Chapter Twenty-Six: I Want to Get Ahead

This passer-by looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old, probably not long after graduating from high school, obviously just stepping into society, as if he really doesn't know much about those flies and dogs, he really comes to express his gratitude, and he is very simple.

Seeing her go so happily, Chihara Rin looked at the bean bag and felt a little ashamed that he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He is still a bit of a college student in nature, although he has gone through a certain amount of social training and seems to be more mature, but in fact, he still hasn't been able to practice to be hard-hearted, and his face is not thick enough.

He thought for a moment and stopped the drama spirit, Wen Yan asked, "Don't worry, I don't know your name yet, can you tell me?"

It's so simple, it feels less than a panda, maybe I should help her wake up.

When the passer-by heard this, he sat back respectfully, bowed his head and said, "It's rude, I forgot to introduce myself...... That's my name is Hitomi Konoe, I'm 19 years old, from a small fishing village in Tokushima, Shikoku, the second daughter in the family, I only came to Tokyo in November this year, and I just joined TEB's passerby actor class, so I ask you to take care of it in the future. ”

Chihara Rin searched through the memory fragments, and it felt as if he was talking about Tokushima Prefecture in his original world, that is, the most famous poor prefecture on Shikoku Island- It is said that in ancient times, Shikoku Island was called Nankaido, but later the four families fought on the island for many years, played a dog brain, and also sandwiched a bunch of dog blood, the process can shoot ten big river dramas, far-reaching influence, since then it has been commonly known as Shikoku Island, and it is relatively remote and barren, it is a place where chickens do not fly, dogs do not jump, rabbits do not, and ordinary people will not choose there when traveling to Japan.

Shikoku Island is poor enough, and Tokushima is claimed to be the poorest place in Shikoku, so it must be really poor, so is this a trip to a big city to work?

It's normal to think about it, and there are a bunch of people in Huaxia who really want to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to try it, right? If they wore back to Huaxia in '94, they would definitely run there.

He asked again, "Then why do you want to be an actor?"

Konoe Hitomi has a pair of black and white eyes, it doesn't look like he's deeply involved in the world, it's very simple, and he speaks very straightforwardly: "I want to get ahead, I want people in my hometown to know that I'm good!"

Then she explained in detail: "When I left my hometown, they all laughed at me, saying that I would have to go back in ashes if I didn't last a year, and I didn't want them to laugh at me!

Rin Chihara was stunned: "Sea Lady?"

"Yes, it's ama, my grandmother is ama, my mother is ama, my sister is also ama, they also want me to be ama, but I don't like the sea, and I don't like fish, so I want to be an actor. ”

Rin Chihara scratched his eyebrows, feeling that this logical chain was weird, but it didn't seem to be wrong, and did your family use to be engaged in such an ancient profession?

No wonder you call yourself the "daughter of the sea", I thought you had read too many mermaid fairy tales, but I didn't expect it to be true, and no wonder you are so good at water, a fierce man can pierce half a river - for the ama, the river is a bathtub, right?

Many people may not have heard of the profession of ama, but this profession is really ancient, and the history of the examination is more than 2,000 years, and all countries have it, and it is also called "Shu", "Shunu", "Shulao", "Qiannu", "Qiannu", "Baishuilang" - it is suspected that it is from Quanzhou, China, so the word "Quan" is taken apart to be called.

And "Shu" through "Tan", the people of this book and the Chinese Tan people are very similar in all aspects, half of the sea and half of the mountains, with the boat as their home, to the sea to eat, and also believe in the dragon god, so some people say that the ancestors of the sea lady of the book are all from Quanzhou in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but there is no archaeological evidence to prove this, after so long no one can tell.

Could it be that he is half a fellow?

Chihara Rin looked at Konoe Hitomi a few times, and found that she didn't look like a fellow countryman at all, just a standard Japanese-style beautiful girl, or a poor type, and directly gave up this inexplicable idea.

The profession of the sea lady mainly depends on diving into the depths of the seabed and fishing for seafood to make a living, such as jellyfish, kelp, coral, and more expensive such as pearl oysters, lobsters, abalone, once prosperous, and it is not only women who can do it, but because men are more reckless and easy to be dangerous, and generally women are in the vast majority.

But this line is basically extinct by 2019, mainly because of the development of science and technology, the seafood breeding industry, the fishing industry has squeezed out the profit margins of this industry, and the profit margins of this industry have been squeezed out.

Rin Chihara felt that Hitomi Konoe was right to want to change careers, but it was really unrealistic for her to choose the job of an actress.

Her own appearance is not very up to standard, and even if she does, being an actor is not the profession that ordinary people imagine to be done in front of the camera - everything seems easier said than done.

There are generally dozens or hundreds of people on the set, as soon as the scene board rings, dozens of pairs of eyes full of scrutiny waiting to find fault stare at it, and the director is even more eyeing and ready to eat people, anyone who has not received professional training is basically impossible to maintain a natural and relaxed state, will be emotionally nervous, stiff limbs, and even excessive adrenaline secretion, the mind begins to be confused, the movements are deformed, the speech is slurred, and the speech is upside down.

Of course, there is nothing to be ashamed of for ordinary people, this is a defensive psychology that normal people naturally have, but actors can't have this, and they must break it through rigorous training.

As soon as the scene board sounds, the actor can splash and roll in front of dozens of people, cry, laugh, calm and stunned under the watchful eyes of passers-by, and can crawl around on all fours at the request of the director, playing a dog like a dog, pretending to be a cat like a cat - this is the so-called being able to immediately put into the role, be able to let go, and dare to act.

In addition, even ordinary speech needs to be trained by actors, at least to achieve strong pronunciation, standard pronunciation, and natural tone.

Although most people feel good about themselves, when they really read a line and record it, they often have problems such as too fast speech, local accents, saving words, distorting intonation, and lack of emotional expression.

Just like Hitomi Konoe, she obviously feels super good about herself now, eager to try, and extremely expressive, but if she really reads the lines, it is estimated that the audience on Shikoku Island does not sound like a big problem, but the audience in Hokkaido has to frown together, and it is even possible that some sentences cannot be understood.

Not to mention that when reading the lines, you have to match the character's psychological state, whether it is sweet or greasy, angry or cold, without training, it is also a question of whether it can be conveyed.

So, it's really not that Rin Chihara is underestimating her, it's definitely okay for her to be a personal background board now, but give her a C position or a high-role supporting role, she can be scolded to death by the director on the set, and even she stood in front of the camera and found that the forty or fifty staff members on the opposite side were staring at her, and their attention was all on her, which was completely different from stealing the scene, and the whole person was immediately stunned, and it was not impossible to directly leave a lifelong psychological shadow.

For the sake of the face of the six bean bags, Rin Chihara kindly persuaded him: "It's okay if you don't want to be a sea girl, but the actor industry is really not easy, have you considered doing anything else?"

The guard Hitomi straightened his waist, his expression was serious, and he said vigorously: "No!"

Rin Chihara is speechless, are you stupid? It's good to have a clear goal, but you also have to think about the reality and determine if there is any hope that this goal will be achieved!

It's nice to aspire to build a skyscraper, but if you don't even lay the foundation, what's the use of building a wall even if you try your best?

Konoe Hitomi saw that he didn't speak, as if he was worried that his determination was not obvious enough, so he thought about it and added: "I will work hard, as long as I work hard, I will definitely succeed!"

Rin Chihara was even more speechless, although passerby actors did have a fight to break out of the encirclement, but that kind of one in a million! They are all passerby actors, while repeatedly pondering and thinking about acting skills, and then breaking through their psychological defense instincts by audition one by one, and finally having luck to succeed - just repeatedly going to auditions is very torturous, trying hard again and again, being denied again and again, the inner pain is very much, and no big heart can't get through it at all.

He didn't want to persuade him, and when it came to it, she would let her head be iron, but he looked at the six bean bags on the table, thought about her character, and then looked at her energetic face, and sighed: "You have no professional training in acting, it is very difficult to do this business, I suggest you ...... first"

Before he finished speaking, Hitomi Konoe said happily, "I've trained!"

"Huh?"

"I'm self-taught, I can cry when I say I can, and I've been reading New Filmmaker magazine lately, so I'm very well versed in acting theory. "Konoe Hitomi is really expressive, worthy of the name of the actor, rubbed his eyes hard, tears came out, and he directly pasted his face.

Rin Chihara was silent again, and there was a rare sense of powerlessness - bastard, this special thing doesn't even count as an actor's basic skills!

In the face of this fool, he really wanted to pick up a bean bag and throw it on her head, but fortunately, when facing the disadvantaged groups, he generally had a very good attitude, stretched out his hand to stop her "performance", and seriously explained to her what acting is and what are the most basic conditions for being an actor.

Konoe Hitomi was stunned when she listened, she dropped out of school in her second year of high school and went home to receive sea girl training, the cultural level is not high, and the small fishing village in her hometown is honest, the information is quite closed, her second year of college is considered a cultural person in the village, and she can only rely on the three TVs in the village to receive information from the outside world.

She has liked to watch TV since she was a child, and she is very envious of the people on TV, often imitated in the village, and when she is older, she is determined to appear on TV, so that the people in the village who laugh at her are impressed, but no one has ever told her in such detail how to appear on TV.

After listening to it, she stayed for a long time, and then muttered: "Ah, it turns out that being an actor is so exquisite?"

Rin Chihara nodded lightly: "Yes, this is a highly professional job that requires a lot of effort, and even if you pay a lot, the chances of being a good person are very slim, because you will find countless people who are more talented than you and work harder than you, and even these people have better luck than you, so I don't recommend you to choose to become an actor...... Well, where do you work now?"

As a passerby actor, she can't survive in Tokyo, she must have a part-time job, maybe that's what she really likes to do.

"I'm killing fish at Akashi Pier. ”

"Kill fish, don't you like fish?" Chihara Rin remembered, the last time I saw this guy was on the way to deliver fish, that is, to deliver it to the door after killing?

Konoe Hitomi sighed: "It's very annoying, but I can only kill fish, and I can kill quickly and well, and the salary is relatively high, so I can only do that, otherwise I can't even afford to rent a house." ”

"Is it a long-term job?"

"No, I just don't have any money, so I'll go there and do odd jobs. ”

Chihara Rin scratched his eyebrows, feeling that it would be a bit troublesome, and after thinking about it, he asked, "After listening to what I said, do you still have to insist on being an actor? You don't even have the most basic conditions for an actor now......

Konoe Hitomi didn't even hesitate, making Chihara Rin feel that his bitter words just now were just a string of farts - she nodded vigorously: "I think, I'm going to be on TV, I'm going to be out of the ground." ”

Rin Chihara sighed, and could only continue to give advice, "Then you don't want to be so messy and do things in a planned way." If I were you, I would first find a way to find a stable job, get a stable income, and then sign up for a more professional acting class, and at the same time learn the standard language, your accent is a bit heavy, this must be changed, and then the fitness diet to lose weight and slim face also keep up......"

He is a person with a strong sense of planning, and when it comes to plans, he is the first to go, and the dopamine secretion is accelerated, which feels a little cool, but Hitomi Konoe scratches his head and interrupts him in confusion: "That, how to find a stable job?"

Rin Chihara was stuck, he forgot that he was in the Great Depression now, and he, a traveler, almost vomited blood when looking for a job, not to mention this native sea lady reserve.

He went back and thought about it again, feeling that this question was a bit difficult, and then he suddenly heard a belly sound, and when he looked up, he saw that Konoe Hitomi looked innocent - it was almost eight o'clock, and it was normal for his stomach to ring.

Rin Chihara sighed and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat first." ”

It's really unlucky, not only do I have to be a free career counselor, but I also have to take care of a meal, I am really a good person in the tenth world - he is a guest when he comes to the door, he also wants face, I am embarrassed to pretend not to hear, and I am embarrassed to drive her away, so I can only take care of the food.

The bad guy also took out all the money to buy six bean bags to thank him, or to be righteous and brave for the little heroine, this sincerity is very rare in this indifferent society, and it must be respected!
