The first filming of the TV series "Third Years Class A" was scheduled for March 7. Before filming, the actors who had the main lines in the first episode were invited to a large conference room specially prepared for the filming to hold a script reading meeting.
This is also a common method used by TV dramas to make actors perform better.
Shiori Kubo was sitting upright at the moment. She was sitting in the middle of the rectangular table, facing the producer and leading actor Kazuki Nishino, and on both sides were her first-generation seniors.
It can be said that she is very familiar with the content of the script. She has carefully considered every line and practiced it alone in the dormitory. She thought she would be able to perform well after becoming familiar with it, but she was already nervous during the script reading.
No more.
Because this play is mainly about group scenes, it is impossible for actors from all classes to enter the conference room together, so Kazuki Nishino asked several actors who have major roles to come.
"Okay, if everyone is here, let's get started." Kazuki Nishino is a screenwriter, so naturally he pays more attention to reading. He wants to better see how these characters control the characters, and often draws inspiration from their lines.
You can get a glimpse of it.
Everyone quieted down.
There are not many creative staff in the conference room today. The director of the first episode is Keita Goto, the planner Kaito Kosaka, and the assistant Takuya Suzuki.
"Director Goto, you will be the host." Kazuki Nishino nodded to the director Keita Goto next to him.
"OK."
Director Keita Goto first opened the script of the first episode by himself, then coughed slightly and said: "The shooting of the first episode was mainly about introducing the characters, and the lines were scattered. The most difficult ones were probably Takeuchi-san and Nishino-san.
The conflicting scenes, the rest is the background that leads to the story.”
Kubo Shiori listened carefully, and this time she didn't dare to think too much.
"The main actor, Nishino-san, has more lines and is the most challenging." Director Kei Goto said, "But I'm not worried. After all, Nishino-san's strength is obvious to all. If he can't do it, no one can."
Everyone present chuckled, which relieved the serious atmosphere.
"Okay, no more words, let's officially start this script reading."
The first is Nishino Kazuki’s lines. There is no need to recite those bits and pieces. They are mainly needed for the rivalry with the main character.
Nishino Kazuki was already familiar with it when he acted in other TV series. He just spread out the script and said that it would be ready from a certain paragraph. He did not need to read the script during the whole process, the lines were already in his mind.
Kubo Shiori also wanted to observe and familiarize herself with the process, but she didn't expect that the scene that Nishino Kazuki was going to read aloud was actually a scene with herself, which made her feel suddenly tightened.
When she turned to the page specified in the script, her hand involuntarily clenched the paper. Nishino Nanase, who was sitting next to her, seemed to observe her emotions. He reached out from under the table, patted her knee gently, and said with a slight
The voice said, "Don't be nervous."
Kubo Shiori nodded subconsciously, took a deep breath, and smiled.
Although Shiori Kubo was well prepared, since it was his first time appearing in a TV series, his control of lines was still a bit stiff, but fortunately he was still full of emotions.
After Kubo, it was time for the other actors. Everyone would read out lines about their own characters. When it was the turn of Takeuchi Ryoma and Fukuhara Haruka, everyone could clearly hear the difference from the other idols. It was hard to tell, but there was still a gap.
Of course, Nishino Kazuki also understands this gap. After all, there is a lot of difference in experience, and not everyone is as naturally capable as him.
"Nanase-chan is good, she has a lot of sense." Nishino Kazuki praised.
Nishino Nanase lowered his head in embarrassment.
Praising him in person... is really embarrassing.
After all, he has starred in a TV series and Nishino Kazuki has also been trained. Of course, his skills cannot be the same as others.
Mai Shiraishi looked at Nishino Kazuki and hummed in her heart.
"Shiraishi is pretty good, and so are the others." Of course Kazuki Nishino can't beat them at this time, confidence is also very important when acting.
As a screenwriter, Kazuki Nishino is also qualified to say this.
The reading session lasted until about 11 o'clock at noon. After lunch, I tidied up and went directly to the school where the main filming location was for filming in the afternoon.
The school used for filming has also been decorated, and other extras will arrive on time.
After the end, the actors left the conference room. Kazuki Nishino stayed for a while to discuss planning with the director, and then went out.
I wanted to go back to my lounge and asked Takuya Suzuki to bring me a lunch box, but I didn't expect to see Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino waving to him, as if they were waiting for him.
Nishino Kazuki walked over. Now that the two parties have a cooperative relationship, it doesn't matter even if others see it. Besides, this is the crew's own place.
"Are you two waiting for me?"
"Yes, I have something to say to you." Shiraishi Mai was the first to speak. She glanced at Nishino Kazuki and then immediately looked at Nishino Nanase, as if she wanted her to speak.
"Kazuki-kun~"
Nishino Nanase just shouted softly.
"Let's talk somewhere quieter."
The two nodded.
Nishino Kazuki was like this, followed by Mai Shiraishi and Nishino Nanase, who were holding hands, and the three of them entered the office of producer Kazuki Nishino.
The space inside is not very big, and there are some information about TV series spread out on the table.
Nishino Kazuki tidied up a little and pointed to the sofa: "Sit."
The two sat down next to each other.
"Have you had lunch?"
"I just had my lunch."
Nishino Kazuki looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Why are you so serious? You haven't been in close contact for a while and you are not used to it?"
"What are you talking about!" Mai Shiraishi stood up, "We have something to tell you."
"Yeah." The pigeon on the side nodded, his smile turning serious.
"What's the matter? I'm listening."
Shiraishi Mai approached Nishino Kazuki, glanced at the closed door, and said, "Of course it's Ikuta-chan's business. Are you two really ready to ignore each other?"
Nishino Nanase also stood up and paid attention.
"No way, it's just that she ignored me unilaterally. I was too busy during this period, so I just left like this." Nishino spread his hands with Shu and explained.
"You have to take the initiative! What can a boy do if he doesn't take the initiative!" Mai Shiraishi said.
"I know, I'm not busy." Nishino Kazuki actually felt a little awkward and didn't tell the truth.
"You can't do this if you're busy. Ikuta-chan actually misses you very much."
The main interlocutors here are Shiraishi Mai and Nishino Kazuki. Nishino Nanase seems to be just a small robot who is nodded in agreement by Shiraishi to recruit people.
"She just wants to get more attention from you. She is usually cheerful and optimistic, but she also has her own emotions. You can't treat her like this just because her personality is good for you."
For the first time, Nishino Kazuki felt that Shiraishi Mai had the demeanor of a harem master.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared."
"!" Mai Shiraishi thought he was perfunctory, so she walked over and pinched his arm.
Nishino Kazuki cried out in pain, and immediately pulled her into his arms and whispered something into her ear.
Then Shiraishi Mai relaxed her frown.
"You have some conscience."
Nishino Nanase felt a little sour when he saw the two interacting, but then he was pulled over by Nishino Kazuki. He hugged their slender waists with both hands.
"It's been a long time since I hugged my babies."
"Let go, what should I do if someone comes?!" Mai Shiraishi was embarrassed.
Nishino Nanase gave his hand a few symbolic pushes and let him hold her.
Nishino Kazuki leaned over and kissed them twice on the cheeks. Just as he was about to be intimate for a while, there was a knock on the office door.
