In 1978, in an era when entertainment products were extremely scarce, my country released the first foreign film, "The Hunt" from Japan. The story is probably that the prosecutor played by Takakura Ken was accused of guilt for no reason. In order to prove his innocence, he not only had to avoid police searches and hunts, but also had to go through hardships to find the truth, and finally the story of a double harvest in his love career.
This movie was very impactful for the public at the time. At that time, "Little Fresh Meat" was very popular in China, and their images were all white and clean. Well-behaved, after the film was broadcast, not only did a large number of audiences imitate the costumes, but spiritually, the image of Takakura Ken’s unsmiling tough guy became the ideal type in the hearts of many women, and a group of butter niches led by Tang Guoqiang suffered a great deal. Based on this impact, some playwrights also created the play "Looking for a Man".
At this time, Zhang Yimou just entered the Beijing Film Academy to study. Like the public, he also deeply fell in love with the handsome guy in the film who wears a trench coat and sunglasses. At this time, Takakura Ken For him, it is still an idol that is beyond reach. However, as Zhang Yimou showed his talents, he was finally able to cooperate with Takakura Ken.
When he was filming "Hero", the killer played by Jet Li was originally intended to be played by Takakura Ken. The protagonist of this movie is tailored specifically for him. He is a dumb, and the design for dialogue with King Qin is also in Writing on the sand table, he is a person who wants to assassinate Qin all his life.
After Zhang Yimou told Gao Cangjian of this idea, Gao Cangjian immediately refused. He told Zhang Yimou:
I did not cooperate with you.
Zhang Yimou knows that Gao Cangjian is not an ordinary star in the entertainment circle. He is a person who really pursues art. Just like Zhang Yimou likes him, Gao Cangjian also appreciates Zhang Yimou’s talent, but he wants to get along Zhang Yimou's collaboration is a real and in-depth film.
Once he told Zhang Yimou: "As an international director, you must insist on your inner choice of art, and don't be restricted and controlled by the producer."
Zhang Yimou also felt that he was too superficial, so he took the script back to revise it and found Jet Li. Four years later, Zhang Yimou's return to literary work "A Thousand Miles of Walking Alone" once again found Takakura, this time he immediately agreed. Although he was 74 years old at the time, the professionalism of Takakura deeply moved Zhang Yimou.
"He is the actor I admire the most, and he has been my idol since early days."
Because of Takakura Ken’s age at that time To take care of him, Zhang Yimou will first finish filming Takakura's scenes and let him have time to rest. When work is over, the deputy director suddenly told him that Takakura has not left because everyone else in the crew is working, so he Can't go either. However, because they were afraid to disturb Zhang Yimou and the others, they stood at the corner of the mountain for 3 hours.
Later, after seeing all the crew members get on the car, they bowed in place before leaving. A lot of such small things happened. He took great care of the feelings of others, and even giving away things to others would not make them feel psychological pressure. When giving away a watch, he would wear the watch he was going to send out in his hand, and then pretend that the watch was not suitable for him, and then naturally give it to him, as did Zhang Yimou's clothes.
Later when Zhang Yimou talked about Takakura Ken, he spoke highly of him. After shooting the movie that year, he sent Takakura Ken back, and everyone in the crew cried into tears. This was a scene he had never seen before.view. When Zhang Yimou went to Japan, Takakura Ken would always greet him, and when he returned home, Takakura Ken would also watch him leave.
In order to not be so exciting, Takakura sometimes hides behind the car and leaves after bowing. Takakura's status in Japan is very high. After decades of filming, both his character and ability have been highly evaluated. Even the "venomous tongue" Kitano Takeshi is respectful in front of Takakura. Once the two agreed to meet in a remote corner of a hotel, many people bowed to Takakura, but he didn't know it.
In 2008, Zhang Yimou was appointed as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Takakura took a special effort to make a knife and gave it to Zhang Yimou. No matter in China, Japan also has its own special meaning. Takakura hopes that this knife can bless Zhang Yimou to successfully complete the opening ceremony.
Not only that, but Takakura also specially went to the temple to pray for Zhang Yimou, and he also asked the monk in the temple to read the words he wrote, which probably means that Zhang Yimou’s task is very heavy and the pressure is very high. Great, I hope he can go well. Zhang Yimou went to the Tokyo Film Festival and Takakura Ken, who had not walked the red carpet in 60 years, accompanied him on the red carpet. Because he is close to Zhang Yimou, Takakura Ken is often criticized in Japan, but regardless of the gossip, he still does what he recognizes in his heart.
Zhang Yimou said that there is a kind of sentiment in Gaocang fitness, which is silently endured and dedicated.
The "shi" mentioned by Zhang Yimou is not a Japanese samurai soldier, but a scholar-bureaucrat. It is the ultimate goal pursued by ancient Chinese scholars. Scholars have a kind of spirit, which is called follow the way and not follow the emperor. He always sticks to his inner thoughts and practices by himself. This is the charm of Takakura Ken.
There are few people in modern society who can be "real" like Takakura Ken. He is more casual to himself, but serious and sincere when treating others. Takakura Ken’s words and deeds include All reveal the character that our country has admired and yearned for since ancient times.
Therefore, when Takakura Ken passed away, Japan can be said to be a nationwide mourning, and the Chinese people also feel very sad. There are very few people who can have such an influence.
Strength and money cannot move people's hearts. They are something different. The best thing in the world is the mutual understanding and care between people.
He not only thinks this way, but also does so. Takakura has used his life to prove to people that a person can still live like this, full of idealism and hope, and regard love as the most important thing in life. .
Death does not take away Takakura Ken from the hands of the public, his life, his character will always shine in people's hearts.
A person has to experience three deaths in his life, the first is a physical death, the second is a funeral, and the third is forgotten by people. Takakura Ken uses his personal charm and works to live in this world forever.
