1905 movie network news Directed by Masayuki Suzuki, written by Okada Daoshang, and starring Kimura Takuya and Masami Nagasawa, the suspense mystery film has released the ultimate trailer recently. The film is based on the novel of the same name by the famous mystery writer Keigo Higashino.
In the final preview, the ultra-luxury cast spanning three generations, including Kimura Takuya, Masami Nagasawa, Fumiyo Kohinata, Atsuko Maeda, Nanao, Ryo Katsuji, Masahiro Takashima, Matsu Takako and Hashimoto Ai Shi, was completely exposed, which earned enough attention.
It is reported that after learning that "The Masked Hotel" is about to be released in China, Kimura Takuya specially recorded a video to say hello to the audience in China. This is the first time that Kimura Takuya has expressed his gratitude to the audience in China in this way for decades.
Kimura Takuya and Masami Nagasawa partner lamented that the "unlucky" ultra-luxury actor lineup was crowded with stars.
The ultimate trailer of the movie "Masked Hotel" presents a fascinating story and character tension. Kimura Takuya plays Hirosuke Xintian, a criminal policeman. He goes undercover in a luxury hotel as a hotel waiter, trying to find out the serial killer who shocked Tokyo from all kinds of guests. Masami Nagasawa plays Shangmei Yamanaka, a senior hotel employee who is responsible for guiding his work. He is an extremely professional and serious hotel practitioner.
In the trailer, the picture of the two people sighing "unlucky" in unison makes people laugh. One is a talented criminal policeman who intends to expose the guest’s "mask", and the other is a hotel employee who believes in "the guest is supreme". On the contrary, they have to work together to find out the murderer. The natural contradiction between the two people and how to change from conflict to cooperation have become important highlights of the film. Interestingly, this is the first time that Kimura Takuya and Masami Nagasawa have cooperated as the leading actor and heroine, and what kind of sparks they will collide with is even more exciting.
The ultra-luxury cast across the three generations of the old, middle and young are all exposed in the trailer. Fumiyo Kohinata plays Xintian’s old partner, and he has high hopes for Shanan to become Xintian’s new partner. Nanao plays an overbearing hotel guest who seems to have another purpose in staying in the hotel. Atsuko Maeda’s stunning appearance in a wedding dress, screaming in panic in the chaos, added a bit of suspense to the film.
In addition, there are powerful actors from Ryo Katsuji, Masahiro Takashima, Matsu Takako and Manami Hashimoto. They will wear invisible "masks" in the film one after another, and set off an undercurrent in the hotel lobby, where the real murderer is among them, and all of them are suspects. From the old drama bones to the powerful actors and then to the super-luxury lineup of popular idols, netizens shouted "So many actors with good looks and drama are on the same stage, which is super enjoyable".
Keigo Higashino’s new series unlocks the prototype of "new hero" and the dream linkage is well received.
Masquerade Hotel is a commemorative work for the 25th anniversary of Keigo Higashino’s career as a writer, and it is also the first part of his trilogy of "Masquerade", which has a super-high sales volume of more than 4.16 million copies in Japan. This time, the movie Masked Hotel finally unlocked Keigo Higashino’s "new hero" Hirosuke Xintian, an "unprecedented genius who is good at understanding human nature" on the big screen.
Keigo Higashino once said in an interview that when he conceived the character Hirosuke Xintian, what he imagined in his mind was Kimura Takuya. Now, Xintian’s first screen appearance is personally performed by Kimura Takuya, a "character prototype" who has never played the role of a policeman for decades, which can be described as "dream linkage".
After the film was released in Japan, it was a big hit, with the total box office exceeding 4.6 billion yen, and even got a high score of 4.05 (out of 5) in Yahoo Japan. Kimura Takuya’s outstanding performance won many praises, and many viewers marveled: "When Kimura Takuya appeared in the movie, it was like coming out of a book" and "Kimura’s sharp eyes were in place, as if he could see everything through the crowd".
It is reported that the film "Masked Hotel" will be released nationwide on September 4th.
