Chapter 404: Nervous Maeda

"Maeda, it's not right for you to look like xiàn here, it's too sad for you to look like xiàn." Before the official start of filming, Zhou Xiao asked Maeda to perform the content of the script several times, and proposed her own construction according to her table.

Maybe it's because of the relationship with Zhou Xiao for the first time, Maeda's cousin is very nervous, in fact, her acting skills, it's no problem to play a role with only a few shots and lines, but maybe it's because of the nervousness, the girl's cousin is always a little bit less interesting.

Zhou Xiao stopped filming and pulled Maeda to start talking, while at the same time, several leading actors, including Yamazaki Nu and Kimoto Masahiro, sat on the seats brought by the assistant and waited for Zhou Xiao to talk to Maeda.

"The character of your character is ...... So at this time your psyche ...... Then your expression should ......"

"Zhou Xiao." A voice sounded next to Zhou Xiao.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiao asked. The person who stopped Zhou Xiao was Ryoko Hirosue, Zhou Xiao looked up at her and asked.

"If you talk like that, it will scare her." Ryoko Hirosue said.

"Scared?" Zhou Xiao turned his head to look, only to find that Maeda was biting her lip and sitting there nervously, her face was blue, and her legs were already trembling.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiao is very strange, she is not scary, she is talking to her very kindly, why does this girl have the same expression as if she is unsubtly ruling her?

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... It's just a bit ...... to think that so many people are waiting. It's kind of ......," Maeda said as if his entire chest was trembling with the resonance.

"This ...... What's in it? Zhou Xiao was a little puzzled, filming is actually like this, many times all the preparations are done, just waiting for a job, this situation is simply normal.

"People are still young, how can they get used to this kind of work? Stinky men just don't understand girls' minds. Ryoko Hirosue said as Maeda spoke, but it sounds like this.

"That'...... This ......" Zhou Xiao also encountered this situation for the first time, and he didn't know what to do.

In fact, there is a reason why Zhou Xiao encountered this situation for the first time. Don't look at it as a small role with only one scene, and only a few sentences of shots and lines, but in a movie with sufficient investment, such scenes are usually played by very professional but not well-known actors, such actors themselves must be able to adjust their status, even if such a role is enabled with actors similar to Maeda, if this situation really occurs, many times it will not be Zhou Xiao's turn to give a lecture, which is a relatively simple part, and Zhou Xiao is more likely to let the assistant director or something talk about the play. It is even possible to simply replace this actor, and only when it is like Maeda now, when the role is not important, but the person is very valued, it is possible for Zhou Xiaolai to personally give a play to a small actor.

Looking at Maeda who was about to cry, Zhou Xiao thought about it and had to say, "Is the set for the next scene ready?" ”

"Ready." The staff member on the side replied.

"Then let's go shoot that first, I'll tell her Maeda's scene at night, and I'll shoot it tomorrow." Zhou Xiao said.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, Maeda has a performance tomorrow......" the staff came over and said.

"Let's be honest. But don't say it's filming me, let's keep it a secret for the time being. Zhou Xiao said.

The news that Maeda came to shoot Zhou Xiao's movie is only known to the crew and AKB members and other industry insiders, and it has not been officially announced, so Cheng Dù still has to keep it secret, but the news can be sent out during filming.

"Need to get the word out?" The staff asked.

"No, I don't. Originally, it wasn't an important role, but you can find someone on 2CH to reveal other information other than the director, such as just a very small supporting role, such as acting in a different prefecture instead of Tokyo. Zhou Xiao said.

"Okay. I understand. The AKB staff member said.

"I'm sorry......" Maeda is still apologizing.

"It's not your fault, it's normal to have this kind of problem." Zhou Xiao comforted the girl, glanced at the AKB staff who came with Maeda, and then took the crew to the next filming location.

His glance was also meaningful. It's my business to film and talk about drama, you have done a good job of this girl's psychological construction for me, and when I see her again at night, it will be wrong if she is still like this.

After this day, Zhou Xiao didn't see the girl again, it stands to reason that with such a good opportunity, the girl should go all out to observe the filming work, but today she encountered this kind of trouble, it seems that she was pulled down by the AKB staff to do psychological construction.

The day's filming passed quickly, and today's filming work, except for the small trouble caused by Maeda, was still very smooth at other times, the actors entered the state quickly, and the rest of the crew's work was also very smooth, and the day's filming work was quickly completed without any flaws.

After the filming was completed, Ryoko Hirosue stopped Zhou Xiao and said: "That kid looks worried, don't talk too seriously, girl, very sensitive." ”

"Don't worry, I won't do that." Zhou Xiao said.

"Of course, I also believe that Zhou Xiao is a gentle boy, but I'm a little worried that your occasional words may make her blame herself."

"Oh? Sister Ryoko seems to be very experienced when she hears this? Zhou Xiao asked.

"It's not experience, but I've been worried about it before, and I always suspect that I'm affecting the filming progress, and no one told me about it at the time, so I've been nervous." Ryoko Hirosue said.

"Okay, I see, I'll talk to her properly." Zhou Xiao said.

Zhou Xiao returned to the hotel after work, and after arriving at the hotel, he made an appointment with Maeda on the phone, and the two met in the hotel's restaurant.

"Director!" Maeda looked no different from the daytime, still very nervous and uncomfortable.

"Sit down." Zhou Xiao said.

After Maeda sat down, Zhou Xiao also put down the script he was reading before, and said to the girl: "I won't say polite words, in fact, if you want to ask the original intention, I don't worry about your problem at all, in my heart, you can definitely grow enough to control this role, so I'm actually quite surprised." Look at how uncomfortable you look now. ”

Maeda is actually really suitable for being a center or being noticed like this, when the A2 performance was performing, Maeda got the center position of the unit, and as a result, she cried on the stage during the performance, because she really hated that position at the time, but after a long time, gradually Maeda has become accustomed to that position, not only used to that position, but Maeda is also used to the heavy attacks and slander that ensued after standing in that position.

Someone once joked that the reason why Maeda is now able to stand calmly in that position. It's because she's short-sighted, and she can't see the anti in the audience at all, of course it's impossible to say this, but Maeda is really powerful and respectable, but it's true, although she once hated this position, she can still stand in this position very well deserved and taken for granted, and ignore so many slanders against her, this alone is very powerful.

Such Maeda. In Zhou Xiao's opinion, the current nervousness and helplessness are just that the girl can't think about it for a while, and she will soon get used to it.

"I ...... I just felt like so many people were waiting for me, so I was nervous. Maeda said.

"You should know that this is the norm in filmmaking, right? It's normal for an actor to wait for other work to be done while filming. Zhou Xiao said.

"I know, but when this man is me. It's still a little ...... "Maeda looks really troubled."

"Since that's the case, I can only try not to affect the filming of the whole drama, let's practice your scene to the best tonight." Zhou Xiao said.

"No, it's too much of a disruption to your rest. You've been working all day long. "Maeda Road.

"If you really think so, let's just practice the trick quickly, although I am the director. But it is also the person who chose you, and I must be responsible for your watch. Zhou Xiao said.

It's okay to say something else, as soon as he said this, Zhou Xiao found that Maeda actually started to get nervous again.

"Don't don't, don't be nervous, it's okay, there's still a lot of time, don't you know, you've been an artist for a long time, the most powerful thing is that you can not sleep at all for a day or two in a row, tonight, we have absolutely enough time, practice slowly, tonight, Brother Zhou Xiao is your personal acting teacher." Zhou Xiao said very gently.

Maeda's face had no other expression than flattery.

"I ...... I'll definitely play it well! We will not disappoint you! Maeda said as if he was trying his best.

"I'm sure you'll be able to do it, too." Zhou Xiao looked at Maeda and said.

said that he wanted to practice his scene all night, but Zhou Xiao and Maeda couldn't really practice all night, this night, when Zhou Xiao returned to his room, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the morning, and after more than 3 hours of contact, Maeda's cousin was finally enough to meet Zhou Xiao's requirements.

In fact, Maeda's acting skills are enough to appear in a short scene, and most of Zhou Xiao and Maeda spent most of their time overcoming the girl's nervousness and stiffness.

To overcome the nervousness, the best way is, of course, to get Maeda used to Zhou Xiao and get used to getting along with big stars, so most of the time in Maeda's room this day was spent chatting between the two.

Zhou Xiao in his previous life did not push Atsuko Maeda, his understanding of the girl in front of him was not particularly deep, but even if he only knew the girl's birthday on July 10, it was enough to make her very excited, this is Zhou Xiao's brother, there are so many girls in the group, and he is the only one who knows his birthday so clearly, he is so flattered.

In addition to talking about birthdays, Zhou Xiao talked a lot about himself with the girl, followed Uncle Inoue to work in a TV station before his debut, his first movie, and his various "dreams" for AKB, Maeda found that Zhou Xiao didn't look like a superstar, but like a ...... Like your own meal? From Zhou Xiao's eyes, Maeda could see a very familiar look, which was exactly the same as the rice that came to see his performance.

And in the chat, too, Zhou Xiao doesn't seem to be interested in Maeda's hard work, what he is interested in is the relationship between the members, what is the relationship between Takahashi and Nakanishi Rina now, is there any connection between Hoshino and Ayumi Ochii, who has graduated, the relationship between Mai Oshima and Yuko Oshima and something like that, such a mentality, what is the difference between a simple AKB rice?

Chatting with acting training, a few hours later. Maeda has completely calmed down, she no longer regards Zhou Xiao as that big star, but really as an older brother, and a somewhat obscene otaku brother image, it can be said that some kind of Cheng dù, what Maeda knows now is actually Zhou Xiao in his previous life, even if he has traveled through seven years, even if he has done so many things in the past seven years. But he still hasn't forgotten Zhou Xiao as an ordinary person.

In fact, it is this Zhou Xiao who has been supporting him, so that he established AKB, if in the past few years, Zhou Xiao's nature has changed completely, he is afraid that he would have already "hunted" the large number of actresses and other female idols who are much more beautiful and cute than the current AKB, with his status and the money he earns, I am afraid that he does not need to guard Akihabara at all. Carefully built this AKB, which is still like an ugly duckling.

Early the next morning, Maeda arrived at the dressing room early as usual to prepare, and what happened yesterday happened again. The difference is only here with Ryoko Hirosue, and when she saw Maeda again, she ran over and asked, "How is it, have you practiced well?" Zhou Xiao didn't kill you last night, right? ”

"Nope. Brother Zhou Xiao is very gentle, I have never seen such a gentle star. Maeda waved her hand, and she suddenly noticed. Ryoko Hirosue and Zhou Xiao in the crew are so good to themselves, it would be great if the two of them could be together.

After a while, Zhou Xiao also came, and today Zhou Xiao came a little later than yesterday, and after he came, he didn't say much, and said directly to the crew: "Then let's start?" ”

took the crew to the filming location, and the staff began to prepare for filming, and today Zhou Xiao and Maeda didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened to the two of them.

After getting ready, Zhou Xiao sat in front of the monitor and said: "Today's filming is the part that was prepared yesterday, everyone should know very well what to shoot, and the actors are also in place, so let's almost start." ”

The director didn't say anything, and the others naturally didn't say anything, and a group of people began to prepare silently before the start of filming, and Maeda seemed to be more comfortable with Zhou Xiao's state of not treating her particularly now, she was by Ryoko Hirosue's side, and she was seriously preparing to start, until the staff sent a signal that filming could start.

"So...... Let's go. Zhou Xiao commanded.

Maeda walked to his place, the other actors were also ready, Zhou Xiao stared at the monitor, and the staff on the side shouted: "The first act of the Xth scene of "The Undertaker", start filming!" ”

Zhou Xiao seems to have done a very successful job of Maeda's work, today's Maeda's watch is much better than yesterday, Maeda's watch is good, the speed of the whole filming is a lot faster, and the speed is faster, after seeing Maeda's new spirit, the morale of the entire crew has also risen, and the filming work originally scheduled for a whole day has basically ended at more than two o'clock in the afternoon, after filming the last shot, Zhou Xiao said: "Thank you very much today, It was supposed to be done yesterday and has been delayed today, thank you. ”

Hearing Zhou Xiao say this, Maeda also stood up and said, "Because I caused everyone's time to waste, it's really troublesome for everyone." ”

So, Atsuko Maeda's one-day change to two-day Zhou Xiao's crew travelogue ended like this, after filming her own part, Maeda took the car back to Tokyo that night, she still has performance work to do tomorrow, the company will not leave her too much time to observe and shoot in the crew, and Zhou Xiao doesn't seem to care about Maeda, and he didn't send her that night, it seems that Maeda is really an extra actor who came to the crew to shoot a scene.

It wasn't until a few days later that the filming of "The Undertaker" came to an end, and Zhou Xiao finally returned to Tokyo again.

After filming, he returned to Tokyo, and since last year, it has become a habitual job for Zhou Xiao to return to the theater as soon as possible to watch the girls' practice and performance that day, which can no longer be regarded as work, but something that Zhou Xiao must do and get used to.

Today's performance happened to be the performance of Group A, and the girls were very happy to see Zhou Xiao coming, and they greeted Zhou Xiao one after another, and the same is true for Maeda, the two of them don't seem to have anything special, a few days after returning from Zhou Xiao's crew, Maeda was caught by the girls and asked a lot of questions about Zhou Xiao's movie, limited to confidentiality reasons, Maeda is not easy to say too carefully, as for chatting with Zhou Xiao and the two of them in his room for several hours, this kind of thing can't be said, There are very few girls in the AKB who don't like their brother who makes the people, and Maeda feels that if he says it, he may be hated by other girls and even isolate himself.

Then in the evening, the performance began.

Zhou Xiao's appearance in the theater will no longer surprise the fans, calmly walked to the meals, Zhou Xiao was ready to start watching the performance with great interest, the difference between him and ordinary fans is that after the performance, he can go directly to the backstage of the theater, and the fans can only leave with the aftertaste.

In fact, most of the time, Zhou Xiao will not go backstage after the AKB performance, the girls are very beautiful, and they will sweat after the performance, most of the time they will immediately go into the backstage bathroom to take a bath, at this time, it is a little inappropriate for Zhou Xiao to break in, but today, this is not important, the most important thing today is what happened when Zhou Xiao performed in AKB.

He had to make a deal with Maeda. (To be continued......)
