Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

"Ok."

The three of them arrived at their positions and began preparing for the filming.

"Ok?"

"Nakamori-san, what's wrong?"

Looking at Nakamori parked in front of one of the variety show studios, the manager asked somewhat nervously.

He had finally found a TV station that would allow Nakamori to promote her song "Girl A," and he was afraid that this old lady might cause trouble.

What kind of filming is being done here?

Nakamori asked casually.

"It should be 'Early Rising Osaka', right?"

The agent thought about it.

"It looks like Chiba-san and Sanada-san are in there too. Is this some kind of promotion for 'Shadow Legion'?"

"Strange, I've never seen that boy following Chiba-san before."

The agent muttered to himself, unaware that Nakamori's gaze had been fixed on the boy's face the entire time.

"I've never seen it before."

Nakamori responded.

"Shadow Legion?"

No wonder they were so agile in hiding before.

He really does seem to be an insider, and an action actor at that. But does he really not recognize himself?

Chapter 58 Beyond the Script

Recalling the details of their previous chance encounter, Nakamori became a little curious.

"Nakamori-san?"

The agent's voice interrupted the girl's thoughts.

"Well, let's go."

Nakamori withdrew his gaze and strode forward.

Anyway, if the boy is still here, we'll run into him sooner or later.

As for those who aren't here, there's no need to talk about anything.

"it is good."

Although the agent didn't know what the old lady was doing, he was still relieved.

I don't know what's wrong with idols these days. I heard that even the pharmacist Maru-san in the industry has a bad temper, but this one is even more outrageous.

The agent still felt a little scared when he thought about how Nakamori almost got into a fight with his boss.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

Sanada looked at Sato, whose gaze had drifted away, and asked.

I saw someone I knew.

"You know someone here, a former lover?"

Sanada spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"No, and in terms of looks, my senior brother is more likely to be good-looking."

Sato's gaze swept toward the group of bunny girls.

Although the show was about to start, quite a few bunny girls were still eager to try.

"No need to be envious, you'll be there soon too."

Sanada replied.

He felt that even without waiting for "Shadow Legion" to air, the show would become popular as soon as the promotion began.

After all, their abilities are indeed high.

In such a short time, his action skills have already rivaled his own, and even the wire work skills that he himself doubted he could adapt to so quickly have been mastered by his opponent.

Moreover, his recent sparring sessions with his opponent have been incredibly frustrating due to their agile movements.

This only covers action scenes, not to mention acting skills and appearance.

In short, he is definitely a future super rookie.

"But don't mess around."

Sanada thought for a moment, then his playful expression turned serious as he gave his instructions.

"I understand."

The two didn't chat for long before the recording began.

Answering questions and watching videos of previous outdoor scenes were all new experiences for the boy.

It was completely different from what I saw on TV; the conversation was so engaging that it was hard to get a word in edgewise.

Or rather, it's quite difficult to be a skilled interjector.

This isn't a normal chat. If the conversation goes cold once or twice, it's fine, but if it happens too often, people will find it annoying.

Moreover, these conversations can't be purely scripted. While the general direction may follow the script, the details still need to be handled by the artists themselves.

Most of the "celebrities" here are not actors, but comedians who appear specifically on variety shows.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they're comedic characters; the head of the group can earn more money than the actors.

Simply put, a top comedian can host a show and maintain a viewership rating of over 20%, which is more profitable than a popular actor starring in a TV series with a viewership rating of 20.

Television programs primarily rely on viewership ratings to earn advertising revenue before and after the program.

Among them, TV series not only have a larger production investment, but also require more actors and staff, including special effects artists, costume designers, prop teams and other miscellaneous roles. With everyone sharing such a small amount of advertising revenue, it's no wonder that they can't make big money.

Variety show hosts are fewer in number, and the expenses for filming and set design are also less, so they naturally receive more money.

In this respect, he can't be envious now; finding a few advertising endorsements would be the best he could hope for.

Sato was thinking to himself while also observing and learning attentively. Although he could never become a comedian, basic conversational skills were still necessary.

You can't just have awkward small talk during promotions, so the more you talk and the more clearly you can explain the highlights of a TV series or movie, the better.

"Speaking of which, it's rare for Chiba-san to come here. It's all for publicity. I'm so sad."

While Sato was observing, the program's host, in a humorous Kansai accent, shifted the topic to Chiba, and also brought up their main mission.

"Say that to us, Saito-san, is too distant."

Chiba smiled and continued the conversation.

Facts have proved that ginger is still spicy.

Although they weren't good at creating topics, they chatted enthusiastically under the host's guidance, and there were no awkward or silent moments.

After the two exchanged a few more words, the host's gaze immediately turned towards Sato.

"This must be the new character in this drama. How's it going, Sato-kun? How's filming going?"

The question was exactly the same as the script, and Sato sat up straighter upon hearing it.

"Yes, although we encountered many difficulties, thanks to the guidance of our seniors, things went relatively smoothly."

"Now is not the time to throw out the joke," Sato replied seriously.

Not to mention, even if you asked him to deliver a punchline, he wouldn't know how.

"I see."

The host responded, his gaze sweeping over the boy before saying, "I heard you have a public photoshoot next week. Could you give us a sneak peek at the action sequences and such?"

The host's words were not from the script, and the boy was taken aback when he heard them.

This person wasn't trying to make things difficult for him or giving him a chance, since the two of them had only exchanged one sentence. It's highly likely that he wanted to boost the ratings through his own efforts.

Anyway, advertising is definitely going to be done, but awkward chatting while advertising can easily cause people who aren't the audience for "Shadow Legion" to change the channel. So, of course, we need to do something.

The absence of a script does not mean the host will not create one.

Whether it's making a fool of themselves or actually putting on a great fight, these can all be factors that keep viewers engaged on the show.

The more viewers he has, the more money he earns.

However, even though Sato didn't know much, he knew that, generally speaking, this kind of operation should first notify the production team, and then the production team should discuss it with Chiba before adding it to the script.

Here, it was brought up directly during filming, and no one else seemed to object; in fact, they appeared to take it for granted.

Kansai seems rather abstract.

Just as Sato's idea came to mind, Chiba chimed in.
