Shogo Kawata is the only survivor of the previous battle royale game. Throughout the entire drama, his character is actually that of a "time traveler." Everyone is at the first level, but he is at the second level. Therefore, when it comes to human nature and the rules of the game, he has an inherent information gap compared to others. Coupled with his decisive character, he also has a unique and powerful fighting force in this game. The audience inherently likes to identify with the strong. Therefore, Shogo Kawada is actually more suitable to be the main perspective of the entire battle royale. In addition, using Kawada Shogo as the protagonist can also magnify the kindness of the original male and female protagonists. In Hira Kiyoshige's script, Kawada Shogo saw the shadows of himself and his girlfriend in Nanahara Akiya and Nakagawa Noriko, and finally understood why his girlfriend lay in his arms with a smile. Chapter 12: Attack or Defense? After confirming the protagonist, Ping Qingshan also strengthened the villain line in the movie. That is the story of Kazuo Kiriyama.
In the original version, Kazuo Kiriyama is a super killer and a tool to advance the plot. He kills more than half of the people in the whole movie, but his story line is very weak. Ping Qingshan slightly strengthened this by giving him a background identity of someone who admires the strong and believes that everything can be solved by violence. Not too many extra scenes were added. After all, there were too many characters to be portrayed in the entire battle royale. If there was more here, there would be less there. This way. The plot of Ping Qingshan's version is very clear. The male protagonist Shogo Kawada, as a survivor of the previous battle royale, wants to find out the meaning of his girlfriend's smile before her death. He participated in the battle royale again, and in the process, he met Nanahara Akiya and Nakagawa Noriko. He saw their kindness, and also saw the shadow of himself and his girlfriend, so he chose to team up with these two encumbrances. After going through a lot, he finally defeated Kazuo Kiriyama. In the last scene, he broke the rules and watched Akiya Nanahara and Noriko Nakagawa leave on a boat at sunset at the place where his girlfriend died. Except for this main line. In the original movie, Ping Qingshan's side storyline was barely touched. For example, the branch line of Hiroki Aisugimura. Hiroki's plot is what Hiraki Seishi himself likes, and it is also a plot that is easy to stand out. At the beginning of the battle royale, Hiroki got a GPS that could see everyone, which was equivalent to turning on a full-map cheat. If you hide quietly, you will definitely survive to the end. But he risked his life to cross the island in order to protect Qin Tan, the girl he had been secretly in love with for a long time but had never dared to confess his love to. As a result, he was mistaken for an enemy by Qindan, who was almost scared crazy by the rules of the battle royale, and was eventually shot to death by the one he loved. After being shot several times, before he died, Hiroki was still thinking about the person he loved and asked Qindan to run away quickly because the gunshots would attract other people. There are many personal stories like this.
Throughout the original version of the battle royale, each student has his own branch line, and these branches eventually converge into a symphonic story. It is these outstanding side quests that make the original Battle Royale so enduring. In addition to these, the original battle royale also has a hidden plot, which is the death of Mr. Kitano. Ping Qingshan once wanted to remove the teacher line and make the movie completely commercial. But after thinking about it, I decided to keep it. After all, commercial films also need stories to be elevated. It’s just that in Hira Kiyosugi’s version, the teacher line becomes relatively simpler and easier to understand. In the new script. Kitano was originally a very respected high school teacher at a well-known local university. Because of work reasons. He was transferred to an ordinary high school to teach, and the class that participated in the battle royale was the first class he served as a homeroom teacher. This class is called a problem class by the school. After Kitano arrived at the school, he wanted to work well in the new environment and lead the children in this problem class well, but he did not expect to be despised and provoked by the students. Cancel their physical education classes and they will strike to hold a basketball game. He made the late students stand in the corner as punishment, but the other students in the toilet poured buckets of water on his clothes. He was put in solitary confinement for treating bad students, but his thigh was scratched by a student. Because of these mistakes in teaching, he lost his job. Kitano, who lost his job, also suffered a failure at home. The family atmosphere was cold and indifferent, and his daughter used "uncle" instead of "dad." In the end, Kitano, with resentment towards the students who despised him, participated in the Battle Royale and took on the supervisory job. But when all the students died and the revenge was completed, Kitano realized that this was not the result he wanted, and fell into deep disappointment and loneliness. So in the very end, he tricked the students into shooting himself. Before dying, Kitano said. "Listen, if you hate someone, you pay the price." This sentence is the last scene that Ping Qingshan gave to Kitano. It is also Mr. Kitano’s final summary of himself and society. This is the whole process of an adult's demise. Although the plot line of the teacher is clear, Ping Qingshan did not intend to give too many shots to it during the filming, as long as he could make the story clear. As a pragmatist, what Ping Qingshan wants for his first film is to be a big hit at the box office. Kitano's plot can be used as an embellishment, to make people think deeply, and to allow fans to dig deep into human nature, but he has to be careful about the degree. The focus should still be on the students' plot in order to attract attention and get more box office.
JK was wearing a uniform skirt and talking silently to a middle-aged man. Ping Qingshan has a scale to judge what the audience likes to watch and which is more important. ~~ Ping Qingshan was still reading the script, concentrating deeply. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly, looked at Ping Qingshan, then looked out the window, as if she was thinking about something. Looking out from the car window, all you can see is the bustling Tokyo. Steel forests, high-rise buildings, and huge LED screens constantly play advertisements. There was a constant flow of people, and it seemed that everyone was heading towards their own place. Utaha Kasumigaoka boredly raised a pig doll hanging on the mobile phone in her hand to her eyes and fell into her own thoughts. Soon, the little pig doll yawned as if it came alive. During the time when Ping Qingshan was away, Kasumigaoka Utaha often talked to this pig doll in her heart, sometimes discussing novels, and sometimes simply confiding in each other. She even gave the piggy doll a name. "Xiaoshan, do you think I should be more proactive?" "Master Shiyu, from my experience, the enemy is just pretending to be reserved. The relationship back then was so beautiful, he must have been shaken..." The chubby little pig appeared in Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind, and her tone was firm. "You mean, all I have to do now is wait?" Just when Kasumigaoka Utaha was answering the pink pig's question. Like the confrontation between an angel and a devil, a black pig held up a steel fork and inserted it directly into the pink pig's ass. Just puncture it and let the air out. "Wrong, wrong, wrong!!! Lord Shiyu, you have to understand that the enemy is on the defensive now. If we don't attack, then there's no need to fight this battle. Wouldn't it be better to just go back home? What's more, don't forget that you were the one..." The black piglet has a very sinister expression. "Back then!! That was..." Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could say anything, the pink piglet that had its butt pierced and had already deflated and flown away appeared again. She knocked the black piglet away with her butt and regained the upper position. "The master had no choice back then. Even if he is an enemy, he should know that..." "Oh my god, is that so? Do you want me to ask for you? Who knows? Maybe the other party is waiting for this question, and then slaps you in the face and says some cruel words. Tsk tsk tsk, that would be a beautiful picture..." Before the black pig could finish his words, he was punched away by the pink pig. Chapter 13 I have written it all down in my notebook! "Master, don't listen to that guy. Qingshan is not that kind of person. Have you forgotten the happy days you spent with him? Believe in yourself and believe in him!"
"But if that's the case, why hasn't he taken the initiative to bring up the matter of getting back together?" "Well~~~How about you take the initiative to ask, Master?" "No." The little theater in Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind was so vivid that she didn't even notice that Hira Kiyoshige had put down the script in his hand. "What don't you want?" Putting down the script, Ping Qingshan looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with some confusion. His eyes seemed a little dazed and he couldn't help but ask her a question. "Thinking about something?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned by the question, and then she came to her senses. He shook his head quickly. "No, I didn't think about anything." Ping Qingshan nodded. In fact, as a person who has lived two lives, how could he not see what Kasumigaoka Utaha was thinking? But the problem is, he believes that he has a clear conscience in this relationship. It wasn't him who broke up. Moreover, Ping Qingshan did not give Kasumigaoka Utaha a chance. But after the two met again, she kept wanting me to bring up the matter of getting back together so that she could occupy the climax of their relationship. This is wrong. As the saying goes, if you make a mistake you must admit it and if you are beaten you must stand at attention. In a relationship, if you cannot face up to your mistakes, if you keep making excuses for your mistakes, problems will arise one day. Since Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't want to say it, Ping Qingshan just smiled. He had plenty of time for this relationship and was not in a hurry. "Okay, the script is good, I'll take you home!" Ping Qingshan shrugged: "I'll take the script to the studio to revise it later." "Well? Take me home? Why don't we have dinner together?" Kasumigaoka Utaha thought that if Ping Qingshan came to pick her up in the afternoon, it would be natural for them to have dinner together. Then, while eating, the two of them would reminisce about the past, and maybe they could clarify what was in their hearts. This is why she is relatively calm. But when Ping Qingshan said he would take her home. She was really anxious. "The crew is all here, and the filming location has been chosen. We are just waiting for the script to come out so we can set up the scene. We don't know how long we will have to work today, so I won't treat you to a meal. Let's do it another day." This first movie is so crucial for Ping Qingshan. Ping Qingshan is not a person who likes to work overtime, but now he has to work overtime to catch up with the progress.
"Hmm~~~" Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted. They just met in a hurry and were about to leave after taking the script. This was not the result she wanted. Finally at this moment. Kasumigaoka Utaha did not choose to defend, but chose to attack. "Then, can I come with you?" The girl immediately added, "I can also help with revising the script when the time comes."
