Chapter 117: We're all reminiscing about the old days
"Fujii tree. β
"To. β
When the teacher called the name, two people responded at the same time, and in an instant, the classroom burst into laughter.
The fact that a person with the same name appeared in a class was definitely the most fun thing in my student days, and of course my classmates made a fuss.
And these two people, Fujii Shu, a man and a woman, they looked at each other, said hello, and that's it.
However, the good times did not last long, and when selecting cadres, someone wrote the names of two Fujii trees on a piece of paper, and drew a heart in the middle.
Such a prank is common, but it was read out by the substitute class leader.
The female Fujii tree cried directly.
The male Fujii tree couldn't help it, so he went to do a fight, but fortunately, it was just a student fight, and it wasn't too ruthless.
Maybe this one has an effect, and the rumors of the love between the two Fujii trees have been temporarily suspended.
However, the two of them also became librarians together.
It's just that...
When you walk into the library, you can see rows of bookshelves, and if you look for the passage formed by the bookshelves, you will see a large table, which is the place of the administrator.
It was only as I walked in that the bookshelves on both sides slowly regressed, and only then could I see the situation of the two administrators clearly.
The men sat there with a smile, while the women were a little shy and reading.
This was the beginning of the Fujii tree for men and women.
......
This shot is really fantastic.
Shinobu Nakayama didn't expect her to be so fascinated by a single shot.
As before, Yuki Kusano will let everyone see it after the shooting.
When this scene was shown in front of everyone, it was still as before, praising and cheering.
Shinobu Nakayama was one of them, but she thought of it more.
She has also made a few movies before, and besides, Godzilla is a big production, so there is no problem in saying that she is well-informed.
However, she had never seen such a shot.
At the end of this shot, it is as if a person walks into the school library, sees two administrators, and then gets closer and closer, and then ......
Wait, who is this person?
As far as movies are concerned, we are all just looking at the images that the director makes us see, but here, there is a strong feeling that there should be a person who is watching, and we, the audience, are looking at these images from his point of view.
Thinking about it, Shinobu Nakayama somewhat understood.
This person may be Fujii Tree...
No.
This person should be us, or rather, we are also this person, and those two Fujii trees are not necessarily Fujii trees, but they can also be us.
It's 'we' who are looking at the 'we' of the past.
This shot captures the feeling of going back in time, as if you have traveled back in time.
Nakayama couldn't help but look at Yuki Kusano twice, and couldn't help but admit this guy's talent.
It's just that Shinobu Nakayama didn't notice that in this shot, Yuki Kusano still used his 'Absolute Positive Dafa'.
The shelves on both sides are not really the same height, but on top of the lower one on the shelf, there are two more books, so that they are 'the same' high.
Two Fujii trees, one hangs his head dangling, and the other is shy but serious reading.
Don't forget, boys are taller than girls, so even if Kashiwahara is holding his head, he is actually as tall as Matsutako who is sitting upright.
As for the things on the table, they are all kept 'the same height'.
So, another perfectly balanced center shot appeared.
Coupled with a yellowish filter, this gives you the feeling of traveling through time and space.
"Si Guoyi. When Kashiwahara Chong saw this shot, he was originally cool, and he couldn't help but say this.
Next to her is Takako Matsu in a school uniform, and she is similar at the moment, but she still can't speak.
In fact, Takako Matsu is different this time, this time she has a lot of roles.
And as far as this shot is concerned, she seems to have returned to the past.
Yuki Kusano seems to be particularly fond of using this technique, but the effect is really good.
I couldn't help but look at the superintendent twice, he was directing, preparing for the next shot.
Before the movie was finished, Takako Matsu inexplicably felt that this movie would be very good.
At this time, Kusano Yuki came over and took out a book.
"Look at this book. β
"Huh?"
"I'll tell you to read this book. β
"Oh. β
Takako Matsu had a little temper, but she still held back, after all, Yuki Kusano was the supervisor on the set.
What kind of book is it?
"Reminiscences of the Past".
Takako Matsu took it and couldn't help but flip through the two pages, because the book was mentioned in the script, and she really hadn't read it before.
But in fact, Takako Matsu's script, when she read it as a female high school student, has a feeling of time and space confusion.
As far as school uniforms are concerned, it seems that there are spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is strange.
Now there is this book again, combined with the shot just now.
Oh, I see...... It doesn't seem right.
Takako Matsu seemed to figure it out, but she didn't.
"Don't pull my back legs. Kashiwahara Chong left such a sentence and left coolly.
Takako Matsu complained in her heart: You little brat.
Well, the two are actually the same year.
After Yuki Kusano handed Takako Matsu a book, he didn't care about the eldest lady's performance.
No way, there are too many shots to shoot, and these shots are not easy.
In fact, in the original "Love Letter", the most incomprehensible thing is the 'timeline'.
It should be deliberate, Iwai Shunji didn't give a clear account of the time, and he just put some hints about time in very small details as if he was playing hide and seek.
For example, at the beginning, it was indeed the funeral of the male Fujii tree, but when Hiroko Watanabe and the female Fujii tree passed several letters, she found Fujii's home accompanied by Akiba, and she wrote a letter at the door.
The letter made it clear that Hiroko's fiancΓ© died two years ago, although Hiroko didn't finish it, but crossed it out.
From the beginning of the movie to this part, the time is not long, and there is no time marked in the middle, and there is not much correspondence between Hiroko and Fujii Shu, so it is difficult to make people feel that two years have passed.
Yuki Kusano was sure that it wasn't Iwai's mistake, he must have done it on purpose.
So, why?
It should be to create a sense of time and space confusion, so that we can better tell the story of the two Fujii trees back then.
This also coincides with the book "Reminiscences of the Past", which also has a considerable place in the history of Western literature.
Perhaps, our memories should be confused.
However, this brought considerable difficulties to the shooting, after all, it is winter in Otaru, so we can only shoot outdoor winter scenes, and indoor ones are easier to do.
It's all up to the skill of Kusano-san.
At this time, Assistant Director Sawada came over, "Kusano, the next shot ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Yuki Kusano replied directly, "Fujii Shu's return to school, I saw the former teacher, remember, don't use a yellow filter." β
"OK!" Sawada was very happy, he liked the way Yuki Kusano's junior worked.
Anyway, before Sawada came to Otaru to play the front station, he quickly discovered a kind of clothing that was quite suitable for the female Fujii tree.
The kind of hairy, with a plaid pattern, looks like a girl wears it, and it will be very lively.
And from the script, you can feel that Hiroko Watanabe should be quite rich, or at least not short of money.
I hope she can help shoot the sports field back then. Just send Fujii Shumail a Polaroid, this thing is quite expensive.
Therefore, Hiroko Watanabe should dress like a lady, and wear more black silk and suits on weekdays.
This satisfied Yuki Kusano, and Sawada felt that he was very capable.
But.
"What's next? I mean, after the school camera is done?"
Kusano listened and thought for a moment, "Wait for a snow, a big, big snow." β
Sawada understood that this was the scene when he heard it.
At this time, Fujii Shu came.
Miho Nakayama has been filming until now, she was a little ignorant from the beginning, but at the moment, she kept shouting Si Guoyi in her heart.
Anyway, the overseer of Yuki Kusano is indeed very powerful, although he is so young.
But in that scene in the heavy snow, Miho Nakayama, who is a big thing, still has a lot of puzzles.
"Superintendent, can you tell me about this scene? I don't understand, why did you arrange the scene where Fujii Shu is going to die?"
This question is normal, and this is the communication that should be.
But Yuki Kusano smiled at Miho Nakayama, "I've already told you about it before. β
Already talked about?
When?
Miho Nakayama looked confused, and Yuki Kusano was already busy with other things.
......
Outside the window, the snow is fluttering, and Otaru is a place where snow often falls.
The filming of "Love Letters" went quite well, but some shots still couldn't be filmed.
In the original version, in fact, there is a feeling of spring, summer, autumn and winter, of course, in terms of shooting angles, at least winter, spring, and summer must be shot, because spring and autumn are actually similar.
But if you shoot like this, the budget will definitely not be enough.
Kusano had to think of something else.
20 million yen, if it weren't for the tradition of big stars in Japan who are not well paid, this budget would not have been possible to complete the film.
It's like Chinese mainland in later generations, such as Miho Nakayama, a top star like Miho Nakayama, who doesn't even talk about it without smashing tens of millions.
So, from this point of view, it can be regarded as a grievance against Miho Nakayama.
As a result, Yuki Kusano is also extremely strict with this big thing.
Seriously, her acting skills are not bad, and she has such a high popularity, not just by her appearance.
The next scene is crucial, it is the climax of the whole movie, and this...
Knock, the door knocks.
"Who?"
"It's me. β
Kusano Yuki didn't expect it to be Shinobu Nakayama, so he opened the door and prepared to persuade the girl to retire.
I'm a serious supervisor, and there are always actresses in the room, which is too improper.
But I didn't want to, and the people walked in very generously.
"Superintendent, can you tell me why you arranged for Fujii Shu to get seriously ill and almost die in this scene? β
Yuki Kusano looked at her with big eyes, "Do you want to know, or do your sisters want to know?"
"My sister. Shinobu Nakayama replied generously, and then, "I want to know too, even more than my sister." β
That's where it gets interesting. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
