Chapter 55: The Supporting Actresses
"The heroine's junior high school period and her classmates can be played by these girls," Director Miyamoto continued, flipping through his notebook and pointing to the photo, "Yu Aoi, Keiko Kitagawa, Erika Sawajiri, these three girls are very good, and I think the temperament is also very consistent, among which Yu Aoi plays the heroine when she is a child, Keiko Kitagawa plays her classmate, and Erika Sawajiri can play the role of the male protagonist's female classmate." β
In the script of "Sister's Man", Shen Zhenghui's basic setting was that the male protagonist's mother, the heroine's father remarried, and the male and female protagonists met. Erika Sawajiri is just the right age, and it's just right to play a female classmate who likes the male lead.
Miyamoto's preparations surprised Shen Zhenghui, but it was expected to be expected, and Mr. Lu Xun praised the Japanese for their seriousness - saying that their men were the most suitable for detectives, and women were the most suitable for nurses.
Miyamoto's role seems to be more than limited to this, he continued to show Shen Zhenghui his ability to prepare materials, "Of course, the heroine is given to Miss Tomoaki Aonuma, and the role of the actor's assistant nurse, I think Kumiko Aso is very suitable, of course, I may not be able to get it." Miyamoto paused, "I've listed a lot of alternative actors, please choose." β
So Shen Zhenghui saw a large stack of photos that dazzled him.
"The female classmate of the male protagonist, Erika grows up for this role, I think Ryoko Hirosue is better, of course, this may not be invited, I boldly mention a building here, I think Ryoko Shinohara, although her main business is singing, but her appearance is very suitable, and this role is not heavy."
Shen Zhenghui looked at a stack of photos in a daze, trying to match the name with the person.
"In addition, they are all unimportant roles, oh, who do you want to play the role of the male protagonist's mother?" Miyamoto asked as if he had suddenly thought of it.
Shen Zhenghui's thinking was only now back to normal, "Well, can you ask Hitomi Kuroki to act?" β
"This," Miyamoto smiled awkwardly, "It shouldn't be a big problem, "The Witch's Condition" was also invested by President Fukuda. As he spoke, he glanced at Mitsumi Fukuda on the side.
"What? Difficult? Because of this tone, Shen Zhenghui asked.
""The Witch's Condition" is on the air, and I'm worried about the schedule and price." Miyamoto said.
"Huh? I heard Mitsumi talking about filming this film a year ago, why did it start to be broadcast now? Shen Zhenghui opened his mouth wide and turned his head to look at Mitsumi Fukuda.
"This, for the sake of all kinds of preparations." Miyamoto replied awkwardly.
"It's okay," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "and by the time Tomoaki returns, 'The Witch's Condition' will almost be over." β
"Hmm. No matter what, I can't learn from them until next year to start broadcasting, so let's do it, Director Miyamoto, I'll take these materials to see them, and if they are confirmed, I'll tell you, we'll sign a contract, and when Tomoaki Aonuma comes back from China, we will start making zuΓ². β
"Hey!" Miyamoto looked very excited, and asked cautiously, "Well, have you negotiated with the TV station?" When is it scheduled to air? β
"Aren't you going to contact the TV station after you've filmed?" Shen Zhenghui was a little stunned again.
"No, it's not," Seeing that Shen Zhenghui didn't know much about the Japanese TV drama production zuΓ², Miyamoto hurriedly explained, "Generally, I start to produce zuΓ² after talking to the TV station, and I have one episode a week." β
Shen Zhenghui squinted his eyes and looked at Mitsumi Fukuda, who was standing aside silently.
She spread her hands at Shen Zhenghui, "Don't worry," she said, "I'll take care of the TV station, you just have to shoot." β
"Yes, yes!" Miyamoto bowed, "Thank you so much, President!" He handed over all the information he had collected and sorted out to Shen Zhenghui, bowed to Fukuda Mitsumi, and then left.
"Where did you get this director, it looks like a talent." Shen Zhenghui looked at the thick stack of materials in his hand and sighed.
"Well, didn't I say that? He's making bad information films. β
"So I wonder how you met him, have you seen his work?" Shen Zhenghui joked.
"Just like you said before, instead of using clichΓ©d things, it's better to dig and cultivate yourself," Mitsumi Fukuda ignored Shen Zhenghui's joke, "There is a chance to be the director of a formal TV series, so he will be very serious," Mitsumi Fukuda's gaze swept over the thick stack of things in Shen Zhenghui's hand, "I also think he is good, I hope you will cooperate well and grow into a golden partner." After all, for you, you need a Japanese local assistant. β
"Thank you so much!" Shen Zhenghui touched his chin.
"You're welcome, you will repay me by filming the film well." Mitsumi Fukuda replied.
"So did you really get the TV station or something? Are we going to follow the established way to shoot one episode a week? To be honest, I'm not used to it. β
"It's okay," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "aren't we rich?" It is possible not to do so. She glanced at the information in Shen Zhenghui's hand again, "Be careful at night, or do you want to live in a different place." β
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhenghui was a little stunned.
"Forget it, it's nothing."
"Ah, if Miyamoto, the assistant director, is the director of bad information films, I really have an idea, and I want to see if I can make bad information films!" Shen Zhenghui said casually.
Mitsumi Fukuda stared at him seriously, and he was a little hairy.
"You're not kidding?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked seriously.
"Well, that's kind of a bad taste for idle eggs." Shen Zhenghui said a little leisurely, thinking of the future otaku watching the films directed by him, it can be regarded as a distorted sense of satisfaction, he pointed his finger at his temple and shook it, "Some kind of strange art habit of jumping." β
"Men's artistic fetish, understandable." Mitsumi Fukuda nodded, as if she was tired, "Okay, let's go back." She said.
Sure enough, it was too late.
Mitsumi Fukuda and Shen Zhenghui said, "I'm going to visit GONZO, and by the way, take a look at Liu Xin, do you want to come with me?" β
"No," Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "I'm going to take a closer look at this information tonight and choose the role as best I can." β
"It's not enough to just look at the photos," Mitsumi Fukuda narrowed, "and I have to interview for the role!" β
"I'm just delineating a scope, and I'll leave the specific things to Miyamoto."
"It's too early for Aonuma to come back!" A smile twitched at the corner of Mitsumi Fukuda's mouth.
"You have to prepare early, Director Miyamoto is very motivated, and he can't be hit." Shen Zhenghui replied, "Also, do you know Qingnuma's address in China?" Send her the script in advance, and she will have to prepare early. β
Mitsumi Fukuda nodded, "I'll do this." She said, "How do you settle dinner?" β
"Just hand over the ramen takeout." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand.
"Also, you haven't been in the office at all." Mitsumi Fukuda said pointedly and left.
Shen Zhenghui returned to his office in the building, where he had indeed spent too little, and the office was brand new. One of Mitsumi Fukuda's little secretaries came to ask Shen Zhenghui if he wanted to order food for him a while after Shen Zhenghui entered the office.
"Just have some ramen." Shen Zhenghui sat down and began to look at the photo and name.
"Is there anything else I need to do?" The little secretary continued to ask.
"Oh, by the way, I remember that the company has an artist profile, please bring it to me and show it." Shen Zhenghui said casually that the Japanese have done a good job in intelligence work, saying that it is the company's artist information, but in fact, most of the famous artists in the Japanese entertainment industry are in it.
"You have one on your shelf." The little secretary replied with a smile, "I'll be off work in a while, please tell me in advance if you have anything." β
"Oh, that's fine, you can go. I want tonkotsu spicy and sour ramen. β
After the little secretary left, Shen Zhenghui stood up and browsed his bookshelf, and was stunned when he looked closely, there was a row full of artist information, and it would probably take a month to read it.
"Damn, it's not easy to be a director." Shen Zhenghui sighed, so he had to list the age of the characters according to the method used by the Japanese, and find the actors according to their age, which is still a huge workload, but fortunately, Miyamoto's preparations have been done well enough, Shen Zhenghui looked at the information again according to the map with the attitude of checking and filling in the gaps, and by the way, he was also familiar with the Japanese entertainment industry.
After a while, the takeaway boy brought the ramen, and the little secretary also came to ask for instructions to confirm that there was nothing to do and left. Shen Zhenghui finished eating the ramen, looked at the information for a while, walked to the window and looked out, there were still many people working overtime in the hall. He shook his head, sure enough, it was Japanese.
After getting the main role, Shen Zhenghui really had no interest in getting it, and he was going to hand it all over to Miyamoto, and preliminarily drew up a list, most of which were the same as Miyamoto's choice, which can be regarded as a recognition of Miyamoto's work. Seeing that it was late at night, Shen Zhenghui moved his body in the office, disposed of the garbage, sorted out the documents, and was about to leave, when at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
This sudden knock on the door startled Shen Zhenghui in the middle of the night.
"Who?"
"I'm a security guard, Mr. Sasaki, are you going to get off work?"
"Got it, let's go." Shen Zhenghui breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a little strange to hear the security guard call himself Sasaki, and then suddenly remembered that this was what was written on his door number - it was not the department and position, but the name Sasaki.
"I'm about to change shifts, I'll tell the successor that you're still there, Mr. Sasaki, this isn't urging you, please don't worry, we have someone all night."
"Thank you so much." Shen Zhenghui opened the door and saw a respectful middle-aged security guard standing outside the door, smiling at him.
The other person bowed, "Hey, I'll take a look at the other floors." β
Shen Zhenghui said that he had worked hard, turned around and closed the door and poured himself a glass of water, just took a sip. There was another soft knock on the door behind it, so slight that it would hardly be audible if it weren't for the silence of the night.
Shen Zhenghui didn't realize anything, "Oh, I'll leave immediately." He thought the security guard was back again, turned around and opened the door, but it was a young and beautiful girl standing at the door, raising her fingernails and knocking on the door with shiny nail polish on them, "Who are you?" β
The other party looked very embarrassed, and first bowed, "I'm Nazumi Horiguchi." β
"Oh, which department of the company are you?"
The other party looked very nervous, "Can you go in and talk?" She swallowed and said.
Shen Zhenghui was a little puzzled, but still let the door open and let her in, "Do you have something?" Shen Zhenghui asked, "I'm leaving soon." β
The girl who called herself Nazumi Horiguchi stood in front of Shen Zhenghui, she seemed to be trembling a little, she gritted her teeth suddenly, closed her eyes and reached out to open her chest, revealing her tall breasts covered by a bra, "I hope to be able to get a role, please." β
Shen Zhenghui didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Natsumi Horiguchi opened her eyes and saw Shen Zhenghui looking at her in a daze, so she reached out and grabbed Shen Zhenghui's hand and pressed it on her soft chest, "Bye...... Please, I can do whatever you tell me to do. β
Shen Zhenghui's mind suddenly flashed in "Sister's Man", the protagonist's biological father is a director, and he unsubtly rules the setting of the protagonist's female classmates.
Feeling the softness and warmth from his hands, Shen Zhenghui trembled: It's really a good job to be a director! He sighed to himself.
