Chapter 721: Painstaking Casting

"Sorry Youth", how to do the casting of this drama?

The plot of the whole drama has been greatly modified, and there is only one framework left in Gong Jiu's original work, and the settings of many characters have also been modified, but how to change it, Zhou Xiao's script has not been completely determined, because the actors have not been decided, and he hopes that after the actors are settled, he will start to design a plot suitable for their image according to the image positioning of the actors.

This highlights the importance of the right actors in this drama.

So, after the series began to prepare, the first work Zhou Xiao did was to select actors within AKB.

The actors to be selected by Zhou Xiao's brother in the new drama are not the protagonists, but they still make the AKB girls flock to them, especially after realizing the importance of this drama, everyone is even more concerned about who can play it.

Almost all the girls in the acting department are preparing with great interest, and the girls who are not very popular may be more conservative in their preparations, and the girls who are popular and of the right age are the ones who pay the most attention to this matter, and the entire AKB Group has become delicate because of this matter.

The most attentive people are a few girls in the eighth and ninth phases, as well as members such as Matsui Jurina of SKE, especially Jurina, who is just old enough to play a high school student, so the girl has been walking around in front of Zhou Xiao for several days, looking like she wants to attract Zhou Xiao's attention.

The little girl even went to find Mariko, she was very smart and didn't open her mouth to beg Mariko to blow Zhou Xiao's pillow wind, but just had a meal with Mariko so casually, and Mariko understood what the little girl meant.

"Zhou Xiao, you will arrange a role for Zhu Lina, right?" Mariko also listened to Zhu Lina's words, she was still very protective of the little girl, so when Zhu Lina expressed her ambition to participate, Mariko did not try not to affect Zhou Xiao's work as before, but asked Zhou Xiao directly.

Zhou Xiao and Mariko do not shy away from many activities, and occasionally Mariko will even joke that Jurina is her and Zhou Xiao's daughter, ...... The way the three of them get along is indeed a little interesting. When it was the most exaggerated, Zhou Xiao took Mariko Jurina out to play, and when he was in the hotel, he and Mariko entered the room crookedly, and Jurina would get in and pounce between the two people, separating the two like children.

Merely...... It may be nothing for 11-year-old Zhu Lina to do this, but when this girl is fourteen or fifteen years old and still does this, Zhou Xiao is a little embarrassed, and he can only retreat a little embarrassed several times, because Zhou Xiao, who was rubbing in the process of the little girl pounced, will inevitably touch many parts of the girl's body.

"Jurina's words shouldn't be a problem, the position of the female number three is very suitable for her." Zhou Xiao said.

"Really?" Mariko asked.

"Female. The female No. 3 is the student president, and her role is more serious, and her appearance is more suitable for the image of Jurina. Zhou Xiaodao.

"Really? Great, so I don't have to feel guilty! Mariko laughed.

"It's you, aren't you really coming back to play a role?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"I don't need it, I told Tomochin and the others that everyone is already a graduate, so don't come back to spare the graduation gifts of Ah Chan and Yuko." Mariko said.

Yuko and Ah Chan are naturally the most attentive to this drama, and they even participated in the script creation with Zhou Xiao. They are involved in many episodes of the series.

For Yuko, one of the things that resists a lot is that she starred as the heroine of the series.

The two girls also read the original script of this play, in that script, the two heroines are sisters, and the younger sister is the natural protagonist.

Yuko can feel that the identity of this sister is obviously more suitable for Maeda to play than her.

As a result, Zhou Xiao changed the sisterhood of the two girls in the revision of the second version, and made them childhood friends. It is obvious that Zhou Xiao did this in order to make Yuko the heroine.

Maeda may not think too much about it, in her opinion, it is normal for Zhou Xiao to do these things for her own woman, who makes her different from Yuko in terms of identity.

The person who can't get through the psychology is Yuko. Now she has clearly realized that there is indeed a small gap in their popularity at this stage, don't look at the general election, they have divided the winners and losers, but Yuko is very clear. The general election reflects only the choice of a ridiculously small number of people in such a large country who will vote, and the number of votes in the hundreds of thousands may seem like a lot or even more than a party election, but in the whole of Japan it is only a small part, and the difference in votes between them is also the same.

Feeling that her popularity is not as good as Ah Sauce, Yuko feels that this drama is really not suitable for her to be the heroine, the graduation of the two people, people still pay more attention to Maeda, what she is worried about is that she is not good at acting, in case it affects Zhou Xiao's work and the ratings do not meet expectations, she will definitely be criticized.

She is not afraid of acting in bad movies, she is afraid that because of her relationship, everyone will think that Zhou Xiao's department is a bad movie.

Therefore, Yuko initially tried very hard to get Zhou Xiao to change his mind and let her play the second female lead and let Maeda play the first female lead.

Regarding Yuko's suggestion, Zhou Xiao said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to play as the protagonist." ”

"Why?" Yuko asked.

"I'm not a professional actor in the first place, so it might be easier to play against you, but if she is different, let me fall in love in the film...... I'm afraid it's hard for me to do it. Zhou Xiaodao.

"If you can't do it, you can learn, I don't care about this ......," Yuko said.

"Okay, don't think about those things anymore, I'll modify the scene to balance the two of you, the love complex of this show is not an important part in the first place." Zhou Xiaodao.

The casting for the role of "Sorry Youth" began soon.

Jurina and Ono were selected as the least suspenseful thing, and there was no doubt about the entry of the Hirose sisters in the eighth period, and the ama trio was not invited.

In the audition, the character he was most concerned about was the half-race character of Trindel Rinnay in the original work.

There are a lot of mixed races in the AKB, and it is said that the predecessors have Okumanami, and the latter has Murashige Anna, Yoi Kaila, Kinoshita Yukiko and other members. But most of these members' popularity and strength are not enough to become important characters in the series, don't look at the acting skills of Trindall Rinnay in the original work, but even if it is this person's acting skills, the level of ordinary members is difficult to achieve, not necessarily because of their lack of talent, many girls do not have enough time to join the team, and experience is their biggest problem.

Zhou Xiao thought about it several times, and in the end, even Qiu Yuan Cai and this Japanese-Filipino mixed race were considered, but he still didn't finally make up his mind who to choose to play, Qiu Yuan's acting skills are enough. But her image is a little bit in conflict with Zhu Lina's image, which is the most hesitant for Zhou Xiao.

Of course, if you choose Akimoto to add, there will be other changes to the plot.

President Yuina Kuroshima, Aoi Morikawa with a love physique, Reina Trindall, a mixed-race child, Sakae Kawa who is somewhat vulgar, Eriko Toyama with a wide heart and a fat body, and Yumi Hisamatsu with big breasts. This is the main high school girl character of the original "Sorry Youth",

As for the other young woman in the series, the wife of the protagonist's brother, the character played by Shizuka Nakamura in the original version is very suitable for Yona Kojima, and has been booked by Kojima before the series starts.

Six roles. Now the ones who are booked are President Zhu Lina and the big-breasted Ono Mei Reina, and among the remaining actors, Zhou Xiao, a girl with a love physique, thinks that she can be played by Hirose Alice. As the older sister of the Hirose sisters, she is now just the right age to play this role.

And then there is the role of Sakae Kawa in the past.

With Chuanrong's current age and experience, he can't play this role, so this role is inconclusive in the selection of Qian Zhouxiao.

As for the character with a wide heart and a fat body, he can only be found outside of AKB. Even Naomi Watanabe within AZX couldn't play this role because of her age.

Jurina, Ono, Alice Hirose and the chubby girl who will definitely not be looking for in AKB, that is to say, the only thing to look for in the selection is the half-breed and the free-spirited former character of Kawaei.

Of course, when Zhou Xiao chose people, the first thing he looked at was his acting skills and the seriousness of this opportunity, as for the specific role, it was a big deal to modify the plot of the character for the actor.

Outside of AKB, most of the actors in this drama still use the actors he saw in his previous life, on the boys' side, Jennis, who soon got the news, once wanted to insert a few young actors in the company, but speaking of Jennis, Zhou Xiao has a very good relationship with SMAP, and Lan can be regarded as having a certain amount of contact, everyone is more familiar with each other, but he really feels that there is nothing to say about the new generation of Jennis.

The new generation of Denis this "organization" doesn't know who to learn from.,Look at EXILE.,Although it's called a migrant worker.,But at least it's far better than Genesys in terms of masculinity.,The predecessors of SMAP and TOKIO.,Both Kimura and the young master and other members are also very masculine.,But since Lan,,The little three regiments have also begun to take a more delicate route.,And then to the younger "pro-foot" group.,When the "jumping" group, the rest of the whole team is only neutral.

Ryosuke Yamada, Yoo Lee, Yuta Tamakimori, Hiromitsu Kitayama...... You'd be really hard-pressed to find too much masculinity in these men.

Therefore, in this drama, Zhou Xiao abandoned all the actors of Jennis, but in terms of the reason for doing this, in addition to the fact that the men of Jennis are too lacking in masculinity, there is also a reason that he is taking revenge on Jennis, he encountered a big problem before, Jennis did not help, with his relationship with Jennis over the years, it is not surprising that the other party has done this, but now that Zhou Xiao has eased up, Jennis is not easy to find fault with Zhou Xiao, it is true that they did not help, Whether the two sides are related or not, they can't say anything in theory.

Genesys brings together most of Japan's male idols, but if you want to find new actors to film, if you don't limit the company, even if you don't look for Genesys, you can easily pick out a lot of artists of the right age, Zhou Xiao doesn't even need to care too much about this work, anyway, in the new series, the roles of actors other than him have been cut a lot.

The first interview was HKT.

In fact, it is said that it is an interview with HKT, and the only person who is really serious about the interview is the original person.

Most of the current members of HKT have only joined the AKB Group for a few days, and time has not been in a hurry to carve out their future maturity in them, and most of the time the stars look younger than they actually are, so playing a high school student is more suitable for the star to be an eighteen or nineteen-year-old college student, and for the current HKT Lori group, I am afraid that it is only the idea that the original is barely suitable for Zhou Xiao.

Pointing out that Hara's interview ended in failure. This girl's variety show ability is very strong, but if she wants to act in TV series, she still needs at least three to four years of experience, and most female comedy artists will not be able to get the opportunity to star in TV series with their own image and several years of experience in the entertainment industry until they are twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

HKT ends with SKE and NMB, and among the two sub-groups, the most attentive people are Reina Matsui and Miyuki Watanabe, two girls who are under Jurina and Aya Yamamoto respectively, and they know what an opportunity the filming of this TV series is for them.

If he could, Zhou Xiao would not object to giving them two characters, but these two girls are too far from the two characters in his script. Although they are all called Reina, but Reina Matsui is not mixed-race, so you can't really talk nonsense about a Japanese-Korean mixed-race Park Reina or something like that......

And Watanabe Miyuki is also far from Zhou Xiao's unrestrained style in his previous life, if she plays in her own image, it will overlap with Kojima's image, a TV series of about eleven episodes is not long, and there are not many roles, even if the two characters have no rivalry from beginning to end, it is not suitable for repetition.

"If you choose someone, don't you think about Nogizaka 46?" Uncle Inoue asked.

"Nogizaka?"

"It seems that there is a returned child over there?"

"You mean Erika Ikuta?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Yes, I came back from Germany, and my physiognomy talent is quite high-quality. Didn't you tell me she was like Maeda? Uncle Inoue said.

"This kid's words ......" Zhou Xiao smiled bitterly, it is true that Ikuta came back from Germany, but she only lived in Germany for a long time before elementary school, and now she has almost forgotten her foreign language. It's a bit difficult to play a mixed-race role.

"Let's have Nogizaka try it too." Zhou Xiao said.

Speaking of which, Zhou Xiao is quite curious about Nishino, the image of this girl is quieter than Reina Matsui, and Reina played a spicy role in Malu Suka and became an instant hit. The current Nishino ...... How about letting her try that role of Kawaei?

It would be great if she could really throw away her image and liberate her nature.

Thinking of it, he started contacting Nogizaka without saying a word, asking them to take time out to do the audition.

Waited for two days. The girls of Nogizaka finally had time, and Zhou Xiao began to audition the target members one by one.

Nanami Hashimoto and Sayuri Matsumura are the more popular girls in Nogizaka at this stage, but Zhou Xiao interviewed and found that they and most of the girls in the team and even Nishino have not completely gotten rid of their amateur temperament, and there are only three girls in Nogizaka who are really good, Ikoma, Ikuta and Mai Shiraishi.

Ikuta is a natural temperament bonus, and Ikoma and Mai Shiraishi are the existence of Nogizaka who were entrusted with important tasks or outstanding in appearance as soon as the team was established, and if you really want to choose people, I'm afraid you can only choose from these three people.

But after ...... "no, ......" interview, Zhou Xiao shook his head helplessly with the surrounding staff, he didn't want Nogizaka to star, but Nogizaka's current experience in the entertainment industry is strictly the same as HKT, even if they have the impression of Lori in temperament, even if they are the three people in the team who can afford the role the most, they are far from Zhou Xiao's requirements.

"If Nogizaka isn't feasible either, there are only two roads left." The staff said.

That's right, one way is Reina Matsui and Miyuki Watanabe, and the other way is to choose actors from outside.

In hesitation, Miyuki Watanabe called.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, I know that I shouldn't affect your work, but ...... I can also see that you have worked hard for the selection of the series, please don't worry about my thoughts, it's okay if I don't act. ”

……

This girl's cleverness and hard work have to be admired by Zhou Xiao, the effort means that she has been doing her best to exercise her acting skills for this role, even when she was with Zhou Xiao, the little girl actually asked herself to play various roles and then let Zhou Xiao accompany her through the play......

When the girl and Zhou Xiao made this request for the first time, as a man, Zhou Xiao naturally thought of getting lost, this girl wanted to play some role-playing with him to make it more interesting......

So he played with the girl according to his previous years, and the female policeman caught the prisoner and was harassed and played, played on the train, and the female nurse and the patient played...... Just when Zhou Xiao felt that it was time to evolve play to .avi, he noticed that the little girl had already brought pear blossoms and rain.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, I really want this role, you ...... Can you accompany me to perform well? I'm not playing......"

The man suddenly realized that standing in front of him was Miyuki Watanabe, who never existed in his impression.

From the first time they met to the present, what Zhou Xiao saw seemed to be the girl who would show her gums when she smiled at him, and in his mind, there had never been a crying girl.

The sense of contrast can always bring great touch.

It was also because of this incident that Zhou Xiao finally understood the girl's efforts.

She and Reina Matsui, both of them, are working hard for the future.

As for the girl's cleverness.

"Don't worry about my thoughts" or something like that, if Zhou Xiao still can't understand it, don't mix it up. (To be continued......)

PS: October should be the last month of my fixed update, and there are not many plots left in the future, so I want to write slower if I can, so starting today, the update time is a little unguaranteed.
