Chapter 337 "Princess Mononoke" crew!
"Crack!"
At the edge of the dense primeval forest at the border of the Land of Iron and the Land of Fire, the director shouted to the front:
"Guatian Runtu, the one who is chasing you now is a wild boar from the Western countries. He suffered severe injuries due to poisoning and was filled with resentment and turned into an evil god!"
"So the expression must be tense and show a sense of crisis, yes."
After waiting for Guatian Runtu, whom the director mentioned, he once again followed his request and rode an elk to complete a wonderful chase without any physical performance.
Even director Hayao Miyazaki, who has always been very picky about actors' acting skills, couldn't help but applaud and praise:
"Wonderful, completely beyond the level of a newcomer, it's like being hunted for real!"
"Fenghua Xiaoxue, I didn't expect this newcomer you recommended to have such a high talent as an actor!"
In fact, it was originally before the audition.
The management who invested in this filming has already arranged for a young man with tender skin and tender flesh, who looks more delicate than a girl, to be the male lead!
According to the script of "Princess Mononoke", although the protagonist has a delicate face, he has strong skills and a strong body.
He is a determined and brave young man!
What's more, there are a lot of riding and shooting and action scenes in the script!
What’s even more outrageous is that the young man, who is a second-generation capitalist, actually requested a large number of deletions and changes to the script!
We need to change Princess Mononoke, a high-quality film with anti-war and environmental protection themes, into a romance film covered in art!
Not only did he want to delete all the action scenes in it, he even wanted to let Fenghua Xiaoxue accompany him in the play under the banner of dedicating himself to art!
So after Miyazaki learned all this, he sternly refused on the spot, regardless of the employer's threat to withdraw capital.
And decisively chose Guatian Runtu recommended by the heroine of this movie, Fenghua Xiaoxue!
Of course, in order to avoid the situation from escalating and affecting the performance of the actors themselves.
He did not inform Xiaoxue of these outrageously dirty conditions.
Instead, he silently blocked all these rubbish to protect the actors in his crew.
After all, in his opinion, actors and directors actually complement each other.
Without good screenwriters and directors, no matter how good an actor is, he can only receive bad movies!
And if you lose good actors, no matter how good the script is, it will make the audience laugh out loud and make their scalp numb with embarrassment!
But what director Hayao Miyazaki doesn’t know is.
If he lets Xiaoxue know about this, Xiaoxue, who has been through hardships for a long time, will not be affected.
On the contrary, the second-generation capitalist who made excessive demands will disappear from his bed that night and disappear from the world!
After all, the so-called Guada Runtu was the one who came with Koyuki to audition, Uchiha Obito!
Obito, who was originally the top warrior in Konoha, wanted to co-star in this drama with Koyuki.
Not only did he listen to Kakashi's suggestion, he changed his name to Guada Runtu.
Based on the content of the script that was obtained, the character image was constructed according to the character setting of the script.
And based on this prototype, he cast a transformation technique on himself!
With this kind of image, temperament and physical qualities that perfectly fit the male protagonist, Hayao Miyazaki naturally chose him at a glance!
Of course, this kind of confrontation with capital also caused the crew to lose the investors of this movie!
But director Hayao Miyazaki is also a ruthless person.
In order to successfully make this movie, he not only gave up his old face, but also constantly sought new investors.
Even in order not to delay the filming, he even spent his own money and invested all his wealth in gambling, and he would never compromise on the quality of the actors!
"Director, will the management come later?"
"If we haven't reached an agreement yet, I will call my brother Yuxi to come over. Believe me, he is very rich!"
While heading to the next shooting location, Obito couldn't help but ask.
Kakashi mentioned it to him before he came, asking him to help ask the director if he was willing to accept investment.
It's just that in order to hide his identity, he came to the interview with a very plain appearance.
His fabricated surname "Gua Tian" was the first time anyone had heard of it.
It gives people the kind of surname that ordinary civilians picked up casually after giving birth to a child in the melon field.
Therefore, Director Hayao Miyazaki does not believe that he has any rich friends!
In the director's opinion, Runtu probably had no idea about the huge amount of money needed to make a movie.
The rich friends he talks about are, at best, running a small business, with a small shop, and can't make much money.
In order to prevent Runtu from calling his friends over because of this matter, he would cause embarrassment to his friends and affect their friendship.
Hayao Miyazaki simply refused.
After hearing Runtu's inquiry, other members of the crew also looked over.
If funds cannot be raised, the film will be cut out due to lack of money, and the gorgeous special effects that should be added later will become shoddy.
This is definitely not a good thing for the crew!
"We have already made contact. The other party will come to the crew at noon to inspect. If there are no problems, the contract can be signed on the spot."
Director Hayao Miyazaki showed full confidence.
These days, he is working very hard to raise funds.
"That's great. Whether it's the script or the quality of the actors, we are top-notch! The management will be satisfied when they see it!"
The crew members were very happy when they heard this.
"Yes, yes, the director must entertain the management well."
"When you have enough funds, remember to add chicken drumsticks to your lunch!"
The surrounding supporting actors also took the opportunity to joke.
"Okay, okay, everyone has worked hard these days. As long as the money is available, not to mention a chicken drumstick, just two more!"
Director Hayao Miyazaki saw that the atmosphere at the scene was good and promised with a smile.
A group of people carried props and rushed towards the next venue talking and laughing.
"Brother Runtu, if it doesn't work this time, please invite brother Yuanxi here~"
"In my opinion, the director has never agreed to meet Brother Yuyuxi, probably because he doesn't believe that you will know any rich people with abundant funds."
Xiaoxue and Obito slowed down their pace in unison, walking behind the crowd together, and whispered.
According to their original agreement in Konoha, they must use pseudonyms when on the set.
To avoid attracting the attention of the Akatsuki organization due to the exposure of her true identity, Xiaoxue, who has been on the crew for a long time, will be exposed to unnecessary risks.
"Well, that's what I think too. If it doesn't work out this time, I will go back to Konoha tonight and let him talk to the director in person!"
Obito also nodded in agreement.
He also realized that the director really didn't believe that he had a very rich friend.
Otherwise, the crew is so short of money now, and the director would not be indifferent to his suggestions every time.
What's more, after getting along with each other for this month.
He found that he quite liked this director who was extremely passionate and serious about the film industry.
Such a simple and pure person should not be forced to compromise on the plot of the movie due to lack of funds!
