Youth that is nostalgic is pure and beautiful. Of course, youth films that can resonate with audiences need to be pure enough.
From the perspective of Hayato Minato, the original version of "Koisora" combines the standard elements of "bad youth movies" such as violence, sex, crime, abortion, terminal illness, etc., just to make the male and female protagonists accept setbacks and highlight them. The sincerity and purity of love.
However, Hayato Minakami believes that something that is inherently pure does not need to be set off with blood, and it is enough to arouse nostalgia in people's hearts.
In the version of "Love in the Sky" modified by Hayato Minato, the future of pure love youth films from many countries at home and abroad is stitched together.
First of all, it establishes a narrative method with the heroine Meijia as the main perspective. This is also true in the original plot, which begins with a narrative about Meijia's nostalgia for the past.
There are many advantages to using the female protagonist's perspective. First of all, there is no doubt that the main audience of this type of movie is women. Secondly, it can maximize the characteristics of Yui Aragaki and Hayato Minakami.
Yui Aragaki is young and beautiful at this time, with a youthful appearance. She can be called the nation's first love. Her sweet smile makes both men and women smile. In particular, female viewers will have a considerable sense of empathy.
What? Do you dare to say that I was not so beautiful when I was young? ! I was pure when I was young!
On the other hand, Mizuna Hayato is so handsome that he is earth-shatteringly handsome. Probably all girls will think of the most amazing person they have ever met in their youth after watching this movie.
The effect that Hayato Minakami hopes to achieve is: for women who have watched the new version of "Koisora", there are only two perfect men in the world. One is their first love in adolescence or secret love or dating; the other is Hayato Minakami.
When he became the first love object of all the women in Yingzhou, his golden body was completed.
Back to the plot of the new version of "Love in the Sky".
In the new version of "Love in the Sky", Hiroki is deeply loved by girls in school with his handsome face and cold personality, but Mika never thought that she would have any intersection with him. But Hiroki fell in love with Mika at first sight by chance. Later, Hiroki accidentally picked up Mika's cell phone in the library, and had an idea in his mind. He deleted all the contacts in the phone before returning it to her.
This scene where the male protagonist deletes his contacts and uses the identity of a mysterious person to talk to the female protagonist throughout the summer is from the original version. It is a good scene for the male and female protagonists to quickly enhance their relationship. So Minato Hayato didn't delete it.
Of course, if Hayato Minakami didn't have such a handsome face, it would be best not to randomly delete other people's contacts.
Then the scene where the male and female protagonists met, sent flowers, and sprayed out a rainbow from the water pipe in the flower bed has not changed. This scene is a classic scene in the original version of "Koisora". Back then, I don’t know how many people used the photo of Miura Haruma lifting the water pipe as their mobile phone wallpaper. Woolen cloth.
However, even after talking on the phone for an entire summer vacation and after this romantic meeting, Meijia still chose to stay away from Hiroki. The reason turned out to be because her good friend had said before that he liked Hiroki, so Meijia could never take action against him.
The plot of two good friends falling in love with the same person at the same time is very cliche, but it works well, at least it's not so bloody that it makes people resist.
After that, it was a common plot of a man chasing a woman. After several romantic plots copied and pasted by Mizuna Hayato, Mika finally put aside his hesitation and fell in love with Hiroki.
Then, what Hayato Minakami cannot change is the most important main plot of "Koisora", the plot of Hiroki's terminal illness.
Hiroki contacted Meijia's good friend who had been rejected by him. With her help, Hiroki finally broke up with Meijia and moved out of the town.
After the breakup, Meijia fell into despair, her grades plummeted, and she even began to skip school, feeling like she had given up on herself. At this time, the tool man's good friend came over to cheer up Meijia, and began to help her to find a new relationship.
However, Meijia, who was gradually coming out, accidentally heard the news about Hiroki when she was about to let go, and discovered the truth...
Next, there is the classic plot of life, separation and death in the original version of "Love in the Sky".
...
Except for the main plot of the separation of men and women and the male protagonist turning into "Sky", "Love in the Sky" can be said to have been changed beyond recognition.
To say that the new version of "Koisora" stitched by Hayato Minato is anything new compared to the original version and other youth films and pure love films, it actually has nothing new.
But at least, after the whole story, all the plot developments are enough to satisfy the word "pure love", and it may be something that may or even has happened to most people in their youth.
In this way, at least many years from now, when this film is picked up and watched again, it may not necessarily be regarded as a "pure love classic", but it probably won't be criticized as "sincere enough and bloody enough" like the original version. , mixed reviews.
At the same time, considering the fact that Hayato Minakami seems to be targeted by the PTA, maybe changing the bloody plot of the original version will prevent him from becoming the culprit of the increase in the abortion rate in Sakura Island.
Minakami Hayato's expectation for his fans is that the love between high school students should be pure, and even if you are jealous with your good friends, you are still young. But there must be no premarital sex, let alone killing someone.
Thinking about it this way, he is really a pure and good man.
...
The above plot changes were roughly made clear to the creative staff at today's crew meeting.
After reading the new script, the protagonists had different ideas in their minds, because after the plot change, almost all the attention of the drama was focused on the male and female protagonists. At most, add a second tool-woman. Many people have had their roles significantly reduced because of this.
However, Mizutaka Hayato doesn't care what most people think, because it's a done deal and they can't change it and they can't change it. He, the "Tiger of Stargaze", Mizuna Hayato, doesn't need anyone to teach him how to do things.
While the conference room was still quiet, Hayato Minakami took out the lyrics written by Izumi Sakai and said: "This is a new version of the new theme song, which is very suitable for this movie."
Then he said to Yui Aragaki: "Of course, the original insert song you sang will still be used."
Minato Hayato didn't take out this song to ask for advice, it was just a notification.
He had already decided on this song as the theme song when he communicated with the screenwriter and director this morning.
Not to mention that this song is Sakai Izumi's new work that has not been released for a long time, but the combination of Hayato Minakami and Sakai Izumi is enough to arouse widespread expectations.
The moment the director saw the songwriter, the image of using this song to edit the promotional video for "Love in the Sky" already appeared in his mind.
Because the plot has been significantly changed, Hayato Minakami is quite polite to the original author "Mika". After all, it is not uncommon for works adapted from the original work to be heavily criticized by fans.
But obviously he was overly worried. Who of the female readers who read "Love in the Sky" would have any objection to the plot he adapted?
