As the saying goes, three years of apples and five years of pears.

Although it is easy to go to the market and buy an apple and a pear, it is much more troublesome to plant a fruit tree. It is necessary to choose the soil and the seedling, cultivate it from the seedling stage, and take care of it, even if it finally succeeds in flowering and fruiting, it is not known whether the fruit is sweet or sour. The whole process can be said to be extremely long and tedious, and it is also accompanied by risks.

Ye Zhao feels that making a movie is similar to planting this fruit tree. Writing a script is like buying a sapling, contacting the studio and the location is choosing the right soil, and Yukihiko Tsutsumi and the technicians are the planting consultants, waiting for "this fruit tree" to blossom and bear fruit, and finally sending it to the shelves of convenience stores and fruit and vegetable stores through the sales channel of the film distribution company.

The original film "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" was filmed at Kochi City Central High School in Shikoku, but if you get from Tokyo to Kochi City, it takes an hour and a half by plane, nearly nine hours by train, and you have to go through a transfer in between, and if you take a night bus, then it is a terrible eleven and a half hours.

Not only is the time required in between, but the round-trip fare is also a huge expense, with even the cheapest night bus costing 12,500 yen for a one-way ticket. Considering the transportation and horse expenses required for the actors and crew to go back and forth, Ye Zhao decisively chose to give up his plan to get closer to the original work, and honestly contacted the school around the Tokyo area and the central region.

"In short, it's better to be a country school, it's better to be in tatters, colleges and universities will start summer vacation one after another from the 20th, and I hope that the other party can lend the school to our crew for a month-long intensive training...... Of course, it's not about living there for the whole month. Classrooms, club rooms, playgrounds and rooftops, I hope that the facilities in the school can be provided for us to use, and it would be better if the students could come and help with the group performance, in short, so many conditions. If it's hard to find a place nearby, you can also consider the central region. Ye Zhao conveyed his request to Jun Takeda, and he was responsible for contacting the right school.

This is no small task. It's easy to find a school to go on location, and with so many dramas and movies being filmed every year, school locations are essential, and there are almost all schools in Tokyo that exist exclusively for filming.

However, it is not easy to find a school that allows the crew to train for a month, the facilities are dilapidated, and the students can be asked to help as group performers. Jun Takeda took over the task, took the two newly recruited staff members after the office was upgraded, and asked around.

Ye Zhao, who stayed, did not want to be a shopkeeper, but there was another difficult task waiting for him, that is, to organize an audition for the main actors.

The stage of the movie "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" takes place in high school, and it is based on club activities, so except for a few teachers who serve as the main set, the other characters are all high school students. Therefore, in the selection of actors, the goals are very clear for teenagers and girls who are seventeen or eighteen years old and no more than twenty years old, as for the teacher's actors, as long as they are selected from the senior tricks that often appear in TV dramas.

Of course, if the actor's image is appropriate, it is okay to relax the age appropriately, after all, in the original movie, Masada Toide, who played Hiroki Kikuchi, was twenty-four years old at the time.

The "Kirishima" in the title of "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" is like waiting for Godot in Godot, although everyone is looking for Kirishima, but it never appears.

As for the other characters, the more important ones are Ryo Maeda, the head of the waste wood film in the eyes of everyone, Hiroki Kikuchi, a member of the baseball club and the rich and handsome man who has the best relationship with Kirishima, Kasumi Higashihara, a member of the badminton club who is quietly followed by Ryo Maeda, Miyabe Miyabe, Kasumi Miyabe, who is always waiting for Kirishima's girlfriend Risa, Sana, who is always sticking to her boyfriend Hiroki Kikuchi but can only get a salty and indifferent response, and Akira Sawashima, the minister of wind music who always silently pays attention to Hiroki Kikuchi.

Although at first glance, the protagonist of the movie should be Ryo Maeda, because most of the plot is presented to the audience through his eyes, and even the only sentence in the whole movie with the color of a youth film, "Fight, this is our world." Because we have to live in this world. It was he who said it.

But Ye Zhao feels that the real protagonist of this movie is Hiroki Kikuchi. He has a good relationship with Kirishima and is in the same cram school, and he is the person who was most affected in the turmoil of Kirishima's retreat, and the focus of his life revolves around Kirishima, and he is used to following Kirishima behind, and after Kirishima disappears, the empty nature of life is immediately reflected.

Ryo Maeda is more like an ideal character in youth films, although he is a waste wood in the eyes of everyone, but he has valuable qualities that no one else can have, no matter what the outside world is, he always pursues his dreams at his own pace. The character of Hiroki Kikuchi is the projection of absurd youth in the whole story, so when he was praised by Ryoya Maeda for being "really handsome", Hiroki Kikuchi shed tears, because everything he has is just such an empty shell.

In terms of the selection of Maeda Ryoya, the best candidate in Tsutsumi's heart is definitely Tsuyoshi Domoto, even if Ye Zhao has a word first, he does not plan to let a shiny popular idol play the role of waste wood.

Ye Zhao's point of view, Tsutsumi Yukihiko is a little disapproving, in the final analysis, it is difficult for the actor's image and the role he plays to fully match. Gu Tianle is mediocre in appearance, really not joking? Would you believe that Kyoko Fukada has no boyfriend, no job, and no savings? How can Yui Aragaki not be needed, and how can the old driver Gen Hoshino be an older brother?

However, if you really find an older junior brother who is mediocre-looking, not needed, has no object, no job, and no savings to act, it will really be a disaster.

But after all, Yukihiko Tsutsumi still knows that it is unrealistic to ask for Tsudo Motoyoshi.

Although he is only a JR in name, he has already starred in a TV series alone, held a concert at the Budokan Hall, appeared on MS before his debut, and has countless fans and fans. 2k reading web
