After such an unexpected episode, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little solemn.
Seeing that something was wrong, many staff members found reasons or opportunities to quietly exit the conference room in order to escape from dealing with Masahiro Nakamura.
Nakamura Masahiro didn't care much about this. He handed over the members of Nogizaka46 to Ino, who was responsible for the girls' brief training.
Although the roles played by the girls are all minor supporting roles in the movie, and they don't have many roles, there are still some frontal scenes, so they need to receive some training in acting skills.
Otherwise, if we really start shooting directly, none of the girls from Nogizaka46 will be qualified, and the shooting results will definitely be terrible.
Before participating in Nogizaka46’s selection event, most of these girls were amateurs and had basically no experience in front of the camera.
Even after joining Nogizaka46, their main focus was on learning to dance and sing. Not to mention their lack of acting skills, they just didn't understand anything.
Masahiro Nakamura doesn't have much patience to accompany them to spend time sharpening the lens. That's the kind of treatment only main actors get, and they don't have that qualification yet.
"Director Nakamura, Sugata-san would like to ask you for a half-day leave..."
After settling the girls who came in with Nakamura Masahiro, Ino returned to Nakamura Masahiro again.
"Ask for leave?"
Subconsciously frowning, Nakamura Masahiro looked around casually and asked, "Where are the others?"
Noticing that Nakamura Masahiro's expression was a little hesitant, Inoye felt a little flustered, so he replied bravely: "The matter seems to be urgent, Sugata-san will leave first."
It stands to reason that Nakamura Masahiro is the one in full control of the crew. If Sugata Masaki needs to ask for leave, he should go to Nakamura Masahiro.
As a result, without even Nakamura Masahiro knowing, Ino took the initiative and approved Sugata Masaki's leave.
It’s all done, and you’re just telling me now? Don’t you know that you need to ask for permission to do things?
Looking at Ino with a somewhat unkind look, Nakamura Masahiro felt more and more that the other person looked a little displeased.
"How about I call him back?"
Facing Nakamura Masahiro's sharp eyes that seemed to be real, Ino's Adam's apple twitched and he swallowed involuntarily.
"You've already approved my vacation, why are you calling me back?"
His stern gaze stayed on Ino for two seconds. Nakamura Masahiro moved to sit on the chair, and then waved his hand.
"So be it...."
Feeling tired in his heart, Nakamura Masahiro raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, watching Ino quietly leave.
Ever since the crew of the movie "Model Student" was officially formed, Masahiro Nakamura has always felt a little awkward.
Compared with the rudimentary conditions during the filming of "A Long Day", the crew of "Model Student" is now quite complete.
From photography to lighting, from radio to makeup, from art to costumes...the crew is well-equipped for every position.
However, although the crew who prepared the film had everything ready, Masahiro Nakamura no longer felt like he could use his fingers like an arm.
He is indeed the full-time person in charge of the film crew of "Model Student", but Warner's Ino and Toho's Yokoi are like two partners with independent consciousness.
They don't really disagree with Nakamura Masahiro, but their sometimes actions really make Nakamura Masahiro feel a little conflicted.
"Ino-san, I can't help you. I'll sacrifice you first..."
Complex thoughts lingered in Nakamura Masahiro's mind for a long time. After Nakamura Masahiro made up his mind, he took out his cell phone and dialed Yoshinori Kanemaru of Warner Company.
'Kanemaru-san, do you have time?'
"What's wrong? Nakamura-san...."
Suddenly receiving a call from Masahiro Nakamura, Kanemaru Yoshi was a little puzzled. He didn't think too much and went straight to the topic: "If you have anything to do, just tell me..."
Although they are named as the producers of the movie "Model Student", Yoshinori Kanemaru and Genki Kawamura of Toho Company actually do not manage specific affairs.
On the one hand, he and Kawamura Genki have a more important thing, which is to contact film distributors in Japan's domestic and overseas markets to prepare in advance for the smooth release of "Model Student" in the future.
On the other hand, there are subordinates arranged in the crew to be responsible for specific matters, so of course they don't need to worry so much.
If worrying too much interferes with the operation of the crew and arouses resistance from Masahiro Nakamura, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Take Ino-san back..."
"What's up with him?"
Kanemaru Yoshi felt a bit caught off guard. It seemed that Ino had only been joining the crew for two days, so why was she suddenly rejected by Nakamura Masahiro?
"I think he is not suitable for this crew."
Nakamura Masahiro's determined tone sounded. Although his tone was calm, it gave Kanemaru Yoshinoori the feeling that he could not refuse.
"this...."
Kanemaru Yoshi couldn't help but hesitate. Nakamura Masahiro's reason was somewhat unconvincing.
Ino was assigned to the crew of "Model Student" by him. If he were to be transferred back to Warner Bros., Ino's reputation would inevitably be negative.
However, the person in charge of the crew is, after all, the supervisor, Masahiro Nakamura, and it is not okay to disobey him.
"Nakamura-san, can you give me a convincing reason? After all, if I transfer him back to the company, I have to give an explanation..."
"He and Toho's Yokoi-san influenced my control of the crew."
Nakamura Masahiro replied calmly: "I need authority within the crew. He was unlucky and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun..."
"All right...."
Kanemaru Fang assured in a firm tone: "He will not appear on the set again tomorrow."
"Nakamura-san, actually you don't need to do this."
After thinking for a moment, Kanemaru Fang took the initiative and said: "As long as the rules are set firmly, if anyone dares to jump out and cause trouble, then just let him go."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If such a high-pressure policy is used, the crew will be difficult to manage."
Nakamura Masahiro does not agree with Kanemaru Yoshinoori's suggestion. Even though the social beasts in the Japanese workplace seem to be submissive, it is just superficial.
If there is really a set of high-pressure policy management, it is guaranteed that all kinds of immortals in the Japanese workplace will emerge from their diving state.
Besides, the employees of Warner and Toho are not Nakamura Masahiro’s subordinates after all, and excessive restrictions can easily trigger their resistance.
"After all, they are not my subordinates... Besides, I still want the reputation in the circle."
Kanemaru Yoshi was silent for a long time. He understood Nakamura Masahiro's thoughts and did not want to involve too much, nor did he want to make his reputation too bad.
If you are a highly qualified supervisor, you will certainly not be afraid of rumors in the circle and resistance from your subordinates, and there will be no one at the bottom looking for trouble.
After all, supervisors belong to the upper echelon of the entertainment industry. If you offend the supervisor, it means you can say goodbye to the entertainment industry.
But Nakamura Masahiro's situation is a little special. He has both fame and strength, but his qualifications are slightly lacking.
Whether they are employees of Warner or Toho, they all have seniority in the entertainment industry for many years.
On the other side of the ocean, the crew was of course the director, Masahiro Nakamura, who said: If anyone is not discerning, just let them go.
But in the Japanese entertainment industry, which pays attention to the junior and senior system, and in cross-company cooperation, Nakamura Masahiro had to pinch his nose and give in a little.
"That's it, I'm hanging up the phone, you go to work first..."
Not hearing Kanemaru Yoshino's reply for a long time, Nakamura Masahiro simply hung up the phone.
Sitting on the chair, Nakamura Masahiro relaxed for a while, then got up and left the conference room, and started to inspect every department of the crew along the corridor.
Probably because the previous incident had spread throughout the crew, when Masahiro Nakamura arrived, every department tried to keep as quiet as possible.
Everyone is busy with the work at hand. Even when there is an argument or chat, they are more careful to lower the volume.
"Supervision..."
When passing by a classroom that was temporarily set up as an equipment warehouse, Masahiro Nakamura just took a look at it when he was discovered by the staff inside.
Masahiro Nakamura nodded calmly in response, then walked in and found that they were adjusting the photography equipment needed for the shooting.
With a sufficient budget and strong support from Warner Bros. and Toho, Masahiro Nakamura was unwilling to wrong himself, so he directly rented the most advanced shooting equipment, namely arri.alexa.
Originally, according to Nakamura Masahiro's original idea, it must be direct purchase. But since they only rented and not sold, Nakamura Masahiro could only settle for the next best thing.
Although in many lists and surveys, the usage rate of arri cameras is very small, in most high-end film and television applications, photographers basically use arri.alexa.
For no other reason, arri.alexa wins because of its strength. The most intuitive proof is that almost all of the nominated and winning films at the Oscars every year are taken by arri.alexa.
"How's it going? Are you familiar with it?"
After stopping and watching for two minutes, Nakamura Masahiro noticed that the staff were a little timid, and he couldn't help but frowned.
"It's almost there. In two more days, we should be sure."
Noticing that Masahiro Nakamura looked a little unhappy, Tetsuya Sugisaki, the leader of the photography team, stepped forward bravely.
"Okay, since there are still a few days until the official shooting, you must be familiar with the equipment."
Nakamura Masahiro didn't make any comments, he just gave instructions to everyone in an exhorting tone.
"I hope there won't be any technical problems after the movie starts shooting."
As Japan's film industry is declining, a large number of employees have switched to fields such as TV series and variety shows, making the use and development of related photographic equipment lagging behind.
It’s not that there are no advanced things. The main thing is that most Japanese movies, except for animation, are made with a low cost and focus on a thrifty housekeeper. In fact, they are just picky.
After all, Japan's market expectations are only that high. If you invest too much, even if you succeed, it will actually be a failure that loses money.
It's two extremes from the film and television industry on the other side of the river in Nakamura Masahiro's memory. Unless it's a poor crew with no money, the photography equipment used for filming is relatively high-end.
Therefore, many film practitioners in Japan have rarely even heard of using these advanced photographic equipment.
