The weekend was coming quickly, and early in the morning, Jinguji appeared downstairs in Qiu Yang's apartment as promised to pick him up for the first preparatory meeting for the movie.

"I said, aren't you the representative of the investor this time, why don't you pick me up with someone else? Planning to do both? ”

Sitting in the car of Jingu Temple, Qiu Yang teased with some curiosity.

"No, no, no, my identity today is your agent."

Jinguji waved his hand towards the back seat, but the words that followed made Qiu Yang suddenly nervous.

"My eldest brother will come over in person today, after all, it's not a small amount of money."

……

When they arrived at the venue, everyone in the small conference room had already arrived. As soon as he saw him, Nanase Nishino stood up and greeted him as if no one was around.

"-Yang-kun, you're here."

"Nanasa, long time no see."

He also nodded in response, and looked around the venue, in addition to the producer and a middle-aged man he saw last time sitting in the corner of the table, there was also a man who looked a little like Jinguji sitting in the main seat - presumably, this is the next head of the Jinguji family.

In addition, a quiet man with glasses sat opposite him, and judging from the seating order, his status was not low.

The warm greeting from Nanase Nishino made Qiu Yang quickly comprehend a message, everyone in this room should already know their identity as a "relation" - especially the producer Sang, who looked at him with a complicated look and a cloudy look.

He just didn't see it, after all, his foundation was unstable, and he had to try to avoid taking the initiative to cause trouble. He bowed deeply and introduced himself.

"Sorry to wait for a long time, I'm Qiu Yang, an artist from Sony Entertainment."

"-The image is passable, and the temperament is quite suitable."

The bespectacled man looked him straight at the door from the moment he entered. As soon as Qiu Yang's words fell, he suddenly opened his mouth to judge. It also made Qiu Yang realize that from the moment he entered the door, he began to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking off the hat of "related household", at least, to be a "related household" who did not lag behind.

As if realizing his faux pas, he scratched his head apologetically and introduced himself.

"Hello Qiu Yangsang, my name is Daisuke Hagiwara, I am the screenwriter of this movie, and I am also the original author, please take care of me when I meet for the first time. Just now, it was because I was substituting for the role, sorry for the rudeness......"

"Hello hello, it's totally fine......"

With a greeting on his lips, he quickly caught the word "original", so to speak, is it an adaptation?

"Okay, let's give Qiu Yangsang a formal introduction."

The producer, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and when he entered the working state, he also had professional ethics, and his attitude towards him was relatively gentle, which made Qiu Yang also breathe a sigh of relief - if you respect me, I will naturally respect you.

"I'm Toho's representative, Yoshihiro Furuzawa, and I'm the producer of this manga adaptation movie "Hori and Miyamura"."

After introducing himself, he began to introduce everyone in the audience one by one.

"——This is the representative of Neon Electric, Jinguji Xiuyi-san, and also the investor of this movie."

"——This is the director, Yuto Kawai, who has had a lot of experience directing manga works before."

"- This one I've just met.,It's the original author of this manga work.,At the same time, it's also the screenwriter's debut this time.,Hagiwara Daisuke-san.。

Qiu Yang stepped forward one by one to shake hands, and at the end of the introduction, Gu Zesang's words paused.

"This, the two are already more familiar, Nishino Nanase-san, as the heroine of this work."

"Yangjun, please advise!"

Nanase Nishino imitated Qiu Yang's appearance just now, shook hands with him, and blinked his eyes by the way.

"—Please advise."

Qiu Yang was a little depressed in his heart, since the producer was present, this scene of "Yangjun and Nana Sai" really couldn't stop on the set.

……

……

After everyone was officially seated, it was still the producer Guze who led the meeting.

"Let me first briefly introduce the production expectations on our side - because the original work is very topical, and the animation a year ago also set off a big hit, our expectations for this work are very high."

Speaking of this, he paused, and his eyes stayed on Qiu Yang for a moment.

"So, we are using the newly promoted Tsukijiu main service, Nishino Nanase-san. Although I am personally very satisfied with Qiu Yangsang's image, I have to say that the use of amateurs may have unexpected publicity effects, but it is definitely a risky move. ”

Qiu Yang also lowered his head, Gu Ze's words were true, and he had already said it very implicitly.

"Today's meeting is mainly in accordance with the process, so that the management, director and screenwriter will review the candidates for the male and female leads, and if there is no problem, we will continue to move forward with the next step of casting."

After saying this, he set his eyes on Nanase and Qiu Yang again.

"In addition, I also want to familiarize the two of you with the script, especially Qiu Yangsang, I don't know if you have any understanding of this comic in advance?"

"Uh......"

Qiu Yang was a little embarrassed, he really didn't know much about comics, especially after a cursory glance, it seemed that it was still a girl's theme. And he told the truth.

"I haven't seen ......"

As soon as these words came out, the three beams of Producer Furuzawa, Kawai Supervisor, and Hagiwara screenwriter looked at each other.

"—that's going to be a bit tricky."

It seemed that because of the presence of the Jinguji brothers, Gu Ze tried to slow down his tone as much as possible.

"I still hope that Qiu Yangsang must take a look, after all, if you want to play a good role, an understanding of the original work is essential. At that time, when we finalized Nishino-san, we took into account that she was originally a loyal reader of the original work. ”

Kawai and Hagiwara also nodded in agreement.

Qiu Yang lowered his head with a little blush, and accepted it with some guilt.

"I'm sorry, I'll go back and make up for it."

Suddenly, as if the corner of her clothes was being pulled, she turned her head to see that it was Nanase Nishino sitting next to her, and she leaned over her ear and said.

"It's okay, Nana can borrow your full set of comics, and if you don't understand something, you can communicate with Nana more."

The distance was too close, his face turned even redder, and he kept his distance a little, and he nodded at Nishino.

"—then thank you Nanasey."

Gu Ze, who was at the table, glanced at it a little strangely, the two of them seemed to be too polite, but they still pushed the meeting process as usual.

"So, let's talk about your views on the casting of the main character, starting with Jinguji-san."

"I don't have a problem, it's all good."

Jinguji Shuichi's answer was brief. Somehow, Qiu Yang always felt that he lacked some of the domineering spirit of the head of the family, and he seemed too gentle and gentle.

For such a perfunctory answer, Furuzawa seemed to be expected, and motioned for Yuto Kawai to continue.

"This movie tells the love story of a couple of contrasts."

Considering that Qiu Yang is not familiar with the plot yet, Kawai Yuto patiently explained the character design first.

"The heroine Kyoko Hori is a fashionista in school, and she is popular and full, but in private, because she has to take care of her family alone, she is actually a thrifty homely girl. And the male protagonist is a gloomy rustic long-haired man at school.,In private, it's a Harajuku-style boy who wears a lot of clothes and has all kinds of stud tattoos.。 ”

"Nishino Nanase-san, it was set by Furusawa-san and Hagiwara-san together, and there is basically no problem. Qiu Yangsang's image ......"

He and Daisuke Hagiwara looked at each other, confirming that they were on the same page.

"We felt that the physical condition was very good, even beyond our expectations, and the temperament was very suitable, and it was indeed a gloomy and fashionable look - it's just that we need to grow our hair and then, preferably, get our ears pierced......"

"-Okay, good, no problem."

Maybe it was because just now, there was already something that had not been done, and Qiu Yang immediately agreed.

"If anything else, we don't have a problem, in terms of acting, we'll wait until the casting meeting to take a look, if it really doesn't meet the requirements, we will also have our insistence ......"

“…… Casting will? ”

He cast a questioning glance at Jingu Terarito, didn't he say that he was determined?

"-Qiu Yangsang, don't be nervous."

Gu Ze Jiakuan saw Qiu Yang's doubts and explained.

"The casting meeting is mainly for supporting roles, and we just go through the motions for the protagonist, but please also ask Qiu Yangsang to prepare well and not disappoint everyone who is looking forward to it."

"Of course."

Only then did he understand the operation process, and Qiu Yang nodded and agreed.

"So, do you have any recommendations for the choice of supporting roles?"

Gu Ze's sentence is actually mainly aimed at Kawai Yuto - because now the management and the producer have each assigned a candidate, so the corresponding supervision should also be given the right to nominate supporting roles.

After all, "Hori and Miyamura" is a youth group drama to a certain extent, and there are not many supporting roles.

"Hmm......"

Yuto Kawai scanned the description of the character information and thought about the young artist in his mind.

"If you don't think about downgrading, I have two candidates."

"-If it's down, we're producing at a high level, so maybe we can try to invite it."

Jinguji Shuichi, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, I don't know why, he seems to have enough enthusiasm and sincerity for this movie, but he can't see it at all on the surface.

"Uh......"

As an overseer, it should be a happy thing for the investor to be confident, but Kawai didn't know why, and always felt that this investor was weird.

Still, he continued.

"-I think you can consider Hirano Ziyao of King &Prince, and Naisan Horimi, who has just graduated and published."

Yoshihiro Furusawa fell into thought.

Both of them have had the experience of manga cooperation with Kawai Yongren before, and they meet the conditions of the "Kawai faction".

Hirano Ziyao is now a popular idol, and as a supplement to the actor's fame, it is a good decision to balance Qiu Yang. And in terms of image, it is also more in line with the character design - in the original setting, the second male protagonist was a super pool noodle role that slightly robbed some male protagonists.

As for Horimi Yangna, the entire core four-person actor team has been completely labeled as a topic - the first appearance after graduation and the reunion of Motonogizaka. Unexpectedly, it's not impossible to consider.

Both of them have served as principals, and Gu Ze fully recognizes their abilities. Now, the big question is whether they are willing to lower their weight and succumb to a vegan person.

"Then invite Hirano-san and Hori-san to give it a try...... Ask them if they want to. ”

After a moment of thought, he made a decision.

"-Eh, Qiu Yangsang, how do you look surprised?"

Seeing that Qiu Yang was a little distracted, he thought that he heard the names of two popular actors of the new generation, and he was a little stage frightened. Yuto Kawai comforted in a friendly voice.

"It's okay, Hirano-san and Hori-san have both worked with me, and they are both very friendly people, so Qiu Yangsan doesn't have to worry."

Qiu Yang nodded and thanked the superintendent for his kindness, and lowered his head.

"-Of course I know they're nice people, but it's a little too friendly to me......"
