Chapter 263 Looking Back It Has Been Thirteen Years

Film director Takashi Miike led the crew members, and after pushing the door open, the first thing he saw was the scene where the two male protagonists of his movie had a happy conversation.

The two who saw Takashi Miike coming in also stopped talking and bowed to the members of the director team one by one.

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Kiyoshi Sakamoto, please give me your advice!"

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Takayuki Yamada, please give me your advice!"

After seeing the ceremony, although he was a little puzzled in his heart, Takashi Miike, who acted vigorously and vigorously, nodded his head lightly and motioned them to sit down.

Shortly after taking their seats, supporting actors such as Akisa Kuroki, Kyosuke Yabe, Kenta Kiritani, and Kenichi Endo all came to the meeting room.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the "Hot-Blooded High School" crew meeting officially began.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the seat, looked around and saw that the entire crew was almost all men, and when only Kuroki Meisa was a woman, he couldn't help complaining softly.

"Did I come to a boy's high school? This is really a serious imbalance between yin and yang..."

However, Takayuki Yamada, who was sitting next to him, heard this complaint and echoed him with a smile.

"Big yo pinch (also)."

Speaking of the filmization of "Hot Blood High School", it is also full of twists and turns.

"Hot-Blooded High School" is the work of cartoonist Takahashi Hiroshi, and its original name is "CROWS".

"CROWS" is a very representative "bad" comic in the 90s.

Beginning in 1991, the manga has been serialized in "Monthly Shonen Champion" for eight years, and the cumulative circulation of single volumes has reached 3200 million.Since the magazine it was published in is not well-known, this comic is not very popular, but it has always had a group of quite fanatical fans.

As early as when the manga was still being serialized, many filmmakers intended to put it on the big screen, but they were all rejected by Hiroshi Takahashi.

Takahashi Hiroshi is very distrustful of remaking manga into film and television works, because he has also seen many manga works after filming, which are completely consistent with the original manga.

Examples of directly destroying the original work abound.

Because he himself has learned similar painful lessons, he doesn't want his cherished "CROWS" to be ruined by others.

Interestingly, the producer sitting at the scene, Mataichiro Yamamoto, was also one of the rejected people back then.

However, in the end, "CROWS" was made into a movie.

It is necessary to mention the key figures who contributed to all of this.

This person is Kyosuke Yabe who played the role of "Katagiri Fist" in the movie.

Yoshisuke Yabe is a good friend of Takahashi Hiroshi. He has always been a loyal fan of this work and loves everything about this work. Therefore, he has been persuading Takahashi Hiroshi, hoping that he will agree to make the manga into a film.

At first, Takahashi just ignored it, but later he gradually discovered that Yabe Kyosuke loved this work deeply, perhaps even more than himself.

So deeply moved, he finally nodded and agreed, and would consider making a film.

Yabe Yosuke, who was overjoyed, immediately brought Yamamoto Mataichiro to Takahashi Hiroshi.

After a long period of discussion, an important decision made Hiroshi Takahashi finally agree to the request to make the manga into a film.

That is, the producer is planning to invite Takashi Miike to direct the film!

Takahashi was very excited when he heard the name Takashi Miike.

Because, the violent aesthetics of this ghostly director can be said to fit the style of the entire comic of "CROWS" very well.

Moreover, in Takahashi's mind, Takashi Miike is the number one person in the list of ideal director candidates. When he was painting "CROWS", he even played Takashi Miike's "The Strongest Legend of Fighting Flowers in Osaka" series as the BGM .

And after the two met, they hit it off.

The two decided not to repeat the story of the manga in the movie version, but to use a new original story to create a "CROWS" that surprised fans of the original book

And the Chinese translation of the prequel "CORWS ZERO" is "Hot-Blooded High School"! (In order to make everyone more pleasing to the ear, the name "Hot-Blooded High School" is used directly.)
For a brand-new story, of course, it is necessary to choose the most suitable actors for the role in order to make the movie more perfect!
Therefore, in order to select the bad students of Suzuran High School, the production team held a large-scale audition, with more than 800 candidates.This selection, which is called "Fire Audition" by the director and producer, does not ask whether the name is famous or not, and only seeks to find the candidate who best fits the character image.

Kaname Endo, Shunsuke Daito, Nuo Takahashi and others here all passed this audition before successfully getting the role.

Maybe some of them have no acting experience, but from the perspective of their characters, the manga author Hiroshi Takahashi has already deeply nodded.

It is worth mentioning that the younger brother of one of the leading actors, "Izaki Shun", was played by Miyazaki Aoi's husband, Takaoka Soo.

However, because of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's intervention, Dongbao directly "kicked" Takaoka Sofu out.

Therefore, Kento He Lai from AMUSE agency, because of his excellent performance in the audition, finally got this important role.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto's hero is hard-won.

Although Dongbao sent him the invitation of the main character from the beginning, Dongbao will not just put eggs in one basket, they are also ready at the same time, if Sakamoto Kiyoshi does not accept this role, then find people on top.

And that person is Shun Oguri!

And this candidate was recommended by Takashi Miike.

Originally, Takashi Miike was interested in Shun Oguri, who rose to prominence with "Golden Master" and became popular with "Boys Over Flowers".

However, since Dongbao confirmed that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was the leading actor, he, the film supervisor, did not have much power to ask the producer to replace the leading actor, so he had no choice but to let it go.

After all, in Japan, it is not big actors or famous directors who have the most power in movies, but film companies.

Therefore, Takashi Miike, who has never watched Kiyoshi Sakamoto's films, is somewhat critical of Kiyoshi Sakamoto who "airborne".

He believes that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is so young, and his acting skills can't show well, the ruthlessness and coolness of the male protagonist, as well as the sharpness in his eyes.

He is very handsome, and also starred in a two-part hit "Death Note", but for Miike Takashi, who has only seen Sakamoto Kiyoshi's performance in "Dragon Sakura", he still doesn't approve of Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

However, under Takahashi Hiroshi's crazy "Amway", Miike Takashi slowly changed his view of Sakamoto Kiyoshi after watching the two parts of "Death Note".

In the movie, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's stunning performance also surprised him.

And another "big guy" in the crew, Hiroshi Takahashi, the original manga author, has been a fan of Kiyoshi Sakamoto from the very beginning. . .

He was very pleased with Dongbao's decision to invite Sakamoto Kiyoshi to play the leading role of "Takiya Genji".

Because he has long known how intoxicating Sakamoto Kiyoshi's acting skills are. . .

As "Death Note", which is also a manga film, was released in June, Takahashi Hiroshi bought a ticket and went to the theater, wanting to see how the film adapted from the manga was made.

The result surprised him.

Especially the "Ye Shenyue" played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's version of "Yakamizuki" is sinister, mad with a hint of dissatisfaction with reality, and coupled with his bewitching smile, the figure of Kiyoshi Sakamoto overlaps with "Yakamizuki" in the comics. Together.

This made Takahashi Hiroshi always like this movie to his friends after watching the movie.

"This is the best manga adaptation movie I've ever seen!!! Kiyoshi Sakamoto is simply the real version of Yagami!!!"

This made him remember a young actor named "Sakamoto Kiyoshi" in his heart.

Therefore, he was in favor of Dongbao's decision with all his hands.

Under Takahashi Hiroshi's Amway, Miike Takashi finally recognized Sakamoto Kiyoshi's acting skills.

So far, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has completely won this role.

. . .

The "Hot-Blooded High School" crew meeting lasted for three hours before it ended.

After the end, Sakamoto Kiyoshi proposed that everyone go to a barbecue restaurant for a meal on the grounds of cultivating their relationship in advance.

In this "Hot-Blooded High School", speaking of it, except for Kenichi Endo, Goro Kishitani, etc., they are all young people of similar age.

Except Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the "child" in 1990. . .

However, although Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the youngest among the crowd, he is the leading actor appointed by Toho, and he is also the first actor in Heisei to star in a box office of over [-] billion. Coupled with his status in the music world, he has naturally become The focus of the crowd.

Therefore, everyone readily agreed to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's suggestion.

Even Kuroki Meisa, the only girl, followed the large army together.

After the barbecue party, Sakamoto Kiyoshi naturally got the contact information of Yamada Takayuki, Kuroki Meisa, Kiritani Kenta and others.

After sending off Yamada Takayuki and others, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was waiting for Uncle Ishida on the side of the road, while flipping through the address book in his mobile phone, his thoughts slowly began to drift into the distance.

"Before I knew it, there were so many artists I knew?!"

Names that he had heard or hadn't heard in his previous life are now quietly staying in his phone's address book.

And some of them are unknown, some are familiar, and some have even become an indispensable part of his life. . .

The names of Masaharu Fukuyama, Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa, Tomohisa Yamashita, and Yuriko Yoshitaka floated through his mind. . .

It made him a little dazed.

"Hmm... Has it been three years since you entered this circle?"

"Time flies..."

Suddenly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was a little emotional, raised his head.

The winter sun seemed a bit dazzling, making him involuntarily stretch out his hand to cover the sunlight.

"However, why do I always feel as if yesterday, I was still sitting on the roof of my hometown, drinking beer..."

"Before I knew it, it had been 13 years since I was reborn..."
