Chapter 226 The Second Part Released
2006 was a breakthrough year for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, not only in his main music business, but also in his other "side jobs".

Not to mention that Kiyoshi Sakamoto led THE SUN band, broke a series of records, and also refreshed the sales records of individuals and bands. In terms of music, they have made great achievements.

Take a mystery novel serialized by Kiyoshi Sakamoto during his vacation as an example. He also won the Akutagawa Award through this novel and became the youngest winner of the Akutagawa Award, one of the most important literary awards in Japan. .

His serial novel "Golden Dreamland" sold millions of copies once it was published, and he became a million-selling novelist immediately.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acting career, the most important breakthrough is his debut on the big screen.

In the first part of "Death Note", which was released in June this year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto played the leading role and presented his screen debut to the public.

The leading actor "Ye Shenyue" he played in the movie was amazing, which inspired many film critics, who praised and praised his performance.

Not only professional film critics, but the general public was skeptical and scrutinized about the singer Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who played the leading role in the first "electric shock", and went to the theater to watch Kiyoshi Sakamoto's debut film.

However, they were all moved by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's superb acting skills and temperament that fit the character very well.

In addition, as the opponent of "Night God Moon" in the movie, "L" played by Kenichi Matsuyama also showed superb acting skills. The wonderful confrontation between the two in the movie, open and dark, is undoubtedly a highlight. It also makes the audience excited.

Especially the loyal fans of the manga, they all went to the theaters one after another to support this live-action film that was adapted from the manga so faithfully to the original.

Moreover, at the time when THE SUN's albums were already on sale, the public was missing and curious about Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had been on vacation for two months.

I wonder where he has been and what he has been doing for the past two months. . .

And at this time, the movie starring him was released.

In this way, the public had a channel to vent their thoughts about him, so his fans and those who followed him all entered the movie theater with the mentality of "go and see".

Next, you all know.

"Death Note" became the most popular movie in June and July, with a cumulative viewership of over 6 million!

It won the movie week box office championship for several consecutive weeks, and when it was released, the cumulative total box office also reached 45 billion!

It is also scheduled to rank in the top five of the 2006 annual movie box office rankings.

It is conceivable how popular this movie is.

It is because of this movie that Sakamoto Kiyoshi's vivid acting skills conquered the public at once.

After the movie was released, everyone knew that he, a genius in music creation, turned out to be an acting genius as well.

It also gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto a new identity, actor, after being a singer and music producer.

As a result, he became an amphibious artist with talent and strength in both aspects, which also made Kiyoshi Sakamoto a big step forward towards an all-round artist.

This is the most breakthrough point in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's career.

Because, when crossing borders, especially when singers cross actors, they will receive much more attention and doubts than normal actors.

But there are very few who can break through doubts and really rely on their acting skills to gain public recognition.

Take the Japanese entertainment industry as an example.

Among the male singers, the ones who have done the best crossover should be Kimura Dagami, Fukuyama Masaharu, Arashi's Matsumoto Jun, and Ninomiya Kazuya.

They all bring their fans in music to film and television, which is also an advantage of being an idol crossover actor.

Among the female singers, Nakajima Mika can be said to be the most successful one.

The topical work "NANA" released last year also made her the most well-known cross-border female singer in one fell swoop.

This time, with his excellent performance and superb acting skills in "Death Note", Kiyoshi Sakamoto successfully crossed the border in one fell swoop and entered the circle of actors.

This also makes Kiyoshi Sakamoto's path as an actor in the future may be as smooth as his music path.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning.

However, one thing that Sakamoto regrets is that he did not attend the premiere of the film.

"Actor" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, because before the film was released, he was in a period of cessation of performing arts activities, so, as the leading actor of the "Death Note" movie, he did not participate in various program announcements and promotional activities of the crew.

Of course, there was no sign of him at the premiere.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto went to the cinema by himself and watched the finished film, he still felt somewhat regretful.

Because this is his movie debut, or his starring debut, but he didn't go to the premiere.

Therefore, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who missed the premiere last time, he must not miss it this time.

After all, the premiere of the sequel of "Death Note" "Death Note: The Last Name" is his first starring movie premiere.

. . . . . .

On November 11, Kiyoshi Sakamoto attended the premiere of the movie "Death Note: The Last Name" starring him, Matsuyama Kenichi, Toda Erika and others.

This is also the first performing arts activity that Sakamoto Kiyoshi has appeared in public since his return.

Therefore, that night, many fans and movie fans were attracted to come to support.

And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto appeared at the premiere wearing a well-fitting black suit, the audience of more than 500 people applauded and screamed excitedly.

In order to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who missed the premiere last time, enjoy the enthusiasm of the audience, the film crew also let Kiyoshi Sakamoto play the role of host on the stage to enliven the atmosphere of the scene.

For this task, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is of course very happy.

So, in the premiere, the funny and lively crew who kept making jokes about Matsuyama, Toda and others are back.

Fans are also very happy to see such a big boy who keeps smiling heartily on stage.

Because, for those who like Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's smile is the most attractive charm.

After breaking the news about a wave of interesting stories about the crew, and taking photos with Kenichi Matsuyama, Hikari Mitsushima, and Erika Toda, Sakamoto officially announced that the movie will begin!
In addition to the original cast of the main characters in the second part, "Death Note: The Last Name", Takada Kiyomi played by Katase Nana is added. As the "third Kira", she played a very important role in the film ; and the original new character in the second part, the female anchor Saeko Nishiyama played by Uehara Sakura, she aroused Takada Kiyomi's strong desire for revenge.

And Ryuk, the god of death, also has two more accomplices - Rem, the god of death, and Geras, the god of death.

Both of them are the gods of death of Mimisa, but they both self-destructed in order to save Misa. After screenwriter Tetsuya Oishi and director Shusuke Kaneko made reasonable choices for the plot of the original work, the main line of the story branched twice, making the plot of the latter part More ups and downs, fascinating.

Moreover, with the first part recognized by the public, the second part, which already has a broad fan base, is also expected and sought after by the public.

In terms of movie content, compared to the previous part, director Shusuke Kaneko put the focus of the second film on "Yakamizuki" played by Sakamoto Kiyoshi and "L" played by Matsuyama Kenichi. On the desperate duel.

As the slogan said: "Unpredictable new ending", the screenwriter made drastic revisions to the original work, which made the plot more compact, the suspense level increased, and the ending was unexpected. The director handled the plot quite climaxes, various Reasoning duels and brain battles also made the audience hooked.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of the audience who did not dare to blink for fear of missing the highlights, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting below and was watching the finished movie for the first time, and Kenichi Matsuyama, who was sitting next to him, and Toda said.

"It seems that when you go out, you should prepare caps, masks, and sunglasses."

And when they looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with doubts on their faces, what Kiyoshi Sakamoto said next made them laugh too.

"Because, you guys are going to be even hotter than before!!!"

The success of the first part is destined to attract more attention to the second part, and based on the feedback from the audience, it can be predicted that the second part of "Death Note" "Death Note: The Last Name" will be a big box office hit.

Coupled with the fact that Warner Bros. once again maintained the number of screens released in the previous film, and under the double bombardment of Sony and Warner's publicity, the attendance rate of this movie on the first day unexpectedly reached an astonishing 90.00%[-]!
That is to say, except for some minor accidents, the seats that bought tickets but did not enter the venue were empty, almost all of them were full.

Under such circumstances, all eyes are on the box office figures on the first day of the second part of this menacing movie.

The next day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was waiting for the box office release on the first day of the movie at Sony, took the box office statistics from the excited Uncle Ishida, and saw a surprising figure.

On the first day, the box office exceeded 10 billion yen. Such a figure made Kiyoshi Sakamoto smile knowingly.

"Qing, it looks like this movie of yours may have a higher box office than the previous one!!!"

The uncle standing next to him also rubbed his hands, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto excitedly, and said.

"50 billion? No, 55 billion is also possible!!"

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi also looked at the uncle with a smile, speculating on the final box office of the movie, and did not interrupt.

"Qing, how much do you think the final box office will be?"

At this time, the uncle suddenly asked about him as the "male protagonist".

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also said confidently.

"I don't think it's a problem if it exceeds 60 billion..."

"Because the leading actor is me!"
