An Isao Yukisada Film

AROUSED BY GYMNOPEDIES

Have a nice day!

"Monday"

Director!

Have some coffee.

Thanks.

Handling your first film shoot okay?

These small movies are tough.

No, I'm happy to work for a director I've always admired.

Seen my stuff?

I have.

Like what?

Well, I love "A Missing Day in June."

The most important tool in filmmaking is the mind.

For you crew, and cast too.

If everyone is high-minded, it'll turn out well.

Asako, right?

Yes, I'm Asako.

You're...

Director?

Excuse me.

Stir this for me.

What's up?

Anri's not happy.

Why?

She's not happy, with her co-star...

Oh come on.

Didn't they get to know each other over dinner?

Maybe that's why.

Where's the producer?

Reasoning with her.

Director!

What's her problem?

I've been on a chicken and water diet all week for today.

What now?

Seriously, man.

Honestly, I'm not doing this movie because I want to.

She's a lousy no-talent bimbo.

I'm getting nothing out of this.

And the script...

This is a movie?

This ain't no movie.

Hello.

Oh, Director.

I'm sorry. I just can't get in the mood with Yanagida.

Director, let's change the story.

Let's go.

I can't work with him.

We can't afford to waste time.

What?

My feelings don't matter?

We've got no money.

- Money? - Yeah.

Don't give me that.

I'm so sick of this.

Do you movie people like being broke?

Who do you think ends up suffering?!

Oh shut up. Save the yelling for your acting.

Don't blame me.

Money's not my problem. Don't ignore my feelings.

Fuck your feelings.

Stop it.

"The budget's small, but the film's high-minded."

That's what you told me.

Time to shoot.

This is bullshit!

Wait, Anri!

Go get her, Kudo!

Hey.

Give it a rest, Furuya.

Not with that third-rate actress.

Don't be stupid. Actresses these days don't do nude scenes.

They've got endorsements...

The problem is movies not paying actresses enough.

It's your fault for not treating her better.

If Hayakawa disowns you, you won't work again, Shin.

At the end of the day, the projects he produces

aren't real movies.

You said money's not an issue if a film's high-minded.

Low budgets never bothered you before.

I can keep lying to myself, but I'm not young anymore.

I always look forward to the movies you make.

For instance,

your story about a woman searching for her father's painting.

I know you'll find someone to help you make it.

That reminds me.

You need a cat for it.

There's one at a park near my place.

It's really cute. Want to audition it?

You should disown me too.

Why are you like that?

Sorry. I'm stuck here till morning.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Is Ryuhei asleep?

I'm not sure, but I should be home earlier tomorrow.

Oh, really?

Okay, let's talk when I get home.

Okay, take care.

I'm needed on set.

Yeah. Thanks.

Hey!

Don't do that.

Your husband loves you.

He's a decent guy.

I'm not young anymore.

Am I?

You haven't changed.

You're still selfish too.

I...

...was young back then.

I was scared.

I wanted a man I could never have.

A man like you, Shin.

Was I better before?

No.

I'm just tired.

Are you okay?

About what?

For money.

Are you okay?

I don't want you worrying about me like that.

Come on.

You don't want to make that movie.

Things must be tough.

You fell asleep?

What?

We overslept.

Isn't our call time 8am?

I'm wardrobe crew.

Sorry. I overslept.

Got it.

Hey.

Anri's pulled out of the movie.

No kidding.

What'll you do now?

Just wander around a little.

Bye then.

Take care.

"Tuesday"

Professor!

This is early for you.

You too. How come?

A night out. I'm going home to bed.

What about you? A film shoot?

Not any more.

Why?

I know.

Trouble on set again?

Hurry home now.

Want to come?

Is it close?

Professor? This way.

Come in.

You're well off.

My parents are.

You're the first man I've let in here.

Liar.

It's true.

Aren't you going out with Araki?

Yeah, well, I am.

But I never let him in.

Why not?

I guess he's not that important.

What about me?

You're special.

I am?

I'm going to sleep.

You can eat whatever you want.

How about...

...lending me money?

Hey.

Your phone keeps ringing.

What time is it?

After 5.

I passed out.

You didn't try anything.

Should I have?

That's a bad idea.

Coming onto a student.

It just complicates things.

You kissed me.

Professor, go easy.

Please don't.

Why not?

I don't want to regret trusting you.

Quit playing games.

No!

Professor...

Take me.

It's my first time.

But you can be my first.

You're so cranky.

You know, I don't love you.

I don't mind.

I need you right now.

Why...

Why are you looking at me so sadly?

Professor!

What's wrong?
