Kim Tae-hee was stunned, she didn't expect this, as a film that shows Japanese culture, it can't participate in the Japanese box office dividends, isn't it almost ironclad to lose money.

hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Lim Woo-myung's tall figure, Kim Tae-hee did not hesitate any longer, and said directly and surely, "It's okay, so be it, but I hope Mr. Nakazawa can help me fight for the best interests of overseas dividends." ”

Toshiaki Nakazawa bowed slightly, "Definitely." ”

He will do this without Kim Tae-hee explaining, being so "bullied" by Yamamoto, Nakazawa is not a good stubble, and there is always a price to pay, not to mention that overseas income is not considered to be in Shochiku's eyes, Japanese companies have always been like this, and they have an almost blind confidence in the local market.

Lim Woo-hun's lips twitched, wanting to persuade something, but Kim Tae-hee suddenly took his hand, clasped him tightly with his bare hands, and shook his head at him.

Yojiro Takida happened to see this scene, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then pinched his chin, remembered the script, and thought about it.

………………

Kim Tae-hee has been famous for many years and has always been the darling of the advertising industry, and in terms of the total income, it is definitely a large amount.

One-fifth of the investment in "The Undertaker" was not a big deal for her, and soon Kim Tae-hee called in his team of finances and lawyers to start dealing with this matter.

Toshiaki Nakazawa's negotiations are also going well, and he has a lot of energy. It is said that Yamamoto was severely scolded by the company's top management. And transferred out of Tokyo. Subsequently, he agreed with the opinion of sharing half of the overseas box office copyright income.

Kim Tae-hee gave Lin You-min two and a half percent of the income, and said that he lent him the principal, and it was not too late to repay it when he made a profit, and even before Lin You-min agreed, he had already filled in his name on the beneficiary.

Anyway, after the messy trivialities, "The Undertaker" was finally officially launched, Yojiro Takita told Lin Youming. "To star in this film, the most difficult thing is not nationality, not the script, not whether you can play the cello, but the culture and people's hearts."

"The Undertaker" is a kind of pursuit and desire for the beauty of death, and the Yamato nation's pursuit of beauty is not perfection, but a kind of mutilated beauty, a kind of almost cruel harshness.

As a Japanese film, it must reflect Japanese culture, and Lim You-chan is Korean. A Korean-American who grew up in the U.S. and matured in South Korea. Whether you have never been exposed to Japanese culture is whether you can understand it or interpret it.

Yojiro Takita told Lin Youming some details and techniques of filming this movie, which made people laugh at first, but as the plot deepened, the corners of his eyes were wet with tears, on the one hand, he designed all kinds of perverted plots to abuse the hearts of the actors, and on the other hand, he used an extremely pious way to make the audience believe that their hearts were strong and pure, and it was to tell you the meaning of life in such an extreme way.

"Yoho, do you know, before this, I searched all the Japanese actors I could find who were somewhat famous, and the result was no exception, refusal, refusal, or rejection!" Speaking of this, Yojiro Takita's voice suddenly became much louder, and even turned into a roar.

"And those guys, who say that I can't succeed at all, it was all luck before? Hehe, nonsense! "Yes, Yojiro Takida is a famous Japanese director, but in the circle, there are far more people who disdain him than respect him, just because he was born to shoot pink movies (A-----V).

Kim Tae-hee sat next to Lin You-myeong, slightly surprised, and then she realized that Takida had been filming adult films before, and she couldn't help but look a little weird.

"Forget it, continue to talk about the script, the holiness of the mortuary lies in the fact that he is focused, focusing on transforming every irreproducible, simulable, and irreplaceable individual in the world into the same peaceful nostalgia, and turning the reluctance of relatives into a direct farewell. Dying as if you were alive also means that living better is commemoration. Yojiro Takita closed his eyes and said with some emotion, and at the end, Fang Cai asked again, "Yoho, Tae-hee, can you understand?" ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, then nodded as if they didn't understand.

The movie officially started filming, and Toshiaki Nakazawa was busy with other things except for his appearance at the opening ceremony, and there was not much attention from the Japanese media, while the Korean media did not know about it.

Everyone had a discussion in the whole meeting, including all the actors, the crew, and the other technicians.

Needless to say, soundtrack producer Hisaishi Jean, even the camera director is also well-known in the circle.

It's just that Lin Youming was a little surprised, the camera director turned out to be a woman, and a Japanese woman who looked like she was in her early thirties and still had charm.

even hung the title of executive assistant director in the crew, and when Takida introduced her, he said that it was okay to call her Director Ryoko.

For an excellent film work, the lens is not only a record of the event, an elaboration of the theme, but also a description of the event, which seems to be the sense of movement between the internal relationships of things.

For example, the collision between "light" and "heavy", "spirit" and "flesh", or the sense of nature that is separated from the two societies, this sense of movement also exists in "The Undertaker", and constitutes the core "psychological description" of the film.

Director Takida's approach is to depict the complex state of mind of the protagonist through a combination of static close-ups of things and the dynamic behavior of the characters.

This is a difficult challenge for the camera, which requires not only rich experience, but also superb skills, and most importantly, finding the feeling of shooting, which is also a great test for Lin Youmeng's acting skills.

………………

"To bring to life the already cold person and to give her eternal beauty requires calmness, precision, and tenderness. At the time of separation, farewell to the deceased, quiet, all the actions are so beautiful," says the narrator in the script.

Most of the mortuaries clean up the last appearance of strangers in their lives, and use simple seriousness to integrate into the operation of their fingers to express their respect for death and protect the dignity of the deceased.

Lin Youming tried his best to integrate his mind into this role and this profession, and carefully comprehended and comprehended.

Director Takida's grasp and handling of the details is amazing, and the opening film describes the protagonist Kobayashi collecting a young girl, and when wiping her body, she had to cover it with a white cloth because she couldn't expose the skin of the deceased, and as a result, the mortuary touched the girl's lower body and turned out to be a man.

After a short period of consternation, Xiao Lin had to tell the master in a serious whisper, and then the master carefully asked the family members to take a step to speak, because the makeup of the remains is divided into men and women, and the opinions of the family members must be sought.

Later, the burial was completed according to the deceased's preferences, and the deceased's father was deeply moved by this attitude of death as life.

The ritual steps are filled with the skin of the deceased and the living, pressing the eye area, closing the lip flap, smoothing the jaw, wiping the body, changing the mourning clothes, and arranging the makeup.

When the movie was filmed, it was naturally impossible to really use corpses, and most of the dummies used were for medical purposes, and occasionally close-ups were needed, so let extras come and play them.

The first time he saw the corpse, that is, the body of the old man who had been dead for two weeks that no one found, Lin Youmian had to react quite "intensely", he wanted to vomit, he had the feeling that his whole body was dirty, so he had to wash himself in the bathhouse, and when he saw the slaughtered chicken at home, he began to vomit again, he felt that he was going to become an undertaker as a punishment for not attending his mother's funeral, and like any normal person, he rejected such a profession from the heart.

This section of Lin Youling was a little painful, and his face became a little hideous, but fortunately, it was not a big problem.

Subsequently, the first change in the protagonist's heart was to see the president bury the woman who died of illness, he saw that the president had a gentle emotion to make the already cold people regain their beauty, and this beauty was frozen forever, he felt a quiet charm, and for the first time, Lin Youmeng felt a solemn sense of this profession in his heart, and began to recognize this profession.

This film not only shows the professional art of the mortuary, but also runs through the strong family affection, which is also the type that Lin Youmeng is interested in.

………………

Because of the schedule, many of "The Undertaker" are interspersed with filming, and they do not directly follow the narrative line of the script.

Among them, there is such a main line that runs through the movie, Kobayashi Daigo's father abandoned home in his early years, which caused a lot of trauma to his soul, although he often misses his father when he plays the cello, but he has always been unwilling to forgive him, and his father wanders alone because he is ashamed of their mother and son.

Until the death of his father in the end, the father and son separated from each other for 30 years, when the protagonist collected his father, he warmed his father's clenched fists with his hands, and saw the stone given to his father when he was a child, and finally completed the final communication between father and son, and couldn't help but burst into tears. How can this kind of communication between life and death not be moving?

Lin Youmiang's filming this time has almost no sense of stagnation, every shooting is done in one go, and his understanding of the script makes screenwriter Xiaoshan Xuntang admire.

It is hard to imagine that such a young person would have such a deep impression of such a profession and Japanese culture.

Come to think of it, it is impossible for Lin Youming to have received this kind of cultivation before, so the only thing that can be explained, except for his talent, is that he has worked really hard and studied very hard. (To be continued......)
