Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 693 As long as the hoe swings well

From Haneda Airport in Tokyo to Ryoma Airport in Kochi, it only took one hour and twenty minutes.

"Ah! The air here is so good!"

Walking out of the airport, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, wearing sunglasses, stretched out his hands, embracing Kochi's aura with all his heart.

Kochi Prefecture is located in the southern part of Shikoku Island, south of Honshu Island, Japan. Its area accounts for half of Shikoku Island, ranking 17th in Japan. It is separated from the Seto Inland Sea by steep mountains in the west, and has a long coastline facing the Pacific Ocean in the east. The climate is warm and humid.

In addition, the surrounding area is mostly mountainous, and the feeling of nature is unmatched by an international metropolis like Tokyo.

The blowing wind is like a mother's caress, so comfortable.

"Supervisor, the car is waiting for us..."

"Well, let's go then!"

Reminded by Date Nagamune, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also boarded the luxury bus that had been prepared.

The engine started and drove towards the city. . .

On the bus, except for Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Date Nagamune, all of them were members of the crew of the film crew, and the actors were not seen.

That's what makes this movie different.

With the experience of filming "Those Years", the film preparations for "I Heard Kirishima Is Retiring" proceeded very quickly.

As early as the end of February, it had been completed in sevens and eighties.

Including the cast, crew, high school where the film was shot, and more. . .

As for the youth group drama "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire", the main stage is still concentrated on the campus.

The plot of the story also revolves around the changes in the interpersonal relationships of the major clubs in the school after "Tongjima" retired.

The club activities in the film must occupy a large number of clips.

Therefore, in order to let the actors get familiar with their respective club activities and better substitute themselves into the roles, Kiyoshi Sakamoto let the actors take a flight half a month in advance and came to a high school in Kochi Prefecture for intensive special training , and strictly follow the set division activities in the photos.

This is also the reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the film supervisor, did not work with the actors.

Sitting on the bus, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and asked Date Changzong next to him: "By the way, is Moyu's new residence settled?"

"I heard from Kitahara-san that she and her mother have rented an apartment near the company. The two of them just moved a while ago." Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's question, Date Changzong quickly replied.

"That's good..."

Speaking of the prototype of the movie "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire", it is also very well-known.

In 2009, Ryo Asai, a 22-year-old boy who was still studying at Waseda University in Japan, published his debut youth novel "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire", and won the 22nd Novel Subaru Newcomer Award in one fell swoop, becoming the first winner of this award born in the Heisei era .

The novel focuses on a rural high school far away from the metropolis. Taking the opportunity of the star student Tongdao's retreat, a youth group drama of five students at the same level who have different relationships with him around Tongdao begins.

By virtue of the author's unique and novel narrative techniques, as well as the accurate description of the pyramidal social structure common in high school campuses, it has aroused widespread heated discussions and sympathy among peers.

What Kiyoshi Sakamoto is about to do is to put this novel on the big screen.

Why did you choose this novel for the film adaptation?
That's because the film in the previous life won the Japan Film Academy Award and the best film at the Yokohama Film Festival. It also allowed the Japanese director Daihachi Yoshida, who challenged the story of youth for the first time, to win several awards for the best director.

In addition, this is a youth group drama, which is very suitable for the young future stars of SMA to practice their acting skills.

Therefore, except for a few important roles, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not make changes, and some insignificant supporting roles, he handed over to the young people of SMA to play.

It's like Mizuki Yamamoto's "school beauty", who was directly given to Mai Shiraishi by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

With the appearance of "Nogizaka's face", this role is very stable!

As for Yoshioka Riho, Komatsu Nana, etc., they have replaced the unknown people in the original movie and became members of the movie.

Originally, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also wanted to replace the role of Matsuoka Mayu with one of SMA's own.

However, considering the acting needs of this role and the fact that Matsuoka's sister played very well, it made him a little difficult to handle.

What's more, the Hirata office where Matsuoka Moyu works has had a bad relationship with SMA because of Suda Masaki's incident, and he is unwilling to help others cultivate artists.

In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came up with a whim and directly proposed the idea of ​​turning Matsuoka Moyu into one of his own!
Swing the little hoe!

Since digging Yui Aragaki over, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's attitude towards poaching is not as indifferent as before, but a fire in his heart has ignited.

Originally, he felt that poaching was a way for SMA, which has a large number of future stars, to disdain to do it.

However, when he figured out the importance of the idiom "the weak eat the strong" in the entertainment industry, he quickly learned the tricks of poaching small firms and enriching the SMA talent pool!

Anyway, Sony has a lot of money, and its connections and resources are top-notch in the industry. No matter how many young people are, they can afford it!

Of course, forcible poaching is not acceptable, even if it is the domineering Burning Department, it would not dare to forcibly poach the leading artists under their banner.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi is interested in artists with potential for future development.

In this way, the difficulty is much easier than forcibly poaching leading artists, and the price paid is not too high.

Matsuoka Mayu is such an existence.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately sent someone to contact Hirata's office and said directly, "I have taken a fancy to your Matsuoka Mayu, please make an offer!"

Faced with such a domineering SMA, Hirata Office expressed aggrieved.

Although very reluctant, but because the price of SMA is not too high, Hirata Office is very excited.

Coupled with Matsuoka Moyu's status, Hirata Office is just a new generation with great potential.

Therefore, through a private transaction, SMA successfully poached the "commercial" Matsuoka Moyu from Hirata Office!
It also allowed Kiyoshi Sakamoto to take a big step forward in his wish to replace the actors of "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire" one by one into his own family.

If it weren't for Higashiide Masada's age, Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't like him very much, Sakamoto Kiyoshi might also extend his evil hand to him.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a firm Lolicon. . . (Sakamoto Kiyoshi: Whatever you say is what you say, anyway, you are the author.)
Sitting on the bus, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also reminiscing about this poaching operation.

He is very satisfied with the efficiency of his subordinates.

As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug!
Such a good thing needs to be done more. . .
