Chapter 385: The Path of Ideals

At the end of the day's shooting, Oda Kiri walked into the tavern alone.

He ordered a glass of beer, a pork cutlet, and drank it silently, the cold beer was covered with thick milky white wine bubbles, and the moment he drank it, he felt that he had healed a lot from his work injury at the end of the day.

"Siha~" Oda Kiri made a refreshing sound and took another bite of the tonkatsu.

This is the moment he looks forward to the most every day, no matter how late he works, he has to drink a cold beer and a plate of snacks, a sip of wine can form the fatigue he has accumulated throughout the day, and it is this beer that supports his tenacious will to survive.

In this book, how can you not be crazy when you are an independent filmmaker?

There are not enough people in the crew, and often one person has to do a good job in several positions, director, producer, editor, photography, and script, and he has recently expanded the team, but the work is still hard and heavy.

Every day, I have to draw storyboards, think of ideas, arrange shooting plans, find money, and even appease the actors, and there are always all kinds of troubles.

encountered trouble again today, the male lead suddenly took leave today, disrupting the original arrangement, and the other staff in the crew told him that the male lead actor was not in a hurry, but to attend his idol's concert...... Oda Kiri Gong was so angry that his teeth itched, but he also decided to pretend that he didn't know.

Independent filmmakers don't have a professional team and deep financial backing, and there are always problems, but he is relieved that in the past four months, all the problems that have arisen have been solved by him. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to that noble movie hall.

Perhaps in the near future, he will go to Tokyo and step on the red carpet of the Academy Awards...... No, not only in Tokyo, but also in Berlin, Venice, Hollywood......

Although this dream is very far away from him, it is getting closer and closer.

"Hey, let's go to the movies in a moment." There was a couple sitting at the next table, and the girl said to the boy.

The boy said, "Okay, what are you going to see?" It seems that there is a Hollywood blockbuster released. ”

"Let's go see something else, that American movie is not good...... It's good to go see Arima Katsuraka's "Confession", I heard that this movie is directed by the ghost writer Kei Fujiwara, so it should be very good. ”

"Okay, then go see this...... Wait, how do you know that American movie is not good? Who did you go to see it with? ”

"And my dad, stingy."

The two held each other's hands and left, and Oda Kiri took another sip of beer, inhaling the last bit of liquid in the cup into his stomach, a slightly drunken feeling welled up, and the whole person entered a relaxed state.

He walked out of the tavern and was about to go home, when he saw a young woman dressed fashionably and carrying a suitcase standing on the sidewalk every thirty meters or so.

What is the current market price? 6,000 yen? The economy has been bad lately, so it should be cheaper.

After walking two steps, I turned my head and saw a large poster posted on the outer wall of a nearby theater, and I was immediately attracted, and the poster was a woman, the famous artist Arima Katsuka. The poster shows her wearing a teacher's uniform, staring ahead with an expressionless face, and the poster has no other design, at first glance it looks like an ordinary headshot photo.

Oda Kiri Gongzo knows that this movie has been hyped up recently, not to mention how the movie was made, the publicity is really extraordinary.

If only there was such publicity after the release of his own movie......

Oda Kiri looked at Kei Fujiwara's name on the poster, a little envious, a little jealous, and even a little unconvinced.

The name of Kei Fujiwara on the poster deserves to be extraordinarily large, obviously using him as one of the selling points of the movie, and even an extremely important selling point, and the appeal of Kei Fujiwara's name even exceeds that of star artists to a certain extent.

Oda Kiri is undoubtedly a little jealous, becoming a nationally and even world-renowned director has always been his ideal, but after many years of filming, his age has been increasing, and he is in his thirties in a trance, but the ideal in his heart does not seem to be close to him.

In fact, he was a little afraid in his heart, not that he would never be able to realize his ideal of becoming a famous director, but that one day, the flame of the ideal in his heart would be extinguished instantly due to a certain opportunity.

And his ideals have been realized by others, Fujiwara Kei's reputation is known to him, he became famous at a young age, and his status is extremely high, whether it is literature or television.

In fact, he once had the opportunity to enter the TV circle and get a good income, but because he always had a dream of movies and hoped to have his own independent works, he did not enter the TV circle for a long time. However, his first two works have been mediocre.

And his partner Shibasaki Hideaki, who was chasing his movie dream with him, entered the TV circle and filmed his TV series after several failures. Today, he has also become the main director, filmed several Yuejiu dramas, and has become a person with the right to speak in the circle.

Every time I think about it, I will inevitably feel a little sour in my heart, and occasionally I can't help but think that if I had also filmed a TV series at that time, maybe I would have become a well-known figure in the circle by now...... Obviously, in terms of skill and talent, I am better than that guy in Shibasaki, and even this Kei Fujiwara may not be able to compare to me.

It's not that I'm not capable enough, but I've chosen a difficult path...... Since the studio system has been no longer working, the film industry has been half-dead......

Damn, if only I had been born in the United States. I'm sure I'll be able to make a big deal in Hollywood......

Oda Kirikozao muttered and walked into the movie theater, and it wasn't until he walked to the ticket office that he suddenly reacted, didn't he plan to talk to a woman just now, why did he run into the movie theater in a trance.

I just got distracted......

Oda Kiri took a look at the ticket office, anyway, he came here, so he just took a look. He doesn't believe that people who are used to making TV series can make any good movies.

In fact, there is no chain of contempt between TV dramas and movies, and there is no idea that TV drama directors are inferior to film directors, but Oda Kiri himself has it, and he has not yet become a well-known film director, and he has begun to look down on people as a well-known director. 33

He bought a movie ticket for "Confession", and the movie started half an hour later, so he bought a bag of fried chicken and sat and waited to eat it, when he saw two girls watching a movie together, both of them were very good-looking, and they seemed to be students.

Oda Kiri Gongzo kind of wanted the phone numbers of the two of them, but as soon as the idea came out, I began to fantasize in my heart again, in case these two people asked me what I did, how should I answer? If I say I'm a film director, they're bound to ask me what I've done. But my previous work was not a success, what if I told them and they looked down on me?

Thinking of this, my mentality directly nourishes my stomach.

Oda Kiriko's dream of making movies has not been successful for many years, but in fact, it has made him a little nervous.

Finally, when the movie check-in time came, Oda Kiri Gongzao entered with the movie ticket, and the two girls were beside him, and the smell of perfume on their bodies went straight to their nostrils, but they didn't dare to have the slightest idea.

I only heard one of the girls say: "Didn't you already watch it when it premiered before?" ”

"I feel like there are a lot of details I don't understand, and I want to read them again."

Oda Kiri said silently in his heart, did it turn out to be a movie with rich plot details? Well, yes, Kei Fujiwara wrote reasoning before filming the TV series, and it is said that the writing is good, so he must have the ability to do so in terms of plot. It's a pity, no matter how well the script is written, he is also a layman in terms of directing, if only he could work with me. My directing skills, coupled with his scripts, must be able to surpass the works of his own directors.

Thinking of this, I walked into the screening room.

Some people died, but not completely......
