Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 141 Even if you use all your strength, it will be difficult to keep up with his pace, right?

Acting is a skill.

The crying scene is one of the more difficult skills to master, and it can also be regarded as a big test of acting skills.

For professional actors.

The crying scene is actually not that difficult.

As long as the emotions are well brewed, most actors can actually cry.

The main difficulty lies in the requirements given by the director.

Some directors who are easy to get along with have relatively simple requirements.

They simply need the actors to be able to ‘cry’ and not cry so ugly and unphotogenic, which meets their requirements.

But some directors with higher requirements are different.

He will make you cry and laugh, or make you laugh and cry. If you increase the difficulty, it is not impossible to make you cry and laugh at the same time.

Sometimes my eyes are swollen from crying, and my lacrimal glands can no longer secrete tears.

But the director is still dissatisfied and wishes that the actors' tears would flow out like a water pump, allowing them to continue crying - this kind of thing also happens.

In summary.

The difficulty of performing a crying scene actually mainly depends on the director's requirements for the actor's acting skills.

And Jun Shiraishi, the director of "Night Walk", is undoubtedly the type who strives for excellence in acting.

Anyone who knows him well knows this.

"The next scene is a crying scene, Director Shiraishi."

As the screenwriter of "Night Walk", Otsu Mikisai flipped through the script.

"Um."

Shiraishi Jun nodded expressionlessly.

"Sure enough, it's still a bit forced, isn't it? Director Shiraishi."

Otsu Sankisai closed the notebook and couldn't help but shook his head.

"I still don't understand why you replaced that kid Tachibana Ayumi and instead chose a second-rate guy in the industry."

As a screenwriter who is part of the golden triangle of directors, screenwriters and producers.

He really didn't understand why the other party would make such a sudden change of generals.

You must know that Tachibana Ayumi is a top-notch male servant in the industry.

There is no reason to replace him at all.

And just change it.

The key is--

"You gave this sub-contractor named Kitazumi Minoru two days in total to familiarize himself with the script. Isn't this too thoughtless?"

Otsu Makisai frowned.

You need to know that Kitumi Minoru got the script and went on stage today.

There are only two days during this period.

Plus primary school homework, as well as daily eating, drinking and sleeping to solve physical problems.

Against all odds, he only had more than ten hours to familiarize himself with the script.

More than ten hours.

It is a bit impossible for a top actor in the industry to become familiar with the script in such a short period of time.

Not to mention that the script of "Night Walk" is adapted from the original mystery novel.

The amount of character information and dialogue is considerable.

When he was in charge of the adaptation, he almost scratched his head.

In addition, I want to restore the taste of the original work.

It is also up to Kitumi to figure out the relationship between Kirihara Kenji and Nishizono Miho in these ten hours, which is more complicated than love.

Taking each of these conditions individually is a bit difficult.

Do you want to mix them all together?

It's a bit impossible for adult actors, let alone an eight-year-old child.

That's because the person in front of him is Shiraishi Jun.

If it had been another director, he would have posted on his personal homepage that "it is the director's decision to change directors on the spot, not his own will", completely shirk the responsibility.

You must know that it is "Night Walk", an adaptation of one of the most popular mystery novels in Japan in the past two years!

If it really sucks.

He simply couldn't imagine how many people were pointing at him and scolding him in his posts.

Originally, as the screenwriter of "Night Walk", he didn't have to come to the scene.

But I was afraid that I might be scolded so badly that I didn't dare to go out.

That's why he came here specifically to check on the situation today.

"no problem."

Shiraishi Jun's voice was still so calm.

This kind of expression of Taishan collapse without change of expression made Otsu Makizai a little speechless.

No more.

He really couldn't figure out why Shiraishi Jun was so confident in Kitaki Minoru.

Could it be that he felt that Beicheng had grown two brains? Can dual-thread processing be performed?

But forget it——

After all, the opponent is Jun Shiraishi, last year's Best Director of the Year.

Maybe the actor he believed in had some special talent for crying scenes?

Think of this.

Otsu Makisai turned his attention to Kitaki Minoru on the other side.

I want to see how the emotions are brewing on Kitami Minoru's side.

Then

Then he fell silent.

The whole person stumbled forward a little unsteadily.

Because in his gaze.

Kitaki Minoru was not alone in his emotions.

The other party even chatted and laughed with the staff around him.

no? What are you doing?

Otsu Sankizai was stunned.

in the industry.

Even extremely talented actors want to cry in front of the camera.

It takes at least two or three minutes to brew emotionally.

Even Rie Kitayama, who had been slacking off on the other side of the filming crew, had already fake-cryed once to clear her tear ducts.

But what about Kitaki Minoru?

Don't pretend to cry, he is even smiling now.

You know, the next shot is very fast.

Just briefly explain the environment, and in a few seconds the camera will move to Kitami Minori's face.

Could it be that Beicheng really felt that he would cry within a few seconds from the moment he entered the mirror?

Ziyi who can cry in ten seconds?

Um.

Otsu Sankisai tried to imagine.

Then--

Is it too late to change the actors now?

He really wanted to ask Shiraishi Jun.

But just thinking about it, I knew it was probably too late.

The shooting time for an episode of "Night Walk" is only four or five days.

Now that filming is starting, it’s impossible to find a second subservant willing to take over this mess.

Otsu Sankisai felt a little dazed and unsteady on his feet.

It's over.

It's really over.

If this episode is broadcast on Fuji TV.

So as a screenwriter, he shouldn't bear the brunt? Being pointed at and scolded by countless readers of the original work?

But what can you do if you don’t get scolded?

Expect Beicheng to adjust his emotions in a few seconds and then cry?

Otsu Makisai sighed, he had already accepted his fate.

It's just that it's different from him who has already resigned himself to his fate.

On the other side, Kitayama Rie pretended to cry several times, and then 'unblocked' her tear ducts.

Then he looked at Kitaki Minoru in front of him.

She was quite concerned about what Shiraishi Jun said to her just now.

After all, although Junto Shiraishi is not very good.

But he is really serious about his acting skills.

The other party can also be regarded as the first person to know his own level.

But

If you don’t use your full strength, you won’t be able to keep up with Kitumi Minoru’s pace?

Are you saying that she might not be able to handle Kitami Minoru's scenes?

This is too exaggerated.

To put it bluntly.

From her debut to now, she has never met the kind of ziyue who can make her unable to take on the role.

Her three-point strength is basically the level that other subordinates can do their best.

This is also an important reason why Shiraishi Jun kicked Tachibana Ayumi away without even kicking her away.

In the end, Shiraishi Jun said that he couldn't take Kitumi Minoru's play?

Although we have always maintained an energy-saving style.

But Rie Kitayama is just a child after all, and she still has the most basic competitive spirit.

She took a deep breath.

The lackluster expression just now subsided, and his expression became slightly more serious.

She wanted to see what it would take to prevent her from being able to handle Beicheng Minoru's play.

Field recorder.

The camera begins to slide along the track.

This scene mainly tells the story of young Kirihara Kenji looking for his favorite playmate Miho Sazono.

Climb through the vent duct into a small, abandoned room.

There, he found his father and Miho Nishizono, who was naked and ashen-faced.

During the argument with his father, he recalled scenes of getting along with Nishizono Miho.

The story of a young Kenji Kirihara who burst into tears, lost his mind, and accidentally killed his father with the paper scissors in his hand.

Among them are some of the most critical crying scenes.

The background arranged by the props team is very good.

Dark abandoned mansion room.

Paint buckets and scaffolding are placed everywhere.

The gray plastic sheet was like Miho Nishizono's turbid heart, covering the entire ground.

The atmosphere is really good.

Even Rie Kitayama couldn't help but praise Shiraishi Jun's filming team in her heart - they are indeed very capable.

At the instruction of the staff.

Kitayama Rie started to take off her clothes - of course, she didn't really take off her clothes, she just took off her clothes and then gave a shot of the clothes on the ground slipping off.

In this way, the audience has the feeling that Miho Nishizono is taking off her clothes.

As the clothes slipped off the body one by one.

Kitayama Rie's originally lively and pretty face began to look dim.

The bright eyes slowly lost their color.

Young girls would probably cry and yell when they encounter this kind of thing, right?

But Nishizono Miho didn't even have the strength to cry.

Being begged by her mother and half-forced into prostitution, she was just a corpse.

A living zombie.

Her face was lifeless.

He just peeled off the clothes from his body one by one with dull eyes.

Use this to cater to the dirty desires of the man in front of you.

The filming lights flickered.

The shadow of evil is also intertwined.

"This girl's acting skills are very good."

Otsu Makizai's eyes lit up.

Kitayama Rie's performance exceeded his expectations.

There is obviously no line.

Remain silent throughout.

But it seemed to really pull him into the world of "Night Walk".

In fact, Rie Kitayama is also very satisfied with her performance.

It can be said that Miho Nishizono in "Night Walk" is restored without any flaws.

So what about Kitazumi Minoru?

She continued to maintain a dead expression, but her eyes had already been raised to look at Kitumi Minoru who was preparing to enter the venue on the other side.

Can't keep up?

Then we need to see if she is serious about it.

As long as she takes it seriously, even Kitazumi--

"Why?"

She paused for a moment and stared at Kitumi Minoru who had already entered the venue in astonishment.

The boy who was smiling just a second ago.

Something changed in the next second.

His temperament was completely different from before.

That little face.

It was packed with expressions that even Kitayama Rie could not describe.

Anger, sadness, resentment and deep loss.

What exactly did you see?

How can an eight-year-old child show such eyes and expressions?

It was as if Kita Sumire was not looking at this shooting scene.

But at something more distant.

In the real world of "Night Walk", the dark and gloomy room where Nishizono Miho was abused by her father.

"This is Kenji, you misunderstood, I and her"

Defense.

This was the pale defense of Kirihara Kenji's father, forcing a smile.

Kirihara Kenji did not speak, let alone expression.

However, the slightly trembling lips and the loneliness that flashed across his eyes made Kitayama Rie stunned.

Kirihara Kenji is a kind child.

He didn't understand why his father did such a thing.

His father was still defending.

He grabbed Kirihara Kenji's shoulders with both hands and begged him not to tell his mother about this.

He even brought out the lame excuse of "She also agreed, didn't you see that she didn't resist? '.

But these voices.

Kirihara Kenji couldn't hear them.

Because he thought of the memories of his previous relationship with Nishizono Miho.

"Look, Miho, the old man and old woman in front are holding hands."

Kirihara Kenji followed her, pointing at the old people holding hands in front, and occasionally looking at Nishizono Miho's snow-white palm.

This is the boy's immature love for the girl.

In response to this.

She responded——

The snow-white palm gently pulled the boy's palm.

In the quiet and leisurely alley.

She smiled at him.

She was so happy.

Kirihara Kenji pursed his lips and then loosened them.

Under the dim light.

He still had no expression.

He clenched his fists tightly.

On his face.

There were only silent tears.

Glittering under the light.

Quiet.

Especially quiet!

At that moment.

Rie Kitayama subconsciously held her breath.

Because the scene of Kita Sumire crying silently was so shocking.

It seemed that not only his face had a crying expression.

Even his soul was crying with him.

There was an indescribable charm of extreme sadness.

She couldn't help but be attracted by the other's tears and was fascinated by them.

She wanted to say something.

But the words were stuck in her mouth and she couldn't say them at all.

Then——

"Nishizono Miho, Nishizono Miho, why are you crying with me? It's not your time to cry yet."

The reminder from the loudspeaker suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Huh?"

It was not until then that Kitayama Rie touched her cheek and realized that she had actually started to cry without knowing when.

Oops! This is a bit nonsense!

Thinking that it was not good, Kitayama Rie blushed and hurriedly fixed her makeup.

As the heroine, she was actually crying with the hero.

This was a big problem during the filming.

But the main reason was that Kita Sumimi's silent sobbing just now was too tempting!

To put it bluntly.

How could anyone make such a foul expression?

That kind of pitiful, subconsciously wanting to be protected crying face plus his own extremely deceptive, handsome and cute appearance, any girl would fall for him, right?

Did he add all the extra points to his charm? Can this guy be so attractive?

Before, Shiraishi Jun said that it would be difficult for him to keep up with Kitasumi Mi's pace without trying his best.

But

"Even if I try my best, I still can't keep up with this guy's pace, right?"

Looking at Kitasumi Mi, who seemed to have taken back his "tears" with a slurp and was chatting and laughing with the staff next to him.

Kitayama Rie couldn't help scratching her head, feeling a little complicated.

This was the first time she felt that there was such a big gap between her and her peers.

On the other side.

Otsu Mikiya went through three stages of his mental journey-

'The heart that was hanging finally died', then 'The heart that was hanging was hanging again', and finally 'The heart that was hanging finally came alive'.

The main thing was that he didn't expect it at all.

Kitasumi Mi could actually perform so perfectly.

You have to know that they only gave Kitasumi two days in total.

He was able to memorize the script completely and understand the character's psychology in two days.

Could it be that this actor really has two brains?

He shook his head.

Throw out the messy thoughts.

No matter what.

The things he worried about before should not happen - he would most likely not be scolded by others.

Similarly, he was a little sighing.

"Director Shiraishi is really worthy of it. Is this why you chose this actor? It turns out that his performance was within your expectations."

Recalling Kitasumi's accomplishments in crying scenes just now.
