At seven o'clock in the morning of June 5, a black Toyota sedan came to the downstairs of the apartment where he lived, Ye Zhao walked down the stairs, and the young man in the driver's seat rolled down the window and asked as if confirmed: "Is it Ye Zhao?"

Ye Zhao nodded, opened the door of the back seat and sat in. The car immediately started and drove towards a defunct high school in Adachi-ku, Tokyo, which would be one of the filming locations for today's advertisement.

Yes, what Ye Zhao has to do today is to fulfill the contract with NTT DOCOMO and complete the shooting of the advertisement.

The high school, called the private Kubota Women's High School, was originally donated by a wealthy man who had left Adachi Ward, but as RB's declining birthrate became more and more serious, Kubota Women's High School, which could not recruit enough students, was officially merged into a coeducational private high school next door, and the school building was completely idle.

As soon as Ye Zhao got out of the car, he was guided by a male assistant into the main building of the school, until he came to a classroom at the end of the first floor with the word "Ye Zhao さん" posted on the door.

The makeup for Ye Zhao was a woman in her late thirties surnamed Okubo, with an unsmiling face, but it was just a chatter.

"Your skin is really good, and your facial features are exquisite, but it saves me a lot of trouble. If only every artist's face had as perfect as you...... Then I'll have to lose my job. ”

Ye Zhao looked at such an expressionless face like a Noh mask in the mirror but telling cold jokes, and inexplicably felt like shivering. Fortunately, his face is in good condition, and it won't take long to put on makeup, and even the hairstyle will be finished in ten minutes, if it is more troublesome, he will have to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

According to the setting of the advertisement, Ye Zhao wants to play a high school student in it, so the clothes prepared for him are also a Japanese-style high school uniform, a white shirt, a gray dark checkered suit, and a pair of black uniform shoes. After changing clothes, walk out of the locker room, open your arms, and the costumer will check if the clothes fit. The costumes are customized according to the height and measurements measured on the day of winning the championship, so it is naturally no more and no less.

On the way back to the lounge to standby, Ye Zhao finally met the model who was partnered with him in this advertisement. Her name is Shiori Kudo, with Ye Zhao's little understanding of the RB entertainment industry, it seems that she has never heard such a name, maybe she has also become popular in this era, but it is certain that she eventually disappeared.

Life is like this, Ye Zhao can't be like when he meets Yuko Takeuchi on the street, and anyone he knows is a big star in the future. Tens of thousands of people sign contracts with large and small firms every year, but only a few thousand people can make their debut, and among the thousands of people who make their successful debut, no more than 30 people can finally leave a name in the entertainment industry. Most people can only become a snowflake that falls into the sea, melting silently.

Shiori Kudo, an eighteen-year-old senior in high school, was originally a model for RB's fashion magazine "SEVENTEEN", but last year she signed a contract with Kenne Studio at the recommendation of the magazine's editor, and officially began her acting career. Shiori Kudo has a sweet appearance, and if you want to describe it, there is a little shadow of Satomi Ishihara in the later generations. She was tall and well-proportioned, and the sailor skirt of her high school uniform was worn on her, the hem of which only covered about ten centimeters above her knees.

If you want to mix in the RB entertainment industry, you must remember to be polite, whether the other party is an artist or a staff member, you must take the initiative to say hello. At this point, Shiori Kudo, who has officially entered the industry and accepted this course, is of course more proficient, so before Ye Zhao could react, she had already pressed the hem of her skirt with both hands, bowed forty-five degrees and said, "Hello, I'm Shiori Kudo from the Yanyin Office." ”

"Hello. My name is Ye Zhao and I don't have an office. Ye Zhao returned the salute. Actually, there is a more appropriate word for his situation, "amateur", but this word has become a bit sour due to the overuse of a certain series in the dark world......

"I know you're the winner of this audition. Shiori Kudo smiled, "I've already seen your photos in the office, but I didn't expect the real person to be even more handsome than the photo." ”

The staff members are busy in their own way, and it would be nice to chat with Shiori Kudo to pass the time, but unfortunately this wish was quickly shattered by Shiori Kudo's agent, a man in his forties. "Kudo, it's almost time to go back to the lounge, don't you still have a script to read?"

"Yes, I know!" Shiori Kudo replied and said to Ye Zhao: "I'll go back first, and I'll give me a lot of advice on the filming after that." ”

Shiori Kudo, who is just a newcomer, has no majesty in front of the agent, and even when she walks, she has to follow the agent. The entertainment market in Japan and South Korea is like this, the high degree of development has minimized the autonomy of artists, and the power of the firm has been infinitely amplified, and agents with a little ability can control the life and death of a newcomer.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, filming officially began.

The content of the advertisement is very simple, the boy uses the message function of the BP machine to ask the girl to the rooftop of the school, and confesses to her: "Can you be my girlfriend?" but the girl did not answer, but ran away in a hurry. In the evening, the boy who was walking alone on his way home suddenly sounded on his BP machine, and on it was the sentence: "I do".

In the first scene, Shiori Kudo is chatting with her classmates in the classroom, when her BP machine beeps and when she takes it out, it reads, "Can I come to the rooftop?" The classroom was ready-made, and the two girls who played her classmates were improvised group performances by the staff.

After director Kyohei Inamura shouted the start, Shiori Kudo quickly entered her role, with rich shooting experience, she not only has a good expression, but also a good grasp of the camera, like this simple scene, passed it in one pass.

The second scene is the highlight of the advertisement, Ye Zhao stood in front of the barbed wire, heard the sound of the door being pushed open, turned around and slowly approached Shiori Kudo. Shiori Kudo asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Ye Zhao confessed to her: "Can you be my girlfriend?" Shiori Kudo didn't answer, but trotted away from the rooftop. Ye Zhao looked at her back as she left with a stunned expression.

The specific position on the ground of the rooftop has been marked, Ye Zhao, who was standing in front of the barbed wire, turned around at the same time as the door was pushed open, until this part, his several sets of shots behaved very naturally, until he slowly walked in front of Shiori Kudo, and after being asked, "Is there something wrong?", almost at the same time as he finished his lines, the director shouted to stop.

"Ye Zhao, the performance at the beginning was quite passable, but what was the demeanor and tone of the confession? You are confessing to Kudo, don't you want to borrow money from her, is it so awkward?"

After two more shots in a row, Ye Zhao's performance was still unsatisfactory, and even the director, who was extraordinarily tolerant at the beginning because he was an inexperienced newcomer, became a little irritable, seeing that the time had reached nearly twelve o'clock at noon, the director sighed, grabbed his unkempt instant noodle head, and said, "Let's rest for an hour and have lunch first." Ye Zhao, you can figure out the plot again. ”

Failing one after another, Ye Zhao's mood was also a little bad, but he was the one who had been causing trouble to others, and he was not qualified to show his displeasure at this time. The crew ordered Jin Bingwei's barbecue bento, RB's bento, there is absolutely nothing to say about the appearance, but the taste is like that.

While eating a bento in the lounge, there was a knock on the door.

"The door is not locked, please come in. ”

After receiving such a response, the door was gently pushed open, and Shiori Kudo, who was holding the bento, leaned in with a smile and leaned into half of her body, "It's so boring to eat alone, don't you mind together?"

Ye Zhao, who was chewing rice in his mouth, patted the seat next to him and replaced the answer with an action.

"It's hard to shoot a commercial for the first time, isn't it? Actually, you performed very well, when I first started as a model, I was often scolded by the photographer for not putting on good expressions and poses. ”

"Thank you for coming out of this. Didn't your agent ignore you, though?"

"He didn't even spare me a little lunch break. Behind the agent's back, Shiori Kudo's tone was not so polite. "By the way, let's rehearse it while we have this time. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

……

"What's the matter?"

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

……

"What's the matter?"

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

"Okay!"

When this line was spoken for the eighth time, Shiori Kudo suddenly said this.

"Wait, there's no such line. Ye Zhao questioned.

"I know," Shiori Kudo said with a smile, "But if it were me, I wouldn't have used a BP machine to respond to the confession, and since I plan to promise someone, I should say it so quickly!"

"Haha," Ye Zhao was amused by her words, "Actually, if it were me, I wouldn't confess with words like 'can you be my girlfriend', it's too inferior." ”

"Then what are you going to say when you confess?" Shiori Kudo looked at him with one hand on her cheek, with interest.

Ye Zhao smiled evilly, "I want to sleep with you." ”

"You ......" Shiori Kudo blushed, "you're molesting me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. ”

"No, I have to pull this game back!" After speaking, Shiori Kudo stepped forward, put her hands on Ye Zhao's shoulders, leaned forward slightly, and then, her soft lips came up.

Ye Zhao's eyes widened.

The kiss didn't go deeper, just lips to lips. It lasted for about five or six seconds, and Shiori Kudo pushed Ye Zhao away, although her cheeks were flushed, her expression was that of a victor.

"You, you, you......" Ye Zhao pointed at Shiori Kudo, learning her tone just now, "You are insulting me?"
