Chapter 22 Introduction at the Celebration Meeting
In a hotel in Tokyo, a small hall inside has been reserved. Almost all the cast members of the "Sapphire Knight" stage play came. Everyone gathered together to eat delicious food. Because they were starring in the stage play, the actors
We basically only had a little lunch at noon, and by now we were already ravenous.
This celebration banquet was arranged in the form of a buffet, so everyone was very casual. Young people gathered at one table and joked casually. The older actors and some staff were also on the other side, and from time to time someone would bring a glass of wine.
Come, say a few words, and then drink it up amidst everyone's laughter and applause.
Nishino Kazuki also poured a glass of red wine today. As a person who has been in society for a long time, drinking is an indispensable means of social interaction. In Japan, minors are not allowed to drink, so when they become adults, they will try to drink no matter what, and see if they can drink.
It also indicates that you have grown up and become a qualified adult. Even members of very young idol groups will try to drink it as adults.
Nishino Kazuki was about to stand up with a wine glass in hand, but found that someone was already walking towards him. It was his stage play partner------ Erika Ikuta.
I saw that she was holding a plate in both hands, which was full of various kinds of food. Her eyes were focused on the food, and she walked over cautiously, followed by Sakurai Reika, a member of Nogizaka46.
"Hey~" She slowly put down the plate, breathed a sigh of relief, then took a satisfied look and smiled.
"Iku-chan, please slow down and be careful!" Sakurai Reika sat down next to Erika Ikuta, put down the plate, complained in a low voice, then turned to Nishino Kazuki and said, "I'm sorry for being rude, Nishino
mulberry."
Nishino Kazuki gave them a funny look.
"Teacher Kazuki, do you mind if we sit here?" Erika Ikuta asked casually.
"You've already sat down, why should I ask you to move away?" Nishino Kazuki complained.
"Haha, Mr. Kazuki, let me get started." Erika Ikuta smiled carelessly, then picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, "Hmm... it's delicious."
Sakurai Reika nodded apologetically towards Nishino Kazuki, and said words of apology.
"It's very hard, you are the captain."
"Ah, it's nothing." Sakurai Reika hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Iku-chan gets very excited at night. I'm afraid she'll disturb you."
"It doesn't matter, I was already disturbed by her during the day anyway," Nishino Kazuki said half-jokingly.
Erika Ikuta swallowed a piece of sushi and when she heard their conversation, she frowned and snorted: "I was so noisy during the day."
"Then you mean to admit that it's noisier at night?" Nishino Kazuki replied.
All three of them laughed.
Erika Ikuta saw the glass of red wine placed on the table by Nishino Kazuki again, and suddenly remembered something, suddenly stood up from the chair and ran to the drink.
After a while, he came over with a glass of red wine.
"Teacher Heshu, let me have a drink with you." She had a smile on her face that looked like a child's success. She had a full glass of red wine. She would probably get drunk after drinking it, right?
Nishino Kazuki took the cup from her hand and put it on the table: "Children are not allowed to drink."
"I'm not a child. I've already celebrated this year's coming-of-age ceremony!" Erika Ikuta couldn't be more willing. Finally, her manager was not here today, so she wanted to try the taste of red wine. When she became an adult, she only tasted a little sake and felt bad about it.
I gave up immediately after drinking.
"Teacher Heshu, give it back to me quickly." She leaned forward and wanted to take the cup over.
"Iku-chan, I still have work tomorrow." Sakurai Reika advised, like a sister taking care of her younger sister, she was always watching her.
"It's okay, I'll just drink a little."
Nishino Kazuki didn't really refuse to let her drink. He then pushed the cup back to her and just asked her to drink less.
Erika Ikuta picked up the wine glass and raised it to Nishino Kazuki: "Teacher Kazuki, come here, let's drink~"
Nishino Kazuki also picked up the cup and clinked it with her.
Then he took a sip, and the unique aroma of red wine filled his taste buds. The slightly bitter feeling made him frown slightly, and then he put down the glass again.
Wine is really not very tasty, so why are some people so keen on it?
Erika Ikuta took a big sip, and she choked as she had never drank before. The force made her shake her head, closed her eyes and frowned.
Sakurai Reika immediately stood up and helped her.
"Really, you can still show off if you don't know how to drink."
This picture reminds me of an extremely responsible mother with a naughty and noisy child.
The relationship is so good, Nishino Kazuki couldn't help but think that it's just a relationship between colleagues in the same group. He also knows a lot about those sisters who are good friends but are crazy about each other in private. Of course, they are in the same group.
We have built a very good relationship, and even after graduation we didn’t mention it at all.
To be honest, among the idol groups that sell their personas, commercial CP still accounts for the majority. There must be a lot of things like good sisters making headlines when they go on stage but then go off stage.
After Erika Ikuta recovered, her face turned a little red. This was the end of trying to be brave, but she didn't care. To put it bluntly, she still had the mentality of a child, and she just wanted to try it for fun.
Nishino Kazuki picked up the wine glass and prepared to go to Director Yukio Ueshima. He just said that he wanted to introduce someone to him.
After speaking to Erika Ikuta and Reika Sakurai, he picked up the wine glass and went to Yukio Ueshima's table.
Sitting next to Ueshima Yukio were several people about his age, dressed in meticulous suits, chatting eagerly, changing glasses from time to time, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Seeing Nishino Kazuki approaching, Yukio Ueshima stood up. His face was red with a hint of drunkenness, and he was obviously feeling better after drinking.
Ueshima Yukio patted Nishino Kazuki on the shoulder, motioned for him to come over, then pointed to the middle-aged man on the right and said: "Kazuki-kun, this is Fukuda Ryosuke-san, a famous director."
Nishino Kazuki nodded, bowed slightly and said: "Hello Fukuda-san, I am Nishino Kazuki, please take care of me."
Ryosuke Fukuda is a typical committed director. When filming, he requires actors to be 100% committed, so when casting, he tries his best to select actors who are eye-catching and serious. He also filmed "The Flying Intelligence Room" back then.
One of the winners of the Director Award at the 89th Japanese Drama Academy Awards.
This director is very capable.
"Hello Kazuki-san." Ryosuke Fukuda also stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Nishino Kazuki.
Yukio Ueshima pointed to another man and said, "This is Keita Asari, the leader of the Four Seasons Theater Company." Sometimes Yukio Ueshima can't find anyone to rehearse a play, and it's like he's borrowing someone, and the relationship between the two is also very good.
.
Nishino Kazuki greeted again.
"Nishino-san, are you interested in joining our group? There is a book that lacks a leading actor recently." Asari Keita looked at him and said.
Nishino Kazuki knew that the "Four Seasons Theater Company" was a big theater company, so how could he let someone else play the male lead, and it was impossible for him to change jobs and become a professional stage actor.
"Asari-san, your troupe is full of talents, who will get me?" Nishino Kazuki spoke politely, after all, the other party is also a senior.
"Don't come here to disturb people's hearts. This is just the first performance for Kazuki." Ueshima Yukio joked.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Keita Asari is a funny person without any pretensions, and Director Fukuda is also a very gentle person.
Soon Nishino Kazuki toasted them a few drinks and then talked about business.
