"What is the best job in the world for a man?"
"AV actor."
-- this Seems to be the answer for the vast majority of men.
"One of my seniors said that we are and do hard labor in a paradise in the eyes of others ."
——A real Japanese AV actor Xiao Jing sighed with emotion.
He told Weekly Jun, everything is not so easy.
"This is a job that makes money by physical strength."
"It won't be ashamed, and certainly not worthy of envy."
You can't "contact feelings" in advance
This profession, small Ji is a half rookie.
He majored in law, graduated from a well-known Japanese university, and once had a job that he called himself "Dazzling and Decent" (光沢のある, まともな), "that is, he wears suits and shoes every day, walks in skyscrapers, and talks to people. , drink coffee, eat wagyu beef, drink champagne."
Entering this business is purely accidental.
"The first actual contact I had with AV shooting was when I was walking in Shibuya after get off work (one of the neighborhoods where young people in Tokyo are more concentrated), and I received a small advertisement on the roadside with my favorite actress. ."
It was an advertisement for a part-time AV actor, and the photo in the picture was an actor called "National Actress".
Out of idol complex and wanting to see the true style of the actress, Xiao Jing did a "juice actor".
The so-called "juice male actors" are the lowest and most "humble" group in the Japanese AV industry. They do not show their faces and cannot have any contact with actresses. They are only responsible for providing "ammunition".
remuneration is calculated on a per-time basis,Xiao Ji revealed that with normal physical strength, the remuneration is calculated to be about 300 RMB in a day. He made an analogy with a smile, saying that this was equivalent to "paid sperm donation", and the money given was equivalent to car expenses, nutrition expenses and "spiritual compensation fees" .
After a tense interview and a strict physical examination, Xiao Ji came to the shooting site. A household in an ordinary residential building was rented by the production unit. There was almost no deliberate setting inside, and it was full of lights, cameras, audio, etc. staff of various departments.
Xiao Jing was first taken to the lounge, signed a performance commitment letter with "Adult Xiang" written on it, took a photo with the newspaper of the day with an ID card, made sure that she was over 20 years old, and then got the script and a bath towel.
"Male actors, regardless of whether they are famous or not, most do not know who the female lead is before arriving at the filming site, and they cannot 'contact emotionally' in advance. They are not allowed to meet outside the show." Xiao Ji said, "If you don't like the actress of the day very much, the actor can refuse, but he can't choose by himself."
However, he also mentioned that the general director will ask during the interview if there are some "special scenes" , or some kind of "special actor" that he doesn't want to shoot.
After confirming the medical report, he stood with the other "juicy male" actors, like a crowd of onlookers, gathered together to wait for the supply of "ammunition". Half of these people come for actresses, but everyone's "ideal type" is different.
Recalling that time, Xiao Ji was still a little embarrassed, he almost "missed", and the actors around him seemed much more professional than him.
Afterwards, the other party told him that he was a member of the "Juicy Boys Team" trained by the producer.
"Having the opportunity to dominate everything is even more enviable." Xiao Ji said.

"It's okay,You don't have any lines"
It is precisely because of that near-failure experience, coupled with the fact that she has just returned to being single, Xiao Jing decided to devote herself to the AV career. that kind of person. "
However, this industry has a strict classification.
is called "Yang Nan", which is one level higher than "Juicy Boy", and basically does not actually appear, but the daily salary is four times that of the former. Can you Being a "yang man" mostly depends on physical strength, requires "supply", and must provide "ammunition" multiple times in a short period of time. Xiaojing believes that 5 times are necessary.
The next level is the full-time "male" "Excellent", subdivided into three levels: amateur, well-known and top-level, with a daily salary ranging from RMB 1,000 to 4,000, depending on fame and difficulty of shooting.
Compared with actresses, the income of male actors is not ideal. The actor Kato Taka also complained that he was not taken seriously.
Xiao Jing first joined the "Juice Boys Team" and participated in planning and accumulated experience. In addition, there are some "male excellent courses" in Japan, and he also participated in training, According to him, he learned a lot of "tricks".
Finally, Xiao Jing got a chance to shoot.
He abstained for three days and was so nervous that he didn't sleep well the night before. Before shooting, he wanted to retreat, But I was afraid of causing trouble for others, so I hurriedly told the director when I arrived at the shooting location, saying that my memory was not good and I might not be able to memorize the lines.
"The director told me with a smile, 'It's okay, you don't have lines. '"
Along with the tactful "retreat", Xiao Jing bought a new big-name jacket, and the director told him to only wear underwear.
"It feels like so many people are watching, or not. Excuse me.
The real challenge After entering the shooting site, Xiao Jing said that all the camera, lighting, sound, director, about ten people, all looked at him blankly.
The more important thing is the ability to control time ,All his actions and actions must start, pause and end according to the director's instructions. "If the director doesn't call the next step, I won't dare to continue, and I'm almost convulsed."
Several times, for the sake of women When the actor retouched makeup or changed the shooting angle, Xiao Ji was forcibly called "click", the camera position was re-determined, and then continued, "This does require a lot of physical strength, and the 'tricks' in the training course are not used at all." He said.
Finally, when the film is cut out, Xiao Ji does not show her face for more than 2 minutes, most of which are back, sideways or partial.
Xiao Jing has no regrets. He said that the most important professional ethics in this industry is the professionalism of serving the audience. Well-known actor Zhongshan Yongjian once said that some actors pay special attention to filming, and they never arrive late or leave early, cheat and play tricks. But as soon as filming started, it was just to meet their own needs, never considering it was a job or the feelings of the audience. "Some people even forgot the script, got too intoxicated, and let the scene get out of control. This is very unprofessional behavior."
Professionally, there are still times when actors need to endure even more, for example, some have clips, because "real knives and real guns" have to pay actresses more. In order to save costs, clips are usually borrowed and simulated.
"The pain can be imagined." Xiao Ji said.
Picture/Video Screenshot "Hard Worker"
Life is very "Buddha"
"Masquerade" life. "Japanese office workers are burdened with a lot of responsibilities, with various external and self-control, and they are under a lot of mental pressure."
But soon, he discovered that the life of an AV actor should also be very "Buddhist", "You see It is the blessing of Qi people, and I feel the same pressure as other industries."
Every morning,They all have to get up on time, exercise and drink protein powder to ensure good-looking muscle lines; they rarely drink alcohol or stay up late, so as not to affect the shooting state the next day.
They basically don't smoke or eat food that tastes too strong, so as not to smoke the actors in the opposite scene; keep the intestines open at all times, so as to avoid intestinal discomfort and "release gas" during the filming interval.
They all carry underwear, toothbrushes and tongue brushes with them. They take a bath, brush their teeth and brush their tongue coating several times a day. During a video interview with Weekly Jun, Xiao Ji tried to show that she has almost no tongue coating.
These almost harsh requirements make AV actors less and less in Japan. Actor Ken Shimizu once said on social networking sites that there are now about 10,000 actresses in this industry in Japan, and only 70 men are left. ! "It's even rarer than a Bengal tiger!"
In this regard, Xiao Jing said that based on his observation, 70 people is an approximate number. If you don't include the juicy male group, the number will not exceed 100, and the flow of new people is obvious. It is indeed difficult to persevere, and only so many people are familiar with it.
Today, Japan produces an average of 150 AVs every day, and professional male actors shoot two films a day on average. Some top actors with market appeal will shoot three or four films a day.
Most of them have experienced backache and leg pain, and it is difficult to control themselves. Many people have to rely on the "blue pill" for maintenance.
It is still unclear whether such activities that exceed the constant will have an impact on lifespan. After all, it is still a young industry. It has only been 36 years since the first film with model significance in 1982.
was asked how the family viewed this profession? Xiao Jing believes that there is nothing shameful about food and sex, as long as the demand is released reasonably, there is nothing wrong, "We provide an outlet for everyone, although sometimes the plot is exaggerated, but just showing it to others is better than a certain one. These sanctimonious rapists are much more advanced."
However, until now, he will not talk about this career with his parents, and keep a distance from his ex-wife's children, "for fear that he will be bullied by his classmates."
