Chapter 18 The "Warm" Entertainment Industry
On the morning of May 20, Lin Hai and Akimi Oshima returned to Tokyo in the dust. I went home and took a shower, and I didn't care about resting, and then I rushed to Osaka non-stop.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two came to Kansai TV in Ogimachi, Kita-ku, Osaka.
The main filming location of "GTO" was in Tokyo, but Kansai TV was the producer, so the preliminary work such as casting and audition was still carried out in Osaka.
Maybe Kansai TV wants to show off their new headquarters?
Looking at this building made of blocks, Lin Hai wanted to complain - the designer of this building is afraid that he has traveled from "Minecraft"!
I hope the heads of the people inside are not so square.
……
After waiting for a while in the lobby on the first floor of the TV station, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi and his agent arrived.
Ikeuchi's agent is about forty years old, and he feels a lot like the middle-aged version of Nobita - in short, it's a good bully.
"This is my agent, Mr. Nobita Kojima. Mr. Kojima, this is Kai, and this is his agent, Miss Akimi Oshima......"
Ikeuchi said, and couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Hai also wanted to laugh, but was glared at by Xiaomei Oshima, so he had to hold his stomach and hold back.
Akimi Oshima, Nobita Kojima, these two agents get together, no matter gender, name or personality, they are full of contrasts and cuteness.
Looking at the restrained and shy Nobita Kojima, Lin Hai really couldn't understand how his character became an agent.
……
The audition was arranged to be held in the small conference hall on the second floor, probably the actors were almost booked, and there were very few people who came to audition.
In addition to Lin Hai and his party, there were only two men and two women in the corridor, one of whom was obviously an agent, and the other two, judging from their age, were about the same as Lin Hai.
Ikeuchi is a self-acquaintance, and he leaned in to greet the two.
The girl climbed on Ikeuchi's shoulder like a little sister, and said with a big grin: "I know you, your name is Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, right? I'm Aimi Nakamura, please give me more advice in the future!"
Her tone was confident, as if she was sure that she would be chosen.
The boy looked unconfident.
He glanced at Ikeuchi, then quickly lowered his head and stumbled, "I'm Oguri...... Oguri, please advise me......"
……
Looking at the two people full of contrasts, Lin Hai secretly praised, amazing!
What I saw in front of me was obviously not the real character of the two, but what they played, among which Oguri Shun worked particularly hard, probably because of Lin Hai's appearance that put pressure on him.
Is this guy stupid?
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, he was so handsome, how could he play "Qi Bao"?
Lin Hai introduced himself lightly: "Lin Hai (Hayashi-Kai), you can call me Hai." ”
When the words landed, the smell of gunsmoke in the corridor suddenly disappeared.
Four people, each with their own goals, do not conflict with each other, and can be friends.
"Your target is Yoshito Kikuchi?" asked Oguri curiously.
"yes. ”
"Oh......" Oguri Shun hesitated for a moment and reminded, "I heard that the director has already chosen a ...... in mind"
"It's not finalized yet. ”
Lin Haihai has watched "GTO" all his life, and he knows that the actor of Yoshito Kikuchi is Yosuke Kurotsuka, but now that he is here, he can only say sorry.
……
After a while, a few more young men came, each with a comic, apparently sharpening their guns.
Akimi Oshima took out the notebook she bought in the morning from her bag and asked, "Don't look at it again?" Akimi Oshima felt that Lin Hai needed to make up for it more, he just flipped through the manga cursory on the Shinkansen, and Akimi Oshima wasn't even sure if he remembered the names of the main characters in it.
"No, it's all here. ”
Lin Hai pointed to his head and said.
No one in this world is more familiar with this manga than him, even the author Fujisawa Hen is no exception, after all, this set of comics will not be completed until 2002, and Lin Hai has not only read the full set of comics, but also more than one adaptation.
……
As he spoke, the door to the conference room opened, and a young man walked out with a dejected expression.
"Next, Aimi Nakamura. ”
A woman who looked like an assistant, holding a list, shouted.
Aimi Nakamura answered and walked into the conference room.
The female assistant brought the door and asked the new actor to register his name, and then stepped back.
The middle-aged man who was standing with Oguri Shun before was comforting the young man with a bitter face at this moment.
Lin Hai leaned over to Oguri Shun and asked, "That person is not your agent?"
"It's 'our'. Oguri explained, "We are newcomers, and it is impossible for the firm to arrange an exclusive agent for us. Aren't you different?"
"Well, my situation is a bit peculiar. Lin Hai touched his nose and said, "I haven't joined the firm yet." ”
As soon as these words came out, the agents present turned their eyes to him, and the eagerness in their eyes made the temperature in the corridor rise rapidly.
Oguri's agent can't care about comforting the artist in his hand. He hurriedly stepped forward, took out his business card and respectfully handed it over: "First time we met, I am Yuji Tokura of Sansheng Entertainment, is Lin Jun interested in joining Sansheng Entertainment?"
Several other brokers also came up one after another, handing over business cards and checking accounts for "checking accounts".
No wonder they are so excited, it is really Lin Hai's foundation is too good, I thought he had joined the firm, but I didn't expect that there was no owner!
If you pull him into your own office, it should be considered a performance, right?
Lin Hai felt like Tang Sanzang surrounded by monsters, unable to cope with the enthusiasm of these people, so he released a distress wave to the "senior brother".
Xiaomei Oshima stepped forward unhurriedly and helped Lin Hai relieve the siege-
"Hai is ready to join Ai Hui. ”
A basin of cold water poured down by Xiaomi Oshima, and the enthusiasm of the agents was suddenly extinguished, Ai Hui is a big company, and their small firm can't afford to fight and dare not fight.
There are also those who do not believe in evil.
Yuji Tokukura said, "Isn't Ai Hui a music company? I mean, it may be unbeatable in the music field, but in the performance field, it is not professional enough. Since you will come to the audition, it means that Hai Sang does not plan to be a singer, and I think joining our company will help him more in his future growth......
This changed from Lin Jun to Haisang.
Yuji Tokukura began to list his company's strengths, hoping that Lin Hai would change his mind.
At this time, Lin Hai suddenly spoke: "I will not join Ai Hui ......"
Yuji Tokukura was overjoyed when he heard this, and Akimi Oshima raised an eyebrow.
Without giving the two of them a chance to speak, Lin Hai continued: "As for which firm to join, I will consider it again after the audition......"
The implication is not considered for now.
When Yuji Tokukura heard this, he stopped shouting hard, and made up his mind to call the office later and ask them to check the young man's heels.
If you miss a good seedling, you will be damned!
……
Akimi Oshima pulled Lin Hai aside and asked, "You don't want to join Ai Hui?"
"I don't want to. ”
"Why?"
"I have to say why, Ai Hui is too big. ”
"Big companies are bad?"
"Large companies seem to have more resources, but there are more artists, and it is not much better than small companies when they are divided. In addition, they give artists too little freedom, and the exploitation is more ruthless. In the end, the man's words were not wrong, Ai Hui is very strong in the music field, but acting-related affairs are not outstanding. ”
"I admit you see it through, but you only see the bad side. Speaking of influence alone, large companies can help you block a lot of unnecessary troubles, but you probably don't know that the entertainment industry is not full of warmth and affection......"
This is euphemistic enough, is there warmth in the entertainment industry?
This is the gladiatorial arena.
If you talk about warmth, Lin Hai shouldn't come to the audition, and if he comes, he is destined to block other people's paths.
Seeing that she couldn't convince Lin Hai, Oshima Xiaomei sighed helplessly.
To be honest, she doesn't care about Ai Hui's acting department at all, she can't wait for Lin Hai to put all his energy on music, but judging from Lin Hai's performance, he has a clear plan for the future, and it is difficult for others to shake it.
What's even more terrifying is that Oshima Xiaomei will subconsciously feel that what Lin Hai did is more reasonable - writing a book is not a proper job, hasn't she become a change party?
Lin Hai saw that Oshima Xiaomei was depressed, so he asked, "Do you really want me to join Ai Hui?"
"yes. Oshima Xiaomei said absent-mindedly: "I have said hello to people, and I originally planned to take you to the interview in two days." ”
Lin Hai thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later." ”
Since Oshima Xiaomei has asked others, it is not easy to release pigeons for her face, but Lin Hai doesn't want to deal with her old club anymore.
In the previous life, I didn't get out of the pit until I was dying, do I have to jump into the pit without a long memory in this life?
……
While Lin Hai was chatting, the others were not idle.
Aimi Nakamura quickly walked out of the conference room, looking at her joy and scissor hands compared to her agent, the interview results speak for themselves.
This made several girls very disappointed after them. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Aimi Nakamura is competing for the role of Aizawa Ya, which is a supporting role with a heavy role, and it is also the focus of their attention.
Two girls who were clearly from the same office looked angry and whispered.
"What's there to be angry about!"
"It's just that I think I'm amazing, haven't I just made a movie?"
"Hey, she's been filming before, what's her name?"
""Beautiful Girl H", a late-night drama released a while ago, it's not serious to listen to the name......"
When Aimi Nakamura passed by the two, the girl who was the first to provoke the topic suddenly raised her voice and said, "It's not ......serious to look at."
"What did you say?!"
Aimi Nakamura stopped suddenly, glared at the other party angrily, and said, "You try it again!"
The two girls wanted to provoke each other, but they were overwhelmed by each other's momentum, their eyes dodged, and they looked at the agent for help.
The agent doesn't pay attention to helping or helping relatives, so he immediately protected the two of them and glared back: "Pay attention to the occasion, this is not a place to mess around!"
"Let's go, let's go......"
Aimi Nakamura's agent didn't want to cause trouble either, so he dragged her away by the arm.
