaction, just like a classmate in school who was intentionally annoying.

……Really bad.

Ayumi thought so, and Miho Kanno revealed to her the information she had collected, "That Nagase-kun, maybe, will debut as a band."

Kanno Miho might be very interested in that Nagase, Ayumi Hamasaki thought of such a thought.

"Band?" Ayumi Hamasaki hadn't actually matched the two teenagers, so he didn't know which Nagase Miho Kanno was talking about.

Before the official filming of the TV series, there was a link where everyone introduced themselves one by one together.When the main creators of the TV series introduce themselves, their speech speed is still normal, but as the people who introduce themselves become less and less important, everyone's speech speed is also uncontrollable, faster and faster. Characters, no one remembers who.

Two teenagers, who is Nagase?

"The combination of Nagase-kun has its own titled program on NTV. I heard that Genzo's Iwahashi-san planned it for them." Miho Kanno also specifically mentioned that this Nagase-kun was not the original member of the group, but was in the group. Added to the mix after swapping.

However, Ayumi Hamasaki's attention was attracted by the phrase "GENZO's Iwahashi-san".

Kazuki Sawamura, one of the leading actors in this TV series, is an actor in Watanabe-san's office.The theme song of this drama will be sung by THE BLUE HEARTS, a band under GENZO Records.And this Nagase-kun, his group will be produced by Iwahashi Shinichi.

Ayumi Hamasaki felt that he was very close to Shinichi Iwahashi.But I don't know why, but I also feel that I have a kind of stupidity of throwing myself into a trap.

……

The president of U-MIZ office, Watanabe, is a more likable woman than expected.She is young, has a gentle face, and is a beauty with the demeanor of a professional woman.Kazuki Sawamura played the leading role in the TV series, and that Watanabe-san came to visit the set.

Ayumi Hamasaki watched her greet the director from a distance, saw the tall and handsome Sawamura-san, walked over with a smile on his face, and bowed to her.

If you look at it that way, he is quite an easy-going person.But thinking of the way Kazuki Sawamura walked over to salute her when he saw her, Ayumi Hamasaki felt that this Watanabe-san should be a very serious person in private and not easy to mess with.

Growing up in a women's home and being controlled by two generations of women, grandmother and mother, Ayumi Hamasaki has a natural rejection of the authoritative female elders, as if it is a kind of girlish rebellion reflected outside Expect.

That president-san even gave her Watanabe-san's business card.Such thoughts came to Ayumi Hamasaki's mind, as if she was complaining about Shinichi Iwahashi's sloppy actions and did not consider her feelings.

Up to now, she has completely threatened to become an actor in front of Shinichi Iwahashi, so she received Mayumi Watanabe's business card, and completely forgot the ins and outs of all this.

As we grow older, the solid things we want to remember have become obsessions.And those unimportant things are constantly changing in memory in order to solidify those things you want to remember, just to make everything "reasonable".

"Thank you for your hard work today!"

With this sentence, today's shooting came to an end.Everyone at the scene said "hard work" to each other and nodded their heads.Ayumi Hamasaki also bowed to all around in the commotion of the shooting scene.

Walking out of the shooting scene, the agent came to greet her, "Welcome back, Ayu~"

Ayumi Hamasaki replied lazily: "I'm back."

"It feels good to be filming a TV series, right?" The manager's tone was a little excited. "When you enter a filming scene, you can experience a new life. Except for actors, there is no other profession that can enjoy such good things."

Ayumi Hamasaki muttered, "To experience a different life, doesn't it mean to abandon the life that really belongs to you?"

"How is it possible!" The manager's reaction was as if he heard the child's words.She smiled and patted Ayumi on the shoulder, "No matter what you say about acting, it's just acting. How could you abandon your life for this?"

"Since this is the case, it's no longer possible to experience a new life, is it?" Ayumi Hamasaki showed a bit of stubbornness.

The manager choked for a moment, not knowing how to refute.She lightly pressed Ayumi Hamasaki's shoulder, took her hand back, and said to her: "In short, let's play this role well first. Isn't it Ayu's dream to become an actress?"

In the future, I want to be an actress.

Ayumi Hamasaki once said this. Before joining the current firm, during the interview, his mother Zhang Zi also mentioned when communicating with the president, "Ayu is very interested in acting."

From a model to an actress, don't those famous female stars walk such a path?
Really came to the set of the TV series, when the agent mentioned her dream.Suddenly, Ayumi Hamasaki felt a bit shaken.Is becoming an actress really her dream?
Really, is it a dream that I love from the bottom of my heart and that I want to realize...?
