Chapter Ninety-Three: Eve
On September 23rd, the weather was fine.
Director Miike looked unhappy, he had already designed the battle of the strongest king of Lily of the Valley High School, and Genji Takiya's GPS faced the Serizawa army led by Serizawa Tamao, but because of the weather, he was temporarily on standby.
The number of people on both sides was about seventy to one hundred, and it was obvious that Takiya Genji's side was at a disadvantage.
But today's weather is surprisingly good, the sun is shining, and the sky is cloudless, which is completely different from what is written in the script.
About 200 extras at the scene were sitting on the playground chatting idly, while Kim Do-joon and Takayuki Yamada were sitting together talking and playing haha.
After 20 consecutive days of overloaded shooting, Kim Do-jun obviously felt that his body was about to be overwhelmed, and the general scenes were not counted, and there were still many martial arts scenes at the key.
After these days, my body has been covered with bruises, especially my arms are almost blue and purple, but fortunately, the coat I am wearing cannot be seen, otherwise it is not easy to hide.
Although there is a martial arts instructor to help design the fighting action, it is inevitable that he will be a little careless, and Kim Do-jun can't help it, so he won't get angry with other actors!
"Daojun, this drama is about to finish filming, and this time is the fastest time I've been filming for so many years."
Don't look at Takayuki Yamada's age, he was born in 83, and he has indeed participated in many performances, whether it is a big screen or a TV series, he has a wealth of performance experience, which still makes Kim Dojun admire it very much.
"Yes, I didn't expect that in less than a month, all my scenes would be filmed, and I was really reluctant."
Kim Do-joon is telling the truth, director Miike is known for his fast filmmaking, and like South Korea's director Kim Ki-duk, the efficiency of the films produced is enough to shock those who come after.
Although the shooting is fast, the quality is surprisingly high, especially Director Miike's recent frequent awards at international film festivals, which is also a recognition of him, it doesn't matter if the speed is fast, as long as you can shoot a good work, it is estimated that Director Miike's approach is also the expectation of all producers and investors.
Kim Do-jun has really gained a lot in this movie, not only the friendship of these actors, but also the key is to experience himself and improve his acting level, whether it is language, life, customs, way of speaking, acting skills, etc., these are all places where Kim Do-jun has benefited a lot, and now his language level can communicate freely.
Just like someone once said, if you are in a country where the native language is spoken, it is not realistic to speak English, there is no soil and environment for you to learn, only by changing an unfamiliar environment can you continue to spur you to move forward.
"Daojun, have you ever thought about coming to the Japanese entertainment industry to develop, I think your image and personality are quite suitable for the Japanese entertainment industry, whether you sing or act, I think you have a great future."
Takayuki Yamada looked at Kim Do-jun and finally said what he wanted to say, although he didn't have many good friends in the entertainment industry because of his personality, he was honored to meet Do-jun during the filming of this time.
At the beginning, because of the language, the two sides did not have too much contact, just nodded and said hello, but later he and his opponents played more and more, and the communication became more frequent, it can be clearly seen that the slightly young boy in front of him has grown rapidly, not only the acting skills have improved very high, the action scenes are much smoother, and the cooperation with himself is becoming more and more tacit, especially when the dialogue, it shows an unruly bad teenager.
"But I'm a member of the group in Korea, so I can't abandon them because of my own interests."
Kim Do-joon also likes this filming atmosphere, although Japanese TV dramas and movies are not too influential internationally, they have not been popular in Asian countries such as South Korea and China.
But they have always been representatives of high quality, and it can be seen from the fact that Japan has won the highest awards at major film festivals around the world, and their profound heritage requires Kim Do-joon to continue to excavate, from scratch, and finally turn him into his own bag.
There is no shortcut to acting, you can only be patient, and walk slowly step by step.
Only by accumulating to a certain point can a qualitative change be formed, just like a toddler, before walking slowly, you want to run directly, how is it possible, the faster you run, the more painful it hurts.
"Well, in this case, I really haven't seriously thought about it, it's really my mistake, I'm sorry."
Takayuki Yamada sat upright, bowed seriously and apologized, and he would not skip this matter directly because of Kim Do-joon's young age, on the contrary, he was very cautious.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaozhi, I'll come over often, and when the time comes, we'll definitely have to promote it together when it's officially released, right?"
Kim Do-joon said with a smile that young people are more emotional, and after filming this scene, Kim Do-joon will temporarily return to China, and will not come over for large-scale publicity until Director Takashi Miike officially announces the release date of the film.
"Well, yes, okay, you go and say hello to the director, now I have time, when this scene is finished and you leave, he will continue to shoot other scenes!"
Takayuki Yamada slapped Kim Do-joon's shoulder hard, because the two of them were side by side in a recliner, so they were very close to each other.
Kim Do-jun didn't dodge after finding out, he took a punch hard, and found that it didn't hurt as much as he imagined, so he said with a smile.
"Brother Xiaozhi, are you old, and your strength now is not as strong as the filming a few days ago."
Although Kim Do-joon said in a mocking tone, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Let's go."
Takayuki Yamada shouted loudly, the kid is cheap and good-natured, and he likes to beg for money on his lips.
Kim Do-joon walked up to the director with his shoulders on his shoulders and found that Director Miike was looking at the sky with a sad face, like a hungry monkey alone in a zoo, with wrinkles on his face piled together.
There is no choice but to comfort him.
"Director Miike, don't worry too much, it's still too early, wait a little longer!"
This scene can't be filmed on a sunny day, even if it is not possible to do special effects in the later stage.
The color difference is too great, and it will be felt when it is released, and it is best only in the morning when it is gray or in the afternoon when the sun is about to set.
Of course, according to the plot in the script, this scene is rainy weather, which is easy to achieve, and it will be good to have artificial rain when the time comes, and the staff is ready, which is the least thing to worry about
"I'm a little worried, when I looked at the weather forecast yesterday, I also said that it was cloudy tomorrow, why is it still like this, it's really annoying."
After saying that, he grabbed his hair, which was already cut short, and there were not many hairs at all, plus he scratched his face again, and Kim Do-joon found that Director Miike was really like a monkey, like a monkey washing his face in the morning.
Kim Do-joon let out a "poof" and laughed, but he didn't hold back.
"Daojun, what's wrong, why are you laughing out loud."
Director Miike doesn't have time to care about Kim Do-joon, what he is most worried about now is the weather, where can he still see Kim Do-joon smiling.
Kim Do-joon managed his expression, became more serious, and spoke.
"Director Miike, after the filming of this scene, I may have to go back to Korea first, thank you for taking care of me during this time, if it weren't for you, I don't believe I would have had the opportunity to star in this movie, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet you and so many actors and staff, thank you very much."
After speaking, he bowed respectfully 90 degrees, which was an expression of gratitude from the heart.
Director Miike stood up directly, supported Kim Do-joon's body, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Don't thank me, I see your efforts in my heart, you are a good actor, from you practicing your lines, learning martial arts movements with a martial arts instructor, to learning Japanese conversation with an aunt in the hotel, I know all this, Daojun come on, just like the crow of Lily of the Valley, spread your wings and fly high, the sky in the future will have a blue sky that belongs to you!"
Director Miike said earnestly, and Kim Do-joon found himself a little moved.
I didn't expect the director to observe so carefully, usually I chatted with the aunt who cleaned the hotel during the break, practiced speaking Japanese, and was ridiculed by Kenta Kiritani and said that he had an Osaka accent.
I didn't expect these to be discovered by Director Miike, and I guess I found someone to find out about it afterwards.
Kim Do-jun gently wiped the corners of his eyes, although there were no tears, but his heart was also full of emotion, so he hugged Director Miike solemnly, and they didn't part for a long time.
Director Miike said softly in Kim Do-joon's ear.
"Trust me, we still have a chance to work together!"
By the way, he patted Kim Do-joon's back.
Although the voice was very small, Kim Do-jun heard it very clearly, and before he could react, he heard the assistant director next to him shouting.
"Director, director, it's changed, it's changed, let's shoot it quickly!"
The assistant director jumped and shouted, and all the chatters stood up and looked at the sky together, and the originally sunny sky suddenly became cloudy.
Kim Do-joon whispered in his heart.
"The final showdown has finally arrived."
