The next day, Kazuma took Mikako to the set.
Mikako gloated in the car: "How many ribs do you think Nichinan will break?"
"No, Nanjo won't be so heavy-handed." Kazuma said, but he was not sure after speaking, so he added, "And Nichinan, there is a cushion here, at most a few yuan It's just a bruise."
Mikako slapped Kazuma: "This is for everyone!"
At this time, the car stopped, and the young brother who came to drive Kazuma instead of the old housekeeper said, "Mr. Kiryu, we are here."
Now the servants of Nanjo's family are all called "Mr. Hema".
He Ma nodded to the servant, opened the door and got out of the car before the car came to a complete stop, emphasizing agility.
After getting out of the car, he turned around to open the door for Mikako, only to see Mikako also rushing down like a monkey, and then her chest was shaking.
"Today is the soft style?" He Ma complained.
Mikako patted him: "I don't know who complained about the pain in the nose when it was touched by the steel ring yesterday."
He Ma: "Who complains?"
Mikako patted him again: "Are you being rude?"
"Why, can you beat me?"
"It's boring for you to talk like this, forget it, don't care, let's go."
Laughing with the horse, Mikako who admits to counseling is also very cute.
He followed Mikako, who was bouncing around, to the set.
At this time, the studio was shooting a literary drama. Director Da Neng Baoxiong stood on a chair behind the camera with a director's tube, and an old man in his sixties and seventies was sitting on the chair where he should have been sitting.
Kazuma immediately recalled the famous Japanese directors who had impressions in his previous life in his mind, and then found that there was no image of a director who was worthy of the title.
—The original ecological director of this time and space
— Or, in fact, there was such a person in the previous life, but I didn't remember it
He Ma decided to find someone to ask, just at this time the deputy director Aung San came up to him: "The filming was a little delayed today, Miss Fang Shan has a few shots that have not satisfied the supervisor Sang, you see, why don't you go by the side first?" take a break… "
Hema interrupted Aung San and asked, "Who is that old man sitting over there?"
"That's the mentor of the powerful director, Professor Wanyuan Somasuke, vice chairman of the Japan Film Association."
He Ma raised his eyebrows, he seems to be a theorist, it's normal that he hasn't heard of it.
"Is he very powerful?" He Ma asked.
"He is a leading figure in the film critic circle." Aung San said succinctly, "If you want to win the academy award, you must pass him."
And Ma understood.
"Then, what's your opinion on the action scenes I filmed?" He Ma asked again, although he didn't want to do this, but the filming was done, right? He still wanted to hear Da Neng's filming of himself. perspective of things.
People are vain, and being gasped by someone is so terrifying, you must feel secretly refreshed, right
Deputy director Aung San said with a smile: "The old man admired him very much, saying that he has a kind of spirituality that people with professional backgrounds do not have."
He Ma hastily humbled himself: "The old man is absurd."
However, his actual thinking is: say a little more to me, old man!
This is the experience a traveler should have!
Mikako patted Kazuma on the shoulder with an "I understand" expression.
At this time, the powerful director over there finally raised the director's tube: "Okay, pass! Everyone take a break, martial arts group, it's your turn."
He Ma looked at Deputy Director Aung San suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Martial arts group? I didn't have this thing when I came yesterday."
"It's like this. In order to make a quick handover, the producer Nagata asked late last night to divide the crew into literary and martial arts. When Da Neng supervised the filming of literary dramas, the martial arts team was preparing for today's martial arts."
He Ma: "Oh, that's it. Then let's start as soon as possible. I remember there are still a few martial arts scenes before it's over?"
"Yes. In fact, we also want to shoot more martial arts, after all, you are here, but... the money is running out."
As he spoke, Assistant Director Aung San showed an embarrassed smile.
He Ma also smiled, and was about to skip this point, but Mei Jiazi threw a handful of salt in the past: "Didn't you say that the money for this movie is enough? This is going to be spent?"
Kazuma hastily stabbed Mikako in the side.
But the words had already been spoken, and Deputy Director Aung San looked embarrassed: "We are indeed well-funded, but it also depends on who we are comparing with. It is definitely not comparable to Hollywood. And it is said that we are going to attack Chuanjiao, but we also have to talk about the risk cost... "
He Ma nodded: "I understand, Supervisor Aung San."
"In short, hurry up and finish filming the action scenes. Producer Nagata said that you will be paid for the martial arts instructor's salary as soon as the film is finished. Don't you still need to study for the exam?"
He Ma nodded: "That's right, let's start quickly."
**
Today's shooting was smoother than before.
Movies were shot very quickly in this era, unlike in later years, where the actual shots were shot in two months and the post-production took two years.
Hong Kong movies in this era used to write scripts in one day, shoot in seven days, and release in a month.
The key point is that the speed is fast, and the shots are not bad. In fact, many classics from the golden age of Hong Kong were shot in a week.
For example, "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The Demon Cult Leader" was filmed in seven days, and it is a classic.
Then "East and West" was said to be filmed for two weeks, but in fact, the actors had to shoot "Evil and West Poison" during the day, and they took time to shoot East and West at night, so the filming was completed in one week.
Now it seems that Japanese movies in this era are also fast.
Hema went all the way to shoot, and the two scenes of fighting were filmed in two hours. The speed was so fast that the props team had no time to set up the new venue, so there was a half-hour break in the middle. .
During the break, Fang Shan Zhishi came over and wanted to talk to him about the opera, and Ma stopped her back with a word: "It's all about martial arts, you just need to be in charge of the concave shape."
Fang Shan Zhiyo wanted to fight for it at the beginning: "I also want to act in more scenes! Simpler scenes!"
He Ma asked back, "Is the strain on your thigh healed?"
"Okay, totally fine!"
He Ma frowned, and then poked Xia Zhishi's thigh with his hand like lightning, and she immediately bent down in pain.
"Come on, let's go back and rest, and I will be in charge of the concave shape later."
Just like that, Kazuma drove Fangshan Tomoyo away, and turned to look at Mikako who was holding back her smile.
"You can laugh generously if you want to." He Ma said.
"No, you are too merciless, right? At least let him have a cup of tea."
"Don't, if you are photographed by paparazzi, it will become a scandal." He Ma said.
"Wow, you also know that you are finished if you are photographed? Then you did that super dangerous action just now?"
Hema pretended not to hear Mikako's words, and bowed his head to drink tea and eat cake.
Half an hour later, the filming resumed.
This time it is the scene of confrontation with BOSS.
Before the fight, there is a part of talking about it, this is the part where the non-return and the horse are in charge, and the horse is just beating.
He Ma originally thought that this time could also be passed smoothly, but things backfired.
"Stop!" He Ma yelled to stop, then fell into deep thought facing the two stuntmen.
The two actors have good skills, and they tried their best to follow He Ma's instructions, but they couldn't perform the effect He Ma wanted to achieve.
After thinking for a long time with Ma, he said, "Well, let's try not to disassemble so many lenses, but shoot them more continuously."
At this time, Fang Shanzhishi's stand-in said: "To be honest, it's very difficult now. If I want to take pictures continuously in one go, I don't think I can do it."
Scratching his head with the horse, at this moment, he suddenly had an idea.
He turned his head and waved to Mikako who was sitting bored on the edge of the field.
Mikako was still puzzled at first, pointing to herself: "Call me?"
He Ma nodded: "Yes, come here."
Then Mikako trotted over: "What are you doing?"
"Come on, come to Fangshan Zhishi's substitute."
"Eh?"
Before Mikako could react, Kazuma said again: "I'll be the villain's stand-in, and the two of us acted out the last part of the martial arts."
Mikako was overjoyed: "Really? I can beat Kazuma with you?"
At this moment with Ma, she almost wanted to hire another Gao Ming, but in order not to fail in the last paragraph, she decided to bear Mikako's hand.
He briefly explained his idea to Mikako, and then confirmed: "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Mikako replied quickly, "But, are you sure you don't want me to do a backflip? My backflip is amazing."
He Ma couldn't help but support his forehead: "No, it's not necessary, just do what I said. You go and change your clothes."
As soon as the conversation with Ma was finished, the costume team came over with the sailor suit of the same style as Tomoyo Fang Shan.
Two female dressmakers brought Mikako into the dressing room next to her, and after a while, Mikako with the same hairstyle as Tomoyo Fangshan came out of the dressing room.
"How about it?"
Kazuma stared at Mikako's face for a few seconds, then shook his head: "I'm not used to you wearing such mature makeup."
"Isn't it pretty?" Mikako frowned, "I think it's pretty good."
"Okay, anyway, the focus of the camera will not be on your face, let's finish the last paragraph as soon as possible."
Mikako nodded: "Okay, act quickly."
Obviously, she can't wait to flex her muscles in front of the cameras.
**
Wanyuan Zuomajie looked at the situation in the studio through the closed-circuit TV, pointed at Mikako and asked Daneng Baoxiong: "Who is this girl?"
"It's Kiryu's apprentice and childhood sweetheart."
Wanyuan Zuo Majie let out an "oh" and asked casually, "Is she one of the girls mentioned in the weekly magazine Fang Chun?"
Da Neng Bao Xiong nodded: "That's right. By the way, all the girls mentioned by Fang Chun in the weekly magazine yesterday came to our set. To be honest, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I am a little tired of seeing beautiful women, but seeing When it came to those three ladies, I couldn't help but envy Kiryu-kun."
Wan Yuan left Ma Jie snorted: "What is there to envy? He is happy now, but when these girls fight in the future, he and Ma will not be happy."
Da Neng Baoxiong glanced at his mentor, and murmured in his heart: Why do you feel that your mentor has a very personal experience
But he wisely decided not to talk too much.
At this time, Wanyuan Zuo Majie suddenly sat up straight, and watched the fight between Tongsheng and Ma and his childhood sweetheart on the closed-circuit TV seriously.
After a while, he was speechless: "It's no wonder Kiryu-kun hasn't shouted it all the time. It's true that fighting like this is much more exciting."
Da Neng Baoxiong didn't look at the closed-circuit TV screen just now. Hearing what his teacher said, he hurriedly looked at the screen, just in time to see the girl named Fujii Mikako flipping over the table in the middle of the field with a backflip, and then kicked the table upright to block Kiryu And the metal club that the horse cuts over.
"Oh!" Da Neng Baoxiong let out a voice of admiration, "This fighting can be done! Although it is a B-grade movie, no matter how hard I try in terms of literary and drama, it will be the same, but this fighting can be done!"
Wan Yuan Zuo Majie scolded: "Decent! Be decent!"
"Sorry, I lost my temper." The powerful bear bowed slightly to his mentor, and then turned his attention to the closed-circuit TV. "The level of this final battle is not as good as Hong Kong's Jack Chen and Jackson Hong, etc., but It's already the best fight in Japanese film history."
"You can't say this casually. Don't let the few professionals who make sword and halberd films hear it. They will use the entire page to spray you."
Facing Wanyuan Zuomajie's words, Da Neng Baoxiong laughed and said: "There is nothing to worry about what a group of guys who can never surpass the Seven Samurai and Zatoichi say."
Wan Yuan Zuo Ma Jie laughed out loud.
Indeed, sword and halberd films have already encountered a bottleneck, no matter how much you shoot, you can't pick out the stereotypes, you can only work hard on the authenticity of the sword fight, and the result is that now it has become a small circle of self-entertainment, coming and going It's all that audience.
Now there is basically no capital willing to invest in swords and halberds, unless Akira Kurosawa decides to make swords and halberds again.
However, Mr. Kurosawa finished "Kage Warrior", and now he is busy with his masterpiece "Ran", which is an ancient war film. For the Lord, there is nothing without a sword.
Times have changed.
When Master Akira Kurosawa finished filming "Ran", he and his leading actor Toshiro Mifune would have reached old age by then, who knows if they can support the production of new films.
Wanyuan Zuomasuke looked at Kiryu and Ma who were busy on the closed-circuit TV, and suddenly said: "I have a feeling, I don't know why, I think this guy can push Japanese movies to another path."
Da Neng Baoxiong glanced at the instructor: "Have you passed? He is indeed a very talented action director, and he should be able to make some good action movies through his hands, but he is leading Japanese movies..."
"Hey, that's what I said, just think of me as an old fool." Wanyuan Zuomajie sighed, "Besides, he's only going for the police route. He has seen the essence of our Japanese society and knows how to deal with it." Only in this way can we truly become a master.”
Da Neng Baoxiong was silent for a second, and then whispered: "You don't really think that he can become the police chief, right? As a commoner with no faction, the difficulty is too high.
"Even if you get close to the Nanjo Consortium, the Nanjo Consortium itself only emerged after the war, and its foundation is still shallow. It may take a generation or two to stabilize its power in the political arena."
Wanyuan Zuomajie: "If not, how can it be called a legend? By the way, last time, I asked you to go to Sensoji Temple to burn incense and pay tribute. Have you gone?"
"I've gone." Da Neng Baoxiong replied immediately, "It's strange to say, after I went, my insomnia was obviously much better. Could this be the psychological placebo effect?"
Wan Yuan Zuo Ma Jie smiled and said, "You don't care what effect it has, as long as it works. The tribute is prepared according to the list I gave you, right?"
"Yes, it took me a lot of work to get everything on the list."
"It is precisely because you have wasted a lot of effort that the 'placebo' effect is so good. After all, it is such a troublesome tribute to prepare. After sending it, you will feel in your heart that 'it should be useful'. Is that so? "
Da Neng Bao Xiong nodded again and again: "You are right."
"Oh, it seems that the filming over there is over." Wanyuan Zuomajie stood up, "Let's go, and thank Mr. Kiryu. Afterwards, I will tell Nagata that when they arrange the subtitles, Mr. Kiryu will be alone. Get a half screen."
The so-called half-screen means that when the titles and names of Kiryu and Ma came out, the front and back were left blank, which added up to half a screen.
This is a very high standard of treatment.
A higher standard than this is that everyone's name disappears at the top of the screen before scrolling out your title and name, and then the entire screen will only have these two lines.
Those who enjoy this kind of specification are all great talents like Akira Kurosawa, Osamu Tezuka, and Hayao Miyazaki.
The four characters Kiryu and Ma are naturally not eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment.
Wanyuan Zuo Majie strode out of the room and came to the set quickly.
People who saw him all automatically and consciously gave way, just like Moses Fenhai, gave way, and let Wanyuan Zuo Majie go directly to Kiryu and Ma surrounded by the crowd.
"Kiryu-kun! Thank you for your hard work!" He said loudly without waiting for Kiryu and Ma's attention to turn to him.
**
As soon as He Ma heard the voice, he turned around and saw the old man who had previously occupied Da Neng Bao Xiong's director's chair.
"Hello." He saluted unhurriedly, "The next step is to trouble your apprentice, Superintendent Xiong, to combine the miscellaneous materials I took into a watchable video, Mr. Wanyuan Zuo Majie. "
"Hahaha, this is his duty. Don't worry, I have reason to believe that this film will set off a wave of action movies in the Japanese film industry."
Say goodbye to Ma Xin, as long as you don't get beaten too badly by "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun", you can burn incense.
But he smiled on the surface, and echoed: "You are awesome, I just did a little work. It would be great if I could help Producer Nagata and the powerful supervisor a little bit."
Wanyuan Zuomajie laughed twice, and then changed the topic: "Are you free tonight? I would like to invite Mr. Kiryu to have a drink."
"It's not that I don't want to go," Hema said with a regretful expression, "but I'm not yet eighteen, and the law stipulates that I can't drink alcohol."
"Oh, look at me and forget about this. But I can't blame me. Just now, I saw Mr. Kiryu's command and dispatch on the closed-circuit TV. I thought you were a veteran who was used to working on the set."
I have to say that Jiang is still old and hot, and this old man has a magical skill of rainbow fart, which makes him feel as comfortable as Ma Na.
However, no matter how comfortable you are, you can't delay any longer. If you don't go home, Jinguji will go crazy.
"Although I really want to continue talking about movies with you," Hema said to Wanyuan Zuomajie, "but I still have to go home to study, and the exam is only a few months away."
"Okay! The exam is the real thing. By the way, Kiryu-kun, if you don't get into the University of Tokyo, don't be discouraged. I can introduce you to the best crew and continue to be an action director.
"At this time in March next year, the film should have been released. There must be many crews who would like an action director like you."
He Ma thought to himself, you old bastard, are you cursing me for not passing the exam
But on the surface, he still had a smile on his face: "Definitely! When the time comes, I will have to trouble Mr. Wan Yuan to recommend it."
"Okay! It's a deal! Then, Kiryu-kun, I don't have legs and feet, so I won't send it away."
Kazuma nodded, pulled Mikako and left the studio.
In this way, Kiryu and Ma ended their action guidance career for just a few days, and re-entered the exam-taking life.
**
The days that followed were relatively monotonous. In addition to reviewing and doing papers every day, I still reviewed and made papers.
He Ma finally had the real feeling that he was a candidate.
His life before, as a candidate, was a bit too colorful.
Think about it carefully, in this world, in the process of preparing for the exam, it is possible to dismantle a three-generation organization, snatch the marriage of the second son of a member of parliament, save my sister from foreign kidnappers, and solve a wave of hostage incidents. Kiryu and Ma may be the only candidates for Bomb Demon.
On the other hand, after such a turbulent life, I still have to prepare for the exam and cross the single-plank bridge like ordinary students, which is also very speechless.
Shouldn't they just give admission without a test
But the fact is that, no one came to tell He Ma that there is no need to take the exam at Dongda University, you can go directly.
In the process of preparing for the exam, the days pass by.
December 8th was the first sunny day after entering December, and the heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.
This morning, Kazuma was dragged up early by Chiyoko.
"Brother! Go shovel the snow! Our door can hardly be opened!"
"Okay, shovel snow and shovel snow."
Hema took the shovel from his sister and stretched.
"Where's Amao?"
"Already working outside." Chiyoko called Kazuma, and went straight back to the kitchen to make breakfast, the voice came from the kitchen.
"Oh, yes, it's great to have a diligent apprentice." He Ma said, picked up his coat and wrapped it around his body, and walked out of the room with a shovel on his shoulder.
He came to the porch and pushed the door, but it couldn't be pushed.
Looking outside through the small window on the door, He Ma found that the snow outside was at least forty centimeters thick, which opened the door to hell.
So he turned to the dojo and went to the courtyard from the dojo.
As soon as he opened the door leading to the courtyard from the dojo, he was almost retreated by the cold wind blowing in front of him.
Then He Ma saw that Amao had created an open space of about seven or eight square meters in the yard, with the shoveled snow piled beside it, like a pagoda.
He Ma laughed and said, "Why, are you going to build a pagoda forest in our yard or what?"
Amao stopped shoveling snow, looked at the snowdrift he made, and blinked: "It seems... interesting, can you try it?"
"Don't try, dig our house out of the snow first." He Ma said while patting the big apprentice's ass with the shovel.
"I'm working hard, Master! However, it's the first time I've seen such heavy snow in Tokyo in December. In previous years, this kind of snow usually only falls in January and February."
He Ma looked around and couldn't help saying: "The scenery of the northern country is frozen for thousands of miles..."
He and Ma stopped abruptly.
In this world, those who are buffed at the poetry recitation meeting cannot recite casually.
Amao also looked around: "The scenery is really nice, but it's hard to clean up."
"Yes." He Ma said while shoveling a shovel of snow and throwing it next to the snowdrift made by Amao, "pure physical labor."
If this was Hema in his previous life, he would have no choice but to wait for Eunuch Sun to get the gate out of his house.
But the current Hema is strong and strong.
He began to dig out the ground of his yard bit by bit, shovel by shovel.
Digging and digging, it may be that exercise makes the blood circulate, the brain is also active, and the horse began to hum subconsciously.
Because he was shoveling snow while fantasizing about manipulating it with magic, he hummed "LETITGO" from the Frozen episode.
After humming the chorus, He Ma simply threw away the shovel in his hand, followed the action of the ice princess in the movie, and began to "cast magic" with the music.
Of course, there is only the action of casting a spell, and the effect can only be imagined.
"Let it go! Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore... Idon't care What they're going to say!"
Suddenly, Kazuma's movements froze.
Because he saw Producer Nagata and Tomoyo Fangshan standing outside the low wall, staring at Kazuma inside in a daze.
Kazuma and Producer Nagata looked at each other awkwardly.
At this time, Fang Shan Zhishi clapped vigorously: "What was that just now! Listen to it!"
Nonsense, a famous Disney song.
But He Ma didn't dare to copy this song, because he was afraid that Disney's legal department would break through the barrier of time and space and come to this time and space to arrest him and go back for trial.
"Can you sing it again?" Fang Shan Zhishi asked.
He Ma Ju shook his head cowardly: "I can't, I just improvised, I've already forgotten."
At this time, Producer Nagata cleared his throat and looked at Kazuma seriously.
"Mr. Kiryu, I'm here to apologize to you."
