Chapter 338 One of the Three Major Illusions in Life
The relationship between the characters in "Confession" is not particularly complicated, and there are only five or six characters with really big roles.
In addition to the main characters, the film's group scenes mainly focus on the school plot, so the crew needs to find 20 or 30 teenagers to play the roles of middle school students.
Ohno Nagaharu originally wanted to go directly to some idol agencies and ask them to send a few teenagers. Many idols are trainees who have been trained by the agencies since they were young. It would not be a problem to get a few teenage idols to come over. These agencies also want these children to show their faces and prepare for their official debut in the future. They will agree to it even if Kei Fujiwara doesn't give him any pay.
But after visiting the idol agency, Kei Fujiwara returned to Ono Bookstore.
Those young idols are capable of singing and dancing, but after all, they have not received much performance training, and due to their young age, they cannot reach the performance level.
Unlike adult actors, child actors require more talent to perform. Children with acting talent can even perform at a high level for the first time, while children without talent will perform in a way that is unbearable.
Moreover, many of these children have been away from school for a long time, and they have a strong air of idols. It is difficult for them to act like students. Only one of them performed reasonably well, but Kei Fujiwara seemed a little drunk as soon as he opened his mouth, with a thick Kansai accent.
Fujiwara Kei looked at Nijs's staff suspiciously, but the other party seemed calmer, and explained: "This child was just excavated by the office last month, and it's not long after practice."
After some hesitation, Kei Fujiwara decided on this person, but only one person.
In fact, Kei Fujiwara doesn’t need to carefully screen every young actor and select them carefully. Because there are only about three small actors who really have a lot of roles, and most of the other actors just pass by, showing their faces at most, and most of them don't use much acting skills.
But Kei Fujiwara suddenly thought of something - it would be better to start publicity work from now on, before the filming of the movie has officially started.
Kei Fujiwara told Nagaji Ohno his thoughts, and Nagaji Ohno scratched his head: "You mean, recruit actors in junior high schools all over Japan?"
"Yes, those underage ensemble actors are directly looking for among the school students. If there are children who perform well, we can add appropriate shots in the feature film." Kei Fujiwara said, "By the way, among the three main underage actors , isn’t Shuya Watanabe the only one who has found an actor? There are still two main young actors, Naoki Shimomura and Mizuki Kitahara, who are still vacant. It’s not impossible to choose among young amateur actors.”
Kei Fujiwara said.
In fact, many film crews have tried this method of selecting actors from among amateurs. For example, the famous "Harry Potter". and Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River No. 7" and "Mermaid."
Especially "Mermaid", the heroine of this show adopted the method of online audition. At that time, the media made a lot of noise about this audition. Many girls in Kei Fujiwara's class at that time participated in the audition, which also made this movie not aired. It became popular first and attracted enough attention during the filming stage.
This movie also broke the box office record at the time, but the quality of the movie itself was not particularly high, so it almost fell all the way after it was released, but it still achieved good results, especially the box office won on the day of the premiere was almost Many movies cannot achieve this in one month. I have to say that this movie did a very good job in the early promotion.
Therefore, auditions are not only for discovering new talents and finding suitable actors, but they are also a good method for publicity. After all, students are also an important group of moviegoers.
"Why, don't you plan to let Inoue Mori play the role of Kitahara Mizuki again?" Ohno Nagaji asked, "This role is more complicated, and there are requirements for the actor's image. Inoue Mori is a good candidate."
"That child doesn't seem to be willing to act." Kei Fujiwara said, "Forget it, let's do it first. Although I also think her acting effect is the best, but if she doesn't want to act, the movie can't be stopped."
Nagaji Ohno nodded, and said, "By the way, I have recruited a few more people, some are employees of Matsunichi Pictures, and some are people from outside production companies. You can see if it can be used, and if you can use it, you can directly join the team."
"You decide, after all, you are the producer." Fujiwara Keimao, if he participates in everything, he will be too busy, and it may make the collaborators lose their sense of accomplishment, which will eventually affect the cooperation.
"Okay, then the creative team and working team members are determined." Nagaji Ohno said, "Next, after the actors are determined, we can start filming directly."
…
Inoue Morimata sat on his seat again, the window was opened, and a gust of cool breeze blew in. The breeze blew in his face and messed up Inoue Morimata's bangs.
Mori Inoue ran his forehead hair with his hands again, resting his cheeks, and suddenly sighed.
This scene stunned a group of boys not far away. They could faintly hear their own heartbeats when they looked at Inoue Moriya's profile.
Some boys from other classes also wandered back and forth in the corridor outside the classroom, then straightened their necks and looked into the classroom, looking at Inoue Morimata.
Now Inoue Mori is a second-year junior high school student, that is, the second year of junior high school. Students of this age are already showing signs of budding emotions, and this is especially true for Japanese children who are relatively precocious. And Inoue Mori was "lucky" to become the object of crush of many boys.
Because he is a popular star and has a strong team of nutritionists and stylists behind him, when girls of the same age were still little girls, Inoue Mori was already shrouded in the halo of a goddess.
In the eyes of many boys and girls aged fourteen or fifteen, the impact of this aura is too powerful. Some boys were so fascinated that they even formed an offline group of Inoue Morimata in the school. Support Club - [Guarding the most beautiful Morimata-chan in the universe].
In addition to being liked by boys, girls also secretly imitate Inoue Morimata in dressing up. Japanese society is not too strict about children's dressing up and even makeup, but they do have uniform school uniforms. Therefore, there was not much room for personal attire, so he began to imitate Inoue Morimata's hairstyle and accessories.
Not long ago, Mori Inoue wore a bun that exposed her forehead and walked into the school. It even caused a sensation among the girls on campus - she is so beautiful! So the next day, there were many more girls in the school with exposed foreheads and combed buns.
It's just that compared to Inoue Morimata, many girls' foreheads are far less plump and smooth than Inoue's, and there are many pimples, so there are inevitably many visual differences.
Inoue Mori was bored and drawing comics on her notebook with a signature pen. The cool breeze felt comfortable on her face. She raised her head and looked out the window, but she happened to meet the eyes of a boy sitting by the window.
The boy was peeking at Inoue Morimata, but Inoue Morimata suddenly looked over, a little at a loss.
And at this time, Inoue Mori thought of something Kei Fujiwara once said to her, that "the back row is by the window, the hometown of the king". That is to say, in many hot-blooded comics, people who sit in the second to last row by the window Everyone is the protagonist. So if you meet someone sitting in this position, don't provoke him easily.
Inoue Mori thought about it again, and it was really like this. Mr. Fujiwara is really an interesting person, and he always observes some particularly interesting phenomena.
Inoue Mori couldn't help but think of the time he and Fujiwara Kei worked and played together, and couldn't help but smile.
When the boy sitting by the window saw Inoue Morimata's smile, he suddenly jumped up and felt that Inoue Morimata was smiling at him again.
"She...does she like me?" The boy couldn't help but think to himself.
