Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 448 The sequel is also wonderful

Faced with the coming financial crisis, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was noncommittal.

He has been prepared for a long time, at this time, he should be moving a stool, sitting in Osaka, Japan, eating melon seeds, smiling at the wind and clouds.

However, saying so.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is still filming "Hot Blood High School 2", has no time to check his bank account. In this financial crisis, the number keeps skyrocketing. . .

Just as the world began to be shrouded in economic crisis, unemployment, stock market crash, bankruptcy, jumping off buildings and other bad situations were repeated, at the same time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's role in "Hot Blood High School 2" also reached its climax. .

. . .

The crew of "Hot Blood" in Osaka didn't seem to be affected too much by the financial crisis.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Takayuki Yamada and others still went to the barbecue restaurant for dinner after filming the scenes of the day.

The topics among the actors did not mention this storm that spread across the world at all.

After all, not many of them can read professional financial newspapers such as "Financial News" and "Asahi Shimbun", and some of them even have only reached high school. . .

For the crisis that broke out in the United States not long ago, it is naturally not so obvious.

However, the keen Kiyoshi Sakamoto still noticed a trace of uneasiness from the expressions of the staff on the set.

Although with Dongbao's strength, they don't have to worry at all about things like unemployment and the suspension of filming.

However, the situation Japan is facing today still makes the studio staff at the bottom of the entertainment industry feel uneasy.

In today's context where various large companies are laying off employees and going bankrupt, no one can tell whether they will be the next one to lose their jobs. . .

However, in such an atmosphere of unstable people and turbulent undercurrents, "Hot Blood High School 2" ushered in the first and most shocking scene.

"Takiya Genji" is one against a hundred!

. . .

In fact, many series of movies sometimes fall into a strange circle.That is, the previous work is amazing, and the sequel is mediocre.

Because the first film was shot so well, the audience had very high expectations for the sequel.

As a result, both the director and the screenwriter have to come up with something novel, or bright spots, in order to be able to withstand the expectations from the audience.

Once the sequel is not well filmed, or a little mediocre, it is equivalent to giving the audience who are full of expectations a blow to the head.

Such a situation is equivalent to: I have taken off my pants, can you show me this? !
The contrast will make the audience feel extremely disgusted with the sequel.

Therefore, a series of movies, for every film supervisor, is both a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

On the one hand, directing a series of films has demonstrated my directing ability and won the affirmation and trust of the film company, and the work is also continuous;
On the other hand, if the directed sequel can't surpass the previous one, it will inevitably make your directing ability questioned, and even be considered "exhausted".

However, even though this is a stressful position, many film supervisors are rushing to it.

Being able to win the favor of Japan's No. [-] film company Toho, Miike Takashi's strength should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, the two parts of "Hot Blood High School" did not fall into this vicious circle of "the previous work is amazing, and the sequel is mediocre".

Among them, a large part of the credit is also due to the supervisor, Takashi Miike.

As the "King of CUT Films", Takashi Miike has a wealth of experience in violent and bloody films.

From the many films he directed such as "Sengoku Gokudoshi", "Killer One", "Golden Horror Theatre: Niutou", it can be seen that his control of violent aesthetics is second to none in Japan.

This can be seen from the fact that "Hot-Blooded High School" has been released and has caused heated discussions.

And if the sequel is to surpass the previous one, Takashi Miike and the screenwriter Shogo Muto both believe that if the scene cannot be made more grand and punchy to the flesh, it is impossible to satisfy the audience.

Especially at the end of the first part, the mystery and foreshadowing are all to give the audience reason to believe that the sequel is bound to be a big fight!
Therefore, the story of "Hot Blood High School 2" has become a duel between two major universities!
Fights are always shocking when there are many people, and can only arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.

Miike Takashi has long been familiar with this routine. . .

Therefore, in the sequel, he focused on describing the most exciting elements of the movie.

One-on-one, group fights, one-on-one, all are complete!
Among them, in addition to the final battle of "Suzuran VS Fengxian", "Takiya Genji" played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the scene where one person picks the entire Fengxian Academy is the most shocking.

9 month 21 number.

On this day, after nearly three weeks of running-in with the entire crew, Takashi Miike finally started filming this scene.

In the makeshift lounge, Takashi Miike was explaining to Kiyoshi Sakamoto the things to pay attention to in the next shot.

"Genji, keep it up until now. You have a stern and domineering expression. You are the leader of the GPS Legion and the man who shoulders the mission of Suzuran. Even in the face of Fengxian's team of nearly 100 people, you can't show any fear. Or the emotion of timidity, you know?"

"Don't worry, supervisor." Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the side and letting the makeup artist touch up his makeup, winked mischievously at Takashi Miike, "Isn't it just pretending to be aggressive? I've been shooting for so long. deep into my bones..."

"I feel that in the future, I can pretend to be aggressive anytime, anywhere!"

This sentence made Yamada Takayuki, Kuroki Meisa and others who came to observe laugh happily.

"This thick-skinned guy..."

Miike Takashi also smiled, took the script and continued, "I won't talk about the lines, I know your kid's memory, this amount of lines is simply a piece of cake."

"Hee hee..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was applying makeup and couldn't move his head casually, also showed the corners of his mouth upturned.

"..."

"Also, pay attention to the strength of your hand, don't injure the opponent actor again..." Takashi Miike, who was rambling on, was still not at ease, and added this sentence at the end.

"Don't worry! It's the second part, I'm more sensible..."

After listening to the supervisor's nagging, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who finally finished his makeup, stood up from the chair with his signature Mohawk back.

Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto who just stood there, exuding a rebellious and domineering aura, Takashi Miike had only one thought in his mind, and that was.

"Well, it is indeed the most perfect Takiya Genji in my mind!"
