Chapter 441: Exploding Popularity! Filming Begins, Kudo Couple on Camera
"Takeshi Oni's new work is coming soon!"

"Following Ju-on and New World, Takeshi Oni is once again taking on a suspenseful crime film!"

"The legendary actress makes her official comeback, with Yukiko Fujimine taking on the lead role again after 17 years!"

"A mystery novel master's first foray into acting, a boon for millions of fans!"

"Kudo and his wife will co-star in Oni no Takeshi's new movie, and more than 10,000 fans gathered at Oni no Cinema on the day of the announcement!"

"Yusaku Kudo? Yukiko Fujimine? Takeshi Ono has played a trump card this time!"

"The 'Sleeping Kogoro' and the 'Invincible Queen of the Legal World' husband-and-wife team are online; are their years of separation just rumors?"

"The two 'Teitan Princesses' from back then reunite on screen. Who is the real 'Queen' now?"

"According to insiders, 'The Vanished Woman' is suspected of alluding to Haruki Toriumi's wife-murder case..."

"..."

The fact that Takeshi Ono is preparing to shoot a new movie is already big news that attracts a lot of attention. When Ono Pictures announced that the lead actors would be the Kudo couple and the Mori couple, the public opinion exploded!

"Sleeping Kogoro" and "The Undefeated Queen of the Legal World" are already renowned celebrities with many fans.

And the Kudo couple goes without saying.

Both Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo are figures whose works are popular all over the world and whose fans are all over the globe.

Their traffic surpassed that of the Mori couple.

Add to that the hype surrounding Yusaku Kudo's first foray into acting and Yukiko Kudo's comeback, and it's practically a bombshell announcement.

Not to mention this is a film by Takeshi Onino, whose appeal and popularity are undeniable.

Therefore, it immediately sparked nationwide discussion as soon as it was disclosed, with all sorts of real-time news and rumors flying around.

The news overshadowed all other celebrity news and undeniably made the front page of major newspapers and magazines.

Fans of the Kudo couple and the Mori couple spread the news and were overjoyed at the prospect of their idols' appearance.

Countless middle-aged men over thirty were moved to tears. The previous "E.T." was just a fleeting glimpse, but now they have finally waited for the moment when Yukiko Kudo officially returned to the screen. Tears welled up in their eyes!
Some alumni who were in the same grade as the four girls at Teitan High School reminisced about the past glory of the "Teitan Twin Princesses" and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

In addition, there are rumors that Takeshi Onino's new movie is suspected of alluding to Haruki Toriumi's wife murder case.

The latter is already a hot social issue that has attracted much attention, and Ono Takeshi's move is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Countless people have expressed their high expectations for this movie, and it has already topped the charts in terms of popularity even before filming has started!

People in the entertainment industry: ...

That's Takeshi Onino! How terrifying!
However, some critics argue that Onitake's film is simply riding the coattails of the hype, that the names of the male and female leads are too suggestive, and that a film produced in such a rushed manner is bound to be of poor quality.

However, these voices were quickly drowned out by the massive support from fans, and did not cause any stir.

To reiterate, before any setbacks occur, the public's confidence in Takeshi Ono remains unwavering!
……

After having the information leaked, Ono Takeshi paid no further attention to it.

The heated discussions it sparked were all within his expectations.

And that was his goal.

As for the rumor that "The Vanished Woman" alludes to Haruki Toriumi's wife-murder case, it was naturally spread by Takeshi Ono in secret.

The Toriumi Foundation reacted quickly, but unfortunately they underestimated Takeshi Onino's influence.

The entertainment industry is his territory; when it comes to influence and public opinion, everyone else is a nobody.

However, the Toriumi Foundation did not contact him, which showed their composure. Since that was the case, Ono Takeshi didn't bother to pay any more attention and focused his energy on filming the movie.

He had just picked up Mr. and Mrs. Kudo at the airport, and to show his respect, he personally greeted them.

On the way, the two talked about the movie. The Kudo couple first praised the script of "The Vanished Woman" highly, and then both of them said that they would do their best to follow Ono Takeshi's instructions.

Neither of them took on the film for fame or fortune; it was entirely to ensure that Haruki Toriumi, that scumbag, received the punishment he deserved.

Ono Takeshi expressed his gratitude for the two people's help.

"Director Onino, you don't need to be so polite. We were just doing what we could to prevent a criminal from getting away with it. Compared to that, Director Onino, your righteous action, even at the risk of offending the Toriumi Group, is truly admirable!"

Kudo Yusaku spoke with righteous indignation, and towards the end, he couldn't help but look at Oni no Takeshi with admiration.

At this point, he had no doubt that Oni Takeshi was involved with the Black Organization. What organization member could do such a chivalrous thing as "helping those in need"?

Yukiko Kudo chimed in agreement.

It was because of her sense of justice that she resolutely returned to play the lead role.

The two's attitude pleased Ono Takeshi greatly; as expected of Shinichi Kudo's parents, their character was indeed impeccable.

Because of the tight schedule and heavy workload, the three of them didn't say much. After letting the Kudo couple adjust to the time difference, they rushed to the film set the next day.

"I hereby announce that filming for 'The Vanished She' has officially begun!"

With a single command from Ono Takeshi!
……

Izu.

Bird Arrow Town.

Takeshi Ono directed the crew to complete the preparations.

The original version of "The Vanished" is set in Thailand.

The story revolves around He Fei, a young Chinese man whose wife, Li Muzi, mysteriously disappears during their wedding anniversary trip. Just as He Fei is searching in vain, a mysterious woman claiming to be his wife suddenly appears. He Fei insists the stranger is not his wife, but she produces an ID card and other evidence to prove she is indeed Li Muzi.

Things began to become increasingly complicated, and the truth behind it was even more chilling...

The film is adapted from the Soviet film "The Bachelor's Trap," and many of its plot points are drawn from relevant social issues, such as the "Thai pregnant woman falling off a cliff" and the "Indonesian couple murder case."

Takeshi Onino's version doesn't need to go through all that trouble to go to Thailand to film; the scenes can be set in China, and the main characters have been changed to Japanese.

As for the prototype, it's not a big problem; it can be considered as Onino Takeshi's original work.

At that moment, Takeshi Ono was setting up camera positions in a guesthouse room.

As a popular tourist destination, Izu has many hotels and guesthouses that meet the requirements.

In the end, Oni no Takeshi chose Toriya Town.

This place is famous for its soft, fine white sand beach, making it a perfect location for filming.

And there just happens to be a white lighthouse here, just like the one in the story.

The first scene filmed was the opening scene of the movie, where Haruki Ito wakes up from his sleep and is shocked to find a sexy and alluring woman in red lying next to him, who claims to be his missing wife.

"On your marks, Action!"

At Ono Takeshi's command, the cameraman pointed the lens at the two people lying on the bed.

The show begins!
Yusaku Kudo, playing Haruki Ito, opened his eyes with a slightly bewildered expression, then sat up and prepared to get out of bed.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.

Turning his head, he was shocked to find a curvaceous woman lying beside him, dressed in a red dress, her fair skin and charming face full of allure.

A look of surprise appeared on Haruki Ito's face. He didn't feel any attraction; instead, a chill ran down his spine.

Waking up to find a strange woman lying next to you is a terrifying thought.

"W-who are you?!"

Haruki Ito asked in astonishment, his face showing just the right amount of shock and confusion.

Seeing this, Takeshi Ono, who was behind the monitor, nodded secretly. Yusaku Kudo's acting skills were surprisingly good.

No wonder she was able to cooperate with Yukiko Kudo to impersonate someone from the brewery and fool her own son so completely that he almost peed his pants in fear.

The role of Haruki Ito (He Fei) is actually a real test of acting skills, and the original actor Zhu Yilong played it very well.

Ono Takeshi had already prepared himself. As long as Kudo Yusaku's acting was passable, it wouldn't matter if he didn't reach Zhu Yilong's level, as long as the audience wasn't pulled out of the story.

But to my surprise, the other party gave me a huge surprise.

He displayed extraordinary acting skills in just one shot.

Although Kudo Yusaku's performance is slightly less nuanced than that of a professional actor like Zhu Yilong, his grasp of the character's psychology and state of mind is by no means inferior.

Moreover, he possesses an innate elegance that further aligns with the image of a refined beast.

Overall, both have their own merits.

Afterwards, Takeshi Ono asked Yusaku Kudo about it, and the latter humbly replied that he had simply been studying some books about acting while traveling in Hawaii and had nothing else to do.

Onino Takeshi:......

As expected of a vocational school in Hawaii, it truly encompasses everything!
Let’s get back to the present.

The opening two shots alone put Takeshi Ono at ease about Yusaku Kudo's acting skills.

He then focused his attention back on the monitor.

In the scene, a figure in red trembles slightly, accompanied by a fragrant breeze. Yukiko Kudo, playing the fake Kawaguchi Kiko, opens her eyes at the right moment, twists her slender waist, and sits up.

She raised her fair wrist and gently smoothed her downcast hair. This simple gesture was full of charm, instantly making the hearts of the men present race.

Oni Takeshi secretly clapped his hands. As expected of a genius legendary actress!
This is the feeling he wanted!

Alluring and sexy, irresistible, yet dangerous like a venomous snake.
At this moment, Yukiko Kudo was like a poisonous poppy. Before she even opened her mouth, she had already perfectly portrayed the image of a "femme fatale" through her body language and demeanor.

That's what you call professional!

Takeshi Ono was very satisfied with the performance of the Kudo couple, and the first scene ended very smoothly.

Kudo Yusaku only had one NG because he was unfamiliar with the camera, but he quickly performed no worse than a professional actor.

It just goes to show that smart people learn everything quickly.

Others also marveled at the performance of the Kudo couple.

The first scene was filmed smoothly, which was a good start, and the subsequent scenes were also completed quite smoothly.

Due to time constraints, Takeshi Ono sped up the filming process.

Fortunately, the crew members were all top talents in the industry, and they had worked with Takeshi Ono on several films, so the two sides cooperated very well.

Although Takeshi Ono was strict, he did not hold anyone back.

It went even more smoothly than expected.

Soon, a relatively important scene arrived...
