Chapter 91 Audition Invitation

After Kazuki Akiyama returned to his office, he found Yoshitaka Watanabe and told him about his meeting with the senior management of Burning Office.

Although Yoshitaka Watanabe was also troubled by the energy of the Burning agency, he still stood firmly on Kazuki Akiyama's side.

The reason is simple, if Kazuki Akiyama really transfers the contract to Burning, with their domineering style, there will be nothing wrong with him by then.

How can I give up halfway when my career has finally started to improve.Although Buring is powerful, but for his own money, he also showed [-] points of passion.

There is no need for Kazuki Akiyama to say more, he has already contacted the contacts he has operated in the circle for so many years, especially the media.

With Burning's style of work, all actions are generally operated through the media at the beginning.

He also knows a lot of people on the gossip tabloids. Although they don't have much energy, they are very well-informed.

Especially near the bottom, ghosts and snakes have their own supernatural powers, and sometimes the news is known earlier than the orthodox media.

While Yoshitaka Watanabe was running around for Burning's possible revenge, Kazuki Akiyama was thinking about preparing for his next single.

Although there may be drama appointments in the first half of the year, we can't just wait.Taking advantage of this gap to release a single, just to fill the gap during the acting period.

As for the next single, he will choose the song "Sakura" that he just finished composing.No one, because the season is right.

When the production of this single is completed, the time may be just in March.And when is the season when the cherry blossoms in Fukuoka, the southernmost tip of Japan, are about to bloom.

The opening time of Japanese cherry blossoms starts from the warm southern tip of the Japanese archipelago to the north.

It happened that the recording of this single could be completed before then. He plans to find Takeshi Hayama for the arrangement of this single. After all, he promised him last time, and he is more suitable for this kind of slow-paced J-POP.

As for my teacher, Masao Akashi, he is actually better at rock-style arrangements, but I have also studied arrangement for so long, so I can try to participate in some.

After waiting for two days without waiting for BURNING's revenge, I received an unexpected invitation.

An audition invitation from Fuji TV Serial Production Bureau should be the TV series Iwai Shunji mentioned before.

Kazuki Akiyama took the white-covered script, which contained only a few sheets of paper, flipped through it, and mainly introduced the background of the story and the characters that appeared.

The six brothers and sisters of the Kashiwagi family lost their parents due to a traffic accident seven years ago. The six brothers and sisters were forced to live in different foster families. For a long time, each of them did not know what kind of life the others lived.

Seven years later, the eldest son Tatsuya returned to Tokyo from Hiroshima, and he wanted to reunite with his younger siblings and live a family life again. A series of things happened in the process of finding his siblings.

The characters involved in the scene received by Kazuki Akiyama are Kashiwagi Tatsuya, Kashiwagi Masaya, and Kashiwagi Kazuya, and they circled the names with a pen.

What do you mean, who did you audition for? He was at a loss as he had no acting experience.

It doesn't matter if you just read all the three characters' materials, and it's not too short of time to do everything.

The audition time is only these few days, and Kazuki Akiyama will occasionally wander around the STUDIO BIRDMAN GRAY ROOM recording studio while thinking about the characters.

The main thing is to find Takeshi Hayama. Since I decided to ask him to help arrange the music, Kazuki Akiyama found him in advance and told him that I would choose the song "Sakura" written in the recording studio for my next single.

So when he is free or not, he will discuss with Takeshi Hayama some arrangement details, including style, direction, musical elements used, etc.

Although Takeshi Hayama is now mainly busy with the arrangement work of Izumi Sakai, but occasionally he also takes care of Kazuki Akiyama.And Akiyama Kazuki himself also tried to make it up by himself first.

For example, the lead instrument in the accompaniment was replaced by a piano, which made the atmosphere of the whole song softer and more romantic.

This is the first time he has really participated in the arrangement work of a single. Although he has stumbled, he enjoys it.Because this ability does not come from the apocalypse, but something that really belongs to me, something that I will not worry about suddenly disappearing or forgetting.

...

On Monday, Kazuki Akiyama went to the Fuji TV headquarters building in Kawatacho, Shinjuku to prepare for the first audition in his life.

This time it was Yoshitaka Watanabe who drove the car. Obviously, he is more experienced in this kind of formal place and the interview of comedians.As for Akiyama Kazuki and Ishida Takumi, they followed him obediently and listened to him explaining various rules and taboos in the industry.

Fuji TV Akiyama Kazuki also visited once during his debut single, and it is still a square building.

At the entrance on the north side, there were already staff waiting there, and after greeting each other, they followed the staff into the interior.

It doesn't feel like it from the outside, but the space inside is very large. Walking all the way through Kazuki Akiyama, I saw numbered studios, which are very large in scale.

The last time I came here, I was only in a corner studio, and now I only know its inner world when I enter the interior.At the same time, I have to sigh the pride of Fuji TV.The value of this real estate and headquarters building alone must be an astronomical figure.

While thinking wildly, he has come to a small workshop.The fellow staff knocked on the door, and after getting a response, signaled Kazuki Akiyama to go in.

Nodding, Kazuki Akiyama entered the studio alone, while Yoshitaka Watanabe and Takumi Ishida stayed outside. When they first arrived, there were already a few people sitting on the bench in the corridor, presumably they were also accompanying the actors who came to audition.

After entering the room, Kazuki Akiyama took a glance, and there was no group of young people waiting for the audition as he imagined.In fact, this is because he thought too much. With his current fame and status, he no longer needs to participate in similar auditions.

The really important roles are directly handled by the TV station, and some unimportant supporting roles will be handed over to the talent agency for their recommendation, and then they will audition together.

At this time, there were only a few staff members in the room, and there was a door inside, presumably that was where the audition took place.

Seeing Kazuki Akiyama coming in, a staff member immediately came up and handed Kazuki Akiyama a few pieces of paper.

"Akiyama-san, this is the script that you need to audition for later."

Nodding and thanking, Kazuki Akiyama took the script and looked at it carefully.If I acted in the part where Kashiwa Muya and Kashiwa Tatsuya met for the first time and argued in the rain.

Sitting down with the script in hand, Kazuki Akiyama began to ponder over the characters and situations. After a few minutes, when he heard the door open, Kazuki Akiyama subconsciously raised his head.

"Fukuyama-san?"

It was Masaharu Fukuyama who opened the door. As an actor who debuted in 88 and a solo singer in 90, he is definitely Kazuki Akiyama's senior.
