Chapter Twenty-Four: The Noise of May
After the premiere, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to his dull days again. But this time, there was a little discomfort in the blandness, because Masami Nagasawa.
Since being given the title of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acting teacher by Masami Nagasawa at the premiere, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been tortured in the following days.
Because I usually have to go to class, I follow Masami Nagasawa to learn acting, only on weekends. However, every weekend almost caused Kiyoshi Sakamoto to have a nervous breakdown.
As a person who has acted in several movies, Masami Nagasawa is actually still exploring her acting skills, and she has not yet reached the level of teaching others, but after knowing that Sakamoto Kiyoshi wants to act, Masami Nagasawa pondered that she is also learning from the company's seniors in the company, or that's it: what she learned from the company's seniors, write it down, and then take it to teach Sakamoto Kiyoshi, isn't that okay, and also teach things, and the two of them can discuss and progress together.
Thinking of this, Masami Nagasawa felt that it was definitely a good idea, so I implemented it like this.
It just happened to be staggered with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's class time.
From Monday to Friday, Kiyoshi Sakamoto attended classes, while Masami Nagasawa studied with an acting teacher at the company.
On weekends, Masami Nagasawa would come to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's house and teach him acting skills.
This was originally nothing.,It's a good picture of studying hard and going up every day.,But Sakamoto was wrong.。
I don't know which acting teacher Masami Nagasawa learned from, although they are all those joys, sorrows, and sorrows, body movements, line exercises, and various trainings, all of which look like formal acting learning content.
But I can't stand the amount of it, and all of a sudden, Masami Nagasawa wants to teach Kiyoshi Sakamoto what she learned in a week in the company in a day or two, how is that possible.
There is no way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi can only try his best to remember, but fortunately, his terrifying glances will not forget, and he will help him memorize by rote, and Nagasawa remembers full of notes. But how can it be so easy to learn acting.
In the performing arts, there are three famous schools: experientialism, expressionism, and methodology.
I can't say which faction has a better performance, and I can't say which way of acting is more popular, because each faction has actors in use.
However, in today's various performance techniques or genres, there will be more or less experiential elements, because experience, as a resonant aesthetic, is the closest to the overall narrative of modern art. So it's become a model for actors to use acting, and it's impossible for today's actors and creative teams to do without a little experiential stuff.
However, it does not mean that all actors will use only one faction to act, actors are every faction and will try. Only after trying it will you know which performance school is best for you.
Only the most suitable performance for yourself can improve your acting skills.
After in-depth study of the learning content that Masami Nagasawa brought to him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also realized that Masami Nagasawa also belongs to the experiential school.
In fact, it's normal, after all, it's just a teenage girl, how can I know so many things about performing arts, when I ask for acting, people who can't act, when they get started, are basically experiential.
For example, to play a patient, you have to imitate a patient's every move and substitute yourself into it, so that you can know what the patient is thinking and doing when he is sick.
Everything starts from the self.
After the experience, you will know what kind of things you should perform in the play.
To get back to the point, two weeks later, Kiyoshi Sakamoto memorized all the acting training and skills brought by Masami Nagasawa and used them.
Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto who learned so quickly, Masami Nagasawa was even more happy, because only when Kiyoshi Sakamoto reached a level similar to Masami Nagasawa could the two start playing against each other and improve each other.
As a result, Masami Nagasawa came to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's house more often.
And the two are also slowly becoming familiar with this learning relationship.
It's funny to say, one Sunday, Yui Aragaki, who lives opposite Kiyoshi Sakamoto, found that there was a beautiful girl standing at the door of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's house, as if waiting for someone, Yui Aragaki looked a little familiar, so she went up and asked.
The result surprised Yui Aragaki that it was Masami Nagasawa who was standing at the door of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's house.
The two know each other, after all, they are all mixed in the circle, but they are just nodding friends.
The two discover that both of them know Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a mutual friend. So that day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who happened to be back to Sony, didn't know that because of himself, Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, two of the four pillars, became friends.
As a result, after returning home, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, after a while, looked at the two beauties with a confused face, walked into his room, and chatted to himself!
Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who was watching this scene, shouted in his heart, "What the hell is going on? I'm the master here, is it really okay for you to ignore me like this?!"
In this way, Yui Aragaki also joined this trio called "Acting Club", and the "Acting Club", which was later famous in the RB entertainment industry, was born in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's apartment.
In the following days, Kiyoshi Sakamoto either went to school with Yui Aragaki or carried out various "acting club" activities with Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has activities every day, seven days a week, has a fulfilling and happy life.
Nonsense, you can see Gakki every day, and you can practice acting with the two goddesses on weekends, of course it's fun!
However, according to the news from Uncle Ishida at Sony, Sony is not very satisfied with Sakamoto Kiyoshi's current diving state, and he spends all day at home and does not make any announcements.
I want Kiyoshi Sakamoto to create another single, and release another EP to show his face or something, so Sony can help him operate it. Otherwise, if it continues like this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's high popularity since his debut will slowly lose without showing his face.
Who knows, this order has not yet come down, and the release of the movie "Calling Love in the Center of the World" has left Sony speechless.
Since the release of the movie "Calling for Love in the Center of the World", through such a simple and undesigned story, it has conveyed an ordinary emotion to the audience, and the box office exceeded one billion in the first week, and the weekend box office reached an astonishing 800 million!
In the next few weeks, the box office continued to hit new highs, and as of June 5th, "Calling for Love in the Center of the World", which was released for four weeks, won the first place in the box office list for four consecutive weeks, and the cumulative box office reached 5 billion!
As the theme song of the movie, "Close Your Eyes Lightly", with the movie, more people recognized the genius newcomer of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and also made Kiyoshi Sakamoto appear in front of the RB people again.
The most intuitive data shows everything, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Close Your Eyes" single, three months after its release, sold explosive again, and all of a sudden Sony received the entire Tokyo circle, all CD stores, asking to add Sakamoto Kiyoshi's "Close Your Eyes".
Since May 8th, within a month, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has fallen to the 60th place on the singles chart, and the ranking has soared rapidly again, and on May 23, it topped the singles chart again.
In the past four weeks, the movie list is the slaughter of "Calling for Love in the Center of the World", and on the singles list, it is the dominance of "Close Your Eyes".
Under the attack of Hikaru Utada and Mr. Children, he still won the second place in the singles chart sales for two weeks!
With the help of the pure love craze, "Close Your Eyes Lightly" was a big hit again, and in four weeks, the sales exceeded 300,000 copies, and the cumulative sales reached 1.1 million, becoming the second single to exceed one million in 2004 since Naotaro Moriyama's "Sakura".
It can be said that if there are no surprises this year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Close Your Eyes" will definitely be this year's single sales champion.
Because in the past few years when RB records have gone downhill, there have been very few singles of more than one million.
And there is still half a year before the end of this year, and it may be that in the next half year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's song "Close Your Eyes Lightly" can exceed one million.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi also with this pure love craze, driven by his popularity, on the Internet Google search, the first is "Calling Love in the Center of the World", the second is "Close Your Eyes", and the third is "Sakamoto Kiyoshi".
Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity rise again, Sony was both happy and depressed. After all, as a Sony artist, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's success will of course drive Sony's development, but in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's success, Sony's role can be said to be very small. The song was written by Sakamoto Kiyoshi himself, although the theme song of the movie was proposed by Xing Dingxun and submitted to Sony, Sony was not very concerned about it, so he just let Sakamoto Kiyoshi decide for himself, so to speak, Sakamoto cleared the single suppression of his debut, as well as early publicity, to help Sakamoto receive the notice, on the road to his popularity, Sony actually did not do enough.
Therefore, after the movie theme song incident, Sony President Naoki Kitagawa once again proposed to increase support for Kiyoshi Sakamoto and help Sony in various areas within his ability.
Because this is a big gold mine that has already been discovered. Seeing the economic benefits created by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the directors were already very jealous, so the board of directors unanimously approved the plan called "Sakamoto Plan".
"Sakamoto Project" is an artist development support program that only members of the board of directors know. And the target is Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the little prince of Sony.
The content of this project is unknown, but the employees and artists at Sony know one thing, that is, Sony treats Kiyoshi Sakamoto as a treasure. In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's status in Sony began to soar all of a sudden, and he is also a solo male singer, only under Ken Hirai, the first brother. As for Sony's first artist, it is still the Rainbow Band that has just returned from repair.
At this moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a new nickname after "Sony's Little Prince", called "Sony's Second Brother"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was ridiculed by Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa because of his nickname, is miserable again this time, and this nickname may be laughed at for a few months.
