Chapter 212: Retirement
Rin Chihara is not one of those "plates" given by the "Star Reward", there are several of them in his honor cabinet, and the attraction of this thing to him is greatly reduced, and he just wants to replenish some energy potions.
Energy potion is a good thing that is difficult to produce in the stupid bird system, he has got a total of 35 before, but the work intensity of the last season is too high, and the consumption is quite a lot, after twelve weeks, there are only 16 left in his hand, and the new season is more intense, he hopes to replenish the stock, after all, the more this thing, the better - he can't wait to come a day, but unfortunately there are not so many, so he can only pick and use it, it hurts.
The Starry Stars were still held at the Koledo Grand Theater, and after walking through the red carpet, it was time to socialize, and Rin Chihara sat at the round table and didn't move much, but the people who came to pay his respects came one after another.
He is now a real power figure in the circle, controlling nearly one-third of the budget of the production bureau of the Kanto United Television Station, and he has a hard time fighting with the four major civil releases in the evening hours.
He is actually quite legendary, and many insiders want to have an in-depth relationship with him, but unfortunately he lives in a simple place on weekdays, lives an ascetic-like life, and does not hang around in Vanity Fair at all.
Even if you are familiar with him, maybe it will be useful one day!
Chihara Rin was not impatient, smiled slightly, had an excellent demeanor, and put enough money as a national teacher, and coped with it from beginning to end. As long as it doesn't involve his interests, he is generally very talkative, but as a result, people come and go around him, and a lot of business cards are collected, and it doesn't stop until the award ceremony.
"Master, please use tea. β
Michiko wore a small dress, held up a cup of tea and handed it to Rin Chihara, asking him to moisten his throat, and Rin Chihara took a sip and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous about participating in the award ceremony for the first time?"
Michiko raised her little face and smiled sweetly: "Don't be nervous, just be a photographer." After a pause, she asked expectantly, "Can you really win the award, Master?"
"Your award is definitely fine. Rin Chihara was very confident, and said with a smile: "Relax, just wait." β
This confidence is not in vain, "Homeless Child" is a ratings this season, and the final episode of the first season won 37.02% of the ratings, and Michiko's performance is even more impeccable, and the role of "Aizawa Rei" is very exciting, and the tears that deceived her are counted in tons, and now she is completely like a "national daughter".
As long as New Filmmaker magazine is not crazy, and has to think about the future and credibility of this new award, it will not go against so many audiences - the Star Award should also be ambitious, and it will definitely think about replacing the Academy Award.
Haruki Tsumura also agreed: "That's right, Michiko-chan's award must be no problem, this season's 'Best Actress Award' must be yours." β
Michiko was very clever, and immediately turned her head and smiled cutely: "Then I hope Director Tsumura can also win the award!"
Haruki Tsumura touched the sweat on her head and said with a dry smile: "Let's take a look and talk about it......"
He is the director of "Homeless Child", and there is hope, but this is the first time he has completed filming independently, and he used to work as an executive director or assistant director, in fact, he is a newcomer to the director, so from the perspective of qualifications, even if the ratings of "Homeless Child" swept this season, his chances of winning the award are not too high - according to the default rules of the Star Awards, the best script, the best director and the best work will not be given to a drama at the same time, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that he has little hope.
But he still wants to take it, this is his debut season as a director, and he can blow it for a lifetime.
Haruki Tsumura was entangled there, and Michiko looked at the stands, where the host was joking with the award presenters of the "Assistant Actress Award", and couldn't help but look at the camera and clench her little fists.
Rin Chihara looked at her, put his hand on her little head and rubbed it, and smiled, "I'll send you home later, it's okay." β
Nanbu Ryoko is definitely going to explode, and he won't let the unlucky apprentice face it alone.
Michiko turned her head and gently rubbed Chihara Rin's palm, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Master!" After a pause, she said softly: "I have always called you Master, but in fact, I should not be considered a disciple of Master, Master assigned me homework, but I have never completed it properly......"
Chihara Rin said casually: "I said it was a joke, don't care about any schoolwork...... Okay, why did you talk about this all of a sudden?"
Michiko raised her face and said seriously: "Because I still want to be a disciple of the master!"
Chihara Rin was stunned and smiled dumbly: "Don't think about it, it doesn't matter if you act or not, whether you act or not has nothing to do with whether you are my disciple or not." β
Michiko took out a thin script from her small bag, bowed her head and said, "Then I should give it to you!" Master, this is the introductory homework you assigned, and I have completed it well this time...... Sorry for the delay!"
Chihara Rin raised his eyebrows, he only gave Michiko one assignment, that is, on the first day of the apprenticeship, she asked her to finish the "Sonata for the Upside-Down Girl", and he didn't take it seriously at all, just to find an excuse to let this unlucky child play for an hour or two every day, and Michiko did write twice, but they were all coping, and in the end, the heroine Yoshino fell downstairs, her brain burst, and she died miserably.
He took the thin script and opened it casually to read it, and Michiko was trained to read the script, but how to write...... Seriously, Rin Chihara, who is incompetent as a master, has been a master for almost two years, and has not been taught at all, and Michiko still can't write, but if you want to say the level, it is probably the level of composition in the middle school, or it can be a little higher, but it is not much higher.
The script is very rough, the lines have not been refined at all, and it reads to be seriously fragmented and very detached from daily life, but this time the heroine Yoshino finally has a good ending-
Yoshino had an extraordinary talent for playing, but she couldn't stand everything that this talent imposed on her, and she was tired of being forced to practice by the people around her day after day, and finally left her seat in the middle of the German training competition and committed suicide by jumping off the building.
The actor Kuroki is also preparing to give up his piano performance career because of his poor talent, and he is trying his best to play the piano "Sonata for the Upside-Down Girl", ready to play until he makes a mistake, so that his finger is broken, and in the sound of the piano, time stands still, so that Yoshino hangs upside down in front of his window.
The two of them started a heart-to-heart conversation in the standstill of time, Kuroki asked why he committed suicide, and told him the truth, counting everything he had experienced, no effort was made for himself, all the pain came from the people around him, he felt very tired and tired, and wanted to seek a peace of his own, and Kuroki slowly understood her, and began to sympathize with her, but it was too late, and it was irreversible at all - Kuroki always had a time when he made a mistake, and when time returned to flow, Yoshino would definitely fall to his death.
Kuroki didn't want that, but when he played the song to the end, time seemed to start to flow again, and Yoshino closed his eyes peacefully, but Kuroki was stunned for less than a second, and suddenly began to play "Sonata for the Inverted Girl" backwards according to the score.
A miracle happened, the second, minute, and hour hands on the clock began to rotate in reverse, and time began to flow backwards, and soon Yoshino disappeared from the window, but Kuroki did not stop, and kept playing backwards, backwards, and playing to his full potential, trying not to make any mistakes, and just kept playing, and kept playing, and played until he was confused and disappeared......
When he woke up again, he was stunned to find that he had returned to his childhood, and everything just now was like a dream.
Time really went backwards, more than ten years, but he hesitated for a long time and still chose a piano performance career. After more than ten years, he finally became a pianist, and in between performances, he suddenly found Yoshino in the audience, meeting his gaze and showing a bright smile that he had never seen before.
A smile from the bottom of my heart!
That's all for the script, it's very badly written, there are places where the preface doesn't match the afterword, it is estimated that the audience will be stunned, but Chihara Rin feels good, closes the script and returns it to her, and says with a smile: "Full marks, continue to work hard in the future!"
Mei Qianzi took the script, looked up and asked him expectantly, "Then after today, am I still a disciple of the master?"
"Of course, if you want, you can call me Master for the rest of your life. β
"Thank you, Master!" Michiko put the script into her small bag and smiled sweetly: "As long as you don't dislike me, I will be your disciple for the rest of my life!"
Rin Chihara rubbed her little head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not make such a bloody mess, and we are not filming a TV series, so watch the awards ceremony carefully." β
"Yes, Master!" Michiko replied obediently and set her eyes on the award ceremony, but she didn't feel bloody. She still wants to stay by Chihara Rinto's side, and she doesn't want to alienate the master who saved her in the dark hour after returning to seclusion, and now she finally lets go, and her little heart is full of security.
At this time, the awards ceremony has been completed, "Assistant Actress Award", "Leading Actor Award", the former has nothing to do with the team of Rin Chihara, they don't have an outstanding supporting actress this season, and the actor in the latter "Xiangba" won the title, but he didn't win, and it was a big-production new drama of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB - there are five dramas under the name of Rin Chihara in the summer file, and he has won a number of titles for this season's Star Awards, many of which are still infighting, but it is impossible to give all the awards to a TV station if you think about it with your ass, so in addition to " Homeless Little Girl", the rest are basically running along.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that the ratings of dramas such as "Xiang Bang" have not become popular, and these dramas generally have a rating of 22%-24%, which is considered an okay result, but it is not good to win awards.
Subsequently, the "Assistant Actor Award" was won by the second male in "The Lawyer in Gold", which was considered to have brought a good start to Chihara Rinto's team, and then came to one of the highlights of the "Leading Actress Award" - the heroine in the five dramas won the title, but with the sound of drums from slow to fast, the final answer was revealed, and Michiko won the first acting award in her life with her excellent acting skills.
In the midst of a round of applause, Rin Chihara also applauded, and Michiko stood up and bowed deeply to him before walking towards the podium.
The host of the award ceremony also liked her appearance, and the hostess also reached out to hug her and sighed: "Michiko-chan is really exquisite, I really want to snatch it home!"
The male host wiped the non-existent tears from his eyes and said in a deep voice: "When I saw Michiko-chan, I remembered Rei Aizawa, it's so distressing." β
Mei Qianzi smiled sweetly and stretched out her little hand in front of him: "Sympathize with me, give me money!"
The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic, and laughter came out, and the hostess was very cooperative, and had already begun to make a gesture to grab the male host's wallet, and after Michiko played tricks on the male host, she quickly received the "plate" from the award presenter, and it was time for the testimonial - she had two minutes to say whatever she wanted to say.
She took the microphone, held the "plate", looked around the stage, and her eyes fell on the face of Rin Chihara, who smiled and nodded at her gently.
She gave Rin Chihara a big smile in return, and then looked away, bowed deeply to the audience, and said, "I'm really super happy to win this award." When I was very young, my mother wanted me to stand on this stage one day and win an award, and she used to describe to me the scene when I won the award again and again, and it was very similar to today......"
She raised the "plate" with one hand with some difficulty, and said: "Look, Mom, I finally got it, thank you for all these years of hard work, this should actually belong to you." β
The applause from the audience rang out, a little messy, mainly because Michiko's speech was a bit unconventional, under normal circumstances, the first thing to thank should not be her mother, but the producer, director, screenwriter and others, and Michiko ignored it, hugged the plate to her chest again, and continued: "I will bring this trophy back to you, and then ...... I'm going to retire!"
The applause in the audience stopped, and everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was going onβyou're just starting out in your career, aren't you? You're only twelve?
Michiko didn't mention how painful it was to be her mother's puppet to realize her dreams, nor did she mention that acting swallowed up her entire childhood life, she didn't come to seek sympathy, let alone blame her mother, those are in the past, accusing her mother of using her can't change anything, what she needs more is a new life.
She just came to announce that she was going to say goodbye to the show, only by saying it here, there was no possibility of repentance in a short time, and her mother had to accept it if she didn't accept it!
In a certain silence, she bowed her head again and said: "I'm sorry to announce this here, but I'm really happy to get this award, I hope everyone can believe it! Thank you to Miss Murakami and Director Tsumura, I can't realize my dream without them, and thank you to all the staff of the crew, thank you for supporting me to get this award......"
Michiko thanked everyone seriously, but she didn't mention the name of Rin Chihara, she didn't want to have anything to do with Rin Chihara in front of the public - it was her own decision, Rin Chihara just helped her achieve it.
She was only twelve years old, but she knew what she wanted!
In the end, she thanked her, felt relaxed, and showed a super cute smile, and the audience finally digested the news that she was going to retire, and the whispering sounded, and the male host also reacted, hurriedly rounded the field, stopped her who was about to slip off the stage, and asked urgently: "Mei Qianzi-chan, why do you want to retire?"
Michiko winked playfully: "Because I'm still young, I have to study!"
This is absolutely politically correct, no one dares to say in front of the public that learning is not important, the male host was speechless for a while, and the female host hurriedly followed, pretending to be relaxed and asked: "Michiko-chan is going to get better and come back?"
Michiko looked at Rin Chihara under the lookout and compared scissor hands to the camera: "Maybe!"
After speaking, she stepped off the stage with brisk steps, completely ignoring how the two hosts rounded this out. There is no loss of starry rewards, she announced her retirement here is very topical, adding a little trouble to the host is nothing, let alone a broadcast accident, and this is also agreed by Chihara Rinren.
From this moment on, she is free and can live for herself!
