Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 583

In the office, the atmosphere froze for a while.

Uncle Ishida had an expression of "Are you kidding me?", his pupils dilated, and he stared closely at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

The news that came out of Kiyoshi Sakamoto was so unexpected that even Uncle Ishida, who thought he had seen big wind and waves, couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

"What did you say? You say it again?"

"You heard me right, I'm going to direct myself." Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied in a flat tone.

"Huh huh?!!"

Uncle Ishida was shocked again.

That's right, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is preparing to play the roles of screenwriter and director in the movie "Those Years"!
This was what he had planned for a long time.

In film and television works, it is particularly attractive to have such two main creators. One is the screenwriter in charge of coding, and the other is the director in charge of shooting and production.

Screenwriter or director is important. On the surface, this is a very complicated issue.

However, this question is like asking "Who is more important, a man or a woman", it is so stupid.

But why do people sometimes feel that screenwriting is more important?
As far as TV dramas are concerned, due to limited production conditions, what retains audiences must be fascinating plots, dialogues, characters and relationships, etc.

So many times, you will see that there is only one screenwriter in a Japanese drama.

However, each episode was filmed by a different director.

In TV dramas, the screenwriter's role is indeed more important than the director.

Especially in Japan, the entertainment circle where you play alone, you pay more attention to screenwriting.

People in the industry respect directors and screenwriters very much.

On the pyramid of the Japanese entertainment industry, the status of directors and screenwriters is naturally higher than that of actors.

Especially well-known screenwriters sometimes have a higher status than some directors.

For example, Kankuro Miyato, Shinji Nojima and others are all famous screenwriters who have written many scripts that are very popular with the audience.

Because of the previous success, when the audience sees the name of the screenwriter, they will usually subconsciously think "Ah! The previous works of this screenwriter are very good, and this one should also be good", so they pay attention to the play. . .

Therefore, before the TV series starts broadcasting, the screenwriter's name will even be used as a means of publicity.

The golden combination of Etsuko Kitagawa and Takuya Kimura, Shinji Nojima's trilogy of metamorphosis, or the combination of Fumiki Kaneko and Kankuro Miyato, it sounds like the audience will have a strong interest in TV dramas .

There are many viewers who watch the show because of the screenwriter.

Therefore, in the Japanese TV drama industry, the presence and status of screenwriters is relatively higher than that of directors.

However, in this regard, movies are very different from TV series!
No matter how long a movie is, it can't last as long as a ten-episode TV series.

A series with more episodes is a performance stage dominated by screenwriters.

However, it is very difficult to tell all the content of the story and the changes in the relationship between the characters in just over an hour.

It depends on the director's storytelling skills, whether he can transform the text of the script into the picture well.

The director's personal lens language and directing style will play a leading role in the entire movie.

As for the screenwriter who writes the script of the movie, of course it is also very important.

After all, the book of a play. . .

The director also constructs the screen according to the text in the script. If there is no script, he will not be able to shoot anything.

However, compared to the dominant role of TV series, the role of film screenwriter is more of an auxiliary role.

The creation of a film is holistic. The director can be said to be the author of the work, and the screenwriter is like the director of photography, art and martial arts, contributing his professional knowledge to assist the director in completing the entire final film work.

However, it is not uncommon for film directors to also serve as screenwriters.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little dissatisfied with Uncle Ishida's shock.

"Why are you so surprised?"

"I said that when I was a screenwriter, your reaction was not as great as it is now..."

Uncle Ishida's chest was heaving and heaving, and he looked very excited, "That's because you said you want to be a movie supervisor!"

"So what? I am the screenwriter who wrote the entire script, and of course I am also the person who has the clearest grasp of the entire story line. Then I will directly direct and tell the content of the script through the screen. Isn't it the best choice?" ?” Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked.

"Moreover, many directors are writers and directors, such as Kitano Takesan, Iwai Shunji-san, Sonoko Onsan..."

"That's what I said..." Uncle Ishida calmed down at this time, and began to analyze from Sakamoto Kiyoshi's perspective:

"As for the screenwriter, after all, you are a famous novelist who has won the Akutagawa Award. You are also writing in terms of writing. You are completely competent for the job of screenwriting."

"No one will object to that."

"but!"

Uncle Ishida held the script in his hand and persuaded him seriously: "You are only 20 years old, you have no experience in filmmaking, and you are not a major in film. How can you make a film? How can you build a film? Is it visually appealing?"

"Although the sub-shots in your script are very well drawn..."

"It's not me hitting you, you know, a 20-year-old film supervisor is more unacceptable than a 20-year-old genius screenwriter..."

"The producer will question you!"

"Actors will question you!"

"The film distribution company will also question you!"

"Even your most loyal fans will question you!"

"Even the media will laugh at your overreaching..."

"Are you mentally prepared for these rumors and malicious slander?"

Uncle Ishida's words hit Sakamoto Kiyoshi like a heavy punch.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi kept his face calm and blocked all his fists indifferently!
Uncle Ishida didn't know.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought of this from the very beginning when he proposed this film project.

Even, further than he thought.

"I know all of this, I know all of this..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice contained a hint of indifference.

"But, do you think that I will care about the outside world's comments and stagnate?"

"Of course. In order to prevent those people from messing with BB, of course I have made all the preparations."

"That's why, when I filmed "Hot Blood High School" a few years ago, I started to learn how to shoot movies."

"It can be said that I have been preparing for three full years in order to be able to direct a movie!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing his usual confidence.

"What's more, I don't have any plans to let other producers intervene in this movie..."

"What do you mean?" Uncle Ishida asked suspiciously.

"The entire investment in this movie will be borne by me alone!"
