There are still two aspects of work that he needs to do.

script.

And the other...

……

Another winter is coming.

Looking at the withered and yellow leaves slowly falling outside, Akira Kurosawa felt more and more emotional.

Of course, he still had a smile on his face.

As long as he's not filming, the studio tyrant loves to laugh.

But in his heart, he just...

"Teacher, Iwata-san said that he would come to see you."

"what?"

"Well, I don't know what purpose he has, but he also told me to come here."

"Haha... this guy is really interesting."

The key to Nakadai Tatsuya's arrival lies in the news he brought.

This made Akira Kurosawa feel much better.

But, what kind of tricks is Takeshi Iwata up to?

Soon, Takeshi Iwata came.

"Haha, why do you think of seeing me, an old man?"

"Iwata-san, hello."

Both Akira Kurosawa and Tatsuya Nakadai were very happy, while Takeshi Iwata was a little careless.

He came here as soon as he returned to Japan, and he told Mr. Nakadai on the phone earlier.

And then, this guy is even more straightforward.

"Kurosawa-sensei, Nakadai-sensei, please teach me how to shoot sword and halberd films and how to do kendo."

Both Akira Kurosawa and Tatsuya Nakadai were extremely surprised, but when Takeshi Iwata said what movie he was going to make, the two couldn't help laughing happily...

Chapter 393 Artistic conception, Zhongshan Shinobi, you have to lose weight

"Don't you have any scruples?"

"No."

"But I have to remind you that you are a Japanese, a Japanese supervisor, and what you are going to make is a Chinese movie. Moreover, you plan to release it in China. If you use too many Japanese movie elements, this Will it arouse some opposition voices?"

"Mr. Kurosawa, Arigado. I have considered this matter. If I want to make this movie, there will definitely be opposition. Moreover, I guess not only China, but also our Japanese side. have."

"Oh, so you must have thought everything through?"

"It's like this. First of all, I really want to learn about sword and halberd movies. I also know what the teacher said. I am afraid that there will be some problems between sword and halberd movies and kung fu movies. First of all, I want to say here. In fact, I just study. A sword and halberd film is not intended to be a sword and halberd film."

"Haha... you kid, you think so!"

"This... you don't mind, teacher, right?"

"Of course I don't mind, I'm just angry."

"Ha ha……"

"What are you laughing at! I'm already angry."

"Okay then, I won't study."

"then you……"

"I'll just watch the teacher's film."

"Well, I'll teach you right now. In fact, it's not too difficult."

It's very interesting, Kurosawa and Takeshi Iwata have just started, but the worry of the film masters is still justified.

If we talk about the "Dunhuang" filmed before, this film was indeed shot in Japan.

However, Tokuma Bookstore is a very pro-China company, and they have all been interviewed.

Takeshi Iwata is still a little bit behind in terms of level, although he is close enough.

And the main actors in "Dunhuang" are all Japanese, and only most of the extras are Chinese.

Of course, from an investment point of view, there is nothing wrong with making this film. After all, this film is equivalent to a Chinese film that has earned a fortune in foreign exchange, which is not small.

Takeshi Iwata has been completely determined this time, it is a Chinese-Japanese co-production, this Sino-Japanese co-production, he is not only in terms of the production team, actors, but also in terms of style.

There is also a "co-production" between China and Japan.

Well, his idea is actually very simple, that is, to take the essence.

I only want the essence that I can use, that is to say, even if there is essence, but he can't use it, he doesn't want to use it.

For swords and halberds... Takeshi Iwata wanted the best of them.

What essence?

In fact, this is closely related to his plan to learn kendo from Tatsuya Nakadai again.

Ordinarily, Nakadai Tatsuya's modern appearance is more handsome.

But he really has made many sword and halberd films.

Ever since, when the performance master was confused, Takeshi Iwata just proposed a movie.

"Great Bodhisattva Ridge"!

In this way, Nakadai Tatsuya laughed, he understood.

Why do you understand?

Could it be because Nakadai Tatsuya felt that Takeshi Iwata wanted to learn the 'killing array' in this movie?

At that time, in the killing scene, Nakadai Tatsuya passed through a dozen or so opponents alone with his sword.

With one move, two or three will be hacked.

Is it this one?

Really chic.

But Nakadai Tatsuya is very sure that Takeshi Iwata must want to learn something else.

There is also a scene in "Great Bodhisattva Ridge", which is the duel between Kilongosuke and Utsuki Bunnojo.

In fact, the most important scene of this movie is probably this place.

Because of this duel, Utsuki Fuminojo felt that there was no chance of winning, and even his wife felt the same way. For that, his wife Abin persuaded Kironosuke at night.

This persuasion...cough cough...that's it, lonely men and widows, persuading them to bed, oh no, it's on the tatami.

Anyway, the two of them had a good time, but they didn't want to, Ji Ryunosuke was ruthless, and still planned to kill Utsuki Fuminojo.

However, on the day of the duel, this scene was very surprising.

What happened?

That is to say, Kiryonosuke and Utsuki Fuminojo kept looking at each other, and neither of them would make a move.

Did that shot have an effect, or something else, in short, most of the time of this duel was like this.

Of course, Wen Zhicheng was killed in the end, but the process of the duel was like this.

It's about comparing each other.

So, is this more than momentum?

Obviously, this is a kind of 'artistic conception'.

Perhaps the two of them had already confronted each other repeatedly in their minds, so although they appeared to be motionless on the outside, they were actually tense and intense.

That's why, in the end, Kironosuke was able to kill with one hit.

In fact, this scene is very difficult to act.

How should this "artistic conception" be grasped?

"Teacher, I can probably understand Iwata-san's thoughts, he probably wants to learn..."

Nakadai Tatsuya is going to talk about his experience here, don't think about it.

"Come on, let's talk about how to make a good sword and halberd film first."

Good guy, the old man Akira Kurosawa doesn't talk about martial arts, so he just takes the lead.

Tatsuya Nakadai couldn't laugh or cry, and Takeshi Iwata could only smile wryly.

Akira Kurosawa was very active, he just started talking as if he didn't have enough time.

"Let me just talk more about my situation back then. By the way, Yoshimitsu Morita has some movies, which have a retro flavor from back then."

When it came to Morita's movies, Takeshi Iwata immediately interjected, "The proportion of characters is very high."

When Kurosawa heard this, he laughed loudly, "Yes, this is it!"

The high proportion of characters is actually easy to understand, that is, in a shot, the proportion of characters is a bit large.

In fact, there are many such shots in Akira Kurosawa's sword and halberd films.

That is, just take a big shot of a character.

For example, in "Yin Heart Stick", Toshiro Mifune's big head often appears, shaking in the camera.

And Yoshimitsu Morita sometimes uses this kind of camera movement, as if his shots are shot against the actor's head.

In fact, this is of course the use of zoom.

So, why do you want to do this?

"It's very simple." Akira Kurosawa has come up with some good stuff this time, "The most direct benefit is that you can complete the introduction of the characters.

Look, I gave him such a big close-up, so he is the protagonist. "

As soon as these words came out, Nakadai Tatsuya couldn't help laughing.

Not to mention Takeshi Iwata.

Needless to say, in the previous movies, the way of introducing characters was indeed rather limited.

You can't just say directly to the audience's ears that this is the protagonist of the film, right?

Moreover, at the time when Akira Kurosawa was shooting swords and halberds, his films all gave people a very grand feeling.

How about the atmosphere?

The opening subtitles are all Chinese characters written with a brush, and they are placed there in large sizes.

Really very imposing.

Yes, at that time it was basically all Chinese characters, and there were very few pseudonyms.

So, is it just such a benefit?

"In addition, you can make up some time."

Good guy!

It turns out that this guy also has his own watering skills.

"Anyway, everyone at that time liked to watch Mifune and Nakadai very much, right? It's okay to shoot more."

When the old man explained this, the other two laughed even more.

Needless to say, the 'cheats' of this sword and halberd film are at least quite interesting.

……

Takeshi Iwata has already learned it, which made him forget many things.

However, some people remember it.
