The adaptation of "Rogue Kenshin Reminiscence" is a rather difficult thing.

Especially for Mizumi Hayato, he has three excellent versions of the comic version, the ova version, and the movie version of his previous life in his mind, but these three versions have their own strengths and trade-offs, both in terms of narrative and main expressions of content and emotion, and he is unwilling to take the easiest road - copy the movie version of his previous life, so it is not so simple to make a water Hayato version of "Remembrance" that is as satisfying and satisfying as himself.

Because of the special carrier, the original comic version can change the traditional narrative method, and use a large number of memory insertions, flashbacks and other techniques to highlight and emphasize the changes in Kenshin's inner world, so that the audience can completely bring it into the perspective of the protagonist.

But a movie, especially a commercial film, can't do that easily.

Mizumi Hayato's experience in his previous life made him understand that if he made a movie like those big directors with some bells and whistles, he might not tell his story well in the end, and it became a garbage movie with only commendable pictures, and the commercial effect can only be said to be the brand effect of the big director, but the reputation has fallen to the bottom.

"Don't think too much of your audience's IQ."

Or rather:

"Don't think that every audience member is going to be in the cinema thinking about what your shot is about."

This is a little personal insight of Mizumi Hayato.

Not every audience is a professional film critic, a good movie only needs to tell the story well, and if you want the movie to be a big hit, then add additional rhythms, pictures, actions, special effects and other things that make the audience feel good.

Many commercial blockbusters in Hollywood basically do this, and even many plots are not the same at all when carefully considered, but he can sell for money, and the audience just buys it.

Of course, this is not to say that the movie does not need depth and does not need to be interpreted by the audience, but this does not need to be explained by the main plot, dark lines, hints, foreshadowing, montages and other means can be used to make it possible to think about something beyond the story.

Of the three movies made by Mizumi Hayato, the first part of "Rogue Kenshin" is just an attempt and has not changed much, while "Horror Live" and "Hakodate Xing" have no depth at all, just pure popcorn movies.

Even in the last two parts of "Rogue Kenshin", Mizumi Hayato doesn't plan to add too many personal personal goods.

"Remembrance" is different, because OVA Zhuyu is in front, this version undergoes a series of magical changes, blurring the grand background of Kenshin's battle and other people's stories, focusing on the experience between Kenshin and Ba, and describing a poignant story in an ambiguous and obscure way.

But because of the good magic change, the BGM of the picture is top-notch, so that OVA was once praised as a masterpiece, and the artistic value of "Remembrance" has also been infinitely raised.

Of course, the premise of this is that the content of "Remembrance" itself is indeed worthy of art.

Don't look at Mizuhato likes refreshing action scenes and grand explosion scenes, just like directors will be obsessed with expressing themselves and art after becoming famous, he also has a lost artistic dream, after all, his other half is also a "literary youth" who graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts.

As a result, the great director of the water, who is about to make a movie for two and a half years, plans to make a dream-chasing attempt in "Remembrance".

He wants to combine OVA with the movie version, which is embodied in poignant pictures, tactful BGM, and touching love, while the movie version has a grand narrative background, a combination of times and individuals.

History, swords, love... He wanted them all.

....

But then again, no matter what version it is, whether he is artistic or not, the only thing that remains unchanged is that the "ex-husband's brother" is dead again!

"Congratulations to my ex-husband for being hacked to death again!" Mizumi Hayato had just finished confirming the footage, and picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "I announce, Oguri Shun is finished!" ”

Oguri stood there, his body was full of fake blood, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Is it really finished?" Won't the next one be me coming again? ”

"No, no, we're shooting three films together, can't we upgrade the machine again in just one year?" Mizumi Hayato replied with a smile.

"That's good." Oguri patted his clothes and said, "If you let me come, I'll be paid." ”

"That's not going to work!" Mizumi Hayato reacted quickly: "It's okay, this paragraph is enough, hard work." ”

"Thank you, you've worked so hard." Oguri Shun happily took the finished bouquet, but he didn't expect that it was just a cameo clip and a flower harvest.

But before he could be happy, he heard Mizuko say, "If there is this paragraph, it will be almost the same if you play each of the following parts again." ”

"Play every single one?!" Oguri Shun was shocked.

"Ah, not necessarily." The water falcon waved his hand.

"Oooh." Oguri Shun was relieved.

"The "Remembrance Chapter" should be put on at least three sides." Mizumi Hayato said again.

Xiao Li Shun was silent for a moment, then turned around and left: "I'd better go and ask the agent to talk to you about the salary." ”

...

After flirting with her ex-husband's brother, she filmed a night scene for a few more days, and finally moved to the first scene with Maki Horikita.

Mizumi Hayato's re-adaptation of "Remembrance" is divided into four stages: spring, summer, autumn and winter, spring is the first encounter between Kenshin and Ba, and summer is Kenshin and Ba living in seclusion as husband and wife.

The shooting sequence is naturally based on the live-action shooting season and backwards, which actually has a benefit for the performances of Mizumi Hayato and Maki Horikita, that is, their proficiency can deepen with the emotions of the characters in the story, and when the most poignant scene in the snow is filmed at the end, the emotions of the two actors can also be stronger.

It's summer, the woods are lush and sunny, and Maki Horikita is wearing a white kimono, not the same classic "Ba suit" as when she auditioned, and there is no purple shawl, but she stands there, with a cold feeling, just like that beautiful white plum blossom jumping out of the anime, leaving the world independent.

"It's beautiful." The water hayato who praised people was secretly amazed.

He also knows that Maki Horikita can take on the role to this extent before filming has even started in the first scene, thanks to her getting up early these days, even without her scene, putting on a full set of makeup, and spending the day as Ba.

"I didn't expect you to be an experiential person! I thought Baba was coming. Mizumi Hayato came up to her and smiled.

"No, I just felt it a little. It's still a lot off, and it may take a few more shots. Horikita Maki shook his head slightly and said bluntly.
