Chapter Eighty-Seven: Signing

When I came to the company, I found that many actors had gathered here, but Kim Do-jun didn't know any of them, so he had to sit in the reception room awkwardly, nodding to everyone from time to time, or standing up and bowing slightly and saying hello.

After a while, director Takashi Miike walked in, and he seemed to be in a good mood today, and he specially put on a cap and sunglasses, looking several years younger than the other day.

"Hello everyone, I'm Takashi Miike, today is the day when the crew and actors meet for the first time, many people probably don't know each other, everyone can get to know each other now, the script has been sent to everyone yesterday, everyone's role in the movie is known, I won't repeat it here, let's get familiar with it first!"

Director Miike said quickly, today is indeed in a hurry, and there will be a few signing ceremonies in a while, although they are all private and not announced to the public, but there are still many procedures to go.

In the past two days, all the actors and staff have to join the group, and rehearsals will start immediately, and there will be martial arts instructors coming to meet with them, and the actors will be guided and rehearsed individually, and so on, and now the progress must be accelerated.

Kim Do-joon greeted the actors one by one, and although he is Korean and does not speak Japanese fluently, basic dialogue is still okay.

As soon as Director Miike finished speaking, Kim Do-jun began to talk to the people around him.

The second actor in this movie, the king of beasts - Serizawa Tamoo, is the role of actor Takayuki Yamada.

Kim Do-joon took the initiative to communicate with him, and was surprised to learn that the protagonist Genji Takiya was actually played by a Korean, and Yamada Takayuki was surprised. But after thinking about it for a while, I was relieved.

Director Miike is a well-known genius in Japan, not only for the speed at which he makes movies, but also because his ideas are notoriously shocking, which is not at all.

So the two people directly began to communicate, talk about their respective situations, as well as some experiences or something, and deepen their understanding of each other.

After all, the male number one and male number two in this movie must need to be close to each other to shoot perfectly, and there are many rival scenes between the two people in the script, especially the group fight at the end, which is the focus of the film.

Takayuki Yamada is not very tall, about less than 1.7 meters, so he is half a cut behind Kim Do-joon, but his face is full of domineering, slightly brown hair, draped over his shoulders, and the beard on his chin is dripping out, and some of them are coming out, full of manly taste.

He would have thought that when he first debuted, Takayuki Yamada was still recognized as a girl.

Because of Takayuki Yamada in the script, he has super fighting ability and a very domineering demeanor, and he usually has a calm personality, but sometimes he will have convulsions, which is very similar to Kim Do-joon's character.

The focus of the two people is different, but it is undeniable that Takayuki Yamada is like a mountain, blocking Kim Dojun's progress, and only by defeating the king of beasts in front of him can he truly reach the top of Lily of the Valley.

This time, basically all the actors came.

Kim Do-joon, Takayuki Yamada, Yusuke Yabe, Akisa Kuroki, Kenta Kiritani, etc., all the actors met and greeted each other, and then took a group photo, and it was over.

The next thing is to sign the contract and then officially join the group, Director Miike attaches great importance to the concept of time, as long as he decides something, it will not be changed easily, and if there are actors who are not punctual, he will be very angry.

Actors who are ready can leave on their own, pack up their things, and prepare to join the group, stay here if they haven't signed a contract, and leave only after all the contracts are completed.

In this way, everyone bowed and left the company, leaving Kim Dojun and Kuroki Mingsha to stay in the company.

Originally, the role of women was not added to the movie, because this movie is completely composed of bad teenagers, and if there is an actress, it will become a burden to the movie.

For this issue, director Miike also discussed many times with the screenwriter, that is, the manga writer Mr. Takahashi, and finally decided to add female characters as several different emotional threads in the film, and at the same time to increase the charm of Genji Takiya.

This man is not only a symbol of domineering, he always wants to climb the highest peak, sometimes he is also a man, he also has feelings and thoughts, not a machine, not an animal, but a young man.

He will also have times of excessive adrenaline, and he will also do some impulsive and irrational things, but isn't this just growth!

"Hello." Kim Do-jun nodded cautiously and said hello, and Akira Kuroki, who was sitting opposite, also looked at him with an embarrassed expression.

After the two of them finished talking, they didn't know what to talk about, so they could only play with their mobile phones, Li Yongzhe and Han Sung-mi were still outside, and all the actors basically left before they walked in.

"Daojun, how is it, when are we leaving?"

Li Yongzhe looked a little bored, and asked as soon as he came in.

"What's the matter, Brother Yongzhe, I'm tired of it for so long, I just said hello to the actors, Director Miike went to prepare the contract, let's wait here."

Kim Do-jun said with a smile, Brother Yongzhe is really impatient.

"Alright then, just sit down and wait."

After saying that, he pulled the stool and sat down, Kim Dojun looked at Li Yongzhe like this, smiled and said.

"Brother Yongzhe, this is in Japan, pay attention to whether the image is good, you are also the company's agent, this sitting posture is too unsightly."

Li Yongzhe was originally an informal, rugged and arrogant person, there was no taboo, sitting on a stool, and his legs were directly crossed on the table.

"Oh! Sorry, forgot, a bit casual. After speaking, Li Yongzhe was embarrassed and touched his nose.

"Excuse me, are you Korean?"

At this time, Kuroki Misa asked in a low voice, and he had been staring at the three people in front of him just now, and he thought it was Japanese? When I heard their conversation, I realized that it was not Japanese, and it looked a bit like Korean.

"Well, yes, my name is Kim Do-joon, first time we met, please take care of me." After speaking, he stood up and shook hands across the table, and when he greeted all the actors just now, he bowed first and then shook hands, but when he saw the actress in front of him, he was not embarrassed to take the initiative to reach out his hand, so he could only bow slightly and nodded, signaling his greetings, but he didn't expect to shake hands in the end.

"My name is Kuroki Akisa, please take care of me."

As he spoke, he still had a sweet smile, and his raised cheekbones looked unusually three-dimensional, like a natural model.

Kuroki Masa is very tall among Japanese actresses, about 1.65 meters tall, wearing high heels, showing a perfect figure.

The legs are very long and thin, with today's dark jeans, they look slender and straight, and they wear a white T-shirt on their upper body, outlining the full double peaks, and their brown shawl long hair hangs down softly to the side.

Kim Dojun looked at Kuroki Mingsa, she was indeed very beautiful, a bit like a kitten, full of wildness, looking at the complexion, it shouldn't be a traditional Japanese, it should be a mixed race!

After thinking about it, I still didn't ask it, and it was not good to ask such a question when we met for the first time, so let's ask it again when I have the opportunity to get closer in the future.

After a while, Director Miike walked in with the contract, and Kim Do-joon took the contract and read the terms carefully.

After reading it, I found that not only are there many long terms, but also a lot of professional legal knowledge, professional terminology and so on.

There is no way but to hand it over to Han Chengmei in the end, let her read it to herself while translating, and write down what precautions to note while thinking about it herself.

At this time, Lee Yong-cheol did what an agent should do, all the contracts were photographed and registered, and then the notes were sent back to South Korea in the evening to be audited by a specialized law firm.

Specifically, the contract indicates the time of filming, and how long it will be.

Some aspects to pay attention to, such as safety, insurance, breach of contract, obligations, publicity, etc., these are the most basic, and there are many other aspects, of course, the most important is the salary, which is the most important performance to measure the value of an actor.

Because this film is operated by an independent producer, and the investor is not a very large company, and director Miike is also a friendly director, the budget is not particularly large.

The salary of the whole movie is only 10 million Japanese, which is equivalent to about 100 million won, although it is not a lot, and it may not even be the price of a TV episode of a big-name actor.

However, fortunately, the investor fully estimated the treatment of the cast and crew, and set up a box office share reward, if the estimated box office is 1 billion yen, Kim Do-joon's share reward will exceed 20 million yen, and if it exceeds 2 billion yen, it will be increased to 50 million yen.

The producer did this, firstly, to increase the enthusiasm of the actors and crew, to devote all their energy to the film, and on the other hand, to encourage and support the director's creation in disguise, only when everyone works together can a good movie be made.

However, Kim Do-joon didn't care about this, he was a newcomer, and he was not qualified to ask for more remuneration at all.

Besides, this movie is his debut, and only when it is filmed well and successfully filmed will it be worthy of Director Miike's expectations of himself. This movie uses himself as the leading actor, and director Miike must also be under tremendous pressure, screenwriters, producers, work team, etc., everyone will stare at themselves with suspicion, how can a newcomer who has not even had acting experience win the trust of director Miike and get this role.

What is so brilliant about being able to ask a Korean to be the protagonist in a Japanese movie, etc., these invisible pressures have begun to be transferred to Kim Do-jun's shoulders from the moment the contract was signed, and now it seems that the burden on Kim Do-joon's shoulders is not light!

After signing the contract, Kim Do-jun and his entourage took a group photo with director Miike.

September 10th
