But after Akutagawa Ryunosuke's death, the status of the two works was completely opposite.

Almost everyone knows "Rashomon", but few people have heard of "Nose".

In short, it often takes a lot of luck to become famous in traditional literature or pure literature.

Thinking of this, Akihara Hiroto's confidence in this work has also dropped a lot.

But after all, it didn't take much effort, so he wasn't too disappointed.

After handing over the work to Satake Maki, he said again: "Please help me deliver this manuscript to Jingfanshe's "Yinuo" journal."

According to the relationship, he should actually give this work to the Kejiaoguan, but the sales volume of the journal in the Kejiaoguan is too low.

So after thinking about it, he decided to hand it over to Jing Fan Society for their journal to publish this work.

Satake Maki took the manuscript and said that he knew it.

And after she left, Hiroto Akihara received another call from Takuto Utsumi, "Teacher Akihara, do you have time to attend the audition?"

After hearing this request, Akihara Hiroto was a little surprised.

In his vision, after Neihaituoren signed the contract with himself, he still needs to deal with a lot of corresponding preparations before starting to choose roles.

But I don't know if he was too efficient, or he thought wrongly about the production process of the movie, and he got to this step so quickly.

To be honest, he was really interested.

After all, he voluntarily declined the casting audition for "Ren Saburo Guhata" to avoid suspicion.

But now this "Memories of Murder", as the story creator + main investor, naturally it is impossible to let it go.

……

On July 7, the day of the audition, Hiroto Akihara took a special car to the place rented by Takuto Utsumi.

After getting off the car, he began to look at the office space temporarily rented by Nekaituoren - a dilapidated logistics warehouse in Akiba County.

Although dilapidated, the equipment inside is already readily available, and it still looks decent.

After discovering Hiroto Akihara's arrival, a staff member in a blue uniform quickly called Takuto Utsumi.

After seeing Hiroto Akihara, Takuto Utsumi immediately said with a smile on his face, "Please come with me."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and followed him into a room on the upper right of the warehouse, and found that it was already full of people.

They are all male actors, ranging in age from their 20s to their 40s, and their bodies are also inconsistent, tall, short, fat, and thin.

These candidates were sitting quietly on plastic chairs, reading the audition script issued in advance, and after seeing Takuto Utsumi walking in with Hiroto Akihara, many people also noticed.

Some of the actors who had seen the photo of Hiroto Akihara in the newspaper immediately stood up and bowed, and said sincerely, "Mr. Akihara, hello!"

After these people shouted, the others also saw that something was wrong, and they all stood up and bowed to say hello.

Hiroto Akihara turned around to look, and found that everyone was bowing and stopped for a while.

He thought for a while, said "Thanks for your hard work" and left.

These candidate actors did not speak, but continued to bow their heads in a respectful posture, and Akihara Hiroto just walked over.

In terms of status, I am a well-known writer, and most of them are just ordinary actors in the third and fourth tiers, not people of the same class.

In addition to this point, I can decide whether to hire the other party with a single sentence.

Therefore, their performance of bowing also has the intention of impressing themselves in advance.

Hiroto Akihara walked to the front row and sat in the middle between Takuto Utsumi and Yoshito Nagayama, and there were two uncles on the left and right.

Through the introduction, Hiroto Akihara learned that the two were executive director and producer respectively, and Takuto Utsumi invited them from two different film companies.

After meeting Hiroto Akihara, a big investor, the two of them were also very "enthusiastic" and handed over their business cards.

After being courteous, Takuto Utsumi asked with a smile: "Mr. Akihara, shall we start?"

"Okay." Akihara Hiroto said.

Then Utsumi asked an assistant standing next to him to call people one by one according to the list of actors.

Hiroto Akihara made up his mind and was ready to carry out his status as a judge.

After all, whether a movie can be successful or not depends on the actor factor.

What I need to do here is to find the actor who best fits the original!

[261.2 The Surprising Actor in Chapter [-]]

The most impressive thing about the movie "Memories of Murder" is the two policemen in it.

And one of them is starring Song Kanghao.

In this movie, the small town policeman he played fully demonstrated the helplessness and fear of the murderer who couldn't ask for it.

Such a ecstatic performance also deeply attracted the audience, allowing them to experience a feeling of coexistence of tension and terror.

Song Kanghao himself also became the best actor at the 40th Korean Film Daejong Awards with this film, and also starred in blockbuster films such as "Han River Monster" and "Parasite".

So in Hiroto Akihara's view, half of the reason for the success of "Memories of Murder" is its closeness to the real plot, and the performance of Song Kanghao and other actors also accounts for the other half.

But in the auditions of these actors, he did not find a single person who could reach the same level as Song Kanghao, even the closest one, there is still a considerable gap

Fortunately, he didn't need to veto this matter himself.

Takuto Utsumi, the producer and director, also kept shaking his head, and it could be seen that he was also very dissatisfied.

After trying for a long time, Takuto Utsumi called a timeout, then turned to Akihara Hiroto and said, "Teacher Akihara, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Utsumi originally thought that with so many actors coming, there would always be a suitable one.

But I didn't expect that most of the people who tried it couldn't perform the feeling he wanted.

Hiroto Akihara shook his head, saying that he didn't have any suitable candidates.

After all, my own circle is still a bit far from the entertainment industry, and I am not in the mood to meet any artists and actors.

Just when the two were considering whether to have another audition, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a 40-year-old man with a fat face suddenly broke in and said out of breath, "Sorry, I'm late."

Neihai Tuoren was already in a bad mood because he couldn't find anyone, so he scolded: "We don't need actors who can't even keep time."

But when he heard the reprimand, the middle-aged man immediately knelt down and pleaded with "Tu Xia Zuo", "I hope you can give me a chance! I was late for a compelling reason!"

Seeing his actions, the five people sitting in the judging seats were all surprised.
