Millennium Actress Page #2

When did this turn into a movie?!

That's when I started making films.

I see.

How did that start?

Well, you remember

the managing director said...

his next film was set in Manchuria...

Manchuria! Of course!

Thank you, Chiyoko.

I knew you'd say yes!

Well, I should serve my country...

shouldn't I?

I see...

You were just following that man!

Yes!

I didn't care about movies!

Chiyoko's playing the title role.

How do you do?

I'm sure you recognize...

Shimao Eiko, our biggest star...

Hello, Chieko.

Aren't we pensive!

Hey!

He is...

Give it back!

Looks like Dad found me an actress!

Well! You work fast, "sonny".

"Chizuko," wasn't it?

"Chiyoko."

This is "Mr. Otaki",

the managing director's son.

A promising young director.

He loves auditioning actresses.

Sorry. I shouldn't tease.

Someone left it with me.

If I see him in Manchuria,

I want to give it back.

We're not going there for fun.

Who is he? What's his name?

I don't know.

Then how will you find him?

He paints.

- Paints what?

- I don't know.

Not even that?

But...

I'm sure he's in Manchuria!

Never heard of anyone like that.

I remember this!

But I'm sure he's around here!

I don't need amateurs hanging around!

I'm not leaving!

I've crossed a whole ocean...

to get here, and...

I... I...

Director! What's going on here?!

This girl doesn't know her lines!

OK, OK!

Once you've made yourself

into your character...

the lines will come welling up

naturally from inside.

Yes, sir.

I told you this was no role

for a rank amateur!

I... I just want to see him!

Great! Let's do a take!

Well done.

That was great.

You can act.

What's wrong with you?

So... any clues to the guy

who owns the key?

You still haven't given up?

Why not try a fortune-teller?

There's one near here

they say is very good.

Divination

The man you seek is in the north.

He paints. He's tall.

And would he happen

to be searching for a key?

Do you know him?

If that's the man...

Tell me! Please! Where is he?

Leaving the shoot?!

That's unprofessional!

You just don't understand women.

And you do?

Mass Roundup OfActivists

In North Manchuria

He's a lucky guy, if she's

willing to follow him this far.

Would that it were me!

Chiyoko! Chiyoko!

Nationalists?

Communists?

Look!

Bandits!

Miss Fujiwara! Chiyoko!

Hey! This is really happening!

Chiyoko! Speak to me!

Oh... excuse me.

Boss! Let's get out of here!

Where'd the bandits go?!

What's the meaning of this?!

That's what I'd like to know!

Where did Manchuria go?!

Your Highness!

Where is he?

My lord is in the castle!

Your Highness! You mustn't!

My lord!

My lord!

Why would you not wait for me?!

I... I...

You cried at all her films?
