As may have been mentioned before, the reason why "The Good Doctor" is considered by many to be a model of the "time-travel drama" genre is because this drama perfectly combines the story with the historical background of the time.
Although the history of Sakura Island in this world is different from the previous life, it is still plausible. Major events such as the Meiji Restoration have not changed much.
There are also black ships in this world, and there are various familiar characters who have seen the country's loneliness and yearned for a new era.
The background of "Jin Yi" is before the Meiji Restoration, when most people were confused and the torrent of history was about to sweep forward.
As a modern doctor, Nanfangren traveled here and had no way to change the general trend of history. He could only use his medical skills to make the world a little better.
Perhaps when Hayato Minakami was filming the first part, he still couldn't fully understand how an ordinary person would feel in the context of such a big era.
So after playing the entire "Ryumaden" and following Sakamoto Ryoma's perspective through this major event that turned Sakura Island upside down, Minakami Hayato has a better understanding of this historical background, including what "Jin Yi" wants to express. Understand it deeply.
In addition, the "Rurouni Kenshin" he had decided to shoot actually took place during this time period, which allowed him to view the story of "Jin Yi" from a more macro perspective, and saw the story of "Rurouni Kenshin" including Jin Minami and Tachibana. The stories of the protagonists such as Saki, Kyoutaro, and even the doctors at the medical clinic, and these supporting characters became more vivid in his eyes.
It's like doing a math problem. Once you can look at a certain series of problems more broadly, it becomes much easier once you understand it. Hayato Minami feels that he will be able to play the role of Minami Jin again, and it will be almost within reach.
This was reflected directly in the script reading meeting before filming.
"Wow! As expected of the leading actor in a Dahe drama, this line is so great!"
Uchino Saoyang gave a thumbs up generously and praised: "Oh, I think I should ask Minakami-kun for advice on how to play Sakamoto Ryoma."
Everyone got along very well in the first part, and today's script reading meeting was also full of laughter and laughter. No, after hearing the words of Uchino Saoyang, the director also made a joke:
"It has to be you. If it were any other actor, he probably wouldn't dare to play Ryoma Sakamoto in front of Minamizu-kun."
"Ouch!" Uchino Saoyang slapped his thigh: "Yes! How dare I!"
The two sang in harmony, and Hayato Minazin felt his face getting agitated, and quickly stopped him: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I asked Uchino-san for acting skills. Didn't you see that my Sakamoto Ryoma was based on Uchino-san?" performance?"
Wearing a high hat, who doesn't know how to do it? A mere starring role in a Taiga drama is not enough to make Mizuna Hayato get carried away. Every one and two in the cast of "Jin Yi" are common faces in Japanese dramas. You can't see them when they look up.
But at the same time, he also expected that after filming a big river drama, and it is also a hit river drama that has ranked among the top two in ratings in recent years, he will probably be ridiculed by the crew in the early stage as he "returns with a great reputation".
What's interesting is that Hayato Minakami originally thought that among these voices, Ayase Haruka would be the most unscrupulous.
However, after a few days, I discovered that this guy seemed to have aged a few years and suddenly became mature and steady.
"What happened to Xiaoyao recently? Why do you feel weird?" Hayato Minazin asked Fukada Kyoko.
Fukada Kyoko glanced at Ayase Haruka who was studying the script carefully, showed a mysterious smile, and said teasingly: "What? Can't help but become concerned?"
"How is that possible?" Mizukami Hayato denied: "I just think the change came too suddenly. She was still the same when we had a party at your company last time."
"Wow, does she still look the same in your mind?"
Hearing this, Mizuna Hayato twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the two of them, and said, "Forget it, I think you are a little weird now."
Fukada Kyoko covered her mouth and burst into laughter, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that I can't tell you."
"No need." Hayato Minazin raised his hand and refused: "I'd better read the script carefully. Your plot will come tomorrow, so you'd better read the script too."
"Okay, okay~ Oh~" Fukada Kyoko pretended to be sad and sighed: "That's right, after all, I have to play opposite the leading actor of the Taiga drama, so I still have to work hard."
It’s like you’ve never acted in a Dahe opera before!
The joke about "the male protagonist of Taiga Drama" has been circulating among the crew for several days since the reading meeting. Even Kyoko Fukada teases him from time to time.
Of course, when faced with Fukada Kyoko, Minakami Hayato always has a special way of dealing with it.
He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Since Fukada-kun, you realize that your acting skills are weak, remember to come to the teacher's room tonight to practice your acting skills."
"Eh?" Fukada Kyoko looked at him funny.
"Remember to wear high heels and black stockings." Teacher Mizumi was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
...
Although everyone was laughing and firing outside the show, the overall tone of the plot of "The Good Doctor 2" is still sad. From the opening monologue to the BGM, there are also foreshadowings left behind in the previous episodes, even if there are some occasional The happy shots only show a moment, and it is difficult for people to feel relaxed.
But perhaps it is this that can better highlight Nanfangren's efforts to survive in this world in order to change the future.
Or maybe, it’s not just Southern Ren.
Just like the wild wind, in the last season, the wild wind bid farewell to Nanfang Ren in the beautiful heavy snow and rushed to the free world.
But the ups and downs of her life did not seem to change with her freedom.
She moved to Yokohama and settled down to teach children to read and write, intending to spend the rest of her life like this.
But the former Yoshiwara Oiran stood out like a chicken in such an ordinary place, extremely conspicuous.
In the first episode, a village woman came to her and said that the men nearby could not live in peace because of her presence, and used this reason to ask her to move away.
She returned to Edo again, this time she was not a noble and beautiful courtesan, but a poor woman in plain clothes, carrying a bag and wandering the streets confused.
When Nanfang Ren came to the street, he once again saw this woman who was exactly the same as his fiancée.
The first scene to be shot today is the scene where Nanfangren discovers Yefeng's figure on the roadside.
It was just an ordinary encounter, but quite difficult.
In the first season, when he and Ye Feng met for the first time, the dullness was more of shock and confusion. However, this "first encounter", in the dullness, needed to add some emotions of reunion after a long absence.
Or maybe... there is still some secret joy?
Mizuna Hayato carefully figured out the character's mood and prepared to seriously deal with Fukada Kyoko's self-proclaimed "evolved" acting skills.
