In Conan, people have a brain option system

"Mr. Akikawa, your acting skills just now were great, right?"

"Maybe you have been in a theater troupe before, but why haven't I heard your name?"

"Wow, I just noticed that Mr. Akikawa is so handsome. When performing, he looks like two different people than usual!"

Akikawa Kyousuke, who had finished the fifth act, was surrounded by many artists as soon as he walked off the stage.

Many people were amazed by Akikawa Kyusuke's performance just now.

So I became very curious about him.

aside.

The assistant director looked at Akikawa Kyousuke, who was surrounded by many artists with shining eyes, and was being asked endless questions.

He said to director Takemura Mine beside him:

"Mr. Takemura, why do I feel that Akikawa used too much force?"

"Although Mr. Kudo described a very popular high school student Sae Otani in the book, it's not to this extent, right?"

"Obviously he is just an ordinary high school student, but he was forced to act like a star idol by Akikawa. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the character?"

"No, I don't think there is a problem."

Director Takemura Mine laughed.

"The stage play itself cannot be performed completely in the way of a movie."

"After all, the audience from a distance must be able to feel the charm of the character, so a more exaggerated performance will deepen the audience's impression of the character."

"Besides, the character Sae Kotani will not be on the same stage as Quinn (the heroine) until she dies, so there is no need to worry about the supporting characters using too much force to steal the spotlight from the heroine."

"Before Kotani Sae died, he was the protagonist of the fifth act, so I think Akikawa did a good job."

“Because Akikawa’s performance was so good, Otani Sae’s death was able to have more impact.”

"I seem to understand why Mr. Takemura chose him instead of Nishihara." The assistant director nodded.

"Nishihara's acting skills are good, but they are limited to film and television works. As a stage actor, his expressiveness is much worse than Akikawa's."

Takemura Peak review.

Off stage.

The impatient Misaki Itakura finally waited until Akikawa Kyousuke finished his greetings with other artists.

After Akikawa Kyusuke came back, he put his hands on both sides of Akikawa Kyusuke's shoulders with a bang.

He lowered his voice and his tone was full of excitement:

"Mr. Qiuqiuqiuqiuchuan!! What happened just now?!"

"Mr. Akikawa just seemed like a different person!! What the hell is this!"

"Mr. Akikawa, is his acting really that good?!"

"You can actually hone your acting skills by watching imitating discs at home?!"

"If Mr. Akikawa keeps maintaining the kind of persona he just had, he will definitely become popular!!"

Itakura Misaki discovered that even though she had been with Akikawa Kyusuke for half a month.

But I still basically know nothing about Akikawa Kyusuke.

"Is it possible that Mr. Akikawa is really a genius?! A genius like Miss Yukiko!"

It took the excited agent lady more than ten minutes to gradually calm down.

After she once again realized Akikawa Kongsuke's unique talents, she felt a little more confident that Akikawa Kongsuke could become a hit in the future.

"I'm so lucky to be able to assign Mr. Akikawa to me as the responsible person!"

"It seems that it is not impossible to work with Miss Yoko often in the future!"

Thinking of Okino Yoko, Itakura Misaki quickly turned her head and looked over.

Then I saw Okino Yoko leaving the auditorium expressionlessly.

Not long after Okino Yoko left.

Misaki Itakura saw Koichi Nishihara, an artist from the same company, and chased after him.

——

"How could he have that kind of acting skills?!"

"He is obviously a person who has not even finished elementary school."

Akikawa Kyusuke's acting skills made Hiroshi Nishihara feel ashamed.

"But Ms. Yoko doesn't seem to be surprised by Akikawa's acting skills."

"Based on what I heard before, Miss Yoko's words about asking Akikawa to leave the company, we can judge that Miss Yoko should also hate Akikawa quite a bit."

Hiroshi Nishihara ran a few steps and caught up with Yoko Okino who was walking quickly in front of him.

"Miss Yoko!"

"Mr. Saihara?"

Okino Yoko stopped when he heard this, turned around, and showed a kind smile to Nishihara Koichi.

"It's my turn to perform soon. I wonder what Mr. Nishihara has to do?"

"Miss Yoko actually knows Akikawa-kun, right?"

When Okino Yoko heard this, the smile on his face did not change much, and he nodded lightly.

"We know each other, so how do you know Mr. Nishihara?"

"Because I just noticed that Ms. Yoko, you seemed very shaken when you saw Akikawa-kun performing."

"Miss Yoko, you probably don't like Akikawa either, right?"

Nishihara Koichi stared at Okino Yoko's face and said with a smile.

He was very sure that Okino Yoko did not like Akikawa Kyusuke's acting skills just like him.

So Koichi Nishihara wants to draw closer to each other by having the same ideas as Okino Yoko.

He originally thought that Okino Yoko would show a frightened or shocked expression when he heard what he said.

After all, in everyone's eyes, Okino Yoko rarely shows negative emotions.

But now she saw it, and she showed a dissatisfied look towards the junior artist who had just signed a contract.

Unexpectedly, Okino Yoko still maintained that kind smile.

No, it's even more moving than it was at the beginning.

"Sure enough, Mr. Nishihara eavesdropped on my conversation with Sister Sha Hui."

Okino Yoko's unexpected reply directly shocked Nishihara Koichi.

That was already half a month ago.

Unexpectedly, Okino Yoko could guess it just because of his two sentences at this time?

"Is this a woman's sixth sense?"

Nishihara Koichi thought in his mind and quickly waved his hand to explain:

"No, no, I just accidentally saw Miss Yoko's expression, so I just guessed it."

"Then you accidentally signed up for the same audition as Akikawa-kun?"

"That's because I originally wanted to be a part of this production."

Koichi Nishihara was very surprised that Yoko Okino even knew about such a thing.

Doesn't that mean that Okino Yoko also knew about her being compared to Akikawa Kyusuke?

"That's it..."

Okino Yoko did not continue to ask, but directly smiled and said to Nishihara Koichi:

"Mr. Nishihara, you should not come into contact with Akikawa-kun again in the future."

"The matter between Akikawa-kun and me has nothing to do with you."

"Sorry, I have to go on stage."

Okino Yoko bowed slightly towards Nishihara Koichi.

Then Koichi Nishihara, who looked embarrassed, turned and walked backstage.

——

at the same time.

Misaki Itakura looked at Koichi Nishihara who came back from the backstage with an ugly look on his face, and remembered what Okino Yoko reminded him during the first rehearsal——

"Ms. Itakura, please let Akikawa-kun have less contact with Mr. Nishihara from now on."

"Nishihara, a child actor who was once very popular in Japan, lost popularity when he grew up, but it was not because his acting skills got worse."

Itakura Misaki was a little curious as to what specific character problems Nishihara Koichi had.

So she took out her mobile phone and searched for keywords such as "Koichi Nishihara", "child star", and "bad conduct".

After spending more than ten minutes, she discovered several reports from more than ten years ago.

"Oh my god... How can such a person still stay in the Japanese entertainment industry?!"

Itakura Misaki's eyes widened and she was very surprised.

The content of the reports found in the search are all very similar.

They were two incidents of violence and wounding committed by Koichi Nishihara when he was in junior high school and high school.
