Yoji Yamada
According to Japanese media reports, on September 26, Yoji Yamada attended the "32nd Tokyo International Film Festival" press conference in Roppongi ACADEMYHILLS, Tokyo, which will open on October 28. He will be released on December 27. The new film "The Story of Torajiro: Welcome Back" was selected as the film festival's opening work. The series launched its first work in 1969. This year is the 50th anniversary, and it happens to be the 50th work of the series. It is worth celebrating.
"The Story of Tonjiro" is an inspirational comedy produced by Japanese Shochiku Films. It has aired 49 movies and is currently the longest series of movies in the world. The late starring Wo Meiqing also set "the longest movie series with an actor "Guinness World Records." The 50th work that will be screened at the end of the year, in addition to the newly filmed content of Toujiro's family, also includes some past videos. Yamada Yoji said at the Tokyo International Film Festival press conference: "Seeing the finished film, I thought of using fifty Years, I think it’s incredible, and I’m also grateful for being able to live to the present."
Yamada Yoji revealed that in the new film, how to choose the lens in the past "Tale of Tojiro" series is a big problem, but the finished product is very good, he said: "Although We can also use CG technology to create Toujiro, but in the end we didn't do that. The film 40 or 50 years ago was placed in a 4K digital movie. It turned out to be very beautiful. Although it is old, there is absolutely no deterioration, and there is no sense of violation." Therefore, Director Akira Kurosawa said that the movie is to connect scenes to scenes, and make the scenes move like magic to the eyes. Yoji Yamada said that this production felt this magic.
Also participating in the event on the day were the director of the main competition unit "Baropola" director Tezuka Ma, the director of "Comedy Beloved Wife Monogatari" Adachi, and the screenwriter of the new Japanese animation department shortlisted "PROMARE" this year Kazuki Nakajima.
