Be a Movie Star in a Two-dimensional World

In this way, the time passed through the relatively stable November, and came to the last month of the year in a blink of an eye.

As the top priority of Su Huai's work, "Death Note" resumed filming after a few days of suspension.

The production team seems to have settled the review issue, but director Ohba never mentioned the troubles encountered in this matter and the solution. It's over, don't worry."

Most people stopped asking after hearing this, because since the director said it, it must be unmistakable.

Although Su Huai felt that Dachang seemed to be hiding something on purpose, this topic was not something he should ask after all. In the spirit of an actor fulfilling his own duties as long as he performed his own play well, Su Huai also Didn't ask much.

And on December 12th, the first episode of "Natsume's Book of Friends" was finally broadcast on TV.

Chapter 173 Rotten Banana

On the 11th, Su Huai specially reserved time after dinner, waiting for the premiere at 8 o'clock.

Although Su Huai does not have a role in the first episode of "Friends' Account", and he will not appear, but as an actor participating in the performance, Su Huai still looks forward to the success of this drama.After all, no one pays attention to bad movies, and Shi Yu, played by Su Huai, will not come out until the third episode. If he loses popularity during this period, then his appearance will not last.

This is the situation.

Most of the people watching this show must be looking at the protagonist, or a famous guest star like Arturia.But certainly no one will know who Shi Yu and Su Huai who plays him are before this, so a good start is essential to gain attention.

"Come on."

When he saw the title song and the protagonist appearing above the screen, Su Huai silently cheered for the leading actor Natsume Hiroshi in his heart like this, and then sat quietly in front of the projection screen and watched it.

By the way, the current Su Huai is watching the movie while staying in Miaoqi—that is, his old room. The reason is that the set of equipment that Hu Su gave him was installed on the wall, and now it is usually used by Miaoqi. Used it as a game console screen.

For Su Huai to use the screen to watch TV, she used the handheld mode. While playing the phone, she glanced at the screen and asked, "Will you appear in this drama?"

"Well, but not in this episode."

"What episode is that?"

"Episode three."

"Will it be released today?"

Su Huai was silent for a moment, and replied, "No."

Meiqi just raised her eyebrows, and continued to focus on her game without speaking, leaving Su Huai alone to watch TV.

To be honest, such an atmosphere made Su Huai a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the story of "Book of Friends" soon attracted his whole attention.

As an actor who only participated in one episode, Su Huai's understanding of this drama is limited to the outline, and the plot of the episode he participated in. He knows that this is a story about the relationship between humans and gods.

Hiroshi, who is quite popular among women, plays the role of Takashi Natsume in this drama, and his good partner, Madara the cat teacher, is dubbed by someone after the whole process is produced with computer special effects.

But I have to say that what I saw when I was shooting on the set was one yard, and what I saw when I was sitting in front of the TV is another yard.Mr. Kitty’s hair, as well as the eyes and micro-expressions on his face, are all lifelike and fit perfectly with the scene. On the other hand, Hiroshi’s gentle, elegant, and melancholy little shou’s face is probably already captured. A large number of girls and young women who are sitting in front of the TV watching now are heartbroken.

Of course, what Su Huai saw was not just superficial appearances of celebrities and CG special effects.

Although he cares about the plot of "A Book of Friends", his eyes are inadvertently attracted by the performances of the actors in the plot. Perhaps it is an occupational disease that cannot be escaped. Even when he is watching TV, his mind is constantly thinking about Thinking, if I were to play this role, how should I perform it.

This includes Kitamoto, who he went to interview at first, as well as the protagonist Natsume, and even some female characters, except, of course, the cat teacher.

To his slight surprise, Miki, who showed no interest in this at the beginning, also joined the ranks of watching the film at some point in the middle.He didn't know the exact time. After all, Su Huai had been concentrating on analyzing and practicing in his brain, so that when the ending song sounded, he became a little confused, not knowing whether the film was good or not.

He turned his head to look at Qi Qi, who was still staring at the screen, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't know." After Qi Qi said it so plainly, he gave a doubtful answer later: "I think it might be good... right?"

To be honest, this is not an answer. If Su badly told himself, he could use this kind of ambiguous answer.

As if he had seen through Su Huai, Qi Qi, who lay back on the bed and started playing the computer, turned over and faced the wall and said, "If you want to know how this drama is rated, you can just go to a special review website and watch it. After the broadcast is over, there should be many people discussing it.”

This reminded Su Huai.

Mu Qi had already taught Su Huai how to use the mobile phone to surf the Internet before, and although he didn't really understand the film and television forums that Mu Qi was talking about, he just searched along the entry to be sure.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and entered "Natsume's Book of Friends" on it.

Because of the broadcast of the new drama, there are obviously many more entries in this search than when Su Huaicha was broadcast last time, and the most popular or latest news will be pushed to the top of the entries.After browsing a few pages, Su Huai found a website called Rotten Banana, and retrieved the content of "Natsume's Book of Friends" in it.

First of all, it will have a cover, using the promotional poster of "Natsume's Book of Friends".

On the side of the poster there will be its audience rating and a count of the number of people who rated it.

Probably because this TV series has just finished broadcasting, there are not many people who rated it here, and the score is fixed at 8.2 points. He did find a lot of comments.

Just like what Qi Qi said just now, they seem to express the viewer's desire to express themselves, and the communication section at the bottom of the forum is refreshed rapidly.

Because the refreshing speed is too fast, Su Huai often clicks into a post, and when he exits, the post has been swiped three or four pages later.This made him have to find the target before shooting, instead of just looking for one and clicking in.

He took a look, and the content of the comments could be roughly divided into three types.

One is to simply give yourself the most intuitive evaluation.

For example, "Good-looking." "The story feels very warm." "There is a refreshing feeling." "Comfortable." "The male lead is very handsome." And so on.Of course, there are also counterexamples such as those who express bad looks, who don’t like the male protagonist, and who feel a bit sissy, but this kind of evaluation is like what I just said, it records the very subjective and brief feelings of the reviewers.

The second category is a bit more interesting.

They are usually fans of a certain character in the play (most of them are the protagonist Hiroshi), or sunspots, you know the content, how crazy the fans are, how brainless and crazy the sunspots can be, and such Posts are usually not very harmonious when clicked on. Often, two parties with different opinions ridicule each other, and then it turns into a war of saliva.

And the last one is also what Su Huai focuses on.

That's true, write your own senses, or the cognition of the composition of TV movies, into an after-view review, and every time you encounter someone like this who really summarizes and discusses the plot, the acting skills of the actors, and even the shooting techniques, Su Huai They will stop and watch, and read the content carefully.

Then learn, those things that he thinks are useful.

I have to say that there are a lot of these comments, but the content and level are uneven. Among them, the one that Su Huai appreciates the most is an article written by a guy called "Eat fish without spitting out fish bones".

Chapter 174 A Flat Start

Unlike the vast majority of articles that are either full of their own subjective will or look decent, the articles that eat fish but don't spit out fish bones are quite professionally written.

He analyzed this work in a simple way from the aspects of the character's image acting skills, scene layout, CG special effects and plot content, let us quote it briefly.

"Earlier I heard that JCSTAFF will shoot such a story of gods and monsters. From the previous "Strange Records of the Headless Horseman" and "Wine of Eternal Life", it proves that this company is very fond of this type of story.But after actually watching "Book of Friends", you will find that this is different from all the tone in the past.

This is not Ikebukuro, Tokyo, which is dark and full of crime, nor is it Italian-style shooting and betrayal.This is a story with bright colors and full of literary and artistic atmosphere created by the director.

While it's still unremarkable, it will also have yokai haunts—yes, mark my words, that's the theme.But in the spirit of no spoilers, I will only tell you that this has nothing to do with eerie horror. Instead, the characters in the play are all cute, and that strangeness is the most admirable part of this warm-hearted story embellishment. 』

Su Huai read the article about eating fish but not spitting out fish bones, and he could feel that he obviously knew a lot about TV and movies, as well as the actors.He can easily list Hiroshi's previous performance experience, as well as his strengths and weaknesses, and even some actors who Su Huai would have no idea who they are if he didn't read the cast list. He also said clearly, And pointedly pointed out the shortcomings of the other party.

He finally gave this work a tentative score of 70. (Scores can only be scored in multiples of 10, but the average score will reach single digits)

It's temporary because it's only the first episode, and users seem to be able to modify their ratings at any time.

Based on the 100-point scale, this is probably a fairly good result, but it is not to the extent that people can be particularly praised.

"As far as the first episode is concerned, although it is a bit clichéd, it does express what the director and screenwriters want to express, as well as the warm atmosphere.

I would say that Hiroshi was the right choice for the role of Takashi Natsume, because his elegant and melancholic temperament fits very well with the protagonist's experience.I can boldly assert that as long as this tone is maintained, the ratings of "Natsume's Book of Friends" will definitely not be bad, and it will even surpass some works of the same period. After all, there is usually a market for warm and magical stories.

But if you want to take it a step further - attract a larger audience.I think Hiroshi should focus on acting and develop something other than what he already has, while the director and crew should think more about the direction of the plot. Maybe I am worrying unfoundedly—but such an old-fashioned way of meeting coincides with the time. Yu's opening is okay, but if the subsequent plot is still so straightforward, it will make people feel boring. 』

After the comment is sent, it will naturally be seen by others, and the content of the reply is also very complicated.

Some, like Su Huai, think that eating fish but not spitting out fish bones is a good writing. Of course, some people think that he is just a clown who is just a sensationalist, and some people directly spray in the comment area because of some criticism or ridicule in his writing. Both.

Of course, this is the web.

People can say what they want without being responsible, but Su Huai still wants to express his approval and appreciation for the other party emotionally, so he not only likes the comment, but also publishes a small post-reading review.

Of course, this did not cause any waves in the vast torrent, just like "Friends Book".

Although many people are expecting "Natsume's Book of Friends" to be a hit, but the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, and it has always been like this.

The premiere performance of Natsume’s Book of Friends is not bad compared to the same period of time, and it is a little above average. However, whether it is compared with JCSTAFF’s own two previous works, or with the last one that succeeded Compared with other works, this result is not very good.

In the face of voices of criticism or doubt, director Omori and his "Natsume's Book of Friends" crew were very calm, even though Omori saw the news on the first page of Qiunan Film and Television Weekly while having breakfast.

He just glanced at the newspaper's eloquent comments indifferently, then folded them and jumped to the next one.

As the chief director and person in charge of this show, Omori must have known the results of the premiere earlier than the media, but this result is not particularly important to him.On the contrary, he deliberately came to him today, and the representative sent by the management sitting opposite him seemed a little impatient.

But he couldn't be too flustered, so he could only insinuate: "Director Omori, the results of the first broadcast have come out, and it should look pretty good. What do you think of the future trend of our drama?"

Damori raised his eyebrows, curled his lips hidden under the newspaper, but said calmly: "The results of the first broadcast are indeed quite mediocre, Mr. Du, please don't tease me. As for the future trend, if No, can I still have breakfast here in peace?"

"That means you have confidence?"

In fact, sometimes, people who invest in films don’t know much about movies and TV series. For them, investing in film and television is the same as investing in stocks, and the purpose is to make money for them.

So Omori will not go to the other party to say something earnestly. What was just aired is only the first episode, and the plot has not yet been revealed, or how exquisite our shooting techniques are, how are the special effects, etc., he will only say something that makes people laugh. Something the other party can understand.

"Mr. Du, have you ever heard of the law of three episodes?"

The manager representing the employer was at a loss for this new term that he had never been exposed to. Although he was unwilling to admit his ignorance, he could only shake his head in the end.

I just heard Omori say: "To put it simply, storytelling emphasizes a relationship of succession and transition, that is to say, some foreshadowing must be experienced, or it is precisely because of these foreshadowings that the most exciting climax can be ushered in. This is The law of three episodes."

"That is to say, will this drama also flourish in the third episode?" Although he was a bit confused, the management representative still summed up some things from Omori's words.

Omori put away the newspaper, wiped his mouth with a towel, and then stood up from the chair at the dining table.

He said firmly: "You are right, it starts from the third episode."

"Is this...reliable?"

The manager was a little uncertain, after all, he came here to find out the situation.

However, Omori is a little too confident. Is this really because he has a back trick, or is it just a simple perfunctory sentence?Sorry, the manager is also a little uncertain.

Omori smiled slightly, put his hand on the manager's shoulder, and left a sentence for him who hesitated: "I'm sure of this, you go back and tell them, [Let's wait and see.]"

Then he turned around and left the seat on the grounds of work, leaving only the manager with a confused face. After watching Omori leave, he took out his mobile phone and contacted his employer.

Chapter 175 The Source of Faith

"What is the three-episode rule? He's just talking nonsense, teasing you that you don't understand the plot at all! "Natsume's Book of Friends" is a unit drama with an independent plot for each episode. It's the three-episode rule that tells you what to do."

The manager made a phone call, but what he received was not a compliment for his ability in doing things, but a roar like a storm: "Damn it, you are completely played!"

"But he really said that." The manager still said innocently.

And before his voice could be completely transmitted, the phone was cut off.

The mobile phone—to be precise, the ear-worn communication device was pulled out of the man's ear and thrown out. David sat down on the sofa angrily, sulking with his legs resting.

David is one of the investors of "Natsume's Book of Friends". Generally speaking, in the production of modern movies and TV shows, several investors will be found to jointly fund to avoid risks.This is the case with the Brain's Base company represented by David. In this production, they are responsible for assisting and publishing. In a sense, the division of labor is actually different from that of Omori and the others, and there is no overlap.
