After bidding farewell to Masami Nagasawa for the time being, the Great Condor went back to bed, tidied up the homework scattered on the bed, and changed into a set of short-sleeved shorts. After tidying up her appearance in the bathroom, she went downstairs.
Ayase Haruka and Xia Fan were already at the door. The Great Condor saw the two of them when they came downstairs. Xia Fan was leaning on the door frame and chatting with Ayase Haruka. Seeing the big condor coming down, he waved to her and said hello.
"Good evening, Ayase-san, Kaho-san."
"Good evening, Eagle-chan."
The two said that for the younger generation, they generally would not call him Gasan. They were both girls and the name was more intimate, so they would just call the big condor by his name.
"Come on, come on, sorry~"
There was a sound of banging going down the stairs behind the great condor, and then came Masami Nagasawa's voice, along with a gust of fragrance. Nagasawa Masami naturally hugged the big condor and led her towards the door.
"Let's go, barbecue, go go go go!" Masami Nagasawa looked like a primary school student going to camp, very excited.
After saying that, he hugged the big condor and left the house. Although Nagasawa Masami had been very lively just now, the four of them didn't actually talk much along the way. Kamakura is not a big place, so the four of us walked around and saw that there were many BBQ restaurants. We chose a BBQ restaurant that seemed to be relatively large, and the four of us went in.
"welcome."
The clerk came to greet them, but what made her a little strange was that the four ladies in front of her were all wearing masks. It was not pollen season yet, so they were very eye-catching.
"Hello. Is there a private room?" Nagasawa Masami asked.
"Yes, how many people are there?"
"Just the four of us."
"Okay, please follow me."
The waiter brought four people to a small box. They said there were four people, but they could only seat four, and one more person couldn't fit in. But the sound insulation is very good. After closing the door, all the noise outside disappears.
"Hey, let me take a look..." Picking up the menu, Nagasawa Masami quickly scanned it with her eyes, "How about two servings of beef belly?"
Nagasawa Masami glanced at the three of them pleadingly, but the others had no objections.
"Well, two points of beef belly, then crispy bones, sausage..."
Four people ordered a bunch of things, but there were no green vegetables.
"They all love eating meat."
After the waiter finished recording and went out, Ayase Haruka took off his mask, shook his hair and said.
"Who doesn't like meat? After enduring it for so long, it's time to make a meal!" Masami Nagasawa moved her shoulders, as if she wouldn't give up until she vomited.
On the side, the big condor sitting next to Nagasawa Masami also took off his mask and put it in his pocket.
"I almost vomited after eating natto. I ate three plates of natto during the scene we were filming!" Masami Nagasawa recalled a bad memory.
"There are also pickles. There were no pickles on the set. I ate several mouthfuls of pickles in front of the soy sauce and they almost made me jump over." Xia Fan said.
The two of them had a lot in common, and they seemed to have eaten a lot of weird things on the set. The Great Condor hadn't filmed with them yet, so she still couldn't get in the conversation.
Soon, the raw ingredients were brought out, and the iron plate was heated, ready for barbecue at any time.
"But speaking of it, Koreeda-san is really strict." Ayase Haruka put a piece of five-flowered flower on the side with serving chopsticks, making a sizzling sound. "I remember we shot that scene for three hours, right?"
"Yes, yes, absolutely." Xia Fan nodded.
"Didn't I tell you?"
While the Great Condor was quietly listening to a few people chatting, Nagasawa Masami next to her said to her.
"No." The Great Condor shook his head.
"When did you come? Last week...Thursday, yes, last Thursday, we shot the beginning, where the three sisters received the notice of their father's death and had dinner in the morning." Masami Nagasawa's smile did not fade away as she talked about that day. The story happened.
Originally, there were not many scenes to be shot that day, but when the shooting was started, it was originally scheduled for the opening scene of the movie, when the three sisters learned about the death of their father while eating. For this scene, director Hirokazu Kore-eda changed the angle of the table. Many times.
"Kore-eda-san said that this clip is an important scene that can determine the overall atmosphere of the movie." Kaho and Ogori explained, "At first, the camera was facing us, and it directly shot Haruka's back, but it seems that they discussed it and said In order to let the audience feel who would join soon, I adjusted the table, and Haruka sat a little to the side. Then I said I wanted to turn it half way, but it took a long time anyway."
After saying that, she picked up a piece of grilled meat, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Eh~" The Great Condor sighed. She didn't know that the film technology was so rigorous.
"Ahem."
Nagasawa Masami, who was sitting next to the Great Condor, swallowed the ball of minced meat in his mouth and coughed twice, which attracted the attention of the Great Condor.
"In this case, this movie changes from Ozu to Naruse." Nagasawa Masami is like a robot that is about to run out of power, speaking in a smooth and gentle voice.
After hearing this, the corners of the Great Condor couldn't help but raise their lips. After getting along for so long, the Great Condor could tell at a glance that this was imitating Hirokazu Kore-eda.
"If we talk about previous movies, it's like Yasujiro Ozu, Setsuko Hara. That's the actress." Later, Masami Nagasawa returned to her own voice.
"Ah, I know, I know." The Great Condor nodded in response.
Setsuko Hara is a veteran actor whose natal name is Masae Aida. She was active during World War II. After participating in "Late Spring" directed by Yasujirō Ozu in 1949, the two began a perennially acclaimed collaboration.
Then, Masami Nagasawa returned to Hirokazu Kore-eda's voice and lowered her voice.
"Then, although that's not bad, just turn it around a little like this, and after you're done," Masami Nagasawa kept her hands idle and turned a few times like a table, just to talk about what Xiaho mentioned just now. thing. "This space looks more like a living space. There were directors who shot like this before. That's how Naruse Mikio shot. I like this way better. Now it's Ozu who has become Naruse. This should be better. .”
"Really, Kore-eda-san is super serious."
After imitating what Kore-eda Hirokazu said to the three of them at that time, Nagasawa Masami became herself again.
"Finally, the table changed its direction again." Ayase Haruka, who had been silent until now, said. "But after looking at the comparison, the final shot does look more open than the previous shot, and the courtyard facing it is also captured."
"That's amazing." Xia Fan shook his head and sighed.
After listening to the story, her attention was not on how great Kore-eda's directing skills were, but on how to teach the three seniors how to act. When she was reading the script before, she thought that as long as her emotions were right, the filming should be good. However, since the first filming started, she got stuck many times due to some reasons of her own, which made her re-examine the difficulty of being an actor.
"Kaho-san."
"Um?"
"Excuse me, how do you get into the role during filming? How to play this role well?" Da Shenying asked a little nervously.
Hearing the Great Condor's question, Xia Fan and the other two looked at each other.
"I remember, you had a little note, right?"
"Hi."
During the previous script readings, the Great Condor would take out his notes and wear them along with the script, so the other three people also knew that the Great Condor had a notebook about the character of Asano Suzu.
"Everyone has different ways of assuming roles. My method may not be suitable for you. Let me give you a suggestion. Didn't you take a lot of notes and character samples? You try to integrate them according to the samples and record Asano Suzu's living habits. Integrate the image in the comic with yourself, immerse yourself in it, and get deeper into the character.”
