Chapter 164: Thou shalt not blaspheme

I have to say that Ken Takakura is really young, in fact, the peak of his appearance is about forty years old, and when he was too young, he didn't have the masculine smell that everyone is familiar with, and now he looks more mature and cold.

During the banquet, he didn't say much, and many times he just sat there quietly and watched everyone chat.

Because this person is very self-disciplined and has a serious cleanliness habit for women, even Takeshi Kitano and Nobuyoshi Araki didn't dare to bring the wind ** actors to join in the fun, so they invited another female guest, Rie Miyazawa.

Rie Miyazawa is a new generation of actors, pure and beautiful, about the same age as Harumi Hachiman, but she debuted much earlier, signed a graphic model at the age of eleven, and started acting at the age of fifteen, which is already considered a senior.

Su Changqing is quite familiar with Miyazawa, when she was eighteen years old, her mother published a nude photo, which sold more than 1.6 million copies in Japan, and the sales were amazing, becoming a phenomenal masterpiece.

What's even more amazing is that this photo book was actually published in the mainland, and some people are still surprised by this thirty years later, after all, Japan only allowed the legal publication of naked in 91 years, and it was introduced in the same year.

Of course, Su Changqing, who had just entered the university, couldn't afford this kind of luxury, but after borrowing and studying from his classmates, eighteen-year-old Miyazawa was still a little baby fat, not big.

In addition, two years ago, she acted in the Japanese version of "Journey to the West", playing Tang Seng, which also caused a wave of heated discussions in China: Tang Seng has become such a beautiful nun, no wonder the goblins want to eat her.

Rie Miyazawa should be the most popular Japanese actress who has worked with China the most, and later made several Hong Kong and Taiwan films.

Twenty years later, Su Changqing also watched her latest work "Paper Moon" on the Internet, playing a female employee who used a bank loophole to defraud her pension, wantonly squandered her little white face, and scolded the bank executives after defeat, and actually successfully fled overseas.

If you don't understand Japanese corporate culture, you can't understand this kind of film.

Rie Miyazawa just finished working with Ken Takakura last year in the movie "The Assassin of the Forty-Seven", which is considered an acquaintance, and is currently filming a TV series with Takuya Kimura, very busy, but the seniors dare not come.

And both of them were very attentive, and they specially watched "Moving Labyrinth" during the day to avoid being rude when talking during the banquet.

However, everyone didn't talk deeply, Takeshi Kitano didn't seem to care, but he was actually a little depressed: "The movie is an old movie if you play it once." ”

Takeshi Kitano has indeed been unlucky enough in the past two years, not to mention the injury of the fall, the results of the last two movies "Rhapsody of Sex" and "Sonata" were not satisfactory, so that he doubted that he was exhausted.

There have been rumors that his motorcycle accident may have been a suicide attempt.

It's normal to have this kind of speculation, and two years ago he publicly said that he wanted to die.

There is a very peculiar phenomenon, many actors in the comedy industry are depressed, and the master level is no exception, even Mr. Bean was once rumored to be severely depressed and wanted to die, you can imagine how painful it is to be a soul, trying to make others laugh all day long, but his heart is cold and dark.

During the dinner, everyone talked more about some anecdotes of personal experience, because Takakura was alive, and the atmosphere was not as warm and relaxed as last time.

Gradually, he still talked about the film market, after all, the height is different, Takeshi Kitano and Ken Takakura have expressed their worries about the development of Asian films.

There has been little progress, the influence has always been limited, and the previous unique Ren Xia and martial arts genre films have gradually declined.

The topic was a little unremarkable, and Harumi Harumi Harumi Hawata made a suggestion: "Can Evergreen-kun and Kitano-kun collaborate to make a movie, and ask Takakura-sao senior to star?"

Su Changqing, Takeshi Kitano and Ken Takakura looked at each other, this idea sounds good, but I'm afraid it's not easy to operate.

There have been precedents for Sino-Japanese co-productions, in the 80s, I filmed "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" to reflect on the war, and I filmed "Dunhuang" to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.

Su Changqing just filmed a commercial film "Moving Labyrinth" cooperated by actors from the Three Kingdoms, and then another similar one may not work, even if it is changed to another type, it will be suspected of fried cold rice.

He and Takeshi Kitano can both write and direct, and it is okay to cooperate in the division of labor, but Takeshi Kitano can't write Japanese stories Su Changqing can't shoot well, and Su Changqing can't play well when he writes Chinese stories Takeshi Kitano, so cooperation is definitely not good, Su Changqing can write Japanese stories for them to film, and whether the audience can accept it is a question.

What's more, it is even more difficult to get it if it is tailor-made for Ken Takakura.

Six years later, Lao Mouzi invited Ken Takakura to play the role of Jet Li in "Hero", which was nameless and was rejected, and Ken Takakura said that he didn't want to play a hero anymore.

Later, he co-produced "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", which was not very successful.

Ken Takakura spoke: "If you want to cooperate, make a film with social significance, and forget it for purely commercial considerations." ”

If you don't think about business, you don't want to make money.

When a person has developed to the height of Ken Takakura in the year of the sixtieth year, the pursuit is the realm and historical positioning, not money, and he is not short of money.

Who wants to take the initiative to do things that don't make money?

It's a bit hard to talk about this topic, Takeshi Kitano has three plays in a row that are not very profitable, and there are so many people in the studio who have to feed him and don't dare to take any more risks.

He has said more than once: "The money I make by going to TV every day is posted to the movie in a blink of an eye." ”

Su Changqing's career has just started, and compared with Ken Takakura, who has made more than 200 movies, he is undoubtedly pediatric, and he has not yet reached the stage of pursuing historical positioning.

Don't think that the light of a superstar is easy to borrow, the more serious the image of a person of Ken Takakura's magnitude will be solidified, and the degree of creative freedom will be greatly restricted, it is not easy to go to the next level, don't ruin your reputation if you don't make money.

Even so, Su Changqing still had an idea, so he asked Takakura Ken: "The predecessors have been trying to subvert the previous screen image, I don't know how far you are willing to go?"

Although Ken Takakura stopped playing a hot-blooded violent man more than ten years ago, his subsequent image was basically based on silence, arrogance, and affection, and he did not try other genres.

"I'm willing to challenge anyone who hasn't tried before. ”

This is easy to say, but he is willing to be the Japanese audience, and it is not wise to go against the audience.

Ken Takakura is already a god in the clouds, and he cannot be blasphemed.

According to Lao Mouzi, he and Ken Takakura sat in a lobby bar for more than an hour, and there were people in the lobby, and some Japanese people recognized him, so they walked to the door of the bar, bowed deeply from a distance away, and left, without alarming them, so forty or fifty people bowed deeply to him back and forth, and quietly left.

Is there any actor in China who is respected for this?

Su Changqing couldn't think of it, could such an actor arrange roles for him casually?

Not necessarily, why not?

Su Changqing does not have the worship mentality of the Japanese, as long as he can write a good script, Takakura Ken can accept it, and he can cooperate.

It should be that Su Changqing is eager to try, and Kitano Takeshi has a drink with him: "The script in my studio is not suitable for Takakura's seniors, and the future development direction needs to be adjusted urgently, do you have any suggestions?"

Su Changqing didn't rush to say more: "I do have a story, and I will try to write it next, and I will show it to the two seniors at that time." ”
