……
Kyogokuka saw the notice on the school's bulletin wall, copied the phone number into a notebook she had with her, and continued to the rehearsal room.
By the time she arrived at the rehearsal room, the rest of the troupe had already begun to rehearse, speaking their lines passionately.
When Kyogoku walked in, it was as if a shield had been installed on her body, and almost everyone in the rehearsal room ignored her.
Kyogoku pulled out a costume from a box in the corner and put it on her body, the costume was brown and the hood was still covered with plastic leaves.
The role she plays is a tree stump.
The whole process has its back to the audience and only two lines.
"Oh my God, it's the Dark Shadow Knight here!" and "I'm a Dryad!"
Kyogoku Xiang likes acting very much, but because she is only 1.5 meters tall and has flat breasts, she can't get a good role in the drama club, so she can only play this kind of live prop.
Her childhood dream was to become a respected actress, but as time went on, that dream became more and more out of reach.
Even her mother said to her mercilessly, "Ah Xiang, don't keep thinking about being a star, it's impossible for you, and you're not a big beauty."
Kyogoku was very unconvinced, and secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must become a household name! But as time passed, she also began to gradually recognize the reality, and the flame of her dreams gradually extinguished.
The main force of the drama club is the senior sister, who is tall and pretty, although the height is only 156 (the girls are generally not tall, and even short is beautiful), but the body proportion is very good. is also very good-looking, even if you take two steps on the road, it will attract the attention of many people.
This may be the person who is suitable to be a star, but compared to this senior sister, Kyogokuka feels just the opposite. She is not ugly, and she is even quite delicate, but she seems to have no sense of existence and is often easily ignored.
Even at dinner, everyone often forgets to prepare a bowl for her, either deliberately isolating her, or forgetting. This kind of thing often happens from childhood to adulthood, and Kyogoku is also very helpless.
After the joint performance of the six schools is over soon, I will quit the drama club, so let's study hard. Kyogoku Kazumi.
It was another two-hour rehearsal, and Kyogokuka squatted in the corner of the rehearsal room very seriously. After a long time, my legs were a little numb.
After the rehearsal, the senior sister who played the protagonist wiped the sweat from her head, "I'm so tired, let's go drink cold drinks."
As he spoke, the group walked out of the rehearsal room together with a smile.
Kyogokuka stood up and watched the back of a group of people leaving, although she was used to it, she was always a little sad in her heart.
She took off her costume and walked out, it was a little cloudy, and after leaving the drama club, she went to work at a nearby convenience store.
After the work was over, the boss took out the envelope containing the salary, "Xiaoxiang, this is your salary last week."
"Thank you, Mrs. Miyamoto." Kyogokuka took the envelope and bowed in thanks.
"By the way, Xiaoxiang, in the next month, my child's father is going back to the countryside, so the store will be closed for a while."
"Okay, I see."
Leaving her part-time job, Kyogokuka walked down the street, thinking about what kind of part-time job she was looking for in the next month.
At this time, passing by a public phone booth, she suddenly stopped and took it out of her bag
A notebook that you carry with you. Then I found a phone number in my notebook and called it.
The phone was answered by a man's voice, and Kyogokuka claimed that she wanted to try the role, and the two parties made an appointment for the interview time and the place of the interview, a bookstore near Ueno Park.
Kyogokuka walked to the bookstore with her school bag on her back and found that there were already people waiting for interviews, and those waiting for interviews were sitting in the café area on the first floor, while those interviewing were on the second floor.
Kyogokuka waited silently with her schoolbag, quietly looking at the people around her with her spare eyes, when he suddenly saw several boys from the drama club sitting in the coffee area reading comic books, his lips moved slightly, and he just wanted to say hello, but when he saw that there were so many people on the other side, no one noticed him at all, so he put down his hand to say hello again.
At this time, the senior sister walked down from the second floor, and the boys stood up and asked, "Nan, how is it?"
The senior sister spread her hands helplessly, "This director said that I am not suitable, thinking that I can't play a cartoonist, hum, ridiculous."
One of the boys also scoffed, "Forget it, anyway, I heard that this guy is also a bad movie director."
"How?"
"My cousin also went to the PEER Film Festival, met this guy, and said that this person's work is not shit."
"Haha. I see."
A few people were talking, and just as they were about to walk out of the bookstore, Kyogoku Xiang plucked up the courage to stand up, "Senpai, that ......"
The senior sister stopped and turned her head to look at Kyogokuka, "Call me?" Ah, ...... you are."
The senior sister couldn't remember the name for a while, and then a boy next to her reminded: "It's also from our drama club, and the name of the tree elf seems to be ......."
"It's you, Dryad." Senior Sister smiled, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm ......," Kyogokuka was a little embarrassed, "I'm here to interview for a role, too."
"That's right." Senior Sister smiled and said, "Come on, Tree Elf. By the way, what's your name?"
"Kyogokuka."
"I remember, goodbye, Xiang." The senior sister and her party waved their hands and left, and the boys behind them were like followers.
Kyogoku looked at the back of her senior sister with some envy, she didn't expect to be able to hug her like a senior sister, she just hoped that when she followed behind others, she wouldn't be left behind by others as usual.
"I didn't even get selected...... "Kyogokuka was a little weak-hearted, and it seemed that she shouldn't have much hope.
She sat in the corner and watched the other interviewers in the café go up to the second floor in turn, but they all left in disappointment, thinking that these girls were so beautiful that they couldn't pass, and she should be even more hopeless.
But give it a try, in case something miracles happen.
Kyogoku waited silently, and as time passed, she became a little sleepy.
So I fell asleep against the wall in the corner of the café.
After some time, a hand gently shook her shoulder.
"Girl, wake up."
Kyogokuka opened her eyes and saw a handsome man leaning over to look at her.
"Ahh Kyogokuka quickly stood up and turned her head to look around, but it was empty.
"Why did you fall asleep? We're sorry." The man said.
"It's a foreign...... What about interviews? Is the interview over?" Kyogokuka asked.
"Are you here for an interview?" The other party asked.
"Yes." Kyogokuka nodded, but as soon as she lowered her head, she was embarrassed to raise it.
And when the other party saw her reaction, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he touched his chin, and shouted into the distance, "Ohno, what's the matter with you guy? There's still someone here who hasn't been interviewed."
"Huh?" Nagaharu Ohno poked his head out from behind the bookshelf, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice."
"It's not too late for an interview." Kei Fujiwara smiled at Kyogokuka.
