Chapter 483 Highlights

"What do you think, Dad? Let me just say that Izumi-chan is great." Junko came up to her father, as happy as a child.

Yagyu Kouta forced out a smile, thinking that this was not only awesome, but also extremely valuable.

Although he can master the Yagyu family's secret skill of taking without a sword, his proficiency is far inferior to that of his father. With such great physical exertion, it is difficult to take the weapon from Luo Quan's hand.

The flying knife just now was his last move. If he continued to fight, he would definitely lose more than he won.

"Director Luo, we have filmed the entire fight just now. To be honest, this is definitely the most exciting fight I have ever seen in my filming career!" The assistant director came over, followed by two people with glaring faces. Exciting action guidance.

"Well, let me do the editing and dubbing in the later stage." Luo Quan's mood was not too much. Maybe it was because he was feeling a little depressed mentally and physically after the strenuous exercise.

After sitting for ten minutes and feeling almost recovered, Luo Quan continued working.

Because the actors invited this time all have a very good foundation in kendo, Luo Quan only spoke a few words for the fight scenes, and everyone understood them, so the filming process went very smoothly.

The entire fight scene took ten days in total, including the second fight scene between Luo Quan and Yagyu Kouta.

In this section, the two of them did not perform freely, but followed the steps in the script, and all the tricks that appeared in the original work were also used.

In order to show the flying character of Feiten sword-style, Luo Quan flew back and forth with Wia hanging several times during this fight. Although it didn't seem to be very fast, after accelerating, it would show a very fast and fierce performance. Visual effect.

After the most difficult fight scenes were filmed one by one, the tasks of the entire crew became much easier. Luo Quan no longer had to do everything personally, and began to let the assistant director share the shooting of literary scenes for her.

After all, the fighting scenes are the essence of the movie and cannot be slacked off in the slightest.

As for the drama, just follow the lines anyway. The protagonists, except Junko, are all talented in scoring, and they all have their own understanding of the characters they play, so there will be no bad reading.

It's a big production, and Luo Quan, as an investor with a lot of money, will never let any crooked people enter his crew. From people to props, they all use the best batch in Japan.

The film is being shot in an orderly manner, and Luo Quan, whose workload has been reduced, also serves as the film's publicity staff. From time to time, he posts some stills and behind-the-scenes footage on Twitter to maintain the popularity of the film.

In order to save time, she was not going to spend more than half a month promoting the film after it was completed.

Directly promote while filming. After production and review, the film can be scheduled for release. This can make the most of the popularity she has gained during this period.

As the most watched star in Japan, almost every move she makes can be searched in Japan. This kind of terrifying traffic accumulation is extremely enviable by other stars but cannot be obtained at all.

No way, her series of operations in Japan the year before last year really attracted so many fans, and with the full cooperation of the government, her name appeared on all TV stations, radio stations, Internet and even newspapers, so that the national popularity almost expanded to the point that everyone knew about it. the point.

What other celebrities have worked hard for a lifetime to achieve, Luo Quan only took half a year.

Now that the accumulation is completed, it is all her harvest time.

"The poster of "Rurouni Kenshin" leaked!"

Luo Quan posted the movie's poster in a clickbait style.

The poster shows her wearing a red haori, with her hand in a drawing-sword position.

When shooting the poster, the knife in Luo Quan's hand was a real one borrowed from Yagyu Kouta, so the blade he pulled out was smooth and shiny, with the same cold light shining in Luo Quan's eyes.

The composition of the entire poster is also very simple, that is, the protagonist is drawing a sword, and the focus is mainly on the protagonist's appearance.

Unlike the female characters Luo Quan has played before, her makeup in this movie is obviously thicker, but the effect is not to make her face more gorgeous, but just to make her chiseled face slightly rounder.

After such a heroic still was released, it also attracted quite a few fans to watch and comment:

"I thought something had leaked out, so I was happy for nothing."

"The way he draws his sword is so handsome. His momentum is like that of a real swordsman."

"The cross scar on the left cheek is so stylish, and with this hairstyle, it looks like a lion."

"Am I the only one who noticed that the character's face in the photo is a little different from my own?"

"I didn't notice it even if I didn't tell you. It feels like a mixed race, and the white features are not so obvious!"

"Indeed, the nose is not that high and the curve of the jaw is rounded. Is this PS?"

"It doesn't feel like PS, it feels more like makeup. If you keep using PS when shooting a movie, it will be easy to make your face paralyzed. Luo Quan will not make such a mistake."

"In order to make the character he plays not so inconsistent, Luo Quan also took great pains."

"I can't wait to see this movie. Can anyone tell me how soon it will be released?"

"The movie has only started shooting for half a month. It can't be that fast. We have to wait at least another month."

"Not necessarily. Luo Quan's production speed has always been very fast. Didn't "Resident Evil" only take one month to complete?"

"That's true."

……………………

One thing to say, these fans really know Luo Quan quite well. Whether it is guesswork or analysis, the filming progress of "Rurouni Kenshin" is indeed much faster than most people imagined.

The main reason is that the script is ready-made without any changes at all, and the filming of the fighting scenes was so smooth. A group of practitioners completed many actions that would take ordinary group actors half a day to perform in just three strokes, five divisions, and two.

Everything goes smoothly, and it's hard to think fast or not.

But if you want to shoot it in one month like "Resident Evil", it's still not that fast.

A conservative estimate is that it will take another twenty days to complete. When it is released, it will probably be at the end of June, and it is expected to meet the audience together with "Titanic".

Generally speaking, large-scale productions and large-scale productions will avoid each other's schedules to avoid conflicts and confrontations.

However, "Rurouni Kenshin" and "Titanic" are completely different genres, and one is an English romance film and the other is a Japanese action film, so there is not much competition.

Therefore, Luo Quan is not worried that his movie will take away too much box office revenue from big ships.

There may even be mutual benefits between the two.

Imagine that when people enter the theater to watch the annual tear-jerking drama "Titanic", their entire emotions may fall into depression and sadness.

And when you need relief and release, "Rurouni Kenshin" is right next to you. Such a passionate and refreshing action movie will definitely become everyone's first choice.

The opposite is also true, so even if it is in the same schedule as a movie like "Titanic", Luo Quan is still confident.

Although the Japanese film market is not as huge as China's, it is definitely not small, and there has not been a hit movie in recent years. The most popular movie a while ago was the anime "Spirited Away", which has earned tens of billions of yen in total. box office.

Speaking of which, the theme song of this movie was sung by Luo Quan. After the movie was released, the theme song "Forever" was on the music hot list for a while, but because it was the movie's original soundtrack, it was not a specially released single. , so Luo Quan didn't get much money.

But there is no doubt that this will become a highlight in Luo Quan's classic Japanese songs, and with the existence of "Spirited Away", it will be mentioned constantly.

Just like the title of the song, these two will always be together.

As a musician who wrote such a song, Luo Quan would inevitably be asked to compose songs even if he was busy filming.

If the person asking for a song was an ordinary singer, Luo Quan wouldn't have to waste too much time and would just decline.

But this time, it was Japanese government officials who visited the studio directly.

"Luo Quan-san, I am Fujita, the vice president of the Japanese Olympic Committee. I have come here to trouble you with something." The short, bearded man wearing round glasses suddenly appeared on the set. This surprised Luo Quan, who was arranging the actors.

Seeing that the vice president's tone was so polite, Luo Quan also greeted him with a smile: "Vice president Fujita, why do you want to see me in person? Just send me an email."

Vice President Fujita said softly: "Actually, I sent an email three days ago, but there has been no reply until now."

"Ah?" Luo Quan looked a little embarrassed, "Is there such a thing?"

She quickly opened her mailbox. There were indeed a lot of unread emails in it, but they were all recent.

As for the previous ones, she basically selected them all and threw them into the trash.

In fact, Luo Quan's email address has been out of use for a long time since it was leaked. Emails from fans, advertising wall partners, and media are sent every day, at least one or two thousand emails per day. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for her to distinguish clearly which ones are. What she needs to see and what is spam that she doesn’t need to see.

Simply, she simply deleted them all without reading them.

Anyway, if you really need to find her, you can always get her phone number through other means.

And if he can call her, it means that he has a certain relationship with her acquaintance, and it doesn't hurt to keep calling her.

Another situation is to come to her directly in person, such as Vice President Fujita in front of her.

Of course, she would definitely not let Vice President Fujita know that she threw his email directly into the trash can. That would be too disrespectful.

"I'm really sorry. I've been busy with movies recently and haven't checked my email for a long time, so I didn't see it." Luo Quan quickly exited the Google Mail APP and then apologized to Vice President Fujita.

"It doesn't matter. We can talk about the matter more clearly when we meet." Vice President Fujita didn't care at all and still had a smile on his face: "My intention of coming this time is actually very simple. The main thing is to let you contribute to the Olympic Games." Some tunes.

Although your "Don't Give Up" has become the official support song for the Tokyo Olympics, one song is obviously not enough, and there is also a shortage of promotional songs. "

Although she is not the only singer in Japan who can write these songs, since she is willing to let her come, it is also a trust in her. Besides, writing a few songs does not take too much time. It is all work anyway:

"No problem, I'll prepare it later, and I'll send you the song when it's finished."

"Then the fee is..."

"It's free, but if there is any income after the song is released, it will be donated directly to disabled children in Japan." Luo Quan's approach is as kind as ever.

"I don't even know what to say. You really deserve to be a national idol." Vice President Fujita praised in a disgusting way.

After the matter was settled, Luo Quan asked the assistant director to watch the set, and she took out her computer and started making songs.

There are many themes that can be expressed in the Olympic Games.

For example, being higher, faster, and stronger, and working hard for victory, but these themes are enough to be carried by "Don't". This national-level cheer song is now used by Japanese elementary school students and junior high school students who can't sing it. As long as the prelude sounds, they will immediately sing it. It was the chorus of the whole audience, even more harmonious than the national anthem.

Even if I write more, I can't write a better support song than it.

But in addition, world peace is also a major theme of the Olympic Games.

On this big stage of competition, people from all over the world, with different skin colors and different races, gather together to present the highest level of sports performances to the world under fair and just rules (except South Korea).

This is a great manifestation of peace.

There are so many Japanese songs that can embody this theme.

Luo Quan thought a little and got the answer.

"Who was that just now?" Junko, who was opposite the supporting actor at the other end of the set, came over and asked Luo Quan.

Just now she saw an uncle talking to Izumi-chan and then leaving. Izumi-chan also handed over the director's affairs to the assistant director, so she was a little curious.

"It was Vice President Fujita of the Japanese Olympic Committee who asked me to write a song for the Olympics." Luo Quan typed out the title of the song after typing a few times on the computer.

Junko looked over and read out softly: ""Castle in the Sky"... Such an artistic title. Does it tell a story that takes place in the sky?"

"You can say so, but the core of the story is anti-war." Luo Quan emphasized the word anti-war.

Nowadays, there are many works of art in Japan that claim to be anti-war, but in fact they are anti-war defeat.

A word difference, but a world of difference.

Seeing these young art creators, Luo Quan prefers those artists of the older generation. They have experienced that era, so it is more difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

"In other words, this is a song that praises peace. It actually fits well with the theme of the Olympic Games. If the children are allowed to perform a chorus with a group of white peace doves behind them, the scene will definitely be very touching." Luo Quan was typing. lyrics, while thinking of the best way to sing the song.
