Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

There is no money in the world that comes out of nowhere.

Low-probability events such as windfalls and winning the lottery only exist in novels and TV.

Kita Sumire has always believed this.

So when he heard from Tamura Koji that he had earned more than 37 million yen in online income, he was a little surprised.

Is life so easy?

Is it really just giving yourself money while walking on the street?

What else should I do? Why not just start a live broadcast on the Internet? Wouldn't that make more money?

Kita Sumire was indeed surprised.

37.65 million yen.

This is the amount he couldn't earn after working hard for half a year.

But after the surprise, Kita Sumire didn't forget to analyze it in combination with his actual situation.

First of all, the amount of 37.65 million yen.

This amount is indeed large, but it only seems large.

You have to know that Kita Sumire applied to establish a private channel around October last year.

At that time, he had just exceeded 100,000 followers, which just met the conditions for establishing a private channel.

In other words.

The 37.65 million yen was actually accumulated gradually from that time until April this year.

A total of six months.

It is actually about 6.2 million yen per month.

This income is indeed much better than other sub-services.

But it is not so exaggerated.

But even so -

"It's already very impressive, Kitasumi-kun."

Tamura Koji on the other end of the phone scanned the various data and sighed: "Kitasumi-kun, you have two private channels in total, right? Open the background, enter the password, and see the number of followers of the two private channels."

Following Tamura Koji's instructions.

Kitasumi Minoru opened the background of his personal homepage.

What jumped into his eyes was the first private channel he created, 'Shi-chan's Good Friend'.

The channel 'Shi-chan's Good Friend' requires a monthly membership fee of 500 yen, and now has about 11,000 followers.

"Only 11,000 followers?"

Seeing this number, Kitasumi raised his eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by only 11,000 followers?"

Listening to Kitasumi's words, Tamura Koji twitched his mouth: "Kitasumi, you don't think 11,000 followers are too few, do you?"

"What else?"

Kitasumi asked back.

His total number of followers has now exceeded 300,000.

He can be regarded as a top-notch sub-actor in the industry who can stand on his own.

It's normal for him to think that there are only 11,000 followers.

"Kitasumi, you can check out the private channels of other sub-actors, such as Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi, who have a good relationship with you."

"Hmm?"

Kitasumi didn't hesitate and turned to open the homepage of Akiyama Shion and others.

Akiyama Shion's private channel, 'Miss Akiyama's Private Space', has only more than 4,100 followers.

You should know that her number of followers has reached 610,000 after the growth from last year to now.

Even so, there are only 4,100 followers.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi's ratio is a little better than Akiyama Shion's, with a total of 430,000 followers.

The private channel has only 3,400 followers.

"Now, Kitasumi-kun, do you understand? How active are your followers?"

Tamura Koji was full of sighs when he said this.

Generally speaking.

For a shoujo like Kitasumi Minoru with 300,000 followers, it is already quite good to have one or two thousand people willing to pay to enter his paid private channel.

What he didn't expect was.

There are only 300,000 followers.

There are so many people willing to pay for Kitasumi Minoru.

This terrifying ratio is second to none even in the entire shoujo industry.

And the private channel "Minoru's Psychological Counseling" set up by Kitasumi Minoru, even though the membership fee is as high as 1,500 yen, still has more than 900 followers.

This is incredible.

The key is what Kitasumi Minoru did?

It's nothing more than asking them for money every month.

From time to time, he would look disgusted and post one or two dynamics saying "big brother and big sister are so disgusting".

His attitude towards followers is so bad.

But Kita Sumire's followers are the most active.

It is an activity level that other actors can't catch up with.

This is indeed a bit exaggerated.

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with this activity level.

Kita Sumire's personal account is operated by himself.

Tamura Koji rarely interrupts and interferes with others.

This also leads to Kita Sumire's personal homepage being clean now.

Like Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi's personal homepage.

From time to time, the agency pushes advertising dynamics of other actors in the agency.

In addition, Kita Sumire also replies to dynamics, private messages, and psychological treatment for followers from time to time - paying 1,500 yen can get a video of his healing smile.

This high-intensity personal operation, coupled with Kita Sumire's pure and flawless look when he smiles, and his magical charm when he "cries".

The other servants are already very tired from work and life, and they can't achieve the same level as Bei Chengshi at all.

Therefore, it is natural that Kita Sumire's followers are so active.

Thinking of this, Tamura Koji did not continue, but exchanged a few words with Kita Sumire, saying that the remittance of more than 37 million yen would be sent to Kita Sumire's account in the company in the near future, and then hung up the phone directly.

"37.65 million yen"

Kita Sumire stretched.

To be honest, he thought he would have to take two or three advertisements to get such a huge fortune.

The result was unexpected.

He did not take the advertisement.

Instead, it was the "friends" on the Internet who gave him a surprise-they were really good friends.

The monthly friend fee alone can bring him such a huge income.

Kita Sumire silently thanked them for their selfless dedication in his heart, and at the same time made up his mind to give them more rewards on the Internet in the future.

It's just that they always curse and look at people with disdain. Although they are not tired of it, Kita Sumire is also a little tired of it. It's time to change some tricks.

But how to do it specifically, Kita Sumire has not thought of it yet.

You can't let him learn to sell original stuff like some female anchors in his previous life, right?

To put it bluntly, will anyone really want that stuff after it's sold, eh?

Perhaps thinking of Kitasumi Youbo, Kitasumi shook his head.

In short, if nothing else, at least Kitasumi himself is a little physically uncomfortable.

Throw all the miscellaneous things out of your head.

Kitasumi knocked on the table.

Although the 37 million yen came much earlier than expected, thanks to this, he can implement his next plan.

That is - skipping grades and transferring schools.

After all, studying in elementary school is nothing but a waste of time.

Except for Kitagawa Ruiko, Kitasumi, as a mature adult, faces a bunch of little boys and girls with runny noses every day.

Over a long period of time, anyone would want to skip grades early.

The reason why I haven't mentioned skipping grades and transferring schools.

It's because Kitasumi has been too poor.

The film remuneration accumulated till this year is only about 9 million yen.

This little money has to be spent on skipping grades, transferring schools, etc.

Not to mention Kitasumi's idea of ​​buying real estate.

That's right, buying real estate.

Kitasumi is not dissatisfied with the environment in Nerima District where he and Kitasumi Ariha live now.

It's that the Tokyo Metropolitan Seibun High School, to which Kitasumi Ariha voluntarily transferred, is located in Bunkyo District.

He and Kitasumi Ariha live in Sawawa 2-chome in Nerima District, which is 26 kilometers away from Seibun High School.

Even if you take the train every day, you need to get up a lot earlier.

Not to mention Kitasumi's nine-year-old body.

Apart from anything else, just taking the train is a hassle.

In addition, the environment here in Sawawa 2-chome is really average.

It can't be compared with the living environment in the core area of ​​Tokyo.

So Kitasumi naturally had the idea of ​​buying real estate.

After all, working so hard to make money, to put it bluntly, is for enjoyment.

Kitasumi is not one of those old people who would endure hardships even if there is no hardship.

It’s just that buying a house, skipping grades, and transferring schools are not trivial matters.

In addition, "Kengouden" will be broadcast soon.

There are many miscellaneous things to deal with.

Kitasumi suppressed his thoughts.

He planned to discuss with Kitasumi Youbo after he was done with this period of work.

That’s it.

The days passed by one by one as time went by.

And the advertising promotion of "Kengouden" became more and more intense day by day.

Let’s not talk about anything else.

For example, the Tokyo subway station and the Akihabara crossroads are basically all promotional posters of "Kengouden" -

The white wind and snow are the main theme, covering the city of Kyoto.

Kitasumi’s profile and the young profile of another actor, Narita Takayuki, are barely pieced together into one face.

Narita Takayuki is the actor who played the role of young Kenichi Aoki in the first three "Kengouden" adaptations.

The use of his profile here is because the crew wants to express the theme of "rejuvenation".

At the bottom of the poster is the large special effects font of "Jeng Hao Den: The Curious Case of the Returning Child".

The Internet is basically full of promotional PVs and various discussions about "Jeng Hao Den".

The advertising is so strong.

Even Kita Chengshi was a little surprised.

Is this the promotion of commercial films?

It is completely different from his previous works "The Grudge" and "The Kidnapped Natsuko".

"The Grudge" and "The Kidnapped Natsuko" were at most promoted in places like train stations.

And it was a small promotion, which didn't cost much.

Unlike "Jeng Hao Den".

It's like I didn't pay attention to it for just one night, and when I went out the next day, I was flooded with promotions about "Jeng Hao Den".

But the effect of the promotion seems to be a bit bad.

Kita Chengshi opened a magazine at random and glanced at one of them. Basically, it was not optimistic about "The Curious Case of the Returning Child".

The reason is very simple - "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is too difficult to adapt.

Let alone other things, the casting of the role of Kenichi Aoki after his rejuvenation can be said to be extremely difficult.

The actor may not be able to perform the flavor of the comics at all.

And among these generally pessimistic voices.

There is an article that attracted Kita Sumimi's attention.

【To be honest, like you, I am not optimistic about the adaptation of "Kengouden: The Curious Case of Bengal". I even thought that Kadokawa Pictures would directly abandon the adaptation of "The Curious Case of Bengal" and directly adapt the next chapter of "Kengouden". As a result, it was unexpected that "The Curious Case of Bengal" actually came. 】

【The reason why I am not optimistic about the adaptation of "The Curious Case of Bengal" is actually very simple, that is, in this chapter, the role of Kenichi Aoki is too difficult to grasp. 】

【As we all know, Kenichi Aoki is the image of a young swordsman. After the cursive, he becomes a child of eight or nine years old. This requires the actor to grasp the image of Kenichi Aoki's decisive and unruly killing, and at the same time, he must take into account the grasp of childishness and maturity. Because Kenichi Aoki has just become a child, it does not mean that he is a child inside. He is still mature in spirit. 】

【In other words, the role of Kenichi Aoki is a young swordsman with a child's appearance. It can only be said that it is particularly difficult to interpret this feeling. 】

【It is worth mentioning that Kita Sumire plays the role of Kenichi Aoki. He previously performed very well in the horror movie "The Grudge" and the stage play of "Tokyo Curse Swordsman". If he can continue his performance at that time, I think "Kengouden" will most likely be the box office dark horse in this May movie season. 】

I have to say.

The position of this article can be said to be quite fair.

Unlike the author of other articles.

He didn't care about anything and just sang badly about "Kengouden", but made a reasonable and well-founded analysis.

He even expressed his expectations for Kita Sumire at the end of the article.

Kita Sumire was a little surprised.

He didn't remember that he had hired such a "water army".

He opened the main page of this article with some curiosity.

Wow——

Isn't this an acquaintance?

The main writer is called Ishikawa Bunta.

He is the main writer who criticized Kitayama Rie as a ratings poison on "Night Walk" before.

Afterwards, the ratings of the twelfth episode of "Night Walk" skyrocketed, and it was this Ishikawa Bunta who was criticized the most.

I didn't expect it.

The former hater actually stood up to speak for him.

Did he go through some unspeakable mental journey?

Kita Sumire was a little surprised.

But when everyone is generally pessimistic, you'd better stand up and say something bad.

Otherwise, it's called "not understanding the air" in Japan.

Just like this article by Ishikawa Bunta.

It was only three hours after it was published, and it has received more than 3,000 "dislikes".

There was even more criticism below, thinking that he, a TV station magazine editor, didn't know anything about comic adaptation.

This also made Kita Sumire's expression a little strange.

Is this Ishikawa Bunta a nitpicking and masochistic personality?

He was criticized for posting bad reviews on "Night Walk".

"Kengouden" has so many criticisms, but he has to praise it a few times, and then continue to be criticized.

This is indeed a bit masochistic.

But no matter what.

In this kind of criticism and half-praise voice,

The release date of "Kengouden" has finally arrived.
