Chapter 20: Is it Fahai and Xiaoqing?
Rin Chihara didn't demolish Michiko, and now even if he proposes not to use this little girl, Murakami and Fujii may not agree...... No, they definitely won't agree, for them, Michiko, a little girl, has a huge use value.
I looked away, as if I had made a mistake......
This Michiko Fukasawa should be a precocious child, and it looks like she has entered the rebellious period in advance, probably the kind of legendary mother who wants her daughter to become a phoenix, and her daughter is overwhelmed, and her heart is becoming more and more distorted and fragile, and she is beginning to wander on the edge of blackening.
This is not unusual, it is difficult for child stars to achieve positive results, most of them began to take on the work of adults when they were children, and they came into contact with the adult world, resulting in deformities in psychological development, fragile three views, and when they are older, they are either depraved or depressed, and most of them have tragic endings, which is regrettable.
He didn't say anything, he regretted it a little but couldn't change it, so he could only act as if it hadn't happened, and after being silent for a while, he went to do his job on his own, and he didn't see the little girl Michiko Fukasawa again for the next two days, and then finally it was the day when the crew officially started filming
He finally entered the studio number 17 for the first time.
The studio was allocated to them by the Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, and if the ratings were passable and they could shoot for two, three, or four seasons, they might have to stay in the studio for a year or two.
The studio covers a large area, a bit like a large warehouse, but the door is full of loops, making it easy to move the camera. The roof of the shed is a variety of hanging lighting equipment, and there are also many steel cables, which can be hung with Weiya to shoot the shots flying around.
On the left side of the studio are a number of small cubicles for the actors to rest temporarily - the actors spend half of the time in the studio waiting for the scene, and it is easy to get in the way if they don't find a place to lock them up;
On the right is a control room, which can control the lighting equipment and sound collection equipment of the studio, and can also move the camera, and can also simulate a lot of natural weather conditions, such as lightning or something, just press two buttons.
The middle part of the venue is divided into three parts, in the center is a detachable bus, now only two-thirds of the back, the front part of the car has been removed - this bus is obviously just a shooting prop, there are no wheels at all, there is no engine, it is placed on a flatbed trailer, presumably pulled around by the prop master.
This is the property of the production bureau, and the bus scene in the TV series is common, and there is such a prop who uses it and who applies for it, and it can save a lot of money over time.
Similarly, there are tram cars, airplane cabins, etc., all of which are used by one crew after another crew is used, which is another benefit of the production bureau system.
Of course, you have to be "expensive in the real", rent a bus and shoot it inside, but it's really "expensive" and troublesome, and it's far from safe in the studio - the original work was shot on the tram, the effect is more realistic, but it also costs more money, and when it comes to a poor and sour crew like them, it's better to make do in the studio!
Rin Chihara was very curious to turn around, and found that there was also an electric device under the bus, which could make the bus shake violently or tremble slightly, so as to imitate the feeling of bumps in driving, and at the same time, the window was covered with a blue curtain, and the scenery outside the window would be made up later.
On the other side of the bus, a small stage has been set up for the narration of the opening and transition of each episode, and on the opposite side, there is the "hospital" composite scene to be used in the first short of the first episode, where several prop masters are still busy putting the finishing touches on what looks like something that can be reused.
Directly in front of these scenes are two cameras and the director's lens imaging monitoring station, and there is also a rail-mounted camera on the side, and there is also a suspended rotating swinging robotic arm above the ceiling, which can be operated by the control room, but it seems that it is not needed for the time being, and there is no camera hanging on it.
The drama "Wonderful Story of the World", the funding budget given by the compilation committee feels very small, but it provides a large number of auxiliary manpower, free props and free equipment.
But just because it can be reused, it is no wonder that the production companies of this TV series are not very successful, and it is estimated that in terms of cost, they will have to be rubbed on the ground by the production bureau system.
As soon as Rin Chihara briefly visited the circle, Iori Murakami began to call him, "Chihara, this way." ”
He walked over quickly, and found that Iori Murakami was directing people to set up the tribute table, and the tribute table was divided into three layers, the top layer had a doll that sat reclining and looked lazy, with a goose egg face, long black hair up to the waist, dressed in a plain kimono; on the second floor, there were two kneeling dolls, dressed in simple red and white witch costumes; and on the third floor, there were some ritual utensils, water, flowers, and fruit cakes.
Before the crew started filming, in order to shoot smoothly or hope that the work would sell well, ask for psychological comfort and worship God, this Chihara Rin can understand, he has even seen the second master of the Guan, which is similar to the black and astringent will open the incense hall, but I didn't expect it to be the same here, but he didn't know the puppet he worshipped, so he asked Murakami Iori: "This is ......"
Iori Murakami clasped his hands together and said softly, "It's the Jedi Ji in the clouds, the patron saint of the artist." ”
Rin Chihara recalled for a while, and had no impression of the name, Murakami Iori knew that he was a newcomer who had just entered the industry, so he explained it to him directly, and said with a smile: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a king who angered a great monk with high mana, and the great monk set a trap and sealed the dragon god with a rope, but there was no dragon god to swallow the clouds and spit out fog, and there was no way to rain, causing a great drought in the world, the people were not able to make a living, and the country was about to fall into a catastrophe. ”
Murakami Iori sorted out the tribute, "At this time, the Jemmy in the clouds suddenly appeared, entered the temple in the name of praying for the blessing of the deceased husband, and tricked the great monk into falling in love with her through her beautiful face and superb acting skills, and vowed to marry her, and on the wedding night, the Jemmy in the clouds set out the location where the dragon god was sealed, and released the dragon god while the great monk was asleep, directly relieving the crisis of destroying the country. ”
"And then?"
"Later, there was nothing, and the Jedi Ji in the clouds lifted the danger of destroying the country, and disappeared again, without even leaving his name. In order to commemorate her exploits, later generations called her the Jekumi in the clouds, and most of the Kabuki admired her courage, appearance, and acting skills, so they worshiped her as the guardian saint, and today, she has become the guardian saint of the artist. ”
Rin Chihara nodded his head again and again, feeling that this plot was a little familiar—was it Fahai and Xiaoqing? However, this story is indeed quite legendary.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the Jedi Ji in the clouds again, wanting to see the kind of beauty of the prosperous era that made the masters of the country fall under the skirt, but no matter how you look at it, it is also a goose egg face puppet, and the workmanship is not very fine.
Seeing that he seemed very interested, Murakami Iori proposed, "Do you want me to take one for you and put it at home to pray for?" This kind of doll is often used, and the station just bought a thousand, so it's okay to take one or two. ”
It turned out to be a consumable? Chihara Rin suddenly felt that the style of this peerless Ji in the clouds had dropped by three notches, and shook his head and said, "No need, Miss Murakami." ”
He didn't believe this, there was a small empty shrine in the original owner's apartment, and he had moved it to sell scrap, and there was no place to put it back.
It didn't matter if Iori Murakami was rejected, seeing that the preparations were almost complete, he beckoned the crew to come over and began the filming ceremony.
The people in the entire crew formed a triangular formation according to their positions and qualifications, and Iori Murakami stood at the top, stretched out his hand and knocked on the rock, and then led everyone to bow their heads together in the crisp and long aftertaste, praying for a smooth shooting and a big sell.
Rin Chihara is not disgusted by this, and he also bows his head and hopes that "World Wonderful Story" can achieve good ratings, at least not much worse than the original world.
It's really a bit empty, the original world filmed that film was originally just to make up the time, a producer found a lot of screenwriters, asked them to write a small story, and then got a passerby actor to start filming, and in the end, the big hit was unintentionally inserted into the willows.
Now that Iori Murakami has officially submitted the plan and applied for the budget, although the crew is also very shabby, it should be regarded as a real heart, so it would be a real tragedy to get a heart to plant flowers and not live in the end......
Rin Chihara prayed silently, but not to ask God, but to hope that the crew could give a little strength.
Soon after, Iori Murakami slapped his palms and opened his eyes, directing two staff members to bring a brazier and burn the Jemmy Hime.
Chihara Rin couldn't help it again, it wasn't that he was making a fuss, but that he really didn't understand something, and asked Arima Fujii beside him softly, "Why did you burn it?"
Is it too fierce to kill the gods as soon as the filming starts? Besides, just after begging people, the bridge will be demolished before the river is crossed?
"Probably to let the doppelganger inform the deity, right?" Fujii Arima didn't know for sure, and said casually: "Anyway, the tradition is like this, it seems that in the past, Kabuki performances were burned down, maybe Yun Zhongji should go back to heaven?"
Chihara Rin has nothing to say, no wonder I want to buy a thousand, it turns out that I have to burn one every time I start shooting, but isn't it too much to treat the national saver like this......
The studio strictly prohibits smoking and fire, and the brazier was just burned for less than two minutes, and the staff took a fire extinguisher to spray it out, and then moved away directly - it felt very nonsensical, but the whole audience didn't care, probably the tradition is the tradition, the regulations are the regulations, and the regulations are still implemented after the tradition is done.
It is said that his brain circuits are sometimes really difficult to figure out, but the ceremony is not over yet, everyone moved away from Gongtai, and quickly got busy again, actor Takeda Kazuma also stood up and walked directly onto the small stage, while director Fujii directed the camera to point at him.
The scene notes came out and stood in front of the camera with a clapperboard and shouted, "First scene first act, 5, 4, 3......"
The whole studio darkened, the cylindrical light was projected on the small stage, Takeda Kazuma was dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, walked slowly to the light, and said slowly: "There are always many wonderful things in the world, some are incredible, some make people cry and laugh, and some are ......."
After he finished his lines, he walked under a blue screen again, and the shot was completed - there are all black eyes here, no blue eyes, and he is still used to using the blue screen to cut out the picture, and he will be "transformed" into a black cat here in the later stage.
Arima Fujii shouted softly, "Card, good", and even if the first scene was passed, he deliberately found the simplest one and put it in the first scene, so as to obtain the auspicious omen that the shooting can be passed in one shot.
Everyone collectively applauded lightly, with smiles on their faces, and it seemed that the morale was indeed +300 after the ceremony.
At this point, the filming ceremony is over, and the normal shooting process has begun.
Arima Fujii began to direct the photography, sound collection, and lighting adjustments, the makeup artist touched up Takeda Kazuma's makeup, and the assistant director on the bus didn't know where to bring out a group of passers-by and began to direct them to get on the bus and use them as a backdrop.
At the same time, Michiko Fukasawa appeared on the sidelines in a white dress.
The hospital scene is also busy, several staff members are drawing dark lines on the ground to facilitate the actors' movements, the actors of Miho's parents and doctors are playing the lines, and the grandmother's actors are lying on the bed, and the makeup artist starts to apply makeup.
are all proficient, busy but not chaotic, and even cooperate quite tacitly, probably all crews are similar, all of them are in the production bureau mode, and these people are used to it.
Iori Murakami has quietly left, filming the first episode here, she has to do the preparation for the second episode, the time is still very tight, for example, the first short drama will only be filmed for a day and a half, today it will be filmed in the studio, and tomorrow it will be filmed for half a day, and the assistant director has already brought people to prepare.
Rin Chihara moved a chair and sat behind Arima Fujii, writing a script while observing the situation. He had already agreed with Iori Murakami about this, and Iori Murakami agreed, but asked him to guarantee the quality and quantity of his works - if there was a problem, he still had to go back to the headquarters to stay, and if it didn't work, Iori Murakami Hachisō would put him in a hotel.
Thanks to the fact that you can be distracted and used for two purposes, otherwise you will have to sit at your desk for the first three years of your career.
Soon, Takeda Kazuma's play came to an end for the time being, and the staff began to adjust the furnishings of the small stage. The camera began to move, and it was in front of the bus again, ready to shoot a few scenes of Michiko in a daze on the bus - it really started, and every minute the budget was disappearing, and it was really urgent.
Michiko behaved very well, very naturally, looking out the window with her little hands on her cheeks, which was very cute, but Fujii, who was looking at the monitor coldly, stopped.
Michiko was stunned, quickly stood up, glanced at her mother behind the staff frowning, and quickly apologized to the director: "I'm sorry, supervision, is there something wrong?"
Chihara Rin didn't find a problem, this shot is Michiko walking over, sitting down, and then a close-up of her upper body plus a close-up of her face, that is, it takes a little longer to prepare for turning back with narration, at most, pay attention to less shooting outside the car window, in case the sharp-eyed audience finds out that the picture outside the window is fake, which is not difficult at all.
Fujii waved his hand and said, "It's not you, it's the passerby behind you...... yes, that's you, what's going on with you?"
