Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Let’s put aside the miscellaneous factors such as the professional players mistakenly entering the elementary school students’ bureau.

The micro-film “Station, Bench” can be said to be excellent in terms of shooting alone—really excellent.

Let’s not talk about the skillful camera movement and the special taste of each frame—after all, it was directed by two directors, Shimizusan and Shiraishi Jun, who graduated from the professional class of Japanese photography university, so of course they are quite skilled.

The key is that the story of “Station, Bench” is also quite good.

Do you want to say that it is particularly exciting and makes people feel particularly amazing at first glance?

To be honest.

In fact, there is no such feeling.

Unlike those plots that win at the beginning and make people feel exciting.

“Station, Bench” has only—reality.

Yes.

Reality.

There is no tragic love with life and death and twists and turns like in TV dramas and movies.

It only has the kind of atmosphere that looks very plain at first glance, but can make people inexplicably reminisce.

The same is true in real life.

How can true love have so many twists and turns, and seek death and life and death like in movies and TV series?

It is plain and ordinary when dating.

Although you will feel sad when you leave, you will not regret it.

It is real, but with a little bit of happiness of ordinary people.

Love should be like this.

And the micro-film "Station, Bench"

If you have to talk about the plot, there is actually nothing to delve into.

The only thing it has is that the reality that can be seen everywhere in life and the faint warm and happy atmosphere between ordinary people can be seen everywhere throughout the movie.

There is a feeling of "adapted from real events".

And this is quite rare for a movie.

Because things like "atmosphere" are actually quite difficult for directors to grasp.

In order to restore the faint sense of reality in the story as much as possible.

Kita Chengshi and his team also used background dubbing to tell the story.

I have to say.

This method is really very clever.

Because the structure of the micro-film is too short.

The filming team simply does not have so many shots and so much time to explain to the audience the information about the acquaintance and understanding between the male and female protagonists.

Use background dubbing to tell the story, and use camera images to unfold the story.

In this way, all the information can be explained to the maximum extent in a limited space.

Even if two Fuji TV directors are on stage together.

It is not necessarily possible to make this micro-film better.

The key is that this scene is really too exaggerated, right?

It's Takeo Mikawa, Shimizuyama, Shiraishi Jun and so on.

Are you sure you are not playing a prank on us?

The movie announcement of "Station, Bench" is over.

But the two Fuji TV directors on the stage did not dare to act rashly.

They were afraid that if they moved a little, they would be pranked by the "Little Director" program team, and their reputation in front of the public would be ruined.

After all, directors in the industry still value their reputation.

The two of them stared at Kazuya Akasaka.

On the other side, Kazuya Akasaka

Although he lost 1.3 million yen, he was a professional director after all.

At this time, he still did not hesitate and took charge of the situation.

"Sorry, three directors, the recording of this shot is not appropriate. Let's re-record it."

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions on the faces of the two Fuji TV directors were still not relaxed, and they were still staring at Akasaka Kazuya.

This made Akasaka Kazuya look strange.

He couldn't help but go up to ask about the details.

"Akasaka, I find that you are really unkind. The two of us came to help you shoot a variety show, but you want to team up with Director Shiraishi to trick us?"

"Yes, I looked at the program list in advance, and there was no mention of tricking us."

The two Fuji TV internal directors looked quite dissatisfied.

But their attitudes were already good.

Whose good guy's sub-program can have the names of Shiraishi Jun, Shimizusan and Mikawa Takeo?

And let them comment?

Isn't this digging a hole for them?

And the most terrifying thing is that this is just the beginning.

The first micro-film played was already this big.

What about the second and third micro-films?

They didn't dare to think about it.

It was not easy to speak in front of the camera just now.

But now the camera stopped.

Of course they had to give a reasonable explanation.

If there was no better explanation, they would not let Akasaka Kazuya off so easily.

Now Akasaka Kazuya was really in tears.

He had just lost 1.3 million yen and was still depressed, and he had to bear such a big black pot.

There was really no way.

He could only spend time explaining to the two directors again.

In addition, he promised to take them to Ginza to treat them to a meal in the evening, which barely calmed the knot in their hearts.

There was no way.

The Japanese still attach great importance to their reputation in the workplace.

Akasaka Kazuya must have ruined his reputation at Fuji TV because of this incident. It would be much more troublesome to find someone to help him in the future.

After handling the matter here.

Akasaka Kazuya did not stop and called Kita Sumire and others.

"Kitasaki-kun, something went wrong. The previous shot needs to be re-recorded. I want to adjust your group's microfilm to the third position before playing it."

"Director Akasaka, why do you have to re-record and adjust our order for playback?"

Before Kitasaki-kun spoke, Shibaizumi Hosokawa next to him raised his head with some curiosity.

She and Kazuya Akasaka have worked together several times, and they are relatively casual in their speech.

But as soon as these words came out.

Kazuya Akasaka's face turned a little ugly.

Why.?

You have to ask yourself this?

It's best to do everything step by step, and the same is true for variety shows.

It's like playing Landlord.

At the beginning, some scattered small cards are played out, and then the big cards are used to get the cards back.

As a result, what about Kitasaki-kun and the others? Isn't this equivalent to a direct bomb at the beginning.

Combinations such as Mikawa Takeo, Shimizuyama, and Shiraishi Jun are all directly brought in.

What do the two groups of sub-actors play at the back?

Do they still need to bring out their works?

Even if their works are really good, they are not comparable to yours, right?

Variety shows need to avoid scripts as much as possible and make the overall look more natural.

But the stuff Kitasumi and the others brought out was too scary.

It was equivalent to nuclear deterrence.

Kazuya Akasaka could only move them to the end and play them as the finale.

That's why he had to re-record it.

Fortunately, Kitasumi nodded very sensibly without his explanation.

"Okay, I understand, Director Akasaka, Rinka-chan, Shibaizumi-chan, you should have no problem, right?"

"If it's a nasty guy who says that, I don't object."

"Me too."

The power relationship of Kitasumi's group is quite obvious.

Kitasumi was relieved.

The other Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Ogiwara Rinka naturally had no intention of objecting.

This made Kazuya Akasaka nod his head.

Although Kitasumi, the sub-actor, inexplicably took out 1.3 million yen from his pocket.

But I have to say, it's different to work with him.

Some things don't need to be explained at all.

He can understand it by himself.

I discussed the shooting details with Kita Sumire and others.

The second recording of the program began.

This time the recording of the program was much easier.

Miyazato Bunta, who was in second place, was adjusted to the first place for broadcast.

His work is about a child healing an adult.

It can be seen that he must have put in some effort.

But overall it is just slightly good.

The handling methods in many places are a little childish.

There is a clear feeling of cramming at the last minute.

The movie announcement finally appeared.

There are no monsters like Mikawa Takeo and Shiraishi Jun on it.

This also made the two Fuji TV directors on the stage relieved-it seems that Akasaka Kazuya really doesn't want to play a prank on himself.

It's true that the work played in the first place just now was too powerful.

They scored very straightforwardly.

In the end, the total score of Miyazato Bunta's work was 18 points, which can be regarded as passing.

It's just that when the next group of sub-service works started.

That scene was a bit unbearable to watch.

After all, they were just kids.

They didn’t have the connections that Miyazato Bunta and the others had.

The micro-film they finally produced was simply unbearable to watch.

The storyboards and the shooting were a mess.

They were in the living room one second.

They were in the bathroom the next.

The fragmented shots couldn’t support a complete story at all.

The key point was that they performed very seriously in front of the camera.

It felt like they were telling seriously that ‘pasta should be mixed with No. 24 concrete’.

The shots were messy, but the performances were quite hard.

In addition, each child actor was quite cute.

This made the viewers feel like they couldn’t help laughing.

The three directors didn’t hesitate to give their comments.

Shiraishi Jun gave a zero with a blank expression, and the other two directors were a little speechless, and finally gave 4 and 3 points of friendship points respectively.

The total score was only 7 points.

Then there was Kitasumi Mi’s work.

After all, I’ve seen it, and I’ll watch it again.

The two Fuji TV directors discovered many details.

Whether it is Kitasumi Mi who plays the young Yu-kun, or Hosokawa Shibaizumi who plays the young Arima Tamako.

They can be said to be remarkable in acting.

Especially in the last scene, when Hosokawa Shibaizumi pointed to the other side of the coastline and smiled at the camera (from the perspective of the protagonist).

The sea breeze blew.

The black short hair fluttered up and down.

At that moment, the two Fuji TV directors really felt amazed.

When I watched it before, I was attracted by Mikawa Takeo and his men.

As a result, when I watched it again, I found that.

This group of actors is not simple.

Because the lineup involved in the filming of "Station, Bench" is quite terrifying.

The two Fuji TV directors did not act rashly as before, but turned to look at Shiraishi Jun on the other side.

Like Shimizu-san, Shiraishi Jun is also the supervising director of "Station, Bench".

Just look at how many points he gives, and they will give the same points. This will not provoke the audience, and Shiraishi Jun will be used as a shield.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

However, what they did not expect was that

Although Jun Shiraishi looks expressionless, his actions are completely unambiguous.

I gave it a perfect 10 points directly on the scorer.

This left the two Fuji TV directors speechless.

Just give it 10 points?

Isn’t this too confident in one’s own work?

But after all, it is a work starring Takeo Mikawa.

The two of them hesitated.

Also scored 10 points.

The Beicheng team directly scored a perfect score of 30 points.

The next step is to follow the process.

The program team of "Little Director" began to talk one by one, half-interviewing the members of each group, and half-jokingly asking about the process of filming the micro-film.

This section will be edited in post-production to include some footage of Kitami Minori and others shooting on location.

It is considered to expand the content of the program.

After all, this episode of "Little Director" lasts about two hours.

It is impossible to support the content of a program solely by relying on the content of micro-movies.

Just keep recording.

From time to time, I invite three directors to express their opinions on the shooting of the few short films just now.

For the works of Miyazato Bunta who was the first player and the sub-player group who was the second player.

The two Fuji TV directors obviously talk a lot.

Words like 'It's not bad, I can see that I've worked hard, but there are some areas that could be improved a little.' The words are readily available.

But it was Kitami Minori's turn to be in the group.

The two directors simply shut up, and just smiled and said a few symbolic words, "It was very good" and "It's not like a miracle film made by a child", which were quite official words.

Only Shiraishi Jun said simply in a calm tone.

"The filming was very good. After the recording of the program is over, I will ask Beicheng-kun if he wants to enter this work into a short film competition. Winning the prize is not a problem at all."

"In fact, I think many of the current micro-films are a bit too bad, and they can't even compare to those filmed by children."

He rarely said a long series of words.

And it doesn’t give any face to some micro-film creators at all.

Should I say it or not, it is indeed Shiraishi Jun.

The industry's most well-deserved robot director.

In this way, the entire recording of "Little Director" was finally completed without any danger.

Then there's——

"Director Akasaka, when will the 2 million yen for our team arrive?"

Walked to Akasaka Kazuya who was checking the recording effect of the program.

Kitaki asked.

no way.

After all, he has not received any advertising promotion until now.

Among all the top-notch warriors, although he is currently considered to be relatively popular, he is definitely the poorest.

Of course, remuneration and money are more important.

only--

"Ah um. Don't worry, Beicheng-kun, wait a minute. After the show is over, it will be transferred directly to the account."

"OK, all right."

Kitazumi looked strangely at Akasaka Kazuya who was smiling and answering.

do not know why.

He always felt that Akasaka Kazuya's smile was quite forced.

There is a feeling of gritted teeth in the smile, but there is nothing you can do about someone.

Could it be that something happened?

But forget it.

Kitazumi didn't care about Akasaka Kazuya's thoughts.

After all, that is a bonus of 2 million yen.

Because it is not the appearance fee of the servant.

Therefore, AR Ziyu Training Institute cannot take a commission from it - this is written in the A-grade Ziyu contract, which is income other than film remuneration and appearance fees, and AR Ziyu Training Institute will not take a commission from it.

In other words, only after paying taxes.

This money belongs to their group.

Just before that.

He had one more thing to do.

He turned his head and looked at Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Ogiwara Rinka on the other side.

"Chaizumi-chan, Rinka-chan, do you really not want this bonus?"

Yes.

Although the recording of the show is finished.

Then we have to talk about dividing the spoils.
