Chapter 30: The Road of Epic Difficulty
In the general crew, the assistant director is the biggest unlucky guy, he hangs the director's name but is not responsible for shooting, only responsible for handling all chores related to filming - chores, you should do it well, there is no credit, but if you don't do it well, just wait to be sprayed, and the crime will be added to one degree!
It's a very hard job, sometimes it's good to be able to hang the title of executive director, and when the director lacks skills, he can also be in charge of the camera and have a good time, and he finally didn't do chores in vain;
Shingo Yoshizaki is the unlucky guy of Murakami's crew, he was busy all day yesterday, and he finally finished the preparation for the location shooting, and he had to stand on the side of the road early in the morning and wait for the director to receive the fruits of victory.
This is not the end, when the location is straightened out, he has to run back to the studio and direct the staff left behind to straighten out the shooting of the next short drama, such as getting the set and props, directing the actors to play the scene again, practice moving or something, don't wait for the real shooting to waste time.
He finally waited for the crew convoy in the early morning mist, and hurriedly went to find Fujii Arima's location situation, saying that he had walked around again as soon as possible, and the situation was the same as yesterday, there was no change, and the shooting could be carried out normally, and then handed over Jun Nishijima, another director assistant who followed him yesterday, so that when he was not there, the director could ask someone.
Fujii Arima is more rigorous, pulling him to continue to ask for some details, and Chihara Rin also leaned over to eavesdrop - even if there is a crossing bonus, there are still some things that must be learned.
According to the script, Shingo Yoshizaki rented a small area of a small park for two hours to use, including a small mountain bag with trees, a small stone bridge, which could be enclosed for the crew to use during these two hours to film "Miho" running and rolling on the mountain, playing with jumping lattices on the bridge and sitting on the rocks and throwing sandbags.
And on this basis, it also solves the problems of electricity, fire prevention, and anti-tourists, and rents a park manager to accompany it in case there is some unnecessary trouble.
In addition, I also rented a taxi and borrowed a private house with a yard - Jun Nishijima's parents' house, they happened to live nearby, in order to support their son's work, the two old people confiscated the money, Shingo Yoshizaki has already given gifts, but when filming, it is best to ask the producer or director to thank him again.
The footage of Miho going to school was taken on the path in front of the house, and with the approval of the town self-government committee, several elementary school students on the road were cameos by the children of nearby residents, and they all gave them hardship money and gifts.
The taxi driver had a line that it was inconvenient for the actor to lead the way, so he finally decided to let the assistant director Jun Nishijima play the role temporarily.
There is a large list of bits and pieces, which is quite cumbersome, and it seems very simple to say, but the assistant director is a hard-working person, and he tossed around for a day yesterday.
After he and the director handed over, he helped direct the tracks, place low light, fill in the light, confirm the camera position and the actors' position, and wait for the natural light to be suitable and start filming immediately, but then he had to run to the studio, and go to work at that point.
Michiko also entered a state of preparation, she was a little sleepy-eyed, she was actually very tired after filming all day yesterday, and she had to be picked up early in the morning, it was really hard, and she could only hold on to her smiling face - it was a bit hard for adults, let alone for an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and others had hot coffee to refresh, she could only drink hot water.
Soon, taking advantage of the sun's early rise and the hazy and dim light in the early morning of winter, the location shooting officially began, and Michiko also began to run on the hill with an anxious face.
Director Fujii Arima also turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, as if he hadn't praised her yesterday, he thought she fell fakely, unnatural, and scolded her loudly, asking her to be dedicated, and she really fell directly - he was in a hurry, it's not that he can't shoot after this time, but the lighting effect is not good, and he can't achieve the perfect effect he wants.
It took more than half an hour, and finally this set of exterior shots was finished, and the sun showed most of her face, the staff packed up their things, and prepared to move to shoot jumping lattices and throwing sandbags, Michiko was wearing a white dress, and her frozen little face was white, so she hurriedly drilled into the car and wanted to keep warm, but the makeup artist didn't spare her, and pulled her out again, and touched up her makeup - she was running in the woods, rolling and climbing, and her forehead was really red and swollen by the branches, and this had to be covered up by the makeup artist, so as not to affect the shooting of the next set of shots.
Rin Chihara pretended not to see it, and still sat behind the director, writing the script and watching it.
This kind of thing is inevitable, I heard that there was a scene where the crew used to shoot a supporting actress jumping into the river to commit suicide, but the supporting actress was afraid of water, and when it came to the end, she didn't dare, she didn't dare, she wanted a stand-in, but the director kicked the supporting actress into the river without saying a word, and then scooped it up to change her clothes and then let her jump by herself, her expression was still in place, she couldn't be afraid, she had to be decisive.
As for going to sue, whatever, do you want to be in this circle in the future?
If you have the ability, don't make this money, some people are rushing to do it......
The actors are just glamorous and beautiful on the screen, but they are very miserable behind the scenes, and before they become famous, the producers basically don't treat them as people - other countries are a little better, but this is particularly powerful, and a single "disrespectful" and "bad work attitude" are enough to cut off a little actor's star career.
Michiko is very strong, and after finishing her makeup, she acted as if she had never suffered hardship, and followed her mother with a coat, flattering the staff one by one, and giving each of them two candies during the break, smiling still cutely and extremely well-behaved.
Then the filming continues, and Arima Fujii drives everyone around like a ghost, not caring about the feelings of others at all, and not caring about the feelings of others.
After the scene on the bridge was filmed, Michiko was filmed sitting on a stone and playing with sandbag throwing, which is a key shot in the play, and Fujii Arima spent a lot of time here, and praised Michiko twice.
Immediately afterwards, he moved to the residential scene, filmed the plots such as going to school, stealing money, and taking care of "lovers" - several related actors were locked in the van for half a morning, and they were finally released, and Michiko showed excellent talent, taking care of the "lovers" without being a little green, careful and considerate, and extremely gentle, with the body of a child perfectly conveying the bitter sweetness of adult affectionate love, which is a small colorful segment, which pulls the X grid of this drama up a bit.
Seriously, this paragraph is cut out, even if it is put into a literary movie, it is not contrary to the harmony, and Rin Chihara feels that her performance is far better than the child star in the original work.
The child star played "Miho", and Michiko played "Miho" and "Grandma", and there is a huge difference.
Finally, the tense on-location shooting in the morning is over, and Arima Fujii officially hands over the master tape to Iori Murakami, and then it's time for the editor and post-production, and he has to work on the second skit again.
He loaded all the equipment and personnel into the car, and regardless of the fact that it was past lunchtime, he went back to the studio, kicked out the assistant director Yoshisaki, and told him to run the next set of chores before ordering a bento box.
Mei Qianzi didn't come back, her role has been completed, she has to go to school in the afternoon, but she is just dealing with business, she will not aim to be admitted to a prestigious school in this situation, she is basically mixing in school, and she will go to train her acting talent after the name.
…………
Rin Chihara mixed in the studio until four o'clock in the afternoon, and saw the "Director's Wrath" for the first time, Fujii Arima felt that the actor who played the murderer in the second short drama had exaggerated acting skills, and after a continuous NG in one shot, he directly scolded the actor for a bloody head - Michiko's wonderful performance raised Fujii Arima's expectations for the acting skills of ordinary actors, and this change of leading actor acting skills fell several steps, and he couldn't accept it a little.
The director was angry, the atmosphere in the studio was very depressing, and everyone even clamped their legs, for fear of breaking out and attracting attention, Chihara Rin didn't care about this, and after packing up his things, he was ready to go back to the crew headquarters to "place" his big disciple, but as soon as he got out of the studio, he ran into Hitomi Konoe - young passers-by are not needed for today's shooting, and she can't get in without her.
As soon as Hitomi Konoe saw him, he bowed deeply: "Chihara-sensei, thank you so much." ”
Rin Chihara understood and asked with a smile, "Miss Murakami has already contacted you?"
Let's not talk about anything else, Iori Murakami's thick-shouldered white bone spirit is really efficient, and he is a bit powerful in words and deeds.
Konoe Hitomi has a faint fishy smell on his body, and it is estimated that he didn't get mixed with the lack of passers-by today, so he went back to the fish stall directly, and said happily at this time: "Yes, Murakami-san said that Mr. Chihara spent a lot of favor to find me a job and gave me the opportunity to study, I specially waited for you here, I want to say thank you...... That, when I get my first month's salary, I will definitely buy another gift to officially thank you. ”
"That's not in a hurry, let's talk about it when you're financially well-off!" Chihara Rin patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Next, it's up to you, for your goal, work hard!"
The path you picked is definitely epic, I hope you can do well, I can only help you get here.
"Yes, I will definitely succeed in showing Chihara-sensei!" Hitomi Konoe was very confident, thanked him for a few more words, and went to the direction of the radio station, where there was a shortage of manpower, and she had to drill pipelines today - she was not an engineer, not a maintenance base station instrument, and her main job was to clean up all kinds of pipes in the base station, and she had to deal with rats and cockroaches.
Chihara Rin also walked to the annex of the production bureau, and felt that this world was really inexplicable - if you have talent and conditions, you don't want to do it, you want to be a dry girl, you don't have talent and no conditions, and you don't regret it.
Human beings are really a bit amazing!
