Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture.
In an office building in Ashikaga City, a group of people were sitting around the wall of the room, writing something with notebooks in their hands. There was a long table in the center of the room, and there were half a circle of people around the long table.
It was getting dark, and the lights in the house replaced the sun's rays.
"Okay, that's it for today."
Nakano Yuta, who was sitting at one end of the long table, put down the script in his hand and looked at the people in front of him.
"はい."
Several people sitting in front of the long table put down the scripts in their hands, drank water when it was time to drink water, and stretched when it was time to stretch.
"Miyazawa-san, Ogami-san, how are you two adapting recently?"
Nakano Yuta looked at the two people on his left, his tone stagnant.
"Very good, Nakano-san."
Putting down the script, the Great Condor put his hands on his knees and sat upright to answer.
"Well, it's hard for people not to like Taka-chan." Rie Miyazawa said, patting her head even more relaxedly.
Before meeting, both of them had worries. One was worried that the other person would be too aloof and aloof because of his high status, and the other was worried that the other person would be too young and would go off-line.
But the reality told them that these worries were unnecessary. Rie Miyazawa, who was already over forty, was gentle and considerate as a mother, and the great condor was polite and sensible since she was a child, which perfectly dispelled the other party's worries in her heart.
After meeting and reviewing the script for the first time, Miyazawa Rie also suggested that the two of them do not need to use honorifics when talking, in order to get closer to each other faster. The Great Condor used the same method as during the first filming and suggested that the two of them call each other directly by the names of the characters in the script. Both parties called each other "Mom" and "Xiaohua".
Both proposals were accepted by the supervisor, so this question was asked.
"Ah That's good."
Hearing what the two said, as a supervisor, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
The movie "Happy Hot Spring House" mainly tells the emotional drama between the mother 'Yukino Futaba' and her daughter 'Yukino Yasumi' and others. The most important thing is the relationship between the mother and her daughter. If there is any relationship between the actors If there is any barrier, then shooting will become extremely difficult.
On the contrary, if the actors have already formed a relationship similar to the characters in the script, then filming will be more effective with half the effort.
"The official filming will begin tomorrow. Everyone, please go back and rest early. Thank you for your hard work." Nakano Yuta said to everyone.
"Thank you." Others responded.
After arriving in Ashikaga City, we did not start shooting directly. Instead, we reviewed the script for a few days and checked the details. The most important thing was to let the actors get familiar with each other.
In addition to Rie Miyazawa who plays 'Yukino Futaba' and Ogori Ogori who plays 'Yukino Yasumi', there are also Joe Odagiri who plays Yukino Futaba's husband 'Kizhiro Yukino', Tori Matsuzaka who plays 'Takumi Mukai', a young man who is traveling, and Another kid, Ito Ao who plays 'Ayuko Katase'.
The whole movie tells the story of Futaba, a woman who is both gentle and strong. She originally ran the family bathhouse - "Happiness Bathhouse" with her husband Kazuo. However, with the disappearance of her husband, the bathhouse also closed down. One day a year later, Futaba suddenly learned that he had cancer and his life was short. At first she fell into the abyss of despair, but after thinking that she still had to do something in her lifetime, she decided to cheer up and face life with a smile. In the little time left, she set herself goals such as finding her good-for-nothing husband who had run away from home, reopening the idle soup house, and encouraging her bullied daughter to become independent. Her actions revealed all the secrets in the family, and the family members who had been separated from each other became united again. As Futaba's goals are achieved one by one, the family members who have received help from her mother are also preparing to do something for her.
The Great Condor picked up the scripts scattered on the table, put them in his handbag, opened the door and walked out.
"See you tomorrow."
He said goodbye to Miyazawa Rie and others, got into a taxi with Sato Shizuka, and drove to the hotel.
"Shizuka, when is the other movie audition?"
Getting in the car, the Great Condor asked about the audition time for another movie.
"May. That's the time decided." Shizuka Sato, who was sitting in front, responded.
"Ah...two months, I don't know if I will have time in June..."
Leaning against the rear window, the Great Condor looked out the window at the streets flashing with neon lights, slightly in a daze.
"June... I guess you're exhausted. What's going on? What else do you want to do?"
"No, there is a summer tour in June. I was wondering if I could catch up with the summer tour."
Ever since the company informed them in early March that this year's summer tour would start in June, she had been thinking about whether she would be able to participate.
Just like the year before, I didn't participate in the summer tour with other members, and I always felt guilty in my heart, feeling that I couldn't keep up with the others.
"Well, you probably won't make it in the first few games, but you will definitely make it in the last one. After all, it is the 4th anniversary LIVE." Sato Shizuka gave her a general message.
"Then I can't go to Mai Mai's graduation ceremony."
"Send a message, you probably won't be able to spare the time then."
This summer tour will perform in a total of 6 places. The first one in Shizuoka is Mai Fukawa's graduation concert, and she will officially graduate from Nogizaka46. In addition to the first five games, the last LIVE at Meiji Jingu Stadium in Tokyo was compiled into the 4th Anniversary LIVE to make up for the unsuccessful anniversary LIVE at the beginning of this year.
"Think of the better things. For example, you don't have to jump around on the stage covered in sweat."
"That...that's true, haha."
Thinking back to the hot and humid dressing room during last year's summer tour, and the sticky and disgusting feeling on my body while dancing on stage, it seemed that skipping work had some benefits.
