He said he didn't understand the charm of the show, and bluntly said, "Why do audiences like to watch an uncle eat so much, and watch eight seasons when they watch it." I still don't know what's so interesting about the show. ”

Uncle is really straight. In this regard, the host's answer can be described as the voice of our audience:

"Because watching you eat really feels super delicious!"

However, Shu continued to "spit bitter water" and revealed his poignant history in filming "Lonely Foodie":

"Every day before the shoot I had to go hungry, and I was starving to death. When the next day of shooting, the face will naturally show a 'delicious' expression. ”

Uncle himself has a small appetite, but out of the needs of the plot, he has to eat the food clean. As he grew older, such a shooting was indeed a challenge for his body.

In fact, this is not the first time that Uncle has complained about "Lonely Foodie", once in the new Year's Eve SP of the show, he complained that "this is a bit like the Big Stomach King program":

Uncle has revealed in an interview before: the current hit "Lonely Foodie" was not satisfactory when it was first broadcast.

"When I first got the script and the comic, I wondered who would watch me eating alone in the middle of the night. The audience shouldn't be happy, right? Maybe after a few years of filming, some people will laugh at why I would shoot such a scene. So I don't really want to talk to anyone about this work. ”

Because his image was different from the manga of the same name, "Inokashita Goro", Shu received a lot of criticism at the time. There have been several times when I didn't want to shoot again, and then I didn't expect this drama to be filmed from 2012 to the present.

The so-called all things can not escape the "law of true incense", and now everyone will have Pavlov's reaction as soon as they see Uncle: they can't help but drool and be hungry; when they see Uncle eating, the chicken legs in their hands are even more fragrant:

"It's all about your mood and you're free to enjoy every moment of your meal."

"Lonely Foodie" is the first TV series work starring Shu in decades, adapted from the comic of the same name, the comic has only produced two single books, and the series has been filmed for 8 seasons since 2012, each season is rated more than 9 points.

In the play, Matsushige Plays An ordinary, BMW-driven middle-aged single uncle Goro, in his opinion, there is nothing more important than eating, even his ex-star girlfriend has to be ranked after the food.

Every time Goro finishes his work, he will follow his inner voice to find different foods that respond to this sound, and alone open up many maps of Japanese, Korean and Chinese cuisines for us.

Goro's eating appearance is very natural, even when eating grilled meat, pasta, and curry food, his white shirt is always clean. Every time there is a "WIFI" signal on his forehead, it means that the food is very tasty.

For each meal, Shu has a unique psychological description and exquisite eating method, and his gourmet eating has been promoted to a must-have for thousands of boys and girls. No wonder everyone will see the uncle will move their fingers, even people who are sick and have no appetite will want to eat when they see the uncle.

Shu shows the ultimate meaning of "food for one": freedom, pleasure, healing.

With his remarkable performance in "The Lonely Foodie", Matsushige was recently nominated for "Best Actor at the 2020 Busan Film Festival Asian Content Awards":

This is the second time that the play has won the award overseas after winning the Seoul Drama Awards "Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year" in 2018.

Regarding "Lonely Foodie", which coexists with word of mouth and strength, as "black history", Shu zhen is "interesting and not self-aware".

Speaking of "black history", Matsushige toyo is simply a "happy comedian", today Xiaotong will talk to you about the various jokes left by his uncle surfing on the Internet

01 Surfing the web

The first is shu's feud with Instagram and Twitter.

Last year, Shu rushed to the hot search in China and Japan because he angrily closed his ins and Twitter accounts, because after Shu submitted information, these two social platforms did not give him celebrity certification:

Uncle submitted a copy of his driver's license, but still could not pass the Instagram certification, and the same thing happened on his twitter. So at the end of June last year, he decided to close the two accounts.

After all, zhenxin still paid wrongly, and uncle also specially bought books to learn to learn to send ins before:

Didn't expect ins to treat him like this, ins you have no heart.

However, after more than a year, Shu returned to Instagram on September 25 this year, mainly to promote his first book, "Empty Hole", "Empty Hole":

However, ins still did not certify the uncle, so the uncle took out the seal and stamped himself for certification:

This wave of online surfing skills is really powerful, but the most pure surfing skills of the uncle depend on his operation on Chinese social platforms.

Shu entered Sina Weibo last year and also made his home at Station B this year. These two platforms quickly authenticated Shu, but at first due to Shu's unskilled operation, the Weibo account name was quite playful:

If you don't read Weibo authentication, you still think it's a "zombie number".

Uncle's account is updated quite diligently, but the screen is full of a strong smell of "machine flipping":

From the initial words are not up to the intention to the current smooth short sentences, you can see that Shu has the Chinese of hard work and hard work. Although sometimes it is still unknown, it is inexplicably cute.

Soon after, he came to Beijing to participate in the Beijing International Film Festival:

In an interview with our media, Shu once revealed that he had minored in Chinese in college, worked in a Chinese restaurant in Japan when he was a student, and learned the essence of Chinese dumplings from his aunt in the restaurant. He once proudly described himself as "the best dumpling maker in Japanese show business."

Shu has an excellent popularity, on the one hand, in his true temperament as a comedian outside the play, and on the other hand, in the large and small roles he has created with diligence and earnestness for decades in the industry, in which he has created a reassuring and comfortable model of "Japanese cute uncle".

02 Japanese Uncle Meng

Shu was born in Fukuoka Prefecture on January 19, 1963. At the High Chinese Festival, Shu wrote and directed his own films, realizing his dream of acting for the first time. Later, he came to Meiji University to study drama with a "director's dream", and his interests shifted from film to stage drama.

In 1986, after graduating from Shu University, he entered the studio of the famous director Yukio Kuagawa and mastered drama. After leaving the group, he was getting farther and farther away from the "actor" road, he went to work for a construction company, and then returned to the actor's path because of the persuasion of actor Masanobu Katsumura.

For the next 30 years, Shu played various supporting roles until 2012, when he starred in "The Lonely Foodie".

As the "ace uncle of Japanese opera", uncle has performed brilliantly in many Japanese dramas.

He is the gangster Aaron in "Late Night Canteen", who loves octopus sausages, looks fierce and evil, is gentle and soft at heart, and has a beautiful emotional relationship with Xiao Shou shou Sang:

In the blink of an eye, in "The Prosecutor's Sinner", which was performed with Takuya Kimura, the big god Kimura created a completely different gangster image:

From popular gangsters, criminal police officers to gourmets, Shu used his fickle acting skills to create a reassuring and comfortable image of "Japanese uncle" and won everyone's love.

And this year he has become a cute cat uncle.

"Miss Cat Village Today" is adapted from the manga of the same name, telling the story of a cat who wants to work to earn money to learn English, and then goes abroad to meet the life-saving benefactor, so that he becomes a nanny in a troubled family, and Ryuichi Sakamoto is responsible for the soundtrack.

The uncle wore a pink cat maid costume and became a cute cat uncle who could do housework.

After decades of tempering, Shu's performance is very natural, without any trace of performance, can take you into the set environment, and the details are handled delicately.

Shu's outstanding performance also benefits from his habit of loving reading and writing. For Shu, acting and writing complement each other.

03 Shinshin

On October 24, Shu published his first book work, "Empty Hole", and at the age of 57, he became a new writer.

Toyo Matsushige: "The Lonely Foodie" is the black history of my acting career

"Empty Hole" is divided into two parts: "Fool's Whisper" and "Actor's Joke", which contains 12 short stories and 25 essays, mainly the story between Shu's daily life and the story with food.

In the new book, Shu shows the "sense of violation" he feels as an actor, and weaves a unique sense of rhythm with his words to peek into the incredible feelings behind the actors.

"The Fool's Whisper" is about an actor who did not have a day to meet Maitreya Bodhisattva at the temple, reflecting Shu's real life experience.

This is the story that takes place at a temple in Kyoto. It turned out that my uncle had studied Buddhism at a temple in Kyoto, reading the Prajnaparamita Sutra and zazen. At some point at that time, he had an epiphany that "life is not completely determined by his own value", so he completely eliminated his attachment as an actor and left behind the worry of "this role should be played this way". Learned to give up and become more free.

"It used to be this wanted, that wanted that. Now at this grade, you must know how to 'give up' and stop giving yourself unnecessary expectations. ”

So, as the title suggests, Shu is now an "empty container", able to put down any role on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can live a better life more easily.

In fact, Shu has a talent for writing novels since he was a child, and he loves to read books, and is a literal literary teenager. In him, reading and writing complement performance, the former allowing him to better understand the context of the script and exercise his imagination of lines and subtexts.

At the same time, reading and writing can soothe the uncle as an actor. He confessed that he has always been confused about being an actor, and writing is his own outlet, which can make him happy.

"Writing a novel is an inner dependency. I look at the joys and pains I experience in my life and write at the same time, which is really a mixed feeling. ”

This year, due to self-censorship, uncle felt helpless and confused when he was at home, and his continuous writing at this time also contributed to the publication of this new book.

"Turning tragedy into comedy is the job of the performer. I think it's an honor to be able to write a book that makes everyone happy during this period, to be able to show such power. ”

Happiness is swallowed, sorrow is chewed; if pleasure is chewed, sorrow is chewed. Shu is like an empty vessel that can hold all things and feel sorrow and joy.

In the impression of most people, Shu is a food blogger with his own comedic attributes, but in fact he has his own unique and profound thinking about life.

Whether it's spitting on "The Lonely Foodie" or showing off various web surfing skills, Shu's "black history" shows his true disposition, which brings him closer to our lives, just as he left us with the impression he left on "The Lonely Foodie":

This seemingly tall and mighty neighbor uncle, who is actually gentle in heart, allows us to get a little healing in our impetuous life.
