Chapter 495 Xin Gong (Earth)
The official screening of "The Truman" will be on April 4. As usual, it will be performed in the "West Side (Takarazuka Theater)" and "East Side (Tokyo Takarazuka Theater)" until mid-June. The frequency of screenings will be determined based on popularity. If the response from the audience is good, it will probably be about two shows a week. If the response is not good, it may be one show a week.

In late June, "The Truman" will enter the "box performance (small theater performance)" stage. After another month or so, it will be completely offline. Of course, there is also the possibility of a remake, and "The Rose of Versailles" will be a remake. 6 times.

During the entire performance, there will be two performances for newbies, all of which will be played by students who are under the seventh year of graduate school. This is the "newcomer" that all the students miss. It is difficult for students who have not had the experience of being a "newcomer". To become a TOP, of course, it does not mean that you will become a TOP if you have played the leading role in "Xin Gong". There is also a slight possibility of failure, such as quitting the group midway.

In short, once "The Truman" is officially released, there will be two opportunities for "new publicity". Originally, according to the current ranking order of the Zhou Group, and the directors' comments on the students of the Zhou Group who are in the seventh grade and below, and the first-year students of the music school. The arrangements for the birth and who the scheduled candidates are can already be revealed.

A name has long been revealed to all concerned.

Akimichi Rin.

The 119th batch of students who are about to graduate.

Just after graduation, you will be a "first-year graduate student", and you will have the opportunity to be a "new public servant" as soon as you are a graduate student. Not only must your singing and dancing performance of "Three Beats" reach a very high level recognized by the directors, but you must also have a very strong backstage, Akimichi Rin There are always different opinions about who is behind her. Some say she is the daughter of a director, some say she is the eldest daughter of a chaebol, and even Akimichi Rin is not her real name. Unless she admits it, there is no way to find out.

In short, Akimichi Rin will definitely join the group as the leader, and then become the new boss immediately, paving the way to succeed Qi Nanye as the TOP.

But occasionally there will be noise or weeds on the paved road.

The news that preparatory student Maiko Hoshikawa got a role in "The Truman" spread like wildfire in the conservatory. This has never happened before. Although Maiko Hoshikawa is about to enter the second grade this year, she is still a preparatory student at the moment. It means "nothing is ready, and you have to accept the guidance of your seniors at any time and place." Can such a preparatory student participate in a performance?
That was a breakthrough in the Takarazuka education system. Although this opportunity had restrictions, it was only limited to the Takarazuka Grand Theater and only on holidays, so it would not affect normal classes, but it still made other students find it difficult to accept.

"Why do I have to wait until graduation to join the performance, but Maiko Hoshikawa can participate in the performance as a preparatory student?"

Akimichi Rin questioned into the phone.

Her voice was so sharp that Xiaochun, who was sleeping with her, couldn't even breathe. Xiaochun suspected that the person being questioned on the other end of the phone would be an important figure in the troupe, or even a director.

The person on the other side seemed to explain something, but Akimichi Rin snorted "So what about CH?", but her momentum weakened significantly. When she hung up the phone, she was still in a bad mood.

Koharu asked in a low voice: "Do you want to 'teach' Hoshikawa Maiko again?"

The word "discipline" was passed down from Takarazuka a long time ago. When the "one-to-one guidance" policy existed before, the discipline was aboveboard. The second-year students ruled the preparatory students like slaves, and the preparatory students had to do everything for their seniors. Cleaning the bathroom and other chores, of course, even in that period, a "young lady" with a life experience like Akimichi Rin would still be treated differently.

Now, the behavior of admonishment has changed from overt to covert, such as pouring water into the bedding, cutting off clothes, and mobilizing classmates to isolate someone. These small actions actually exist and are turned a blind eye by life administrators and teachers, because once they face it, it means Takarazuka The previous policy improvements were actually ineffective, and that would be another major blow to Takarazuka.

All the Takarazuka management just pretended as if nothing had happened, waiting for the snow to turn into an avalanche and drag Takarazuka into the abyss again. This is the nature of the Japanese.

"The training is not enough." Faced with Koharu's suggestion, Akimichi Rin said: "Hoshikawa Maiko must return to her rightful place. As seniors, we must teach her not to overstep!"

Isn't it an act of arrogance for you to be qualified as a "new public servant" as a first-year graduate student? Of course, Xiaoharu could only swallow her words in her stomach. …

It was only during a rehearsal that Maiko noticed that Akimichi Rin was also rehearsing "The Truman". Since Maiko was equivalent to being in Group A and Akimichi Rin was in Group B, there was no overlap in the actors in the two rehearsals. Watching Akimichi Rin take on the role of Nanaya It's impossible not to envy Fai for the same role.

After all, Maiko only has less than a week left.

The role she got now only has a few lines, which may be enough for the audience to remember her, but it is still not enough to "applaud".

Within this week, it was almost impossible for Maiko to get a leading role in Takarazuka.

Looking blankly at Akimichi Rin in the rehearsal room, Maiko stood there in a daze.

"Want to be the protagonist?" A voice sounded behind her.

Being poked in the heart, Maiko nodded slowly, and then she remembered to look back and see who it was, and when she turned around, she saw Qi Yehui.

Qi Yehui and Feng Guangdou have different types. Feng Guangdou is mature and handsome, while Qi Yehui is very youthful and casual and bright. The two once starred together in a certain musical and were called " Aristocratic brothers and sisters who embarked on a wandering road."

"This time the 'New Lord' was arranged very early. On the first Sunday after I finished playing the West Side Field, it was the earliest 'New Lord' in the past 10 years. This kind of care... ha, maybe it won't take 6 years. She will become Zhou Xin's new TOP." Qi Yehui's tone was full of jealousy.

"The first Saturday..." Maiko slowly calculated and said, "Isn't that six days later?"

Yes, the premiere of "The Truman" was scheduled for Saturday, and the "new premiere" would be held on Sunday. This arrangement was unexpectedly urgent, and it also made people question what Rin Akimichi's background was, but for Maiko , which means another possibility.

"When you graduate, join the Zhou Group!" Qi Yehui said, "With your talent, you may not lose to her and the capital behind her."

During this period of rehearsals, Akimichi Rin did see what genius is. Takarazuka never lacks geniuses, but super geniuses who combine the three talents of "dancing", "singing" and "acting" are still very rare. Qi Yehui is impressed by Maiko's natural beauty and believes that she will become TOP. There is no doubt that it will take at least five years.

If Maiko joins the Zhou group, she can check and balance Akimichi Rin who is about to join the group, slow down Akimichi Rin's rise to the top, and also protect Nanayoke's TOP.

Maiko asked in a low voice: "If I join the Zhou Group in the future, can I be allowed to play "The Truman"..."

"What are you thinking about in your little head?" Qi Yehui was annoyed, "You want to replace me now?"
