Chapter 20: Crisis Awareness of Brokers
"Sato-san, I'm really sorry, the doctor said that Kimura-kun won't return for a few days."
A middle-aged man in a suit came to the set and said with a ninety-degree bow to Shibu Sato.
He is Hayato's agent of Kimura, responsible for Hayato's market operation, image public relations, resource negotiation and other affairs, Hayato Kimura delayed the shooting for his personal reasons, and he must apologize as an agent.
"Alas......" Wataru Sato took off his headphones and looked at the man in front of him and said, "There are unforeseen circumstances, and it's not incomprehensible." ”
"And we haven't stopped shooting, we're using a stand-in, and we'll wait for Kimura-kun to recover before we can make up the shots. I will try my best to catch up with the schedule, but there are not many pieces left in the hands of the Shimizu producers, and I hope that Kimura-san can return as soon as possible. ”
"It must be ......," the agent nodded.
After obtaining the understanding of the main creators, the agent finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly blamed Hayato Kimura in his heart.
In fact, he was not seriously injured, but this guy met a girl from Uruguay in the hospital and wanted to take her to Shikoku. So after recovering from the injury, I went on a trip, and it took three days to get to the set.
He didn't dare to offend the main creative team openly, so he sent him to apologize to the main creative team.
The agent is a miserable life, but the artist has to apologize when he goes to enjoy himself, and he will not be an agent when he goes to Hokkaido to fish persimmons in the next life......
When the abdomen was slandered, the director turned on the camera, and after the clapperboard was beaten, Ma Guixiang and an actor with an unfamiliar face played.
This person is a stand-in...... The agent said in his heart, clasped his hands to his chest, and looked at it for a while.
Today is a quarrel scene, and it is also a bridge with strong dramatic tension, which tests the acting skills of both actors.
Acting as a stand-in must have nothing to play, it is equivalent to letting Arima Guixiang read lines to the air, Miss Arima and the main creative team are probably very resentful...... Even if Hayato Kimura reshoots the shot at the end, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The agent sighed secretly in his heart, Hayato Kimura became famous at a very young age, because he was handsome, had many fans, had a smooth ride along the way, and had no sense of crisis, so he didn't cherish the job opportunity very much. This year also entered a period of burnout, and the work was very perfunctory.
The agent is worried: if this continues, Kimura-kun will be replaced by a newcomer sooner or later......
Hayato Kimura is still young and doesn't know how competitive this line of work is, but the agent knows. In this industry, I have seen too many old people decline, new people rise, and Kimura Hayato is young and famous, which is a great gift from God. But God's gift may not be taken back in the future!
But immediately he stroked his chest to comfort himself, Kimura Hayato is also a super idol, and he has acted in a hit drama in the past two years, and his blood is thick. Replacing him is not something that can be done overnight, so don't worry too much about it for the time being.
"You're a liar!"
Arima Guixiang covered her face with her hands at this time and cried, her shoulders trembled, and tears seeped out of her fingers.
The agent couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, what a great acting skill, if this is Hayato Kimura, can you catch it?
At this time, Kimura Hayato's stand-in suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Arima Katsuka's hands, his eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he was reading the lines in his mouth, but halfway through speaking, he let go of his hand again, his finger joints trembled slightly, and his front teeth bit his lower lip.
The agent was stunned, what a great acting skill! The feeling of loving each other deeply, but not daring to touch, and stopping at courtesy, is coming!
This person is a professional actor, right? Didn't you say that it was just a stand-in? and will not officially enter the camera, how can there be such superb acting skills?
And he has a feeling that Arima Guixiang seems to enjoy the performance more when he plays against this person.
After the two finished acting for a while, they changed another way to protect the director and officially ended the scene.
Just when Arima Guixiang was resting, the agent crawled through the crowd like a loach, walked up to Arima Guixiang, and said with a smile: "Miss Arima, excuse me." ”
Arima Katsura glanced at it and said, "Mr. Ishikawa, is Kimura-kun okay?" ”
"It's still recovering, and I'll be back soon."
Arima Guixiang was expressionless: "If the injury is serious and difficult to heal, it is okay to rest for a while." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ma Guixiang's agent poked her waist.
Ishikawa's agent pretended not to hear the thorn in his words, still smiling, and then Fujiwara Kei walked over, "Miss Arima, I made a design for you in the next scene, do you see if it works......?"
When Arima Katsuna saw Fujiwara Kei, she immediately stood up: "What's the matter, Fujiwara." ”
Kei Fujiwara scratched a line of words in the line book with his fingernails: "This sentence, the lines remain the same, but it would be better to leave a breath when you read it and pause a little." After a sentence is read, it would be more effective if there was a sobbing sound. ”
Arima Katsura tried to read it according to the method that Fujiwara Kei said, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Sure enough." ”
Ishikawa's agent looked at Fujiwara Kei and was a little stunned, aren't you a stand-in? How did you start to officially communicate with the leading actor about acting, and it was the same as the official starring role.
This is trespassing! It's a crime! No, nobody's in charge?
Ishikawa's agent glanced at Superintendent Sato, and then at the agent next to Arima Katsuraka, and found that they all had a familiar expression, so their expressions instantly became solemn, and a feeling of uneasiness came to their hearts.
The main creative team ...... Aren't you planning to overhaul the script on the fly?
It's not like this hasn't happened in the past, there was once a main actor who suddenly became popular in the middle of a TV series, so he began to be dissatisfied with the cheap contract he had signed, hoping to increase his salary.
Of course, the producer will not agree to this request, so the main actor began to discooperate with the producer in various ways, arriving late and leaving early, and absent for no reason. The producer had no choice but to increase the salary once, but it still failed to satisfy her.
The main screenwriter was furious, and directly wrote his role to death and changed a girlfriend for the male protagonist.
Changing roles halfway is naturally a heavy blow to the ratings, and the audience is also constantly abusing the main creative team. But anyone who knows a little about this industry knows that the producer will not change roles halfway through as long as there is a way. There's no way around it.
So after this incident, the actor's notoriety spread far and wide, and the market value plummeted, and no one was willing to hire a person who was extremely undedicated and even forced the producer to change roles halfway through. Within a few years, this person was found to be absent in the circle.
Thinking of this, Ishikawa suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at Fujiwara Kei again, I only think that this person does have the temperament of some actors, and his acting skills seem to be much higher than that of Hayato Kimura.
The main creative team shouldn't really have the idea of letting this person replace Hayato Kimura, right?
Thinking of this, he felt a little hot in his head, and he couldn't stay any longer. After greeting everyone, Ishikawa's agent left the set quickly, and he went to find Hayato Kimura.
No, it's too dangerous, and it has to be made to make that disrespectful guy in Kimura have a sense of crisis.
