Netflix started in the United States, and its main business is to rent video discs. In recent years, he has also joined the trend of self-made web dramas and tried different routes. The theme of this attempt is: Combined with Japan's comic reforms, Rixing's relatively close to the people's remuneration, and the generous production of American dramas, and handed over a rather innovative work. Watching the Chinese translation of the premiere at station B, I learned that this is the largest production of Netflix Japan so far. Available in 190 countries around the world. From the NETFLIX website in the United States, there are English, Chinese, and Spanish subtitles to choose from, as well as the original Japanese or English dubbing, which is really convenient for audiences from all over the world.
Friends who haven't seen it can enjoy the preview first.
If you haven't read the original manga, I will comment on some personal opinions based on the episode. The introduction of the first episode is quite comprehensive, and I personally feel that the speed can be more compact. It feels a bit slow to introduce the background of the heroine in the fourth episode. If you start interspersed earlier, it will feel a little richer. Of course, this is not a drama, but I still hope that the characters will be more flesh and blood.
Whether it's the protagonist or the supporting role, the looks are very high. What is touching is that these handsome guys and beauties worked hard to restore the fighting plot, and the characters whose styling and temperament were far from their own were basically in place. Interested friends can watch the live translation of the premiere, there are many behind-the-scenes tidbits. Here you can also compare the gap between the actor himself and the role.
Arisu Ryohei (Yamazaki Kento) is a bit disappointed in the background arrangement of the plot. It can be seen that Xianren is working hard to interpret a young man who can only play games and is not accepted by his family. The excellence of the younger brother sets off the unwillingness of the older brother, but the audience feels more decadence and powerlessness. What I'm curious about is, has Ryohei made other efforts and dreams besides games? Although he is the protagonist, I feel that this setting is not particularly brilliant. In addition to his kindness, the description of the characters can have more background stories. Ryohei's costume is also lacking in character compared to other characters in the play.
Usagi Yuba, played by Tsuchiya Taiho, is much more pleasing in comparison. The character of a female man, and the influence of the rock climber's father on her also makes people understand her strength more. The sportswear in the play also makes the rabbit look full of vitality. The girl Taifeng is very beautiful and strong, which is a very suitable role for her. The hairstyle in the play is also very good-looking, and it is very capable and sweet while modifying the face shape. Add chicken thighs to the stylist!
Machida Keita plays the protagonist's good friend, Huang Mao's Kanbe. What we know about the character when we watch the play is that he is the more capable and popular among the three friends, and there is a woman he likes who intends to be with her, but she is not very reliable. The same problem with the protagonist is that the characters are a bit thin, or I wish there were more depictions of friendship and characters. Because of the popularity of "A 30-year-old or a virgin will become a magician", Machida's popularity in China and Southeast Asia is much higher than when it was filmed. I feel that it is still helpful for Alice's overseas viewership.
Machida said at the premiere that he was impressed by Shibuya's generous set, which is indeed the style of American dramas.
The character of Hiroro Murakami is a very scheming BOY. The long blond hair is very prominent and conforms to the cartoon prototype. The character in the play is distinctively a master of reasoning. Hiroro Murakami is the son of actor Murakami Jun and singer Hasegawa Utaori (UA). In 2016, he won the Best Male Newcomer Award. The disadvantage is that there is really no height among a group of 1.8m boys and 1.7m girls. Advantage. During the press conference, he was very aggrieved and said that he and Nai Cai often stood with the staff and asked Nai Cai to wear high slippers. . . He was set off to be particularly bad for his height. His aggrieved little expression and then ask the staff to take care of his height next time, haha. Although it doesn't look high in the show.
Yuki Morinaga plays the good friend of the protagonist. The disadvantage is that it feels a little thin except for the friendship that is Facebooked. The character's character attaches great importance to friendship, but it feels like a tool person who promotes the plot. It would be better if there were more descriptions of friendship and character. Because the characters of the friends are not prominent enough. When I saw those heart-to-heart duels, it was more difficult to feel the inner emotional conflict of the protagonist.
Although some people say that Caihua girl is paralyzed, but the long-legged, intelligent and rational beauty is still very suitable for her. It looks very anime and crazy. I feel that the overseas popularity of Caihua girls will also increase.
Sakurada-tsu plays Niuki, a high-ranking army officer with a gun and a ruffian with nails on his face. The character is a breakthrough compared to the students he's played (Love Wake No. 2, Scum's Intentions) or Society (Coffee and Vanilla, Perfect Crime). In the play, his interaction with his good friends Yamazaki Kento and Tsuchiya Taiho is very interesting. Ha ha ha ha. The three of them played Orange Miracle together, and this time they are reunited again. Some people might think he's ruining his image, but for a professional actor, trying out different roles is part of the job. What's more, I think Bad Bad Fei Mu is also very cool and attractive. Tongue acting is well received, it feels like a lizard, it restores the original picture of the comic, and it is very flirtatious! He will also have a new drama in January next year, playing a handsome bartender in 3B Lovers, a character that is closer to his own appearance.
Aya Asahina's character is transgender. He originally practiced Aikido because he liked makeup and was not accepted by his father. Both the background description and the character setting are very interesting. The fight in the show is really awesome. Nai Cai's swimsuit is also very eye-catching, guessing that her sister will attract fans from all over the world because of this drama. She said at the press conference that they started martial arts training three months before filming, and sure enough, the good looks in front of the camera were earned through hard work.
Fighting against Na Cai is the military high-ranking played by Ryu Shuntaro. The scene where he is holding a knife and sparring with Na Cai in the trailer left a deep impression on me. The tattoos on the face are very recognizable. Although there are not many background stories, it also describes the helpless feeling of being unacceptable.
I found out that there is actually a Chinese in the play. Let me introduce you. Abe Li (born February 13, 1982) is a quarter-Chinese and Japanese mixed-race actor. His father is Chinese, and his mother is Chinese and Japanese. Abe is his grandmother's surname. He was born in Heilongjiang Province, China, under the stage name Li Zhendong. Immigrated to Japan at the age of nine, changed to his current name, and then naturalized as a Japanese citizen. Real name Li Dongdong → Abe force.
The "Beach" leader played by Jin Zitong Zhao is a very interesting role. With cynicism comes the responsibility of a leader. The rivalry between him and the leader of the army played by Sho Aoyagi is unexpected and unconventional. I hope there are more new and special plot trends. The acting skills of the old drama bones are obviously more flavorful than those of the younger brothers in the play.
I deliberately pulled three friends who don't watch Japanese dramas to watch online at the same time. Their impression is that the plot is fascinating, and the pictures and plots are very imposing and generous. It really feels like an American movie. I hope that the character description and lines of the sequel can be a little more delicate in Japanese dramas, so as to show the real advantages of American-Japanese cooperative dramas.
