Chapter 109: The Power of Restlessness

Hearing Ye Zhao's words, Tsutsumi Yukihiko's expression was much kinder, "It's really rare to be in awe of movies, even if you are a practitioner in this field, many people have forgotten about it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the script in Ye Zhao's hand, opened the cover, and read out the title in a low voice, "I heard that Tongdao is going to retire...... Hmm, youth films?"

"It's a story set in high school. ”

Yukihiko Tsutsumi nodded, his interest decreased slightly, he was not interested in youth campus films. Even so, he calmed down and looked at it. After only turning two pages, Yukihiko Tsutsumi was surprised: "It's actually a group drama? ”

The so-called group drama refers to the fact that in a movie, each character plays has its own characteristics, and a number of performers with different characteristics work together to form a multi-threaded, panoramic story, rather than a single clue to express the plot.

As the clues become more complex and the characters are numerous, the difficulty in setting up the script, shooting, and post-editing also increases, and if you are not careful, it can turn into a pretty bad situation. In the same way, if it can be filmed well, it will become a classic that people talk about.

But for a person who is new to movies, he started a group drama all of a sudden, which is quite a bit of a taste of trying to run before he can leave. Tsutsumi Yukihiko's "bold" statement is also polite enough, and he has a poisonous tongue, so I'm afraid that he will have to directly say "It's too self-conscious, right?"

"I heard that Kirishima is going to quit the club" is about a county high school located in a small country town, after school on the same Friday, the students of each club are doing their own activities as usual, and everything that should be carried out calmly is broken because of the school's influential figure, the head of the volleyball department, Kirishima, suddenly proposed to quit the club.

Ryoya Maeda, the head of the film department, who has no sense of existence, Aya Sawashima, the head of the wind band department, who silently watches the boys in the front seat, Kasumi Higashihara and Minoru Miyabe of the badminton club, Kasuke Koizumi of the volleyball club, Hiroki Kikuchi of the baseball club, and the homecoming club, who does not participate in any clubs, all form a hierarchical and pyramid-like campus society.

Kirishima, who is a first-class student in all aspects of school, personality, and sports, is undoubtedly the man at the top of the spire in this school, while Ryoya Maeda, the head of the film department, who is at the bottom of the pyramid and suffers from the neglect of his surroundings.

After Kirishima announced his retirement and disappearance, the people who originally thought Kirishima was the head of the horse suddenly lost their center, and the originally hierarchical campus society underwent great changes, whether it was a person close to Kirishima, a member who relied on Kirishima, or Maeda, who was silently at the bottom of the small society, without exception, was involved in this turmoil of retreat.

These people seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are related to each other, and Kirishima's retreat is like the first domino to fall, guiding the situation in a direction that spirals out of control.

The interesting thing about this movie is that this is not a traditional youth film, there is no sweaty blood, no touching love, no inspiring chicken soup, some are just seemingly ordinary daily life, it does not have an absolute protagonist, but in the form of a group drama, many times from the perspective of different characters to describe the Friday at the beginning of the story, thousands of clues gradually converged into a line, and finally ushered in ** and outburst, expressing the absurdity and cruelty of youth.

Yukihiko Tsutsumi first quickly flipped through a few pages of the script, realizing that this was not the youthful and ignorant and invincible campus movie he imagined, and his expression changed from casual and comfortable to serious. Ye Zhao drank the sake silently, holding the peas on the plate, without urging at all.

At this time, Tsutsumi Yukihiko closed the script and asked, "Ye Jun, if you don't mind, can you let me take the script back and read it slowly?" ”

"Absolutely. Ye Zhao nodded, "Actually, the reason why I want to show the script to Tysang is that I hope to get some opinions from Tysang." I know very few people in the film industry, and the most familiar one is Tysang. ”

"It's scary to say that. Tsutsumi Yukihiko smiled, put the script on the tatami mat, and said: "Having said that, Ye Jun is really interesting, other people who step into the film and television industry, most of them want to be actors, with the goal of starring in TV series and winning acting awards, but Ye Jun is so interested in things behind the scenes." It's not that I said, being behind the scenes is not as glamorous as an actor, and there are a lot of troubles. ”

"That's the way it is," Ye Zhao poured a full bottle of wine for Yukihiko Tsutsumi, "but although it's a bit rude to say it, isn't the brilliance of the person in front of the curtain given by the person behind the scenes?"

Tsutsumi Yukihiko snorted, "Ye Jun's ambition is not small. ”

"It's not so much ambition as uneasiness, right?" Ye Zhao thought for a while, "If fate is not in your own hands, you will have a sense of uneasiness that is controlled by others. ”

……

After the selection of the male and female protagonists of the radio drama "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" was released, they received audition tapes from all over the Kanto area.

The 100,000 yen bonus and paid work motivate the teenagers and girls, after all, on weekdays, an ordinary teenager between the ages of 15 and 17 can only earn about 800 yen an hour if they go out to work part-time, and although the work of a radio drama cannot be as glamorous in front of the camera as an artist, it is definitely a good job as an extracurricular activity.

The Japanese are quite famous for their "voice-controlled" attributes, and their subtle personality makes them very keen on the mysterious feeling of "only hearing their voices, not seeing their people", in addition to the developed animation industry, this pursuit of sound may also be one of the reasons why they have probably the most mature voice actor industry in the world.

But having said that, after all, it's just a low-cost radio drama, and although there is a bonus, it is not to the extent that the wealth is moving, so I want to see that kind of overwhelming snowflakes of application books...... That's impossible.

In the afternoon, when he came to the office, Ye Zhao casually asked Takeda Jun, "How many copies of the audio tapes for the radio drama selection have you received?"

"Now there are about 1,400 servings. Takeda replied, "I expect to receive about 2,300 to 2,500 by the deadline of July 20." ”

Ye Zhao nodded, "It's okay, although it's not very good, but this number is not bad." When the selection deadline is over, when the screening is carried out, I will ask Takeda-san to help ask the dubbing troupe over there for help from Cultural Broadcasting. ”

"This is natural. Takeda Junying came down and asked one more question: "What about the interview?"

"Of course, I did it myself. Ye Zhao said.

……

The curtain connecting the recording room to the control room was tightly pulled up as Ye Zhao had said before, but standing in front of the console, the person who was wearing monitoring headphones for him was not only his recording engineer, but also Sakai Spring. Ye Zhao, who is completely ignorant of all this, is recording new singles over and over again with an all-out mentality.

It wasn't until the recording engineer conveyed to him the instruction to "take a break for a while" through the microphone connected to the recording room, Ye Zhao took off his headphones and walked out of the recording room while frowning and drinking the honey water he hated the most.

"Sister Quanshui, good evening. Ye Zhao didn't have a surprised expression on his face, but greeted her quite casually, obviously accustomed to her visit.

Sakai Spring took off the headphones and put them aside, walked into the reception room very naturally, took out the cup from the disinfection cabinet, poured a glass of white water and handed it to him, "The performance just now was quite good." ”

"Thank you. Ye Zhao took it and rinsed his mouth gently. After hanging out with each other a lot, Sakai Izumii already knew his habit of hating honey.

"It's the first time Sister Quanshui has listened to this song just now, how does it feel?" Ye Zhao asked.

"I won't comment on the part of the song, but the lyrics are really interesting. It's a little romantic, it's also a little childish. Sakai Izumisui slowly said his feelings.

Ye Zhao just recorded the C/song of the upcoming new single "Singer's Love Song", a song called "Drifter" by a band named Kirinji formed around the two brothers and included in their album released in 2001.

The fact that the band Kirinji are somewhat obscure and don't have any great sales doesn't mean that their songs are bad, on the contrary, they have produced a lot of high-quality songs, but they haven't really caught on.

"Childish? Seems to be a little bit. Ye Zhao thought for a while, "Under normal circumstances, no one would compare loneliness to an annoying crow and swear at the water in the bottle, right?"

"But I love swearing to the water in the bottle, and I like it the most of all the lyrics. "Sakai Spring Waterway," a place with a sense of life, has a very sincere feeling. ”

"That's right," Ye Zhao nodded, "In short, an oath that is too serious will feel too deliberate, which is embarrassing." If love is too heavy, it will become a shackle. ”

"That's an old-fashioned tone. Sakai Spring teased.

"Even if you haven't planted an apple tree, at least you've eaten a lot of apples. Speaking of apples, Ye Zhao asked casually, "Does Sister Quanshui know the song "Lin Yi Murder Incident"?"

"Is it a chorus of Mi-san Gohiro and Kirin-san?"

"Yes, that's it. Ye Zhao said, "Didn't that song say 'Adam and Eve wouldn't be heterosexual if they didn't eat that bite of apple', this single just includes two pure love songs, so I thought, just take the apple that has been bitten as the cover of the single." "A bitten apple...... Ye Zhao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and remembered a company that would soar to 90,000 miles in the future, but was still pitiful and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Sakai Izumi couldn't know what he was thinking now, and continued to follow his topic: "Actually, I think this idea is quite good, and it fits the theme of the love song very well. ”

"But if he does, President Nagato will be the first to object. Ye Zhao smiled bitterly and withdrew his thoughts from a certain company, "Anyway, it's too casual to use this as a cover." ”

"Ye Jun can consider using oil painting to make the cover. Although Ye Zhao was just joking, Sakai Izumi seriously came up with an idea, "If you shoot the bitten apple directly, it may make some people feel uncomfortable, but if you use the way of painting, it will be fine." ”

"Good idea," Ye Zhao's eyes lit up, "I will refer to this opinion, thank you Sister Quanshui." ”
