There was once a saying about actresses in Hong Kong film circles, that you can either fight or take off. Well-known porn stars include Ye Yuqing, Weng Hong, Li Lizhen, Xia Wenxi, etc. For female stars, there are Michelle Yeoh, Hui Yinghong, Hu Huizhong, Li Saifeng, Yang Lijing, etc., but if it is actual combat, they and Oshima Yukari are still short of the fire. So why did she learn martial arts back then, and why did she want to be an actor?
Yukari Oshima started practicing martial arts in the third grade of middle school. At about 15 years old, her mother wanted her to learn a little bit of martial arts in order to improve her concentration, that is, judo, karate, and kendo. Whether it’s Aikido or Aikido, anything is fine, as long as it is related to Tao. The first dojo she went to see was karate, and the people in it were very etiquette. She was very touched and decided to learn karate. After that, she continued to practice martial arts and participated in competitions. At the same time, she was still karate hard and soft with a black belt. .
When I was 18 years old, Oshima Yukari wanted to go to the Japan Sports University in Tokyo to be a physical education teacher. When I planned to obtain a qualification certificate as a physical education teacher there, I accidentally watched Jackie Chan’s "Younger Brother" and watched it. Later, Oshima Yukari thought that his profession should not be a physical education teacher, but an action movie actor. Thinking about it this way, she feels that she should go to Hong Kong, and since then she has started various trainings to become a Hong Kong film actor.
Finally, at the age of 23, she starred in her first Hong Kong film under the recommendation of "Master" Yasuaki Kurata, which is "Fortune Train" directed by Sammo Hung in 1986, where Hung and Yasuaki Kurata appeared. The Japanese robbed the treasure map. The biggest thing about this film is its strong lineup. Except for the bug-level "Banquet of the Giants", I can't think of a Hong Kong movie with a stronger lineup.
Director Chen Xunqi gave her an invitation after she played "The Train of Fortune", which was later "Best Thief Partner". After she understood the plot of the story, she found it very interesting, and then she agreed to participate in the performance and so on. Aspect problem. "Train of Fortune" was released in 1986, and "Best Thief Partner" was not released until 1990. I don't know why it took so long. In the film, Gali starred as a policewoman on Oshima, who used Chen Xunqi and Mo Shaocong to solve the crime and pretended to be in love with Chen Xunqi. When talking about the director Chen Xunqi, Oshima Yukari said that he is humorous in acting, but he is a serious person and he is very strict at work.
At the same time, Oshima Yukari also mentioned one thing. In the last fight, she wanted to add her own personal style to the fight. She has been fighting with Jeffrey for a long time, and the two of them also made moves like this. It's not appropriate. It's not appropriate to make a move like that. It's frozen there. What should I do next with my left hand, left foot, and right hand, is helpless for a while. During the rest, director Chen Xunqi said to give Jackie Chan, who was filming nearby, give him a try and ask him to come over and see if he had any good ideas. After Jackie Chan arrived, he arranged a scene and told Yukari Oshima that you can play like this, play like this, play like this, what do you think? After the arrangement of
was completed, Oshima Yukari sighed that Jackie Chan’s design was too strong. He also praised him as a god, and his movements came out very smoothly. He also said that this was an unforgettable shot of his own. Before Jackie Chan came, two assistants followed him. When he left, he left one person on the set and told the director Chen Xunqi that if anything happened, let him help you, and then went back to the set by himself.
Director Chen Xunqi is a recognized film all-rounder in the circle. He and Jackie Chan are also old friends for decades and have collaborated on many works. Chen Xunqi used to be "Drunken Master 2" and "The Flying Eagle Project"The deputy director of "Zodiac" and the screenwriter of "The Chinese Zodiac", he once said that the works he has worked with Jackie Chan "are as unclear as hair." The director Chen Xunqi also started under Jackie Chan's suggestion. He has directed classic works such as "Little Fox Fairy", "Goodbye to the Iraqi", "The Prodigal Son" and "Shanghai Tango". And he also said: As long as Jackie Chan invites himself, I will be invited.
said back to Oshima Yukari, she and Chen Xunqi also collaborated in a "Dragon Conquest", which is also an action crime film. She and Chen Xunqi starred in a pair of siblings and died in the end. It was precisely these two encounters, so Oshima Yukari was invited to participate in "The Female General of the Yang Family: Military Orders" directed by Chen Xunqi in 2011. You must know that at that time, Oshima Yukari had been inactive for many years, and the performance of "Yang After "Goal Girl General: Military Orders Are Like Mountains", Oshima Yukari completely retreated.
The above movies are not enough to become the masterpiece of Yukari Oshima. One of her personal favorites is Tenwang Nishikura in "The King of Power". He is cruel, clean and quick-tempered at the beginning. In addition, she has also cooperated with Michiko Nishikyo, who is also a Japanese actress, many times, such as "The Royal General" and "Bahai Hongying", and also cooperated with Li Saifeng in "Angel Action" and "Stealing God Family" "The Detective Shuangjiao", "Golden Triangle Heroes", "Tinder", "Angel Special Police" and other films. At the same time, she and the action actor Qiu Yunbo have also collaborated in films such as "Supreme Special Police", "Across the World" and "Law Enforcement Dragon".
Oshima Yugali has a deep connection with the Hong Kong entertainment industry. "Master" Yasuaki Kurata is a living fossil of Hong Kong movies. Then she had a relationship experience with Zheng Haonan and Gao Fei. She once encouraged Lu Zheng and Gao Nan to change boldly. Also praised her. Oshima Yugali appeared in mostly low-cost action movies, which may not be good on the big screen, but he was a frequent visitor in the video room back then. Many people grew up watching her films.
, and her stage name is Cynthia Luster. It is said that she is currently teaching martial arts at the martial arts gym and has been around for many years. After all, she is still a teacher. However, her experience is more than 20 years of film career, I believe this is also her best memory! At the same time, thank her for the many classics she has brought to us, and wish her all the best!
