Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

Seeing the boy's confident answer, Chiba was stunned for a moment, then a smile reappeared on his face, and he changed the subject.

"I heard your movie is premiering today?"

As Chiba said, although he still came today, it was indeed for the movie premiere.

"Um."

Don't worry about it.

Seeing the boy lost in thought, Chiba assumed he was upset that he couldn't attend the premiere, so she offered him some words of comfort.

There will definitely be other opportunities in the future.

Chiba wasn't bragging, although their publicity efforts had been significantly reduced due to budget cuts.

But Sato has been making rapid progress recently, perfectly matching his expectations of a genius.

Although his physical progress was slow, his progress in swordsmanship made up for it.

Even if his acting isn't good, he'll accept it; at most, he'll just wear a mask.

He could already imagine the shock that Sato would bring to the audience when he appeared on the television screen.

Just thinking about it made Chiba's supposedly calm heart flutter a little.

"Thank you, teacher."

Sato smiled upon hearing this.

Half a month passed, and he became more and more familiar with Chiba and the people here.

There was no awkwardness when we started chatting.

However, the other party was wrong.

As an extra, he certainly couldn't attend today's premiere.

Everyone has their own place, a fact he had already grasped from his days as an extra and in his class in his previous life.

If you have a low status, then you are low.

Moreover, he now cares more about the audience's feedback after the premiere than about being praised at the event.

The positive reviews from the audience regarding his acting skills are the foundation for his future development.

As for the glory of the premiere, it was just a pipe dream for him; as long as the profits were enough, that was fine.

However, audience feedback can't be rushed right now.

Since there's no internet yet, news spreads much more slowly. He'll only know the specifics of the premiere when he gets back to the company tomorrow.

Thinking it over, Sato once again propped up his aching body, wiping his sweat-drenched head with a towel while also clearing his mind of distractions.

Although he wasn't sure if the audience would notice his minor role with only two shots, there was no point in thinking about it now.

"Please continue, Chiba-sensei."

"good!"

Seeing the boy's still calm eyes, Chiba was even more satisfied and stood still again.

Staying true to oneself and remaining unaffected by external influences may seem simple, but it is actually quite difficult.

Not to mention that his body is probably still in pain from the continuous training.

And so, we can all continue to stand here.

Sato's current mindset is enough to make Chiba have high expectations for his future. Judging from Sato's subsequent performance, he may be able to invest more in this young man.

As Chiba pondered this, the two men's wooden swords clashed once more. Meanwhile, on the other side, in the seats before the premiere began, Tanabe's face was gloomy, showing none of the joy that a premiere should have.

"Okay, who are you trying to fool with that face?"

The agent said irritably.

Tanabe was the center of attention at the premiere, and his gloomy demeanor would displease the director and producer.

"but......"

He's been having a really bad run of luck lately and has absolutely no motivation to do this.

First, the role he had his eye on was taken by Sato. Then there was Yakushimaru. Every time he saw him before, although he always had a cold face, he would at least say a word or two.

But lately, I just ignore him whenever I see him, without showing him any mercy.

Although the two are unrelated, both are frustrating.

"Are you going to talk about Sato again?"

"He's just an extra. He doesn't even deserve to be here today. He's just there to highlight your presence in the movie."

The agent said with a headache.

"but......"

Tanabe started with another "but," but was interrupted by her manager as soon as she began to speak.

"Most of the audience in the back came to see you."

"Sato did get the role, but whether he can do it well is another matter. If you do your job well, you will still be able to outdo him in the future."

He said that, but in reality he didn't care about Sato at all, since he didn't know him.

Regardless of what happens on Sato's side, Tanabe still has to work.

Does Sato's rise to fame mean Tanabe is going to retire from the entertainment industry?

With profit as the top priority, who cares about what the people on the sidelines like?

Unfortunately, despite having the talent for acting, Tanabe couldn't even figure out something as simple as this.

This time, before Tanabe could answer, the movie theater's big screen went dark.

The rustling voices around them also quieted down.

The movie has started.

......

The next morning, Sato squeezed onto the train as usual, got off at the previous stop, and started jogging.

Unlike before, the boy's sportswear was no longer secondhand, and he looked much more energetic and spirited than before.

The subtle gazes that had been lingering around us had also quietly disappeared.

However, Sato didn't pay any attention and just started running as usual.

The speed remained unchanged, the posture remained unchanged, and even the expression remained the same as before.

However, some things are different today.

For example, Sato had just entered the company entrance when Ogawa stopped him.

The woman, looking around like a thief, quickly grabbed Sato's hand only after making sure no one was watching.

"Sato!"

At this moment, the usually aloof and icy woman seemed like a completely different person, her face flushed with excitement.

"Is there a result yet?"

Seeing Xiaochuan's expression, the boy's suppressed emotions slowly began to relax.

This is his first job since he arrived here. In his previous life, he was just a student, and this is also his first job.

He doesn't care about the thoughts of people related to this drama, such as Yakushimaru and Tanabe, but he cares about his own performance.

Judging from the audience's reaction and how many fans he gains will be the first step in supporting his future.

It's impossible not to be nervous, but he managed to suppress it.

Judging from Xiao Chuan's expression now, his performance should be quite good, right?

"Preliminary results are in!"

Ogawa led the boy to an empty meeting room and placed a folder in front of him.

"This is a compilation of questionnaire results from outside the premiere, done by working overtime."

"There are also several compilations of newspaper clippings."

"Um."

Sato gestured for the other person to continue.

"Although the questionnaire didn't contain any questions directly related to you, but..."

Ogawa turned to one of the pages, which featured the actor he was most interested in, someone he had first met through this film.

Of those who answered "I don't know," 60% did, but 30% of them had his name written on them.

"Do you know what this means?!"

Before he could speak, Xiao Chuan excitedly grabbed his shoulder.

"That means! These people specifically remembered your character's name, saw the final credits, and then found your name!"
