Chapter 46: Painstaking Efforts

"Sister Nengnian, why did you want to act in this movie in the first place?"

"What about you?"

"Shall I ask the question first?"

"One likes this comic, and the other is an action movie actor, what's the doubt about this, you can't keep letting me play an innocent and romantic girl, right?"

Nengnian Rena turned her head to look at him curiously, "What about you? I also like the comic "Attack on Titan", are you a fan?"

Jun Watanabe shook his head, "I don't like to read, I prefer animation, and the animation of "Attack on Titanβ€”β€”β€”" is amazing!

He looked left and right, but no one noticed this, and then he whispered:

"Isn't the script of this movie too bad?"

"You found out too, huh?"

The two looked at each other and snickered like thieves.

1-chome, Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, a studio in the Toho Co., Ltd. building.

The four leading actors of "Attack on Titan", Haruma Miura, Reina Noeni, Satomi Ishihara, and Jun Watanabe have changed into costumes from the movie, and Jun Watanabe is wearing a military green Wings of Freedom Survey Corps jacket.

Haruma Miura, Reina Noen, and Satomi Ishihara are slightly better in costumes, and they look a lot cooler with a black cloak over the dirty army-green corps jacket.

This crew is really economical enough.

Han Ji, played by Satomi Ishihara, is the leader of the Survey Corps and the first science madman of the Survey Corps, with a ponytail, wearing a pair of glasses with strange shapes, the messy bangs cover her charming smiling eyes, and the heavy black cloak completely exposes her height disadvantage.

If she is seen by a stranger, she will definitely not be recognized at first sight, because this costume covers up all the advantages of Satomi Ishihara, but instead reveals the shortcomings to the fullest.

Satomi Ishihara shook in the mirror, feeling a little unaccustomed, and she frowned.

"Can you remove these glasses?" she asked the costume director, the glasses were a burden, completely obscuring her beauty.

"It's a costume and styling based on the original manga, and you can't easily discard it. The costume director looked serious, which made Ishihara a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Ishihara was about to retreat, Watanabe Jun said:

"These glasses are really ugly, Ishihara's smiling eyes are so beautiful, if you don't show them, isn't it too wasteful?"

The costume director, a man in his thirties, glanced at Jun Watanabe in annoyance, picked up his mobile phone and called the director, and not long after, director Higuchi also came.

"Any questions?"

"Junsan Watanabe thinks Ishihara's glasses are problematic, what about the director's opinion?" the costume director complained with some dissatisfaction, "It's still necessary to respect the original, right?"

The director looked at Jun Watanabe with a frown, and then looked at Satomi Ishihara.

"Ishihara-san, what do you think?"

"Change your glasses, or don't wear them at all, and I wish my boots were a little taller. ”

"Me too. Nengnian Rena raised her hand in agreement.

Director Higuchi carefully observed Satomi Ishihara's appearance, and then frowned:

"Take off the glasses, Ishihara-san's face is too small, a pair of glasses blocks the eyes and face, and the effect in the lens will not be very good, as for the height of the heel, it is indeed a problem, how tall is Miura-san?"

"178 cm. ”

"Where's Chun?"

"187 cm. ”

"It's really tall, if Ah Chun goes to be a model, he should have a lot of development prospects, he has height and good looks, and he can ......be a graphic and fashion model," the director muttered to himself, and then casually instructed the director of the clothing department, "Just follow their requirements, the boys' height is too high, and the girls had better balance it, you can do it?"

The costume director had to nod helplessly, but it was just a matter of changing a few pairs of heightened boots, which was not a difficult task.

Not long after, several new pairs of heightened boots were delivered to the front, and Nengnian and Ishihara picked a pair, and sure enough, the effect looked much better, and the figures of the two girls looked much more slender.

After Satomi Ishihara threw away that awkward pair of glasses, the brilliance of the whole person radiated from the inside out.

"Aligado!" Ishihara thanked Jun Watanabe, who would have flinched if he hadn't helped speak.

Because I don't think it's good-looking, I ask to change my outfit, and this attitude is like playing a big name in the eyes of others.

So some requirements are not easy to mention, after all, we must respect the original character modeling.

But Jun Watanabe disagreed, the costume director has the opinion of the costume director, but it is too nonsense to respect the original signboard. In addition to the shell and structure of this movie, which is related to "Attack on Titan", the plot has long been changed beyond recognition, and the third-rate bloody plot, if the special effects can't be effective, then it can only rely on the personal charm and appearance of several protagonists to support the box office.

Speaking of which, Watanabe Entertainment's investment also solved the urgent need of director Higuchi, and more funds could be used for computer special effects production.

In this way, Mikasa's starring Reina Nengnian returns and has more funds on special effects, even if the script is a little flawed, there is still no problem in making an excellent commercial special effects blockbuster.

After this episode, the makeup photo was successfully taken within an hour, and what made Watanabe Jun a little funny was that in order to make up for his height disadvantage, Haruma Miura secretly asked the clothing group for height-increasing boots.

After finishing the shooting of the makeup photo, Jun Watanabe received a message from her sister on LINE.

"Tooth failure, our director has an accident, I'm afraid tonight's scene won't be filmed. I just received a call from my manager telling me that the evening shooting was canceled and that I was going to Fuji TV for a meeting. ”

"That's a shame. Jun Watanabe smiled secretly, it seemed that the Ueshirt Tiger did not disappoint him.

"What should I do?"

"Wait, there will definitely be a change of director. Jun Watanabe replied, and then went to the Yahoo News homepage to browse, and sure enough, in the corner, I saw the news of Fuji TV's new hot ten drama "Let's Fight! Bookstore Girl".

Director Keiichiro Shiraki was violently attacked on his way home, and it is reported that an erotic dispute was involved...... I am currently receiving treatment at Tokyo Medical University Hospital, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to work in the near future.

Fuji TV is looking for a new director for this drama to continue filming, and at present, everything is normal with director Shiraki, please don't worry, I hereby condemn the mob who maliciously beat people, and hope that the police station can return the director to a clean slate, so that the murderer will be punished as he deserves.

Seeing this news, Watanabe Jun nodded with satisfaction, the shirt tiger did a good job in this matter, and it perfectly met his requirements.

"What are you laughing at, so happy?" said Nengnian Rena also finished her own filming part.

"I saw a funny news that a director was playing unspoken rules and was beaten. ”

"It's really happy!" Nengnian Lingna sighed, because she had suffered those unfair treatments, so she hated these bad habits in the entertainment world.

Jun Watanabe put away his phone, bowed to the photographer and staff and thanked him goodbye, and left the studio.

The crew will depart tomorrow at 9 a.m. for Hashima, a small island off the coast of Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, for a month-long closed shooting.

So he decided to settle the matter on his sister Mayu Watanabe before going to Hashima.

At noon, I went to the burning office and had lunch with Uncle Shogo Shogo Zhou, and at the same time met Miki Yoshida, the president of Watanabe Entertainment, and Toru Ogi, the president of Ogi Production.

Under the coordination of Zhou Fang Shogo, Watanabe Entertainment took Watanabe Mayu under its umbrella at the cost of paying part of the liquidated damages, and since Yuki Kashiwagi was also under Watanabe Entertainment, so far, the sesame oil chicken group has come together.

President Yoshida Miki is Chinese New Year's Eve years old this year, with a white suit, short hair, a very slim figure, a concise and bright conversation, and a cousin of Jun Watanabe.

Jun Watanabe's mother has two sisters, her mother Suzuko is her younger sister, and there is an older sister who is more than ten years older, and President Miki Yoshida is the eldest daughter of her aunt.

After nearly two hours of eating, Uncle Shogo Zhou and President Toru Oki left one after another, leaving only his cousin present.

The two removed the utensils and continued to drink green tea.

Jun Watanabe did not discuss the matter of emigration with his sister, and this was the first step in his plan.

And in the second step, we already have a rough idea, but it's not yet time to implement it.

Sure enough, not long after President Toru Oki left, Jun Watanabe received a call from his sister.

"Jun, what did you do? Ogi asked me to sign the transfer contract, and the president said it was your idea, what the hell are you doing?"

"It's just a change of office, so my sister doesn't have to worry. ”

"You're such a mess!"

"Sister won't blame me, will she?"

"I know you're worried that your sister is working too hard, but β€”β€”β€”," Mayu Watanabe's tone paused, "I hope you tell me in advance about everything in the future, it will scare people to death." ”

Although Watanabe Entertainment was handed over to Miki Yoshida to manage, it was actually the property of the Watanabe family, and Mayu Watanabe moved to the past, so it was naturally much more comfortable than staying in Ogi.

Ma Youyou still appreciates this, but his younger brother is a little domineering, if he doesn't remind him, I'm afraid I don't know how much self-assertive behavior will be in the future.

"Got it, where are you now?"

"Shoot clothing commercials. ”

"What brand?"

β€œAvail。 ”

"Oh, what's going on at night?" said Watanabe Jun, who wanted to have dinner with her in the evening, and would leave Tokyo for the time being tomorrow.

"There's a performance, Akihabara Don Quixote on the eighth floor, have you been there?"

"I've been there, but does my sister still need to perform now?"

"The first theatrical performance after the release of the single "Green Flash" (Green Light), of course, the top members also have to perform, after all, they have to bring newcomers, about two or three performances a month, depending on the schedule. ”

"Got it, do you have a ticket? I'll go check it out!"

"The tickets are all drawn, remember to tell me in advance next time, I'll leave you a ticket, don't say it, it's time to shoot." ”

β€œBye!”

Jun Watanabe said as he put down his phone.

Miki Yoshida said kindly on the other side: "I didn't expect to see you here a month ago, Ah Chun really doesn't study, do you want to be an artist?"

Jun Watanabe nodded and poured her cousin a cup of hot tea.

"How the hell did you convince your uncle?"

Miki Yoshida heard from her mother about the cousin of Shun Transition, and because of his studies, he had a hard time with his family, and even ran away from home and ran to Tokyo alone.

Jun Watanabe tilted his head and thought about it, the reason why his father agreed to him to go to the entertainment world was probably because he was helpless.

In the early years, his mother had difficulty giving birth because of her health, and she relied on IVF technology to give birth to his only son in her thirties, so she doted on him very much, which caused the willfulness and rebellion of her predecessor.

"I can't talk about persuasion, but I just took a step back. ”

"Ah Chun wants to get involved in Yasuya Akimoto's girl group, is it for Mayouyou? This morning, my uncle called me and asked me to negotiate with Sony Music (SME) about taking a stake in Nogizaka 46 LLC. ”

"Sony Music is not short of money, so it shouldn't agree to our shares, right?"

Nogizaka 46 Contract Co., Ltd. was established as a joint venture between SME and AKS-affiliated "North River" company, which in turn was established by AKS and SME President Naoki Kitagawa and his son Kenji Kitagawa served as the president of the company. ”

Jun Watanabe now understands that Naoki Kitagawa, the president of Sony Music, has filled his pockets in it.

In Nogizaka 46, SME owns 75% of the shares, North River owns 5% of the shares, and Dentsu holds 10% of the shares. ”

"SME shouldn't be sold, right?"

In fact, the copyright of Nogizaka 46 records is all in the hands of "North River", and other income derived from its copyright, such as karaoke, BGM, etc., was all taken away by North River. When Nogizaka 46 was established, Akimoto Yasushi approached the old man Zhou Fang Yuxiong, but he was rejected. Yasu Akimoto wants to pull Burning into the game, because he wants to use Burning's resources in film and television dramas to further expand his influence in the entertainment industry. ”

In other words, if Watanabe Entertainment enters the game on behalf of the burning department, it will be good for Nogizaka 46. ”

"Sony Music will not fail to see this, Yasu Akimoto + Sony Music + Dentsu + burning, make up for the shortcomings and deficiencies in all aspects, if we work together, we can make Nogizaka 46 into the greatest female idol group in the history of Ni Bang. ”

"You know that's not what I want. Watanabe Jun shook his head, he suggested to his father to intervene in the operation of Nogizaka 46, not because of any intention on the group or any of its members.

"You're trying to transfer Mayu Watanabe to Nogizaka 46, right?"

"Yes, in this case, my sister will be free, and the time will be after the second consecutive championship in the June general election. ”

Jun Watanabe suddenly stood up and solemnly bowed to Miki Yoshida.

"I'll leave everything to Sister Miki. ”
