Chapter 289: Ryoko Kuninaka's efforts
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In Zhou Xiao's version of "The Man Who Can't Get Married", most of the roles follow the previous actors, and among them, the role of Ryoko Kunaka is very eye-catching.
After the 24-year-old Ryoko Kunaka debuted in 98, she was fortunate to participate in NHK's morning drama "Water Girl" in 2oo1 and became a very high-profile star with this TV series.
Ryoko Kuninaka in 2oo1 has a very beautiful and lovely face, judging from the poster of "Water Girl" she shot at that time, you will feel that she at that time is somewhat similar to the so-called once-in-a-millennium idol Hashimoto Kanna who was popular in 2o14, especially the smile that seems to be carefree makes people seem to be able to melt into it.
The drama "Water Girl" continues the high ratings of the morning drama and the performance is also very good, with an average of 22%, and the highest rating of 29% shows the popularity of this drama, after the end of the 156 episodes of the morning script, this drama even filmed three sequels in a row, and it was not until 2oo7 that the entire Water Girl series officially ended.
And now in April 2oo3, it is the second part of the Water Maiden series that will be broadcast on NHK at 9 p.m. every Monday.
At nine o'clock on Monday night, this time is the ninth day of the month when the Fuji TV is changed, although NHK's Taiga drama and morning drama appeal are amazing, but their moon nine is because they have to fight against the classic Fuji TV moon nine, so both popularity and appeal are slightly weaker, and, it has been two years since the water girl broadcast in the morning drama, and the popularity of the water girl 2 has not been inherited in these two years, and "Water Girl 2" was broadcast at the end of the month in March The first episode was played an hour earlier to make way for Fuji Channel's ninth time slot. But it still only got such an embarrassing rating of 11.5%.
This girl Ryoko Kuninaka...... How to say it, she is actually a bit like the Nengnian Rena in "Sea Girl", which became popular in 13 years. They all met a very, very lucky interview shortly after their debut and became the leading actors of the morning drama, the morning drama has a characteristic, as the only TV series broadcast in the morning hours in Japan, it has always had excellent ratings and high attention, for many actors, even if they don't take a penny, they can also appear in this series unconditionally.
Moreover, there is another reason why Ryoko Kuninaka is similar to Reina Nengnian.
Japanese morning dramas are overwhelmingly about female protagonists. Among the many morning dramas, the basic plot will follow two kinds, one is the drama in which the heroine is not afraid of adversity and lives tenaciously, the most famous example of this kind of drama should be "Ashin", which won an average rating of 52.6 that year. (It's really 52.6!! )
In addition to Ashin, it was broadcast in the first half of 2o14. "Hanako and Annie" starring Yuriko Yoshitaka should also be considered a series of this genre, and of course, "Mr. Mei" starring Maki Horikita and "Pure Shine" by Aoi Miyazaki.
Another type of morning drama is usually a series that depicts a happy reunion of women who work hard to achieve success because they love a certain profession.
The two episodes seem to be of similar genre, in fact, except for Ashin. In the previous examples, the heroines all like something and fight for it, such as the translation of "Hanako and Annie", the doctor in "Mr. Xiaomei", and the jazz music of "Innocence Shines", but the difference between the two is that the former focuses on the resilience of women struggling to survive in difficult situations. The latter describes the process by which women succeed.
As for the typical example of the latter genre, of course, it is "The Sea Lady" Neng Nian Rena.
Dividing morning dramas into these two genres is what I want to say. The former describes the drama in which women move forward in difficulty, and there are certain requirements for the acting skills of the heroine, and it is usually difficult for you to perform well enough if you don't have good enough acting skills.
The latter is relatively less demanding, and the latter usually requires the compatibility between the actor and the role, such as Nengnian Lingnai to Xiaohai Maiden, such as Guozhong Ryoko to the Water Girl.
Their acting skills and talent are worse than those of the previous actresses, but they are often the most suitable for their roles, so they will soon gain absolute popularity after starring in the series, but the problem is that they are not like those actresses who have enough ability to act can retain this popularity, and in the end, they can only helplessly watch the people who once liked them leave them, and gradually become a supporting role from the protagonist, traversing the painful reality.
Two years after the broadcast of "Water Girl", although "Water Girl 2" has begun to be screened, the passing popularity has made many people who used to be inferior to her no longer have the respect they once had, and she knows that it is difficult for her to succeed from scratch.
Of course, she doesn't want to leave the entertainment industry so lightly, and taking over Zhou Xiao's play is a very precious opportunity for her.
Zhou Xiao, a guy who has been calling for wind and rain in the Japanese entertainment industry in the past two years, almost no one doesn't want to cooperate with him, and the same is true for Ryoko Guozhong, but it's a pity that the two don't have any intersection and connection together, even if Ryoko Guozhong wants to shoot Zhou Xiao's drama, she has no chance.
In the trouble, the opportunity came, aZx actually found her directly, consulted her about the work arrangement at the beginning of the o3 year, she keenly felt that the opportunity came, there are only a few artists in the aZx company, and there is probably only one person who may cooperate with her, that is Zhou Xiao!
Then it's time to say yes and prepare for the interview.
Ryoko Kunigaka actually had a job at the beginning of O3, nhk's "Water Girl 2" is a job she absolutely can't refuse, she is actually very worried, worried that aZx will give up working with her because she wants to shoot this, but when she nervously reported the situation, aZx didn't seem to care, they said: "The invitation to Miss Ryoko Kunaka to star is the third time of Zhou Xiao's next drama." ”
The so-called three times means that there are the third most scenes in the play, and it sounds like one of the protagonists, right? But the truth is not so rosy at all, the vast majority of TV series. Usually only one person will be described, at most two people such as a couple or brothers. And Zhou Xiao's play: "The Man Who Can't Get Married". As soon as she heard the name, Kuninaka Ryoko knew that this play must be the previous situation of describing a protagonist, as for the so-called two or three times in front of her, it just sounds good, and in the end it is just a small supporting role.
A small supporting role is a small supporting role, Zhou Xiao's play, even if it is a small supporting role, there are many people who want to play it!
With this in mind, Ryoko Kunigaka started her interview very seriously.
"You're playing in this play. It's an ordinary girl about 24,5 years old, you sell cars in Toyota, you just fell out of love, but your next door is a very nasty guy, and now, he's playing a symphony next door to you......"
Zhou Xiao told Guozhong Ryoko about a play during the interview, and then asked her to act it once.
"Yes, yes. So be it, you go back first, and I'll let you know when it's decided. Zhou Xiao said after watching Ryoko Guozhong's acting skills.
As soon as he said this, Ryoko Kunaka's heart was half cold.
Why? In fact, it's very simple, you participate in the interview and audition of a TV series, and the director only lets you act for a while. What does this mean? It means that people are disappointed in you! It means that people think that you are too bad at acting, and it is impossible to play this role!
Coming out of the interview office in a bit of a daze, Ryoko Kunaka tried hard to recall what she had just seen.
"It feels pretty good, although it's not excellent, but at least it should be okay to play it three times. Why did Director Zhou Xiao reject me so rashly? Is there a shady scene? Or has the candidate already been decided? Ryoko Kuninaka, who was full of doubts, returned home disappointed, and the next two days. She is still carrying out her work step by step, but Zhou Xiao's interview has basically been left behind by him.
Until the agent hurriedly called to inform her that she had been selected as the No. 3 role in Zhou Xiao's new drama.
"What's the matter, didn't you just interview me for a short time? Is it so light that it decided my appearance? Guozhong Ryoko was confused, of course she wouldn't know that her role had been basically determined before she came, and as for the interview, it was nothing more than Zhou Xiao to make sure that she was capable enough to act now.
Getting the role of Zhou Xiao's new drama made Guozhong Ryoko very excited, she regarded this appearance as her most important opportunity, she secretly decided that she must do her best to perform what Director Zhou Xiao wants her to do, for this, she can give her own qiē!
It didn't take long for the TV series to start filming, and the starring Abe Kuan has been a celebrity in the past two years, but in addition to him, there are many people in the whole show who can only play supporting roles, and she is the biggest artist under Abe Kuan. After reading all the scripts, she knows that every qiē in this drama is to describe Abe Kuan, the only male protagonist, whether it is other supporting roles or her, it is all to set off the personality of the male protagonist.
Ryoko Kunaka is 24 years old, and at this age, she can really understand the special charm of the male protagonist played by Abe Kuan in Zhou Xiao's pen, which is a kind of charm with weaknesses and imperfections, but people can't help but want to shout cute.
She doesn't think that she should reduce Abe's role and increase her own, but what he hopes is to increase her role but reduce the role of the female doctor Yui Natsukawa. In Zhou Xiao's script, Abe Kuan chose Yui Natsukawa, who is the same age as herself, and Ryoko Kunizhong felt that the neighbor she played was better than Yui Natsukawa's female doctor regardless of age or appearance, but Zhou Xiao did not describe too many emotional scenes between herself and Abe Kuan in the series, this is where she is dissatisfied, she feels that her role should be the last person to get the protagonist Abe Kuan!
To say Japanese women...... It's really a knife to kill people with scheming, and they are probably receiving this kind of education since they were born, such as using their appearance to achieve some goals, this kind of thing is too normal for women.
Kunigka Ryoko is like this, after joining the crew, she exploded all her charm in a short period of time.
Almost every time the crew filmed, Ryoko Kunaka would not be late, and almost every time she came, she would bring some things over, these things were actually not big, sometimes they were handmade cookies, sometimes they were handmade cream cakes, these small desserts and dishes quickly captured the hearts of all the men and women in the entire crew. In addition, she greets everyone with a kind and smiling face, and is more like a mother, trying her best to help everyone, and there is no famous actress at all. Finally, she is so beautiful and cute, such a woman. Will there be men who will not fall?
In fact, if you want to talk about a place like the crew, usually there will be several female characters between the ages of 18 and 25 who play various roles in the TV series, if there are other women of the right age in the crew, in the process of striving for favor, they may not let Ryoko Kunaka be beautiful alone, but unfortunately she is the only woman of the same age in this drama now, so she is like a fish in water.
The scheming of Ryoko Kunigaka is clear to the older people in the crew. But no one stopped her, because she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and the focus of her cordial and hard-working behavior was, of course, on Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao could vaguely feel the thoughts of Guozhong Ryoko, and when he smiled at this sister's overtures, he was secretly wary in his heart, he didn't want to mess up anything, and there were already two flower-age girls in the family. He didn't have any special thoughts about this kind of woman who didn't have an advantage in age and couldn't spread the aura of Sister Sakai Izumizu or Sister Hitomi Kuroki.
Fortunately, Ryoko Kuninaka herself is quite sensible, and in addition to making a lot of efforts outside the play, her concentration on this TV series is also very high, which must be admitted by Zhou Xiao, including Zhou Xiao.
In fact, the role of Ryoko Kuninaka does not have much room to wield. is a supporting role, just an ordinary little girl, but she seems to play the role very well as if she doesn't know what medicine she has taken.
In Zhou Xiao's version of "The Man Who Can't Get Married", a lot of Abe Kuan's rivalry with the three female characters was strengthened, and the reason for this was mainly in "The Big Bang Theory", many of the scenes in this genius comedy come from jokes between male and female characters. Because of these things, Zhou Xiao added a lot of scenes with three female characters.
As soon as this is added, the problem comes out. That is, Ryoko Kuninaka, the neighbor of Abe, played too well......
The original role of Ryoko Kunigaka was a girl who was a bit silly but kind-hearted, but when she was acting, she actually added a touch of loneliness to this role, which was very subtle, for example, she was over after being smashed by Abekuan's symphony, but he continued to perform after smashing the wall, she did it on the sand a little out of strength, and looked at the empty room with some distraction.
This extra acting skills Zhou Xiao studied it and kept it, not only that, but he even specially added the symphony of Abe Kuan in the background when Kunitaka Ryoko was staying, so as to express the somewhat agitated but lonely heart of Kuokunaka Ryoko.
In addition to this scene, there are other scenes, such as drinking alone after she fell out of love, such as waiting outside alone after she took Abe Kan to the hospital......
In short, after the two episodes of "The Man Who Can't Get Married" were filmed and cut, they were shown to the crew, and almost everyone who watched it had a feeling that the character played by Ryoko Kuninaka was not only cute and sincere, but also a little pitiful.
"If I hadn't known the result, I would have liked the actor to be with his neighbors...... "A lot of people said.
This is definitely something that Zhou Xiao never expected.
It stands to reason that Ryoko Guozhong's addition of drama is a personal act, Zhou Xiao only needs to tell her, I believe she will be more restrained, but he didn't do it, taking this opportunity, he began to think about the general plot of this play.
The surface line of this drama describes the process of a turtle-haired man meeting three women and finally slowly opening his heart, but what Zhou Xiao really wants the audience to see in this drama is the plot tension brought by those fun plots and the imperfect male protagonist like Abe Kuan, and the plots in the film are also for this purpose.
From this direction, Zhou Xiao's "The Man Who Can't Get Married" is different from the simple turtle-haired man pure love drama in his memory, and the current drama is more inclined to comedy than a middle-aged man's pure love film.
"Since this is the case, many specific plots have been changed, and some people's scenes have also increased and decreased, so is it necessary to modify even the main plot? Like what...... Let the character of Ryoko Kuninaka be the last person to enter Abe's room? Zhou Xiao considered.
What is the difference between Ryoko Kuninaka's 24-year-old girl and Yui Natsukawa's 4o woman?
First of all, the 4O-year-old female doctor played by Yui Natsukawa is actually strictly the same kind of person as the male protagonist played by Abe Kan, which is the main reason why they can come together, just like Sheldon and Amy in "The Big Bang Theory".
But everyone knows what is the best thing about "The Big Bang Theory", and of course the interaction between Sheldon and Penny is the cutest! This is the essence of this show! And Abe Kuan and Ryoko Kuninaka, in Zhou Xiao's eyes, may become a Japanese drama version of "The Big Bang Theory"!
"However, if you want to change it like this, you must be cautious, you must confirm and study it repeatedly, this is my first semi-original series, and I can't mess it up!" Zhou Xiao, who was thinking about revising the plot between filming, thought.
Probably no screenwriter in Japan has ever done such a ridiculous thing, filming a TV series while trying to revise the plot later in the series.
