Japanese big things

The sun is shining brightly, and it's another fine weather. Just like Nakamura Masahiro's happy mood, everything is so beautiful.

Taking the flight from Tokyo to Nemuro, Nakamura Masahiro arrived at Nakabetsu Airport smoothly, and then met his father Nakamura Tomimasa who came to pick him up.

"The crew is ready in all aspects, and the actors are returning one after another. If there are no problems, filming can begin at any time..."

After a few brief words, his father Tomimasa Nakamura talked to Masahiro Nakamura about the crew.

He almost always stays at the location in Nemuro City. In addition to helping to build a large studio, he is also responsible for coordinating the relationship between the crew and the local area in Nemuro City.

Although the investment from the "Antarctic Continent" crew will be of great benefit to Nemuro City, the local population is only about 30,000, so the arrival of the crew will have some impact on Nemuro.

If it cannot be handled properly, problems will easily arise on the crew side, and Nemuro will also have complaints.

Fortunately, Nakamura Tomashi has very rich experience and deep personal connections. He took care of all the details, so there were no mistakes.

"Don't be so anxious. Let's adjust first. I believe those actors won't get into the mood that quickly..."

After pondering for a moment, Nakamura Masahiro shook his head. Although the crew did lose a lot of time due to the earthquake, if you think about it from another perspective, the crew also had a lot more preparation time.

However, the condition of those actors is not so easy to adjust. After all, the agency will not let its artists stay in the root room all the time. It will definitely drag them back to Tokyo to participate in commercial performances to make money.

"Presumably the office has arranged a lot of work for them during this period."

"Indeed, if the crew has no filming, the agency will definitely not give them a holiday. All of them have been called back to Tokyo..."

After Nakamura Masahiro got in the car and sat down, Tomimasa Nakamura started the car, controlled the steering wheel, and drove gently towards the large studio of the film crew in Nemuro.

"For example, Kimura Takuya and Kagawa Teruyuki, they just finished recording the show yesterday, and then they hurried over..."

"They are all big-name artists in the entertainment industry, and they must have a lot of commercial performances and championships."

Masahiro Nakamura is not surprised at all. Artists of the same caliber as Takuya Kimura and Teruyuki Kagawa can be said to be cash cows for the agency. It would be strange if the agency does not arrange for them to make money.

"If they are new people, I'm afraid the office will fill up their schedule..."

The class system in the Japanese entertainment industry is deeply ingrained. Artists in the rookie stage do not have the slightest autonomy and are completely at the mercy of their agencies.

As long as there is free time and job opportunities, the agency will try its best to make full arrangements for its artists, almost like robots.

After all, the efficiency of making money in the Japanese entertainment industry is far less than that of the entertainment circles in other countries, and there is no overseas market to make money, so the only choice is to work more and get more.

"If it's really a newcomer, the office doesn't have that much schedule to arrange for them."

Nakamura Tomimasa doesn't quite agree with Nakamura Masahiro's words. Although the agency wants to arrange for its artists to make money, before the newcomers have not gained popularity and influence, the idea of ​​​​making money is in vain.

After all, without popularity and influence, funders and clients will not buy into it. Even if a new person is chosen for the sake of a large firm, he or she will not be given much remuneration.

For example, those new groups from Johnny & Associates were priced very cheaply when they first debuted. If they hadn't accumulated a lot of fans before their debut, it would have been even cheaper.

The ones who are even worse than this are probably the so-called underground idols, right? Many times they don’t even get paid for participating in performances, and it’s hard to solve the problem of food.

"In addition to the schedule, there are also acting studies and interview training. As long as the office is a little more formal, these arrangements are indispensable..."

While chatting intermittently, the car was speeding on the spacious road. There were few vehicles along the way, which made people feel like they wanted to step on the accelerator to the bottom.

From this perspective, Nemuro's sparse population is not all bad: at least, you can really drive as you wish without worrying about collisions.

As the brakes were slowly applied, the wheels that were originally rotating at high speed suddenly slowed down a lot, and the scenery outside the window became much clearer from blurry.

Soon, Tomimasa Nakamura drove his car into a temporary parking lot. A huge paper sign was hung on a wooden pole, fluttering in the wind.

There are about a dozen cars lined up in the parking lot. Although the intervals are slightly uneven, the overall feeling is quite orderly.

Tomimasa Nakamura stared intently at the rearview mirror, controlling the steering wheel with both hands, slowly moving the wheel backwards, and making small adjustments to the angle error from time to time.

Finally, the car stopped steadily at the outer end. Turn off the ignition, remove the key, get out of the car, and close the door. Nakamura Tomashi's set of procedures can be described as smooth.

The co-pilot, Masahiro Nakamura, had already gotten out of the car first. He looked around casually, and what he saw was the endless desolation in the distance.

The whole world is covered in silver, and the thick snow seems to have covered the earth with a huge quilt, covering all life in the world.

The scene in the distance seems to have pressed the pause button, without any trace of activity, just like a frozen still picture.

It’s hard to believe that in a society with such advanced modern civilization, such intact original ecological scenes can still be preserved?

However, when I consider that the population of Nemuro City is only about 30,000, everything seems to make sense again.

Humans are social animals, and almost no one is willing to take unknown risks to explore new areas if it is not necessary.

The local population of Nemuro, which is about 30,000, cannot even fill the urban area to live in, let alone get to know the world outside the city.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Stop reading, there's nothing interesting about those."

Seeing Masahiro Nakamura looking at him non-stop, Tomimasa Nakamura couldn't help but say hello: "If you want to see it, you can see it every day."

Seeing those desolate scenes for the first time is indeed quite refreshing for those who have never been exposed to them before.

But as long as you stay here for a long time and see it every day, you will easily feel bored.

Just like urban residents always feel that the countryside has beautiful scenery and envy the smoke-filled life. If they were allowed to live in the countryside, they would definitely run away within a few days.

"First sort out the crew and make sure there are no problems, then start filming as soon as possible."

Tomimasa Nakamura walked in front, leading Masahiro Nakamura who followed behind him through the gate of the studio base.

"Don't look at the fact that TBS TV station isn't urging us very much now. That's because they are busy with earthquake-related matters and can't take care of the crew for the time being."

"If we don't start shooting as soon as possible, when they are almost busy, they will definitely send people over to rush them, and you will feel annoyed by then."

Listening to his father Tomimasa Nakamura's instructions, Nakamura Masahiro nodded to express his understanding. With so many people in the crew staying in a small place like Nemuro, the amount of horse chews eaten by people every day is not a small sum.

TBS TV station has invested so much money to film the TV series "Antarctica", and they are not allowed to spend it without doing anything.

If the budget is not enough, it will be troublesome. Because of the importance of the Taiwanese celebration drama, TBS TV station may reluctantly provide additional funds, but the relevant approvals will definitely be troublesome.

Japanese society suffers from procrastination in many aspects, but when it comes to spending money to do things, efficiency is still very much pursued.

Someone like Wang Jiawei, who spends hundreds of millions of dollars and spends several years filming a movie, would probably be ordered to commit suicide by caesarean section in Japanese society.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Nakamura Masahiro breathed a long sigh of relief. Facing his father Nakamura Tomimasa's concerned eyes, he raised the corners of his mouth and forced out a smile.

According to the original shooting plan, Masahiro Nakamura did leave a certain margin in case of unexpected situations.

The original idea was to give the actors more opportunities for trial and error so that they could make adjustments and perform better.

But now that the time has been delayed due to the impact of the earthquake, the only choice is to reduce the opportunities for trial and error for the actors. If we squeeze in more shooting from behind, we can surely control it.

"Supervision?"

"The supervisor is here..."

"Good supervision."

From time to time, I met some scattered crew members on the road. They were quite surprised by the appearance of Nakamura Masahiro, and they all quickly saluted and greeted them respectfully.

Masahiro Nakamura didn't say anything, and just nodded in kind from time to time. He kept walking forward, and he followed his father Tomimasa Nakamura to the supervisory office very quickly.

"This is your office and lounge. The conditions are not very good, so we can only make do with them."

The office space is not very large, and the overall look is relatively simple, but the heating inside is sufficient, and the warm feeling is very comfortable.

Compared with the conditions in Tokyo, the conditions here in Nemuro are indeed very poor. However, this is a remote location after all, so it is not unacceptable.

After all, the mission of the crew coming to Nemuro is to complete the filming of the TV series, not to enjoy the sightseeing tour.

"Do Kimura Takuya and Ayase Haruka have any objections to such conditions?"

Masahiro Nakamura can make do with it, since he is here to film a TV series and does not want to live here for a long time.

But the leading actors in the crew are not sure. Going from the prosperous and developed Tokyo to the remote and desolate Nemuro, the huge psychological gap will definitely not be easy to adjust.

No-name newcomers have no human rights, but they are both famous and influential, so they are not so easy to deal with.

"What opinions can they have? They were clearly informed before the show started, and the moment they signed the contract, they said they had no objections."

Regarding Nakamura Masahiro's worries, Nakamura Tomimasa smiled disapprovingly. Even though the protagonists of "Antarctica" are all top performers in the Japanese entertainment industry, if they dare to offend TBS TV station, they will still be punished.

"The professionalism of actors is not just talk. If they dare to act recklessly, even the firm behind them will not be able to protect them."
