On the 10th, TBS TV station once again released the last trailer and promotional video before the broadcast of "Antarctica".
The magnificent symphony combined with the magnificent scenery of the Antarctic continent once again aroused widespread concern among the Japanese people.
"Nakamura-san, what is your assessment of the audiovisual rating of "Antarctica"?"
On the Kamakura Seaside in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kitano Takeshi and Nakamura Masahiro walked around admiring the sea view in the distance.
"The publicity campaign has been so big recently, and the promotional videos have raised the public's expectations so high. It shouldn't be low, right?"
"Well...."
Masahiro Nakamura thought for a moment, looked at a cruise ship casually, and gave the answer after a long while.
"Probably around 30."
As for the final result of a movie or TV series, the supervisor as the person in charge must have a very high say.
To put it bluntly, from preparation to shooting, and then to post-production, which supervisor would not give credit to his own work?
Just like Zhang Guoshi, who is separated by an ocean, will he have no idea about the quality of the films of "Three Guns" and "The Great Wall"?
I'm afraid, as early as the film's preparation stage, he knew that the film would be a bad movie.
Therefore, Nakamura Masahiro naturally has a certain judgment on the quality of "Antarctica".
The level of excellence cannot be said to be great. After all, the script framework of "Antarctica" has considerable limitations.
But after a series of adjustments by Masahiro Nakamura, huge investment from TBS TV station, and the blessing of many acting schools, the quality of the TV series is definitely above the standard.
However, after all, the current audio-visual performance cannot be compared with that of the past. People's entertainment methods have long been diversified, so Nakamura Masahiro does not dare to have too high expectations.
His goal is "JIN-Jin-2" in the spring release of TBS TV station. This comic drama adapted from the previous work won the audio-visual championship in the first half of the year.
The investment in "Antarctica" is huge, with many acting talents joining the cast, and the TV station TBS has given it the meaning of a Taiwanese celebration drama. There is no reason not to get good results?
"30?"
Kitano Takeshi glanced at Nakamura Masahiro subconsciously, a little surprised by his words.
"you sure?"
Although some TV series have indeed achieved this audio-visual performance in recent years, there are only a handful of them.
If "Antarctica" directed by Masahiro Nakamura can achieve this audiovisual score, it will probably be this year's audiovisual champion.
"Until the final audio-visual results are released, there is no way to confirm this statement."
Nakamura Masahiro shook his head, looked back at Kitano Takeshi, and then forced out a smile.
"However, my judgment is that it is around 30, and there should be a chance to achieve this audio-visual score."
"That's not bad. As long as it's not too far behind, I might be able to win this year's audio-visual performance championship."
Kitano Takeshi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and one could feel his joyful mood.
"I hope..."
Pursing his lips, Nakamura Masahiro was not so optimistic. He was quite confident in the quality of "Antarctica", but he was not sure whether it could retain enough viewers.
"Okay, just try your best."
Kitano Takeshi raised his hand and patted Nakamura Masahiro's shoulder, and words of comfort rang in Nakamura Masahiro's ears.
"It's useless to think too much. Your focus should be on movies."
With a disappointed sigh, Nakamura Masahiro followed Kitano Takeshi's footsteps, and the two of them continued walking along the seaside.
The blue sea is endless as far as the eye can see, and the rippling water washes back and forth on the coast, just like the reincarnation of life.
The gate on the left in front is Kamakura High School Main Station. For many fans of "Slam Dunk", this is a famous check-in place.
The Enoden train slowly arriving at the station stopped steadily, and passengers who had been waiting for a long time filed in one after another.
After a while, accompanied by a slight banging sound, the train swayed away from the station.
Through the car window, you can see many passengers lying in front of the window looking out of the window curiously.
Either shaking his head, pointing, or taking pictures from time to time with his mobile phone and camera.
Almost everyone looks like a tourist, and you can tell at a glance that they came here specifically to check in.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Masahiro Nakamura looking at the train, Takeshi Kitano couldn't help but stop and asked a little curiously.
"No, it's nothing..."
After coming back to his senses, Nakamura Masahiro shook his head, and then he and Kitano Takeshi continued to walk.
"As for teaching, I actually don't have much to teach you."
Walking slowly, Kitano put his hands behind his back, assuming the posture of a senior veteran.
"After all, it can be seen from the movie "One Long Day" that you are very mature in film techniques."
"Perhaps some places are a bit jerky and give people a stiff feeling... But this only shows that you are not proficient enough."
"If we really want to talk...Nakamura-san, I personally feel that I may not be as solid as you in terms of basics."
With a smile in his eyes, Takeshi Kitano continued to pace and turned to look at Masahiro Nakamura.
"What I can teach you is probably some film styles and theories."
"However, as long as you can understand it yourself, don't follow me... Everyone's thoughts and perceptions are different, so the style they present will also be different."
"For example, if I were to shoot the movie "A Long Day," the movie would definitely have a different style."
Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but smile, and the effect of the film "A Long Day" directed by Kitano Takeshi came to mind.
Is it a clean violent action? Or is it a long and brisk thought? Or is it a long and indescribable act?
"By the way, when are you going to start filming "Model Student"?"
After chatting nonchalantly about teaching, Takeshi Kitano quickly brought the topic to the movie prepared by Masahiro Nakamura.
"The location scouting work should be almost done..."
"It's almost done. Interviews for actors may begin next week..."
After thinking for a moment, Masahiro Nakamura responded directly: "If everything goes well, filming should start at the end of the month."
According to the formal process of a movie, the longest time-consuming part is not the shooting stage, but the preparatory work and post-production costs.
For example, for the movie "Model Student", the preliminary preparations have started long ago, but as a result, the preparations have not been completely completed yet.
This is not because of the failure of the production team, but because the preparation work for the movie "Model Student" was relatively complex and far less simple than the movie "A Long Day."
In addition, Nakamura Masahiro's decision-making supervision was not in place, so the preparation progress was naturally delayed again and again.
However, as Nakamura Masahiro's work focus gradually shifted to "Model Student", the progress began to accelerate.
"Filming will start at the end of the month?"
Kitano Takeshi nodded and said with a hint of emotion: "That's pretty fast. Do you need my help?"
"That's not necessary, I can handle it."
He glanced at Kitano Takeshi with some curiosity. Nakamura Masahiro was very surprised by Kitano Takeshi's enthusiasm.
"I heard Kanemaru-san say that the distribution scope of "Model Student" will be released simultaneously throughout Asia?"
"how do you know?"
Astonished words blurted out, and Nakamura Masahiro immediately remembered that Kitano Takeshi Studio's partner has always been Warner Bros.
Obviously, Takeshi Kitano could know this news, and it was most likely revealed to him by Warner Company.
"Kanemaru-san is my friend. I know this news is not normal..."
Sure enough, Kitano Takeshi's answer confirmed Nakamura Masahiro's judgment. In fact, it is not surprising, given his relationship with Kanemaru Yoshinoori, it is normal to learn this news.
"The movie is still in the preparation stage, and Warner has made the decision to release it simultaneously across Asia. It seems that they are very confident in your movie..."
There was a hint of envy and emotion in his tone. Takeshi Kitano was quite envious of the treatment given to Masahiro Nakamura by Warner Bros.
Although he is a senior director who has been famous for a long time, Takeshi Kitano has never enjoyed the privilege of being released simultaneously across Asia.
Nakamura Masahiro looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the question?
I could only breathe a deep sigh of relief, then squeeze out a forced smile, purse my lips and move on.
Glancing at Masahiro Nakamura who remained silent, Takeshi Kitano lost interest in chatting for a while, so he walked slowly.
After walking along the seaside for a while, the two turned to a nearby shopping street at the next intersection, intending to have something to eat.
There are rows of low shops on both sides of the street, with signboards of different colors hanging above the doors, complementing each other.
It was like a vegetable market with a bustling flow of people and noisy noises everywhere.
In addition to the familiar Japanese, there are also unfamiliar but familiar Chinese and English, but the accent sounds awkward.
"Is there anything you want to eat?"
Kitano Takeshi stopped, looked casually towards the street, and asked Nakamura Masahiro for his opinion.
"It will be all right...."
Nakamura Masahiro glanced at the nearby restaurants. The colorful shop signs made people feel dazzled.
"Then, let me make the decision."
Kitano thought for a moment, fixed his eyes on the sign of a restaurant in front of him, and then walked straight over.
"We're going to eat ramen. Kamakura is a small place and there aren't many places to choose from."
Nakamura Masahiro followed up with Takeshi Kitano, carefully avoiding the slow-moving train, and then entered the restaurant with Takeshi Kitano.
The area of the restaurant is not large, and several dining tables are placed relatively compactly, making the already small space even more cramped.
"Boss, let me order two ramen..."
After entering the restaurant, Takeshi Kitano sat down on the empty seat next to the wall and greeted him carelessly.
