Chapter 332: Regretful Airi and Mayou
"Ready...... Begin! Zhou Xiao's voice sounded on the set.
The opening scene of "Symphony "Qingren" Dream" originally started in Europe, but the plot of that part is not very important, it is just a part of the plot of the conductor Viera, because Viera in this TV series is a cameo of a really famous conductor, so Zhou Xiao just sent Yuichi Fukuda to Europe with some crew members to shoot in Europe.
And Zhou Xiao filmed with the main members of the crew, which was in Japan.
The first shot of this first scene is a big shot, the crew borrowed the school gate of the famous Tokyo University of Music, and used hundreds of extras to shoot this scene where Tamaki Hiroshi walked into the school gate and had a poisonous tongue in his heart.
Of course, the shots upstairs where others commented on him were all post-made and then cut.
Tamaki Hiroshi's first performance is actually relatively simple, just play handsome, put on an invincible appearance, and disguise yourself as a male god.
Because he had chatted with Takayuki Hattori about the background music of each scene according to the storyboard script before, during the filming, Zhou Xiao would make up the corresponding music in his mind for each scene, and sometimes he would even hum it softly, as if he was sounding Tamaki Hiroshi's performance.
In addition to Hiroshi Tamaki on the first day of filming, because of the relationship between time and renting a music academy, it was all the exterior of the conservatory, including the back of Hiroshi Tamaki who first saw Sister Noda, including the appearance of all the main supporting roles on the first day, so the first scene on the first day, although it was only a play of Chiaki Shinichi, that is, Hiroshi Tamaki walked into the campus, but it was different from the original. Zhou Xiao set up a bigger and longer shot in this first whim. Not only that, in this shot, he also put the famous supporting roles in each film, in this first scene, many supporting roles are just swept by the camera without any lines and close-ups, but such a small change is also a small easter egg, and when the film is all watched and then come back to watch this part, it will give people a feeling that supporting roles will come out every second. Every second is a feeling of surprise.
In addition to this first scene, the appearance of other people is the focus of the next filming of the day, including Eita, Mizukawa Asami, Saeko and other characters will appear one by one, through the series of Guò Naoto Takenaka, each with a small paragraph to introduce their own character and role. Therefore, the filming of this day almost unanimously traveled to the entire music university, first filming Saeko in this classroom, then filming Eita in another classroom, and finally filming Keisuke Koide in another classroom...... Especially when I first met the scene in the wild trees. Although Tamaki Hiroshi only watched one of her backs, with the sunset at that time, the warm sunlight shining in from the window, and the lens of coating the girl with a layer of warm tones and brilliance, can be regarded as a small amazing feature in the first episode.
The first day of filming was done at the Conservatory. At the end of the day, most of the crew will finish their work and go to rest. Only the people in the props team can't completely end it, Zhou Xiao took the group back to the studio and began to prepare for the indoor scene that will be filmed tomorrow.
This indoor scene mainly refers to the two rooms of the hero and heroine and a scene on the balcony shared by the two, among the three scenes, the actor's room is easy to arrange, and you can get a good exquisite room, the key is the problem of the heroine's room in the wild tree and the scenery on the balcony, these two sets are to arrange a lot of props and garbage at the beginning, and the placement of these props and garbage is not a problem, the problem is that these things must be put away during shooting, when the picture of the garbage room is finished, You need to clean the room right away.
For investors, time and money can be saved, such as this garbage room, it stands to reason that after filming the garbage room, you can start shooting again by finding a group of people to clean it up, but in order to save money and time, especially the remaining time for shooting, Zhou Xiao took the props team to carefully arrange the location of each prop garbage and the connection between each other, and when it came time to shoot, Tamaki Hong only symbolically picked up part of the props, and the rest of the things were actually connected outside the camera. I waited for the shooting to finish and pulled them all away, so that the room was almost instantly restored to a very clean state.
After finishing the props work with the crew, Zhou Xiao, who had worked all day, was finally able to return home to rest, originally he didn't need to do these jobs himself, but there was no way, assistant director Yuichi Fukuda took part of the crew to Europe, and Zhou Xiao couldn't believe 100% of what the props made for his storyboard script, so he had to be busy himself.
Zhou Xiao, who is not only an investor, but also a screenwriter and director, is doing a lot of things at the same time, because aZx has recruited a lot of people recently, so the crew has also been filled with a lot of newcomers and sent some old people to places where they are needed more, because with these newcomers, Zhou Xiao has done a lot of things.
The night passed quickly, and when he got up the next morning, Zhou Xiao was a little lucky, it was now 7:15 in the morning, and the filming officially started at 8 o'clock, but the actors estimated that they had been up for more than an hour, because they had to go to the set to make up first, especially Naoto Takenaka, who played a foreign conductor, and his complicated makeup must have taken more time to complete.
This kind of emotion only appeared after Zhou Xiao finished filming "Just Loving You", this movie in which he was the protagonist for the first time was just a romance film, and the makeup or something is much simpler than the symphonic "qingren" dream with a lot of comic style, but even so, getting up and putting on makeup a few hours before filming every morning still makes Zhou Xiao think that he has suffered enough, no way, he is a director and not an actor, and the actor is actually accustomed to something, which may be difficult to accept when placed here.
When I went to the set the next day, the actors who were very complete yesterday are now only Ueno Shuri, Tamaki Hiroshi and Naoto Takenaka, and there are only three people in the studio today, and don't look at Naoto Takenaka's makeup for the longest time, his role is only one scene, and the others are more than the rivalry part of the two protagonists.
And the first shot in the opening scene is the picture of Hiroshi Tamaki recalling Europe when he was a child. Sitting in a room in a white shirt that had been tuned to a very dark tone, the light hitting his face. Looking at it from Zhou Xiao's monitor, it is indeed a handsome and outrageous male god.
Today's Tamaki Hiroshi can be said to be his most handsome time, in this film, he washed the immaturity of "Five Boys Splashing in the Water", and his face did not have the folds that could kill flies in the later stage of "Spin Love", when staring at the monitor, Zhou Xiao could almost feel the heartbeat of all the girls behind him, including Ueno Shuli and other staff girls.
The camera is pushed over, and the close-up is aimed at Tamaki's cheek, and a tear slowly flows. This is not that Hiroshi Tamaki really said that tears can shed tears, but the result of what he has been brewing for a long time.
Keeping the camera on the tears until they slid down his cheeks, Zhou Xiao finally shouted: "Cut!" Well done, this is over! ”
On the whole, the filming of the first two episodes of "Symphonic "Qingren" Dream was relatively easy, because these two episodes did not have any big scenes that required a long time to prepare, although there were also a lot of exterior scenes, but the filming at the University of Music was still very smooth. This is also normal, the extras found by the crew and the students who agreed to appear on the scene are basically those who are very familiar with the camera, and the help of these people to the crew during filming is incomparable to those ordinary people.
Time flies quickly, summer has come to an end, and after October, it will enter the last Japanese drama season of the 2oo4 year. Before that. Zhou Xiao's crew has finished filming the first two episodes of "Symphony "Qingren" Dream, and the filming of the third episode has also entered the final part, and on the TV station, the first episode of the film is about to start broadcasting.
Of course, since it's this time. Zhou Xiao's movie is finally about to be released.
Just like before, this time Zhou Xiao's movie. His meals, such as Tsuyoshi Mura and his wife, such as Airi Suzuki and Mayu Watanabe, were not absent from the film's sub-public screening.
It's just that this time, Xiao Airi and Xiao Mayou regretted it......
The opening scene of the movie is very beautiful, full of rhythmic switching, bright picture, bright overall shots to death, and the comeaway of Mr. Cang, although it has been promoted as a tragedy, but seeing such an opening, it can't help but make people doubt the true attributes of this movie, such a rhythm, no matter how you look at it, it is also a happy entertainment film.
But soon, decadence swept in. Drinking, scarred men, police cars and covered corpses by the riverbank, the breakup of the cold room in the middle of a decadent room, the crowd in the movie theater, this seems not to be some fast-paced happy movie, but a ...... A decadent movie that seems to be exaggerated?
And with the appearance of Hiroshi Tamaki, people began to wonder, will he be the protagonist of this movie? Because he appeared the most in the opening. You must know that Zhou Xiao and Yumu Hong's Yuejiu is about to be broadcast, is it possible that these two people have cooperated twice in a row?
But soon, this speculation was overturned, and with the magnificent music, the figure of a little girl and her singing voice gradually appeared in the ears of the applicants and the audience.
"Matsuko!" A man's shout made the girl turn her head and ...... It's an exaggerated big grimace that can laugh at the dead.
After this grimace, the movie begins.
Xiao Airi and Xiao Mayu are logically not suitable for this movie, because this movie is classified as PG-12 in Japan, not that children under the age of 12 can't watch it, but for children of this age, they need to be accompanied by their parents to watch it in the cinema. And they can't fully understand such a movie, but they can understand the tragedy of the movie, especially Songzi's hurt again and again, which makes them feel very unacceptable.
And by their side, the two mothers who took them to watch this movie together couldn't stand it even more, both mothers were people who had seen Zhou Xiao, and women were always very emotional, when these two mothers watched the sad plot in the movie, and then thought of what kind of sadness and pain Zhou Xiao had in the mind of a man like Zhou Xiao, the mothers' heartstrings were completely broken.
Occasionally, in the space above the two little girls, the two mothers will look at each other, and both parties can see a very special love in each other's eyes: "It's really a good film, Zhou Xiao, this kid doesn't only do market-oriented things, and obscene variety shows like "Divine Tongue", if he calms down, he can also make this kind of touching film." ”
Two mothers would love a movie like this, but not two little girls, when the movie ends. When the four of them came out of the theater, both girls' eyes were red. They sobbed and complained about a certain director: "Brother Zhou Xiao is the most annoying, what a broken movie, don't watch it again!" ”
And the two mothers looked at each other and smiled tacitly, when this movie was screened, there were outrageously few audiences under the age of 12 in the theater, if it weren't for the two little girls who worshipped Zhou Xiao as a god, they would never take the two girls to watch it, now after watching it. The hearts of the two little girls may only be regret for a while.
However, children are often very forgetful, and now the girls' regrets will disappear soon, especially when the two girls see Zhou Xiao again, the expectation of Zhou Xiao may soon make them forget that they are gritting their teeth at him now.
Whether the two girls, Airi and Mayou, like this movie or not, is naturally not the point, maybe only the mothers of the two girls and Zhou Xiao will be more concerned, as for the more important, of course, it is the perception of other people.
When a director becomes popular. Its box office appeal is often stronger than that of stars, and many times even if the director makes a bad movie, many people who like the director have to go to the cinema to see what the film is rotten into, unless the director makes several bad movies in a row, so that its reputation can be ruined.
For Zhou Xiao, the previous work "Just Loving You" is a clear example. is obviously a relatively ordinary movie, but because of Zhou Xiao's fame, it sold nearly 100 million US dollars at the box office, which is more than double that of "Just Loving You" in Zhou Xiao's history. It must also be admitted that it has a very big relationship with Zhou Xiao's fame, if it weren't for Zhou Xiao's absolute appeal. If you also make reasonable use of your fame to make the film a trendy topic, this film will not be able to achieve such a great result anyway.
Of course, the word-of-mouth is very good, but the overall evaluation of the film "Just Loving You" is not high, in the final analysis, this is just a romance film with an ordinary plot, the plot is very cliché, and it can be praised by the audience, and 90% of the reason is on the star.
Now it's time for "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko", and the situation is different from the previous movie.
Compared with the previous film that sold a lot of box office by selling stars, this movie with rich connotations will definitely be more loved by critics, as for the audience, who like this movie, the people who can watch it are likely not as high as the previous movie, and the box office statistics of aZx in the first week of the movie also confirmed this prediction, the box office of 1.96 billion is actually very high, but if you look at the box office curve of this week, the box office of 5 to 600 million per day in the first two days of the movie is very scary, But the box office of the next five days is only the sum of these two days, and although this does not rule out the weekend factor of the first two days, this curve still proves that the film really looks a little lacking in stamina.
Zhou Xiao himself estimated that even if he counted the star effect he brought, this new "The Life of the Disgusted Pine Nut" would get a box office of about 6 billion at most, although the box office was relatively low, but the evaluation after the movie began to be released was very good, and various critics compared this movie with Zhou Xiao's first two movies.
Zhou Xiao's first two films, "A Liter of Tears" describes the preciousness of life, and "JuRI" is a respect for life, and then after a period of confusion, Zhou Xiao finally found himself in this movie, "The Life of the Disgusted Pine Nut" This movie is a film with extraordinary depth, describing the concept of "born as a human, I'm sorry", this ideological sublimation just reflects Zhou Xiao, a young man's pursuit of life and his gradual maturity.
There are a lot of comments like this, maybe the previous movie set off the good of this movie, when the movie was released, the filmmakers praised Zhou Xiao has not stopped, and even some filmmakers shouted out that Zhou Xiao wanted Zhou Xiao to take over Kitano Takeshi, it is true that Zhou Xiao won the Oscar that Kitano Takeshi had not won, but even so, no one would think that Zhou Xiao could be more powerful than Kitano Takeshi before, first of all, the movie "JuRI" was too American, although the Japanese were excited that this movie won the Oscar, But if you really ask their hearts, they may not have much resonance with this movie.
After Zhou Xiao filmed "Just Loving You", the audience had a feeling that Zhou Xiao had finally shown his original form, but only half a year later, when Zhou Xiaoxin's play was released, everyone saw that the movie "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" is a thorough Japanese movie, and Zhou Xiao, who can make such a work, can really take over Takeshi Kitano's class!
With all kinds of sayings, two weeks after the release of Zhou Xiao's movie, it finally got the box office of about 4o billion for this movie in the previous life, and it will take about two weeks for the release in Japan, and at the same time, outside of Japan, the movie has finally begun to be released!
I have to admit that another milestone role of the movie "Just Loving You" is to help Zhou Xiao successfully open the market in Southeast Asia!
ps: Airi also had an affair with Chinese students back then, although it seemed to be just an ordinary relationship, Japanese female idols, is there only a white lotus left in peach grass red, hahahahaha......
