Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

Soon, it was time for the rehearsal before the main feature.

Xia Jing was supervising the boy beside her, looking in his direction with a scrutinizing gaze.

This inadvertently added to the tension in the atmosphere.

The surrounding supervisors and others looked at Sato with a mixture of tension and curiosity.

They had participated in the initial audition and were quite optimistic about Sato.

Everything would have been fine without this budget cut.

But unexpectedly, so many troubles arose out of nowhere.

If the boy wants to seize this opportunity and maximize his gains, then he can only make Xia Jing see his value.

However, they can't help Sato on this point.

Furthermore, they don't have a high opinion of Sato.

After all, aside from scenes involving death, the boy's acting skills weren't particularly good in previous auditions.

It is difficult to surprise Natsui.

Thinking of this, the director and the others looked at Sato with a hint of regret.

In the past, Sato would have had this time to get more screen time and allow his acting skills to gradually improve.

However, the funding issues led to a series of chain reactions, which reduced the teenager's time.

Even if they favor Sato, they can't help him in this regard.

After all, being optimistic doesn't mean you can influence the decisions made by those above.

We're all just working people.

"Are you ready?"

Looking at the boy in front of him, Chiba became even more serious.

"Now comes the real show. Although it's not time to decide your future yet, if you want to boost your morale faster, you need to perform well!"

"Don't let the pressure of the situation on the field get the better of you."

Sato, if you perform as you did during training, your acting skills will be absolutely fine.

Furthermore, Uehara had also told him about Sato's recent progress, and given the boy's cautious nature, there shouldn't be any problems.

But some people succumb to pressure.

Although he didn't think Sato would lose, he still gave him a warning.

"I understand, I'm ready."

Seeing Sato's usual serious yet not overly nervous demeanor, Chiba nodded.

"Let's begin."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Sato clenched his fist again.

Whether he can gain the approval of his superiors and be willing to spend money on him depends on this one move.

Furthermore, this filming experience allowed him to leave a good impression on Toei, Fuji TV, the Kansai production team, and other related parties.

In short, it was successful, and there were many benefits.

It failed, and although it wasn't a complete waste of effort, it was still a poor choice.

He's making money too slowly right now.

Thinking it over, Sato took another deep breath.

My resolve hardened once again.

......

"Ogawa-san, aren't you nervous?"

Sanada, who was not present, looked at the manager he had just met with curiosity.

Is Sato's composure contagious?

He was incredibly nervous.

This was under the premise that he knew Sato's approximate progress and that the other party was probably fine.

In contrast, the woman's face remained as cold as ever.

She still maintains her icy beauty demeanor.

However, Sato has probably already reported his progress to this icy beauty.

"I believe in my artists."

Ogawa said coldly and coolly.

"Ogawa-san..."

Upon hearing this, Sanada's face showed a mixture of admiration and pity for the boy.

Although Ogawa is good-looking, it makes the other person's icy face even more terrifying.

It must have been tough on my junior brother.

Of course, out of Sanada's sight, Ogawa's ten fingers were trembling slowly.

Of course she was nervous.

They were even more nervous than Sanada and the others.

After all, even if Sato performed, she wouldn't quite understand it.

Moreover, she is good at judging people, understands what Xia Jingsang means, and knows the situation of her company.

If successful, the company's problems will naturally be solved.

If it fails, the company will only be able to barely stay afloat, and judging from President Maeda's words, he is probably preparing to close down again.

Even if Sato were to start his own business, it would take a lot of time and money, and... she might not be able to work with Sato again.

Thinking about this, Xiao Chuan always felt an emptiness in his heart.

Therefore, Sato's performance here has a profound impact not only on Sato herself, but also on her and the company.

If Sato becomes more popular, gets a GG endorsement, and earns more money, her share of the profits will only increase.

Moreover, she didn't want Sato to fail from the bottom of her heart.

She wanted to see him triumphantly reach the top.

"I need to study acting more when I get back."

She is not a qualified agent.

Compared to Sato's progress, she still has a long way to go.

If she, as an agent, falls behind, then she is not qualified to be an agent; she cannot be left behind.

This applies to both his own future and Sato's future.

......

Amidst the conversation between the two and the tense gazes of everyone else, Sato and the others, having completed their final preparations, quickly began their rehearsal.

Sato was standing among Chiba and the others, looking at the villain above him, and raised the blade in his hand.

The intense light shining on my body gave my skin a different kind of burning sensation than usual.

He needed to be perfect to make a name for himself here, and he had been preparing for this day for a long time. Although he had Chiba's guarantee and knew that he could probably satisfy Natsui, it was like a bonus level in a game. The better he performed, the higher the reward would be.

He needs to grow up as soon as possible.

He wanted to incorporate everything into this rehearsal.

As his thoughts gradually settled into his mind, the boy's own impression of the character quietly surfaced, and at the same time, his skills were activated.

Soon, even the sound of breathing in the already quiet scene diminished slightly.

Sato's acting skills shocked the entire directing team, who hadn't seen it before.

Every subtle change in his face revealed his upright and unyielding integrity, while his wide-open eyes, slightly curved eyebrows, and subtly twitching lips all betrayed his passionate spirit.

Sato's mere presence there was enough to surprise them.

They had never heard of Sato having such acting skills.

Besides the film crew, Sanada and the others also stared wide-eyed.

"Have you made progress again?"

Sanada was astonished by what he saw.

The last time I saw the other person perform was before they went to see Uehara, but only a few days had passed.

However, this natural feeling was even better than when I practiced before.

As for Ogawa, he observed the atmosphere at the scene and then quickly turned his gaze towards Natsui.

Although she didn't quite understand it, she felt that Sato's acting was better than before.

However, in the end, it was the producer who made the final decision on Sato's value.

Looking over, Ogawa saw that the producer's eyes were wide open, and a hint of surprise was clearly visible on his usually serious face.
