I interpret life in Tokyo

Madoka Higuchi just watched.

She frowned.

Afterwards, the girl took a step forward, "Sakakibara-san is not an idol, so he should be very good at showing himself?"

With self-deprecating and hedgehog-like spikes in a sentence, it can only be said that it is Madoka Higuchi, only she can say such level words.

"Hmm, that's right."

Mai Sakurajima's eyes flicked around Madoka Higuchi's body, she pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Kaede Sakakibara naturally knew that Madoka Higuchi had a kind heart under his indifferent appearance, so he nodded his thanks immediately.

Uehara Yao watched from the sidelines with tears in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "I am a handsome golden retriever, I am a handsome golden retriever."

Takeda Hiroshi coughed, "What's wrong, they are all acquaintances, don't they all talk like that?"

"This... can this be the same?" Uehara Yao lamented, he also wanted actresses to care about him, didn't any actress care about how he got here after being recognized as a gangster for so many years?

The atmosphere was a little weird, the boy frowned, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but fortunately, at this time, the leader of the firm, Hiroshi Aoyama, appeared and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

The STARS office alone has dispatched more than 100 people, and many of them are actors of the same class. The actresses who are chatting skillfully with Chizuru Ichinose are students of the same class as her. They have just graduated. Entering this kind of workplace audition is out of the question, stepping on a little bit and getting some experience is the real thing.

"Uh...cough cough, I'll call the names, and we'll enter the venue in the order of the office after we're all here." Qing Shanyang coughed, took out the tablet he carried with him, pushed his glasses, his unshaven beard was out of place with his suit and leather shoes, It made many actors who are familiar with him laugh, what kind of underworld uncle is this.

Uehara's dazzling eyes were moist, he seemed to have found his own home.

If Sakakihara Kaede knew what his friend was thinking, he would probably pour cold water on him directly. After shaving, Aoyama Hiroshi is still a very energetic and handsome guy, but now he is in a decadent style, not because he is born with a decadent style.

"Yuanxiangjiang, does he still come to make up lessons every day?"

"Hey, I haven't missed any class."

"You're so hardworking, is it really Sakakibara-senpai who did it?" Sakurajima Mai looked up and down Sakakibara Kaede suspiciously, and the corners of Higuchi Madoka's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Sakakibara Feng glanced at the two women coldly, "You have learned too little, you don't know what it means to be a teacher, do you understand a teacher?"

Mai Sakurajima snorted twice, took Madoka Higuchi's hand to report to the front, Kaede Sakakibara shook her head, her slightly nervous mood was disturbed by this nonsensical conversation, but it did calm down a lot.

He stepped forward, heard his name from Qing Shanyang, and raised his hand.

After counting the number of people, a group of people followed other offices and lined up outside the exhibition hall. Those who didn't know thought that the exhibition was held today.

"I have been to this venue last year. If you want to go to the toilet, I can recommend a few nearby places for you." Uehara Yao waved.

"last year?"

"At Comic Con, I bought a lot of things and followed the twitter of many illustrators and cosers."

Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede and Takeda Hiroshi immediately turned their backs and clicked on Uehara Yo's personal homepage, clicked on the follow list, and directly followed those who saw the profile picture in their eyes.

Seeing that Uehara Yao and himself have a lot of common concerns, the boy couldn't help but nodded. It's a very enjoyable thing for friends to have the same hobbies and interests. Uehara has a future and is a fellow.

Suggested screens were also built inside the pavilion to distinguish the rooms. At least the occasion of this audition was very different from the boy's previous few times.

The first few times I sat in a lounge with a sofa, TV and snacks.

but now. . .

Sakakibara Kaede looked around and saw that the entire venue was filled with tables and chairs, as if it was a conference. A bottle of water was placed on each seat, showing the professionalism of the staff.

"It's too exaggerated." Uehara Yao sighed.

Isn't it? It's like a Star Citizen offline party. Kaede Sakakibara watched the actors sit down after confirming their seats, their postures were correct, and their hearts were trembling.

At first, he thought it would be the size of an offline party for big puff mushroom lovers, but the reality gave him a series of peas.

"Forget it, sit down first."

Uehara Yao comforted himself, pulled the chair and sat down.

Mai Sakurajima and Madoka Higuchi each pulled a chair and sat beside Kaede Sakakibara, looking like two gate gods.

While the people were still entering the venue, Kaede Sakakibara lowered his voice and asked, "Sakurajima-senpai, Higuchi-san, what role are you going to audition for this time?"

Madoka Higuchi didn't speak, and it was Mai Sakurajima who spoke first, she said seriously, "Whether it's a positive character or a villain, I want my character to convey a will, a thought, and a determination. ...Of course, such a character should be a Kamen Rider."

"Well, if I can become Kamen Rider's younger generation, or be the first female character to know his true identity, I will be satisfied."

Madoka Higuchi nodded, "If there is a role that silently contributes to others, I would like to try it."

Sakakibara Kaede nodded, this is not a different theme, and the characters they want to shoot have also changed drastically. At least in this black and white special film, all actors like to be the party of justice, even if they can't Whether it is Kamen Rider, it is also a good choice to become a partner of the symbol of justice.

Everyone's taste is naturally different, Uehara Yo has been completely blackened and wants to turn into a villain and stab his righteous partner.

"By the way, what about Sakakibara-senpai's band album?" Mai Sakurajima asked in a low voice beside Kaede Sakakibara, "If Sakakibara-senpai is selected to start filming, then he may have to travel around Japan. Will the second album be released in the middle of the month?"

"Hiss." The boy sucked in a breath. He obviously forgot about this. The scenes and locations used in the special dramas in the past were super large. He is used to shooting small and fresh TV dramas and movies, and he is used to shooting in Tokyo in the morning , The daily routine of carrying the bag and leaving at night.

The special shooting drama is different. It may take a week to shoot in two locations in Tokyo and Osaka, which means that he needs to pack up his etiquette and go on a shooting trip.

"Sister Sakurajima reminded me well, of course I must be selected successfully." Kaede Sakakibara coughed and said under Mai Sakurajima's gaze with a smile, "Just in case, I will finish the recording in advance. "

"That's about the same. What's the name of Sakakibara-senpai's new album?"

"I haven't thought about this yet, and I have to discuss it with Nishikino-san and Miura-san at that time."

The voices of the two fell down, because most of the actors who came to the audition had already taken their seats, and the voice in the originally lively venue like a free market gradually became smaller, and everyone whispered to each other with a gentle volume.

While they were talking, a group of people entered the venue with documents in their hands.

The actors spontaneously got up to say hello, which is a respect and greeting to Toei's producers and production team.

Sakakibara Kaede cleared his throat, and he stopped talking, but took a sip of water to moisten his dry lips.

"Eh--"

After the production team sat down one by one, the person in the middle tried to see if the microphone was working. He heard his own voice being clearly transmitted, and he covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

The venue suddenly fell silent, and all the actors looked at the production team with the most burning eyes, hoping that they could notice their firm eyes and know their pious heart—these are just psychological comfort.

"Hey... I am Ishida Hidenomo, one of the directors of the Kamen Rider production team. Before I talk about the content of the audition, I would like to welcome everyone to participate in this audition. I believe everyone will come with a love for Tokusei drama. to here."

The person who spoke seemed to be older. If I had to describe it accurately, he might be a middle-aged person close to the elderly. He looked about 50 years old. In Toei, the production team and the circle were honored as masons.

Shi Jiang got up and began to introduce the members of the production team one by one. He took a serious attitude towards this planning, and the actors in the audience gradually put away their smiles and put on a poker face.

There were dozens of people sitting in the front row, including the director, as well as screenwriters and producers.

"This audition will be conducted in batches, starting from the leading role, and no more than three roles will be auditioned by the same person." Stonecutter knows that actors are limited to more than one role, so he speaks very broadly, "First of all, we need to disclose Part of the plot of this project... Arakawa-sensei..."

He handed the microphone to a gray-haired middle-aged and elderly man, who took the microphone and nodded his thanks, "Hi everyone, I am this project, Kamen Rider's screenwriter Minoru Arakawa."

After eloquently introducing himself and the plot that can be revealed so far, Mr. Arakawa continued.

"Hey, in the plot of about 50 episodes, there are a lot of daily life elements mixed in. This is also an innovation in the special shooting drama... This time the protagonist is not the so-called ideal male protagonist. He will be confused, he will also be injured, and most importantly, he is also an ordinary person."

Sakakihara Kaede listened very carefully, he took out the prepared paper and pen from his pocket and began to take notes crookedly.

Mai Sakurajima saw the boy's movements in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

He wasn't the only one, the actors who wanted to audition for the leading role were all busy writing at the moment, these were the main points of the role revealed by the screenwriter, with this reminder, the audition would be much easier.

At least the direction is not wrong.

The so-called glamorous and ideal male protagonist has become more and more mediocre in recent schedules, and the same is true of the protagonists created by Mr. Arakawa. This has nothing to do with the evolution of the novel's theme, but has to do with the market.

It's still the same reason as before, and it makes people feel substituting after watching it.

Kashima Yu scratched her head, she felt that she should audition for a female role.

And similar to a character like Kamen Rider, such a hero, he can be embarrassed, but he must not be beautiful.

Kaede Sakakibara heaved a sigh of relief. He obviously thought of similar problems to Kashima Yu, but fortunately, his play path is relatively wide, and it takes less and less time to substitute for special roles.

At the same time, he also learned a fact.

Kamen Rider occupies about 50 episodes, but each episode occupies about 25 minutes, which is the length of the first-level animation.

This is different from the 10-minute four episodes of the TV series he shot before. The TV series can detail and enlarge the relationship between characters and facial close-ups. Combined into more than 20 minutes, this will be a very large workload.

Maybe I have to go to different places in a week.

Sakakihara Kaede said to himself silently, if he passed the audition and was selected, then he had to be prepared to shoot continuously until January and February next year. . .Will he still pass the leave slip submitted to Dean Kimura?

"Hey, the full name of this project is Kamen Rider Kuuga."

The microphone returned to Mason's hand. He concluded with this sentence, and then said: "Next, please go to the audition locations of the leading actors in turn. We will first use the group audition scene, and then we will eliminate a group of people. Afterwards, we will send the actors to individual auditions."

The meaning of the production team is very simple, because there are so many people, so it is better to cut through the mess quickly and eliminate a group first, and adopt the same group audition as the wildfire in midsummer.

I don't know how many people formed the team this time. If you are lucky, several or even all members of the group may be selected—just like Kaede Sakakibara last time, if you are unlucky, the entire group may be eliminated.

But this time, everyone is a competitor.

Sakakibara Kaede took a deep breath and stood up together with the two girls beside her.

"We're going to audition for the female lead role." Mai Sakurajima held Madoka Higuchi's hand and stood aside to prevent being scattered by the crowd. The two of them looked at Kaede Sakakibara, and the former said, "Senior Sakakibara, come on!"

"Well, so are you."

Madoka Higuchi opened her mouth, she looked at the back of the boy who was catching up with the big team, she still didn't say the most important thing, this time, was it for the so-called face, or to hide her own existence, drifting with the ordinary actors Woolen cloth?

"Yuanxiangjiang, the words of blessing are only effective if you say them." Mai Sakurajima said with a smile, and took her hand and rushed towards Kashimayu.

Madoka Higuchi was pulled by someone other than her childhood sweetheart. At first, she felt a little strange and resisted. After a long time, she just let nature take its course.

It seemed that she also let other people hold her hand like this, more than once.

I also cried in his arms, although it was for the needs of the plot.

It was the smell of an unfamiliar shower gel. After all, everyone used it differently. Next time, go to the supermarket to find out which brand he is using.

Sakakibara Kaede looked back and saw that several friends he knew were already at the end of the line. He took a deep breath, took out the notebook in his arms, and did the last temporary crouching.

Chapter 3 This is what I learned in Hawaii

Actors who wanted to audition for leading roles left the giant conference room and walked down the corridor into another open venue.

As I said before, this is an exhibition hall, and events similar to comic exhibitions have also been held, so the venue for actors to audition is naturally very large.

And in the depths are the walls and gates, and Sakakibara Kaede couldn't help but take a look.

That's where the audition should be.

"Hey, the audition for the starring role is about to begin. The grouping is based on ten people, and the lottery will be drawn." The staff member in charge of the assessment said in a business-like tone holding a tablet computer, "The content of the audition will be completed after the grouping is completed and entered the audition location. Tell me, after the audition, please leave here quietly and go to the main meeting room to take a rest."

"Actors who want to audition for other roles can go directly to other exhibition rooms to audition after the audition for the leading role. In a while, there will be snacks and fruits prepared by Toei in the main meeting room. If you have any questions, please ask the nearest staff."

"After the first round of auditions for all roles, the actors are free to leave. The decision on eligibility for the second round of auditions will be sent by email tonight."

"Hey -- let's start first..." The staff finished all the procedures and saw that the actors had no problems, so they looked at the tablet in their hands and reported their names.

The faces of the actors who were named in the first round have a mixture of excitement and anxiety. You must know that the first batch of actors who audition usually impress the judges the most-whether it is good or bad of.

Sakakihara Kaede was not called by his name in the first round, he was relieved, and grinned at Uehara Yo and Takeda Hiroshi beside him.

"It feels so professional."

Uehara Yao sighed.

The boy nodded sympathetically, this time the audition can be regarded as a pinnacle in terms of scale and arrangement.

Huge venues and a large number of staff, not to mention the production team, the number of actors auditioning alone is equal to the number of tourists visiting the exhibition hall.

"A ten-person audition... What kind of rivalry scene will be staged?" Uehara Yao rubbed his chin and said to himself.

Indeed, this is a good question. Midsummer's will-o'-the-wisps let them imitate the high school students who were chased by the murderer to the dead end of the mansion, and acted out their frightened expressions and dialogues.

What would Kamen Rider Kuuga's audition be like?

Sakakibara Kaede imagined that this is an audition for the leading role, wouldn't the audition be like throwing a belt to everyone and then having a group arena match in one space?

Who can fight to the end, who is the real Kamen Rider.

Wait, is this raising Gu?

Sakakihara Kaede was a little speechless when he thought of this, and quickly shook his head to throw away this outrageous idea.

The person who survives to the end is the Kamen Rider. What kind of ghost came up with this audition method.

The whispering lasted for less than 10 minutes. The first batch of auditioned actors came out of the gate one by one. It could be seen that some of them were a little lost, and the facial expressions of others did not show any positive emotions.
