313 [Planning a new film]
After the press conference, everyone took a bus to the hotel.
"Brother Tian, did I say the wrong thing just now?" Wang Qixian asked Xia Tian with some concern.
"No." Xia Tian shook his head and said, "You are right to say that. Look, as soon as you say that, the reporters' interest comes, so they are excited to interview you and report you. On the contrary, if you say 'no', wouldn't it block this road? Then how can you continue to interview?"
"Oh." After hearing what he said, Wang Qixian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Kakugawa, I have two movies to be filmed in Japan in the future. I hope you can provide me with some help." After Xia Tian comforted Wang Shixian, he said to Haruki Kakugawa again.
"No problem, are you and I friends? Just tell me if you have anything, I won't charge you more money." Haruki Kakugawa said righteously, which made Xia Tian speechless. The little Japanese is really cunning, and he doesn't want to lose at all. His bones are full of small plots that are very serious.
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to help you in vain." He waved his hand and said.
"That's good. By the way, what do you want me to do for you?" Haruki Kakugawa suddenly laughed proudly when he heard Xia Tian say this.
"You can help me find the outdoor location first." Xia Tian thought for a while, "I need a beach covered with reefs and harsh terrain; a beautiful resort with accommodation; an old-fashioned well built in the house; a long straight road..."
When Kakugawa Haruki heard what Xia Tian said, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, "Xia Sang, what movie are you going to make?"
"Make a money-making movie." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"..." Kakugawa Haruki glanced at Xia Tian speechlessly, "Okay, do you need anything else?"
"You can do this first. Let's talk about something else. I guess I'll prepare for this movie and the next movie will be almost done." Xia Tian waved his hand and said,
The drama "Love Letter" requires a blockbuster snow scene, which can only be filmed in winter. Now it is useless even if Kakugawa Haruki goes to find it.
"Okay, leave it to me." Haruki Kakugawa nodded.
"Brother Tian, what movie do you want to make in Japan?" Wang Qixian asked curiously.
"I want to make a horror movie and another romance movie." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Wow, it's so awesome! Is there any share for me?" Wang Xian asked in anticipation when he heard this. She had tried the horror movie and wanted to try it.
"No." Xia Tian simply shook his head.
In "Love Letter", Fujii Kiki and Watanabe Hiroko are both adults, and they are at least twenty-five years old. There is still a love affair that is separated by life and death, so the heroine should appear vicissitudes and mature, making people look like a woman with a story.
Wang Xiaoxian is only eighteen years old now, and she is in her prime and carefree age. If she wants her to play the heroine, she will lose in terms of appearance and temperament. As for her acting skills, Wang Xiaoxian is now just a beautiful vase. Although she is very hardworking, she is still inexperienced and cannot play the heroine's love affair.
The heroine of "Midnight Bell" is a single mother with a four-year-old child. If Wang Shixian was asked to play this role, it would be a joke.
Moreover, the movie "Midnight Bell" actually has many sexual and hinting scenes. For example, the heroine asks her son to help her skirt zipper; for example, the heroine sticks out her butt and watches the video tape; even the Mizuki where Sadako is located symbolizes the woman's words. (There is a post in Tianya that explains this in detail. Interested book lovers can look for it.)
So what this movie requires is a very womanly heroine. The heroine of the original "Midnight Bell" is Matsushima Nako, who can be called the "Queen of Japanese Drama". Not to mention the high acting skills, her appearance and temperament are also gentle and elegant, beautiful and charming, and full of femininity.
Although Wang Xiaoxian is beautiful, he is still very immature. He looks like girls more than women, so it is not appropriate to let her act. Of course, she can also play a female high school student in the film, but this is too useless.
Seeing Xia Tian rejecting him so neatly, Wang Xiaoxian couldn't help but pouted angrily, "Hmph! Why didn't there?"
"The role is really not suitable. Besides, you still have a movie that has not been filmed in the second half of the year. How can you come to Japan with me for filming?" Xia Tian explained with a smile.
He had previously written a script for Hong Jingbao, "The Big Speaker", and there was a shortage of a heroine in that movie. Xia Tian had greeted Hong Jingbao before and was scheduled to play the heroine. The filming of that drama will start in the second half of the year, and there is really no time to accompany him to Japan.
"Okay." After hearing what he said, Wang Qixian had no choice but to nod.
...
"Xiasan, we will participate in the Tokyo TV program at 8 o'clock in the evening, go to Yokohama to hold a handshake meeting tomorrow morning, participate in the Yokohama Radio program at noon, and rush to Nagoya in the afternoon..." After returning to the hotel, Haruki Kakugawa read out the publicity plan to Xia Tian again. Basically, four days and three nights in Japan were all arranged in full.
Looking at the itinerary, Wang Qixian couldn't help but frown, "Why is it so full? I thought I could have fun in Japan! Now it's all gone!"
"Don't be angry! Let's do this. After the publicity is over, I will spend two more days with you in Japan and have a good time playing." Xia Tian thought for a while.
This itinerary is indeed a little squeezed, but the movie promotion is like this. It must be carried out in full swing to maintain a certain popularity. Otherwise, if it is delayed for one day, the publicity effect may be greatly reduced.
"Forget it, let's find an opportunity in the future. "Best Bad Friend" is about to be finished in a few scenes, and now I am missing the heroine. If I play in Japan for one more day, they will have to wait for one more day. It would be so embarrassing to let so many people wait for me alone." Wang Shixian waved his hand sensibly.
After hearing what she said, Xia Tian nodded with relief, "Okay, I will definitely take you to Japan for a good trip if I have the chance in the future."
"Yeah." Hearing that he said, Wang Qixian also laughed in anticipation.
"Xia Sang, please hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. I'll treat you to dinner at six o'clock. It's authentic Japanese cuisine." Haruki Kakugawa said with a smile again.
Xia Tian was stunned. Haruki Kakugawa was so good at calculating that he would treat him to dinner if he was very particular.
"Okay!" Xia Tian simply responded, since someone invited her to dinner, why not go there.
...
After taking a shower, changing clothes, everyone followed Haruki Kakugawa out.
Half an hour later, Haruki Kakugawa led him to a noisy barbecue restaurant.
Judging from the size of the store, the decoration inside, and the clothes of customers, it doesn’t look like a luxurious restaurant. It’s more like a place visited by the lower-level people, and its status is probably the same as that of a tea restaurant in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Kakugawa, is this the authentic Japanese restaurant you mentioned?" Xia Tian asked speechlessly.
"Don't doubt Xia Sang, this restaurant has a history of hundreds of years. The eel rice and sushi they make are delicious. The most famous here is barbecue, which will definitely make you praise after eating it." Haruki Kakugawa said with a smile.
Seeing that he said this restaurant so well, Xia Tian thought that the Japanese Kobe beef was indeed famous, and he couldn't help but nod, wanting to taste it or two.
Several people found a seat and sat down, and then the clerk stepped forward with the menu.
"Mr. Kakugawa, we don't know much about this Japanese cuisine, so please ask you to order it for us." Xia Tian took the menu and saw that it was basically full of Japanese words like ghost-painted talismans. He frowned and handed the menu back to Kakugawa.
"Okay, I'll cover it with me." Kakugawa Haruki smiled, then got up one by one.
"Mr. Kakugawa, I heard that your Japanese Kobe beef is good. Can you let us taste it too?" Xia Tian asked with a smile again.
"Actually, Kobe beef is no different from ordinary beef. The reason why it sells expensive is just because of good publicity." Haruki Kakugawa's face changed, and then explained with a smile, "We just need to eat ordinary wagyu beef. As long as the chef is careful, it will taste good."
When Xia Tian saw his expression, he knew that he was not sincere. It must be because Kobe beef is expensive, so he dare not invite them to eat. He is really stingy.
"Since that's the case, I won't force it." He smiled, not exposing Haruki Kakugawa's lies, but his evaluation of him was lowered in his heart.
...
Soon all kinds of dishes were delivered one after another.
Everyone tasted it. Although it was not very delicious, it tasted good, so everyone had a great time.
At this moment, I heard a noise in the hall.
Xia Tian looked over and saw two men arguing.
One of them was holding a TV remote control in his hand, while the other was competing with him for the remote control.
"Mr. Kakugawa, what are they fighting for?" Xia Tian asked curiously.
Haruki Kakugawa listened carefully, then smiled awkwardly and explained, "I'm fighting to watch which TV station's cartoon."
"No, so childish?! Isn't cartoons just for children?" Wang Qixian burst out laughing when he heard this. He really didn't understand that cartoons were so childish, so what was good to watch. It was ridiculous for two big men to argue about watching cartoons.
"Miss Wang, you don't understand. In our Japan, cartoons are all that are both men, women, and young." Haruki Kakugawa explained with a smile when he saw Wang Shiken say this.
"Is it true or false?" Wang Qixian was a little unbelievable. Men, women, young and old like to watch cartoons, isn't it too incredible?!
"It's true." Xia Tian nodded. In Japan, cartoons are indeed loved by everyone and have developed into a very developed industry.
