Tokyo Literature and Art Times

The movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai (Continued)" is, after all, a British-based movie, with European and American actors as the main characters, which is acceptable.

But "Two Two Six" is a local Japanese movie, and his role is still very small.

On the one hand, it shows that Nakadai Tatsuya's era may have passed, and he is getting old.

On the other hand, that "[-]" is a Shochiku movie.

Perhaps, Shochiku did not give enough respect to this veteran star.

Regardless of the reason, Shimadani saw an opportunity!

Moreover, Toho had been very happy to cooperate with Tatsuya Nakadai in the past. The movie was very successful, with great awards and box office.

And more!

"Mr. Nakadai, Director Iwata's "Infernal Affairs (Continued)" has been praised by Mr. Kurosawa."

Yes, that's what Shimadani told Nakadai Tatsuya.

And after moving out of Akira Kurosawa, it really had an effect.

Nakadai Tatsuya immediately agreed.

Hehe... Iwata-san, you can't imagine, even Kurosawa-sensei is being used by me!

Don't mention the joy in Shimadani's heart.

If Akira Kurosawa knew about this situation, how would he feel?

In any case, "Infernal Affairs (Continued)" has the addition of Nakadai Tatsuya, as well as Tamura Masakazu and Nishida Toshiyuki. From Shimadani's point of view, this completely breaks the joint attack of Johnny and Zhou Fang.

Iwata-san, you have to make this movie well.

……

Summer in Tokyo is hot even at night.

Nakadai Tatsuya sat at home, looking up at the moon, wondering what he was thinking for a while.

Since "Seven Samurai", he has made his debut for more than 30 years, and seeing that he is approaching his sixtieth birthday.

It should be said that this life has been very exciting.

If you retire now, you will definitely get a good reputation.

No one will question his career as an actor. He has worked with many big-name directors in his life, and he has a very good understanding with the director of Akira Kurosawa.

However, I still really want to act.

The original plan was to retire after a few guest appearances, or at least take a few years off.

but……

I can't let go of the movie so much.

Is it because the previous few movies have not been successful?

I couldn't help but look at the script on the desk again.

Takeshi Iwata, who is this young man?

How did he write such an interesting story?

Nakadai Tatsuya couldn't bear to open the script again...

Officer Takai.

This is the role Takeshi Iwata hoped he could play. Although the script was handed over to him for a short time, he has already finished reading it.

After all, this is not the protagonist, and the content of the script is not too much.

However, this Takai police officer is quite interesting.

Looking at the character of Takai from the script, it seems to be the planner of the whole story.

Like the police officer Watjiro in "Infernal Affairs" before, Takai also sent an undercover agent, oh no, it should be Takai who sent an undercover agent first, and this undercover agent was very successful.

Nagato Le unexpectedly became the team leader. Although he is not the team leader of the Qingshan group, he is already a vassal.

And Takai used Nagato Raku as a pawn to manipulate behind the scenes. He wanted to achieve the goal of dismantling the Aoyama Group, but unfortunately in the end...

It should be said that just this idea is very bold!

Nakadai Tatsuya is also a person who has acted in many film and television dramas, and he has never heard such a story.

However, according to the plot of the previous "Infernal Affairs", the plot of this sequel is very reasonable.

This Takeshi Iwata is really amazing!

In fact, Nakadai Tatsuya is a person who likes acting very much, and he will do some research on his characters.

Moreover, there will be a lot of homework to do.

It's as if he bought the videotape of "Infernal Affairs" specially and came back to watch it.

Watjiro is Chiba Shinichi, the moment he died, it was really shocking.

Tatsuya Nakadai watched this scene repeatedly. Kazuma Kiryu, played by Takeshi Iwata, stepped out of the gate to meet Hikari, but Watjiro died in front of him the next moment.

Hope was given, and it was destroyed in an instant.

Splashy!

How will Takeshi Iwata shoot this "Infernal Affairs (Continued)"?

Nakadai Tatsuya had an idea, so even in the middle of the night he called Shimadani.

……

The conditions have been met, and it can be turned on according to Takeshi Iwata's style.

That's how he is.

But this shoot was very different, especially the first scene that Takeshi Iwata planned to shoot.

According to the script, the first scene should be the scene where the leader of the Aoyama group was hit by a car. However, that scene required more preparations, so Takeshi Iwata chose something else.

Shopping street, this is a business model with Japanese characteristics. It is not the same as an ordinary market. The businesses here are basically family-based, and generally the people living above do business below.

The origin of the shopping street is also very interesting. In ancient times, samurai gathered many merchants on one street to increase popularity and form a strong commercial atmosphere.

So, who were those warriors?

In the past, the key objects of Yakuza's collection of protection fees were the merchants in these commercial streets.

Today, a person appeared on the commercial street.

The man was dressed in a simple casual outfit, well-groomed, with a smile on his face, and he greeted everyone with a kind smile.

Soon, he came to a butcher shop.

"Boss, how's the beef today?"

"It's a good product today, it's Hida beef."

"Siguoyi."

"How about it? Have some?"

"Okay, help me cut some."

"Please wait."

This is a simple process of selling beef, which happens every day in almost all commercial streets in Japan.

but!

Now there is a camera here, following the laid track, and has been following the man who sells meat.

Nakadai Tatsuya, who was wearing sunglasses, saw this scene.

I asked Shimaya before and learned about Takeshi Iwata's filming plan, so he came here today to see how this newcomer director is filming.

And just this scene...

Nakadai Tatsuya couldn't understand it, but he was shocked!

Isn't that Masakazu Tamura?

According to the situation in the script, Tamura Masakazu is Nagato Raku, Takai's undercover agent, and also the leader of the Yakuza team.

However, in the case of buying meat just now, is that Yakuza?

Who has seen such a kind Yakuza?

For a moment, Nakadai Tatsuya seemed to think of something.

I have heard before that Hiroshi Yamamoto of the Yamamoto Group will carry out reforms, and Yakuza will become milder and more polite.

Is this what it is? !

Nakadai Tatsuya has not read all the scripts of Nagato Raku, but now, he somehow feels that this movie will be very interesting.

But at this time, a woman appeared.

Hitomi Kuroki, even if this woman is wearing a housewife's clothes, she is still charming.

"Husband, why did you buy such expensive beef again?"

"Ha, you know me, I'm always greedy, next time I will definitely..."

"Oh, what are you talking about, how about going back to make a sukiyaki pot?"

"Okay, just listen to my wife."

The two of them are completely ordinary couples, and they sprinkled dog food in broad daylight.

But Nakadai Tatsuya was dumbfounded again.

Because he knows who Kuroki Hitomi is playing, Nagato Raku's wife Mary, this woman will later...

At this moment, Nakadai Tatsuya finally understood.

Now these two people are no different from ordinary Japanese couples. It is hard to imagine that they are the Yakuza team leader and the team leader's wife.

But it is such an ordinary person, they will become like that later!

This is not a simple gangster film at all!

Over there, Takeshi Iwata had already shouted OK, and the crew was preparing to shoot the next scene, Tatsuya Nakadai couldn't help but walked over.

"Director Iwata."

"Oh, Teacher Nakadai?"

Takeshi Iwata has been filming, he didn't expect Nakadai Tatsuya to appear like this.

And even more unexpected is...

"Spalasi! It's an honor to be in this movie!"

Nakadai Tatsuya held out his hand.

Although Takeshi Iwata was a little confused, he still held it up...

Chapter 119 This movie will also be engraved with the mark of the times!

With the joining of Tatsuya Nakadai, Takeshi Iwata feels even more powerful.

The scene of Nagato Raku in the commercial street was quickly finished, after all, this scene is not difficult at all.

It is the daily grocery shopping life of ordinary people in Tokyo.

Ever since, everyone simply found a coffee shop in the commercial street, drinking and chatting.

As for filming, as a supervisor, it is very embarrassing to tell everyone about the play.

"The role of Nagato Raku really surprised me. Supervisor Iwata, as far as I am concerned, it seems that there has never been such a role before."

After all, Nakadai Tatsuya has the highest seniority and position, and he appeared a little abruptly this time, so it is only natural that he will speak his own thoughts first.

"Yeah." Takeshi Iwata nodded with a smile. "It should be said that Japanese gangster movies have 'good guy Yakuza' in history, but there really hasn't been one like Nagato Raku."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quite surprised.

And Takeshi Iwata then asked back: "Doesn't such a person exist?"
