No matter what Nanao was thinking, Hayato Minakami felt that he always had a great time shooting with her. Not only could he get her professional action cooperation, but he could also satisfy his mental needs for leg control. It was a pleasure to watch.
After several days of continuous filming, Minato Hayato packed up his things and returned to the crew of "High School 2".
Today he is going back to the set to shoot the last group scene.
In fact, it may not be appropriate to say that it is a group play, because this scene is a one-on-one scene between Takiya Genji and Kazuto, and the other juniors and other supporting actors are just watching from both sides.
In the timeline of "Hot Blood High School 2", Takiya Genji has conquered the entire Suzuran, and his opponent is Hosen Academy. After defeating this biggest opponent, it is time for him to graduate.
In Suzuran High School, there seems to be an unwritten rule. As long as everyone becomes the boss of Suzuran, they must challenge a mysterious lone ranger who is also Suzuran's strongest legend - Megumi Hayashida.
Megumi Hayashida also appeared in the first movie, but there was very little writing, and her highlight moments were basically in the original manga.
There are many original comics of Hot-Blooded High School. In the stage of Suzuran High School, the stories of several generations of protagonists are described. The protagonists of each generation have challenged Hayashida Megumi, but only the protagonist of the generation, Harumichi Shoya, has fought with him. There was a tie, and the rest were lost to him.
Megumi Hayashida is an insurmountable mountain for the protagonist of the hot-blooded high school manga. It breaks the law that the protagonist must win in the manga. Even if the other manga loses, the protagonist will have to practice and defeat him to be successful.
But "Hot Blood High School" didn't. Even Harumichi Shoya, who had tied once, lost to Hayashida Megumi in a duel when he was about to graduate.
Megumi Hayashida is the undefeated legend of Suzuran High School, the only man to graduate with an undefeated record.
If you are a fan of the original comics, you will definitely be very familiar with this mysterious and powerful character and talk about it. However, if you are an audience who only watches movies, it will be difficult to establish this image in your mind, so a key scene is urgently needed to make it possible. The character stands up.
This scene is the last battle of Genji Takitani's graduation, and it is also the farewell scene of this character. Even if a third part of "High School" is to be filmed in the future, he will definitely not be the protagonist.
Takitani Genji's final battle, against the strongest legend of Suzuran High School, is suitable for shaping the character of Megumi Hayashida, and it is also suitable for the ending of a passionate and lingering movie.
The duel between two delinquents, no matter how many story settings there are, is nothing more than an action scene where you go back and forth with fists and fists, which is what Hayato Minakami is good at.
However, Mizuna Hayato knew that it was not necessarily difficult to design the movements to look good in this scene. The difficulty was that the characters' personality traits were reflected in their movements.
Many people think that literature and drama are the only way to create characters, but this is not the case.
Literary drama can certainly enrich the character's image by exploring the character's inner world, but action drama can also allow the audience to see the characteristics of the character.
Think carefully about those classic action characters.
For example, the reckless police detective Chen Jiaju who dares to hang on a bus with an umbrella to chase criminals, Ip Man who has a calm expression and solid movements during a duel but also has the agility to show the master's temperament in every move, and even Da Che's enlightenment. Ah Xing who steps on his toes...
Mizuna Hayato believes that the playing styles and styles chosen by different characters can reflect the characters' personalities.
Of course, the characters in "Hot Blood High School" are all delinquents in the final analysis. Although they can be slightly exaggerated because it is a comic adaptation, they are not as cool and handsome as traditional martial arts.
This put a layer of shackles on Mizuna Hayato.
However, traditional martial arts are not very good, so free fighting and other routines that are not obvious to the audience can be used.
To sum up, Hayato Minakami designed the scene between Takiya Genji and Hayashida Megumi with distinctive characteristics. Takiya Genji has shown sharp and fast moves from the first part. This scene only needs to use them to the The ultimate is enough.
Megumi Hayashida is a character who appears less often, so she can take action in more directions.
Combining the characteristics of Megumi Hayashida's strong body with a strong back and waist, plus the strongest "S+" strength setting in the original work, Hayato Minakami's style is "meaty" and "open and close", in other words, "one force" "Reducing Ten Meetings".
"They said I designed it randomly, but I didn't design it randomly!" Hayato Minakami drew the action shots of this scene, and let out a laugh that scared Oguri Shun.
"Mizumi-kun?" Oguri Shun asked cautiously: "Don't design too difficult moves, you also know my strength..."
Maybe it was because Hayato Minato told him too many jokes about asking him to "turn 360 degrees in the air", but he gradually took it seriously and was always on tenterhooks.
Oguri Shun never expected it. Seeing that the filming of this movie was almost over, he almost felt relieved. Who knew that in the past few days when Miike Takashi had something to do and temporarily handed over the crew to Minakami Hayato, he would Just start making things happen.
"Let's shoot this scene as planned first, and then shoot it again according to my new design." Mizuna Hayato said to the crew at the time: "Anyway, it's a waste of time if the director doesn't stop production, so we might as well shoot one more version. .”
Of course, as the assistant director, Hayato Minakami has this power, not to mention that everyone knows who the main investor of this movie is, so how could he refuse Hayato Minakami's words.
"I'm doing this for your own good." Hayato Minato patted Oguri Shun's shoulder and showed him the action shots he had just drawn: "Look at this left kicking and right whipping leg, and you can tell whether they are handsome or not! Show off or not!”
Oguri Shun took a look and imagined the scene. It was indeed quite handsome, mainly because he could do it himself, so he nodded: "That is indeed quite handsome."
"That's right, practice hard! I will help you!" Mizuna Hayato said, patting his chest.
"Shoot yourself." Oguri Shun slapped his hand away, and then grabbed the action storyboard: "Wait a minute, please explain to me why I was punched several times in a row here. This is too bad. Bar?"
"So you are very brave?" Hayato Minato looked at him funny: "Have you read the manga? In the manga, Megumi Hayashida is a perfect ceiling, okay? How can a mere Takiya Genji still want to win?"
"Then it won't be so miserable..."
"It's not miserable, it's not miserable." Hayato Minazin explained seriously: "In the original design, the two fought back and forth, and it even seemed as if Genji Takiya had the upper hand. You can say that Hayashida Megumi still laughed after being beaten. To show that he is strong, that would be too subtle, and our movie doesn’t need that.”
