Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

After crying, Kyoko Koizumi still compromised with reality. She didn't want to lose Cao Zhiqiang, nor Nakamori Akina, nor her pure and lovely character, so she chose to keep things as usual.

That is to say, Koizumi Kyoko will continue to conceal his relationship with Cao Zhiqiang, and he also asks Cao Zhiqiang not to tell about the two of them. On the surface, we are still ordinary friends, but in private, we still date when we should, and we can do whatever we want. Just be more careful.

Cao Zhiqiang was not happy about this at first, because he thought it was too much trouble after all.

To be honest, Cao Zhiqiang really wanted to tell Akina Nakamori the truth, because it would be easier for him.

But he couldn't bear Koizumi Kyoko's begging, so Cao Zhiqiang softened his heart and agreed to continue to hide Nakamori Akina.

Under such circumstances, Kyoko Koizumi couldn't stay any longer, so she tidied up a bit and left in a hurry, causing Akina Nakamori to find Kyoko Koizumi after waking up, and complaining all kinds of things to herself, thinking that she couldn't entertain her well. week.

No matter what, the relationship between the three of them is like this for the time being. At least if Kyoko Koizumi intends to keep concealing it, the relationship between her and Cao Zhiqiang will not be exposed in the short term.

In the early morning of the next day, the crew of "101 Proposals" gathered again, and the filming of the show officially started.

When shooting Japanese dramas at this time, there is not so much particularity. If you have to be particular about it, you have to choose auspicious days and the like.

Basically, when shooting Japanese TV dramas at this time, after the actors are selected, the shooting starts the next day, which is all about efficiency.

Because most of the actors here are paid on a daily basis for filming TV dramas, one day of filming is paid for one day, so the faster the filming, the lower the cost of personnel.

Of course, the efficiency and speed of filming Japanese dramas is far behind that of Xiangjiang TV dramas.

Speaking of volume, the real volume at this time is precisely Xiangjiang.

At this time in the Xiangjiang showbiz, filming usually takes more than ten hours or even twenty hours a day, from morning to night, which is extremely hard.

In this high-intensity filming situation, many movies are shot in a day or two. Even if you are shooting a TV series, you can shoot two or three episodes a day at a fast time, which is definitely a high-yield.

It is under this high output that Xiangjiang films are popular in Asia and the world.

However, when shooting Japanese TV dramas in Japan, they usually shoot strictly according to the eight-hour working system. If more than eight hours are worked, it is considered overtime and overtime pay is required.

That is to say, the shooting time of Japanese TV series is twelve hours a day. Under this intensity, it is not bad to be able to shoot one episode in three or four days.

Of course, if it is a modern urban drama and everything goes well, it is also possible to shoot one episode a day.

Although "101 Marriage Proposals" has twelve episodes, the essence of the content is only a few episodes. Most of the content in the middle is filled with water. In addition, it is a modern urban drama with old drama elements added, so the shooting speed is relatively fast. quick.

Basically, when filming this drama, an episode can be achieved on average every two days, that is, it can be finished in less than a month.

At the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang followed the crew to watch, but in the middle of filming, Cao Zhiqiang would not be there every time.

Cao Zhiqiang will only be there when filming key episodes, and will not be there to observe when other excessive content is being filmed, but continues to hide at home and write songs.

On the contrary, Nakamori Akina and Koizumi Kyoko performed well on the set.

Although Akina Nakamori's acting skills are not good, but the character design is pleasing and does not require too many complicated expressions.

In addition, driven by Takeda Tetsuya, an old drama player, Nakamori Akina gave full play to her melancholic temperament, which made her acting look more natural and smooth.

Needless to say, Kyoko Koizumi's acting skills, the younger sister who plays the heroine is very qualified, fully revealing her pure, lovely, daring to love and hate lively temperament, forming a clear contrast with the melancholy and restrained Akina Nakamori.

This kind of contrast imperceptibly promotes the plot and makes the characters fuller.

All in all, due to the sufficient funds, the excellent script, and the excellent cooperation of the actors, the whole shooting process went smoothly and everyone benefited a lot.

During the filming process, a movie from China was quietly released in Japan the day before the Japanese Cultural Festival without much recommendation.

This movie is the Japanese version of "Love in the Guting" - "Love in the Rain".

The reason why the Japanese version is called "Love in the Rain" instead of "Love in the Guting" is because of the result of comprehensive consideration.

Because in Japan, most people like things like rain, snow, and cherry blossoms, but they don’t feel average about things like Guting.

As for the "Love in the Guting" directed by Cao Zhiqiang and starring in it himself, the biggest element is actually the rain, or the plum rain, so people at Warner Japan think that simply calling it "Love in the Rain" is more important. The implication is more in line with Japanese aesthetics.

At the same time, in order to increase sales, they also deliberately changed the name of Cao Zhiqiang in the actor list to Qingquan Morinaka, just to gain some popularity.

After all, few people in Japan know the name Cao Zhiqiang, but if you want to talk about Qingquan Morinaka, not many people don't know it.

Because the two songs that Morinaka Aoizumi recently released in Japan are still sweeping the Japanese pop music industry, and they are still hanging on the first and second positions of the Oricon Weekly Chart, and no one can shake them at all. .

According to the current situation, those two songs will continue to be in the top ten of Oricon's weekly chart for at least five weeks.

Of course, five weeks is the worst, and it may actually be longer.

All in all, as far as the Japanese pop music industry is concerned, there has not been any new song comparable to the two songs "Tsunami" and "Kimi がいるだけで".

Many analysts believe that although these two songs have their own characteristics, they are both deeply moving and have a beauty that shocks the soul, so they present an invincible posture and compete with each other.

For example, when "Tsunami" first came out, it won No.1 immediately, but as time went by, the song "Kimi がいるだけで" actually climbed up again, and won the No. [-] again.

That is to say, in the end, for these two songs, for a while, you take the first place in the weekly chart, and for a while, I take the first place in the weekly chart. The two songs are like this: you come first and I come second, and you come second and I take the first place. play the same.

However, No.3 is constantly changing, and the weekly sales performance of No.3 is far inferior to that of No.2.

Many people say that at least at this stage, there is no music producer who can produce songs that can compete with the two songs of Aoizumi Morinaka.

Not only professional music critics said so, but ordinary people have proved it with their achievements. Cao Zhiqiang's songs are different, basically no rivals.

So many fans said that in the Japanese singing world, only Morinaka Aoizumi can defeat Morinaka Aoizumi himself.

Of course, this is over, but it can also be seen how powerful and popular the two songs Cao Zhiqiang produced before are.

No way, the early 80s, especially 1983, happened to be a period of sluggishness in the Japanese pop music industry, and there were basically no good songs.

That's why Cao Zhiqiang's two pop songs, which were also very brilliant later, are so outstanding in this period, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they stand out from the crowd.

At present, in the field of Japanese pop songs, the only one who can compete with Cao Zhiqiang's two Japanese songs is Michael Jackson's song from the United States. Other than that, there is really no rival.

Therefore, although Aoizumi Morinaka's debut time is very short, and he has only released two singles so far, but because of his excellent performance, Aoizumi Morinaka's name has also become a household name.

In this case, changing the actor's name to Morinaka Qingquan is the best gimmick.

In fact, it's not that Warner Japan didn't want to give more publicity to the movie "Love in the Rain", but the time was too rushed.

Japan's cultural festival is on November [-]rd, and Warner didn't have much time to promote it.

If you want more publicity time, you have to push it back, but if you push it back, there will be no better release time.

In addition, the partner Dongbao Film Company, as well as Japanese cultural officials, also hoped that the film would be released at the special time of the cultural festival, so it was released in a hurry without too much publicity.

Fortunately, in the two days before the release, Cao Zhiqiang personally paid for a few TV commercials on Fuji TV, and the effect was not bad.

The main reason is that some of the pictures captured by the TV commercials are too beautiful, and they are all exquisite MTVs.

There are a total of three TV commercials, corresponding to three scenes, and three songs in the background music.

The first scene is the first encounter between the male protagonist and the female protagonist in the gazebo. In addition to the post-processed ancient pavilions, flowers and plants, courtyards, lightning, thunder and continuous drizzle, there is also a piano song "That Summer" Solo version pure music.

"That Summer" was originally an episode of "Spirited Away". Cao Zhiqiang independently produced the piano solo of this song as the background music, and combined with the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time, it is indeed very artistic.

Because when the hero and heroine met for the first time, they didn't speak to each other, and the pure music of the song "That Summer", combined with the sound of the rain, really complemented each other even more.

"That Summer" was not an original episode in the movie, it was added temporarily when Cao Zhiqiang re-dubbed the Japanese version later.

Not to mention, such a plus, it does have that flavor.

The scene of the second commercial is the highlight moment of the film,

That is to say, the male protagonist ran downstairs in a fit of anger, the female protagonist chased him out, and then the female protagonist saw the male protagonist at the corner of the stairs.

At this time, the male protagonist is downstairs, and the male protagonist is crying to vent his dissatisfaction to the female protagonist, while the female protagonist on the stairs listens tearfully, and finally can't help but rush over, crying and hugging the male protagonist.

The dubbing of this scene is the theme song "Rain" of the film.

The catchy song, combined with the sound of rain and crying, makes those who hear it cry and those who see it feel sad.

Cao Zhiqiang tried it, even if he didn't know the plot, just seeing this clip, many people would be quickly infected and cry with envy.

And with this gimmick, I believe many people will be interested in this movie.

In the last scene, the male protagonist looks up at the plane with a sad face, and then the male protagonist reads the letter with a smile under the light of the desk lamp in the middle of the night.

The background music of this scene is the pure music of "So Many People in This World".

In the pure music of this scene, it is a duet of guitar and piano, but the guitar is the lead vocal.

This advertisement is very obvious, symbolizing parting and future.

Basically, the three commercials roughly explain the essence of this movie, but they will not spoil, but it will make people itch.

Due to the beautiful pictures and good music of the commercials, although these three advertisements were not played many times, and each advertisement was only played three times, the effect was very good.

So much so that on the day of the premiere, there were almost no seats left.

This is very rare without large-scale publicity.

After all, "Love in the Rain" is a foreign film, not a local Japanese film, and without intensive publicity, almost all seats are sold out on the premiere day, which is indeed rare.

Even for Hollywood movies, after intensive publicity, unless it is a blockbuster movie, there are seldom a full house on the first day.

It can only be said that the three commercials that Cao Zhiqiang made out of his personal pocket temporarily are really impressive.

That is to say, Cao Zhiqiang only promotes movies. If he brings goods in those three commercials, I believe the sales will also skyrocket.

However, just promoting the movie is actually not bad.

Because although the plot of the movie "Love in the Rain" is average and not that complicated, the picture and music are really good, and they can really bring people an audio-visual experience.

When many people first watched this movie, they were healed by the various images in it, and then moved by the stories in it, laughing with the laughter of the characters, and sad with the sadness of the characters.

So much so that when they saw the back, almost everyone cried, and even many young people cried directly in the theater.

When the video played to the end, everyone seemed to let out a sigh of relief and finally recovered.

And when the movie ended and the subtitles started, there were actually easter eggs behind.

The easter egg is a high school girl and a little boy in elementary school, standing together in a gazebo to shelter from the rain.

Then the little boy felt bored, so he took out a pair of paper paddles and asked the girl to play a paper paddle game together.

The girl readily agreed, and then happily played with the little boy to take pictures in the gazebo.

The background music of the easter egg is the harmonica solo of "Unheard Flower Name".

At the end of this easter egg, the rain stopped, and the girl and the little boy separated from each other.

There can be many interpretations of this endless easter egg.

You can say that this easter egg can actually be regarded as the past of the hero and heroine, which means that the hero and heroine met in the gazebo a long time ago, but they didn't know each other at that time.

Of course, you can also read that this is two other unrelated people, symbolizing another love story.

It doesn't matter how the audience interprets the easter egg, anyway, as long as the pictures in the easter egg look good and the music sounds good, that's enough. (end of this chapter)
