Chapter 162 "Notes" Starts Filming

"The above are all qualified members of the first phase of AKB48, thank you for coming, thank you."

After finishing speaking, Akimoto Yasushi led the AKS people into a room next to him.

And in this room, waiting for them are twenty qualified first-year students of AKB48!

Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not go in with Akimoto Yasushi, because he came this time with another purpose, which was to use his popularity and popularity to attract the public's attention to this new idol girl group.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stayed in the audition venue, accepting the indiscriminate bombardment from the media.

. . . . . .

After a hard publicity, Kiyoshi Sakamoto successfully conveyed that he is the music producer of AKB and that he is very optimistic about this girl group to the media present.

Finally, under the protection of Uncle Ishida, Sakamoto Kiyoshi blazed a "bloody road" surrounded by media reporters, left the Don Quixote building, and got into the familiar nanny car.

For AKB, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't have much interest in the first place, and he only joined in to get a share of this group in the future.

In the AKB group, the only person he is interested in is A-chan.

So, after knowing that Ah-chan entered AKB just like in his previous life, he stopped thinking about AKB.

Just let Akimoto Yasushi continue to run his girl group, and I'll just come and see Ah-chan if I have something to do, um, that's it. . .

So, sitting in the nanny car, Kiyoshi Sakamoto breathed a sigh of relief, and started chatting with Uncle Ishida.

While chatting, they talked about what they had just discussed on the phone, which was Kiyoshi Sakamoto's next work arrangement.

It was only then that Kiyoshi Sakamoto realized that he would be very, very busy in the next few months.

Because, "Death Note" started shooting in a few days.

His next five months will be taken up by the filming task of "Death Note".

As the most important protagonist in the movie, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will almost stay with the crew until March next year.

Why is the shooting cycle of "Death Note" so long? This is because "Death Note" is going to shoot two parts, which are the first part and the second part.

The comic version of "Death Note" has too much content, and a 120-minute movie cannot completely make a more complete film.
"Death Note", so, in order to better film this story with great charm, Warner is planning to divide this movie based on comics into a front and a back part. The combined duration of the two parts exceeds 240 minutes!

In this way, although director Shusuke Kaneko can have enough time to tell the story through the screen, relatively, the shooting and production cycle of the film will become very long.

For those actors who are not very popular and do not have much work, the long shooting time is not a bad thing; but for the popular singer Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it is right to leave everything behind and disappear from the music scene for five months His popularity and influence will have a huge blow.

However, it is not always possible to become the leading actor when you get an electric shock for the first time. Therefore, after careful consideration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided to take the leading role in this movie.

Because, he knew that this movie would definitely be a big success, and in that case, he would be able to gain popularity in the film and television industry in one fell swoop.

Moreover, in the eyes of Sony professionals, since his debut, both records and albums have achieved great success, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is now a popular singer who is well-known in neon, his voice and figure are everywhere, and the display screens on the street , CM, posters, TV. . .

However, this may also lead to the freshness that Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave to the public, which is not as strong as it was at the beginning. To put it bluntly, it is a bit aesthetically fatigued.

At this time, disappearing from the music world for a few months will actually help the public rekindle a sense of curiosity about him. When the movie is released, the effect achieved may be even better!
Therefore, even if several Sony directors feel that Kiyoshi Sakamoto should not be allowed to make a movie at this time, he should take advantage of the victory and continue to release singles and band albums, bringing the band to the ranks of the first-line bands in one fell swoop.

However, in the end, with the strong support of Naoki Kitagawa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not become a "money-making tool" for constantly releasing records.

"An all-round entertainer is always more important than a singer!"

This is the most fundamental reason why Kitagawa Naoki supported Sakamoto Kiyoshi on the board of directors.

That's right, Sony Records, before Sakamoto Kiyoshi, all its artists were singers, after all, they were record companies.

Moreover, there is only a singer's record contract in hand, and no brokerage contract. Of course, they are only responsible for the music of the artist. Others, such as acting, variety shows, and modeling, are generally in charge of the brokerage firm.

However, when the "monster genius" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was born, the talent of Sony Records discovered that the record company can also launch an all-round artist.

The premise of all this is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's record contract and brokerage contract are both in the hands of Sony Records.

Don't think that Sony Records is just a music company, and underestimate its resources and contacts in other areas.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as the first Sony record artist with both a record deal and a management contract, received resources that other firms could not give him.

It can be said that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the "son" of Sony Records.

All Sony's resources on acting and variety shows are all on him. Otherwise, do you think that Kiyoshi Sakamoto can easily appear on TV Asahi's ace music program MS, and Fuji TV's hey3?
I'm afraid I'm living in a dream! ! !
It was all because of Sony's terrifying influence that he, a rookie, went to MS to play songs when he first debuted.

Ordinary singers, at least a few years after their debut, may have the opportunity to appear on programs like MS. Kiyoshi Sakamoto is backed by Sony, so he was able to appear on the stage as soon as he debuted, where others may not be able to appear for several years.

And "Dragon Cherry" is also a role that Sony helped him get.

This is all thanks to Sony.

Not only the opportunity to appear on shows and act, but also various advertising resources and publicity resources. In order for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a genius with great potential, to become the first all-round artist of Sony Records, the price Sony paid was no more than what Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave to Sony. The benefits are less.

Therefore, although Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been poached by many large brokerage firms, they have not agreed, and this is one of the very important reasons.

Because Sony treated him as if they were treating the future Sony brother. All kinds of precious resources were ruthlessly thrown at him.

If he went to another firm, even a giant like the Burning Department or the Big Four, it would be impossible for him to have such treatment and resources.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is very clear that in Sony, he is Sony's favorite future banner, the future brother.

Not to mention, he still has a dream, and he has to stay at Sony to have the chance to fulfill that dream.

However, that dream is still very far away. Only when Kiyoshi Sakamoto climbed to the top of the entertainment industry can it be realized, so, boy, fuck you! ! !
And "Death Note" is the first step!
. . . . . .

On October [-]rd, Kiyoshi Sakamoto joined the crew and started shooting "Death Note".

The shooting location is basically in Tokyo.

Because this is a suspenseful fantasy film set in a metropolis, the crew of "Death Note" does not need to go to other places to shoot like the crew of "Dragon Cherry". The place.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto found out that his first scene as the leading actor was filmed in a large studio belonging to Warner Films Japan.

It is worth mentioning that because Kiyoshi Sakamoto's height has increased by two centimeters within two months, he has reached 1.7.

With some makeup and lighting effects, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked a few years older than he actually was, and looked a lot more mature.

"Sakamoto-kun, well, I think, if you say now that you are an adult, everyone will believe it. Because, looking at you now, I feel that when you were 20 years old, you should be like this now."

Sitting with Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the side, Kenichi Matsuyama, who asked the makeup artist to touch up his makeup, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto who had already put on makeup, and sighed.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was studying how to perform the first scene, replied with a serious face when he heard what Matsuyama said, "Impossible!"

"Eh? Why?" Matsuyama was confused.

"Because, when I am 20 years old, I will be more handsome than I am now!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto changed from a serious face to a narcissistic face in an instant.

"Huh?..." Matsuyama Kenichi was speechless when he heard Sakamoto Kiyoshi's brazen words.

In fact, because of the elevator incident, the crew of "Death Note" all have a good impression of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and Matsuyama Kenichi is no exception.

Although Matsuyama Kenichi is five years older than Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the two have become good friends.

In addition, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's humorous and cheerful personality, as well as his warm smile, allowed Kiyoshi Sakamoto to integrate into the crew in the shortest possible time.

However, the crew of "Death Note" is good at everything. They don't need to go far to shoot, and they don't need to sleep in sleeping bags or tents every day. The food is also very rich because of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's joining.

However, there is one thing that makes Kiyoshi Sakamoto feel very uncomfortable, no, alone.

Nakamura Shido!

This buddy is a famous kabuki actor.

In the "Death Note" movie, he is responsible for the dubbing of Ryuk, the god of death.

These are not the reasons that make Kiyoshi Sakamoto feel unhappy, what makes him angry is that he is Yuko Takeuchi's husband! ! !

　Went out, just got back, a bit late, sorry!
