The first scene at the beginning of the movie is a close-up of Hayato Mizuna. The moment his face was shown on the big screen of the cinema, the audience below subconsciously made a "wow" sound.
The reason fans exclaimed this time was not only because they were so handsome again, but also because they were surprised by his image.
I saw Mizuna Hayato wearing a dark yellow knitted sweater that was not eye-catching. His hair was fluffy and slightly messy, his eyes were thick with dark circles, his cheeks were specially made up, and he was unshaven and had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked middle-aged. Frustrated, he no longer takes care of his personal image.
Hayato Minakami has played young and old many times, and his image has changed a little every time. This time, when they saw the movie introduction and knew that he was playing a middle-aged man, fans were somewhat mentally prepared.
But this time it’s a little different. The male protagonist’s occupation written in the movie introduction is “anchor”. In Yingzhou, anchoring can be said to be a profession with a very good image. For example, the morning news anchor, the audience will even use “ "xx TV station's morning face" to call them.
What's more, in the audience's impression, Minakami Hayato's last work was the young and rich domineering president played in "Toward the Light". He was fashionable and handsome, and this role is the most popular among the roles played by Minakura Hayato. Jump to the top level.
Minakami Hayato really doesn't care what role he plays that will ruin his handsome image!
The plot continues to develop on the screen. The protagonist played by Hayato Minakami is talking on the phone with an irritated face, holding a cigarette in his mouth without lighting it. It seems that he wants something from the person on the other end of the phone but gets nothing.
The audience now knows that the protagonist played by Hayato Minato was once a glamorous news anchor and a household name. The one or two scenes showing his peak moments once again impressed the audience with his handsome appearance. However, this once popular anchor was accused of accepting bribes. After getting caught, he became the loser in the workplace struggle and was assigned to work at the radio station.
This is not to say that there is any discrimination against radio anchors, but the two stages of television and radio are very different in themselves, both in terms of traffic and development prospects. It is basically difficult to get ahead if you fail in the workplace and are assigned to a radio station. The protagonist is also trying to find various ways to return to his position.
When Tanaka Kozo saw this, he wrote down the two words "evil person" in his notebook. Then he thought about it and put another question mark.
Everyone knows that Hayato Minakami was approached by the PTA because of the filming of "High School". Now he is becoming more and more popular among middle and high school students. Many people have already assumed that he will not play the villain.
But this time in the movie, it seems like the protagonist was not a good person from the beginning.
"Is it necessary for the protagonist to turn around and then rise again?" Tanaka Kozo had this speculation in his mind.
The subsequent plot also seemed to illustrate the problem of this protagonist. He was playing with his fingers carelessly, with a pair of sunglasses hanging on his eyes, while talking back to the enthusiastic audience who discussed taxes with him.
Then suddenly, a call came from a listener who claimed to be a construction worker. He talked about the problem of high electricity bills at home and complained about it. The audience had seen Mizuna Hayato being demoted for such a long time. He casually talked about the topic and planned to hang up. He dropped the other party's phone number, but then he found that he couldn't hang up the phone.
Tanaka Kozo and other viewers became curious. Obviously this was a turning point in the plot. On the screen, no matter how Minakami Hayato communicated with the staff outside the studio, he could not hang up the phone, and the person on the other end of the phone But he said that if he didn't help him solve the problem, he would blow up the Rainbow Bridge.
"Blow up the Rainbow Bridge?" Moviegoers all remembered that the biggest stunt in the early stages of the movie was the bombing of the Rainbow Bridge. Many people also knew about the blockade of filming.
But the protagonist in the movie didn't know. He just thought this was another prank call from another listener who was unhappy with his life. Even if he threatened, nothing would happen, so he casually replied: "I love bombing, I don't use the Rainbow Bridge after get off work. It doesn’t matter.”
Then he continued doing the show.
Seeing the protagonist raising the flag like this, and the disgusting character erected in front of him, the audience immediately looked forward to the moment when he would be slapped in the face, even if he was wearing the handsome face of Mizunakami Hayato.
Sure enough, not long after, a sound of "Peng!" came out, and the protagonist on the screen looked around in panic, then stood up, ran to the window, and looked out.
Outside the window, the Rainbow Bridge that everyone knows was really bombed.
As several explosions continued to sound, looking at the thick black smoke rising from the Rainbow Bridge, Mizuna Hayato's eyes widened and he was shocked.
The shock of the male protagonist was very complicated. First, he was shocked when he saw the explosion. Second, he realized that he had said "If you want to explode, just explode", and he was a little worried that he would be implicated.
The camera panned to give a close-up of Mizuna Hayato, and a rapid and tense BGM started to play. After a few seconds, he was shocked and panicked and returned to the phone to pick up the phone.
But at this time, the person on the other end of the phone didn't want to talk anymore, and just said that he would call back later.
...
Everyone has expected the explosion of the Rainbow Bridge, but what is difficult to guess is the next development. What ordinary viewers are thinking about is how the hero will show off his power to find the murderer behind the scenes, and finally counterattack and return to his position as a TV anchor. However, Tanaka Kozo suddenly remembered the title of this movie-"Horror Live".
"Live broadcast...can you say..."
Before he could finish thinking about it, Mizuna Hayato's hand that originally planned to call the police on TV stopped. The image of the protagonist as a "bad guy" created from the beginning of the movie prompted him to make a choice that many people did not expect - he I gave up calling the police and planned to use this incident as my own capital to turn around.
What could be more exciting than coming face to face with the criminals who blew up the Rainbow Bridge? He was the only one who could connect to the other party about the explosion that just happened. Isn't such first-hand news rare?
A selfish anchor like him doesn't care about the casualties. He just wants to make big news every day, and this is big news delivered to your door! First hand!
So under the surprised and expectant eyes of the audience, he went out and stopped the director from calling the police, told everyone present not to act rashly, and personally called the deputy director of the TV station.
The deputy director is not a good person, and it was this deputy director who even contributed to the protagonist's decline to where he is today.
But in this case, only this kind of person will agree to his conditions and complete this once-in-a-lifetime "horror live broadcast."
The movie BGM and rhythm seemed to stop slowing down after the explosion. On the screen, various staff were preparing live broadcast equipment. Mizuna Hayato tidied up his image in front of the mirror and put on his suit and tie anchor suit again.
