Chapter 17 The Good Man(1/2)
The police soon discovered a woman named Nishi Bundai. Her name was registered on the original pawnshop's list and she lived in Oishi 7-chome...
What Asuka Saito is going to perform now is a scene in which two policemen come to her home to investigate, and her mother Nishi Bunyo (played by Hirosue Ryoko) is not at home, so she, a primary school student, has to deal with two adults at the same time.
"3,2,1, start!"
Following the order from director Masaki Nishiura, (Kenichi Endo) Junzo Gaki, a detective from the Osaka Prefectural Police Investigation Section 1, and Sho Sakurai, a criminal from Koga, stood sideways in front of the camera one after the other, Sakura.
Jing Xiang knocked on the door lightly, and not long after, a young girl's voice came from the door:
"Who is it?"
"Is your mother at home?" Sakurai Sho asked. Endo Kenichi on the left turned around and focused his attention on the simple house.
"Who are you?" (Asuka Saito) Yukiho Nishimoto asked in a low voice.
"We are the police and want to ask your mother some questions!" Sakurai Sho explained.
"Cut! Do it again!" Director Masaki Nishiura shouted expressionlessly.
So the crew immediately adjusted the camera position again. Kenichi Endo and Sho Sakurai, who played the police, naturally walked to their original positions and waited for the director's command. Ye Xiao, who was standing behind the monitor lens, couldn't help but frowned.
It was the third time, but director Masaki Nishiura still refused to give it. It was obvious that this shot only showed Kenichi Endo and Sho Sakurai, and Asuka Saito only made a sound.
Even if the sound is not up to par, dubbing can still be done later. Is it necessary to do it three times in a row?
"Wait a minute!" Ye Xiao interrupted.
"Does our screenwriter have any opinions?"
On the set, the director is the boss. Even the producers cannot interfere too much in the creative aspects except for issues of funding and efficiency.
In addition to script issues, screenwriters are also not allowed to interfere too much in the director's work.
Because how to shoot is originally the director's job, and it is not anyone else's turn to intervene.
"I see that everyone is quite tired. Why don't you take a rest? Can I buy you some coffee to refresh yourself?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"Let's wait until we take this photo first." Xipu Zhengji replied with a smile.
The fourth time, passed!
The staff continued to adjust the plane position. Taking advantage of this time, Ye Xiao walked to Saito Asuka and asked softly:
"How about it?"
"Still a little... nervous." Asuka Saito lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He just said two lines without even showing his face, but he was slapped three times by the director...
Did she fail to agree on something?
"No matter how many times he pings, just ignore him and do your own thing. Do you understand?"
"Yes, teacher."
Saito Asuka nodded seriously, looking at the teacher with eyes full of trust. In such a place filled with strangers, Ye Xiao was the only man worthy of her trust.
As long as he thought about the teacher watching him at the scene, Saito Asuka's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
"Don't be afraid, you can do it." She kept encouraging herself in her heart, because the teacher was able to get such an important role as the heroine when she was a child, and she didn't want to embarrass the teacher.
The filming started again, with the camera positioned above Saito Asuka's head, filming Sakurai Sho's face through a narrow door crack.
"She hasn't come back yet." Saito Asuka said.
"Did you go shopping?"
Sakurai Sho had a headache, probably because he had been told by adults not to open the door to anyone he didn't know.
So even though the door was open, the chain was still hanging, with only about ten centimeters exposed.
"Work...should be back soon."
"Then we'll wait for her to come back."
"cut, pass!"
Probably because of Ye Xiao's fierce gaze, director Xipu Zhengji couldn't do anything casually, so he had to pass this section.
The seemingly smooth scenes and plots in the TV series are actually edited into short segments of videos and scenes, and then paired with suitable musical accompaniment to form a complete work.
In fact, when shooting, it was a very fragmented and complicated job. Its complexity and tediousness made it look like embroidery to Ye Xiao.
Constantly adjust the machine and track, the camera position and lens scheduling, background props, whether there is a gangster part, the coordination of the group actors, etc. Only when you really participate in the production of a film and television drama, will you know how to do it?
I understand that it is absolutely unfair to solely attribute the success of a work to the director, starring actors, or screenwriters.
The success of every film, whether it is the ratings of TV series or the popularity of movies at the box office, is behind the passion and even... sacrifices of countless unknown heroes.
Not to mention the substitutes, even the male and female protagonists themselves are at risk of endangering their lives.
Of course, for traffic niches and florets, there is no risk. When technology has advanced to the point where it is possible to cut out pictures and no one even needs to be on-site to shoot, the only risk may be that it causes a bad meal or a scandal.
In the first two scenes, Saito Asuka only made a voice, and the camera did not scan her face.
The third segment began, and the camera took a close-up of Saito Asuka's palm-sized face through the crack in the door.
Without any makeup, she looked up at the camera, her big black and bright eyes full of vigilance and caution.
"Um...can you show it to me?"
"What?"
"Certificate."
"Cut! No, you blink too much, Asuka-chan, you have to keep looking at the camera and don't blink!"
Director Nishiura Masaki ordered.
"Yes." Saito Asuka nodded.
The second time...
The third time...
...
The scene where the face was shown for the first time was shot ten times. On the eleventh time, Ye Xiao couldn't bear it anymore.
It’s just a TV series, do you think you’re making a movie? Even if it’s a movie, you wouldn’t do it this way!
"Director Nishiura, are you done with enough shots?"
"I have the final say on whether it's enough or not. It's not Mr. Ye's turn to worry about it, right?" Xipu Zhengji choked back. He was really fed up with seeing Ye Xiao on the set. He didn't know what kind of magic this junior had in him. What kind of magic power did the crew have?
Those women, no matter their age, always like to run to him.
Including this little girl named Saito Asuka, she always follows that kid like a follower, and he hates her just looking at her.
At such a young age, you know how shameless it is to flatter a man!
Yesterday, he overheard Ye Xiao telling other staff behind his back to take good care of Saito Asuka, and he made up his mind to give her some color!
Let everyone on the crew know who is the director?
"I said... that's it. Don't waste everyone's time. We have a mission, half a month, at least two episodes. If you do this, who will be responsible if you fail to complete the mission in the end?" Ye Xiao criticized it.
road.
"I only know time, but don't care about quality? I don't know where the newcomer Asuka Saito came from, so she was given such an important role? Can't she come back if she doesn't perform well? Because of her relationship with someone
?Japanese dramas are ruined by you guys who are messing around!" Xipu was remembering when he saw Ye Xiao jump out and put a big hat on him.
"We ruined Japanese dramas? Brother Nakagawa, what does this sound like to you?" Ye Xiao glanced at producer Shinko Nakagawa. They had just collaborated perfectly in the previous work "Star You" and joined hands.
They created Yuejiu, which has the highest ratings in recent years, and they actually said that they were responsible for ruining Japanese dramas?
Who dares to take the blame? Ye Xiao is not an unknown little character. Everyone at Fuji TV is full of expectations for this "White Night Journey", and Ye Xiao, as the core screenwriter, is naturally on the crew.
Has unprecedented dominance.
Xipu Zhengji was probably blinded by jealousy and underestimated Ye Xiao's too young age.
"Nishiura-san, please don't talk nonsense. Ye Jun is right to worry. Two episodes in half a month must be completed. I think there is no problem with the few scenes just now."
Nakagawa Shinko hit Nishiura Masaki with words. He didn't care about the conflict between Ye Xiao and Nishiura Masaki. He only cared about his own mission. If the two people's personal conflicts affected the filming progress of the TV series, he would absolutely not be able to do so.
tolerated.
If he fails to complete the task within the due date, he will suffer the consequences.
Moreover, Nishiura Masaki's words are too unpleasant. They are creating new glories for the Japanese drama Yue Jiu, rather than causing any destruction!
What a foul-mouthed person! No wonder none of the actors or actresses who have worked with him said anything good about him!
Producer Shinko Nakagawa expressed her support for Ye Xiao in public, and the situation of the crew became clear at a glance. It was very clear who was the leader and who was the auxiliary.
Xipu Zhengji was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled. Although he wanted to give up the job, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to film "White Night Journey". He knew how good the script was. Ye Xiao combined elements of commercial films into this film and accelerated the filming process.
The rhythm of the plot is advanced, focusing on the emotional scenes between men and women. There is no way, the audience likes to watch this scene.
Furthermore, as for the plots and fragments of crimes in the film, ordinary TV dramas will definitely stop at the clicks, but this is not the case with Ye Xiao. Within the maximum range of the TV drama's broadcast scale, Ye Xiao does his best to heighten the sensation.
Then there is the cp, the cp between the male and female protagonists Ninomiya Kazuya and Ishihara Satomi is pink, the kiss scene, and the sex scene are of course essential.
Everything is just to let the audience feel the poignant and desperate love story of the hero and heroine! The part about suspense and reasoning is placed on the edge, just as a suspenseful and appetizing reason to attract people to continue watching.
To be continued...
