552. Imagination
Nine o'clock in the evening.
After a week of delay, Fuji TV's Yuejiu drama "Love in Your Eyes" finally aired its first episode.
The ad is over and the topic is coming.
At the beginning of the TV series, it was a coincidence that three friends from high school from the carriage back to Tokyo.
Starring Miho Nakayama plays a fashionable college student named "Takagi Hitomi". One of her two friends, the old-fashioned girl "Kobayashi Tomoko", who works as a bank employee, is starring actress Tomoko Fujita.
Fujita Sang is a stage drama actor and has not been the same as the actors who debuted as idols. However, she is cheerful and has a good popularity on the shooting site.
Then, there is another friend of Takagi Hitomi, a freelancer, "Masako Hoshiki"...
"No matter how you look at it, I'm a little cuter than Miho-chan."
Momoko Kikuchi, who plays the role of "Matsuko Miko", can't help but murmur when she looks at herself in the TV series who is more fashionable and glamorous than Miho Nakayama in the TV series.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what you say in your own apartment.
However, the person who is more popular and has a better audience is Miho, Zhongshan.
Unlike idol singers who debuted and started acting after their peak period, Miho Nakayama debuted as an actor, and his career focus has always been on actors. Singing is a supplement.
Miho Nakayama attracted a lot of attention when he debuted. The TV series "Mom Idol" starring two years ago caused a sensation.
At that time, she played a popular idol named "Miho Nakayama" in the TV series and married her past teacher. While concealing the fact that she was married, she continued to work, while she was with her teacher's three children, her stepson older than her, and her stepdaughter of the same age, and another stepson of her loyal fans, which caused a series of stories.
After the TV series was broadcast, it hit a high rating of 22.2 on average, becoming Miho Nakayama's representative work.
From this year on, Miho Nakayama has become a top idol, and his career as an actor has been smooth sailing, and his career as a supplement has also been exciting.
It was also this year that Kikuchi Taozi's career began to slide downhill and had to seek transformation.
This is the case in the art world, constantly renewing and replacing. This is even more so for idols. It is already lucky to be able to last for two or three years at the peak.
When you are popular, you will be the protagonist, and after you slide downhill, you will be the supporting role for the new protagonists. You must have this awareness from the time you enter the industry, no matter whether it is difficult or easy to accept.
Two years have passed, since the success of "Mom is an Idol", Miho Nakayama's acting career has continued to rise, becoming the youngest starring Tsukijiu, while Momoko Kikui plays the third role in the TV series.
In the TV series, Takagi Hitomi, a fashionable college student played by Miho Nakayama, fell in love with the beautiful apartment of Daiguanyama, but was unable to bear the high rent alone, so he invited his friend Matsuko Matsuki to share the lease.
It happened that another friend, Kobayashi, had a fire in the bank dormitory where he lived on behalf of him, so he started a living together for three people.
A twenty-year-old college student wants to live in a high-end location like Daiguanshan anyway. This is something that only happens in this era.
Such a beginning is already announcing to the audience that this is an urban drama in the bubble era.
On the day of moving, they knocked on their neighbor's door to deliver a moving gift. As soon as the door opened, the neighbors came out were two male college students who shared their rent.
One of the two was the impetuous young man Suzuki Moto who had caused trouble for Takagi twice within one day, and the other was the repressed young man Kohei who had been introduced to her by Takagi's friend. As a result, when he first met, he kissed her and was rejected and parted with dissatisfaction.
The enemy is narrow in the road, so when you see it, you will be angry.
Although Takagi Hitomi is a little vain, likes handsome guys, and loves to get along with each other, he is a good girl who pays attention to order.
The person who can get the right one step as long as you meet her is more fashionable and glamorous than her, and the role of Mako Kikuchi Momoko.
The role played by Kikuchi Momoko in the TV series was related to several boys in her class in high school. She has been dating since then and there are countless people she has dated. As long as she meets her, it doesn’t matter if she runs home runs that day. She is a girl who is completely out of order.
Takagi Hitomi is not a nose for these two annoying enemies, but Matsuko Masako is already interested in the two handsome guys of the neighbors and wants to have a deeper understanding.
This character is contrary to the personality of Kikuchi Taoko herself, and is completely contrary to the pure-minded route she has been following. Therefore, when she saw herself playing such a role on TV, Kikuchi Taoko was a little embarrassed.
But this hint of shyness passed away in a flash, and she was still focused on watching her performance on TV.
It’s not because of narcissism, but because of observing one’s acting skills, discovering its shortcomings, and improving it.
The character Matsuko Matsuko is of great significance to Kikuchi Peachi.
Since her debut, she has been on the pure line. When she was an idol singer, "pure" could be either a dream lover or a girl next door.
However, to change the track to be an actor, the original image of pure school is worthless.
If you choose such a role that is completely opposite to yourself in reality, whether she or the firm, you will try to break her pure image in the public's mind.
The artistic world is fierce competition. Once your career slides downhill, you have to be a supporting role for the new protagonist. However, when you enter this industry, you must not only have the awareness of being a supporting role when you go downhill, but also have the ambition to wait for an opportunity to return to the peak.
Kikuchi Taozi was not willing to die like many meteor-like idols in more than ten years. She fell after the light was lit up. Therefore, since the sales of records began to decline, she has been constantly seeking new breakthroughs.
Now, in order to broaden the acting career as an actor, this is how it is actively thrown away the pure style. And earlier, Kikuchi Taoko also made a bold attempt in music - forming a band.
Feeling that the peak period had passed, before coming downhill, the company discussed with Taozi Kikuchi and invited professional musicians to form a rock band called "ra·ムー" (la·mu-) to announce the transformation.
Just so happens that the Asahi TV program called "Band Heaven" is being aired, and the public is paying unprecedented attention to the band. Not only that, the program has brought bands of various styles, increasing the public's acceptance of the band type.
With the popularity brought by TV programs and excellent musicians, the quality of the songs provided is also quite high. The company is full of confidence in this transformation-
No matter what, the lead singer of a popular idol transformed into a band has enough topics and is also based on the popularity of the past.
As a result, this transformation failed. Not only did the sales be scattered, but the musicians didn't get along well with each other. After each live performance, they received a lot of bad reviews.
The public doesn't buy the female lead singer of this pure idol who transformed into a band.
The plan to transform into a band was stopped. Although it did not announce the dissolution directly, the company did not mention the new single. Kikuchi Taozi herself also agreed that the transformation failed and cooperated with the company to shift the focus of her work to the actors.
So the role of "Matsuko Matsuko" was born this time, and in order to broaden the acting path, he took the initiative to break the image of the pure school.
The road to transformation is imperative, and this role is of great significance to Kikuchi Taozi.
"The female lead singer's band..."
On the TV, the viewpoint switched to the boy's apartment. Without her camera, Kikuchi Taoko was not very interested in the plot of the TV series and was slightly distracted.
She remembers that the theme song of this TV series was sung by a band with women as the lead singers.
The TV series is still in the filming stage, and the record company that the band belongs to sent staff to distribute the band's single to the main actors of the TV series.
Kikuchi Momoko remembered that after receiving the single, she put it away at will. She had just had a failed band formation experience, and she was not very interested in the band of the female lead singer for the time being.
However, during the filming period, she talked about Tomoko Fujita, an actor who played Kobayashi, that the producer of this band was the producer of the band Heaven.
Tomoko Fujita is a loyal rock music fan and a loyal audience of the band Heaven. She not only knows the rock band well, but also knows all kinds of gossip.
Not only that, Tomoko Fujita also praised the band to her and Miho Nakayama, saying that after she went back, she listened to the song, which was a very good song, and the lead singer's voice was crisp and neat and very refreshing.
"I deserve to be the band selected by the producers of the production band Heaven."
Momoko Kikuchi still remembers the praises of Tomoko Fujita. As a loyal audience of the band Heavenly Kingdom, she admires the "Iwahashi Jun" who is cuddled by censors from time to time on the show.
Of course, if they are idols like them, they should be called "Iwaki Sang".
There was also a member of the male douhu group Maeda Kyoyo, who was also a band. However, their band seemed to have been popular after their debut, sales and popularity were also declining.
Could it be that the audience is just disgusted by the fact that their idols are involved in the band? Kikuchi Momoko thought.
However, the single I received was casually glanced at the lead singer printed on the cover, so beautiful that it would be fine even if he was an actor.
After Tomoko Fujita praised the band, Momoko Kikuchi was a little curious about the lead singer's "Clean and clean, refreshing" singing.
But she didn't look for the single, but thought to herself that she would watch TV series at that time - she would record it even if she was not at home when it was broadcast.
Although Tomoko Fujita praised so much... it will be too late to listen to it in the TV series.
On the TV, the plot continues to go on.
Takagi Hitomi explained his grudges with the two young men next door to his roommates, and the two young men next door were imaginative about being neighbors with cute girls.
Takagi Hitomi hates two young men who are rash, but falls in love with the playboy producer of the radio station T-wave where Matsuko Matsuko works.
When the radio producer drove to the downstairs of the apartment in the middle of the night in order to send a tape to Matsuko Matsuko, Takagi, who had a good impression of the producer, volunteered to go downstairs to get it for his friend.
After delivering the tape and leaving, Takagi Hitomi took the initiative to ask to shake hands with him.
The producer who realized that she wanted took the initiative to kiss her, and this scene was seen by the roommate upstairs and two young men.
At the end of the first episode, the prelude to the ending song sounded.
Chapter completed!
