Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 174 History of Time
With the completion of location shooting in Hakodate City, Hokkaido, the shooting progress of the "Hanabi" movie has basically reached the advanced stage.

Takakura Bunta was particularly embarrassed.

After arriving in Hokkaido, I participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Mount Hakodate Everbi Military Fortress, the Hokkaido chip industry chain seminar, the revision of textbooks for primary and secondary schools in Hokkaido, and the fundraising activities of the Hokkaido Industrial Workers Federation, etc.

This caused Takakura Bunta to have to take leave all the time during the filming in Hakodate City, and the reshoots were all piecemeal.

But there is no way, this is the side effect of hiring a big star to act. There are too many things on my body, and I can't stay on the set in a down-to-earth manner.

Even Akina Nakamori, who has semi-retired, took several leaves during filming.

When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves.

…………

However, although Bunta Takakura took a leave of absence, he did not participate in the drama and maintained his passion for character creation.

At the same time, he also cooperated with the crew's arrangements and even took the initiative to rush to the show to reduce negative impact as much as possible. He is already a very good big-name artist.

This makes Kitano Takewa's filming team relatively tolerant of Takakura Bunta.

Bronze tripod, a group of seven pieces, with the same shape, decoration and inscription, and the size decreases in descending order. The largest one is 39.8 cm in height and 44.2 cm in diameter, and the smallest is 25.4 cm in height and 28.6 cm in diameter...

…………

There is an inscription on the inner wall of the tripod with eighteen characters in four lines. The inscription reads: "The tripod was bestowed by Qin to the princes of Ezo and will be used by their descendants for thousands of years."

A large number of cultural relics were newly unearthed from the abandoned coal mines in Yubari City, Hokkaido.

Detective Nishika Kei, played by Bunta Takakura, and his wife Miyuki, played by Akina Nakamori, were on the run. On their way to escape, the two came to the Jomon Cultural Museum at No. 551-1 Usjiri-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido.

I dare not say that we should completely eliminate the behavior of asking for too much leave, but we should try our best to avoid it.

After identification by the Archeology Section of the Hokkaido Ministry of Culture, this is a newly discovered group of Jomon ruins in Hokkaido.

This time taught Bunta Takakura a lesson: in the future, he still needs to plan the schedule well when taking on roles.

A large number of bamboo slips, these bamboo slips are 23.1 to 27.8 centimeters long and 0.5 to 0.8 centimeters wide. The text inside is Qin Li written in Chinese calligraphy. It was written in the late Warring States and the period of Qin Shihuang. It contains 1155 bamboo slips and more than 4 characters...

A large number of bamboo slips and bronze tripods were also discovered in this site group. This is a major discovery that has never been seen in the history of Hokkaido...

Artifacts newly exhibited at the Jomon Cultural Museum.

During the filming of the fireworks, a plot that was not originally included was added.

…………

....................................

Its contents mainly include the legal system, administrative documents, medical works of the Qin Dynasty, and divination books about good and bad times...

…………

The Shakusain Foundation and the Hokkaido Cultural Relics Management Division organized a group of experts to identify this batch of cultural relics and identified them as important historical relics and included them in the Jomon Culture Museum.

In addition, these industries under Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. also need to be re-planned and integrated.

The two also accidentally broke the cultural relics newly displayed in the museum.

This group of sites shows the life, culture and social structure of the Ainu people in Hokkaido after they entered the agricultural civilization from 476 BC to 221 BC.

At the same time, "Ultraman Information Book" (Ultraman Information Book), "Showa 40 Man", "Tokyo Sports City News" and other newspapers and magazines have reported on it.

Some experts published an article and suggested: "The aboriginal people of Hokkaido may have come from the Qin Dynasty in the Red Earth Continent 2200 years ago. They sought immortals overseas and were granted fiefdoms in Ezo..."

Of course, this fabricated report was immediately criticized by university professors from prestigious historical universities such as the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, and Etajima University. The two sides are engaged in a war of public opinion, going back and forth and fighting each other.

…………

Primary and secondary schools in Hokkaido announced that they will revise history textbooks to include this historic archaeological discovery in the textbooks.

In addition, under the strong request of Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd.

Director Takeshi Kitano reluctantly agreed and arranged for a photographer to shoot a video of bamboo slips and bronze tripods, which was recorded as a behind-the-scenes video and added to the video tape of "Hanabi".

In return, Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. made an additional investment, allowing Kitano to hold traveling exhibitions in top galleries in Paris and Tokyo.

…………

Takeshi Kitano is one of the film directors who loves to draw.

Those paintings from the opening credits of the movie "Hanabi".

There are also more than 100 works created by the down-and-out painter played in "Achilles and the Tortoise", which he directed and acted in. All of them were actually written by him.

At first, he spontaneously started painting while he was recuperating at home after a car accident. He has continued to paint in movies and in life, and has also moved his works into art museums.

....................................

Bunta Takakura's "History of Time" trick was inspired by his chat with legal advisor Miki Choichiro.

Miki Law Firm is helping a client with a fraud case involving the "Aristotle Manuscript".

While chatting with Miki Choichiro, Takakura Bunta discovered the randomness of the entire ancient Western history...

…………

The discovery of bamboo baskets used by ancestors 10,000 years ago in Gaza also proves that Israel is the Promised Land and has been endorsed by the National Museum of American History.

If a bamboo basket that is well preserved and has not decayed for 3000 years is already outrageous, then what is even more outrageous is the ancient Greek "Collected Works of Aristotle" that has been passed down for years.

This is an epic masterpiece involving logic, physics, psychology, biology, ethics, politics, poetry, etc., with a total of 1570 million words.

The full text of Confucius' "The Analects" of the same period has a total of 8705 words.

…………

According to the recording method at that time, clay tablets and stone tablets were used, and each copy of "Aristotle's Collected Works" was a magnificent complex of clay tablet palaces;
To record on parchment, it would take 20 sheep to make the parchment to make a copy of the "Collected Works of Aristotle";
Using bamboo tubes like Confucius to record, more than 30 words can be written on each bamboo slip. The number of bamboo slips required is so overwhelming that it is difficult to record. A "Collected Works of Aristotle" requires tens of thousands of oxcarts to transport.

According to a thesis from the History Department of Cambridge University, "Collected Works of Aristotle" was written in 347 BC. It was the best-selling book in the Pan-Mediterranean countries during the ancient Greek era, with tens of thousands of copies issued at that time...

…………

In this case, Takakura Bunta could of course discover bamboo tubes and bronzes from the late Warring States Period 2,000 years ago in Hokkaido.

Wulang, who was in charge of international trade, made a special trip to Panjiayuan, the imperial capital of the Red Earth Continent, to learn professional history creation techniques.

The bamboo tube is immersed in boiling water containing dilute acetic acid solution and simmered, then placed in a cool place to dry, and then dried using a quick method of warm baking, then polished, waxed, polished, and wiped clean until a natural patina is formed. .

The bronze tripod is immersed in a mixture of hydrochloric acid, lime, salt, and pigments to form a coating on the authentic utensils.

....................................

In mid-December, the trip to Hokkaido ended, and "Hanabi" was finally completed.

Bunta Takakura, Akina Nakamori, Tony Futaki, Tetsu Watanabe, Yun Kurai and others attended the finals banquet arranged by the crew. While having a happy reunion, they also said goodbye to each other...
