In 2008, when Zhang Yimou was preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Takakura Jian came and gave him a samurai sword, and the translator echoed: "This knife is very expensive, you can buy a suite in Beijing." The reporter wondered: "Why choose to send a knife?" Is there any special significance? Ken Takakura's words touched many people.
In 1978, "The Hunt" became the first film released in the mainland. "Du Qiu" played by Ken Takakura is angular, has a firm expression, and has a unique oriental cold temperament.
The men of this mountain not only make many men awe, but also fascinate many women,
Not only that, but Ken Takakura's tough guy-style costumes in the play also attracted people's imitation. The garment factory used the trench coat of "Duqiu" as a template, and the trench coat was once popular.
At that time, Zhang Yimou also regarded Ken Takakura as an idol, and it can be said that Takakura's existence also brought great impetus to his future success.
Zhang Yimou has said more than once: "Ken Takakura is the actor I admire and admire the most." He is a true artist. ”
Later, Zhang Yimou achieved success in film, becoming one of the best directors in China. At this time, he also had the idea of inviting idols to participate in his own films.
In 2005, Zhang Yimou prepared to shoot "A Thousand Miles and a Single Ride", which is not a costume film, nor is it the story of Zhao Yun in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but an art film.
But Ken Takakura is 72 years old. When he received an invitation from Zhang Yimou, he was happy because he could go to China again to meet his old friend.
This is Ken Takakura's comeback after 4 years of retirement. For the sake of Zhang Yimou and his friendship, he was willing to go to Shaanxi to shoot.
Zhang Yimou said: Because he starred in the two movies "RailroadMan" and "Pursuit", I have seen these two works, and he is very attractive.
During the filming, Ken Takakura said: "I am not a tough guy at all. I was going to cry almost once every three days.
Zhang Yimou once revealed: "Before Ken Takakura came to China, he told me that he didn't want to cry, and he wouldn't cry this time. Unexpectedly, he cried several times on the scene of the movie, and he could not control his feelings. ”
In this shooting experience, he was attracted by China's culture and customs, and was also moved by Zhang Yimou's artistic achievements and professionalism.
Moreover, during the shooting process, Zhang Yimou took very good care of him, and he was also very moved!
Ken Takakura: "I will always remember the Chinese audience that gave me honors and applause. I hope to make a high-level film in China. My collaboration with Zhang Yimou will never be forgotten. ”
After the "Thousand Mile Ride", they formed a deep friendship. In 2006, when Ken Takakura heard that Zhang Yimou had been appointed as the general director of the opening ceremony of the 29th Beijing Olympic Games, he congratulated him.
Then he decided to pray for him and congratulate him. So Takakura Ken found several national treasure forging masters and customized a "treasure sword" for Zhang Yimou.
It is said to be worth more than a house in Beijing.
He once said: I really want to take Zhang Yimou as my son. Although we can't kowtow to our sons, our fathers and sons have a deep affection. Over the years, we have been in touch and exchanging gifts.
In 2014, the 84-year-old Ken Takakura closed his eyes and expressed regret for his death. It's a shame he didn't have any children in his life.
When the bad news came, Mr. Zhang Yimou sent a condolence document: he was shocked to learn that his best friend, Mr. Ken Takakura, had died. He was sad.
From one acquaintance to another, his voice and smile remained in front of him for more than a decade.
Although he was reluctant to believe the facts, his old friend was gone, and he had to mourn deeply. I wish him happiness in Tiantang!
I have to say that I believe that the friendship between this pair of year-old friends must be really very deep! #Say TA# #Entertainment Spotlight # #八卦手册 #
