Shen Zhenghui didn't realize that "The Book of Strange Events of Ryoko Yakushiji" would be the movie he spent the most effort to prepare.

"The Green Hornet" swept the global market, followed by the release of "The Legend of Wukong" and the much-anticipated "Battle Fairy Snow Wind", which are basically two masterpieces promoted in the first half of the spring, "Black Fist 2" is in full swing, but it is estimated that even if the filming is completed in the first half of the year, it will be until the end of the second half of the year, one is to avoid the World Cup frenzy, and the other is to coordinate the global distribution, after all, the first part of "Black Fist" has gained a good reputation around the world, The supporting actor Tony Jia even overshadowed Jack Cheng and Jet Lee in public opinion, and is known as a new generation of kung fu superstars. Wu Jin, the baby-faced guy, was ignored by Chiguodi.

But beyond the news, the media is also particularly concerned about Shen Zhenghui's new film, whose latest new film "The Assembly" has grossed more than $50 million in China, and the overseas box office has not yet been calculated. "Black Fist", which is even more well-known to the Japanese, won a box office of 100 million US dollars, which is an astronomical amount for the Japanese to be able to get this box office for a live-action movie. Of course, the Japanese did not pay attention to Shen Zhenghui because of the box office, and they watched with mixed emotions as the Chinese director, who they previously thought was deliberately currying favor with the Japanese, became an international director and was recognized by Hollywood. The gossip that Colombia invited Shen Zhenghui to shoot a movie was widely publicized by the Japanese, who believed that Japan had cultivated this amazing young director, but some people also questioned why the young Japanese director did not come forward. Soon. Takashi Shimizu was invited to the United States to shoot the American version of "The Grudge", which is considered to answer this question. But the Japanese still have mixed feelings.

As soon as the news that Shen Zhenghui was going to shoot a new film came out, media people spontaneously took the initiative to inquire about the news, and when Kasuga began to prepare the actors that Shen Zhenghui needed, it was no secret that Shen Zhenghui was going to shoot the subject.

"It's actually a live-action movie adapted from Tanaka's novel, what the hell is this guy doing?" For Shen Zhenghui's choice, the Japanese shouted that they couldn't understand it, not because Tanaka's novel was not suitable for adaptation into a live-action movie, but because the Japanese couldn't imagine that Shen Zhenghui would actually touch this theme, even if this theme was adapted into an animated film, it was really thankless to make it into a real person. For example, Tanaka's masterpiece "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Of course, in the cartoon, you can express Xiàn to your heart's content. But if it's filmed in real life, it's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's simply a question of whether it can be realized. Of course, "Yakushiji Ryoko's Book of Strange Events" is not as exaggerated as "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", but the vast majority of propaganda still thinks so. It's a very difficult movie to make well.

Public opinion is not optimistic about Shen Zhenghui's work, which does not mean that the entertainment industry is not interested in this work. Although it is generally known in the Japanese entertainment industry, Shen Zhenghui generally uses the female star of Queens as the heroine. But this time, many female stars' offices and agents took the initiative to contact Kasuga Pictures. recommended their actresses to Shen Zhenghui, and even many people tried to create public opinion, preaching that their female stars were the most suitable actors for Ryoko Yakushiji. This topic quickly piqued the interest of the whole people, and led to the best-selling of "Ryoko Ryoko's Book of Strange Events at Yakushiji Temple". Everyone has discussed, according to Tanaka's description of Ryoko Yakushiji, which female star is most compatible in appearance and temperament?

Several of Queens's female stars were excluded first because they were all too young, and only silly fans would say, I think Keiko or Erika are good! Queens puts too much effort into young little girls, and when it comes to being an actress in her twenties, she's really stretched. Tomoaki Aonuma, who appeared in "The Green Hornet", is considered to be the most capable actor of Queens, but he is still criticized that the screen image has always been dominated by gentle female characters, and it is difficult to meet Ryoko Yakushiji's requirements in terms of temperament, even if he is reluctant to perform, the curve of his face is too soft.

God knows if this is worried about Shen Zhenghui's public opinion offensive in order to take care of her, but as far as Shen Zhenghui himself is concerned, he probably won't think that Tomoaki Aonuma is suitable for this role, in Shen Zhenghui's mind, Mitsumi Fukuda is quite suitable for this role, but Mitsumi Fukuda obviously will not dedicate her first time on the screen for this role.

It was probably this public opinion offensive that convinced the public opinion makers themselves, and they boldly made a recommendation to Kasuga, and in the end, public opinion focused on several well-known actresses with equal beauty and temperament, and some newspapers and television stations put forward five candidates: Norika Fujiwara, Takako Matsu, Nanako Matsushima, Yuki Amami, and Michiko Yoshise.

Yuki Amami is older, but everyone's impression of her just stays in the play "The Queen's Classroom", many people think that she has the temperament of a queen and can be qualified for this role, although her appearance is a little worse. Of course, it's actually not bad, but compared to the four tied with her, her temperament is too neutral.

Yoshise Michiko's ascension is a bit unexpected, although she is a little famous, but she has not yet reached this kind of Cheng dù, the reason why the media listed her is because she is the girlfriend of the great director Miyamoto, with the cooperation between Miyamoto and Shen Zhenghui, many people think that if Miyamoto recommends, Shen Zhenghui will consider Michiko, especially her appearance is quite in line with the aesthetics of Westerners.

When Shen Zhenghui saw this report, he himself was a little surprised, "Okay, at least there are three people here that I didn't expect." He pouted, "These guys reminded me." ”

"So get all of them for an interview?" Mitsumi Fukuda looked at Shen Zhenghui with interest, "If anyone is willing to sleep with you, you can choose whomever you want." ”

Shen Zhenghui glanced at her, "I don't have such a bad taste as you," he narrowed his eyes, "Not to mention that there are our acquaintances here, I don't think Tianhai is definitely this kind of person, not to mention that there are people who want to get married," he smacked his lips, "It's a trade-off." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda snorted, "Don't you think they're trying to interfere with our selection?" ”

"It's quite clever, but it's up to me to do this," Shen Zhenghui said, "and they opened up ideas for me." ”

"Hmph," Mitsumi Fukuda sneered, "That's what these guys are good at, provoking this topic and attracting the attention of the whole people, your movies always have to make money in the end, can you still do it against everyone's expectations?" Then their purpose was achieved. ”

"It's not going to work!" Shen Zhenghui said in his heart, won't Yu's mother do this in the future? provoked the topic, but he deliberately did it against the audience, and the more he scolded, the more popular he became. But on his mouth, Shen Zhenghui asked, "According to what you say, the guy who operates this matter has a lot of energy!" He held up the newspaper.

"Of course," Mitsumi Fukuda replied, "these agencies are the biggest suspects, and now you have the answer, right?" ”

Shen Zhenghui looked at the newspaper again, focusing on the photo attached to the newspaper, "Matsutako is too young, and he doesn't look like he has a temperament." He thought for a moment and said, "Now that it seems, I think Nanako Matsushima is also good, can you talk to her?" ”

"She's getting married."

"It's not a retreat." Shen Zhenghui didn't care, "Let's get in touch with her and test it." ”

"You're going?"

"Of course you go," Shen Zhenghui replied, "I have more things to do." ”

"Busy?" Mitsumi Fukuda smiled, "You have paid too much attention to the heroine, so far, has the male protagonist been chosen?" ”

"I'll do it myself!"

"Forget it!"

"Could it be that the male protagonists have also begun to create public opinion?"

"Janis contacted us and they said that we can choose any SMAP members, and everyone else can do it."

"Forget it, I can't find a person in STAP who matches the male protagonist I imagined," Shen Zhenghui held his chin, "After all, it's still too tender, and it's an idol debut," he shook his head, "So I have to go on it myself." ”

"What do you imagine the male protagonist should look like?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked rhetorically.

"Middle-aged, calm, he should treat the heroine like a daughter, in a sense, he should always be like an outsider complaining." Shen Zhenghui's mind came to the appearance of Ah Xu, and then he shook his head, "To have common sense, and at the same time full of enthusiasm for fantasy things, it is best to express it as if it is a lack of feelings, but there is indeed an unknown bond with the heroine, and it is difficult to express it!" Several famous male actors just don't fit in image. ”

"I think you've gone into a misunderstanding," Mitsumi Fukuda said quietly, "and you don't have to be Japanese for this role." ”

"I'm not Japanese!"

"I mean, you don't necessarily need to play it, you can find other non-Japanese actors who match your impression." Mitsumi Fukuda said.

Shen Zhenghui thought about it carefully, and compared with the animation, he really couldn't think of anyone who was more suitable for the role of Junichiro Izumita. "Do you have a building yì?" He asked.

"What do you think of Zhang Guorong?"

"Ah......" Shen Zhenghui suddenly realized, he stared at Fukuda Mitsumi with wide eyes, the other party's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to have any special feelings for his Tiyì.

"Although he is a little older, he is very consistent in appearance, and his acting skills don't need to be considered, the only thing to worry about is whether he will accept this invitation." Shen Zhenghui responded.

"There's always a way." Mitsumi Fukuda said.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"And what about the actress's interview?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked, "Would you like them to come along?" I believe that once it is released, this is big news. ”

"I have no opinion," Shen Zhenghui replied, "and we will echo the expectations of the Japanese people, and of course, it is better to attach a book by Mr. Tanaka to the invitation letter." ”

"Open selection?"

"Open selection." Shen Zhenghui replied, "In the past, I didn't quite understand why people were doing this activity, it seemed like a waste of time, but now it seems that we have to keep up with the times." ”

"I hope you won't complain then." Mitsumi Fukuda replied. (To be continued......)
