Chapter 39: Playfulness
The night I watched the movie with Shimazaki, Jun Watanabe had insomnia.
finally fell asleep, and was woken up by a call from the agent, Gao Gong.
Unexpectedly, the time was already eight o'clock in the morning, less than half an hour from the agreed time with the crew. So he roasted two slices of toast, dipped them in some jam, fried two poached eggs, drank a box of fresh milk, and then carried the coffee-colored seven wolves crossbody bag given to him by his sister, and hurried to the Toho Co., Ltd. building.
1-chome, Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, "Attack on Titan" project work conference room.
It seemed to be late, and by the time he entered, the spacious and bright conference room was already full of people, surrounded by a long wooden table.
Needless to say, Nengnian Reina also sat in the middle, not squinting.
Can't pretend to be familiar?
Just in a daze, Gao Gong gently patted him on the back to make him sober up.
"Buckle your chrysanthemum (hello)!"
......
As he walked towards the chair with his name written on it, he bowed his head and said hello to the seniors he didn't know.
The seat is just arranged next to Nengnian.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he sat down with his butt and heard Nengnian's voice in his ears.
"Why are you so late?"
"Insomnia last night. Watanabe said weakly as he took out the script from his backpack and placed it on the table, so that he had time to pay attention to his surroundings.
Many people's eyes are gathering on him, after all, before, the crew did not have him, the actor Alan was played by Haruma Miura, but on the eve of the start of filming, he became elbows and armpits, not to mention the producer's temporary additional investment, and the script was also re-polished, the single male protagonist became a double male protagonist, and the newcomer Jun Watanabe of the burning office played the role of Alan.
On top of that, Reina Neng, who had been rumored to break with LesPros and was banned, suddenly returned at the last minute.
In fact, during this period, the crew has already sent an invitation to Kiko Mizuhara, and the other party has agreed, just waiting for the contract, but the return of Noenian made Kiko Mizuhara say goodbye to the role of Mikasa completely.
Director Higuchi and screenwriter Yusuke have been revising the script according to the selection of the male and female protagonists, and try to match the character age of the original characters.
The revised script is more faithful to the original work, at least in terms of character design, and there are not many changes in the plot, but a lot of scenes have been added to the commander.
"Insomnia?" Nengnian looked at him suspiciously, his eyes blinking, and he smiled as if he understood something.
"Did you have fun watching yesterday's movie?"
There was a mocking tone, but Jun Watanabe didn't hear it.
"The movie is not bad, although the plot is a bit bland, but the acting skills of Yui Aragaki senior really opened my eyes and benefited me a lot. ”
Watanabe Jun talks eloquently.
"I've benefited a lot? What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't go to acting class and went on a date, and I was almost late this morning, and my face was tired...... I don't know where I was last night!"
can be scolded by the year, but it can't be seen from the appearance at all.
"Ah Chun has a girlfriend, right?"
"Nani?"
Jun Watanabe looked back in some surprise, seeing a somewhat annoyed expression on her face, as if she regretted asking this question, combined with the tone of her previous speech, where did she not understand what she was thinking just now?
I didn't expect this young sister with a fresh and cute appearance to be so dark?
If you are a real person, you can't look like it.
Although he was mistaken for fooling around with a woman last night, Jun Watanabe didn't want to explain too much.
It didn't take long for the director and screenwriter to arrive.
The bearded director Higuchi looked around.
"It's all here, right? Let's start today's script seminar, because of the additional investment later, so the script has been polished again, and a new actor, that newcomer, get up and introduce yourself!"
Director Higuchi raised his hand and gestured.
Seeing that the director mentioned himself, Jun Watanabe quickly got up from the chair, bowed his head and bowed solemnly, "Please take care of me when we meet for the first time, I am Jun Watanabe, who is eighteen years old this year." ”
"Eighteen?"
"It's so young. ”
"I heard it was burning......"
......
A group of actors look at him with different eyes, some are envious, jealous, curious, and have nothing to do with themselves......
After Jun Watanabe sat down, the director picked up the mineral water on the table and drank two sips, and said in a slightly hoarse male voice:
"Let's start, I hope I can go through it from beginning to end today, the time is a little tight, this is also a helpless thing, everyone be more considerate!"
"The director is too polite. ”
"Then let's not waste time, let's get started. ”
......
"Nengnian, you come first!" said Director Higuchi, bringing the water bottle to the table, and a trail of water flowed down the bottle.
Nengnian Rena said in a complaining tone: "Are you really here?"
Simulates the environment and plot in the script.
......
Jun Watanabe looked absentmindedly at the film's other two leading actors, Haruma Miura and Satomi Ishihara, who both happened to be sitting opposite, presumably to facilitate the rehearsal of the script.
After all, there is a lot of dialogue between the main characters.
Haruma Miura has short black hair, oblique bangs, and a striking mole on his chin, and his gaze is expressionless.
Satomi Ishihara is much more friendly, with plump red lips, slightly pursed corners of her mouth, a pair of big watery eyes, and charming smiling eyes, as if she is discharging at him. He glanced at her, nodded at her a little shyly, and didn't dare to look at her anymore.
is really a beauty, pure and sweet with a hint of sexiness.
Unlike Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara is the kind of woman who thinks she's beautiful when you see her for the first time.
Bright colors.
In comparison, Aragaki Yui is much lighter.
"What are you doing?"
Just when Jun Watanabe was immersed in his own reverie and couldn't extricate himself, the neighbor Noenian poked his arm.
Watanabe Jun was confused, and with his bewildered expression, his youthful and handsome face, some people around him began to cover their mouths and snicker.
This newcomer is a bit funny.
"It's your turn!" Nengnian gritted her teeth, her fingers holding the script shrunk slightly, she has always been more introverted, she rarely shows her emotions, and she was really defeated by Jun Watanabe.
Obviously a newcomer, he doesn't understand anything, he is not modest at all, he only knows how to play, and he doesn't have a good rest at night......
I don't care about reading the script, I stared at Ishihara's seniors with an idiot, is there any shame?
She worked as a model for "Nicola" magazine at the age of 13 and starred in the short film "How to Hunt Animals" at the age of 18, but she is not as uncommon sense as Jun Watanabe.
"Oh, it's my turn. Seeing Nengnian's wide-eyed eyes, there was a rare hint of murder on his cute face, and Jun Watanabe opened the script unhurriedly and read it in order.
Regarding his scenes and lines, a red line has been drawn on the script, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find it.
"Because everybody ...... Won't come here. Watanabe Jun got stuck halfway through the reading, and he interrupted for a while before continuing to read, feeling a little weak.
Such a simple line was ruined by him.
Originally, according to the plan, I took an acting class yesterday afternoon, and I talked about the lines in the script with Nengnian, and went back in the evening to figure out the hearts of the characters, as well as the context of each line, and by the way, I was familiar with the plot of the movie.
But———
Because I went to the movies with Haruka Shimazaki, I accidentally saw Mai Shiraishi at the door of the cold drink shop on the street side of the studio after the show..... encountered some situations that he could not understand as a traverser, resulting in mental trance, panic and anxiety, and sleepless nights.
Time is tight, plans are completely disrupted, and Watanabe Jun must suffer one of the consequences of his own playfulness.
That is, in the minds of all the main creators of the crew, he has been labeled as a vase, a newcomer with no common sense.
