Go Tokyo Your Experience
During the filming process of film and television works, directors and crews often face the challenge of finding actors who meet specific character requirements. Sometimes, even if suitable actors are found, they may not be able to fully meet the director’s theatrical requirements. The most difficult character to find may be a newborn.
In the latest season of the Japanese drama “My Treasure”, a plot around a mother giving birth has sparked a heated discussion among netizens because the “newborn” used by the crew looks much larger than the newborn’s body size. This phenomenon has sparked a lot of discussion online, let’s take a look at the specific process of the matter.
Born so big, it’s so cute, hahaha
In the second episode of the popular TV drama “My Treasure” on Fuji Television in Japan, there is a scene of a mother giving birth.
The camera switches to medical staff working tirelessly to assist the mother in giving birth, and ultimately successfully delivering the baby.
However, after the broadcast of this story, many mother level audience roast.
As is well known, those who have given birth know that this’ newborn ‘actually looks more like a baby that is already several months old.
Although everyone understands that newborns are difficult to participate in filming in reality, they still cannot help but feel that this scene is quite humorous.
Japanese audiences have expressed their opinions one after another:
About 3.5 months old, although I understand that I can’t invite a real newborn to perform, haha
Netizens mentioned that this baby not only has a clean body, but also has wide open eyes.
Although it is not possible to use real newborns in TV dramas, this presentation style is indeed hilarious.
Such things happen occasionally in TV dramas, as long as they are interesting
I remember someone mentioned, “Compared to my recently born child, it looks very much like my four month old baby. Actually, for a newborn baby, it should be small enough to be buried in the chest
Oh, this baby is so cute. It looks like it’s 5 months old. What, it’s only been 5 minutes since birth
If such a big baby were really born, although cute, it would be a significant burden on the mother. It’s not just a problem that can be solved by splitting the bottom
A netizen also mentioned, “It doesn’t look like a newborn at all. It’s about 2-3 months old. Only those who have been mothers can truly feel it
It is worth mentioning that the manga adapted TV series “Genius Gynecologist” that aired in 2015 was mentioned by several netizens.
This Japanese drama is themed around obstetrics and gynecology, and the filming team really invited real newborns to shoot, showcasing obstetric scenes in real hospitals.
Real newborns frequently appear in the scenes of ‘Genius Gynecologist’, and there is a dedicated webpage introducing these babies who participated in the filming.
Despite constant discussions among netizens, it is clear that using real newborns in film and television filming can be difficult. Although these roast are interesting, they are also the embodiment of understanding and tolerance.
