Chapter 143: The Difference (Daily Subscription and Ticket !!)
The live-action version of "Death Note" that I watched in my previous life, the actor of Night God Moon, is Fujiwara Ryuya.
And when it comes to Fujiwara Ryuya, it is impossible not to mention a neon master-level figure - Yukio Ninagawa.
Yukio Ninagawa, a well-known Japanese theater director and film director, is one of the representatives of contemporary Japanese theater.
He likes to enable and train new actors very much, and Fujiwara Ryuya is the brightest star he has excavated.
Fujiwara Ryuya is also known as "a rare stage genius in Japan in 30 years".
In 1997, director Ninagawa auditioned for the starring role in "Body Poison Pill" in Japan, and fifteen-year-old Fujiwara Ryu also stood out from 5,537 candidates and became the second generation of Body Poison Pill.
At Fujiwara, Barbican Centre in London, he made his stage debut.
His outstanding concentration and passionate acting skills attracted attention, and he was praised by major London newspapers as "a talented newcomer who appeared on the stage at the age of 15 with an unexpected presence".
When he was performed in London, he was praised by British critics as "his performance on stage has the charm of Shakespeare".
When he first performed on stage, he was so admired by the arrogant Englishman who owned Shakespeare.
One can imagine how remarkable Fujiwara's acting talent is.
And now such a performance genius is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's most powerful enemy in getting the corner of "Night God Moon"!
His pressure is not ordinarily great, but, after these days of planning and preparing in advance, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has great confidence in suppressing Fujiwara in the audition.
The biggest reason, naturally, is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a person who has watched movies in his previous life.
has seen the movie, which means that he has also watched the Fujiwara version of "Night God Moon".
In Sakamoto Kiyoshi's view, Fujiwara is worthy of being a rare stage genius in 30 years, and the tension and rich expression of the performance, combined with the perfect body language, made him attracted by the "Night God Moon" played by Fujiwara.
However, such a powerful acting genius has an obvious shortcoming, that is, the word "stage".
That's right, Ryu Fujiwara is also a genius, a genius of acting, but, probably because the first time he performed, it was in a stage play, so his acting style was limited to drama from the beginning.
Drama is different from film, but at the same time, it is the same goal.
The meaning of drama and film is to present a story to the audience in the form of performance.
This is the biggest similarity between the two, the starting point and the ending.
And the difference between the two, as far as drama is concerned, is the stage.
For movies, the indispensable element is the lens.
The attributes of the stage are presence, symbolism, and communication, while the attributes of the lens are pushing, pulling, shaking, framing, lighting, and montage.
This creates a difference between the two, which even laymen know.
That is, the drama is more exaggerated, and the movie is more restrained.
Generally, the drama is live, and the voice of singing or lines is often loud, and the body language is also the most realistic performance in front of the audience.
Because the stage is very large, the audience cannot see the small places, so the performers must make the movements very exaggerated, and the sound should be as loud as possible.
And movies are different from dramas, more physical performances are more important than speaking lines, and there are some things that actors don't need to say at all, and they can be more empathetic to express them directly with the camera.
Sometimes, just a look in the eyes, or a small subtle movement, will convey to the audience, some feelings, some things that can only be understood but cannot be spoken.
And accustomed to drama, slightly exaggerated body language, and acting attitude, will only make Fujiwara somewhat disadvantageous when performing the role of "Night God Moon".
Because, the role of "Night God Moon" can be said to be such a high-IQ genius who introverts the madness and paranoia in his heart and will not express it easily.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has read all the "Death Note" manga, personally believes that the early Night God Moon is a rebel who is disappointed in the current judicial system, and the later Night God Moon is a dictator who goes mad.
"Night God Moon" is a human, not a god, he has the shortcomings of being a human being, but he has the ability to surpass humans, and he has powerful abilities, but he can't use them correctly, so he will naturally go crazy.
However, in the original version, Fujiwara Ryu only expressed the madness and high IQ of "Night God Moon" more through the performance of the stage play, but the change in the heart of "Night God Moon" from yearning for justice to trying to become a god of the new world was not well expressed.
After all, "Night God Moon" was already two different people when he picked up the Death Note and when he had already defeated L.
Maybe it's because it's hard to express the change of "Night God Moon", so I chose to adapt the plot in the comics a little.
After all, the adapted plot is more refined, which also makes the whole movie look more compact and fascinating.
However, this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto just wanted to show one, different from Fujiwara Ryuya's version of "Night God Moon".
A restrained "Night God Moon"!
。。。。。。
1 September 2005.
The headquarters of Warner Corporation of Japan, Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
In a small interview room in the company building, four middle-aged men sat at a long table.
One of them is one of the screenwriters of "Death Note" who was introduced to Kiyoshi Sakamoto through Qin Jingri, Tetsuya Oishi.
There is also a middle-aged man with a very thin body and a hat, who looks a little like Hiroyuki Sanada...
This skinny man, if you are a fan of manga, will definitely know it.
Judging from the tone of Tetsuya Oishi when he spoke to him, there is still a "teacher", and you can know that this is the original author of "Death Note", Ken Ohata.
As a manga artist, if you weren't as thin as Ken Ohata, you would be obese like Eiichiro Oda or Kishimoto Saishi.
After all, the profession of cartoonist, if it is not at the top, it can't make too much money, and after a long period of sedentary life, plus no exercise, the body is not very good.
When you see these two people, you can know that this is the audition scene for "Death Note".
The other one, wearing glasses and a little thinning hair, looks like an uncle who can't wake up, that is the director of "Death Note", Shusuke Kaneko.
Shusuke Kaneko and Tetsuya Oishi are chatting about a person Kiyoshi Sakamoto is very familiar with, that is, himself.
"Kaneko-san, I think that Sakamoto's various conditions are better than Fujiwara, whether it is appearance or figure, he is also the hottest king in the entertainment industry now, if he becomes the leading actor, it will also be able to make our drama occupy the upper hand in popularity and topicality. ”
After Tetsuya Oishi met with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, he went to see Kiyoshi Sakamoto's only film and television work, "Dragon Sakura".
He found that Sakamoto Qingzhen deserves to be the most popular singer now, in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, he is top-notch, and as a rookie actor acting for the first time, his performance in "Dragon Sakura" is almost impeccable, especially in the later episodes, when it is obvious that there are many scenes, the performance is still easy.
This made Tetsuya Oishi relieved of his acting skills.
After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is his friend, Qin Jianri introduced him, it is better to use raw than familiar, compared to Fujiwara Ryuya, who has never met, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a polite boy, is more in line with his appetite.
That's why he recommended Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a boy who was only fifteen years old, in front of Shusuke Kaneko.
"Well, I know that you are talking about Sakamoto Kiyoshi, in terms of appearance and figure, as well as the degree of Tokyo University, it is also a big plus, however, what I am more worried about is whether his acting skills can meet the requirements, after all, compared to Fujiwara, his acting qualifications really don't have too many bright spots. ”
Shusuke Kaneko frowned while looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's information, and said to Tetsuya Oishi, who was sitting next to him.
"Well, I understand your concern, but ... Tetsuya Oishi still wanted to persuade him, but at this time, Ken Kohata, who was sitting next to him, spoke up.
"I think, let them come in and show for a while, and then make a decision slowly, after all, it's not like it's time to decide who will play the role, you say?
As he said this, Ken Kobata also threw out a question and gave it to the middle-aged man who was sitting quietly on the side of the four.
Ken Obata's words also made Tetsuya Oishi and Shusuke Kaneko turn their attention to the producer who was sitting on the side, Furuba.
"Oh, you decide, I'm just representing Warner, come and have a look, you don't have to worry about me. And the producer of the ancient field, who was noticed by the three of them, also hurriedly waved his hand and said.
Hearing the producer's words, Shusuke Kaneko and Tetsuya Oishi were also relieved in their hearts.
After all, as a producer, Warner's voice is not small, as long as the producer of this ancient field wants to, his opinion is also very important in casting.
Fortunately, this producer is not one of those people who are brainless and think that the producer is very good, otherwise the director Shusuke Kaneko would still be more uncomfortable.
After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Shusuke Kaneko concluded, "Then let's start the audition." ”
。。。。。。
The camera turned to a room next to the interview room, where the actors who came to audition today were located, the waiting room.
At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had just walked into this waiting room from the outside.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Sakamoto Kiyoshi found out that he was being targeted by everyone...
The actors who were waiting for the audition to start in the waiting room, at this time, they were all looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a surprised look on his face and pushing the door in.
"White (bad)!"
