Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Unlike industry professionals like Ayumi Adachi and Takayuki Narita who are eager to analyze and compare frame by frame.

Hideki Nishitani, who came to the Shinjuku Cinema with his girlfriend to watch the movie, is a pure audience perspective.

"Hideki, aren't SNS and community network platforms saying that the adaptation of this movie is not optimistic? And you yourself said that it might be a failure, so why do we have to come to see it?"

And Hideki Nishitani's answer is also very simple.

"Because I like it."

Yes.

Because I like it.

Unlike the saying that "what you love is your life" which seems to make sense at first, but has no nutrition at all when you look into it.

Hideki Nishitani likes the work "Kengouden" very much.

The reason is very simple.

This work has been with him since he was old enough to understand.

Whether it is a Blu-ray disc worth 6,000 yen, or each volume of the single volume and the setting collection released, he has collected them.

"Kengouden" has been serialized for 21 years.

Twenty-one years of love until now.

For him, "Kengouden" has long been more than just an ordinary comic book.

What he loves is no longer the characters in it, but the memories of his childhood.

There is nothing wrong with the saying that a man is a boy until he dies.

At least this is the case for Hideki Nishitani, who has just finished college and entered the working society this year.

Various difficult-to-handle requests from superiors in the workplace.

Various troubles caused by rent when returning home.

Various pressures from parents.

This has also made him live a life of salary and desire.

But people can't always hold back their emotions.

And Hideki Nishitani's way of releasing emotions is very simple.

Take out the "Kengouden" disc at home and watch it.

Review the vague memories of childhood with friends "you are Kenichi Aoki" and "I am Ichiro Kitaoka" without worries, as if there are no worries at all.

And then sigh that he has become a member of society.

The days are finally coming together.

So no matter whether the adaptation of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is good or bad.

Nishitani Hideki will come to watch it.

For no other reason.

He wants to review his childhood yearning and longing for this kind of fearless and passionate feeling of youth, and also wants to activate his heart that has long been dead in the busy society.

And in fact

At this moment, his back is straight and his eyes are not blinking.

The face that seemed to be forced to cheer up is now full of energy.

The reason is simple - the performance of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is surprisingly excellent!

What's going on? ! This child actor!

He clenched his fists.

Snowflakes swayed and fell from the sky.

The earth was gradually covered by snow.

Chisho Kiyoyoshi died in the arms of Aoki Kenichi.

Yukishiro Kaoru roared.

"Kiyoshi died because of you! He died because you were careless."

"Not a single tear! You didn't even want to shed a tear for him!"

Kenichi Aoki, played by a sub-actor named Kitasumi Minoru, said nothing in the face of Yukishiro Kaoru's accusations.

He was silent.

His slightly trembling mouth.

His eyes

Blood slid from his forehead to his eyelids.

Like a tear mark.

It was as if his heart was bleeding.

Kiyoshi Chisei's death in order to save Kenichi Aoki has always been a great regret for many fans of "Kengouden".

Even after entering society, Hideki Nishitani felt sorry for Kiyoshi Chisei and his throat was sore.

Before watching the movie, he was also worried whether this sub-actor named Kitasumi Minoru could perfectly restore the essence of this plot.

You know, the original work didn't have a single line here.

It was just relying on the excellent painting of the characters and scenes to perfectly express the sad atmosphere.

And now it seems -

This is no longer a question of restoration or not.

It is as if this classic comic scene is fully expressed in a three-dimensional form.

The person in the movie is either Kitasumi or Kenichi Aoki himself!

Especially the eyes that the other person raised.

Nishitani Hideki has never believed in the term "eye play" in movies.

What facial features match the eyes. These are just the audience's arbitrary deification of the actors' acting skills.

Where is the eye play in reality? It is impossible to be as powerful as they praise.

But in the movie, the moment Kenichi Aoki raised his head while hugging Sensei Kiyoyoshi.

Nishitani Hideki realized that he was wrong.

The corners of his eyes trembled slightly.

While raising his head, he pursed his trembling lips tightly.

His eyelids first drooped, then raised again, and then drooped again, and his eyes flickered slightly under such movements.

There was no line, but it seemed to say a thousand words.

What's going on? This child actor? What's going on!

Goosebumps all over!

Nishitani Hideki felt sad for the passing of Chiyo Kiyoshi in the movie.

But at the same time, he was a little excited.

He thought of the feeling when he first saw Chiyo Kiyoshi passing away when he was young that summer many years ago.

That was the purest feeling of enjoying the favorite work without the pressure from salary, workplace, and relatives.

After seeing this.

Nishitani Hideki stopped thinking about unnecessary things.

What character, will you restore the original work, will you be disappointed next time?

He didn't think about these things anymore.

He was just purely enjoying the movie.

He follows Aoki Kenichi in the movie to find his enemy Kitaoka Ichiro.

Watching him on the screen, he didn't give in when facing Ichiro Kitaoka. He flipped his wrist and threw out the long knife naturally.

Say the classic line "I'll kill you, come here."

The bright moon hangs.

Standing under the ancient city of Ping'an.

Swordsmen confronting each other.

The light of the knife was colder than the cold moonlight.

The blood is darker than at night.

Nishitani Hideki was a little nervous when he saw this, and unconsciously wanted to hold on to his armrest.

What he didn't expect was the result.

The girlfriend who initially asked, ‘Then why do we come over to watch this movie?’ had already hugged his arm tightly without realizing it.

Judging from the serious and nervous look on her face as she stared at Bai Mu, she shrank her head.

She was also completely immersed in the plot.

Nishitani Hideki wanted to laugh a little at this time.

You must know that your girlfriend has never been interested in "Swordsman Den".

But even she was completely immersed in it

Nishitani Hideki once again focused his attention on movies.

Looking at the movie, Kitumi Minoru’s majestic profile shows a bit of tawny skin after makeup.

Recall the beginning.

When he and his friends were playing the role-playing game "Swordsman Den" with each other.

Presumably at that time.

They are also holding small wooden sticks that can be seen everywhere, and want to use such expressions to fight against 'strong enemies'.

“What a great performance”

He sighed slightly.

That is to say, random photography is not allowed in the movie theater.

Otherwise, he really wanted to take this photo of Kitumi Minoru and use it as a mobile phone or computer wallpaper.

It's really a great performance.

Compared to Nishitani Hideki's idea.

Narita Takayuki was already sweating profusely at this time.

As the leading actor in the first three parts of "Swordsman Den".

Of course he knows how good Kitumi Minoru's acting skills are.

but

What made him sweat the most was actually not Kitumi Minoru's acting skills.

It's about Kitumi Minoru's completeness of action guidance.

Since he was the star of the first three "Kenhao-den" films, Narita Takayuki is quite familiar with Tanigaki Shiken, the action director of "Kenhao-den".

Born in the Hong Kong film and television industry, he has his own understanding of action guidance.

Therefore, the actions he designed can be said to be quite difficult even if you look at the entire industry.

The first three parts of "Swordsman Den" were originally released.

Takayuki Narita shot almost every film for seven months.

There is no other reason.

It’s because Shiken Tanigaki’s action design is so difficult.

It's simply impossible to achieve that kind of beautiful and simple effect in a movie without spending a lot of time rehearsing.

Takayuki Narita spends a lot of time every time he practices.

There are still many action parts in the middle that are really difficult to complete, so I used Wia to make up for it.

But even so, the final effect can be said to be quite good.

He even appeared on several interview variety shows because of this, mainly talking about the action practice process during the filming of "Swordsman Den".

What happened to Kitazumi?

When I watched Kitumi effortlessly perform backflips, frontflips, body crouching, and running on slippery roofs on the screen.

Narita Takayuki was really silent.

The most exaggerated thing is that Kitami Minoru still holds a prop knife in his hand!

Anyone who has ever experienced a front flip or a back flip should know this.

The difficulty of doing a front and back somersault with something in your hand and without something in your hand are two completely different things.

But Kitazumi not only did it.

And it was well done.

certainly.

The above are all within the scope of understanding.

In Takayuki Narita's view.

The most exaggerated scene is Beicheng running on the wall.

He had already filmed it during the first part of "Swordsman Den" - Shiken Tanigaki seemed to like this action.

It's just that he could only run about two meters on the sloping wall - at that time, Shiken Tanigaki even set aside a distance for him to run.

What happened to Kitazumi?

There is a run-up, but in his opinion, the distance of the run-up is the same as no run-up.

It felt like Kitazumi stepped on the spot suddenly.

The whole person seemed to be flying.

He rushed forward a full five or six meters, and at the same time, he did not forget to draw his sword accurately to 'kill' the enemy while flipping in the air, and then fell from the wall.

The difficulty of this action is too exaggerated, right?

Even though Kitumi Minoru is a subservient, his height and weight allow him to perform such operations.

But the explosive power is really amazing.

And look at it from Narita Takayuki’s perspective.

Kitami Minoru did not use any wires, green screen cutouts or stand-ins when filming.

It was completely shot on location.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous shoot.

However, Kita Chengmi has finished everything.

If it weren't for Kitazumi Minoru's information, the occupation of Ziyi would be listed.

Narita Takayuki really wonders if he is a swordsman who has traveled through time.

And this is too daring to act, right?

Is Kitaki Minoru not afraid of death? Not afraid of accidents at all?

This was not the only thing that made Takayuki Narita find it difficult to accept.

If it was just a big risk.

Then he could still think of a way to surpass Kita Sumire.

But the opponent was more than just a big risk.

The opponent's movements in front of the camera can be said to be extremely fierce and ruthless.

It was in stark contrast to his simple and beautiful movements after careful practice.

If he was "cool and beautiful".

Then Kita Sumire was pure "violence".

The kind of movements that would often hit the opponent's throat, behead, clamp the opponent's head with legs, and ram the opponent's head against the tip of the stone.

It really added a cruel and bloody feeling to the whole movie.

The key is that this is particularly in line with the tone of the movie "Kengaoden".

After all, it is about the fight between swordsmen.

Then it is naturally better to use all methods.

On the contrary, his previous performance style in the first three parts of "Kengaoden" was somewhat overshadowed.

Narita Takayuki scratched his hair, sighed, and inexplicably convinced in his heart.

This is really not because he is not striving for success.

This child actor is a freak.

He is just a child, but the role of the "swordsman" he plays is very photogenic.

His movements are also perfect.

Not to mention his acting skills.

The audience in the theater was watching intently, which is enough to explain everything.

It seems that I have really hit a wall this time.

Fortunately, the young version of Kenichi Aoki only appears in the "Kengouden" arc.

If there is still a young Kenichi Aoki in the later plots.

Narita Takayuki thinks that Kita Sumire may really be able to completely tie the role of Kenichi Aoki to him.

However, the box office results of "Kengouden" have not yet come out.

Narita Takayuki can still look forward to it a little.

After all, among the first three "Kengouden" films he starred in, the best one "Kengouden: Heart Sword Arc" had a box office of 3.6 billion yen, which is known as the ceiling of comic-adapted movies.

Although "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is indeed very good, but what if?

What if it is an upset and cannot surpass this record?

People always have to keep a thought in mind, so that there is enough hope.

He gave up the resistance there.

At the same time, on the other side——

"Umeki.-san."

With a dull expression on her face, Ayumi Adachi turned her head stiffly.

"Can I win?"

"Huh?"

At this time, Ryuhei Umeki had just recovered from the shock brought to him by Kitasumi.

Hearing the voice of his own son-in-law.

He subconsciously wanted to say "No problem, you can do it."

But he couldn't help but look at Kitasumi on the white screen again.

This.

Is it really "No problem?"

I originally thought that Kenichi Aoki's role was completely unsuitable for the role of a son-in-law.

But Kitasumi is no longer a matter of adaptability, right?

He himself is Kenichi Aoki.

Think carefully about Ayumi Adachi's performance in "The Daughter of the Tokawa Samurai".

Ryuhei Umeki fell into silence.

Compared to this, it's really hard to say.

After all, as a manager, he can't possibly undermine the self-confidence of his own son, right?

The cold and flu are gone today! There's the next chapter!
