Chapter Ninety-Four: Thirty Seconds Won't Be Given to You
"Actually, when I first got the song audition, I almost bit my tongue. Even now, before every official recording, you have to do a pretty good warm-up. Sakai Izumizu held the teacup in both hands as if he was a little afraid of the cold, "But although it was a bit choking when I sang it, I actually liked this song very much, and when I first got the demo of the song, I thought that if I went for a ride, I must put this song in the car." ”
"I also like this song, although the song is also very good, but I like the lyrics more than the song. Ye Zhao said, "When I listened to it for the first time, I had a sense of resonance of 'this is writing about me', Sister Quanshui is really a master of lyrics." ”
Sakai Izumi smiled a little shyly, "It's too much of a compliment, I just put what I wanted to convey into the lyrics." Of course, it's really nice to hear you say that it resonates. ”
"THEN AGAIN, FIELD OF VIEW-SAN'S NEW SINGLE IS WRITTEN BY SISTER QUANSUI, RIGHT? I ALSO PROVIDED LYRICS FOR DEEN-SAN BEFORE," YE ZHAO LOOKED AT SAKAI IZUMI WITH SOME ANTICIPATION, "WHEN, SISTER QUANSHUI ALSO WROTE THE LYRICS FOR MY SONG?"
IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS SINCE HER DEBUT, SAKAI SPRING WATER HAS PROVIDED LYRICS FOR SINGERS SUCH AS TERESA TENG, DEEN, AND FIELD OF VIEW, BUT IT IS THE COMPANY THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THESE COOPERATIONS, NOT FOR HER PERSONAL INVITATION, LET ALONE A FACE-TO-FACE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD INVITATION LIKE YE ZHAO.
"Do you want to provide the lyrics for Ye Jun's songs?" asked Sakai Izumi, as if confirmed.
Ye Zhao nodded, "This is a sincere plea from the juniors. ”
Some exaggerated words amused Sakai Izumi, "That's definitely intentional, right?"
"Anyway, what does Sister Quanshui think?"
"The juniors are so 'sincerely pleading', of course there is no problem. Sakai Izumizu agreed, and half-jokingly said, "But if I write the lyrics, you'll have to take one less royalty." ”
At this time, if you say something like "Sister Quanshui's lyrics are hard to find, let alone a royalty", it is so cheesy and flattering that people want to vomit. Therefore, Ye Zhao deliberately followed her words and said, "Yes." Otherwise, when Sister Quanshui releases a new song next time, she will also consider using my tune, so that it will be smoothed out?"
"What a shrewdness, Ye Jun. Sakai Izumi sneered kindly.
"I'll take it as a compliment. Ye Zhao looked at her with a smile, "There are still many places to spend money in the future, and if you don't start saving from now, you will definitely not take advantage of it." ”
Sakai Izumi was a little curious, "What are the places that need to spend money?"
"Well, not to mention all kinds of food, clothing, housing, transportation, hobbies, and tossing some plans and the like, it must cost a lot of money. I'm sure I'm going to get married in the future, so I want to buy land and build a house before I get married, and I still live in 1LDK with a monthly rent of 250,000 yen. After getting married, you have to work hard to earn milk powder money for your children - in case you get married to your child, then the situation is even more serious. If you give birth to a daughter, you must immediately start saving for the dowry when you get married, and if your wife still wants to have a pet, she has to consider the nutritional balance of the pet......" Ye Zhao snapped his fingers matter-of-factly.
"If I go any further, I'm leaving. ”
Ye Zhao made a gesture to zip his mouth, "I won't say it." ”
……
After all kinds of preparatory work, at the end of May, "Kaneda One Juvenile Incident Book" was finally officially launched.
The filming of the Japanese drama is basically carried out in the order in which the story occurs, so on the first day of filming, the filming is also the content of the first episode of "The Murder in the Inhuman Pavilion Village", it is said that as a guest actor in the second episode, Ye Zhao should not have appeared on the set, but early this morning, he still came to a resort manor called Quanxiang in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture, and watched the simple start-up ceremony throughout the whole process.
As for the reason, of course, it came from the invitation of director Yukihiko Tsutsumi.
The filming cycle of a Japanese drama will not exceed three months when it is full, although according to the content of about ten episodes and fifty minutes per episode, this time seems to be quite relaxed, but this "loose" does not include the director. As a director, not only do you have to control the whole process of on-site shooting, but you can't be absent from the post-editing work, so the whole workload is quite large.
This is also the reason why there is more than one director of Japanese dramas, in addition to the convenience of adjusting the director according to the ratings and other reasons, but also because if the same director is in charge of the end, it is very difficult, and it is difficult to ensure the quality of the series.
There is also an unreleased movie waiting for post-production, and for the time being, only the filming of the first and second episodes of the TV series has been booked, in order to fulfill his previous promise to Ye Zhao, Tsutsumi Yukihiko took the initiative to invite Ye Zhao to visit the set. In this way, for the first time in his life, he entered the set of a real Japanese drama.
When Ye Zhao arrived in Quanxiang, it was just getting dark, but there were already countless staff members who were busy running forward and starting to prepare. Not to mention the staff who are busy running before and after and doing chores and various group performances, there are dozens of costumers, props masters, and makeup artists alone, plus lighting, photography, and equipment, and there are almost 100 light crews on the entire set.
However, thinking about the fact that even the advertisement he shot used dozens of staff, it is normal and even a little shabby for the TV series to dispatch these people.
At the meeting, Tsutsumi Yukihiko, who was wearing a suit, also changed into the legendary director's vest when he arrived on the set, and when he saw him, Ye Zhao hurriedly took the initiative to greet him: "Tysan, I'm really sorry, I'm going to cause you trouble." ”
In addition to observing the shooting, Ye Jun can also take the opportunity to watch the performances of the actors, which will be helpful for the official filming in the future. Yukihiko Tsutsumi said.
"The TV series is very tightly stuck in the filming time, and there is a detailed schedule of what to do every day. When you go out on location like this, you have to apply to the TV station in advance, and in the shooting cycle of each episode, generally speaking, the time to go out on location cannot exceed three days, and the time for studio filming is up to two days. Between the shooting, Yukihiko Tsutsumi's assistant explained to Ye Zhao.
"So, you'll be able to make an episode in about a week?"
"Yes, but the first episode took a little bit longer because there were a lot of parts to coordinate. After the filming is completed, the post-editing will take about two days. Speaking of this, the assistant added in a lively tone, "The soundtrack provided by Ye Zhaosang is also going to play a role in the last two days. ”
"Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book" is not a big-budget TV series, which can be felt from the props on the scene and the cast of actors, but it is precisely because the budget is not so high, and the ratings pressure that the production staff has to face is not so strong, so the atmosphere on the set is relatively harmonious.
Ye Zhao also pretended to be semi-invisible throughout the whole process, observing all the details of the shooting while minimizing his presence, carefully absorbing water like a sponge, even if it was just a little bit like a droplet.
The morning shoot lasted until 12 o'clock, and after the director called it a halt, the lunch break finally began. Lunch is a uniformly ordered bento, the director team and the main actors eat a barbecue bento, and the ordinary staff eat a donburi bento.
Ye Zhao, who came to disturb him suddenly, originally planned to treat him at noon, but considering that there were older people in the crew than him, it was not polite to rashly propose a treat, so he just asked Yuki Uemura to prepare a considerable number of cookies for him as a gift the day before he came, and distributed them to the actors and crew when he first arrived on the set.
This is thanks to Uemura's rich experience and the preparation of hundreds of copies, if the number is not enough, it will not be an embarrassment of a little bit.
Ye Zhao ate with Yukihiko Tsutsumi and other crew members, and everyone didn't have the habit of not saying anything, so they chatted quite casually while eating. After eating, when Ye Zhao was asking questions about some things he saw during the shooting, Rie Tomosaka ran over energetically, and Yukihiko Tsutsumi showed a childish smile, "Tytsusan, I'm here to find Ye Zhaosan." ”
Rie Tomosaka, who has already cooperated with SP, and the crew are quite familiar with each other, and everyone is quite tolerant of letting him take Ye Zhao, who has no expression on his face but refuses in his heart.
"Tomosaka-san, what's the matter?" Ye Zhao asked after walking a short distance.
"Well," Rie Tomosaka, who was walking in front, turned around and smiled at him, "It's a bit boring during the lunch break, Tsuyoshi and I plan to play a game of catching, and Togen Saku-san will join in after hearing it, but the three of them can't play, so I'll invite Ye Zhao-san." ”
"You're not an invitation, it's a hijacking...... Ye Zhao whispered.
Rie Tomosaka put her hand to her ear, "I didn't hear anything." ”
Saku-san Higashine is talking about the actor Sakuei Toone, who played the murderer Kirito Oda in the first episode. When Akira Ha and Rie Tomosaka arrived at the school court, he and Tsuyoshi Domoto were passing the ball back and forth.
"It's so late!" said Togen Sakushouying, who was two years older than Ye Zhao, to the two.
"It's already very fast, but I don't even have thirty seconds to think about it to Ye Zhaosang. Rie Tomosaka was triumphant.
Tang Bengang was a little embarrassed, "So, was Ye Zhaosang forcibly pulled over by you?" He was still wearing the uniform of Fudo High School in the TV series, and he looked like an ordinary student at this time.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter!" said Rie Tomosaka, with her hands crossed and crossed exaggeratedly.
Donggen Sakusu Ying also helped, "Let's start quickly, if we continue to talk like this, the lunch break will be over." ”
……
There is an unwritten rule on the filming site of Japanese dramas, that is, when filming begins, the actor who plays the lead role must invite the co-actors of the crew to dinner. However, when the actor who plays the lead role is very young, this rule must be changed a little accordingly, after all, it is really rude to have a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy say to a bunch of senior actors who are more than ten or twenty years older than him, "I'll treat you today!"
In this way, after today's photo shoot was over, the actors collectively decided to have a dinner party in the way of AA system. In addition to the director and screenwriter, even Ye Zhao was also invited.
