A strange combination of circumstances

"NHK?" Bai Chuanfeng held the phone and unconsciously raised his voice.

"Hai, if it's convenient for Shirakawa-san, you might as well have an interview."

Bai Chuanfeng was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, "I would like to ask, can I have someone accompanying me?...Okay, thank you very much."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Torataro who was staring at him like a curious baby. Shirakawa Kaede rubbed his chin and suddenly said, "Torataro, do you think I have such a strong star aura? Am I a born artist?"

Torataro blinked, "Xiao Feng, let's discuss changing clothes, such as the Shirakawa Electric Co., Ltd. you just mentioned."

"Sure enough, you don't have any discernment and can't see the charm in me." Bai Chuanfeng glanced at him with disgust, then picked up the phone and prepared to dial another number.

"Hey, wait a minute," Torataro stopped Shirakawa Kaede, "Who called just now?"

"NHK, you know NHK. It's the NHK where you watched the Red and White Song Festival on New Year's Day, and the NHK where Yamaguchi Momoe made the finale this year!"

Shirakawa Kaede, who emphasized one side, actually didn't quite believe it in his heart. NHK, that's the equivalent of CCTV.

Why are you looking for him? He is not an artist. He must have met a liar.

It just so happens that I am preparing to produce a morning drama "Sister Pony" this year, and I originally planned to use as many newcomers as possible. Miss Tanaka's simplicity is very suitable for one of the characters.

…

This is a simple script, and the words "Dahe Drama" directly shocked Yuko Tanaka who was paying attention.

In fact, it's not just here. Shirakawa Kaede found that people in this era are generally much simpler than those in later generations.

"Sikuni Ichiuchi~" Torataro circled around Shirakawa Kaede and couldn't figure out why the TV station came to him.

Based on the mentality that idleness is nothing but idleness, it’s okay to go see something if you have nothing to do. Bai Chuanfeng agreed to the other party’s invitation and took a friend with him to gain some knowledge.

"Oh, by the way. By the way, pay attention to the malfunction of the Blackstone record player and the second-hand store..." Seeing that Torataro became more and more confused as he listened, Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand, "Forget it, I will do this myself when I come back."

It sounds like the other party is really an insider, and fraudsters should not be so rampant these days.

"Haha" Takeyuki Hirayama smiled and waved his hand. He knew what Shirakawa Kaede meant, "Shirakawa-san, even if you don't mention it, I will contact Miss Tanaka."

"Thank you for your attention, Hirayama-san, but due to course and future planning issues, I really can't make time. Please forgive me, Hirayama-san." He really doesn't have time for the time being, and he doesn't plan to take the path of an artist in the future, so Shirakawa Kaede can only politely decline.

.

To say that Takeyuki Hirayama made an appointment with Shirakawa Kaede this time, it took a lot of effort.

After Bai Chuanfeng read the script, he found that he didn't have many roles, but he really couldn't act, and the school curriculum was also a problem.

Who knew that although Kaede Shirakawa appeared on Polydor Records, he was not an artist.

We haven't officially entered the 1980s yet. As the only publicly operated TV station in the country, NHK's authority does not need to be mentioned, and there are not so many troubles.

This kind of big river drama often requires a year-long filming period. Even if it is a supporting role, it will take a long time to prepare for the role alone. The cycle is too long and it is not suitable for him.

When he saw Yuko Tanaka accompanying Shirakawa Kaede, Takezhi Hirayama had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He glanced at the assistant beside him, who shook his head.

"As for Blackstone Record Player, everything remains as usual. Let's check where their company or office is first, and then go visit them together when you're ready." As he said this, Bai Chuanfeng was already thinking about what "surprises" he should bring to him then.

They are.

"Hirayama-san, you must also know that I am still a student. And I am not in the drama department, so..." Shirakawa Kaede spread her hands in embarrassment.

"Shirakawa-kun, who are you meeting today?" Tanaka Yuko glanced at Shirakawa Kaede suspiciously. She always felt that this guy was a bit mysterious.

Under the guidance of a well-trained waiter, Bai Chuanfeng soon met the owner who invited him to meet this trip.

Since it didn't work out, he gave up, but another young girl beside him, Takeyuki Hirayama, looked at her carefully.

Oda, Takeyuki Hirayama's assistant, searched all artist management companies in Tokyo but could not find the corresponding person. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Polydor Records to finally get his contact information.

"Ah, that's right!" Torataro suddenly exclaimed, "Xiao Feng, what about the Blackstone record player?" He thought that since Shirakawa Kaede went to NHK, he might actually become an artist in the future, what they just said

Do those still count?

"We'll find out later." Bai Chuanfeng said and led the way into the coffee shop.

"Eh?" Shirakawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko both looked surprised.

Hearing what Takeyuki Hirayama said, Yuko Tanaka felt like she had been hit by a pie. After all, it was NHK, the partner that many actors longed to collaborate with.

Yes, the person he called was Yuko Tanaka. Given such a good opportunity to contact the TV station production department, of course he had to bring her to see it.

He just thought that Bai Chuanfeng was good, he had a love for talents, and he thought about whether he could help him.

There is a role of a handsome young man in the play. The crew interviewed several actors, but they were never satisfied with the role.

Tanaka Yuko had just finished greeting the other party here. She also received the business card, and her mind even went blank for a moment.

The title of the play is "Kusanagi". Not only Tanaka Yuko but also Shirakawa Kaede were a little surprised when they saw this.

Takezhi Hirayama saw that Shirakawa Kaede really didn't have such a convenient intention and stopped forcing it. After all, it was just a supporting role. If it didn't work, just use the previous alternative.

This was also the reason why he hurriedly made an appointment with Bai Chuanfeng. If it was settled, his work would be freed and he could concentrate on his own affairs.

Although we had a quick farewell at Polydor last time, both Shirakawa-san and Miss Tanaka left a deep impression on people.

"Hirayama-san, you're welcome, just call me Shirakawa." Shirakawa Kaede also bent down and took the business card with both hands.

Seeing the title on the business card clearly, Bai Chuanfeng's heart skipped a beat. Good guy, his background is quite big. He is considered a person with some real power.

Bai Chuanfeng gave him a strange look, "What should I do? Of course I continue. Do you think I really want to be an artist? How much money can I make as an artist? Besides, I am not a drama major. Do you think NHK

Can anyone get in?"

Assistant Oda next to Takeno Hirayama was a young man about the same age as them. Seeing Shirakawa Kaede and the others looking over, he smiled shyly.

Takeyuki Hirayama adjusted his glasses, "Actually, I planned to try to contact Miss Tanaka after meeting Shirakawa-san.

I just met Miss Tanaka, and I thought it was Oda who contacted Miss Tanaka in advance."

Although he had already expected it, Takeyuki Hirayama still felt a little regretful, "Shirakawa-san really don't think about it? As for acting, don't worry about it, NHK has dedicated instructors."

"Shirakawa-san, I invite you for an interview this time. There is a role that is very suitable for you." Hirayama Takeyuki took out a document and handed it to him.

If it had been the 1920s when all the demons were dancing, he would have encountered so many waves of scammers. As for someone from NHK taking the initiative to contact him? Shirakawa Kaede's first reaction must have been to curse "Baga" and then hang up the phone.

Takeyuki Hirayama, who was wearing glasses, stood up first and handed over his business card with both hands, "Shirakawa-san, I'm sorry to bother you."

The next day at a high-end cafe in Setagaya District, Shirakawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko met again.

Although the scenes are for the second half of the year, we can't wait until filming starts. Moreover, Takeyuki Hirayama himself will be responsible for a TV series in the first half of the year, so time is tight.

Takeyuki Hirayama is not actually the director, but he is responsible for part of the casting. Seeing that the other roles have been decided, there is only one supporting role that is difficult to decide.

For the fledgling Yuko Tanaka, the director and producer of a TV station is indeed a big shot.

That time he met Bai Chuanfeng by chance at Polydor Records, and he was deeply impressed by his clear face. Especially his bright eyes, which were very different from the small eyes common in RB men.

The role? He really asked himself to act. Bai Chuanfeng looked embarrassed, but out of politeness he opened the file and read it.

"Oh, Hirayama-san, this is Miss Tanaka. She is a student of the Department of Drama, Faculty of Literature, Meiji University. She graduated this year." Seeing the other party looking at Yuko Tanaka, Shirakawa Kaede introduced her enthusiastically.

The people who live in this neighborhood are obviously wealthy and generally older. The passers-by on the street are all very decent and generous, both in their clothes and in their words and deeds.

There is not just one director for Dahe Drama. There are usually several directors responsible for the plot of more than 50 episodes.

NHK? Producer? When did Shirakawa-kun meet such a "big shot"?

"Director/Producer of NHK TV Drama Production Department"

Until I met Shirakawa Kaede by chance, Takeyuki Hirayama, who was also a member of the crew, immediately wanted him to try it.

Hirayama Takeyuki smiled. "Shirakawa-san doesn't know something. Dahe dramas are produced once a year, and they are also shot every year. The roles Shirakawa-san was invited to play this time are basically concentrated in the back, and filming has not started yet."

He felt that certain roles might be a good fit for him, so he asked his assistant to get his contact information privately and have a chance to chat.

After explaining some precautions to Torataro, Shirakawa Kaede started making phone calls again, preparing to shake people off.

"Hirayama-san, please forgive me. It seems that "Kusanagi" is already on the air." Shirakawa Kaede is still aware of NHK's annual Taiga drama. And he also knows that this drama has been on the TV station at the beginning of the year.

Sent.

She looked at Bai Chuanfeng at a loss, and the latter gave her an encouraging look.

"Hirayama-san, please take care of me!" Tanaka Yuko stood up and bowed solemnly.

Takeyuki Hirayama nodded, "Although I didn't convince Shirakawa-kun today, it is still a joy to meet Miss Tanaka.

Regarding the follow-up script, it will be sent to Ms. Tanaka in the next two days. The shooting plan is expected to be less than two months, so please be careful."

The trip was not in vain. Takezhi Hirayama was in a slightly better mood. After saying goodbye to Shirakawa Kaede and the others, he left.
