Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 35 Promise

It is the tail end of mid-June.

"The Grudge" is already in the final finishing work.

The last shot has been re-shot.

With a sound of "click - the last one is passed."

The shooting of the entire "The Grudge" has ended here.

The actors all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and began to exchange polite words with each other, "You have worked hard" and "No, no, you have worked hard."

The Japanese seem to like this kind of social etiquette of pushing and shoving. There must be more than a dozen similar words on an email.

As a person who likes to be straightforward.

Shimizu-san actually hates the long-standing Japanese culture of pushing and shoving, which is like playing football.

But today is an exception.

The overall shooting of "The Grudge" has been successfully completed.

He, who is not very good-tempered on the set, has a smile on his face today.

Even when he saw Kita Sumi lying comfortably on the children's folding recliner.

He wanted to go over and bite the other person.

After all, in this shooting of "The Grudge".

Kita Sumire is the actor who gave him the biggest surprise - no one else.

After all, from the beginning, Shimizu-san did not have high expectations for Kita Sumire.

Even if he was chosen to play Kuroda Uchiichi, it was only because of his temperament, appearance, and the right price - it had nothing to do with his relationship with Kita Sumire, he simply thought that his acting skills were only average among the actors.

After all, it only cost 750,000 yen to let Kita Sumire come to act for more than two months - this price is as cheap as giving it away for free compared to other actors in the industry.

That's all.

But when he carefully watched Kita Sumire's actual performance.

He was a little unsure - is there really a genius in this world?

He is indeed a genius.

From the beginning, his acting was a little immature, which made people reminisce.

Then after he got into the state in the middle and late stages of filming, his acting skills were full of layers and appeal.

It really made him feel bright. No, it was a feeling of light in front of his eyes.

Especially that kind of micro-expression.

Kita Sumimi's eyes are intimidating, oppressive, and terrifying. Even if Shimizuyama looks at her through the camera, she looks like a "murderer".

This often gives Shimizuyama an illusion.

Could it be that Precocious is a murderer who escaped from somewhere?

Can someone who has never killed a few people really act out this look?

Of course, this is just a random thought that popped up in his mind.

Shimizuyama certainly doesn't think that an eight-year-old Precocious has the ability to commit a crime.

Similarly, another actor who surprised Shimizuyama is Chiori Hosokawa.

Originally, he was a little worried that Chiori Hosokawa, who has been playing the leading role in literary and artistic love films for a long time, would not be able to change roles when challenging a new horror field.

What Shimizuyama didn't expect was that she not only changed roles, but also expressed the feeling of the "victim" to the fullest.

Sometimes he even felt that she acted a little too much and wanted her to hold back.

However, considering that Chiori Hosokawa originally came from stage plays, it was normal for her movements and expressions to be exaggerated.

Qingshuishan did not interfere with the other party's performance too much.

After all, to put it bluntly, Kita Sumire was the one who performed the best.

When he thought of this outstanding performance.

Qingshuishan was a little speechless again.

Generally speaking, the improvement of actors and their outstanding performances are things that he, as a director, should be sincerely happy about.

But this time he was a little unhappy.

Kita Sumire's performance was really too outstanding.

The acting in the later stage of filming and the acting in the early stage of filming were like two different people.

The gap was really too big.

Being backstabbed was a bit too severe.

There were several shots that had been passed. Qingshuishan was not satisfied with Kita Sumire's acting after watching the latter part. In the end, he tightened his belt and increased the working time, and then re-filmed it.

Thinking of this.

Qingshuishan let out a sigh of regret for some reason.

If he could continue with this performance.

It is absolutely certain that Kita Sumire will become popular, it is just a matter of time.

And once the other party becomes popular.

He will definitely not be an actor that he can afford in the future.

You have to know.

In Japan, the value of a kotobuki actor is absolutely terrifying, just like diving, which makes the heart of a 27-year-old man who is already in middle-aged anxiety twitch.

The few talented kotobuki actors who are the top kotobuki actors basically have an annual salary of 100 million yen or more.

Even if we don’t count the top, just look at the first-rate and second-rate ones, the annual salary is at least 10 million or 20 million yen.

There are also various requirements.

These young kotobuki actors either play the protagonist or the main supporting role in a play, and they don’t play those with few lines.

There are so many requirements, enough to make others’ heads ache.

It is normal to be emotionally unstable, cry, and make a fuss on the set after paying the money - this is also an important reason why parents must accompany the kotobuki industry sometimes.

After all, no matter how much money they make or how much professional training they receive, kotobuki actors are still children, and this cannot be changed.

An outlier like Kitasumi is definitely the first one in Qingshuishan's eyes.

So he will definitely become famous.

Qingshuishan also hopes that he can become famous.

Because I don't know when.

Bei Chengshi didn't use social skills, but purely acting skills, which made him admire him.

Although there may be fewer opportunities for cooperation in the future.

But as a mentor and a close friend, Qingshuishan still hopes that Bei Chengshi can become famous.

Thinking of this.

Qingshuishan raised his hand and waved to Bei Chengshi who was reading a book on the other side.

"What's wrong? Uncle Qingshui?"

Putting away the book, he walked over curiously.

"Precocious boy, you will be very popular."

Qingshuishan exhaled and spoke in a tone of praise and appreciation.

This is the first time he took the initiative and praised Bei Chengshi from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at Bei Chengshi with eager eyes, wanting to see what the reaction of this precocious boy would be.

Then——

Bei Chengshi was stunned at first after hearing this sentence, and seemed to be moved.

"Uncle."

Then——

"Why did Uncle Shimizu suddenly say such a matter of course? Isn't it normal for me to become famous?"

Kitasumi frowned, as if he didn't quite understand.

"Uh, cough, cough, cough!!!"

Shimizu-san started coughing violently.

He had nothing to say.

This brat, he's still like this.

His confidence is almost to the point of narcissism.

Can't he be a little more modest? !

Although this kind of confidence is also very good for an actor.

Shimizu-san smiled helplessly and nodded.

"Okay, okay, you will definitely be a top-tier actor in the industry in the future, but it's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"Yes."

As a person who likes to smoke, Shimizu-san instinctively reached out to touch the cigarette while answering.

But considering that Kitasumi was right next to him, the hand he stretched out turned around and came back, sighing:

"What a pity, precocious, if you become famous, the opportunities for us to work together in the future will become much less."

Yes.

Although he is also a well-known horror film director in the industry.

But horror movies are low-budget movies.

If Kita Sumire becomes famous in the future, the chances of cooperation will naturally decrease.

He said this.

He originally thought he would hear Kita Sumire's teasing words.

But he waited for a long time, and Kita Sumire's voice did not come.

He turned his head in surprise.

Just then he saw the other party standing next to him, staring at his pure eyes without blinking.

Seeing him looking over.

Kita Sumire laughed.

His laugh was very clean and pure.

There was a healing feeling of seed service.

"Really, Uncle Shimizu, don't make such jokes. In your future movies, as long as you can use me, just call me, I will participate even if you pay me."

Hmm?

Hearing this, Shimizu was stunned for a moment and looked at Kita Sumire again.

The former mentor, the later stranger.

This is not a rare thing in this industry dominated by interests and fame.

And verbal promises like this are the least valuable in the Japanese industry.

But it is this kind of verbal promise that has no legal effect and is said casually like a joke.

Qingshuishan did not hear any joke in it.

It seems that everything Kita Sumire said is true.

What a wonderful kid.

Qingshuishan also laughed and reached out to touch Kita Sumire's head fiercely - he wanted to do this a long time ago.

"Don't always think about teasing adults. You little bastard, the next one is the play of that guy Honma, right? You have to work hard."

Yes.
