Chapter 214: A New Scandal
The next few days were lackluster, because not only the actors, but also the directors themselves were testing and pondering possible styles. In a sense, it is very difficult to shoot a story that is suitable for the language and picture table xiàn into a live-action version, especially for Japanese anime, which attaches great importance to character design and lines, will encounter more difficulties and greater resistance when adapting. Because live-action movies can't reach the level of moe in a 2-dimensional world at all.
Shen Zhenghui's previous idea was to try to be as solid as possible in the plot, so that the audience was attracted by the tense plot and paid less attention to the appearance and temperament of Her Majesty the Queen. But now it seems that it is a matter of one and two, two and one, and if Her Majesty's table is not good enough, no matter how well the story is written, it is useless. Because the story itself is for the sake of the characters, if it weren't for the Queen's Majesty, who would care that this world is full of monsters living in stones, huge snakes and gargoyles flying in the sky? So he had to try to adjust, try to adjust the actors' styling and performance status, and try to maintain the actors' acting skills while making them look beautiful enough in front of the camera.
This is a pain for stylists, because in order to cooperate with the production of this movie, Shen Zhenghui specially summoned a part of the animation cartoonists to design the anime character modeling, and then designed the movie character modeling according to the animation character modeling, which is a chore, of course, Japanese makeup artists are not afraid of such challenges, but just static modeling is enough, cosplay anyone can play. The key is for the actor to maintain this look, and at the same time, to make his manners and this look match. For a long time, the actors in the crew were not only tortured by stylists and pondering how to perform. The biggest job is to watch classic cartoons, trying to combine your own performance with the performance of the characters in the cartoon. This is simply a new topic for Gong Li and Zhang Guorong, the story is like an urban weird talk, the character setting is so strange, and this strangeness must be deliberately emphasized.
Of course, for Gong Li and Zhang Guorong, this is not a problem. may still have some problems with Zhang Guorong's experiential performance method, so sometimes he can't meet Shen Zhenghui's requirements on the table, and he has to watch cartoons repeatedly. ponder what kind of mentality this Junichiro Izumita, the actor who likes to complain, is. I have to say. This is also a pleasant thing for Zhang Guorong, who has watched more cartoons during this time than in his whole life combined.
Of course, the most stressful is always Norika Fujiwara, who plays Ryoko Yakushiji, the heroine, and she is constantly involved in various discussions during this time. When setting the look, choose the look that best suits your performance. Set your makeup with your stylist. After the director decided on the performance style, he adjusted his performance style, and more learned and interacted with Gong Li and Zhang Guorong, and worked hard to improve himself in order to keep up with the footsteps of the actor and actress. Of course. This is not something that can be achieved overnight, so every night after the movie is finished, Fujiwara Norika goes to Shen Zhenghui's room to watch the finished film of the day, and then discusses with Shen Zhenghui what to pay attention to when acting, this is almost the most serious and hard-working moment of Fujiwara Norika, many times Miyamoto is also here, and the two directors discuss much later. Sometimes Yuan Xiangren was also there, and the three of them began to discuss the effect of the lens together and make a shooting plan for the future. When necessary, the crew even took a day off for meetings, the purpose of which was to discuss how the style of filming and acting should be handled.
The pace and atmosphere of this kind of filming is a bit unbelievable for others, basically no one has been shooting like this since the 90s, and of course, there may be directors in Europe who continue to play like this. But Japan and Hong Kong have largely stopped doing so. Shen Zhenghui's approach did not attract much attention in the circle, and at most Japanese insiders complained that he was worthy of being from China and was too keen on the meeting. After spending more than a month in Japan, Gong Li and Zhang Guorong were able to simply express their ideas in unskilled Japan, which made Fujiwara Kika, who was also studying Chinese, ashamed.
In any case, the crew of "Yakushiji Ryoko Strange Incident Book" has always been the focus of attention of the Japanese people, and the focus of entertainment reporters is not at all in the crew organizing meetings to discuss filming techniques and methods. They pay more attention to celebrity gossip, such as the relationship between Zhang Guorong and Gong Li, the relationship between Gong Li and Fujiwara Norika, the relationship between Gong Li, Fujiwara Norika and director Shen Zhenghui (Sasaki), etc., and the media is more concerned about the tearing war in the crew and the scandals between the director and the actors, and between the actors and the actors.
Because this film has Gong Li and Zhang Guorong joining, the news of the crew has also attracted the attention of Hong Kong media and mainland media. But they didn't have enough people to put it in Japan, so this happened, and the news published in the Japanese tabloids was published in the gossip magazines in Hong Kong the next day, and then changed hands by mainland reporters. The special thing about 2002 is that the mainland's director Zhang honed his first blockbuster is about to be released, and the movie "Yakushiji Ryoko Strange Incident Book" joined by Gong Li is also a blockbuster by the standards of the mainland, so this brings attention - Director Zhang and Gong Li, who is more powerful, who can't do without whom.
Of course, such a discussion will not appear in the big newspapers, but will only appear in the gossip tabloids, but there is always a market for vulgarity, and some newspapers have taken pains to analyze who is more powerful, Shen Zhenghui, the director or Director Zhang-of course, this is analyzed from the perspective of commercial films, if you count art films, Director Zhang has thrown Shen Zhenghui more than ten or eight streets. But counting the box office, Director Zhang's movies may not add up to more box office than Shen Zhenghui's movie. Now that Director Zhang has also started to play commercial blockbusters, people can't help but wait and see the next showdown, and at this time, no one has found that "Yakushiji Ryoko's Strange Incident Book" is likely to not be released in the mainland at all.
The Japanese paparazzi lived up to their expectations and discovered the big event, in fact, as early as when Norika Fujiwara first went to look for Shen Zhenghui. There were paparazzi who took pictures, Fujiwara Norika was wearing a sexy outfit, crashed directly into Shen Zhenghui's room, and then stayed in it for about two hours before leaving, the paparazzi who took the photo were waiting for the price to sell, and then he continued to squat, and found that many times Fujiwara Norika, Miyamoto and others stayed in Shen Zhenghui's room for a long time, although as long as you think about it carefully, you can understand that this is probably related to the filming of the movie, but in the hands of the undisciplined tabloid reporters, these evidences are enough to create some sensational news.
Soon. There was a tabloid newspaper that paid a lot of money and published Norika Fujiwara dressed in a sexy service. A photo of Shen Zhenghui's door knocking at night. Although the photo is vague, you can probably make out what the scene is by relying on the text description. But this topic still quickly detonated the Japanese entertainment industry. Fujiwara Norika's statement that the director's unspoken rules spread far and wide, and people who were already dissatisfied with Shen Zhenghui's status in the Japanese film industry naturally began to fan the flames.
Immediately afterward, the tabloid broke more and bigger information. They didn't say it explicitly, though. But more pictures came out one after another. proves that Shen Zhenghui not only unspoken rules for women, but also for men, but also unspoken rules, although many photos have been taken. But they published a few photos that could arouse people's associations, including Gong Li going to Shen Zhenghui's room, Zhang Guorong going to Shen Zhenghui's room, and Gong Li and Zhang Guorong going to Shen Zhenghui's room together.
If the mind is clear enough, you should understand that if these photos are viewed together, it can only be inferred that the crew is still working at night. But if it is the tendency to be guided by motives and the feelings of the masses who do not know the truth, then the truth they conjecture can only develop in an outrageous direction.
Soon, the paparazzi in Hong Kong immediately followed up, and the gossip weekly unceremoniously reprinted the report, and also made a review in a thoughtful manner, counting how many unspoken rules Shen Zhenghui, the director, did. Because they can't tell the relationship between the names Shen Zhenghui, Shen Yu, and Sasaki, many readers feel a little dizzy when they read this report.
Immediately after that, the mainland newspapers followed, and the news of Shen Zhenghui's mess began to circulate in the tabloids and on the Internet, but in the eyes of the vast majority of Chinese, his scandals had a kind of laughter for the country's championship. The masses of the people on the mainland have not yet accepted the baptism of nude photos, and they do not yet have such a strong sense of gossip. And the mainstream media does not pay attention to it, so that the circulation of this kind of news is limited to a certain range.
The media in Japan and Hong Kong soon followed.
Because the crew of "Ryoko Yakushiji Strange Incident Book" announced that they would not accept interviews in order to protect the filming, the Japanese paparazzi in addition to taking photos, also tried to harass those female stars who were unsuccessful in the competition for the role of Ryoko Yakushiji, these people are well aware of the rules of the entertainment industry, and in the face of this kind of inquiry, they are either silent, or say I don't know, or talk about him left and right. When the paparazzi wanted to get the role selection, there was no inside information, and in the end they didn't get anything.
Shen Zhenghui was also a little annoyed by the spread of such news, and he asked Mitsumi Fukuda if he wanted to clarify the rumors or come forward to explain. But was stopped by Mitsumi Fukuda lightly.
Mitsumi Fukuda said, "The more you respond to them, the more energetic they become, but they will say that your response is that there is no silver three hundred taels here, anyway, everyone likes this topic, just let them continue to discuss, is it possible that they can continue to discuss?" ”
"Just do nothing?"
"Look at your mentality," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Isn't it okay for Norika Fujiwara to film under you?" People are not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”
Shen Zhenghui was indeed persuaded by this reason, since women don't care, what do they care about. But he also knows that his anger is more because this is really something that didn't happen, you must know that the last time the media arrested him and Aonuma Tomoaki news, he was silent, this is a weak heart!
"Besides, the more they make trouble, the more they can promote our films, isn't that a good thing?" Mitsumi Fukuda continued, "When the movie is released, let them go on the show and talk about the things in the crew, which can not only clarify the rumors, but also play a promotional role, which is a lot of success with one stone." If you have extra energy, just make the movie well, and don't worry about the rest. It's too much, we'll arrange for someone to come out and release the news, so you don't have to show up in person. ”
This is the case with Japan, and Hong Kong continues to be unsettled. The reporter who has no discipline actually ran to ask Guo Tianwang what he thought about this matter, because Fujiwara Norika had an affair with Guo Tianwang when he was filming "Thunder Police" before. According to reason. Guo Tianwang should say that we are just friends, and I don't know about the recent events. But maybe because he was in a bad mood that day, Guo Tianwang scolded the reporter for not having a good temper, and then the reporter published in the newspaper "The Gossip Girlfriend Was Pryed Away, and the King of Heaven angrily reprimanded the director" This kind of article has no real thoughts and no conscience, so the news intensified, and the gossip newspaper reprinted and published a photo of Zhang Guorong going to Shen Zhenghui's room at night, and opened his eyes and said nonsense to create another scandal. What happened in Japan caused a huge wave in Hong Kong, and then the whole Hong Kong people knew that this movie called "Yakushiji Ryoko's Strange Incident Book" was being filmed. It's also clear who the starring role is.
Shen Zhenghui focuses on the film itself. Although Norika Fujiwara has put most of her energy into the recent movie shooting, doesn't she still have an agent who pays attention to the entertainment industry information for her? So when the agent sued her about her current situation, Fujihara was worried about Shen Zhenghui's attitude.
Shen Zhenghui has worked hard to play a director who has worked hard wholeheartedly during this time, although he seems to be very amiable. But to everyone I only talk about movies. Rotate every day. It was as if all my body and mind were immersed in the filming. Fujiwara Norika was naturally instinctively worried that he would have a special reaction to such a scandal, after all, the first time she was accidentally photographed. However, the subsequent report was obviously too exaggerated, and Fujiwara Norika himself felt that he couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it. But out of consideration for the whole crew. When the crew did not respond to this statement, she herself really had no need or willingness to respond to such nonsense first.
But she was worried that Shen Zhenghui had an opinion about herself because of this, the time was too short, and she had not had time to find out Shen Zhenghui's temperament, so she subconsciously thought that Chinese should pay more attention to this thing. So finally one night, she was at the end, and when everyone was gone, some people could pretend to be at a loss and ask Shen Zhenghui's opinion on the gossip in the entertainment industry.
What can I think? Mitsumi Fukuda even had the idea of using gossip magazines to increase attention, Shen Zhenghui thought so in his heart, of course, he still said very easily on the surface, "Don't worry about these things, there is no need to care, for now, make the movie first, and leave other things to the company." ”
"This, mainly because my agency wants to know how the crew wants to operate this matter, if the crew has ideas, it is inconvenient for them to deal with these things alone."
This is true, involving so many actors and directors, Fujiwara Norika's agency is obviously not suitable to speak on this matter, and if they leave Fujiwara Norika alone, it seems that they will offend the crew too much.
"Let your boss contact Mitsumi Fukuda, and let them discuss the specific instructions." Shen Zhenghui was noncommittal, "We just concentrate on making movies." ”
Fujiwara Norika's temptation was not very successful, originally she wanted to take this opportunity to continue to test whether Shen Zhenghui had thoughts about herself before she found such an excuse, speaking of this kind of scandal, if you really want to, I am OK, will the other party reach a special relationship with herself about this? In her own opinion, this is a lot of benefits, but Shen Zhenghui's reaction disappointed her so much that she was a little less confident in her beauty. Fujiwara Norika has carefully looked at the photos of Tomoaki Aonuma, and she has also seen Tomoaki Aonuma himself, she always feels that compared with herself, Tomoaki Aonuma should be a step behind, but she just doesn't understand why the other party can succeed, she doesn't seem to have that kind of position in Shen Zhenghui's eyes. Could it be that the Chinese are all righteous men and gentlemen? The experience from Guo Tianwang made Fujiwara Norika not believe this judgment.
Fujiwara Norika squeezed out a smile, "Okay, I'll sue my agent about this, I'll leave first, please rest early." ”
Shen Zhenghui looked at the time and showed a wry smile, he couldn't rest for long and was going to work again. Seeing that Fujiwara Norika was leaving, Shen Zhenghui naturally said politely, "Okay, I'll send you off, go slowly." ”
Just when Fujiwara Norika opened the door and Shen Zhenghui followed, a guy wearing a mask and a sportswear holding a camera rushed out from some corner, got in front of the two people, pressed the photo button, and after the flash flashed, under the stunned gaze of Shen Zhenghui and Fujiwara Norika, he turned around and ran.
"Ah, I'm in trouble." Norika Fujiwara looked at her watch, and the time was indeed very doubtful.
"It must be on purpose, he doesn't know how long he's been here, he must have seen Miyamoto and them leave, and it is estimated that the catch is when we are alone." Shen Zhenghui smiled bitterly, "Don't worry too much, I'll call President Fukuda at dawn, and then discuss with your company how to deal with this matter." ”
Saying this, Shen Zhenghui was also very angry in his heart, such a close-up photo was published, and the reporter wrote nonsense, it was really indefinite! (To be continued......)
