1007, the peak of the film industry built an archway!
.......
On the third day of the new year, the cold air finally took a big hit.
The freezing rain with an icy atmosphere started at night and continued into the morning, filling the entire Tokyo with a biting cold wind~
Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of in the Yamasakura Garden. From the moment I wake up, the air conditioner is turned on fully, and there are two worlds separated by a glass partition door.
Naoki Nagayama and Taro Taro stood together in front of the partition door, drinking coffee and looking at the gloomy sky outside...
"Why isn't it snowing? It's already freezing rain, why can't it turn into snow?" Nagayama Naoki sighed, feeling that the god in charge of the weather was a little lazy~
"What nonsense are you talking about~"
Akina came over and took them back to the dining table. Naoki Nagayama was supposed to be cooking today, but Akina couldn't restrain her desire to have the first hot meal in the new year and made breakfast enthusiastically.
"Eat quickly!"
"Because if it snows, it brings a romantic and happy atmosphere...some people will shout slogans like 'It's snowing'..." Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "If it's freezing rain,
, the most I can say is 'It's so cold'...."
"Haha~ It's really 'cold to death'~"
Akina brought a simple Western breakfast, and now Nagayama Naoki no longer lets Akina cook the troublesome Japanese and Chinese food.
"Speaking of which, today is the release date of Naoki-san's new movie, right?"
"Um....."
"Will it affect it?"
"The difference is not big..." Naoki Nagayama is very confident in "The Legend of Hayato". Unless the freezing rain continues for a week, the audience will definitely find a chance to watch it!
"By the way, Akina, I have to go to the company today...I won't be back until evening~"
"Hey, I get it~" Akina pretended to hold her face in her hands while watching her husband eat, and said in an obedient tone, "Akina-chan will wait at home for Naoki-san to come back~"
"..."
Nagayama Naoki flicked his finger on Akina's forehead, feeling that it was really troublesome to have such a weird partner... However, the future won't be boring, right~
...
The Spring Festival holiday is not over yet, and there are not many staff members in the Shuyou Building, except for the people in the publishing class.
Since "The Legend of Hayato" is released today, the people in the distribution department are all gearing up in the company, ready to contact the person in charge of each cinema at any time...
They also need to collect statistics on the schedule of films released on the first day, attendance rates, and other data, and even understand the audience's feelings after watching the show, etc.
After that, we need to contact the media based on the feedback, change the focus of publicity, and let them continue to work harder~
The release of a movie can be regarded as an exam, and the release is when the answer sheet is handed in.
"Sugiyama-san~" Nagayama Naoki found the coordinator, "Don't be so nervous~"
"Naoki-san...."
Sugiyama Chihiko looked at his president with pitiful eyes. How could he not be nervous? Although he was almost ready in other aspects, the weather was bad today.
And on the other hand, Naoki Nagayama refused to participate in the road show, which is very important for movie promotion!
Such an uncooperative director would have been fired by other film companies, such as Kadokawa Pictures where he worked before!
In other words, Shuyu Pictures was originally run by Naoki Nagayama...
"Sugiyama-san, don't worry too much, our publicity has been in place..." Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder and comforted his subordinates, "Trailers, posters, media newspapers, and movie lovers
Groups...the free movie tickets we gave out also attracted the interest of many people..."
Free movie tickets were given to many large companies and famous social groups as a benefit at the end of the year... This is a specially planned promotion operation, through which it can reach more groups.
After all, if all my colleagues and friends have watched it, then I must also watch it, otherwise others will be talking about "Hyatoden" during the New Year chat, but I can't get in the middle of the conversation...
In a cultural atmosphere like Neon where people are extremely worried about not fitting in, there is a lot of pressure.
"Hi, actually I know~"
Sugiyama Tomohiko nodded, but he still didn't relax in his heart... Naoki Nagayama could relax because he is the biggest person... But for others, the release of the movie is related to their salary!
"The Legend of Hayato" is finally released amidst everyone's expectations!
Cinemas in Tokyo were packed with audiences who came to watch the first show, and even the freezing rain outside could not dampen their enthusiasm.
“Although it’s raining, I can’t miss what I’ve planned!”
"Yes, I bought the tickets in advance...I made an appointment with my friends to watch it during the holidays!"
"It's definitely not raining in the cinema anyway..."
Similar words came out from the mouths of the audience who came to collect tickets. In short, at the beginning of this year, what people are most looking forward to is "The Legend of Hayato", which has been promoted since the end of the year.
The actor Nagayama Kaede is not well-known among the public, but he is famous among teenagers... The "Hundred Beasts Serizawa Tamao" played by many teenagers and delinquents is regarded as an idol, and his goal of dominating the academy even became a
The slogan of students whose hormones have nowhere to go...
Although parents and teachers united to suppress it in the end, the fire in my heart never went out!
The other protagonist, Miura Tomokazu, can be said to be the previous version of Naoki Nagayama. He is a national niche, a handsome boy, and has appeared in many popular TV series and movies. He also married the much-anticipated Momoe Yamaguchi...
.. In the eyes of many men, he is the hatred of seizing his wife, and at the same time, in the eyes of many women, he is the national husband...
His popularity among the public has fallen off a bit because of his wife, but this face is familiar to the public... He also has a lot of potential as a personal fan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally, the director Naoki Nagayama did a lot of big things last year, including winning the Palme d'Or, hosting the Tokyo Film Festival, and then secretly married a top female idol.
marriage......
Also, isn’t it said that this movie is the origin of Naoki Nagayama’s family?
Then you shouldn’t criticize it!
There are also some viewers who simply have nothing to do during the holiday and it rains again... They just come to watch the movie that everyone has been talking about for a long time... After the holiday is over, they can chat with friends and colleagues~
For various reasons, audiences who braved the rain to watch "The Legend of Hayato" packed the lobby of the cinema... and even other theaters were even opened to show "The Legend of Hayato" at one point.
Cinemas these days are still very independent~
...
The movie officially started with the slogan "Baga Aibo"...
The style of the early Showa period gives people a feeling of familiarity but not familiarity. This is because society is developing too fast and everything is changing rapidly...but it makes people surprisingly nostalgic.
When many people were children, they saw coal-burning trains and migrant workers wearing old kimonos who looked like ronin...
People looked at Hayato Nagayama who came to Tokyo from the countryside to seek life in Tokyo on the screen, with the unique vigor and vitality of young people, and a bold temperament that was unstinting... These were the first batch of people to enter the city in that era.
Characteristics of people who live in urban areas.
The audience saw Hayato Nagayama chasing rival gangs and police on the streets like a runaway hare, seeing him subjugate the local underground groups with violence, and seeing him rise to power step by step...
The action scenes with punches and fists and the smooth plot make people seem to see the wild vitality of the Yakuza bosses who grew up wildly in the early Showa era... as if they themselves have participated in the history of the boss' rise to power.
"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?!"
The iconic lines made the audience in the screening room feel excited and wished they were the one giving orders in front of the stage!
"It's so impressive!" "When I announce my New Year's goals in the company after the holiday, I have to tell my subordinates the same thing!" "Oh? Are you..." "No, this is the business class.
Chief!" "Hey...what's so awesome about a section chief!"
"..."
There are two fight scenes in this movie that are shot in one shot, one is a street chase, and the other is a climactic bloody fight in an underground parking lot.
Such a bloody fighting scene is rare in neon movies... It's more like an American plasma movie, but it looks really cool!
I saw that after Hayato Nagayama reached the peak of his life, he was betrayed by his superiors and besieged by his enemies...
The audience in the screening room held their breath... clenched their fists... watching Hayato Nagayama fight to the death with ten enemies in the elevator...
"It's so brave..."
At the same time, in Shizuoka, unknown to the audience, the members of the Nagayama group, under the organization of group leader Nagayama Kumahara, booked a movie theater to watch the screening of "The Legend of Hayato" collectively.
"This is the experience of our old team leader when he was young!" Brother Sha said loudly in front of all the team members, "Everyone must watch it carefully! Keep it in your heart!"
"You know, the leader of our Yongshan Group is full of legends!"
"We in the Yongshan Group must never forget the history of the old group leader!"
"Hi!!!" XN
One kind of group members echoed in unison. Regardless of whether they are diehards or not, they are all very happy when they are invited to watch movies for free during the New Year!
"By the way... After watching the movie, I will go back to the headquarters and select people to give their comments about the movie!"
"So everyone must watch carefully and think carefully! Gain something from the life experience of the old team leader!"
"....Hi~~"
There is actually homework... This suddenly makes the happy atmosphere a lot less!
.........
The official release of "The Legend of Hayato" has attracted great attention from the entire film industry.
In addition to ordinary audiences, film critics, major directors, and film school students all walked into the cinema with high expectations.
You know, Naoki Nagayama is now the most handsome boy in the film industry! In the past, most of his movies were romance movies, horror movies... and there were actually very few action movies.
"Hot Blood High School" can be regarded as a gangster fight at best. Although the fighting scenes are very real, the bastard boxing is actually nothing interesting to watch. The main thing is to watch the passion and perseverance of teenagers...
This time, "The Legend of Hayato" used action scenes as one of its selling points in the trailer, and in early test screening reviews, the action scenes were indeed very exciting, which made people who want to learn more come to the theater to watch it.
stand up.
The famous director Kinji Fukasaku actually didn’t really want to see it...
He came to see Naoki Nagayama's movie before, and because he was scared to death by Sadako, he suddenly became a laughing stock in the entertainment industry... During that period, he experienced illness and cancer, his wife divorced, and his lover broke up.
The whole person was hit hard.
Fortunately, I survived and am even recovering well now.
Speaking of which, he should also thank Nagayama Naoki. If it weren't for him, Fukasaku Kinji would not have discovered that he had cancer early.
He is currently preparing to shoot "The Man in the House on Fire". Although it is a feature film, he is confident that it will get a good box office... This is the confidence of a famous director.
"Let me see what this action movie that has been praised for so long is like!"
Kinji Fukasaku has directed "The Inhumane Battle" and has a lot of experience in yakuza character films. He doesn't think Naoki Nagayama can easily surpass him!
But when he entered the theater, he realized that... the world had changed!
Originally a dark and violent gangster movie, it was actually possible to make it so passionate...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although there is still blood and violence, it does not look so gloomy...
Even though he encountered betrayal and strangulation, he tried his best and never surrendered...
The final helplessness and departure made people see the unrestrainedness and a little bit of regret...
"How could he shoot like this! How could he shoot so well!"
Fukasaku Kinji watched the subtitles of the movie appear, and his heart was full of shock and helplessness... He knew that the movie about the underworld characters had reached another peak! The next generation of filmmakers must watch this peak and express their feelings.
I can’t help but sigh!
Thinking of this, the excitement I felt when watching the movie became depressed again... Fukasaku Kinji shook his head and planned to go home~
But when I stood up, I found that the lights in the screening room were not on, and none of the audience members stood up.
"What's going on? Is the light broken?"
Fukasaku Kinji was a little surprised. The movie had subtitles and it was over. Normally everyone would have to leave at this time, so the theater would have to turn on the lights!
"Uncle, there's more~" the audience next to me reminded.
"besides?"
"Yeah, sit down first..."
Fukasaku Kinji didn't react for a moment. He was pulled to sit down by the audience next to him, and then he saw the screen light up again.
In the quaint old-fashioned courtyard, the camera follows the steps of the characters and walks into the study from a first-person perspective...
The old man holding a book and wearing a black kimono couldn't see his face clearly under the sun, and he only felt a sense of age coming towards him.
"Ogi-san, Naoki is here..."
The focus of the lens began to become clearer, and the old man looked up with a kind smile on his face:
"You are Naoki..."
Stopped abruptly!
Fukasaku Kinji was stunned. The intertwined sense of past and present and the bold operation shocked his soul greatly. He did not stand up again until the lights came on...
"How could he think of filming like this!!"
Kinji Fukasaku only had this idea in his head... There are many Easter eggs in the movie, but this shot is not an Easter egg. It completely serves the movie!
This can be seen by the famous director Fukasaku Kinji!
Because this last shot connects the past story with today's reality, making the whole movie complete and giving people the highest impression!
On the peak of the film industry, an archway was actually built... to enshrine the image of Hayato Nagayama...
Everyone who has watched this movie in the future will remember the Yakuza legend in reality and history, who caused a scene in Tokyo and then quietly left!
Hayato Nagayama... As long as yakuza movies still exist, this man will always exist!
Fukasaku Kinji can already think of how many directors will pay tribute to this scene in future Yakuza movies!
