Chapter Eighty-Five: Aoi Kono
The sudden resignation of Nozomi Araki made Yui Mizuhara angry enough.
Twice, I was slapped in the face twice by this guy Nozomi Araki, and no matter how good-tempered a person is, I can't stand it.
After a tantrum throwback, things still have to go on, so Kei Fujiwara contacts the actor again to audition, and just when Yui Mizuhara is busy in the company, he gets the news that Etsuko Fukuyama has come to visit.
Although Yui Mizuhara was dissatisfied with them, she still went to see her.
As soon as Etsuko Fukuyama met, she put her posture very low and kept apologizing.
At this point, it was useless to lose her temper at her, but Yui Mizuhara still behaved coldly.
Etsuko Fukuyama didn't come alone today, and there was a young girl standing next to her.
"Miss Mizuhara, she's also my artist, her name is Aoi Kono, and she's very interested in our new drama." Etsuko Fukuyama said at this time, "This kid wants to try the role of Nozoko Araki, I don't know......
Saying that, Etsuko Fukuyama looked around, as if she was looking for someone, and Yui Mizuhara said directly: "Fujiwara-sensei is auditioning, it is the original role of Nozoko Araki, if you are interested in this role, now go and try it directly." As long as it's suitable, and the acting skills are of a good standard, we want it."
Now that a main actor is suddenly missing, Yui Mizuhara is so anxious that her ulcers are popping up, and now finding the right actor is the first priority.
Etsuko Fukuyama hurriedly took Aoi Kono to the audition place, directly in the conference room. Kei Fujiwara was the only one inside, Hideaki Shibasaki was busy with the set, and Yui Mizuhara was docking with advertisers.
There were not a few people who auditioned, and Aoi Kono waited for a while, and when it was her turn, she walked in.
Aoi Kono stepped forward and handed over the information.
"Hello teacher, I'm Aoi Kono." Aoi Kono respectfully introduced herself, "I am 23 years old, 165 cm tall and weigh 45 kg."
Then, it took a turn in place.
The first thing Kei Fujiwara saw was the name of Kono Aoi's company, and when he found out that it was the same agency as Araki Kiko, he couldn't help frowning, but after seeing the name and himself, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression eased a lot.
"Kono Aoi, huh? Don't be nervous, I'll give you a theme that you play freely. Your senior has a crush on you, but ......."
Aoi Kono lowered her head in contemplation for a while, and after a few seconds, quickly entered the play.
After the performance, Kei Fujiwara held his cheeks and pondered for a moment, with a smile on his face.
That's good......
It's a pity that the first work of his debut acted in a film by Nagaharu Ohno......
"Alright, go back and wait for news." Kei Fujiwara said directly.
"Good...... Thank you, teacher."
Kono Aoi didn't dare to say anything, Fujiwara Kei gave people a strong sense of oppression, and being able to say lines in front of him without stammering was already considered her professional ability.
After turning around and going out, Etsuko Fukuyama said, "How is it?"
Kono nodded, reacted, and shook her head again.
"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"
"I think I'm okay with my acting, but I don't know what Fujiwara-sensei thinks of me......
"It's okay, just work hard." Etsuko Fukuyama touched her head, Aoi Kono has a docile personality, does not act as a demon, and never wants to engage in crooked ways. Before becoming an actor, he had a clean resume, unlike other actresses in the company, some of whom had worked as fathers before engaging in art. If she is popular, she can save the old nose in business.
But maybe it's this kind of character that doesn't like to compete, so it's extremely difficult to become popular.
"By the way, did you ask him for an autograph?" Etsuko Fukuyama asked suddenly.
Kono Aoi froze for a moment, and suddenly cried with a sad face: "I forgot."
"Ugh...... It's okay, it's okay......."
After returning home in the evening, Kei Fujiwara made a special call to Nagaji Ohno, and Nagaharu Ohno's voice was lazy and sounded like he had drunk.
"Hey ......"
"It's me, Changji."
"I hear that...... Are you going to come to my house for a drink?"
"Don't drink anymore, I still have work tomorrow." Fujiwara Keimichi, "I met someone when I was interviewing for an actor today, and it should be your old acquaintance."
"Who?"
"Kono Aoi, you've worked with her before, haven't you?"
"Boom!" There was a sound of falling on the other end of the phone, and it was a long time before Nagaharu Ohno's voice came again, "Aoi Kono? Did you see Kono's child? Great, maybe she can become popular with you......
"She's just coming to audition...... I'm not going to ...... with her yet."
"Kei Fujiwara! I didn't treat you well!" Nagaharu Ohno almost yelled on the other end of the phone, "And Kono is very potential, not only talented, but also very hardworking, if you don't choose her, it must be your loss!"
"She just interviewed me for a scene, how do I know how she acted?" Fujiwara Kei said, "She has participated in too few film and television works before, so shouldn't she have participated in your movies before? Is there still the original film? Let me take a look."
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he said, "Okay, I'll go and give you the disc, you wait, her performance is really good, I can't direct it."
Fujiwara Kei was stunned for a moment, this guy, seriously?
"It's too late today, ...... tomorrow"
Before the voice fell, the phone hung up. Almost forty minutes later, there was a knock on Kei Fujiwara's door, and Nagaharu Ohno was standing outside the door in a trench coat, panting and chilling.
"Give." Nagaharu Ohno directly handed over a disc, and after Kei Fujiwara took it, he turned around and left.
Kei Fujiwara looked at his back, sighed, returned to the room, and seeing that it was not too late, he turned on the TV and put on the disc.
Halfway through it, Kei Fujiwara fell asleep on the sofa.
By the time it was morning, Kei Fujiwara was awakened by freezing.
He hurriedly got into the futon and slept for more than an hour before dragging his somewhat tired body to the bathroom to wash.
Kei Fujiwara, who was brushing his teeth, silently sighed at the power of Nagaharu Ohno's films.
In his last life, when he was at the Cannes Film Festival, the literary and artistic films of various countries and small language films took turns to play, but they didn't make him fall asleep, but he was achieved by a film by Nagaji Ohno.
Kei Fujiwara himself is a person who doesn't like literary films, and his aesthetic is popular with the public, so he likes to watch commercial ***. Even if it is a serious subject, he likes to watch films like "Schindler's List", and he can't watch Wong Kar-wai's films.
Nagaharu Ohno's film is too stream-of-consciousness, and it is also full of sections discussing politics, philosophy, and art...... At first glance, it was taken by *** college students, and I can't wait to stuff all the little things I know into the work, and while stuffing it, I fantasize that the audience will praise their talents after seeing it.
As a result, the fact is that the audience watched it for less than two minutes, frowned, thought to themselves something, and turned around and left.
Hearing him say that the script of this film was also written by himself, it can be seen that this person has lost his life with the screenwriting industry. But as a director, there is merit.
For example, in terms of sub-shots and art, it has surpassed the level of an ordinary newcomer, if it weren't for the story being too ugly, with this lens language, Kei Fujiwara might be able to stick to the end.
If there is a good script, maybe Nagaharu Ohno can really make a good film?
Let's talk about Kono Aoi, so embarrassing lines can be said with such a sense of faith, which is not ordinary.
That's it.
