Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 24

After the premiere, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to ordinary life again.But this time, there was a little discomfort in the plainness, because Masami Nagasawa.

Since Nagasawa Masami took the title of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's acting teacher at the premiere, Sakamoto Kiyoshi suffered a lot in the following days.

Because I still have to go to class, I go to learn acting with Nagasawa Masami, only on weekends.However, every weekend almost caused Kiyoshi Sakamoto to have a nervous breakdown.

Nagasawa Masami, as a person who has acted in several movies, is actually still figuring out her acting skills. She has not yet reached the level of teaching others, but after knowing that Sakamoto Kiyoshi wants to act, Nagasawa Masami pondered. I also learn from the company's seniors in the company, or just like this: write down what I have learned from the company's seniors, and then use it to teach Sakamoto Kiyoshi. The two discussed together and made progress together.

Thinking of Nagasawa Masami here, I thought it was definitely a good idea, so I implemented it like this.

It just happened to be staggered with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's class time.

From Monday to Friday, Kiyoshi Sakamoto attends classes, while Masami Nagasawa learns from an acting teacher at the company.

On weekends, Nagasawa Masami will come to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's house to teach him about acting.

It was nothing at all, it was a picture of studying hard and making progress every day, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto was wrong.

I don't know which acting teacher Nagasawa Masami learned from, although it's all about emotions, body movements, line practice, and various training, it seems like a formal acting learning content.

But it can't stand the huge amount of it. All of a sudden, Nagasawa Masami wanted to teach Sakamoto Kiyoshi what she learned in the company in a week, how could that be possible.

No way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto could only try his best to remember, but fortunately, his terrifying photographic memory helped him to memorize it by rote, and Nagasawa remembered a lot of notes.But learning acting skills is not that easy.

In performing arts, there are three famous schools: experience school, expression school and method school.

It is impossible to say which faction performs better, nor can it say which kind of performance is more popular, because actors from all factions are using it.

However, in today's various performance techniques or genres, there are more or less experiential elements, because experience, as a kind of resonance aesthetics, is the closest to the overall expression of modern art.So it has become a model for actors to use performances. Today's actors and performance creation teams are impossible without a little experience.

However, it doesn't mean that all actors will only use one school of acting. Actors will try every school.Only after you have tried it will you know which style of acting is most suitable for you.

Only the performance that suits you best can improve your acting skills.

And after in-depth study of the learning content that Nagasawa Masami brought to him, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also realized that Nagasawa Masami also belongs to the experience school.

In fact, it's normal. After all, she is a teenage girl. How can she know so much about performing arts? When asked to act, those who don't know how to act basically use the experiential style when they get started.

For example, to act as a patient, one needs to imitate the patient's every move and put oneself into it, so that one can know what the patient is thinking and doing when he is sick.

Everything starts from the self.

After the experience, you will know what kind of things you should perform in the play.

Closer to home, Kiyoshi Sakamoto memorized all the performance training and skills brought by Nagasawa Masami two weeks later and used them.

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto who has learned so fast, Masami Nagasawa is even more happy, because only when Kiyoshi Sakamoto reaches a level similar to Masami Nagasawa, the two can start playing against each other and improve each other.

As a result, Nagasawa Masami came to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's house more and more.

And the two also gradually became familiar with each other under such a learning relationship.

It’s funny to say, one Sunday, Yui Aragaki, who lived opposite Kiyoshi Sakamoto, found a beautiful girl standing in front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s house, as if waiting for someone, Yui Aragaki looked familiar, so she went up to ask .

As a result, Yui Aragaki was taken aback. It was Masami Nagasawa who stood at the door of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's house.

The two knew each other, after all, they were in the circle, but they were just acquaintances.

The two discovered that both of them knew Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a mutual friend.So that day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who just went back to Sony for a stroll, didn't know that because of himself, Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, two of the four pillars, became friends.

As a result, after returning home, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at the two beauties with a dazed expression after a while, walked into his room, and chatted on his own!Let's chat! !
Looking at this scene, Sakamoto Kiyoshi shouted in his heart, "What is the situation? I am the master of this place. Is it really okay for you to ignore me like this?!"

In this way, Aragaki Yui also joined this trio called "Acting Club", and the "Acting Club", which is famous in the RB entertainment circle, was born in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's apartment.

In the following days, Kiyoshi Sakamoto either went to school with Yui Aragaki, or carried out various "acting club" activities with Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has activities every day, seven days a week, has a fulfilling and happy life.

Nonsense, I can see Gakki every day, and I can practice acting with the two goddesses on weekends, of course I am happy!Are you so happy!

However, according to the news from Uncle Ishida from Sony, Sony is not satisfied with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's current diving status, and spends all day at home without any notice.

I want Kiyoshi Sakamoto to create another single and release another EP to show his face or something, so that Sony can help him operate it.Otherwise, if this continues, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's high popularity since his debut will slowly be lost without showing his face.

Who knows, this order hasn't come down yet, and the release of the movie "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" left Sony speechless.

Since the movie "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" was released, it conveyed a kind of ordinary emotion to the audience through such a simple and undesigned story. !In one fell swoop, it won the RB movie box office champion of the week.

In the next few weeks, the box office continued to hit new highs. As of June 50, "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World", which was released for four weeks, won the box office championship for four consecutive weeks, and the cumulative box office reached [-] billion!

As the theme song of the movie, "Close Your Eyes Lightly", with the movie, more people realized the talented newcomer Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto appeared in front of the RB people again.

The most intuitive data shows everything. Three months after the release of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single "Close Your Eyes Lightly", the sales exploded again. All of a sudden, Sony received all the CD stores in the entire Tokyo area, asking for more Kiyoshi Sakamoto. "Close Your Eyes Lightly".

Since May 23th, within a month, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has dropped to No. [-] on the singles chart, "Close Your Eyes Lightly", and the ranking has soared again. On May [-]rd, it reached the top of the singles chart again. First.

Selling [-] copies in a single week!In the past four weeks, "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" topped the movie list, while "Close Your Eyes Lightly" topped the singles list.

Under the pressure of Hikaru Utada and Mr. Children, he still won the second place in the single sales chart for two weeks!
With the help of the pure love craze, "Close Your Eyes Lightly", it became a big hit again. In four weeks, the sales volume exceeded 30 copies!Cumulative sales reached 110 million, becoming the second single in 2004 to exceed one million since Naotaro Moriyama's "Sakura".

It can be said that if there are no accidents this year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Close Your Eyes Lightly" will definitely be this year's single sales champion.

Because in the past few years when RB Records has gone downhill, there are very few singles with more than one million.

And there is still half a year before the end of this year, maybe in the next six months, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Close Your Eyes Lightly" can break through one million.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also followed this upsurge of pure love, which led to a surge in his popularity. In the online Google search, the number one was "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World", the second was "Close Your Eyes Lightly", and the number one The third is "Sakamoto Kiyoshi".

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity rising again, Sony was both happy and depressed.After all, as an artist of Sony, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's success will certainly drive the development of Sony; but in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's success, Sony's role can be said to be very small.The song was created by Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself. Although the theme song of the movie was proposed by Xing Dingxun and submitted to Sony, Sony didn’t care too much about it. It just let Kiyoshi Sakamoto decide for himself. In other words, Sakamoto cleared the song The suppression of his debut single, as well as the early publicity, besides helping Sakamoto get through the announcements, Sony did not do enough on his way to becoming popular.

So after the movie theme song incident, Sony President Naoki Kitagawa once again proposed on the board of directors to increase support for Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and to provide assistance in various areas within Sony's capabilities.

Because this is a big gold mine that has been discovered.Seeing the economic benefits created by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the directors were already very jealous, so the board of directors unanimously approved this plan called "Sakamoto Project".

"Sakamoto Project" is an artist development support program known only to board members.The target is Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the little son of Sony.

The content of this plan is unknown, but the staff and artists at Sony know one thing, that is, Sony regards Kiyoshi Sakamoto as a treasure.As a result, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's status in Sony suddenly began to soar. He is also a solo male singer, only under the elder brother Ken Hirai.As for Sony's first artist, it was the Rainbow Band who had just returned from repairing.

Now, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a new nickname after "Little Prince Sony", called "Second Brother Sony"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was ridiculed by Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa for his nickname, is miserable again this time. This nickname may have to be laughed at for several months.
