249 The water lotus and the shyness of the cool breeze(1/2)

"Saeko-chan, have you heard? "Ryuuzakura" will be broadcast tonight." Yui Aragaki was chatting with Saeko at this time.

The current Yui Aragaki is not as good-looking as later generations. Many Japanese drama lovers joke that the period of "Dragon Sakura" was the peak of Masami Nagasawa's appearance, and it was also the lowest point of Yui Aragaki's appearance. Some fans of Yui Aragaki even took it seriously.

Yui Aragaki's biggest wish in this life is to make the TV series "Ryuuzakura" disappear forever.

At present, Yui Aragaki still has a "local flavor" from Okinawa. In addition, her skin color has not yet turned white and there is no dedicated makeup artist to design makeup for her. Therefore, Yui Aragaki's appearance in "Ryuuzakura"

The image once made people think that she had offended the makeup artist. However, as a producer, Junxiu Lin said that the makeup artist really did not treat Aragaki Yui differently. After all, Japanese makeup is about "transparency" and "elegantness", but

This places very high demands on celebrities’ skin quality and complexion.

And it's not that Yui Aragaki's dark skin is not good-looking enough. Her predecessor, Namie Amuro, relied on this "sunburned skin" to create the so-called "Shibuya style beauties" trend, and it also once influenced "fashion guru"

"Aesthetics of Ayumi Hamasaki. However, whether it is Namie Amuro's "sun-burned skin" or Ayumi Hamasaki's "wheat complexion", there is a dedicated design team to do their overall styling to ensure that oriental girls can control it.

So dark is the skin color.

With Yui Aragaki's current status as a celebrity, it is naturally impossible for her to enjoy the treatment of a dedicated styling team, so Yui Aragaki's style in the drama is really like a "foot-washing maid".

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing my performance on the TV screen." Saeko said excitedly.

As the daughter of a political family, Saeko knows that her free time is just this period. In a few years, her family will ask her to retire from the entertainment industry, then start various blind dates, and finally marry another person.

A man from a political family has lived a life of caring for his husband and raising his children. Although this kind of life seems happy and beautiful to some people, Saeko does not want to live such a "withered" life.

But being able to fight for this period of freedom is the maximum tolerance of my parents. After all, my parents have also endured the pressure of the family. For a girl like herself who shows her face on TV, the top political family will definitely look down on her.

of.

Of course, my own behavior of devaluing myself has caused dissatisfaction in the family, but my parents have shouldered the burden for me, so I will definitely not be willful in the future. Being able to leave such a beautiful memorial to my youthful years, Sha

Rongzi also felt that he was not at a loss.

While Aragaki Yui and Saeko were chatting, Nagasawa Masami had just accepted an interview with local media in Tokyo. Japan’s publishing industry is extremely developed, and even in the 2010s, major newspapers are still alive and well.

As the most populous metropolitan area in Japan, the newspaper industry in Tokyo is also very developed. Whether it is a national newspaper, a regional newspaper or a local newspaper, there are so many head offices or core branches in Tokyo that only the governor of Tokyo knows about it.

Isn't it? It's no wonder that so many regional idols who are doing well in the local area still want to go to Beijing no matter how hard they work, just to get the exposure in Tokyo, which is something that local idols cannot enjoy.

The newspaper that came to interview Masami Nagasawa this time was invited by Toho Company. Although it is not a big newspaper, it can still guarantee the exposure of Masami Nagasawa. For the work "Dragon Sakura", not only TBS TV station is highly looking forward to it,

The same is true for Toho. In addition to looking forward to the movie version, Toho also looks forward to Nagasawa Masami being able to confirm her status as "the first actress of the new generation" with this TV series. The little princesses and little princesses that Toho cultivates every year

There are so many reserve members, but how many can actually rise to become "Princess Toho"?

After sending away the interviewing media reporters with a smile, Nagasawa Masami came to Aragaki Yui and Saeko.

"Are you discussing the TV series "Dragon Sakura"?" Although Masami Nagasawa's status as a celebrity is not a big deal in the crew, she is the "Little Princess of Toho", so the treatment she enjoys is super high-end.

Aragaki Yui and Saeko are not fools. Of course they can see the difference between them and themselves, so they will not get in trouble with each other. However, Nagasawa Masami treats them pretty well and always brings snacks.

Come find them. Girls' friendship is actually very simple sometimes. They become "good sisters" while chatting while eating snacks.

"Yes, after all, this is the first time that I have my own role in a prime-time Japanese drama." Yui Aragaki nodded.

Having a title means that relevant promotional materials will definitely have your own photos and names, and some less important promotions will even center on you. For Yui Aragaki, who is still hanging around as an actor, this is very

What a precious resource.

"It would be great if this show became a hit."

As a prime-time Japanese drama, "Dragon Sakura" will definitely be simulcast on the TBS TV network. Once the ratings of this drama rise, in order to pursue the victory, the TV station will definitely arrange for the crew to travel all over Japan to promote it. Because as a simulcast TV series, in addition to

In addition to the important ratings of the core station TBS TV and the sub-core station Yomiuri TV, the franchised local stations in various places are also very important for the ratings. If you go around various places and appear on news programs or talk shows from various places, you will naturally

My national status has improved.

Do you really think that a national heavenly group like SMAP is in vain? When you are promoting all over Japan, you don’t even have time to sleep for several days. If you want the uncles and aunties living in the countryside to know you, you have to

Just go to people to promote it. If the TV station wasn't such a generous person, Aragaki Yui's agency would definitely not be willing to pay for it.

"Should we go to the film crew later?" Masami Nagasawa suddenly said.

"Okay." Yui Aragaki agreed, and then saw Masami Nagasawa leaving with an excuse.

After Masami Nagasawa left, Saeko said coldly: "You really think we don't know why she came to us? Didn't she just fall in love with the director, Mr. Lin? I'm embarrassed to go to the film crew so often.

, so he took us to watch together. Yui-chan, that is, you have a good temper, and you have protected her over and over again. If it were me, I would just find an opportunity to make her look ugly!"

"Saeko-chan, since they have this idea, there is nothing to lose if we help. Besides, the acting skills of the seniors on the film crew are really much better than ours, so we should just go and observe their acting skills."

Aragaki Yui chuckled.

She is indeed a girl from the countryside of Okinawa, but Yui Aragaki does not think that she is a silly, sweet girl. Since she has entered the entertainment industry, she naturally understands all the explicit and implicit rules in the entertainment industry.

Actresses falling in love with male directors or screenwriters are simply the most common love story pairings in the entertainment industry. Like "dentsu men", directors and screenwriters are also long-term meal tickets for actresses. What's more, Mr. Lin is still

Being a Johnny's idol, his lethality to female artists is doubled. Not to mention Masami Nagasawa, she herself is a little moved.

However, Aragaki Yui is very aware of her status. Let alone falling in love with Teacher Lin, she is afraid that if her agency wants to provide Teacher Lin with a female artist, it will not be her turn, right? Now that she has recognized the facts, Yui Aragaki

No more fantasies. With a little help, you can gain the "friendship" of a female artist whom Toho favors, and at the same time, you can take the opportunity to observe the acting skills of a powerful senior. After all, this is a cost-effective deal, right?

"Well, filming is so boring, so it would be a good idea for us to visit next door! Besides, the treatment there is really good!"

Hearing Aragaki Yui's little girl tone, Saeko had no choice but to let her go.

"You really love eating, don't you? Movie actors have a higher status than us TV actors, so it's natural that they are treated well." Saeko also said with some emotion, "Our TV series crew is just a bouquet of flowers when they finish filming.

That’s all, the movie crew has a large bouquet of flowers and a fruit juice candy from Rong Tailou.”

"I really hope we can also have juice candies from Eitalou!" Yui Aragaki said with a look of longing.

Eitaro's main store in Tokyo is a century-old store, and its specialty plum candy is even called "Eitaro candy". However, as time goes by, the traditional plum candy is not accepted by young people.

So they developed flavors such as matcha sugar, black tea sugar and brown sugar. The most popular one now is naturally their "fruit juice sugar", which is said to incorporate pure natural fruit sweetness and has been well received by women.

After a while, Masami Nagasawa cleaned up and took Yui Aragaki and Saeko to visit the movie crew next door. Masami Nagasawa is not the kind of girl who is ignorant. Since it is a visiting team, there must be a visiting team.

According to the rules, it is still possible to buy coffee for the crew. Although the film crew is a little dissatisfied with Nagasawa Masami's frequent visits to the crew, for the sake of Toho Company and Starbucks Coffee, they will treat it as if it does not exist.

.

At this time, Lin Junxiu was discussing the shooting details of the next scene with the photographer. Lin Junxiu was the "general director" on the TV series crew. He was only responsible for reviewing the shooting progress and success of the three directors, and did not participate in the actual shooting;

On the film crew side, they fully exercised their directorial responsibilities. Lin Junxiu's "tonal narrative method" in "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" was well received by Japanese film critics, so Lin Junxiu was very close to the color tone of the shots when filming subsequent works.

obsessed.

Not only will he experiment with various lighting methods and lens filters, he will also conduct various experiments on camera models, film types and models. This seemingly unprofessional shooting technique is regarded as "craftsman spirit" within the crew.

The photographer and lighting engineer were willing to accompany Lin Junxiu, and even the actors did not mind repeating the filming. In their view, for an exquisite art film, no matter how much money is wasted, it is worth it.

"Great! This is the color I want." Lin Junxiu finally nodded and approved the shooting content.

Hearing Junxiu Lin's words, everyone applauded proudly. The photographer specially showed everyone what he had just taken. Sure enough, after shooting according to Lin Junxiu's tone, the story levels in the shot suddenly became richer.

stand up.

Even Odagiri Joe nodded with conviction. Originally he was a little dissatisfied with being the second cast member. But after joining the team, he discovered that Lin Junxiu was not only talented in screenwriting, but also impeccable in acting and directing.

You must know that in Japan, the training models for actors and idols are two different processes.

Cultivating idols is very simple. Just send photos of yourself to the agencies. If your appearance is qualified, you will be recruited as a trainee. Then you will be continuously trained and eliminated, and then you can debut at the right time. It can be said that Japanese idols

Industries are already standardized.

But this is not the case for actors. Except for those from an acting family, it is very difficult for ordinary people to enter the acting profession. Not only do Japanese schools have semi-formal drama clubs, but there are also training institutions at all levels in society from child stars to actors.

There are large and small theater troupes that can give people the opportunity to actually act. But if you want to switch from an amateur actor to a professional actor, it is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

The first way is that the drama club you join wins a certain drama award, and then you become an amateur actor that everyone pays attention to, and then you get the opportunity to officially star in movies and TV series; the second way is that when the crew is selecting actors, you win.

The grand prize was noticed by the casting director, and then he joined the crew and made his debut, starting on the road to stardom as a professional actor.

Japanese actors become famous relatively late, so they may have joined the drama club since middle school, and after graduating from college, they may still hone their acting skills in the theater troupe until one day they sharpen their swords. Even if they are child actors, they may have started in the third grade.

He began to hone his acting skills at the age of four. There are even some child actor training institutions that do not let go of babies who are just one month old. After all, those baby products require these babies to shoot, so they really start training not long after they are born.

After staying in the crew for such a period of time, Odagiri Joe put away his pride. When you meet people who are weaker than yourself, showing pride may be a little bit interesting. But when you meet people who are stronger than yourself, especially those who are so much better

, no matter how proud you are, you will look stupid. Unknowingly, Odagiri changed the name of Lin Junxiu from "Lin Jun" to "Lin Sang", until now he is "Teacher Lin".

"Teacher Lin, this is the coffee I brought you. It is your favorite hazelnut latte. You have worked hard just now, please drink a cup of coffee to relieve your fatigue!" Nagasawa Masami handed a cup of hot coffee to her at this time.

Go to Lin Junxiu and say, "Teacher, please drink!"

"Oh, it's Yami-chan! I really need to trouble you with your coffee." Lin Junxiu took the coffee and took a sip.

"No trouble!" Masami Nagasawa waved her hands exaggeratedly like a Japanese high school girl. "After all, I can only help Teacher Lin a little in this regard. If Teacher Lin likes to drink, I will bring it to Teacher Lin tomorrow."

.” After saying that, Nagasawa Masami left.

"Well, Junxiu-chan, you have provoked another peach blossom." Yuko Takeuchi said jokingly next to Junxiu Lin. Since becoming close to Junxiu Lin in private, Yuko Takeuchi also began to call Junxiu Lin by his nickname. "Yami"

Junxiu-chan is a very young girl, and she has Dongho’s power behind her, so no matter what, Junxiu-chan will not suffer any loss.”

"Don't be ridiculous, just because she is Dongbao's little princess, so I don't want to have too much contact with her." Lin Junxiu replied calmly.

What are all the little princesses in Toho used for? They are not used for marriages with Toho. Japanese film companies don’t covet an all-round talent like Lin Junxiu who can write, direct and act?

Speaking of Toho, Toei, Shochiku, Kadokawa and other companies are all trying to find ways to insert women around Lin Junxiu. Some even arrange boys because they don’t dare to confirm Lin Junxiu’s orientation!

Lin Junxiu couldn't laugh or cry at this kind of temptation. If he likes boys, he might as well solve it directly within Johnny's. Akanishi Jin, Kamenashi Kazuya, Yamashita Tomohisa, which one's appearance can't crush Japanese boys?
