"Everyone, the first episode of "Death Note" begins!"

As the voice of Director Kaneko fell, "Death Note", which had been decided before the New Year, finally ushered in its first scene.

"Let me tell you, we, the God of Death, survive by taking away the remaining life span of living people..."

In the makeshift room in the studio, Arata sat on the bed with a stern face, his hands flying on the keyboard. In Arata's mind, he imagined that there was a monster in front of him.

The God of Death is talking to himself in a frightening tone.

"Stop, wait a moment! Arata!"

"Hey!"

"I think what I just acted was okay, but you have to know that in this case, Yagami Yue's brain should be thinking about every conversation between him and the God of Death as carefully as a computer, because the other party can take it away from you at any time.

Oh life! Here, if you can’t express that kind of tension, you won’t be able to resonate with the audience..."

"Hey, I'm so sorry! I want to take a rest first!"

After hearing Director Kaneko's comments on his performance, Arata immediately took some time to adjust. He picked up his phone and walked silently towards his dressing room. All the staff in the venue were waiting for him.

Keep working.

When Arata returned to the dressing room, he closed the door and quickly dialed Miki's number.

"Moxi moxi!"

"Sister Miki! Thriller dramas are so difficult!"

"What's wrong Arata!"

"The supervisor said that my performance cannot reflect the tension. Please tell me what should I do!"

"Tense! Let me think about it! What is the general plot?"

"I'm in the same room with the God of Death, and the other party can take away my life at any time, so I have to stay nervous at all times and answer every word of the God of Death carefully."

"Is that it? Let me think about it!"

As there was silence on the other side of the phone, Arata couldn't help but carefully look through the window at what was going on outside.

This is the pressure that actors have to bear. If your performance is not good enough, everyone will have to stop and wait for you. Especially when you work for long hours, it is impossible to say that everyone has no complaints.

Just when Arata was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Sister Miki on the other end of the phone finally came up with a way to help Arata find his feelings.

"Well, you must have cheated when you were a child!"

"Eh?"

"Imagine that you are taking an exam that determines your future. You plan to cheat, but the invigilator is always around you. How about you bring your emotions into it!"

"I'll give it a try..."

Arata put down the phone and found the feeling after just one try. Thanks to Miki's long-term teaching, Arata learned emotional control, so he was able to find the feeling of the character so quickly.

A few minutes later, when Arata returned to the studio again, Director Kaneko hurriedly urged:

"Is it okay this time?"

"Hi!"

Arata walked into the room with a firm look, then returned to the bed with a notebook.

"Let me tell you, we, the God of Death, survive by taking away the remaining life span of living people..."

The opponent responsible for acting with Arata took the script and read out Ryuk's lines, but Arata's fingers that were flying on the keyboard suddenly stopped listening. For a moment, the whole room became quiet.

"What's the meaning?"

"The person whose name is written in the note will die earlier than before..."

"Will the God of Death take away that person's remaining life?"

Arata interrupted his partner and counterattacked with a questioning tone. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room began to become depressing, and the tension immediately infected everyone.

"Okay! That's it! Well done Arata, everyone has worked hard!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

…

As Supervisor Kaneko nodded in approval, the staff present finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even Arata felt that the pressure on his shoulders had been reduced a lot.

After the work on the set was over, Arata said hello to the staff who had been working with him, and then hurried back to his apartment in Shinjuku District to rest.

The next day, because he had to go out on location with several other actors from "Death Note", Mr. Ito sent him to the filming location early. When Arata met his rival in the play, Matsuyama, he couldn't bear it.

Zhu complained to Matsuyama:

"Oh, thriller dramas are really nerve-wracking!"

"So you feel the same way, Arata. Although I admire the original author for being able to design a sophisticated plot, this kind of drama is really difficult to perform!"

Wearing wigs, Matsuyama and Arata were discussing the acting skills of a thriller and suspense scene, while outside, the crew who were preparing for the scene were busy. I don’t know if they were bored, sitting in the car.

Erika, who was dressed like an idol, saw Arata and Matsuyama sitting together and walked out of the car.

"Santa, are you waiting for the next scene?"

"Ah, Eri-chan, so kawaii!"

"Don't laugh at my new wife!"

"No, just kidding! However, I really think your current look is very AKB style!"

"Ah, okay, what were you talking about just now?"

"We were discussing that suspense dramas are difficult to perform!"

"Eh?"

Erika said, then she put her legs together and slowly sat next to Arata.

"You two..."

Seeing how familiar Erika and Arata were, Matsuyama couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Ah, we filmed "Wild Boar Makeover" together before!"

"Yes! Yes! Erika plays my girlfriend!"

"We rarely have time to communicate!"

"We just had dinner together once after finishing filming!"

"What on earth are you talking about, seriously!"

Matsuyama saw Erika and Arata looking a little incoherent. Matsuyama stood up awkwardly and left them. Arata and Erika, who stayed where they were, couldn't help but look at each other, and laughed at each other in an awkward atmosphere.

…

This location scene took about a whole morning to shoot, but fortunately, after the work was over, the actors could go back early because they had to prepare for the work in the studio the next day.

"By the way, Arata! Thank you so much for getting guidance from Nakamura-senpai last time! Well, if you don't mind, why don't we go have dinner together!"

"Okay! Just in time, I still have something to discuss with you about the script!"
Chapter completed!
