After receiving an affirmative reply, Yukihiko Tsutsumi pondered for a while, and still reminded: "Although I am also deeply moved by the matter of Mr. Kono and Miss Oshima, if you want to remake the story of these two, what does Ye Jun plan to do with the subsequent parts?"

"yes...... That's exactly what I'm thinking about. Ye Zhao agreed.

Unlike the fictional boy who accompanied Ikeuya and constantly encouraged him, Minoru Kono, who accompanied Michiko Oshima and spent the last days of her life with her, is a real character.

Although Michiko Oshima has passed away, Minoru Kono is still alive after all, and not only that, he still has his own life.

After the death of Michiko Oshima, Minoru Kono did not become a template for a perfect love story for the sake of the deceased lover, like the once popular grandfather Hideo Akimoto.

After he published the letters he exchanged with Michiko Oshima, it became a huge topic of conversation throughout society, and readers who were deeply moved sent letters to Minoru Kono, and then, by some chance, he met and fell in love with a female reader named Junko, and the two eventually became husband and wife.

However, after their marriage was made public, it was criticized by the public and the media.

Minoru Kono was accused of being a "traitor", and everyone thought that he betrayed his love with Michiko Oshima, and even Junko, who was his wife, was attacked by many people and was seen as a "saboteur".

Michiko Oshima died in 1963, and the film adaptation "Staring at Love and Death" starring Sayuri Yoshinaga was released the following year, so until the two announced their marriage, it was still a "perfect love story".

However, if Ye Zhao wants to re-shoot this "Gazing at Love and Death", he must face such an unavoidable fact, this is not a story that ends abruptly after the end, but another person's life that has not been interrupted and will continue forever.

Therefore, no matter how touching the relationship between Minoru Kono and Michiko Oshima is, the fact that Minoru Kono married someone else shortly after her death is an unchangeable fact, even if there is nothing wrong with this in itself.

The story of Minoru Kono and Michiko Oshima is far away for today's younger generation.

If you make a movie that is touching and makes you cry, and then when the audience is moved, add a plot of Minoru Kono and Junko marrying at the end...... In this case, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of forcibly feeding that.

Even if this plot is not added, as a film adapted from real events, it is necessary to explain this point outside the movie, and even if it is not explained, interested parties can find relevant information after a little investigation.

Therefore, the filming of this movie is likely to be a bit thankless.

"This was a problem that Director Takeshi Saito didn't have to face at the time of Miss Yoshinaga. Yukihiko Tsutsumi said. Takeshi Saito is the director of the girls' department "Gazing at Love and Death" starring Sayuri Yoshinaga.

"yes...... So, I thought I might as well try to change my perspective and start with the world where Mr. Kono and Ms. Junko's marriage was announced. Ye Zhao pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"From where the marriage between the two was announced?" said Yukihiko Tsutsumi, with an interested expression.

Ye Zhao let out a "hmm" and explained, "The reason why I thought of this was that I was deeply touched by the words that Miss Junko said in an interview, 'Actually, we are not as strong as everyone thinks'. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Zhao's tone paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "The passing of Miss Oshima has become a fact, but Mr. Kono, who was left behind as a living person, how did he choose his life, and what kind of mood did he have to make this decision, and what kind of feelings did he have for the deceased Miss Oshima, and what kind of feelings did he have for Miss Junko, who was by his side...... In addition to filming the relationship between these two people, I also want to consider this aspect in this remake. ”

After all, the general public is only moved by love stories, but Minoru Kono still has a long life to go. To ask him to defend himself for Michiko Oshima is really unreasonable.

In fact, in the documentary "Staring at Love and Death" produced by TV Asahi, the part of Minoru Kono and Junko's marriage is also fully presented.

Therefore, if you really want to make this film, you are not going shirtless, and to a certain extent, this detailed documentary can also provide some references.

Of course, if you want to make it according to his current idea, there are many things that need to be rearranged and integrated.

"However, if you want to shoot from this angle, there are two problems that need to be solved. Yukihiko Tsutsumi held up a finger, "First, of course, it is necessary to solve the copyright issue. ”

"I've already prepared this in my heart," Ye Zhao nodded, wanting to adapt, of course, he had to ask for the consent of the copyright owner.

"As for the second point," Yukihiko Tsutsumi paused and raised two fingers, "I think Ye Jun has probably already taken it into account, that is, it needs to get the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Kono, as well as Miss Oshima's family. ”

Indeed, this is also a must. Ye Zhao echoed and added: "There is a third point, that is, what Mr. Kono himself really thinks in his heart. ”

In order to make this film, it was necessary to interview Minoru Kono and get assistance from him. His thoughts when he made this decision, his feelings for the deceased Michiko Oshima, and so on, all need his own words.

If these three things can't be solved perfectly, then there is no way to talk about filming this "Gazing at Love and Death".

Especially with Minoru Kono and Junko, thirty years have passed, and the two have lived peacefully for thirty years, and the death of Michiko Oshima and the attacks she suffered when she announced her marriage can be regarded as a wound in the hearts of both of them, especially Minoru Kono.

Whether these wounds have healed, or whether pus and blood will leak if they touch it, these things are known only to them. Therefore, it is still unknown whether these two people are willing to let everything from thirty years ago be brought up again.

"Definitely. Yukihiko Tsutsumi nodded, "Only when we know what Mr. Kono really thinks in his heart will it be necessary to continue this project." So, before everything starts, the first thing to do is to get in touch with Mr. Kono himself. ”
