On the second day after returning from the hot spring, Kazuma meets Okada Anri at a coffee shop in Shibuya under the arrangement of Honami.
And the horse looked around strangely.
Honami who came together patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing?"
"Did Tian Gu go to the bathroom?" Kazuma asked suspiciously.
Honami stepped on Kazuma lightly under the chair.
Okada Anri was drinking juice, but she put down the juice when she heard Kazuma's words, looked at the table and sighed.
"Everyone has their own peach blossom period, mine just bloomed a little later." Okada Anri said.
Hema coughed to hide the embarrassment on his face: "Ahem, that's it, let's talk about business. You should know this person here?"
Anri Okada glanced at Hinan Rina and nodded: "Of course I do, President-san. Miss Bei Gao is a beautiful girl who is inseparable from the three Kiryu sisters."
This is about what happened at the cultural festival in the third year of high school and at the beauty pageant in Beijing High School.
Kazuma: "What the hell are the three Kiryu sisters?"
"Everyone calls Nanjo, Fujii, and Jinguji like that behind their backs." Okada Anri smiled, and then changed the topic, "Come back to business, you shouldn't be looking for me to reminisce about old times, right?"
Kazuma nodded, glanced at Nichinan Licai, and said, "It's about Nichinan's future. She wants to go to a general university first, and then participate in theater troupe activities during college."
Okada Anri stared at Nichinan for a few seconds: "Do you want to continue to follow the showbiz route? Why don't you just find the relationship with the readers and models back then?"
"No, I won't go that way again. I won't do pillow business or anything." Ninan Licai said firmly.
Okada Anri understood immediately: "So that's how it is."
He Ma: "You understand really quickly."
"Because many good-looking girls in our troupe don't want to be ruled by unspoken rules and don't want to be in business, so they graduated from the idol development agency and came to the troupe to start with small roles at the beginning."
Okada Anri said while taking a big mouthful of juice.
"Because of this, this road is actually very difficult to walk, because it is already overcrowded. In comparison, it is a little easier for me to become a screenwriter. Although I am just a helper in the troupe. "
He Ma said "Oh": "That's it."
Okada Anri stared at Hinan Rina while sipping juice, and asked suspiciously: "Why does a beautiful girl like you have to go this way? Isn't it good to marry a regular member of a big company?" You find a private university that is easier to go to and get a diploma, and then the seniors of the university will naturally pull you to participate in that kind of fellowship and blind date activities."
Japan is now on the eve of the bubble era, and there will be at least ten years of prosperity in the future. According to Anri Okada, it is a good way out, at least before the bubble bursts, it can get a prosperous life.
As for after the disintegration, the official members of large enterprises are employed for life. As long as the enterprise itself is not finished, the quality of life will not drop too much.
After all, being able to sneak into a big company and become a full-time member can be regarded as the quasi-upper class in Japan.
The real unlucky people after the bubble burst are the middle and lower classes.
Rinan Nina looked directly at Anri Okada, and asked, "Then why did Senior Okada strive to be a screenwriter?"
"Because I'm not good-looking." Okada Anri responded.
"Now that plastic surgery and make-up techniques are so advanced, Senior Okada can make himself look good if he has the heart."
Okada Anri was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Because I like to write stories, I want to try to support myself by writing stories. Does the president-san like acting? If you don't like acting, just take this as entering acting Circle the other way, I…”
Okada Anri hesitated for a few seconds when she said this, and then shook her head: "I can't say anything, after all, there are already a lot of people in the troupe who just want to use the troupe as a springboard to become Hiyu. If the president-san wants to come Our troupe, I will connect you."
Kazuma turned his head sideways to observe Nichinan Rina's face, and found that she had a thoughtful expression.
Sensing Kazuma's gaze, Rinan Licai asked, "Do I have to like acting to take this path?"
He Ma: "Not necessarily. There are only a few people who can engage in the work they like. Most people do not engage in a certain industry because they like it. It is more a coincidence."
Just like Kiryu Kazuma in his previous life, he didn't like to sell things to gringos before he became a sales representative. If he really had to choose according to his own preferences, he might become an independent game developer or a psychologist.
Looking back on his job hunting experience, it seems that he entered the foreign trade industry entirely by a series of chances and coincidences, and then he did a good job because he was good at bragging.
Nichinan Licai was not satisfied with Kazuma's answer, and continued to ask: "Then is it a coincidence that you want to become a policeman?"
"Yeah," Hema shrugged, "If Xiao Qian didn't stop me from selling the dojo, I would have sold the dojo a long time ago, and then lived a rich life by speculation. But there are no assumptions in life, and the dojo can't be sold until now. , I have feuded with the extremes again, so I can only take the police route, become the police chief, and wipe out those extremes."
Honami touched Kazuma with her knee under the table, only then did he realize that Anri Okada was looking at him with bright eyes.
"That's great," Okada Anri said as soon as Kazuma's eyes met, "Can you talk about the part about making enemies with Gokudou in detail?"
He Ma: "Didn't I tell you before?"
"You only said that you and Jidao had some conflicts because of selling the dojo! You didn't say anything about the enmity later!"
He Ma scratched the back of his head: "This... You should actually read the relevant reports of Fang Chun in the weekly magazine. The real situation is not as exciting as what they wrote."
"This kind of thing is more valuable from the first-hand impression of the person involved."
"But now we are discussing the development of Ninanli cuisine."
Okada Anri stared at Kazuma for a few seconds, then sighed: "Okay. But when you are willing to accept my material, be sure to call me."
He Ma answered vaguely, and then turned his gaze back to Nichinan Licai: "So, have you thought about it?"
Hinan Rina nodded vigorously: "I've made up my mind. If I find a career I like halfway, I'll switch to this career. Before that, I want to work hard to become Feiyou."
"Then it will be the same as what we have set before. You should go to a passable university first, and then please ask Okada to introduce you to the theater troupe."
Okada Anri nodded: "I've said it, I have no problem. But I can make it clear that our troupe has so-called talented actors. I don't know how long she can stay in our troupe, but she has succeeded. It made a few girls give up their dream of becoming an actor and seriously plan to get married."
"Really?" Kazuma looked at Okada suspiciously, suspecting that she was scaring Nichinan.
Okada: "Really, everyone said in private that there must be something wrong with such a guy coming to a small theater company like ours, and she should go to those big theater companies that are active in Ginza to shine.
"With that kind of troupe, she will definitely be spotted by a big director right away and make her debut directly.
"Our small troupe doesn't pay much attention to big directors at all. The last senior who made a successful debut got on the right track because he was caught by a fledgling new director by chance and acted in an academic short film."
Okada's words made Honami, who had been staying by the side, curious, and finally said: "Which one are you talking about? Did she appear in the Macbeth you performed before? Why do I have the impression that the actresses in that show performed very well?" generally?"
"That's because she played Macbeth in that play." Okada Anri said while using her habit to stir the juice to float the crumbs of the pulp, "If she plays a female character, the aura of all female characters will be Suppressed and dimmed. The director said that in order to avoid this situation, she can only play a man to weaken her aura."
Honami made an "oh" voice: "It's Macbeth, then it's understandable, that Macbeth is really good, handsome and crazy, if I don't already have someone I like, maybe I will become his Fanatic fans."
He Ma was caught off guard by a sudden straight ball, so he could only drink coffee like a big fox.
Okada Anri looked like a girl who started to gossip: "Isn't it? It's amazing, right? After that performance, we received a lot of gifts, all for her who played Macbeth and the Cowboy's Club." The manager came over here. It's obviously a small performance in a small theater."
Rinan Rina: "Why does it sound like a male actor from the Takarazuka Troupe?"
The Takarazuka Troupe is all female, so when male actors are needed, female troupe members dress up as men.
Takarazuka will have a special "male role". Simply put, it is a girl who professionally disguises herself as a man and plays a male role. These girls are even more popular among Japanese upper-class women than those handsome ones promoted by firms such as Guinness. male entertainer.
There are even women in big families, from grandma to mother to daughter, who have been fans of Takarazuka Troupe's male roles for three generations.
Rina Hinan continued: "This guy is so good at playing male roles, why didn't he go to Takarazuka? If he becomes a STAR with his acting skills, the showbiz has a bright future."
He Ma responded casually: "I don't have any money."
"Eh? Did you go to Takarazuka to ask for money? Shouldn't the troupe pay you after passing the selection?"
Kazuma shook his head: "It was true in the past, so there were many girls from ordinary backgrounds in the Takarazuka Troupe. But because of labor disputes, the girls of the Takarazuka Troupe launched a strike with the support of the left."
Nichinan Licai's mouth opened into an O shape.
Kazuma: "The result of the strike seems to be that the girls won, but after that, the chaebol behind the Takarazuka Troupe spent more than five years to clear the left-wing forces from Takarazuka and related industries, so the gate of the troupe was right. The civilian population is permanently closed."
"That..." Okada Anri asked in a low voice, "Kiryu-san, did you join in college..."
"No, not at all." He Ma categorically denied it.
"I haven't said what I'm adding."
"Needless to say, you know. I didn't join. Please see who I'm dealing with now. How could I join?"
Honami picked up the teacup with a very formal and elegant gesture, and took a sip of the black tea.
Okada Anri looked at Honami, and whispered: "But in the story, a young lady like Nanjo-san will betray her class for love."
Honami coughed, probably because she swallowed the tea a little faster and choked on it.
Okada Anri seemed to have comprehended something from Honami's actions, she shrugged: "It's okay, because of the theater company's activities recently, I have come into contact with some seniors in drama, and I am not surprised by these."
Honami cleared her throat: "Aren't we discussing Nichinan's future now?"
Nichinan Licai: "As soon as the topic turns to a bad direction, you pull me out? That's all, I'm very interested in the seniors of this troupe now, can you introduce me? According to you, she may debut next year Are you not in the troupe anymore? Then let me meet her now?"
Anri Okada showed a distressed expression: "Now the troupe's activities are temporarily over, and we won't resume until the school starts in September. I don't have any personal relationship with that one. After all, he is the absolute core of the troupe, TOPSTAR, I'm just an errand worker .
"In September, we will start rehearsing a new play. It should be King Lear. You can come and see it then. I will find a chance for you to meet after the rehearsal is over. Don't hold out too much hope..."
Okada Anri stopped suddenly, looked at Kazuma: "Ah, if it's 'that Kiryu' who wants to meet TOPSTAR, that's another matter."
Kazuma pointed to himself: "Is this Kiryu?"
Okada nodded repeatedly.
"Am I already that famous?"
"Basically, anyone who buys Fang Chun, the weekly magazine, knows about you, Tongyu, right! Our troupe is full of people who target the show business circle, and most of them have the habit of buying Fang Chun to pay attention to the gossip in the show business circle."
He Ma: "I thought those were fans who followed stars."
"Of course not. According to the people in the group, Fang Chun, who reads the weekly magazine, can judge who is the big thunder and who wants to go around, and who is the thigh who needs to be hugged. Tongyu, you are now recognized as the thigh, and many people think that you will definitely leave film and television route."
He Ma scratched his head: "Why do they have such an illusion?"
"There are rumors that the Academy Awards will set up an action director award starting this year." Okada Anri looked at Kazuma, "It is said that it is for you. Last year, your performance in "Tokyo Express" was awarded by a certain big director. If you want me to say, President Sang wants to be a scarlet girl, you don’t need to follow the troupe route at all, just hug Kiryu’s thigh tightly.”
Rinan Rina sighed for a long time: "Becoming the exclusive actress of a senior is much more difficult than debuting in a theater troupe. The main reason is that there are too many strong competitors."
He Ma interrupted her: "The main reason is that I don't want to take the film and television route at all."
"That's what you said," Rinan Rina looked at Kazuma resentfully, "You still wrote songs again for little sister Qingliu."
"That's because I don't have money, okay?" Hema said in a poor voice, "Qingliu needs to read the pitch, but most of the high schools with music subjects are expensive private schools, do you think I think so? If I have something different How do you get money, do you think I will write songs?"
After all, it is plagiarism. Although no one can punish this kind of plagiarism that spans time and space, He Ma still feels uneasy in his conscience.
After all, not everyone is Guo Jingming with such a thick skin.
When he told Ma that he had no money, Anri Okada looked at Honami in confusion.
Honami drank tea from a teacup in an elegant posture.
Okada Anri shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't intend to delve into Kazuma's housework.
She pulled out the straw of the juice, drank the remaining juice in the glass, put down the glass and said: "If there is nothing else, I will go first."
"Well, I'll trouble you this time."
"It's me, I don't feel like I can help." Okada Anri glanced at Hinansato.
Ninan Licai shook his head again and again: "No, it is of great reference value. Especially the question about whether I like acting is very enlightening."
Okada Anri smiled: "I just took this compliment seriously. See you later. By the way, if Kiryu-san wants to be interviewed, you can call my apartment directly and I will write to you."
He Ma: "Do you still have a phone in your apartment?"
Phone calls in Japan are very long-winded.
"How is that possible? It's the landlord's phone number. Just call Okada at 303." Okada Anri took out a note pad from her bag, wrote the number, tore it off, and handed it to Kazuma.
Kazuma glanced at it, then handed it to Honami.
He kept the habit of his previous life and didn't bring a bag when he went out, so he left everything to Honami for storage.
Okada added: "However, I may not be able to find me if I call recently. I will go to the countryside to collect materials."
When He Ma heard the words "countryside" and "resources", he immediately became energetic, and he looked at Okada seriously: "I will give you a suggestion, you must worship the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva when you see it, and then you must be in awe of the sayings that are spread in the countryside." You can’t break the ban. Also, when you hear about Dvořák’s new world, you must return to your residence.”
Okada Anri looked at Kazuma in surprise: "Why is the suggestion you made, Kiryu-kun, so similar to the one given by the seniors in the troupe?"
That shows that your senior is an experienced person.
He Ma: "This is called a hero who sees the same thing."
According to Tamamo, in a big city like Tokyo, the mysterious power will be very weak, but in the deep mountains where human activities cannot be affected, the mysterious will be strengthened accordingly.
"I'm just going to Hakata to collect wind, not to some ravine, don't worry."
Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "Hakata? Is it the Hakata from Fukuoka?"
Okada asked back: "Is there another Hakata in Japan?"
Hema Fuer: "It's a coincidence. I'm going to Fukuoka to participate in the Jade Dragon Banner in a few days."
"That's right, but you must be accompanied by a group of beauties such as Nanjo classmate, so I won't join in the fun, let's eat ramen together if we can meet." Okada said, made a goodbye gesture, and turned to the coffee shop. door to go.
