Tokyo Literary Godfather

Arima Guixiang's heart trembled in a trance. This look in her eyes was very consistent with the character setting of the male protagonist in the play.

The male protagonist Watanabe in the play has always been in love with the heroine Terumi Ueto, but because of his timid personality, he has never dared to say it out loud.

And Ueto Terumi has never been able to understand Watanabe's thoughts.

But in these few episodes, Watanabe finally couldn't hide himself. Although he still couldn't express his confession nakedly, he finally made the heroine feel his feelings.

This section is a relatively important plot in the whole drama. I have to say that Hayato Kimura was injured at the wrong time.

Looking into Kei Fujiwara's eyes, Arima Guixiang had a feeling that the man in front of her had always loved her deeply, and he was full of emotions with nowhere to express them.

At that moment, Arima Guixiang suddenly became a little flustered. She lowered her head and said, "Watanabe-kun, what do you mean by this?"

Fujiwara Keidao: "I don't mean anything. Terumi, it's very hard to like someone. I know it. I know it better than anyone else..."

Arima Guixiang: "..."

"Good night, Miss Ueto, I'm going home. I hope you have a good sleep."

…

After the rehearsal, Arima Keixiang rolled up her hair: "Very good, Fujiwara-kun, have you ever been an actor before?"

Fujiwara Keido: "My major involves this aspect. I used to participate in a performance club when I was in college..."

Arima Guixiang nodded and said: "No wonder, you acted very well..."

Arima Guixiang feels a little regretful that such a good acting skills can only leave a back view and cannot officially appear on the scene.

"But just rehearsing and performing well is not enough." Keixiang Arima reminded with a smile, "During the actual shooting, there is no script to look at. And the director and staff will be watching you. Are you stressed?"

Fujiwara Keimichi said: "It's certainly stressful to play opposite Arima Katsura, but I can handle it."

"That guy Fujiwara wants to act with Keika Arima?!" AD colleagues who had worked with Kei Fujiwara for many days expressed surprise when they heard the news.

"It's just a substitute..." Another person said, but in his heart he said: I also want to be this substitute.

"There won't be any intimate scenes, right?"

"Haha, what are you thinking about? He's just a stand-in, so the intimate scenes won't be his turn."

"Can he act? I'm afraid he will make a fool of himself then."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if he makes a fool of himself. It won't be broadcast anyway. Only we can see it. Hey, he is a colleague after all. Don't laugh at him then."

Colleagues are more or less envious, but in addition to envy, there is also a sense of schadenfreude and sympathy.

Being an actor is not that simple, especially for someone who has no acting training, let alone perform well, just standing in the spotlight, under the scrutiny of a group of professionals, can read in a calm tone It's very difficult to say lines.

"Hey, you guys." Nishimura Taro heard their discussion and walked over with an unkind expression.

"Although Fujiwara is only acting as a stand-in, he will affect Ms. Arima's performance. When he performs, you guys are not allowed to laugh. Do you hear me? Forget it, when the time comes, you acquaintances should not show up In Fujiwara’s sight.”

Many newcomers are like this. The more nervous they are, the harder they can control their laughter. Especially when you see an acquaintance, you may be unable to control your smile as if you are having a seizure.

"knew……"

The role of the hero and heroine is about to start, and Sato finds Kei Fujiwara again to give him psychological training, so that he will not be nervous and not have too much pressure, anyway, his face will not appear in the official broadcast content.

Fujiwara Kei nodded and said he would do his best.

In fact, Sato Sato has already made preparations for NG many times. After all, he is a temporary staff member. If his performance is not good, it is expected. As a director, he will not blame him.

"Scene 4, first shot, action."

Arima Guixiang first adjusted her state. As the slate closed, a "click" sounded and she began to read out her lines.

Sato sat behind the monitor and kept nodding. Arima Guixiang's acting skills have always been very stable, but this scene is a bit special. He was a little afraid that Kei Fujiwara would affect Arima Guixiang's performance.

However, as the "male lead actor" read his lines, Sato suddenly raised one eyebrow, and looked away from the monitor screen in disbelief, looking at Kei Fujiwara.

What's up with this acting?

Kei Fujiwara's performance is very stable, every word is sonorous and powerful, with emotions attached, and the body movements are just right, not exaggerated, but just in line with the plot.

Even better, Arima Guixiang seems to be infected by her opponent, and her acting skills are better than usual.

Kei Fujiwara expressed the pain of secret love for the hero "Watanabe".

And Arima Guixiang also acted out the panic of the heroine "Ueto Terumi" when she found out that her friends had been secretly in love with her.

Sato patted his thigh desperately, it was great!

Nishimura Taro also opened his mouth wide in surprise, this kid... What did he do, he made him look like a movie king.

Hey, why are you so expressive, it won't be officially broadcast anyway!

You look like this, how will you act when Hayato Kimura comes back?

"Crack! Very good..." Hayato Sato looked at Kei Fujiwara, "It's over."

Kei Fujiwara's contemporaries who were spying on the sidelines were also in an uproar. What did this kid do to pass one?

Kei Fujiwara spent a whole day filming and found that acting is indeed a physically demanding job, no less demanding than being a director's assistant.

It was getting late and the scene was over. Arima Guixiang and her agent specially found Kei Fujiwara and gave him a Daifuku dessert, "Thank you for your hard work, Fujiwara-kun. You performed very well today. It was a pleasure working with you."

Fujiwara Kei took the gift and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Arima. This is what I should do."

"I heard from Ms. Arima that Fujiwara-kun's acting skills are already at the level of a professional actor. Maybe Fujiwara-kun has plans to become an actor?"

In fact, Arima Guixiang's original words were: This stuntman's performance is much better than Kimura Hayato, so we might as well ask Supervisor Sato to replace Kimura.

Of course, these are just angry words. Arima Keixiang is very dissatisfied with Kimura Hayato's lack of responsibility and is venting her anger.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't have any thoughts in front of the screen for the time being. I want to be the main creator behind the scenes." Kei Fujiwara said with a smile.

Kei Fujiwara really said this out of sincerity. In Japan, the status of the behind-the-scenes creators, such as well-known directors, veteran screenwriters, and well-known producers, is much higher than that of actors.

Moreover, the income of Japanese actors is not high (compared to other countries), so from an economic perspective, becoming a screenwriter or writer is the most cost-effective way.

The main reason why actors in Japan are not well paid is the tacit understanding reached between the five major private broadcasters and film and television production companies, so as to prevent an actor from asking for excessive prices after becoming famous and increasing the cost of the producer.

In addition, after actors become famous, they must always pay attention to their words and deeds. Sometimes when they meet ardent fans, they hide under their own beds, hide in their own closets, and use their own toothbrushes, which is really unbearable for their hearts.

One Mrs. Yoshihara almost made Kei Fujiwara's heart stop. A few more would probably send him away directly.

What's more, acting is really tiring!

"Really? It's such a pity. But talented people will make achievements in whatever they do."

The agent is a good person, and she seems to see some kind of elite temperament in Fujiwara Kei. She always feels that although this person is just a small person now, he may skyrocket in the future. If you say more good things, you will never lose money.

"You are overly complimentary." Kei Fujiwara bowed slightly.

In the next few days, Kei Fujiwara temporarily put aside his AD work and has been cooperating with Keika Arima in acting.

Arima Keika is an actor who takes filming very seriously, but since the filming of "In the Name of Love" started, she has never been able to find the feeling of "Ueto Terumi".

She tried hard to feel the character, but she always felt that she was separated from the character.

But in the past few days, when she and Kei Fujiwara were acting opposite each other, they would describe each other's understanding of the characters and the story. This made her feel the shadow of the character "Ueto Terumi" in a trance, and she transferred herself to Also get into the shadow of this character.

It's a pity that this drama is already halfway through. If this feeling can be found from the beginning, Arima Keixiang believes that she can perform better.

Therefore, in the process of acting, a good opponent is really important!
