Under the long biological clock, Naoki Nagayama got up energetically~
Even if I chatted with Akina until midnight last night, the storyline of "Koisora" will not change! I, Naoki Nagayama, said this! Even Amaterasu Omikami can't change it!
In the hot weather, Nagayama Naoki just did some warm-up exercises in the Yamazakura courtyard as usual. It was too hot to go out for a morning run at this time.
Youtarou changed to go for a walk in the evening...but it seemed that during the day, Mewtaro would play with the big dog with a tennis ball? Anyway, the amount of exercise should be enough.
After a simple meal of milk bread, Naoki Nagayama drove a convertible to the studio, where a casting meeting will be held today!
After passing the greetings from the employees, Nagayama Naoki ran into the office, "Ah~ it's so cool~"
The cool wind is blowing slowly from the air conditioner on the wall, making the small office at least 5 degrees cooler than the outside.
"Naoki-san, you're here so early." Itou Shuichi said vaguely, still chewing sushi, "The casting meeting is at 10 o'clock."
"Ha, there's nothing going on at home anyway. The weather will be cooler if it's earlier." Nagayama Naoki said lightly, then picked up the morning paper on the table and read it.
Itou Shuichi swallowed the last bite of sushi, and then drank it with ice water in one gulp: "Ah~ It feels so comfortable~"
"Drink ice water for breakfast, be careful of getting stomach problems~"
The health regimen in Naoki Nagayama's mind made him very confused about the Japanese habit of always drinking ice water. They already had the habit of drinking hot tea, so why would they still drink ice water? This must be an invasion of American culture.
Huo
"Haha~ How is that possible? My lifestyle is very healthy!"
Itou Shuichi ignored Nagayama Naoki, who looked like an old man, and instead asked Yoshimura Otomo: "Otomo-san, how many offices are coming today?"
Yoshimura Otomo picked up the registration form on the side: "It is expected that there will be 15 companies, but there may be more than 60 people who come to participate in the casting. Johnnys only came with 7 people!"
"Oh? Is the junior team coming too? Didn't I already call them?" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised.
"No, besides the youth team, there are 7 more people!"
"Ha~ there are so many..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "You are indeed a Johnny with a big family and a big business!"
After a few people chatted for a while, Yoshimura Otomo went out to arrange the reception for each character after they came over. Naoki Nagayama looked at the layout of the hall and said: Hao
"Shuichi-san, our studio may need to be renovated... There is no front desk, no layout, and the shooting hall in the middle is a bit inappropriate."
"Yeah...I really need to re-plan~"
Itou Shuichi also nodded. In the past two years, Shuyou Pictures has spent less and less time shooting in the studio, and it has gradually become a dedicated office area.
"Naoki-san, have you ever thought about finding a new office building?" Itou Shuichi asked hesitantly.
"Well... forget it~" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "I didn't originally plan to make the company very big, and there is no need to expand too much."
"Besides, Shuyou Pictures grew up from this place. It contains so many memories that I still feel a bit reluctant to let go~"
Itou Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to change. This was the place where he had been since he started working.
While the two were chatting, Fangcun Dayou had already arranged for employees to use moving curtains to separate several areas in the hall, and also prepared tables and chairs.
"Although it is a bit crude, everything that should be there is already there~" Otomo Yoshimura said, "Riko Hayano will temporarily serve as the front desk staff to receive the artists who come."
"Haha, Otomo-san is going to give Riko-chan a salary increase~ I always have to do this and that~"
Yoshimura Otomo smiled awkwardly: "Haha~ Isn't there no one here~ We should find a full-time front lady!"
The three people watched the employees gradually improve the reception area, and began to discuss the subsequent casting. In the end, all three people needed to observe together in the inspection area. Yoshimura Otomo mainly asked questions and responded; Itou Shuichi made requests, inspected acting skills, and made
Preliminary judgment; Naoki Nagayama can ask further questions and make the final decision.
Unknowingly, the time had already reached 9:30, and the people who came to cast their roles slowly began to enter the studio.
.....huo
Toshihiko Tahara of Johnny's came in a van with five other younger male artists, including Masahiro Motoki, Toshikazu Fukawa, Yuei Marumaru, Kenichi Okamoto, Kazuya Takahashi, Shoji Narita and other 6 people, that is, Shiba
Team Persimmon and the future male fighting team.
But now several of them are still 15 or 16 years old, just young teenagers.
"Tahara-senpai," Motoki Masahiro is not as old-fashioned as when he later starred in "The Embalmer". He is still a handsome young man with ear-length short hair. He asked excitedly, "Senior, do you know about Shuyu Pictures?"
Tahara Toshihiko is quite friendly in front of his younger generation: "I only know him a little bit. Last year's famous "The Story of Hachiko" and "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" were both produced by Shuyu Pictures."
"Eh... I know this too~" Masahiro Motoki came to the side, "Tahara-senpai has participated in so many announcements, haven't you met two directors?"
"Well... Naoki Nagayama, I have met him before." Toshihiko Tahara remembered a previous variety show, "But it was just a casual acquaintance."
At that time, Kondo Masahiko was so focused on talking bad about the other party that he never had the chance to talk to Nagayama Naoki. However, in this casting invitation invitation, it was specifically stated that Kondo Masahiko was not required to appear... Sure enough, it was cause and effect.
What a cycle!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of Kondo Masahiko’s twisted face when he heard the news, Tahara Toshihiko couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth: “But seeing him chatting with acquaintances, it seems
He is a very cheerful person."
"Are you cheerful~" Masahiro Motoki nodded, "What about the other one? Director Shuichi Itou, it seems that the two of them will produce it together this time."
"I'm not familiar with Director Yi Tang. He doesn't often attend announcements, but the three guys from the youth team should be familiar with each other. They have worked together twice."
Tahara Toshihiko was a little jealous. A reserve member like Junior Team was actually able to star in two well-known movies. Such resources were difficult for even top idols like himself to obtain.
"The youth team, they seem to have been confirmed again?" came a voice from other teenage idols.
"Yes, they have a very good relationship with Naoki Nagayama..." Toshihiko Tahara was a little jealous, but he still acted like the big brother, "So, if you guys can have a good relationship with Naoki Nagayama..."
Don’t miss this opportunity!”
"Hi!"
When a few people arrived at the studio, there were already some idol artists and their managers from other agencies inside.
When they saw Junhiro Ozawa leading Johnny's team, some people had unhappy looks on their faces, while others greeted them warmly and seemed to have a good relationship with them.
A group of teenagers gathered in one place, and even though they were under the supervision of adult managers, a buzzing noise soon began.
Yoshimura Otomo saw that there were more and more people, so he notified Hayano Riko at the front desk to start as soon as possible.
.......
"First of all, No. 1, Kyouaki Honda, please go to the assessment area."
According to the order, male idols of the right age began to enter the assessment area one by one, but the first place surprised Naoki Nagayama and the others.
Kyouaki Honda, a handsome boy full of rock and roll temperament, is very suitable for his 17-year-old age.
"Good morning everyone!" The voice didn't sound so delicate, it was a relatively normal teenage voice.
"Since I'm here for an audition, I must
Now that you understand our script, please explain your strengths at the beginning." Yoshimura Otomo started asking questions according to the normal procedure.
"Hi, I played the role of Mr. Jinpachi in Class 8, Grade 3 the year before last, and I also played a high school student..."
Listening to Kyouaki Honda slowly talking about his performance experience, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou also checked against the registration form.
After Itou Shuichi asked a few questions about the performance, Yoshimura Otomo pulled out a situational dialogue. Itou Shuichi cooperated, and Honda Kyouaki began to try improvisational performances.
The high-spirited tone and exaggerated body movements, but the facial expressions are a bit stiff. It can be seen that the performance techniques are not as mature as professional actors, but they are very consistent with the characteristics of high school students.
"Naoki-san, do you have anything you want to ask?" Itou Shuichi had no questions.
Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, and then said: "Um, Honda-kun, have you ever had a fight?"
"Eh?" The boy hesitated obviously, not sure whether he said he had been beaten or not.
"The movie "High School" is quite violent. If you want to participate in it, there will be a lot of action scenes!" Naoki Nagayama continued, "Although our theater will have good protection, injuries are definitely inevitable.
Yes, is it acceptable?"
"Uh...Hi! I have no problem!" The answer was very firm.
"Hahaha, don't worry now. Go back and talk to your agent. Go to the boxing gym and try being a punching bag, and then we'll talk." Naoki Nagayama smiled kindly, "I don't have any other questions."
"Hi! Arigado!" Honda Kyouaki, who was confused, bowed and then slowly exited.
"Did Naoki-san agree with him?" Itou Shuichi asked a little surprised, he was the first one.
"No, this guy's face is too feminine, which may be suitable for some of these roles, but if he plays Takiya Genji, some masculine qualities cannot be expressed." Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "Let's go to the next one."
As Hayano Riko continued to call, other actors also came in one by one.
.......
By the time Tahara Toshihiko arrived, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the three people in the assessment area had only eaten a little bread.
"Ah, Tahara-san." Nagayama Naoki greeted, "Long time no see."
Tahara Toshihiko was surprised that Nagayama Naoki actually greeted him, but after all, he had experienced a lot, so he kept calm and replied: "Yes, Nagayama-san! I am very happy to come to participate in the screening of Shuyou Films today."
"Haha, I have no problem with Tahara-san's acting skills at all, but I still have to let Director Itou here know about it." Nagayama Naoki is still very optimistic about Tahara Toshihiko. After all, he has appeared in many TV movies.
His singing and dancing skills are also very good.
Itou Shuichi did not relax because of Naoki Nagayama's words. He still carefully examined Tahara Toshihiko's ability and even increased the difficulty in the improvisational performance.
When it was over, he said in a very business-like manner: "Hi, Mr. Tahara, we have a general understanding of your abilities. Thank you for coming to the audition today. If there is any follow-up progress, we will contact you."
"Hi, thank you very much for this opportunity, Arigado!" Toshihiko Tahara bowed professionally to express his gratitude.
After he went out, Yoshimura Otomo asked: "Naoki-san, do you think he can be the protagonist?"
"Tahara Toshihiko's face is too upright...Although Takitani Genji also prefers positive roles, he has a certain rogue character, Tahara-san is a little worse~"
"Then let's continue~" Huo
Johnny's training for male idols can be said to be very good. The Shibo Persimmon Team and the Male Douhu Team that followed were all good at singing and dancing, and even the performances were impressive, which surprised the three of them.
"Sure enough, Johnny is really good at creating male idols!" Itou Shuichi couldn't help but sigh.
Just as he was talking, the next candidate came up,
"Private Marseille, I am
Hiroyuki Sanada, who is here for the audition, good afternoon to all examiners." Standing in front of him was a handsome guy with a melancholy temperament.
Eh? This person looks a bit familiar!
Naoki Nagayama looked at Hiroyuki Sanada, wait a minute, isn't this the General Guangming in the flower armor who will appear in "The Promise" in the future?!!
Now I can’t tell what it will look like later! Hao
Itou Shuichi asked him some questions as usual and then asked him to perform impromptu. However, although Sanada Hiroyuki was not very young, he had rich performance experience and performed very smoothly.
"Naoki-san, do you have anything to ask?"
"Ah~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Sanada-san, do you have any experience in fighting?"
"Hi! I once participated in "The Yagyu Family Conspiracy", so I learned kendo and katana." Hiroyuki Sanada replied.
"Then there's no problem!" Naoki Nagayama motioned for Itou Shuichi to continue.
Looking at the actor in front of him, Itou Shuichi was still business-like: "Mr. Sanada, thank you for coming to the audition today. If there is any news, we will notify you."
"Hi, Arigado." Bow and exit.
Japanese actors, aside from other aspects, still treat directors and producers with great respect.
The audition lasted until the evening, and by the time it was all over, the three of them were a little tired.
Yoshimura Otomo packed up the registration form and scoring sheet and asked directly: "Naoki-san, which one have you chosen?"
"Well, there are quite a few of them that are pretty good." Naoki Nagayama stretched out, "Let's hire them all~ Anyway, there are a lot of roles this time."
"After arriving on the set, put on the uniform and try it out again to determine the final role."
Itou Shuichi also nodded: "Then let's do it!"
........Huo
Johnny's idol Kondo Masahiko was losing his temper in the conference room of the office.
"Baga! Kono!" The incompetent and furious young man showed hatred on his twisted face, "You actually specifically stated that I am not required to participate in the show! Tree Friends Movie! Baga!"
Manager Junhiro Ozawa, who had returned, advised him: "If we didn't have a good relationship with him before, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Damn it! That guy Naoki Nagayama, I must beat him up hard!" Kondo Masahiko said harshly in a dark voice.
At this time, Kitagawa Marie walked into the conference room.
When he saw his backer, Kondo Masahiko's face immediately changed, with a look of grievance on his face: "Marisan, this is so sad! Shuyu Pictures is clearly targeting me!"
Seeing how pitiful her personal pet was, Kitagawa Mari quickly patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. Who doesn't have enemies in the entertainment industry? There's no need for us to deal with Shuyu Movies. I'll arrange more for you later."
What a good opportunity!" Huo
"Marisan, you are so kind!" Kondo Masahiko smiled on his face, and then his sweet words made the wrinkles on the face of Kitagawa Mari, who was in her fifties, smile away.
Junhiro Ozawa saw the happy atmosphere between the two and silently exited the conference room,
