Chapter 49: The First Electrocution
"Ah Chun, the ratings of the third episode of the program broadcast last night exceeded 3.0%, I'm so happy!"
"It's only 3%, don't be so excited, right?"
Jun Watanabe was a little speechless, and Haruka Shimazaki actually called him specifically for this matter.
"It's only 3%, don't you know that a late-night variety show has this rating?"
It's not surprising that Haruka Shimazaki feels this way, in 2011, when AKB48 was at its peak, there were late-night variety shows with AKB48 members participating, and the ratings casually broke 3, but now it is good to be stable above 2.
Even the virtual red girl group Nogizaka 46 on the opposite side, the ratings of "In the Fortifications of Nogizaka" only hovered around 1.5%.
Jun Watanabe's joining, the fan group went from 1.5% in the first phase to 3% in the third phase, especially in Jun Watanabe's final singing session, and the instant ratings reached about 5%.
The forum messages on the official website of the show all said that this little brother is handsome and beautiful, and most of them are female audiences, hoping to see more of this little brother's performance, which made the deputy PD Akai cry and laugh.
It's obviously just a show that introduces the part-time brother, but now it's Jun's solo show.
Originally, there was only one sponsor of the show, which was the previous part-time job recruitment website, and now there are also many sponsors coming to the door, hoping to sponsor this late-night variety show.
"After some discussion between the program team and the producer, Mr. Akimoto, we have selected Itoen, a beverage manufacturing company, as the new sponsor, which means that our production funds are more sufficient, and the announcement fee will be increased somewhat. ”
"Well, that's something to celebrate. Juni Watanabe thought it was no wonder that the show's producer, Yasu Akimoto, made himself a resident guest.
"I know you're over there in Nagasaki, when will you call me back, I'll treat you to dinner. By the way, how was the film? I wasn't trained by the director, did I?
"Your heart is too bad, right, you just want to see me make a fool of yourself?"
"Do you have time to send me a few photos of the scene, but you don't update them on Twitter?"
"You haven't changed more than a few times a week, have you?"
"You want to care?"
......
The two have followed each other's Twitter before, Haruka Shimazaki has around 500,000 Twitter followers, and Mayu Watanabe's Twitter has just opened at his suggestion, and it is currently less than 200,000 followers.
As for Jun Watanabe himself, he has no more than 10,000 followers, and although his agent advises him to update it every day, he basically doesn't move.
"Takeda?" he turned to look at his assistant behind him, Takeda Hualian.
"I'll give you the Twitter account so I can update it when I have time, take some photos and upload them. ”
"Okay. ”
As he spoke, Jun Watanabe passed her the password of his Twitter account on line.
He wanted to open Weibo, but the ghosts of the Heavenly Empire only knew him, and Angelababy's Weibo fans exceeded 80 million, which is really enviable.
Up the hillside covered with green vegetation, children with wildflowers play and goats eat leisurely on the hillside.
Director Higuchi beckoned Jun Watanabe to come over and personally lecture him, and Haruma Miura stood in the crowd with a complicated complexion.
At first, he was the only protagonist of this movie, but then a teenager named Jun Watanabe came, who was said to have brought money into the group, and his face was incredible. The director and screenwriter even revised the script for him, and the single male protagonist became a double male protagonist, and he was replaced with the role of Captain Levi because of his age.
If it weren't for the fact that the captain's role was more and heavier, and there was an inexplicable emotional scene with the heroine Mikasa, he would have given up acting.
At the same time, I am also a little unconvinced, you are a newcomer, why do you come to steal my role?
He wanted to see what kind of character this newcomer was.
Haruma Miura is not the only one who has this idea, but the same crew of Hongo Sota, Miura Takadai, Matsuo Yu, Watanabe Shu, etc., although they don't say it on the surface, they actually have ideas in their hearts.
Hongo Sota has struggled for more than ten years to play a No. 2 supporting actor in this movie, and he is basically a supporting role in the TV series, and there are very few opportunities for the main service.
But Jun Watanabe, an eighteen-year-old boy, came up to take charge, do you think he can balance his heart?
As long as you are a normal person, it is impossible to balance.
The same is true for other young actors, but the neon boom entertainment industry is so cruel, and the market is so big,
There are so many artists, it's really not easy to eat together, the competition is too fierce.
The Korean entertainment industry market is smaller, but people are not so closed, whether it is an idol group or an actor, they can find a job abroad, and the flowers bloom in the wall and the fragrance outside the wall. Especially in the Celestial Empire market, Korean dramas and idol groups have a large fan base, so they frequently go over to make money.
Zhang Nara was even more ashamed to say that if she had no money, she would go to the Celestial Empire to perform.
Most Korean artists basically regard the Celestial Empire as a fool and come quickly.
Jun Watanabe stands on the cannonball made by the prop team, which is a huge dud that also plays a role at the end of the movie.
Director Higuchi pointed his fingers below, "Later, you put one hand in your trouser pocket and look up at the sky at a 45° angle, understand?"
"Hi. Watanabe Jun nodded, who wouldn't pretend to be forced, I've read too many online novels, don't be too familiar with the routine of pretending to be forced to slap your face.
The first scene is to show the protagonist's compassionate mind and melancholy temperament, and sure enough, as the protagonist, this treatment is different, look at Hongo Sota, the first appearance scene is in the messy bazaar, and interact with the group performance, as an introduction, deriving the appearance of the heroine Mikasa.
In such a commercial special effects blockbuster with a third-rate plot, the existence of supporting roles is only to set off the glamour of the protagonist, whether it is the director or the screenwriter, there is no intention to portray the characters at all.
Even the protagonists are so face-painted, not to mention the supporting roles, one by one, they are sadly photographed red by giants in the camera, and end their lives in the film as a gimmick to stimulate the eyeballs.
In order to highlight the difference in the protagonists, Jun Watanabe's appearance method is a single shot, close-up and long-range shots, and the front, side and back angles are shot in turn.
"Ready, 3, 2, 1, go!"
The crane camera goes from far to near, from bottom to top.
Jun Watanabe faced the cool sea breeze, the clothes on his body were blown to the ground, looking up at the sky at a 45° angle, imagining a passage that Guo Jingming once described——— accustomed to a person standing under the sky, accustomed to a person slightly raising his head when he is lonely or bored, looking up at the sky at a forty-five angle, accustomed to a person looking at the sky that is so vast that it can contain everything, silently waiting for tears to fall from his eyelids.
His melancholy eyes, his contemplative expression, blended perfectly into the wilderness, in the sea breeze.
"Cut, it's over, Ah Chun is doing well!"
Director Higuchi stood by the camera, looking at Jun Watanabe with some incredulity, the previous audition gave him a strong impression, it can be called a disaster acting, how can this be? This young man has a good expression!
Moreover, he is so photogenic, he is simply a man born for the camera.
"It's so handsome!" Satomi Ishihara, who was watching the play on the side, sighed, "Good acting skills?"
She looked at Nengnian Reina, who was incredulous.
Strange, this guy is still a live player?
Haruma Miura's expression became grim, and he thought that he had probably underestimated the newcomer.
"Scene 2, 30 shots, 1st!" The shooting continued with a snap of the clapperboard.
Noeni Rena and Hongo Kanota ran up the hill and came to Jun Watanabe.
Neng Nian panted and said, "You're really here!"
Jun Watanabe put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued to pretend.
"Because no one is going to come here. The incomparably indifferent tone reveals the arrogant and independent temperament of the male protagonist.
Everyone is drunk and I am sober, and the whole world is turbid and I am alone.
This is the unusual thing about the male protagonist Allen, when others are still living in ignorance for a living, like pigs and sheep being kept in captivity to be slaughtered, life and death are at the hands of others.
He is the only one who will stand on a high place in the wind blowing from the north of the field, look up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, face the high wall that lies between heaven and earth not far away, like a cage, and think about the world behind the wall, is there a sea, there are birds singing and flowers?
If people don't have dreams, then what's the difference between them and salted fish?
"It's dangerous!" Hongo reminded in a whisper.
Before the words fell, Watanabe's feet slipped, fell from a height, and fell on his back.
"Click, it fell well, it's natural, one more!"
Jun Watanabe touched his buttocks and felt a little painful, as if he had been caught by a stone, his teeth were defeated, and this drama was too careless.
He pulled out a piece of gravel from under his ass and tossed it aside, a painful expression on his face.
Hongo Sota and Noenian Reina laughed heartlessly on the side.
"Are you okay with Chrysanthemum?" Hongo Sota walked over to help him.
"It's fine. Jun Watanabe replied with a stiff expression.
