Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

After letting the audience withhold their applause, Cao Zhiqiang continued to dominate the show and actually became a host, asking Zhu Lin, Xu Qingdong and Sakai Masaaki to comment on Nakano Yuri's acting skills.

That's right, I only commented on Nakano Yuri, not Cao Zhiqiang himself.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is just co-acting, and the real starring role is Nakano Yuri.

All of a sudden, a screening ceremony was turned into an actor selection meeting.

Although this situation makes people speechless, this screening ceremony was originally a relatively casual fan meeting, and there was no fixed process, so everyone just went with Cao Zhiqiang's approach.

Of course, the main reason is that the performance just now was really good, which can be seen from the applause of the audience.

So, Zhu Lin, Xu Qingdong, and even Sakai Masaaki all gave good reviews.

The three of them all agreed that Miss Yuri Nakano has excellent acting skills and a very good performance, and she already has the qualities of a good actress.

Masaaki Sakai even said seriously that Yuri Nakano is no worse than a real actor. If he is willing to learn more, polish his skills a little, and embark on the path of an actor, his future achievements will be limitless.

In this regard, Nakano Yuri is very shy and modest, while Cao Zhiqiang thinks this is normal.

Because others don’t know it, but Cao Zhiqiang knows something about Nakano Yuri.

If you guessed it correctly, although Nakano Yuri is only a high school student at this time, he already has a certain acting foundation.

In addition, she had already decided to join the Takarazuka Opera Troupe as early as junior high school. She had long wanted to be an actress, so she started studying acting very early.

In addition to her early goal of becoming an actress, she has a strong learning ability and is indeed very talented in acting.

It’s hard to tell in this world, but in Cao Zhiqiang’s previous life, Yuri Nakano, later Yuki Amami, was admitted to the Takarazuka Music School less than two years later, in 1985, with the No. 1 result. , and when he graduated in 1987, he officially joined the Takarazuka Opera Troupe.

Takarazuka Music School is a private vocational school, similar to domestic junior colleges.

It's just that Takarazuka Music School is relatively well-known and has strong resources, so it is different from ordinary domestic colleges and universities. It is among the top tier of vocational schools.

No matter what, Yuri Nakano is an actor who combines real talent with hard work. Later, he also suffered from cramps in his hands when winning awards. He is the queen of Japanese film and television dramas after 2000 and has a strong dominance.

Of course, it’s no shame to say that Yuri Nakano, or Yuki Amami, is said to be the queen of Japanese dramas after 2000. In addition to her strong aura and acting skills, she often plays male roles, and she is very recognizable. This is also the early retirement of those peak queens of Japanese dramas in the 90s.

The peak period of Japanese dramas was strictly speaking the 90s.

During this period, there were numerous classic Japanese dramas, such as Tokyo Love Story, Century of Love, Beautiful Life, and so on.

There were also many Japanese drama queens during this period, such as Matsu Takako, Matsushima Nanako, Turntable Cabinet, Suzuki Honami, etc.

It's a pity that after entering the new millennium, although Japanese dramas have some dazzling works, they are no longer good as a whole, but they still have the meaning of sunset red.

As for those Japanese drama queens who are still fresh in people's minds in the 90s, most of them retired or semi-retired during their peak years and rarely appeared on the screen again.

The general environment was originally not good, and a large number of top actors were missing, so Japanese dramas began to officially fail.

Just like that, after 2010, Japanese dramas completely began to stretch their hips. At that time, Japanese dramas could not beat Korean dramas and mainland dramas, and even Thai dramas could not compare.

Even though there were occasionally a few well-known TV series during this period, such as "Naoki Hansawa" and "LEGAL HIGH", overall, there was no way back.

And Yuki Amami was one of the pillars of Japanese dramas during the recession. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the star of Japanese dramas after 2000.

In other words, Yuki Amami may not be the most popular, nor the best, but like Sayuri Yoshinaga, she is definitely a strong career woman and a proper screen worker.

In fact, if those popular actresses who were at the peak of Japanese dramas in the 90s, such as Matsu Takako, Matsushima Nanako, Suzuki Honami, etc., had not retired or semi-retired so early and continued to focus on their acting careers, maybe even Japanese dramas would be inevitable later. When it goes into decline, it won’t plummet like a cliff.

In the final analysis, the decline of Japanese dramas and Japanese movies is just like the decline of Hong Kong movies after 2010. It is not that there are no good scripts, but that there are no good actors, or in other words, there is no more work.

It's just that the decline of Xiangjiang Film and Television is more obvious, while the decline of Japanese dramas is not so obvious.

No matter what, everyone unanimously commented that Nakano Yuri's acting skills were outstanding and that she had star potential. Cao Zhiqiang simply asked Nakano Yuri on the spot if she would like to join Aiyin Agency and embark on the path of a professional actor.

In this regard, Nakano Yuri said cautiously that he could consider it, but did not agree immediately.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang didn't force her. He just asked for the other party's number and contact information on the spot, and then let her go back.

After having this example, Cao Zhiqiang continued to work hard and continued to randomly select the audience to perform on stage.

But for subsequent performances, Cao Zhiqiang no longer accompanied the performers, but acted as judges with Zhu Lin and others to comment on the acting skills of the audience members who performed on stage.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang later selected an audience of one man and one woman, and then asked them to perform on the stage.

How can I put it, although the performances of some of those who came later were okay, none of them were as amazing as Yuri Nakano's performance.

Many people said that it was because Cao Zhiqiang did not have a supporting actor, so the feeling was much worse, but Cao Zhiqiang knew that this was not entirely the case.

The reason why his previous performance with Yuri Nakano was so explosive was not mainly due to Cao Zhiqiang's acting skills.

In other words, the previous performance between him and Yuri Nakano was really not led by him, but by Yuri Nakano.

It's Yuri Nakano's acting skills that are particularly good and his understanding of the role that makes him so strong.

If Nakano Yuri's acting skills are like those of those who later came to the audience, and his acting skills stretch his hips, then Tsao Chi-keung's performance won't be much better.

To put it bluntly, Cao Zhiqiang is not a real actor. He cannot get into the role as quickly as a professional actor.

Cao Zhiqiang's so-called acting skills are based on his special familiarity with those plots, and having watched the movie "The Garden of Words" in his previous life, and then imitated and reproduced the characters in the plot.

If this were not the case and Cao Zhiqiang was asked to play an unfamiliar role, he would quickly expose his shortcomings in unprofessional acting.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang's current acting skills are also thanks to Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong.

If it weren't for Zhu Lin and other veteran actors who accompanied him little by little during the filming process, allowing him to find many tips for getting into the role, he wouldn't have been able to improve his acting skills so quickly.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang's acting skills were honed in actual combat, but Nakano Yuri is different.

Even if she really wanted to be an actress in junior high school, as reported in her previous life, she was still a high school student now, and the only place where she could learn about acting was in the school's drama department.

The so-called school drama department is a student club, and the acting skills available there are very limited.Even under such circumstances, she can still perform such an explosive performance, which is indeed a very talented person.

Therefore, when Cao Zhiqiang ended the drama with the other party, he had already made plans to poach her.

In Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, it would be a pity to let her go to Takarazuka Theater Company to perform in some musical. It would be more suitable for her to become an actress earlier.

It's not that musical actors are bad, but the audience of musicals is too small, and the internal competition is fierce. There is no comparison between musical actors and real screen stars in terms of fame and money.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't know the status and fame of Amami Yuki in the Takarazuka Opera Company in his previous life. Anyway, he knew Amami Yuki through the screen.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang does not want Yuri Nakano to take a detour, and hopes that she will directly become a film and television actress instead of acting in a musical.

Soon, the project for the audience to perform on stage was over. Next, Zhu Lin, Xu Qingdong and Cao Zhiqiang were asked to tell interesting stories about the filming process and answer some questions raised by the audience.

The so-called answer to questions is selective. Some sensitive questions will be answered with "Sorry, it's inconvenient to answer" or "Sorry, this is personal privacy."

After going through the two links of filming anecdotes and audience questions, the next step is the highlight of the screening ceremony, which is signing autographs and giving gifts to thank the audience.

In other words, after the staff moved two chairs and two tables to the center of the stage, Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin began to sit at a table side by side, and engaged in an activity of sending autographs and photos on the spot right in the center of the stage.

If the audience is interested, they can queue up and receive a free exquisite photo album signed by "Cao Zhiqiang" and "Zhu Lin" in Chinese with the movie ticket in their hand.

As for that beautiful photo, it contains artistic photos taken by Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin during the filming of the movie "Love in the Rain".

Yes, as early as when Cao Zhiqiang invested in the filming of "Love in the Rain", or "Love in the Ancient Pavilion", he had already considered the situation of producing photos, so he had already found several photographers and used the best cameras in the country at that time. , the best film, to capture every detail of Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin during the filming process.

Especially those NG scenes and laughter scenes must be captured.

Not only are there camera captures, there are even video captures.

In other words, after the official filming comes to an end, someone else will use a camera to record the daily life of Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin during their breaks on the set.

Of course, these daily routines are composed of a series of incoherent short films, similar to documentaries.

This situation was common in later generations, but it was rare in this period.

The reason is that most of the later photography was done digitally, so I don’t feel bad about it.

But photography during this period all used film photography, and film was very expensive, especially imported color photos. Therefore, at least in China, few people would use color film to shoot a crew member taking a break between filming. fragment.

Only someone like Cao Zhiqiang, who has deep pockets, is sure that the movie will be a hit, and has long thought about selling out of the country, would use such a luxurious recording method.

For this reason, after the filming of the movie was completed, Cao Zhiqiang also specially produced relevant photos and documentaries, in order to make photo albums and video tapes in the future, and then launch them on the market in the form of peripherals.

The reason why I am sending photos now is because these kinds of photos are subject to censorship when they enter Japan.

Not only do you need to review it, but you also need to find a publisher for cooperation.

When all these tasks are completed, at least a month will pass.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang simply decided to wait until the movie was over before releasing photos and documentary videos.

Who knows, during this period, I heard that after the movie was released, a screening ceremony would be held, and Zhu Lin would be invited to attend and meet the fans. So Cao Zhiqiang changed his plan again and prepared to give away free gifts at the screening ceremony. Giving the audience a signed version of the photo is a form of advertising.

In addition, at this screening ceremony, people will be told in public that starting from tomorrow, Zhu Lin and Cao Zhiqiang will be at the Memorial Hall in Shinjuku, Tokyo, starting at [-] a.m. on Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow. Ikuniya Bookstore is holding a three-day autograph sales event.

During this period, if you go to Kinokuniya Bookstore in Shinjuku to purchase the "Love in the Rain" collector's edition commemorative set, you can get on-site signatures from Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin.

The so-called "Love in the Rain" collector's edition set includes the video tape of the movie "Love in the Rain", the documentary version of the video tape of the filming process, the original CD record, the original vinyl record, the original audio tape, and the photo album of the two.

These items are not sold separately. If you want to buy them, buy the whole set.

Not only will everyone be informed at the scene, but later on, from tonight to tomorrow, Aiyin Office will continue to advertise on the radio to inform the general public that Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin will start at [-] a.m. on Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Kinokuniya Bookstore held a three-day autograph sales event.

By doing this, taking advantage of the aftermath of "Love in the Rain", we can definitely become popular again in peripheral products.

In particular, Cao Zhiqiang will be publicly introduced to the outside world on the radio. Cao Zhiqiang is the spring in the forest, and the two of them are the same person.

In this way, we can also borrow the fame of the vest called Qingquan in the Forest.

As for the other vest, Kudo Yusaku, let’s continue to hide him.

Obviously, everyone in the audience, whether they are die-hard fans of "Love in the Rain" or not, heard that they can now get a signed photo album for free, and during the autograph sales event the day after tomorrow, everyone can also get it here today. The signed photo album arrived, and when I went to the bookstore to pick up a collector's edition commemorative set for free, no one left, they all queued up to be signed.

Including Yuri Nakano, who was secretly attracted by Cao Zhiqiang, also came over and queued up to receive souvenirs.

In fact, everyone knows very well that today's signed photo album is definitely of great commemorative significance, especially when everyone knows that the leading actor Cao Zhiqiang is the famous Japanese superstar Morinaka Aizumi.

A photo album is not very valuable, but if it has Cao Zhiqiang's signature, it will be different.

Let’s not talk about the future, let’s talk about now. If you just take it and sell it in the market, you will definitely get a good price.

Although the Chinese name of Cao Zhiqiang is not well-known in Japan, Cao Zhiqiang's vest, or his stage name "Qingquan in the Forest", is very famous in Japan.

Being able to get a signed photo of "Green Spring in the Forest" is very memorable and definitely worth a lot of money.

The key is that you don't have to spend any money. For the price of watching a movie, you can get this kind of signed photo, which is a huge profit.

It can be seen from this that it is human nature to be greedy for advantages, and it is the same for people everywhere.

Sure enough, when the autographs and photos were handed out, many people, especially young girls, screamed with excitement immediately after getting Cao Zhiqiang's autograph, as if they had earned something.

Regarding this, Cao Zhiqiang could only say in his heart that it is great to be young, but this is too deceptive.

You may think that you are making money now, but I will never lose money.

Don't look at the free photos now, but at the bookstore autograph sale event later, I hold my sickle high and package them for a higher price, which is very expensive.

Sure enough, fans’ money is easy to make. (End of chapter)
