Sampo Hong, producer of Takashi Miike, came to China to shoot action comedy for the first time

Japanese film master Takashi Miike is in China and will collaborate with Sampo Hong to shoot an action comedy for the first time. It is expected to start in April and May next year.

Recently, Japanese film master Takashi Miike came to China and officially announced that he would direct a mainland action comedy for the first time. The film is produced by Jinbao Hong. This is the first collaboration between Jinbao Hong and Takashi Miike, two senior filmmakers. It can be said to be a collision, two heroes, and infinite possibilities.

Takashi Miike said that he had "grown up" watching Teacher Jinbao Hong's works since he was a child."When I was in elementary school, I had been exposed to many of his excellent film and television works. At first, I was just an audience, and later, after becoming a creator, I feel it is a great honor to have such an opportunity for cooperation."

Sheng Yubin, the producer who has created "The Twin Cities Trap" and "Quick Hand Shooter", facilitated the cooperation between Jinbao Hong and Takashi Miike. He also revealed that the film's cast team will be dominated by China, with Japanese actors Ogriu and Takuya Kimura also under consideration. The project is now in the script polishing stage and is expected to start in April and May next year.

Miike, who has always regarded Sampo Hong as his first film teacher, said that this cooperation gave him the urge to be a newcomer and also gave him new stimulation. Regarding whether his violent style will affect his creation in China, Takashi Miike admitted that this is not a problem: "I generally don't do such a shooting method that blindly involves meaningless violence, or violence for the sake of violence. It is still necessary to show the character in the work, how can he escape and resist from the environment, to express the rationality of the story and at the same time show the beauty of violence." As for the cultural differences between China and Japan, Miike believes that as long as you spend some time slowly understanding them, this difference will give birth to some very interesting works.

Hong Jinbao: You can't be too visually violent.

Brother Hong Jinbao is the producer of the film this time. Big Brother revealed that after seeing the first draft of the script, he and producer Sheng Yubin began to find a good director who could control the film. It was only after the film company had repeated communication, visited Japan twice and visited Japan many times that the cooperation was finally confirmed. It is reported that a large part of the reason for being able to invite Takashi Miike is still because of his eldest brother's producer status and the excitement of the first draft of the script.

Talking about this cooperation, Big Brother said that everyone is still in the stage of further development of the script. On the one hand, he hopes to be as close as possible to China culture so that the domestic audience can accept and resonate; on the other hand, he wants to let good directors give full play to their own styles and characteristics.

Regarding the overall style of the film, Big Brother believes that it can give the audience the feeling of violence, but it cannot make people feel too violent visually, which is hindering comedy. How to be creative in action scenes is also crucial. Making movies must be done based on the acceptance and recognition of the audience.

Sheng Yubin: Sheng Yubin, the producer who was mainly Chinese

to promote the filming of Sanchi Chongshi in China, has previously produced "Two Cities Trap" and "Quick Hand Shooter", which are two works that emphasize wisdom and black humor in Chinese action films. Regarding the joint creation of Takashi Miike and Hong Jinbao, Sheng Yubin said,"One is an international director and the other represents China's traditional martial arts. Putting these two people together will definitely create some sparks. Moreover, Director Michi appreciates China Kung Fu very much. He said that he likes three people in China very much: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jinbao Hung. He has always wanted to have a cooperation with representatives of China Kung Fu. This opportunity makes him very excited."

Sheng Yubin finally revealed that the film was jointly produced by Beijing Dasheng Legend Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Ili Dasheng Legend Pictures. It is still in the stage of in-depth polishing of the script and is expected to start in April and May next year. The actor team is dominated by the Chinese side. Big Japanese actors such as Ogriu, who collaborated with Takashi Miike in "Hot Blood College", and Takuya Kimura, who has collaborated with "Infinite Residents", are also considered. However, whether it is a young man or a veteran actor, the actors will be selected based on the needs of the script."The director has very strict requirements for filming, and the actors must give sufficient time and cooperation. If you can't understand the lines and the script and recite the lines on the spot, these are unacceptable."
