In addition to the refreshing Japanese atmosphere of Kore-eda's films, the most commendable thing is the life-like atmosphere that overflows the screen.
In the same scene, some idol dramas and modern dramas are characterized by a large, empty and spotless room, as if the protagonist does not live there, but comes to see the finely decorated room; Hirokazu Koreeda's shots are full of life, and every scene is full of life. Every detail shows that there are indeed such a few people living in such a space.
Of course, Minakami Hayato also pays great attention to this. He has made so many dramas and movies in the years since his debut, and he will copy them without thinking. Therefore, in the "Rurouni Kenshin" series, he paid great attention to the exquisite settings of the Meiji period. Of course, in the reminiscence chapter, a lot of effort was put into the hut where Tomoe and Kenshin lived in seclusion. One thing is that they accompanied Horikita Maki that night to "find the feeling of the characters". In fact, they could just stay there that night.
That house is so fake.
But Hirokazu-eda's shooting technique is not just about working in the background. As mentioned before, he will use other actors who are not captured by the camera, or who just pass by briefly.
Just like in "Diary of the Sea Street", if the camera is filming the conversation between the eldest sister and the second sister, then according to the general director's vision, of course it is only necessary to film the scene between the two, but Hirokazu Eda will let the fourth sister sit in the camera When eating outside, a shadow is used to hint to the audience that this space is not independent, but actually contains several people existing at the same time.
This "life-likeness" or "realism" is the unique charm of his movies. It is also the reason why his movies may look so plain and fresh, but the emotions they express are not the same at all.
Because the characters truly "come alive".
Thinking from this perspective was very inspiring to Mizunakami Hayato, but it was not of much use in the memorial chapter.
The places that can be used are like some multi-person shots in the tavern that Kore-eda Hirokazu proposed when looking at the camera. But the retrospective chapter mainly describes the story of Yukiyoba and Kenshin. When there are only two people in the camera, then It would seem a bit pretentious to use something to "hint".
Therefore, the most important thing for Mizuna Hayato currently is to do subtraction.
Throw away his idea of deliberately pursuing beauty and poignancy. Don't think about adding a white plum blossom here as a hint, a snow scene and a cloudy sky there as a foreshadowing.
If you're not good enough, just don't play too much. The most sincere ones are the most touching.
Movies, in the final analysis, still tell stories, but the methods and angles are different.
"And if the two faces of you and Horikita are on the big screen, even if it's a two-hour close-up, the audience will buy it." Kore-eda Hirokazu looked at Minakami Hayato with a strange expression.
"Hey, that's what I said." Minakami Hayato patted his chest and said plausibly: "I, Minakami Hayato, also have some artistic pursuits, right?"
"Simple things are not necessarily artless." Hirokazu Kore-eda said with a smile.
"Taking the path to simplicity and returning to nature, Director Kore-eda, you are this." Hayato Minakami said, giving him a thumbs up.
"Hahaha." Kore-eda was happy and gave a thumbs up as well: "Director Minamizu, you are like this too."
People carry people in sedan chairs, not to mention that Hayato Minato is not only a young and promising colleague, but also an asset with astonishing wealth. Kore-eda Hirokazu is also happy to communicate with him.
Then through exchanges, maybe there will be investment for the next movie?
In turn, Hayato Minakami actually fell in love not only with Kore-eda's directorial experience, but also with him as a person.
The directors of Stargaze are scarce resources. Hayato Minakami is good at fighting and killing, and Yuichi Fukuda is suitable for nonsensical comedy. They are both directors responsible for collecting box office, but there is no one who can win awards.
Although Mizuna Hayato is not very interested in awards, his confidantes are in great need.
The two hit it off and chatted more happily. Kore-eda Hirokazu agreed to help with the shooting after the reminiscence episode was completed, and Minakami Hayato agreed to make a cameo in "Umi Street Diary".
...
After the exchange between the two directors ended, Mizuna Hayato ran back and reported to the eldest lady what had just happened.
What just happened attracted a strange look from her.
"How come you are so good at deceiving men?"
"What words! What words are you calling!"
Mizuna Hayato was very unconvinced: "I want to call my lawyer! You are slandering me."
"Isn't it?" Fujiwara Nao crossed her arms and looked at him funny: "Especially the conditions you exchanged in the end. It seems that he helps you look at the camera and you guest star in his movie are very equal conditions, but "The Sea" "Street Diary" was originally your movie, so weren't you the one who ultimately benefited from the popularity of your appearance?"
"Ms. Kujo, please don't talk nonsense." Minato Hayato emphasized seriously: "This is "our" movie! "
"That has no effect!" The eldest lady turned her head to the side arrogantly, and continued without looking at him: "Also, you must play the second sister's boyfriend, right? I read the first version of the script, and these two characters are still good. If there are relatively intimate scenes, you would be reluctant to let others act with Nagasawa."
"Hey, you kid!" Mizuna Hayato raised his index finger and shook it for a long time.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze out anything for a long time, Fujiwara Nao looked at him again and said with an interesting smile: "Am I wrong?"
"Look at people... it's not. I mean, that's the only role I'm suitable for!" Hayato Minazin retorted: "Look, that character is a young and strong little wolfdog, so who else can I do?" Well!"
"If you don't believe me, you can audition." Minakami Hayato said and took action directly, grabbing her hand and pressing it on his abdomen.
Fujiwara Nao's little hand subconsciously moved, but failed to take it back. In the end, it was pressed on Minakami Hayato's abdomen without resistance.
"Wow, didn't you lose weight playing Kenshin?"
"Will losing weight affect the abdominal muscles?" Hayato Mizuna raised his head, looked at her nervous and slightly excited eyes, and asked.
"I don't know, I don't have one." Fujiwara Nao shook his head subconsciously.
"Really? I don't believe it."
"roll!"
...
Facts have proved that the eldest lady does not have abdominal muscles, but she has a waistcoat line.
…
"So we have to postpone the final stage of filming for a few days while I re-draw the shots." Hayato Minakami told Maki Horikita.
"No problem." Horikita Maki nodded and looked at his red face hesitantly: "But what's wrong with your face?"
"Oh, I went hiking."
"Why does mountain climbing..."
"Don't ask me why I want to climb the mountain. I can only tell you that the mountain is there."
Mizuna Hayato smiled and said a famous saying that everyone in the mountaineering world knows.
Horikita Maki was stunned for a long time and shook her head: "I don't understand."
