Chapter 121: The Best Candidate
"I'm not expelled!" Kei Fujiwara explained impatiently, snatching back the box, "What are you doing here?"
"Shoot commercials." Kono Aoi rubbed her head and said.
"What advertisement?"
Aoi Kono said the name of a cosmetic product, Kei Fujiwara was a little surprised, this is a very famous Japanese brand, and Aoi Kono actually got its endorsement.
Etsuko Fukuyama really has a set as an agent......
Although Aoi Kono has skyrocketed in popularity by playing the role of the second female in "Long Vacation", she has changed from an unknown artist to an artist who hovers back in the second and third lines. Although there are no works around, the popularity is unexpectedly high.
Many producers have sent film contracts, and the industry also believes that Kono Aoi himself has the potential to catch fire. The matter of audience popularity is really metaphysical, but she is the second female who starred in a hit drama, but she can harvest so much popularity among young audiences, which is really envious of her peers.
"Have you been shooting anything new lately?" Facing Aoi Kono, Kei Fujiwara couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Although Kono Aoi is not much different in age from him, Fujiwara Kei always can't help but care for her like an elder...... I think it was the same with Ohno Nagaharu at the beginning, and the same is true with Etsuko Fukuyama now.
This may also be a unique talent to compensate for the lack of IQ.
"I passed the audition and will be in the group soon." Kono Aoi said, "Fujiwara-sensei, thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so now."
Aoi Kono looked at Kei Fujiwara with grateful eyes.
"Okay, you're welcome." Kei Fujiwara was a little embarrassed by Aoi Kono, patted her on the shoulder, and dodged away.
After returning home, Kei Fujiwara watched the audition images repeatedly, and they all performed well. But it always seems to be a little bit of verve, and this verve happens to be unique to Asahara Teruo.
Fujiwara Kei sighed silently in his heart, he actually agreed with Yui Mizuhara's statement, if he really agreed to Asahara Teruo's salary request, it would not be a matter of paying an extra sum of money, and they might have to pay several more sums for today's decision in the future. So there can be no concessions.
But in this case, it may not be possible to find Renzaburo Furuhata who really satisfies Kei Fujiwara this time.
In fact, Asahara Teruo is not the perfect Renzaburo Furuhata in his heart, according to his standards, the adaptability of this actor and Renzaburo Furuhata is about 80%. The original Renzaburo Furuhata's actor Masakazu Tamura has a suitability of 98%.
After all, Masakazu Tamura was the screenwriter of this drama who was decided at the beginning of creation, and this drama was almost tailor-made for him. So Kei Fujiwara doesn't expect to find such a perfectly suitable actor as Masakazu Tamura in this world, and Teruo Asahara is already the best candidate he can find in his vision.
After watching other people's audition videos, Kei Fujiwara chose an actor who was almost 75% fit, wrote down his name, and exited the tape.
Fujiwara Kei was in a somewhat depressed mood, looked at the time, it was still early, and thought about whether to go to Nagaharu Ohno to play billiards.
By the way, speaking of Ohno Nagaji, that wine Mengzi seems to have not drunk with him for a long time, and I don't know what he has been busy with during this time......
Kei Fujiwara turned on the TV, and the TV was playing a program from NHK, and Kei Fujiwara couldn't help but smile when he thought of the toll collector he had seen in front of Itagaki House not long ago.
NHK is broadcasting a documentary series called "The True Colors of Experts". Each episode features a leading figure in the industry, including famous directors, musicians, painters, architects, and Nobel Prize-winning biology professors.
There is only one writer who has appeared on this show, and that is Junyama Hattori, the current president of the Reasoning Association.
I think that at the beginning, the first show "I Said My Variety Show" that Fujiwara Kei did was made based on this show, but Dong Shi followed suit, and his grades were not half a star.
Kei Fujiwara was just about to change the channel, when a familiar face suddenly appeared on the TV screen.
Arima Guixiang's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes glowing under the reflection of the stage lights, and she said with emotion
with lines.
At that moment, Kei Fujiwara thought that Arima Katsura was the protagonist of this episode of "The True Colors of Experts", and was suddenly surprised: When did Arima Katsuna's status become so high?
The TV camera switches from a close-up to a long shot, and a line appears at the bottom of the screen: "Takazakura Matsumoto is performing a stage play".
The camera cuts again, and a man in his forties is standing backstage, watching Katsura Arima perform.
At this time, a reporter's voice came from outside the camera: "You look nervous."
The man smiled suddenly, "Yes, I am much more nervous every time I see them perform than I am on stage. It's like this with Takazakura and Saemon."
Only then did Kei Fujiwara react, and the protagonist of this documentary was not Katsura Arima, but this man - Kabuki actor: Matsumoto Konoemon.
Famous Kabuki actors, hereditary heads of the Kabuki family [Hakuzuruya], these inheritors of these traditional arts have a very high status in the moto, far surpassing ordinary actors. An actor like Teruo Asahara is a respected actor, but his status in the art world cannot be compared to that of an artist like Konoemon Matsumoto.
Matsumoto Konoemon is his stage name, and the name has been passed down from generation to generation. It was a name that his father had used and would pass on to his son. And what his real name is, Fujiwara Kei doesn't know very well, only knows the surname "Arima".
Matsumoto Takazakura is also the stage name of Arima Katsuna, but Arima Katsura only uses this name when performing stage plays, and still uses her real name Arima Katsuna when she appears in film and television dramas.
Another teenager appeared on TV, not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a beautiful appearance. He is the future heir of [Hakutsuruya] and the younger brother of Katsura Arima, Matsumoto Saemon. Although he is still a child, he has already taken the name [Saemon], and he will inherit his father's name in the future, and he is the next head of the Hakutsuruya.
And Fujiwara Kei's attention at this time has been completely attracted by Matsumoto Konoemon.
At this time, the TV screen switched again, and it became a repertoire performed by Matsumoto Konoemon himself, called "Lion Lian", which is a classic Kabuki play.
The plot is that the old lion deliberately pushed the lion cub off the cliff in order to exercise the lion cub, but he was worried about the lion cub and couldn't help but look at the cliff with his eyes.
"Fell~He was pushed down~"
"Oops~ I finally raised you~"
This traditional musical and dance drama has an exaggerated and mysterious artistic sense like ukiyo-e, but Kei Fujiwara didn't find it interesting. He can't stand this kind of traditional art full of ancient meaning, whether it is Peking Opera or Shakespeare, he will be sleepy when he sees it.
However, this time, Kei Fujiwara was staring at the TV very intently, and there seemed to be a little excitement in his eyes.
As the minutes ticked by, Kei Fujiwara watched intently.
Early the next morning, Kei Fujiwara hurried to the reference room of Fukuyamadai to look for the actor's information, but he couldn't find the actor information he was looking for.
Kei Fujiwara found the clerk who managed the data room and said directly, "I'm sorry, please help me find the information of Matsumoto Konoemon."
