"Nakamura Toru, eyes! I need depth!"

"What about the communication between you and your partner?"

"You two need to show your teamwork!"

The airtight photography studio, with its direct sunlight and equipment heat dissipation, was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.

In this kind of environment, people are more likely to become anxious.

Especially when standing in front of the spotlight, it feels like being roasted on a hot stove.

The person posing for a photo with Nakamura Toru at this moment is none other than the museum director who previously rehearsed lines with Sakamoto Yu.

He also suffered greatly.

On the surface, she maintained a calm expression, but her eyes revealed obvious impatience, and her cooperation was somewhat perfunctory.

Nakamura Toru was covered in sweat, and after being stopped again, the makeup artist immediately stepped forward to touch up his makeup and wipe away the sweat.

On one side are veteran actors enduring the sweltering heat to accompany them on set, and on the other side are demanding directors. It's torture on both sides, no different from being roasted over a fire.

The more anxious he was, the less "depth" Kiyoshi Nishimura could give him.

Unfortunately, Guan Bo was the absolute lead actor, and his time was precious, so the entire crew was also working hard to keep up.

Over time, discontent quietly spread within the film crew.

Sakamoto Yu stood in the corner waiting.

Beside him, Atsuko Asano was also feeling unbearably hot, fanning herself with her hand.

A barely perceptible hint of worry also crossed her face.

The shed was unbearably hot and stuffy, and the atmosphere was oppressive and tense.

She just couldn't seem to get into the swing of things.

It was just a little short in the end.

Sakamoto Yu could see Asano Atsuko's anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.

Just then.

A familiar ringtone sounded:

"bite--"

[At forty, you received guidance from Atsuko Asano during a poster shoot. At that time, she had already won numerous awards and was a true national treasure-level actress.]

[Mission: Approach Atsuko Asano and subtly help her out of a predicament once.]

[Reward: Mastery of Character Development]

[You will find it easier to get into character. When you are still, your sitting, standing, and walking postures will naturally fit the character. Even if you are standing in a corner and have no lines, you will not be ignored by the audience.]

Sakamoto Yu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Such a good thing!

He looked up and glanced at the filming; it wouldn't be over anytime soon.

She glanced again at Asano, who was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

He bent down, pulled out an unopened bottle of drinking water from an open cardboard box on the ground, and handed it to Atsuko Asano.

"Have some water."

"Thanks."

Atsuko Asano stared at the filming, clearly distracted, and gave a polite smile and a thank you.

Sakamoto Yu calmly withdrew his hand and waited quietly.

The system did not indicate that the task was successful.

"It really isn't enough," he murmured to himself.

His gaze fell on Asano, and he pondered to himself, an idea gradually forming in his mind.

"Asano-san, would you like to do a quick emotional practice together? I'd like to practice too."

As soon as she spoke, Atsuko Asano turned her head immediately, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"...Is it really okay?"

Yesterday's performance by Sakamoto Yu proved that his acting skills were excellent, and having his help is undoubtedly a godsend for her at this moment.

The entertainment industry is highly competitive. A good sense of the camera, control of facial expressions, and eye contact are essential skills for making a living, and these skills are not easily taught to outsiders.

He only teaches junior colleagues and close friends.

In a casual relationship, they'll only exchange pleasantries and will never teach you anything substantial.

She probed politely, with a hint of uncertainty:

"Won't this take up your time?"

Sakamoto Yu smiled gently, "Of course not."

"We were originally in the same production crew, so helping each other is only natural."

Atsuko Asano smiled with relief, her eyes softening, and nodded gently.

"Right here?" she asked, getting up. "Or should we find somewhere a little cooler?"

Upon hearing this, Sakamoto Yu glanced into the photography studio.

"Let's go to that corner over there, where the light won't reach and it'll be cooler."

"Okay, sure."

The two went to a corner.

There were a few scattered cigarette butts on the ground.

It's probably a place where male employees relax and smoke.

Sakamoto Yu took out his script.

Both the lead actors and supporting actors have scripts with complete storylines.

It's convenient to know the cause and effect, otherwise the actor can't react.

You only need to pay attention to the dialogue in the museum section when playing Sakamoto Yu.

In the drama, Hiroshi Tachi plays Toshiki Takayama, and Atsuko Asano plays Kaoru Mayama. They are longtime friends and bickering lovers.

Sakamoto Yu silently opened the entry effect.

The moment he opened his mouth, his familiar tone came naturally:

"Kaoru! We've caught a big fish this time!"

I kicked the apartment door open with a bang, and there were drugs hidden in that guy's pajamas!

Atsuko Asano didn't expect that Yu Sakamoto wouldn't give any foreshadowing.

He was stunned for a moment, but then his face lit up with joy.

With his abilities, he can definitely adjust his condition.

She quickly composed herself and immersed herself in the role:

"Mr. Takayama, how many times have you received a compensation claim?"

"You still haven't gotten your deposit back for the car that was damaged during last month's 'Rampage Search'?"

Upon hearing this, Sakamoto Yu frowned.

He was incredibly sensitive to the emotions conveyed in the dialogue and immediately noticed the problem.

"Asano-san, when Kaoru faces Takayama's constant trouble-making, besides feeling helpless, does she also seem a bit angry and impatient?"

"This approach will be closer to how the two people interact."

Sakamoto Yu slowly guided him.

Asano's expression was serious. He nodded slightly and silently adjusted himself according to this feeling.

"Mr. Takayama, how many times have we received compensation notices now?"

Asano's tone of helplessness clearly conveyed Kaoru Mayama's powerlessness.

"You still haven't gotten your deposit back for the car that was damaged during last month's 'Rampage Search'?"

The next second, her tone suddenly became more forceful, as if she were about to slam her hand on the table.

In front of acquaintances, his anger was perfectly displayed without any concealment.

The moment the lines are spoken.

Asano's eyes widened suddenly; the fleeting glimmer of inspiration she had previously possessed was now firmly grasped by her.

"This is it!"

Her voice was strained with excitement.

"That's the feeling!"

Asano looked up at Sakamoto Yu with surprise.

He remained calm and composed, as if noticing this detail was nothing out of the ordinary.

Keep in mind, this was his first time writing lines for a museum.

Atsuko Asano's gaze towards him changed instantly.

Who exactly is he?

The control over the dialogue is so subtle, and more importantly, this person was previously unknown and unheard of.

But then she thought about it again and felt relieved.

There are too many talented but unknown actors from humble backgrounds.

Many people with outstanding abilities go undiscovered, and some even retire from the entertainment industry and remain unknown.

For a moment, looking at this outstanding young man in front of her, she felt an indescribable pity.

How many days and nights did he practice silently to reach his current level?

"Sakamoto-kun, you've really had a tough time."

Atsuko Asano couldn't help but whisper.

Sakamoto Yu chuckled and shook his head. "As long as you work hard, there will always be results."

"I'm just a little luckier than others."

"bite--"

[Mission: Approach Atsuko Asano and cleverly help her out of a predicament once (Completed)]

[Reward: Mastery of Character Development]

Asano shook his head. "Sakamoto-kun, you're being too modest."

"Asano-san is absolutely right."

Just then, a deep voice came from behind.

Sakamoto and Asano turned around at the same time. The people who came were Kiyoshi Nishimura, Hiroshi Tate, and Kyohei Shibata, each of them holding a cigarette that they had just taken a couple of puffs of.

They were getting ready to go to the smoking area.

They happened to be passing by and overheard the entire scene they had just performed.

Museum Director Hiroshi walked up to him with a hearty laugh, patted Sakamoto Yu on the shoulder, and looked at him with admiration in his eyes:

"Young man, you've got real talent! With that delivery of lines and your command of language, you'll definitely be a pillar of society someday!"

He seemed completely unconcerned that this junior was playing his role so smoothly.

"His sense of language is very accurate, and his understanding of the character is very thorough."

Even Shibata Kyohei, who is usually not good with words, rarely spoke up to praise.

Don't be fooled by Sakamoto Yu pointing out only one shortcoming; even seasoned and experienced actors often get stuck at emotional moments.

Sakamoto Yu paused for a moment, then quickly smiled, nodded to the group, and gave a slight bow.

Faced with everyone's praise, he didn't show any exaggerated expression on his face. He was neither coy nor humble, nor was he smug.

"Thank you for your kind words, seniors. I will continue to work hard."

Kiyoshi Nishimura took a drag of his cigarette, his gaze lingering for a moment on Yu Sakamoto's calm face, before beckoning to him:

"Alright, Nakamura's filming is over. You're next. Go get ready."
