Chapter 313 Good Actors Are Made From Bad Movies

Kei Fujiwara smiled, and Arimasai's unlucky look of suffering and suffering even vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.

But when he thought of Arima Keika's ominous and dark dishes, he gradually stopped laughing. The life of this kid Masai was indeed quite miserable recently. Hope he can get through it, Namo Amitabha.

Judging from the current momentum, the final box office of the movie version of "White Night Journey" should not be good, which may have an impact on Arima Katsura to a certain extent. But it’s not a big deal.

No actor can complete a long acting career without failing in a single film. This kind of thing does not exist. In this circle, apart from Kei Fujiwara, who has a golden finger, there are no generals who are always victorious.

To put it bluntly, good doctors are made with human lives, and good actors are made with bad dramas.

Just as he was thinking about it, the ringing of the phone suddenly came to mind again. Kei Fujiwara glanced at the phone number and then picked up the receiver.

"Kinako." Kei Fujiwara took a chair and sat in front of the phone. "I just finished listening to the recording that guy Masai gave me. Do you want to know what he said?"

"Okay." Arima Keixiang said, "Come out and talk to me. I'll be in the parking lot near your house. Let's go watch a movie."

"what movie?"

"There is a theater animation recently called "Sea of ​​Fire". You must have heard of it, right? This movie just premiered a few days ago. Within a few days of its release, the film schedule for "White Night Journey" started to be crazily squeezed. I heard that The reputation is good, and I want to go and see the competitors in person. Mr. Fujiwara, can we go together? If you are not free today, I will go by myself."

"I'm free, I'll come down now." Kei Fujiwara said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Kei Fujiwara casually put on a coat and went downstairs. In the parking lot not far from the apartment building, Kei Fujiwara spotted Arima Keika's car at a glance.

Fujiwara Kei walked to the front of the car, knocked on the driver's seat window, and slowly rolled down the window glass, "Ms. Arima, you don't need me to pay for the movie tickets, right?"

"What a stingy guy, I'll buy it if I buy it!" Arima Keixiang said angrily.

Kei Fujiwara opened the passenger door and got in. For some reason, he felt a strange smell permeate the car.

Kei Fujiwara shrugged his nose and asked, "What's going on? It smells weird. Has something gone bad?"

"Not polite." Arima Keika said, then she took a package from the back seat of the car and stuffed it into Fujiwara Kei's arms, "I learned the cooking from Ogata-san, you can try it."

That's the smell of this guy... Kei Fujiwara's face twitched, but he tried to stay calm. He picked up the knot and gently put it back into the back seat of the car. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's put it here for now, and wait until we get home." I'll try it."

Then I pretended I forgot to take it. Fujiwara Kei thought.

The car slowly drove out of the parking lot, and shortly after the two left the parking lot, another car slowly started.

"Hehe, we finally caught him. Sure enough, Emperor Tian has paid off." The famous paparazzi Inoue Senzo said with a smile while sitting in the passenger seat.

"Don't drive too fast. Stay behind and keep a distance of about fifty meters. Follow slowly." Senzo Inoue rubbed his hands, "I hope these two people can drive directly to the hotel...or do errands directly in the car. Okay. Then the entire Japanese entertainment industry will be shocked, haha."

Then, he rubbed his teeth and said bitterly: "Speaking of which, Fujiwara Kei has really wasted a lot of our time. After so long, there has been no progress at all. I have been disappointed again and again. This time If this guy comes home empty-handed again, I’m going to throw paint on his door!”

The car slowly stopped at the door of a nearby small private cinema, and Fujiwara Kei and Arima Keika walked in wearing masks and hats.

Although it is not yet the year of the pandemic, wearing a mask in Japan does not seem strange, especially for women. In Japanese society, there is a culture where women must put on makeup when going out, otherwise they will look rude. Therefore, many women choose to wear masks when going out without makeup. Over time, people gradually discovered that wearing masks can also improve their appearance. Effect.

Therefore, wearing masks when traveling has quickly become popular in Japan. Both men and women wear them. This is also true. No matter who wears a mask, their appearance immediately improves a lot. Therefore, Kei Fujiwara and Keika Arima wearing hats and masks when traveling will not attract any attention or be scolded for pretending.

Arima Keika went to buy tickets, and Fujiwara Keinori went to buy cones and popcorn. This cinema also learned from the Osaka cinema in "The Lonely Gourmet" and sold cones in the theater. Business is actually very good.

The two walked into the theater, randomly found a corner seat, and started watching.

One of the co-directors of this animated film called "Sea of ​​Fire" is also Fujiwara Kei's old acquaintance Oshii An.

After Oshii An resigned from Tokyo Animation, he entered an independent animation studio called "Koganei Animation Studio". When chatting with Oshii-an before, I also mentioned this studio. Although it is not large in scale, it is estimated that a temporary team will be formed to shoot new works. It will be disbanded after the project is completed, and even permanent employees are very lacking.

However, it is such an animation studio that was established not long ago, but it has gathered many outstanding animation talents in the industry, and there are even two or three seniors with profound qualifications. They are the people who carried the banner of Japanese animation many years ago. .

This film is distributed by Tokyo Pictures, and it is now being tested in its theaters, and the results are very good. This small studio has produced a very high level of hand-made animation. So other theaters also released the film one after another, and the box office exceeded 100 million in two days. It's a very good film.

"The popcorn here is not crispy at all."

Halfway through, Arima Keika complained softly.

"Hey, you're distracted."

"Yes, yes. As expected of Mr. Fujiwara, he was really serious about watching the movie."

An hour and a half passed quickly, the movie entered its ending credits, and people in the theater stood up and left the screening room. Keika Arima nudged Kei Fujiwara gently with her elbow, "What do you think of this movie?"

"It's very good. I'd give it an 8 for the painting, and a 6 for the story. But overall it's very smooth and it's a work worth watching."

"How does that compare to the theatrical version of White Night Walk?"

Kei Fujiwara sighed: "The market has already given the answer, so I don't need to say anything."

"Sea of ​​Fire" was released ten days later than "White Nights," but it has now surpassed it at the box office.

"Isn't "White Night Journey" a good work?" Arima Keixiang looked at him and asked.

Kei Fujiwara was silent for three seconds, and then said: "To be honest, no, it's not an attractive movie."

Arima Katsura said angrily: "That's not what you said at the premiere."

"You have to say something against your will...you have to say a few things to get into this industry...if you look at the premiere, there weren't many people who said it didn't look good..."

Arima Keixiang sighed, looking a little worried, "Do I really have to apologize?"

"Why go? Your performance is definitely above the standard, and the plot arrangement is not something you can control." Immediately afterwards, Kei Fujiwara told his theory that "good actors are made of bad movies" There is horse cinnamon to listen to.

Arima Katsura said at this time: "Good actors are made of bad movies...then good screenwriters should be the same, right? But Mr. Fujiwara seems to have always been victorious."

"Well...it's better not to compare with me."

"...You guy, what you say is really irritating."

With that said, the two walked out of the cinema. And just as the two walked out to the parking lot, in a car dozens of meters away, the camera shutter kept ringing.

"Damn...are you just watching a movie again?" Inoue Senzo was so angry that he almost flattened Yahuako.

"Does Kei Fujiwara have another woman? I hope she's an insider. Outsiders can't really be called breaking news."
