Let me see your shine!

The filming locations were also found smoothly, including an abandoned high school, an unfinished building, an abandoned tunnel, a mountain shrine, etc.

All in all, Youren is extremely busy these days.

After work, I have to practice singing and piano. After returning home, I have to discuss the script with Liuhua and teach Qian how to shoot the movie with a camera...

Yuto would have sex with Jianzi and the others until eleven or twelve o'clock every night before letting them go home.

Although he was tired, he was very happy.

———The so-called giraffes are those who burn themselves to create a stage for them to perform.

Yuto understands.

His burning body and money are setting up a grand stage...

While Youren is busy, the industry is also not peaceful.

As October approaches, new dramas from various companies are about to be released, and promotional activities are taking place one after another, making it very lively.

"The Visible Girl" also produced advertisements and aired them on television and the Internet, and Yuto also took Jianzi to participate in magazine interviews.

It has three short films that have exceeded one million hits and is very popular in the October schedule.

This TV series, which is different from current trends, is very exciting.

All TV stations and production companies took notice.

They didn't say anything openly, but some of these companies have already secretly spread rumors to attack their competitors.

On the anonymous forum 5CH, a discussion thread about trolls appeared:

"Just a casual review, I'm not optimistic about 'The Visible Girl'. P1 has too many dark histories! It's bound to be a disaster!"

“To be honest, I think what is said above is quite good.

Let me ask you this: does the lead actress in "The Visible Girl" really have acting skills? Besides being cute, what else is she? Are audiences going to watch the show just because she's cute? No way? No way?

"Exactly. Qin Youren can't even act that stupid role and yet he wants to be a supervisor. Haha, Brother Fu is so good. He has his parents to back him up. This industry is really rotten."

"Seriously hilarious, what a lie! Qin Taiping is even more clueless than Qin Youren. My dog ​​shook his head after watching his dramas. He filmed twelve episodes for me overnight!"

Some people also retorted: "Oh, I think "The Visible Girl" is pretty good."

"You know shit, that's definitely the type where the highlights are all in the shorts, and the main film is just a bunch of crap.

I recommend watching Flying Cat Club's "I Got an Invincible Sword~ I Kill All Enemies with One Hit, All Beauties Are Mys~." I'm telling you, the special effects are amazing, and there are so many beautiful actresses, it's absolutely amazing!"

"The person above isn't a shill, is he? I'm optimistic about Giant Bear's 'Emperor's Game'; I heard the plot is very exciting!"

"You're a shill, you idiot. What the hell is "The King's Game"? In the original, the protagonist pushed his girlfriend to a supporting character, and the character creation was also a mess. But this thing is a perfect match for someone like you, they're all the same."

"I think everyone should check out Alchemist's Grandson. It's probably quite interesting."

"I'm so fucked! Can you guys please stop promoting the other world thing? Why on earth is this thing so popular?"

"Why, reality is so cruel, why don't you let me reincarnate into another world and have some fun?"

"So, is the person above interested in experiencing reincarnation in another world?"

"WWW"

"happy."

"genius!"

“Indeed, reopening is recommended.”

...There was a lot of heated debate online, but the arguments did not continue in reality.

At least not yet.

It’s the first Saturday of September.

Youren gathered the crew members to meet at the company to prepare for the filming.

16 Rehearsal

Youren is no stranger to the TV drama production process, having participated in it many times.

After all, his father is a TV drama producer, so even if he doesn't act in the show, he will be called to help out on the set.

Generally speaking, when producing a TV series in Japan, the producer first starts planning, decides on the subject matter, and then discusses it with the scriptwriter.

After the first version of the script is agreed upon, a production meeting will be held to discuss the specific production plan with the supervisor and others, decide on the protagonist, location, coordinate the itineraries of all parties, produce a complete script, and go to the field to collect materials.

Then the art department holds a meeting to decide on props, costumes, and sets.

After completing the above steps, it is time for the formal meeting of the crew.

Yuto has completed all the above steps, and today is the day for the crew members to meet.

After the meeting, we will enter the rehearsal process.

Early on Saturday morning, P1 Company welcomed many people.

The literati in the crew were basically people who had worked with Qin Taiping, so they all knew Youren and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Before the meeting, they also talked to Yuto about the deputy director and the photographer jumping to another production company, but he didn't care about it and just dealt with it with a few words.

At eight o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered and held a meeting on the third floor.

The originally empty space was now filled with tables and chairs, arranged in a concave shape.

Yuto stood in front of the room surrounded by tables.

Miko, Hana, and Yulia sat in the middle, while Touko and Kyousuke sat on the sides.

Rikka and Akane sat among the scholars.

Although Jun'ichiro Candle only had a small cameo role, he was still there and acted very seriously.

The Godmother of Gods also attaches great importance to "The Visible Girl" because the three short films are becoming more and more popular.

...In addition to these people, there were three high school students sitting on the side.

They are Mahiru, Karen and Hikari.

Yuto invited them to make a guest appearance.

Karen and Hikaru will play the protagonists of the ghost story at the beginning of the first episode, while Mahiru will be the co-host of the candle Junichiro.

These were the actors Yuto had thought of before.

When he invited Mahiru, she excitedly agreed to appear in the role.

He then asks Mahiru to ask his roommate if they're interested in a cameo.

Hua Lian and Guang agreed readily.

Although they studied stage plays, it is normal to cross over these days.

After all, even people from the fortune-telling world can perform, so there is no reason why they can't.

Today was the first time they met Yuto, and they all felt that Mahiru was not lying. He was indeed very handsome, and he was very charming when he worked hard.

When Yuto saw them, he also thought they were prettier than in the anime.

After everyone gathered, Yuto gave a brief opening speech:

"I'm very happy to be working with you all. I don't think I need to say any words of encouragement. Everyone can see the popularity of "The Visible Girl".

I am confident that I can produce an excellent TV series with you.

Let us work together towards the goal of dominating the season, thank you!"

He bowed to the crowd.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Yuuto:

"Next, I'd like to introduce you. This is the lead actress, Jianzi. These are Hua and Yulia... These two are Mr. Candle Jun'ichiro and Ms. Godmother... These three are students from Seiyo Academy... This is the music director, Xiangzi.

She is Rikka, the script assistant, and she is Akane, the assistant photographer and prop master..."

After Yuto introduced everyone one by one, they talked about the direction of the planning and then started rehearsing.

Rehearsal also has a specific process:

The first step is script reading, indoor rehearsal and outdoor rehearsal.

The supervisor and the performer will then discuss the storyboard based on the rehearsal situation and write it into the script.

Then the entire crew went out for a more formal rehearsal.

After the rehearsal, we will conduct further rehearsals using the camera, and the shooting process will be adjusted according to the actual pictures.

After completing the above preparations, we will enter the final rehearsal stage.

At this point it's no different from a proper shoot.

After the rehearsal, the formal shooting will naturally begin.

After each scene is shot, the supervisor and the actors will review the footage and discuss whether there is anything that needs improvement.

This process is repeated until an episode is finished and can be sent for post-production.

It can be broadcast afterwards.

Yuto and the others will not be filming today, they are just rehearsing.

They practiced at the company in the morning and went out to rehearse at the closed high school in the afternoon.

Candle Jun'ichiro and the Godmother only attended the morning rehearsal and did not follow in the afternoon. They were also very busy.

After lunch, the crew came to the school and started rehearsing.

The rehearsal process was bumpy and not very smooth.

Since they are all newcomers, it is difficult for them to figure out the situation.

Fortunately, they performed in their true colors and did not require much acting skills, so the overall effect was acceptable.

It would be enough for Youren to explain the play to them and give them guidance.

On the other hand, Hualian and Guang's rehearsal went smoothly.

The content of the play within the play they performed was not complicated:

A woman discovered something sinister and ran home in terror. While she was hiding at home, a female ghost crawled out of the refrigerator.

After the female ghost comes out, the screen will cut to a supernatural show.

It's just a short clip of about two minutes.

Hua Lian and Guang’s acting skills are very good, but because they studied stage plays, their movements are inevitably a bit exaggerated.

After Youren reminded them, they reacted and adjusted themselves quickly.

"OK, that's all."

Yuto peeked out from behind the monitor and told them, "Karako-chan and Hikari-chan's acting is excellent. No need to rehearse anymore."

"hey-hey."

"Thank you."

They bowed and thanked him.

By the way, Mahiru also finished rehearsing with Candle Junichiro in the morning, and her performance was also very good.

During the break, Jianzi and the others asked Hualian and the others for advice.

Yuto looked at Akane and Rikka who were watching the monitor together and asked:

"What do you think?"

He was filming with Akane just now, and Rikka was watching the whole process.

Akane: "It seems like the footage I filmed could use some tweaking."

"I feel fine," said Rikka.

Youren then said, "Akira, if you want to adjust, just try."

There is nothing wrong with the things he shoots himself.
