Chapter 198 The Man Who Ruined Everyone's Dreams

During this period, the Japanese film market can be said to be very exciting, with many talented people emerging and various types of films appearing one after another.

Often, you finish your performance and I take the stage, each of us leading the trend for more than 10 days.

But, in fact, just over a month ago, things were not like this.

Ayase Haruka knew very well how the Dark Knight at that time came into the world alone, swept away all the evil spirits and monsters, and dominated the box office rankings.

The movie "Legal Heroes" in which she starred was released on July 7, just four days earlier than The Dark Knight, which was almost a head-on encounter.

"Legal Heroes" is a TV series adapted into a movie.

This is the most popular film production model in Japan in recent years, which is to turn a TV series with good ratings into a movie.

The film stars Matsu Takako, Kimura Takuya, and Abe Hiroshi.

Without a doubt, they are all Japan's current top popular movie stars.

Ayase Haruka can only be considered the third female role in the movie.

As a result, the movie was released less than a month ago and was taken off the screen with a box office of more than 2 million yen. For a movie like "Legal Heroes" that has many superstars and a certain fan base, this result can't be described as bad, it can only be said to have fallen into the gutter.

Especially on the day when The Dark Knight's box office exceeded 200 billion yen
The director, producer and a group of actors got together for a small drink.

Producer Hinata Fumiji cried and got drunk at the party, slapped himself more than ten times, and said it was all his fault because he had set the wrong release time.

I originally thought it was just a Batman sequel, no big deal, it just happened to clash in release dates. Anyway, the prequel, Batman Begins, didn't make any splash in the Japanese market.

But how do you know
The man in his 50s, usually very dignified and serious, cried like a child at the dinner table.

It took a long time of persuasion for him to stop crying.

Ayase Haruka remembered that Abe Hiroshi raised his wine glass and said with great pride: "Everyone cheer up, it's not unfair for us to lose this time!"

"It's not just us. Every movie in the world would fail miserably in front of it. Come on, let's raise our glasses and show the magnanimity of us Japanese. Cheers~~~~~JOKERRRR!"

This made a lot of sense, and the red-eyed producer cheered up and said with everyone:
"Cheers to JOKER!"

Everyone first raised their glasses together and roared.

Then, at the suggestion of Takuya Kimura, he toasted a glass of wine to the director of the film, Christopher Lorrain.

Then, some people started crying.

"Wow, I still feel so unwilling."

"Hey, everyone is like that. But what can we do? We have already tried our best!"

"Yes, Miss Takako hasn't been home for half a month, and Mr. Kimura and Mr. Abe have been running around in various movie theaters in Honshu. Everyone is at a loss."

"Is this what it feels like to be completely defeated?"

".Don't be discouraged, everyone. We just lost to an impossible opponent. There is nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Yes! Ms. Matsu Takako is right. Everyone cheer up. We must make better movies in the future. If we meet again, we must wash away today's shame. Everyone, let's cheer together!"

With the encouragement from Mr. Hiroshi Abe, Ms. Takako Matsu and Mr. Takuya Kimura, everyone at the party finally perked up and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, they talked about their future plans.

The failure of a movie can really affect many people's lives.

In this large crew, Ayase Haruka heard many people talking about how, because this movie failed at the box office, they had not received any new roles for the time being, and thus became one of the unemployed.

Some of them are ready to give up their dreams of living in the Tokyo circle and are ready to leave and return to their hometowns to get married and have children.

Everyone in the crew kept talking, crying, laughing, and drinking until after 2 a.m., when most people were drunk.

Ayase Haruka, who had a good alcohol tolerance, was also a little tipsy. With the help of her agent, she was preparing to get up and go home.

At this moment, the film director Masayuki Suzuki, the middle-aged man who Ayase Haruka had never seen angry on the set, suddenly slammed the beer bottle on the table.

It made a very loud noise.

Many sleepy people were suddenly awakened.

"Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh." Suzuki Masayuki held the words in his throat for a long time.

Finally, he used up all his strength, with veins exposed and a ferocious face, and roared:

"JOKERAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

His tearful roar became the final silhouette of that party, deeply engraved in Ayase Haruka's memory.

Prior to this, Ayase Haruka had not gone to the cinema to watch The Dark Knight in order not to increase box office revenue for her competitors.

The next day, she went to see it.

After watching the movie, Ayase Haruka almost didn't sleep well the whole night.

The next day, I looked through all the information about Chen Nuo that I could find on the Internet.

In the afternoon, she went to the DVD store and bought the Blu-ray discs of "If Love" and "The House of Dumb" released in Japan. Unfortunately, the Blueberry Nights, which she was most looking forward to, was not on the market yet.

However, these two movies were enough for her to understand her opponent.

Especially the first one, which is said to be the debut film made when the person was 18 years old.
He played a disguised mute and spoke almost no lines in the entire movie.

She saw someone comment on 2ch that this movie does not need subtitles or dubbing, and you only need to listen to one line of its dialogue from beginning to end.

It was the roar that Chen Nuojun made on the hillside.

If you understand what I say, you will also understand this movie.

Ayase Haruka read it and felt that what the man said was really right.

So the other two times, she simply turned off the subtitles and watched the original Chinese audio.

She even learned to read two Chinese characters, Xiaozhu.

Afterwards, she read If Love Again. While reading, she paused the video and stared at the profile of the man flipping through the book for a long time.

This was not enough, so she started looking for videos online.

She watched not only the press conference in Tokyo, Japan, but also the Chinese interviews in China that were translated and uploaded to 2ch.

Ayase Haruka is determined to defeat the Chinese man who ruined everyone's dreams. One day, she will defeat him with her acting skills.

Because she had a hunch that this time would not be the last time they would meet in a box office showdown.

Although, she didn't know how to fight such a monster.

The gap in acting is really despairing.

She was so desperate that she even felt that this person was from another planet, out of her reach.

Therefore, Ayase Haruka never expected that she would see him on the show "Human World Observer".

At this moment, he was like a pedestrian on the side of the road, so real and so close to her.

That mouth, that chin, that jaw, the shape of the face, and the body shape. Ayase Haruka thought she couldn't be wrong.

Especially when the three people in the camera entered the store and sat down... How could ordinary people enter the store without taking off their sunglasses?

After thinking about it, she couldn't help it. While others were discussing Miyazawa Eri,
She felt that as a guest, she had the responsibility to tell the program team about her discoveries.

This is a live broadcast after all.

What if the production team fails to discover his identity and something goes wrong?
While the camera in the studio was not shooting her, Ayase Haruka raised her hand high.

The host Ryuichi Kosugi saw this action, and several other guests saw it too, but they remained calm and continued to complain and make jokes, talking about the two men and one woman who had entered the restaurant to prepare to eat.

When Naoki Takizawa saw Ayase Haruka's actions in the director's room, he was shocked.

Again, the nationwide live broadcast is now being carried out online and offline.

If any broadcasting accident occurs at this time, in a strict company like TBS, everyone from top to bottom will be held accountable.

"Cut off Haruka-chan's audio and connect her voice to the director's room immediately. I want to talk to her."

A few seconds later, Takizawa Naoki said anxiously into the microphone: "Haruka-chan, what's the matter? Speak softly now. I can hear you."

Ayase Haruka hesitated.

The cowardly side of the Japanese character came to the fore again.

What if I saw it wrong?
What if I have been bewitched by that person for some time and everyone looks like him?
What if my suspicion causes unnecessary trouble to the program crew?
But Naiyao is not an ordinary woman with big breasts and no brains. In the end, she decided to trust her own judgment.

You can't be wrong.
His stills in The Dumb are now her computer desktop. Ayase Haruka is confident that she will never make a mistake with his face shape.

Ayase Haruka whispered into the microphone: "Mr. Long Yi, the man wearing sunglasses seems to be Chen Nuojun."

The two words "Chen Nuo" are pronounced as "Chin No" in Japanese, which is very unique and very strange. Naoki Takizawa didn't understand it at first and didn't understand what Ayase Haruka was talking about at all.

After all, there is no connection between the actor who plays JOKER and a passerby who eats at a pork chop restaurant in Shinjuku, Japan.

However, Ayase Haruka immediately added: "It's Chen Nuo-san who plays JOKER."

In Naoki Takizawa's ears, this sentence was like a thunderclap, shaking him whole, "What? Haruka-chan, you said that the man in sunglasses is JOKER!?"

"Yes, I was not mistaken, it's him." Ayase Haruka said.

Naoki Takizawa pulled off the headset and spoke quickly to those around him, "Quick, quick, check if there's any news about the actor who plays JOKER, Chen Nuojun from China. Also, ask the people at Narita Airport if he's arrived in Tokyo early to attend the film festival."

As soon as he gave the order, everyone in the studio's heads suddenly buzzed.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then the idle employees started screaming and immediately checked the Internet or started calling people from all walks of life to see if there was any definite news.

An employee who was operating the equipment pushed the lens of the hidden camera of the production team and focused it on the face of the man in sunglasses, while shouting: "Takizawa-kun, you are right! I have seen the video of him getting angry at the press conference, and I recognized him, it's him! It's JOKER!"

The people who recognized Chen Nuo were not just this TBS employee, nor just Ayase Haruka.

In fact, the moment Chen Nuo appeared in the camera, a small-scale discussion began in the TBS live broadcast room.

Everyone was wondering why Eri Miyazawa looked so similar to Rie Miyazawa in the camera.
Suddenly, a man named Fujisanzhixue said, "Gentlemen, this person looks like Chen Nuojun. I don't know if I am seeing things."

Another user named Xiao A from Aichi immediately replied: "Ah, that's what I was going to say, they really do look a bit alike. Especially his chin, it seems that no Japanese has this European and American face shape."

The conversation between the two people was quickly brought to the fore because someone posted Miyazawa Rie's family information, which showed that she did have a younger sister.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.
Someone suddenly asked again: "Fuji Mountain Snow, who is the Chen Nuojun you just mentioned? Is he from our country? It must be amazing to be able to go shopping in Shinjuku with the little sister of the Miyazawa family."

Fujisan Snow seemed to be watching the live broadcast closely and responded quickly: "Have you seen "The Dark Knight" recently?"

"I've seen it."

Snow on Mount Fuji: "The actor who plays JOKER in the film is Chen Nuojun."

Another person named Tokyo Lion laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I know who Chen Nuojun is, but he is Chinese. How could he be in Shinjuku?"

Snow on Mount Fuji: "Since you know him, don't you know that he will come to the Tokyo Film Festival?"

When Fujisanzhixue mentioned Chen Nuo before, the reaction of the people in the live broadcast room was the same as when Takizawa Naoki first heard Ayase Haruka say it. They had no idea who this person was at all.

However, this time, when the word JOKER came out, everyone immediately connected the two names together.

"What? This tall man is a JOKER?"

“Isn’t JOKER an American?”

"How could this person be JOKER? He looks no more than 20 years old."

"JOKER is not American, he is Chinese."

"How is that possible! He doesn't even look Asian in the movie!"

"Yes, with JOKER's body shape and appearance, there is no way he could be Chinese."

Fujisan no Yuki: "You guys, don't you ever pay attention to entertainment news? Some time ago, the actor who played JOKER, Chen Nuojun, went to Tokyo for a day of promotion. I watched the video online and he is indeed a genuine Chinese. Moreover, he really looks like this man."

Little A from Aichi: "But to know if it's Chen Nuojun or not, we need him to take off his sunglasses. Maybe we are all wrong."

Snow on Mount Fuji: "Yes. But I think that this time, the Human Observation program team may have picked up a gold ingot on the roadside."

In fact, at this time, Takizawa Naoki's views on the snow on Mount Fuji were 99% consistent with his ideas.

However, there is a difference between Naoki Takizawa and him. Naoki Takizawa is a little worried. This gold ingot is not placed on the roadside.
Instead, it will fall from the sky and eventually hit him on the head, causing him to break his head and bleed.

Because Japanese broadcasting programs pay great attention to personal privacy.

During their live broadcast, if they film passers-by after they leave the camera, the program team will give them a substantial commission in exchange for them signing a performance consent form.

For ordinary people, they may only need to pay 10 or 20 pills to get such a letter of consent.

But if the person who accidentally broke into the program's recording location was really Chen Nuo, the actor who played the clown, how much would he have to pay in exchange for such a letter of consent?

If the other party disagrees, and they broadcast his face during the live broadcast, how much money will he and TBS TV station have to pay to end the future lawsuit for infringement of celebrity portrait rights?
The safest approach at this time would be to switch the camera to the studio first, and let the on-site program crew communicate with the person suspected to be JOKER, and then start filming after obtaining consent.

However, Naoki Takizawa was unwilling to give up.

What a great show effect!
Looking at the ratings curve in front of him that was already showing a slight upward trend, Naoki Takizawa made up his mind suddenly.

"Connect me gakki!"

When the voice came from the headphones, Yui Aragaki was wondering why she had to wait so long this time.

After hearing the instructions, she felt even more strange.

"Gakki, find a chance to take off the sunglasses on that man's face!"

What! Yui Aragaki couldn't believe her ears. Isn't this too rude?

But the voice in the headset was firm and did not allow her to refuse: "Gakki, I am Naoki Takizawa. I don't want you to do this suddenly after you get there, but to look for an opportunity, understand? Okay, I believe you won't let us down, let's go now, the camera will be given to you immediately!"
