I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

"The script?"

Mai Sakurajima immediately became interested, raising her eyebrows and pressing for details, "What kind of script is it? A movie? Or a TV series?"

"Movie script."

Genkawa Yu nodded. "I plan to film it later."

"Really?"

Mai Sakurajima suddenly laughed, her face beaming, and asked, "What story is it?"

"Love story".

"A love story?"

Sakurajima Mai's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Genkawa Yu again and then asked.

Are you going to play the male lead?

"Perhaps, the script isn't even finished yet, it's too early to say anything like that."

Genkawa Yu changed the subject, since "Love Like a Bouquet" was prepared for Kurokawa Akane, and he couldn't directly discuss the subsequent filming matters in front of Sakurajima Mai.

Kato Megumi understood Genkawa Yu's meaning and immediately stepped forward to hand him the water bottle.

"Mr. Suo sent you an email this morning to discuss some other work next week."

"Well, I see."

Seeing the natural interaction between the two, Mai Sakurajima didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, then laughed.

"Then I'll look forward to your script, Mr. Alice~"

"..."

Three days later, the filming and editing of the trailer for "Alice in the Land of the Dying" were completed. When the official accounts of the production team released the meticulously edited teaser trailer and a set of powerful character posters on major social media platforms on time, it instantly stirred up a huge wave in the internet world.

The trailer opens with a bombshell.

That 1:1 replica of the empty Shibuya street scene, with its realistic details and breathtaking sense of emptiness, immediately captured the attention of all viewers.

Immediately afterwards, the camera zoomed in rapidly, magnifying the face of Yu Genkawa, who plays Ryohei Arisu, a face filled with shock, fear, confusion, and vulnerability, onto the screen.

On his handsome face, his pupils trembled slightly from the extreme emotional impact, and every subtle facial muscle seemed to be telling a silent cry.

Then, the trailer's pace suddenly quickened.

A burst of flames shot into the sky, a thrilling chase unfolded in the abandoned city streets, and a glimpse of the bizarre and deadly "game" scene.

Four playing cards—spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts—flashed rapidly, hinting at the cruel rules of this world.

Mai Sakurajima's portrayal of Yuzuha Usagi, wielding a climbing axe with sharp eyes and clean, crisp movements, is both cool and beautiful, precisely capturing the hearts of fans of the original work.

Finally, the scene freezes on the moment when Yuu Genkawa and Mai Sakurajima stand back to back, facing an unknown threat amidst the ruins, a moment of despair tinged with an indomitable hope, and the title "Alice in the Land of the Dying" falls with a bang.

The trailer, which is just over a minute long, is filled with cinematic quality and a burning budget in every frame, perfectly blending the visual spectacle of the post-apocalyptic wasteland with tense and exciting action scenes.

There are also profound questions about human nature and the subtle bond between the two main characters.

It not only satisfies the demanding requirements of fans of the original work for fidelity, but also attracts the attention of a large number of casual viewers with its extremely high production quality.

The simultaneous release of the character posters further heightened anticipation.

In the poster featuring Yuu Genkawa, he is wearing a worn-out, stained short-sleeved shirt with a minor scar on his face and messy hair. However, his eyes no longer convey the pure fear seen at the beginning of the trailer, but instead radiate a light of wisdom and resilience, perfectly matching the "strategic ace" persona of Ryohei Arisu.

Another poster featuring Mai Sakurajima is completely different. She has her hair in a high ponytail, wears a smart outdoor sportswear outfit, has some dust on her face but her eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and holds a climbing axe with a cold, hard luster. She looks like a drawn sword, exuding a heroic aura and explosive fighting power.

The two posters placed side by side create an extremely strong chemistry; one represents brains, the other physical strength, they rely on each other and are indispensable.

Wow!! It's Alice in Wonderland! It's actually being made into a live-action film?!

[This trailer is so high-quality! I'm really looking forward to it!]

[Is this the same Yu Minakawa I know? Did he immediately become the male lead after the romance reality show ended?]

[Sakurajima Mai! Sakurajima Mai! Usagi Yuzuha! So cool!]

[The recreation is so accurate! That completely empty Shibuya gave me goosebumps.]

[Genkawa-san's eye acting is truly exaggerated!]

[The trailer is packed with information! Spades, Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts! The game is coming! Can't wait for the full movie!]

Amidst this fervent discussion, none were more excited and ecstatic than Yuu Genkawa's fans.

They've been following Yu Minakata since "49" and now "Love is a Required Course in Life." Everyone is looking forward to Yu Minakata's career rising steadily. These are the so-called "career fans."

The chat interface of the fan group refreshed at a rate of dozens of messages per second, with exclamation marks and cheers almost overflowing the screen.

Did everyone see that? Yu-kun is actually playing the male lead!

[The trailer is fantastic! Yu-kun's acting is amazing!]

This resource is amazing! Yu-kun's popularity is definitely going to take off again!

[Quickly! Share! Comment! Like! Boost the data! Let everyone see!]

In an apartment in Tokyo, a busy and excited Yuki Natsukawa immediately forwarded the trailer and poster to all the fan groups she managed, along with a long string of enthusiastic words.

"Everyone must seize this opportunity to warm up!"

"This is Yu-kun's first time playing a lead role, so we must create more buzz for him. Once advertisers invest, we can further expand Yu-kun's popularity through consumption and support."

"Everyone who loves Yu-kun, let's all work hard!"

Although Yuki Natsukawa enjoys shipping couples, now that the dating reality show has ended, and with such a great opportunity presented, he naturally hopes that his brother's career can continue to soar.

Following her lead, other prominent fans and leaders of Yuu Genkawa's fan groups began to take action, demonstrating remarkable cohesion and initiative.

They spontaneously organized themselves, frantically forwarding trailers and posters, editing various promotional videos, creating exquisite promotional images and memes, and actively commenting on various related topics, turning all their enthusiasm and joy into tangible data.

This massive fan base, combined with the trailer's high quality, Mai Sakurajima's popularity, and the original work's inherent buzz, created a terrifying multiplier effect.

#The male lead of "Alice in the Land of the Dying"#

#Werewolf's First Lead Role in a Romance Variety Show#

# Arisu Liangpingyuanchuanyu#

These three terms surged unstoppably, eventually securing their place at the top of Twitter's trending topics list.

Clicking into the entry reveals exciting clips from the trailer, along with shouts from fans and astonishment from passersby.

[So it was him! The "werewolf" who got confessed to by three girls in the dating reality show is actually playing Arisu Ryohei?]

[After watching the trailer, the acting is indeed good; the eyes are expressive.]

Looking forward to the full movie! Hopefully, the full movie will maintain the quality of the trailer!

The production team was naturally aware of these lively discussions, and Director Aoyama was pleased with them.

After all, Yu Genkawa now has a considerable number of fans, with teenage and twentieth-generation young women being the main force among them, and these people have quite good spending power.

Countless people who didn't know Yu Genkawa before noticed this actor, who was playing a leading role for the first time, because of trending topics and trailers.

His fame, attention, and public expectations of him experienced an explosive increase on this day.

In front of the screen, Yuki Natsukawa looked at the two hot spots on Twitter's trending topics list, watching the ever-increasing discussion and number of followers, her fingers trembling with excitement.

She typed rapidly on the keyboard and sent a pinned message to the top of the fan group.

Remember today!

"This is the first miracle we created together with Yu-kun!"

"But this is just the beginning! Ahead lies a vast ocean of stars, and with each step from now on, we will accompany Youjun to walk more steadily and higher!"

Volume 1 The Shining Morning Star: Chapter 87 The Benefits of Being a Lead Role - Kana Arima Appears! (5.5K)

The online tsunami triggered by the teaser trailer for "Alice in the Land of the Dying" has had a strong aftershock, repeatedly bringing the name "Yu Minakawa" to the forefront of public attention.

Accompanied by labels such as "amazing acting skills", "unbelievable resources", and "soaring success in dating reality shows", he has occupied prominent positions in major media outlets and trending topics on social networks at an unprecedented frequency.

His dedicated fans relentlessly pushed every official appearance and every piece of related information he made to the top, attempting to solidify this popularity into a ladder for his steady rise.

Driven by this surging momentum, the crew officially entered a high-intensity filming phase at the vast outdoor location in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture.

As the undisputed lead actor, Yu Minakawa experienced for the first time the completely different treatment and atmosphere that comes with being in the spotlight.

Every morning, as his van drove into the meticulously recreated Shibuya set, an invisible yet palpable aura naturally enveloped him.

Wherever he goes, whether it's the assistant director holding a walkie-talkie giving instructions, the production assistant busily moving around setting up the set, or the cinematographer adjusting the huge camera and lighting equipment, they will all stop in their tracks when they see him, either nodding or showing a friendly but slightly scrutinizing smile.

Addressing someone politely as "Mr. Genkawa" or "Mr. Genkawa" shows respect beyond mere formality; it stems from the expectation for the reputation of the drama he portrays.

As the lead actor, he is one of the main axes of this massive creative machine, and his every move subtly influences the project's nerves and atmosphere.

Yuan Chuanyu has his own private rest area, located in a relatively quiet corner. Although the furnishings are simple, with only a table and chairs and a simple sofa, it is enough for him to escape the constant noise of the film set and immerse himself in his own world for a short time.

On the other hand, when he picked up the script of "Love Like a Bouquet" to refine during breaks in filming, the staff passing by would consciously slow their pace and look at him with expectation. No one would easily approach him to ask about trivial matters.

This carefully maintained creative space brought him a very novel experience, and when he was writing, he didn't have to worry about being suddenly disturbed.

Of course, Kato Megumi, as the artist's assistant, would always be by her side to better maintain this atmosphere.

In addition, there was a female makeup artist who belonged to the crew, who was almost like a shadow, always by his side.

Not only does the makeup process involve meticulous application of makeup lasting several tens of minutes before filming begins, but it is also evident in every break between shots. Whenever the director yells "Cut," regardless of whether the scene was a dialogue scene or an action scene that required a lot of physical exertion, the makeup artist will immediately and silently step forward, using a soft powder puff to apply loose powder to the areas on his face that may have slightly worn makeup due to sweat, oil, or vigorous movements.

These timely adjustments were all to ensure that every frame he appeared in was flawless and could withstand the rigorous test of close-up shots when the next scene was filmed.

This meticulous and almost demanding "image protection" made him realize something more profoundly than ever before.

As the male lead, his image doesn't just belong to himself; it's also a core asset in the visual presentation of the entire work, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose it.

One day, during filming, there was a crucial scene that particularly tested Yu Minakawa's inner acting skills.

He needs to portray Ryohei Arisu in a timed puzzle game where he must use his observation of environmental details to perform high-speed logical reasoning and ultimately find the only way out at the last minute.

This scene has very little dialogue and relies almost entirely on subtle facial expressions, rapidly changing eyes, and tense body language to convey the protagonist's extreme mental state and the psychological pressure on the verge of collapse.

Genkawa Yu completely immersed himself in the experience, and his experience in [Proficient Level Voice, Stage, and Expression] was constantly being gained without him even realizing it.
