The reason why Mizuna Hayato was able to play around so easily and take the posters himself is because this movie is really not difficult to shoot.
It’s also a movie with a finished product in mind, but unlike the reminiscences, there aren’t many places where he can use his magical powers. The structure of the original movie is complete, and everything from the atmosphere to the bGm behind the scenes is excellent enough. If Hayato Minakami, who is not good at this type of movie, is asked to change it, he might even add something superfluous.
The main reason is that there are too few objects that can be copied and moved.
But Mizuna Hayato didn't have much pressure, and he didn't say that he had to make this movie in his own style. After all, if it hadn't been for Kasumi Arimura's promise to make a movie for her in advance, he would have done the same thing, come up with an idea and then find a suitable director to start filming.
The main goal of Hayato Minakami this time is to restore the excellence of the original version and at the same time reflect his presence as a director in small details.
Take this scene for example.
Sayaka dyed her hair blond during her break from school. On her mother's recommendation, she enrolled in a private school that changed her destiny.
She didn't like studying at first. With Teacher Pingtian's encouragement and motivation, she began to seriously study the knowledge that she had missed before. Those were very basic knowledge, but she had to learn it from scratch.
Her advantages as a heroine are shown here. Even if she has fallen behind so much, even if it is something that seems simple to others, she will not give up on herself at all. She is optimistic and cheerful, and makes progress stumblingly. Even if she is wrong, she will not give up. Still laughing and continuing to work hard, she didn't take it seriously. With Arimura Kasumi's innocent and cute face, she seemed to have the meaning of a "idiot beauty".
Gradually, she seemed to get used to studying hard. Even during daily gatherings with friends, she would study beside her with books and notes.
This scene was the night when their "hot girl quartet" came out to sing karaoke. When they heard Sayaka say "type B", the three little sisters who also didn't learn immediately discussed the "type B" blood type of love. question, until Sayaka explained that it was an English problem.
Among them, the most attentive sister, played by Mio Imada, noticed the notes she had been writing when Sayaka was singing. Looking at the full notebook, she realized that her friend, this time seriously.
In the final analysis, this scene is just a small clip showing friendship, which seems a bit inconspicuous in the entire movie.
But this is the magic of Japanese fresh movies. They can use these small details to combine into a whole excellent movie, with a strong flavor of life. This kind of life flavor can be seen in professional dramas and inspirational movies. Film has great advantages.
Turning back to the topic, the song Sayaka chose to sing in the original movie is actually from AKb48. It is a cute and brainwashing song. It was the most popular song of AKb before it came out last year.
You can actually use or, because these two songs are simple, brainwashing, and lively, and they are extremely suitable for singing together when friends get together.
But Minato Hayato had just finished cutting off with AKbGroup some time ago, so how could he "capitalize the enemy"? Of course he chose his own Nogizaka songs.
It just so happened that Nogizaka released a new single a few days ago, so we can take advantage of the trend to promote it.
Although I don’t know where to send it to when the movie is released, it’s better than funding the enemy.
Minato Hayato picked this song carefully, because for no other reason than it sounded more lively and fit the plot.
Originally, this short clip only took a short while to complete. There was no difficulty in either the actor's performance or his directing, but our director on the water was unwilling to be lonely.
He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to Kasumi Arimura: "Quick, Arimura, learn how to dance to this song from Nakata and the others."
"Ah?" Arimura Kasumi was stunned, opening his mouth in disbelief, and looked down at the script: "But the script says..."
"There is only one line written in the script, right? But how do you know which line I will use? You sing and dance first, and after dancing a song, I will see which line to choose." Hayato Minakami confidently added more questions to the female lead Require.
"And you, Mio, follow suit."
"Ah? Me? But my script..." Mio Imada couldn't believe it even more. Her role required her to discover Sayaka's notebook. There was a scene of Sayaka having one sentence, but she didn't have one. Do you want to learn it too?
But she also thought about how Minato Hayato had told her to learn from Arimura Kasumi from the beginning. Maybe this was also a part of learning.
It's really not challenging to shoot, but Mizuna Hayato is so bored that he has to increase his workload.
It's just that none of the few in front of me stood up to resist strongly. They just looked embarrassed and finally agreed.
The other staff members didn't even say anything. Hayato Mizuna was back to playing and having fun, and the shooting plan was perfectly planned. There were almost no wasted shots. The schedule was fast forwarded significantly. He took the time he saved by himself. It’s not impossible to play.
...
In order to maintain their appearance, Stargaze has dance training for its actresses, so it didn’t take too long for Kasumi Arimura and Mio Imada to learn. This is also because Nogizaka’s songs and dances are basically not difficult. Within minutes they were dancing in style.
Soon, Hayato Minakami successfully captured the scene of Arimura Kasumi performing an idol dance.
He nodded with satisfaction and picked up the loudspeaker: "OK, OK, let's keep one shot, and shoot another one singing the first two lines of "ダンケシェーン", which is the version we planned from the beginning."
Arimura Kasumi had a bad premonition in her heart.
"I think the version from the beginning is better," said Hayato Mizuna.
After saying this, he suddenly felt a murderous aura. He looked up at Arimura Kasumi's puffed-up cheeks and said with a smile, "We can cut out the extras for the full version, so you don't learn in vain."
This doesn't sound comforting at all.
...
Most of the time, Hayato Minakami made small modifications like this to "tease" the female lead, Kasumi Arimura. During the banter, he actually filmed a lot of clips that could be used as extras.
In the blink of an eye, the short scene of the three hot girls was almost over. Even if Minakami Hayato deliberately extended their shooting plan and let them stay on the crew to experience shooting, the length of the scene was limited to that, and there was no way.
Today is the last scene, a hot spring scene.
