Movie World

In the early years of the Showa era, the Japanese film industry was in a booming season. The stars are shining, famous craftsmen are emerging in large numbers, and everyone is crazy about movies. Koharu (played by Yami Arimori), a girl who sells cigarettes and fruit at the Asakusa Imperial Cinema, is fresh and beautiful, and has inherited the acting talent of her actor parents. Her outstanding image was quickly discovered by the famous director Ogura (played by Yuki), who eventually brought her to the Kamata Photography Studio. Of course, the road to acting was very difficult. Xiaochun could only play some small roles without lines at first, and was often reprimanded by the director for his acting skills. The sad Koharu briefly considered quitting, but with the encouragement of her family and assistant director Shimada (played by Nakai Kiichi), she returned to the set. The hard-working Xiaochun continued to hone her acting skills and at the same time got the opportunity to work with many famous directors. With the disappearance of Kamata's boss, Kadan Kawashima Sumie (played by Keiko Matsuzaka), Koharu finally got the first important role in his acting career - the heroine in the movie "Duckweed"... This film is a commemorative work for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Shochiku Ofuna Photography, and won the 1987 Blue Ribbon Award for Best New Actress (Yami Arimori) and Best Supporting Actor (すまけい).
