Tokyo Literary Godfather

Mizuhara Yui contacted Inoue Morimata's agent and signed a contract with the young actor.

After Mori Inoue was cast, Kei Fujiwara went to cast other actors.

"Homeless Kid" is not like "The Vacation." The long vacation comes and goes with just a few people's stories, one boy, two boys and three girls, one girl, two girls and three girls. Ninety percent of the entire show is occupied by them.

The drama "Homeless Children" has a long story line and complex character relationships, so there are also many actors.

The audition alone took a lot of time, but in the end the actors were confirmed one by one.

However, when looking for the role of my cousin Gong Zhao, I encountered some obstacles. This role needed to be played by a young man, around fifteen years old, but the right actor could never be found.

If you want to find a handsome boy who is fifteen or sixteen years old, there are usually many idol training agencies, such as the famous Jacks Agency. There are many cultivating groups in it, and there are many male idols aged fifteen or sixteen.

However, most of these idols come from singing and dancing backgrounds and are not very good at acting. If they play other roles, that's fine. However, the role of cousin Gong Zhao is very complicated. Can a person who is paralyzed in his lower limbs, loves and hates his mother, and who has not received much acting training, be able to act well?

With a skeptical attitude, Fujiwara Kei asked the staff to find a few idols to try it out. They almost made Kei Fujiwara pee in the role, but it didn't work.

Just when Kei Fujiwara had a headache, Konemon Matsumoto suddenly came to see Kei Fujiwara for a drink. The moment he saw Konemon Matsumoto, Kei Fujiwara was startled.

So the next day, Arimasai was brought to the set by his father.

"You used my sister, you used my father, and now you still want to use me." Sai Arima looked at Kei Fujiwara with question marks on his face: "You really have a soft spot for our Arima family. I understand. How do you say that, love..."

"Love the house and the bird."

"Yes, love a house like a crow, that's an idiom." Arimamasai nodded and said, "If you love a house, even the crows standing on the house will like it... Wait, you think my father and I are crows?"

"If you perform well, your salary will not be less." Kei Fujiwara said, "Although it is not as good as your father, I can give you a relatively high salary for this level."

Arimasai spread his hands, "I don't care about this, money and so on... it's the most vulgar. I just perform normally, and it's up to you to decide whether it's good or not. My father asked me to practice eighteen times, and I'm so fast these days. I’m so exhausted that I don’t have time to travel between places.”

"The salary I will give you is 200,000 yen per episode, but if you perform well..." Kei Fujiwara lowered his voice, "I will give you an additional 50,000 yen per episode. It will not go to the company's account. Your father doesn't know. .”

Arimasai immediately gave a thumbs up, "You are really discerning, really discerning. To be honest, acting is no longer a challenge for me. In fact, my sister is not as good as me in terms of talent as an actor. . I also acted in a movie when I was a kid, "The House at the End of the Hill." Have you seen this movie? Do you know that many film critics call me a genius actor?"

After he finished speaking, he added: "You won't lie to me, right?"

"Of course not." Kei Fujiwara said, but he thought to himself, since you don't have many roles in that role, you won't be able to play it for a while and you'll be off the production line.

"That's good." Sai Arimama rubbed his hands, "When will we audition?"

"Right now, by the way, you go and meet our leading actor first." Fujiwara Keido was thinking: A genius actor? Oh, let you see what a real genius is.

Fujiwara Takashi brought Uma Sai to the audition, and specially brought Inoue Moritata with him, so that the two of them could play together. When Arimasai saw Inoue Moritata, he showed a standard smile with eight teeth: "Hello, hello. , little sister.”

Inoue Mori took a step back with some fear and looked at him nervously.

Arima Sai whispered in Fujiwara Kei's ear: "How can this little girl be so shy? How will she act when the time comes? She won't even be able to speak her lines, right?"

"You don't have to worry about her."

"Yes, you are the creator and you have the final say."

"Morita-chan." Kei Fujiwara bent down slightly and looked at Inoue Moritata with a smile, "Will you cooperate with my brother in the audition later?"

Inoue Mori nodded again.

Kei Fujiwara briefly explained the scene to the two, and then started rehearsing.

As expected, once the performance time officially entered, Inoue Mori seemed to be a different person and got into the state very quickly. However, because Arima Sai was exposed to the role for the first time, he was a little unable to adapt and even forgot a little. Words.

After not performing well in the first rehearsal, Arimasai looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not in good condition today..."

Fujiwara Kei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can do it again."

Arimama Sai memorized the lines again, and this time he obviously put a lot more thought into it.

When he did it again, Arimamasai was obviously more serious, much better than before, but obviously still not as good as Inoue Morimata.

Inoue Mori is the kind of person who is undoubtedly talented, the kind who is fed by God. Even the young actor Yumi Adachi in the original version can't compare to her.

Arimasai also felt that his performance was not as good as Inoue Morimata's. He came from a theater family, and he could clearly sense who was the center of attention in a scene. When he discovered that Inoue Morimata's aura was obviously stronger than his own, , the competitive spirit of a descendant of a family of artists was aroused.

"I want to act again." Arima Jiansai said.

"The performance was good this time." Fujiwara Kei said, "I passed the audition. It would be great if I can maintain this level after the official launch."

"I'm definitely better than that little girl during the official filming." Sai Arima muttered.

"Come on, I'll give you the script. Go home and study it carefully." Kei Fujiwara patted his shoulder and said.

The actors took their places one after another. This "Homeless Child" will face the new drama of Hidaka Junaki. This is the biggest challenge he has encountered since he decided to implement the "Moon Nine" plan. Therefore, Kei Fujiwara pays more attention to it than before and decides to participate in it himself. Come to work as a director of a play.

Originally, this drama was independently supervised by Kobayashi Shuzo, but now it has been jointly supervised, but he has no objection. Of course, the objection is invalid.

No one doubts Kei Fujiwara's ability to supervise, and it's not the first time he has crossed borders. From writers, to variety show planners, to screenwriters, everyone who doubts has his face swollen, and Shibazaki Hideaki, who is also a director I really believe in his directorial ability. You must know that during "The Long Vacation", almost half of the storyboard scripts were directly adapted from the version written by Kei Fujiwara.

After signing the contracts with the actors, a group of people held a three-day script meeting. Kei Fujiwara asked the actors to call each other by the names of the characters in the group to get closer to the characters.

After the actors almost understood the characters, the creative team also held planning meetings for several days, and the production of "Homeless Children" was officially launched.

The crew was divided into two by Keiichi Fujiwara, and divided into groups A and B for filming. Group A mainly filmed the scenes of the heroine "Suzu Aizawa", while group B mainly filmed scenes of other characters.

"Homeless Children" has many characters, and the branch stories are also relatively complicated. In addition to the main story of Suzu Aizawa, there are also branches of biological parents, uncle and aunt, and teacher Katashima...

After the official filming started, the people in Group B seemed a little nervous when they saw Fujiwara Keiya. They seemed far less relaxed and casual than when working with Kobayashi Shuzo.

Familiarity increases contempt, and unfamiliarity increases majesty. This is a new crew. Many people in the crew have never dealt with Kei Fujiwara, but have only heard of him as a young screenwriter.

Kei Fujiwara is not afraid that these people will look down upon him because of his youth. He has already filmed so many dramas, and it would be a bit stupid to have such an idea again...

Kei Fujiwara looked at the supervisor and sat silently on the director's chair behind the supervisor.

It feels like I have been away for a long time...
