Recently, it was learned from Japanese media that the movie "Masquerade Hotel", starring Takuki Kimura and Masami Nagasawa, will produce a sequel to "Masquerade Night", which is expected to be released on October 21, 2021.
Masquerade Hotel is a film based on Keigo Higashino's novel of the same name, directed by Masayuki Suzuki, written by Michio Okada, starring Takuto Kimura, Ami Nagasawa and others, and premiered in Japan on September 4 last year and achieved a huge box office. However, due to the epidemic situation, the sequel has not been able to meet with everyone, and has continued to this day, and finally wants to meet with everyone.
Tokyo is shocked by the serial murder case, and where the "next crime scene" will be, the police deduce a series of serial murders with predictable information from the unexplained sequence of all the case scenes, and investigate it. Takuya Kimura will play the role of front desk staff hunting down the killer.
In the face of passengers of unknown origin, Kosuke Nitta, a criminal police officer, "made the arrest of prisoners his first priority" and tried to deprive customers of their "masks".
Based on the first novel in Keigo Higashino's Masquerade series, the magazine was released in January 2019.
Police received a tip-off letter saying the killer would be murdered at the hotel's event venue. Nitta goes to investigate and find the real culprits among the five hundred impersonators.
Takuki Kimura plays Kosuke Nitta, an elite criminal police officer in the hotel like his predecessor, who infiltrates the hotel to investigate, Masami Nagasawa plays the excellent hotelier, and Naomi Yamagishi, the receptionist of Tokyo's Cortasia.
The first part of "Masquerade Hotel" was released in 2019 and attracted more than 600,000 viewers in three days. Box office revenue was nearly 800 million yen (equivalent to about 47,000 yuan). A relevant person in the film industry revealed: "Due to the new crown epidemic, the release of this "Masquerade Night" has limited the number of viewers. However, the box office and total box office revenue was 4.65 billion yen (equivalent to 270 million yuan). This movie should be a success. ”
In addition to the charismatic "Kimura Takuya Diss" and self-deprecating phrases in the original manga, the first part also tells the story of the love and revolution of the people of the small county town who fight for freedom. It transcends the interpretation of the original and wins praise.
He said: "When I received the film offer, I was worried that I was not doing a good job, but I was also happy. Watched the original manga and was touched and smiled. The strong affection made me cry. I'm sure the play must be fun. The script also reflects the laughter and tension of the original book, which they like very much. Each actor adds a different color to the work. The director paints the work with a pen, and each color will be perfectly interpreted. I believe that the TV version has a more visual impact than the original work.
