Chapter 11 "Summer of Bureaucrats" enters the group
In the next few days, Nao really didn't look for Arata again, and not only did she not take the initiative to contact Arata, even if Arata called her, she would hang up quickly. In desperation, Arata could only forget about it for the time being.
As a matter of fact, I took the time to visit Sister Miki, whom I had not seen for a long time.
Because she played a role in Ma-chan's new movie, Miki-san had no choice but to go to India. When he came back, her whole body was tanned to a chestnut color. Perhaps she was lamenting that her image had been damaged, which was a rare opportunity for Miki-san.
She rested at home for a while. It was not until recently that she contacted Shinta again.
"How is campus life at Dongda University? Have you met a girl you like?"
"Ah, how should I put it? Campus life used to be very peaceful, but recently I have made me a lot more nervous for no reason, and I have also felt a bit frustrated. As for the girl I like, I have one at the moment, but...
We don’t know each other from school!”
"N...Nani?"
After hearing Arata's words, Miki-san was surprised and spilled the tea leaves outside!
"You... have a girlfriend? How is it? What kind of girl is she? Do I recognize her?"
"Um...you should have seen it before!"
"I've seen it before? Could it be Erika?"
"No, it's my junior in the office, Kitagawa Keiko! She's... the girl who filmed "Zero Second Shot" with me, but... you must keep it a secret from me. I still have a contract
It’s only due in two years!”
The reason why Arata told Sister Miki about this was because he knew that Sister Miki would never reveal this to others. After all, Arata had helped her keep her relationship with her married senior a secret before.
matter.
"Jingzi, I have an impression. She is a very beautiful girl. Her smile is particularly cute. You really have a good taste? By the way, are you two together secretly because of filming?"
"Well, no, we used to be comrades preparing for the college entrance exam together. As time went by, we slowly developed a good impression!"
"That's really rare! However, you two are in the same office. If someone finds out, you will be in trouble!"
"Don't worry about this, I will definitely be careful!"
Miki was naturally surprised to learn such a big secret about Arata accidentally. However, the reason why Arata came back to see her this time was not only because of the long absence, but more importantly, for the sake of "Summer of Bureaucracy"
Photography.
"Hey, are you going to star with so many great seniors? How brave you are!"
"Ah, but without the guidance of Sister Miki, I... I'm afraid I will drag down the seniors!"
"How come? Didn't you say that the character you played is similar to you?"
"Yeah! But when I think of working with seniors who have worked longer than me, I feel an inexplicable pressure in my heart!"
"Don't worry! It's not that difficult. You are not the protagonist of this drama... You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself!"
Although Sister Miki didn't give any specific suggestions, after talking to her, Arata's mood became much calmer.
…
A few days later, due to filming, Arata submitted a temporary leave application to the school, and hurriedly left Tokyo and headed to the studio in Kanagawa.
Because it is a period drama, most of the content of "Summer of Bureaucracy" had to be shot in a studio. Fortunately, the filming season at this time was summer, which just suited the title of "Summer of Bureaucrats".
When Xintai arrived here to report, as soon as he walked into the studio, he was attracted by the streets and houses full of the style of the last century. Everyone was surprised.
"It is indeed a big production with a group of well-known actors. They are really willing to invest in the art!"
…
Speaking of the plot of "Summer of Bureaucracy", this is an economic drama focusing on the trade war between Japan and the United States. Moreover, because it is filmed from the perspective of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which is known as the economic base of Japan,
Therefore, neither the scene nor the height can be compared with ordinary business war dramas.
Shingo Fukoshi, played by the male protagonist Hiroshi Sato, is a representative figure of the "industrial faction" in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and is nicknamed Mr. Tokyo. Ten years after Japan's defeat, in 1955, Japan's economy was severely affected by the Korean War.
A large number of orders came in and entered a stage of rapid development.
At this time in Japan, the per capita annual income was 200,000 yen, the road paving rate was less than 5%, and imported cars were more expensive than houses. It was under this situation that Feng Yueqing, the section chief of the Automobile Section of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry,
Proposed the idea of building a national car.
It can accommodate 4 people, has a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, no major repairs for 100,000 kilometers, and is priced at 250,000 yen.
Faced with such harsh conditions, no domestic manufacturer in Japan dared to take over. In desperation, Feng Yue could only find Dawn Corporation, which had produced fighter jets, to take over the matter.
After the joint efforts of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and the manufacturer, the first test car was finally produced. However, this small-looking car is like a toy in the eyes of Americans and is not even regarded as a car. Before being invited
The Americans who came to visit were left with such humiliating words that Japan only needs to produce toys and cheap shirts. This poured cold water on the uninitiated national car plan.
Soon after, the president of Sugon Motor passed away due to overwork. At the funeral, the media and manufacturers began to question Fengxin's national car plan. They even claimed that the death of the leader of Sugon Motor was caused by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry's efforts to squeeze manufacturers.
, but Feng Yue withstood the pressure and still insisted on his own opinion.
…
The plot of the script is quite inspirational in Arata's opinion. Although as a supporting actor, he doesn't have many opportunities to express himself, but he was able to win a small role in such a touching Japanese inspirational drama.
Arata was already satisfied.
After Arata put on a vintage suit that was unique to that era, he was taken to the dressing room by the on-site staff, and then met the leading actor in the play, Mr. Sato.
"Oh, Arata!"
"Takahashi-san, I would like to ask you to take care of me again this time. Sato-senpai, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!"
Arata greeted the many seniors present humbly one by one, until finally, a thin man appeared, which made Arata startled.
"Oh, this is the leader of the Orange Theater Company, Sakai-san! Sakai-san, this is Arata Furuta. I met him when we were working on "Wild Boar Makeover"!"
"Senior, it's a pleasure to meet you! Please take good care of me in the future!"
