After today's auditions were all over, Osamu Kinosaki asked everyone to stay and held a meeting. The judges of the five auditions kept the information of the actors they thought were suitable today and discussed it.
"Director Tsukikawa, which actor do you think is more suitable for this role?" Of course Osamu Kinosaki couldn't express his choice so quickly. Of course he wanted to listen to everyone's thoughts. The first person he named was
Tsukigawa Sho is one of the three directors of this TV series, and the director closest to him among them, who belongs to his faction.
Tsukikawa Sho has previously filmed films such as "The Escape" and "New and Past Story". He is a director who is good at shooting movies. He has few TV drama directors and lacks rich experience. He was able to join this crew this time because of his
Osamu Kinosaki's relationship.
The director will make many movies adapted from manga in the future, one after another. In 2018, he made a movie that Sakamichi fans are familiar with - "Hibiki~How to Become a Novelist~", starring
It tied with Yurina, but the box office was still a hit.
In 2019, Sho Tsukikawa directed the movie "You Shine in the Moonlight Night" adapted from the light novel, and there seemed to be signs of another hit.
Tsukikawa Sho adjusted his glasses, took out the information that had been laid out, and said: "I think Miura Shohei of the fire type is the most suitable. His age is just right and his acting skills are also very good. Especially the character image is perfect. In private
There are no bad elements.”
This is a typical lie told with open eyes. Ryosuke Fukuda couldn't help complaining in his heart. Miura's acting just now was at best mediocre, even inferior to some unknown young actors. It couldn't be called a good compliment.
But Fukuda Ryosuke did not refute, because he knew that the power was not in his hands. Tsukigawa Sho's speech was actually what Kinosaki Osamu wanted to express, and he could only continue to listen.
Osamu Kinosaki lightly clasped his fingers on the table, nodded, and then said to Ryosuke Fukuda: "Fukuda-san, who do you like?"
Ryosuke Fukuda cleared his throat, stood up, and said expressionlessly: "I think Kazuki Nishino from Horipro Agency is more suitable. I just watched his acting skills. It should be said that he is one of the best, and his understanding of the characters is also very deep."
.”
"But after all, he is just a newcomer and his reputation is not very good. Aren't Fukuda-san afraid of dragging down the show?" Tsukikawa Sho retorted impatiently.
"But after such a long time, the audience may have forgotten it. Besides, I have met Nishino and he has a good personality and is very polite." Ryosuke Fukuda said.
Tsukikawa Xiang showed a sarcastic smile, and then said: "Fukuda-san admires him so much, I'm afraid it's not personal reasons, right?"
"You!!" Ryosuke Fukuda felt angry in his heart.
"Okay, you two, stop talking." Osamu Kinosaki interrupted the two people who were about to quarrel. He didn't panic at all and was very calm.
"Others should also share their opinions." In fact, ordinary directors will not argue over the selection of actors. Anyway, there is more than one director of a Japanese drama, and there is no need for one person to take the blame for low ratings.
Of course, Ryosuke Fukuda wanted to use people he liked. The few episodes he filmed were mainly about the emotional scenes between the heroine and the lead actor. The effect of using an actor with excellent acting skills is very different from that of an actor with mediocre acting skills. But for this, he had to offend the production.
No one, not even the top management of Toho, would do such a stupid thing.
If it was Osamu Kinosaki who raised the opinion just now and not Sho Tsukikawa, then he would definitely not refute it. He would fight for it appropriately in order to gain more rights in the future filming. This anger was just a show.
The other people were all old-timers, so how could they not understand what Kinosaki Osamu meant. Most of them agreed with his opinions. Some even mentioned a marginal character who would not be admitted. Neither party would be offended.
Osamu Kinosaki is very satisfied with his influence, but he still has to work hard on the surface. As a producer, although he is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, he still has to let go of some rights, such as those who are not
For important supporting roles, etc., the right to select these roles is given to other people in the crew, such as directors or screenwriters. After all, everyone has personal interactions.
"Then let's leave it at that for today. Let's go back and make a summary. Tomorrow we will confirm the official list and send notices to each office." Osamu Kinosaki summed it up and then announced the disbandment.
Fukuda Ryosuke shook his head. The matter has basically been settled here. There is nothing he can do if the actor he thinks is suitable cannot participate. He knows that Nishino Kazuki's agency also attaches great importance to his audition this time. Affairs
We have also communicated with Toho, but it seems to have failed now.
Ryosuke Fukuda has worked in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of transactions. The entertainment industry is a closed and dark circle, and everyone who enters must abide by its unspoken rules.
He has seen some unknown actresses sleeping with producers, directors and even screenwriters for a role, and he has also seen privately hinted power and money transactions. Everyone who has joined the entertainment industry may understand these, but it is impossible to tell them.
Ryosuke Fukuda didn't know what Osamu Kinosaki had gotten, but it must be something that could impress him. Fukuda wouldn't take the initiative to ask about it. Although it was a pity, he just had to do his job well. This was also his rule of survival in the entertainment industry.
After Ryosuke Fukuda returned, he made a phone call to Nobu Murakami, hinting that Kazuki Nishino had not been chosen for the role, but he affirmed Nishino's acting skills and said that they would have the opportunity to work together next time.
After hearing this, Murakami Nobu also expressed his understanding that it was normal to lose the election. Perhaps it would be better for Nishino to continue starring in stage plays and wait for the opportunity.
Nishino Kazuki received a call from Murakami Nobu in the restaurant. Murakami Nobu told him that he was not chosen this time and so on, and also said that he would continue to help him pay attention to other resources.
He felt quite calm but also quite depressed. He had done well enough, but not everything was fair.
The first time he traveled to this world, he felt a little frustrated, but he was not someone who gave up easily. If everything went smoothly according to plan, then who would bother working hard?
.......
After the meeting, Osamu Kinosaki came to the headquarters building of Toho Corporation. He wanted to report today's casting matters to his uncle, Yutaka Aida. Although he knew that he would not care about this matter, at least he
The gesture needs to be made.
When I came to the office, I knocked on the door and entered, only to find my uncle sitting on the sofa chatting with a middle-aged woman.
After seeing Osamu Kinosaki come in, Yutaka Aidauchi called him forward.
"You're here just in time. This is Rumi-san Kato. She will also be the producer of "Please Fall in Love with the Good-for-Nothing Me"."
After hearing Yutaka Aida's introduction, Osamu Kinosaki was shocked and looked at his uncle with doubtful eyes, who nodded slightly towards him.
"Kato-san, I'm Osamu Kinosaki, please take care of me." Osamu Kinosaki said hello even though he was confused, but his face looked a little ugly.
"Please take care of me, Kinosaki-san. If you need anything from the crew, please let me know." The woman's posture was very low and her tone was very soft.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Kato Rumi took her leave in the name of work.
After she left, Osamu Kinosaki couldn't wait to ask the question: "Uncle, didn't you say that apart from me, only people from TBS TV station would be the producers? What happens now?"
"She was personally arranged by the president in the afternoon. I don't know why the president would ask about this matter." Yutaka Aida could only comfort him, "But it doesn't matter, you are still the main producer, and the relationship is all with you.
side."
Kinosaki Osamu nodded and had no choice but to give up.
