I interpret life in Tokyo

Sakakihara Kaede refilled a drink for himself, he noticed Chizuru Ichinose who was looking here from time to time in the crowd of newcomers and actors in the distance, and he waved to her.

The newcomer actresses around Chizuru Ichinose immediately started booing and laughing, saying that it must be a lie if they don’t envy them, they all turned into good sisters to assist Chizuru Ichinose, let her enjoy Senior Sakakibara name.

Chizuru Ichinose was holding the drink, her face powdered due to shyness, and she came to Kaede Sakakibara, "Senior Sakakibara, Merry Christmas Eve."

"Let's have fun together, I thought they were embarrassing you at first." Sakakibara Kaede looked around and saw the newcomer actresses smiling at him, and looked away after a while, "But I seem to have misunderstood something."

The girl's heart warmed up. She had already noticed Kaede Sakakibara entering the venue just now. Just as she was about to step forward to talk to him, she saw the four idol seniors beside him who were as beautiful as flowers. Losing this opportunity, she continued to wait. But Kaede Sakakihara chatted with Yao Uehara next, and she would not interrupt the conversation between the two, it would be too impolite.

After procrastinating and procrastinating, it is now.

It's meaningless to talk about work between the two. Now they are both in the same crew, and they don't see each other every day, so the topic changes from work to daily life.

"How is grandma's health, do you need to go back for regular checkups?"

"The old man is in good health. He has to go out for a jog every morning. It's just that grandma doesn't want me to take care of her too much. Obviously, I should be the one who takes care of her."

Sakakibara Kaede was silent, the elder's love for the younger generation, the love between relatives was very dazzling.

"Is life convenient? I remember you were talking about renting a house with the firm before. Do you have any arrangements now?"

Ichinose Chizuru hesitated, "It seems that I have to wait for a while."

Either it was really necessary to wait for a while to inquire about the renting information, or it was prevaricated. After all, Chizuru Ichinose is just a newcomer actress, and she is not the kind of one-in-a-million newcomer in the office. normal thing.

"Have you talked to Iida-san?"

The girl said timidly, "No."

"Ichinose-san, you should tell us more about these things." Sakakibara Kaede said helplessly, "I am your senior, and Iida-san is your manager."

"Well, I'll go say hello to Iida-san tomorrow, and try to find a new home for you before the first month. It will be inconvenient for grandma's life if this continues, and the Nerima area is relatively far away from the office. Se-san spends a lot of time in traffic every day."

Ichinose Chizuru hummed lightly.

"Next season... Sakakibara-senpai have any plans?"

"Has Ichinose-san already thought about next year?" Sakakibara Kaede laughed, "I haven't, but depending on Iida-san's arrangement, I might take a break or participate in an audition."

He mentioned a few more words about work, and then continued to bring the topic to the aspect of life. When he and Ichinose Chizuru talked about work, there was always a little unskilled and awkward, because Ichinose Chizuru was a newcomer Sometimes I can't keep up with the rhythm of the topic, but Ichinose Chizuru was revived instantly when we talked about life.

"I have to go home soon." Chizuru Ichinose pursed her lips and smiled, "I will leave after exchanging gifts. Although grandma is watching TV in the room with a few elderly people downstairs, I am still a little worried."

"Senior Sakakibara, what plans do you have next time? Please take me to the audition. I can learn more under the guidance of Senior Sakakibara..."

"This time it's the other way around. It's the same as when we first met."

"what."

Chizuru Ichinose blushed when she heard these words, and stared at Kaede Sakakibara, apparently recalling the shameful memory, not only was she pretending to be recognized by her senior, but also her sleeping posture was seen by her senior. Precious, but for her, it was a memory that she didn't dare to think about.

She seemed to recall more, the oolong that almost made a fuss when filming the reality show and the familiar tone made Ichinose Chizuru's face burn.

But it is undeniable that she actually wants to go back to the days when they lived together under the roof, where there were no barriers, only the gentle seniors were guiding the studious juniors.

Ichinose Chizuru felt the gaze of her good sisters, she squirmed her lips, "Does Sakakibara-senpai like to make fun of me?"

"Ah."

"what?"

"Because you are the original you when you are joking, not a reserved junior." Kaede Sakakibara raised the drink to Chizuru Ichinose, and then took a sip, "Show yourself properly in the crew, and in life Show your original self. Ichinose-san’s original personality is very good, so you don’t need to change your personality to suit your seniors.”

"I admire the ordinary Ichinose Chizuru, and I also admire the Ichinose Chizuru in the state of a junior, but in daily life, I still prefer to see the former."

Ichinose Chizuru bit her lip, took out her glasses from her coat pocket and put them on.

"I know."

The smile was very weak, but it was the brightest smile Ichinose Chizuru had ever seen Kaede Sakakibara.

Chapter 34 Merry Christmas Eve

After chatting with the talkative colleagues, Kaede Sakakibara understood the current market conditions.

In this technologically fast-developing society, audience preferences will change over time.

For Two-dimensional novels, it is no longer enjoyable for the high school male protagonist to simply travel into a different world. Now it has evolved into a male protagonist who is disliked by his classmates after crossing, and finally abandons him to let the male protagonist fend for himself. Afterwards, the male protagonist develops quickly and returns to slap the face of retreating Liu Shuangwen.

In this season of Japanese TV dramas, there is a rebirth TV series that travels back to the past, pursues the school beauty who had a crush on but never took that step, and re-starts her life to become more perfect. After it was broadcast, it won a lot of praise. It is a TV series A dark horse in the subject matter.

Young people nowadays seem to be bored with campus themes and want to watch more exciting plots.There are not many plots where the male protagonist is deflated. The point is that it is refreshing to see the male protagonist come back and slap his face after being deflated. I have to say that both novels and TV dramas like to see such a refreshing point.

Who is the audience, what do you like to watch, what TV series are filmed, all for the ratings - the current campus life of high school students has no ups and downs, just like an ancient well, there are no ripples, no special existence, and the purpose of everything is to fit in the group.

In this case, they want to see the particularity of the male protagonist in the TV series, whether it is hairstyle or alternative personality, they can be loved by high school audiences.

"I heard that there will be a new type of TV series next spring, as well as promotional movies. If you are interested, you can pay attention to Sakakihara-san."

"Action type or?"

"An anti-routine TV series, the theme is based on the popular routines in the recent light novels, either to quit the team, or to make classmates regret it, and there are a few books that make people who once bullied themselves, but now like themselves The female voice regrets the flow of regret.”

The boy was speechless, as if he had seen a novel website in the past, which was outrageous, but at this moment he couldn't imagine what kind of hell picture it would be if these routines were substituted into modern TV dramas.

Or is the Two-dimensional novel about to be animated?Isn't this completely impossible?

"What are you talking about?" Takeda Hiroshi greeted, and squeezed in very familiarly. Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe him with a familiar attitude. He almost knows most of the actors here.

It's just that whether the other party recognizes him remains to be verified.

"Takeda, how are you doing recently?"

"Not as good as Kamen Rider."

Hiroshi Takeda raised his eyebrows, shook his head amidst the good-natured laughter of others and said, "Just kidding, just kidding, I'm still the same. The male number three who has participated in two projects this season is pretty busy."

"What subject?"

"Ham, campus youth drama." Takeda Hiroshi shrugged helplessly when he heard the question from an acquaintance, "I understand everything, I have a body shape, and the male number three played are all athletes from the sports department. To be honest, I feel that I have fallen into It is the bottleneck of actors, so I can only play the students of the sports department in the future."

"I want to try different roles in the next schedule, otherwise my career as an actor will be ruined."

"Although I want to say it's not that serious, it's really serious." Kaede Sakakibara echoed.

"Listening to what you have to say is better than listening to what you have to say."

Hiroshi Takeda cupped his hands, and he picked up the routine topic that several people had talked about before, "I feel that if these genres are light novels, there is no possibility of animation."

"You must destroy our dream, Takeda." The actor standing beside Takeda said through gritted teeth.

Sakakibara Kaede grinned, watching several actors began to pinch their shoulders and sneak attack Takeda Hiroshi, and stopped watching jokes. He is not thinking about what kind of TV series he will shoot in the spring next year, but he has to talk to Iida Kei first. Say hello.

The audience's tastes changed, and he had to start trying different types of roles.

Regarding the inquiries from the colleagues in the office about the film crew and their experience in filming Kamen Rider, Kaede Sakakihara said what he should say, and what he should not say said that he could not disclose it after signing the agreement. Granted, the smile on his face still makes people feel comfortable.

His popularity is indeed very good, it's just that he drank a lot of drinks after talking for so long, and he breathed a sigh of relief while going to the bathroom. A few times ago, I thought Gui Iida was scaremongering, but I didn't expect that he really became an affair The idol in the hearts of all actors.

After wiping his face with a wet tissue, Kaede Sakakibara rested in the bathroom for a few minutes before leaving.

With the idea of ​​blowing the wind in his heart, he walked towards the door, almost everyone arrived, and it seemed that the activity was about to start.

His eyes moved among the crowd, unexpectedly he didn't see Mai Sakurajima.

He took out his phone, opened the line, and found Mai Sakurajima's chat history. Before his fingers touched the keyboard, he patted his shoulder with one hand.

"Senior Sakakibara, Merry Christmas Eve~" Sakurajima Mai pursed her lips and smiled, she loosened the scarf around her neck, came to Sakakibara Kaede, and noticed the mobile phone screen that had not been turned off and the shaking cat pendant, "Ah Lah, is Sakakibara-senpai worried about me?"

"Merry Christmas Eve, Sakurajima-san, you don't look like someone who is late."

"When I went out, the train was already packed. I thought I couldn't get in, so I took a taxi. The traffic on the road was a bit stuck."

“Taxis in Tokyo are very expensive...”

"This amount of money is not expensive for Sakakibara-senpai." Sakurajima Mai nodded, "But I also know that it is expensive, just this time, I don't want to be late."

Sakakibara Kaede was slightly stunned, he just complained, why did Mai Sakurajima consider this sentence as his advice or instigation?

Mai Sakurajima looked at Kaede Sakakibara, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "Are we all wearing the same clothes that day?"

Sakakibara Kaede looked down at the coat he was wearing today, "I really don't have many winter clothes, and most of the advertisements I received were summer clothes. I don't think there is any shortage of Sakurajima-san's clothes, and I still wear them today. It’s that meter of sunshine from last year.”

"Senior Sakakibara, you are obviously older than me, why don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

Mai Sakurajima snorted softly, she glanced at Kaede Sakakibara, her forced indifference broke in the next second, and she showed a bright smile, "That's great."

"We're all wearing the same clothes we went shopping last year, which is really nice."

"I haven't washed this dress much, because there are fewer chances to wear it."

"Do you need me to come to your house next year as a housekeeper to wash your clothes, Sakakihara-senpai?"

"I don't think I can afford housekeeping."

Sakakibara Kaede coughed lightly, and paused the topic that sounded weird to outsiders. Sakurajima Mai saw Sakakibara Kaede shrink back and cover her mouth with a chuckle. She gestured for the gift in her hand, and quickly approached the hall, while skillfully chatting with acquaintances, actors and friends. greeting each other while placing presents under the Christmas tree.

Not long after, the lights gradually dimmed, Kaede Sakakibara stood quietly aside, and Mai Sakurajima quietly came to his side, holding a glass of juice in his hand.

"Everyone from STARS, good evening, I'm Yoshi Uehara, an actor from the agency."

Uehara Yao held a microphone in his hand, and a red Christmas hat on his head, covering his yellow hair.

"As the organizer and person in charge of this party, I hope everyone can enjoy the Christmas Eve atmosphere and have a good time tonight."

Everyone booed and applauded when they heard this, Yoo Uehara bowed pretendingly, and the Christmas hat on his head almost fell off.

There are not many overall activities tonight, only two, gift exchange and dance.There are a lot of small games, whether it is board games or flying chess, you can play at will. Obviously, he is worried that someone will leave early, so he put the gift exchange in the first round.

The dinner is naturally a buffet. Before attending the party, Uehara Yao once collected a sum of money from everyone who attended the party to rent today's venue, decorate and buy dinner in the restaurant.Although the quality is not comparable to the buffets in high-end five-star hotels, they are all home-cooked dishes. For parties, what you enjoy is the atmosphere, not the fullness.

Sakakihara Kaede wanted to eat, his eyes had already aimed at the grilled pork chop closest to him, and he could already vaguely smell that smell.

Glancing left and right, I saw many female actors and idols standing around, and a triumphant smile appeared in my heart. For them, controlling their diet is a self-requirement and constraint. Obviously, they cannot put fried pork cutlets in a bowl of.

The buffet is naturally eaten.

With the end of Yoh Uehara’s speech, everyone walked to their different seats while chatting. The gift exchange activity will start in 10 minutes. They can eat something to satisfy their hunger during this time, and those who want to leave early You can leave after finishing your meal without losing money.

"It's been a long time since I saw Sakakibara-senpai like this."

"Where is your book?" Sakakibara Kaede chewed the meat in his mouth, his voice was vague, and he couldn't even hear what he said.

Mai Sakurajima still remembers the last time I saw Sakakibara-senpai like this, it was the first time he ate at the office buffet. Everyone has been getting busier this year, meeting more in the crew than in the office There are fewer and fewer opportunities to meet and sit together in the salon and eat the high-end buffet of the firm.

"It's nothing." Sakurajima Mai inserted a vegetable into her mouth and chewed it. She felt the gaze, raised her head, and noticed the idol group of four sitting together not far away. It was Higuchi who cast her gaze. Yuan Xiang - this did not surprise her.

The eye contact between the two women was not filled with the smell of gunpowder in their hearts, but only understanding and calm, and even a wonderful softness.

After a while, Madoka Higuchi was called out by her childhood sweetheart, and she looked away.

Mai Sakurajima didn't continue to look in that direction, and began to focus on solving the salad before getting up.

After a while, it was time to receive the gifts. Since the gifts they received were completely random, everyone lined up under the Christmas tree without any utilitarianism, and the part-time staff who owned the party distributed the gifts.

What Sakakihara Kaede got was a small box. He didn’t have the habit of saving gifts at home before opening them. After unpacking the red packaging bag, what he got was an hourglass built with a golden metal frame. The sand inside was Silver gray.

It is enough as a decoration, and he will put it on the kitchen bar when he is ready to go home.

I don't know who will get his gift?

The gift distribution lasted about 10 minutes. At this time, the sky outside had completely turned dark, and some actors and idols who wanted to leave early were thinking about going home.

Snowflakes were falling again outside the window at this time. Unlike the fine snow in the afternoon, the amount of snowfall tonight was heavy. It would not take long for a thick layer of crystal-clear snow to accumulate on the ground.

Sakakibara Kaede put the hourglass in his bag, and he noticed Chizuru Ichinose standing in front of the door wearing glasses, he stepped forward two steps and asked casually, "Is Ichinose-san ready to go home?"

"Well, it's getting late, I hope the train will not be too crowded tonight."

"I'll take you to the station."

Sakakibara Kaede noticed that Ichinose Chizuru didn't bring an umbrella, so he gestured to the long-handled umbrella in his hand, "Ichinose-san, don't you want to catch a cold too?"

"Senior Sakakibara is really domineering, do I have the right to refuse?" Chizuru Ichinose tried to speak to Kaede Sakakibara in a normal tone for the first time, she opened her mouth after speaking, and immediately bowed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for getting carried away."

This Guoba Nasser's private Marseille action is bigger than those politicians and directors who apologize on TV. If she plays the apology person, maybe she can get good ratings. At this moment, Kaede Sakakibara is thinking A faux pas but a joyous affair.

"You don't need to apologize. The attitude just now was very good. It made me feel that the distance between us has been shortened a lot." Sakakibara Kaede cleared his throat and signaled Ichinose Chizuru not to continue apologizing. Others looked at her with strange eyes. to both of them.

"But you are right about one thing. You really have no right to refuse. I will send it to you."

"!"

Chizuru Ichinose was dokidoki for a moment by Kaede Sakakibara's domineering president, but when she looked at Kaede Sakakibara's side face, she found that he smiled mischievously at her, and immediately became annoyed and funny, and quickly followed the man holding the umbrella Sakakihara Maple.
