Prompt

A vintage late-1970s Japanese crime film poster in the style of a Nikkatsu theatrical one-sheet, vertically composed on aged beige paper with visible grain, faint stains, and slightly faded ink. The main image is a large, moody half-body portrait of {argument name="lead actor name" default="原田芳雄"} occupying the upper right and center, turned partly away from camera, with thick curly dark hair, a serious expression, and a wrinkled light gray suit jacket over an open-collar white shirt; his face is mostly in shadow. Behind him is a bleak industrial waterfront with cranes, low factory structures, and heavy gray smoke rising into a washed-out sky. Across the lower middle, place a huge hand-brushed red Japanese title reading {argument name="title text" default="影の街"}, painted diagonally and aggressively, partially overlapping the portrait and the lower scene. In the lower half, add a second scene: a rainy urban street at dusk or night with wet reflective pavement, a dark police car at left with a glowing red roof light, and 6 men in suits and trench coats walking forward, with 1 central detective figure in a beige trench coat and loosened tie leading the group. On the far right, include a vertical strip of 5 stacked inset cast portraits framed in thin borders, each a dark cinematic still with different characters. Add vertical Japanese typography: on the upper right, the actor credit “原田芳雄 主演”; on the upper left, a 2-line tagline column reading “その男、刑事。 正義より、真実を追う。”; and near the lower right of the main image, another vertical blurb reading “誰が敵で、誰が味方か。闇に消えた事件の中で、ただひとつの真実を掴むまで—”. At the bottom, include dense small Japanese credits spanning the width, plus a large release date on the lower right reading {argument name="release date" default="11.23"} with “日活ロードショー” beneath it and a small studio mark. Use muted charcoal, sepia, smoky blue-gray, and off-white tones, with the red title as the only vivid color. The overall feeling is hard-boiled, melancholic, gritty, and cinematic, like a lost 1970s Japanese detective movie poster.
