The behind-the-scenes story of my mother getting married

The film is based on the novel of the same name by Tsukune Sakuno, which won the 3rd Japan Love Story Award. The novel was also adapted into a play that was staged in the fall of 2010. The cast of the drama version is completely different from the movie version, but Kenta Kiritani, who played Kenji in the movie, also made a cameo in the drama. Director Wu Meibo pays special attention to details. When decorating neighbor Saki's home, many small props that show the character's characteristics were arranged, such as a foot massager, a special calendar, and a fluffy kotatsu. She doesn't even let up on humble TV shows. Saki especially loves watching comedy shows. In the film, a funny performance on TV was filmed once, and once only the sound was heard. Although everyone said that no one would pay attention, Director Wu still invited two groups of artists to record two programs respectively. . Kiritani Kenta plays Yoko's young remarriage partner. This role is set to be a chef and there will be cooking scenes in the film. For this reason, Kiritani went to the Tsuji Cooking School with a history of more than 50 years to study. He even practiced knife skills by placing a cutting board on the TV in the hotel during the filming. Kiritani was frugal by nature. When practicing knife skills, he did not cut vegetables and throw them away. Instead, he kneaded wheat flour into the shape of konjac and cut it again, pinched it and cut it again, practicing over and over again. The Morii family has a black pug named "Hachi". The staff searched around Kyoto and finally spotted two black pugs that looked almost identical. One of them was particularly well-behaved and expressive, while the other ran full of energy. So the two dogs were recruited to "play the same role". The film was shot in January 2010, and the indoor scenes were filmed at Taiqin Toei Kyoto Film Director, a famous place for period dramas. The sets of the Morii family and the Ueno family were built in the second studio, and it is said that the ready-made sets of the TV series "Sengagata Heiji" were also used. The winter in Kyoto is very cold. The studio is different from Tokyo. The ground is not paved with concrete but is used to match the period drama. You must wear thick-soled boots to keep your feet warm. In addition, there was no air conditioning in the filming set, so everyone had to gather around the carbon stove to keep warm. The crew shot an outdoor scene at Keihan Makino Station. This station was chosen because there were few people there and it was very quiet. However, on the day of filming, it was actually full of people. Many movie fans quickly came to watch after getting the news from the Internet. The staff advised everyone not to stay in the station, so people took the train for one stop and then came back. On that day, Makino Station's inbound ticket sales hit a record high, and the number of complaints also hit a record high. The stage of the film is set in Kansai, and all the lines are in Kansai dialect. The main supporting actors Kiritani Kenta, Ezawa Eiko, and Kunimura Hayabusa are from Kansai, while the leading actors Otake Shinobu and Miyazaki Aoi are from Tokyo. Director Wu requested that "there must be no Kansai accent that is laughed at by Kansai people." "In order to reach the standard of authentic dialect, the two conducted special dialect training. In addition, dialect guides were arranged at the filming site to be on call at any time, and every line in every shot underwent thorough "quality inspection." Various dishes are also an important part of the atmosphere and expression of emotion in the film. From the home cooking on the Mori family table, to the side dishes brought by neighbors, and the bento box sent by Yuezi to his mother, all of them are filled with hard work and ingenuity.
