Tokyo Sound

The cicadas singing in the woods and the flapping of their wings outside the window.

Thick fog on the mountainside and rain drops at night.

Woods, wheat waves, and mountain roads covered with fallen leaves.

The humid and stuffy Komori village unfolds before the view bit by bit.

There is no dramatic development, only a girl who returns to the countryside from the city, taking care of farm work from unfamiliar to familiar, and making dishes with fresh ingredients. The daily communication with the villagers is also simple and bright. In the middle of the night, the quietness away from the hustle and bustle seems to spread out from the images.

It has been a long time since I saw the clear night sky with the Milky Way hanging high in the sky.

When the neon lights go out, people and forests return to the era when they lived together like children and their mothers.

"I made rice wine. Do you want to try it?" Shizi leaned against the kitchen counter and made a phone call. The electric fan gently blew her hair up.

"Then let me give you some advice." The boy on the other end of the phone said with a smile.

Soon, the sound of tires stopped in front of the door.

"Excuse me." A young man in work clothes and a towel around his neck waved.

There are not so many rules in the countryside. The two people sat barefoot on the ground.

The boy took a sip of the iced homemade rice wine, raised his eyebrows slightly, savored the taste for a few seconds, and smiled, "As expected of Miss Ichiko, who is known as the 'cook', the quality is pretty good this time."

"Then take a bottle back?"

"I won't be polite."

"Are you busy today too?"

"It's just that kind of thing, helping the old man transport things."

"I'm going to move some salmon tomorrow. Can you lend me your car?"

"Can you drive? Never mind, I'll go with you. A fish bucket full of water is very heavy."

What they said were all ordinary, homely things, without any profound truths. There was no music in the background, only the incessant, gradually increasing and decreasing sounds of cicadas and frogs.

The summer sun was hot and pungent. Buckets of trout were dumped from the reservoir into the pond, exhausting both of them, their faces covered in sweat. The boy stood in the shade of the tree with his hands on his hips, grinning, wiping his neck with a towel, the heat and fatigue real and normal.

The short hair was unstyled, the face was unkempt, and there was a light stubble. There were mud stains on the trouser legs. But no matter how sloppy he was, it could not cover up the cheerfulness and vitality of the boy, the simple, ancient charm of working and getting rewards.

"You've worked hard, come and eat something." The old man said on the slope.

He knocked the salmon unconscious with the back of the knife, cut the belly with the tip of the knife, and removed the internal organs. His movements were steady and the procedures were clear. The boy who was preparing the ingredients had beads of sweat on his face, and he looked focused and calm.

The charcoal burned until it was red, and the fish skin turned into a beautiful cooked yellow color under the high temperature. A little bit of fine salt was sprinkled on it, and no other seasoning was needed. The aroma was already overflowing and mouth-watering. When the fish was bitten open, the white and tender fresh fish meat came out. The boy seemed to be a little burned, and he hissed twice, then blew on the skewer, and then continued to bite it. It was very fragrant and satisfying.

The way he eats voraciously may not be elegant, but it reveals a sense of happiness.

Mizuno Nagaharu looked surprised. He couldn't connect the character on the screen with the previous white-robed warrior. Not only was the image and temperament different, but even the habits and small details were different.

A warrior in white walking under the moonlight, holding a lantern in one hand and a sword in the other, his posture is very straight, and his demeanor shows the self-discipline accumulated from years of martial arts training. His lowered eyes hide the flower garden and his lover in the distance. His raised hair is more beautiful than the ripples of spring water in Longtian River, and the cherry petals and rain curtains are the background.

That's someone who can be remembered at a glance.

Even if life is gone, when future generations open the yellowed history books and see the thin person in the black and white photo, they will still stop at the person's gaze, and even smell the fragrance of camellia in the turbulent shogunate era, and think of a cherry blossom snow.

To die silently is to live infinitely.

This image fits all the fantasies of swordsmen. It is full of fate, love and hatred, and justice. It has the stunning beauty of moonlight and the withering of scarlet.

In fact, after watching the film, many viewers said that it was a pity to cast Kiyori Akira in this role, because he would have fewer scenes. If he had played Okita Souji or Seta Sojiro in the sequel, it would have been perfect. But some people also think that such a person is enough to become the source of the subsequent tragic fate of the plot, leading to the oath of not killing that runs through the whole work.

...Suddenly, the requirements for the actor of Yukishiro Tomoe became higher. If the taste was missing, it would seem that Kiyori Akira was not worth it. People were also curious about who played the back figure lying on Kiyori Akira crying.

In short, the image of a young actor in his debut work can become a personal label. There are too many actors who become famous for playing a certain role, to the point where they are bound and cannot break free.

But when Mizuno Nagaharu saw this young man from the farm, he could not associate him with the unrealistically poetic samurai.

He knew it immediately.

This is such a versatile actor!

These are two people completely.

Watching him, covered in dust, successfully replacing a light bulb, watching him sitting cross-legged in the yard, spitting watermelon seeds into his palms. It was so vivid, so close at hand, as if I could encounter him in the streets, behind the counter of a ramen shop, or in the corridors of the campus.

The exciting history scroll seamlessly switches to the life of pots, pans, sugar, vinegar, oil and salt.

He has such acting skills without any natural learning.

Really only talent can explain it.

Nowadays, the correct evaluation of him is no longer "extraordinary potential" but "extraordinary ability".

Mizuno Nagaharu pounded his fist lightly on his palm and nodded secretly.

I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of performances he will have in the future. If it is him, as long as there is a suitable script and a corresponding team, he will be able to win awards in a few years, right?

It is said that you are still signed with a voice actor agency, which is not good. You need to be more career-oriented and transfer to a large professional agency as soon as possible.

I heard from my nephew that the latest animation is called "Blood Sucker"?

A quick search will show you that it is a late-night harem anime that lacks hope!

I have to say, this was buried.

I hope he can realize this early and realize that his current agent and agency cannot bring him better resources. If he continues to take on such shallow harem late-night dramas in the future, it will be too late to regret after his golden age has passed!

The quality of the movie "Little Forest" is very good, and the actors are also very good. When I go back today, I will immediately write a film review and publish it in the newspaper. In this way, I will support young people.

……

In the hot and humid air of early summer, the two lit the stove to drive away the moisture in the house, and the fire made the room hot and unbearable. Ichiko wanted to sit outside for a while, but Yuta suggested that they use the stove to bake some bread, as they had the ingredients.

"Wheat flour is very sticky and it's not easy to form a dry film on the surface, so it's okay if you don't knead it well. Once everything is mixed, just leave it there and wait for fermentation."

As expected of an active voice actor, his voice is soft, gentle and quite attractive.

The man took a clean stainless steel basin, washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and began to process step by step until he added yeast and covered it with a white cloth.

Next is kneading the dough.

Yuta was standing by the chopping board, kneading the dough steadily, exerting force slowly and heavily, with clear lines on his forearms. Sweat gradually soaked his hair, and he raised his arm and wiped his forehead with his elbow, leaving flour on his cheeks.

A white vest, a slender neck, a sexy jawline, those sparkling and serious eyes, and that perfect smile when he turned around and talked to the girl.

Heavy makeup, light and shadow, design angles. Who doesn't know these?

Putting all these aside, it is still moving, and that is the most unsolvable thing.

The two female audience members sitting in the front row, with their hands clasped in front of their chests, were talking to their friends in very soft voices. From their shy giggles, it was clear that they had inappropriate fantasies about the male lead.

The man on the screen was happy because he was enjoying a farm stay at public expense, eating local food, drinking mountain spring water, and playing with a tractor.

The man outside the screen felt very disappointed, because the person sitting next to him was a literary master who was rigorous in his studies and had many literary admirers.

Yin Ze's sitting posture was already very humbly, with his hands covering his face, not daring to look at the old dean's attitude.

It’s over.

I'm about to be pierced through the wrist by a paper.

Everyone is immersed in the fresh and textured film, only the man is feeling the pain of prison alone.

Chapter 192 Circle and Spiral

Life is so idle and boring that I spend the whole night thinking about my ideal direction.

Life is so busy that it is hard to find time to finish watching a movie.

The reason why niche art films are niche is that their pace is too slow, they don’t have cool special effects, and they don’t have eye-popping twists and turns. On the contrary, they use difficult-to-understand shots and shaky lines to tell some ideas that, in the eyes of contemporary people, have been heard many times.

This doesn't mean much to audiences who are accustomed to the information age.

But "Little Forest" is not so unclear after all. On the contrary, its content is extremely simple - villagers surrounded by nature and every homemade meal, that's all.

There are beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women.

People who grow up in urban culture always see pictures of the sea first and then see the sea, read romance novels first and then know love. Our experience of life is often secondary.

So why not slow down, put the weight of your body on the chair, take a short rest in the building made of steel and concrete, and take a journey that suits your mood.

The octopus is in a clay pot, still intoxicated by a dream, on a moonlit summer night.

In the ancient pond, a frog jumped into the middle of the water, making a sound.

The temple's New Year bell rings one hundred and eight times, and outside the window the snow is hazy.

The moon shines brightly in the valley, and fireflies are wandering around.

In the midsummer sunshine, I can hear the sound of butterflies chirping.

Take action, plant seeds, harvest fruits, and cook a simple meal.

The ending of the film is just as quiet and soothing as the beginning of the film.

The lights came back on and the screen went out.

People left their seats one after another and plunged back into the busy and hot Tokyo.

"... Wow, the filming is so beautiful. Brother's lens is so real and sunny, there is no sense of distance at all, as if he lives downstairs from my house." The young audience was still full of aftertaste and thought, "Both the ancient costumes and the modern costumes are so beautiful, there is no flaw."

"You make it sound like she's just good-looking. Her acting is obviously great too," said my friend unhappily.

“But this movie doesn’t have much of a story.”

"So what? Brother's face is full of stories. Just a close-up of his frowning brows brings out the feeling of being trapped in love and unable to get what he wants. Maybe this is the rumored movie face?"

"But you are still talking about the external aspect."

"?"

As the saying goes, laymen look at appearance, while experts look at the details.

Humph, these young girls have very little experience and have watched very few films. What do they know about acting?

Mizuno Nagaharu listened to the conversation next to him and shook his head.

Indeed, in this drama, the male lead is not given much room to perform, unlike his debut work, where everything was right at the right time and in the right place. The actor only needs to put his feet up to complete the explosive formula. However, if he only relies on the script and the benefits of the character's personality, such an arrogant young actor is doomed to not go far.

You don't have enough stamina to play a protagonist with depth, and you don't have enough strength to play a supporting role with layers. So the question is, where are there so many amazing minor roles that you can get a strong impression of with just a few minutes of effort?

Great sounds are silent, great images are invisible. This is a state of mind.

The first step in acting is to liberate your nature, fight against shame, and release power.

Then it is better to hold back than to let go, and hold back freely until it moistens everything silently.

Mizuno Nagaharu asked himself, after working as an editor for film and television newspapers for many years, he could still distinguish between a expressionless face and a drama-discarding face.

This young actor really knows how to control facial expressions, and his close-up shots are really amazing!

There are rankings every day in China, and junior high schools are holding competitions for the cutest students, not to mention the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, where scouts often go shopping to arrest people. To be honest, there is really no shortage of people in the industry who are simply good-looking. If you can't find a living Minotaur, is it difficult to find a handsome man or a beautiful woman?

These artists who are known for their looks often only need to do one thing in their works - look cool.

After years of showing off, artists have developed a sense for the camera. They have rich experience in knowing which angles they look best from, and they have learned how to cry and laugh.

In fact, in this case, it is definitely enough for shooting commercials, but it is not enough for acting.

This young actor is at the third level. He has already reached the stage where he considers being handsome as a factor in the lens design.

There is a difference between taking advantage of being handsome and just being handsome.

The bloodshot eyes of the warrior in white before his death are very handsome, with a kind of broken beauty, but the sadness and unwillingness in his eyes are definitely better than the visual effects of skin and makeup. The rural boy squatting on the edge of the field spitting melon seeds and kneading dough on the kitchen counter is also very handsome, but the rustic atmosphere of the mountains is heavy.

This kind of control is very rare, precise and natural, and it is achieved through the combination of many small details, body movements, and tone of voice.

Ordinary young actors would have to re-record just to say a line, not to mention covering their faces, which would only leave an unmanaged and untrained mediocre demeanor. Without your only advantage, your daze would really be daze, not sadness alone, and you would be no different.

Hugo Weaving was able to wear a mask throughout the entire performance, and with the coordination of light and shadow, the audience could still see the emotions from the fake mask and his thoughts from his actions.

Mizuno Nagaharu suddenly realized.

He has the good looks, the talent and the skills, and as for the lines... this guy is already an active voice actor!

Are there any shortcomings?

What is the star Ursa Minor Beta falling from the sky on the screen?

The more the reporter reviewed the situation, the more satisfied he felt. He discovered that in terms of potential, the company was truly unique.

Okay, okay, I must go back and write a review as soon as possible.
