Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2156 Who do you like?
The selection of "Onmyoji" was held here at the headquarters of Shochiku Films, and this time there were as many as a thousand people who signed up.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't limited the age between 16 and 24, the number of applicants would have doubled.

But even so, there are still many well-known female stars and idols participating in this selection.

Yoko Minano, who has already quit the company, is naturally one of them. At this time, she and other girls who came to participate in the selection used to sit on the bench outside and wait for their number to be called inside.

Generally, well-known female idols like Yoko Minano will be accompanied by their managers when they participate in any activities or selections.

But at this time, Yoko Minano had just quit the agency and hadn't found a suitable agent yet, so her friend told her about the interview this time, so Yoko Minano took the application form and mailed it over.

Shizuka Kudo and Miho Nakayama were accompanied by their managers, as were the other female stars. Only Yoko Minano sat on a bench with ordinary girls and waited.

Yoko Minano has often appeared on TV before, so everyone is not surprised that she will appear here.

It's just that there is no one accompanying Nanye Yoko, which is completely different from her previous image of playing big names and having a bad personality.

However, most of the people at the scene didn't think this was the real Yoko Minano, and they all thought that she didn't have a manager because she deliberately pretended to be miserable.

After all, she just made the astonishing move of quitting the company before, because everyone thought she was an outlier without knowing the inside story.

No one next to him talked to Yoko Minano, so she could only sit there quietly.

"Come in on the 39th."

At this moment, the people inside called Nanye Yoko's number, she got up immediately, and then entered the interview room under the leadership of the staff.

There are a few tables inside, and a few interviewers are sitting there.

Nanye Yoko has never met Lin Daoqiu, so she doesn't know what the other person looks like.

"Hi everyone, my name is Yoko Minano, please take care of me."

Yoko Minano briefly introduced herself to everyone present.

Lin Daoqiu was the same as in the usual interviews. He didn't sit in front of the table, but sat there with a chair next to him, looking like an ordinary staff member.

When waiting in line before, Lin Daoqiu had asked someone to prepare a small box with some notes in it, and the actors who came to the interview each drew a note from it, and each note corresponds to a small script.

What Yoko Minano got was a scene in which she came to visit her terminally ill ex-boyfriend. This scene was not easy to act in. If she didn't handle it well, she would become the heroine of a bloody romance drama.

But Yoko Minano obviously came prepared. Although it can't be said to be a perfect interpretation, she still grasped the proportions in it, neither too much nor too cold-blooded.

Lin Daoqiu had heard about Minano Yoko's acting skills for a long time, and although her appearance was not as eye-catching as Nakayama Miho and Miyazawa Rie, she was better than her excellent temperament.

There are many beautiful beauties in the entertainment industry, but many of them are just good skins with empty skins.

After Minano Yoko finished performing, the person in charge of this interview asked.

"Miss Nanye, thank you very much for your performance. Can I ask why you came to participate in this audition this time?"

Yoko Minano thought for a while and replied.

"Because I like Mr. Lin's movies very much. This time I learned that he is going to make "Onmyoji", so I decided to give it a try. If I am lucky enough to be selected, I hope to ask Mr. Lin for advice on how to act."

Although Nanye Yoko said so, asking Lin Daoqiu for acting skills is only part of it, and the rest is the biggest reason for her to participate in the selection this time.

The person who asked the question turned his head to look at Lin Daoqiu, and after finding that the other party had no response, he asked Nanye Yoko to go back and wait for news.

Although there were 1000 people who signed up, 200 inappropriate ones had been eliminated before that, and the remaining [-] people entered the primary election.

And 170 people were eliminated in the primary election, leaving only 30 people to enter the re-examination, which naturally included Yoko Minano, Rie Miyazawa, Shizuka Kudo and Miho Nakayama.

In the eyes of others, the selection of these four people means that the heroine of "Onmyoji" should basically choose one of them.

It's not just other people who think this way, even the four of them think this way, after all, they are the four most popular among the female idols of Neon at this time.

"Yoko Minano, Rie Miyazawa, Shizuka Kudo and Miho Nakayama, I think it should be no problem to choose one of these four."

Before the start of the re-examination, Maekawa Kiyoshi chatted with Lin Daoqiu about the selection.

In Maekawa Kiyoshi's view, finding these four to play the heroines will not only attract their supporters to buy tickets to enter the venue, but also they are very suitable for the heroines of "Onmyoji" in terms of image.

"The retest hasn't started yet, everything is unknown."

Lin Daoqiu still had a choice of candidates at this time. Although these four performed well, Lin Daoqiu had not already decided to choose one of them.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Qian Chuanqing was a little surprised, because if he were to choose, he would definitely choose one of these four people.

However, Songzhu Yinghua is only responsible for cooperating with Lin Daoqiu's selection this time. He only has the right to recommend but not to decide, because it is Lin Daoqiu who finally decides who the heroine is, not him Maekawa Kiyonori.

And among these four people, there are several actresses who are also attracting attention, among them is Hiroko Yakushimaru, she is just 24 years old this year, and she can barely meet the upper limit of the selection requirements.

If the selection of "Onmyoji" is held next year, Yakushimaru Hiroko will exceed the selection age standard.

If Lin Daoqiu had to make a decision, he would definitely choose Yakushi Maru Hiroko as the heroine of "Onmyoji".

The reason why she was selected is very simple. Hiroko Yakushi Maru crushes everyone in acting, and she has a baby face.

Although she is 24 years old, she looks like a teenage girl, so this can be said to be a gift from God to her.

However, Lin Daoqiu did not reveal his thoughts, because he knew very well that once he said that he was optimistic about Yakushi Maru Hiroko, someone would definitely reveal this matter at that time.

Once Yakushi Maru Hiroko is affected by that time, he may not perform well in the retest, so Lin Daoqiu can't reveal any intentions, he can only pretend that he treats everyone equally.
