Tokyo Love Story

But the question is, as a director, is it necessary for him to lie to the other party? In other words, from his point of view, what benefit can he get from lying to his assistant director?

"I know what you mean, but..."

Junpei Takaoka waved his hands and quickly began to explain.

"I think the young man I'm talking about is not that old, so it's a little hard to believe, right?"

Akutagawa Aoki rubbed his brows, lowered his voice, and asked this question.

The other person's thoughts are almost written on his face.

"Yes."

Junpei Takaoka took a deep breath, then nodded very honestly and gave an affirmative answer.

Whether it is the script content of "Initial D" or the song "Dear North" which is quite consistent with the theme of the movie, they are both very mature commercial works.

The longer he stayed on the set, the more he could feel the power of the movie.

To be honest, he really wanted to meet the author of the script.

"There's a saying that goes, talent is something that sometimes really depends on natural endowment." Akutagawa Aoki took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, handed a cigarette to his assistant director, and then lit one himself, "There's no need to make a fuss just because of the other person's age.

“Besides, you are already an old hand in the director circle.

“You’ve seen a lot of talented actors like that.

"Isn't it a bit excessive to react like this now?"

His words were very tactful.

As a veteran who has also been working in the industry for more than ten years, he can understand the other party's feelings.

But at the same time, he felt that there was no need for the other party to do this.

If others are better and younger than you, just admit it. It's not shameful to admit it.

Being so jumpy like we are now would be a bit embarrassing.

Feel sorry. "

The assistant director realized that he had overreacted and immediately came to his senses. He lowered his head and apologized apologetically.

"Drink some water and take a rest. We will continue filming soon."

Akutagawa Aoki did not intend to blame the other party too much.

He patted Junpei Takaoka's shoulder, picked up his cell phone and walked aside.

According to their current shooting progress, everything will be basically done in about one and a half months.

Although only a small half of the film has been shot so far, he can already feel from this small half of the plot that this movie will definitely be a big hit.

As for Junpei Takaoka's loss of composure, he could indeed understand it.

The other party has recently encountered a low point in his career.

Not only did several films he directed fail, but even his most recent low-budget film was directed by someone appointed by the company.

The person who replaced him was a new and famous director in the industry.

Compared to Junpei Takaoka, who is over 40 years old, the new director who succeeded him can be said to be quite young.

Similarly, he was quite aggressive. After taking over the position of director, he made many sarcastic remarks to Junpei in a veiled manner, and expressed that he respected the elderly very much and "sincerely" invited Junpei Takaoka to come to the crew and be his assistant director.

There is no need to think about it, the words "assistant director" must have been emphasized.

So, in a rage, Junpei went to his own crew.

If the roles were reversed, he would end up in the same situation as Junpei - excessive PTSD.

But this does not mean that there is no need for correction.

When it comes to being a director, it’s definitely his works that speak for themselves.

I was mocked by the other party today. Although being sarcastic in return can make you feel smug for a while, the most important thing is to produce results.

Excellent work performance is always a tried and tested weapon to slap people in the face.

No matter what you say, I always say that the movies I directed sell better than yours, and that’s enough to break down the other party’s defense.

Junpei was still too emotional sometimes.

Shaking his head, Akutagawa Aoki unlocked his phone screen, logged into his social media app, and posted a report on the progress of the shooting.

[Currently, the progress is stable, and the male and female protagonists are gradually getting into the state. "Initial D" will be available to everyone soon! 】

Putting away his phone, Akutagawa Aoki raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at the young man who was sitting on a small stool not far away and was seriously familiarizing himself with the plot.

The other party has been in the industry for more than two years.

At first, relying on his good looks and excellent vocal conditions, this boy managed to carve out a niche among a group of young singers.

But unfortunately, due to some business factors, this young man did not develop well last year.

but……

This kid is quite serious.

Although he has not received any professional training and his acting skills are quite immature, he is willing to spend time practicing.

In just ten days of shooting, the young man has found his best form.

There is a sense of being at ease and acting in one's true self.

——After all, his actual age is only four or five years older than the male protagonist in the movie.

It would be too easy to let young people play young people.

only……

Akutagawa Aoki raised his head and squinted at the clear sky above his head.

He still felt sorry.

If the male lead was played by Jay.

Ugh.

With a sigh of loss, Akutagawa Aoki became more and more regretful.

He had a strong feeling that if Jay played the role of the leading actor, he would be 30% to 40% better than the young man.

As for the reason.

The script was written by him.

Playing yourself is too easy.

Even if, as Jay said, this script was just a flash of inspiration, young people have to save face after all, and no one wants others to expose their scars.

It would hurt, and it would be humiliating.

However, he also knew that his expectations were just expectations.

Just like what my good friend said.

Others are not interested in this at all.

What else is there to say?

Thank you to Mr. Kazuto Kiritani for the monthly ticket. Your support is my motivation for writing.

See you all tomorrow~

Chapter 366: Let’s talk about it tonight

When the wine-red sunset fell into the sea level, the concrete steel forest was once again swallowed up by the night.

Beichuan's house, in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Beiyuan Rinyin picked up the TV remote control and pressed the volume plus button with her bare fingers. After turning up the volume of the TV a little, she put down the remote control, turned her eyebrows, and looked at Beichuan Che naturally.

Those beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

What Shirakawa High School held this time was more like a music festival than a concert.

Apart from the fact that each class will still be graded, everything else, whether it is the overall process or the bonfire party provided by the school in the evening, are roughly equivalent to the word "music festival".

"what happened?"

Beichuan Che noticed the look of a certain young lady, turned around and met her gaze.

When their eyes met, they both saw themselves in each other's eyes.

"I'm curious."

Kitaen Rinyin withdrew her gaze and refocused her attention on the TV program that was being played.

The plot of this evening drama is becoming more and more interesting.

The hero and heroine are childhood sweethearts. Both of them come from relatively ordinary families. The hero has good grades and has an inexplicable and naive feeling for the heroine.

But how can a relatively emotionally introverted boy compare with his classmates who come from a wealthy family, are graceful in their dealings with others, and have a good-looking appearance?

Naturally, the heroine fell in love with the second male lead.

But the second male lead's family is much better than the female lead's.

In a relationship with the purpose of marriage, the choice is never just a matter between the couple, but a matter of two families.

The father of the second male lead met the female lead, explained the situation to her with both reason and emotion, and even took out a check for an astonishing amount of money, just to get the female lead to leave his son.

The heroine refused.

Thus, the means of peaceful settlement came to an end.

The second male lead was forced to accept his family's arrangement and study abroad.

After all this experience, the second male lead was forced to accept his family's arrangement to study abroad, and then contact the female lead through the Internet.

Then, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, all the high school students have entered society and grown into adults.

The male protagonist who was once emotionally introverted has become a reliable senior in the workplace who is trusted by his colleagues and admired by his juniors.

After a club team-building activity, the protagonist's junior, a beautiful office lady who had long admired him, confessed to him.

This is the second female lead in this drama.

According to the setting, the second female lead's family is quite wealthy, and her parents are reasonable people.

What follows is the standard girl-chasing-boy plot.

If nothing unexpected happens, this couple should be able to get together.

But at this moment, the heroine, who had broken up peacefully with the second male lead in college, reunited with the male lead again.

But now she is no longer that ordinary girl, but the president of a rapidly developing company.

As a result, the plot became confusing again.

"Curious about the plot?"

Beichuan Che asked uncertainly.

If you are curious about the plot, then he can guarantee that the director of this TV series has learned the essence of the 8 o'clock evening drama "The Other Shore", and the main theme is one misunderstanding after another, and one miss after another.

If nothing unexpected happens, the hero and heroine will not be together in the end.

And then there will be a plot that progresses over time.

For example, they are about to part again, and when they meet again, the heroine is already in her forties and still single, but the hero has already started a family with the younger generation who pursued him.

Then, he could only say that with such a plot, there would be too many topics to talk about.

There is also a lot of content that can be discussed.

It depends on whether the director is willing to be scolded.

——Let the audience curse him while watching this TV series.

"This TV series is indeed quite interesting." Beiyuan Rinyin agreed, "But this is not what I'm curious about."

Hearing this, Kitagawa Che thought for a moment, then asked belatedly, "Is it about the concert?"
