Chapter 307: Thirty-year-old Masato Sakai

There is no doubt that Zhou Xiao has little interest in going to college, because he doesn't need a diploma at all in the direction of making money now, and going to college has little effect on him, but the role is attributed to the role, interest is one thing, fun is not fun on the other hand, such as this agreement with Okamura, Zhou Xiao thought about it, if the show really starts to make zuò like this in the future, when the show is interspersed with some pictures of the two of them studying hard, if it is broadcast in February or March next year, with high school students taking the university exam, It should also get a lot of social attention for a while.

And what he paid here, if he didn't really want to go to college, he just studied casually, and then he could get a score casually, anyway, he was a high school student with a deviation of 47 that year, and no one would expect much from him. And if he learns carefully, Zhou Xiao estimates that he is not without opportunities.

The coursework in Japanese high schools should be easier than in China, and liberal arts and science, Zhou Xiao each has two mountains, one is mathematics, the other is Japanese history and liberal arts, mathematics Zhou Xiao has not been in contact for many years, and the history and liberal arts of Japanese high schools only exist in memory.

"If you calculate it like this, it doesn't seem to be easy......" Zhou Xiao thought.

After visiting three universities with Okamura, Zhou Xiao returned home and first learned about what subjects are required to take the university entrance examination in Japan.

The Japanese college entrance examination usually takes two days to take the exam, the first day is the geography and history of the comprehensive, Chinese and foreign language three, of which geography and history 200 points, Chinese 200 points, foreign language 200 points, the bad news is geography and history Chinese Zhou Xiao has to learn a lot of Japan-related content and his head of the memory of Japan Zhou Xiao is almost completely gone, the good news is that foreign languages in addition to English can also choose Chinese and Korean......

On the second day, I took the science exam, including physics, chemistry, biology, and of course, mathematics. is his final grade, and this result, the admission of certain departments of some universities only depends on certain subjects, but Zhou Xiao estimates that the three universities he chose should not be so easy, and if he wants to be admitted to the disciplines of this university, I am afraid that several courses will be added together to meet the requirements.

"Why didn't you say you were admitted to Hosei University!" The person who said this was Yuko Ogura, after the scandal between Zhou Xiao and Yuko Ogura, the girl once moved out of Zhou Xiao's apartment, and when the rumors passed, she moved back not long after. She was very excited to hear that Zhou Xiao was going to take the university entrance examination, but after careful questioning, she learned that Zhou Xiao was only going to be admitted to the three excellent universities that he had little chance of, which made Ogura Yuko very unhappy, because she was studying at Hosei University in Japan, and she originally thought that she could be Zhou Xiao's senior sister, but she couldn't, which made the flame that had just ignited in her chest quickly extinguished.

"I didn't have the time or opportunity to attend classes even if I got in, it was just a project. Are you serious? Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"But people just want to take lessons with you." Yuko Ogura said coquettishly.

"Then why don't I go to your school and get an audit card?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Hmph, I don't believe you dare to do that." Yuko Ogura said that she really didn't believe it, if Zhou Xiao really did this. It's not tantamount to admitting his relationship with Yuko Ogura, he would never do such a thing.

"Well, I'm also for you, anyway, I'm a man. It doesn't matter if it's public or not. Zhou Xiao grabbed Yuko Ogura's head and said.

However, when he said this to Yuko Ogura, Zhou Xiao remembered one thing, if he wanted to be admitted to university. There is no doubt that Yuko Ogura will be of great help to him, the girl's academic performance is actually quite good, and if she teaches her, she may improve her studies a lot.

"I don't know about Todai and Waseda, but if it's Keio, I think you still have a chance." Yuko Ogura said suddenly.

"Oh? Keio? Zhou Xiao was surprised.

"Yes, there is a department in Keio that specializes in collecting people in the entertainment industry, but the money is just a little more." Yuko Ogura said.

"Even in this department, the required deviation value is not low, right?" Zhou Xiao asked. He remembered that there were indeed many artists in this department of Keio in the later generations, and Miyu Takeuchi of AKB, Airi Suzuki, who had been accepted into his company by Zhou Xiao, were all students of this department.

"I didn't ask in particular, I guess it's about 6o to 65." Yuko Ogura said.

"This number is not something I can do casually...... Zhou Xiao said.

"Who told you to take this job, study hard with peace of mind." Yuko Ogura patted Zhou Xiaodao.

Participating in this kind of variety show planning is not Zhou Xiao's main job, but for him, the 99 and Tunnel Duo, London Boots, and the Death Squad After the Rain, he can be on the shows of these four groups of artists, and the program team will try to help when they encounter difficulties, because he knows that these four groups of artists will have a great time dominating Japanese TV prime-time variety shows in the next ten years.

Generally speaking, Zhou Xiao divides variety shows into two categories, one is like these four groups of artists doing shows, the main purpose of the show is to rely on the ability of these four groups of artists to make a good show, and the show can reflect their ability well.

In addition, there is a kind of program, the main body of which is the production of Zuò personnel rather than MC hosts, such as horizontal legal consultation offices, later ITTEQ and other programs, the main body of which is planning rather than hosting, so such programs either MC and main actors will often change, or to the project that has been completed, the studio mainly looks at VTR, the difference between the two is very obvious.

However, it should be noted that although the latter does not seem to have much to do with the MC, the main purpose of the program is grasped by the system zuò group, but relatively speaking, in fact, the latter's requirements for the host are not bad, because the host of the former often participates in the program system, and the host will have a lot of ideas in the process, but the latter, the host often does not participate in the system, and after arriving, he will watch the vtr and script, and he can really say something and make everyone laugh, which is a very deep skill.

Zhou Xiao and his "Flickering Journey" are also obviously the former, and in the form of the latter, he doesn't have the time or energy to do too much.

Variety shows, especially participating in other people's variety shows, are not the most important thing on Zhou Xiao's side, the most important thing is his own work, such as the preparation of movies.

In the movie "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko", Zhou Xiao seems that the most important work in the preparation period should be the selection of actors, except for Miki Nakatani. Although the other roles have never been able to challenge Miki Nakatani's role from beginning to end, it is precisely because of this that the arrangement of movie roles is more important, because although each of those supporting roles is not long, everyone's role also requires acting skills, and it is not just a casual extra.

The first two people Zhou Xiao found were Shuri Ueno and Hiroshi Tamaki.

Some time ago, Zhou Xiao met the two and assigned them a task, let them practice something related to classical music and prepare to play the Yue Jiu that he might direct, this time Zhou Xiao made a new movie, and he planned and wanted to give each of them a role. Although it is not the protagonist, it is very helpful for them to be able to play under their own hands, and it will be very helpful for both parties to become familiar with each other and cooperate with each other in the future.

As for the roles of the two, Zhou Xiao remembered that Tamaki Hiroshi played Matsuko's nephew, that is, the tandem role played by Eita originally, and as for Ueno Shuri, she played Matsuko's frail sister at such a young age.

In addition to these. Matsuko's first male role is a role that Zhou Xiao is more worried about, originally this role was played by Miyato Kankuro, a strongman in the Japanese drama circle who played a cameo role in a writer who admires Osamu Dazai very much.

Gong Jiu Zhou Xiao didn't know him, he was originally thinking about looking for Qiu Yuankang to play. But if you think about it carefully, it's no problem for Yasushi Akimoto to play a fat house or something, and he plays a young writer who is talented and even has difficulty guaranteeing food and clothing, and occasionally comes to two hysterical domestic violence. His fat-headed, big-eared, and kind face is not suitable. Zhou Xiao thought about it, if it wasn't for Yasu Akimoto, who would be more suitable for this character? Skinny words. Comprehensive age, Jun Tamura is okay, but the fox-like appearance has no intersection with the literary youth, and the audience may be very dramatic after watching it.

In addition to Tamura Jun, there are few other people Zhou Xiao knows who have the temperament of a writer, which makes Zhou Xiao a little regretful, it would be good if he participated in more gatherings in the literary circle, even if he can't invite Gong Jiu at that time, he can invite Gong Qi Gong Ba.

Of course, in addition to Gong Jiu, Gong Jiu's other writer friend, Songzi's second man, of course, is the troupe, this is one of the few people Zhou Xiao knows, there are few people left, there are people with literary knowledge, don't look at him as a funny artist, but the troupe is also very talented, that "Blooming in the Shadow" is a very good work whether it is a novel or an adapted movie, of course, he has not written this work yet......

As for Matsuko's younger brother, of course, Kagawa Teruyuki is more suitable, as for ...... Kindness? Wait a minute.

Zhou Xiao suddenly thought of a possibility, when he thought of Kagawa Teruyuki, he would think of Owada, and if he thought of Owada, he would think of Owada Nanna, no, when he thought of Owada, he would think of Hanzawa Naoki, and then he would think of Sakai Masato, if it was Sakai Masato, he would now be 3o years old and play the role of a neurotic writer...... Shouldn't there be any problem, right?

Sakai Masato, an actor who is almost unknown to everyone ten years later, is also a legend not inferior to Ariyoshi Hiroyuki, who was admitted to the Waseda Literature Faculty of Chinese Literature Major, dropped out of school in 94 and insisted on becoming an actor, (Being able to drop out of Waseda is really a warrior!) His parents naturally strongly opposed it when they heard about it, but what about the disagreement of his parents for a guy who dropped out of a university of this level, Masato Sakai, who joined the firm and started his career as an actor, did not succeed immediately, but continued to work hard at the bottom, and this hard work was seven years.

It wasn't until 2oo1 that he finally got a supporting role in a morning drama, so that he at least had his own place, and even after being seen by his parents, he called to repair the relationship between the two parties.

Of course, a supporting role is not enough, and Masato Sakai really entered the audience's field of vision, and it stands to reason that it should be on the Taiga drama "Shinsengumi" that will be broadcast early next year, although there he still plays a supporting role, but this time he finally seized the opportunity.

Zhou Xiao's movie may not be released at the beginning of next year, but he doesn't care, for him, as long as he can be invited before Sakai Masato becomes famous, it should be a great care and charcoal for Sakai Masato's side.

After all, the current Sakai Masato may still be working part-time while taking over the Taiga drama.

Sakai Masato's Tanabe office is also a very good office in Japan, and there are many quite famous artists under it, both Tamori and Sakai Masasho were from this office, Zhou Xiao found someone to contact the office, and it was easy to find Sakai Masato.

Thirty-year-old Masato Sakai is very modest and cautious. Originally, both of them had already sat down, but when Zhou Xiao handed over the script, he still stood up, put his legs together, and took the script with both hands while bowing at 90 degrees, which really looked like a polite and square man in a traditional Japanese drama.

"If Mr. Sakai had been so polite, he might not have been suitable for the role in my film......" Zhou Xiao said half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, director, I can also go crazy." Sakai Masato hurriedly said, in fact, of course Zhou Xiao knew that the slut lawyer he played in "1ega1high" was very crazy. This is the confidence of Zhou Xiao to invite him to play this role.

"Then I'll tell you a scene for you to try, you think you are a very talented and talented writer, but you are now in a state of untalented, you have a girlfriend, this woman is obedient and bullied by you very badly, but you undoubtedly love her in your heart, at this time you beat her for some things, and then feel very guilty, and finally you slam the door and leave." Zhou Xiao said.

After listening to Zhou Xiao's words, Sakai Masato thought about it for a while and asked, "That is to say." Is that kind of mental state of being guilty and unwilling to admit it, caring but unwilling to admit it? ”

"It's up to you to figure out how it goes." Zhou Xiao said that his current Sakai Masato self-confidence seemed to be a little insufficient, otherwise he would not have asked such a question.

Sakai Masato put down the drama and got up. He looked around very stiffly, found a slightly larger space, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and yelled at the floor that seemed to be empty. While yelling and whipping something, Zhou Xiao's agent Zhongmaru was startled, but Zhou Xiao's own reaction was okay. He had seen the madness of Masato Sakai and guessed that he would start his own show.

The place where a few people chatted was actually Zhou Xiao's office, and many people outside were startled when Sakai Masato's voice sounded, but no one came in to inquire about the situation, and the occasional audition sound in Zhou Xiao's office was almost the norm for azx, but Sakai Masato's sudden voice was a little scary.

Zhou Xiao stared at Sakai Masato's expression tightly, and couldn't help but admire in his heart while looking at Zhou Xiao, although he is not famous now, but Sakai Masato's expression is already quite amazing, the confused and painful expression and movements, it seems that it is really the writer who is painful and talented, as for comparing with the performer of the original role? Although Gong Jiu also has the characteristics of an artist, acting as a writer can be regarded as acting in his true colors, can he compare professionally with non-professional? Gong Jiu's performance in the original version is actually very good, but it is far from Sakai Masato, even the current Sakai Masato.

"Good! cut! After Sakai Masato's performance reached a certain level, Zhou Xiao stopped him.

And at the same time as Zhou Xiao shouted cut, Sakai Masato, who had been hysterical just now and seemed to be unable to stop at all, suddenly retracted, and the whole person's temperament immediately took a 180-degree turn, and once again regained the modesty and prudence when they first met.

"Bang bang." Zhou Xiao clapped his hands twice and said: "It's amazing, it's a perfect performance, I'm really glad I found you now, I originally thought that this role was not suitable for you, but now it seems that no matter what role you can control." ”

After determining Sakai Masato, other invitations are much simpler, especially the invitations of several funny artists, Takeyama Takafan is often canceled after many years and says that he is a big actor, which also proves that he still has a certain level of acting and hopes to play a role, Kayoko Okubo is now a fixed team member of the 99 variety show, and it is very convenient to invite with Takeda Shinji, as for the troupe, Zhou Xiao has a good relationship with several artists of Ota Zuò, and everyone has come out to eat together, It's just as simple to be invited to do so.

This also proves one thing, that is, there is indeed a circle in a place like the entertainment industry, like this film, the actors invited in it are obviously members of almost the circle, Takafan Takeyama is Sunmu's private C, Okubo is a human house, and the troupe is Ota's, as for the artists from the Kansai Department, Zhou Xiao has not shown up......

As for Zhou Xiao's plan to let Yasushi Akimoto play a cameo role...... After he asked Qiu Yuanyasu, he was not so enthusiastic, because he hadn't appeared before, Qiu Yuanyasu still cared about his image, of course it was impossible to make a cameo like Zhou Xiao in "Kung Fu", not even some arrogant roles, Qiu Yuanyasu meant that he didn't even want to change his suit if he could, even if he didn't play himself, he had to play a role in a suit......

Regarding this kind of request to care about his image to the point that he is even a little funny, Zhou Xiao just wants to say sincerely: "My Oscar-winning director's work, how many people desperately want to get it, you don't want to make a cameo, the ghost cares about you!" (To be continued......)
