If a person does not do things down-to-earth, then all hopes will be in vain.
This was said by Mo Luowa, and Chihara Rinto thought it made sense. Even though he had begun to imagine the wonderful scene of himself and Murakami Iori standing on the top floor of the Kanto United Main Building overlooking everything, when he returned to the crew station, he immediately calmed down.
I returned to reality and returned to work.
Let’s keep the working group from collapsing first. You can’t wait until you turn over and then train again!
Tsumura, Yoshizaki, Miyawaki and others were already checking today's shooting content. Among them, Yoshizaki was expressionless, listening to his colleagues commenting on his acting skills. He must have been extremely embarrassed, while Nishijima Rumi, who played Higurashi's wife, simply
Disappeared, as if he didn't want to see himself on the screen at all - if Chihara Rinto hadn't held the righteous title of "Rescue Working Group" and had high enough personal prestige, this creative team would have rebelled long ago.
Qianhara Rinto quickly joined in, took a few glances, and asked directly: "Is there anything wrong or needs reshooting?"
Tsumura Haruki shook her head: "No." After he finished speaking, he immediately began to flatter him again, with a look of admiration: "Your coaching ability is really amazing. Miss Anton's performance far exceeded expectations. It is unimaginable that she has never received acting training.
.”
The Miss Anton he refers to is Anton Guangzhi, a super unlucky guy.
She was originally a female clerk in the film operations department. Although she was a dispatch worker, her life was not difficult. After all, the work was relatively easy and relatively respectable. She was just waiting to get married and change her job to become a housewife, but she didn't expect that a bolt from the blue would happen.
With one sound, the film operations class suddenly became a "cell" specially used to detain those who opposed the new director.
The former section chief and several staff members were transferred away one after another, and she, the dispatch worker, was left to take charge of the handover. Inexplicably, she followed Rinto Chihara and a group of people into the basement. She had nothing to do all day long and could only help the new section chief Murakami I.
Make coffee or help print materials for an intensive learning class.
But it's okay, the salary is not low anyway, so it's acceptable.
But this time when the class was making an independent film, Chihara Rinto originally wanted Seiko to play the role of Higurashi Takayuki's daughter, Higurashi Mao, but Seiko couldn't play it. In the end, he brought everyone in for a round of auditions, and she was baffled.
She was selected - she didn't know how, but she suddenly started making movies again, and it felt like a dream.
Chihara Rinto paid great attention to her. The emotional line between Higurashi and his daughter was not clear in the original work. He emphasized this point and even added a scene at the end for better echo. Therefore, although Anton Mitsuae's role is not
There are many, but he didn't take much shots in today's shooting. He has been giving special guidance to her, using the [Empathy] skill to force her into the role, and tried again and again. Otherwise, with just a few sets of shots, it would not be the same as in the Murakami family.
It took a whole day of shooting.
He listened to Tsumura Haruki's words and nodded: "That's good, pick it up and let me see."
Miyawaki Yohito immediately started to rewind the tape and helped Chihara Rinto control the playback speed, skipping a few paragraphs from time to time. After all, it hadn't been edited yet, and there were a lot of failed or abandoned clips in between.
Chihara Rinto watched it very attentively, and began to imagine the effect of these filming fragments being edited in place, while Tsumura Haruki watched and couldn't help laughing again - watching her familiar colleagues perform in the camera,
It's hard for them to get involved in the show, and I just want to laugh when I watch it.
Especially Rumi Nishijima, who usually has a straight face and the demeanor of an elite strong woman, but this time she was forcibly assigned to play the role of Higurashi Takayuki's wife, a housewife, which made him cry even more.
Chihara Rinto heard this and turned his head to look at Tsumura Haruki expressionlessly. Tsumura Haruki suddenly trembled and immediately straightened up his attitude - the boss was not happy. If he joked about work again, he might turn it into a joke later.
, better be honest!
The selected clips were played quickly. Chihara Rinto nodded, feeling that it was okay and usable, and then said: "Okay, let's discuss tomorrow's shooting."
The director team all took out the scripts and turned to the pages they were going to shoot tomorrow. Chihara Rinto looked at it for a while and said thoughtfully: "We lack the budget and the acting skills of the actors are insufficient. The shots can only be simple, but simplicity does not mean that
There is no information. Tomorrow’s shooting will mainly focus on the production meeting of the drama within the drama. We need to use the minimum number of shots to show the group portrait effect, such as the arrogance and arrogance of the hero in the drama within the drama, the drunken decadence of the cameraman actor, etc.
, we have to outline the psychological outline and pass it on to the audience to pave the way for the future, so who has anything to add in this regard?"
This is the last discussion. The filming of this section will officially start tomorrow. Once the filming is completed, it will be difficult to start over again unless there is a great idea. For a while, Tsumura, Yoshizaki, Miyawaki and others all looked at the script and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Miyawaki Yohito said: "Let's not talk about the supporting characters. Higurashi has a deep affection for his daughter. Maybe we can put a photo of his daughter in his notepad and accidentally reveal it when he is flipping through it to show the audience.
It conveys a subconscious feeling that he always has his daughter in his heart..."
Chihara Rinto nodded slowly, while Tsumura Haruki hesitated: "But we have already done something similar with photos. There is an old photo on Higurashi's desk of his daughter riding on his neck and holding a camera when she was a child, and the ending
When he was stacking Arhat, his daughter rode on his neck and held the camera high to complete the last shot. Wouldn’t it be too repetitive if we do it again now?”
"It shouldn't matter..."
Qianhara Rinto thought for a while and said: "I think we can give it a try. I have decided on this for now. Later, I will ask the props team to take a photo. Then, who has any good ideas for other characters?"
"According to the requirements of the script, this is the first time it is mentioned that the sound engineer who plays the role in the drama will suffer from diarrhea if he drinks hard water? Maybe we should let him take some medicine before the meeting to show that he is a little weaker."
"Maybe it's feasible. I'll take this shot then and see if it can be edited into the feature film."
"You can also play with the composition. It's not enough to create an anxious atmosphere just by having a crying baby, right? With this set of shots, try unbalancing the center of gravity of the picture?"
"It's not necessary. You don't know how scary it is when a baby cries. I think just crying is enough."
"I also don't think it's appropriate. If the composition is temporarily changed, many positions need to be adjusted, which can easily lead to problems."
…………
The discussion meeting lasted for more than an hour. The director team came up with some crooked ideas for tomorrow's shooting. Most of them were useless, but a few were ready to be tried tomorrow. They made the final improvements to the script, and then they dispersed, wanting to go back to work.
Those who are home should go home, and those who don’t want to go home should rest.
Chihara Rinto had no intention of going home. He took the script and read it for a while, doing various simulations in his mind. Then he went to look at the previously filmed content and made plans for the final editing - this is almost the same as the original work, with a three-part structure.
.
The first part is a thirty-seven-minute one-shot-to-the-bottom movie;
The second paragraph explains the relationship between the characters and the emotional line between father and daughter, paving the way for the reversal;
The third section is when the filming officially begins, with constant crises, the crew sees the tricks, and unites as one. At the same time, the father and daughter work together to resolve the knot. Generally speaking, it echoes the first section, quickly pushing the plot to a climax and completing the reversal.
It should be no problem, the final effect will most likely be better than the original, and then we just have to wait and see if the audience buys it.
Qianyuan Rinto was thinking when Konoe Hitomi brought him a midnight snack and a sleeping bag, and said cheerfully: "Master, it's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow. You should also go to bed early!"
Qianyuan Rin didn't even raise his head: "I understand."
"Don't forget to send an email to say good night to Ningzi-sister." Hitomi Konoe warned uneasily: "If you are kicked out of home by Ningzi-sister, I will be embarrassed to live there."
Qianhara Rinto looked at her speechlessly, "Is there anything else you're embarrassed about?"
He waved his hand and said angrily: "I know this kind of thing well, so don't worry about it and go to sleep."
"Okay then!" Hitomi Konoe was just talking casually and didn't care. He turned to leave, but remembered something and turned back and asked: "By the way, Master, during today's filming, Miss Anton
How is your performance?"
There was no scene for her today. She stayed on the set and was guided by the senior sister. She didn't go to Murakami's house, so she could only ask Chihara Rinto.
Qianhara Rinto said casually: "It's okay, what's wrong?"
"Ah, is it just okay?"
"That's considered good, at least it conveys the attitude of looking down on my father." Qianhara Rinto explained, looked up a little strangely and asked: "Did she ask you to ask?"
During the day today, he grabbed Anton Mitsuae and talked about the whole day, trying to get her to recall her attitude towards her father when she was a rebellious youth. Now the suspicion scared the little clerk, but Konoe Hitomi shook her head: "No, Master
, it was Bai Mu-sang who gave me the opportunity to ask you."
"Shiroki?" Qianhara Rinto looked around subconsciously, even more strange, "Why is he asking this?"
Konoe Hitomi's face immediately became mysterious, and she stretched out her face and leaned into Chihara Rinto's ear, as if she wanted to sell him an infantry disc. Chihara Rinto was not polite, and stretched out his hand to give her a slap on the forehead: "We are the only two here.
, just tell me if you have anything to say.”
Konoe Hitomi rubbed her forehead and felt dissatisfied, and said aggrievedly: "Just say it tastes bad, Master! You really have no sentiment at all, and you don't even know how to gossip!"
Qianyuan Rinto stretched out his hand and wanted to give this sturdy second disciple another hit. Konoe Hitomi was afraid and quickly took a step back and shouted: "Okay, okay, I said it's not okay!" Then excitement appeared in her eyes.
Guang Guang lowered his voice and whispered: "Master, you may not believe it, but there is a high probability that Bai Musang and Miss Anton are having an affair."
Qianhara Rinto was surprised and recalled what Mitsuae Anton looked like. He was just an ordinary clerk, handsome in appearance, 22 or 23 years old. He felt nothing special. If it weren't for the lack of people to make independent films this time,
He didn't even know he had this subordinate.
He subconsciously said: "Don't talk nonsense, how is that possible!"
He really couldn't believe it. Sometimes when he wanted to find Keima Shiraki, he would send someone to look for him for a long time, but the guy would disappear at every turn. How could such a person fall in love? The guy went on a blind date, but the woman didn't go around after he went there.
If you find him, he will be a loser if you don't have a photo. Then Anton Guangzhi should not remember that he is the only one who makes sense.
Hitomi Konoe was doubted and was very dissatisfied. She was the king of gossip and knew the movements of everyone around her. She immediately assured her strongly: "It's true, Master. They just got together. Most of them are dating in private."
, I’ve seen it with my own eyes!”
"Have you seen it?"
"Yes, I was passing by at that time and saw Miss Anton talking to the vending machine. It was strange. After taking a closer look, I found that Shiraki-san was also there, holding hands with Miss Anton." Hitomi Konoe gritted his teeth.
Said: "There must be adultery between them!"
"So that's it..." Chihara Rinto was still in disbelief, but Konoe Hitomi basically didn't lie, and he was sure of his words, so he was a little shaken, and after a while he laughed dumbly: "I didn't expect this kid Shiraki to have such a skill.
Yes, I thought he was going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life!"
After a pause, he asked with concern: "I'm not familiar with Miss Anton. What's her character like?"
Hitomi Konoe scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I don't know, I'm not familiar with her either! I didn't know she was on the TV station until I got to the basement, and I haven't even spoken to her at all."
"Then use your free time to inquire about it secretly."
This kind of task is not difficult for Hitomi Konoe. It is easier than performing anyway, and it is also in her interest. She immediately responded excitedly: "Yes, Master."
…………
Chihara Rinto is a little concerned about this matter. After all, Shiraki Keima is also an old man who follows him. He has always been loyal and hardworking. Apart from often being unable to find people, there is no other big problem - if his old subordinate falls in love
, Chihara Rinto felt that it was necessary to understand and pay attention to it. After all, Tokyo is rich in money-worshiping women, and Shiraki is an innocent little virgin, so there are some things that must be guarded against.
Hitomi Konoe was also very helpful and came to report the next night: "Master, I have inquired clearly. Miss Anton is from Katashin Village, Tone County, Gunma County. She is 23 years old this year. Her birthday is August 9th. Her family has
Her parents and brother are both farming, mainly growing konjac, mushrooms and cucumbers. She came to Tokyo five years ago to attend university. After graduation, she joined apll Gikenkai and was then sent to our TV station as a clerk. Her current monthly salary is 172,000 yen.
, no subsidies or benefits, renting in..."
She had a pretty good memory, and she kept talking, which made Qianhara Rinto speechless.
I don’t care where she is from. I asked you to inquire about her character, not to find out her eighteenth generation ancestry! Also, how did you find out such detailed personal information? Are you in the wrong profession?
?If you become a private detective, you should be able to return home in fine clothes long ago, right?
He quickly stopped the idiot second disciple, "No need to say this, just tell me what kind of person she is."
Hitomi Konoe regretted not being able to finish her sentence, but she still answered honestly: "She has a good reputation. Everyone says she is simple and kind-hearted."
Qianhara Rinto was relieved and waved his hand: "That's fine. It's none of your business. Let's go back and study the script!"
Hitomi Konoe was thrown away like toilet paper after use. She was very dissatisfied and left muttering. She felt that gossiping was not enough. And this was just a small episode in the filming. Since it was a normal relationship, Chihara Rinto didn't care.
No more.
He didn't have much to do. He didn't even ask Keima Shiraki. The main reason was that he couldn't see him most of the time. He couldn't find anyone if he wanted to ask. It was also inconvenient to ask Anton Mitsuae directly. The two parties had no personal relationship at all, so that was all.
.
His main focus was still on promoting the filming of the film. He spent the next four days to successfully complete the remaining one and a half shooting, followed by a series of post-production work such as color grading, editing, and soundtrack. He also kept an eye on it, anyway.
There was nothing to do, so I just took Yoshizaki, Tsumura and others as an intern.
By the end of the week, Qian Yuan's "The Camera Can't Stop" was finally released. A total of 690,000 yen was spent on the production - most of the things and the venue were borrowed through favors, and the food was personally subsidized by Murakami Iori.
Everyone's salary has not been paid, and it suddenly looks cheaper than the original work.
Chihara Rinto immediately found Iori Murakami and watched it with her. After the screening was over, he asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Even though Iori Murakami had read the script, she still felt refreshed after watching the finished film. She turned around and stared at Chihara Rinto for a long time: "Very good, much better than I imagined. Chihara, you really never let me
I’m disappointed, I didn’t expect that you can still do this without actors and budget..."
She didn't know how to express herself. She hesitated and couldn't find the right words. Qianhara Rinto smiled and said, "Stop praising me. The main credit is not mine."
He didn't dare to use this film because it didn't have as good a market response as the original, but he did make some improvements and tried his best to hope that the audience would like it more.
Murakami Iori didn't say anything else, and he didn't pay attention to Chihara Rinto's words. He just thought that he was saying that the credit belongs to the team, and went back to watch the ending, feeling even more excited: "I will submit it for review immediately, and then let it be released like this!"
There is nothing sensitive about "The Camera Can't Stop". The review of this kind of movie is very fast and takes only a few days. However, independent small theaters do not have scheduling problems and are very free. Basically, they can be released immediately after the review is completed.
She somewhat believed that this film could really make money, but she dared not say more. A box office of 10 million should be no problem, at least it would solve part of the problem. Qianhara Rinto looked at the scene of the climax, that person being lifted high.
, the shaky camera nodded, and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you."
He also hopes that the audience will really like it, after all, he put his heart into it, but whether the audience will like it or not, of course, has to be decided by the audience.
Therefore, the release is the time to see the true story. I hope it will really gain a lot of reputation!
