Commemorative Meijiza Backstage Tour 3-Meijiza ~

[rosemary sea] February 27, 2018 14:00

It's rosemary sea, which hits "Gift and Enjoy yourself" and covers it.

(C)2018 Movie "When the curtain of prayer comes down" Production Committee

 

Last time, I will tell you the continuation of the last time.

Junji Goto, Chief Manager of Equipment, Meijiza Stage Co., Ltd., guided us to the stage.

 

Where to adjust the light: Where you hit the dimming room or pin spot: I explained the pin room or center with a light. He also explained equipment for air rides.

Where the sound is emitted: In the explanation of the coordination room, they actually played "the sound of a motorcycle running away", "the sound of a train", and "the sound of a seaside turtle".

P2040340a.jpg

Explanation of the lifting curtain at the end of the flower path and flower path.

Flower paths are not found in foreign countries, unique to Japan. It seems that the main flower path that passes between the audience seats is only a commercial theater.

It seems that it can be installed and removed if necessary, and there was no flower path when filming the movie.

The part close to the stage is stored down with a single button, and chairs can be arranged on top of it to increase the number of seats.

"Seri" in the flower path is said to be "Suppon".

 

Well, the explanation of the main stage.

P2040271a.jpg

Right now, the linoleum is laid down.

Under the linoleum, there is a cypress floor. It's a Japanese cypress stage.

The "circumference stage" is included in a large round cut. It is said to be called "bon". It is about 14m in diameter.

We actually turned the customer 180 degrees with the tray on the tray.

There are 5 auctions, including large and small.

P2040280a.jpg

P2040288a.jpg

P2040290a.jpg

From the stage on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building to the 1st floor of the building, there seems to be a crack.

Every time the tray turned around and the auction rose and descended, the customer cheered.

 

Description of house set, explanation of set storage location.

Looking at the stage from the audience seats, the right is good, and the left is bad.

P2040292a.jpg

Matsubame (Matsubame). Matsubame because there is a picture of a pine on the wing plate.

It is used for performances such as Kabuki. Originally from Noh theater.

I actually got this done.

This is called "Obaku" and weighs about 150 to 200 kg.

It is operated by one human being by pulling a rope called Tsunamoto.

P2040293a.jpg

In Japanese theater, it is promised that "black cannot be seen."

This is why black cloth falls on the four corners of the stage, and the stage staff wears black.

The tool "Naguri" used by the prop staff.

A long time ago, I used to nail with a "naguri", but now, during the performance, I use a drill driver to minimize the noise of work.

It's evolving.

 

After the question corner, we interviewed Mr. Goto individually.

P2040335a.jpg

A lot of Meijiza were reflected in the movie.

I went to see it, but as soon as it started, the building of Meijiza was reflected in Bahn, so there was something very impressive.

The last scene was also good.

P2040339a.jpg

ーThe dark blue curtain hung at the entrance of a small room called Toya at the end of the flower path was Agemaku.

Yes. The lifting curtain is made to make a sound when you open it.

"Sharin! By opening it with a loud noise, the actors will appear now! This is a signal that customers pay attention to the lifting.

Depending on the production, it may be opened quietly without making a sound, so in practice before the performance, "Is there a Sharin?" Isn't it coincidence?

The crest of Meijiza and Yamato cherry blossoms are dyed on a dark blue fabric.

 

Thank you very much, Mr. Goto.

              (C)2018 Movie "When the curtain of prayer comes down" Production Committee

This time, I will tell you what I couldn't talk about last time.

 

It was Akika Kishi, Sales Development Division, Meijiza Marketing Department, Sales Development Division, guided us through the audience.

P2040262a.jpg P2040346b.jpg

I said last time, "Meijiza's shooting points in the theater for the movie" When the curtain of prayer descends ".

This time, I would like to talk about each of the seven points.

On the day of the tour, it was OK to shoot both on the audience and on the stage, so customers were taking a commemorative photo mainly at the shooting points.

 

 Shooting point NO. is in the order of Mr. Kishi's explanation, not in the order of appearance in movies.

 

P2040264a.jpg P2040295a.jpg

P2040297a.jpg P2040350a.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.1     1st floor left aisle near 13 rows

Hiromi who reunited when Kyoichiro Kaga (Hiroshi Abe) came to Meijiza to see the stage "Ibunsonezaki Shinju" directed by director Hiromi Asai (Nanako Matsushima). This is a scene where Kyoichiro Kaga tweeted about "It's very beautiful."

It's a very impressive scene.

On the day of the movie shooting, it was a passage, but on February 4th, the day of the tour, this is a flower path.

As a tour, there was a life-size panel of Kyoichiro Kaga to clarify the shooting spots.

P2040306a.jpg P2040349b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.2     The second passage from the left on the first floor, near 7 and 8 rows

There was a scene where my old friend Michiko Oshitani (Hiroko Nakajima) visited the director Hiromi Asai.

It was the day before the first day of the stage, but this is the scene around here.

P2040305a.jpg P2040356b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.3     1st floor seats 3 rows 19

This is a key point in the story of the movie.

Your seat is seated.

P2040300a.jpg P2040351b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.4     20 rows on the first floor, in front of 5 doors in front of 17th floor

Senshuraku (Senshuraku: the last day of the stage performance), a scene where Kaga meets Hiromi in the audience.

P2040320a.jpg P2040326a.jpg

P2040330a.jpg P2040353a.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.5     Auditor’s Office (behind the seats)

This small room was visited by Kaga and other casts, mainly by the director Hiromi.

The scene in this room comes out several times.

Please check it in the main part of the movie.

The auditor's room is a place for producers and directors of performances to check while watching the stage.

Since it is a room with a very narrow depth, Director Fukuzawa seems to have been thinking a lot about how to shoot.

The curtains are usually closed, but they were open in the shooting scene.

On the day of the tour, there was also a life-size panel of Kyoichiro Kaga.

P2040307a.jpg P2040352b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.6     2nd floor seats, 3 rows, 37

The seat where Michiko Oshitani sat on the first day of the stage.

I had the theater staff sit in my seat.

P2040304a.jpg P2040354a.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.7     4 seats on the first floor, around 43rd side

On the first day of the performance, this is a spot where Hiromi took a look at the audience.

From here, you can see the inside of the seats well.

 

・・Mr. Kishi, thank you very much.

The story on the stage will be the next time.
