"Miyano-sensei's works are still as good as ever."

Arima Keixiang was sitting in the dressing room, letting the makeup artist fix her makeup and hair while flipping through the magazine in front of her.

Mika Miyano is the current best-selling mystery queen in Japan, and her works are very famous in the broadcast and film circles. She is the writer with the most film and television adaptations among contemporary Japanese writers.

Katsura Arima once played the second female lead in Mika Miyano's work. She is a fan of Mika Miyano and would like to have the opportunity to work together again.

Mika Miyano is currently serializing her new novel in "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation", and Keika Arima will naturally follow suit.

Arima Keixiang was watching, and her agent was holding another magazine and reading it.

Arima Guixiang glanced at the book in the agent's hand. It seemed that there was also the word "Spring and Autumn" in it, and asked doubtfully: "Which issue do you have this in? I don't think I have read it."

"It's from this month. Oh, it's not the Spring and Autumn Literary Appreciation. It's the supplement to the Spring and Autumn Literary Appreciation, Qiankun Chunqiu."

The agent showed the complete title to Katsura Arima.

"Oh..." Arima Guixiang was not interested in the supplement and continued to flip through the magazine, intending to read the works written by other people in the magazine.

"Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" is a very important novel journal, ranking among the top three novel journals.

Different from comic periodicals, the weekly comics magazine with the highest sales volume is "Weekly Shonen Jumping" which has a much higher sales volume than the second and third place. However, the sales volume of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" and the other two periodicals are often about the same.

.

As an actor, of course, she must always pay attention to what kind of stories the audience readers like, which affects her choice of scripts. Moreover, many works in "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" have been adapted into film and television, and several

The film has also won the Japanese Academy Award for Broadcasting, which deserves more attention.

The agent's mobile phone suddenly rang. She answered the call and after saying "hello" twice, her tone suddenly rose: "What did you say? Okay, okay..."

Arima Keixiang put down the magazine, looked at the agent and asked: "What happened?"

The agent hung up the phone and looked at Arima Keixiang: "The male lead... Mr. Kimura is injured and the filming may be delayed."

"Injured?" Arima Keixiang frowned. They were filming and broadcasting at the same time. For the main creative team, time was extremely tight and there was no time for him to recover from his injuries.

"Is the injury serious? When can you return to filming?"

"It's hard to say. I'm still in the hospital. It's said that I'm in a coma..."

"how so?"

"Kimura-san's agent said that he had an accident while riding a motorcycle, but in fact..." The agent glanced at the door of the dressing room and continued: "I heard that he took a girl he just met to a love hotel and was raped by her boyfriend.

They were stopped and a conflict broke out."

Arima Guixiang was furious: "I've heard that this person has bad conduct, but after all, it was during the filming period, so he couldn't control himself? Don't you know that he will drag other people down?"

In Japanese culture, it is a great sin to implicate others, so the manager said nothing.

Arima Keixiang threw the magazine on the dressing table: "Miss Takahashi, we still don't want to cooperate with this person in the future. What should we do now? What do the producers and supervisors say?"

"I was going to ask about the situation..."

"Let's go together. Kimura's mistake cannot be made by all of us." Arima Keixiang stood up and said.

On the other side, director Wataru Sato and producer Shimizu Gatso were also going crazy at this time.

They also just received the news that the leading actor was injured. They heard that he was hit in the head by a vodka bottle and was rushed to the hospital.

As for the reason, it is also very annoying. Hayato Kimura has bad conduct. He went to a love hotel with a woman he met in a bar for less than 30 minutes. Several of the woman's boyfriends found out. They immediately started a group and took Kimura away.

Hayato was beaten unconscious.

The producers and directors were all very worried. Although they still had the film in hand, there were still several episodes left to film.

And even if Kimura can be discharged from the hospital and continue filming with a bandage, his injury will definitely affect his acting skills. The male and female protagonists of this drama are both protagonists. Since they are young actors and lack acting experience, some complicated scenes will appear a bit awkward.

I can't resist, and now I'm injured, I'm afraid my acting skills will be even more compromised.

But Kimura Hayato's fans don't think there is a problem with their idol ability. Many people are still making wild remarks, thinking that it is the director's lack of ability that failed to bring out Kimura-san's acting skills...

How abominable!

What’s even more worrying is, what if this matter is known to the media and widely reported? There is no need to worry about Hayato Kimura’s stardom. This guy brought it upon himself. But what if it delays the normal completion of this drama?

But what should I do? But there are still several episodes left to air!

Sato Wataru calmed down and said to Qingshui Jiacuo: "As of now, this is the only way..."

"Use a stand-in?" Shimizu Gatso hesitated for a moment. He used a stand-in for filming in the early stage, and then added a frontal shot of Kimura Hayato in the later stage. Under the cover of the long lens and foreground composition, he could often get away with it.

But it can only deceive the less attentive audience. There are still a small number of people in the audience who watch the drama with double glasses. The slightest unreasonableness in the plot and the slightest confusion in the camera will attract this group of people.

People's strong dissatisfaction was criticized in the columns of major newspapers.

This small group of people have a common name: film critics.

"In the Name of Love" is broadcast during prime time on weekends, and the station attaches great importance to it. At the beginning of the broadcast, producer Qingshui Jiacuo was also confident that they would be filming a high-quality drama.

Therefore, this drama uses the highest level of production funds in Taiwan. Although it is a TV series, every shot is very sophisticated. The use of stand-ins, dubbing, and post-production head replacement are not allowed by the crew and will affect the performance of the drama.

Overall quality.

So as of last week, the quality was still on the level, and film critics didn't particularly make things difficult for them.

But the creative team doesn't dare to slack off at all. These film critics are like hyenas. Hot dramas are their prey. Once the prey shows signs of poor condition, these people will immediately notice it and join in the chorus.

Come forward and bite.

Film critics know what the audience wants to see in the entertainment section of newspapers. They don't want to see all praise. What they like is the critics' biting sarcasm and satire, and they like the hyenas who treat the stars and producers who are above them.

Step in the mud and pull out their intestines.

As long as their favorite stars and works are not ridiculed, they like to see criticism more than praise.

It is a creator's natural instinct to please the audience and readers. The creators of TV series will do everything possible to film what the audience likes to watch, and film critics will do everything possible to cater to readers' preferences.

I'm going to be scolded... Qingshui Jiacuo shook his head helplessly and thought to himself.

"Mr. Shimizu, Supervisor Sato, have you received the news?" Arima Keixiang came over at this time.

Sato Wataru nodded, "We already know about it and are now trying to figure it out."

"Is Kimura-san seriously injured?" Arima Keixiang asked, the subtext being that if she still had a breath, she would come over to film!

"There will be no way to come to the set for a while." Qingshui Jiacuo said, "We plan to use a stand-in."

"Alas..." Arima Guixiang actually guessed it, but at the same time she also expected that once the drama using a substitute is aired, it will be criticized overwhelmingly by film critics.

Although she was not the one who used the stand-in, she is one of the main protagonists of the show after all, which will more or less affect her evaluation.

Sato Wataru saw Arima Guixiang's worry and comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Arima, I will do my best and it will not affect the quality of the broadcast."

Having said that, it is almost impossible not to have an impact.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk more, so Arima Guixiang can only agree.

Seeing that Arima Keika had no objection, Sato Wataru quickly called Nishimura Taro and asked him to choose someone with a similar image to Kimura Hayato among the male passerby actors to be his stand-in.

Nishimura Taro hurriedly selected among the passers-by actors who had signed contracts in the station. However, Kimura Hayato was tall, with broad shoulders, and his figure was much better than that of most Japanese.

It's almost impossible to pick out any passerby actor who has a similar back or even figure to him. There is only one special actor who is almost as tall as Kimura, but this person is really too strong and has a figure like Kamima Dongxi. Although Kimura Hayato is tall, he is

The figure is actually on the thin side.

He reluctantly found five or six people, brought them to the director and producer, and said bravely: "Supervisor, this is the closest one we can find."

Sato looked at the group of stand-ins in front of him. They were either fat, thin, or short. One of them had a similar figure to Kimura Hayato, but he was actually black.

"Is there nothing else?" Sato Wataru asked.

Nishimura Taro shook his head helplessly.

Wataru Sato didn't embarrass him. He had also been working as an executive director, and he knew how stupid a director who only made demands and didn't care about the actual situation was, so he stretched out his fingers to find the one closest to him among the crowd.

"Director Sato, what do you think of that person?"

Just when Sato Wataru was struggling, Arima Katsura suddenly pointed at a person in the crowd.

Sato Wataru looked in the direction of Arima Keixiang's finger and saw that the man was helping the lighting engineer adjust the equipment. He was not a passerby actor, and he still had an AD badge hanging around his neck.

"Who is that person?"

"The director's assistant sent out for high-skilled production, his name is..." Nishimura Taro thought for a moment, "Fujiwara Kei."
