Perhaps many people are not familiar with Ikei Torun, but looking at his works, you will find that the word-of-mouth Japanese dramas that have been chased in previous years are actually his works.
To say that the most popular is "Naoki Hanzawa", in 2013, there was also a "Ikeido Runhe" because of this drama. Most of his works are related to the corporate economy and mainly expose the shady scenes within the enterprise, which is inseparable from his personal experience.
Once working in a bank, he can always vividly show the darkness and reality of the financial world in his works, which makes the reader's eyes shine. Let's take a look at some of the works he has been put on the screen!
"Naoki Hanzawa"
Adapted from "We Are All Bubble Economy Entry Group", "We Are All Pattern Bubble Group"
Completed in 2004 and 2008, these two books, although they did not receive any awards, represent the works of Ikeido Run, who also added a lot of personal experience to the creation process.
The story is set in the 1990s, when Japan had just experienced a bubble economic crisis, and like Hanzawa, Ikeido Jun entered the financial industry and worked for a bank during the bubble economy.
Based on his years of experience in banking, he has a hard time with the dark inside story and factional struggles of the banking industry, which also makes the two novels full of direct appeal.
This drama also uses many powerful actors such as Masato Sakai, Teruyuki Kagawa, Mitsuhiro Kawa, Kenichi Takito, Shinya Kitaji, etc., and has been highly praised by practitioners in the Japanese tv drama industry:
"Naoki Hanzawa" rewrote the history of Japanese dramas, and its influence spread inside and outside the industry, directly making the TV drama industry move from "Cassianism" to "strengthism", weakening the power of the Janis office that previously dominated most of the country.
It is precisely because this drama is so popular that the audience has been looking forward to the broadcast of the second season, although it has been refuted every year, but the production rumors of the second season of "Naoki Hanzawa" are still rising and falling.
For the actors, the producers even said that changing actors in "Naoki Hanzawa" is a betrayal of the audience.
The third novel in the Naoki Hanzawa series, The Counterattack of the Lost Generation, was released in June 2012 and successfully sold millions.
In August 2014, Ikeido Jun launched a new work in the "Naoki Hanzawa" series, "Icarus of Silverwing", and the first sales of the new book were even more amazing, five times higher than the third part.
It may be precisely because of the existence of these two novels, coupled with the super popularity of "Naoki Hanzawa", that everyone naturally thinks that the shooting of the sequel is also reasonable, but the official is not at present! No! No! To be clear, the news of the Japanese media is basically speculation! speculate! speculate!
"The King of the People"
Adapted from "The King of the People"
As a non-prime-time Japanese drama of TV Asahi, "Minwang" can be described as the dark horse of the Japanese drama of the season. This drama tells the funny story of the 100th Japanese Prime Minister, Tarzan Muto (Kenichi Endo), and his son Sho Muto (Shoki Sugata) "soul exchange".
Ikei Tonoru has always written novels with more serious themes, and this one's style is more relaxed, and it is a rare fantasy comedy work in his adaptations.
After the broadcast, the praise was overwhelming, for Sugata and Takahashi, "The King of the People" is one of the works that brought great turnarounds in their acting careers, we not only saw soda's acting skills, but also won the role of the prime minister's secretary Tosei Takahashi.
Subsequently, in 2016, he published "Minwang Fanwai: Kaihara's Secretary and The Six Strange Guests" and two SP "Minwang Special Chapter: New Conspiracy" and "Minwang Fanwai Chapter: Love Election", which Takahashi served in his lifetime.
Since the previous adaptation effect is very satisfactory, Ikeido Run is also very optimistic about the extra and special parts. Although "Minwang" is adapted from the original novel by Ikeido Jun, the Fanwai and SP Special chapters are completely original scripts.
At the 86th Japanese Drama Academy Awards, the drama "Minwang" won several major awards for best work, best supporting actor, best screenplay, and best director.
"The Flower Dance Can't Be Silenced" 1, 2
Adapted from "Unknown Things ~ Hana Dance Can't Be Silent"
Before the broadcast of this drama, under the banner of "the female version of Hanzawa Tree Planting", the "Hana Dance" series was mainly adapted from "Unknown Things", and the rest included "Bank General Affairs Special Order", "Bank Shi Ren", "Bank Fox" and so on.
The play also adds the original character Hanazawa's father, Yukizo Hanami (Ryo Ohsugi), which is mainly about Hanazawa mai, an ordinary banker, who is later transferred to the audit class of the head office, and partners with a demoted senior banker, Soma Ken, to protect weak and small employees, and vows to deal with the evil forces within the bank to the end.
The first recovery viewership of season 1 set a record of 17.2% of the first episode of the season, and finally returned to 18.3%, and finally ranked the highest in the quarter with a high rating of 16.02% on average.
At the beginning, many negative voices pointed out that "it is not enough compared to Half Ze"; "looking forward to it as a female version of Naoki Hanzawa, it is not at all", etc., but the audience is still constantly attracted to this drama. Maybe it is precisely because it is weaker in conflict, but it is more acceptable.
"Welcome to My House"
Adapted from "Welcome to My House"
The moon nine drama put this theme is quite surprising, at the same time, as the work of Ikei Torun, the mark of Ikeido Run on its body is not very obvious, this drama is more to give people a sense of suspense, of course, there is also a workplace dark screen that Ikeido Run is good at.
From the poster, at first glance, it seems to be a light-hearted family drama, but in fact, its work takes "the horror lurking around" as the theme, telling the story of the weak male protagonist business designer Kenta Kurata (Masaki Aiba) and his family are involved in a series of whirlpools such as stalking threats, family crises, and workplace darkness.
The protagonist of the original work is Taiichi Kurata (played by Satoshi Terao), and the drama is changed to its eldest male Kenta Kurata, which is indeed the appeal of aiba, and this is also the first time that Janis artists have starred in the TV series adapted from the original work of Ikeido Run.
"Shimomachi Rocket"
Adapted from "Shimomachi Rocket"
There are two versions of this, one is the 2011 WOWOW version shown above, starring Hiroshi Mikami, which tells the story of the protagonist, Yu Hangping, who returned to his hometown in Daejeon, Tokyo, to run ancestral farming after abandoning his space engineering research, but unfortunately was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The other version is the 2015 TBS version shown below, starring Hiroshi Abe.
Both films are largely in tune with the original, reflecting the setbacks and rising of small and medium-sized businesses, while the 2015 version is even better at card division and plot tension.
Appointing the directors and screenwriters of Naoki Hanzawa and Roosevelt Games, Katsuo Fukuzawa cooperated × the production team led by Hiroyuki Yatsu, and the casting was closer to the original.
In fact, the 2011 edition of "Shimomachi Rocket" was only based on the first part of "Shimomachi Rocket" published in 2010, and in 2015, the first part of the original work was adapted together with the second part and the TV series was completed at the same time as the original work.
"Shimomachi Rocket" is the 145th Naoki Thirty-Five Awards winner, and it is also a classic of the adaptation of Uncle Hiroshi's novel, which is very worth watching.
Roosevelt's Game
Adapted from Roosevelt's Game
"Naoki Hanzawa" is the same behind the scenes of the roosevelt game. This drama is still a corporate story, telling the story of Qingdao Production Company facing bankruptcy crisis, and men constantly desperately "catching the ball" to achieve reversal and twists and turns.
It was broadcast in the same show as "Hana Dance Can't Be Silenced", but the ratings were inferior to "Hana Dance", ranking second in the season's ratings.
The behind-the-scenes team of the drama is the original team of "Naoki Hanzawa", and belongs to the same TBS Nichijiu drama as "Naoki Hanzawa", and invests a large number of luxurious casts such as: Karasawa Shouming, Tanri, HexagonAle and so on.
Among them, Tezuka Tōri, Suruga Taro, Ishimaru Kanji, Kagawa Teruyuki, etc. are all actors in Naoki Hanzawa, and Uncle Kagawa continued to contribute classic expressions in Roosevelt Games after Naoki Hanzawa.
That said, Uncle Kagawa really contributed a lot of memes in "Naoki Hanzawa" and "Roosevelt Games"!
The drama also achieved the third time that Karasawa Shouming and Yosuke Eguchi played the role of "old enemy" after "In the Name of Love" and "The White Tower".
In any case, this TV series was optimistic about all parties before it started broadcasting, but in fact, the actual results were not very ideal, and even half of "Naoki Hanzawa" was not reached.
"Stock Price Plunge"
Adapted from "Stock Price Plunges"
Again, wowow's play, in which Oda Yuji first challenged the role of a bank clerk.
"Stock Price Plunge" depicts the financing process of the large supermarket that became the target of a serial terrorist bombing, similar to the style of "Naoki Hanzawa", in which Oda Yuji plays a passionate banker whose faith is always carried out.
In addition to the problems within the bank, there was also an explosion in the play, which incorporated elements of a criminal police drama. However, from the plot point of view, compared with "Naoki Hanzawa" and "Roosevelt Games", the direction of this part is relatively smooth, and there are not so many ups and downs of the plot.
Iron Bones
Adapted from "Iron Bones"
Won the 31st Eiji Yoshikawa Literary Newcomer Award, the novel was adapted into a TV series by NHK in Japan in 2010, giving a youthful perspective on the dark side of the construction industry.
In the play, Tetsuhira Koike plays Heita Tomishima, who has been working on the construction site of a construction company for four years, and one day the company suddenly asked him to transfer to the business department and was involved in a large -scale "construction industry bidding collusion" case.
The gap between this drama and the original book is large, the evaluation of fans is not very good, and in addition, the fresh meat Koike Tetsuhei and the whole serious environment always have a sense of disproportionate.
"Seven Meetings"
Adapted from "Seven Meetings"
It was broadcast in the same time period as "Naoki Hanzawa", but the playback effect was very different and did not attract many people's attention.
The story stage is the backbone of the manufacturing motor, after the power harassment incident, the company began to change the incredible personnel changes, the protagonist began to investigate, gradually approaching the amazing truth.
This is the first time That Higashiyama has starred in such a formal social genre TV series. The plot is more depressed, after watching the heartache, if it is not because of Higashiyama Kiyuki, it is estimated that many people will not be able to watch the beginning.
Bottomless Abyss
Adapted from Bottomless Abyss
"Bottomless Abyss" is both Ikeido's small debut work and the first TV series adaptation. Released in 1998, the original won the 44th Edogawa Rambling Award.
The day after his death, Sakamoto, who left his mysterious last words, was accused of embezzling money from a client's account into his own account. Believing that Sakamoto is innocent, Imu embarks on a journey to find the truth.
In addition, like many Ikeido Run's film and television dramas, the BGM in the play is a major highlight, which really makes people feel like they have fallen into the bottomless abyss.
Aerial Tires
Adapted from "Aerial Tires"
This drama has a high reputation, and it is a corporate redemption with "car tire shedding" as the fuse.
Akamatsu, who inherited his father's transportation company, learned one day that the company's truck had killed a mother and son because the tires had fallen off. Akamatsu, who was identified as a suspect by the police, decided to investigate the matter in order to save the company on the brink of bankruptcy.
Everyone knows that many of the sponsors of Japanese dramas are the automotive industry, so the adaptation of this drama has a great impact on sponsors, but WOWOW still broadcasts at risk.
Just yesterday, idol group TOKIO member Tomomo Nagase also decided to star in the film adaptation of "Air Tire", playing the role of Akamatsuro, the president of a transportation company who is fighting against a huge company.
In addition, at the end of last year, Ikei Tonoru's latest work "Land King" was also determined to be Japanese dramatized. The series will once again assemble the production team that previously filmed "Naoki Hanzawa" and "Shimomachi Rocket", with Hiroshi Yasho as the main actor.
This drama tells the touching story of the rebirth of the company, and is staged by the old Japanese-style short cloth socks shop "Little Hook House" in Yuda City, Saitama Prefecture. He plays The role of Koichi Miyazawa, the 4th generation president of the store.
Due to the decline in demand for Japanese short cloth socks year after year, there was a problem with the store's capital turnover. Annoyed by this, Miyazawa decided to start a new business in order to protect the company.
