I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 50: Goodbye to old classmates
On the second day after returning from the hot spring, Kazuma met Anri Okada at a coffee shop in Shibuya under the arrangement of Honami.
and Ma looked around strangely.
Bonami, who came with him, patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing?"
"Did Tagu-san go to the toilet?" Kazuma asked suspiciously.
Honami gently stepped on Kazuma under the chair.
Okada Anri was drinking juice, she put down the juice when she heard Kazuma's words, looked at the table and sighed.
"Everyone has their own peach blossom season, but mine just bloomed a little later." Okada Anri said.
Kazuma used a cough to hide the embarrassment on his face: "Cough, so, let's get down to business. You should know this guy, right?"
Okada Anri glanced at Nichinan Rica, and nodded: "Of course I know, President Sang. Miss Bei Gao and the three Kiryu sisters killed indistinguishable beautiful girls."
This is about what happened at the Beijing High School Beauty Pageant at the Cultural Festival in the third year of high school.
Kazuma: "What the **** are the three Kiryu sisters?"
"Everyone calls Nanjo, Fujii and Jinguji that behind their backs." Anri Okada smiled and changed the topic, "Let's get down to business, it shouldn't be a reminiscence of the past, right?"
Kazuma nodded, glanced at Nichinan Rica, and said, "It's about Nichinan's future approach. She wants to go to a normal university first, and then participate in theater activities during the university."
Okada Anri stared at Nichinan for a few seconds: "Do you want to continue to follow the line of showbiz? Wouldn't it be better to directly find the relationship with the readers and models back then?"
"No, I won't go that way again. I'll never do anything like pillow business again." Niannan Licai said firmly.
Okada Anri understood at once: "So that's how it is."
Kazuma: "You know how fast."
"Because there are a lot of good-looking girls in our troupe, they just graduated from the idol development agency because they don't want to be unspoken and do not want to be in business, so they came to the troupe to start from small roles."
Okada Anri said while taking a gulp of juice.
"Because of this, this road is actually very difficult to walk, because it is already overcrowded. In contrast, it is a little easier for me to become a screenwriter. It's a hit."
He Ma said "oh": "I see."
Okada Anri was sucking the juice while staring at Nichinan Rica, and asked suspiciously: "Why do you have to go this way for a beautiful girl like you? It's not normal to marry a regular member of a big company. Okay? You can find a private university that is easier to go to and get a diploma, and then naturally seniors from the university will pull you to participate in that kind of networking and blind date activities."
Japan is now entering the eve of the bubble era, and there will be at least ten years of prosperity in the future. According to Okada Anri, it is also a good way out, at least before the bubble bursts and can have a prosperous life.
As for the fragmentation, the regular members of large enterprises are all 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 infiltrate a large company and become an official member is considered a quasi-upper class in Japan.
After the bubble burst, it was the people in the middle and lower classes who were really unlucky.
Niinan Rina looked directly at Okada Anri and asked, "Then why did Okada-senpai 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, if Okada-senpai is determined, you can make yourself look good."
Okada Anri was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Because I like writing stories, I want to try to support myself by writing stories. Does Chairman Sang like acting? If you don't like acting, just take this as a As another way to enter the showbiz, I..."
Okada Anri hesitated for a few seconds when he said this, then shook his 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 for Hiyo. President If Sang wants to come to our troupe, I will connect you."
Kazuma looked sideways at Nichinan Rina's face, and noticed that she had a thoughtful expression.
Rina Niinan noticed Kazuma's gaze and asked, "Do I have to like acting to go this route?"
Kazuma: "Not necessarily, there are only a few people who can do the jobs they like. Most people do not engage in a certain industry because they like it. It's more a coincidence."
Just like Kiryu and Ma in his previous life, he didn't like to sell things to foreigners before he became a sales representative. If he really wanted to choose according to his own preferences, he might become an independent game developer or a psychiatrist.
Looking back on his job search experience, it seems that he entered the foreign trade industry through a series of coincidences, and then because he was good at bragging, he did a good job.
Niinan Licai was not satisfied with the answer from Hema, and continued to ask: "Is it a coincidence that you want to become a police officer?"
"Yeah," Kazuma shrugged, "if Xiaoqian hadn't stopped me from selling the dojo, I would have sold the dojo long ago and lived a prosperous life by speculation. But there are no assumptions in life. If I can't sell it, I have a feud with Ji Dao again, so I can only go the police route and become the Chief Inspector of Police, so as to pacify those Ji Dao."
Honami touched Kazuma with her knee under the table, only then did he realize that Anri Okada was looking at him with bright eyes.
"It's great," Anri Okada said as soon as he met Kazuma's eyes, "Can you tell me in detail about the feud with the pole?"
Kazuma: "Didn't I tell you before?"
"You only said that you and Ji Dao had a little friction because of the sale of 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 the weekly Fang Chun, the real situation is not as exciting as what they wrote."
"This kind of thing is more valuable than the first-hand impression of the client."
"But now we are discussing the approach of Japanese cuisine."
Anri Okada stared at Kazuma for a few seconds, then sighed: "Okay. But when you are willing to accept my material, be sure to call me and let me know."
He replied vaguely with Ma, and then his eyes turned back to Niinan Licai: "So, have you made up your mind?"
Nichinan Rina nodded vigorously: "I've made up my mind. If I find a career I love halfway through, I'll switch to this career. Before that, I want to work hard to become a Hiro."
"Then it's the same as before, you go to a decent university first, and then ask Okada to introduce you to the troupe."
Anri Okada nodded: "I 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 successfully made several girls give up her dream of becoming an actress and seriously plan to get married."
"Really?" Kazuma looked at Okada suspiciously, suspecting that she was frightening Nichinan.
Okada: "Really, everyone said in private that there must be something wrong with such a guy coming to a small troupe like us. She should go to those big troupes that are active in Ginza to shine. /
"When she arrives at that kind of troupe, she will definitely be spotted by the big director and make her debut.
"Our small troupe doesn't have any big directors' attention at all. The last senior who made his debut was on the right track because he was accidentally caught by a fledgling up-and-coming director 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 your previous performance of Macbeth? How do I remember the actress in that play? The performance is average?"
"That's because she played Macbeth in that play." Anri Okada said while stirring the juice with her habit to make the crumbs of the pulp float, "If she plays a female role, all female characters will The aura will be suppressed and become dull. The director said that in order to avoid this situation, she can only play a male to weaken her aura."
Bonami made an "oh" sound: "It's Macbeth, that's understandable, that Macbeth is really good at acting, handsome and crazy, if I don't already have someone I like, maybe I will. Become a big fan of him."
He Ma was caught off guard by the sudden straight ball, so he could only drink coffee like the big fox.
Okada Anri looks like a girl started gossip: "Isn't it? It's amazing, right? After the performance, we received a lot of gifts, all for her who played Macbeth, and Niu. The manager of the Lang Club came here. It was obviously a small performance in a small theater."
Nichinan Rica: "Why does it sound like a boy from the Takarazuka Theater?"
The Takarazuka Troupe is all women, so when male actors are needed, female troupe members are dressed as men.
Takarazuka will have a special "men's role", which is simply a professional girl who disguises herself as a man and plays a male role. These girls have even more appeal among the upper class women in Japan than Guinness and other firms. Those handsome male entertainers.
Even some women from big families, from grandmother to mother to daughter, are fans of Takarazuka Theater's male role for three generations.
Nichinan Rina continued: "This person is so good at acting as a male character, why didn't he go to Takarazuka? If he becomes a STAR with his acting skills, the future of the entertainment industry can be expected."
He Ma responded casually: "I have no money."
"Huh? Did you go to Takarazuka to ask for money? Shouldn't the troupe pay you the salary after passing the selection?"
Kazuma shook his head: "That was true in the past, so there were many girls from civilian backgrounds in the Takarazuka Theater Company. But later, because of labor disputes, the girls from the Takarazuka Theater Company launched a strike with the support of the left wing."
Nichinan Rica's mouth opened into an O shape.
Kazuma: "The result of the strike seemed to be that the girls won, but after that, the chaebol behind the Takarazuka Theater Company spent more than five years to purge the left-wing forces from Takarazuka and related industries, so the theater company's The door is forever closed to the common people."
"That..." Okada Anri asked in a low voice, "Kiryu-san, shouldn't you join in the university..."
"No, not at all." Kazuma flatly denied.
"I haven't said what to join yet."
"It goes without saying that I know it. I didn't join. Please look at who I am dealing with now, how could I join."
Honami raised the teacup with a very formal and elegant gesture and sipped the lipstick tea.
Okada Anri looked at Honami and whispered, "But in the story, a young lady like Nanjo-san would 100% betray her class for love."
Honami coughed, probably because she swallowed the tea just a little faster and choked.
Okada Anri seemed to have learned something from Honami's actions, she shrugged: "Alright, recently, due to the troupe's activities, I have come into contact with some seniors in drama, and I am not surprised by these. ."
Honami cleared her throat: "Aren't you discussing Nichinan's way out now?"
Nichinan Rica: "As soon as the topic turned in a bad direction, you pulled me out? That's all, I'm very interested in the seniors of this troupe. Can you introduce me? According to you, next year she will be Maybe she made her debut and isn't in the troupe, right? Then let me meet her now?"
Anri Okada showed a troubled expression: "Now the troupe's activities are temporarily over, and it will not resume until the school starts in September. I don't have any personal relationships with that person. After all, they are the absolute core of the troupe, TOP STAR, I just An errand guy.
"In September, we will start rehearsing a new repertoire. It should be King Lear. You can come and see it then. When the rehearsal is over, I will find an opportunity for you to meet. Don't get your hopes up... "
Okada Anri suddenly stopped and looked at Kazuma: "Ah, if 'that Kiryu' wants to meet TOP STAR, that's another story."
Kazuma pointed to himself: "Is this Kiryu?"
Okada nodded repeatedly.
"Am I already that famous?"
"Basically, everyone who buys Weekly Fang Chun knows about you, Kiryu-kun! All of us in the troupe have the showbiz as their goal, and most of them have the habit of Buyer Chun to pay attention to the gossip about the showbiz."
Kazuma: "I thought those fans were chasing stars to pay attention."
"Of course not. According to the people in the regiment, Fang Chun can tell who is the big thunder to walk around and who is the thigh to hug. According to the people in the group, there are many people who think that you are a thigh. It will definitely take the 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 direction award from this year," Okada Anri looked at Kazuma, "Said that it was for you. Last year, your performance in "Tokyo Express" won a certain award. Appreciation from a great director. If you want me to say, President Sang wants to be Feiyou, he doesn't need to go the theater troupe route at all, just hug Kiryu's thigh tightly."
Niinan Rina let out a long sigh: "Being a senior's exclusive actress is much harder than making a debut as a troupe, mainly because there are too many strong competitors."
He Ma interrupted her: "The main reason is that I don't want to go the film and television route at all."
"That's what I said," Nianna Rica looked at Kazuma resentfully, "You still wrote songs for little sister Qingliu again."
"That's because I don't have money, okay?" Kazuma made a poor voice, "Qingliu needs to read the pitch, but most of the high schools with music are privately owned by the dead, do you think I think? I If there was another way to get money, do you think I would write songs?"
After all, that is plagiarism. Although no one can sanction this kind of plagiarism that spans time and space, I still feel uneasy in my conscience.
After all, not everyone is Guo Jingming and has such a thick skin.
When he told Ma that he had no money, Anri Okada cast a bewildered look at Honami.
Honami drank tea from a teacup in an elegant posture.
Anri Okada shrugged, as if she didn't want to get into Kazuma's housework.
She pulled out the juice straw, 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."
"I'm the one, I don't feel like I'm of any help." Okada Anri glanced at Nichinan cuisine.
Niannan Ricai shook her head repeatedly: "No, it's very useful for reference. Especially the question of whether I like acting is very inspiring."
Anri Okada smiled: "I took this compliment seriously. See you later. By the way, if Kiryu-san wants to accept the material, you can call my apartment directly and I will write to you."
Kazuma: "Do you still have a phone in your apartment?"
It's very verbose to make phone calls here in Japan.
"How could it be? It's the landlord's phone number. Just call Okada at 303."
Kazuma glanced at it and handed it to Honami.
He kept the habit of his previous life~IndoMTL.com~ without carrying a bag when he went out, so he left everything to Honami for storage.
Okada added: "But I probably couldn't find me recently. I will go to the countryside to collect materials."
Hema immediately became energetic when he heard "countryside" and "resources", and he looked at Okada seriously: "I give you a suggestion, you must worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva when you see it, and then you must pay attention to those sayings spread in the countryside. Be in awe and don't break the ban. Also, when you hear Dvorak's new world, you must return to your home."
Okada Anri looked at Kazuma with a surprised look: "Why is your suggestion, Kiryu-kun, so similar to the one given by the seniors in the troupe?"
That means your senior is an experienced person.
He Ma: "This is called a hero sees the same thing."
According to Tamamo, in a big city like Tokyo, the power of mystery will be very weak, but in the deep mountains where human activities are not affected, the mystery will be strengthened accordingly.
"I'm just going to Hakata to collect folklore, not some ravine, don't worry."
Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "Hakata? Is that Hakata from Fukuoka?"
Okada asked: "Is there another Hakata in Japan?"
He Ma Fu'e: "It's a coincidence. I'm going to go to Fukuoka to participate in the Jade Dragon Flag in a few days."
"That's right, but you must be accompanied by Nanjo classmates and other beautiful women. I won't join in the fun. Let's eat ramen together if we can." Okada said with a goodbye gesture and turned to the coffee. Go to the door of the store.
