Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 213 Filming and July

Like Takaki and Akari in the movie.

If hearts are moving away from each other at a speed of five centimeters per second, then more than ten years will be a time when everything changes and we each become the most distant people in the world.

There is no greater distance on this planet than from the South Pole to the North Pole.

You old thief Su Yan, you still dare to say that your movie is not depressing?
You have been exposed from the setting!
nail!
clang!
In Tokyo area, Su Yan rented an ancient building as the filming location.

The sound of swords clashing could be heard.

Su Yan and the actors found by the crew who were the heirs of a certain kendo school in the Sakurajima area staged a wonderful fight in front of the camera.

The swords rolled out smoothly in the air, dodged, and then were pushed back by the reaction force.

Not only Su Yan didn't use wirework, but his opponent did too.

The effects of pure fighting and wire fighting are completely different.

This is the battle in the rain between Kenshin and Saito Hajime in Rurouni Kenshin.

In fact, although the crew had already visited many people in the Sakurajima area, they finally found Yasukawa Yuto, a nearly 40-year-old inheritor of a certain kendo school, to play the role of Saito Hajime.

But in the actual filming, he was still a little weak under Su Yan's knife.

During the filming, both sides fought with real swords, and Su Yan gave him various tricks during the filming process, and they used tricks against each other.

However, it is still very difficult to shoot these fighting scenes to achieve the perfect effect that Su Yan wants.

Su Yan can move better, more smoothly and more stunningly.

But he couldn't find an opponent who could match his martial arts skills.

"Ugh"

Su Yan came to the camera and looked at the scenes that had been filmed previously.

Although in his eyes, this scene was full of loopholes, and Yasukawa Yuto's speed was too slow, and the fighting performance could obviously be better.

But the director already looked surprised.

"Teacher Su Yan, Teacher Anchuan, you are really amazing! I believe that in the theater, the audience will definitely cheer when they see your fighting scenes!"

"No, no. The moves designed by martial arts instructor Su Yan are really amazing." Yasukawa Yuto knows who is the king in the fighting scenes in the movie Rurouni Kenshin.

Su Yan cooperated with him in various ways during the filming. Even when it came to extremely dangerous action scenes, Su Yan, who was the one taking the challenge, was able to handle it smoothly every time. Even when Yasukawa Yuto made mistakes, neither side was injured once.

He admired Su Yan's strength in kendo from the bottom of his heart.

Su Yan looked at the footage again. Although he was not satisfied, he still nodded and said.

"Thank you for your hard work. This shot was captured perfectly! It was worth the whole day's hard work."

This is not the limit of the battle scene in Su Yan's imagination, but it is the limit of the actor, and Su Yan cannot really be harsh on Yuto Yasukawa.

As soon as Su Yan said this, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief.

When shooting ordinary shots, the director has the final say.

But the action and fighting scenes were all decided by Su Yan.

After all, strictly speaking, the original work of Rurouni Kenshin is a fighting type of work.

Therefore, in the film version shot by Xia Guo, Su Yanken must highlight the fighting aspect.

"Teacher Su Yan, thank you for your hard work!"

At this time, Shen Liqian, the heroine of the movie Rurouni Kenshin, also handed water to Su Yan at the right time.

"I've already said it, given our relationship, just call me by my name. What's the point of calling me old teacher or not? I'm about the same age as you, I'm not used to calling you that! You make me sound old." Su Yan took the cup of water.

"Of course not. You have to address people by their job titles when you're working!" Shen Liqian chuckled.

"After get off work, I'll call you by your name."

This familiar sentence made Su Yan slightly dazed, and he also started to make fun of it.

"It seems like you really want to make progress."

"?" Shen Liqian didn't know what Su Yan meant by this strange sentence, but she immediately continued the conversation.

"Indeed."

"3.6 Centimeters per Second grossed 12 million in three days. Major organizations have predicted the film's final total box office to be between 14.5 billion and billion. When Centimeters per Second is taken off the screen, Love Like a Bouquet, in which I play the leading female role for the first time, will be released," Shen Liqian said with a slightly anxious tone.

"I definitely want to improve myself, and I don't want to embarrass you, Teacher Su Yan!"

The success of 5 Centimeters per Second has proven Su Yan's screenwriting ability.

But if Love Like a Bouquet of Flowers fails at the box office, no matter what the reason is, Shen Liqian will definitely be labeled as a box office poison.

"Relax." Su Yan certainly knew what she was worried about.

Although she knew that her worries were useless, she, who had always been very career-oriented, wanted to seek comfort from Su Yan, who in her heart was a genius in the film and television industry.

She thought she had experienced many ups and downs in the film and television industry, but now she also feels the nervousness before the broadcast of her first TV series.

"A love story like a bouquet of flowers will never be bad."

Shen Liqian's eyes lit up.

"I can't say which one is better than 5 Centimeters per Second." Su Yan said. "But it is definitely better than the movie Windmill!"

It’s not illegal to brag, and Su Yan is quite confident now.

The result of 5 seconds also proved Su Yan's box office appeal in the Xia country film market.

"Better than a windmill?" Shen Liqian narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard that.

"Yeah, that's right." Su Yan smiled and nodded.

"Oh, that means, Teacher Su Yan, you were determined to win the first or second place in the summer box office from the very beginning?" Shen Liqian said.

Su Yan nodded.

"Last year, The Garden of Words was the third-highest grossing movie during the summer. We can't stand still after a year. So, with two movies released, we can only aim for the first and second place."

Strictly speaking, Su Yan had no idea before 5 Centimeters per Second was released.

This movie received high praise in its previous life, but its box office performance was indeed average, because Makoto Shinkai at that time was considered a new animation director with no investment, no fame, and no appeal.

But in Xia Country, 5 seconds is already a good result, so it is difficult for others to refute it.

It would be good to exaggerate a little bit to calm Shen Liqian down and stop her from thinking too much.

After all, she is the female lead in Rurouni Kenshin, and it would be bad for the filming if she worries about next month all day long.

Shen Liqian took several deep breaths and suddenly gained confidence.

"Don't think too much. The most important thing for you now is to film Rurouni Kenshin well. Love Like a Bouquet will be released next month." Su Yan said.

"Also, although the character you play, Kaoru Kamiya, doesn't have many fighting scenes, there are still some fighting scenes. If the coach assigned to you for the fighting scenes doesn't teach you well, you can come to me. Although I'm quite busy at this time, I will definitely make time to deal with your matter."

"Thank you, Teacher Su Yan"

"I told you, no need to call teacher. Today's scenes have been filmed and everyone has gone off work," Su Yan said.

"Let's go. If you haven't eaten yet, come together. It's my treat."

Shen Liqian was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed.

"Su Yan, I want to eat seafood"

"You are not shy at all!"

The crew, publicity meetings, fan meetings, and then shooting short videos to promote 5 Centimeters per Second became the focus of Su Yan's work for the next few days.

At the same time, the box office performance of 5 Centimeters per Second is also very stable.

How could a movie with the highest rating and the highest box office in the same period be as lackluster as those haters expected?
Even on weekdays like Monday to Thursday, 5 Centimeters per Second has a single-day box office of over 30 million.

By the weekend of the second week of its release, the daily box office had reached over 50 or 60 million.

5 Centimeters per Second was released on July 16th, and there were no new threatening movies released until August 20th.

And August 20th is the day when Bouquet of Love is released.

While Su Yan was promoting Seconds Five in front of the media, he would also not neglect the movie about Love Like a Bouquet.

At this point, it has been less than two weeks since its release and the total box office has exceeded 700 million Xia Guo Yuan.

The attitudes of my peers in the film industry have changed.

First of all, 100 Centimeters per Second has been confirmed to be % the box office champion in July.

Because the movie Windmill was severely affected by 5.5 Centimeters per Second, its total box office till today is only million, and it is basically impossible to compete with Centimeters per Second for the box office championship.

If there is no movie released in August that can stop this movie, then this year's summer movie box office champion will be won by 5 Centimeters per Second.

But it was not until this period of time that everyone realized a serious problem.

Several heavyweight movies in August are basically released on August 20th.

Among them, Su Yan's bouquet-like love was not favored by everyone before.

Although the investment in Hualian is high enough.

But does a movie necessarily achieve good results if the investment is high enough?

The female lead was not played by a film industry-leading actress but instead invited Shen Liqian, who had never acted in a movie. In the eyes of those in the film industry, this was a problem.

There are countless examples in the film industry of big-budget films suffering heavy losses.

Does this young man Su Yan really think that it is as easy to get into the film industry as the TV drama industry?
But after the explosive result of 5.0 seconds, everyone's attitude changed drastically.

Is there a possibility.

Not only did Su Yan have the dark horse 5 Centimeters per Second to disrupt the situation in July.

Is August's bouquet-like love also a dark horse?
Is it possible that the box office champion of a movie released in July is Second 5?

The box office champion movie released in August is "Flower Love"?

Once this thought arises, it becomes hard to stop it.

The media thought it was crazy.

The producers behind the films that competed with Love Like a Bouquet at the same time are starting to feel pressure.
