Chapter 519 Youth Sitcom

That supervisor obviously didn’t understand the truth. College students, especially literary and artistic young people, are the most fearless group in the world. They have no family burdens and no huge financial constraints. They are often very hard-headed, and social changes often fail. It was initiated by this group of people. A letter from a lawyer not only cannot achieve the effect of deterrence, but can increase the prestige of others among their peers.

So since the lawyer's letter, the film supervisor seemed to be targeted by a group of college students who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and repeatedly whipped the corpse. Not only did he mock his latest film, but his past works were also dug up and ridiculed, and he was even ruthlessly satirized.

In this battle between amateur college film critics and professional supervisors, college students have declared victory.

"Are you looking forward to this movie?" Fukuhara Ryui asked curiously.

"I'm not really looking forward to it." Saiharu Tanaka pushed up her glasses and said, "Kei Fujiwara's past romance films have fallen into routines. In terms of love stories, Kei Fujiwara's creations are obviously not as talented as he is in suspense stories.

If there was some sincere emotion in the original "Long Vacation", then the later "Tokyo Cinderella" and "Blue Life and Death" were just simple formulaic writing.

It's like a drink that is obviously mixed with artificial flavors, but is deliberately disguised as pure natural juice. The whole story is full of the taste of gore, and is not as worth looking forward to as his suspense works.

Although both dramas are very popular, they are too bloody and cliche. Kei Fujiwara obviously understands the market very well, but because of this, his works are closer to commodities than works of art.

"Oh, that's so sharp. Although the movie hasn't been played yet, I feel like your movie review will most likely be a sharp-tongued article."

The girl pushed up her glasses again: "I also think that's most likely the case."

After chatting with the students for a while, Fukuhara Ryui sat down in his seat and couldn't help but look back at the "student viewing group". Suddenly, a feeling of envy came over him.

It's so good...the years of youth...

"My Sassy Girl" is originally a youth romance film, and seeing so many young alumni, Fukuhara Ryui's thoughts couldn't help but be pulled back to more than 20 years ago, recalling his own youthful years. The face of a girl wearing a school uniform, bending over and smiling at him, appeared uncontrollably in his memory.

Fukuhara Ryui smiled and shook his head, as if he wanted to shake something out of his mind. This is what happens when people get older, and they start to recall the past.

After a while, when the time came, the lights in the theater went out and the big screen came on.

"Exactly two years ago today, she and I buried a time capsule here. We agreed to meet here two years later, but she didn't come. Then I will continue to wait."

The story begins with the male protagonist's confession. It is obvious that this is a movie from the male protagonist's perspective.

The beginning of the movie is a very life-like scene. After the male protagonist appeared, Fukuhara Ryui even heard a girl in the front row whisper: "This male protagonist looks too ordinary..."

Indeed, viewers who are used to watching Kei Fujiwara's past trendy dramas are accustomed to the fact that Kei Fujiwara's romance movies are often played by handsome guys. Only handsome guys can satisfy the fantasies of female viewers. And the male protagonist in this movie, In terms of image, he is indeed far different from the handsome male protagonists in some past trend dramas. Of course, he is not ugly, just at the level of ordinary people. Just like you and me.

The beginning of the movie is full of life-like scenes, unlike many Japanese youth films that pile up some beautiful scenery shots at the beginning.

Not long after the movie started, the heroine appeared. The drunk heroine vomited on the head of a passerby on the subway, and the theater burst into laughter for the first time.

Fukuhara Ryui curled up his lips. For him, who has read countless films, the small jokes interspersed in the film are not enough to impress him. If this movie only makes fun of these trivial humorous plots, If you click on it, then this movie is undoubtedly a bad movie.

There are endless humorous scenes like this. There will be laughter every ten seconds in the screening room, and the laughter is not blunt, and it is very integrated with the plot. The movie has always maintained a smooth rhythm, and the plot is also Proceed methodically. The characters of the male and female protagonists are also gradually becoming clearer.

Fukuhara Ryui's head gradually stretched forward, as if he was getting involved.

At this time, the movie was not over yet, and the crew of "My Sassy Girl" were staying backstage, playing poker.

"One three."

"Sorry."

"One three, Supervisor Odagiri."

"Ah, ah... it's taken care of." Odagiri Kōzo suddenly pulled out a card and pressed it on the table as if he had just woken up from a dream.

The crew members who were watching couldn't help laughing.

Kei Fujiwara lowered his head and looked at the big trump card offered by Odagiri Kōzo in silence.

The four of them played the simplest card game "Strive for the Top", which was similar to the rules of Landlords. After a while, the actress Takami Inoshita took out a piece of paper, stood up, bowed to Mr. Odagiri, and said : "I'm offended, Director Odagiri."

Then he very excitedly put the note on Odagiri Kozo's face.

Although the note was posted, a happy smile appeared on Mr. Odagiri's face because very loud laughter came from the screening room not far away.

Although you can't see the audience's reaction, you can hear it. As a romantic comedy, laughter is also an important criterion for measuring the audience's satisfaction with the movie.

Today is the first screening of "My Sassy Girl". Mr. Odagiri looks very nervous. Even though the air conditioner in the room is turned on at full speed, his forehead is still inevitably covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

This is not the first time that Odagiri Kozo has made a movie. He has made many movies before, but they are little-known and have only been shown in art theaters. The most famous movie won the best plot award at a well-known film festival. The highest achievement I have ever achieved in my film career.

However, this award did not give him much help. Later, he gave up his persistence in making movies and filmed "Blue Life and Death", which made him famous as a TV series director.

This "My Sassy Girl" is his first work after returning to the film industry, and he attaches great importance to it. After all, film shooting is Odagiri's first wish. If the film's commercial performance is unsatisfactory or the response is mediocre, he will probably be reassigned back to his role as TV series director.

So all his attention was focused on the screening room next door, and he had no time to care about the card game in his hand, so he was cheated out of a lot of money by Kei Fujiwara.

After Kei Fujiwara heard the laughter, he also looked at his watch. It was exactly one hour before the show time, and it should be the plot of "Encountering a Deserter in the Playground". But Kei Fujiwara changed this section to a fugitive.

Odagiri Kōzo glanced at Fujiwara Kei and couldn't help but admire him. He was really not nervous at all... Odagiri Kōzo naturally knew that Mizuha Productions was taking great risks and putting great financial pressure on launching five movies at the same time, and " "My Sassy Girl" serves as the pawn of these five movies, and its success or failure is also crucial. That's why Odagiri Kozo was so nervous, fearing that his work would be ruined.

However, Kei Fujiwara, who was most closely related to the interests, acted extremely relaxed and showed a strong psychological quality.

And this calmness has indeed played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military.
