Chapter 91: Director, you can't do this car chase

Mizumi Hayato thought about it, but in fact, the charm of Tatsukawa Toshio's character was not limited to his righteousness towards his two friends.

The most memorable thing about Tatsukawa Shisheng in "Hot Blood High School" is his struggle in the face of death, and when his friends are fighting, he also chooses to use battle to face his life. His most classic picture must be the scene where he said that he wanted to walk into the operating room and face it squarely.

Although it seems a bit too much to say "educational value" in this kind of film, if his acting skills can interpret the struggle in the face of death and the brave face, it may also be able to encourage many lost teenagers to face their lives bravely.

Mizumi Hayato inexplicably felt that he was getting taller.

Probably this is the deep meaning of PTA asking him to change roles.

Probably...

...

The movie version of "Hot Blooded High School" came out, even if the stage has been set in the previous time period of the comic version, but it is still mixed among fans of the comic version.

What is involved here is probably the spirit of the "crow" that the original comic of "Hot Blooded High School" wants to express.

"What about the crows! It's better than the poor birds in a cage. ”

The "crows" with such a spirit struggled and struggled on their own in school, swaying the blood of youth, and then after graduation, they went to different paths, and they also faced their lives with dignity.

As a comic that began to be serialized in 1990, the author of the "Hot Blood High School" manga seems to have a unique "romance" of the previous generation.

Naturally, Takashi Miike did not forget to express this romance when he was shooting.

So whether it is Genji Takiya's heart that wants to surpass his father's heart, Serizawa Tamao's heart for his friends and dreams of fighting for hegemony, or even Tatsukawa Toshio's heart facing death, it is an expression of this romance.

But at the same time, even if film art is supported by the original book, it will also undergo a certain degree of artistic adaptation.

In order to be more in line with his own style, and to make the tone of the whole movie more commercial, Takashi Miike has a certain degree of exaggeration in the setting of the movie version.

It's like the opening ceremony at the beginning, and the delinquent teenagers ignore the teacher and fight in the auditorium. However, in the comics, the bad boys basically choose to fight in the toilet.

This kind of artistic exaggeration, in the eyes of some fans of the original work, may be "transgression".

"It's like describing crows as scum." Something like that.

Of course, although Mizumi Hayato also made up the original manga in order to make this movie well, he is quite supportive of Takashi Miike's artistic exaggeration.

Even, he felt that it was not enough.

...

Today's filming is the scene where Tokio Tatsukawa and Serizawa Tamao make their first appearances, in front of a hospital.

According to the timeline of the plot, here Tatsukawa Shisheng learned of his condition, and he also knew that he had to face the choice between surgery with a 30% success rate and waiting for death; At the same time, Serizawa Tamao hid outside the door and heard all this.

Then after going out, Tatsukawa Shisheng's expression changed from solemn to relaxed, not wanting his good friend to worry.

But Serizawa Tamao looked at him in a complicated manner, and then tricked his motorcycle away, like a child angry.

...

The previous scenes were shot very smoothly, especially when Mizumi Hayato walked in the hospital corridor, his heavy steps and solemn face, but his handsome performance allowed him to shoot his first appearance twice.

Then the rivalry between the two was also quite smooth, and Takayuki Yamada's acting skills were very strong.

After that, it's Mizuyato's favorite scene.

Serizawa Tamao snatched the motorcycle, but he was not very good at driving, stumbled all the way, and even met a police officer who knew that he did not have a driver's license, and launched a "car chase".

To be honest, in the eyes of the water falcon, this "car chase scene" is basically at the level of child's play, one is too short, the second is too slow, and the third is not destructive enough.

So he went to talk to Takashi Miike for advice.

"Director, I think this car chase scene needs to be strengthened. Since you're all in pursuit of excitement, why not follow through to the end? ”

Takashi Miike raised his eyes and looked at him: "Although the atmosphere of the school is a bit exaggerated in the plot, they are high school students after all, and it is impossible for you to let Serizawa walk through the city and play stunts." ”

"No, you don't have to play stunts to show the excitement!" The water falcon was anxious: "Look, this long road pursuit, is it a little too far in space?" Even if the camera is shaken, at most it will stun the audience's eyes, and it should not be exciting or not. ”

As he spoke, Mizumi Hayato also picked up two pens and gestured: "It's better like this, it's not a truck to pass by at the end, but there is only a moment of footage, which is a complete waste." It's better to let Serizawa rush straight to the truck, and then the police are still worried about his safety while shouting for him to stop. Serizawa didn't know how to use a motorcycle, so he dodged the truck at the last moment, rushed past the fruit stall next to him, and scared passers-by; It was the same with a police car, which even crashed into the tent of a fruit stand! ”

Takashi Miike imagined that scene and was silent for a while: "This is not called a stunt? ”

"What a stunt! That's the best of the best! Mizumi Hayato said with a glare.

Mizumi Hayato watched this movie in his previous life, and in this life, he also read the storyboard of Takashi Miike, and suddenly hated that iron is not steel.

Obviously, in this scene, there are pursuits, trucks, fruit stands, passers-by, crashes, crashes and even overturns, but no matter how you look at it, there is no thrilling feeling, it really doesn't work.

Especially this scene is still the key plot when one of the protagonists appears, how to attract the audience's attention if it is not exciting and handsome enough.

He felt that as an assistant director, it was necessary to stand up and make the film more exciting.

Takashi Miike thought for a while and decided, "Okay, you can draw a storyboard for me first, and if the effect is good, I will use it." ”

As an experienced veteran director, he has his own artistic persistence, but he also wants to make the film better. Especially in this area, he is biased towards action design, and he is not an all-rounder, so he is not very good at it. If Mizuhato can, then leave it to him to design.

Besides, the words of the eldest lady are still in my ears.

"No problem!" Mizumi patted his left arm and gestured to give it to him, and then ran off to draw a storyboard.

The so-called art industry has a specialization, and Mizumi Hayato specializes in this kind of lens, and there are about a hundred ways to chase cars in his mind, and he only needs to design a sufficiently exciting and logical one that fits the plot and character design.

In my previous life, I was tired of acting this kind of plot, but when I wanted to design for people, I was still quite eager to try.
