Synopsis:
Depicting the mysterious half life of Mitsuhide, the story begins in the 1540s when many heroes had not yet become heroes, telling the story of Japan's chaotic state after the Yingren Rebellion, and the warring heroes who aspired to unify the world and calm the chaotic world appeared one after another.
The term "Big River Drama" comes from the French word "roman-fleuve (Big River Novel)", which refers to a long novel based on the life of the family lineage, while the Big River Drama is a TV version of the Big River Novel, NHK TV will shoot about 50 episodes a year, throughout the year broadcast of the Big River Drama, this time "Kirin is Coming" is the 49th Big River Drama.
In recent years, the ratings of the Big River Drama have shrunk badly, and after the dismal "Wei Datian: The Story of the Tokyo Olympics" last year, this year's "Kirin Is Coming" returned to the Warring States era and continued to let the village chiefs fight. (The Japanese word for "麒麟" (きりん) is derived from Chinese, which also refers to the traditional Chinese beast.)
This time the focus is on the warring states era celebrity Wise Mitsuhide, in the past film and television works, Wise Mitsuhide mostly appeared as a betrayer and villain, and this time the Great River Drama for the first time with Wise Mitsuhide as the protagonist.
Every year, the Big River Drama will invite an all-star cast to star, and everyone will find many familiar faces in the process of chasing the drama.
The actors who can play important roles in the big river drama are generally actors with good audience reputation, and this drama has caused a huge discussion because of the actors at the beginning of the broadcast.
Originally, it was Hideyoshi Sawajiri who played an important role in the drama, Oda Nobunaga, but she was arrested for drug possession, and the TV station urgently looked for a replacement actor, at that time, it had been filmed for 10 episodes and needed to be remade, so the show was postponed for two weeks.
Replacing Hidetaka Sawajiri is Haruna Kawaguchi, which is a big image difference from Sawajiri.
This is the first time that Haruna Kawaguchi has challenged the costume era drama, and from the final appearance to the shooting is only ten days, the time to shape the role is very short, from meeting, trying on, styling, to reading the script, memorizing lines and other difficult situations, she finally successfully completed, her performance is unexpectedly good.
Wise Mitsuhide is an ancient rebel, and it is quite risky to choose him as the protagonist, because on the way to Honnoji Temple, Wise Mitsuhide said, "The enemy is in Honnoji Temple!" This famous quote. Attacked by Mitsuhide Wise, Oda Nobunaga personally fought with a gun and committed suicide after learning that there was no chance of victory.
The plot is based on the latest historical research results, the whole 4K camera, and the use of Japanese scripter Ikebata Shunsatsu's original script, no matter what the plot, presumably for the obsessed Japanese Sengoku history of the small friends is not to miss the audiovisual feast.
