In an office building in Tokyo, the Great Condor was sitting on a chair in a lounge, sleeping soundly with his head tilted on Shizuka Sato's shoulder. After waking up early in the morning and rushing to take photos for the magazine, they came here non-stop. As Nogizaka's reputation grew, the members' external affairs gradually increased, and the Great Condor's schedule became even more full. It's full. Fortunately, she's not old enough to get off work early in the evening.
There are a few girls sitting scattered in the lounge. If you are a person who often pays attention to Japanese movies or TV series, you will find that these are all new faces that have appeared in the public eye in recent years.
"Great Eagle-san, are you there?"
Not long after the previous auditioners had entered, the staff returned to the lounge and called the next actor by name on the list to come in for the audition.
"Here," Shizuka Sato responded, raising her hand. Then she pinched the big condor's face unceremoniously and forcibly lifted her head off her shoulders. She even shook her head and said, "Wake up, it's your turn."
"Huh? Well..."
Stimulated by a sharp pain, she woke up and opened her eyes drowsily. After a while, she remembered that she was here for an audition today.
"plz follow me."
I followed the staff to a small conference room next door. There was a long table in the conference room with many chairs, but not many people. There were four people in total. Supervisor Nakano Yuta and three other women, respectively. It is Kato Mano who is responsible for the costumes, and Chiba Yuko and Sakai Yugetsu are responsible for the hair design.
"Hello everyone, this is the first time we meet. I am no... the Great Condor. Please give me your advice."
The Great Condor greeted the four of them politely, but due to a long-standing habit, he would use the name "Nogizaka" most of the time in such public places, so he almost said it out of hand just now.
"Hello, I am the supervisor this time, Nakano Yuta."
The middle-aged man wearing glasses and a beard said.
"はい."
After finishing speaking, Nakano Yuta and the three people around him murmured something in a low voice, and continued: "Please turn around, let's take a look at the front, side and back."
"oh..."
This was slightly different from the previous audition method in "Haijie Diary". Although she felt a little strange, she still did it.
"Please tie your hair up." Chiba Yuko, who was sitting next to her, said.
The great condor gathered up the hair at the back and raised it high, revealing its fair neck.
"Okay, that's all, thank you." After Chiba Yuko finished speaking, she scribbled on the notebook in front of her.
"I have a question, um... Well, if there is a need for sex in the plot, it means that you can only wear underwear and underwear. Can you accept it?"
Nakano Yuota asked, trying to figure out the vocabulary.
"Forehead..."
When he asked this question, the Great Condor was stunned. Privately, she feels that she won't show it if she can, and she would be shy in front of strangers. But Yu Gong, if it is a movie requirement, as an actor, the plot of the movie must be the first priority, and it is not completely nude, which is acceptable.
"no problem."
While the Great Condor was having an ideological struggle, Sato Shizuka next to her helped her make a decision.
"good."
Nakano Shota glanced at the Great Condor, and then returned his eyes to Sato Shizuka, without turning to question the Great Condor's thoughts.
"That's it. I will notify you of the audition results via email tomorrow. Thank you for coming here."
Nakano Yuta stood up and spoke to the two of them, making gestures to indicate that they could leave.
"plz follow me."
The staff member who had just brought them in opened the door and led them out. After a brief explanation, they were informed that they could leave, and then walked into the lounge and called the next auditionee in.
"Just...done?"
Da Shenying was in a daze. She felt that this audition was too simple and fast.
"Hmm... Well, it probably has something to do with the quality of the audition this time. The people who came to audition this time all have some acting experience, so the audition should be omitted. The focus may be on the actor's appearance, etc. Let’s see if it’s a suitable role for this drama.” Shizuka Sato thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh fine."
The two stood in the elevator and pressed the floor button.
"Hey, no, why did you agree to the request just now?"
Standing in the elevator, the Great Condor thought that Sato Shizuka had just agreed to Nakano Yuta's request without her consent.
"If you think about it, what's the difference between wearing underwear and underwear and taking a photo? Think about Hashimoto and Nishino. They have done this in magazines. If you haven't done it now, you will do it in the future. Sooner or later, it will be the same. , it’s better to try it earlier, then it won’t hurt later, right?”
"..."
When the Great Condor thought about it, it seemed that it did make sense.
"The event that Nogizaka will attend will be at 1 p.m., there is still some time, you can take a break." Sato Shizuka said after looking at the Great Condor's schedule.
"Then can you call the car over so I can sleep in it?"
"No, are you sleeping at noon? It's time to eat." Shizuka Sato clicked on the glass screen of her phone and said, the time on it showed 11:13.
"But I'm not hungry..."
"Every time you're not hungry at noon, you have to eat even if you're not hungry this time. No matter what your schedule is. There's a cafe down there. Eat something. You can sleep on the way there later."
"Okay, okay." Knowing that she couldn't defeat Sato Shizuka, the Great Condor had no choice but to obey her.
The two came out of the company and walked into a cafe called 'PRONTO' within a few steps of crossing the street. 'PRONTO' is a local Italian-style cafe in Japan. Its signature is yellow letters on a green background with a star and moon LOGO.
As soon as he entered the door, Da Shenying saw many people queuing at the bar. It seemed that business was booming.
"What do you want to drink?" Sato Shizuka asked.
"Bingmei."
"Where's the food?"
"I'm really not hungry..."
"I think I ordered it for you, so you have to eat it for me." Sato Shizuka glared at her with an eyebrow raised, "You go find a seat first."
"oh..."
The Great Condor glanced around and saw that there were not many people in each seat, basically one or two, but they were all full and there were no empty seats.
"Excuse me, can we share a table?"
Finally, the Great Condor found a table where someone was sitting alone by the window, and she asked softly.
"Huh? Well... okay."
The woman sitting on the seat looked up and stared at the big condor through the thick glasses for a few seconds before speaking slowly.
"Thanks."
After receiving permission, the Great Condor sat opposite her.
The woman wears white-framed glasses and has short, smart hair. However, she wears very casual clothes, with a big gap. How should I say, she just covers her lower body and only looks at her face. She thinks she is an urban beauty, but it looks like The whole body can be properly labeled as a 'home girl'.
The woman calmly collected the scattered papers on the table and gathered them close to her to make room for the big condor.
I had nothing to do and took a look at the long queue. Sato Shizuka was still sitting at the back. It seemed that I had to wait for a long time after ordering something. But the papers scattered on the table caught her attention.
"You...are a cartoonist?"
The Great Condor asked.
"Well, that's right."
The woman lowered her head and was still painting without raising her head, but the pen tip paused slightly.
"Can I see these?" the great condor asked carefully.
After hearing that it was a comic drawn, the Great Condor also became interested. Since I had nothing to do now, I simply asked if I could take a look at the comic manuscript. However, this question was relatively private, so she asked it cautiously first.
"Look." The woman said silently, "Don't get it dirty."
"Uh-huh."
The big condor nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then carefully picked up the manuscript and read it.
The manuscript is very messy and the order has been lost. Although it is just a simple line drawing, you can still see the characteristics of each character and there is no confusion. The cartoonist opposite still has two brushes. There are two brushes in the manuscript. The most common one is an indifferent young man with black hair, who looks like he has facial paralysis, and seems to be murderous without blinking an eye. This should be the protagonist.
From her personal point of view, I can't say she likes it. Such a protagonist is not common. If it is a supporting role, it may be excellent, but as the protagonist, she always feels that something is missing.
"Didi didi~"
Just when she was halfway through reading, the woman opposite's cell phone rang.
"Editor, please tell me." The woman answered the phone and covered the receiver with her other hand. Because she was in a public place, she deliberately lowered her voice.
"Hero, I will change it."
"But it's more troublesome..."
"はい, はい. But I think this is more distinctive."
"Okay...please let me think about it again."
The sound on the mobile phone is messy, but the Great Eagle can hear most of the content clearly. It seems to be due to the minor conflicts between the protagonist of this work. The editor there thinks that the story of the entire comic is relatively dark, and the protagonist cannot be the same. Considering the cold appearance, considering the young readers, the editor suggested changing the protagonist's personality to be more sunny, but the female author still felt that the current setting was good, but in the end she compromised.
"well..."
After hanging up the phone, the woman sighed, picked up the coffee cup next to her, took a sip, and smoothed her bangs on her forehead, trying to refresh herself. Looking at the two empty coffee cups and the dinner plate with crumbs on her table, it was unclear how long the woman had been here.
"Well... although I'm not a professional and can't give a bad review, I do have a good idea. Could you please refer to it?"
Holding the sketch, the Great Condor looked at the characters on the paper and asked carefully.
"..." The woman raised her head and looked at the great condor. She did not refuse, and seemed to acquiesce to her statement.
"From what I've seen, the protagonist should be a relatively cold person in the setting, right? Such a character is very rare among protagonists. On the other hand, I don't know the specific plot of your comic, but It should be related to ghosts or something like that. I think this... is quite bloody. It's better to design the protagonist's character to be gentler, not to say cheerful..."
The Great Condor tried to describe the character in his mind, but he couldn't find the right words.
"You don't look like you are involved in the world?" After hearing this, the female cartoonist opposite her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands on the table and stood up and asked.
In an instant, everyone in the cafe looked over. The noise she made was really loud.
"Uh, um. That's the feeling. But he's not a child. He's mature in mind, but very gentle in personality. Now, look, there's such a protagonist in such a dark comic, and you draw it Don’t worry, the audience will be happy watching it, right?”
"Ah, I understand." The female cartoonist nodded, "I just wanted to portray the protagonist as special so that I could see the difference when compared with other comic protagonists, so I made the painting colder. Yes. Yes, the honest and honest character is also very characteristic, but it is not that there are no protagonists with this character at all, but there are relatively few..."
"If you really care about features, then think of some ideas on the appearance, such as hair color, eye color, etc. Or maybe some scars on the face of an honest and honest person to highlight a contrast and create a sufficient impression of the character."
The Great Condor mentioned the suggestion.
"Appearance...hmm." The female cartoonist thought thoughtfully as she looked at the protagonist on the paper in her hand.
"Here you go, and this. You must eat it for me."
At this time, Sato Shizuka, who had gone to queue to order food early, came over to find the Great Condor and handed her a glass of iced American style and a piece of meat floss bread.
"Ah, thank you."
She had been sleeping without drinking water just now, and now that she had talked so much and wasted so much time, she was already thirsty. She took off the mask and took a few sips without even inserting a straw.
"Ha, no matter how many times I drink it, the taste is still so memorable. Refreshing and refreshing." The Great Condor licked his lips and looked at the coffee in his hand.
"You...you are..."
The female cartoonist opposite saw the big condor's face and immediately recognized her.
Although the female cartoonist usually stays at home and rarely socializes, she has watched many movies. As the popular movie "Haijie Diary" last year, she has the four starring actors firmly in her mind and chatted with her across the street. She couldn't help but be shocked that the person who had been with him for so long was actually the Great Condor who had been talked about a lot recently.
"Shh..." The Great Condor put his index finger between his lips to signal her not to say it, "You keep it a secret for me, and I'll keep it a secret for you."
