Kenshi Okada, who was involved in a litigation dispute with the firm
Some "brotherhoods" are sometimes even stronger than brothers whose blood is thicker than water. Japanese actor Tsuyoshi Ayano (39) reached out to Kenshi Okada (22), who was recently involved in a lawsuit with his firm, while actor Oguri Shun (38) also said that he wanted to protect the two. Will they be able to rescue their younger brother Kenshi Okada from the mire of this litigation dispute?
At present, Okada is still fighting with his firm. The president of the firm was exposed to abuse of power, and the company's employees left one after another. Under such circumstances, Okada was deeply distrustful of the company's situation and demanded to terminate the contract with the company.
Ayano reached out to Okada, who was embroiled in a litigation dispute. The two co-starred in the movie "The Legacy of the Euthanasia Doctor", and they are similar to each other and see each other at the same time. Although Ayano is more than a round older than Okada, the two are as close as brothers.
The Legacy of the Euthanasia Doctor
Ayano, who learned from the news that Okada was in trouble, immediately got in touch with Okada, and according to an entertainment reporter, "In order for Okada's future acting path to continue, Ayano just had a heart-to-heart conversation with him." The relationship between the two is so close that there is also news in the show business circle that Okada is going to jump ship.
Ayano's Tristone office has a number of powerful actors, including Kei Tanaka (36), who is 36, and Kentaro Sakaguchi (29), led by Oguri Shun (38).
The entertainment reporter in the previous article continued: "Okada is now worried about his future acting career, because once an actor causes such a dispute, it will be very difficult to set up a personal studio or want to enter other companies. However, Tristone and Okada now have a good relationship with this company, and it is likely that Okada will be included in the company. Most importantly, Oguri's position in Tristone is pivotal.
Oguri is both the façade of the company and a member of the company's board of directors. Last year, it was reported that Oguri would assume the position of president of Tristone.
A person in the film industry said: "If Kenshi Okada is to be introduced, Oguri will definitely take the lead. This is also because he has also fought for the reform of the way actors work before. ”
The actors exhausted their physical strength to shoot from morning to night on the shooting scene, and the working environment can be said to be very harsh. In such a situation, if there is any unreasonableness in the contract with the economic company, it will be very difficult to protest or engage in collective bargaining.

"Oguri has been planning to create an actors' union since a long time ago, and he once said, 'If you don't fight with the idea of death, the Japanese showbiz circle will not change.'" With such a strong belief, he must not be able to sit idly by and ignore okada's situation. So it's no surprise that he can say something like, 'I'm guarding the two of them.' ”
For Kenshi Okada, who is now distressed by a contract dispute with the firm, working under the protection of the company's management and the senior actors who can tolerate and understand him is a good opportunity.
However, according to the former Entertainment Journal, "This lawsuit is likely to be a protracted battle." Because the two sides have not reached a consensus, there is no intention of reconciliation. Even if it is expected to jump ship, it is still after the lawsuit is over. ”
And even if people like Tsuyoshi Ayano and Shun Oguri can afford Okada, the show business can't afford to wait for him.
A relevant person from the tv station said: "Okada's crew invitations are sent to the company that is now fighting a lawsuit, and Okada has also accepted these jobs." If he wants to terminate his contract with the company, then his behavior seems to contradict himself. In addition, Okada has also been appointed as the main actor of NHK TV's autumn morning TV series, and perhaps he will face more and more difficulties in the future. ”
The response we got after interviewing Okada's office was: "We are still fighting a lawsuit, so there is no such thing as jumping ship to other companies." Ayano Tsuyoshi and Oguri's office also strongly denied: "Our company adheres to a family concept, so we will not rob other companies of carefully trained actors halfway." If we have this kind of energy, it is better to cultivate those new actors in our own company that have not yet sprouted. Therefore, it is not true that Kenshi Okada wants to jump ship to come to us. ”
Ayano Tsuyoshi used to say that Okada's eyes are "a pair of eyes that can see the truth", but what kind of truth do these eyes see now?
