Chapter 502

"Where did an American go to Japan and become a samurai?"

"Yes, that's the idea."

"Seriously, I'm really interested in this story, especially when I can work with director HAYANO."

"Mr. cruise, I have to emphasize that this film will be shot in Japan, and you need to learn a lot about samurai and the training of action drama. Can you accept that?"

"Of course it's OK. I'm a man who likes sports very much."

"That's good, but we really have to learn a lot this time. Besides..."

"Director HAYANO, I'm actually very confident. I have made some understanding of Japanese culture before. I believe I can complete this role very well."

"Well, I certainly believe it, but I also sincerely remind you that after all, shooting in Japan, many places still need to adapt."

"Of course, but, director HAYANO, I also want to make some requests."

"Go ahead, please."

"In fact, I have learned before that there is a movie of this type, which also describes an American's samurai life in Japan. Moreover, the script has been formed for a long time, but it has always been in the state of preparation, so..."

"I know this movie. It's called the last samurai, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

The conversation between Mr. caono and Mr. cruise is very pleasant. Oh, by the way, it's really nothing. Mr. cruise is single now.

Now, what does Mr. cruise want to do with the last warrior?

"Director caono, I would like to ask, why not shoot according to this script? What I've heard is that it seems that you need to make a lot of changes, including a character like a blind swordsman

"Yes, that's it."

The grass wild fortunately listened and showed a smile.

Sure enough, Tom Cruise should have asked this question.

"Well, can you tell me why?" Mr. cruise put on a very curious expression.

In fact, many people in Hollywood denounce Mr. Cruise's acting skills, but in fact, his acting skills can't be said to be poor. I really can't say that. In fact, he has played many interesting roles. To be honest, among such a handsome actor, his acting skills are much better.

It's really better than a hundred flower movie emperor, not a bit.

However, such a performance is not enough in front of Hayao. He can see through it at a glance.

"Well, I'll talk about it." HAYANO was lucky to know that there would be this problem. Moreover, it was very close. "In fact, I also knew the screenplay, even because I knew it, so I asked the wozhuski brothers and Warner to do these things. I just wanted to adapt it to make the script slightly different from the original."

"Hey, director HAYANO, your change is not a little different. It's really a big change." Cruise smiles.

Must say, his smile is very handsome, the key is, there is no philosophy breath, that is the kind of pure handsome feeling.

"The reason is very simple. I've heard about that screenplay before, but in my opinion, that screenplay can't really show the oriental culture."

"Oriental culture?" Mr. cruise showed a look of surprise, he can't help saying: "but in my opinion, that play is really very, very Oriental, especially in Japan. Oh, yes, it's that kind of feeling. It's really too Japanese."

"Mr. cruise, I'm a real Oriental. Don't you think it's strange what you're saying now?"

After hearing this, cruise was stunned and then laughed, "yes, yes, I'm wrong, ha ha..."

What are they arguing about?

In fact, it's very simple. It's the original "the last warrior".

HAYANO is very clear that Tom Cruise should have been in touch with the script at this time. After all, the script itself has been written for a long time.

In fact, this is an interesting place, that is, most of the starting American entertainment articles do not pay attention to this aspect. That is to say, many writers will write a certain movie, but they do not know that the script of that movie may have existed long ago.

That is to say, there will be more bugs. Katano feels that this may be one of the reasons for the decline of Meiyu culture.

I can't help it. Hollywood in the United States is like this. There are too many scripts. Many of them have come out a long time ago, but they haven't been made. There are many reasons. For example, a popular script now is superman of the whole people.

In fact, the script has been there for ten years, but it hasn't found a good chance to shoot. For this reason, Hollywood still has a "blacklist", which is not a bad one.

So, fortunately, caono had prepared for it, but he had to insist on it.

The reason is very simple, that is, "the last samurai" this script, it is very difficult to really express the oriental culture or the Oriental humanistic spirit.

Or it should be said that this film is actually from the perspective of Westerners to see Japan, that is, Americans to see Japan.

Because of me, there are many strange plots in the script.

HAYANO is the person who has seen all the later films. He knows that Mr. Cruise's performance in the film is excellent, and the production of the whole film is excellent, but...

The last samurai is really not an oriental culture!

To begin with, there is a huge problem.

The plot of the last samurai is like this: Nathan ogren, an American officer, was invited to Japan to teach the Japanese modern fighting methods.

In the first battle, his subordinates were in chaos. Later, he also fell into a bitter battle. In this failed battle, he was captured.

However, before the capture, he killed a man, who was the younger brother-in-law of Sheng Yuan, the emperor's teacher and the later Japanese Niubi character.

In fact, it was a sneak attack, but later... Well, the main character has a huge aura.

Sheng Yuan didn't let his men kill Nathan.

Later on, the aura of the protagonist was indescribable.

He not only didn't kill him, but also saved him. After saving him, he also taught him Sabre skills, which are the so-called "martial arts" of samurai. He even asked his sister to join him

It's really hard to understand.

Of course, Sheng Yuan has his own reasons, because Nathan is from a foreign country. It's not a problem for him to kill people, and it's an honor for his brother-in-law to die.

But in fact, it is a key reason.

Nathan understands modern warfare. He's here to spread advanced experience.

Sheng Yuan knew this, he saw it, so he later won with the help of Nathan.

It seems that the reason for winning yuan is good and reasonable, but what about extending it?

In those days, shooting skills, the standard of muskets, and even Gatling.

That is to say, these are really advanced, and they are indeed much better than the old ones, that is, the people represented by Sheng Yuan theory.

In other words, this is a higher level of technology and civilization.

So, does Sheng Yuan's action mean that the higher civilization can kill the lower civilization at will?

It can be further extended.

The modern scientific and technological civilization of the West had a great impact on the backward samurai culture of Japan at that time, so the samurai had to bow their heads.

To put it bluntly, the whole movie is actually about the samurai who adhere to the tradition headed by Sheng Yuan, fighting against the new war situation or the new foreign civilization. But in fact, from the beginning, Sheng Yuan himself has given in.

Even if it is not from the perspective of the big country or the eastern and Western culture, it is not difficult to find such bugs just by deducing the plot in this way.

What's more, Mr. tsaono originally planned to do something about culture, especially in the eastern and Western cultures.

Therefore, Katsuko HAYANO absolutely has to make some changes to the film. Now, there is a chance that Katsuko HAYANO can take advantage of the idea put forward by the old guy Takeshi Kitano.

Moreover, he remembers very clearly that Warner made the last samurai. As for the script, he found the two brothers and sisters who were about to become brothers and sisters. Naturally, they were safe.

It must be changed, absolutely.

The last samurai is a movie. If we really look at it in depth and interpret many of the things, we can see that many of the things in it are mainly from the perspective of the west, or the United States.

It is the United States that wants Japan to be like this. So, with this script, this film.

Americans knock on the door of Japan. They bring modern civilization and technology.

Therefore, the Japanese should be grateful to the United States. Even if they kill people, even if they do a lot of things, even if the main fight in this movie is Japanese.

This is Asia in the eyes of the Americans, that is, the door of China is not opened by the Americans. Otherwise, they might make a movie like the last martial arts master.

So, can HAYANO really convince Mr. cruise?

"Sir, please allow me to tell you what real Japan or real East looks like."

"That's great."

"In oriental culture, it's never good for bad, but straight for bad. I'll explain that blood for blood, tooth for tooth, the other party treats me with courtesy, and I also return the other party with courtesy. This is Oriental philosophy."

Katano said, still smile, Tom Cruise understand?

The handsome man was in a daze for a long time.
