[Edit this paragraph] Summary
Although we are close, we can't meet. Although we miss each other, we can't wait for each other. The film tells an "impossible" love story that happened to a girl with dual personality.
Mina (played by Maki horikita) has a pen pal "Knight" who talks about everything since her parents died. However, Mina has never seen him, only knowing that he is a boy of the same age. Mina writes to tell Knight that she met the person she likes, that is, Axiu (played by Takuya Ishida) at her workplace. On the first date with Axiu, Mina suddenly lost consciousness. When she woke up, Axiu's attitude began to change somehow. It turns out that there is a hidden character in this relationship. ...
Behind the girl's lovely smile, there is still a dark figure lurking. Young people who have been struggling for their dreams, but have not yet worked. Because of the heroine's dual personality, a hazy love affair between two people began to develop in an incredible direction, and an unimaginable story of pure love was about to be staged. Although these elements of split personality are widely used in Japanese animation culture, they are also a test for Maki horikita's acting skills, which makes the previous films more difficult. In Tokyo Boy, a person plays two different roles. He wants to pretend to be a man who likes women's ego and participate in a complex emotion, that is, the complexity of Fujiki (Maki horikita), Night (the man himself) and Show (the boy who likes Fujiki).
[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes:
Maki horikita is undoubtedly one of the most popular new generation actresses in Japan. Since starring in the TV series "Money Dance of Mobile Phone Criminals" in 2003, Xinglu Road in the north has had a smooth journey and achieved good results in both film and television. With her outstanding performance in the nostalgic masterpiece "Sunset with Three Eyes Forever", she won the Japanese Academy Award for Newcomer, and then the high-rated youth idol drama "Boys and Girls in Flowers" made her popularity soar.
Interestingly, Horiba seems to have an indissoluble bond with men's wear. When people still remember Mi Zu Ki, a little girl who disguised as a man and entered a boarding boys' school in In the Mood for Love, Horibe actually dressed up as a boy while the iron was hot on the big screen.
The hero of Tokyo Boys is Minadou Fujiki, a girl with dual personality, who has feelings with her second personality-boys at night. Both the girl version of Minadou and the male version of Night will be played by Horiba, and it is said that there will be a climax scene of the female version and the male version kissing through the mirror at the end of the film.
The handling of the role of night is completely different from that of Mi Zu Ki. Horibe acted him completely like a boy. He tried his best to emphasize the characteristics of boys in all aspects, such as movements, gestures, ways of speaking, and even details such as eating apples were carefully planned.
The hardest part is the boyfriend show where Mina fights at night. Because Horibe has no similar experience at all, he doesn't know how to act. I finally took a look, because the actor opposite is a boy, and his strength is much greater than her. No matter how hard he pushes and pulls, the other party still doesn't move. This hard work is indescribable. After filming this scene, Hori's arm ached for several days.
Dan Yuduo, the producer of this film, heard that Andre spoke highly of Maki horikita and said that her acting skills in the film had made a leap forward. Regardless of whether the acting skills are accurate or not, in fact, the male version and the female version fall in love in the north, and the setting of writing a sad story of modern narcissus is enough to stimulate the nerves of fans and greatly attract attention.
Gold medal producers create new topics and determine the theme of sadness.
The origin of the film Tokyo Boy can be traced back to 2003. BS-i and BS Fuji collaborated on a program called "68 Movies", one of which was "Tokyo Girls/Tokyo Teenagers". This unit consists of nine short films, including three works featuring young girls and rising stars dressed as women. At that time, Horibe cooperated with Oguri Shun in the short film Yuan Ye, playing a cool juvenile delinquent. Dan Yuduo, the producer of these short films, heard that Andre has always retained the idea of an actress's men's wear. A few years later, he added other elements and performed it again, so there was the movie Tokyo Boy.
Andrew Tamon Niwa Andre is an experienced producer. He has produced 150 films and TV works. The three series of "Cell Phone Crime", "Love Sunday" and "Strange Stories in New Earbags" are his signature masterpieces. In the past three years, nine films released by Dan Yu have been profitable. At the same time, he is also famous for his eyes on newcomers. Besides Maki horikita, he also trained Aoi Miyazaki.
It is not easy to mass-produce film and television works with guaranteed quality under the condition of low budget, and Dan Yu is just familiar with this. He doesn't think this model can only make traditional b films. Using the same producer and actor and shooting according to certain procedures and rules, you can shoot beautiful blockbusters and quickly accumulate useful experience.
This film is also the product of Dan Yu's production technology. Almost all the important members of the entire film crew are acquaintances. Horibe has collaborated with Dan Yu for many times. Director Shunichi Hirano directed "Mobile Phone Crime Money Makes Love", and screenwriter Mutsuki Watanabe is also his old partner. Such a team is naturally efficient to operate, not to mention dealing with tragic themes with deep lethality.
Under the leadership of the shrewd Andrew Tamon Niwa Andre, Tokyo Boy has become a big topic before its release. The novel version released in June last year 165438+ 10, because it sold well two weeks later, the current sales volume has reached/kloc-0,000 copies.
[Edit this paragraph] Trivia
When Maki horikita and Takuya Ishida were filming a fight, they were so lifelike that some people thought there was a fight and called the police.
It is said that there must be a scene of the hero running in Andrew Tamon Niwa Andre's works, because Dan Yu thinks this is the best way to express his feelings, and this movie is no exception. The scene of running hard on a sad night seems short, but it took a long time. The director made Horibe run like a boy, and it took seven shots to succeed.
The film is called Tokyo Teenager, but it was filmed in Jiafu City, Yamanashi Prefecture because no suitable location was found in Tokyo. There are hills overlooking the city, full of realistic life breath and faint fantasy.
Takuya Ishida's debut novel "The Gate of Youth" was also directed by Shunichi Hirano. They can be regarded as old friends. During the filming of this film, director Ye Ping was very strict with Ishida, but once he left the scene, he became very kind. Every day after filming, he would invite Ishida to have dinner together and often chat late.
Tokyo Girl, which was shown half a month later than Tokyo Girl, was also produced by Andrew Tamon Niwa Andre. The content and cast of the two films are completely different, but the theme is "lovers who can't meet". In the modern story Tokyo Boy, the protagonist communicates through letters. However, in "Tokyo Girl" staged in Meiji era, it was the mobile phone that connected the protagonists. This scene reflects the extraordinary originality of the producer of Dan Yu.
