"What did you say?! Do you want to abandon all this?"

On the big screen, Francis' mother trembled and asked her daughter, "You have unique conditions, beauty and a glorious future. You are a movie star!"

Francis stared at her mother motionlessly, as if she had seen her true face for the first time in her life.

"Mom, you mean to send me back, right?"

Francis, played by Jessica Lange, showed a powerful acting that seemed to be overwhelming. Even though it was the second time, Okada Yukiko still couldn't help but hold her breath and fell in love with the heroine's performance.

Today is Tuesday, and she has watched the movie early in the morning, and there is no one else in the screening room. If it weren't for the decision, she wouldn't have appeared in the cinema at this time.

"Francis" is a film released in the United States in 1982. It tells the tragic life of Hollywood star Francis Farmer. On January 17 this year, it was introduced by the Art Cinema and released on RB. Although the number of museums is not large, the reputation is good and has been released until now.

Three days ago on April 5, Okada Yukiko and her friends and idol Yoko Minota watched this movie together.

That afternoon, Okada Yukiko had a performance at Shibuya Guild Hall. She took advantage of the time before the rehearsal began and took a break from her busy schedule to come out to relax with her friends. After lunch, Yoko Minami no proposed to go to the movie, so they walked into an art theater.

The idols live a busy life every day, and Okada Yukiko is constantly on the go, and this friend's situation is not much better. Yoko Mino, who is in the rising period, has a daily work schedule from morning to night, so she has a rare chance to take a breath.

Because they are busy with work, these girls who are obviously in their teenage years of chasing trends are very slow toward the trend. A gust of wind blows, and when their skin feels it, it will blow over.

"There is a movie I have always wanted to watch." Before entering the cinema, Yoko Minamino and her friends said so.

At the beginning of this year, Yoko Minamino saw the introduction of "Francis" in a magazine introducing foreign movies, and was very interested. However, since this year, she has been working hard and has been delayed until now.

Hollywood star Francis Farmer, who became famous at a young age, was unwilling to be merciless of his boss and was unwilling to compromise with life. After experiencing a failed struggle, he was sent to a mental hospital for eight years, his pituitary gland was removed, and then died of cancer in 1970.

Before this, Okada Yukiko didn't know who Francis Farmer was, and the movie was a bit boring and boring. She usually silently recited "It's not over yet" when watching it, but she watched it very focused.

As a chess piece in the hands of capital, celebrities cannot escape the fate of being merciless no matter how bright and beautiful they look. As a highly-watched idol star, Yukiko Okada may have a deeper understanding of this than ordinary moviegoers.

Recently, I have been asking myself "why" in my heart, and the sad fate of Francis Farmer in the movie.

After the movie ended, Yoko Minamino sighed: "Jessica Lange's acting skills are really outstanding, it's a pity that he didn't win an Oscar."

There is nothing we can do about this. The opponent of "Francis" back then was "Sophie's Choice".

"It's so scary." said Yukiko Okada.

Yoko Minamino held his friend's hand, "What's scary?"

"What happened in the movie really happened, it's so terrible." Okada Yukiko lowered her eyelids, and a heavy sadness surged in her heart.

That day, after watching the movie, the two girls went to a dessert shop that was said to be very popular recently. By the time they hurried back to Shibuya Guild Hall, they were already more than ten minutes late.

"Why did you come back so late?" The agent, who was so anxious that he resigned, blamed her when he saw her.

Okada Yukiko lowered her head and apologized, but before she could breathe well, the agent put his hand on her back and pushed her gently, sending her to the makeup artist and costumer.

The pink puff gently patted her face, and the gorgeous idol-style clothing was hung on the hanger, waiting for its owner. Okada Yukiko was at the mercy of the staff, motionless like a puppet.

Today, at Shibuya Guild Hall, including temporary workers, there are 150 staff members who are busy, and they all rely on the signature "Okada Yukiko" to make a living.

Okada Yukiko kept asking herself "why" in her heart, and no one could answer her.

The well-dressed Yukiko Okada is young and beautiful. As an idol, her signature is an optimistic and cheerful smile with a little childish smile. But now, she can't laugh at all, and it looks like a plastic flower lacking vitality.

"You can't treat the audience with such a face, do you know?" The agent cheered her up.

Okada Yukiko raised the corner of her mouth, "I know, Mizuguchi San."

The one who followed her that day was her most trusted agent Noburo Mizuguchi.

"Some moments in your life have left unpleasant trauma in your memory, and then what inspired you to cheer you up, keep going, and be with us tonight, Francis?"

On the big screen, Francis was removed from the pituitary gland, removed the "root of the disease", and finally left the mental hospital. While attending a TV interview program, the host with a full face asked this question.

At 7 o'clock last night, Yukiko Okada went to attend the premiere of "Loki 4".

At the premiere, her performance was impeccable, but no one knew that except for her and her agent Asakus Hayakawa, Okada Yukiko was a big shot before going to the venue.

"I don't want to go to the premiere in the evening." When I went out early in the morning, Yukiko Okada said to Asako Hayakawa.

"How can that be done?" Hayakawa Ako told her with a serious expression, "As a 'star', it is very dangerous to have such unemployed thoughts."

"...I know." The awkward expression on Okada Yukiko's face just now disappeared.

Asakusa Hayakawa showed a satisfied expression.

After the premiere, Okada Yukiko followed her agent back to Aoyama's apartment.

When she was exhausted physically and mentally, she thought of Tsuke Toru, who was admired and cared for her, and Okada Yukiko called Tsuke Toruru.

It was not until he was about to fall asleep that Tsuki Toruta called back. He could not open his eyes any longer, but Okada Yukiko still cheered up, "Mongan Sang!"

However, on the other end of the phone, Toru Yoshiki's reaction was extremely cold and perfunctory. After chatting for a few words, Okada Yukiko couldn't bear the cold atmosphere during the call, held back her tears and asked, "Mingan, what should I do?"

Tsuki Toruto impatiently smacked his lips, "It's really the most troublesome thing in life if you are involved. Can you please stop calling me again in the future?"

The phone hung up.

Okada Yukiko put down the receiver and wanted to endure the tears, but the tears were out of control and poured out.

On the morning of the 8th, Okada Yukiko started working from 9 o'clock.

At 8:30, Hayakawa Asako rang Okada Yukiko's doorbell. Without waiting for anyone to answer, she opened the door with the key and walked in.

"Arikiko, how are you preparing?" Asakuk Hayakawa asked with his voice as he walked in.

However, no answer was received.

Hayakawa Asako knocked on the bedroom door, "Don't get up yet? I've gone in, Akiko." But he pushed open the door and there was no one inside.

Asakusa Hayakawa stood outside the bathroom and listened again. There was no movement. After entering, it was still very wet inside and used it not long ago.

Asako Hayakawa was a little panicked and searched all this small apartment, but there was no sign of Okada Yukiko where she went?!

"Francis, now, I wish you all the best in your new career with those friends who are with you. After this show, we will hold a cocktail party for you and your friends at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood..."

The party ended, and Francis walked alone on the street in the middle of the night. Suddenly, his former lover appeared in front of her.

"I want you to send me back..."

Francis looked at him, "I really want you to send me back, but"

But she has been destroyed.

Okada Yukiko watched the movie intently. She no longer cared about the job she had escaped, nor did she care about everything. Because she had decided to do something big today.

"If you don't mind, I'll accompany you for a short walk, okay?"

Francis smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The movie is over. Okada Yukiko looked at the end of the movie and didn't feel the terrible feeling when she watched the movie for the first time, but the feeling of sadness continued to increase.

She already knew that the only lover in the movie who brought some warmth to Francis actually did not exist, but was fictionalized in the movie. Francis's fate was even more miserable than in the movie, and there was not even this kind of warmth.

She finally became a rebel.

Will her resist so much, and will she have such a tragic fate waiting for her?
