The redness on the Great Condor's face was still there, and while he was arranging his clothes, he walked towards the door. By the way, he tightened his collar, as if those evil hands were still around him.
"The recording is finished."
"Um."
When she went downstairs, she saw Sato Shizuka waiting for her in the lobby. Shizuka Sato came forward.
"Sato-san, where shall we go later?" the great condor asked.
"Funfu Co., Ltd."
"Eh?"
The big condor that was walking towards the door paused and stayed where it was.
"Where's Kore-eda-san?"
"Hi."
"What the hell!" After receiving the confirmed information, the Great Condor took another step, but accelerated a bit. "Why is it so fast? I thought it would be a few weeks."
"We don't have so much time. Kore-eda-san could have started filming long ago. We were just waiting for the role of Asano Suzu." Sato Shizuka jogged a few steps to catch up with the great condor who was walking in front. "And didn't I tell you last time that I am going to Fenfu Co., Ltd. for a script discussion today."
"Did you say...?" The Great Condor made a long sound, searching for key words in his mind.
"As I said, that's the day you asked me if Hashimoto-san was injured."
The Great Condor thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, but at that time because he was too worried about Nana Hashimoto, everything Shizuka Sato said to her later had been thrown into the trash can.
"Bad thing..." The Great Condor blamed himself.
When she received the script, she already knew who the other three co-stars were, Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa and Kaho. These people are all regulars on TV. Da Shenying has often watched TV, TV series and movies since she was a child. She just didn't expect to be able to cooperate with them so quickly, and she herself was frightened.
The car was already waiting at the door. The two got in the car and drove slowly in one direction.
Along the way, the two of them didn't say anything. Ever since Sato Shizuka confessed to Da Shenying last time, Da Shenying always felt that there was some gap between the two. Even if Sato Shizuka was nice to her, she only felt that it was because of Shizuka Sato is still using her.
Fenfuku Co., Ltd. is the company of director Hirokazu Kore-eda, and I went to Fenfuku Co., Ltd. for the original audition.
As a newcomer and the youngest person, the Great Condor and his manager Sato Shizuka arrived thirty minutes before the appointed time. Sato Shizuka was familiar with the terrain when she came here for discussion before, so the Great Condor followed Sato Shizuka all the way.
The two of them walked to a door. The door number read 'Activity Room 1'. It was a double door, and you could feel that the space inside was quite large.
"Click."
Shizuka Sato turned the handle, pushed the door open, and walked in. She held the door with her right hand to prevent it from closing. After entering, she bowed to the invisible place of the big condor on her right, and said "Hello" in her mouth. , not just one sound.
The Great Condor followed closely behind. After entering the room, he looked to the right and saw a bunch of people sitting there. The most conspicuous one was Hirokazu Kore-eda, who auditioned for her last time. Standing in front of everyone, his hair mixed with black and white was always visible. His vicissitudes are clearly demonstrated, and he naturally makes people feel that he is a reliable and experienced director.
"Kore-eda-san, good afternoon." The great condor bowed respectfully in greeting.
"Oh, here we come."
Hirokazu Kore-eda, who was talking to the people below, turned his head when he heard the sound of the door opening. He saw Shizuka Sato opening the door and the great Condor who played the role of the fourth sister this time.
"Hi." The nervousness made her pinch the corners of her clothes unconsciously.
"Come on, come on."
Kore-eda Hirokazu waved and asked the great condor to pass. The Great Condor nodded, fearing that he was neglecting Kore-eda Hirokazu, and trotted over.
"Let me introduce it to you." Hirokazu Kore-eda's left hand patted the Great Condor's shoulder, stayed on it, and pointed his right hand at the group of people sitting there. "Supervisory assistant Hirose Nanako, supervisory assistant Eiji Kitahara, photography supervisor Mikiya Takimoto, music supervisor Yoko Kanno..."
Hirokazu Kore-eda introduced a large group of people to the Great Condor. Fortunately, the Great Condor had a good memory, otherwise if it had been someone else, he would not have been able to remember anyone in this circle.
"I am the Great Condor. This is my first time meeting you. Please give me your advice."
After listening to Hirokazu Kore-eda introduce the crew members to the Great Condor, the Great Condor bowed deeply. As the youngest in terms of etiquette, she could not have any demerits.
"Please give me more advice..." They responded sparsely.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember, there will still be days ahead." Hirokazu Kore-eda said with a gentle smile. "Take a seat first, the others should be arriving soon."
"Hi."
The Great Condor found a place to sit down, and Kore-eda Hirokazu started what he had not finished at the beginning. At this time, the Great Condor had no intention of listening, but picked up the script and continued to study it, but he could not calm down. I became distracted while reading.
Just as Kore-eda Hirokazu said, Ayase Haruka and Kaho arrived almost at the same time, while Nagasawa Masami was a little slower.
Ayase Haruka!
In fact, the Great Condor is not star-chasing herself, but her mother likes Ayase Haruka very much, so the Great Condor has a deeper impression of Ayase Haruka than the other two.
When he saw Haruka Ayase and Kaho coming in, the Great Condor stood up almost instinctively. When the two of them and Hirokazu Kore-eda came over after saying hello, the Great Condor greeted them. But they just said hello briefly, and the same happened to Masami Nagasawa. Although the four of them were sitting not far apart, they were all doing their own things.
None of the four seemed to be very outgoing, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Hirokazu Kore-eda talked for a long time, almost after the Great Condor arrived, and he kept talking there. It was not until the agreed time came that Hirokazu Kore-eda ended, let alone how long Hirokazu Kore-eda had been talking before he came. Several members of the cast looked a little tired, but Kore-eda Hirokazu seemed to be more energetic.
"We're all here." Hirokazu Kore-eda came to the four of them and said with a smile.
"Hi."
Four people stood up and responded.
"Okay." Hirokazu Kore-eda looked at the four people and nodded, "Come to the middle and sit here."
Kore-eda Hirokazu led the four people to the center of the entire activity room, a temporary table and chairs made up of two long tables. Kore-eda Hirokazu sat on the single side of the table, and they all sat on Kore-eda's right hand side. Next in line was Masami Nagasawa, while Haruka Ayase sat to the left of Hirokazu Kore-eda, and in line next was Kaho wearing glasses.
"Hmm..." Hirokazu Kore-eda looked at the four leading actors in front of him with emotion. "Well, I am very happy to work with you all this time to shoot the movie "Haijie Diary". Please give me your advice."
Hirokazu Kore-eda briefly summarized his thoughts on starting the filming of Diary of the Streets. He is not a very good talker. Except for movies, of course.
"Please give me more advice." Four people responded.
"I'm not good at these either. Let's get straight to the point. Today is to review the script, so without further ado, let's get started." Hirokazu Kore-eda put his hands on the table and said with dignity when the topic came to the script.
"Hi."
The four of them took out their scripts one after another, but the Great Condor was a little different. She also took out a booklet.
"Let's start with the first real rivalry scene between the four sisters." Hirokazu Kore-eda said, and he also turned over the script. "At the Mangyama Observation Deck."
Several of them had read the script several times, and they knew which plot was on which page. Soon, as the pages turned, all four of them found that page.
"Hi, Nagasawa-san, um... Kano starts first." Kore-eda Hirokazu glanced at the script, and then looked at Nagasawa Masami, who was a big condor away from her.
Nagasawa Masami nodded and cleared his throat.
"Oh~ the field of view is so wide." Nagasawa Masami was sitting very reservedly one second, but the next second she broke away from her restraints and said like a energetic girl.
The Great Condor was stunned for a moment by Masami Nagasawa's sudden change, and then realized that it was his turn next.
"I often come here with my father..." The Great Condor brought some longing and sad emotions, which worked very well from the perspective of the script.
"Don't you think it's similar?" Masami Nagasawa said with a smile after reading the script.
"Well, if you can see the sea from anywhere, it's Kamakura." Xia Fan said.
"Really? I miss you so much."
...
The four people in the back were sitting at a long table and actively interacting with each other, holding scripts. There were also a bunch of people sitting against the wall around them. Most of them were crew members, including those whom the Great Condor just saw. Everyone was excited. Holding a notebook and pen and taking notes.
Kore-eda Hirokazu was listening all the time. He did not speak during the whole process. He just let the four people play against each other segment by segment, including the plot of the four sisters, the plot of the three sisters, and the scenes of the two opposite each other. At first, Kore-eda's brows were relaxed, with a calm expression, but as he went further, his brows became more and more frowned. It was not until night was approaching and the Great Condor's working hours were about to end that Kore-eda asked the four of them to stop.
"How to say it." Hirokazu Kore-eda thought about his words. "The four of you memorized the script very skillfully, and you did a good job with the emotions, actions, etc., really. But..."
After hearing the first half of the words, the Great Condor breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard the 'but' at the end, the Great Condor was heartbroken again.
"Tsk, I always feel like the four of you don't look like sisters." Hirokazu Kore-eda said.
What is performed is always performed, and there is always a distance between it and the real sisterhood. What's more, this is the first time for the four of them to work together and meet. Even except for the big condor, the three of them are all veteran actors, and they can handle the emotions and expressions well. It's very good, but no matter how much the six-eared macaque pretends to look like, it's still not Sun Wukong. The relationship between the sisters cannot be demonstrated by acting alone.
Kore-eda Hirokazu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking. The four people also waited quietly for Kore-eda Hirokazu's views and opinions.
"Let's do this. I'll rent you a house in Kamakura, and you can take this opportunity to get to know each other. It just so happens that we are going to Kamakura for filming."
