Chapter 183 Ginza
"Hamabe-san, where have you gone? I've looked everywhere and you can't find it... If you don't want to be an actor, you can tell me right away, pack your luggage, and go back to your hometown."
After sending Hama Miha back to Toho Entertainment Office, Nakamura Masahiro had just said goodbye to the little girl. Before he had taken a few steps away, an extremely irritable voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The voice was very familiar. Nakamura Masahiro vaguely remembered it was the Kimura-senpai who scolded Minami. He looked back and saw that the tall figure was the Kimura-senpai who had scolded the little girl in the corner of the stairs.
Set against the tall figure of Kimura-senpai, Hamabe Minami looked like a frightened little rabbit, standing there upright, like a student who made a mistake in class and was punished to stand.
Seeing that the other party's stern and rough voice became more and more excessive, the strong smell of gunpowder seemed to be a precursor to an explosion, and the little girl Minami lowered her head and started wiping tears again, this made Nakamura Masahiro unable to stand it.
"Kimura-san...."
Walking quickly towards the other party, Nakamura Masahiro loudly interrupted the words of Kimura-senpai who wanted to continue reprimanding him.
"She is just a child, there is no need to get so angry..."
No matter what Minami Hamabe's fault is, as long as it is not a particularly big problem, there is no need to be too harsh. After all, the little girl is only ten years old, and it is unrealistic to expect her to be as sensible as an adult.
Social animals who have experienced severe beatings from society can endure everything. Having been tortured by life, they know that cruelty is the truth and essence of the world, and beauty and passion can only exist in best-selling animations and film and television dramas.
As for children who are still in the ignorant stage, innocence and romance are what they should enjoy. An overly real world can easily make people uncomfortable, so there is no need to let children know.
"Who are you?"
Turning to look at Nakamura Masahiro, the middle-aged man named Kimura-senpai looked unkind. He looked at Nakamura Masahiro up and down to make sure that there was no impression of Nakamura Masahiro in his memory, and his expression immediately darkened.
"This sir, it's none of your business, please leave."
"Sorry, I am Minami's brother, Masahiro Nakamura."
Taking the initiative to announce his relationship with Hamabe Minami, Nakamura Masahiro looked at the other party with a calm face and said in a nonchalant manner: "If she has a problem, please discuss it with me instead of scolding her."
"Minami's brother?"
Looking back and forth at Masahiro Nakamura with eyes full of scrutiny, the senior Kimura did not easily believe his words, but showed a suspicious look.
When Japanese entertainment agencies sign contracts with new people, they often do a basic understanding in advance. The family situation of the new people is even more important.
As far as he knew, apart from his parents, Hamato Minami's family only had a young brother and no other family members.
Now that a brother suddenly appears, this is very questionable. If the information recorded by the office is not wrong, then this so-called brother may be just a relative, or he may be a fake.
"If I remember correctly, Minami only has one younger brother, and there is no so-called older brother."
"Onii-chan...."
Hamabe Minami pulled her little head, looking unusually petite against the tall figure of Kimura-senpai. She secretly raised her eyes to observe, then belatedly saw Masahiro Nakamura, and called out in a timid tone.

"Huh?"
The little girl's name for Nakamura Masahiro confirmed her identity, but Kimura-senpai still looked at Hamabe Minami with a suspicious expression, and then turned his attention to Nakamura Masahiro again.
The original gloomy look on his face gradually faded away, and Kimura-senpai's calm expression became a little more friendly. He guessed that the handsome young man in front of him was most likely someone who had a very close relationship with Hamabe Minami.
"Nakamura-san...."
Staring straight at Masahiro Nakamura, senior Kimura spoke in a very calm tone, and his unsmiling expression was like that of a stern dean, which put a lot of pressure on people.
"As for Minami, not only is she not serious about her acting skills, she also has a big problem with her study attitude... I will reprimand her in accordance with the regulations of the office. There should be no problem, right?"
"Kimura-san...."
His thoughts were spinning a thousand times, and Nakamura Masahiro responded in an orderly manner while organizing his words: "Minami is still a child after all. Isn't it inappropriate if she is treated according to adult standards? Is it too strict a requirement?
Shouldn't we relax a little more?"
Japanese offices tend to be strict in training new people, so Nakamura Masahiro shouldn't get involved. But looking at Hamabe Minami's submissive look, Nakamura Masahiro can't help it.
Although during the short period of getting along, Hamato Minami behaved as well-behaved as ever, but judging from her demeanor and reaction, Nakamura Masahiro knew that the little girl had become slightly inferior and cowardly.
A happy growing environment helps to cultivate children's self-confidence and bravery, but a harsh and scolding atmosphere can easily cause psychological shadow in children and make them weak and sensitive.
Of course, the firm won't care about this. They would like every new employee to be trained as a subordinate like a social beast, obeying their orders like a puppet. Anyway, there are so many replaceable ones, so they can just block them out.
"Nakamura-san, you don't understand..."
Looking at Nakamura Masahiro's young appearance, Kimura-senpai thought that he was a young man who lacked social experience and was full of innocence and simplicity. It was normal for him not to know the situation in the entertainment industry.
So, suppressing some impatience and gaining some extra patience, he introduced the reality of the entertainment industry to Nakamura Masahiro word by word.
"If you can't endure even this little hardship, then there's no point in staying in the entertainment industry. Not to mention those servants, you've probably heard about the situation at Johnny's Agency, right?"
The name Johnny & Associates is a household name in Japan. Maybe some people don’t know the name of the ruling Prime Minister? But there will definitely be no one who has never heard of the name Johnny & Associates.
Countless teenagers sign up for the Johnny & Associates selection event every year, either proactively or passively. After being successfully selected, it is not as wonderful as imagined. Instead, they have to undergo cruel selection and elimination.
In those strict training programs, singing and dancing are the most basic skills. Teenagers also have to work hard to learn things like somersaults and acrobatics.
In addition, Johnny & Associates will also cultivate the organizational and planning abilities of the teenagers, and often leave some small performances to the teenagers to arrange freely.
Well, regarding this operation of Johnny & Associates, I don’t know if they are letting the teenagers go, or if they are simply trying to save money.
Compared with the teenagers at Johnny's Agency, Hamabe Minami is actually very relaxed. Because Toho Entertainment Agency trains actors, there is no need to be as versatile as those teenagers.
"Hi, I know...."
"If you want to continue in the entertainment industry and can't even endure a little hardship, then there is no need to persist and give up as soon as possible..."
As he continued talking, Kimura-senpai glanced at the quiet Hamabe Minami intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged and helpless.
He is very optimistic about Minami, a young girl with outstanding appearance. With the ability and resources of Toho Entertainment Agency, Hamaba Minami may not be able to stand out in the highly competitive entertainment industry.
But the premise of all this requires the little girl's own efforts. If she is not willing to work hard, why should Dongbao Arts Office praise her? It's not that there is no choice. Taking the Shiraishi sisters is more in line with the public's aesthetics.

"Nakamura-san?"
A sudden voice ended Kimura-senpai's eloquence, as if pressing the pause button, preventing him from continuing.
"Minister Shibata?"
"Shibata-san?"
Seeing the coming figure almost at the same time, Kimura-senpai and Nakamura Masahiro greeted each other one after another. It was with this name that Nakamura Masahiro learned that Shibata was the head of the distribution department.
Compared with Nakamura Masahiro's calmness and calmness, Kimura-senpai is much humbler. Just like an ordinary social worker seeing his boss, he quickly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Shibata paid little attention to Kimura-senpai and just nodded politely. Although Toho Pictures and Toho Entertainment both belong to Toho Corporation, Shibata is the head of the distribution department, and there is no need to know Kimura-senpai, a low-level colleague.

"Nakamura-san, why are you still here?"
Compared with the indifference when dealing with Kimura-senpai, Shibata looked at Nakamura Masahiro with a smile on his face, and his tone was full of enthusiasm and intimacy.
"Something... uh, send this sister Minami back."
Facing Shibata's slightly curious gaze, Nakamura Masahiro had a slight smile on his face. He looked at the little girl Minami who was looking curiously at the side, and replied gently: "I just took her to eat barbecue, let me
I wouldn’t be worried if she comes back alone.”
"So that's what happened..."
He nodded with some relief and looked at the cute and well-behaved Minami Hamabe. Shibata knew that this little girl should be a child trained by Toho Arts.
However, he was not interested in knowing more, so he quickly turned his attention back to Nakamura Masahiro. Looking at Nakamura Masahiro with a smile on his face, Shibata extended an invitation enthusiastically.
"Nakamura-san, do you want to go to Ginza together? At this time, Ginza is the busiest..."
Masahiro Nakamura? What is the origin of this young man? Can Minister Shibata invite him to Ginza?
The lowered eyes moved upward involuntarily, and Kimura-senpai secretly observed Nakamura Masahiro's every move.
