Chapter 330: But We're Still Alive
"Please come in. Junko, Minoru Kono's wife, said to the two.
Junko is three years younger than Minoru Kono, and now she is over fifty years old, she is of medium stature, and her appearance is ordinary, but in terms of first impressions, she gives people a feeling that she has a good temper and cultivation.
"Excuse me. Ye Zhao and Takeda Jun owed, and under her guidance, they entered the door and were taken to the reception room of the Japanese room. Here, they met Minoru Kono himself.
After the usual greetings, Minoru Kono said in a slightly emotional tone, "It's been more than 30 years. After sighing, there was a slight sadness in his expression.
At this time, Minoru Kono's wife, Junko, brought coffee and cake for the guests, and after dividing the cups and saucers in front of them one by one, Junko sat down next to Minoru Kono and naturally joined in.
"I really didn't expect that thirty years later, someone would want to shoot Michiko again, and what is even more surprising is that the person who wants to do this is you, Ye Zhaosang. ”
In this unexpected, in addition to the fact that the person who accidentally wanted to remake Michiko Oshima's incident into a movie was a young man who was very far away from the time of the incident, it was also because Ye Zhao, who wanted to do this, was not a professional director.
"I read the letters of Kono-san and Miss Oshima and was deeply moved. Director Takeshi Saito made films in the 60s, but those are very far from now. That's why I thought that if I could, I could make a movie about these things so that the younger generation could also learn about Miss Oshima's deeds. Ye Zhao explained.
Not only that, but in this film, in addition to showing how Miss Oshima, who is the deceased, fought against the disease with the support of Kono-san, I also want to consider as much as possible the feelings of Kono-san who stayed behind as a living person after Miss Oshima's death, and Junko-san, who supported Kono-san. ”
"Our mood is ......" Compared to Minoru Kono, Junko's expression was obviously more natural when she mentioned these things, "To be honest, before deciding to get married, I also made a lot of determination, and my husband and I are probably also ready to realize what the consequences will be if this matter is made public." ”
But even so, they chose to get married.
"Even so, after deciding to get married, there were times when I regretted it. Junko said, "At that time, I was moved by what happened to him and Miss Michiko, so didn't he, who now has feelings for me, leave behind what I hold dear to me?"
"However, it occurred to me that although the reason why I decided to get close to him was because of his affection for Miss Michiko, it was not only this that really made me want to marry him and become his pillar. ”
Moreover, in the process of regretting, I gradually understood that the so-called starting a new life does not mean severing the connection between the past and the present, but moving forward with the past in another way. ”
"Even if the media says that we are a bad combination of betrayers and saboteurs, life is so long, and we still have a long way to go. Junko said.
What's more, in the end, it was not the media and the public who crusaded against them at that time that really remembered Michiko Oshima and made her "survive" for a long time in the form of memories, but the couple who were once in the whirlpool.
"I think the fact that Kono-san is alive is in itself a continuation of Miss Oshima's life. Ye Zhao moderately joined the topic when Runzi confided and expressed his own opinion.
"Michiko was a journalist with the goal of becoming a journalist and was admitted to university, and I thought that even though she had passed away, I couldn't do anything for her, so I thought, why don't I do what she wants to do for her. Minoru Kono said.
Ye Zhao and Minoru Kono did not discuss topics such as movie adaptations all at once, but chatted like gossip around the events of the year and the years after Michiko Oshima's death.
And in the process of chatting like this, not only did Ye Zhao learn about things that could not be shown in books and documentaries, but Minoru Kono and his wife also understood Ye Zhao's idea of adapting this "Gazing at Love and Death" through such exchanges.
"Kono-san and his wife also learned something about the movie from Takeda-san before...... "Finally, Ye Zhao brought the topic to the real purpose of this visit.
When Takeda-san contacted us, Uchiko and I had a lot of concerns, but after listening to Ye Zhaosan's general idea and having today's conversation, I suddenly became much more relieved. Minoru Kono said.
In this case, the readaptation of the movie, on the side of Minoru Kono and his wife, has become more than half.
Because he was just in the negotiation stage, Ye Zhao did not come up with a specific script, but just had a general idea. After all, the copyright issue has not been resolved, and the two parties and their families have not negotiated, so it is too risky to write the script first at this time.
However, since it is a movie based on real events, Ye Zhao still invited Minoru Kono and his wife to participate in the work of the screenwriter. Of course, it is not to meddle in the work of the screenwriter, but to properly listen to the opinions and ideas of these two parties on the basis of ensuring that their ideas are not disrupted.
Mr. and Mrs. Kono agreed to the adaptation of the film, but there was still Michiko Oshima who needed to negotiate. Although Michiko Oshima has passed away for more than 30 years, her family still lives in Osaka.
Regarding this, Minoru Kono took the initiative to say that he would help Ye Zhao contact Michiko Oshima's family.
In order to show sincerity, even in such a busy situation, Ye Zhao still took the time to go to Osaka with Jun Takeda, and Michiko Oshima visited her home before her death.
Michiko Oshima's mother is still alive, and when it comes to her deceased daughter, who is already an old man, she still can't hide her sadness. With Kono Minoru communicating in advance, there were no requirements here, and after chatting with Michiko Oshima's mother about Michiko Oshima, Ye Zhao also successfully obtained permission from Michiko Oshima's family.
After obtaining the consent of several parties and their families, the adaptation project can be regarded as really in the preparatory stage, and the next thing to be solved is to deal with the issue of adaptation copyright.
As for this matter, there is no need for Ye Zhao to interfere himself, let alone run errands himself, just need to hand it over to Takeda Jun to help deal with it. That's where the benefit of having someone to help you out. 2k reading web
