Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 6 Job Recommendations
  Opening the door, TBS producer Koichi Takano took Bunta Takakura and said with a smile:

"Muraishi-kun, let me recommend you a leather actor."

…………

After learning from Futaki that there was a vacancy for a holster actor on the crew, Bunta Takakura planned to give it a try.

If it were another crew member, Bunta Takakura, a labor dispatch worker, would have no chance at all if he tried to play the role of a Kirialoid, and he would only be humiliating himself.

The dispatch worker wants to join the crew.

The promotion trajectory is usually handyman, field service, temporary guest actor, permanent actor, marginal supporting role, supporting role... and finally the important single-episode supporting role BOSS like Kirialoid.

This time, Bunta Takakura saw the serious loss of leather actors in the crew and the shortage of manpower.

He wants to seize the opportunity, take the lead among all the troops, jump six levels in a row, and turn into a positive person in one wave.

…………

If Bunta Takakura wants to play the role of a Kiri Eloid, he must obtain the approval of TBS producer Koichi Takano and general supervisor (chief director) Hiromi Muraishi.

Takakura Bunta is not even considered a regular member of the crew, and has no chance to talk to these two big guys.

Therefore, Bunta Takakura found the Charity Welfare Institute, the first VIP charity donor to raise funds for himself, Mrs. Takemoto.

....................................

Takemoto was Bunta Takakura's first private charitable donor.

Takemoto’s husband is the executive director of the management committee.

…………

The Management Committee is an organization that reviews all publicly screened TV series, movies, and media.

All film and television dramas must be reviewed and graded by this agency before being released. It is the authoritative organization for film and television censorship in Tokyo.

The biggest difference between the two is that this agency is not a government legal person, but a public welfare legal person organization.

This special organizational positioning is because the Management Committee was born during the management period of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Japan.

The first chairman of the committee was the cultural advisor with the rank of minister of the U.S. Embassy in Japan.

…………

Based on the chat with Takemoto, I learned that his husband is a harsh and twisted workaholic.

He works until two or three in the morning every day, and the passing rate of the works assigned to him is only 1%.

She had complained to Takakura Bunta when she drank too much.

The two have been married for six years and have no children.

....................................

The hosting of the Sapporo Winter Olympics in 1972 can be said to be one of the symbols of RB's rapid economic development, and the gap between rich and poor in society has widened.

Thus, the first social security welfare home was born."

…………

Since then, as the RB economy has achieved rapid development, ordinary housewives have more money in their hands.

Against this background, there are more and more volunteer charity welfare homes in Shinjuku...

Both the RB family and society have considerable tolerance for this.

…………

Competition in the entire charity and welfare home industry is also very fierce.

In Shinjuku, Tokyo alone, there are more than 2000 charitable welfare homes of various names.

The performance source of charity welfare homes is mainly volunteers.

…………

During the three charity fundraisers, Bunta Takakura was very aware of current affairs and reciprocated the kindness.     …………………………………………

After Mrs. Takemoto received a call from Takakura Bunta, she was willing to give her some career help.

She mentioned this matter to a certain TBS high-level best friend at a tea party for ladies in the port area.

As a result, Takakura Bunta was recommended by TBS producer Koichi Takano of "Ultraman Tega".

…………

This is the producer of phenomenal Japanese dramas such as "Escape" (Escape is shameful but useful) and "Servant Wife" (My Horrible Wife).

Now he has just been promoted from TBS assistant producer to a regular member, and his voice within the crew is limited.

Moreover, when TBS TV station forcibly designated artists from Johnny & Associates to play the main role in "Ultraman Tega", the relationship between the two parties was a bit awkward.

As a producer, Koichi Takano needs to avoid further deterioration in the relationship between the two companies in order to promote the project smoothly.

Therefore, Takakura Bunta's matter cannot be forced upon, and requires the consent of Tsuburaya Co., Ltd.'s general supervisor Hiromi Muraishi.

....................................

Takano Koichi and Muraishi Hiromi chatted for a few words, then stood aside and flipped through "Weekly Bunshun" while Muraishi Hiromi and Takakura Bunta were interviewed one-on-one.

"You want to play a Kiri Elod?"

Muraishi Hiromi frowned, his sharp eyes constantly looking at Takakura Bunta who was standing in the middle of the office, and asked in a deep voice.

Hiromi Muraishi is a senior director of Tsuburaya Co., Ltd. and the general supervisor of "Ultraman Tiga".

…………

When Ultraman Showa planned and filmed "Ultraman Taro", he was still a new director.

After twenty-three years of hard work on the tokusatsu drama set, this former Tsuburaya newcomer has become the general supervisor (chief director) leading a team of nine on-site directors.

His majesty and momentum stem from his many years of experience as a director and his deep understanding and persistent love for Tsuburaya's fantasy tokusatsu dramas.

…………

"Yes, please give me this chance!"

Takakura Bunta was not affected at all and bowed and said loudly.

With a burly and fierce figure, he has the aura of the strongest creature in the sea, land and air, and he releases powerful pressure to the surroundings with himself as the center.

"Very good! Very spirited!"

General Supervisor Hiromi Muraishi felt that he was being mobilized by Takakura Bunta's own aura, his heartbeat was inexplicably accelerated, his whole body was boiling, and he couldn't help but praise.

…………

Hiromi Muraishi's first impression of this labor service company dispatch worker was very good. After looking at it carefully, he felt even more satisfied.

He has a very strong body, and his muscles all over his body feel like they contain explosive power. He has a tall and powerful appearance as a hot-blooded man, and he belongs to the same type of tough guy as Ken Takakura.

It's just that compared to Takakura Ken's cold, resolute, silent, taciturn, and lonely feeling of living aloof like Mount Fuji.

This Takakura Bunta has a violent and violent temperament, as hot as the active volcano Kilauea in Hawaii, and will erupt at any time to destroy the world.

…………

Such a figure and temperament made Muraishi Hiromi know that Takakura Bunta was indeed confident in recommending himself.

"You first go to the dressing room to try on the makeup, and then go to the prop manager to get the spaceman leather case." Hiromi Muraishi said.

Bunta Takakura closed the door and left. The senior director of Tsuburaya Co., Ltd. asked the producer Koichi Takano next to him in confusion:
  "With Bunta Takakura's physical condition, why didn't he sign with an artist agency and instead worked as a dispatch worker in a labor service company?"

Takano Hiroshi handed the "Weekly Bunshun" magazine to Muraishi Hiromi and said:
  "Takakura Bunta's physical condition..."

Hiromi Muraishi looked at the contents of the new issue of "Weekly Bunshun" and understood immediately.
