Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 536 A Horror Version of Hannibal? Oni Takeshi's Hesitation Leads to a Change of Cast!

In order to obtain information about serial killer Buffalo Bill, FBI trainee agent Clarice has to try to enter the prison and communicate with Hannibal Lecter, the legendary most terrifying and ruthless cannibal.

In hopes of obtaining useful clues from this bigwig in the criminal underworld.

Before she entered the prison, the staff who led her in repeatedly told her that she must not touch the glass outside the cell, that she could only pass soft paper, and that she must not bring pencils or ballpoint pens, among many other taboos.

Because she was about to face Hannibal, who was extremely terrifying, extremely dangerous, and extremely cruel!
When a nervous and anxious Clarice cautiously entered the cell, the first thing she saw was a large piece of tempered glass with only a few small holes for ventilation.

This immediately sent a chill down her spine.

This also proves from another perspective just how dangerous the criminals imprisoned there are.

You can't be too careful.

This made Clarice's heart jump.

As she moved forward, her gaze shifted to the scene inside the glass, and in an instant, a terrifying gaze that made her blood almost freeze suddenly shot out and met her eyes.

Clarisse's breath hitched, as if an incredibly heavy boulder had been placed on her heart!

Only then did she see the person inside the glass clearly—

He wore a gray prison uniform and had a tall stature, but what was most terrifying was his face, which looked like a demon from hell!

fear!

Almost the instant their eyes met, an intense fear welled up from the depths of Clarice's heart, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain that the person inside must be the infamous cannibalistic maniac Hannibal!

The other person didn't speak, but just one look from them brought her a great sense of oppression and intimidation, causing the fear in her heart to explode like a bomb!
For a moment, Clarice was speechless.

Their eyes met, and an eerie silence fell over the room.

"Card!"

The first shot ends here.

"Whoo~"

A collective exhale immediately rang out from the crowd.

Many people had expressions of lingering fear on their faces.

Even Curaçao's expression relaxed for a fleeting moment.

He couldn't help but glance at Oni Takeshi in front of him with a strange look.

Is this guy really a film director? Why do I feel more pressured in front of him than when I'm with Rum?
In the end, it can only be attributed to the other party's "unique" good looks and superb acting skills.

Everyone else also praised Oni Takeshi's acting skills, partly as flattery and partly out of genuine feeling.

To be able to intimidate the entire audience with just a glance without saying a word is no exaggeration when it comes to outstanding acting skills.

However, they soon noticed that the supervisor, who was looking at the footage, had his brow furrowed again.

Oni no Takeshi remained silent.

He exudes an undeniable aura of power and intimidation on camera, befitting a deranged serial killer, but he lacks the restraint that Hannibal Lecter is known for.

This makes Takeshi Onino's version a bit too terrifying, quite different from the original Mads Mikkelsen portrayal by Anthony Hopkins, who instilled fear through language and psychology.

Show off your edge!

However, it lacks a certain understated depth.

It is just as intimidating, but it lacks the wisdom to see through people's hearts and the cunning of a seasoned veteran.

Although Takeshi Ono believes his acting skills are not bad, and compared to the "simple" actor Anthony Hopkins, he doesn't need to experience the "feeling of killing".

This is something that is very easy for me, and I can convey it perfectly.

That's why he intimidated everyone else with just a glance.

The "killing aura" that he naturally exuded was something that ordinary people couldn't withstand. However, the difference in his outward appearance gave the characters he played a completely different feel.

While others were still praising his acting skills, Takeshi Ono himself felt a little hesitant.

Others might not know, but Oni no Takeshi himself always felt that something was missing.

Hannibal shouldn't be portrayed like this.

Can this version of Hannibal become the classic that everyone expects, just like the original?

For the first time, Ono Takeshi felt uncertain and realized that his decision to take on this role rashly was somewhat ill-considered.

He only considered acting skills, but neglected the fit of his image.

A key element of the success of "The Silence of the Lambs" lies in the character of Hannibal Lecter; if anything were to happen to him, the film would lose its luster.

This is something Ono Takeshi doesn't want to see.

Finally, after careful consideration, Onitake announced a surprising decision to everyone—

Filming plans changed!

Film the scenes without Hannibal first!
Others didn't know why he made this decision; since he was the supervisor, they just listened to whatever he said. But Ono Takeshi understood that he had hesitated.

It turns out that I don't seem to be suitable for the role of Hannibal. Should I continue playing the role?

Perhaps with his acting skills, he could eventually create another Hannibal who is completely different and no less impressive, but Takeshi Ono can't get past his own mental hurdle.

Unlike the others in the Conan world, Oni no Takeshi, who already had a preconceived notion, believed that Hannibal should be an image that combined elegance and cruelty, profundity and wisdom.

It seems that he cannot create such an image.

This has nothing to do with acting skills; it's purely a difference in innate physical attributes.

Just like the legendary master Ip Man, if you replaced him with Mike Tyson, it would be a complete subversion of the image; at least Takeshi Ono himself couldn't accept it.

But what should we do next?
Are they going to replace the actor?
But where can we find someone who fits the image of Hannibal and also has outstanding acting skills in such a short time?
Oni no Takeshi went through all the actors in the entertainment industry in his mind, but couldn't find a suitable one.

This put Takeshi Ono in a dilemma.

For the sake of the film's quality, he considered replacing the actor, but he had no idea who to find to replace him.

Fortunately, there is still time, and it is not uncommon for actors to be replaced at the last minute during filming.

Takeshi Ono then temporarily put aside his thoughts and focused on the upcoming film shooting.

They searched for suitable candidates while filming.

If there really isn't one, then Takeshi Onino himself will have to step in and present a completely different Hannibal to the audience of the Conan world.

No one else in the crew objected to Ono Takeshi's decision, except for Kazato Kyosuke, whose face showed a hint of disappointment.

Because of his role as Hannibal Lecter's psychiatrist, Kyosuke Kazato also served as a filming consultant for "The Silence of the Lambs," essentially receiving two salaries.

But his mind wasn't on that.

Kyosuke Kazato had originally hoped to use this opportunity to interact more with Takeshi Onino and win his favor, but now that Hannibal's scenes are not being filmed, he has lost his chance to use his skills.

They also lost the opportunity to contact and curry favor with Oni Takeshi.

This made Kyosuke Kazato feel very frustrated.

Ono Takeshi had no time to deal with this guy. Half a month had passed, and there hadn't been too many problems with filming. Curaçao was indeed the top undercover agent for the brewery, and his acting skills were beyond question.

But Oni no Takeshi's mood did not feel relieved as a result.

Because he still hasn't been able to find a suitable actor to play Hannibal.

Who should we contact?

Just as Ono Takeshi was worrying about this, a sudden message reached his ears...
