Poverty story after Tokyo actress

Chapter 23 Punch Kuotuowa Road!

"Three major film festivals? All inclusive?" Jiang Bai looked at Zhenqin's eyes full of enthusiasm and excitement. When she mentioned this, her usual laziness, tranquility, and coziness disappeared in an instant. Obviously, she was sincere to the three Big movies are full of dreams and expectations.

Undoubtedly, reason told Jiang Bai that Zhenqin's wish was a kind of unrealistic nonsense, but Jiang Bai couldn't help laughing at the burning enthusiasm of Zhenqin's deep eyes.

So what if it's unrealistic?Can't you pursue it?After all, I had a similar wish in my previous life.

"Makoto, do you know how difficult your simple sentence is?"

"I know it's difficult, but so what? Don't you go after it?" Zhenqin frowned and asked Jiang Bai.

This answer made Jiang Bai smile knowingly, and sure enough, her answer would not disappoint herself.

"Hahaha, that's right, there is nothing if you don't go after it. It's better to have a goal than to be idle. But, do you know, until now, how many actresses have been able to win the grand slam of the three major film festivals?"

"Yes, there are only two. But, so what? Someone is always going to be the next Grand Slam, why can't it be me?" Makoto shrugged, not caring about it.

"You are quite confident. You know it yourself. You can't even match my acting skills." Jiang Bai shook his head crying and laughing, and poured cold water on Hoshino Makoto.

Facing Jiang Bai's cold water, Zhenqin chuckled, then approached Jiang Bai, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "So~ can you do me a favor? Help me get into the three major film festivals?"

"You still... really trust me, why do you think I can help you enter the three major film festivals?" Jiang Bai glanced at his real piano eagerly, touched his chin and asked curiously.

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that you have that ability... Although I'm curious, why do I feel that way. However, I just believe it inexplicably. So, Jiang Bai, can you help me?"

Facing Zhenqin's inquiry, Jiang Bai sighed slightly, curled his lips and smiled, and turned off Zhenqin.

"...Well... who knows~"

Said, Jiang Bai's thoughts went back to his previous life, the scene of himself standing at the Cannes Film Festival, that was the highest film honor he had won, but, after decades of accumulation, the moment he held the trophy in his hand, he did not Not excited.

And the Cannes Film Festival did not give Jiang Bai the honor and capital of adding a yellow robe, that is, it became easier to accept the show.

The film industry is actually quite out of touch with the daily life of the people, especially the three major film festivals, which are actually far away from a large number of movie fans.

Instead, movie fans pay more attention to the Oscars, which belong exclusively to the American film industry.I don't care about the three more valuable awards of the three major film festivals.

At this point, Jiang Bai has to admire the marketing methods of American movies, which can market a domestic award with more gimmicks than international awards.

However, Hollywood's film industry has long stood out from the crowd in the world, and to a certain extent, it does represent the highest technology in the world's films.

It's probably like... the relationship between table tennis in the Chinese National Games and Olympic table tennis?

Not at all, table tennis in the National Games is the top competition, which is truly more valuable than the Olympics.But film festivals are much more complicated. At least in terms of literary and artistic films, the three major film festivals have much higher gold content than Oscars.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai couldn't help being a little curious. She asked like Zhenqin: "By the way, why don't you want an Oscar, Zhenqin? It is clear that Oscar's reputation is now more than that of the three major film festivals. Oscar queens are well known. Three After the big film festival, no one cares about it."

"...Hahaha, Jiang Bai, don't tease me, don't you think that a national film award opened by the United States, relying on the traffic awards brought by marketing, is better than the three major film festivals? And...do you think they really Let me be a Japanese woman to win the award?"

"Well~ Indeed." Jiang Bai also looked at each other with a smile, not to mention Dongying women, Oscar has been in operation for so many years, basically it is the world of European and American actors, and there are almost no ones a little bit east.Let alone an actress.

In comparison, although the three major film festivals are basically home venues in Europe and the United States, their evaluations are much more objective than the Oscars.

Being able to see this clearly, Makoto is much better than most Japanese actresses, because many directors and even actors now have some Oscar fanaticism.

The logic of many people is amazing, because many Asian directors and actors have won the three major film festivals, but there are far fewer Oscars, so it is pure nonsense that the Oscars are better than the three major film festivals .

According to this logic, China's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers is also better than the three major film festivals. Those three major film festivals really have no reputation, and all national awards are better than them.

"Actually, when I was a child, I also worshiped Oscar for no reason. Compared with the three major film festivals, Oscar is much more famous. Over time, I felt that Oscar was the most powerful. But my grandma woke me up. Later, after I really got in touch with it, I realized Turns out it wasn't."

Saying that, Makoto shrugged and smiled, seeming to be a little self-deprecating at her youthful ignorance.

And Jiang Bai couldn't help laughing, who isn't?Oscar's marketing is really good, and I was also a supporter of Oscar-only theory in my early years.

And in this way, Jiang Bai became more curious about Hoshino Maaya. You must know that the decline in the gold content of Oscars is also because the selection of Oscar movies has become less and less objective in recent years. However, in the 80s and 90s of the last century, Oscars were really The hegemony of the film industry, at that time it really surpassed the momentum of the three major film festivals.

Maaya Hoshino was able to see clearly the essence of Oscar in such an environment, which can be said to have a broad vision.I wish I had time to visit.

"If you have time, can I visit Hoshino Maaya-senpai?"

"Visiting grandma? Yes, grandma has been living in the suburbs of Tokyo for the elderly after she handed over the company to Dad. Of course, she applauds when someone can visit her. Let me tell you something interesting. Guess what is grandma's favorite gift?"

"Ah? How do I know... I don't understand Maaya-senpai's character..."

"Well, okay, let me give you a hint, it's something that young people like nowadays."

"Um... Even if it's like this, I can't think of it... Really, didn't you say you like to play role-playing before?" Jiang Bai smiled bitterly. Who can think of this, is it too broad?So mess around a bit.

"Hahaha, that's her hobby. The things she likes are beyond your imagination. Grandma's favorite... is animation~"

"...animation..."

Hearing animation, which was originally Dongpu's strong point, but in this world, Dongpu has become tepid and things entered his ears again, and Jiang Bai's mind instantly burst into an idea...

Think about it carefully... Hoshino Maaya's life is so legendary that no novel dares to write it like this, and an actress actually has a forward-looking development of Japan's film and television industry...

Woc, this Hoshino Maaya, isn't she also a time traveler like herself?

The more he thought about it, the more likely Jiang Bai felt.

Thinking of this, the motivation to visit Hoshino Maaya just now disappeared without a trace, which was more of an embarrassment.

With a wry smile, he changed the topic. Jiang Bai did not continue to mention the matter about Hoshino Maaya. Two traversers, one of whom has achieved fame and is called a film and television legend, and he is still running around for repayment. If we meet, it will be clear at a glance who is embarrassing .

And when Zhenqin saw that Jiang Bai's expression changed after he heard the word animation, he changed the subject and did not continue to mention his grandma. Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't ask much.

Could it be...Jiang Bai doesn't like animation?It seems that there are indeed many people who don't like Two-dimensional very much now.

Makoto guessed in her heart, this was the greatest possibility she could guess.

However, she may not even think of breaking her head, Jiang Bai is a traverser.

The two chatted with each other like this, and even the boss did not ask Jiang Bai to work, and let Jiang Bai openly fish and chat during working hours. This may be the so-called privilege of a beautiful girl.

"Huh? You actually played Ultraman?"

"Of course, grandma's company has always been one of Yuangu's main investments. When Yuangu was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was grandma who asked the company to pay for Yuangu's protection. In fact, it's not enough to play a role."

"I just relied on my relationship. When I was young, I played a few little girls in Ultraman Tiga. I remember... I played the young Lina. Of course, that kind of cameo is not a performance. Hahaha!"

Good guy... Is this the stardom of a rich family?This starting point is stronger than some people's ending points...

In addition to these, Makoto Hoshino has also guest-starred in many well-known manga dramas, such as Minazukishiro in Naruto, and it was this role that made Makoto Hoshino famous.

And in the full-time hunter, Ma Qi who played the role of the Phantom Brigade.In addition to Kagura in Inuyasha and Yukidaiba in Rurouni Kenshin, Makoto has also acted in many serious TV dramas.

And if you want to be called a powerful actor, movies are even more indispensable.

There is no doubt that Zhenqin's current achievements have a lot to do with her own resources, but there is no doubt about Zhenqin's excellent strength and seriousness when facing performances.

For such an actor, Jiang Bai can only express...so envious...

"Are you envious?" Zhenqin smirked and asked Jiang Bai.

"Can you not be envious, your starting point like this is the ending point of others, not to mention your strength, but also your capital... I really want to be like this!"

"Hey, then~ Do you want to join our company? I can let you have the same resources and opportunities as me~" Zhenqin reached out and raised Jiang Bai's chin, and asked her provocatively.

Jiang Bai admitted that for a moment, she was really tempted, but at the last moment, Jiang Bai calmed down, looking at Zhenqin's intriguing smile, Jiang Bai put away his restless heart, smiled slightly, and gave up this temptation.

"No..."

"Hmm~ why?" Makoto asked with a raised brow and a smile on her face.

"If that's the case...wouldn't I be throwing in the towel? As a person, I really yearn for a life of soft food and free food. However, if I really live such a life, I feel uneasy... "

"So... let's talk about it after the competition. After all, I will join your company only if I lose the game between us. If you really want to force me, you can choose to sentence me after we have finished performing rivalry lose."

"...Aren't you afraid that I really deliberately sentenced you to lose?"

"I'm not afraid, on the contrary, I'm looking forward to it. After all, who doesn't want to eat soft rice...Although I don't hate such a self-working life, it doesn't mean I like it. If I really eat your soft rice, I might live with a smile on my face." go down..."

Makoto asked back: "Then why don't you just admit defeat? As long as you admit defeat, you can live the same life as me, and have the same film and television resources as me that no one else wants. There is no shortage of roles and opportunities. , not short of money, follow me to the stage of the three major film festivals...how wonderful~"

"That's right... When I think about this kind of life, I feel like I can't stop... I don't need to worry about debts, I don't need to run half of the city every day to earn money..."

"So... admit defeat?"

"Ha... punch card Kuotuo wow road!"

"..."

"This is my pride as an actor, isn't it the same for you? Makoto, you can live a carefree life without doing anything, but you still have to move forward with an almost impossible goal... this is... our The dignity of being an actor.

"... Hahaha, yes, that's why I like you, Jiang Bai~ Do you know? Jiang Bai, if you choose to admit defeat, I may leave the hotel directly and drive away, but, I know, you will not admit defeat... ..."

Jiang Bai looked at Zhenqin who was laughing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was really comfortable to admit defeat. Not convinced.

Chapter 24 I like you...Jiang Bai

During the conversation between the two, the night gradually darkened, and the shop owner began to pack up the seats and prepare to end the day's business.

For this, Jiang Bai apologized to the boss quite apologetically, but the boss just smiled and waved his hands, and did not have any complaints about Jiang Bai's blatant fishing. Perhaps, this is the so-called privilege of a beautiful girl.

"Do you want me to take you back?" Zhenqin shook the car key in her hand, leaned on her car, and asked Jiang Bai with a smile.

Then... it's all like this, can Jiang Bai still refuse?Of course not.

"Then, thank you."

"Hahaha~ You don't need to thank me~ I just want to visit your house too."

"To my house? Why?"

"I sent you to work part-time again, and sent you home again. You have to invite me to sit at your house anyway? Huh?" Zhenqin tilted her head, leaning against Jiang Bai and pouted to question.

Now that she has said this, Jiang Bai is naturally not good at refusing, but when he thinks of his rotten rental house, Jiang Bai can't help but remind with a wry smile: "But...the place where I live now is not Great...I can't entertain you..."

"Not so good? Oh, don't worry, I don't have a cleanliness or anything. And you may not believe it. When she just graduated, Fujimoto Shuko had nothing. She went to make underground movies and lived in a rental house of more than ten square meters. .”

"When I went to visit her, she squatted on the ground alone to organize the film, and there was almost no place to stay in the whole room. How can you be worse than her residence at that time?"

Makoto laughed, saying that she hadn't seen anything?

However, the moment she followed Jiang Bai to open Jiang Bai's apartment...

Good guy, she really hasn't seen this battle before...

"No...Jiang Bai, you...what are these boxes you packed?"

"Ah...these are all second-hand goods that are going to be mailed out. You know, I owe a lot of money, so I will sell my more valuable things at the beginning to recover my blood to see if I can pay off some debts. "

Said, Jiang Bai carefully picked up some packed cardboard boxes, stacked them together or moved them away to make an open space, and then threw a stack of cardboard on the open space, barely used as a cushion.

"I'm sorry, I didn't buy any cushions. I usually sit directly on the tatami. If you don't mind, just sit here..."

Jiang Bai explained to Zhenqin with a wry smile on his face, and then walked to the few electrical appliances at home, the refrigerator, opened the door of the refrigerator, took out a bottle of chilled purified water and handed it to Zhenqin.

"There is nothing to entertain, only... this..." Jiang Bai shrugged and smiled bitterly.

And Zhenqin looked at the cold purified water in his hand because of the cheap refrigerator, his face gradually became silent, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"..."

She had guessed how much debt Jiang Bai would be in so that he worked so hard to make money, but looking at Jiang Bai's optimistic attitude and lively attitude, she always felt that it would not be a very big debt.

However, looking at Jiang Bai's current living environment is even worse than when she met Fujimoto Shuko who had just graduated, she suddenly discovered that optimism is just Jiang Bai's own character, and the possibility of Jiang Bai's life Far beyond my imagination...

"That...Jiang Bai, your current life..."

Jiang Bai saw Zhenqin's doubts in an instant, waved his hands and smiled indifferently, and said, "It's okay, I'm living a good life now, in fact, I live in this place just looking for a warehouse that can sell these things .”

"When these goods are finished, I will leave this rental house and live in the boss's restaurant. The boss is very kind to me, willing to let me cover food and housing, and give me a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yen. As a temporary worker, I am grateful enough to Dade."

With that said, Jiang Bai turned on his mobile phone to see if there were any traded goods on the trading website today. It seemed to be pretty good. There are a few buyers who are more interested in a few items, and they can probably return tens of thousands of yen in blood.

Compared with Jiang Bai's joy when he found out that he could continue to recover blood, Zhenqin's mood became more complicated. She sat on a hard cardboard with a bit of buttocks, and the iced pure water in her hand was also bitingly cold.

As a rich girl, it is naturally difficult for her to experience the hardships of the poor, but she has actually seen those young people without background and capital who are struggling in Tokyo. Single rooms in Internet cafes, simply because they are cheap.

She really saw Fujimoto Kiko fiddling with film and cameras in a simple bungalow before she became famous, so she was able to fully express the simple and pure doubts and difficulties of the bottom people when shaping the characters.

For a while, she seemed to understand why Jiang Bai was able to have such a top acting ability at such a young age, even if she was an amateur actor without any acting experience.

Looking at Jiang Bai's old rental house with mottled paint on the walls, there is even a little bit of old musty smell in the air, and the refrigerator is struggling to make a loud roar because of the length of service...

For a moment, a question emerged from Makoto's heart.

"Jiang Bai... how do you bear such a life..."

"Huh? Accept it?"

Jiang Bai's face was stunned, looking at Zhenqin with a complicated complexion, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but chuckle, this little rich woman obviously still has too little knowledge.

"Hahaha, this is not a burden, okay, Makoto. It's just a place to sleep. It's enough to lie down and sleep, and the people who usually work are not here. Sleeping, when the lights are turned off and the eyes are closed, where do you sleep? It doesn't matter anymore, does it?"
