After returning to Japan, THE SUN disbanded again after receiving and commending Sony bigwigs.

THE SUN, which is becoming more and more popular, has gradually become the same celestial group mode as SMAP.

Just like the five members of SMAP, when they don't fit to release records, some people will act in TV series, some people will host variety shows, and some people will act in musicals, striving for diversified and multi-faceted development, and the same is true for the three people of THE SUN.

However, compared with SMAP after the initial feeling of the stones, THE SUN has been on this road of multi-faceted development from the very beginning.

Because, in THE SUN, there is the existence of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, an all-round artist.

Therefore, THE SUN, like SMAP, the first day of the Japanese group, is equipped with talents who can develop in all aspects.

It's just that Kiyoshi Sakamoto can top five SMAP people alone...

Unlike SMAP where all five people can take charge of themselves and star in dramas and movies, in THE SUN, Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba have no interest or talent at all in terms of acting.

Therefore, when the band did not release a record, only Kiyoshi Sakamoto acted alone, while Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba did their own thing.

In terms of Allah Ogawa's attack on variety show hosting, in terms of templates in the circle, he may be a little similar to SMAP's Nakai Masahiro.

And Chiba Masaki is mainly engaged in behind-the-scenes production, and his template is his teacher, gold medal producer Yasushi Akimoto.

As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto?

He's one of a kind.

After all, there is no second artist with a high degree of education, creative talent, acting, eloquence, and writing in the entire Japanese entertainment industry!

。。。。。。

August 12th, fine.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is making salted fish at home, is selecting scripts handed over by major TV stations and film companies with his agent Uncle Ishida.

This is also another very direct impact after the three of THE SUN returned with honors.

The six major TV stations, as well as the four major film companies, all sent scripts to Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

Judging from the three stacks of scripts placed on the coffee table, it is roughly estimated that there are nearly a dozen scripts, including TV series and movies.

After being screened by his agent Uncle Ishida, he was divided into three gears according to the sophistication of the script.

It is recommended to take it down, it can be considered, and it is not considered.

In fact, if the script is not considered, Uncle Ishida can return it directly, and he doesn't need to bring it to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

However, considering that Kiyoshi Sakamoto had emphasized to him before, all the scripts sent to him, whether good or bad, he had to go through the requirements.

That's why Uncle Ishida took all the scripts.

This is understandable, after all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a reborn, and he knows something about the movies and TV series of later generations.

This is done to avoid the embarrassing situation of overseeing some popular TV series or movies when Uncle Ishida screened them. . .

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, was holding a blue notebook and was looking at the contents with relish.

This is a movie script sent by NTV, one of the five major private TV stations, called...

"Killing City"!

This is the top script that can be considered on the stack.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was attracted by the name of the script at first sight.

Because, in his previous life, he watched this movie!

"What, are you interested in this movie?" Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto reading the script intently, smiling from time to time, Uncle Ishida was also very curious.

"Well, I think it's a good movie. However, I have a question ... ”

"Oh, what is it?"

"It's obviously a movie script, but why was it sent by NTV, and not the studio?"

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto has made four films: "Death Note", "Bloody High School", and "Love in the Sky", he is still a little confused about the operation of the film industry.

He originally had the idea of making a movie in the near future, so he bought the film adaptation rights of "KOF" in order to make a live-action movie in the future.

And if you want to make a movie, you must have an understanding of the film industry, so that you won't be like a blind fly, you don't know what to do.

Therefore, taking the opportunity to choose the script, Sakamoto Kiyoshi took the opportunity to consult Uncle Ishida.

In his eyes, Uncle Ishida, a middle-aged uncle, is like a book called "Guide to the Japanese Entertainment Industry".

No matter what it is, as long as it is about things in the entertainment industry, he basically knows a lot.

Therefore, he asks whatever he doesn't understand, and Uncle Ishida will always give him close to the right answer.

And this time, it's no exception.

"Because the producer of this film is a production committee dominated by NTV. ”

The appearance of another new term made Sakamoto Kiyoshi once again incarnate a curious baby, and asked, "Uh, what is the production committee?"

Uncle Ishida also took the trouble to give Sakamoto Kiyoshi about the production of the movie.

The process of filmmaking, in a nutshell, is divided into several steps.

First of all, the producer, seeing a story, came up with the idea of making this story into a movie.

Then, after bringing in sponsors, a production committee was formed.

The production committee, also known as the production committee method, is a way to spread risk when making animation and films.

When making entertainment works such as animations and movies, there is a risk of incurring a large amount of debt if the work is not popular. In reality, there are many companies that have suffered business crises and even gone bankrupt and merged because they have produced unpopular movies.

Specifically, it is funded by multiple sponsors first, and while the financial risk is diversified, if there is a profit, it is also distributed based on the ratio of the investment.

For sponsors, the amount of money required for each work is reduced, so it is easier to participate in more productions and raise production costs.

In other words, the production fee for the film comes from the production committee.

And the members of the committee, under normal circumstances, will have many families, some of whom contribute more money, and some of whom contribute less.

As sponsors, these people pay to make the film.

If the movie produced is a big hit, then these sponsors will naturally have dividends to share.

After the cost is recovered, dividends will be distributed according to the proportion of sponsorship.

The success of the resurgence of domestic films is also a blessing to the fact that the production committee has made it easier for companies that produce television programs to enter the film industry.

After listening to popular science, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also let out a long "oh", and then continued to ask, "What about after the production committee is done?"

"After the production committee was formed, the next step was to look for supervisors and actors, and generally speaking, this work was done by the producer, which is why it was the script sent by NTV, not Toho. ”

"Because, Toho is the film distributor, and NTV is a member of the production committee. ”

"I see... ”

After a preliminary understanding of the production process of the movie, Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his attention back to the script of "Killing City" in his hand.

NTV sent the script to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and it must have invited him to be the main servant of the movie.

That is, the male protagonist in "Killing City", "Xuanye Strategy"!

Since all four of his main films were big hits, Sakamoto was promoted to the ranks of top haikus early in the morning.

If you don't invite him as a main player for a movie or TV series, SMA won't accept it.

After all, once you stand in the position of the protagonist, if you play a supporting role, you will only reduce your style and identity.

Unless it's the kind of film that has a very good script and is directed by an international director like Takeshi Kitano, it is possible to invite Haiyu of Kiyoshi Sakamoto as a supporting role.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to take over movies and TV series that are not the protagonists.

This is related to the development of his personal acting career, and he can't help but be less cautious.

Looking at the script, after careful consideration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto slowly raised his head and said to Uncle Ishida with a serious face.

"I want to take this movie!"

Along with the script, there was also a proposal for the film.

The original work of "Killing City" is a science fiction comic series serialized by Japanese cartoonist Oku Haoya in 2000, with a cumulative circulation of more than 15 million copies, and it is a leader in Japanese youth science fiction comics.

And this time, NTV is going to make this manga a live-action movie, and for this reason, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who once starred in "Death Note", was appointed as the protagonist of this movie.

The important reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided to take the film contract for this movie is actually the memory of the movie in his previous life, as well as NTV's generosity.

In the proposal sent by NTV, the film is ready to be made into two parts, that is, the same format as "Death Note".

And the production cost is as high as 4 billion!

With such a high production cost, it is almost one of the top 10 in the history of Japanese film production costs...

You must know that even the "Death Note" two-part series, which does not use a lot of CG special effects, has a total production cost of only 2 billion.

And "Killing City" has prepared twice the production cost!

It is conceivable that such a big production, coupled with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's main service and a wide base of manga fans, will inevitably become a hot topic of discussion among the public after its release.

And in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's memory, the two parts of this movie seem to have won a very high box office.

In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has no reason to refuse, such a movie that can be a big hit once it is released.

And hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words, Uncle Ishida first browsed it, and the plan sent by NTV suddenly frowned.

However, the filming cycle of this movie takes about half a year, which seems to be a bit long. Uncle Ishida took out a small notebook, "And, if you take over this movie, then your schedule for the next year will be a little stretched... ”

That book,It should be Sakamoto Kiyoshi's itinerary.。

"In half a year, I finished filming the upper and lower parts, that is to say, one is only three months, which is not too long. Kiyoshi Sakamoto has no opinion on this, "And, if you shoot it faster, it may be done in five months... ”

"Since you think it's okay, then take it!"
