v7 Chapter 14: Mingmei's distress (Happy New Year to al

Just as Kanako and Lin Shuichi were enjoying hot springs, beer and end-fired grilling together in the hotel. Supervisor Mizukawa is leading the crew to carry out the busy filming work.

"stop!"

"Mingmei-chan, your mood is not right, I need you to show the character's heartfelt love for ingredients..."

"I'm sorry, Director Mizukawa, I'm so sorry everyone!"

...

Although Mingmei's apology was very sincere, she didn't see any star air at all. But because of her problems, the rest of the crew was repeatedly delayed. This made Mingmei invisibly burdened with extremely heavy pressure. The more you want to perform better in front of the camera, the worse the results will be. This reciprocation seems to have entered an unbreakable cycle.

Mingmei walked to the resting place with a dejected expression, and the staff handed her a cup of hot tea. Mingmei took a sip after thanking her, and then calmed down her emotions. At this moment, Ming Mei's mood has dropped to the extreme, and she can't even watch the drama at all.

"Attention to all staff, we will reshoot in ten minutes. Please take the time to adjust your work status. Although it is very late, everyone has worked hard, but please work harder!"

"What are you doing, can you suddenly improve the acting skills of that guy by making another film?"

"Hey, be quiet, she's an idol star anyway, don't you know that one of the main selling points of this show is her?"

"If you can't act, what if you're an idol star? We have to work so late every day. Who is it because of?"

"Okay, instead of complaining, it's better to persevere. Maybe after Superintendent Mizukawa has filmed this one, he will be forced to give up like the previous few times, and let the screenwriter Miss Kimura modify the script directly..."

"hope so!"

...

At this moment, it is already two in the morning, and it has been a long time since the original shooting end time. It can be said that everyone's mood has become a little impatient because of long hours of work. Even many people no longer care about Mingmei's star status and openly question her ability. How could Mingmei not feel anxious?

As the time drew nearer, Mingmei couldn't bring up her desire to perform at all. When the supervisor of Mizukawa came to remind her that she should go, Mingmei instinctively wanted to escape from here. Under such circumstances, how can Mingmei contribute an outstanding performance?

...

"stop!"

As Mingmei suddenly forgot her words during the performance, Director Mizukawa made the entire crew stop again.

"Ugh!"

A series of sighs sounded one after another on the set. Supervisor Mizukawa looked at Mingmei who was at a loss in front of the camera without saying a word. Although she was very angry, she couldn't say anything to blame.

If the actor himself did not work hard enough, Director Mizukawa would naturally not be polite to him. But it wasn't because she didn't work hard enough that she couldn't meet the requirements of Superintendent Mizukawa. The growth environment of the character Mizushima Ikumi is quite different from that of Akemi. And Akemi's life experience and acting experience have not allowed her to fully express the image of Mizushima Ikumi.

"Forget it, that's it for today, thank you for your hard work today."

Supervisor Mizukawa stood up from behind the monitor, bowed deeply to all the staff present, and then left the shooting scene after handing over the matter here to his deputy.

"I'm so sorry!"

Akimi bowed deeply to Director Mizukawa who was walking by, feeling extremely ashamed from the bottom of her heart. It's a pity that Director Mizukawa, who has been exhausted by work today, has no mood to comfort this newcomer anymore.

"Supervisor, what about the games tomorrow?"

Just as Superintendent Mizukawa was about to leave the studio, his deputy, Yoshida, who was in charge of the shooting schedule, suddenly caught up and asked Superintendent Mizukawa about the shooting arrangements for tomorrow.

"Didn't you explain it before?"

"Supervisor, there will be shots of Miss Ennoji in tomorrow's scenes. I think we should make a plan in advance. Also, does screenwriter Kimura need to say hello? After all, we are shooting this scene today. It's still not going well!"

"I don't want to think about work right now. I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do. Besides... It's up to you and Kanako to communicate with Kanako about revising the script."

"I see, Supervisor, I'm sorry to bother you so late!"

Yoshida bowed and apologized to Director Mizukawa, and it was not until Director Mizukawa left the set that Yoshida sighed and straightened up again.

...

After returning to her residence from the set, Mingmei could no longer control her emotions. She threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly.

Mingmei is not ignorant of everyone's grievances. In fact he knows better than anyone what the biggest challenge of the show is. That's his naive acting skills. But what can Mingmei do?

Ever since she received a business card from her agent when she was shopping at the age of 14, Mingmei has embarked on a path that is very different from her peers. Since then, normal campus life has completely missed him. She was transferred from a private girls' school with the purpose of entering Todai University to Horikoshi Gakuen, which is famous for nurturing stars in the entertainment industry~lightnovelpub.net~ Since then, her curriculum is no longer limited to ordinary schools. Instead of those courses, there are many more courses such as body, dance, etc. to prepare for entering the art world in the future.

How many days and nights, Mingmei sweated like rain in the practice room, just for the day of her debut to come as soon as possible. How many of these companions could not stand the training and courses arranged by the brokerage company, and were finally forced to withdraw from this star-making competition. Mingmei is the only one who knows how much she has suffered along the way. Fortunately, relying on her innate excellent conditions and a character with a good audience, Mingmei finally stood out from the countless competitors in the same period and became the most dazzling one among them.

But being an idol female star who is known for singing and dancing does not mean that she can survive in this industry for a long time. Because every year, too many boys and girls follow this path and join the entertainment industry. Those with good eloquence will learn mangai, rakugo, and become a comedian as their ultimate goal. And those handsome boys are girls, and they all aim to become youthful and beautiful idol singers. Either way is too difficult.

The career of idols is only a few short years, because there are always younger newcomers emerging. But the entertainment industry is different. The professional life of an artist can be extended with the growth of acting skills. But what Mingmei didn't expect at the beginning was that this road was so difficult.
