One night passed, and the eldest lady suddenly became interested in the memorial chapter. I guess it was because she was very interested in it after going to see it in person.
Of course, Mizuna Hayato would not veto her proposal. It would be discussed anyway, and Yukiyoba was indeed a character he had been struggling with.
The original casting of other characters in their previous lives was already quite perfect. The same cannot be said for Yukiyoba Arimura Kasumi. The only thing that has been criticized is that her temperament and face are too cute. In terms of temperament alone, He has another choice.
"Then...how about Arimura?" Hayato Minato thought about the news revealed by Yoshioka Riho yesterday and tested the eldest lady's thoughts: "I heard that she has been practicing for this role."
"Arimura?" Fujiwara Nao frowned: "There should be no problem with her acting skills, but isn't she a little too cute?"
"Not to mention the cold beauty of OVA, the manga version is not suitable for her either." Nao Fujiwara said.
Mizunami Hayato nodded. It seemed that the eldest lady said that she had completed all the versions not just for a temporary look, but for in-depth research.
The Remembrance Chapter of "Rurouni Kenshin" is generally considered to have two versions: the "original version" and the "OVA version". Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its fans.
Needless to say, the "original version" is a first-hand story created by the original author. The characters and plot are consistent with the previous story. The story of "Rurouni Kenshin" seems heavy and profound, and there is also some life-like content in it. , funny and cute, even in the tragic memorial chapter.
The "OVA version" is extremely ambitious and has changed a lot of details, making the story more serious. It also discarded some of the lighter content in the "original version". Generally speaking, such works that have changed the original work will not be popular with fans of the original work. recognized.
However, the OVA of the retrospective chapter of "Rurouni Kenshin" is an exception. The four episodes of OVA are well-drawn, from the graphics to the storyboards, and even the BGM are top-notch. They have been sought after by many people, and even more so. , believes that these episodes of OVA are "artworks" in animation, even surpassing the original work.
The movie version of the Memoirs of the previous life "Rurouni Kenshin" followed the content of the "original version", which also caused some disputes, especially fans who regard OVA as a masterpiece, pointing fingers at the movie version.
One of the difficulties in adapting film and television dramas from IP is whether to follow the content of the original work, especially when the original work is already good enough and the gems come first.
Although the first part of Hayato Minato's version of "Rurouni Kenshin" can be regarded as "rave reviews", there are also criticisms. Most of them accuse him of reproducing his appearance and makeup, but his height is too different from that of Himura Kenshin in the original work. Far.
There are some things that he can't 100% make up for with his makeup skills and photography skills. Hayato Minakami just needs to do his best to make his own version.
So when he was thinking about the following "Rurouni Kenshin" series, he was still weighing the proportion of adaptations between the movie version of the previous life and the original comic book. This was especially true when there was an extra version of the "Reminiscence" chapter.
So he changed the shooting plan, not only shooting the second and third parts in succession, but also shooting a memorial part simultaneously.
This was his inspiration from "Forest of Fireflies".
Because of the age range of the heroines in "The Forest of Fireflies", he chose to shoot it over a period of one or two years. Without considering the budget, this was the best choice. Now the audience thinks that the live-action version of "The Forest of Fireflies" is the most popular one. The reviews prove this.
The time span of "Reminiscences" is not so large, but it also spans four seasons. When shooting outdoor scenes, summer scenes and snow scenes are needed. Generally, the shooting is done in autumn and winter, or simply artificial snow is used, but he happened to be filming two "Vagabond" films. "Sword Heart", why not start filming the reminiscence chapter at the same time and directly use real scenes?
Perhaps because of the small amount of money in his pocket and the confidence given by the golden thigh of the eldest lady, Hayato Minato's approach as a director is becoming more and more like Christopher Nolan's real-life mania. Those who can shoot real-life scenes are of course the best.
Therefore, he decided to use the "original version" as the skeleton for the shooting of the memorial episode, and at the same time use real-life shooting to restore the beautiful images of the "ova version", each with its own advantages.
Hayato Minakami explained the above ideas to Nao Fujiwara in detail, and after getting her approval, he said: "So because of this time span problem, it is of course best to choose our own actors when choosing actors. The shooting schedule is easy to coordinate. If you don’t consider this issue, I think the most suitable person for this role should be Horikita Maki.”
"Maki Horikita?" Nao Fujiwara recalled the impression of the actress in her mind, then opened her laptop and searched for pictures to confirm again.
Hayato Minato and Maki Horikita have collaborated in "Doctor Mei", and Nao Fujiwara also knows her, but she is quite cautious when it comes to her favorite characters.
While she was weighing it, she seemed to see something. The corner of her mouth twitched and she turned the screen to Mizuna Hayato: "Is this the reason why you chose her?"
Mizuna Hayato looked at the screen with doubts, and was speechless for a moment. She opened a news article with a very direct title: "Decrypting the secret of Mizuna Hayato's favorite actress. He has called her a goddess many times."
Just by looking at the title, Hayato Minato knew exactly what the news was talking about, and he indeed called Horikita Maki a goddess many times in public.
"One thing to say, although I am a fan of Maki, I never choose roles based on my own preferences, but only based on their incompatibility." Hayato Minakami said righteously.
In Minakami Hayato's words, whether it's the name "Maki" or his saying "it doesn't depend on preference", they are all worth complaining about.
Fujiwara Nao is different from Minakura Hayato. She likes that "the good news does not go to outsiders." At the time of "Horror Live", she originally agreed to give Nogizaka a chance to the little idol, but later he gave it to a photo idol. This matter She was still angry for several days.
"But in terms of temperament, she is indeed very suitable." No matter how dissatisfied the eldest lady is, Horikita Maki's innate coldness in her bones and her exquisite facial features made her have to admit that she is very suitable for the role of Yukiyoba.
"Let them give it a try." Mizuna Hayato suggested.
"Audition?"
"Yeah, let them put on makeup and then actually act."
"Good idea." Fujiwara Nao nodded, thought for a while and then said: "You can tell them how you want to feel first, and roughly decide on the makeup first to give them some time to prepare."
The eldest lady likes the reminiscence chapter very much, and hopes to choose the perfect actors, even if it takes more time and effort.
"Okay, I'll contact them." Said Mizuna Hayato took out his mobile phone.
The eldest lady suddenly stared at him with an evil look in her eyes.
"Ahem." Mizuna Hayato put down his phone and said awkwardly: "Let's let the company send a serious invitation. Come, let's confirm other roles."
