Japanese big things

Trains are sent from Tokyo to various places, and constantly return to Tokyo from various places, full of passengers, running back and forth on the fixed track like a repetitive pendulum movement.

Time is like the gurgling water of the Kanazawa River in my hometown. More than ten days have passed quietly. The lively atmosphere after the New Year has gradually faded and slowly dissipated invisibly, and everything has begun to return to calmness.

When the "Model Student" crew once again gathered at the Kamakura filming location, it was already late January.

The staff who were busy setting up the venue and filming equipment were rushing back and forth. They were all trying to keep their spirits up, and they obviously had not yet recovered from the laziness of the New Year.

After all, I have just spent a long New Year's Eve vacation and have been in a relaxed state for a long time. It is obviously impossible to show a good working condition from the beginning.

Just like a social animal in the workplace, although the body has returned to work, the lazy mentality is still floating outside.

"Nakamura-san, I feel like I'm not in the right state. Why do everyone look so lazy?"

Assistant Hamaguchi Ryusuke walked around the entire crew. The state of the staff made him frown. Seeing Nakamura Masahiro's indifferent attitude, he couldn't help but curiously asked questions.

"Don't worry, wait for them to adjust, and they will automatically enter the state later."

Nakamura Masahiro smiled nonchalantly at Hamaguchi Ryusuke. With his rich experience, he knew how to adjust the mentality of working as a worker, even if the crew members were different from ordinary workplace workers.

"The mentality of regular crew members has its ups and downs, and the state is different at each stage. This is a completely different type from the small crews of literary and artistic films..."

"I know you have led a crew before, and you may feel that you have some experience, but your experience with a small crew is not applicable to a large crew."

"For a small crew, they are usually made up of familiar friends or colleagues, so the atmosphere is relatively relaxed and there will be no management problems."

"But it's different for a large crew. You can't be familiar with every one of them. It's not easy to manage them well."

"However, you only need to manage the heads of each department, and then pay attention to the work arrangements and the status of the employees..."

Nakamura Masahiro patiently guided Hamaguchi Ryusuke. Although he had filmed some works, the crew he led was a small team with a small number of people, so he naturally had no experience in this area.

In fact, the mainstream production of Japanese film and television dramas is almost all small teams. It is not that the formal large-scale crew model does not exist, it just rarely appears.

The reason is simply that the market cap in Japan is so large. If a large-scale production is made, even if the box office results are good, it is easy to suffer investment losses.

Therefore, unless it is a well-qualified supervisor and can be trusted by investors, it is possible to obtain sufficient funds to form a formal large-scale production team.

Otherwise, Japanese investors would not have the guts to spend large sums of money to try their hand at the box office market.

The reason why Nakamura Masahiro was able to gain the trust of Toho and Warner Bros. was not only because he won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, but the main reason was that the movie had a good box office and achieved outstanding results in overseas markets.

Just like Chief Jia on the other side, despite the fact that his movies are not very popular, his performance in the box office market has always been poor, and it seems that he has lost money to his grandma's family.

However, there are many overseas audiences who can't stand it, and the movie can always be kept profitable, which naturally attracts investors.

Perhaps Chief Jia's movies are not as profitable as those big productions by well-known directors, but the advantages of stable profits are still favored. Not all investors have a big heart to give it a try.

"Nakamura-san, I understand."

After listening to Nakamura Masahiro's sincere and thoughtful guidance, Hamaguchi Ryusuke nodded his head very much. No one taught him these experiences.

However, a trace of curiosity arose in his heart: Masahiro Nakamura is obviously much younger than him, and he is still a new supervisor. How can he know more than him, who has seniority?

Looking at the way Masahiro Nakamura handles it with ease, it's obviously not his first time managing a large-scale production crew, but he feels like he has rich experience.

This made Ryusuke Hamaguchi feel strange: as far as he knew, the film Masahiro Nakamura shot before was just a small-budget art film "One Long Day", and it seemed that the entire crew only consisted of about ten people.

However, the TV series he has filmed are quite large-scale, especially the Taiwanese celebration drama "Antarctic Continent", which was heavily invested by TBS TV station. The scale of its funding even exceeded that of many Japanese big-budget movies.

Maybe, Nakamura-san’s management and scheduling abilities were cultivated on the large-scale crew of “Antarctica”, right?

Thinking of this, Hamaguchi Ryusuke felt a little relieved. He thought he had found the source of Nakamura Masahiro's ability to control a large crew.

"Let's stay here for now. If there are any problems later, please report back to me in time..."

Noticing that Sugata Masaki was lingering furtively not far away, Nakamura Masahiro sent Hamaguchi Ryusuke away and called Sugata Masaki to him.

"Sugata-san, is something wrong?"

"Supervision, there is something... uh, this..."

Facing Nakamura Masahiro's scrutinizing eyes, Sugata Masaki started to squirm. He hesitated and couldn't explain why.

"what is going on?"

Nakamura Masahiro frowned slightly. Although he admired Masaki Sugata as an actor, his attitude at this time really made him a little unhappy.

"If something happens, just say it directly."

"Supervisor, that's what happened..."

Nakamura Masahiro's tone became a little harsh, which made Sugata Masaki couldn't help but feel nervous, and he quickly replied.

"In the play, I have an emotional scene with Takei-san... It's just this emotional scene, and I'm a little unsure."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Nakamura Masahiro subconsciously looked at Sugata Masaki, and asked with a slight curiosity.

"Sugata-san, it's actually not difficult to do emotional scenes... You should have had a girl you liked in school, right?"

"I did have a girl I liked..."

Sugata Masaki nodded honestly. He did not hide it in front of Nakamura Masahiro. After all, this was not something that needed to be covered up.

"That's right, you can directly get involved in that relationship..."

Nakamura Masahiro glanced at Sugata Masaki and directly reminded him: "Emotional matters are not just that. If you and Takei Saki pay more attention to the details in their performances, then there won't be much of a problem."

"Supervisor, is love so simple?"

After listening to Nakamura Masahiro's remarks, Sugata Masaki was a little surprised. He opened his eyes and looked at Nakamura Masahiro.

"I think this should be a problem between two people getting along..."

"Isn't that how things are in relationships? If you like someone, you don't have to go out of your way to chase her. But if someone doesn't like you, even if you do everything possible to please her, will she look at you more?"

Nakamura Masahiro's memory fragments still contain the emotions he experienced. At that time, he thought that it was enough to really like him, but the painful reality told him that material conditions were far more important than sincerity.

What he has seen in the film and television industry on the other side of the country further supports this view. As long as it is profitable or can lead to a high position, women do not mind the choice of a partner.

There may be that kind of good girl, but Nakamura Masahiro's mentality is relatively pessimistic. He doesn't think he can have that kind of luck.

So, with the passage of time, Nakamura Masahiro gradually became a part of the film and television industry on the other side of the country and became a carefree and careless member of the film and television industry.

Instead of spending all your energy pursuing a girl you like, it is better to relax, enjoy a free life and concentrate on your personal career.

However, his character still retains the vision of pursuing pure love, which is why he became associated with Miyakoshi Aimi.

Unfortunately, facts once again prove that point of view. Compared with the importance of love, material or career are valued more by the other party.

"Supervisor, what you said makes sense..."

Sugata Masaki nodded, seeming to agree with Nakamura Masahiro's opinion. But as soon as his words changed, he continued to insist on his point of view.

"However, if you like a girl, you must pursue it unremittingly..."

Glancing at Sugata Masaki, Nakamura Masahiro was slightly surprised by his statement. Why did it sound like the lines of an innocent boy?

As far as he knew, Sugata Masaki was not an innocent boy. Although he was not a senior gamer, his private life was also very exciting.

In fact, in the environment of Japan's art circle, it is difficult for artists to keep themselves clean, and they have to actively or passively integrate into it.

Artists who are truly upright and honest will not receive praise from people in the industry, but will be criticized and ostracized by people in the industry.

Compared with those seniors and newcomers who are full of tricks, Nakamura Masahiro can be regarded as the representative of innocence: after all, he only dated one Arimura Kasumi.

"Of course, if the other party really doesn't call, you have no choice but to give up..."

After Nakamura Masahiro looked at him with a complicated look, Sugata Masaki suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly defended himself.

Although he thinks that his private life is very secretive, for a famous supervisor like Nakamura Masahiro, he definitely cannot hide it from the other party.

"Okay, if it's a romantic scene, you should talk to Takei-san..."

Nakamura Masahiro is not interested in Sugata Masaki's private life, as long as it does not affect the filming of the movie. He is not a saint or a moral person.

"For you, you must have some emotional experience, the difference is just how much."
