I interpret life in Tokyo

"Senior Sakakibara, you should be lying on the table and answering weakly here, but why are you coughing and complaining at the same time?"

Sakakihara Kaede couldn't say anything to refute for a while. The section of the road leading to the private Toyosaki Academy is like a hill-like uphill and downhill. When he was reciting this line, the bus was jumping on the steep slope. Did not catch up, resulting in repeated coughing.

Looking at Mai Sakurajima who was smiling and holding hands with Madoka Higuchi, a feeling of being calculated came to Sakakibara Kaede's heart.

Sakurajima Mai stepped on the wind two days ago, and she is fully aware of the nearby terrain. . .Now, could it be that Mai Sakurajima even counted this?

Sakakibara Kaede looked up to the sky, recalling the dean who was separated by a wall that day, the bottle of yogurt at that time, and the advance order now, how similar!

This is. . .Non-war crimes.

Mr. Kimura, I'm sorry, Kaede Sakakibara. . .I lost again.

"Well, what would you like to have for dinner today?" Mai Sakurajima nodded her chin and leaned next to Kaede Sakakibara, showing off in a low voice, "My appetite will improve a lot if someone treats me~"

"As an actor, maintaining your figure is the most important thing."

Kaede Sakakibara straightened his waist again, and he delivered the final fatal blow, reproducing Mai Sakurajima's original words.

"I have lost weight recently, and my agent advised me to pay attention to nutrition."

Sakurajima Mai easily resolved, she twisted her slender waist and sighed softly.

This round, there is no distinction between equals.

While the two were arguing about where to eat dinner today, the filming crew was gradually entering the private Toyosaki Academy step by step.

I learned from Mai Sakurajima that the private Toyosaki Academy wants to recruit more students with the help of STARS, so as to make their reputation famous again, such as suppressing the private Shuchiin Academy or something.The board of directors really made a good plan, the filming time lasted for three months, and the situation of shooting one episode and broadcasting another episode was broadcast. It is estimated that many students who watched the TV series will choose the private Toyosaki Academy in March next year.

STARS also wants to use the already well-known private Toyosaki Academy to spread word of mouth.Obviously, this wave is a win-win situation.

Sakakibara Kaede followed the crew into the private Toyosaki Academy, and saw many students leaning out of the teaching building, stretching their heads, wishing to observe them up close.

The crew will attract attention wherever they go, and so will the actors.

"Let's talk about the shooting plan for this week."

Qingshan Yang was waiting for them in a spare classroom. After everyone was seated, he held up the microphone and spoke, "The introduction of the first episode has been filmed, and two key points need to be resolved today."

"Interaction during recess, club activities after school."

"You are all students, although there are lines, but the general performance is suitable for the camera." Director Aoyama raised a finger, "In this scene, except for the male lead and the female lead, everyone else is the background board. I once said in class that the most important thing about being a group performer is to behave ordinary, just like you normally do.”

"Whether it's taking my classmates to wash up, or talking about the TV series I watched yesterday, or discussing which karaoke to play after school, it's fine. Remember, I just want to be natural."

The fact that the actors forgot to memorize the lines for two days made everyone look at each other in dismay. They had rehearsed many times in private, but now they were allowed to play freely.

Group performances in the classroom are much more difficult than group performances on the street. The space in the classroom is small, and it is not easy to freely stretch one's movements, and there is a risk of affecting others.

What's more, the camera will more or less skip the actor's face, and you can tell at a glance whether the acting is embarrassing or not. Aoyama Yang has always pursued perfection in the works he shoots, and it is very likely that there will be scenes of shouting NG.

"In the second act of the club activities after school, we are going to shoot the club activities of the private Toyosaki Academy together. They will be the group performers for this scene. The manuscript is classified as members of the sports club. Before shooting and The students of the private Toyosaki Academy hand over."

"Our first act had to be shot by noon, and backlighting in the afternoon wasn't ideal."

Sakakihara Feng was thoughtful, he remembered that his manuscript was filled with four big characters.

Sleep after class.

Mai Sakurajima gave Kaede Sakakibara a sideways look, "That's great, someone was sleeping on the first day of filming."

"I think it's sweet first and then bitter. If there's nothing wrong with today's filming, tomorrow I'll have to stage a scene where I'm being bullied by Uehara. Senior Sakurajima, remember to come to the toilet to save me."

Kaede Sakakibara remembered the content of the manuscript, and if nothing unexpected happened, tomorrow he would be dragged from his seat to the bathroom by the class leader, Uehara, and pushed him against the corner, ordering him to buy fried rice, bread and Coca-Cola for lunch today.

Seeing Kaede Sakakibara resting his chin in contemplation, Mai Sakurajima turned his gaze back to the manuscript and muttered something.

"Nishida Orange will naturally come to rescue Hiroshi Kitahara, but I don't know whether Mai Sakurajima will come to save Kaede Sakakibara who played with the rules of the game."

Chapter No.16 Naturally Entering the Drama

The staff of the make-up group were waiting in the next classroom. Only the six protagonists needed make-up. The make-up artist applied light make-up on their faces to make them look faint and have a different temperament from others.

Sakakihara Kaede officially met with the second male and female number two at this time. They are graduates of this year, and their graduation results stand out among all the students, so STARS decided to give these two newcomers a chance.

The makeup artist lady who had done his makeup before was pacing back and forth in front of him, the thrush pencil in her hand was still refusing to take it off.

Compared with the entanglement here, the makeup artist here at Kashima Yu thickened her eyebrows a little. She looked very Takarazuka, and now she looks like a beautiful boy.

Where there is yin, there is yang.

The male number two has a masculine appearance. In today's scene, he needs to socialize with Kashima Yu, and then join the club activities at Toyosaki Academy in the afternoon-he is a member of the baseball club in the setting.

Sakakibara Kaede saw that the make-up artist was still lingering, and the other people had almost finished their makeup, so he suggested, "I think it's almost the same as the first scene, so add some dark circles for me."

"Hmm...Okay! Don't worry, it won't be obvious."

A few more strokes were added on the original basis, and the hair was messed up again. It looked a bit like the punk style of the previous era. With dark circles under his eyes, some people probably believed that he was in a band.

Putting on his school uniform, Kaede Sakakibara put the earmuffs around his neck from the vanity mirror group 1017459498. The lack of sleep yesterday caused him to yawn uncontrollably.

Rubbing his eyes, Kaede Sakakibara walked towards Mai Sakurajima.

The makeup artist is putting on foundation for her—this is enough, after all, this is not an idol TV series, the main character represents ordinary people, and the makeup that is too good-looking is not real.

But Kaede Sakakibara thinks that Mai Sakurajima will be able to play without makeup.

"You got into the show so soon?"

Mai Sakurajima raised her eyes from the mirror and looked at him. The tears that squeezed out of her eyes didn't look like tears that were deliberately suppressed to show tiredness, nor were they drops of eye drops when she couldn't cry.

"It's okay. After all, my first act is to write notes in class, so I sleep after class, right?"

Holding back a yawn is a very hard job, Sakakibara Kaede endured it for a long time, but finally lost to the devil's crooning.

A long yawn signifies compromise.For animals, yawning is a way to conceal roaring, but for Kaede Sakakibara, he really lacks sleep.

"Okay, okay, I know you are dedicated." Mai Sakurajima waved her hands in disgust, she got up from the chair, and stood face to face with Kaede Sakakibara.

The energy of the female high school students approaching made Sakakibara Kaede take a step back.

"Have you entered the drama to this extent?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded secretly with her chin resting, and looked straight at Kaede Sakakibara with piercing eyes, "Since Sakakibara-senpai has shown me your awareness, then I will go all out to let you see senior's acting skills."

Kaede Sakakibara watched as Sakurajima Mai and Madoka Higuchi, who had inexplicably ignited, were talking to each other, and walked into the classroom yawning.

The other students in Class B were sitting in their seats and chatting. Judging from the volume of chatting, they were still a little cautious. Many of them were facing the camera for the first time, which made their bodies a little weak.

The position of the male lead, Kashima Yu, is in the last row by the window, which is the default in the comics, proper treatment for the protagonist, and her tall figure will not give the audience any sense of disobedience.

Sakakibara Kaede found his seat, stroked the slightly rough tabletop, and looked up at the blackboard, as if he could see an old professor mumbling something.

The blackboard is full of dense mathematical formulas, and the students under the podium are copying the writing on the blackboard with breathless concentration.

Putting the props prepared in the desk—the first grade textbook on the table, Kaede Sakakibara took off the earphones, put on the glasses, and his eyes were clouded by the luster of the lenses.

In a sense, he is Kitahara Hiroshi.

It's just that he doesn't have a childhood sweetheart who has been waiting for him, nor does he have friends and brothers who can rely on each other.

Kitahara Hiroshi will become a doctor in the future, and he and Nishida Cheng will embark on the palace of marriage. The childhood goal of talking loudly to the starry sky is already a reality.

Sakakihara Kaede narrowed his eyes, he suddenly envied Kitahara Hiroshi.

After a while, the protagonists took their seats one after another, followed by an elderly gentleman holding a Chinese textbook in his hand.

All the actors except the students are school staff of Toyosaki Gakuen. The Chinese teacher only knows that he will take the freshman class here, but what kind of texts he takes depends entirely on his arrangement.

Actors from the two classes other than Class B gathered in another empty classroom and looked at the screen. On this big screen, everyone's actions could be seen clearly.Outside the classroom, the lighting team and the shooting team are already in place. There are two moving cameras outside the classroom, and there are four cameras in the classroom. There is also a camera drone hovering outside the window.

Director Aoyama gestured to the crew, "Action!"

The red light of the camera began to flicker, and the atmosphere in the classroom immediately became tense. . .Much like in class.

"Um, students, please open the textbook and turn to page 11. Today we are studying the Tale of Sumiyoshi..."

The old gentleman's leisurely tone sounded, Sakakibara Kaede opened the textbook, and took out the notebook and pen with exhaustion, he raised his glasses, squinted his eyes and stared at the writing on the blackboard.

If it's science, it's okay, but the articles in liberal arts are really drowsy.

The camera zoomed out, taking in the entire class of students, among which several bright characters skipped in front of the camera.

The drone outside the window took a precise shot of Kashima Yu's side face. It changed the angle and turned the camera to Higuchi Madoka.

Kaede Sakakihara listened to the old pedant talking about the works of art in the Kamakura period, tried to hold back the yawn, and tried to record the main points of the painting.

"Jingle Bell."

The simulated get out of class bell rang, the old gentleman closed the textbook, and Shi Shiran left the teacher after assigning post-reading homework.

Sakakibara Feng couldn't hold it any longer, pushed the golden mountain, turned the jade pillar, and knocked his head on the soft textbook. He turned his head slightly, revealing the side face.

get out of class time is usually 10 minutes, but in the case of shooting, it is estimated that it may take about half an hour to shoot, Kaede Sakakibara calculated the time in mind, and closed his eyes peacefully.

The main event is coming.

Director Aoyama narrowed his eyes, unconsciously tapping the manuscript in his hand.To be honest, the performance of everyone in Class B in class just now was quite satisfactory. It was not considered a pass for him, and they needed to be retaken. The only ones who stood out to him were the six members of the protagonist group.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing. As expected of the actor he found, even without any introduction, Sakakibara Kaede could be spotted in the group performances at a glance, like a night pearl in the dark.The performance of suppressing sleepiness and listening to the class surprised Director Aoyama. He turned to the extras behind him and said, "Look at Sakakibara-kun's acting skills. When will you be able to achieve this level, you will also be able to become leading actors."

"Pay attention to the look in Sakakibara-kun's eyes, the feeling of tiredness comes directly to the face, and he can directly communicate with the audience." Director Aoyama switched the camera, and from this angle, he could see the notes taken by the students, "And here, Sakakihara The notes you took are crooked, as if... trying not to fall asleep, which just highlights Hiroshi Kitahara's personality, a science nerd."

He leaned back in his chair contentedly, "Sakakihara-kun is in a hot state, it seems that he will be able to film his plot this afternoon."

The group performers stared straight at the screen, not daring to miss a single frame.

After class, the classroom became noisy instantly. Students could be seen chatting freely according to different groups. Several students left the classroom together, and some stuck their heads out of the window to feel the breeze.

The camera gradually retracted, skipped slightly from Sakakibara Kaede's side face, and focused on the female one and female three who were covering their mouths and smiling.

"Nishida-san, let's get along well."

Madoka Higuchi turned around and whispered to Mai Sakurajima in the seat behind her.

"Hmm...may I call you Dong-chan?"

The character played by Madoka Higuchi, Dong Ruri showed a warm smile like a spring breeze, "Hey, please be sure to call it that."

Chapter No.17 Bullying everywhere (4k)

"NG!"

Qing Shanyang shouted NG again, this is the third time he ordered this section to be re-shot, and once was not as good as once.

A total of 10 minutes or so of the class and the end of the get out of class were filmed multiple times. The actors looked a little embarrassed, and they were called out by Deputy Director Nakagawa one by one to point out their mistakes.

The changes in subtle expressions are extremely clear on the screen, and the seemingly smooth movements are sometimes full of discord on TV.

Director Aoyama narrowed his eyes, and played the third segment of the filming just now repeatedly.

Sakakibara Kaede leaned on the back of the chair, stretched his numb arms, and closed the textbook. This morning's shooting was over.

There is no doubt that the results of the shooting are not ideal.

"Senior Sakakibara, how did you feel on the first day of filming?"

Mai Sakurajima, who left her seat, came to Kaede Sakakibara's table, leaned forward, and put her hands on the Chinese textbook, "You're more tired than you imagined, right? Pretending to be asleep is a skill. Play the role of being sleepy but staying awake." more difficult role.”

"Well...it's okay."

Sakakibara Kaede rubbed his eyes for a while, his eyes were clear and clear again. The result of his sleep recovery was really good, but he had to get up when re-shooting, and stared at the blackboard with bloodshot eyes to copy down notes.

"Senior Sakakibara, you should have performed well, otherwise you would have been called out."

Mai Sakurajima pointedly said that there were less than seven or eight people left in the classroom at this time, except for the six members of the protagonist group, there were only the bad boy group headed by Kamihara.

The next set is the turn of everyone who participated in the sports department. As for the set of Kaede Sakakibara, it is the library after dusk.

In order not to interfere with the normal school life of the students in Toyosaki Academy, the crew did not step into the main teaching building. At the same time, they warned the actors not to cause trouble to others and smashed the signboard of STARS.

The same is true for lunch. Instead of sitting in the cafeteria of Toyosaki Academy and enjoying lunch with the school's high school students, they delivered boxed lunches to their door.

Following Mai Sakurajima to the vacant classroom next door, the staff handed them lunch, the two chose a seat at random, and broke apart the wooden chopsticks.

Began to eat!

. . .

"Nishida-san, you have been looking at that classmate, do you know him?"
