Medley073 ~ The strongest this spring? 17 year old empire

Many friends from other places congratulated me and conveyed the good news that normalcy will be restored in June. However, living materials such as grain, oil, rice and noodles are still being stocked up. God knows whether it is June 1 or June 30. Only uncertainty is certain.

• In the May earnings season, major Japanese companies have announced their 2021 fiscal year results. Factors such as the depreciation of the Japanese currency and the surge in energy and food have boosted the performance of the five major trading companies, and the profit in the fiscal year has reached a record high; the game company has also achieved outstanding results, and Sony’s profit has risen for the first time; in addition, Japan’s annual tax revenue has also silently increased by 10%.

• At the same time, Tokyo housing prices, which continue to rise, hit a record high, surpassing the peak period of the "land myth" of the bubble economy.
• People are often asked why Japanese dramas have declined more and more in recent years? The reason is found. The decline of the film and television industry is directly related to the lack of money. In terms of financial support, even South Korea is already 20 times that of Japan, not to mention the United States.
• Comedian Ueshima Longbing was shocked to pass away by suicide.

Japanese drama world

• NHK's new drama "17-year-old Empire" was launched. EP1-2 came to Japan, which is super-aging a few years later. In the face of an accelerating economic recession, the Prime Minister decided not to break through, and designated a small town as an experimental special zone to introduce quantum computers and big data. , AI, AR, and a 17-year-old high school student is the prime minister and leads the ruling team... Although the script is not new, the core is still the set of "Gundam" and "EVA", but fortunately the casting is good enough: starring Kamio Kaede Beads have outstanding appearance and stable performance; old dramas such as Tanaka Minor and Shimomoto Ming are in the lineup; Ogata Emi is the voice of AI; Someya will be too swollen to face, and Hoshino Yuan's eyelids should not be more slender. In addition, the visual effects and shooting quality of this drama are amazing. Too many works have been reduced to "mobile dramas" and "tablet dramas". This is the real TV series.

• Another new NHK drama series is "If there is a next life" starring Matsusaka Keiko. EP1 tells the relationship between an elderly husband and wife. The decades of living together are too many details to sting nerves. The wife regrets getting married and imagines a different life. Borrowing the classification of "River Out", this is a "Xuandong Drama" corresponding to "Youth Drama".
• "Xiaojing and Dad" EP8 ended warmly. The theme of old district renovation is similar to "17-year-old Empire", which to some extent represents Japan's sense of urgency in trying to reinvent itself. The screenwriter unraveled the last "mystery" (the parental titles did not match), the aspirated sound "papa" is easier to pronounce.

※Continued review※

• "Kamakura 13 retainers" EP18-19, the focus turns to Yoshitsune's great cause to defeat the Heike, and the break of Yoritomo and Yoshitsune under the severance of the Emperor Shirakawa. Oguri Shun's role was further reduced.
• "TOKYO VICE" EP5-6, the two factions of the underworld are fighting openly and secretly, and the action scenes are good. I remember that when the play was just announced, the Japanese media reported extensively on Yamashita Tomohisa's participation. I wonder if male public relations were his first choice. Kasamatsu was lucky to get this role.
• "Sustainable Love? "EP3-4, Isomura Yuto and Ueno Shuri started the "cohabitation" mode, and the second male took great pains to match the male and female protagonists.

• "Ex-Boyfriend's Will" EP5-6, the theme is to exchange murder and brainwashing, challenge the classic mode of suspenseful reasoning, and pay tribute to the masterpiece.
• "Xing Xinyi Short Story Collection" EP5-6, the second episode of the Kind Citizens Alliance, kind people make devastating and terrible decisions. It doesn't mean that you can act just by working hard.
• "Countdown 10 Seconds to the Future" EP4-5, the episode is fast-paced, the game is lost, the coach's departure and return. Hiroro Murakami joins. The little actor is Eito Kawahara's child in "Little Taro Lives Alone", and he is much older.

• "My Family" EP4-6, the second chapter begins, the kidnappers repeat their tricks, and even share the profits with the protagonist to form a "criminal family".
• "Honest Real Estate" EP5-6, guest appearances such as Kato Masaya and Takahashi Kedian.
• "My cuteness is about to expire? "EP3-5, Matsuoka Masahiro's flashy image.
• "The Giants" EP3-4, Hasegawa Kyoko's limit is exposed.

※Review※

• "LEGAL HIGH" S1EP8, the mother-daughter drama of Yoshida Riqin and Ozawa Zhenzhu, Gu Meimen and her father's court case, the impressive lawsuit in the first season.

• By the way, I revisited Nolan's "Interstellar", and the cosmic sky scene was suffocating. Compared with opening brain holes, the film digs deeper into family relationships. Parents are the "high-dimensional" ghosts of their children. The relativity of time, these concepts also make sense in the parent-child relationship.
• Another BBC documentary "Life in Color" shows how animals use color, using polarized light and ultraviolet light technology when shooting, and the end of the film inevitably calls for environmental protection. What can I say other than beautiful and breathtaking.
• Wong Kar-wai's "Fallen Angel" in 1995 can be said to be an enhanced version of "Chongqing Forest", and it has reached a new level in all aspects: Takeshi Kaneshiro and Liming have replaced Faye Wong and Brigitte Lin; Midnight convenience stores are appearing; the plot is more complete, no longer Totally split.
• The impact of the 9 Vietnam War in the NHK documentary "Image Century" was a war that was broadcast live on TV.

• Revisited Faye Wong's 2003 Phoebe ordinary concert, the opening song "Sky", the ending song "The World", the most perfect tour in the arrangement of the tracks. I can't find the video material of the 2010 concert tour, which happened to be the only time I went to the scene, so keep it in mind.
• Zhang Jingxuan's "Sheng Le" concert, the first large-scale performance in Hung Hom, Hong Kong after the epidemic, Lin Xi and Lin Ruoning master and apprentice swept the most important opening and closing.
