Chapter 544 An Acquaintance and a Hardworking Duo
In the studio that was transformed into a training venue, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was chatting with two of his acquaintances.

"Long time no see, Yuriko, why are you still so short?!"

Yoshitaka Yuriko with long black hair, youthful face, and cute height made her look like a cute high school student standing in front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Yuriko Yoshitaka, who is 157, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is 183, stand together, just like a pair of brothers and sisters with outstanding looks.

However, Yoshitaka Yuriko is two years older than Sakamoto Kiyoshi. . .

"Hahaha!"

As soon as he came up, Yoshitaka Yuriko, who was complained by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was not angry. Instead, he covered his mouth and laughed.

That's why Sakamoto Kiyoshi became friends with her.

Because of her lively personality and hearty smile when she smiles, it is easy to make friends around her feel happy, and they will sigh in their hearts, "Ah! This is a pistachio."

Sakamoto Kiyoshi is no exception.

Moreover, Yoshitaka Yuriko is very tolerant of his complaints.

"Why are you here? As far as I know, you don't seem to have any action scenes?" After teasing, Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked Yoshitaka.

The heroine "Kojima Tae" played by Yoshitaka is a weak woman who needs protection. There are almost no action scenes in the movie.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little curious about her appearance here.

"Oh, I'm just here to see how you train..."

This fits Yoshitaka Yuriko's character very well.

Very curious about everything. . .

"Oh, let's go to dinner after we finish training?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has starred in several movies, knows how important it is to get in touch with co-stars in advance.

Moreover, this kind of work is usually done by the male lead. . .

"Okay!" "Okay."

Matsuyama Kenichi and Yoshitaka Yuriko also readily agreed.

The friendship between Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Matsuyama Kenichi has been established as early as the filming of "Death Note".

Although there is a five-year age difference between the two, due to Sakamoto's precocious personality, as well as his status and popularity in the entertainment industry, the two have become good friends.

From time to time, the two of them will meet up to have a meal or something.

Of course, in many cases, it was Kiyoshi Sakamoto who held various dinners, and then invited his friends to come and eat and drink together, and also called it "If you don't have many contacts with friends, your relationship will weaken." . .

And Kenichi Matsuyama is one of those friends.

But the relationship between Yoshitaka Yuriko and Sakamoto Kiyoshi is even longer than Matsuyama Kenichi.

Five years ago, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had just debuted, rescued Yuriko Yoshitaka who was entangled by gangsters on the streets of Tokyo.

Although the two did not form an indissoluble bond because of the clichéd "hero saving the beauty", Sakamoto Kiyoshi still became friends with Yoshitaka Yuriko, a cheerful "silly big sister".

She can be said to be Kiyoshi Sakamoto's closest peer in the Amuse office, except Masaharu Fukuyama.

However, there are not many opportunities for the two to cooperate. This time "Killing City" is the first cooperation between the two.

It is worth mentioning that in the crew of "Killing City" this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acquaintances are not limited to Kenichi Matsuyama and Yuriko Yoshitaka.

There is one more person, that is Takayuki Yamada who did not show up at the training venue today.

Like Kiyoshi Sakamoto, this "King of Lily of the Beasts", who just got out of the promotional schedule of "Hot Blood High School 2", also played a cameo role in this "Killing City".

It's just that Takayuki Yamada doesn't have many roles, and there are no fighting scenes, so there is no need for special training from the crew.

Therefore, he did not appear here.

Soon, when Sakamoto Kiyoshi was chatting with Matsuyama Kenichi and Yoshitaka Yuriko, the film's action director Akechi Hayashi Ichiro also brought his own action team to the studio.

This wise-san, I heard that when he was young, he used to do martial arts for several years in the famous family-making class in Hong Kong, and after returning to China, he served as an action director in many blockbuster action movies.

One can imagine how authoritative this ordinary-looking middle-aged man is in the industry of action guidance.

Nikkatsu and NTV have really put in a lot of effort in order to capture the fierce battle scenes of this young man in a sci-fi comic. . .

After discussing with the group for a few words, Akechi Hayashi divided the actors into several different training groups.

A leading actor like Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has the most scenes and the most action scenes, is of course directed by Akechi Hayashi Ichiro himself.

And several other main actors, such as Matsuyama Kenichi, Hongo Kanata and others who are as important as their roles, are also trained by special personnel.

As soon as he came up, Akechi Hayashi Ichiro immediately asked: "I heard that you have practiced kickboxing? Besides, have you practiced any fighting skills?"

"Well, free combat, Sanda, and some fighting skills of American special forces."

Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not hide his fighting background.

He knew that the action routines of shooting movies and actual combat were completely different things.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't think he was great just because he had practiced free combat, Sanda, and learned fighting skills from Alex for a few days.

Perhaps the thin and wise Hayashi Ichiro was not his opponent at all when the two really fought.

But in terms of the action design of the film, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can only listen to him obediently.

After all, they are professionals.

However, what made him feel bad was that when he heard his "reveal", Akechi Hayashi Ichiro's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Looking at the action guide who was staring at him closely, with glowing eyes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly felt that he would not have a good time in the next month. . .

Because, in Miike Takashi's eyes, he had seen similar fanaticism before!
The most direct consequence was that when he was filming "Hot Blood High School 2", the difficulty of the action scenes more than doubled!
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had just escaped from Takashi Miike's clutches, suddenly felt tired and unloved. . .

. . .

There was no reversal at all, and what Kiyoshi Sakamoto was worried about still happened.

Knowing that Sakamoto Kiyoshi has a solid fighting background, Akechi Hayashi Ichiro overturned the previous training plan at once, and then tailored a "male protagonist" training plan for Sakamoto Kiyoshi!
In "Killing City," the showy battle scenes fill the entire movie, even with the help of special effects.

However, many shots still require actors to go into battle in person to complete.

What's more, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is still the core character of the whole story?
Therefore, in order to make the movements more gorgeous and cool, the action director Akechi Hayashi Ichiro practiced Kiyoshi Sakamoto vigorously within a month. . .

While adding a lot of muscle training, he also designed several sets of handsome fighting moves for him.

Naturally, the amount of training more than doubled. . .

Of course, Kenichi Matsuyama, another main role player who also played a lot of roles, also received his "special care". . .

Just after the hard-pressed two had passed the special training period, finally. . .

Since the 2008 economic crisis, Japan's largest film production, "Killing City", officially started shooting!
　How about the new cover?handsome! (~￣▽￣)～
