Inside a high-end cafe in Tokyo.
"Good afternoon. Watanabe-san, Ayase-san."
"Good afternoon, Sato-san."
Shizuka Sato carried her bag and walked to the table that Ayase Haruka and her agent had already booked, and greeted them.
"Please sit down." Ayase Haruka said, pointing to the chair.
"Hi, thanks."
Sato Shizuka sat across from the two of them. At this time, the waiter saw that they had one more person, and he consciously came up to greet them.
"Do you need anything?" the waitress said, holding the small note in her arms.
"A glass of ice cream, thank you."
"Hi, please wait a moment." After saying that, the waiter left.
Sato Shizuka looked at the two people opposite her. She couldn't figure out where the Great Condor had offended or involved Ayase Haruka, and Ayase Haruka had to go to such trouble to find her.
"Excuse me, what's going on?" Sato Shizuka had to ask nervously at this time.
"That's it, Sato-san, take a look at this first."
Ayase Haruka handed the mobile phone in her hand to Sato Shizuka. What was displayed on it was the chat history between her and the Great Condor. The time was basically from morning to night, and it was available in various time periods, especially in the early hours of the night. Oh my god, Shizuka Sato watched the copy of the two's chat for more than ten minutes.
"This is what Taka-chan has been talking to me about every day since she returned to Tokyo. Look at what she said." Haruka Ayase said, swiping the screen to point to a few places for Shizuka Sato to see.
At first glance, the entire chat copy seems fine, just like a pair of sisters chatting normally, but there is something wrong with the title.
'elder sister'
Originally, the Great Condor only called Haruka Ayase Sister, and this was also based on the fact that when filming "Sea Street Diary", Haruka Ayase was called Haruka this name due to her status, but now she directly omits Haruka and calls her sister, with a more tone. We got a lot closer, but most of the chat was about things in Kamakura.
This seems a little weird. This is all in the past, we can talk about it, but the length will not be so large. The Great Condor almost always talks about the lives of the four people in Kamakura.
For example, at 4:52 a.m. on December 31, the Great Condor sent a message to Ayase Haruka:
[Sister, I miss home, I want to go back, I miss you...o(╥﹏╥)o]
"This..." Sato Shizuka was a little confused.
"I think..." Ayase Haruka frowned and said seriously.
"Taka-chan doesn't seem to have stepped out of Asano Suzu's character."
The word "immersion" is not commonly used in the entertainment industry, but it is definitely not unusual. Many times, actors may get too involved in the drama for some reasons, and break away from their own personalities and enter the role they are supposed to play. In the role, it has become the role played.
For example, in a 1980 horror movie, "The Shining," the director asked the heroine Shelly to train for several months before filming started. The intense training allowed her to explode emotionally after the filming officially started, and she successfully interpreted the role. However, during filming, Afterwards, Shelly collapsed, causing considerable mental damage to her.
"What should we do?" Sato Shizuka also paid attention to it.
"Taka-chan worked too hard in the first scene and was too deep into the role. As a result, her personality and cognition are now very close to Asano Rei. At this time, Taka-chan needs guidance. She needs to relax, stay cheerful, and have a good rest as soon as possible. Help her get over her emotional lows and the impact of the role.”
Ayase Haruka and Sato Shizuka said that many actors in Japan have encountered this situation. Although she has not experienced it personally, she can also provide some useful methods for the Great Condor.
"She is a little cognitively confused now. You are her manager. You have to try to guide her out. Xiafan and Yami on my side will also help."

"Boom! Okay, "Where is Nogizaka?" has begun! We are the host Banana Man, please give us your advice."
"Please give me more advice."
In the recording hall, the two hosts spoke the opening remarks skillfully. Shitara Fukagawa was wearing a gray sweater and red lining, which looked a little joyful.
"Then Nogizaka-chan!"
The camera in the center of the recording hall rose from the ground, overlooking everyone. There were four rows of members sitting on the trapezoidal steps. They were all wearing dark green uniforms and waving and gesticulating towards the camera. Looking at it this way, it's hard to see the big condor sitting in the corner, clapping in a daze.
"There are so many people."
"Basically everyone is here."
"Does anyone know why there are so many people today?" Shitaku looked at them knowingly and asked.
"Hahaha."
The members all laughed out loud. How could there be such a gathering of people and not for a selection announcement?
"Well, let's talk about today's plan first." Shitara straightened his body and looked at the camera seriously. "Himura-san."
"Hi. 11 singles, the single selection members are announced~!"
"Wow..."
The recording hall was filled with applause.
"Okay, then, this is the announcement of the selected members for the 11th single. This show also holds the announcement of the selected members for every single. Today is the 11th time."
"Hi."
Shitakutong still has the right to control the home court.
"By the way, Sayuri Inoue and Seira Nagashima can't come because of some things. Ah, Inoue is sick. Nagashima said it's because of time conflicts."
"It's a pity."
"That's right. The weather has gotten colder recently, so members should pay more attention to their health." Shitara looked at the members with a hint of fondness. "Of course, if you have as much fat as Himura, you can ignore my words."
"Hello!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
This is also a way for them to relax before publishing.
"The formation of the eleven orders is like this."
This time the publisher was changed to someone named 'Daisuke Takahashi'.
After saying that, a prepared selection lineup chart appeared on the big screen outside the stadium, but the names of the people in each position were not marked yet. There are 18 people in total, which is two more people than the previous order.
"Oh, 18 people."
"There are so many people this time."
The two hosts also sighed in front.
"This time we upgraded to 18 people."
"The scope has been expanded."
"That's right."
"Hey, the ten members in the first and second rows combined are the ten gods of good fortune this time." After the two people finished teasing, the poster continued.
"I see." Shitara Tong touched his chin and nodded. "Which row should I start from?"
"Don't they usually start from the 18th position, the last one? It should be the same this time, right?" Yuki Himura guessed.
"This time we will start from the second row." The announcer pointed to the selection lineup at the other end. "Then the first row, and finally the third row. Announce in this order."
"Huh?" the members all asked.
"Usually the first one is published last." Yuki Himura asked quickly when he saw that he had guessed wrong. "What happened this time?"
"Yes, this time it's actually in the order of 2, 1, 3. Then let's start publishing the 11 orders immediately, Takahashi-san, thank you for your work."
"Hi." Daisuke Takahashi glanced at the form on the table, "First, No. 10."
"Mai Fukawa."
The order of the second row from left to right is 6.7.8.9.10. And Mai Fukawa is on the far right in the second row. Next, the candidates for 6.9.7 were announced, namely Akimoto Manatsu, Sakurai Reika, and Ikoma Rina.
“I feel like I have to keep working hard with the goal of moving forward.”
"Well, I hope you can do your best."
"Hi. Please take care of me."
After saying that, Rina Ikoma went over and stood in position 7.
"Then the last one in the second row will be next." Shitara noticed that only the middle chair in the second row was unoccupied.
"No. 8, the Great Condor."
"Wow..." Everyone clapped.
The Great Condor stood up in the corner, but for some reason his eyes were red, as if he had just finished crying. Walked from the fourth step to the middle, walked down step by step, and stood next to Shitara Tong.
"Eagle." Commander Shitara repeated her name, "Congratulations."
"Thank you." The great condor bowed and said.
"What do you think? This time I am still the God of Fortune in the second row."
The Great Condor stood there, looking at the tiles under her feet, silent, but the tears came out before her words. This was also the first time she shed tears on the show. She wiped them away, but the tears continued to flow out and slide down.
"I...don't know if I am really suitable for this place and this position." The Great Condor said while looking at the ceiling, trying to keep the tears in his eyes for a while.
It was the first time that Shitakutong and the two people around him saw the great condor crying so fiercely, and they did not interrupt.
"perhaps..."
The Great Condor spent a long time talking, but he didn't know how to express his emotions. Instead, he tended to cry more and more fiercely.
"Well, if you are in this position, it must be because you have the strength and the ability to take on the responsibility. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Even if the other party did something wrong, Yamato Rina was pressed on the head and apologized. The good friend who thought they had a good relationship and could sleep together in the same bed thought Saito Asuka just regarded him as a junior, and robbed him while eating. The senior of Food in the Lunchbox, Erika Ikuta.
Kamakura is as gentle as water, Tokyo is as cold as ice, and friends who should be close are becoming more and more alienated. In addition, I left Hokkaido at a young age. I say I miss home, but at such a young age, I should be. The treasure she was protecting in her hands came to this strange city alone. As time went by, the longing for home hidden in her heart became stronger and stronger. In addition, when filming in Kamakura, Ayase Haruka and the other two treated her like sisters. He treated the three of them as his real family members in a subtle way.
At this time, the great condor felt that he was covered in a big net called indifference and could not breathe, and slowly retracted into the shell of 'Asano Rei'.
