"Siguoyi!"

Feelings, are the two sisters teaming up to fight?

Before, Takeshi Iwata wanted to make a very good classic movie of his own.

But right now...

No matter, there is still one month, it should be done!

And at this moment... Akina picked up the phone directly.

"Teacher, we succeeded."

"???"

Who is this calling for?

Soon, the call came to Takeshi Iwata, and then...

"Haha! Come on, let me see first!"

"Huh? Mr. Kurosawa?"

"Otherwise, who else could it be? Ah, you guy, it's too worrying. It's rare that there won't be any movies coming out this year?"

Figured it out!

It turns out that Mr. Kurosawa has always wanted to watch Takeshi Iwata's new film, and he really can't stand the satire of the current Japanese public opinion.

Yes, a lot of public opinion in Japan is grabbing the fact that Takeshi Iwata doesn't have a movie this year.

In fact, it is normal for a well-known director to release a film in a few years.

But, you Iwata Takeshi is different, you used to make at least three movies a year.

Is your creative enthusiasm gone?

"Teacher, please don't worry, I will finish the final work right away!"

In short, Akira Kurosawa was overjoyed.

……

Time always passes quickly, and many people once wanted to fight against the passage of time.

And most of them failed.

Legend has it that Qin Shihuang once sought alchemists to refine the elixir for him, and later there was the story of Xu Fu's journey to the east.

This story is very famous and is known to many people in Japan.

Later, it was changed by Zhang Yimou to "The Love of Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Wars".

In fact, this movie is Zhang Yimou's first commercial attempt, simple and elegant, he wants to make money.

It worked, and the movie is still pretty good commercially, and, moreover, the story is pretty interesting.

This bridge section through ancient and modern times gives people a refreshing feeling.

Really dare to shoot.

Now, when Akira Kurosawa thinks of Qin Shihuang, he thinks of this movie, "The Love of Terracotta Warriors from Ancient to Modern Wars".

In this movie...it seems that Queen Qin Shi came to play Guan Yu, Sparassi!

It's better not to think too much, let's take a look at this "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" first.

"Teacher, what were you thinking just now?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm old, I took a nap."

Nakadai Tatsuya was still by his side, but this time... that's right, Iwata-san still didn't come.

What is the reason?

It's very simple, I guess he will blush too.

Tatsuya Nakadai wanted to laugh when he thought of Takeshi Iwata's expression, but for now, let's watch this movie.

All the equipment has been prepared, and in Akira Kurosawa's home, there are special personnel to do these things, and we are waiting to see.

Akira Kurosawa sat on the tatami, his eyes lit up.

At the beginning, it turned out to be a scene of slave trading.

A lot of people drink, a lot of people... But, Xiao Ren, this girl is indeed very conspicuous.

As soon as she appeared, even if it was just a glimpse, she left a deep impression on people.

And that big Lu...

Inexplicably wanted to kill him.

As soon as Akira Kurosawa had this idea, Jing Ke appeared.

Is it Takeshi Iwata?

It's completely different from before!

……

Chapter 431 "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" and "Seven Samurai"

Sometimes it is like this, just one appearance, some images can give people a deep impression.

And this happens to be what Akira Kurosawa is good at.

At least, the "Yin Xin Bang" I told this kid before was not in vain.

Takeshi Iwata's Jing Ke, in terms of appearance, may not be very amazing.

It's just a simple dress in the Warring States period, and there is not much specialness. If it is on weekdays, it is probably an ordinary person.

But when he appeared in this place all of a sudden, especially when the camera was on him, his whole person was very different.

Maybe it has something to do with that bamboo stick, maybe it doesn't matter.

In short, it can make people feel that this person is special.

And then, scenes similar to killing arrays appeared, it was really...

Sri Lanka One!

Akira Kurosawa could not help but give such an evaluation.

It should be said that Japanese sword and halberd films are actually very good, even among action films all over the world, they can be said to be unique.

Akira Kurosawa is even more of a master of sword and halberd films. He made quite a few films of this type back then.

It is precisely because of this that Akira Kurosawa understands the problems of the sword and halberd film itself.

Although, the Japanese sword and halberd film is very good-looking, and the momentum is also very good.

However, in terms of its martial arts movements, it is not very beautiful.

Of course, this is with whom to compare.

So if you just look at Japanese sword and halberd films, you don't think there are too many problems. The scenes of sword fights, killing arrays, etc. are also very good to watch.

And, it's pretty realistic.

Even, it has the feeling of Hollywood western cowboy movies.

It's the kind that is very common. Two people go to a duel to see who can draw the gun faster.

In sword and halberd films, it is whoever has the faster knife and who has more momentum.

It's pretty much the same.

In short, it is to do more in terms of momentum, but I really want to say how beautiful those knives are.

This is not as good as the action movies in Hong Kong now.

It should be said that it was not comparable to before. The martial arts movies in Hong Kong before gave people a strong sense of beauty.

Although it can be seen that those martial arts are after the fight, and before the end of the 70s, the martial arts action movies in Hong Kong were not very good.

In fact, in the original martial arts movies in Hong Kong, the action scenes were actually not very good.

For example, the famous "Huang Feihong", this series of movies is indeed very famous, but as far as the overall action of this version of Guan Dexing is concerned, it can only be said that Guan Dexing can really do it.

But, even for Mr. Guan Dexing, his kung fu in martial arts is more about flirting, like monkeys stealing peaches.

As for other people, there is no way to watch it at all, and one of the highlights in this series of movies has to be said to be Liang Kuan, also known as Cao Dahua.

He is in charge of making trouble and making fun of it.

But it was also Cao Dahua, who later became the number one brother of Hong Kong martial arts movies, guaranteeing the box office.

A work like "The Palm of the Tathagata", in terms of martial arts, is really just gestures, and it's over.

It wasn't until later that the Northern School troupe, such as Yuan Xiaotian and Yuan Jiaban, joined the Hong Kong film industry, which made the martial arts scenes more and more beautiful.

And it was from this time that Japanese sword and halberd films could no longer catch up.

Of course, Akira Kurosawa is very clear about this, and the "Jing Ke Assassination of the King of Qin" that he saw before him.

What a Jing Ke, really amazing!

Just this martial arts scene, which combines the advantages of killing battles and martial arts movies, is really beautiful.

Let's put it this way, the previous "Kill That Man" also had wonderful martial arts scenes.

But that movie is in modern costumes, and now it is in ancient costumes, which has a more feeling.

What's even more amazing is that Jing Ke's movements are not sloppy at all, not for the sake of being handsome.

Obviously, Takeshi Iwata paid a lot for the action scenes.

Of course, Akira Kurosawa's films are mainly realistic, and the action scenes are a bit poor, which is not a shortcoming.

But it looks better, which can also be regarded as a kind of progress.

However, when the old man Akira Kurosawa was immersed in it, he was suddenly shocked!

That little blind girl!

Originally, Xiaoren would definitely have a show, who might not see it?

The girl Shinobu has collaborated with Takeshi Iwata in many movies, as long as she appears, there will definitely be an important scene.

Akira Kurosawa made this clear from the beginning, but he never expected that Shinobu's 'play' would be like this!

Sri Lanka One!

When the little blind girl stabbed Jing Ke with her own life, the sword passed through the little blind girl and pierced Jing Ke's body.

This lens is simply amazing!

More importantly, it was too unexpected.

As far as normal logic is concerned, Jing Ke's assassination of Lu Da this time is absolutely chivalrous.

In fact, those swordsman films shot by Akira Kurosawa before can also be said to be martial arts films in urban Japan, such as "Yin Xin Bang" and "Tsubaki Thirty Lang" are very obvious.

To put it simply, it is a story of a chivalrous man helping everyone, but the chivalrous man Tsubaki Sansaro doesn't seem like a good person, and he always gives people the feeling of being foolish at first.

But in any case, it is good to be a chivalrous man, especially Jing Ke on the screen now, he is avenging the people who worked hard after the village was massacred.

He should be just.

As for Xiao Ren, the little blind girl, she is indeed a victim, an absolute victim.

But now, she is attacking her benefactor.

But, what if we think about it from the perspective of a blind girl?

At this moment, Kurosawa seems to have returned to the 50s.

The film I made in that era.

"Seven Samurai".

This movie is almost as famous as "Rashomon", and the story told in this movie.

In fact, it is a chivalrous story, but there are some different things in this chivalrous story.
