Today's children are truly immeasurable.

In the corridor, Toru Shimizu sighed in his heart, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Kirihara "has gone back", and overheard a voice floating out of a crack in an unclosed door next to him.

“... San, this audition, we LesPros will trouble you..."

“… Just Kawashima Haihe and Okawa Blue? Didn't you come here with three people this time..."

“… Just let her go through the motions, don't dare to bother you anymore..."

With little interest in this kind of private transaction, Toru Shimizu just felt that the name of the firm they mentioned was somewhat familiar. While thinking about it, he walked outside, and then he saw Reina Nengnian who came to audition at the reception.

On the couch at the reception, two girls who looked to be about the same age as Reina Noh were chatting happily. Nengnian Rena shrank in the corner of the other end alone, her eyes locked on the line book in her hand, and she closed her eyes from time to time and muttered to herself. It's like being immersed in your own world, and you've lost your sense of the outside world.

Since it's someone you know, it stands to reason that you should come up and say hello. However, if a young man comes forward to talk, he is seen by two suspected LesPros artists next to him, and it may become a storm at her agent.

Thinking like this, Toru Shimizu changed the direction of his feet, intending to get away from them, but he didn't notice the trash can standing at his feet.

After a somewhat awkward turning posture, there was a "bang", and the sound of metal colliding with hard ground echoed in the empty hall.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else."

"It's okay, Qing Shui Sang, you can leave it alone, I'll just make a gesture."

The front desk lady who rushed over snatched the cleaning work from him. Qing Shui Toru breathed a sigh of relief, remembered something again, and moved his gaze to look at the sofa, just in time to meet Nengnian Reina's eyes full of surprise.

-----

Although she was already familiar with the content in the line book, Nengnian Rena couldn't help but recite it again before the audition.

After glancing at the beginning, the rest of the rest automatically popped up in my mind. She closed her eyes and recalled the next line, and just halfway through, a sudden annoyance disrupted her thoughts.

Before the previous auditions, I thought I was well prepared. But I don't know what the reason is, and the result is always a failure. Not only did he not get the supporting role that he expected to have a small role, but he didn't even receive the role of a passerby who appeared for a few seconds.

Don't you have the talent to act?

After every failure, the thought popped up on its own, and even the encouragement from Ai Hashimoto and the acting teacher didn't make it disappear completely.

Shaking her head to shake it off for a moment, Nengnian Reina planned to continue thinking back to the lines. However, the annoyance is like a game of whack-a-mole in a playground, press one and the other will poke its head out.

This audition is already the last one arranged by the studio, and if you fail, you can only concentrate on acting classes. If that's the case, with the attitude of the agency and the agent towards me, I'm afraid there will be no hope of becoming an actor again...

What will I do when that time comes... And the morning study that day, I finally made up my mind...

The imagination was about to do its job, but it was stopped by the crisp sound of metal falling to the ground.

Subconsciously curled up, Nengnian Rena opened her blank eyes, and Qing Shui Toru's figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

He said a few words to the front desk lady and turned his head to look over.

Nengnian Rena suddenly heard her own heartbeat.

The impact of blood from her heart made her feel a little dizzy, and she subconsciously planned to get up and say something, but found that Qing Shui Toru hurriedly made a silent gesture, his eyes skimmed to the side, and he pointed downstairs again, and made a lip sync.

"Cafe."

-----

In the café where he disguised his identity last time, Toru Shimizu finished recording what happened in the morning, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Reina Noeni standing in the center of the store.

She poked her head out, looking left and right for something.

Raising her hand and waving, her eyes lit up as she trotted closer.

"Shimizu-san."

"I feel like every time I come to Toho, I can meet Nengnian-san", a little joke in exchange for a shy smile, Toru Shimizu hooked the corners of his mouth, and continued: "Is this time also for an audition?" ”

"Hmm... There was a movie about the campus that the office asked me to try. ”

"Oh? How does that feel? ”

"It feels... I don't know..."

Nengnian Lingna shook her head slightly, and remembered the audition scene just now, and felt a little depressed inexplicably.

After entering the audition site, the host asked a few personal information in a businesslike manner, and picked a short from the script of the audition role for her to perform.

Concentrated on showing all his preparations, but there was no movement behind a few tables in the judges' seat, and they exchanged words for a while, not saying good or bad, not even a comment, just a sentence of "That's it", asking her to leave the scene and calling the next person in.

I don't know if it counts as a pass. Nengnian Lingna was worried for a while, only then did she realize that Qing Shui Toru on the other side hurriedly added: "Anyway, it will come out soon." ”

"That's the case."

Toru Shimizu also sighed, remembering the conversation he had heard in the hallway earlier.

I have been dealing with Shinji Kirihara for a while as a film producer, and he probably has some understanding of the casting of film and television dramas.

The most important thing is naturally the hero and heroine, which directly determines the upper and lower limits of a movie. followed by some more important supporting roles, if they have a wonderful performance, the movie will also add a lot of color. In the end, there are some ordinary supporting characters and passerby characters left, and their role in the movie is like green onions sprinkled on ramen. You can't do without, but it doesn't change the taste of the ramen itself.

Therefore, as the core of power in a film, producers, directors and screenwriters usually have a firm grasp of the casting rights of the main character and important supporting characters, and the selection is as strict and careful as possible. The rest of the roles that are not so important will be handed over to the assistant director or others, or they will be given away as a resource to expand contacts and relationships with the firm.

After all, every office has its own ace actor who can be called a box office guarantee. For the sake of profit, sometimes filmmakers have to beg these people to star.

Specific to today's audition, Nengnian Rena is the one who was abandoned under this exchange.

Of course, Toru Shimizu wouldn't tell her about these things.

I was thinking about how to say something comforting, but my phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, Kirihara-san?"

"I'm still downstairs in Toho."

"Let me go back, now?"

"I see, please wait a minute."

put down the phone, and noticed the careful gaze of Nengnian Lingna on the other side.

"Qing Shui San, do you have something to leave?"

Toru Shimizu turned around and put the pen and paper on the table into his bag.

"yes, a little bit of something. You don't have to leave in a hurry, I've already paid the fee. ”

He pushed away the chair and was about to step out, Nengnian Lingna couldn't help but stand up first, the emotion called "unwilling" was surging in his heart, and he was in a hurry, and said: "That... Can I go with me if it's convenient? ”

Qing Shui Toru was stunned, looked at the determined look on her face, thought about it, and nodded.
