Chapter 212: The Pressure of the Female Lead

Gong Li and Zhang Guorong's appearance in this play is very different from their previous movies.

Different from the previous local atmosphere and general urban fashion atmosphere, Gong Li's role in this film is an old-fashioned beauty, although it is old-fashioned, but it must have a certain trendy feeling, after all, this is in Japan. From beginning to end, although you don't need to wear a police uniform, it is still necessary to dress up in a fashionable OL. The difference between her and the protagonist is that the protagonist Ryoko Yakushiji takes the sexy route, and she takes the "sullen" route. So dress up as young as possible and professional at the same time. The black-framed glasses girl represents the old-fashioned attributes, but the bumpy figure hidden under the heavy clothes shows her actual feminine side, and she and Fujiwara Norika can't be too different from each other, otherwise they can't be called opponents, and the opponent is not just the character itself, but more importantly, the character's attractive Cheng dรน.

So Gong Li, who is already in her thirties, did not hesitate to cosplay a foreign style committee member, but in terms of the level of Japanese stylists, it really looks like that. As far as women are concerned, clothes add too much to their appearance. In Shen Zhenghui's memory, he didn't feel good about Zhang Ziyi, but he still felt that her style in "Very Perfect" was very good, so good that he almost couldn't recognize this as Zhang Ziyi. Of course, this may also be due to Shen Zhenghui's face blindness, but I have to say that stylists are too important for women's movies.

For a long time before the start of filming, Fujiwara Norika was training with Yuan Xiangren, in addition to ensuring her flexibility in a short period of time. It's more important to stay in shape. This was stated when the contract was signed, because this is one of the selling points of this film. However, when it was officially launched, Fujiwara Norika found that she didn't know the biggest challenge of this film in terms of figure and skills, and the biggest challenge was to play with two world-class actors.

Zhang Guorong is essentially a character who is not very suitable for Junichiro Izumita, his face and personality give people a feeling that is too soft, so in the end he has to work the modeling. First changed the hairstyle to a much more energetic short hairstyle, and then I had to exercise to make my eyes sharper, of course, when facing Fujiwara Norika and Gong Li. He can show his soft eyes. Of course. The film is equally demanding in terms of combat action, especially Junichiro Izumita, whose use of zร i in the film is itself meant to show that the police are not all rubbish โ€“ of course, this is Shen's personal opinion. So at the time of the table xiร n. It's completely different from the role he used to play. almost let him play Little Pony.

Although it is such a seemingly nonsensical story. But for the actor and actress, it doesn't seem to be too much of a problem, needless to say, Gong Li. It is not too difficult for her to play a supporting role at all, especially since the whole supporting role is completely a normal person according to psychological interpretation. Except for the occasional involuntary return to his habits, Zhang Guorong is not difficult in terms of acting requirements. Shen Zhenghui watched him play with Fujiwara Norika and remembered his cousin in "Manchu and Han Dynasty" with Yuan Yuyi, the difference is that Fujiwara Norika wants to be stronger in this movie.

As a result, Fujiwara Norika is under the most pressure, on the one hand, she also seems to be a little pretentious, and her acting style is not the type that Shen Zhenghui likes, for this film, Shen Zhenghui feels that there is no need to be sexy on the surface, and showing off sexiness is just a side effect of the character's personality, in other words, Fujiwara Norika can't reach the point where she is sexy herself, and her gestures are all natural sexy expressions, mixed with the deliberateness of the performance. Of course, if this is just an ordinary Japanese drama or even an ordinary Japanese movie, her performance is probably enough and can attract enough audiences. But this is obviously not the level that Shen Zhenghui wants. The film received funding from other film companies, and the funds were sufficient, so Shen Zhenghui naturally did not save money, and tried hard to improve the quality of the film. After having Gong Li and Zhang Guorong, two Chinese superstars, join, he naturally will not stay at the level of excellent commercial films in Japan.

So not only Fujiwara Norika, but even other supporting characters were criticized for being affected by Ikeyuchi. Miyamoto, as the executive director, is very depressed to explain the precautions and plays over and over again, and the occasional exaggerated performances of many less important supporting roles can be used as jokes in the middle of the movie. But the requirements for the role of Ryoko Yakushiji cannot be relaxed at all, this is the soul of the whole movie, if this role is not played well, the whole movie will be a complete failure, even if Junichiro Izumida and Yukiko Muromachi play well, it is useless.

Fujiwara Norika NG over and over again, although she also has the tenacity of the Japanese, but in the end, the mental blow is more tiring than the repetitive movements, and at the beginning she is able to show off her sexiness more and more contrivedly, and in the end, she hardly knows what expression to use to say the lines. Gong Li and Zhang Guorong looked calm. These two are well-informed and know what kind of virtue some directors will have when they work, and Shen Zhenghui's expression is still within their acceptable range. Anyway, in the end, everyone else's drama was finished, and it was almost Fujiwara Norika who suffered again and again alone.

Miyamoto on the side couldn't help but shake his head, and when Fujiwara Norika repeated it three or four times, he already understood what the problem was. But Fujiwara Norika herself doesn't seem to understand, her understanding of the role itself is still limited by her own experience, so I have to say that Japanese actresses do have great limitations in terms of acting skills, and it is no wonder that in the end, Hollywood found a Chinese Malaysian and two Chinese to play three Japanese when it was going to shoot "Memoirs of a Geisha".

Shen Zhenghui felt that it didn't matter anyway, for him there was enough time and plenty of money, even if he wasted some film to find a feeling for the actors, it didn't matter, but Miyamoto on the side had already seen that the problem was wrong, and after Fujiwara Norika cast a plea look for help like his compatriot, he had no choice but to step forward and say to Shen Zhenghui, "Today's Fujiwara's love is no longer right, let's get here first, I'll talk to her about our requirements for the heroine!" Nor is it the way to go. โ€

Shen Zhenghui doesn't care, the filming at the beginning is just a warm-up, by the way, let everyone get familiar with the atmosphere, he said hello to Gong Li and Zhang Guorong, and after the drama arranged the rest of the actors, he was ready to end today's shooting, and when he explained things to Miyamoto, he sighed involuntarily, "Actually, I feel that the role of Ryoko Fukuda in Yakushiji is the best to play, and it is simply the true colors." During the previous interview, Tomoaki Aonuma was almost able to reach the level of acting, and Yuki Amami's queen temperament is there, but the other styles are not quite right......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head again.

Explaining the follow-up to Miyamoto, Shen Zhenghui got on the car back to the hotel, and he lived near the filming site for filming, and most of the people living in this hotel were crew members.

Miyamoto arranged and cleaned up the scene, and Fujiwara Norika came to Miyamoto with some frustration, first bowed, and then asked in a slightly pitiful tone, "Mr. Miyamoto, does Director Sasaki have a prejudice against me?" โ€

Miyamoto immediately rolled his eyes, "You don't understand the director's requirements for your role at all." Director Miyamoto's illness broke out, and he immediately reprimanded, "The role of Ryoko Yakushiji is the soul of the whole movie, therefore, when you interpret it, you have to forget that you are playing 'Ryoko Yakushiji', you yourself are Ryoko Yakushiji, if you think that the protagonist should be sexy, charming, and so deduced with a stereotypical taste," he said sharply, "What we ask is that you have the same real temperament as the protagonist, you can't achieve this yourself, how can the director say that you have a prejudice against you?" โ€

Miyamoto has followed the famous Japanese directors Shinji Fukasaku and Takeshi Kitano to shoot movies in a short period of time, and served as an assistant director for Zhou Xingxing and Shen Zhenghui, and his film debut "The Great Adventure of Heisei One Man" was well received, and he has faintly become a leader among young directors, and he has just directed "Black Fist 2", it seems that it is only a matter of time before he becomes a worldwide director. She herself just wanted to complain a few times to her compatriots. The Chinese who played with her spoke Chinese that she did not understand, and the performance could be recognized by the director, and she naturally wondered if the director was biased and aimed at herself.

"It's impossible, Director Sasaki is a very professional director, and he has his own evaluation of the actors' performances." Miyamoto dismissed Fujiwara's concerns.

Norika Fujiwara invited Miyamoto to ride back to the hotel with her, and asked Miyamoto for guidance in the car.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the other party, thinking that this was also a compatriot, Miyamoto's heart softened, and he said, "In Director Shen's opinion, although you have an advantage in terms of appearance, popularity and other factors, but in terms of acting skills alone, you are still inferior to Tomoaki Aonuma and Yuki Amami." He said frankly, "Your performance is a little too deliberate, of course, this is a common problem of Japanese actors, those two Chinese do much better, there is no rigidity in performance when performing, you have to learn more about this." โ€

Hearing that he was inferior to Tomoaki Aonuma and Yuki Amami, Norika Fujiwara gritted her teeth, "Then should I ask Director Sasaki for advice?" โ€

It's a pity that Miyamoto didn't understand the hint in this sentence, he thought for a while, "I'll help you ask, it's best to give you a lesson, Queens's several supporting actresses have also performed a little, but they are supporting roles, as long as the styles do not conflict, the requirements are definitely not so high." โ€

Norika Fujiwara seems to have made a wrong understanding of this promise to start classes. She pursed her lips and respectfully thanked Miyamoto for his help, while at the same time making up her mind about the evening's actions. (To be continued......)
