Chapter 122: Start with the people around you
"Matsumoto Konoemon?" The clerk asked, "Is that Kabuki actor Matsumoto Konoemon?"
"That's him."
"Fujiwara-sensei, there shouldn't be any information about him in the reference room." The clerk replied, "Mr. Matsumoto Konoemon is not a film and television actor, and he hardly appears in film and television dramas, so there is no information about him in the reference room."
"I remember he starred in a movie two years ago."
At this time, Fujiwara Kei found it on the computer last night, Fujiwara Kei also watched that movie, the story is average, but Matsumoto Konoemon's performance level in the movie is definitely online.
After all, he is a stage actor, and a skilled theater actor goes to the big screen, and he can almost reduce the dimension of ordinary film and television actors in terms of acting skills.
For TV series and movies, the director's command art is more important; For dramas and stage plays, the actors' presence is even more important.
"That time it belonged to Mr. Konoemon Matsumoto's friendship, and other than that, there is no more information about his performance."
"I see." Fujiwara didn't ask any more questions and walked out of the reference room.
After returning to the car, after some thought, Fujiwara Kei picked up the receiver of the car phone and called Katsura Arima again.
After the phone rings for a while, no one answers, and it automatically enters the message.
Kei Fujiwara cleared his throat and said, "Arima, I'm Kei Fujiwara, I have something to look for you, a new film about me...... Can you call me back if it's convenient?"
After leaving a message, Kei Fujiwara hung up the phone and drove back to the office.
「…… I'm Kei Fujiwara, and I'm looking for you for something, about my new film...... Can you call me back if it's convenient?"
Arima Katsuna sat on the couch with the phone at her hand.
Listening to Kei Fujiwara's voice coming from the telephone, the sound of her heartbeat rang uncontrollably in her ears like a drumbeat.
I don't know why, she was a little afraid to answer Kei Fujiwara's call.
Knowing that the bell was over, her hanging heart dropped slightly, and then she pricked up her ears to listen to Kei Fujiwara's message.
I'll be back to him in half an hour...... There is Ma Guixiang heart. So I picked up a random magazine and read it.
She just felt that time had passed, so she put down her magazine, picked up the phone receiver and tried to call back, but looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, which showed that less than ten minutes had passed.
Arima Guixiang was stunned, put down the earpiece again with some contempt, and after another fifteen minutes, he called back.
"Fujiwara...... Sorry, I didn't hear the bell just now, what's the matter?"
"Are you free now?" Come out for a meal." The only intersection between Kei Fujiwara and Konoemon Matsumoto is Katsura Arima, so I plan to sharpen her and find a way to trick her into pulling her father into the filming set of "Renzaburo Furuhata".
After all, in addition to Asahara Teruo, Matsumoto Konoemon is the second person Fujiwara Kei has seen in this world who is highly compatible with the role of Renzaburo Furuhata, and even the adaptability is close to Tamura Masakazu.
The moment I saw him on TV last night, I even felt that Masakazu Tamura himself had come to this world.
I learned about some of Matsumoto Konoemon's personal information on the Internet, and he is 48 years old this year, which is also very consistent with his age.
"Yes." Arima Katsura deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Decide what you want to eat, lonely gourmet."
Kei Fujiwara laughed in the earpiece, "Okay, if it doesn't taste good, you can hit me."
"When will we meet?"
"At six o'clock in the evening, you come to the new bridge, there is a French restaurant near here, and it tastes good."
"Okay, we'll see you there." Katsura Arima said.
After hanging up the phone, Arima Guixiang continued to pick up the magazine and read it, but the magazine was originally wonderful, and suddenly it was a little unbearable.
At noon, someone knocked on the bedroom door of Arima Guixiang, and Arima Guixiang opened the door, and the maid in her sixties smiled at Arima Guixiang, "Miss, it's time to eat."
"Well, here we go." Arima Katsuna said.
She is now in her own home, not in a rented apartment outside.
Arima Katsura went downstairs and sat opposite her mother, the main seat was still empty, Matsumoto Konoemon had not yet come, and his father, who was the head of the family, had not taken a seat, so the others could not move quickly, so a group of people waited for Matsumoto Konoemon to enter the table.
Two minutes later, Konoemon Matsumoto, dressed in pajamas, walked over with clogs in his hand, still holding a small notebook and muttering words in his mouth.
"Abandon, give up ......"
Recently, Matsumoto Konoemon didn't know what kind of wind he was smoking, and he, a inheritor of the art of his country, suddenly learned a foreign language.
According to him, he wants to bring the great art of kabuki performance to the world stage, and even be able to perform on Broadway in the near future, so he has been actively studying recently.
Matsumoto Konoemon sat down in his seat, put the word book aside, and suddenly said in the voice of the stage, "Let's go, sons."
"Don't be so weird." Mother blamed.
"English is really hard......" Matsumoto Konoemon suddenly sighed.
"Learn slowly." Mother said.
"Jian Zhai, how has the practice of "Even the Lion" been recently, can you perform on stage with your father?" Matsumoto Konoemon asked.
Arima Sai was feasting on a mashed potato, and when he heard Matsumoto Konoemon's somewhat stern questioning, he suddenly looked a little disappointed.
"It's okay, Daddy."
"After dinner, we'll rehearse, and I'm going to perform with you this month."
"So soon, I'm not ready......
"Then prepare now." Matsumoto Konoemon said in a tone that could not help but say.
"Good ......"
"Even the Lion" is a famous Kabuki play, and it is said that the Kabuki family has been passed down from father to son, so it is also a tradition for father and son to perform "Even Lion" on the same stage, which means that the son will soon officially take over the mantle from his father.
At this time, Shiori Arima stabbed Matsumoto Konoemon with her elbow, and snorted slightly at Arima Katsuna.
Arima Guixiang was holding a rice bowl, looking a little absent-minded.
Matsumoto Konoemon reacted, and hurriedly expressed concern for his daughter, "Katsunamoto, how are you doing lately, are you busy with new dramas recently?"
Arima Katsura shook her head.
Konoemon Matsumoto had a flattering smile on his face: "Dad finished watching the episode of "Long Vacation" without landing, it's really exciting."
Arima Guixiang didn't speak again.
Mr. and Mrs. Arima thought that their daughter was angry again, so they stopped squeaking.
Although the Arima family belonged to a traditional Japanese family, Matsumoto Konoemon himself did not have a patriarchal habit. Since childhood, he has also been very fond of his daughter, and when he was a child, he also admired his father wearing a lion's head on the stage, so when he was very young, Arima Katsuraka aspired to become a kabuki actor and wanted to inherit his father's name.
At that time, Matsumoto Konoemon was very happy when he knew about Arima Katsuna's ideal, so he taught her to perform when Arima Katsura was very young, and even took her on stage.
However, when Arima Katsura grew up, she had to accept a slightly cruel fact, that is, women could not perform kabuki performances, and could only inherit the women's stage name of Matsumoto Takazakura, [Matsumoto Saemon - Matsumoto Koemon - Matsumoto Kantaro - Matsumoto Takezuru] This inheritance is something that the daughter's family cannot participate in.
After Arima Guixiang learned about this, she was sad and angry for a while, but quickly accepted the reality. Since then, he rarely performs under the name of Matsumoto Takazakura, but left the stage under the real name of Katsura Arima and became a film and television actor.
Because she is a girl, she cannot inherit the mantle of Hakutsuruya - this seems to be the only mustard between Katsura Arima and her parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Arima thought that Arima Katsura was angry again, so they stopped talking, but in fact, Arima Katsura was thinking about something else.
After eating, Arima Guixiang returned to the room, took off her clothes and walked in
The bathroom began to shower, and after a while, he walked out of the bathroom barefoot wrapped in a bath towel and began to choose clothes in front of the huge wardrobe.
Which one should I wear...... This one seems a bit exposed, but this one is too conservative.
After thinking about it for a long time, Arima Guixiang chose the clothes, and then dressed up carefully on the dressing table, and then prepared to walk out of the room.
As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I saw Arima Masai standing at the door, and when he saw Arima Guixiang's appearance, he was stunned and said, "Are you going on a date?"
