Four days after arriving in Japan, the crew of "Love Letter" officially started filming.

The female lead is Miho Nakayama.

Just like the original version, she played two roles, Hiroko Watanabe and the adult Fujii Itsuki (female).

This role was the only one he chose.

This also led to the fact that after arriving in Hokkaido, Nakayama Miho has been extremely enthusiastic these days, and it seems as if she wants to throw herself at someone.

However, Nakayama Miho's appearance did not conform to Li Yishu's aesthetic taste, otherwise he would not mind assassinating the Japanese and leaving marks all over the place.

"Kimura Takuya, this scene is very important, you must shoot it well, do you understand?"

Li Yishu looked at the young man in front of her who had short hair and looked handsome and cool.

"Hi!"

After listening to the translation, Kimura Takuya nodded quickly and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Director Li, I have been reading the script carefully during this period, and I will perform seriously."

"Go get ready."

Li Yishu waved her hand and asked Kimura Takuya to prepare for the next scene. Looking at his leaving back, she couldn't help but sigh that the people at Toho Co., Ltd. are very good at selecting actors.

The male version of Fujii Itsuki was chosen by Takuya Kimura.

Takuya Kimura also made his official debut at the beginning of this year with the release of the album "Can't Stop!!-LOVING-".

Because of his cool looks, he caused a huge response among young girls and in the middle of the year he even participated in a movie.

Now he has been chosen by Toho Co., Ltd. to be the male lead, simply because of the huge number of female fans of Kimura Takuya.

Romance-themed films are much more popular among girls than men.

Moreover, usually couples go to the movies, and the girls are the ones who make the decision, so naturally they will go to see the cool and handsome Takuya Kimura.

Sitting in the director's chair, Li Yishu took the coffee poured by Huo Wenxi, took a sip slowly, and asked, "Wenxi, what do you think of the male lead Kimura Takuya's appearance?"

"It's pretty good, very idol-like."

Huo Wenxi nodded: "If he becomes an actor, as long as his acting skills are good, I think he should be able to attract a lot of female fans. And I heard from Sister Amy that Kimura Takuya only debuted at the beginning of this year. In just half a year, he has a huge number of female fans, which shows that he is very popular now, just like Aaron Kwok last year."

"Yeah, he's the Japanese version of Aaron Kwok."

Li Yishu nodded in agreement. Aaron Kwok's road to fame can be said to have exploded at a speed visible to the public.

In 1990, he became famous in Taiwan for endorsing motorcycle advertisements. In the same year, he signed a contract with a record company and his first solo album "Endless Love for You" sold over one million copies in Asia.

What does this mean? At the beginning of the year, he became famous through an advertisement and signed a contract with a record company. He was still a newcomer and had not learned to sing systematically, but his first album sold millions of copies in Asia.

This is exactly the routine used by the male protagonist in a cool novel.

In a sense, Li Yishu's popularity is far inferior to that of the other party.

Aaron Kwok is now one of the most popular singers in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and even the mainland. Next year, he will be called the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan by the media along with Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Lai Ming.

The popularity of Kimura Takuya is no less than that of Aaron Kwok. He released an album at the beginning of the year and became an instant hit. He filmed a movie in the middle of the year and brought millions of viewers to that mediocre movie.

As expected, her good looks made her an instant hit.

Li Yishu touched his face. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, a dignified appearance, and a tall enough height, but he could only be described as a little handsome.

Huo Wenxi noticed Li Yishu touching his face and his question, and said quickly, "Boss, I think idols who are famous only for their looks will not achieve much in the future. They are not as talented and heroic as you."

"Ha ha--"

Listening to the assistant's words, Li Yishu laughed happily: "You can't say that. Being good-looking is also an advantage."

"But people can't look good forever." "So smart people have already started to transform themselves, from idol stars to talented actors."

Aaron Kwok and Takuya Kimura, both of them became popular because of their good looks when they were young, and then they began to transform themselves step by step, and later both became excellent actors.

As for why the young and handsome actors failed to transform successfully, it is simply because they were not able to put in the hard work.

If we really talk about the level of popularity, who can compare to these two?
One sold millions of albums, and the other became a huge hit in Japan.

They could have made money without doing anything, but in the end they all worked hard and succeeded in their transformation.

Huo Wenxi wanted to say something when he heard this, but he saw Takuya Kimura coming out from a distance after putting on his makeup, so he quickly retreated to the back.

"Prepare!"

Li Yishu also took a sip of hot coffee, then stood up and began to direct the crew.

The people at Toho Co., Ltd. attached great importance to this movie. They selected the best crew members from Toho, and many of them are proficient in English.

It's not that inconvenient to communicate.

Time passes little by little.

The filming of "Love Letter" is progressing very quickly.

Precisely because Lee Yi-su has the original film reference in his mind, he would rehearse several times with several leading actors in advance before starting filming.

In this way, the shooting progress is greatly improved, so there is no need to worry about how to shoot because of dissatisfaction with certain scenes.

Wang Jiawei is a typical director of this type. He will give a plot and leave it to the actors to figure out how to perform it until he is satisfied.

To put it bluntly, it is to train the actors, let them adjust themselves, and then achieve an effect that even Wang Jia could not imagine for himself.

So one of his films often takes three to four years, or even five to six years to shoot.

half a month later.

Wait until the filming is halfway done.

Ichiro Tanaka came with Takeshi Kitano.

As soon as they met, Kitano Takeshi extended his hand very respectfully: "Director Li, it is a great honor to be able to act in your work."

"You're welcome, Mr. Kitano. Thank you for playing this small cameo role."

Li Yishu shook hands with the other party with a smile.

He didn't expect that Takeshi Kitano would agree to play a small postman with only a few scenes.

Kitano Takeshi: "For me, being able to act in Director Li's film is a happy thing in itself. Moreover, I really like your film "The Mountain, the Man, the Dog". Being able to act as the postman this time can be regarded as fulfilling a small wish of mine."

Li Yishu smiled cheerfully, "If Mr. Kitano really wants to do that, I actually have a good idea. Maybe we can work together in the future."

"Really?" Kitano Takeshi's eyes lit up. He really wanted to work with an award-winning director like Lee Ye-su.

"Of course, I never joke."

"What kind of movie is it?"

Hearing this, Li Yishu paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe it's a romance movie?"

"Fireworks" appears to be a criminal investigation and crime theme on the surface, but at its core it is a romance film.

"Ah?!" Kitano Takeshi was shocked. He was going to act in a romance movie?
Judging from his looks, he wouldn't be playing a villain!
　Big guys, please read my books and give me monthly votes. I really want you to do that!
