Chapter 216: Can You Play It Exaggerated?

Fujiwara Kei has watched a lot of Kabuki performances during this time, and all the major genres have watched it, and I found that it is still [White Crane House] with the highest overall appearance.

In this book, the youngest Kabuki family has a history of 30 years, and there are seven or eight famous house numbers. Each group has its own style, from classical to modern pop music that embraces trends and incorporates modern pop tunes into their performances, playing and singing with guitars.

And the participation of Kabuki actors in film and television dramas is not a new thing, and since Matsumoto Konoemon starred in Renzaburo Furuhata, gaining fame and fortune, and reaching a new career, more Kabuki actors have begun to be keen to appear in film and television.

After a period of observation, Kei Fujiwara did value a few actors who were close to the characters in terms of image and performance style, so he went directly to them.

Those Kabuki actors showed great respect when they saw Kei Fujiwara. Recently, [White Crane House] has been in the limelight, although it is slightly inferior to the oldest [Nakataya] in terms of historical status.

But when it comes to ticket sales alone, no one can compare to [Hakutsuruya]. Even in the last quarter, the ticket revenue of [Hakutsuruya] was fully double that of [Nakataya].

And everyone knows that the person who contributed to the heyday of [Hakutsuruya] is Kei Fujiwara.

Many people in the Kabuki world are also convinced that Fujiwara Kei and Arima Katsura are a couple, and even sigh that the culture of sons-in-law and adopted sons is still reasonable, and it would be good if they could find a son-in-law like Fujiwara Kei, such a capable person can at least bless the prosperity of the family for 50 years.

So when Kei Fujiwara made an offer, the actor who was invited agreed without much thought.

Prosecutor Kurosaki, the protagonist's friend Watara Rishinobi, and the role of the bank president are gradually being found, but the role of Owada Managing Director has not been decided.

As the biggest villain of the first part, Owada is undoubtedly the soul of the play, and his importance is even no less than that of Hanzawa Naoki himself. In the original version, Teruyuki Kagawa's wonderful performance also added a lot to this drama.

So Fujiwara Kei also hopes to find an actor with a strong aura and a somewhat "unkind" face, and who is familiar with the style of drama. But it seems that he has not been able to find a suitable match.

At this time, Matsumoto Konoemon asked Kei Fujiwara to drink and asked him how the actor was looking, and Kei Fujiwara told the truth.

Matsumoto Konoemon listened to Kei Fujiwara's demand for actors, thought silently for a while, and said, "I seem to have a candidate, do you want to take a look?"

[In view of the general environment, Fujiwara Kei glanced up at Matsumoto Konoemon and nodded.

The next day, Matsumoto Koemon approached Kei Fujiwara with some videotapes. He was cautious and did not rush to find the person, but first brought the person's video data. I'll show it to Kei Fujiwara first.

"The actor's name is Ishikawa Kakiyu, and he is the second son of [Nakataya], but the house number was eventually inherited by the eldest son, so he shifted the focus of his acting career from kabuki performance to film and television. Since his debut, he has acted in a lot of good movies, and although his reputation in China is not prominent, he has won some international awards, which can be regarded as a remarkable achievement." ….

As he spoke, Matsumoto Konoemon casually picked up a video tape and put it on, it was a movie, and Fujiwara Kei was surprised to see the familiar dragon mark.

"This is a war-themed film made in China last year, and Ishikawa plays a famous war criminal...... I have to tell you up front that this actor has leftist ideological leanings, do you mind?"

"Hehe, of course I don't mind." Kei Fujiwara laughed.

Don't you mind...... Kei Fujiwara immediately had a better impression of this actor.

After watching this Chinese movie, Kei Fujiwara watched the film and television dramas and stage videos starring the other actors, thought about it, and said, "Mr. Matsumoto, do you have the contact information of this actor?"

"Haha, of course."

"Could you please contact me and ask him if he would like to participate."

"No problem, I'll make an appointment with him now, he can audition at any time."

At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, Ishikawa Kakitoyo drove directly

When he arrived at Fukuyamadai and saw the real person, Kei Fujiwara became more and more satisfied.

This actor has a dark complexion and looks like a village man, but his eyes are sharp and shrewd, he has an elite temperament when he wears a suit, and his style changes a lot, which is indeed a good material for acting in movies, especially art films.

"Fujiwara-sensei, I've admired my name for a long time." Ishikawa Kakitoyo smiled and half-bowed and shook hands with Kei Fujiwara, with a very humble gesture, "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ishikawa, please come here."

found a room dedicated to rehearsals, Kei Fujiwara set up the camera, gave him a few lines, and talked about the play a little, Ishikawa Kakitoyo didn't even have time to prepare, and started acting directly.

"Shut up! Naturally, the governor is very clear about this kind of thing, and he clearly named Vice Minister Hanzawa to be responsible, which shows that the governor must have been carefully considered. Of course, if it fails, the governor must have the consciousness to take all the responsibilities, right?"

"Twice as many as zero, a hundred times as much, all zero, half a ze."

Watching Ishikawa's performance, Kei Fujiwara frowned slightly.

After Ishikawa's performance, he noticed that Kei Fujiwara seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and asked directly, "Fujiwara-sensei, may I ask if my performance just now was not good enough?"

"There's nothing bad, it's a very natural and vivid performance." Keido Fujiwara, "But Mr. Ishikawa, can you interpret it more exaggeratedly and forcefully, similar to the performance style of a drama, or even more exaggerated and harder, without considering whether it is natural or not."

After hearing this request, Ishikawa Kakitoyo was slightly surprised, he was a kabuki actor who acted in many stage plays, and later transformed into a film and television actor. Therefore, he can handle the performance in various situations with ease.

High-level performances should of course be "natural" and not show too many traces of performance, especially under clear cameras. But on stage, it is the opposite, because the audience and the actors have a certain distance, and they cannot see the subtle changes in the actors' expressions well. Therefore, it is necessary for the actors' actions and lines to be appropriately exaggerated, open and close, so that the audience can see clearly.

Kei Fujiwara wanted to recruit TV drama actors, but asked him to use a more exaggerated interpretation method. This makes Ishikawa Persimmon a little incomprehensible, if it were someone else, Ishikawa Persimmon would definitely think that this guy was a stupid hat and didn't know how to perform at all.

But the other party is Kei Fujiwara, a god who has been connecting with popular TV series for more than a year since his debut, and he must have a reason for saying so.

Ishikawa Kakitoyo was not too suspicious, and began to make adjustments as Fujiwara Kei said.

After adjusting it a few times, he began to reproduce Owada being forced to kneel by Hanzawa Naoki, squatting slowly with his hands on his thighs, and a painful constipation look on his face.

The character of Ishikawa Kakitoyo himself was a little too dramatic, but Kei Fujiwara was satisfied and nodded, "Very good, Mr. Ishikawa.".
