章 47: Chapter 47: Expectations from Mother
The blushing face of the little Loli in front of him greatly aroused Nanaya's inner desire to protect her. He subconsciously touched the little Loli's head gently with his hand.
Sada, who was standing aside, immediately warned: "Hey, Director Kiryu. Even if you are a new director, if you dare to do something to my child, I will call the police."
"How is it possible!"
Nanaya let go of his hand awkwardly. He would never admit that the scene of himself being taken away by the police had indeed flashed through his mind just now.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
Nanaya became slightly interested in this little Loli who was the only one who did not leave with the other children. He squatted down and tried to make this overly nervous Loli relax with the most friendly expression possible.
"Um... Mr. Director?"
Maybe it was because of Nanaya's scrutinizing gaze that made her feel a little frightened, but the black-haired loli took a step back involuntarily, but then she seemed to have made up her mind and stood still.
"Little sister, do you know me?"
Nanaya thought the other party knew him, so he didn't leave with the other clueless kids.
The little girl shook her head slowly, her face flushed red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she would cry at any time.
"Don't be nervous, brother, I'm not a bad person~"
Nanaya curled the corners of his mouth, trying to comfort the loli, but the smile seemed to have the opposite effect.
"Hmm..."
The little girl looked even more frightened, and she began to tremble all over.
"Nanaya-san, do you know that you will scare this lovely young lady by doing this?" Shonan put away his game console and came to Nanaya.
With a beautiful woman in front of him (although she is just a pretty girl), how could this guy continue to focus on the game?
"Little lady, you don't have to be afraid~ My name is Shonan Rantaro, and I'm your guardian angel~?" Shonan said as he shook his hair and threw a wink at the loli.
"Alas!!!"
Shonan's action really scared the little girl, and she hugged the person closest to her as quickly as possible to seek a sense of security.
Looking at his thighs being tightly hugged by the little loli, Nanaya suddenly had the illusion that Shonan was somewhat useful sometimes.
Although I don't know why this loli didn't hug her agent Sada, because of Shonan's interruptions, the loli's trust in herself increased a lot.
The loli in front of me is indeed quite good-looking. Her long black hair is tied into a ponytail, and her big watery eyes give her a very cute feeling.
Although she doesn't have the aristocratic temperament of Illya, her delicate appearance can inspire people's desire to protect her. From this point of view, this child seems to be compatible with Miyu in some aspects.
[The appearance is almost acceptable, and then there are some details. ]
Nanaya pulled Loli to the bench in the rest area in the corner of the corridor. He first carried Loli to the chair, and then he sat next to Loli.
"Now, little sister, why didn't you go with them?"
Nanaya wanted to know what the little girl's motivation was for staying and applying to be an actor. You have to know that children lack their own judgment and have the strongest sense of group. Following the crowd is basically their subconscious choice. This weak little girl doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is particularly proactive, so Nanaya wants to ask her the reason why she stayed.
Children and animals are the two biggest unstable factors on the set. Unlike adults who have self-control, you can never accurately predict what will happen to a child in the next second, so Nanaya must ask the child in advance about his motivation for wanting to participate.
"Because... Yumi wants to work, any job."
Nanaya raised his eyebrows after hearing this. This sentence sounded familiar, just like the situation of a woman he knew.
But the woman who cheated him is not having a good time now, or should I say it is very bad. Because of the popularity of "Kara no Kyoukai" and the fact that J-family has given up on the relationship with the pretty boy, the woman has now become a laughing stock in the circle.
Due to her lack of vision and her unauthorized breaking of contracts, Adachi Satomi is currently having a very difficult time in the entertainment industry.
Nanaya even heard that someone had heard about her acting in Ryougi Shiki and planned to have her film a few special action movies wearing Ryougi Shiki's costume. Unfortunately, they didn't get the copyright from Lin Bao in the end.
The woman's current situation was like a model wearing a high-cut swimsuit taking photos on the beach, with one foot in the water and getting wet. As for whether the woman jumped into the water to swim or was kicked in by someone, this matter had nothing to do with Nanaya, anyway, it was her own choice.
Nanaya felt that he was already showing kindness by not intending to do something like plastering the streets with posters of that woman's future new movies.
[Why did I think of that woman? Is it because I've been too tired recently that I've started to have wild thoughts? ]
Nanaya shook his head and drove the woman out of his mind. He stroked the head of the loli who called herself Yumi and asked softly: "Why does Yumi want to work?"
Yumi whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Because Yumi doesn't want to disappoint her mother again..."
"Mother..."
Nanaya sighed. He had guessed something. Except for a very small number of children who were interested in the circle or whose family environment was already in the circle, the vast majority of other children entered the circle because of their parents.
Some of these parents are motivated by money, while many are purely selfish. The former are bad and stupid, while the latter are stubborn and authoritarian.
"Adults are always like this, imposing on their children what they cannot do. They treat their children as their own clones and make them realize the dreams they could not realize."
Nanaya's voice sounded somewhat helpless. This kind of thing is not only the case with parents of child stars like Yumi. In fact, no matter in ancient or modern times, at home or abroad, there are always such things. In the name of doing good for the children and caring for the children, they let the children do things beyond their ability, just to achieve their own dreams.
After hearing what Nanaya said, Yumi began to sway.
"Mom, she..."
Before Yumi could finish her words, she was interrupted by a shout.
"Yu~mi~chan~"
A sticky voice sounded from the other side of the corridor, and this voice gave Nanaya goose bumps on his arms.
"Mom...Mom..."
Yumi's body shook even more violently.
Nanaya saw a woman in her thirties walking slowly towards him with a smile on her face, but Nanaya always felt that there was something indescribable in her smile.
"Hello, Mr. Sada. Thank you for taking care of my daughter."
"Hello, ma'am."
The woman bowed to Sada and said hello, but Sada looked embarrassed. He didn't seem to be happy about the woman's appearance, but felt that she was a big trouble.
"Ah, who are these people?"
The woman looked at Nanaya, who was sitting next to her woman, and Shonan and Tamari, who were beside him, with a curious look in her eyes.
"them..."
Nanaya spoke before Sada: "We are trainee agents at the agency. This time we followed Sada-senpai to see the children under his management."
"Oh, could it be that you guys will be Yumi-chan's new manager?"
"Maybe..." Nanaya answered ambiguously.
Nanaya's words made the mother smile again. She took Nanaya's hand and said, "Sir, please give me more advice in the future. If there is a good job, please consider my Yumi. My child is very talented. I believe her performance will not disappoint you, Mr. Agent. Let me tell you, my child is..."
Looking at this talkative woman, Nanaya couldn't help but think of the mama-san who was very good at sales when he met her when he followed his teacher to the Ginza Club.
"Mother."
Seeing her mother's overly enthusiastic attitude, Yumi quickly called her mother.
"Yumi, you shouldn't have any problems, right?" The woman looked at her daughter, her face full of expectation. "After all, you are so talented and hardworking. You have been taking classes in child star training classes since kindergarten. Whether it is singing, dancing or acting, you are all at the highest level. Now she just needs an opportunity. As long as there is an opportunity..."
At the end, Yumi's mother's voice even became a little crazy. She held her daughter's shoulders tightly with both hands, as if she couldn't wait for her daughter to get the opportunity she mentioned.
All Yumi could do was stand by her mother's side. There was pleading and a hint of expectation in her eyes when she looked at Nanaya.
[I see... This child must be under a lot of pressure. If this continues, this child will definitely be broken.]
Nanaya understood why the girl wanted to get a job, even if it was just a small role in a work by an unknown director. At least this would at least be able to live up to her mother's expectations.
"Really? Don't make me sound like a villain."
Nanaya scratched his short hair and let out a helpless sigh.
クリエイターの想い 
Onigiri
Onigiri pS: In fact, the careers of child stars and idols are very similar. They both spend several years fighting for a chance to rise. However, even if they can become popular, they will soon fall. Because their fans like them for their identities as "children" and "idols", and these two identities have very strong time limits.
It was only a few years ago when the 48 families rose to prominence that the age limit for idols was lowered significantly thanks to several of the 48 families' nearly 30-year-old members, but the age limit has basically never exceeded 30.
In comparison, male idols are much more awesome. If they take good care of themselves, they can basically look their best in their 30s or 40s. Some immortal male idols can look their best in their 50s, such as Tom Cruise, who is almost 60 and still looks stunning. _(:з」∠)_
Moreover, male idols are generally more good-looking than female idols. As mentioned before, female idols are the leftovers from other professions in the entertainment industry, while male stars (especially those with good looks) debuted as idols and then became full-time actors or singers, so they have more career options. A typical example is the great Kimura Takuya.
Of course, it is an indisputable fact that the male idols in the East Asian entertainment industry have been generally homogenized in recent years. It is not just here, but also the neighboring South Korean and Japanese Johnny's have come up with some new good stuff. ┓(???`?)┏
