Chapter 754: School Roof
When TV was preparing to broadcast the eighth episode of "Sorry Youth" that day, the filming of this drama had come to an end.
After a few months of filming, the filming of the series has gradually improved, and the plot has been very deep.
In the ninth episode, Zhou Xiao's ninth lesson is about letting the students enjoy the process of cultural sacrifices.
"To put it bluntly, cultural festivals are basically very 'cold', no way, not professional, just high school students." Zhou Xiao said.
It's really cold for cultural festivals and whatever.
It's cold, but it's not boring, but it's fun to say that the process of doing these things is fun.
"People who laugh at others are very cold, they look at the problem from the perspective of staying out of the matter, if it is really compared, in fact, the people who are ridiculed must be more 'hot' than the ridiculers, they are more enthusiastic and enthusiastic, this is the most precious place for people who really do things." Zhou Xiao said.
"Those ridiculers say it's stupid, but forget that it's not the participants who are really cold, but themselves, so ...... In the end, it is better to be ridiculed. ”
"After today, you will encounter a lot of cold deaths, but remember your enthusiasm now, there is no shame in being the one who is ridiculed, because the heat of things is not equal to your own heat, when you burn, you can infect others."
Like the previous lessons, Zhou Xiao's ninth lesson can still be connected to the AKB girls themselves.
In addition to the course, the most important thing in the ninth episode is the scene where the male protagonist Zhou Xiao confesses to the female protagonist Yuko Oshima later in the episode.
Zhou Xiao is not the kind of person who shouts I love you and you love me all day long, most of the time his feelings are more restrained, as if he rarely takes the initiative to chase girls.
So, don't talk about ordinary members, even if it's Yuko. 1. It is relatively rare to hear Zhou Xiao express his feelings in words.
Of course, feelings and other things often don't need feelings to be expressed, which Yuko also knows very well, Zhou Xiao is used to expressing everything with his care and actions.
Yuko's attention to this scene can be said to be the highest in the whole play, she knows the meaning of this scene too well, not to mention anything else, just talking to Zhou Xiao about love on TV is already a unique romance!
That's right, Yuko has a special relationship with Zhou Xiao, but this relationship is quite delicate. Most people know their relationship in their hearts, but most people, including Yuko, can't say these things in public.
This will definitely make Yuko a little regretful for a long time.
Now, that regret has finally been made up for to some extent.
Confessed to each other with Zhou Xiao in the TV series? This kind of thing, AKB48 is the only one she can do, and it is unprecedented and probably unprecedented.
Maeda can't do it, Takahashi can't do it, and even Shinoda Kojima can't do it.
That alone was enough to give her a great satisfaction in her self-esteem and vanity.
So she is extremely serious about this scene, because this is something that only she is qualified to film. Moreover, this point was also admitted by Zhou Xiao, you must know that Zhou Xiao would rather revise the script and ask her to play this role instead of Maeda. Why is that? It's not because Zhou Xiao feels that she is the only one who has this qualification, and no matter how good the others are, they are not his.
Zhou Xiao rarely confesses and rarely expresses the emotions in his heart, but it is just such an arrangement. It's enough to make Yuko feel what makes her special, even different from Shinoda Kojima and others.
On the night of the official shooting, Yuko made a lot of preparations. She began to discuss every detail of this scene with Zhou Xiao a few days ago, and began to brew the emotions of the performance from the first second she got up in the morning, and when the evening shooting officially began, she had prepared for this for more than ten hours.
And then...... Her scene collapsed.
The drama "Sorry Youth" takes a relaxed and interesting style, but Yuko in the drama is small but has a unique aura, and her every scene and appearance is very interesting.
Such a Yuko, even in this confession scene, should still show a unified temperament, but Yuko, who was able to perform very well most of the time before, used too much force in this scene.
She over-interpreted some of the actions and lines in the script, although the TV series originally required exaggeration, but Zhou Xiao's filming did not have high requirements for exaggeration, but he would ask the actors not to exaggerate themselves, especially not to let the artist's performance affect the plot of the script.
At the time of the filming of the series, the plot was that Zhou Xiao called Yuko to the roof of the building and confessed that he had set off fireworks on the roof of the building and may have set fire to the school church.
In Zhou Xiao's plan, Yuko needed to perform like this, but when it was actually filming, Yuko NG four or five times in a row, because she performed too much.
NG Zhou Xiao said to her: "What you just expressed is too exaggerated, you don't need so many psychological struggles and changes in expressions, you should make up your mind quickly instead of acting like a moon-nine drama like now, this is supposed to be a happy drama." ”
"I ...... I know, but ......" Yuko rarely shows a weak side.
"Actually, you used to perform very well, and you were basically fully integrated into the character before, the problem is that you didn't maintain this state of your own." Zhou Xiao said.
Yuko kept her head down and didn't speak.
"Are you happy filming this film?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"There's nothing happier than making this film." Yuko said.
"Since you're happy, then enjoy this play, don't think too much, and don't treat me as a special person, I'm just your acting opponent, your partner and colleague in this play." Zhou Xiao said.
"Okay, I got it." Yuko nodded.
After chatting with the girl, Yuko went to the side again and tried it herself, and the filming continued.
But...... It's never easy to get out of it right away when you're on the tip of a bull's horn. Zhou Xiao took Youzi to try twice and then reluctantly chose to give up, he stopped filming and then disbanded the crew.
The members of the crew packed up their things and went back, but Zhou Xiao and Youzi did not leave, he left the girl behind.
The actual filming location of "Sorry Youth" is a school in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan's aging and declining birthrate are becoming more and more prominent, many high schools and middle schools have fallen into a situation where there are no students to recruit, this time I found this filming location, there are less than 100 students in the three grades of the school, I heard that there is a shooting job, and these more than 100 students are all easily moved to Zhou Xiao's side to find a good new school. As a result, this school completely belonged to Zhou Xiao's crew in a few months.
"Scared, aren't you?" Zhou Xiao asked.
School at night is definitely not a good place, especially in Japan, there have always been a lot of messy school weird stories in Japan, what kind of girl trapped in the toilet, rift girl, cursed thirteen steps or something, the school building at night is definitely not a suitable place for people.
"Of course I'm not afraid, it's not yours anyway." The girl leaned on Zhou Xiao and sat down.
"But...... It's a little cool. She took off her shoes. put his feet on Zhou Xiao's thighs.
Zhou Xiao's hand was on her lap, feeling the amazing elasticity and smoothness of the girl's thighs who had been dancing for a long time, and at the same time, she said: "It seems that I really can't film with you casually in the future, if it's always like this, it will affect my work too much." ”
"You can't blame me, I'm actually doing pretty well. If someone else comes over to talk to you about love, maybe it will take hundreds of times! Yuko said arrogantly.
"Yes, Yuko Oshima's acting skills are still quite level, but it's chaotic to care about it today. will appear in a situation where the plot cannot be solved. ”
Maeda and Yuko may be difficult to compare with those talented actors in terms of talent, but they have never been weaker than others in terms of hard work. When you are on the crew, you will almost never see them holding the script in their hands and desperately previewing, but when the series is filmed, you will find that these two girls never forget their lines or make the wrong move, because they don't know how many times they have practiced these times in places you can't see.
This is where they are good, as for the bad part, it is talent, there will hardly be born in their bodies that kind of amazing and stunning, three days and the moon do not know the taste of the flesh super performance, they don't want to, but that kind of performance requires extremely high talent, and talent is such a thing...... No amount of effort you put in will make up for it.
How do you play this scene well...... Zhou Xiao held the girl's hand and thought.
"Actually...... I can't play well and it has something to do with you. Yuko said suddenly.
"Me?"
"Yes, I rarely hear your confession, so it's hard to be calm about your confession."
"That's why we should have a better response to the confession we first heard in the series, right?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"If Ah Chan may indeed perform better, but don't forget, Ah Chan is the kind of person who will integrate himself into the character and even make himself a character, and I am completely playing the role, for me, it is best to remain as calm as possible." Yuko said.
"That's easy, just use desensitization therapy."
"Desensitization therapy?"
"Yuko, I like you, there are so many girls in AKB, I like you the most, maybe my eyes will be attracted to the new, cute girls, but that's a big reason because it's because this is the profession, and the person I love will always be you."
"Don't ...... Yada ...... "Yuko's face was red when Zhou Xiao stared at her.
She was really not used to Zhou Xiao's confession, but Zhou Xiao suddenly became interested in this kind of thing as if he had broken through a certain critical point, he pulled Yuko and began to continue to talk about love: "Ah...... I like Yuko so much, it's the luck of my life to have such a lively and lovely girl......"
"That's it! Say no more! Yuko wanted to block Zhou Xiao's mouth.
"Huh? Got all red? The girl's somewhat angry appearance surprised him very much, this is really not a girl who is easy to be shy, seeing her like this makes Zhou Xiao feel very cute, this is a complete contrast and cuteness.
After playing around for a while, and really confessing many times, Zhou Xiao stopped and held the girl's hand again and said, "What now?" Can you face me normally? ”
"Me...... I have called you Brother Zhou Xiao for many years, although I have been your woman, but for so many years. I've always had a state of mind that respects you more than I like, not only me, but also Shinoda and them, and makes it easy for us to change this mind...... It's really hard. ”
"Actually, I don't have anything to be respected, without those works, I'm just an ordinary person, and it's probably a love and a bad person."
"Talent is definitely important, but it's not the most important thing for me and for Mariko." Yuko said.
"What's that?"
"You must remember the incentive we decided to teach ourselves. Your protection of Mariko made us feel that you really cared about us, in fact, not only that time, but many times later, you protected us, like the attack some time ago, and the first general election, when you protected Ah Chan after I finished speaking, this is what we worship you.
Mr. Akimoto. There was also Uncle Inoue, Mr. Togasaki, and even the agents who took care of us a lot, and they all helped us a lot. We are not stupid, we can feel that you are different from them, only your care for us is selfless and very simple. ”
Kindness...... That's of course. Uncle Inoue first treats AKB as a job, but Zhou Xiao is above it first, and his love for idols is the most selfless and purest love in the world.
The chat with Yuko continued until late at night. When the two left, it was more than one o'clock in the morning, at this time, even if the sky was not afraid of the earth, shouting that Zhou Xiao was not afraid, it was quite infiltrating to walk in the empty campus, he hugged Zhou Xiao tightly, and there was only the footsteps and breathing of the two in the empty corridor.
The next day, the crew continued filming during the day, and most of these scenes were the content of the last episode of the series.
The plot of "Sorry Youth", some people feel that only ten episodes are too short, for example, the campus festival part in the tenth episode can be taken out alone to make one episode, and the part where the protagonist reveals what he did back then is enough to do another episode, but in Zhou Xiao's opinion, the ten episodes of the original work are not only not short but even a little long.
In the previous episodes, what Zhou Xiao said in the ninth episode can be used to explain.
It's basically very cold for the school festival or something.,What's really interesting is the process of preparation.,For example, in the series,A lot of things happened around the school festival.,When the school festival is really held, there are not many things that can be described.。
Zhou Xiao feels that there are some problems with the plot handling of the last part of this drama, such as the lack of some dramatic conflicts in the process of the actor admitting that he may have been an arsonist, in fact, Japanese TV dramas have always liked to arrange some speeches and the like in the last part of the series, but for example, the speech of Masato Sakai in "legalhigh", and the speech of Takuya Kimura in "Change" are all amazing performances that lose points, but these performances, the foreshadowing in front is as important as the actors' performances, may be too much emphasis on funny and light-hearted parts, "Sorry Youth" is relatively lacking in the creation of these plots.
Now that he knows the problem, he must make corresponding modifications, and Zhou Xiao added Maeda's female number two role in the series for this, and he arranged more dramatic conflicts before and after the series, so that his confession in the last episode gave people a greater shocking effect.
The filming work during the day was almost done, and after the crew ate together, it was time for Zhou Xiao and Youzi to shoot the confession scene at night.
In the daytime scenes, most of the crew members are there, and now at night there is only Zhou Xiaoyuko's role, and most of the crew has left, but Maeda stayed, and the problems encountered by Yuko Everyone in the crew are clear, and she also wants to see how Yuko breaks through this level.
"Attention departments! Let's start shooting! "The assistant director Zhang Luo was shooting, because Zhou Xiao was the leading actor, so the assistant director and the cinematographer took on more work.
Maeda stood behind the assistant director with great interest and looked at the monitor screen aimed at Zhou Xiao and Yuko, looking forward to the performance of the two of them.
Zhou Xiao and Youzi didn't communicate much, and the two of them silently stood in their places and waited.
"Ready...... Begin! The assistant director directed the shooting.
"That night, I invited your sister." An incomparably complicated look appeared on Zhou Xiao's face.
Maeda nodded, the scene on the rooftop is actually quite long, and the filming of the front part was completed yesterday, so what needs to be filmed today is actually only the most difficult part left.
Speaking of this scene, Yuko's performance is very difficult, in fact, Zhou Xiao's performance is not simple, you must know that this is his confession, and he is confessing that he may be an arsonist.
But Zhou Xiao's performance was very good, and the expression on his face didn't look like it was something that a person without professional training could do.
"Invite her to set off fireworks with her...... Your sister didn't come, I waited for hours......" With Zhou Xiao's statement, his expression slowly changed, with a sense of sadness in his memories, and with his lines, Maeda even felt as if the mood of the entire crew had been lowered.
