173 Swimming club and bad students
"Five Water Boys" is expected to be released in mid-to-early July, and the filming date is already in May. Fortunately, in addition to being co-directed by Junxiu Lin and Shiyasu Yaguchi, TBS, as the producer of the TV series,
The TV station also sent a director to serve as an assistant director, so the filming progress was greatly accelerated. "Five Boys in the Water" was originally a campus comedy, a very typical commercial film, so it only needed to follow Lin Junxiu's split-shot script
Just shoot down.
As for why he joined Yaguchi Shiyasu as a co-director, Lin Junxiu explained to the media that he was not very good at comedy movies, so he invited director Yaguchi Shiyasu, who is good at school comedies, to help. At this time, although Yaguchi Shiyasu had already served as
Although he is a director of small-budget movies, his main job is still as a director of TV series, so he is satisfied enough to know this movie. Moreover, Lin Junxiu has privately promised that if the movie does well at the box office, he can make a sequel.
If so, the sequel film will be directed solely by Yaguchi Shiyasu. Faced with such an attractive offer, Yaguchi Shiyasu naturally has no reason to refuse.
May in Tokyo is actually quite cool, especially since Hibara Village, the filming location, is in a mountainous area, so the temperature is naturally lower. Although as an actor, I have long been accustomed to wearing sweaters in summer and T-shirts in winter, but only wearing
The swimming trunks still froze a few enthusiastic young people to death. Fortunately, the producers who brought Lin Junxiu together were not short of money. There was hot water in the outdoor swimming pool, and there was a hot air blower in the swimming club activity room from outside the camera.
After the filming, the assistants will give the actors warm duvets and a cup of hot ginger tea.
Satoshi Tsumabuki and others are naturally very grateful for the producer's careful care. Although the status of Japanese actors is quite high, you also have to look at what kind of actor you are and how many years you have been in the industry. If you are Koushiro Matsumoto, Ebi Ichikawa
An actor like Zang, who comes from a traditional Japanese acting family and only occasionally works in the film industry, is naturally the best, and ordinary government officials will be polite when they see him; but if he has just debuted and mainly works in the television industry (especially TV
If you are a comedian), then the respect you get may not be as high as that of some popular idols.
Therefore, it is very rare for new-generation actors such as Tsumabuki Satoshi and Tamaki Hiroshi to be able to shoot a movie. Especially Tsumabuki Satoshi, when he was selected by Lin Junxiu as the protagonist of the movie, his agent said
I choked up when hearing the news.
"Lin Jun, the chromatic aberration created by placing different filters in front of the lens really makes the movie picture more poetic." Yaguchi Shiyasu couldn't help but admired as he looked at the newly developed shooting content.
Lin Junxiu's method of using filters to modify natural light has caused controversy in the Japanese film industry. The Japanese film industry is originally a place where the two camps of realism and romanticism are at loggerheads. Realist filmmakers believe that Lin Junxiu's approach is crooked.
, movies should originally show the real environment and real society, but Lin Junxiu was so bold that he even tampered with the natural environment. However, romantic filmmakers believe that Lin Junxiu allows the environment to serve the content of the movie and makes the environment become
The poetic approach is simply wonderful.
Lin Junxiu has always stayed away from the quarrels between the two groups of filmmakers. With his position as a celebrity, he would probably be pinched to pieces even before he could express his stance. Moreover, Lin Junxiu believes that there are not so many real film masters.
"ism", if you look at Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", would you say it is realism or romanticism? Then look at Ozu Yasujirō's "Higanbana", should you say it is romanticism or realism?
Categorizing and labeling works of art is simply tacky!
"I don't deserve Director Yaguchi's praise. These are just trivial matters." Lin Junxiu quickly became modest, "But I asked Director Yaguchi to co-direct this time because Director Yaguchi also saw that although my film is apparently a school comedy,
, it’s even a campus sex comedy that’s a little too big, but what I really want to show is a satire on current education. Although I have some insights into this part, after all, I’m still a student myself. Although I can empathize with it when I’m on campus,
But because I’m on campus, I don’t know the true face of Lushan. So I still need a lot of help from Director Yaguchi in this area, and at the same time, he can also help me withstand some criticism.”
"I can understand Jun Lin's thoughts and worries." Yaguchi Shiyasu certainly knew what Lin Junxiu was worried about.
No matter how complicated Lin Junxiu's identity is, his initial identity in the entertainment industry was that of Johnny's idol, and this identity has been recognized by many people. Once the topic of an underage Johnny's idol filming a sex comedy spreads,
The evaluation of Junxiu Lin will definitely have an impact. Therefore, this film adopts the method of co-directing, and naturally this part of the blame can be dumped on Yaguchi Shiyasu.
Japanese society is very tolerant of sex, not to mention that the movie "Five Flirting Boys" does not have any explicit scenes, and even some sexually suggestive jokes are not as good as some TV variety shows. So if this part says
It was Yaguchi Shiyasu who requested and directed it, so there is no problem. And for Yaguchi Shiyasu, since he can get the right to co-direct such an excellent director, it is okay to pay some price. Not to mention this kind of price
In fact, it was nothing, so he agreed.
Compared with Lin Junxiu, Yaguchi Shiyasu's directorial experience is obviously much richer. Coupled with the director's assistance from TBS TV station, the filming progress of "Five Water-Flying Boys" exceeded Lin Junxiu's estimate at the time. At the same time,
The content related to "Five Water-Flying Boys" is also gradually increasing in attention on Ameblo, 5ch and Cyworld.
"Mr. Fukuzawa, Imai-san, I really didn't expect that Mr. Yanai would actually arrange for you two to cooperate with me." Lin Junxiu was busy planning "Five Young Boys" while also planning a late-night drama.
Naturally, Yanai Mitsuru no longer had so much energy to follow Lin Junxiu to work on the TV series, so Yanai Mitsuru said that he would send his disciples to assist Lin Junxiu. But Lin Junxiu did not expect that Yanai Mitsuru would actually send Fukuzawa Katsuo and Imai Natsuki.
The god-level director and supervisor came over.
Although Katsuo Fukuzawa was a rugby player, his family came from a scholarly family, and he was truly the great-great-grandson of Fukuzawa Yukichi! His direct great-grandfather, Fukuzawa Sejiro, was the second son of Fukuzawa Yukichi, and he was also the director of "Current Affairs"
The president of Shinpo News Agency, Katsuo Fukuzawa, went to Keio Elementary School from a young age, and then went to Keio Elementary School from the junior high school to the university department, becoming a standard "Keio boy".
Not only did he study well, he also played rugby and became a regular member of the Japanese national team's U20 and U23 teams. If it weren't for the nationality issue, Lin Junxiu would have almost thought that this person was a senior from the asxs orphanage who traveled through time.
.When others got tired of playing football, after joining the TV station, the genetic talent in their blood was immediately ignited.
Although Katsuo Fukuzawa did not join TBS until 1993, he produced "QUIZ" in 2000, which is known as the innovative Japanese mystery drama. Later, he collaborated with Takuya Kimura in the TV series "Good Luck", which brought Japan to
The captain profession has become the most popular profession of the year. After watching this TV series, many teenagers decided to fly a plane when they grow up. Later, whenever the anniversary of the TBS Group or the anniversary of the opening of the TBS TV station was celebrated, the
The commemorative drama must be directed by him. And his most famous work recently is "Naoki Hansawa", which has simply made a big turn for the Japanese drama that was already in decline.
Although Imai Natsuki is not as outrageous as Fukuzawa Katsuo, she has been responsible for the supervision of TV series since 1998. Imai Natsuki is not good at as many TV series types as Fukuzawa Katsuo, but the shojo manga adaptations she directed are all good.
Ratings. For example, "The Shining Doctor", "Love in the Sky" (TV version) and "The Four Sisters of the Huahe Family", etc. Although the genres are all comic dramas, the themes involved include medical dramas and pure love dramas.
And family dramas, it can be regarded as a generalist. However, the "SPEC" series created by Imai Natsuki in 2010 was a bit subversive of her past settings. Although it was also a comic adaptation, it was a very hard-core science fiction mystery drama.
It's a pity that the ratings of this film are a bit poor for its production cost, which is a small regret.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lin. We have watched your movies and read your novels. I have to say that Mr. Lin's imagination is beyond our expectations." Katsuo Fukuzawa said calmly, "This
We had some considerations when Mr. Yanai arranged for us to come to assist Mr. Lin. The main reason was that we were worried that you did not know enough about some details of TV series production. I hope that our future cooperation will go smoothly, and please Mr. Lin not to blame us for our future work.
Some strict requirements. After all, if you want to create a good enough TV series, it will not work without a little pressure and standards. Of course, if Lin Jun doesn’t understand anything, you can come to my office to see me at any time. I will be responsible for Lin Jun’s TV series
As a producer, Imai-kun will be responsible for your performance."
There is no difference between the supervisors in the Japanese film and television industry and the producers in the film and television industry in other countries, so I won’t explain it too much. Japanese TV dramas are derived from traditional Japanese stage plays such as Kabuki plays, so the position setting will refer to Kabuki plays, etc.
The setting of "performer" in English is Theater Direct, which is an industry that runs through the entire production of TV series.
The work that performers need to manage is almost the same as that of producers, but the specific division of labor is that producers are responsible for directors, actors, and screenwriters; performers are responsible for lighting, art, props, costumes, etc. that are more artistic. But performers
They also have the power to supervise the overall content and style of the screenwriters. This is probably because Japanese TV drama producers are more like executive producers of European and American dramas, so performers feel a bit similar to producers in European and American TV circles.
To put it simply, producer Katsuo Fukuzawa and performer Natsuki Imai are two safety locks installed by TBS TV station for Junxiu Lin to prevent Junxiu from letting himself go too far when filming the TV series, causing losses in the production cost of the TV series.
Although it is a bit uncomfortable to have these two great gods supervising me behind, but with these two great gods sitting in charge, it will be difficult for those evil winds from TBS TV station to blow into my crew. To a certain extent, this is Yanai Mitsuru's love for himself.
A kind of protection.
"So, this is the first late-night drama that Lin Junxiu plans to produce for TBS TV station?" Imai Natsuki asked after reading Junxiu Lin's script. "From my perspective, I like this TV series very much. The scene.
Simple, which means that the production cost is not high. At the same time, this is a campus theme, so the existing resources of the TV station can be used as much as possible, and the budget can be further reduced. The highlight of the whole drama lies in the subversive nature of the characters and the reversal of the plot.
Comedy and romance are enough. Judging from the script alone, this is a qualified late-night drama. However, Mr. Lin, what we are pursuing is not just qualified."
"Of course I understand that this drama looks ridiculous, but it is actually a satirical comedy. When I was making the movie, I collected a lot of information about school bullying cases. I will use comedy in the drama.
Chapter completed!
