Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 11 The failure of the new actress

Entering Nogizaka 46 in November, it is like an ordinary train stopping at each station of the JR Yamanote Line, suddenly changing to a fast limited express train bound for Narita Airport, and climbing up the slope at high speed.

There are three locations for "Where's Nogizaka?" alone, not counting the indoor recording part of the studio.In addition, the operation will hold four small-scale events in Tokyo, allowing members to draw quick portraits of about [-] fans in each event, and record the voices of the members' designated words on their mobile phones.

And Nogizaka46 will go to Osaka and Aichi Prefecture to hold national meet-and-greet meetings, and finally hold the "Nogizaka11 Talent Competition" on November 30. In addition to the training sessions on weekdays, the work schedule is fully arranged.

In addition, Kurokawa Aoi also has a job outside the village, an invitation to perform in "The Lonely Gourmet".

Nishi Ikebukuro, Toshima District, Tokyo, is located in the northwest of Tokyo. Kurokawa Aoi took the Tozai Line from Nishikasai where the dormitory is located to Otemachi Station, changed to the Marunouchi Line, got off at Ikebukuro Station, and walked out of the station After about 10 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.

In front of the gate of a commercial building, a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length short hair was waving to Aoi Kurokawa who was about to approach. Seeing this, Aoi Kurokawa stepped forward quickly and spoke.

"Good morning, I'm Aoi Kurokawa from Nogizaka46, please give me your advice" and formally bowed to the other party.

"Hi, it's also the first time I've met. I'm Hiroko Kawamura from TV TOKYO. Please give me your advice."

"Well, excuse me for being abrupt, but Kawamura-san can I ask a question?"

"Can I call you Kui Jiang? It's okay, just ask."

Hiroko Kawamura said after seeing Kurokawa Aoi nodding in agreement.

"Then why did you find me for this performance? According to the logic, Kawamura-san should not know or know of my existence, but why did you find me?"

Kurokawa Aoi was very puzzled about this matter, thinking that her mother called her suddenly before, which should be related to this matter.

"Didn't Chloe tell you about it? It's okay, let's go in first and talk while preparing"

The two came to an office similar to a real estate sales center in the building. Hiroko Kawamura took Kurokawa Aoi to a place like a lounge, asked her to sit down and ordered the makeup artist present to apply makeup to Kurokawa Aoi.

"Your mother and I have known each other for ten years because of work, and we have also become friends. It just so happens that I am in charge of the production of this drama this time, and I am looking for suitable performers. I also asked your mother to ask her to help find someone. I recommended you to me"

Although this matter sounded reasonable, it made me feel a little uncomfortable when I thought that I had the opportunity to perform because of my relationship.

"Silly boy, you have to know that in this circle, you rely on personal connections. Otherwise, why would thousands of entertainers choose you? But if you have no qualifications or talents, you think there will be another time." chance?"

As if she understood Kurokawa Aoi's mind, Kawamura Hiroko comforted her from a realistic point of view.

Nodding her head, she understood, but Kurokawa Aoi still wanted to ask.

"Why me, except because of my mother? You don't know anything about me, do you?"

"To put it simply, because of your face and height, your character only has less than 3 minutes of shots, and the focus is not on you, so it is enough if your acting skills are better than ordinary people."

"Because of the height of the main performer, I want to find a girl who is taller and has a beautiful appearance that attracts people's attention. It happens that you have both. Besides, your mother told me that you have performed in front of the camera. experience, so as it stands, is that enough to answer your question?"

Kurokawa Aoi understands that in this world of facial features, a good appearance is a passport, but how far they can go after entering the gate depends on their own abilities.Maybe I have the advantages brought by my parents behind me, but if I can't grasp the opportunity, there will be no next time.

It took less than 10 minutes to make up and hairstyling. In the dressing room, I changed into the work uniform for shooting. Aoi Kurokawa, who looked like she was in her 20s and was wearing a OL suit, was born.

Hiroko Kawamura led OL Kurokawa Aoi to the director of the series, Tadaki Horai, and introduced him.

"This is Aoi Kurokawa, who I recruited to play Sato, Director Bora, please see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"It's our first meeting, I'm Kurokawa Aoi from Nogizaka46, please give me your advice." Kurokawa Aoi took the lead in greeting each other and bowed according to the rules.

"Hello, I'm Director Bora Tadaki, please give me your advice"

After speaking, he looked up and down at Aoi Kurokawa in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Hiroko Kawamura: "Very good, the height and appearance are even better than I expected, where did Kawamura-san find him? Last month, there were 9 fires and 9 dramas”

"As long as you are satisfied, Kurokawa will leave it to you."

"Have you read all the scripts?" Bora Tadaki asked Kurokawa Aoi.

"I read the script and the dialogue in detail and wrote it down," Kurokawa Aoi replied seriously.

"Then before we wait for the lead actor to appear, let's rehearse according to the flow of the script. Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand something."

"Yes, I understand, ready to start"

According to the plot, Sato, played by Aoi Kurokawa, is a new rookie employee of this real estate sales office. He made an appointment to meet with the protagonist who manages imported kitchen utensils and groceries alone, but he forgot to notify the company's seniors in advance and was criticized and taught ( Mainly because she was jealous of her appearance), and then took the protagonist to visit the sample room (during which he was taught by the senior again), and expressed his intention to order tableware from him, and finally sent the protagonist out the door.

Kurokawa Aoi has only two acting opponents, the protagonist and the senior who troubled her.

She doesn't have many dialogues, but according to director Tadaaki Bora, all her character needs to do is to show her beauty and inadvertently revealing sexy temptation, not by exaggerated body language or clothing, but by The kind of coquettishness revealed between the implicit and unconscious.

Kurokawa Aoi thought for a while, followed the plot in her mind, bent forward with the protagonist who did not exist at the time, seemed to be studying the table decorations, with a subtle smile on her face, and a pair of winking eyes The corners of his eyes are looking at the direction of the protagonist, showing great interest and ready to move eyes, but a serious expression on his face, these two completely different contrasts create an inexplicable but obvious temptation .

"Very good! This is what I want. Please show it in the official shooting later. Kurokawa, do you have any acting experience before? You understand my requirements very well, and you will not be hesitant when you express it."

"Thank you Miao Zan. When I was young, I did have the experience of facing the camera for several years, so I didn't have any psychological pressure."

"Your ability to read and understand other people's meaning, and the ability to imagine performance are very important to become an excellent actor. I think you have the potential to reach higher and farther. Work hard."

Bora Tadaki is quite satisfied with Kurokawa Aoi's ability to communicate, imagine and create.

Hiroko Kawamura, who had been watching from the sidelines, watched all this with a smile on her face.

After rehearsing all the scenes and dialogues, director Tadaaki Bora felt that there was no problem, so he went to confirm the preparation of other parts.

At this time, a tall male figure came to the shooting scene where Aoi Kurokawa was. He was dressed in a typical white-collar office worker suit, with a square and tough face with a long chin. If he wore sunglasses to act as a member of the Yakuza organization, there would be no violation sexy appearance.

"Hi, Matsushige-san! It's the first time we meet, I'm Aoi Kurokawa from Nogizaka46, please give me your advice!"

Kurokawa Aoi, who was a little excited, hurriedly greeted senior Toyoto Matsushige.The other party is a well-known comedian who has performed in Dahe Opera, many well-known dramas and movies, and has collaborated with all popular actors.

"Ah, hello Kurokawa-san, please give me your advice when we meet for the first time. You are very beautiful and cute! By the way, where did Nogizaka 46 come from?"

Matsushige, who is quite different from the appearance of a tough guy, is quite gentle and talkative, and he took the initiative to chat with Aoi Kurokawa.

Aoi Kurokawa explained a little bit about Nogizaka46, and took the notebook with the cheek to get Matsushige to sign it for her.

Matsushige left a good impression on Aoi Kurokawa, who had an outstanding appearance and was sincere and polite in his dealings with others.

Everything is ready, first there will be a formal rehearsal, followed by a shot trial, and finally the official shooting.All the shots are basically passed in one pass, except for the scene where Kurokawa Aoi and Matsushige are sitting opposite each other, Kurokawa Aoi looks at Matsushige who is frowning like a bitter melon, and can't help laughing, so I have to retake it .

Although the scene was only 3 minutes long, the entire filming process took more than two hours. It was really 1 years of hard work on and off the stage for [-] minute.

After shooting, with the help of the makeup artist, the makeup was removed, and after changing into his own clothes, he was accompanied by Hiroko Kawamura to the gate of the building.

"Kui Jiang, you are born to eat the food of the entertainment industry, I am very optimistic about you, you call your mother to report, I will not send you if I still have a job."

Hiroko Kawamura is quite satisfied with her choice. The performance of the girl is unexpectedly good. She is not at all like a young actor who has only played a subservient role for two or three years. Naturally, she has no stage fright in her performance, and she is on the same stage with a big actor like Matsushige. The performance is not timid either, this child is not yet 20 years old, she is a talented person, and with her external qualifications, it is just around the corner to become a popular actress.

"Thank you again for Kawamura-san's care, please do as you please, I can do it myself." Aoi Kurokawa bowed deeply to Hiroko Kawamura, sincerely thanking him for his support and care.

"Just call me Auntie Kawamura, see you next time"

After saying goodbye to the other party and waving, Aoi Kurokawa rushed to the next place, where the location of the food review was waiting for her.

After taking the tram for more than half an hour, I came to Asakusa from Ikebukuro. Following the address sent by my manager's sister, I came to a Chinese restaurant. A group of filming staff and several members of Nogizaka were preparing to shoot.

Quickly came to Shiraishi Mai's side, put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Mai Xiang, do you miss me? What's going on now?"

Mai Shiraishi was slightly taken aback, and felt relieved when she saw that it was Aoi Kurokawa. She put her arms around her and said, "You almost scared me. Just now, the part of Rena and Youdan was completed, and now we will start filming Xiao Mi and Aoi." A koma sauce, followed by the two of us at the end"

"It just so happens that I'm a little hungry, I hope I don't have to wait too long." Kurokawa Aoi rubbed her stomach and said.

"It's only about ten minutes. By the way, is your morning filming going well?" Mai Shiraishi paid more attention to Kurokawa Aoi's filming work than the food comment later.

"That's it, but I'm very excited to see Matsushige-san in person, and to be able to act with him! Let me tell you, Matsushige-san is very gentle and easy to talk, and"

Aoi Kurokawa happily told about the shooting experience, Mai Shiraishi also listened with gusto, Kazumi Takayama and the others finished shooting in a blink of an eye.

"How is it? Is the food delicious? Is it difficult to review food?"

Kurokawa and Shiraishi came to the two who had just finished, hoping to get some experience from each other.

"The food is nothing special, neither good nor bad, but it's really difficult to review food, and I don't know what to say," Ikoma said a little frustrated.

"Yes, yes, I was very nervous at first, and when I panicked, I would speak incoherently. In the end, I could only say "hmmmmmm" and couldn't say anything." Kazumi Takayama also had a bitter melon-like face, and he couldn't even remember the taste of the food. I can't get up.

"Kurokawa-san, Shiraishi-san, are you ready?" the AD-san in charge spoke.

"Okay, come now." Aoi Kurokawa dragged Mai Shiraishi away after answering.

"Come on!"*2
"Time is of the essence, you can start directly from eating food, you go in and sit down and get ready"

"Yes, I understand"*2
The two entered the store and sat at the same table as Ikoma and Xiaoshi just now. With the sound of "start", the camera began to shoot and record.

A bowl of fried noodles with hanging sauce was placed in front of two people, each with a pair of chopsticks and spoons.

"So, I'm going"*2
Hungry, Kurokawa Aoi picked up the noodles with her chopsticks, stuffed them into her mouth, and said "um" and "delicious" while chewing.

Mai Shiraishi picked up a piece of fried noodles and said, "Ah, it's the same as Baby Star instant noodles."

Aoi Kurokawa, who had just swallowed the food, looked at Mai Shiraishi strangely, and said, "Does Baby Star have instant noodles that taste like fried noodles with sauce? Why didn't I know?" The two of them didn't eat instant noodles when they were young. I've tried all the flavors, but I've never heard of this one.

"No, I mean the texture of this noodle is the same as Baby Star, not the taste"

"Really? I don't think it looks like it when I eat it. Baby Star is crispy like baked cornflakes, but this fried noodles is soft and moist, but it tastes good." Mouth stuffed.

Wei Wei took two bites, and Mai Shiraishi said again: "Is it really the same as Baby Star instant noodles?"

At this time, the chef in the store said: "You can add some vinegar to the noodles to eat."

Mai Shiraishi followed suit, added a little vinegar and took a sip, suddenly laughed and said, "It really tastes like Baby Star."

Aoi Kurokawa also asked in doubt: "Boss, do you have the original Baby Star instant noodles here? I like the original ones."

If it weren't for the presence of the filming staff, I don't know if the two of them could walk out intact.

The filming work is barely complete here.
