From "Symphonic Lover's Dream" to "The Proposal Battle" and then to "CODEBLUE", Hayato Minakami has a deeper understanding of the way characters are created in Japanese dramas.
Just like writing about the "three golden chapters", it is also very important to explain the background of the characters in the first episode of a Japanese drama.
Generally speaking, the first episode of a new drama is always extended by half an hour, and this extra half hour is enough for the screenwriters to come up with unique ideas and explain the background of the characters through various short stories. Even the biggest personality of the character is established.
In "The Good Doctor", Tachibana Saki, played by Haruka Ayase, is an innocent, kind, gentle and pleasant girl with a strong will.
Tachibana Saki's appearance was in an emergency operation state. Faced with various requests put forward by Jin Nannan, she was puzzled but obeyed obediently. First of all, she established the impression of a cute and docile young lady in the audience's mind. .
Then when Nanfang Ren encountered an emergency, she firmly stood on the opposite side of her mother. Her act of helping even if she could not return to the Tachibana family again showed her independence.
In the first episode, Tachibana Saki's most important scene was probably when she ran out of the house with Ryoma Sakamoto, but met a big shot on his trip. According to the rules of that era, when a big shot went out, ordinary people could only kneel on the ground and wait for the big shot to pass before they could move forward.
However, life was at stake, and they had to race against time. Sakamoto Ryoma made a suggestion: "If you are a stable woman, you should be able to get through."
In the past, the status of a stable mother was very low, and women who had not left the government were not allowed to be a stable mother. What's more, Tachibana Saki was the daughter of a samurai family. Calling herself a stable mother could basically be said to be "treasonous".
But after being surprised for a while, Tachibana Saki agreed without hesitation and ran forward with the surgical props in hand.
Because at that time, apart from the emperor's travel, the two most important words were life and death. Deliveries and funerals had priority. If Tachibana Saki wants to get to Minami Jin in time, this is the only way to go.
So when she was questioned by the guards, she folded up the skirt of her kimono. This was a dress only worn by married women. As a young lady from a samurai family who had not left the palace, she could be said to have left all her dignity behind.
Just such a plot is enough to contrast the character of Tachibana Saki with the ignorant image when they first met, leaving a deep impression in the audience's mind.
Contrast and conflict are perhaps the best ways to leave an impression.
The same is true for Nanfang Ren. When he was on duty at the hospital in the early days, the new doctor strongly asked him to operate on the patient. He just smiled and said that his medical skills were not as good as other doctors. This even caused the new doctor to misunderstand him, but he still acted like that. It doesn't matter.
However, at the end of this episode, after a simple operation without anesthesia, he finally collapsed and revealed his true self...
...
"Okay, let's try to get it over with once and for all!" the director shouted, "Every department is ready, action!"
Mizuna Hayato stood on the edge of the "cliff", looking up at the golden sunset with a complicated expression.
"I thought you ran away somewhere again." Haruka Ayase held a bundle in both hands and walked towards Hayato Minazinaki in small steps with a smile, her voice sweet.
Mizuna Hayato's mouth opened, his eyes changed rapidly several times, and his bitter mood was palpable.
"What's wrong with you? Doctor."
"This...is a place I used to come often."
"You mean you live around here?"
Yes, isn’t it just around here? How many times has Nanfang Ren watched "the most beautiful sunset in the world" with the person he loves most in this position.
But the beautiful scenery is obviously the same, but the people around me are no longer around.
Subaru Hayato embodies Nanfang Ren's emotions, and for a moment he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a recalling smile, but it quickly changed into a sad expression:
"But not here."
"It's not here."
Tears filled his eyes, and his mouth seemed to be smiling, but more like gritting his teeth, and he said:
"It's not... such a beautiful place."
"It can't be so beautiful."
His emotions burst out.
Nanfang Ren's guilt about his fiancée's failed surgery, his longing for his fiancée, and the powerlessness he felt after arriving in ancient times all came together to form a huge stone that "thumped" towards his heart, which seemed to have been dead water for a long time. It was thrown down with a sound.
Countless water splashes flew up, and the tears he had suppressed for a long time finally fell.
This is not the first time for Mizuna Hayato to perform a crying scene. Every crying scene is different.
Take Lanze's crying scene as an example. An emotional catharsis in front of Lanze's grandma is the most real place in the heart of a man without emotional fluctuations. No matter how clear his purpose is and how excellent his medical skills are, in front of his own grandma, , still crying like a child.
However, Nanfangren is different. He is a mature man. Faced with life, separation and death, he may have his own way of dealing with it. After his fiancée became a vegetative state, he has been suppressing himself and smiling all the time when he meets everyone.
The tears after he finally broke down would have been better if he had been more restrained than Lan Ze.
Mizuna Hayato chose to cry silently here. He lowered his head and knelt down on the grass as if he was helpless and repentant.
After starring in several film and television dramas, Mizuna Hayato's acting skills have made great progress, and he has never stopped thinking about acting.
Compared with the previous dramas, "The Good Doctor" has a higher purpose and a more restrained and in-depth plot. He needs to show his best acting skills. For this, he even used his previous life experience to make him more adaptable to this age. A character befitting his current age.
If the director likes to use an actor to polish the camera as a way of showing off, perhaps Hayato Minato's explosive crying scene is his "showing off" to others.
However, Haruka Ayase is indeed a talented actress. She was like doing Tai Chi to "receive hair", easily catching Hayato Minazin's scene with her healing smile: "Let's go back."
Perhaps this is also due to Tachibana Saki's character setting. When she saw Nanfang Ren collapse, she didn't ask anything. She still told him with that warm smile:
"Until the doctor remembers everything and returns to his home, the Tachibana family is your home."
When Ayase Haruka raised her finger and pointed to the jungle path, the director happily shouted "pass".
Just like that, the first scene in which Hayato Minato and Haruka Ayase really tried their best to fight was successfully filmed, once and for all!
“Want to eat beef jerky?!”
Minato Hayato turned around and saw Ayase Haruka taking out beef jerky again and biting it, while blinking at him.
Well, maybe he was the only one who tried his best.
