Poverty story after Tokyo actress

Jiang Bai was quite touched by this past event of Maaya. In Jiang Bai’s view, this family relationship of Maaya is something worth pondering. Movie.

Of course, this type of movie about family relationships and humanistic psychology is not destined to be a hit.But Jiang Bai just likes this style, and this type of film is very "safe". In the current environment where ideology determines creative ideas, this kind of film that tells about the humanistic psychology of the public can make some real things , without touching the sensitive area of ​​ideology.

After all, this kind of subject matter that focuses on small angles of individuals is generally safe as long as the creators do not intentionally carry private goods.

Of course, it is still very early for Jiang Bai to make movies. This kind of idea can be kept for now, and when there is a chance in the future, he will go to make movies independently.

At the beginning, Jiang Bai really thought like this, but the plan often can't keep up with the changes.

New year and new weather, after spending a happy New Year holiday with Liuli and Caihua at Miyano's house, Jiang Bai, who was in a blank period, received a request from his boss.

Ah, this boss is Mao.

After finishing the work with the several crews provided by Makoto, Jiang Bai truly became an actor under Mao Hoshino, or an employee.

Originally, Shino Hoshino's streaming media platform didn't have many talents. After finally waiting for a capable subordinate, Shino naturally wanted to gather a wave of wool first.

"Jiang Bai, how is the New Year?"

"Well, it's pretty good. I played rice cakes with Makoto, went to see the crew from the abyss with Aunt Maaya, and then spent New Year's Eve with my mother and sister at home. Afterwards, I went to the temple to pray and watch the New Year's Festival with them. , watching fireworks, fishing for goldfish... well, I had a lot of fun.”

Seeing Jiang Bai's weather is good, Maaya smiled slightly and nodded: "Not bad, it seems that Jiang Bai is still full of energy, well, you have also signed a contract with the company for two months, but you have never really worked in the company. The New Year's holiday is over, and it's time to arrange some schedules for you."

Speaking of which, Zhenqin took out some documents from her hand, then put them on the table with a snap, and sent them to Jiang Bai.

And Jiang Bai looked at these files, no accidents should be some accumulated film and television resources, she asked curiously: "Are they all some crew characters?"

"Yes, and no." Shino waved his hand and explained: "I saw the video footage you took from the Parasite Crew. Obviously, it's a bit of a waste to just let you be an actor..."

"..."

Oh, it doesn't mean that you want me... to be a director, right?For a while, Jiang Bai felt a pain in the head. Although she said that she really likes being a director, she likes to like it. This thing is really troublesome. There are really many things to manage. If you don’t pay attention, it will be messy.

"That... Miss Mao, you don't want me to make a film, do you?"

"Well, what else?"

"Suck..." Jiang Bai suddenly took a breath of cold air, this is really cold winter air, "Well, I just finished working as a director for a crew some time ago... I think I still need to take a break..."

Zhen Xu looked at Jiang Bai's embarrassed and tired eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. Hey, this is the first time I saw this girl showing such an expression. Zhen Xu thought that there would be nothing that could make her feel Distressed.

"Hahaha, your expression is very interesting. I thought you wouldn't have any other expressions other than the calm expression that you can control. Of course, don't worry, I didn't ask you to be the director, and I really let you You don't feel at ease when you think I am, after all, your qualifications are too shallow."

"My idea is to let you be a photographer. I have seen the shots of parasitic beasts, and I heard that you figured them out. It just so happens that I have a lack of capable photographers. So, if possible, I hope In addition to being an actor, you can guide the photography work by the way."

Ah, this filming.It's really not difficult to just take pictures. At least, being managed by others is easier than managing others.

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Bai agreed to Shino's request without much hesitation.

And Maou looked happy, opened a few documents spread out, and introduced: "Well, these are the plans I am going to implement now, do you have a look at which films you are interested in?"

Jiang Bai took the scripts one by one and observed them. Some are dramas, some are manga dramas, and there is a movie project.Although Hoshino Streaming Media, which Mao manages, is a new website, its ambitions are not small at all.

From the content of these plans, it can be seen that they intend to make a Japanese version of Netflix on the online platform.Relying on its own output of excellent film and television dramas to attract website audiences, rather than simply being an offline film and television porter.

However, it is clear that if you want to produce excellent film and television dramas, you must first have an excellent production team. For Mao, who is backed by the Hoshino Foundation, she can take the works produced by her company as the platform's exclusive resources. .

However, Mao does not intend to do this, it seems to be a kind of stubbornness or something else, Mao does not admit that the works of her own industry are the exclusive resources of her platform, she wants to create real, from her hands Works created on the platform.

Each of the projects in Jiang Bai's hands now has a lot of potential. First of all, it is a drama, and there is a "Dahe Drama" among them.

The name of the so-called Dahe drama comes from a genre called "Dahe novels". They have obvious styles and characteristics. The main plot basically revolves around telling the changes experienced by a certain protagonist or family in the historical tide under the historical environment. , to show the rolling historical torrent like a big river.

It sounds like it has a sense of sight. The classic historical drama "Downton Abbey" with English is a classic Taiga drama in the Japanese definition.

However, in general, except for NHK (Japan Broadcasting Association), few other people can shoot Dahe dramas in Japan. On the one hand, the high cost is not easy to produce, and on the other hand, Dahe dramas have become the symbol of NHK TV station. Generally speaking, it is not a big river drama of NHK, and it is not a big river drama.

That's why Jiang Bai put quotation marks on Shino's Dahe drama plan.

But this also basically shows Mao's ambition. She dared to challenge NHK TV's long-term hegemony over Japanese historical dramas. This is a very bold attempt in itself.

In addition to the Dahe drama, there are several modern urban romantic comedies. Well, Jiang Bai is not very interested in this, so he stopped watching after a few glances. There are also a few comic drama projects. From the perspective of IP, they are indeed Down the blood.

There are three IP adaptations of comic dramas sent to Jiang Bai. The first is the daily funny comic "Extreme Master Husband" that Jiang Bai had seen in his previous life. Jiang Bai even remembered that this comic was made in a live-action sitcom in his previous life Promote pv.

It can be said that in comic works, this is a work that is very suitable for live-action adaptation. As a comic drama, he is destined to be not far behind, and can be considered.

The second part made Jiang Bai slightly stunned.

"Yokohama Shopping Trip".

This name, if you are not a senior comic fan, you may hardly know this work, because it has no TV animation, only two OVAs, and it is relatively old, it is a niche science fiction comic in 98.

However, the story is very interesting, with a kind of absurd warmth.The story tells that in the distant future, the sea is about to submerge the land, and the whole world has entered the end of the world. However, the protagonist is a coffee shop robot who has no concept of this, and spends one life after another enjoying himself every day.

Jiang Bai didn't expect that someone in this world could dig out this old object 20 years ago and make it into a live-action version. Oh no, the parasitic beast he photographed before seems to be an old object that was also dug out.

Aha~ It seems that I have a good relationship with old objects, it is a good work, I can consider it.

Jiang Bai went on to watch the next one. After watching this, Jiang Bai couldn't sit still.

"monster!?"

"Well, you seem surprised?"

"..." It's fake not to be surprised, right?This is a monster, the pinnacle of psychological horror comics, Urasawa Naoki, one of the masterpieces of the cartoonist who is closest to God, and one of Jiang Bai's favorite comics in his previous life.

She once finished 74 episodes of a full-length novel that was still hearty overnight. Except for monsters, the only anime that can make her sleep so hard is "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Soul of Chess".

She doesn't know what to say for a while now, because these works are more important than the other. As far as his own impulse is concerned, Jiang Bai wants to take over the photography work of "Monster" without hesitation, but he still looks at it. There is still a movie project in the future, Jiang Bai decided to take another look.

Opening the final film project, Jiang Bai went to see its name at first glance.

Ha~ Sure enough, there are still some shocking names after all. The movie did not surprise Jiang Bai any more. She was really afraid that there would be something like "Legend of the Sword Wind" or "The Wanderer" written on it.

Otherwise, I will definitely be entangled to death.

The film project is a name that Jiang Bai has never heard of. It seems that it should be an original film, the name is "May Fang".After scanning the introduction, it is a warm film about pastoral stories.

Warmth films, as long as they are played steadily, the quality is basically above the passing line. Dongying's warm feelings are very strong, accounting for a lot of excellent movies.

It is a good idea for Mao to choose to make a warm film as a project.

However, Jiang Bai's attention is now all on the "Monster" project.

Tsk... No way, it's too attractive.

The story of the monster is rather complicated. It takes the post-World War II Cold War era as the background, and tells the story of the distortion and alienation of human psychology caused by war, resulting in the birth of humanoid monsters.

The protagonist of the story, Doctor Tianma, rescued a little boy named John impulsively when he was young, but because of this impulsiveness, he missed the chance to save the mayor. The dean was very angry about this, and he almost lost his position because of this .

Tianma didn't regret this, in his opinion, he did what he should do until...

The boy John he saved killed the director of the hospital, and Tianma discovered that what he saved was not just a little boy, but a monster.

The accidental death of the dean made Tianma promoted to become the new dean. It seemed that everything was going in the right direction, but the nightmare that John brought to Tianma has not dissipated, and more than ten years later, the monster named John really came back. Back again.

For the monster he had saved with his own hands, Tianma decided not to run away, this time he had to kill the monster with his own hands, and a hunt across Europe began.

The biggest feature of "Monster" is its realism, and there is no supernatural phenomenon in it. Even John, who is called a monster, just uses his IQ that is close to a monster and controls human nature, which makes its shooting not difficult.

On the other hand, his kind of humanistic care is very attractive to Jiang Bai. Although monsters have a main line, they use the form of units to show the stories of various characters in the middle, depicting these characters in one stroke. Struggling civilians during the Cold War, depicting the little people who suffered from the war.

These characteristics are the reasons why Jiang Bai is attracted to it. This is a rare and good work, and she really wants to follow it.

However, at the last moment of touching the plan, Jiang Bai withdrew his hand.

Now, not yet.

Chapter 290 Five Jiang Bai's Choice

Not the time, not only the time, but also the conditions.

If it is just a simple filming, there is really nothing to discuss, it is just a comic drama.However, if the shooting is good and high-quality, not only Jiang Bai is not prepared, but even Mao is not prepared.

In the previous life, apart from the animated TV version of "Monster", there was actually a live-action plan for this classic manga, which is normal, because "Monster" is indeed very suitable for a live-action adaptation, there is no supernatural phenomenon, and there is nothing mysterious or inexplicable Setting, the plot of "Monster" is solid and realistic, and it is a rare low-threshold adaptation.

However, the live-action adaptation of "Monster" failed. Jiang Bai is not very clear about the reason, but she can guess some.

First of all, although the monster is a Dongying manga, the background of the story he tells is real Europe, or Europe during the Cold War. In comics, an artist with no creative restrictions can easily construct various worldviews. However, in live-action shooting, any worldview Construction is not something that can be done with just two strokes.

The low-threshold adaptation of "Monster" is relative. Although compared with those whimsical fantasy animations, it is very realistic and suitable for real-life adaptations, but it still has a high cost. Just the background of the Cold War in Europe is enough. It's a very annoying setup.

Moreover, the stage of "Monster" is very broad, basically spanning more than half of Europe, and almost one episode changes to another city, which makes the shooting cost very high, and it cannot be completed just by setting up a studio.

He had to make a masterpiece, and he could only make a masterpiece.

And Jiang Bai didn't have this confidence in the team under Mao, so he asked the simplest question, in the live-action version of "Monster", should the actors speak Japanese or English?

You are a Dongying man who made a Dongying manga drama, the actors all speak English, right?But where do you find so many foreign actors who can speak Japanese?

Therefore, even though the work "Monster" is very attractive to Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai finally put away his restless hands, and then put it on the "Yokohama Shopping Journey" next to it.

At least, the filming difficulty of this work at this stage is much easier than that of "Monster".

"Huh? I think you still wanted to get this one just now."

Mao pointed curiously at the project that said "Monster", and asked curiously.

And Jiang Bai also honestly expressed all the concerns in his heart, Zhen Xu listened quietly, his eyes flickered slightly from time to time.

"Uh, I understand what you mean. You think that the monster plan is not only difficult for you, but also for me, right?"

"Yes, I admit that I am very excited about "Monster", but I don't think this project can be launched casually. It needs a huge international actor resource, a professional film and television team at the film level, and An investor who is willing to invest for a long time regardless of the cost. Here, Ms. Mao, you can figure out what you are qualified for."

"So, even though he is well-known, I still absolutely say that in terms of realism, it is inferior to "Extreme Master's Way" and "Yokohama Shopping Journey". And the one I recommend most is "Yokohama Shopping Journey."

"Oh? Then, can you tell me the reason?"

"Yes, on the one hand, the story is good. Compared with the fast-paced funny comics like "Extreme Master Husband", in terms of the quality of the content, "Yokohama Shopping" can get a better reputation. After all, Miss Mao, you just need to smash it now. Money for word of mouth, isn't it?"

"Hmm~ Not bad, is there any more?" Mao nodded,

"Well, the second point is that the length is short, which is a length suitable for online dramas. We can release them all in one go, so that the audience can watch them all at once. Although "The Master of the Wisdom" can also choose to play it in seasons to control the length."

"However, his length caused us to spend a lot of resources to start the second season and the third season once he started filming. For a website that is just starting up, it is so fast to link itself with a series composition. Wisely, it risks becoming a drag, stifling the production of other works.

"You should also know that the composition of the series becomes weaker in the later stages, and the fast-paced humor of "Extreme Master Husband" is for entertainment. It's okay to watch and laugh occasionally, but for this reason, watching the entire series, the audience will Aesthetically tired, its nature is destined to become more and more weak.

"And once it starts to go downhill, no matter when you cut off the production or continue to maintain the production, it will do more harm than good."

Shino raised his brows. This idea is quite interesting. Could it be linked to the composition of the series and thus become a drag on new works?

"Well, it is indeed an idea, is there any more? I think your idea is quite interesting."

Jiang Bai nodded and said his last reason: "The third reason..."

As she spoke, she put her hand on the cover of "Yokohama Shopping Travel" and said, "Because,

"Conclude the coffin?"

Shino was taken aback for a moment, this statement...is really novel, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be able to taste it.

"You mean, since it's been finished for years, it's not as uncontrollable as an unfinished work?"

"That's right, before a manga is finished, any kind of things may happen. It happens from time to time that fans hate the house and the house because of the unfinished end. In comparison, Yokohama Shopping Journey is old, but it has The final conclusion is that it is definitely an excellent work, and this kind of safety is a better quality than serial works."

At the beginning, Jiang Bai would not consider this situation, but it is a pity that in her previous life, she has seen too many such high-level feces, especially a few years before his death, Dongying cartoonists really collectively Epilepsy.

Each of the serialized works may become the next thunderstorm, and a smooth landing has become a luxury. Don't underestimate the anger of fans who hate the house and the house. Therefore, compared with the serialized works, Jiang Bai is more interested in this kind of work that has ended for many years. The work should be more at ease.

And Zhen Xu also listened carefully to Jiang Bai's suggestion and nodded. Her idea is indeed something that most comic drama producers have never considered. After all, who can say what this work will look like in the future?

Besides, if it's rotten, it's rotten. What does the manga's rotten relationship have to do with my manga?

Although Jiang Bai's ideas are a bit sensational, Zhen Xu has noticed a characteristic of Jiang Bai. She is quite concerned about the feelings of the audience. Many of her opinions are also judged from the perspective of the audience.

This may be the reason why she can always shoot something that the audience likes.

The conversation ended soon. Jiang Bai got his wish and arranged to enter the crew of "Yokohama Shopping Journey". "Monster" was also temporarily hidden by Mao under Jiang Bai's suggestion. It needs to be dusted for a while, but always There is a day of reappearance.

However, the filming of "Extreme Master Husband" is still on the agenda. After all, Mao also has his own considerations. This is a light comedy, which is the common denominator of the public.Perhaps the artistic value is not high, but the commercial value is not low.

Moreover, the cost is not high anyway, she has the money to choose to have both.

Of course, this is not what Jiang Bai needs to consider.

Now, she has a new job and has taken half a month of annual leave, and she is going to return to the position she loves.

"Aha……"

"Get up, get up. The meal is ready, let's take it back to the crew."

"Ha...tsk, I want to take another half month off~"

"Oh, I'm just after you take another half month's rest, maybe you want to take another half month's rest."
