Don’t protest against China! "VIVANT" is not afraid of the controversy involving insulting China, and the movie version will be released quickly

The second season of Japan's TBS flagship masterpiece "VIVANT" aired its finale yesterday (8th), and it was announced that it would be adapted into a movie. Masato Sakai, who plays the leading actor "Nogi Yusuke", said that he will embark on a new adventure on the big screen.

"VIVANT" has received considerable attention for two consecutive seasons. However, last month, the show was accused by China Central Television of smearing China. It pointed out that in the show, Chinese personnel cut off the fingers and stabbed the abdomen of Japanese intelligence personnel. "These methods are highly overlapped with the torture used by the Japanese invaders against Chinese anti-Japanese comrades, and the show confuses right and wrong and grafts it onto the image of modern Chinese people."

Unexpectedly, the controversy spread to Japan. The Shanghai branch of the well-known brand Sanrio announced that it would completely suspend its joint promotion with "VIVANT". Long Baozhengfeng, the president of TBS TV station, emphasized that this is a fictional entertainment work and does not intend to cause national antagonism, but will sincerely accept criticism and advice.

Despite the fierce domestic boycott in China, "VIVANT" still maintains very impressive results. After the second season finale aired yesterday, Sakai Masato said: "It seems necessary for us to start a new adventure, and the new adventure will go to the big screen!"

Officials took advantage of the situation and announced that the "VIVANT" movie will be released on December 4, and can also be seen in IMAX. It is very rare that the TV series will be released in Japanese cinemas less than a month before the finale. In addition, without knowing the plot at all, tickets are sold one month before the release. It is quite mysterious in the style of "VIVANT" and has many die-hard viewers looking forward to it.

"VIVANT" is scheduled to be released in Japanese theaters on December 4.
