Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 583 590, When you meet the right person, one glance is enough~

“Hahaha, Naoki-san, well done!” Shuichi Itou happily praised Naoki Nagayama, “Not only did he say it himself, but he also persuaded Miss Akina Nakamori to help promote it. It really kills two birds with one stone!”

"I don't have it, I don't. Don't talk nonsense!" Naoki Nagayama clicked three times in one click, but at this time, it was too late to say anything!

　　After the Japan Film Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony, the look in Akina’s manager Akiko Fubo’s look at him said it all. It was the look in the eyes of a scumbag who takes advantage of innocent girls to make profits.

Hey. For an idol of Akina Nakamori’s caliber, one advertisement would probably cost several million yen!

Itou Shuichi was sitting in the back seat of the car and was still chattering: "Naoki-san must keep up the Film Academy Awards in two days' time!"

ˆ “.”

  The award ceremony was only about two hours long, and Naoki Nagayama did not go to the subsequent banquet salon, which was really a bit embarrassing. Currently, I am driving towards the studio in Shuyou’s car.

The car was driving slowly on the road in the port area. The white magnolia trees on both sides were already covered with buds, like white light bulbs, exuding a faint fragrance;

Under the sunlight, the dead trees in winter sprouted new buds, and the originally dark green low shrubs looked lush and green, as if they had changed their leaves.

 The footsteps of spring are approaching unknowingly.

Looking at the revitalized city, Nagayama Naoki felt a lot better, so he put aside what happened at the Blue Ribbon Award and asked Yoshimura Otomo, who had been silent but was looking at some document:

“Otomo-san, didn’t you say that after the award ceremony, you would go to Horikoshi and Nizhong to watch the auditions? Should you go now?”

 “Now?” Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised, “Don’t Naoki-san need to take a rest?”

"Haha, I'm full of energy right now." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Besides, the news of "April Story" was spread by Akina today. If we go to cast for a while, it might cause a commotion. .”

Everyone knows that the well-known director who just won the Best Director Award is going to be casting, and he will also be the protagonist of the next love movie. The female students in the acting school will definitely go crazy~

Maybe there will be people who come to your door asking for unwritten rules~

 “Let’s go now, let’s go to Sunrise first~”

Yoshimura Otomo directly used the car phone to dial the contact number of Hinode Women's Academy High School and told him that he and others were going to the school to meet the candidates.

 And the people over there seemed to readily agree. After all, they were all in school.

Hinode Girls' Academy High School, known as the mining ground for Japanese idol artists, was founded in 1903 and is a key aristocratic school.

 The point is, all female students are recruited and most of them will enter the entertainment industry.

 Just like the very interesting movie last year - "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", the starring Tomoyo Harada graduated from this school.

Having said that, the plot of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is actually very interesting. The novel it is adapted from is a long-lasting bestseller. However, the quality of the filming is a bit inferior to the special effects of this era. It is really difficult to describe it.

The car carrying the three Shuyou Group bosses, Nagayama Naoki, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo, stopped at 1-chome in Meguro District.

"I said." Nagayama Naoki looked at this unprepossessing, even somewhat old high school, a little disappointed, "We are here to select actors. Do you want us, the three big tree friends, to come together?"

ˆ “.”

Fangcun Dayou was speechless. It was obviously you who said you were going to come halfway! Originally, I should be in the office of the studio drinking hot tea and processing documents slowly at this time!

On the contrary, Itou Shuichi was very interested: "Just think of it as a talent reserve for the future. I also need some other actors for "Love Is Like the Rain"."

"All right."

 The three of them entered the school while chatting, and the dean of students, Shigekazu Konno, received them at the door.

“Congratulations to Director Naoki Nagayama for winning the Film Blue Ribbon Award for Best Director!” Director Shigekazu Konno congratulated very enthusiastically.

“Did Director Konno know so soon?” Naoki Nagayama smiled, “We just came from the venue.”

“Hahaha, as a school targeting the arts and entertainment industry, we are naturally very concerned about these.”

Konno Shigekazu did not explain his origin. Groups of students left their schools, and they naturally had strong connections.

“By the way, regarding the audition, we have notified the qualified candidates, and everyone is in the same classroom,” said Konno Shigekazu.

"how many people?"

 “Based on the previous conditions, we selected 25 people!”

Nagayama Naoki said in surprise: “It’s almost one class already.”

 “Haha, yes, because this year’s age is just right”

“How does Director Yongshan want to audition? Should he give them a script or let them show themselves first? It’s not just me, my students all have their own skills.”

Shigekazu Konno is a very responsible teaching director. He is still talking about the excellence of his students and hopes that his artists can get such opportunities.

“It would be too slow to audition one by one”

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, he was in the same class, and he didn’t know them either.

 “Why don’t we just watch their most natural performances”

He suddenly thought of a good idea: "Treat this classroom as the first meeting place for college classmates, let the students express themselves freely and introduce themselves to strange classmates!"

 “Huh? But they all know each other?!” Konno Nariwa said doubtfully.

"Isn't that just right? It can test their acting skills." Nagayama Naoki said, "At the same time, I can watch from the sidelines to see if any of them fits the role."

 “Xiu Yisang, what do you think?”

I was thinking about whether there are any roles in my own movie that need to be selected from here. When I heard this, I waved my hand and said: "Naoki-san, you can make your own decisions about your movie, but I still need to check their information later."

  Konno Shigekazu immediately changed the target of his attentiveness: "Ah, Director Itou also wants to cast a role! Are the conditions the same? Do you need me to get all the candidates' information?"

“No, "Love Has Stopped Like the Rain" is completely different from Naoki-san's "April Story". I need to look at students' physical education classes and daily studies to find the right person directly."

Yitang Xiuyi said nonchalantly, and he seemed to have stricter requirements for his first love movie.

"Ah, that's it." Konno Shigekazu was a little surprised, but he also knew that many directors have such quirks, so he cooperated, "Then I will let someone take Shuichi-san to visit."

As for Yoshimura Otomo, he decisively chose the latter between the weird uncle who peeped at the female students and the young director who had some strange audition methods. He didn't want to be accused of being accused of being accused of scandal after returning from today's casting event. Label.

In the multimedia classroom of Hinode Women's Academy High School, the girls of Yingying Yanyan gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the upcoming casting.

“I heard it’s Naoki Nagayama’s latest movie!” “Is that the handsome director? Is he expected to win a grand prize this time?”

“Yes, every movie he directs seems to elevate the heroine to the top of the film industry!” A female student laughed, “That’s why his heroines are all called ‘Tree Girls’!”

“But. I heard that guy is very flirtatious!” “I don’t know how to audition? Will it be a confession scene?!”

“So what if you’re flirtatious? If you fall in love with such a handsome guy, you’ll be able to make money no matter how you think about it!”

ˆ “.”

 In the absence of members of the opposite sex, the girls were very open-minded in their discussions. In their mouths, they quickly ate Naoki Nagayama like a piece of fresh meat!

When Naoki Nagayama and Shigewa Konno, the dean of students, opened the door to the classroom, the buzzing discussion immediately stopped, as if the head teacher was charging into an evening self-study. "Mina-san, this is director Naoki Nagayama. He will tell everyone about today's audition. I hope everyone will keep it in mind and seize the opportunity!" Konno Shigekazu said very seriously.

 “Hi~~”

 After the dean of education, Shigekazu Konno, handed the podium to him, Naoki Nagayama looked at the young girls in the classroom and smiled~

"Everyone, please relax~~~~~Hahaha, you all should know me. So I won't introduce myself." Nagayama Naoki said calmly, "I came to Sunrise Academy today to I am selecting the heroine for my next movie, "April Story," and because time is tight, I don't have much time for everyone to perform one by one."

“So, this audition was improvised.”

"From now on, you are freshmen who don't know each other. This classroom is the classroom where freshmen meet for the first time." Naoki Nagayama said to the confused eyes of a group of students, "Get to know and communicate with new classmates, Introduce yourself and make new friends”

 “How should you present yourself? In what way? You can do it according to your own ideas.”

 “I will only watch your performance and will not participate.”

 “Let’s spread the word everyone!”

Not only were the students confused, but Yoshimura Otomo and Konno Narikazu, who came together, were also slightly confused. However, Naoki Nagayama was already sitting in front of the podium and watching, and Konno Narikazu could only wave his hand and signal to the classroom. The students started immediately.

After being slightly flustered, the graduates of Sunrise Girls' Academy, who had rich performance experience after all, immediately took on the role of new students.

“My name is Ayoko Mikami, from Kumamoto Prefecture! My hobby is sweets.” One of the girls seemed to want to attract the director’s attention, introduced herself loudly, and began to show her personality.

 Following this, the students began to introduce themselves one by one, and then bustlingly began to divide into groups based on their hometown, hobbies, and personality.

Nagayama Naoki watched the performances of this group of female students with great interest. Some were very jerky, some used excessive force, and some tried their best to express themselves. However, these did not affect his judgment of the students.

He just wants to find the qualities that fit the character

“My name is Momo Nihara, I am from Shinagawa Ward and a Tokyo native.” Suddenly Naoki Nagayama’s attention was attracted by a slightly soft voice.

“My hobby is singing! But I am very timid, so I don’t dare to sing in front of others.”

This voice comes from a slender girl with a little baby fat. Her face is a little baby fat, her round eyes are shy, and her slightly shy smile is also very healing. It is really like her name, if Peach is generally sweet.

So he spoke: "If Taozi Sang likes to sing, can you sing it?"

 “Huh?!” The sudden interruption made Momoko Nihara a little panicked, “Here?”

“Yeah. Feel free to sing it~”

"Hey!" Momoko Nihara thought for a moment, then nodded and started humming. It turned out to be "Slow Motion" by Akina Nakamori!

Listening to her singing is like drinking a glass of ice-cold milk in the summer, fresh and silky, with a hint of sweetness.

 It has great potential!

　　 Shinhara Momo? ? ? Naoki Nagayama looked at it carefully and confirmed that this girl should have another name, Momoko Kikuchi!

 After listening to the singing, Nagayama Naoki didn't say much. Instead, he continued to watch other students' performances for a while, and then did not leave any comments.

 “Thank you for your participation and we will continue to contact you if there is any progress.”

 After saying such official words, Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo followed Konno Shigekazu out of the classroom.

ˆYangcun Dayu has basically determined:

 “Naoki-san, is that the girl?”

“Well, it’s her~ However, as a stage name, Momoko Nihara seems a bit too bland. If it’s a stage name, let’s call her Momoko Kikuchi!”

 Naoki Nagayama did not hesitate too much. Showa actresses who can leave traces in their memory are all famous idols, and they must be outstanding.

“Hi, I understand. I will continue to communicate with her in the future.” This is the first time Yoshimura Otomo has seen Nagayama Naoki give an artist a stage name. It seems that Naoki-san values ​​this girl very much!

Ichioko Kyoto, who followed in front, was a little incredible: "Director Yongshan, is it determined just one side?"

"Haha, when you meet the right person, one glance is enough. There is no need to look a second time." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Director Konno, take us to see Director Shuichi Itou. I wonder if he has Did not find suitable ones."

At this time, in the teaching building of Sunrise Women's Academy, there was a strange old man wandering around the floors, carefully looking at every student, and sometimes even running to the stairs at the corner to look at the playground.

This outrageous behavior even caused some students to call security.

However, after the accompanying student explained the situation, the security guard let him go.

However, after wandering around for a long time, he still didn't seem to find the right person, so he could only lie on the railing and sigh.

 “Xiu Yisang!”

As soon as Itou Xiu heard Nagayama Naoki's call, he turned his head and found that three people had already walked over.

 “Naoki-san, have you finished it?”

"Yes, we have found a suitable candidate. How about it? Isn't Shuichi-san interested in it?" Nagayama Naoki was in a good mood.

“It still feels a bit bad, and there are all girls here, and I still haven’t found some male supporting characters.” Itou Shuichi sighed.

Hongcun Dayu comforted him: "Then we should go to Huiyue, there are male students there too."

 “This is the only way~”

Yoshimura Otomo turned to Imano Shigekazu: "Director Konno, thank you very much for today's reception. Regarding Nishikawa Momoko, we will have a dedicated person come to negotiate a cooperation agreement later. I also hope that your school can help make an appointment with the other party's guardian."

 “Hi! Of course there’s no problem!!”

 Sarikazu Konno is very happy, the biggest performance of this year has come out!

 As several people thanked each other, Shuyou's casting group left in a car.

 Konano Chengkazu walked towards the multimedia classroom just now with excitement in his heart. He wanted to find some air with Momoko Nihara.

 At this time, in the classroom, Shinhara Momo has become the center of the conversation.

“Peach jam, it must be you!” “He only asked you questions!” “Have you known each other before?”

“Peach jam is going to enter the entertainment world first!” “The next ‘tree girl’ has appeared!” “Peach jam, don’t forget to be rich and noble.” “Be careful of being deceived by the **** Naoki!”

The words of envy or jealousy made Momoko Shinhara feel surprised and happy at the same time, and she could only answer the students' questions with encouragement.

At this moment, the classroom door opened again, and Konno Chenghe walked in.

“Okay, today’s audition is over, everyone should go back to their classes!”

 “Momo Nihara. Please stay for a while and come to my office!”

 “Hi!” Momoko Nihara trembled nervously and followed Konno Shigeka out a little stiffly.

As soon as the door closed, a lively discussion erupted in the classroom.
