Chapter 657: Fame, Thief of Officials, Zhang Muzhi
Jiang Wen has a bad reputation in Japan.
But this bad reputation, and the relationship between his "The Devil is Coming", can't be said to be no, but it's not so direct.
This movie is very interesting, it was banned in Chinese mainland, anyway, it was not allowed to be released, but it was released in Japan and achieved a certain box office.
The Japanese watched anti-Japanese movies, which is really not easy to describe.
Yuki Kusano, in fact, doesn't need to go to Japan at all to know why Jiang Wen's reputation in Japan is not very good.
Very simply, Japanese actors have a characteristic, that is, after experiencing something, they will write something, similar to a diary, but it is not a diary, and the famous ones will be published and become a staged autobiography, probably so.
Because it doesn't count.
That's how Jiang Wen's bad reputation came about.
In "The Devil is Coming", Teruyuki Kagawa was really ...... back then Bullying honest children.
Kagawa was born into a family of performers, and the Kagawa family is very famous in the Japanese entertainment industry, and the last three generations are well-known artists, perhaps not as good as Koshiro Matsumoto's status, but they are definitely not bad in the Kabuki circle.
Kagawa is actually not young when he filmed "The Devil is Coming", but he really wants to learn more, after all, a character like Jiang Wen is too famous in the world, and he is definitely one of the few movie celebrities in Asia.
But...... Happy New Year, big brother and sister.
Just fool people like this.
At the beginning, he absolutely didn't know what this meant, let alone what 'master' and 'son' were in the back.
Later, I found out, so this situation ......
You see, isn't Kagawa back in Japan again, this young man originally had the heart to break through the world in China.
Memoirs, written!
Naturally, many Japanese people know about this.
If you want to say that there is just such a thing, then Jiang Wen's reputation is nothing, after all, one thing, and it is a very funny thing, everyone is happy.
But then there's one more thing!
This matter has something to do with Jiang Wen's emotional aspect, of course, this time the Japanese protagonist has no emotional problems with him, probably emotionally...... Oh, it's hard to say.
The emotional relationship is because of Ms. Zhou.
That's right, it's because of the movie "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".
Yuki Kusano dares to say that in the current year, when it comes to "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", then the fame of this movie is definitely not much worse than "Wuji".
Of course, it's not worse than bad, it's really not.
After the release of "Wuji", it was scolded in all directions, just that steamed bun incident, but the question is, how is the scolding?
It's justified.
That's exactly what the plot is.
Although Chen Dadao faced so much scolding, he said, 'You don't understand'!
It's awesome enough.
But in fact, many people did not recognize a more crucial matter through this incident.
That's right, most people are discussing who is right and who is wrong, and even Director Chen took people to court.
However, the real and most important thing is that this incident has given a small group of people a 'career prospect'.
Trolls!
To be an internet troll, as long as you do it well, you can not only become famous but also make money.
This is really a profession, and in the past, the name of this profession in Chinese mainland was probably film critic.
Ahem, of course, this is a joke, but we Chinese film critics are sometimes really speechless.
At the beginning of writing an article, it is basically to scold Chinese movies, or to scold a certain director.
We don't have to sing hymns, but this year is basically all in this mode, too much to save trouble.
Therefore, later, everyone called themselves trolls, and film critics were not uncommon, and such a forced title was rare.
Of course, this is a digression, but the connection between "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "Wuji" is ......
Great Production!
Please the best actors at the time, Jiang Wen, Swallow, Xueqi, Japan's Nakai Kiichi.
In martial arts films, the most famous director in the mainland, although he seems to have made such a famous movie.
Then, Fuhua Dao spent a lot of money at that time, and even all kinds of armor were made of real materials, not to mention the real materials, but also tried to restore the style of the Tang Dynasty.
Why?
Because there is a big wrongdoer, it is the Columbia company.
This company invested money, because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made money, and felt that the mainland market was very potential, so it increased investment.
As a result, they don't want the box office in the mainland, only overseas.
Look, this is not the spirit of internationalism, what is it?
As a result, there is a very interesting phenomenon in this movie.
Earned?
No!
Lost, very badly!
However, the two Huayi brothers made a lot of money, and they still earned a lot of money.
Because the two of them ate the domestic box office share, but the money was from the Colombian company.
This movie may have failed, but many people don't know that this movie actually changed the entire pattern of Chinese films.
But after this experience, they really flew.
Moreover, this movie also made Jiang Wen gain another love.
This time the love is not bad, Ms. Zhou is a good wife and mother from the point of view of her face, and she is also very charming.
However, Jiang Wen's reputation in Japan is even worse.
As soon as Nakai Gui returned to China, he couldn't help but write a memoir, in which he scolded Jiang Wen for not doing his job.
You are an actor, and you are more popular than a director on weekdays, what do you want to do?
And you care about everything, you want to meddle in everything, what the hell do you want to do?
This movie didn't succeed, and the biggest responsibility is you, Jiang Wen's!
If there is only Teruyuki Kagawa's memoirs, then forget it, this time there is a memoir of Kiichi Nakai, what else can I say?
Moreover, like Kagawa, Takaichi Nakai originally wanted to come to China to develop, but he also returned to China.
Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen, you dare to be a character who destroys the general environment of China and Japan.
The above is also the issue of Jiang Wen's reputation in Japan.
Now that Yuki Kusano meets this legend, what will happen?
After the two of them said hello, they didn't talk much, just looked at each other like that, looking at each other in a normal state of strangers.
Seems to be watching each other.
Jiang Wen looks very old, it is said that when he was in the Chinese opera, he went out of the school gate, and then walked around the Nanluoguxiang, and the neighbors thought that the leader came down to inspect the work.
However, the face is old, but the eyes are very bright.
Looking at it, more folds appeared on Jiang Wen's face, and he smiled.
"May I ask what Mr. Jiang Wen is laughing at?" Yuki Kusano still stood still.
"I said you're weird. Jiang Wen's smile still didn't go down, but his mouth was very direct.
"What's this strange method?" Yuki Kusano laughed too.
"Mr. Kusano, you asked someone to find me. ”
"Yes, that's me. ”
"Then you come with me, don't talk for a long time. ”
"Oh, because I don't know if it's better to tell the truth or tell a lie. ”
"Hey, that's interesting, how do you tell the truth?
"Then it depends on which one Mr. Jiang Wen wants to listen to first?"
"I don't like to hear lies, but this time I met a legendary figure like Director Kusano, so I wanted to hear about it. ”
It's interesting, the title has changed from Mr. Kusano to Director Kusano, and this change has of course also been captured by the keen Yuki Kusano.
The overseer still had a smile on his face, "Okay, then I'll tell a lie first, this lie...... Mr. Jiang Wen, you didn't want to come to see me. ”
This...... What a strange lie.
Jiang Wen laughed when he heard this, he was not a person who liked to hide up, at least in reality.
"And what about the truth?"
Kusano didn't think about it, "I really want to meet you, Mr. Jiang Wen." ”
Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed again.
"Yes, Superintendent Kusano, you are really extraordinary, I have made up your friend. ”
Now, the overseer is called.
Yuki Kusano actually understood from the beginning that Jiang Wen definitely wanted to 'pretend' something with himself.
It's a must.
Just said that before, the Cannes Film Festival was not, Jiang Wen scolded the judges of Cannes the year before last, saying that they were eunuchs, and they could only see how others were.
I can't shoot it myself.
But the next year, Cannes invited him to be a judge, and this guy also came.
Anyway, this guy is quite interesting, and Kusano is lucky to play such a hand, otherwise...... Maybe he's the next Kagawa or Nakai Kiichi.
Of course, Yuki Kusano is completely different, his strength and prestige are much higher, but ...... Jiang Wen likes to point fingers, and he doesn't like others to press him.
The situation should be much better now, so let's get down to business.
"I bet, Mr. Jiang Wen, you should know why I'm in China. ”
"I know that you have offended a lot of people in Japan, and you can't get along anymore. ”
"Hey, that's too straightforward. ”
"Haha...... I'm sure the Kusano Overseer won't care about that. ”
"Well, that's true, but now that I'm in China, I've got to do something, right? I can't tell the Japanese guys to see that I'm messing around in China, can I?"
"That's right! You have to do it! You've got to get better of it, call the Japanese...... Oh, you're still Japanese, although you speak Chinese really well. ”
"Probably so, okay, just to make a long story short, Mr. Jiang Wen ......"
"Call me Brother Jiang. ”
"Okay, what is Brother Jiang filming now?"
"The Sun Also Rises." ”
"Are you done shooting?"
"It was said that it was not filmed, but in fact it was finished. ”
"It's all too late. ”
"Yes. ”
"Okay, then I'll make it clear, I've always liked Chinese culture, which I believe people all over the world know, don't talk about it, I've seen one in China, it's called "Ten Tales of the Night", one of which is "The Story of the Thief of Officials" I like it very much. ”
"Oh, you've seen this too?"
"Mr. Ma Shitu's works are really wonderful, among which Zhang Muzhi ......"
"Hey, you want to make this book into a movie?"
"How?"
"Good! but ......"
"There's something else to the money, don't worry. ”
"Sure enough, it's the strongest superintendent in Japan!"
When the two of them said this, they both laughed unconsciously.
I don't know if this smile is a ghost, or if it's 'pretending', but this "Thief of Officials" ......
That's right, Yuki Kusano knows very well that this is "Let the Bullets Fly".
