Chapter 116 Choice of Actors

As the saying goes, three years apples and five years pears.

Although buying an apple and a pear on the market is a simple matter that cannot be simple, planting a fruit tree is much more troublesome. You have to choose soil and seedlings, start cultivation from the seedling stage and take good care of it. Even if it finally succeeds in blooming and bear fruit, you don’t know whether the fruit is sweet or sour. The whole process can be said to be an extremely long and cumbersome thing, and it is also accompanied by risks.

Ye Zhao felt that making a movie is similar to planting this fruit tree. Writing a script is equivalent to buying saplings. Contacting the studio and the location is to choose the right soil. Yukihiko Tetsu and the technicians are planting consultants. When the "this fruit tree" successfully blossoms and bears fruits, they must also go through the sales channel of the movie distribution company and eventually be sent to the shelves of convenience stores and fruit and vegetable stores.

The original movie "I heard that Kirishima wants to withdraw from the Ministry of Education" was filmed at the Kochi City Chuo High School in Shikoku. However, from Tokyo to Kochi City, it takes one and a half hours to take the plane, and nearly nine hours to take the train. There is also a transfer in the middle. If you take the night bus, it will be a terrible eleven and a half hours.

Not only can the time required in the middle not be able to afford it, but the cost of the round trip is also extremely huge. Even the cheapest night bus, a one-way ticket costs 12,500 yen. Considering the cost of the back and forth of the actors and crew, Ye Zhao decisively chose to give up his plan to move closer to the original work and honestly connected the school around the Tokyo Circle and the central region.

"In short, it's better to be a country school. It's better to have a little bit of dilapidation. On the 20th, colleges and universities will start summer vacation one after another. At that time, I hope the other party can lend the school to our crew for a one-month training camp... Of course, it's not necessary to live there all month. Classrooms, club activity rooms, playgrounds and rooftops. I hope that the facilities in the school can be provided for us. It would be better if the students can come to help as extras. In short, there are only so many conditions. If it's really hard to find a place nearby, the central region can also consider it." Ye Zhao conveyed his request to Takeda Toshi, who was responsible for contacting the appropriate school.

This task is not difficult. It is easy to find a school to go out for a location. Every year, the school is an indispensable location. In Tokyo, there are almost schools that exist specifically for shooting.

However, it would not be easy to find a school where the crew can conduct training for a month, the facilities are dilapidated, and students can help as extras. Takeda Toshi took over the task and took two new staff recruited by the firm after the upgrade, and inquire about it.

Ye Zhao who stayed behind was not to be a hand-off manager, but there was another difficult task waiting for him, that was to organize an audition for the main actors. It was hard to cook without rice, let alone a crew without actors.

The stage of the movie "I heard that Kirishima wants to retire" takes place in high school and takes club activities as the main line, so except for the few teachers who serve as supporting roles, all other roles are high school students. Therefore, in the selection of actors, those who are very clear about the goal are young girls who are not over 20 years old. As for the teacher's actors, they only need to be selected from the senior supporting roles who often appear in TV series.

Of course, if the actor's image is appropriate, it is okay to relax your age appropriately. After all, in the original movie, Masao Toidei, who played Kikuchi Hiroki, was already twenty-four years old at that time.

The title of "Tong Island" in the title "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire" is like waiting for Godot in Godot. Although everyone is looking for Kirishima, it has never appeared from beginning to end.

As for other roles, the more important ones are the wasteful film minister Ryoya Maeda, a member of the baseball department, the rich and handsome Kikuchi Hiroki who has the best relationship with Kikuchi, and the badminton department member Kashi Hiroki Hiroki who is quietly paid attention to by Kikuchi, and Miyabe Shiko, Hiroki Hiroki, a teammate of Hiroki Hiroki, who is always waiting for Kikuchi's girlfriend Risa Iida, and Sana, who always sticks to her boyfriend Kikuchi Hiroki, but can only get a response without being salty and unpretentious. She always silently pays attention to Kikuchi Hiroki's wind club Aya Nagasawajima.

Although at first glance, the protagonist of the movie should be Ryoya Maeda, because most of the plot is presented to the audience through his eyes, even the only youthful sentence in the whole movie, "Fight, this is our world. Because we have to live in this world." He also said it.

But Ye Zhao felt that the real protagonist of this movie was Hiroki Kikuchi. He had a good relationship with Kirishima. He was in the same cram school and was the person who was most affected in this storm of Kirishima's retreat. His focus revolved around Kirishima. He was used to following Kirishima. After Kirishima disappeared, the empty nature of life was immediately reflected.

Ryo Maeda is more like an ideal character in youth films. Although he is a waste in the eyes of everyone, he has precious qualities that no one else can have. No matter what the outside world does, he always pursues his dreams at his own pace. The character of Hiroki Kikuchi is the projection of absurd youth in the whole story. Therefore, when Ryo Maeda praised him for being "really handsome", Hiroki Kikuchi shed tears, because everything he has is just such an empty shell.

In terms of Ryoya Maeda's candidate, the best candidate in Tsuki Yukihiko's heart is definitely Takamoto. Even if Ye Zhao is ahead, he does not intend to let a shiny popular idol play the role of a waste.

Yukihiko Tsuki disagreed with Ye Zhao's view. After all, it is difficult to fully match the actor's image and the role he plays. Louis Koo's ordinary appearance is really not a joke? Do you believe that Kyoko Fukada has no boyfriend, no job, no savings? How could Yui Aragaki be unnecessarily needed? How could the veteran driver Hoshino Gen is an older brother?

However, if you really find an older brother who is not in a normal appearance, is not needed, has no partner, has no job, no savings, and will be a disaster.

No matter how it is said, Yukihiko Tsuki still knows that it is unrealistic to hire Tomoto.
