Chapter 1 ZiYao
ZiYao - This is the Japanese term for "child actor".
To put it bluntly, when certain actors need to play the specific role of 'child', the average age required is only seven or eight years old.
Coupled with the "childishness" of child actors on screen that is completely different from the "maturity and stability" of adult actors, child actors have audiences of all ages in Japan.
There are endless child actors who are outstanding and are known as geniuses. Even when these child actors were only six or seven years old, they had already accumulated substantial wealth - a perfect start to their lives.
However, the term "Ziyong" itself has a meaning like fireworks.
In Japan, the average lifespan of a child actor (child actor) is only eleven or twelve years old. Depending on their specific development, they can only end their child actor career when they are about fifteen years old. .
All the prosperity and fame will be like a passing cloud at that moment, replaced by a steady stream of new students.
Therefore, Ziyi is also called a short-lived actor.
Nanasaka Maaya is an inconspicuous servant in this vast army of servants——
"Maaya-chan, please wait here for a while, I'll go and communicate with the venue manager and the director."
"Okay, Miss Miyun."
Niche horror movie Outside the filming set of "The Grudge", Maaya Nanasaka, who was selected as the main supporting actress, breathed a small sigh of relief after watching her agent leave.
As a seven-year-old child, it was the first time for her to follow her agent to such a formal set since she passed the audition.
The prop production team is in full swing and checking the props repeatedly.
The camera crew adjusted the equipment and camera positions.
The makeup team methodically applied makeup to the male and female protagonists.
The atmosphere was like hot oil, which reminded her of her mother's treatment of her before departure. Emphatic words.
“You must be generous in your first job and leave a good impression on the staff.”
“If you fail this time, you may not have such a good opportunity next time. ”
"Come on, relax, I believe in Maaya."
"Mom has been frugal and frugal until today just for you. You must come on."
"."
Repeated emphasis and encouragement.
In her words, it seemed that Nanasaka Maaya would bet her entire subsequent life on this one job.
But Nanasaka Maaya doesn’t understand this.
She only knows a little.
That is, the heavy encouragement did not make me feel relaxed.
On the contrary, it made her more nervous, stage frightened, and even uneasy.
What happens if you mess up?
What should you do if you make the director unhappy because of your acting skills?
Could he be caught like in the cartoon and put on an iron pot and spun around in a circle?
She thought uneasily, and she had even imagined in her mind the 'horrible' scene of herself 'asking for forgiveness' while being held up on top of the fire.
But it’s okay.
She could only comfort herself softly in her heart. Her mother had said that she was very cute, so even if she was really put on a barbecue, she would taste as sweet as soft toffee.
After comforting myself.
Nanasaka Maaya looked around again.
Manager Sanyun is still communicating with the vicious-looking adult about something unknown.
It doesn’t look like it will be over in a minute or two.
She could only hold on to her nervousness, looking around cautiously, and stepped forward with her legs covered in white stockings, trying to find a place to sit and wait.
"The little girl over there-"
A voice suddenly reached my ears.
Like a frightened mouse, Nanasaka Maaya trembled, stopped, and looked around confusedly.
It seems that he is trying to determine who the voice is calling.
“Hey——”
A white palm poked out from behind the blue dressing cabinet next to her and waved at her.
This should be calling her.
Nanasaka Maaya swallowed, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Did she do something wrong?
Why did someone suddenly call her?
Nanasaka Maaya didn’t want to lean over.
But when I thought that she was just a little-known servant, unable to refuse the requests of everyone present, I could only walk over with an uneasy feeling.
Behind the dressing cabinet is a small children's canvas armchair.
A little boy about the same age as her was lying on his back on the armchair playing with his mobile phone.
Hearing her coming, the little boy who was reading an e-book didn’t even raise his head:
"I'm thirsty. Come buy me something to drink. The vending machine is on the corner behind you."
His voice was very natural, and his eyes hidden behind the mobile phone only glanced at each other before retracting. Put it on your mobile phone.
Nanasaka Maayagi paused, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.
Isn’t this the first time you are meeting the other party?
Why can the other party ask her to run errands so naturally?
But the other party's commanding tone was too natural.
As a result, she just said "Oh" and subconsciously followed the other party's instructions and walked to the vending machine.
When she stood still, she discovered a very important thing -
She didn't bring any money.
Except for her own small shoulder bag containing her cell phone, she had no belongings on her body.
She could only turn back.
Looking at the boy lying on his back on the recliner.
She could only stretch out her white and tender hands and gently pull the other party's clothes.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"I have no money." She said softly.
"I told you earlier."
The other party put down the phone and took out a small purse from his arms. The banknotes in it were stacked neatly and meticulously.
He took out one of the thousand-yen bills, handed it to Nanasaka Maaya, and spoke seriously.
"Consider this money borrowed from me. Remember to pay it back to me tomorrow."
No?
Why?
Why do I have to treat someone I don’t know to a drink on set?
Nanasaka Maaya’s baby-fat face is full of question marks.
The other party is very good-looking, and even in Nanasaka Maaya's opinion, he is more beautiful than the current popular Japanese idol Muraki Fuku.
The crisp black short hair fell down without losing the beauty, and it was slightly curled at the ends. The bright eyes and the face with a little baby fat, anyone who took a look at it would have to say, "What a child star." seedling'.
But——
I’m not familiar with you, why do I have to run errands for you? Want to buy you a drink?
Nanasaka Maaya stayed where she was.
“Why are you still standing there?”
A somewhat impatient voice.
"."
Nanasaka Maaya, who has a personality like a little hamster, naturally did not dare to talk back, so she could only take the banknotes, run to the vending machine with her calves and run back huffing and puffing.
Go back behind the dressing table and hand over the drink.
"Where's the change?"
He stretched and stood up.
"Here" Nanasaka Maaya subconsciously took out the money.
"Thank you, little girl."
"." It was obviously a sincere word of thanks, but for some reason, Nanasaka Maaya only heard a perfunctory meaning in it.
And aren’t you the same age as me? Why do you call me little girl?
She opened her mouth.
But before she could speak, she saw the peer in front of her pointing at her shoulder.
The implication is obvious.
He was tired and asked her to help him beat his shoulders.
Not
Why?
“Why should I slap your shoulders?”
Nanasaka Maaya is not a fool, and she doesn’t want to be led by the peers in front of her, so she asks a question.
But because of her hamster-like personality, her voice was too weak and stammering, which made her feel like she had done something wrong and did not dare to face the other person.
“Aren’t we friends? What’s wrong with giving a friend a shoulder rub?”
The boy's answer was still so natural.
Huh?
Nanasaka Maaya’s little head was full of confusion and could not understand.
"You even offered to buy me a drink, aren't we still friends?"
The boy took a sip of the drink and looked at her strangely.
It seems like her lines are very weird.
Nanasaka Maaya opened her mouth.
Now she really didn’t know what to say.
On the one hand, he was shocked by the speed at which the other party approached her, which was too quick for a woman. On the other hand, he was shocked by how shameless he was.
When did she ‘take the initiative’ to invite someone to drink?
Can all the servants on the shooting scene be so close to each other without any psychological pressure?
She was stunned, but her good upbringing prevented her from rejecting the request of the 'cheap friend' in front of her.
Stretch out your white and tender palms and rub the other person's shoulders.
“Speaking of which, I saw you just now.”
He took a sip of his drink, glanced sideways at Nanasaka Maaya, and then returned his gaze to the screen of his mobile phone: “ Nervous about being on set for the first time? ”
".Yes."
"It is normal for children of your age to be nervous when they come to such a formal occasion to act for the first time. They are all like this." He said.
“.” Nanasaka Maaya was silent for a moment.
After a while, she couldn't help but say: "Aren't you nervous?"
She couldn't understand the other party's calm attitude.
Although I don't know what role the other party plays in this small-budget horror movie called "The Resentment", since the other party appears on the set, he must be one of the characters in this movie.
“You’re not nervous.” His tone was calm, but he looked at Nanasaka Maaya strangely.
“Why, why?” Nanasaka Maaya opened her mouth, a little confused.
As a co-actor in the same drama, she was so nervous that she was speechless, but the other party didn't seem to be affected by the atmosphere at all.
She was curious about how the other party did it.
"Can nervousness solve the problem?"
He asked, putting down his mobile phone for the first time.
“No, we can’t.” Nanasaka Maaya replied.
"That's it."
Under the gaze of Nanasaka Maaya, he showed a calm expression that was completely different from that of a child of the same age.
"Instead of worrying about whether you are nervous or not, it is better to take a deep breath before it starts, adjust your mentality, and think about how you can give your best performance."
The other party's voice was calm and calm, without any sloppiness.
What he said makes sense.
Perhaps influenced by his confident tone, Nanasaka Maaya took a deep breath subconsciously and really felt a lot more relaxed.
The lovely fair face that was originally tense became much more relaxed at this moment.
Realizing this, Nanasaka Maaya looked at the little boy in front of her with her big crystal clear eyes, full of curiosity in her heart.
As a member of the army of prostitutes, it is not unheard of for me to see precocious prostitutes of the same age, Nanasaka Maaya.
But the other person was completely different from those precocious children who gave her an unnatural sense of maturity.
No pretentious tone, no rush attitude.
Paired with that pretty childish face.
Two completely unrelated temperaments, calmness and childishness, naturally blend into one.
Nanasaka Maaya wants to say something else.
But before she could say anything, she heard the voice of Manager Sanyun on the other side calling her.
No time.
She could only step forward with her short white legs, run up to him from behind, and ask curiously in a low voice.
"W-what's your name?"
"I'm Kitami Minori, little girl. We are already friends. Please remember my name well."
It's called Kitumi Minoru's boy smiled at her and touched her head with his hand.
This little girl with a personality like a hamster's face turned red because of Kitumi Minoru's too intimate action.
Her face turned red and she shrank her head back.
"My, my name is Nanasaka Maaya, Kitacumi, can I call you Minoru-chan?
Her white fingers tangled together awkwardly and asked in a low voice.
"Okay. ah. "
Beicheng Minoru held up her face, yawned, and replied lazily.
"Really? Nami-chan, my manager sister is calling me, please take care of me from now on! "She stammered, then seemed a little embarrassed and giggled.
"Go ahead and don't forget to pay me back for the drinks tomorrow."
Kitasumi waved her hand.
"Yes! I will bring it over tomorrow! Minoru."
Children are very forgetful creatures, and they can be fooled by just one or two words.
Nanasaka Maaya obviously forgot that she had never invited Kitumi Minoru to drink at all, but after being comforted, she felt happy and left in a hurry.
Watching Nanasaka Maaya leave.
Kitasumi yawned.
Should it be said, poisonous chicken soup is still very effective for children who are not familiar with the world.
It is similar to some Japanese animations and tokusatsu dramas.
Shouting about hope and friendship will naturally attract children’s attention.
The chicken soup for the soul that he just fooled the little girl was something he learned from reading a book in his previous life.
But those are not important.
The important thing is——
"Life Script Game?"
Looking at the words that jumped out of the field of vision, Kitami blinked his big eyes and touched his chin , falling into thinking.
New author, I would be very grateful if you could collect it and give me a recommendation——
