Chapter 17: Stand-in Shooting
"Mr. Miyano's work is still as good as ever."
Arima Katsuna sat in the dressing room, asking the makeup artist to fix her makeup and hair, while flipping through the magazine in front of her.
Mika Miyano is the best-selling mystery queen of the current world, and her works are very famous in the broadcasting and film circles, and she is the writer with the most film and television adaptations among contemporary writers.
Arima Katsura once played the second female lead in Mika Miyano's works, she is a fan of Mika Miyano, and she also has the opportunity to work together again.
Mika Miyano is now serializing her new novel in "Spring and Autumn Literature", and Arima Katsuna is naturally not going to fall behind.
Arima Kasuka was watching, while her agent was holding another magazine and reading it.
Youma Guixiang glanced at the book in the agent's hand, as if there were also the words "Spring and Autumn", and asked suspiciously, "Which issue are you in?" I don't think I've seen it. ”
"It's this month, oh, this is not the Spring and Autumn Literary Awards, it's a supplement to the Spring and Autumn Cultural Awards, Qiankun Spring and Autumn."
The agent showed the full title of the book to Katsura Arima.
"Oh......" Katsuraka Arima was not interested in the supplement, and continued to flip through the magazine, intending to see the works written by other people in the magazine.
"Spring and Autumn Literary Awards" is a very important fiction journal, which can be regarded as the top three fiction journals.
Unlike comic magazines, the highest sales of comic weeklies are "Weekly Shonen Jumping", which is a lot higher than the second and third places, but the sales of "Spring and Autumn Awards" and the other two periodicals are often comparable.
As an actor, of course, she must always pay attention to what kind of stories the audience and readers like, which affects her choice of script. Moreover, many works on "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards" have been adapted for film and television, and several of them have also won the honor of "Broadcasting Award" at this Oscar, which needs to be paid more attention.
The agent's mobile phone rang suddenly, she answered the phone, and after two "hey" tones, her voice rose sharply: "What did you say?" Okay, good ......"
Arima Guixiang put down the magazine, looked at the agent and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The agent hung up the phone and looked at Arima Guixiang: "Male lead...... Mr. Kimura is injured and may delay filming. ”
"Hurt?" Arima Guixiang frowned, they are in the mode of filming and broadcasting, for the main creative team, time is extremely tight, but there is no time to recuperate from his injury.
"Is it badly hurt...... When will I be able to return to filming? ”
"It's hard to say, I'm still in the hospital, and it's said that I'm in a coma......"
"How so?"
"Kimura-san's agent said that he had an accident on a motorcycle, but in fact he ......" The agent glanced at the door of the dressing room and continued, "I heard that I took the girl I just met to a love hotel and was stopped by the girl's boyfriend and had a conflict. ”
Arima Guixiang was furious: "I heard that this person has a bad character, but during the filming, he couldn't control himself like this?" Don't you know that you're going to be a drag on others? ”
In this culture, it is a big sin to involve others, and the agent did not speak.
Katsura Arima slammed the magazine on the dressing table: "Miss Takahashi, let's not cooperate with this person in the future." So what now? What do producers and directors say? ”
"I was going to ask about the situation......
"Let's go together, Kimura's mistakes alone can't make us all pay." Arima Guixiang got up and said.
On the other hand, director Wataru Sato and producer Kaso Shimizu were also crazy at this time.
They also just got the news that the actor was injured, and I heard that he was hit in the head by a vodka bottle and was rushed to the hospital.
As for the reason, it is also very annoying. Hayato Kimura has a bad character, and he went to a love hotel with a woman he had met in a bar for less than thirty minutes, and was discovered by several of the woman's boyfriends, who directly started a group and beat Hayato Kimura unconscious.
The producers and directors are anxious, although they still have the film in their hands, there are still several episodes to be filmed.
And even if Kimura can be discharged from the hospital and continue to shoot with bandages, his injury will definitely affect his acting skills, the male and female protagonists of this drama are both main servants, because they are young actors and lack of acting experience, they will seem a little overwhelmed when they encounter some complex scenes, and now that they are injured, I am afraid that their acting skills will be even more reduced.
But Hayato Kimura's fans don't think it's because of the problem with their idol ability, and many people are still making a big fuss, thinking that the director's ability is insufficient and he hasn't been able to bring out Kimura-san's acting skills......
It's disgusting!
What is even more worrying is what if this matter is known by the media and widely reported? Hayato Kimura doesn't have to worry about that guy's star journey, this guy is to blame. But what if this delays the normal end of this show? But there are still a few episodes left unaired!
Sato Wataru calmed down for a moment and said to Shimizu Gyatso: "So far, that's the only way to do it......"
"Do you use a stand-in?" Shimizu Kaso hesitated for a moment, used a stand-in to shoot in the early stage, and then added a frontal shot of Hayato Kimura in the later stage, which was often able to pass the test in confusion under the cover of long shots and foreground composition.
But it can only deceive the audience who are not very careful, there are still a small number of people in the audience who watch the drama with a magnification mirror, a little unreasonable plot, a little bit of goofs on the camera, will attract strong dissatisfaction from this group of people, and they will be refuted in the columns of major newspapers.
This handful of people have a common name: film critics.
The broadcast time of "In the Name of Love" is the prime time of the weekend, and the station attaches great importance to it. At the beginning of the broadcast, producer Shimizu Gyatso also patted his chest and packed the ticket, saying that they would shoot a high-quality drama.
So this drama uses the highest production funds in the station, although it is a TV series, every shot is very elegant. The use of stand-ins, dubbing, and post-production head changes are not allowed by the crew, which will affect the overall quality of the show.
So as of last week, the quality is still on the level, and the critics didn't particularly make it difficult for them.
But the main creative team doesn't dare to slack off, these film critics are like hyenas, and the hit drama is their prey, once the prey shows that it is not in good condition, these people will see it as soon as possible, and come forward to bite it together.
Film critics know what audiences want to see in the entertainment section of the newspaper, they don't want to see all the praise, they love the critics' vitriolic sarcasm and sarcasm, and they love the hyenas that trample the stars and producers in the mud and pull their intestines out.
As long as their own favorite stars and works are not ridiculed, they like to see criticism more than praise.
It is the natural instinct of the creator to please the audience and readers, the creator of the TV series will do everything to shoot what the audience loves to watch, and the film critics will also do everything possible to cater to the preferences of the readers.
I'm going to be scolded...... Qing Shui Jiacuo shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Shimizu, Superintendent Sato, have you received any news?" Arima Guixiang came over at this time.
Wataru Sato nodded, "We already know about it, and we're trying to figure it out now." ”
"Is Kimura-san seriously injured?" Arima Guixiang asked, the subtext is that there is still one breath for the old lady to roll over and film!
"There's no way to come to the set for a while." Shimizu Kaso said, "We're going to use a stand-in. ”
"Alas......" Ma Guixiang actually guessed it, but at the same time, he also expected that once the drama using a stand-in was broadcast, it would be overwhelmingly criticized by those film critics.
Although she is not the one who uses the stand-in, she is one of the main servants of this show after all, which will also affect her evaluation to a greater or lesser extent.
Sato Wataru saw Arima Katsuka's concern and comforted: "Don't worry, Miss Arima, I will do my best and it won't affect the quality of the broadcast." ”
That being said, it's almost impossible to not affect.
But the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, and Ma Guixiang can only agree.
Seeing that Katsura Arima had no opinion, Wataru Sato hurriedly beckoned Taro Nishimura and asked him to choose a person similar to Hayato Kimura from among the male passers-by to come over and be his stand-in.
Taro Nishimura hurriedly selected among the passers-by who signed a contract in the stage, but Hayato Kimura was tall, broad-shouldered, and much superior to most of him.
Among the passers-by actors, there is almost no one who is close to his back or even his figure, there is only one special actor who is about as tall as Kimura, but this person is really too strong, and his figure is like Shenma Dongxi, and although Kimura Hayato is tall, his figure is actually thin.
He reluctantly found five or six people, brought them to the director and producer, and said stubbornly: "Supervision, this is already the closest one that can be found." ”
Sato looked at the group of stand-ins in front of him, either fat or thin, or short, and one of them was similar to Kimura Hayato's stature, but he was fucking black.
"Nothing else?" Wataru Sato asked.
Taro Nishimura shook his head helplessly.
Wataru Sato didn't embarrass him, he also came all the way from the executive director, and he knew how stupid the kind of director who only made requests and didn't care about the reality at all, so he stretched out his fingers and tried to find the closest one in the crowd.
"Superintendent Sato, what do you think of that person?"
Just when Sato was tangled, Arima Katsura suddenly pointed to a person in the crowd.
Sato Wataru looked in the direction of Arima Katsuna's finger, and saw that the man was helping the gaffer adjust the equipment, not a passer-by actor, and he still had an AD badge around his neck.
"Who's that man?"
"The assistant director of the high-skill production dispatch, the name is ......" Taro Nishimura thought for a moment, "Kei Fujiwara." ”
