"Arimura-chan... stop reading, how many times has this happened?" Riho Yoshioka complained as he lay limply on the floor of the rehearsal room.
"I'll take another look. If you're tired, go back first." Arimura Kasumi said to her.
"How could I leave you to go back alone in this situation!" Riho Yoshioka ruffled his hair irritably: "This is the last time. I will watch it with you for the last time!"
On the other side, Hayato Minakami finally discussed the press conference and shooting schedule with the eldest lady.
Three "Rurouni Kenshin" films were filmed consecutively, and each film required a high investment. Fund allocation, scenery, crew arrangements, etc. all required a complete plan.
This is not only a severe test for director Minakami Hayato, but also a big test for Stargaze. The eldest lady is extremely busy and enjoys it. During the time when she was just working, Minakami Hayato has already seen her more than once. For once he showed an enthusiastic smile.
For Kasumi Arimura, after taking her to the rehearsal room, he played her the audition content and explained where she fell short from the director's perspective.
In terms of acting, she has worked hard enough, but there are some things that cannot be compensated by acting, such as the stability accumulated by age and the natural cold temperament.
Yukiyoba was 19 years old in the original plot. Although she was closer to Kasumi Arimura, many women of that era were mature beyond their years, and so was she.
She was born in the Wu family, her fiancé died, and she found her "enemy" alone. All kinds of complicated emotions made her maturity more obvious.
In contrast, even though Kenshin has killed so many people, he is still like a little brother in front of Tomoe, especially Kenshin who occasionally has funny plots in the original version. This is an inexplicable sibling relationship between the two. Be praised by others.
Not to mention being aloof, Xuedaba in the original work has a representative image - the fragrance of white plums.
As the saying goes, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold", the artistic conception represented by plum blossoms does not need to be much, and the ova version specifically strengthens this intention.
"Arimura, you are still too cute."
Hearing this sentence from Mizunakura Hayabusa, Amura Kasumi couldn't feel happy.
After watching Minakami Hayato again, she understood the difference and fully accepted the result. However, after Minakami Hayato left, she seemed to be in a daze and replayed it over and over again.
Riho Yoshioka pointed at the beginning, saying "Maki Horikita's performance is not much better", "There is not much difference between the two of you", "In fact, I should choose you" and other lines with strong bias. Later, I’m too lazy to talk about it. Anyway, it’s just a replay of Arimura Kasumi’s actions.
When Minato Hayato left the eldest lady's office and was thinking about who to go to for time management tonight, he remembered that Riho Yoshioka happened to be at the company, so he made a call.
"What? She's still watching? What about you? Help you? Hahahahaha, okay, I'll come right away." Mizuna Hayato walked towards the rehearsal room happily.
"Excuse me~" Hayato Minato opened the door, poked his head in, and immediately saw Arimura Kasumi squatting in front of the screen watching the replay: "Why are you still watching? It's dinner time."
"Ah, Minakami-kun." Arimura Kasumi was startled and pressed pause.
"Mizumi-kun~~~" Yoshioka Riho pounced on him pitifully, hugged Mizunakatsu Hayato and rubbed him in his arms, like an aggrieved little fox: "I don't want to watch the replay anymore..."
"Okay, okay, I won't watch anymore." Mizuna Hayato rubbed her head.
Then he looked at Arimura Kasumi in a funny way: "Look what you've done to her."
"R-I'm sorry..." Arimura Kasumi seemed to have just realized what she had done, and her face suddenly turned red.
"You can't see much new things after seeing so much. It's only a few minutes in total." Hayato Minakami said.
"I just want to...study."
"What's there to learn from this?" said Hayato Mizuna: "You have to learn from it when the filming is finished and it is released. Learn from the whole movie. The more important thing now is not to think about the role of Yukidaiba. Your morning drama How’s the character doing?”
"I will also cheer for that role." Arimura Kasumi replied.
"Okay, playing this role well should bring your fame to a higher level. This is an opportunity that the eldest lady has finally given you. You have to work hard."
"OK."
Arimura Kasumi agreed, but after hearing his words and thinking that Yukiyoba was also the eldest lady who practiced with her and spent a lot of effort, a sense of disappointment suddenly came to her heart.
Sometimes when she learns the result, she may not be too disappointed. Only when she thinks back on it, will she feel more and more regretful. Even if she had to do it over again, it would be difficult to change the fact that she is now trapped in a trap. This kind of weird circle.
"Okay, I'm here to give you a guarantee. If you play this role well, I'll give you a new movie heroine next year after I finish filming these Rurouni Kenshin movies." Hayato Minakami said.
This is what he suddenly remembered. The original work of the movie "Bottom Hot Girl", which made Arimura Kasumi famous, should be published soon. There will be no image restrictions for that character. The lovely Arimura Kasumi plays the role. Not bad at picking up hot girls, impressive.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Really?"
"Really?!!!"
Even louder than Kasumi Arimura, who was promised the heroine, was Riho Yoshioka who took the opportunity to hug Minakami Hayato.
Riho Yoshioka stared at her with big eyes, a look of disbelief on his face, as if to say: "What about me?"
She obviously came first to become an assistant and to complete the sublimation of revolutionary friendship, but so far she has only collaborated with Minakami Hayato on an instant noodle commercial.
Although that advertisement was indeed very popular, and the image of the little fox has become her representative, but an advertisement is still an advertisement after all, how can it compare with the heroine in the movie?
"Don't get excited, you have it too." Said Mizuna Hayato.
"Really?!" Riho Yoshioka said in surprise.
"Yeah, I have a new ad for you."
"...Why is it an advertisement again?"
"Not just a performance, but also a song, which is guaranteed to make you a hit!"
"Oh..." The smile on Yoshioka Riho's face gradually disappeared.
"You don't want it? Then I'll give it to Yuko." Mizuna Hayato smiled.
"No, I want it!" Riho Yoshioka said anxiously.
"Okay, let's do this for now. It's dinner time. Let's have dinner together?" Hayato Minato invited Yoshioka Riho and Arimura Kasumi.
Arimura Kasumi nodded in agreement, but to his surprise, Yoshioka Riho looked at Arimura Kasumi, and after thinking for a moment, he actually chose to refuse.
"Forget it, I'm tired and want to go home and rest." Riho Yoshioka sighed and said, "You can take Mura-chan to eat. She is in a bad mood. Take her to eat something good."
