It's okay not to ask, but when he asked, Watanabe Manyumi took the opportunity to throw the ball to him, "Do you have any thoughts about this?"

Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't catch the ball, "I'm ashamed, I know very little about actors." "However, I can tell you about the direction I chose as an actor in my mind." ”

Watanabe Manyumi threw him a "go on" look.

"As long as it's not a spoof, when choosing an actor who dresses as a man or a woman, the first thing to put is naturally to be delicate and slender. ...... If you see Ken-san Takakura's female outfit, you won't think it's appropriate, right?" Shinichi Iwahashi obeyed.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled at his words and couldn't help but stare at his face again and again.

"However, Qingxiu is only basic. ”

Accepting this mysterious gaze from Watanabe Manyumi, Iwahashi Shinichi continued, "There is a misconception that the essence of masquerading as a woman is femininity. Therefore, the important things are ignored instead. ”

Watanabe was a little interested, "Oh?"

"If the hero's mom is transgender because of gender dysphoria, it's much simpler. However, although she changed from a male to a female and lived as a woman, she was not completely female, but rather androgynous. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi expressed his opinion, "So, if it's up to me to choose an actor, I have to choose an actor who has a good relationship with women and understands women's hearts, and it would be better if I had a romantic private life." ”

Watanabe Manyumi listened attentively.

Such a person, although he understands a woman's heart, is still masculine. And the mother of the male protagonist in the book, the 'woman' she becomes, is actually masculine. ”

Therefore, the female form figured out by the actor who understands the heart of a woman is about the form of the male protagonist's mother.

"Interesting. Watanabe Manyumi nodded, wanting to say something, but seeing that Shinichi Iwahashi still had something to say, he held back again.

"If that's the case, kabuki actors are actually very suitable. Iwahashi Shinichi said his thoughts in one breath, "There is no Kabuki who has a bad relationship with a woman and is not romantic enough." ”

"Definitely. Watanabe smiled.

Merry is a compulsory course for Kabuki actors.

An actor from a Kabuki family, who lives with someone else in a daily married state, first gets an illegitimate child when he is unmarried, and all kinds of mess. However, instead of being considered abnormal, this kind of amorous affair is tolerated.

There is a saying that it sounds quite mysterious, which is that Kabuki actors perform the joys and sorrows of the world on the stage, so in order to better enter the play, you must experience the practice while you are young, and the romance is to experience life.

To roll around in the women's pile, this kind of thing is done by kabuki actors, and that is practice.

As for the wife of Liyuan, who was left at home, of course, she fully supported her husband's "work". To marry into a Kabuki family is not something that ordinary people can do.

Learning to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle doesn't count, you have to be innocent and have a decent family background. Then you must give up your career to teach your husband and children, and you have to go all out to have a son, because Kabuki should be passed on to men and not to women.

"So, how about choosing from among the Kabuki actors?" said Shinichi Iwahashi, "Kabuki actors also go to film and television dramas in order to practice their acting skills." ”

After all, he really only knows this bit of gossip about Kabuki.

It's really a gossip magazine that's too exciting, and it's a great weapon to kill time.

Hearing him say this, Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "I'm pretty much the same as you think." ”

Previously, she gave up directly using an actress to play the role, thinking that the actress's performance was missing something. After thinking about it for a long time, she realized that the reason why she felt this way was not because the actress was unnatural, but because it was too natural.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to say it first?" Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled. I thought she didn't have a clue, but now it seems that she has long been confident and is playing cards with him.

Watanabe Manyumi is at ease, "But, you think so too, I have enough confidence." ”

"Haha!"

"However, my preference is not a kabuki actor. Dealing with Kabuki actors is a bit complicated. Watanabe Manyumi told him, "He is an actor who acts in popular dramas." ”

The so-called popular drama, as the name suggests, is aimed at the public and is performed in a small theater, and the audience is the ordinary people in the market and the general people who go to relax after a day of work.

Ticket prices are cheap, and there are no restrictive viewing rules.

In contrast to the famous kabuki that had to be performed on the Kashiwagi stage, although their predecessors were only folk theaters made by Edo merchants, the popular theater was actually entertainment for the common people, although they also wore kimonos and imitated the performance process of kabuki.

The family of Kabuki is a wealthy family, and the family of popular drama is a civilian entertainer who inherits his father's business.

"This actor is the most outstanding among the actors who act in popular dramas. "Watanabe Manyumi said," said Tomio Umezawa of the Asakusa Umezawa Theater Company. ”

Rich and beautiful man...... That's a pretty good name.

"Umezawa-san's female performance is the culmination of popular drama. He himself worked hard to figure out the words, deeds and psychology of women, and he also left a story of being regarded as a stalker because he was too engrossed, and asked the observed woman to call the police. ”

"It's weird to be stared at hard, isn't it weird that he's a pervert?"

Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "I want to ask Umezawa-san to try this role." "However, although it is a popular drama, Umezawa-san is also a leader in it, and I tried to ask him through his office once before, but it seems that he is not very interested in acting in movies." ”

"But, at least give it a try. She said, "It is said that Ishihara-san and Umezawa-san have been friends for many years, and I want to ask him for help." ”

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "It turned out to be 'planned'. ”

The Cosmos Theater Company is quite famous in Kansai, and Ishihara is a playwright to which the troupe belongs, and he also serves as a director of the troupe. After making a reservation in advance, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe were taken to Ishihara's lounge at the back of the theater.

Ishihara is about fifty years old, with two deep nasolabial folds on his face, wearing round-framed glasses, and a face that is not different from what he imagined, and often thinking about hard work.

Watanabe Manyumi and Ishihara saw the ceremony, and introduced Shinichi Iwahashi to him.

Afterwards, the three of them sat down on the sofa in the lounge together, and Ishihara called to order tea.

Watanabe Manyumi and Ishihara met for the first time, and when they opened their mouths, they naturally started by greeting their elders. After chatting a few words, I heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in. Ishihara commanded.

The sound of the paper door opening almost at the same time as the words fell, and a little boy came in from outside.
