The weather in Kyoto is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun stays above people's heads for longer and longer. After filming a scene, the makeup artists have to race against time to touch up the makeup of the sweating actors, making themselves sweat. Ground current.
The actors and even the staff in the crew complained about the hot summer from time to time, but even so, no one really took any action, let alone slowed down the progress of the crew.
The interspersing of several literary scenes in the early stage helped the crew get into the rhythm and state of shooting. The focus of the next shooting was each action scene that was so exciting that it was dizzying.
Handed over to the camera by Yuichi Fukuda, Hayato Minakami was ready and stood in front of the camera.
This is a shot from behind, shooting the back of the head of the male protagonist Kenshin Hiramura. In front is the gangster sent by the villain to cause trouble. Yes, this is another "hero saving a beauty", and it is also an important scene in the early stage of the movie.
"Indeed." Mizuna Hayato spoke and slowly walked forward: "What that lady said is the kind of innocent and foolish thing that someone who has never gotten his hands dirty would say."
"The sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is the art of killing."
"No matter how beautiful words are used to cover it up, it is always the truth."
Another shot captured the front of Mizuna Hayato. He didn't have much expression on his face. He slowly said one of the most classic lines in "Rurouni Kenshin" and looked at these people from left to right.
"But compared to this fact, I still prefer Miss Xun's silly words." He raised his head, faced the front, and smiled.
Himura Kenshin was once an assassin, killer, or executioner. His hands were stained with blood, including those of his enemies and those he once loved most.
After the arrival of the new era he was looking forward to, he could finally put down his sword and become a wandering vagabond incognito.
The encounter with Kaoru may be the guide of fate. The "Living Sword" she inherited and the ideas she spoke out may seem naive to a person like Kenshin who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but he also has what he expects. of beauty.
It has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, nor is it an injustice on the road. Perhaps just to protect Xun's "innocence", he came here and once again used the skills he had honed over time.
Only this time, it's not murder.
Perhaps in order to show respect for the gym, Kenshin took off his shoes and bowed to express respect when entering the gym. He didn't even draw his sword when he beat this group of people. He just chopped them down with a wooden sword. a group of people.
This action scene is a supplement to what Kenshin said just now. In such a "living sword" gym, he adopts a fighting method that does not endanger the lives of others.
…
This is a group battle scene. From the bare hands at the beginning to the use of wooden knives later, the design of this scene in the original movie is very exciting, and the flavor of Hong Kong movies cannot be concealed at all.
The action design of Mizuna Hayato also has his own style, among which the most iconic "multiple siege" shots of the elder brother are widely used. In addition, he also designed more tossing and jumping movements to reflect the "dexterity" of Kenshin.
One of the characteristics of Feiten Mitsurugi style is "super speed". At that time, the instant killing based on the tall body and the "quick and accurate" killing of every enemy when outnumbered are real battlefield killing skills, but at the same time Also eats the body very much.
Therefore, in the original work, the thin Kenshin is not the most suitable person for the flying sword style, and he will never be able to surpass his master.
However, as a top master, he also has his own characteristics, which Hayato Minazina thinks is "dexterity".
Kenji Tanigaki was also aware of this in the original movie. In this scene, many scenes of Kenshin traveling among many people were added, looking for opportunities to solve them one by one.
However, this series of shots seems to be a bit of a show off. Kenshin shuttled through the crowd for a long time, and even jumped out from under the crotch of someone's crotch. In one operation, he was as fierce as a tiger. Looking back, he still had to get the wooden sword before he started to chop people. .
But before this indoor fight scene, Kenshin had already beaten several minions with his bare hands, but that scene seemed clean and neat and had a "head-to-head" feel.
Mizuna Hayato made a lot of changes. For example, he started to let Kenshin show off his skills outdoors at the beginning, and then used the opponent's weapons to counterattack, and entered the group scenes in the city. He even made those that looked inferior, such as Actions such as "crotch drilling" were cut off, and the cool actions of "playing with" the opponent were enhanced.
Especially when he was acting cool, he also did not forget to add more moves to attack the opponent, so as not to make the scene look funny and make people laugh. It was most appropriate to be cool and defeat the enemy at the same time.
…
The person on the left raised his hand high and was about to cut off the knife in his hand. Mizuna Hayato took a step to the left and retracted into the person's arms, bumping his elbows, then moved sideways to the right and rushed in front of the other person, using the inertia of his attack. , pulled him along, and when he fell down, he attacked his neck with lightning speed...
There was a scuffle.
"Cut!" Yuichi Fukuda, who replaced the director, did not respond, but Hayato Minakami himself shouted stop.
"There's something wrong here. Come on, what you have here is too weak. It feels like you haven't used your full strength. No, hit it hard. I can dodge it. If you hit it, it's mine."
"And you, don't wave in the air over there. The audience will see you fishing on the edge. If you want to cut, just cut it. Pay attention to my movements. When I get to this position..."
"Then it should be like this on your side. Watch me beat it again..."
In the crew, the director is the one who coordinates the overall situation and controls the core person on the scene. An excellent director should have the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions, and firmly control the entire crew in his hands like a toy in his hand.
Yuichi Fukuda knew early on that Hayato Minakami was not just a new director, and he agreed to be his assistant director from the beginning. He did not underestimate him at all, nor did he think that he would become his "shooter" as some media speculated.
It's just that this guy, while he was acting in the fight scene, could still see everyone's positions and could detect something was wrong without watching the replays. Doesn't it seem like he is too useless as an assistant director?
But looking at the way Hayato Minakami taught the supporting actors by words and deeds, Fukuda Yuichi shook his head again. He really couldn't do this job.
While participating, he can also control the scene, and be able to do everyone's actions and demonstrate in person. This is the skill developed by Hayato Minakami, who has been active in front-line shooting scenes of action scenes for a long time in his previous life. Now, this skill has become his A great magic weapon when filming.
At the same time, the crew's camera for filming the behind-the-scenes footage is also running all the time. Thanks to his words and deeds for teaching the scene, when it comes to the movie, it will be part of the ending credits.
