The conversation between Tachibana Saki and Nokaze shows what the two characters are struggling with during this time period.
What Tachibana Saki was struggling with was that when he was packing his things that day, he accidentally saw the photo of Minami Jin tucked in the book. It was a photo of him and his fiancée, Tomo Nagami.
At that time, Tachibana Saki already had other thoughts about Nanfang Jin. When she saw Tomonaga Mirai's photos, she felt mixed emotions. So when she saw Nokaze for the first time in Yoshiwara, even though Tachibana Saki's gentle Personality, he couldn't help but become wary.
That's why when she was talking to Yefeng, she said that she envied her face.
Not only because that face was so beautiful that it could make any man fall for her, but also because that was the face that Nanfang Ren cared about most.
On the other hand, what Yefeng is struggling with is of course "freedom".
Even though there are only a handful of oirans in Yoshiwara, they are still oirans trapped in this small place. She was interested in Nanfang Ren, but she could only be interested and could not follow him like Tachibana Saki.
In terms of the above contradictions and the shaping of the character, Tachibana Saki is okay. It’s been more than half since her debut in the first episode. The audience already has their own opinions on her image here. Without too much foreshadowing, the audience will understand. to the inner world of the character.
The character Yefeng has only officially appeared in two episodes. According to common sense, to shape this character, an event may need to be unfolded from her main perspective.
However, the director did not spend too much time introducing her, but instead used more side descriptions of people and some short clips to establish her character image.
For example, in the main plot of Nanfang Ren going to the medical center, there is a small clip of Ye Feng interspersed.
In the oiran's exclusive room, Yefeng held the amulet of "The Great God of the South" that he ordered someone to buy from outside, and recited the name with a smile.
Then the two little girls respectfully called "Oiran" and put the two chrysanthemums they dug out into small flower pots.
The bright yellow chrysanthemums look even more beautiful under the sunlight.
Yefeng turned around and smiled as she watched the girls put the flowers into the pots. Suddenly, her expression seemed to darken. The two flowers reminded her of the girl she met that day.
The same freshness, purity, and vitality.
That's a sign of thriving in the outside world.
However, when these two flowers came here, they seemed to have become themselves, being raised in a flowerpot and trapped in the room.
...
If only this small clip is interspersed, some viewers may feel confused and unable to understand the deeper meaning of the plot.
But the imagery of these two flowers is connected with the plot of the last paragraph of this episode.
Because Nanfang Ren's fame is growing day by day, it gradually affects the status of the medical clinic, and their conversation with Nanfang Ren did not go as smoothly as they expected. Even because the doctor played by Sato Jiro had a gastric perforation, Nanfang Ren was Ren performed a laparotomy on the spot, allowing him to demonstrate his medical skills in front of everyone in the medical museum.
In current terms, it would be: "Damn it, he actually got it."
But at that time, their thinking was: "No, we can't let him continue to develop, we must kill him."
So several of them with ulterior motives began to discuss, looking for samurai, and looking for opportunities to kill Nanfang Ren.
But I don’t know if it’s to fit in with the plot, or if they’re just that stupid. When they were discussing bad things, they actually chose Suzuya where Nokaze was.
I don’t know who stipulated that if the protagonist is plotted against someone, some character will hear the news accidentally and find ways to inform the protagonist so that he can turn the danger into good.
In "The Good Doctor", this character is Ye Feng.
One of the wandering girls heard the news, came to Yefeng's room, and told Yefeng the news.
Yefeng was anxious. He stood up and was about to walk out to inform Nanfang Ren. However, Younu's words made her freeze on the spot: "Oiran, where are you going?"
Yefeng opened the door and was stunned when he heard these words. Yes, wherever I want to go, I can go wherever I want.
She couldn't leave Yoshihara at all.
In this scene, the director arranged another meaningful shot to make Yefeng look at the two chrysanthemums.
In the end, Nokaze chose to write a letter to Tachibana Saki and asked someone to deliver it.
In the letter, she wrote: "You said you envy me. But I envy you even more."
"I envy your pure heart, which is not contaminated by any ugliness. What I envy even more is your destiny. For example, being able to walk to the person you love on your own feet."
"But for me, this is an unattainable dream."
Nokaze squatted at the door of Yoshiwara, clasped his hands, and prayed deeply for Nanfang Jin and Tachibana Saki.
Here, the director switched to another close-up shot, which was of two familiar flowers, but they were not trapped in the flowerpot, but returned to the earth and were replanted in the wild.
Maybe these two flowers also represent her desire for freedom.
...
Regarding the use and editing methods of these "foreshadowings" and "images", Mizuna Hayato asked diligently while following the director. He was also lucky enough to see the director's storyboards.
When I was on the set before, I also saw how directors draw storyboards. Each director has a different style, and the way they use shots is also different.
In his previous life, Hayato Minakami had also been on the crew of a costume drama, but his experience at that time was not completely applicable to the current drama.
"The Doctor" is a special drama, with the theme of time travel, integrating history and modernity. Most of the actors in the drama have experience in stage dramas, and the overall atmosphere created is quite unique.
However, although the director of "The Good Doctor" has strong skills, it is not without its shortcomings.
The contents mentioned above all belong to the "literary drama" part. Although the director of "The Humane Doctor" is strong in literary drama, his martial arts drama is really crotch-stretching.
In the first episode, where the samurai were chopping down each other in the woods, Mizuna Hayato could actually see some hints of it, but it was a night scene after all, and the panic of the protagonist who had just traveled through time was also highlighted, so it didn't matter if the camera was a little messy.
But today's scene, where the samurai kills Nanfangren with a sword in the bamboo forest, is quite long to show the tension of Nanfangren being chased.
But how did the director arrange it?
"Well, Minamizu-kun, you have to act a little more panicked, preferably with weak legs, because you have never seen such a scene." The director explained: "Then the actor will rush towards you with a knife, and then Xiaoyao will kill you Just pull it open and it'll be ok, okay?"
"Wait a minute, director, you said to rush here..." Mizuna Hayato pointed to a place fifteen meters away: "You mean there?"
