[Photo] Masatoshi Nagase smiles at the stage greeting This work is a movie adaptation of the novel "Hotel Iris" by Yoko Ogawa, the director of "Wave" and "The Black Square", starring Masatoshi Nagase. A Japanese-Taiwan collaboration movie. Mari, who helps Hotel Iris, run by a Japanese mother, in a lonely seaside resort, hears a scream echoing upstairs on a stormy night. She is shocked by the man who leaves the woman with violence and swearing, but she is attracted violently, and she is eventually led to a remote island where the man lives and is absorbed in the forbidden world of only two people. When MC LiLiCo, who praised him for being impressed with this work, invited the speakers, Nagase witnessed the full theater and said, "I'm thrilled that everyone at the venue can come." Nagase, who played a mysterious translator, said about the role making, "Because the original is wonderful, it floats in this original, to cherish things like reality, dreams, delusions, floating feelings. It feels like I was doing it after consulting with the director about what to do. The original is a role that is a little older than me, but I dropped it to about me. It feels like we all made it while discussing on-site how to do it. " Director Okuhara said about Nagase, "As for the role, I think that the reading of the original novel by Yoko Ogawa was not so different from me. The shooting started from the first day, but Mr. Nagase is here. Then, when I saw the first way of walking with the camera, I thought, "Oh, this is already a translator." However, Mr. Nagase has a very good voice. I thought that "Put out your tongue" would not be possible without that voice, "said Nagase. Nahana, who played Mali's mother, said she read the original story when she was in her early twenties. I wanted to play a role like that. I would be overwhelmed by the director now (laughs). It was such a favorite novel, so I was really happy to be able to participate in this movie. " He revealed the joy of participating in this work. The translator's nephew, played by Kanichiro, has no tongue and does not speak any language. Regarding such a role, Kanichiro said, "I was very happy that I didn't have to remember the lines (on the spot) because I didn't have the lines, but I needed something to convince them. But in this work, like Lee Kang-sheng, it's close to the main line, but it's a role that doesn't convey too much because it's in a free place, so it was an advantage to not be able to speak. I think. " Movie "Hotel Iris" Riku Natsu (Lucia) & Lee Kang Sheng Video Message In the stage greeting, a video message from Riku Natsu (Lucia) who played the heroine Mali and Lee Kang Sheng who played the captain was also specially screened. Regarding co-starring with Lucia, Nagase said, "I didn't feel any barriers at all. I was really fluent in Japanese, so I wasn't taught by anyone from Japanese anime Sean, music, or culture. It seems that it took a long time to learn. It's different from saying a line in a movie, so it was a hard learning about the director and dialogue coach, but at all for what I usually talk about. There was no problem. I was surprised. " In addition, she praised her ability to respond, saying, "It's difficult to get a proper reaction when you give an ad lib, because it's difficult if you don't understand Japanese, so I thought it was amazing. It's the first appearance in a movie." .. Finally, Director Okuhara said, "I would like to support this movie with your help. I would like as many people as possible to watch this movie for as long as possible. Thank you for your cooperation. I will do it. " Nagase, who starred in the movie, said, "I wanted to stand here with the Taiwanese filmmakers who put a lot of thought into this movie and everyone who generously poured their DNA into it, but I couldn't do it. I'm very sorry. However, I feel like I'm standing on the stage every week, but every time I see the appearance that "everyone is sitting in the movie theater", it's really ugly. There is something that comes to me. For me, this movie was also taken with people from overseas before Corona. I swear to this place and one day I can make a movie with people from various countries. First of all, I would like you to come to the movie theater to see this "Hotel Iris". "
