Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

After taking a small notebook and writing down the name of Puchi Fazi and the name of the program on the TV, Su Yun went out and called the staff.

"Please make this call for me." Su Yun lifted up the note that recorded the phone number of the Iwasaki Geisha House.

After the staff helped to get through the phone, Su Yun spoke to Iwasaki Mineko: "...Yes, I saw a very clever little girl on a TV show, about my age, the name of the show and That girl's name is..."

Iwasaki Mineko has been the top geisha in Japan for many years at a young age, and her network resources are naturally unimaginable for ordinary people. When she heard Su Yun say this, she immediately responded: "Okay, I see, I will let you Someone contacted friends in Kyushu to help pay attention."

Su Yun nodded, and finally chatted with Mineko Iwasaki about the upcoming audition questions and time, then hung up the phone and turned to look at Zhuang Long who had been staring at her.

"Why keep looking at me?" Su Yun raised her head.

"You are too busy, you don't look like a child of this age at all." Zhuang Long laughed.

"I don't think a person who left his hometown and traveled half a world away by himself at a young age has any right to say that I am not of age." Su Yun snorted.

Remembering that he also received meager funding and went to the United States to seek a living when he was very young, Zhuang Long shook his head and laughed: Yes, he has no right to judge others. Everyone is just forced to grow up early in order to survive.

It's just that I didn't feel it when I was going through those hardships, but when I saw Su Yun's little one going around so hard, I felt a little distress that might be "sympathy for each other".

"Oh, don't take it to heart, I just don't like to be disadvantaged when I talk, I don't want to argue with you, I'm so generous—" Su Yun saw Zhuang Long's pitiful gaze again before finishing a few words of persuasion, Immediately, my scalp tingled, "Don't look at me with such eyes, I enjoy this kind of life of running around!"

"It's so wonderful to see different things from all over the world, and they will change with the development of the times. It's amazing!" Su Yun fantasized with longing: she can't rely on the Internet to stay at home. Roaming in the global village, wouldn't it be equally wonderful for her to change the way, follow the wheel of history, and measure the earth with her feet?

From this, it can be seen that in this era of extremely underdeveloped Internet, what kind of situation has been forced into the former net bug dead house...

"Okay, listen to your words." When the two were alone, they naturally spoke Cantonese, their hometown dialect. Zhuang Long once again responded with that chinchilla-like smile that made Su Yun speechless.

"Listen to your words" translates to "I listen to you", and it is usually used in occasions where the younger generation speaks to the elders or men speak to women. If Su Yun grows up a few more years, this scene will have a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

Now——Actually, the age gap between the two is really not that big. The 12-year gap is not a problem for adults at all. It is a pity that Zhuang Long is under 22 years old this year, and Su Yun is under 10 years old... such a The comparison is shocking.

As for Su Yun, a little lolita, no matter how cute she is, she can't think of love.

What's more, the two of them don't have any intention of falling in love yet, and they are all focused on their careers.

However, there are still other feelings: outsiders seem to be year-end friends; Zhuang Long probably treats Su Yun as a younger sister or even as a daughter. He was a senior brother back then, and he took care of his juniors and sisters so much that he was raised. Subconsciously take care of weak habits.

But Su Yun, who seems to need to be taken care of, has such a mentality——

Look, my new beautiful baby SSR!

This must be taken care of!When I grow up, I can earn a lot of money for my dad!

Su Yun, who was completely cheated by the various mobile games of the later generations, now looks at people as if a bald manipulator is looking at all kinds of dazzling magic cards in the card pool...

With this prophetic idea of ​​collecting stamps, when the audition day came, Su Yun followed Iwasaki Mineko and Kurosawa Akira to the place where the actors auditioned.

Because they are the first to release the movie version this time, there is no need for Mineko Iwasaki to carefully delete and adapt the story that was originally her experience like when Mineko Iwasaki made the Japanese version of "Flower Wars: Memoirs of a True Geisha" in Japan. The names of the characters have also been greatly revised, just to separate them from the Hollywood version of "Memoirs of a Geisha".

When Akira Kurosawa was filming, he also liked to write and direct himself. After everyone read the first draft of the script in the hotel room that day, Su Yun followed the experience of the two generations and combined the similarities and differences of the two versions of the movie. , put forward many amendments.

In the first draft that Mineko Iwasaki asked someone to help write, he was too focused on showing all kinds of knowledge about geisha, just like cramming ducks, trying to stuff a lot of things about geisha to the audience in just one movie. , so that the plot is extremely thin-this is also a common mistake when laymen want to intervene with experts.

Fortunately, Mineko Iwasaki knew where to delegate power. After Su Yun and Kurosawa Akira frowned slightly after reading the script, she generously told them that the story line she experienced in the past was like this, and asked them to work on this main line. On this basis, a certain degree of sub-line and detail adaptation suitable for film shooting is carried out.

As long as it doesn't make random adaptations like Gordon, Mineko Iwasaki will have nothing to say.

So Su Yun and Kurosawa Akira, the old and the young, really got together and discussed in a hurry, and temporarily set the main line of the story: from the "Little Chiyo" in childhood, to the girl The life of "Yuriko" during the period, and then the life of "the owner of the geisha hall" after adulthood.

The first love is the reason that inspires Xiao Chiyo to make up his mind to become a geisha regardless of difficulties and obstacles. At the same time, his accident is also the reason why Yuriko's career was chased up by the same period; The cheered up Yuriko finally defeated all the competitors and truly became the heir and owner of the Geisha House.

Geisha is a profession that eats youthful food. Even if the glamor remains undiminished as you get older, the ending will either be to retreat to the second line according to the rules to match the new generation of geisha; or you will quit the geisha career and start a family with the person you recognize. , have children and live some quiet life.

So the truth is that geishas are not like Gordon's story, they can only be "half-wives" for men, and they can never truly stay with the one they love for a lifetime.

Rather, as long as she chooses to quit the geisha career at the right time, a woman who is no longer a geisha can still form a peaceful but beautiful family with her lover just like ordinary women.

The world and people's feelings are so wonderful. The love that Mineko Iwasaki did not expect in her teenage years met after she became famous.

In addition, the knowledge and vision accumulated from years of working in the teahouse and chatting with all the literati in teahouses made her gradually discover the outdated side of the geisha industry in the wave of social development—but even as a The owner of a well-known ancient geisha hall, she alone cannot compete with the traditions and rules of the entire geisha industry.

The traditional culture represented by geisha will eventually decline with the passage of time.

Even if geniuses may appear in the future to innovate and improve it in the era of fusion, it will not be the "geisha" it used to be.

Therefore, she decided that at the age of 29, the age when geisha need to gradually retreat to the second line, she chose to retreat bravely, separate tradition and improvement, and make herself a part of the "tradition" that retreats with time.

Now Mineko Iwasaki is 25 years old, and she still has 4 years of peak time to prepare for her future retirement.

No wonder she started preparing her memoir at a young age: because what this memoir recalls is not her life story, but a traditional profession that was once glorious but is bound to decline and change.

Having said that, the people who are going to audition today must be the one who auditioned for the protagonist.

Because she was sitting next to the director, it was not easy to go over and ask for warmth, so Su Yun almost couldn't bear to blink her eyes and stared at the Showa beauties who came to the audition the whole time.

Momoe Yamaguchi, who came to audition for the role of Yuriko, is still a 15-year-old young rookie who has only debuted for two years.Although the appearance is not the beauty of the standard beauty with three courts and five eyes in the traditional sense, the unique and refined temperament that takes time to understand is very moving.

And the age and acting skills are in perfect contrast, the freshness and naivety of the girl is very well interpreted by her, so I thought that her appearance, which is not a beauty at first glance, is not in the same style as Su Yun, so it is not good to take on the role, so I am a little picky Akira Kurosawa let go of his original thoughts.

After Momoe Yamaguchi is basically decided to play the heroine in her youth, the next thing is Sayuri Yoshinaga, who is stunning and attractive at first glance, with a similar style to Su Yun.

This legendary actress named Lily, regardless of her acting skills, image or even her name, is a perfect match for Yuriko, who has become the owner of a geisha hall later on. Therefore, Su Yun and Kurosawa can make a decision directly without looking at other people.

When preparing to audition for the other two adult supporting actresses with a lot of roles, Mineko Iwasaki, who answered a phone call, spoke first: "I contacted Kabuki through a friend I knew before. Xikage married into a Kabuki family in 72. Junko Fuji—of course she's now called Junko Tomiji."

"Through our efforts, Tomiji Junko said that she can come back as the role of 'Mamiha' who will guide Yuriko." Iwasaki Mineko put the information on the desktop.

Unlike Zhuang Long who doesn't know Japanese so he can only keep silent and pretend that he is a man who can also act as a tool for the show when necessary, Su Yun pretends to be curious and leans over to have a look: Tomi Junko, the famous producer of Toei. Daughter, so the starring films can be equipped with the top lineup and production team that Toei can do at that time, and even Takakura Ken is the existence of running a trick for her...

Although the family conditions are unique, but this is not lying to win - the images of women in Dongying films are mostly weak and demure, but she is weak on the surface and violent. She is a rare martial arts actress who shows her strong image. This ushered in Toei's Ren Xia movie era.

Perhaps the world line will always be closed and repaired in a subtle way: in the later Hollywood version of "Memoirs of a Geisha", the famous Chinese martial arts actress Yang Zhixi played the role of Mami Yu.

Not only is it the status of a rare martial arts actress, but even the temperament and appearance of the two are somewhat similar.

Although Toho, where Akira Kurosawa works, and Toei, where Junko Tomiji was born, are competitors, but now the person who is connecting is Iwasaki Mineko, who is quite influential in any industry, and the two companies can only helplessly Collaborated once.

After deciding on the candidate for the role of Mami Yu, Su Yun and the others began to audition for the next role: This time, they were looking for the former oiran Hatsumomo who was always bullying her because she was afraid of Chiyo's aptitude.

It's a pity that this time's luck was not as good as before. After seeing more than a dozen newcomers in succession, none of them were suitable, and the spirit of the group of people became weak.

"Next." The staff greeted the next audition newcomer to come in.

After seeing clearly the appearance of the next person who came in, Su Yun was immediately refreshed.

However, the person being watched is completely unaware.

After greeting everyone with a newcomer's slightly reserved and respectful attitude, she began to introduce herself under the gesture of Akira Kurosawa: "My name is Yuko Tanaka, and I am a drama major at Meiji University..."
