Kentaro Miyamoto, Hideki Ishihara, and Takuma Mitsui all picked up the whiskey glasses in front of them. After a toast, they were on the same page.

When it comes to casting, Hideki Ishihara has 100% of the decision. Even Kentaro Miyamoto and Takuma Mitsui can't leave one or two left.

Kentaro Miyamoto said in his heart: "It's not a good way to just blindly become bigger and stronger by buying artists."

We still have to establish a set of mechanisms to select, train, and package...... As a result, the stars created by our Xiaohe Film and Television Company will be born. ”

Takuma Mitsui answered: "The truth is such a truth, but have you considered the cost of time? It's not easy to be an artist in Japan.

Kentaro, the AKB48 you are most familiar with, Nogizaka 46 or something, the main thing is to cultivate an idol. In the past ten years, there are few people who can be regarded as stars.

Among the many people who graduated from AKB48, I know that only Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima can still be active in Japanese film and television dramas. Other than that, there is no more.

Among those who graduated from Nogizaka 46, the only ones who can still be somewhat famous among the public are Mai Shiraishi, Asuka Saito, and Nanase Nishino.

Of course, as a housekeeper, you can count a lot of treasures, as well as your favorites. According to them, a lifetime push.

In fact, none of these otaku idols, I dare say, can compare to Satomi Ishihara, Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa and other real Japanese stars.

This is not only in terms of fame, but also in terms of one's own profession. A Japanese artist needs to be slowly cultivated in this aspect from a young age, that is, at a few years.

At this stage, it is often out of pocket. Parents feel that their children can or have the opportunity to become artists, so they will invest in it. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto, as one of the otaku, knows better than him: "In Japan, it is almost impossible to succeed if you become an artist halfway through the family, unless you are a chosen person, or if you are full of talent in a certain aspect."

The meaning of an artist in Japan is to have a skill, not a half-ass. As far as I know, Yuko Oshima had her first acting appearance at a very young age, that is, at a few years old.

There is also Tomomi Itano, who graduated from AKB48, also known as one of the Seven Gods, who danced with Hitomi Shimatani who sang "Hiyori" when she was a child.

This was all before the two joined AKB48. It can be seen that it is no accident that they can have such an opportunity, but they have been specially trained since childhood.

Even if it's a golden supporting role, it's not easy. Kaoru Kobayashi, Yutaka Matsushige, Fumiyo Kohinata, Kenichi Endo and so on.

Even if you don't know it or don't know its name, as soon as you see that face, you can basically make people think of it. At the very least, know that he is an actor.

In short, one of the meanings I want to express is that our Xiaohe Film and Television Company will still give more opportunities to its newcomers in the future.

Although these newcomers have signed a contract with our company, it does not mean that they will be able to make much money. They also have other part-time jobs outside. To survive only on the labor fees received from our company, you can only starve to death. ”

Hideki Ishihara was deeply touched at the heartstrings. Two friends I met who used to live in Shimokitazawa, Setagaya Ward, wanted to develop in the entertainment industry, but failed.

One persevered in Tokyo for ten years, but had to finally give up his dream, leave Tokyo, and return to his hometown, while the other had to give up his dream and become a wine girl in order to survive.

When I first met them, the two were full of dreams and positivity. Obviously, the income from part-time work is not much, and I have to pay out of my own pocket to learn performance-related things.

Hideki Ishihara couldn't help but feel a little sad and said, "It's really not easy for newcomers. Before they survived, they relied on generating electricity for love. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto answered: "Even if you get out, it doesn't mean that you can become popular." It's just being able to support yourself by acting.

For a small role with lines, or to have a close-up shot, it takes a lot of effort. In fact, the audience can barely remember it. And the only people who can really remember it are his relatives and friends. ”

Takuma Mitsui smiled and said, "However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, a certain beauty, especially sexy and revealing, will be remembered by some men. ”

Hideki Ishihara said thoughtfully: "The focus of our Xiaohe Film and Television Company's future development should still be on the cultivation of newcomers. ”

Takuma Mitsui reminded: "Hideki, you still have to pay more attention to the return on investment. Cultivating a newcomer into a star not only takes a lot of time, but also a lot of resources. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto agreed: "How many people remember Masami Nagasawa and Yui Aragaki in the popular Japanese drama "Dragon Sakura" that year?

I can guarantee that even if anyone notices them, they will not assume that either of them will become a Japanese A-list actress in the future. Most people still pay attention to the male protagonist Abe Kan.

Say 1,000, 10,000, whether you can be famous, especially a big name, depends on whether there is a person's personality. There is an inverse ratio between this line of work and effort.

But the more you put in and the harder you work, the more you will be able to succeed. Let's not talk about our Xiaohe Film and Television Company, even those big performing arts firms, all year round, there may not be one who is really famous.

More people have been mixed for decades, and they are still not famous, or even obscure. Nakao Akikei, do you know him? I don't know!

He also played a role in "Dragon Sakura" back then. He is the one who plays the dumb and stupid brother of the waste wood, and later withstood Abe's devil-like teaching style, and finally was admitted to the University of Tokyo, while the younger brother was an honor student, but he was not admitted to the University of Tokyo. ”

Takuma Mitsui said casually: "You won't joke with us, right?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled and said, "If I say one more thing, I'm afraid you won't believe it." It's this Nakao Mingqing, who doesn't look good, but he married Nakari Yisa. ”

Hideki Ishihara added: "Nakari Isa is not a first-line actress in Japan, but she can also sit in the position of a second-tier actress.

She herself is really good-looking. I took a cursory look at a Japanese drama she starred in recently "Let's Get a Divorce", which has some meaning.

She appeared in the first season and the second season of the Netflix hit drama "Alice in the Dying Country", and she also looked beautiful. ”
