Chapter 146: Screenwriter VS Supervisor!
The Japanese language is really bad, but fortunately, Zou Zhaolong soon found out that the character who came to him was a very good person.
This young director named Yuki Kusano, his idea is really powerful, and he Zou Zhaolong liked this script very much when he saw it.
And this time I came to do martial arts, but what that Kusano Yuki said was very interesting, what is it called...... That's right.
We do technical poverty alleviation for Japanese action movies.
It's still in Chinese, it's not bad, it's interesting.
As for the previous 'Chang Wei', it's even more interesting, that movie was released in March, and this Yuki Kusano has already seen it, obviously he also likes Hong Kong movies.
In this way, Zou Zhaolong became familiar with Kusano, and then became familiar with Yongshan Kozo.
Seriously, I didn't know about this director who always wore a Hawaiian shirt at first, but later I learned that this guy turned out to be the prince of Shochiku, and the Hawaiian shirt became much better.
In fact, Zou Zhaolong didn't want to come to Japan, and moreover, it was this kind of action scene, not only to guide, but also to teach them.
What if these Japanese people learned it?
Not only in Japan, but also in Hollywood, they also want to learn the action design in Hong Kong kung fu films, and in this regard, it is true that our Chinese kung fu has a natural advantage.
But.
It's just that this drama is tens of millions of yen, and the salary is not low.
They give too much.
In fact, the overall treatment of Hong Kong filmmakers in this era is relatively low, not to mention martial arts, even those stars, there are many unknown sadness behind the glamorous.
Otherwise, there would not be so many bizarre rumors of incidents, such as a certain actress playing too high with a certain rich businessman, how to do it.
That is, several head stars can really make a lot of money, such as Big Brother Long, he really makes money and earns a lot, as for others, Fa Ge is one, and the other may be Ah Xing, who has been very popular in recent years.
However, the boss behind Ah Xing is very powerful, and it is not very clear whether Ah Xing can make money, at least Ah Xing's reputation is very powerful.
This is the case, Zou Zhaolong plans for himself, there is no problem, and he also thinks very clearly, after making a profit on the Japanese side, he will go to the United States to try, and the treatment there will be better.
There is nothing wrong with this in itself.
But soon, Zou Zhaolong found some problems that were difficult to solve.
The fight scenes in the summer special of "Shiqi" in the summer of 1994 are mainly concentrated in the second part, and now they are mainly doing some training, of course, some individual scenes can also be filmed, but they are still mainly training.
Chow Siu-lung immediately discovered that Japanese action movies were different from Hong Kong, and the director's arrangement was that there were more fight scenes for female characters than for male characters. This kind of arrangement is in everyone's mind, and it's nothing.
However, many of the requirements could not be met, although everyone was very serious.
What can I do?
On this day, Zou Zhaolong was still training everyone, and when he saw many beauties sweating, he couldn't bear it, but even so, there was a gap.
It just so happened that director Yuki Kusano came.
"Director, can you talk a few words? ”
"Okay. ”
Yuki Kusano was pulled to a secluded place by Zou Zhaolong, and the two of them had a good discussion about the action scene.
......
"That's ......"
"Yes, according to your requirements, it is necessary to have both strength and speed, as far as it seems, although they are all working hard, it is still difficult to achieve. ”
"Well, I know that, too. ”
"Director, should we think of something else?"
"This ......"
After listening to Zou Zhaolong's statement, Yuki Kusano was indeed very embarrassed, he underestimated the difficulty of the action scenes.
In fact, Ah Hui had already had an in-depth communication with him before this incident.
In short, pulling legs, a word horse or something, can be made, and it has been shown in front of Yuki Kusano, but it is difficult to meet the requirements.
Yuki Kusano understood from the beginning that in today's Japan, with a budget of 200 million yen, it would never be possible to shoot the level of the later "The Matrix".
That "The Matrix" is not only a whimsy, but also backed by powerful technology, and this technological gap of 200 million yen is not even a fart.
Movies are visual art in the end, and visual effects are all about money.
So, what to do?
Yuki Kusano naturally knew that this was difficult, and besides, he had thought about this situation before, and as for the solution, he had also thought about it, but this matter had to be discussed with Kozo Nagayama.
......
Regarding the situation in terms of action scenes, the superintendent of Nagayama Kozo has also understood, and he has also thought of a way, although he is not sure that this method will turn out to be very good, but at least it is a way.
Unexpectedly, Yuki Kusano came to him to talk about it.
"Kusano, in fact, I watched the action scenes, and overall there is still a lot of improvement, but now it seems that we need to lower the standards. ”
"I agree to lower the bar, so, what is your solution?"
"This ......"
"I actually have a plan. ”
Kozo Nagayama saw Yuki Kusano, and the two of them quickly got straight to the point.
The last thing you need for this kind of discussion at work is a human relationship, and the two people seem to be quite interesting, that is, they both agree that the other party should have a solution.
"Okay, let's talk about it together. ”
"Yes. ”
Is it really possible for two people to come up with a plan at the same time?
But I heard the two of them say very simple words at the same time.
Kozo Nagayama: "Animation!"
Yuki Kusano: "Postponed!"
After speaking, the two looked at each other for a while, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange.
Kozo Nagayama began by explaining his 'animation' proposal: "My idea was that since real people couldn't achieve the visual effects we wanted, we would just use animation to take advantage of Japan." Kusano, you should be able to understand what I said, it's not a complete cartoon, it's just inserting animation when entering the fight scene, so as to complete the shot that we actors can't do at the moment. ”
Yuki Kusano also directly explained his plan: "Postponement, it can be said that it is a very stupid method, that is, continue to train, continue to let the actors complete our action requirements, although it is true that it may not achieve the best effect, but it is still the actors through hard work to achieve." It's just that doing so will definitely increase the filming time of the lower part of this special, that is, it can't be released at the same time as the upper part. But after all, this is the lower part, and after the upper part is broadcast, we can make the audience wait for a month or simply three months. ”
These two people are very interesting, they are both straight to the heart of their thoughts, without considering each other's feelings, so, now?
"It's going to be easy to make! And the level of animation in Japan is enough to make that kind of visual impact!"
"But our SP is a live-action star, and the animation appears, which is equivalent to showing our incompetence to the audience!"
"What does the postponement mean?
"Then ask the station to increase the budget! I am confident that this SP will get high ratings!"
"You guy!"
"Nagayama-san, there are some places where I can't compromise!"
Soon, it rose to the point where it seemed like a quarrel.
But in fact, this is a collision of the wills of two people, Yuki Kusano is the screenwriter of this play, but Kozo Nagayama is the supervisor, in the Japanese drama, the screenwriter is indeed the core, but with supervision, then, overall, you still have to listen to the supervision.
The quarrel that is happening right now is too normal, or rather, it should have happened a long time ago.
So, who can convince whom?
"Kusano, do you want to tell me now, just let the actors decide?"
Kozo Nagayama mentioned such a thing.
Yuki Kusano shook his head, "I won't do this, if I do, then I'm too unprofessional." In our industry, actors are actors, not that they can't give advice, but their main job should be to perform hard and play their role well, and the rest should be decided by us, if I do this, it will be tantamount to exposing my own incompetence. ”
The voice was not loud, but the momentum was quite strong.
Nagayama Kozo couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this, "Kusano, you are really powerful, haha......"
In fact, Prince Shochiku knows very well in his heart that if the actors are really allowed to choose, that is, put these two plans in front of everyone and let everyone vote, then it is estimated that most of the main actors will choose Yuki Kusano's plan.
Although that plan seems stupid, just blindly training hard, but that plan is their actors working.
In addition, most of these actors are not determined by Yuki Kusano.
So, Yuki Kusano is tantamount to giving up a chance to win, what does this mean?
Nagayama Kozo smiled and then said, "Kusano, you are really pure sometimes, I envy you. ”
Yuki Kusano didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only smile, "I just think that even if the two of us quarrel like this, I won't be fired." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them, who were arguing fiercely just now, burst out laughing.
......
Not long after, Fuji TV announced a broadcast plan.
The 1994 "World Wonderful Story" summer special will be broadcast in two parts, of which the upper part will be broadcast on August 11, and the lower part will be broadcast in November.
This is the first time that the "World Wonderful Story" series has been broadcast in this format, and it is equivalent to a summer special becoming a summer and autumn special.
Never!
So, as soon as this broadcast plan was announced, it immediately sparked discussions among many fans.
"Shiqi" already has a lot of fans, after all, this is a TV series that has been produced for more than three seasons and has a lot of episodes.
Everyone is basically discussing one issue.
It must be a big move!Recommended reading: "Reading File 2013"
