Chapter 52: Hot Screening

"Hey, Kogoro, have you heard, Erika Sawajiri changed her name to Sawajiri Eiryuka and re-debuted, and she also made a fairly large-scale movie. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"On this day, Inoue Sawano had just returned home when he received a call from his good friend Yasuaki Matsumoto.

Inoue Sawano replied while changing his shoes: "I don't know about such a big thing, isn't it the "Embarrassment", I also specially watched TBS's interview with her. Anyway, that poster is a real demon.,I really never thought that one day Ya would become like this.。 ”

"You're talking about the episode of the interview with Ako Kawada of TBS, oops, that's nothing, did you watch the trailer you just released this morning?" Matsumoto asked.

"No, you know I'm going to work during the day."

"I know you didn't read it, I've already sent it to your mailbox, but remember to prepare a tissue before reading it, so as not to make your nosebleed." Matsumoto Yasuaki said proudly.

Inoue Sawano replied disapprerovingly: "As for it, it's as if I haven't seen ***." ”

"It's different, it's different, you can see it by looking at it."

"Alright then, I'll see what's different." Saying that, Inoue Sawano turned on the computer, entered the mailbox, found the video sent to him by Matsumoto Yasuaki, and played it, as soon as it was played, he couldn't help but press pause, and then exclaimed into the phone: "I'll go, this scale is too big, Yaya is actually ****." ”

"Well, I'll just say it's exciting, but unfortunately I can only see the back, not the front." Matsumoto Yasuaki said with some regret.

Inoue Sawano immediately refuted: "Nonsense, you must only be able to see the back, otherwise you won't be able to enter the theater at all." ”

As he spoke, he clicked on it again and continued to play, and the next content was even more shocking, because there were actually large sections of XXOO footage, so that Matsumoto Yasuaki on the other end of the phone could hear Sawajiri Yinglonghua's shouting, and he was itching to hear it, and after a long time, he heard Inoue Sawano gasp and say: "This film must be watched." ”

"Well, Sawano, with what I know about these studios, it's likely that the whole film is just a few minutes of passionate shots......" Matsumoto reminded kindly.

"It's worth it for these few minutes, are you going?"

"Go! Of course I definitely go! ”

In fact, not only Inoue and Matsumoto, the two otakus, but also many viewers were attracted by this large-scale trailer and Sawajiri's transformation, so on the day of the release of "Embarrassment", the premiere tickets were actually sold out.

Since this is the first film he has invested in, Takeya Fujishima came to watch the premiere in person, but because he had seen this film in his previous life, he appreciated it from a different angle than ordinary audiences.

First of all, he admires the filming technique of director Minoru Ninagawa, a photographer-turned-director, whose two masterpieces, "The Wicked Oiran" and "Embarrassed" (aka plastic surgery diva), are works with obvious personal characteristics. The most obvious is the style of the picture and composition, but also the narrative style.

The embarrassment is thoroughly unfolded with a police officer's investigation, a third-person perspective, and some narration of supporting characters. The officer looked at Lilizi's immaculate body, but uttered the words she was crumbling. Looking at the case he was investigating, the bruised and festering body of the young girl, I already understood what happened to Liliko. Just waiting to see how she falls.

Lilizi's setting is very subtle, and in layman's terms, it is a tender model. And it's the kind that can only sell youth and appearance. The movie faintly skipped the scene where Lilizi starred in the movie. However, when the report published a photo of her and another heroine, she was still furious, even though the heroine had been squeezed behind her. The attitude towards the people around her and her unscrupulous appearance with her boyfriend XXOO in the dressing room also revealed her true character.

However, when she was replaced in the later stage and her beauty began to collapse, the emptiness in her heart swallowed up the sober her. She fluttered her wings and flew high in accordance with everyone's hopes, but she had to bear the pain of falling alone. When it became known that her once-psychedelic appearance was also constantly repaired by man-made people, the renewed enthusiasm for her was nothing more than a schadenfreude attack. The incident reached a boiling point when she was blinded in public, after which people didn't need her anymore.

Friend? She has no friends. The boss needs a money-making machine and a projection when she was young, the makeup artist uses her to prove her worth, the director and producer only treats her as a body, the deformed worship of the assistant and the assistant boyfriend who seduces her are just tools she uses to vent and utilize, and the younger sister has long understood his world.

An all-or-nothing adventure for beauty, no! It's desire, and there's no end.

The background of the movie is magnificent and enchanting, and the large scarlet and highly saturated color contrast are like the flowers of desire growing wantonly in the dark, beautiful and dazzling. With this background, it further sets off the emptiness and erosion of a star's life. If you don't play a false character in front of the stage, you have to have crazy fun and seek a little sense of self-existence in the most extreme way. With the front and back of a star, we can see the blind stupidity of the public, the hypocrisy and mad indulgence and depravity of the star, the nature and greed of people using each other, the discussion of artificial beauty, and people's endless pursuit of desire.

Speaking of stars, I have to mention the starring actor of this film, Hidetaka Sawajiri. She was synonymous with the innocence of a liter of tears. But she was tired of the label that people had given her, so she changed her name and used a large-scale lens to shake off the mask of the past. Perhaps it is this special experience that makes her play the crazy protagonist with a bit of determination. The role of Kiko Mizuhara, another supporting character, is also very interesting, replacing Liliko's new favorite, who is indifferent and terrible in the face of her own foreseeable destruction. It's a pity that Kiko Mizuhara was born as a tender model and has limited expressiveness, otherwise Xiao Jie is a very sharp supporting role.

There are many phenomena that the movie wants to show and allude to, and the content is a little too saturated. Perhaps it would be more profound and better in some aspects of the portrayal alone. Either way, this is one of my favorite movies. I was also pleasantly surprised at the end, and I loved the contemptuous and uninhibited sneer the most.

Facts have proved that this film is quite successful, and the box office exceeded 200 million yen within a week of release, although it is not as good as the terrifying three days and 300 million yuan in Fujishima Takeshi's memory of his previous life (that is because it coincided with the three consecutive national holidays from July 14 to July 16RB), but it is also an extremely terrifying box office. But Takeshi Fujishima's goal was more than that, and a week after the premiere, he launched a Taiwanese propaganda offensive.
