Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 168: Takeo Mikawa who wants to have fun (4100 words)

Among the filming locations of "Little Canteen".

After burning the "Yunzhong Juejian Ji", Beicheng Minoru stayed in the dressing room.

Next to him was a makeup artist who was applying makeup to him.

Due to the cooking, the manager of "Little Canteen" has a darker skin.

Kitazumi's skin is too white.

The color needs to be slightly suppressed, and depending on the situation of the shot, you may need to add a filter later.

With the help of two makeup artists.

Kitami Minori's drama makeup quickly took shape.

Then put on a navy blue chef uniform similar to that of an izakaya, and tie a clean scarf around your head.

The whole image of Kitaki Minoru came out.

have to say.

Makeup is indeed one of the four evil arts in Asia.

Kitazumi's originally handsome and cute appearance changed at this moment.

The facial features as a whole appear sharp and angular, and under the illumination of the light, they show a deep and cold feeling.

The face is obviously still the same.

But it’s just through fine-tuning the skin color, eye corners, and eyebrow shape.

The whole person looks completely different.

In this regard, Kawamura Yuefumi nodded with great satisfaction.

Sure enough, the Japanese drama "Little Cafeteria" seems to be specially designed for Kitazumi Minoru.

After putting on makeup, he perfectly meets the requirements for the main role in "Little Canteen".

It's not a question of 'resemblance or not'.

But Minoru Kitazumi is simply the boss in "Little Cafeteria".

He sighed a little, but also didn't forget to go up and ask with concern.

"Kitasumi-kun, what do you think? Are you nervous? The person you will play next is Takeo Mikawa, is that okay?"

"no problem."

"Yeah?"

Kawamura Yuefumi couldn't help but look at Kitumi Minori more.

When the other party said 'no problem', his face was full of confidence, and there was no trace of unease at all.

This Kitaki Minoru has such a strong psychological quality.

If only the ordinary subservient knew that the person he was playing next to was actually Takeo Mikawa.

You might be particularly afraid that the other person will outshine you in acting or in front of the camera - this is something that happens quite often in the industry.

Some actors are out of shape because they can't match the other's acting skills. They can't even express their lines well, let alone express emotions.

Not to mention that the person opposite this time is the legendary actor Takeo Mikawa.

Not to mention a submissive like Kitazumi Minoru.

Most adult actors would probably be disturbed.

But the child in front of me had no such idea at all.

Kawamura Yuefumi sighed a little.

It is worthy of being highly recommended by Kiyomizuyama, Honma Hihiko, and Shiraishi Jun.

It’s really useful!

He sighed in his heart.

He also encouraged Kitaki Minoru appropriately.

Then he spoke.

"By the way, Mr. Mikawa is here. Beicheng-kun, please follow me to see him."

Although "Little Cafeteria" is just a late-night movie with a small investment and small production, Kawamura Takefumi still wants to work hard to make it well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent a lot of money to invite Takeo Mikawa over.

By this time Takeo Mikawa had also arrived at the filming location.

He is also the main actor in the Japanese drama "Little Cafeteria".

It's better to meet in advance and get a feel for each other.

"Um."

Naturally, Beicheng Minoru did not refuse.

After all, for this legendary Japanese actor.

Kitaki Minoru was also a little curious and wanted to say hello to the other party.

It's just that during the power-on ceremony just now, Kitumi didn't see each other at all.

Of course, this is understandable.

After all, Takeo Mikawa is 74 years old.

It seems a little inappropriate no matter how you think about it, a lot of people are braving the cold wind and waiting for their filming crew to burn their dolls.

At this moment, I heard Kawamura Yuefumi take the initiative to mention it.

Of course Kitumi did not hesitate and nodded directly in agreement.

Kawamura Yuewen also has no ink marks.

After all, every minute and second on set is precious.

He directly took Kitumi Minoru to the resting shed set up by the filming team at the back.

And there.

Kitami Minoru finally met Takeo Mikawa, who is known as the legendary Japanese actor.

It was a bearded old man with white hair and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

At first glance, Takeo Mikawa's current image is somewhat similar to Hayao Miyazaki in his previous life.

But if you look closely at the past.

From the outline of the other party's aged face, one can vaguely see the strong facial features of his youth.

At this time, the other party was holding a cane and sitting in the rest shed.

Beside him is the assistant responsible for accompanying him.

Even if he is already considered an advanced age.

The palm holding the cane did not relax at all, showing a strong feeling.

"As expected, he is a well-known actor in the industry, and he even has an assistant."

Looking at the male assistant next to Takeo Mikawa.

Kitaki couldn't help but sigh, and followed Kawamura Takefumi's footsteps and walked towards the other party.

As the assistant of Takeo Mikawa.

Nagayama Sohei has actually always been very opposed to Takeo Mikawa's continued acting.

Because the old man's body obviously can no longer support high-intensity shooting.

There was even a record of him passing out while filming last year.

That was the real big deal.

It made them all anxious.

Fortunately, Takeo Mikawa, who was sent to the hospital, soon woke up on his own.

That’s why it didn’t turn from ‘shooting’ to ‘shooting accident’.

Among them, the doctor also clearly told Changshan Shuping's assistant.

Takeo Mikawa's body can no longer carry out high-intensity filming.

Compared to the filming of TV series and movies.

What this 74-year-old man actually needs now is to rest his body.

And when I think about it, Takeo Mikawa just came to the shooting location, took a few steps and was slightly out of breath.

Nagayama Shuhei beside him was a little unable to sit still.

"Mr. Mikawa, why don't we forget about it this time? It doesn't matter if we hire someone else to shoot "Little Canteen", right? It's just a late-night TV series anyway."

Yes.

Compare it to the name "Mikawa Takeo".

"Little Cafeteria" is just a dispensable late-night TV series anyway.

There is absolutely no need for the other party to spend so much energy filming a late-night TV series.

However, what he said here was just finished.

Over there, Takeo Mikawa looked over.

"Nagayama-kun, are you kidding me? Even if you didn't let me come over at the previous power-on ceremony, you are now trying to persuade me to go back? Could it be that you want to ruin my reputation as Takeo Mikawa?"

Takeo Mikawa's eyebrows wrinkled.

It is true that "Little Canteen" is not particularly outstanding among all the works he shot.

But as an actor, now that I have accepted the filming contract.

Then he deserves to do his best.

Even if you are not feeling well, you still have to show your best self in front of the camera.

This is the quality of his profession as an 'actor'.

".I understand, Mr. Mikawa."

Sensing that Mikawa Takeo seemed a little angry, he sighed slightly, but Nagayama Shuhei did not continue to persuade him.

He has been Mikawa Takeo's assistant for so long.

Of course he knew what "acting" meant to the old man in front of him.

Pay?

Reputation?

Main character?

These illusory things are actually nothing to Takeo Mikawa, who is 74 years old this year.

Takeo Mikawa just wanted to act.

That's all.

but--

"Mr. Mikawa, do you really think that a servant can make you happy?"

Nagayama Sohei raised his own question.

he knows.

Takeo Mikawa just wants to continue acting while he is still young.

At least in the last years of his life.

To the point where he can feel 'enjoyed'.

But it would be too difficult to let him have all the fun.

It can be said that there are very few actors in the industry who can compete with Takeo Mikawa in terms of acting skills.

Those actors of the same era are either dead or mostly in semi-retirement.

Few people can allow Takeo Mikawa to fully demonstrate his acting skills.

And he has read the script of "Little Canteen".

This Japanese drama is a unit drama based on the contrasting selling point of 'child service' and the heartwarming stories between diners.

From the audience's perspective.

It's really nice to use Ziyu to create a contrast.

But from the perspective of Assistant Takeo Mikawa.

The ‘Ziyong’ whose selling points are cuteness and cuteness are far behind.

Especially in terms of acting.

Don't talk about Ziyi.

Even among adult actors, it can be said that there are very few who can take on Takeo Mikawa's role.

Even if you want to show your acting skills, you should find an opponent who fits Takeo Mikawa's identity.

A subservient wants to catch Takeo Mikawa's play?

Although he is old, Takeo Mikawa is not that depressed yet!

Probably feeling the mood of Sohei Nagayama.

Takeo Mikawa shook his head, showing a bit of self-deprecation.

"Changshan-kun, after what happened last year, do you think any other filming crew would be willing to invite a bad old man like me?"

After what happened last year when I passed out.

Almost all the filming crews did not send him any further invitations for filming.

It's not because Takeo Mikawa's salary for his appearance is too high.

It was because he was worried that something might happen to him during the filming process because of his advanced age.

This is normal.

If Takeo Mikawa really had an accident on the set, who would be responsible?

Let’s talk about it on a smaller scale.

The entire filming crew apologized.

Talk about it more seriously.

Maybe the filming projects that were originally prepared will be scolded by angry audiences.

The risk is too great.

As a result, after Takeo Mikawa's accident, no filming crew invited him to film for a whole year.

I was afraid that something would happen to him at the filming location.

Time can take away everything.

It can also put national-level actors who were previously competed by many filming crews into the dilemma of having nothing to film.

This is really sad.

If this situation continues.

This "Little Canteen" will most likely be his last work.

so.

He just wanted to quietly finish filming what might be his last film.

Can be in this last drama.

It's a good thing to meet an actor who can make him enjoy himself.

But even if we don’t meet him, there’s nothing to be disappointed about.

At most he would have some regrets.

"." Nagayama Shuhei stopped talking.

He just stood quietly next to Takeo Mikawa.

I want to accompany each other through this last phase of his journey in the industry.

No matter what the final result is.

Then--

"Mr. Mikawa, how do you feel? Have you rested well? I brought Kitasumi, who is in charge of the main role this time, here, so that you can at least meet before filming."

The voice of Kawamura Takefumi sounded.

Mikawa Takeo and Nagayama Sohei raised their eyes together and looked at the child actor next to each other who had already put on makeup.

That was a child actor with a handsome face.

After makeup.

The facial features that originally looked childish revealed an indescribable sense of coldness.

This look is really good.

Mikawa Takeo and Nagayama Sohei nodded secretly.

Let alone.

Even if the acting is average.

With this look.

Kitasumi's photogenic effect will not be too bad.

But.

After all, he is just a child.

Although he had comforted himself before.

But Mikawa Takeo still felt a little regretful at this moment.

This may be the last play he filmed.

He really still hopes that a junior with better acting skills can "send him off".

But there is no point in thinking so much.

Takeo Mikawa walked over, bent down, and touched the child's head.

"Little Kitasumi, don't be nervous when you act with grandpa later. Remember, you must show your best acting skills."

If it was a general child actor in the industry.

Being so close to Takeo Mikawa.

The first reaction would either be to show a cute and obedient expression, saying that he would definitely do his best, or to be terrified and stutter.

However——

"Don't worry, Grandpa Mikawa. I won't be nervous. There is definitely no problem with my acting skills. Similarly, I hope Grandpa Mikawa will also show his best acting skills."

The child called Kitasumi was neither obedient nor cute, but spoke like this.

That look was actually worried that Takeo Mikawa would not be able to perform at his best.

When these words were spoken.

Because he was too confident.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Among them, Kawamura Takefumi's forehead was sweating all of a sudden.

My 'proud general'!

I know you are one of the most confident among the child actors.

But the person in front of him is Takeo Mikawa!

Even if you are pretending, you should be more modest, right? !

His mouth twitched.

He didn't know what to say for a while.

And Nagayama Sohei next to him just reacted and frowned.

He was about to speak, but was stopped by Mikawa Takeo next to him.

"Mr. Mikawa?"

Nagayama Sohei looked at Mikawa Takeo with a little confusion.

"The child actor is also an actor. As an actor, the most important thing is confidence."

Mikawa Takeo was not angry, but smiled.

Yes.

The most important thing for an actor is confidence.

Kita Sumire in front of him may not have mature acting skills.

But at least he has the qualifications to be a first-class actor.

To be in this last scene.

To meet such an interesting and special "junior".

Mikawa Takeo thinks it's actually pretty good.

So they chatted with each other for a few words.

Mikawa Takeo also felt that his state had been adjusted to the best.

So he nodded to Kawamura Takefumi who had prepared everything——

"The first episode of "Little Canteen" the first scene! Start shooting!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the board.

Mikawa Takeo took a deep breath and took the first step forward.

It was the last time to shoot.

Although the stage was too small and the opponent was a child actor, he could not show his acting skills to the fullest.

But this was enough.

Thinking like this.

Mikawa Takeo raised his hand and opened the door of the restaurant set up by the props team.

Then

Looking at everything in front of him, he was a little stunned.

Shower!
