Tokyo Literary Godfather

The first scene after the filming went very smoothly, and the performances of the two actors Takaharu Miyata and Ken Nagasawa were also solid.

The professionalism of both of them is very good, needless to say Miyata Takayoshi, he is the leading artist among Mesozoic male actors in Japan, and his two TV series have established his extremely high status in China. If this movie becomes popular again, even if it stops, no one will be able to challenge his status within five years.

And the acting performance of this No. 1 actor in the Mesozoic era is really not that good. After all, his professional level is fed by thousands of plays.

Compared with professional ability, although Ken Nagasawa is slightly inferior to Takaharu Miyata, he is still good enough. Otherwise, he would not be determined to transform from an idol to a powerful actor. For a man who was born as an idol and has starred in trend dramas for nearly ten years, this is not an easy job.

Because whether it is an audience or a film critic, when they watch his performance again, they will always have preconceived notions. No matter what he does, some people will say that this is an "idol-like performance method."

But after all, he is a person who has been acting for ten years, and he has also worked hard for the transformation. After reading the script this time, the preliminary preparations were also very adequate, and even accompanied by the producer, I went to the Metropolitan Police Department to understand the behavior of the police. Hope to be more presentable.

For the director, it is beneficial to use good actors, so the first time the two played against each other, it seemed that sparks collided in an instant. Kei Fujiwara, who was sitting behind the monitor, seemed to be able to faintly feel the fate feel.

very good! Kei Fujiwara subconsciously nodded.

The first assistant director stood by the monitor, watching the performance of the actors, and at the same time quietly observing Kei Fujiwara's reaction. Seeing Kei Fujiwara nodding subconsciously, he exhaled.

The first scene after the film was turned on was quickly finished. For these two skilled archers, even if there were any emergencies, they could handle them well.

After a few more scenes with the leading actors, it will be time for the big scene, and then the passerby actors will appear. Therefore, the passerby actors also changed their costumes in advance and were waiting to prepare.

The passerby actors are mainly divided into three categories according to their roles. The first category plays the role of police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department, and they mainly wear suits and police uniforms.

The second category is those who play gangsters. The original version in Hong Kong was called Young and Dangerous, but this name is not popular in Japan. Japan has a stronger gang culture, with dragons and tigers tattooed on its body, and it exists legally. In order to make the passers-by actors fit into their roles, the makeup artists even directly bought tattoo stickers and made tattoos for the actors.

Some passers-by actors are still a little reluctant, because the negative impression of tattoos in Japanese society is very strong. Except for some who are determined to be non-mainstream, most people, even nightclub girls, are not willing to get tattoos on their bodies. Some bathhouses even clearly put up signs outside their doors: Tattoos are not allowed.

In order to dissolve the tattoo stickers with sweat, makeup artists use tattoo stickers that are not easy to fall off and are not soluble in water. They do not change color for several days after being applied. In this case, you can't even enter the bathhouse. It's winter and it's the time to take a sauna. How can this be done? And when I get home, maybe I will meet my mother again.

The assistant directors had no choice but to ask the young and beautiful makeup artists to persuade them patiently, and promised to give a red envelope to all the actors who put on the tattoo stickers as compensation, and the passer-by actors agreed.

In fact, the actors who played gangsters in the original version of "Infernal Affairs" didn't have any tattoos, but since the background was to be transferred to Japan, some localization changes had to be made.

The third type of passerby actor is a real passerby, neither a policeman nor a gangster, but a pure background. It's the best role to play. The three types of actors often play together with each other.

When Miyata Takaharu was performing, passers-by and actors were also watching, holding their breath and watching his performance quietly.

Miyata Takaharu is the favorite actor among these passerby actors, almost none of them. First of all, passerby actors are also actors, and they are also people who have a certain understanding of acting and performance insiders. They are insiders.

People in the industry tend to pay more attention to technical strength, so as an absolute actor, Takaharu Miyata naturally gained their love. Of course, there is another reason, which is also the most important reason, that is, Takayoshi Miyata was also a passer-by actor, and he had the ironic nickname of "Prince of the Dragon" back then. The cold eyes turned into warm eyes, the sarcasm back then turned into praise, even the nickname "Prince of the Dragon" which was originally used for ridicule has now become a compliment among passers-by and actors, describing a person It will eventually become popular.

So Miyata Takaharu is a living inspirational story for them. The passerby actors seem to be able to see their future selves in Miyata Takaharu, so they naturally have a better impression of him.

But I like him, and after seeing Miyata Takaharu, no one dared to approach him to ask for an autograph or a photo. The reason was that the assistant director had warned the passers-by and actors in advance not to disturb the actors and director, not to strike up casual conversations or ask for autographs, otherwise wages would be deducted.

This rule may seem a bit unkind, but it is also a rule that many crews have formulated after suffering losses.

Compared with idols, for ordinary actors, salary is more important at this stage. After all, idols can't help themselves pay their electricity bills or buy lunch boxes.

After a day of filming, a vehicle brought hot drinks to passers-by actors and working crew members. It is winter, but the filming is spring and summer. Both the leading actors and passers-by actors are dressed in thinner clothes.

Especially those who play gangsters, because they have to show their tattoos, many of them open their hearts, and their lips turn white from the cold.

This was invited by the two leading actors in order to show rapport, build a good reputation, and also to make the passers-by actors more cooperative with him.

At this time, Kei Fujiwara walked up to Miyata Takaharu and suddenly said: "These passerby actors all like you, you are their idol."

"I'm still not worthy of being an idol. I'm just trying my best to do my job." Miyata Takaharu said a little embarrassed.

Fujiwara Kei said: "If you have time, go and take a photo with them. Many people even become passer-by actors because of your success. They hope to become stars too. But if someone asks you, if you follow along If you continue on this path, can you become like you? I suggest you avoid the question, or encourage with caution."

After all, the road from a casual actor to a popular star is extremely difficult to walk, and the probability of success is very small. Sometimes you have to rely on luck to reach the end. Miyata Takayoshi is not a purely wild actor. He has received professional training and has been tempered in the theater for a long time before he can finally become a well-known actor.

And the key link that allowed him to achieve what he is now is that he met Kei Fujiwara one day in the shooting center. If the gears of fate turn again, Kei Fujiwara and him did not meet that day. Can he still achieve what he has now? Hard to say. But Miyata Takaharu sometimes thinks of this question, and his answer is no.

Maybe he can become a professional actor, but it is almost impossible to achieve his current status.

Therefore, Kei Fujiwara does not want these passerby actors to imitate Takayoshi Miyata and delay their lives. I don’t want Takaharu Miyata to throw chicken soup at them and let them continue down the wrong path.
