Actor's Road

Chapter 25 Seto Inland Sea

In May, after a rare two-day break, Anyang came to Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture to shoot the movie "Seto Inland Sea".

"Seto Inland Sea" is adapted from the manga of the same name by Komoto and Tsuya. Although the name is "Seto Inland Sea", it has nothing to do with the narrow strait located in Honshu and Shikoku. This is a story about a Kansai high school student chatting and complaining by the river after school, spending his youth carelessly.It is an alternative youth film that looks strange at first glance, without blood, sports, or love, but when you think about it carefully, it represents everyone's youth.

An Yang played the role of Nei Hai Xiang, a cold-looking man with glasses in the movie. He is a cool-headed guy with good grades and high self-esteem.Suda Masaki played the role of Seto Kokichi who was kicked out of the football club by a related household in the movie and has nothing to do. He is a passionate and impulsive faction who is easily mobilized.

The story is triggered by Seto's sentence "Who are you?"

Neihai had two hours of free time between school and cram school in the afternoon, so he chose to sit by the river in a daze.One day, Seto, who was kicked out of the football club, wandered bored to the river and struck up a conversation with the inner sea, which started the two people's daily chats by the river.The topics of the two range from the kitten at home, to the parents who have a bad relationship, to the girl they like... These seemingly boring and empty chats have become an indispensable part of their high school life.

At the beginning, the director planned to cast Anyang as Seto Kokichi, but Anyang was more interested in Utsumi, who had the opposite personality.After chatting with An Yang, the director finally agreed to let An Yang play the gentle and taciturn Nei Hai.

Because the film needs to use Kansai language to speak lines, Anyang specifically asked Yang Yueming, who was born in Kansai, for advice.This also gave him the opportunity to successfully persuade Yang Yueming to accompany him to shoot in Osaka under the pretext of "asking for pronunciation".

Since Anyang went to Huaguo to film "Kunlun" last year, the two have never been together for a long time.In the past six months, although Yang Yueming didn't work much, in order to let Anyang feel at ease about filming, she only went to Huaguo to visit a few shifts quietly, and didn't stay for a long time.The longest meeting between the two recently was during the 15 Spring Festival, when Anyang took a five-day break.The two spent their New Years in An's family. An's father is a businessman and An's mother is a middle school music teacher. They are very kind and friendly, but Yang Yueming is still very nervous and fails to get along well with Anyang.Therefore, this time Anyang asked her to give him special training in Kansai dialect, she hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.It just so happens that the movie "Showa 64" and the TV series "Accompaniment of the Darkness" that she participated in the filming recently have finished filming, and the SP "Actresses of Misunderstandings" will not start until mid-May, so she packed her luggage , happily went to Osaka with my boyfriend.

"Showa 64" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Hideo Yokoyama. The main actor is Koichi Sato, and the supporting roles include Go Ayano, Masatoshi Nagase, Eita, Masataka Kubota, Tomokazu Miura and other well-known actors. It is rare in the island country in recent years. The big production movie is divided into two parts.

Showa 64 is 1989. Since the 124th emperor passed away on January 1989, 1, Showa 7 was only 64 days short.In Showa 7, which ended in just 7 days, there was an unresolved kidnapping and murder case of a girl. Fourteen years later, just before the culprit in this case was about to pass the "statute of limitations", even if he was found, he would not be sanctioned, a similar kidnapping case occurred.The police | who participated in the investigation of the case back then, the victim's father, and the reporter were all involved.

Yang Yueming plays the hero's subordinate in the movie, the policeman Mei|yun who works in the advertising room.Although it was three episodes, there were not many scenes. All her scenes in this movie were filmed for less than ten days.

The original novel is very profound, and the movie lineup is also very strong, but Yang Yueming is not optimistic about the box office of "Showa 64".

The main line of the film is two kidnapping cases separated by 14 years. There are two main hidden lines, one is the confrontation between the organization and the individual, and the other is the confrontation between the police and the reporter. In addition, there are fatherly love and conflict between father and daughter. , Colleague conflicts and other branch lines, the main line and the branch lines are intertwined with each other. In the limited space, the director does not want to let go of every line, and wants to express it. Coupled with the delicate and foreshadowing characteristics of island country movies, the rhythm of this movie is very strange. The last 10 minutes of the first part finally made the audience feel ignited. As a result, the rhythm slowed down again at the beginning of the second part. After more than 200 minutes The foreshadowing, until the final climax, can no longer attract the audience.

Many island country movies have the disadvantages of slow rhythm and too long foreshadowing. In 2011, Yang Yueming was originally scheduled to star in the film "The Crow's Thumb", which was finally unable to appear due to his mother's surgery.Yang Yueming liked the original "The Crow's Thumb" very much, but she couldn't act in it due to personal reasons at that time, so she went to the theater to support the movie when it was released.The movie is 140 minutes long, and it is a family movie dressed in suspense.Calm down and watch it carefully, people will feel, "Ah, it's a good movie!", "So the previous plot has a special meaning", "By the way, there is a small foreshadowing in front of it", but it's a pity It is because most of the audience did not have the patience to spend more than two hours digging out these foreshadowing and details.

When Yang Yueming said this, Anyang also had a deep understanding.The movie "Embracing the Golden Fly" that won him his first acting award also has this problem.The main line of the movie is to rob the vault, but the 120-minute movie doesn't get to the point until two-thirds of the time has passed.Movies cannot be said to be bad movies, but in this fast food era, such slow-paced movies simply cannot attract audiences to watch.

The TV series "The Walker in the Darkness" is a spring drama of WOWOW TV station, with a total of five episodes. It officially started filming in mid-March, and the filming was completed in mid-April.This TV series tells the story of the one-year anniversary of the death of manga master Ajima Fumiya, who found an unpublished manuscript in his studio. Ajima's wife commissioned investigator Yuki Mizuno to investigate whether the manuscript was made by Ajima. With the efforts of Mizuno and manga editor Daigo Shinji, the truth of the serial disappearances of women 35 years ago gradually surfaced...

This is the first time Yang Yueming has starred in a TV series after two and a half years after "Special National Tax Collector". The official announcement caused a sensation.

At that time, when choosing the spring drama to star in, Yang Yueming hesitated between this drama and Fujitai Yuejiu drama "Welcome to My Home". The agency suggested that she choose Yuejiu drama. The Yuejiu drama is more conducive to her comeback in the series, but Yang Yueming prefers the script of "The Walker of Darkness". Although "The Walker of Darkness" is a TV series broadcast on the pay station, the plot design is ingenious and introduces a lot of knowledge about comics. Two famous cartoonists, Junji Ito and Keiichi Tanaka, are also invited to ghostwrite the comics in the play , made with great care.

================================================== =============================

An Yang returned to the hotel dragging his butt that had become numb from sitting on the steps by the river for a day, only to find his girlfriend holding her chin with both hands, smiling silly.

"What are you thinking about? So preoccupied?" Anyang chose to lie down on the bed and let his butt rest for a while.

"Is it so exaggerated?" Yang Yueming asked Anyang looking at Anyang's miserable expression.

"You try to sit by the river for a day." Anyang was dissatisfied. More than 90.00% of "Seto Inland Sea" is the story of Seto and Inland Sea sitting and chatting by the river. Although during the rehearsal, the crew will prepare cushions for Anyang and Masaki Suda, but after sitting for five days in a row, the two still sit together Ass hurts. "When I think that I'm only halfway through shooting now, and I have to shoot for several more days, I'm in a bad mood." An Yang wailed.

"Okay, then I'll rub it for you." As soon as Yang Yueming started, Anyang let out a scream, "Please let my ass stay alone!"

The two quarreled for a while, and Anyang brought up the topic again.

"I'm reading the script of "Actresses of Misunderstandings". Mr. Masuno has a really big brain." The screenwriter of "Actresses of Misunderstandings" is called Sheng Yeyingzhi, whose stage name is foolism, and is mainly a comedian. Sideline screenwriter.Many comedians in the island country are very talented. They can write, act, host, and be funny. They are all-round.

"Actresses by Mistakes" is a short story SP scheduled to be broadcast by Fuji TV in June.Yang Yueming, Maki Yoko, and Mizukawa Asami, three young actresses who are now in full swing in the Japanese film and television industry, each have a series of shining titles under their names.But is there such a possibility, if they all failed in the fateful audition, what kind of story would happen?

Yotsuki Akira was born on June 1988, 6 in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. In 18, he entered the showbiz by participating in the TV "My Dad is an Idol" audition. In 1996, he became the youngest Cannes actress in history with the movie "Nobody Knows". In 2003, he won the Singapore International Film Award for the movie "Tokyo Boy". Best Actress Award, from 2007 to 2011 with the movie "The Cicada of the Eighth Day", won the best of 2012 film festivals, including the Yamaji Fumiko Film Award, the Shimuni Hochi Film Award, the Ten Best Film Awards, and the Shimuni Film Blue Ribbon Award. Outstanding Lead Actress Award, also won the Asia Pacific Film Awards Best Actress Award, in 8 with the film "Even if I know I will fail, I will not give up" won the Island Film Academy Award, the Daily Film Award and other film festivals for the best Supporting Actress Award.In addition, he also starred in popular TV series such as "Attention Please" ("Sweetheart Stewardess"), "LiarGame" ("Fraud Game"), "CodeBlue" ("Emergency Help").But what if Yang Yueming hadn't participated in the audition for "My Dad Is an Idol" in 2014?

In March 2011, after graduating from university, Yang Yueming joined a publishing house in Tokyo and became a new manga editor.

When the time came to May 2013, Yoko Sanaki, who loves acting, could still only play some small supporting roles who didn’t even show her face. The Daily Journal Yoko Maki was published.Asami Mizukawa is often ridiculed by Nao Shiraishi, who has become famous at the same time. When she was angry, she met Yoko Maki.Yang Yueming, a newcomer editor at a publishing house, received her first project since she started working, and published "Daily Journal Yoko Maki". She was not optimistic about this book, and she inadvertently had an intersection with Yoko Maki and Asami Mizukawa. .They unknowingly affect each other's fate...

"If I don't become an actor, will I become a photographer or an illustrator? I think it's a bit reluctant to be a cartoonist, and my script writing is average. But the bigger possibility is that I will probably go to school step by step, get a job, and then become a Reporter or editor!" Yang Yueming began to imagine.

Anyang also became interested, "If you want to become a reporter or editor, how can we meet? If you go to interview me, we should have an intersection, right?"

"How is it possible? I should become a reporter for the social edition! Do you want to be on the news for the social edition?"

"Then we won't have a chance to get to know each other?" An Yang was a little unhappy.

Yang Yueming was keenly aware of Anyang's emotional changes, and changed his tone, "No, I might also go to Huaguo to study. Do you remember that I said that I acted in a TV series in Huaguo? I was in that TV series. The character in the movie is an overseas student."

"Then I won't come to the island country to study abroad. I will go to a sports university. I guess it's a little bit reluctant to be an athlete, but I can be a sports reporter. This way, I will still be with you."

Seeing Anyang's serious expression, Yang Yueming's heart warmed up. Although he was joking at first, he was seriously thinking about how the two could meet again like this.How lucky it is to have such a boy, even in the parallel world, who is still willing to meet, know and love you.
