Chapter 95 Let's make a movie

Everyone booked a barbecue restaurant in the city. The atmosphere was never too warm with minors. Even the adults implicitly drank a little beer and gave up. Before nine o'clock, the dinner was over. Domoto and Tomosaka Rie rushed back to Tokyo overnight under the leadership of their agents. Most of the members of the production team chose to stay here nearby, because they would enter the set to make arrangements before four o'clock the next day.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Yukihiko Tsuki asked, "Will Ye Jun go back to Tokyo tonight or stay?"

Ye Zhao did not answer immediately, but waited for his next words. As expected, Tsuki Yukihiko continued, "I must not have had a great time drinking just now, right? If you don't mind, how about finding a place to renew with us?"

"We" refer to the scriptwriter Fukasawa Masaki and the assistant director Kosuke Umiya who is in charge of the first episode.

"Of course there is no problem." Ye Zhao immediately agreed, "I will continue to disturb the crew tomorrow, so I'll just stay here tonight."

So, after arranging Uemura Yuki to book a hotel overnight, Ye Zhaohe and the other two did not have to take a taxi. After walking for about five minutes, they found a small restaurant on the side of the road.

There were no customers in the shop, and four of them occupied a small square table set on the tatami, ordered a platter of soju and sashimi, as well as the simple serving dishes provided in the shop.

The first glass of wine was filled by the owner of the store. She was a woman who looked about forty years old and was quite charming. Her long hair dyed brown with long partings drooped to the right side of her shoulders, and the hair on the other side was tied behind her ears, and the lines from her face to neck were beautiful and gentle. When pouring wine, she pinched the neck of the wine pot with one hand and gently supported the body of the pot with the other hand, which was close to her. She could see that the surroundings of her eyes could not be covered with foundation, exposing the fine wrinkles of her real age.

"Let's have a drink first." Yukihiko Tetsu picked up the wine glasses, touched each other gently, and drank the wine. As the youngest of the four, Ye Zhao took the wine pot first and filled everyone in turn.

After drinking the first pot of wine, Masaki Fukasawa suddenly asked: "How is the progress of Tetsusang's film production?"

"The pre-production filming has ended." Yukihiko Tsuki drank a sip of soju, "When I finished filming these two TV series, I have to rush back to do post-production editing, and I still have some fun."

"Did Tisang make a movie?"

"I remember it was a movie called "Goodbye RB!", right?" Kosukusaki Urimiya recalled, "Around this time last year, Tsukura said it in a tavern in Shin-Okubo."

"You still remember it." Yukihiko Tsuki stretched his chopsticks to the sashimi platter.

Ye Zhao was a little curious, "Ti Sang, is there any difference between filming movies and TV series?"

"Different?" Tsukihiko said as if he was telling a cold joke. "Of course, the length is different." After swallowing the tuna, he slowly added: "The difference in length between movies and TV series is something that children know. And all the detailed differences afterwards come from this biggest difference."

"That's right." Fukasawa Masaki took over the conversation, "A TV series is about fifty minutes. If calculated according to the standard ten episodes, it will have a length of five hundred minutes. However, the movie is only ninety to one hundred and twenty minutes, so it is impossible to tell stories like a TV series. I don't know the shooting techniques, but in terms of script writing, since the length of the text is reduced, we must abandon the way the TV series focuses on the relationship between characters, and the screenwriter's skills are also much higher."

"About this," Ye Zhao recalled, "When I was in the screenwriter's school, the teacher said that the narrative method of TV series is more delicate, focusing on using language to promote the plot, while the narrative method of movies is more refined, using light, sound effects, actions, and even props, anything that may appear to set off the plot. A good movie will not waste any shots."

"It's not all," added Kosuke Yumiya, "I don't know how many times wider the movie screen than the TV series screen. For example, whether the picture is exquisite and whether the lighting is just right, once these things are put on the big screen, they can be seen at a glance. Therefore, the requirements for shooting equipment and production personnel are also very high, and the investment scale is correspondingly larger."

"Take the movie Kaneda Ichi is filming now. The schedule is arranged on the itinerary. The appearance of the first episode is three and a half days, the studio is two days, and the post-production is two days. Such efficiency will definitely not work if you put it in the movie."

What Yukihiko Tetsu is concerned about is another thing, "Has Ye Jun still gone to the screenwriter school?"

"Because I'm very interested in this." Noting that Tsuki Yukihiko's wine glass was empty, Ye Zhao reached out to get the wine pot, but this time, Tsuki Yukihiko thanked him and filled the wine himself.

"Do you three think that it is annoying for laymen to enter the field of film and television dramas without authorization?"

"Are you a fool?" Tsukihiko scolded in a joke, "Whether we, more high-end talents, aren't they all laymen who start learning from scratch?"

"Ye Jun, although there is a saying of 'genius' in the world, in the field of film and television, it is the world of experiencers. Now the leaders in the industry have almost made their mark after years of experience accumulation. It can even be said that the more amazing the genius is, the higher the chance of disappearing. Because they lack sufficient accumulation. Especially for the highly commercialized industry of TV dramas, the most important thing is to have a precise vision to grasp the lifeline of market popularity."

Masaki Fukasawa's expression is more serious, "How to say it, whether it is a whim or really wants to go deep into this field, I will not oppose people with inexperienced entering this industry. Only when fresh blood continues to pour in can the vitality of this industry be maintained. Although I am a TV screenwriter, I still have to use movies as an example. The reason why local movies now look like this is closely related to the loss of talent."

Yukihiko Tsuki took back the chopsticks that reached for the fried shrimp tempura and showed a subtle smile, "As far as I can see, I was also the group of people who have experienced the last glory of local movies, although that glory soon disappeared like a bubble. So at that time, I decided to be a film director, but in the end-" He seemed to have no idea of ​​a suitable adjective, paused and sighed, "The film market is so poor now that it is very sad to make a decent movie just for investors, especially non-commercial films."

Fukasawa Masaki added his opinion as to the words of Yukihiko Hitomi, "In fact, the industry of TV series seems to be fierce and strict, but it has a high tolerance for failure. Even if a TV series is smashed, there are fewer actors and producers being sent off with red cards. In contrast, movies have a lower tolerance for failure."

"So, in order to achieve commercial results faster, the film industry has taken many short-sighted measures that are eager for quick success and instant benefits. Although the film market has slightly recovered in the short term, it quickly consumed the audience's patience, which made the film industry increasingly recession. Because of the recession, the cost is more difficult to recover. Film production companies have begun to compress production costs and reduce personnel, causing a large number of practitioners to leave, and even fall into the vicious cycle of the present."

...

During this casual chat, the soju took three more pots of sautum, because there was still shooting the next day, and the reopening did not last until too late, and it was over at about 11 o'clock.

He and Yukihiko Tachi and the other two went back to the hotel where they were staying. The conversations with these three senior film and television personnel tonight were constantly replayed in Ye Zhao's mind. He had made so many preparations before, and it would be impossible to say that he did not try to enter the film and television industry. If he wanted to gain an important position in the RB art world, it would be far from enough to just write songs for others. In that case, his influence could only be limited to the music industry.

Unlike songs that can be copied, he has too little in film and television, and it can be said that he needs to start from scratch. By being a follower on the set today, Ye Zhao realized that he wanted to learn things by observing this way, at most he was just a little fun with the layman.

If you want to be uncontrollable, you must break away from the identity of "producer" and become the "producer" of others. He does not have enough time to be like an ordinary layman, and serve as a director for several years or even more than ten years, and then start directing independently. If you want to get into the more core essence, you must make a movie yourself.

"Since that's the case, what should I do in the first movie..." The previous three singles and the singles provided to WANDS brought him more than 200 million yen in royalties. It's enough to invest in a small-cost movie. Speaking of a small-cost movie worth shooting, the name of a movie flashed through Ye Zhao's mind.

...

"Miss Kawamoto, the pace was a little slower when entering the chorus, please pay attention."

“…”

"Very good, do it again."

“…”

In the recording room, Kawamoto Kazuyo was conducting a trial sing of his debut single under the command of the recording artist. In addition to the recording artist, there was also Ye Zhao, who was also wearing monitor headphones, standing in front of the console.

After deciding to shoot the movie by himself, Ye Zhao gave up his plan to continue watching on the set. After the scenes the next night, he said goodbye to the crew and rushed back to Tokyo overnight.

After Kawamoto Kawamoto signed with Sony, her itinerary can be summarized as three points and one line in music classrooms, recording studios, and apartments. Sony has a special music school. In addition to honing singing skills, there are also professional guitar teachers to guide her guitar. She will debut as a guitar female singer, and her skillful performance skills will also become a selling point.

As a top record company, Sony has several top-level recording studios in Tokyo, including professional recording studios in the company building. However, the place where Kawamoto Kawamoto was auditioned is not inside Sony, but in Shibuya's recording studio.

Until the recording engineer announced a temporary rest, Kawamoto Kazuyo came out of the recording room, "Ye Zhaosang."

"Compared with the first time I heard you enter the shed, this progress has been quite rapid." Ye Zhao encouraged gently.

"Thank you." Kawamoto Kazuyo smiled.

The recording engineer took the CD machine and a CD, "This is the sample after Ye Zhaosang asked before to add your backing effect."
