Rin Chihara thought that "The House at the End of the Slope" would be very dull as a low-budget art film, but he didn't expect the quality to be unexpectedly good.

The film revolves around a cheap apartment building in the slums, telling the drunken dreams and ups and downs of a group of small people behind the bubble era, and presents a gray tone as a whole.

Michiko plays the daughter of a dancer in the film, well-behaved and sensible to the point of being pitiful, a little pistachio in the apartment, the only bright color in the gray tone, and in the end, her death makes the film even more gray, which enhances the style and makes people feel extremely heavy.

Rin Chihara was also forced into this movie-watching atmosphere, and she really wanted to make friends with this director, and she felt that Michiko really had the potential to break out in this industry, and it was no wonder that Nanbu Ryoko had high hopes for her - she belonged to the kind of little genius who really had acting talent, and she was definitely the best among her peers.

It's a pity that this unlucky apprentice is bent on being a salted fish, otherwise Rin Chihara would have wanted to tailor a film for her.

Good actors are actually hard to find, which can be regarded as a kind of hunting joy.

After the more than 80-minute film was screened, the lights in the screening hall were turned on, and the filmmakers and actors sitting in the first row turned around and bowed to the audience, and the audience spontaneously applauded.

Rin Chihara also applauded lightly, admitting that this is an excellent literary film, and the box office may not be too high, but the reputation is definitely good. Before the second time, the Holy Son and the mountain god Aiko had red eyes, and after reading it, they were quite moved, and they wiped their tears while applauding, but Nishino Fog Yarn didn't care, and they were still smiling.

After the film was screened, it was the premiere thank-you meeting, friends came to support, help with publicity, the producer naturally wanted to entertain it, and quickly invited the industry insiders, film critics and reporters who came to the show to the multi-purpose hall of a nearby hotel, held a cold lunch, and in a blink of an eye, it became a social occasion in the circle - many people attended the premiere, mainly for this, you can communicate more with your peers, and expand your contacts by the way.

Naturally, Rin Chihara was also invited, even if he came to support the heavier one today, and the three of Yamagami Aiko followed him, and they were very curious about the first time they participated in this kind of occasion, and they ate something by the way - the three of them went crazy every day when they were alone, but they were very educated to guard outsiders, and they could be said to be three little ladies.

Chihara Rin told them not to separate or run around, and went straight to the director's set, but there were also many people who wanted to get close to him, and as a result, they spent a long time chatting, and when he came back, he found that Michiko was holding a glass of juice and chatting with the three of Yamagami Aiko.

He praised Michiko directly: "The acting is good, very successful." ”

Michiko smiled back, and immediately bowed slightly: "It's all Master, you taught it well." ”

Rin Chihara couldn't help laughing, he hadn't taught Michiko anything except for playing games, so he really didn't dare to take the credit, so he directly changed the topic and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Michiko said with a smile, "I'm talking about Aiko's sister's sister, Miss Hakuba." ”

Chihara Rin suddenly became interested, feeling that this unlucky apprentice was really intimate, and immediately said: "You also call Sister Ningzi, and she and I are also friends." ”

"Yes, Master. Mei Qianzi responded, looked at the three of them again, and continued the topic just now, "I really want to know this Sister Ningzi, I know that she is a very gentle and considerate person when I hear you." ”

She is small but complex, and her acting skills are excellent, and she is still very good at fooling people unintentionally, such as Murakami Iori likes her very much - when Michiko pretends to be, she is indeed very likable.

Aiko of the mountain god immediately said happily: "Then you can go and play with us when you have time in the future, and Sister Ningzi will definitely like you very much." ”

Mei Qianzi responded in one bite, "I will definitely go in the future, but what does Sister Ningzi like?"

"No need to bring gifts. Aiko of the mountain god waved her hand, but she still told the truth, "Sister Ningzi has a very light temperament, and she doesn't seem to have anything she particularly likes, if you have to say that she wants it, it's flowers and plants, right?"

"Do you like to raise flowers?"

"yes, she has several pots of flowers, which are in her room, but I can't tell what they are. ”

Mei Qianzi also just met them, and she is not familiar enough to get to the point of directly getting to the bottom of it, so she can only start from the little things in her daily life, and slowly go deeper, Chihara Rin is next to her ears and listens, understanding some of the daily habits and preferences of Hakuma Ningzi, and I feel that I have benefited a lot, but it's a pity that Michiko is busy today, and she was called away after just a little chat, and she needs to thank the other guests, which makes Chihara Rin disappointed.

So there were only four of them left here, and Qianyuan Rin could only go on by himself, and while drinking something, he asked unintentionally: "By the way, I haven't asked all along, what are you Sister Ningzi's family doing." ”

This is one of the things he cares about the most recently, second only to the ratings of "Naoki Hanzawa".

Nishino Kimisa glanced at him eating the cake, smiled and didn't say anything, and Yamagami Aiko felt that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so she said directly: "Sister Ningzi's family runs the temple. ”

"Temple?"

"yes, you kept corresponding, didn't she tell you? ”

Residence is an official position in the previous feudal era, in fact, it is the temple host, this Chihara Rin people know, but I never expected to ask such a shocking news casually - is my father-in-law a monk?

He hesitated and asked, "Is it a monk?"

"Yes, of course it's the monks who run the temple. ”

Rin Chihara was stunned when he heard this, this is really a monk!

Then he reacted that the monks of this country are different from other countries, and the monks of this country can get married, have children, and eat meat and drink wine - there are historical reasons for this.

In modern times, these people seriously affected the centralization of the government, and the government began to deliberately suppress the power of Buddhism, and at the same time it was an effort to support Shinto to expand the power of the shrine, and at the same time, it also promulgated the "ban on eating wives with meat", announcing that "monks will obey themselves in the future, whether they are growing hair, marrying wives, having children, eating wine and meat."

In order to consolidate the ban on eating wives and wives, the government also stipulated that the status of monks could be inherited, and if a monk broke his vows and gave birth to a son, his son could inherit his father's business and become a professional monk and enjoy certain social privileges. Although Japanese Buddhism was very resistant to this decree at first, it was later ...... It's hard to resist this thing of human nature, especially when there is a legitimate excuse.

As a result, the monks gradually became secularized, and began to slowly divide the industry - there were more children, the eldest son inherited most of them, and other children had to share more or less, which was inevitable, and as a result, there was no threat to the centralization of the government.

Chihara Rin could guess that Hakuma Ningzi might have a good background, but she really didn't expect that she would be the daughter of a monk, this life experience is a bit strange, and after thinking about it, he hesitated and asked, "Is the temple not doing well? Why did she come to your house to stay?"

I feel that Bai Ma Ningzi is very poor, and she is doing odd jobs as housewives......

Yamagami Aiko didn't think it was a big deal, and after many persuasions from two friends, she also felt that Chihara and Hakuba were adults, and they must have their own ideas, and it was not good for her to intervene, plus her impression of Chihara Rin had also changed recently, so she didn't plan to try to obstruct it anymore, and now it's very happy to talk about these things that don't involve Hakuma Ningzi's privacy.

"This is the tradition of the Hakuba family, when the children reach a certain age, they will leave the house, try to support themselves, and at the same time look around outside, and when they have seen the world and realized the suffering of the world, they will go back to inherit the family business when they can take care of it, and they will no longer go out with peace of mind, and run the temple in a down-to-earth manner. After she finished speaking, she said with some amusement: "Teacher Qianyuan doesn't think that Sister Ningzi's family is particularly poor, don't underestimate the temple, her family is very rich, and our mountain god family is just a poor relative of the White Horse family." ”

Chihara Rin didn't care about the wealth of the Hakuba family, and was taken aback again: "She will inherit the family business?"

"Yes, Sister Ningzi is the only daughter of the generation of the White Horse family, of course she has to inherit the family business. ”

"How did she inherit the family business, when she was ...... Be a nun?"

"Where do you think of it, she recruited a son-in-law to inherit the family business!" Aiko Yamagami rolled her eyes, "Isn't this a common thing?"

Chihara Rin was speechless, it turned out that if you marry Baima Ningzi, you have to be a monk!

For a moment, he was a little shaken, people like him can't talk about religious beliefs, so he went to become a monk, that ...... It's a bit unacceptable.

Aiko Yamagami gloated a little and said, "Teacher Chihara wants to pursue Sister Ningzi, then if you succeed, we will have to call you Master Chihara in the future." "You don't need to be involved in inheriting the temple, it's just that the eldest son or eldest daughter will be surnamed Baima in the future, but it is inevitable to be a monk, at least to be able to pass on the position of residence to future generations.

You really think that you don't have to pay the price to like Sister Ningzi, it's so beautiful!

The smile on Chihara Rinto's face was gone, and the second saint son was a little unbearable to see it before, so he hurriedly said: "Chihara sensei, don't listen to Aiko, you can also write scripts when you become a monk, many small temple residents work in the company during the day, and only operate temples at night, it won't affect your career, you can rest assured." ”

Chihara Rin glanced at her speechlessly, this night to be a monk...... I can't stand it either!
