Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 440: Film a movie called "The Vanished She," to nail the scumbag to the pillar of shame; a stellar cast.
Kogoro Mouri and the others looked at Takeshi Ono, who had a confident and self-assured expression on his face.

He can't get involved in legal matters, but public opinion... isn't this just walking into a trap?

However, Takeshi Ono also understands the principle that "it only takes a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them." Now that the Toriumi Foundation has taken the lead in smearing Motoko Kawaguchi, it is not enough to simply clear her name if you want to turn the situation around.

This actually pleased the Toriumi Group, who were eager for someone to speak out and stir up trouble, so they could make things even more complicated.

The public doesn't actually have that strong ability to distinguish right from wrong; sometimes, so-called public opinion is just parroting what others say.

In this regard, as long as the Tokai Group is willing to spend money, it is not difficult to confuse the public.

It takes two to tango!

"Putting aside the facts, doesn't Motoko Kawaguchi bear any responsibility in this matter?"

"It's only natural for a man to be angry after being humiliated like this!"

"..."

By using such specious yet highly inflammatory nonsense, they portrayed Haruki Toriumi as a "victim" in order to gain public sympathy and thus reduce his sentence.

This is the goal of the Chokai Foundation!

To counter this, simply relying on dry rebuttals and clarifications will obviously be ineffective.

Only things that are more direct and persuasive can truly have an effect, or even reverse the situation.

And coincidentally, Ono Takeshi had just that.

That is--

Movie!

That's right, Takeshi Onino plans to directly shoot a movie about it.

What could be more vivid than a "living" image?
With his influence, he could easily create a movie-going frenzy, which would be far more widespread and powerful than any newspaper or television broadcast.

As for what kind of movie to make, Takeshi Ono already has a draft in mind.

Since this case is being called Conan's version of "Missing Her," let's just make a film of the original.

The original film, "The Vanished," ultimately grossed over 35 billion yuan, making it a remarkable work and adding another significant chapter to the resume of the scumbag Cheng.

Although the scumbag is indeed a scoundrel, it must be admitted that he is very capable. This movie combines artistry and commercial appeal quite well, and the various elements are also well integrated.

The creative formula of "exotic setting + suspense + crime" not only aligns with people's general desire to return to mass entertainment, but also firmly grasps the psychological motivation and values ​​of young people who gain a sense of control by solving the film's many mysteries.

From the perspective of genre films, this film possesses all the characteristics of a suspense film.

It features complex characters, detailed foreshadowing, unexpected twists, mind-bending logic, and a chilling aftertaste; most importantly, it has profound themes.

That exploration and delving into human nature is truly remarkable.

Without a doubt, this is an excellent film.

More importantly, the plot is extremely well-suited to this case.

Both are scumbag husbands who "murdered their wives," both feigned innocence, and both are extremely dark and foul-smelling souls.

If this movie were made, the audience would surely understand that it is a reflection of reality.

With its excellent content and the male protagonist's outrageous behavior, the film is bound to evoke empathy from the audience, stripping away the scumbag's disguise and exposing his true colors to the light of day!
This will completely condemn that scumbag to the pillar of shame!

All the rumors will then fall apart on their own!

After listening to Takeshi Ono's brief explanation of the film, Kogoro Mouri and the others immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.

This is practically a carbon copy of reality!
Takeshi Ono is truly amazing to be able to conceive such a wonderful film based on reality in such a short time.

The idea of ​​using movies to guide public opinion is a stroke of genius!

Ran Mouri was overjoyed, and as a result, public opinion would inevitably shift to a more favorable position.

This film might not have achieved the same impact if it had been directed by another director, but Takeshi Onino... his reputation as Japan's number one director is well-deserved!
No one doubts Ono Takeshi's appeal!

No one had any objections to this idea, and the matter was settled.

Kogoro Mouri and others even offered to participate for free, in order to help seek justice for Motoko Kawaguchi.

Given their fame and influence, this will undoubtedly be another bombshell in the media.

Oni no Takeshi naturally wouldn't refuse.

……

With only a month until the trial, time was of the essence, so Ono Takeshi stayed up all night and spent a whole day and night writing the script.

At a subsequent command, Guiye Pictures quickly set up the film crew.

Fortunately, Ghost Wild Pictures now has complete standards and procedures, making them very familiar with the process. With the production team in place, the next step is to select the actors.

There are five main characters in this movie.

Haruki Ito, a male protagonist who is just as scummy as Haruki Toriumi.

The wife, the wealthy heiress Kawaguchi Kiko (Ito Kiko), who was killed by the male protagonist.

Rei Kujo, a fake lawyer, orchestrates everything to avenge her best friend.

The fake Kawaguchi Kiko, who impersonates Kujo Rei's wife to help her take revenge.

Kengo Akechi, the fake detective investigating the disappearance of Kiko Kawaguchi.

The first two confirmed actors were Rei Kujo and Kengo Akechi, who were then cast as Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri, respectively, as they were essentially playing themselves.

The two had no objections and readily agreed.

For the other female lead, the fake Kawaguchi Kiko, Eri Kisaki suggested someone—Yukiko Kudo!

Oni Takeshi's eyes lit up.

The role of fake Kawaguchi Kiko is undoubtedly a great test of acting skills. It is difficult for ordinary actors to accurately grasp and master it, but Kudo Yukiko is naturally a piece of cake.

Moreover, this international film star has a versatile style, capable of being both sweet and sassy, ​​so portraying such a "femme fatale" would surely be a piece of cake for her.

More importantly, it's a perfect gimmick!
This is Yukiko Kudo's first movie in a long time, and she's playing the lead role, even if it's just one of the roles. But this news is enough to set the whole of Japan on fire.

With Eri Kisaki joining the cast, the two former "Teitan Princesses" reappearing on screen are sure to be the death of middle-aged and elderly men!

Moreover, Ono Takeshi had an idea: since that's the case, why not go all out!
Let's just invite Yusaku Kudo along too!

It would be perfect to have him play Haruki Ito.

The thought of the reunion of the "Two Princesses of Teitan" and the "Teitan Twins" fills Takeshi Ono with excitement and anticipation.

Without delay, I immediately called Mr. and Mrs. Kudo.

The Kudo couple, who were still in America, were initially surprised when they received the call, but after hearing the whole story, they were immediately furious.

How could there be such scum!

The two immediately shared a common hatred for the enemy!

No one with a conscience would forgive such a bastard.

When she learned that Eri Kisaki would also be in the role, Yukiko Kudo considered it for a moment and then immediately agreed.

Kudo Yusaku hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his wife's persistent pleading, and finally reluctantly agreed.

The two said they would fly back to Japan as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Ono Takeshi's lips curled into a smile.

With the addition of Yukiko Kudo and Yusaku Kudo, and given their fame, he could already imagine the sensation that would ensue after the news broke.

This is exactly the effect we wanted!
To ignite public opinion, the higher the buzz, the better!

Not content with just this one, Takeshi Ono contacted Reiko Akiba again, inviting her to play the role of the real Kawaguchi Kiko.

Among younger generations, Akiba Reiko's fame cannot compare to that of Yoko Okino, Akiko Kinoshita, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, but among the upper class, her popularity is unmatched.

Takeshi Onino wanted to make this film resonate with all levels of society.

As a woman, I naturally feel extremely disgusted and repulsed by people like Haruki Toriumi; this guy has incurred widespread anger.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Akiba Reiko readily agreed.

Anyway, it's just a cameo role, so the acting requirements aren't high, and she can definitely handle it.

With the main characters decided, the supporting roles are pretty much settled; they can be selected directly from within the company.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, upon hearing the news, both volunteered to make cameo appearances, and the two even brought along Masumi Sera.

At this point, the preliminary preparations have been basically completed.

Just looking at this cast list, it's absolutely luxurious.

In particular, the return of Yukiko Kudo and the first film appearance of Yusaku Kudo, a world-class mystery novelist, are undoubtedly blockbuster-level gimmicks.

Therefore, it was no surprise that the moment Oni-no-Yo Pictures announced the film's project and cast list to the public—

Public opinion exploded instantly!
