Chapter 42 Greater challenges

In the past year of 09, Sakura Somesaki rejected all invitations from TV dramas and movies, and concentrated on developing akb48's career.This is not only because she needs to keep her career at a balanced stage, but also because the next goal set by the firm for Somesaki Sakura is to hope that Somesaki Sakura will move to a higher position.

Since Sakura Somesaki officially debuted as an actress, she has taken on dozens of roles, both large and small, including leading roles and supporting roles, but none of them are works that are heavy enough to allow her to win awards.

Of course, within a year after her debut, Sakura Somesaki won the newcomer award of various awards, and, with the two TV series "14-year-old mother" and "Honey and Clover", she also won However, the weight of these awards does not allow Somesaki Sakura to truly rank among the first-line actresses. If she wants to truly have a place in the film and television industry,

Somezaki Sakura still lacks a truly important award.

It is said that movie actors are more expensive than TV drama actors. Similarly, movie awards are more important than TV drama awards.As an actor, Somesaki Sakura's nationality in Japan is enough now, what she lacks is a good work.Therefore, when there was no good script in 09, the BURNING agency would rather let Somesaki Sakura stay silent, and in 10, it was time for the agency to really work hard.

"Confession" is the firm's first step in choosing Somezaki Sakura.Although it is not the main character, the film is not only the director, the production team, but also the protagonist.

As far as actors are concerned, they are all absolute heavyweights.The director had already said before the filming started that this film was his masterpiece for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

With such a strong lineup, it is impossible for the firm to be so stupid as to refuse it.

However, because Somesaki Sakura's role in "Confession" is not very intense, even if Somesaki Sakura spends a lot of time every day studying scripts and practicing lines, the agency will not allow the crew to take up too much of her time.With the rise of Sakura Somesaki's popularity, there are a lot of activities and endorsements coming to her door. Some firms can refuse, but some firms don't want to refuse.

Therefore, while shooting, Somesaki Sakura also has to take care of various activities.

Not to mention the various activities arranged for her by the agency, akb48 also has a lot of things to do.

In the second half of March, akb48 held a "full seated hope, praise or dislike" concert in the Yokohama Stadium, which can accommodate more than 7000 people. This is also the largest concert since the establishment of akb48.

But even though it was the biggest concert since akb48's inception, it didn't get Sakura Somezaki excited.Running between the crew and the theater every day, Somesaki Sakura is exhausted.Especially after the crew spent a lot of energy on filming, when returning to the rehearsal of the crew, Somesaki Sakura was basically in a state of extreme exhaustion, and could almost fall asleep standing up.

In the same state as her, there are Maeda Atsushi and Oshima Yu. As the absolute main force of AKB48, the three of them rarely even participate in the basic activities of AKB48. Such a state has already caused many fans to complain.

At this time, teams A, K, and B have completed the Qianqiule performance of the previous performance, which means that the original old members have left one after another to join the new team, and the captain of the team has also begun to officially take on the responsibility of the team. responsibility.

The change of personnel and the poor state of the ace in the team, during the rehearsal, the whole akb48 made people feel impetuous. Yasushi Akihara always saw these in his eyes, but he didn't say anything until the end of the first day of the concert .

"Although everyone has worked very hard, I think you still failed to control a huge stage like Yokohama Stadium today. I hope everyone can summarize and reflect on it, and continue to work hard tomorrow."

A basin of cold water was poured directly on the heads of all excited members.No one thought that their performance would be criticized.

After Akihara Yasushi left, the lounge fell silent. At this time, Takahashi Kusu, who was too tired to stand up, stood up with the support of Somesaki Sakura and Maeda Atsushi, and said this sentence to everyone: "Every one of us People must work hard wholeheartedly, and even save time for sleeping to practice. Many people have more work and cannot practice with everyone.

Row. 'I really want to sleep, now I must sleep for a while', this kind of thought should be removed from the mind.Only by enduring these things can we be qualified to stand on the stage with dignity.The staff are also working very hard. If we don't do well, all this will be meaningless.For the future of AKB48, SKE48, and SDN48, I hope everyone will work harder.please! "

Perhaps Gao Qiaonan has such a natural leadership ability. Her words can always convince everyone. At this moment, everyone cheers up. Maeda Atsushi said flatly: "Tomorrow morning, I will do my best." Saki Sakura also smiled and said: "I don't want to be compared, come on!"

In an instant, everyone regained their fighting spirit.Somesaki Sakura also patted her face to cheer herself up, it's not her style to be depressed like this.

The concert on the second day can be said to have come to a perfect conclusion. AKB48 not only announced the No.17 single "Ponytail and Hair Circle" to be released, but also announced the news of the new member's transfer.

After the concert, Somesaki Sakura's role in "Confession" has also entered the stage of finishing, but Somesaki Sakura has not relaxed at all.

At the end of May, akb48 officially released "Ponytail and Hair Circle". At the same time, with the release of this single, akb48's second popularity election officially kicked off.

But Somezaki Sakura joined the crew of "Sakura" at this time.

Why did you say that the drama "Sakura" required a great challenge to Somesaki Sakura's acting skills?It is because in this play, Somesaki Sakura needs to play the role of a geisha, and a geisha with a dual personality.

Geisha, not "geisha", means a professional who makes a living through talent.

Initially, this profession arose in Tokyo and Osaka in the 17th century in Japan, and all geisha at that time were men. It was not until the middle of the 18th century, after the first female geisha appeared, that the profession of geisha gradually became a female profession.

Most of the female prostitutes working in the geisha industry are glamorous and tender, with gorgeous costumes, knowledge of books and etiquette, and are especially good at singing, dancing and playing the piano.Geisha is an elegant profession and does not engage in erotic services.Instead, a geisha must pledge her fidelity.Every geisha is not allowed to get married, and can only have one man as his "danna" in his life to take care of his own life.

After World War II, the geisha industry once reached its peak.It's just developed so far, due to its strict requirements and regulations, it has gradually declined.Today in Japan, there are less than 200 women who can really be recognized as geisha.Moreover, these women only serve people of high status.A woman who can become a geisha must be a very outstanding person.

The role that Somesaki Sakura will play is a real geisha in the 21st century city.

In itself, playing a geisha is already very difficult.Playing a real geisha means that in every way, Somesaki

Sakura wants to do her best as a woman.Culture, etiquette, language, decoration, poems and books, qin and se, even bowing, serving wine, etc., have strict requirements for every move, word and deed.As a person who has never received geisha training, Somesaki Sakura undoubtedly has challenges in playing a good geisha.

What's more, what she wants to play is a geisha with a split personality.

One side is a gentle and noble "Tai Fu" (the highest level of praise for geisha), and the other side is a dark and bloody devil in his heart. Somezaki Sakura has to switch between these two sides freely in the play. The difficulty of filming is almost as simple as playing a Geisha doubles.

Therefore, before filming, Somesaki Sakura simply went to Mukoshima in Tokyo, which is one of the only six remaining flower and willow circles in Japan. There are 18 high-end restaurants that can provide geisha services.

"Mukoshima Modi Group" is the management organization and training organization of Mukoshima geisha, and it is here that Somesaki Sakura saw most of the geisha training.

Everything in it makes Somesaki Sakura amazed.Dancing, musical instruments, vocal music, reciting poems and singing ballads, these geisha who have just started to accompany guests are already proficient in eighteen weapons, playing and singing, there is nothing they do not know.With such a level, the person in charge of the organization also said that none of these prospective geisha has reached the real standard, and they still need to be trained for a long time before they can truly reach the level of a professional geisha.

And Somesaki Sakura was even more amazed after asking about the geisha training project.From six o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening, the girls have been training here, and after six o'clock, they will start to receive guests and practice their speaking skills in the reception.This kind of training is already extremely hard, but it is already hundreds of times better than the ancient training. The traditional geisha training is even more difficult than this.

In addition to seeing the training of these geisha, Somesaki Sakura also specially ordered a "taifu" in a high-end hotel to accompany him after six o'clock in the evening. Somezaki Sakura was really shocked when Chuchu learned about the remuneration for the TV series.

However, the service of this "husband" is really good. Her words and deeds only make Somesaki Sakura feel the gentleness of spring rain. No matter what topic Somesaki Sakura brings up, she can pick it up very freely. This is A truly noble and learned woman, far beyond the average Japanese woman.

Somesaki Sakura felt that it was really not easy for her to act well in this movie.
