Megumi has always liked Kenshin silently, which is unquestionable by her mother. Normally, Megumi and Kaoru would have some "jealousy" scenes in the original comics. Most of the time, it was shown with the fox-like Megumi teasing the innocent Kaoru.
In the plot of Kenshin's trip to Kyoto, there is such a scene, and Hayato Minakami excerpted it:
After Kenshin left, everyone in the protagonist group had their own ideas. Zuo Zhizhu was very angry, while Kaoru was very depressed and couldn't even eat while staying in the gym.
Megumi expected Kaoru to follow Kenshin to Kyoto, which surprised her.
With a bit of anger, she came to Xun's room and mocked: "I didn't expect you to still stay in a place like this~"
Kyoko Fukada often plays silly and sweet characters outside, but in Mizuna Hayato, she plays the role of a fox-like charming and mature big sister. After training in "Jin Yi" and the first part, her sarcastic expression is extremely good, covering her mouth He smiled and said, "What am I doing here? Of course I am here to laugh at you, a civet girl who was dumped by Xiao Jian~"
Masami Nagasawa showed an angry expression at the right time, which was a little exaggerated, but it was exactly the comedy effect that Hayato Minazawa wanted to add to the movie.
Saying that, Kyoko Fukada took out a small exquisite box and threw it away coolly: "This is a medicine passed down from my family. The little sword also boasted that it is very useful."
"I think the little sword needs it very much now." She raised a smile in the direction of Masami Nagasawa: "But it's useless to leave it to you. I think it's better to leave it with Yahiko."
With such a scene of confrontation between two women and mocking lines, it is obvious that this is a Shura field-like plot of "two women fighting for their husbands".
Mizuna Hayato has escaped the sanctions of the Shura Field countless times outside the play. Now he can watch the development of another Shura Field behind the surveillance camera, which really makes him feel happy.
Kaoru, played by Masami Nagasawa, retorted, "You can send them to Kyoto yourself." Megumi, played by Kyoko Fukada, argued, "I don't have to sit at home like you, with so many patients waiting for me to see them. "
And this war of words evolved again after Masami Nagasawa's next line: "The patient is more important than Kenshin, right? In other words, Miss Mei, your intentions are nothing more than mediocre..."
Fukada Kyoko's eyes suddenly became sharp. She raised her right hand high and waved it towards Nagasawa Masami's face...
Although Minakura Hayato knew how the plot was going to develop, he was shocked by Fukada Kyoko's sudden change in expression, and then his eyes widened and he looked more seriously at the drama between the two top Sakura Island actresses in the camera.
Finally, after the classic "This is how I feel about him" and "Only people like you who have done nothing deserve to say anything about me" and other comic-like and slightly middle-of-the-road lines.
The scene that Hayato Minakami was most looking forward to came.
Nagasawa Masami shed tears and her body trembled: "Sister Xiaohui, you won't understand."
"He said goodbye in front of me! How could you...understand my feelings!" She shouted this line loudly.
"Okay, okay, No. 3 will cut to the full view, No. 4 I want to see Hui's hand, yes! Perfect!"
One shot, under the instruction of Hayato Minato, showed a close-up of Fukada Kyoko's hand on the door. She held the door tightly, and her body language told her inner unrest. However, under the panoramic view of another shot, her expression was different. Extremely peaceful.
"Yes, I don't understand." Kyoko Fukada's tone was as calm as her expression. She glanced back at Nagasawa Masami, then turned her head away, leaving her with a back view: "But let's talk about each other, he didn't even say goodbye to me. Tell me, you don’t even understand how I feel.”
As the two actresses got better and better, Minato Hayato subconsciously lowered his voice of instructions. Even if he was in another room, he would not disturb them at all.
"Okay, No. 1 will be on Xun's face, No. 2 will continue with his back, and No. 6 and No. 7 in the courtyard will be ready."
All the shots are arranged to capture the micro-expressions and small movements of the two actresses in all directions.
"Before you say anything rude...you should sort out your mood."
After Kyoko Fukada finished speaking, she walked forward without looking back.
The camera switched from Nagasawa Masami's stunned crying face to Fukada Kyoko's silently weeping face.
...
"Okay! Go!" Mizuna Hayato shouted loudly.
In fact, when it comes to adapting a relatively long manga like "Rurouni Kenshin" into a movie, there are always choices to be made. The director of the movie version in the previous life focused on action and Kenshin's perspective. On the background of historical changes, the theme of the entire movie series appears grander and more blockbuster-like.
But Minato Hayato believes that the love between family and country is always indispensable for the love between children. Even if some people think that such a battle-themed work with so many romantic things is too overwhelming and unnecessary, he always thinks, Only characters with emotions can become living "people".
He could follow the original movie to tell the history, talk about "killing" and "rescuing people" and other philosophical concepts, but similarly, he didn't want his swordsman to only have these, so he stubbornly added some of the original works and even the original works. There are no comedy elements, but there are also things like the two female characters' feelings for Kenshin.
Of course, the consequence of this is that his movie will run out of time again.
"Rurouni Kenshin", as a manga-adapted movie, has already screened out a group of people who don't like this theme and don't like anime. Now that it lasts for more than two hours, many people have watched it for a long time. Afraid to go into a movie theater.
But this is excellent news for fans of the first film. As long as it is a work that you like, who doesn't want it to be as long as possible.
"It doesn't matter, there's still station S!" Mizukami Hayato thought about it and didn't care anymore.
You may be scared to go to the cinema for three hours, but it may not matter if you turn on the video at home and lie down and watch it for a day. He earns the high box office and the high broadcast rate on the S station. In short, he will never lose money.
...
Mizuna Hayato found that Fukada Kyoko's performance was unusually good and she seemed to be particularly emotionally involved. After a few weeks, her role was completely over.
On this day, after going over the contents of today's shooting, Minato Hayato received the bouquet prepared early from the staff, walked to Fukada Kyoko in person, and handed it out:
"Okay, that's it for today. Our "Megumi" scene has come to an end. Let's congratulate Fukada Kyoko-san for wrapping up~"
"Thank you~Thank you!" Fukada Kyoko took the bouquet.
"Can you say a few words?" Mizuna Hayato asked as usual.
When Hayato Minato shoots a movie, he always has a documentary camera running. Especially since "Rurouni Kenshin" is a series of movies, it can't be done without recording. It's also customary for the actors to say a few words when they finish filming.
"Since I am asked to say a few words, then I will say a few words." Kyoko Fukada agreed.
