Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

Chapter 117 The Eight Dogs of Satomi

"I'll go back and tell them, they'll definitely be happy!"

Saori said happily.

"Um."

Sato did not stop him.

After all, he had this plan all along.

"Also, I have to go to work today."

"Do you want me to find someone to take you out?"

After finishing their conversation about family, Sato asked...

Today he was at a rehearsal for another TV drama, so he couldn't bring anyone along.

"It's okay~ I already told Peach yesterday that she'd take me out to play~"

"I heard she even consulted with that Akimoto-san about her debut song today! I can go and watch!"

Sato was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, he said to his younger sister earnestly, "When you see Akimoto-san, don't say anything out of line, and don't agree to anything he says."

"Huh? Why would someone talk to me like that?"

Sato, facing his sister's question and looking at the girl's beautiful face, said earnestly, "I'll listen to you, brother."

Even if my own sister didn't go into the entertainment industry, she would have a bright future.

Why bother.

Of course, it's not certain that Akimoto will invite her, but it's always better to be cautious.

"Oh... okay."

Sato left only after seeing that the girl had agreed.

Without much delay, Sato quickly returned to the club.

Today's rehearsal took place inside the club.

After all, the club is in charge of the action direction, and Kurata is in charge of the karate aspect. He's just joining in for the upcoming rehearsal.

However, unlike the usual situation where only family members were present, this time the club's manager and a TV producer also came.

The reason is the same as the previous filming at TBS.

It all comes down to Sato's performance and whether the fight scenes directed by the club meet the requirements, etc.

"It's not difficult to satisfy them."

Inside the office, Chiba spoke to Sato, who had arrived early, and Kurata nodded in agreement.

"However, it's quite difficult to make a lasting impression on them."

Sato took over what the other person was saying.

"Yes, after all, they already know your current capabilities."

"The abilities of other players in the club are also a factor they consider."

This is not just Sato's problem, but a problem for the entire club and even the action industry.

If they want to earn money and gain status in this increasingly shrinking living space, they must all improve their abilities.

"Yes."

Sato nodded, but he still had the trust link to share skills.

It didn't really have any effect during the previous filming, since it was only a few minutes long, and TBS didn't seem to value the action scenes too much. What they valued more was the ratings and profits that his performance would bring them.

In contrast, the sword-fighting drama produced by the Japanese TV station this time is based on action scenes as a gimmick. His action scene is the first action scene in the first episode. If his senior brothers could fight him on equal footing for a few minutes, the reviews would definitely be better.

"By the way, teacher, do you have any news about the movie?"

"Movie?"

Chiba was stunned for a moment. Just when Sato thought he had been tricked by Yakushimaru, Chiba nodded with a complicated expression.

"There is a movie called 'The Eight Kenkens of Satomi,' which is an adaptation of a novel. The copyright belongs to Kadokawa, and it was produced in collaboration with Toei."

Chiba explained it simply.

"However, even though I've promoted you, Kadokawa is still hesitant. They probably want to look at other people."

"It's not confirmed yet, so I haven't told you. But how did you know?"

Chiba hadn't mentioned it before because the matter wasn't confirmed yet, but he hadn't expected Sato to find out on his own and come to ask him.

"I heard it from someone else."

"I see..."

Chiba didn't believe it; he had seen Yakushimaru come to see Sato before.

I've actually seen it quite a few times already.

Yakushimaru needs to show his face to get into the club; without his tacit approval, even Yakushimaru can't get in.

Listening to their conversation, Kurata chimed in, "Although Yakushimaru has a certain say in Kadokawa, it's not good to interfere with casting decisions, much less to interfere with them."

Yakushimaru sought interference from the operations team so that a man could become the lead actor?

That's no different from a showdown with Kadokawa.

Although there are rumors in the industry that Yakushimaru was semi-forced into the entertainment industry, none of the three here believe that the other party can give up such a promising future so easily.

"That's true, but how are the actors chosen?"

"The action choreography should have been finalized by now, right?"

Sato asked repeatedly.

He's very familiar with "The Eight Kenkens of Satomi". Although it's not good that he stole his senior's role, he'll find them more work in the future.

He believed he could still do it.

The most urgent task is to establish a firm foothold and then expand outwards.

Moreover, he remembered that the male protagonist's weapon was a pair of scythes, which was more like a ninja's weapon than a samurai's, and he happened to have ninja skills.

The original version of Satomi Hakkenden actually had some of the drawbacks of the old era.

With his current abilities, he could work with his two masters to revamp the action sequences, making the action sequences in the movie more visually appealing. Combined with their reputations, this movie, which was already a hit, would definitely reach new heights.

"It's their own decision, but they'll also take our opinions into account."

"In other words, there's no audition; it's all about your value."

Chiba explained.

In fact, Sato has become quite valuable now.

However, they worry that Sato has overshadowed Yakushimaru.

If the two are equally popular, it won't benefit for Sato to overshadow Yakushimaru and the others.

If Sato can achieve higher popularity than Yakushimaru through these two dramas, then they can ride on Sato's momentum.

This line of thinking isn't unreasonable; it all depends on the performance of Sato's two dramas and whether the market accepts him.

"So, right now, TV dramas are still the priority."

Chiba said.

"Yes."

With his own plans in mind, Sato left the office with the two men.

Meanwhile, Saori, who had also followed Momoko, arrived outside the club.

"Can we sneak over here without telling our brother?"

Saori looked at the building in front of her, blinked, and turned to look at the cute girl who was the culprit. She was a little curious, but her face showed a bit of helplessness.

"It's okay, there's still some time before I meet Akimoto-san."

"And Saori-neechan, aren't you curious about Sato-nii's job?"

"That makes me quite curious."

Saori did not deny it.

"But how are we going to get in?"

Although this is a club, it's not a place you can just walk into. If it were that easy, the club's fans would have already packed the place to the brim.

This is especially true for Sato's own fans.

The reason Yakushimaru was able to enter smoothly before was simply by scanning his face.

For the two of them, there really wasn't a way to get in.

"Forehead..."

Peach, who had clearly forgotten about the incident, looked embarrassed.

Before Momoko could speak, Sato's familiar voice interrupted the two of them.
