While the studio was disbanded, the experience of large film companies in making commercial films seemed to disappear. However, rather than disappearing, it should be described as a quest from scratch under the new era.

After all, as the times move forward, many things have changed.

How to find the balance between the new and the old, and how to deal with the impact of TV and videotapes on the film market, these all need to be explored bit by bit.

Especially in Japanese society after the bubble era and the bursting of the bubble and the destructive earthquake, the entire spiritual outlook is completely different from that positive "golden age".

For example, "living a good life through hard work" is an ideal. In the past, everyone has indeed been working hard to strive for this goal, and many movies with similar themes have appeared.

But in the bubble economy, everyone was thinking about "how to live a good life through speculation". By the 1990s when the bubble burst, among young people, it was probably a state of "being finished love is done".

In today's era, if you can't get the recognition of this generation, you can't get the recognition of this generation.

The Japanese film industry has collapsed - people say this when the box office report comes out every year, but when the report comes out for the next year, people realize that the box office of the previous year is not the worst.

However, it is too arbitrary to assert that Japanese movies are over because of the box office difference. In fact, every year, no matter what the box office is, excellent works are born.

Even so, this statement still has some consolation prize color.

Movies are the art of burning money, and it is almost impossible to find "good quality and low price" in movies. Without a big investment, it is difficult to make "blockbusters".

However, "weeds in the cracks of the rocks also have their own way of survival", and there are also ways to shoot with less funds. In this state where you have to find ways to save due to insufficient funds, you may even accidentally create interesting things.

If the theme of the movie is the art of "ideals" and "nightmare", then in this era, looking for the various possibilities between ideals and nightmares is also what Ye Zhao lives in and people who devote themselves to film production seek to pursue.

As for the subject of "love", it can be an ideal or a nightmare, but more often, it appears in a hazy state between ideal and nightmare.

Thirty-two years ago, when Takeshi Saito produced "Gaze at Love and Death", this was an "ideal" love. The terminally ill girl was positive and moved to the last moment of her life with the encouragement of her youth.

Thirty-two years later, when Ye Zhao and Yukihiko Toshi came to produce "Gaze at Love and Death", the fairy tale had extended to reality, but this was by no means transformed from "ideal" to "nightmare". What he and Yukihiko Toshi were doing was to convey the hazy thing between ideals and nightmares.

When he decided to make this movie independently, Ye Zhao set up his own independent production company in order to facilitate scheduling. This word sounds very majestic, but in fact it is just a studio.

The film company disbanded the studio and no longer kept actors and directors, which made the directors more free.

After leaving the film company, whether it is a famous director or an unknown person who has entered the film company, they all set up their own studios for independent production.

And as this team grew, independent theaters also appeared.

It is also thanks to these predecessors that Ye Zhao, who is currently producing independently, provides such a very friendly environment for outsiders and unknown people.

When big film companies were controlling the world, cinema chains were blocked by big film companies. Unless they bought movies, they could only be screened in short-term through small cinemas.

Compared to all matters after the filming of the film, the life of spending a coin in half in the crew is the easiest, because this stage is the purest - especially for the crew, who has no production committee and everyone is trying to do the same.

It is said that for stage actors, the best time is the second to last scene. In this regard, at this stage, the three actors who are starring in the stage actors are like stage actors who are playing the second to last scene.

I have had the experience of acting, and when I work as a director, I will unconsciously use the actors' eyes to observe the actors in front of the camera. In this way, there are some benefits, such as if I will be substituted into the actors' identity and consider why the actors in front of the camera perform such a performance.

As time quietly came to July 12th, the filming progress of the movie came to an end. As Tsukiyuki shouted the last "はい~CUT!", the filming part of this "Gaze at Love and Death" came to an end.

After the sound of "はい~CUT!" fell, the venue was quiet for a while, and Yukihiko Tsuki slowly said the crucial sentence, "At this point, the filming of "Gaze at Love and Death" is over!"

Then, with this sentence as the button to start, everyone's cheers and thanks came out on the set.

Takahashi Ryu also delivered the bouquets ordered in advance, and Ye Zhao delivered them to the three main actors.

When recording the final speech, Ye Zhao brought the 8mm camera used as a prop when filming "I heard that Kirishima wants to retire" and the actors came to play guest interviewers to ask questions.

The first one to take the camera was Sakai Masato, followed by Yoshida Yama, and Nakayama Ninja ended up. It is worth mentioning that after Nakayama Ninja asked about the two actors she played with, he pointed the camera at Ye Zhao.

"Does Ye Jun have any thoughts on the shooting of this movie?"

"That's right, of course it's great." Taking a 8mm camera, Ye Zhao recalled the scene where Kazuo Tomoto was on the rooftop when filming "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire". "Then, everyone's performance is also very good... It may be suspected of boasting about it, but everyone's performance is really perfect."

"What else?"

Ye Zhao thought about it, "If there is any, the film of the 8mm camera is really expensive. So (to save money) don't shoot me anymore."
