In fact, this is the information error of Nakamura Masahiro. When he was hanging out in the domestic film and television industry, he was used to seeing big-name artists or popular celebrities doing some tricks.
Either they find fault with the living conditions provided by the crew that are not good enough, they dislike the director and the actors in the crew, or they criticize the low ranking of the cast in publicity and other issues.
Anyway, as long as they want to cause trouble, they can come up with a seemingly reasonable excuse in minutes. Even if they sign a starring contract, the binding effect is very limited.
Because of this residual impression, Nakamura Masahiro is a little worried about the attitudes of Kimura Takuya, Ayase Haruka and others.
In the prosperous Tokyo, Nakamura Masahiro certainly does not have such worries. After all, there is nothing to say about the conditions in Tokyo. Even if he has a small objection, it can be resolved smoothly.
But Nemuro is different. It is remote and desolate, and the infrastructure is backward. Even if they are arranged to stay in a hotel in the city, it will not help.
According to Nakamura Masahiro's judgment, maybe the hotels in Nemuro City are not as good as the conditions here at the base.
After all, Nemuro's population is only about 30,000, and its main industry is fishing. With such a foundation in place, you know that the conditions cannot be that good.
With the comfort of his father Nakamura Tomimasa, Nakamura Masahiro felt relieved. He had indeed neglected the particularity of the Japanese entertainment industry. Even big-name artists cannot easily get emotional as long as they sign a starring contract.
It took two days for Masahiro Nakamura to have a detailed understanding of the various departments of the crew and to contact related matters.
After a round of communication, the overall situation was much better than Nakamura Masahiro expected. Although others did not come to Nemuro, various departments of the crew were actively prepared.
It may be a bit exaggerated to use the word "everything is ready" to describe it, but the crew is indeed well prepared in all aspects.
Subsequently, Nakamura Masahiro held a more detailed exchange with leading actors such as Kimura Takuya, Kagawa Teruyuki, Shibata Kyohei, Sakai Masato and Ayase Haruka.
In fact, through previous filming in Tokyo, Nakamura Masahiro has already developed a sufficient tacit understanding with these leading actors.
Basically, as long as Nakamura Masahiro's shooting requirements are clearly stated, they can make two more adjustments to meet Nakamura Masahiro's shooting standards.
But now that there has been such a long gap, they are focusing on the commercial performances arranged by the office. The performance status has been interrupted for a long time, and it will definitely not be easy to get back.
The state of performance is a very mysterious concept. Once the state is up, the performance will become smoother and smoother, and the lens effects will always be very good.
But if it is interrupted for a long time and is affected, then the state of the performance will have big problems.
If you encounter some actors who are not talented enough or inexperienced, it will take a long time to adjust before you can slowly get back to your best condition.
Of course, the leading actors in "Antarctica" don't have so many problems, but it may not be that simple to adjust their performance in a short period of time.
Although they all said there was no problem, the reality was as Nakamura Masahiro expected, and the filming was forced to be paused as soon as the first official start of filming.
"Stop...Kimura-san, your performance is wrong. I'll give you a few minutes to adjust and try again later."
Looking at the monitor, his eyes moved to Kimura Takuya in front of the camera. Masahiro Nakamura took a loudspeaker and loudly announced the suspension of filming.
This scene is a one-man show by Kimura Takuya. Kuramochi Gakushi, played by him, returns to the former Antarctic expedition camp, then kneels on the snow and digs a hole with his hands to find the Hutai dog that was abandoned here.
At this time, Kimura Takuya's emotions should be excitement, nervousness and anticipation, and his expression should be more restrained, but his performance was a bit too hard.
If it were a little more exaggerated, it could be regarded as Yan Yi. But the problem is that "Antarctica" is not a comedy TV series, and there is no need for such an over-the-top performance.
Nakamura Masahiro took the shooting plan from the temporary assistant's hand, looked through it roughly, and then took a pen to mark some details on it.
He did not call Kimura Takuya over for performance guidance, but let him make adjustments on his own: after all, he is a veteran superstar, so he still has to give him some face.
As soon as Kimura Takuya walked out of the camera's range, his assistant immediately greeted him and quickly put a thick coat on him to prevent Kimura Takuya from getting cold.
The other leading actors next to him wanted to come forward and chat with Kimura Takuya, but when they saw the other party's deep thinking, they all gave up their plans.
They had just told the director of the TV series, Masahiro Nakamura, that there was no problem, but in the end, during the official filming, Takuya Kimura's performance was not up to par. This was somewhat embarrassing.
"Kimura-san's condition probably hasn't adjusted yet. He's a little careless..."
Kagawa Teruyuki watched Kimura Takuya constantly adjusting his subtle expressions, and couldn't help but chat in a low voice with Masato Sakai next to him.
"The performance just now should be a little more restrained, and it will slowly continue to unfold later."
"Absolutely. The management of facial expressions should be a step-by-step process..."
Sakai Masato recognized Kagawa Teruyuki's words very much. He has very rich acting experience and also saw the problem with Kimura Takuya's performance just now.
"When Kimura-san was performing, he discarded the front part and directly used the back part."
"Supervisor Nakamura is also strict, but if he is replaced by a supervisor with junior qualifications, he might be able to pass."
After casually chatting about Kimura Takuya's performance, Kagawa Teruyuki brought the topic to Nakamura Masahiro.
"That's Kimura Takuya after all. It's okay to relax the standards and treatment."
"It's true to be strict. This is a Taiwan celebration drama from TBS TV station. Supervisor Nakamura doesn't dare to be careless."
Sakai Masato understands what Kagawa Teruyuki means. After all, Kimura Takuya is a top star in the entertainment industry and must enjoy many privileges.
"Actually, this is good for Kimura-san. Only by being more strict can we make a good movie."

Listening to the chat between Kagawa Teruyuki and Sakai Masato, Ayase Haruka couldn't help but interject. Originally, there was no need for her to arrive at Nemuro so early, but since almost all the leading actors had arrived, she followed them.
Anyway, just treat it as a trip, and Ayase Haruka will leave for Tokyo after staying for a while.
After all, although she is also the starring role in "Antarctica", her scenes are mainly concentrated in the Tokyo shooting part, and there are really not many scenes involving Antarctica.
Kimura Takuya didn't know that he was being reviewed by fellow cast members such as Kagawa Teruyuki and Sakai Masato. After adjusting attentively, he returned to filming.
With Kimura Takuya in place, all departments of the crew started running quickly. Following Nakamura Masahiro's order, the photography assistant took the clapper board and closed it tightly.
""Antarctica", scene 6, third shot, first shot..."
The performance space in the center of the venue was given up, the crew and other people hid behind the camera, and filming officially restarted.
I saw Kuramochi Gakuchi, played by Kimura Takuya, slowly moving forward. He took a few staggering steps, as if he had lost his center of gravity, and suddenly knelt on the snow.
Immediately afterwards, Kuramochi Takeshi bent down and lay on the ground. After a brief pause, he suddenly started digging in the snow.
The camera zoomed in, and Kimura Takuya's performance continued. The thick snow was peeled away, revealing half of the brown objects.
He dug along the side of the object twice more. As the snow was cleared away, the brown object completely revealed the shape of the collar.
In the close-up shot, Kimura Takuya paused his movements, the expression on his face was obviously complicated, and his eyes were filled with surprise and surprise.
"You've always been here..."
This is a relatively demanding performance, and the detailed changes in expressions cannot be faked. Perhaps the adjustments made in the past few minutes played a role, and the effect Kimura Takuya presented at this time was very good.
From this point of view, Kimura Takuya is worthy of being a top-notch superstar. He has been able to dominate the entertainment industry for so many years and is popular now, so he does have considerable strength.
Although many critics often complain and criticize Kimura Takuya's poor acting skills, imagine if his acting skills were really poor, how could Kimura Takuya have been famous for so many years?
Fans alone cannot support Takuya Kimura's superstar status, and the title of King of Japanese Drama is not just talk.
"ok, very good..."
After staring at the monitor screen and confirming that there were no problems, Nakamura Masahiro picked up the loudspeaker and announced that the shooting had passed smoothly.
"Kimura-san, please prepare the next one."
"Hi, I got it."
Hearing that the filming passed smoothly, Kimura Takuya also breathed a sigh of relief. He had worked very hard just now. If he couldn't pass, it would be really torture.
The next shot is a medium shot. The main shot is of Kimura Takuya digging a hole in the snow and then finding another broken collar and chain.
The performance in this section was very simple. Kimura Takuya only took a short rest before getting into the performance and passed it smoothly again.
The filming continued, and time passed slowly and quietly. Although some minor problems were encountered, the overall filming process of the crew was very smooth.
"Okay, that's it for today. Let's finish cleaning up and go to bed early. We will continue shooting tomorrow."
After completing today's shooting plan, Nakamura Masahiro directly announced the disbandment. Although he also thought about speeding up the progress, the shooting has just begun after all, and there is no need to increase the intensity so quickly.
In addition, the environment here in Nemuro is a bit different from that in Tokyo, and high-intensity shooting also requires a gradual adaptation process.
Because of the jet lag, it got dark very early in Nemuro. It was still bright in Tokyo around four o'clock, but the sky here had already become grayish.
