483 These boys
Compared with Johnny & Associates, Stardust Communications is a well-established agency after all, so it still has a lot of properties in Tokyo. When Junxiu Lin was still Jr., he would either borrow the rehearsal rooms of various TV stations or go to Johnny's for rehearsals.
The basement of the agency headquarters. Even the venue for Jr.'s meeting with fans was a stage set up in the corner of the parking lot. It was really bleak.
However, the rehearsal space provided by Stardust Media to EBiDAN this time has very clear windows. It not only has a spacious and large rehearsal room, but also an attached lounge. Even Lin Junxiu is envious that there is actually a toilet for the trainees.
You must know that Japan's water resources are relatively scarce, so let alone trainees in the entertainment industry, even many public high schools do not arrange bathrooms for sports clubs. Many boys use sports rooms after exercising in school.
Change out of clothes, then wear school uniforms or regular clothes before going home to take a shower and wash clothes. Therefore, the smell in the boys club office is really...
This is naturally the case in the rehearsal room, not only for boys, but also for girls. Do you really think that girls' sweat is "smelling"? It is just the scent of girls' cosmetics. After the scent passes, men
The smell of urea, lactic acid, fatty acids and other substances in women's sweat is engraved in your memory. So for trainees, it is a very nice thing to have a place to take a hot bath after a hearty training.
Moreover, it is said that many parents who accompanied their children to visit were satisfied with the facilities of lounges and bathrooms. After all, these facilities also show the financial resources of the training institution, which ensures that this is not some weird agency. Don’t think that Japan’s
Children are safe. There are many unscrupulous agencies in Japan who use contracts to deceive parents and let their children shoot some "soft core" videos. There is nothing wrong with the entire video legally, but at first glance it does not look like a serious video.
.So with the development of Japanese society, Japanese parents have also learned to be smarter.
"Actually, these children have just been assembled. If they want to star in a TV series now, they are still a little overwhelmed." EBiDAN's supervising teacher said to Lin Junxiu responsibly.
In fact, it would be after 2015 that EBiDAN would really make a mark. Almost all of the more famous child stars or young actors in Japan at that time were from EBiDAN. And between 2011 and 2014, almost all the EBiDAN produced were teenage singing and dancing groups.
, but in the end, the only two groups that persisted until the end of the Heisei era were the earliest groups Super Limited Express and DISH. The subsequent groups such as M!LK either disbanded or merged into other groups.
Even so, Lin Junxiu still saw the kid Yokohama Ryusei. Yokohama Ryusei was probably the best actor trained by EBiDAN before Lin Junxiu came over. He was almost in full bloom, so Yokohama Ryusei soon became popular.
He was transferred from Stardust Communication Interactive Company to the headquarters of Stardust Communication Company by Stardust Communication and became an artist of Artist 3. Obviously, this child's potential was noticed by the company, and naturally he would not be allowed to continue in the trainee team of EBiDAN.
Time has been wasted here.
"Teacher, don't worry. I think everyone's acting skills are passable." Lin Junxiu said with a smile.
Lin Junxiu's words are naturally not lying. The quality of his acting skills also depends on the reference. Of course, it is completely impossible to act in those in-depth TV series at EBiDAN's current level, even if it requires some life experience to challenge workplace dramas.
The TV series are basically looking for death, but if you put them in the field of idol dramas and school dramas, they are still qualified. What do you watch in school dramas and idol dramas? Most people still look at their appearance.
Stardust Communication already has its own channel for selecting actors, and with the addition of Junxiu Lin and Yasushi Akimoto, two big producers who run idols, the quality of EBiDAN’s students is definitely the first in Japan. Sunny type, melancholy type
There are all kinds of beauties, including naughty dogs, wolf-dogs, etc., so Lin Junxiu is not worried that the school idol drama they are participating in will not have the support of girls. The rest is the plot, not too many dialogues, and not too much.
How profound the plot is, as long as the actor keeps acting cool. In the end, it depends on the lighting and editing skills. This is how a generation of fresh male actors was born.
"However, there are many parts in this TV series that require singing, so the actors participating must at least pass the singing skills."
"Does Director Lin plan to make a musical?" the supervisor asked curiously. "This type of TV series is rare in Japan." There are TV series or movies with chorus themes in Japan, but they are basically just a few rehearsal scenes, and then
It's just a bit of singing during the finals. And if a Japanese version of "GLEE" were to be filmed, at least half of that TV episode would be spent singing.
"It is true that TV dramas with singing and dancing themes are relatively rare in Japan, but they do not have no audience. And I am not targeting serious music. The episodes in the drama are basically based on popular pop songs." Lin Junxiu said. "And apart from the choir,
In addition to the setting, elements such as cheerleaders and honor guards will also be incorporated."
Japan's middle school sports clubs are really full of weird things, and many obscure sports categories have special national competitions. Events like gun kendo and razor are okay, after all, they belong to Japanese traditional culture, and it makes sense for the government to specifically support them. But like
It is estimated that few Chinese people know about cheerleading, cheerleading, and baton dancing. However, these are closely related to the popular American campus cheerleading and honor guard, and as a "dad, what do I have?"
Japan, a country with “what to study”, naturally inherited these hobbies.
Although these sports events are not popular in Japan, they are still very good as a curiosity. After all, they are still very beautiful to watch. If you include the wind music club and light music club and other elements, Lin Junxiu's magically modified version of "Malu Suga"
"Gakuen" is actually more like a hodgepodge of various music-related clubs in Japanese campuses, rather than pure "GLEE".
"We already have two groups in preparation for their debut, and they should probably make arrangements for their debut next year." The supervisor happily recommended.
For this kind of group that is about to debut, if there is a good TV series before and after the debut, then the debut will definitely be much smoother.
"One is a more traditional singing and dancing group called Super Express; the other is a rock band called DISH. Although Super Express is a relatively kingly male idol singing and dancing group, we are very satisfied with the singing skills of both VOCE members.
There are strict requirements. Especially for the VOCAL group, you can sing a cappella. Although DISH is a rock band, it is definitely not heavy metal that is too unpopular, but relatively mainstream pop rock and folk rock."
So Lin Junxiu asked these two groups to audition in front of him. The average age of these two groups is about 15 years old, which is considered high school students. Although boys mature later than girls, they basically have some adult consciousness by the high school stage.
Choosing the entertainment industry means that it is more difficult than others. After all, compared to other industries in Japan, the Japanese entertainment industry is very "involved". And from ordinary contacts to capable
Forming a group and becoming debut reserves, these boys have already taken a path that many adults dare not take.
Perhaps to differentiate it from Johnny's idols, EBiDAN's style tends to be Korean. But that's okay, after all, the next few years will be when the Korean Wave is gaining momentum and is about to sweep the world, and the Japanese entertainment industry will not be closed no matter how closed it is.
It can withstand the invasion of the Korean Wave, not to mention that it is also fueled by the Korean Wave channel Fuji TV. After watching the performances of the two groups, Lin Junxiu selected a few more performance questions for them to try.
"Basically, it meets the requirements." Lin Junxiu nodded and said.
Hearing Lin Junxiu say this, several boys had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"If you have no problem, you can sign and join the group. But before joining the group, I have a few words to tell you, that is, I will be very strict when filming. Even if you are boys, you may be disciplined by me.
Cry, but I will not relax my demands on you just because you cry. Therefore, after joining the set, please show your full energy to meet my acting requirements. Either you will leave the set with a smile, or you will be beaten by me while crying.
Get kicked out of the crew."
When Lin Junxiu said this, the boys who originally felt a little relaxed immediately became alert. Yes, they did get film and television resources from the best director in Japan, but at the same time, this is also the most stringent film and television resource in Japan.
Several boys immediately assured Lin Junxiu that they would definitely complete the requirements in accordance with quality and quantity.
After sending the two groups away, Lin Junxiu selected several actors from the trainees, and finally he found Yokohama Ryusei. Although Yokohama Ryusei is still a junior high school student, he already has the appearance of a Japanese idol between his eyebrows and eyes.
Regarding Yokohama Meteor, Lin Junxiu actually has some regrets. It is because his temperament is too close to Johnny's idol. Even though Stardust Media emphasizes that he is an artist and not an idol, he is still suppressed by Johnny's.
With Yokohama Ryusei's appearance, singing skills and acting skills, if he were placed in Johnny's Agency, he would most likely be trained according to Yamashita Tomohisa's model. But because he does not belong to Johnny's, many idol dramas and pure love dramas will not be able to take part in it.
For him, he can only accumulate popularity in tokusatsu dramas. But since he is in his own hands in this life, Lin Junxiu must have many ways to make him famous. But the premise is that he cannot transfer to Stardust Communication. This
Lin Junxiu will definitely not do anything like making wedding clothes for others, so there are many restrictions in the contract.
"I have a TV series, how about you come and be a regular star?" Lin Junxiu asked with a smile.
TV dramas are generally group dramas, so regular appearances are actually equivalent to starring in a group. When the supervisor heard that Lin Junxiu was willing to spend resources on Yokohama Ryusei, he quickly hinted that Yokohama Ryusei would agree. And Yokohama Ryusei had also been baptized in the entertainment industry for a period of time.
Of course, I understood that this opportunity was rare, so I quickly agreed.
"Then you come directly to see me here tomorrow. I have some special instructions for you." Lin Junxiu left an address for Yokohama Meteor, then said goodbye to the supervisor and left the EBiDAN training ground.
"You're lucky!" the supervising teacher said to Yokohama Ryusei who was still in a daze after watching Lin Junxiu leave.
"You have to know that Director Lin has not cultivated any male artists in recent years. The last time he was favored was Lin Qiandu. Look at his status now. You are even more exaggerated than Lin Qiandu. Director Lin is
I will completely train you by my side. In the past, you would have been treated like a closed disciple! Okay, don't be in a daze here, remember to report to Director Lin on time tomorrow."
The actors have been selected, the script outline and the scripts of the previous episodes have been determined. The rest is to prepare the crew and instruct the writing team to come up with the script for the entire season. Since this drama requires a large number of episodes, copyright authorization is also a problem. Fortunately,
Chapter completed!
