Chapter 197: Comeback
The head of the tree's support group, Shina Sakura, a female white-collar worker, has been searching the Internet for new information about Fujii Tree as always, and since last year's short-lived kendo championship, he has once again been hidden.
She clicked on the Waseda University website in her collection, refreshed the webpage frequently, and finally a new text message appeared.
"In the Waseda Opera Department, the new male lead actor Fujii Shu, the female lead actor Hoshino Mayumi, and the former Takarazuka Musume TOP Hana Chief Truth Instructor rehearsal the new play Elizabeth, which will be performed on July 1, and the rehearsal process will be broadcast every month."
Out of love for Fujii Tree, Mana Sakura clicked on the link, which contained two videos of less than five minutes.
"Elizabeth, now I meet you in the world of death."
"It's going to be a forbidden love that won't be allowed."
The first paragraph is the performance clip of the Grim Reaper played by Fujii Tree and Princess Sissi of Hoshino Masaki, in order to cooperate with the publicity, Fujii Tree changed into a tassel costume entangled in black feathers, if ordinary people wear this kind of thing, it is estimated to be quite spicy eyes, but the clothes are worn on Fujii Tree, but they unexpectedly fit, and it is matched with his serious and cold stage temperament, which makes people's hearts beat more than once they see it.
"Power, harshness, coldness, ruthlessness!"
"Your Majesty, don't make any decisions for the time being."
The queen mother of the second paragraph of the total truth, the performance is also particularly distinctive, Sarun Mana has an impression of her, when she was in high school, she used to chase Takarazuka's drama for a while, but she didn't have much time for personal hobbies after work.
July 1st? It's a long time.
Mana Sakura, who tied her long hair up to the sky, sighed and looked at the scheduled performance theater, the Yoshinoaki Theater in Shinjuku Ward.
After typing and searching, the Yoshioqiu Theater was established in the late Taisho period, which has a history of half a year and can accommodate 5,000 spectators at the same time, but in recent years, the attendance rate has continued to decline and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Will such a performance venue last until July?
Sawura Mana couldn't help but think of this, the Yoshinoaki Theater itself cultivated a small troupe that was not in the stream, and several actors who were a little famous were poached, so it was in a circle of decay that went from day to day.
Giltzoo Theatre.
The silver-gray limousine stopped in front of the dilapidated theater, and Kagawa Teruyuki, dressed in a suit of the same color, lifted his suitcase and scanned the sign in front of the door with a hint of disdain.
Really, if I hadn't offended the big guys, how could I have ended up in this situation?
He is just over fifty years old, his stubby old face is clouded, some time ago in Roppongi drinking and meeting last week, his acting career plummeted, the club's endorsement advertisements have been suspended, and the big-budget movies and TV series have not contacted him, although the scene of his strong hand splitting his head to accompany the wine girl has not been reported, but those villains who tend to be inflammatory, in order to please ***, one by one, their attitude towards themselves has changed 180 degrees. z.br>
The blue knuckles clenched the handle of the suitcase, and Kagawa Teruyuki came this time to contract this theater and make a comeback with his works and achievements.
He had already inquired about it, and Ji Zhiqiu's recent attendance rate was less than 20%, which was undoubtedly beyond his means for a large theater with a scale of about 50 actors. Considering that there are almost the same number of people behind the scenes, and at least more than 30% of the attendance rate must be used to break even, and if you want to make money, you can only achieve better results.
Ji Zhiqiu was brilliant for a while in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and it was popular for a few years at the beginning of the century, but the changes of the times have made the new generation of audiences no longer pursue traditional Western opera, and even the behemoth of the Four Seasons Theater has transformed into half of the local drama.
The wind blew the empty can and rolled down to Teruyuki Kagawa's feet, he lowered his head, kicked it away, and landed on the trash can not far away, but his footwork was not good, the can bounced off and fell, was picked up by an old hand, and thrown into the trash can.
"You are Yoshinoaki's theater owner Yukinari Takeuchi, I'm Teruyuki Kagawa who has made an appointment to talk about business, please advise."
Kagawa Teruyuki took out his business card and handed it to the owner of this hand, an old man over seventy years old, on crutches,
Take his business card with the hand that picks up the can.
"Kagawa-san, let's go in and talk."
Yukinari Takeuchi took a brief look at the contents of the business card, this well-known actor in the island country has not had a good time recently, just like his Jizhiqiu Theater.
They entered the theater through the main entrance, and the interior decoration was not as old and dilapidated as Kagawa Teruyuki expected, and it seems that the owner of Takeuchi still pays attention to its maintenance on weekdays.
Walking through the ticket office at the entrance and entering the hall with 5,000 seats, there are few theaters of this size in Tokyo, where land is at a premium, and the circular stage of the hall is still rehearsing, Kagawa Teruyuki stopped to look at it for a while, and the facial features on his face squeezed out large wrinkles.
Stage actors of this level have no value at all, no wonder the attendance rate is so poor, and the performance is also an old-fashioned [Carmen], with no selling point, no characteristics, and no good value.
Teruyuki Kagawa sentenced the third-rate actors on stage to death in his heart, and if he succeeds in taking over, it is estimated that few will stay.
"These are very serious children, from all over the country, with meager salaries, and some have to work another job to save some money."
Yukinari Takeuchi introduced the names of the actors on this stage, and he knew everyone very well, if it weren't for the poor efficiency of the theater, he would also want to pay more, but he was just weak.
Yukinari Takeuchi still has a few office buildings for rent, which he bought when he was in the glory of Ji Zhiqiu, and now his Ji Zhiqiu actually has to rely on the rent of the office building to make up for the loss of the theater, which he can still do when he was alive, and after a hundred years, his family will definitely sell this place and sell his most proud treasure.
Therefore, he used the middle character to Teruyuki Kagawa, a first-line movie star who is now in trouble, and hoped that he could become the director of the theater and change this situation.
Then, they went to the director's office in the backstage of the theater, and the nameplate on the table read Yukinari Takeuchi's own name, which was casually pressed down by Takeuchi himself and no longer displayed.
"Kagawa-san, you are one of the best old-school movie stars in our island country, I want to hire you as the theater director of Yoshinoaki, and I can earn an annual salary of more than 10 million yen, although it is less for you, but please forgive us the current situation of Yoshichi, if the situation improves, I will never be stingy in terms of salary, please."
Yukinari Takeuchi's long series of words did not impress Teruyuki Kagawa, who was carrying a suitcase, but made him smile and shake his head and respond.
"Mr. Takeuchi, in my opinion, there are only two types of human beings in this world, one is the group of actors we just saw, they are grass-eating sheep who just want to survive; There is also a type of wolf, they not only want to live, but also want to live better, you and I are actually this kind of people, so there is no need to disguise."
Kagawa Teruyuki's speech made the aging Yukinari Takeuchi no longer show a kind smile, looked directly at his opponent with cold eyes, and slowly spoke.
"That's right, in the glorious days of auspicious autumn, I used some means to bring down the theater nearby, poached potential characters everywhere, behaved badly, and wandered on the edge of crime." Yukinari Takeuchi paced to the wall of honor in his office, which was full of medals and reached out to touch it.
"However, wolves will also be domesticated into sheepdogs, and people will also change, now I, I want those children with simple ideals to have their own stage, I have done so many wrong things in the first half of my life, and I will use it to make up for it in the second half of my life."
After saying that, Yukinari Takeuchi looked at Teruyuki Kagawa, bent down and pleaded, "No matter what, please be sure to be the next theater director and revive Yoshinoaki!"
"Bang bang!"
Teruyuki Kagawa put down his suitcase, clapped his hands, and said, "The acting is good, the saying is really good."
After applauding, he opened the suitcase, and the full 30 million yen bills exuded the scent of ink, and handed it to Yukinari Takeuchi.
"This money is used to charter a theater venue for a year, and the salaries of the employees are also paid by me, you have to think clearly, it is difficult not to lose money in the current auspicious autumn, right?"
"How about I'll give you 30 million yen a year to help me revive the auspicious autumn?" Yukinari Takeuchi did not accept this huge amount, but asked rhetorically.
It seems that this old guy is really dizzy, and he doesn't want the 30 million yen he earned for nothing, and he has to let himself go
of the blood, used to run the theater.
Kagawa Teruyuki stretched out his hand.
"I don't want a fixed income, I want 10 percent of the fare."
"Yes, from now on, you'll be the theater director."
Yuki Takeuchi replied without hesitation.
Hands clenched, deal struck.
