Actor's Road

Chapter 6 Compromise and Reality

After happily filming the finale scene, Anyang took out his mobile phone and found that Anda had sent him a message, asking him to return to the company after today's filming.

As soon as he returned to the company, Adachi told Anyang the good news with great excitement, "NTV plans to launch a live-action SP of the manga "Ranma 1/2" in the fall, starring Akane Akane and Yui Aragaki, and they intend to let you play the role Saotome Ranma! It’s really great! The leading role is Yui Aragaki! You can play with Gakki, Anjun, I think you are going to be popular!” No wonder Adachi was excited, Yui Aragaki has been with the movie "Love in the Sky" since 2007 After becoming popular, it has been very popular in recent years.

SP is the abbreviation of SpecialPart, which means special articles.Because island country TV dramas are broadcast on a quarterly basis, there will inevitably be a gap between seasons. The common SP is to make up for these gaps. It is broadcast at the beginning or end of each quarter, and the time ranges from one hour to It varies from three hours, with one episode, two episodes, and sometimes three episodes.

The common SPs are the extra stories of popular TV series, such as the TV series "Attention Please" ("Sweetheart Stewardess") and "Symphonic Lover Dream". Some novels or comics have been tested in TV dramas, such as the single episode SP of "Strawberry Night" launched in the fall of 2010. The ratings and reputation were very good, so the TV station launched a series of TV dramas in the winter of 2012; the third is to promote the movie .In island countries, the relationship between TV stations and film production companies is very close, and even many large film production companies and TV stations still have a mutual shareholding relationship, so they will make the plots that cannot be shown due to the length of the movie into SP—sometimes prequels , sometimes it is a post-biography, or it is a biography of a certain main character-it will be broadcast on TV stations during the film's release to play a role in publicity; fourth, some novels that are not long enough to shoot a TV series will also be filmed. SP, such as "Keigo Higashino's Three-Week Continuous SP", is to choose Keigo Higashino's three plots that are not enough to be filmed into a TV series. Three SPs were filmed.The fifth is the special planning of some comics, such as the 2006th anniversary live-action SP of Conan launched in 1.The "Ranma 2/[-] Live SP" this time belongs to the last category.

Hearing Anda's words, Anyang was also a little excited.This is the first time he has been directly invited by a TV station to play a role. Before that, he was either recommended by the firm to participate in the audition—such as the audition for "GOLD"; or the firm and the producer have basically confirmed that he will play the role. For a certain role, you only need to participate in a formal interview with the producer, director, screenwriter, etc.—such as "New Participants", "Boys and Girls Over Flowers 2011" and so on.And this is also the first time he has received a second role. "New Participants" only appeared in one episode. Although there are five episodes in "GOLD", not only does it not have as many roles as Tori Matsuzaka who plays the older brother, but it is not as good as the younger sister Saki Takei who has a romantic relationship.Afterwards, Chaoqiu Wei, one of the good friends of the leading actor in the movie "Newcomers in High School", was also in the fifth episode, but the total number of scenes was less than 10 minutes, and the shooting time was only a short week.Then he starred four times in TV Asahi's 2011th drama "March of Asuka Kogo High School" in the spring of 11. The male third, Takeuchi Kazuya, is an excellent student with a bright mind but a distorted personality, because he wants to prove to his father that even if he is bad The high school students can still be admitted to a good university and deliberately enter Asuka High School to study. The character design is very good, but because of the length of time, after being "raided" by the heroine, it becomes a background board, which has no impression Deep scenes.

"Wait! I remember reading Ranma's comics when I was a child. The male protagonist will transform into a girl, right?" An Yang suddenly reacted.

Anda nodded, "That's right, the producer specially invited you because of your delicate, unisex appearance."

"You mean I want to play a girl?" An Yang's complexion changed. Since he was a child, he was often called a mother because of his appearance, so he actually minded playing a girl and wearing women's clothing. Before that, in the second episode of "Boys and Girls Over Flowers 2011" There is a plot in which boys open a maid cafe and wear maid costumes during the school festival. Anyang resisted this plot at the beginning, but because this plot is not very important, and it is not necessary for all boys to wear maid costumes, so in After Anyang expressed his wish to "don't want to wear a skirt", the director didn't force him and let him escape. "I don't want to act."

"That's right, with this role...wait a minute! What did you say?" Anda was surprised.

"I don't want to play a girl." An Yang repeated.

Adachi looked at him in confusion, "I didn't ask you to play a girl! Saotome Ranma is a boy."

"But you have to dress up as a girl." Anyang insisted.

Adachi still didn't understand, "This is acting, what's the matter? I didn't ask you to play your girl. Saotome Ranma is a boy, but when you encounter cold water, your body will turn into a girl, and your heart, character, and behavior are still boys. of."

"Eh?" An Yang said with a face that you made sense and I couldn't refute it.

Seeing that Anyang no longer insisted on rejecting the show, Anda waved his hand, "You go back today and think about it." After Anyang turned around, he said, "I won't tell Mr. Harada what happened today, but I will I hope you can think carefully before making a decision, and don’t ruin your future.” The management companies in the island country have a lot of power over artists, and many big-name artists do not necessarily have the right to independently choose scripts and roles.Compared with other firms, AMUSE is a more humanized company for its artists, but this humanization is also based on the fact that you can create benefits for the company.If Anyang is really determined to refuse to act in "Ranma 1/2 Real-life SP" this time and annoy the upper management of the company, then the situation he finally opened with "Boys and Girls Over Flowers 2011" will be ruined, and what's more. Or, if the company plans to abandon him, then his acting career is almost over.Anda currently has only two artists under his command, Anyang and Nomura Shuhei, both of whom are still playing supporting roles, but now it is obvious that Anyang is more popular than Nomura Shuhei. It can be said that Adachi and Anyang are currently in a relationship of both prosperity and loss. He naturally I don't want Anyang to ruin his future.

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

Confused, Anyang and Wen Suyu complained in the video, "Do you think I should pretend to be a girl?"

Wen Suyu was speechless, "Dude, what are you struggling with? Aren't you an actor? Aren't actors supposed to perform all the roles entrusted to them? Playing a girl is so challenging." He analyzed rationally, "Speak seriously , This time is really a good opportunity. Didn’t you say that when you signed the contract with the company, you wanted to play the leading role? Maybe this time is the opportunity for you to play the leading role! Now that you have chosen to work hard in a foreign country, no Do you have the nerve to go back to China?"

"That's right." An Yang thoughtfully, "Forget it, let's take it as experiencing a different life! I experienced the life of a vocational high school when filming "March of Asuka High School", and experienced it again when filming "Boys and Girls Over Flowers 2011" Living in an all-boys school, and mistakenly thinking that I am gay, now it’s okay to experience the body of a girl and the heart of a man!"

"That's right!" Wen Suyu looked relieved, "Ah, by the way, after you become famous, remember to ask me for Oguri Shun's autographed photo. That girl Qin Qing didn't know what she was thinking. "Flowers" was not enjoyable after that, so I watched the 2007 edition again, and I fell in love with Shun Oguri."

This turned Anyang's moved face into an unlovable face in seconds, "Get out of here! I knew you had bad intentions!"

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

The next day, An Yang, who had figured it out, came to the brokerage company to apologize to Anda, and said that he would cherish this opportunity.Anyang understood that no matter what An Da's purpose was, he really helped him in this matter.Because of a momentary dispute, it is very unwise to conflict with the agent.

"Anjun, it's best if you can figure it out." Anda patted Anyang on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Opportunities are rare. Do you know how many artists in the island country enter this circle a year, and how many artists can seize the opportunity to succeed? Is it popular? How many of them can continue to be popular after becoming popular? Let’s not talk about it, how many young actors are there in our agency? If you don’t want to play the role of Ranma, there will be a lot of people who will be crushed. I want to play."

"Brother Anda, thank you for your suggestion. I understand." Anyang thanked Anda.

Anda nodded, "It's not just this time, I hope you can seize the opportunity in the future."

Anyang raised his head to look at Anda, always feeling that Anda was acting weird today.

Seeing Anyang's puzzled eyes, Anda finally said, "Anjun, it's like this, I just received a call from the staff of NTV, and they decided that two people will play Saotome Ranma, and you will play the boy Ranma. Girls Ranma is starring an actress."

Anyang's heart beat faster and his palms began to sweat, "Brother Anda, what's going on? Could it be me..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Anda thought about Anyang's words, and comforted him, "It was LesPros who rejected the proposal of Ranma before and after you came out."

After Anda's explanation, Anyang understood the twists and turns.Ranma's original work is a manga with a male protagonist, but the leading role of the SP to be filmed now is undoubtedly Yui Aragaki, which means that the SP will change from a male protagonist to a female protagonist.But if Anyang played two "roles" by himself, he would definitely overwhelm Yui Aragaki in terms of the role and the degree of excellence of the role.Therefore, Aragaki Yui's agency LesPros thinks it is more appropriate to find two actors, one male and one female, to play Ranma.

Looking at Anyang who was silent with his head down, Anda comforted him, "Don't be depressed, keep your spirits up, even if your roles are reduced now, you are still the actor with the most roles, and you also have emotional scenes with the heroine, by the way, This is your first time acting in an emotional scene, right? How is it? Do you have any emotional experience?"

The diverted topic indicates that this matter is a foregone conclusion.But this is the first time that Anyang has deeply felt the sorrow of a newcomer who is not popular.This is the reality, sometimes you compromise, you may not succeed.

The author has something to say: I didn’t black Gakki, but I blacked out the lace.

The writing of this plot is a bit twisted, which is a problem set by me.The original intention was to write that Anyang hated being called a girl by others, and hated men disguised as women, but it didn't seem like this feeling was written, but it would make people feel that Anyang was a bit vexatious.
