Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Bei Chengshi didn't know who Chen Mingdao was, but if he turned his name upside down, he would know it very well.

He was a real national first-class actor in his previous life.

Many of his roles and lines were included in the textbooks of domestic film and television universities.

If such an actor could be invited to join the group, it would definitely help the entire filming crew of "The Reason I'm Here" - at least he would be 10 positions ahead of actors like Zhou Kun.

However.

Bei Chengshi touched his chin.

Looking at the few works he had participated in and the appearance of an ordinary little actor, Bei Chengshi couldn't help shaking his head.

This doesn't look like the national first-class actor in his previous life. And after all, the actor in his previous life was not that young.

Could it be similar to the situation of 'Qingshuishan' and 'Qingshui Chong'?

Shaking his head, Bei Chengshi took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet according to the actor's information to see how good Chen Mingdao's acting skills were.

Since he promised Kitano Fumi to carefully select, Kita Chengshi naturally couldn't just rely on his own feelings and recommend the other party just because he thought he was good. After all, if there was another Zhou Kun No. 2, no one could bear this responsibility.

He searched on his mobile phone and soon found the TV series that the other party had starred in - that kind of domestic heroine with a monthly salary of three or four thousand living in a single-family house in a big city, a very ordinary urban bloody drama.

He turned the series to the scene where Chen Mingdao appeared.

Then -

"Huh?"

Looking at Chen Mingdao, who played the male supporting role of the "domineering president" on the mobile phone screen, Kita Chengshi became a little interested.

To be honest, the plot is really not very interesting, just like the domineering president falling in love with me.

But it can't cover up Chen Mingdao's excellent acting skills.

The actors of the male and female protagonists are like potatoes and tomatoes in front of Chen Mingdao's performance, and the highlight is one word - human-machine.

This is really rare.

Such excellent actors can be found in such a bad domestic movie at first glance.

Maybe the director of this domestic film couldn't bear to bury such an actor like this.

There were a few shots later, and Bei Chengshi could sense that the screenwriter wanted to give shots to the male and female protagonists.

But the director's camera gave Chen Mingdao enough presence.

It was the only highlight of this bad domestic drama.

"Not bad."

Bei Chengshi's eyes lit up, and he was very interested.

Although Chen Mingdao's acting skills were still a little immature, there was a clear gap with the Chen Daoming in his previous life.

But even so, he was far better than actors like Zhou Kun, and his acting skills reached an excellent level.

As for the other people on the actor's resume.

Bei Chengshi followed suit and searched on his mobile phone.

Then he was a little disappointed.

The few male actors who looked particularly good either appeared pink and tender, and the main theme was that appearance was supreme, just like Zhou Kun.

There were also a few male actors, and Bei Chengshi could even read their lips to know that they were reading numbers, and even the voices were dubbed in the later stage.

This was obviously not good.

Putting down the stack of actor resumes, Bei Chengshi recommended Chen Mingdao to Bei Yewen without hesitation.

"Chen Mingdao? Well, although I have also noticed this actor, Bei Cheng boy, don't you think he looks a little too plain?"

Handing the planned schedule in his hand to the stage manager on the other side, Kitano Fumi hesitated and spoke out his thoughts.

This is indeed a problem.

He obviously wants to match a more beautiful actor with Bei Chengshi.

But Chen Mingdao is only at the level of "good-looking, but not particularly good-looking".

But as soon as he said this, Bei Chengshi on the other side rolled his eyes: "Director Kitano, I think the first thing to look at is the actor's acting skills, rather than whether he looks good?"

I want to look particularly good and have excellent acting skills.

How can there be so many things in the world that can have both fish and bear's paw?

He didn't care so much, put down the actor's information, said hello, turned around and left-anyway, his task had been completed, and he didn't fool Kitano Fumi, whether to use or not was the other party's business, and it had nothing to do with him.

"."Kitano Fumi.

Watching Kitasumi's figure going away, Kitano Fumi's originally hesitant expression changed, revealing a playful smile.

"It seems that it is really like what Mr. Sanchuan said. Kitasumi is indeed not an ordinary actor."

He took away the itinerary planning sheet under his hand.

The result is the same as Kitasumi's selection.

Chen Mingdao's information is prominently on it.

As a well-known director in the industry with more than ten years of experience, how could Kitano Fumi not see the gap between Chen Mingdao and other actors?

He was just curious about what Sanchuan Takeo said before he left, "Kitasumi can meet all your requirements for the profession of actor."

The result of the test was beyond his expectations.

I didn't expect Kitasumi to really pick out the actor he liked from such a pile of information.

This vision is indeed not simple.

Kitano Fumi thought of this, looked at Kitasumi again, and shook his head.

Kitasumi is a good actor in every way, but this boy is too rude.

I just finished talking to him, and he lay down on the children's bench.

His complete indifference to others made Kitano Fumi wonder if Kita Sumire was really a "set bully" as the rumors in the industry said.

"Forget it."

There is no point in thinking about these things. Kitano Fumi touched his chin with amusement, and he also likes the way Kita Sumi gets along with him.

Unlike other Japanese actors, he is timid and afraid to speak after a few words.

Rather than this, it is better to contact the actors quickly!

It has been more than a week since I came to China. The individual shots of Kita Sumi and Mikawa Nao are almost finished, and only Lu Zhihong's shots are left.

If it drags on like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to China for more than a month.

Chen Mingdao, who was chosen by Kita Sumi and Kitano Fumi, did not disappoint.

Let him rush to the shooting site at around 6 o'clock in the morning, and he can arrive at the shooting site at 5:30 to record the script with lights on.

As an actor, the most important acting skills are also quite eye-catching.

Although it is still a little immature, sometimes the performance may be a bit "overworked", but for Japanese movies that are "overworked" as a whole, this feeling of "overworked" is actually a plus.

In addition, his acting skills are quite solid, and it can be seen at a glance that he is a professional and has undergone serious acting training.

This also makes Kitano Fumi quite satisfied.

However, what makes Kitano Fumi most satisfied is that Chen Mingdao refused Japanese dubbing for the overall effect of the movie and taught himself basic Japanese terms.

This is indeed quite surprising.

Because before filming, Kitano Fumi did not consider Japanese as the key to casting Lu Zhihong.

In the plot design, except in front of outsiders, Lu Zhihong mostly uses Chinese when communicating with his wife and son - this can strengthen the audience's impression that "Lu Zhihong is a Chinese", so as to distinguish him from the heroine Tezuka Yukie in terms of nationality.

Therefore, it is naturally best to know some Japanese, but it doesn't matter if you don't know it.

At worst, you can find a Japanese dubbing later.

Japan's voice actor industry is quite developed, and it is not too difficult to find a voice actor who matches the other party's voice and temperament. But no one expected that the other party would learn Japanese while acting for better results. At the same time, he also had to remember the script.

This kind of professionalism made the staff of "The Reason I'm Here" present at the scene a little incredible.

After all, with Zhou Kun's mess in front of them, they were still worried that there would be another "Zhou Kun II" during the filming, causing the filming to be deadlocked again.

In the end, the other party came, but he was extreme in another sense - he was really too professional. Every morning when I woke up, I could see him being the first to memorize the script on the set.

This is the Chinese actor I know!

Kitano Fumi was satisfied.

He had filmed movies in China before. He had worked with many outstanding Chinese actors.

Those actors are all striving for perfection in filming.

How could they be like Zhou Kun?

Can't even shoot an ordinary shot well?

This is what makes Kitano Fumi headache.

Chen Mingdao's self-study of Japanese is good from a personal perspective.

But self-study has its limits after all.

The other party's pronunciation, articulation, and word breaks in Japanese are not standard.

It is difficult to restore the feeling of the character 'Lu Zhihong' as a teacher in Japan in the plot.

And the only person in the entire filming crew who knows both Japanese and Chinese is Kita Chengshi. Since Kitano Fumi and a group of staff have filmed in China before, they are quite familiar with Chinese and there is no problem with daily communication, so Kitano's filming crew did not bring a translator this time.

There is really no way. For the final effect of the filming, Kitano Fumi can only ask Kita Chengshi again. This time is different from the last test. He really bowed his head and asked Kita Chengshi to teach Chen Mingdao Japanese.

Kita Chengshi was also a little speechless.

You. Are not? Why do you only grab me, the sheep, and fleece me?

What's the situation? I'm just a 10-year-old child.

But seeing that Kitano Fumi came directly to ask him.

In addition, Chen Mingdao is also a family member after all.

Kita Chengshi finally nodded his head and was forced to be the sheep being fleeced.

But he also made his own request.

That is, he must be paid more.

It's crisis public relations and casting, and now he has to guest-star as a Japanese teacher. So many jobs are forced on him alone, and he really can't do it without a pay raise.

As a well-known director, Kitano Fumi naturally has a lot of say.

Without discussing with others, he raised Kita Sumi's original salary of 9 million yen to 11 million yen, and re-signed the contract - this is a salary that only top actors can have in Japan.

In this way, Kita Sumi taught Chen Mingdao Japanese while performing his scenes well.

It's called teaching, but in fact it's more about communicating with Chen Mingdao to make him familiar with Japanese pronunciation and pronunciation.

Although it's just sharpening the gun before the battle, fortunately Kita Sumi is very proficient in Japanese and Chinese, and Chen Mingdao himself has a strong desire to learn, and it actually has a good effect.

This also made Kita Sumi secretly sigh - gold really shines, and the other party's learning ability is really strong.

With the addition of "The Reason I'm Here" this time, Chen Mingdao might win an award, become famous overnight, and get rid of his current situation as a third-rate actor.

He sighed over there.

Little did he know that Chen Mingdao was actually more surprised.

Because of the Zhou Kun incident, he actually had a good impression of Bei Chengshi, the actor.

I have also heard about this Japanese actor’s knowledge of Chinese on the Internet.

But who would have thought that he could reach this level.

Forget about ‘understanding’.

In Chen Mingdao’s opinion, he can be said to be proficient.

Just like ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I just mean it.’ ‘What does it mean?’

This kind of spoken Chinese, which can be said to be a nightmare for foreigners, can be accurately grasped by Kita Chengshi.

This is really too exaggerated.

What surprised him even more was that not only Chinese, but Kita Chengshi’s acting skills were also quite superb.

Maybe he was still talking and laughing with the staff around him in the last second in front of the camera.

But the next second, the sound of the board sounded, and his smile had already disappeared and changed.

Because this is a scene about school.

Kitano Fumi also called some Chinese child actors.

But in Chen Mingdao’s eyes.

The acting skills of these Chinese child actors are not at the same level as Kita Chengshi, a Japanese actor.

Their movements were stiff, their expressions were monotonous, and their main focus was to smile when facing the camera and act energetic.

Kita Chengshi blended into the environment more naturally - his expression was numb, his eyes were timid, he sat in the corner in fear, and looked at the children around him anxiously.

If you look closely, you can even see the slight shaking of his shoulders when the light fell on his face.

This acting skill

Let alone these Chinese child actors.

Even his acting skills, which he has carefully studied over the years, are not good enough compared to Kita Chengshi.

Are even children in Japan so good?

Touching his head, Chen Mingdao was a little skeptical about his life.

Kita Chengshi is just a child in the Japanese industry.

But his acting skills are already quite terrifying.

Is there any child actor in the Japanese industry who is better than Kita Chengshi?

This is really a bit scary.

But he didn't mean to give up.

His acting skills are immature because he has not had much experience in acting. As long as he is given time, his acting skills will definitely become more solid - although it may be difficult to surpass the current Kita Sumimi, there is always hope.

That's it.

Due to Zhou Kun, the filming progress of "The Reason I'm Here" was completely behind schedule.

After Chen Mingdao joined, it began to take shape at a high speed.

Seeing this scene, Kita Sumimi was secretly satisfied in his heart.

Whether it was Chen Mingdao or Mikawa Nao, or him and Mikawa Takeo.

The acting skills of these leading actors are quite online.

Coupled with Kitano Fumi's script and the experienced filming team

He has a hunch.

This time, "The Reason I'm Here" will definitely surpass all his previous works.

Speaking of which, who do you think will win the LOL game today?
