In [The Legend of the Demon Cat], as soon as Abe Nakamaru appeared, the eye waves flowed densely to Yang Guifei.
Fierce and pure.
It is also like the impression given by Abe Hiroshi that fire and water blend so harmoniously.
That kind of power will tell you that he is Abe Nakamaru, the horn who can pour out for others and can also dump others.
Integrate into Datang
■ Have you ever seen the Dream Pillow Tapir's "Shamen Air sea of the Great Tang Ghost Feast"?
□ Abe Hiroshi: I've read it and like it very, very much (laughs). It has a total of 4 volumes and is a very grand story.
I read it all at once, and it was very appealing to me, but I didn't expect to be able to completely visualize this work.
■Which part do you think is the most difficult to visualize?
□ Abe: It's hard to visualize, I don't know which part he will choose, because there are too many contents, too many elements, too many ups and downs, and it is very mysterious.
▲ Abe Kuan did not expect that Chen Kaige made this movie through the way of solving the puzzle of the air and sea
■ Before participating in [The Legend of the Demon Cat], what kind of existence was Datang in your heart?
□ Abe Kuan: At that time, the Japanese came to learn Tang culture as envoys to the Tang Dynasty.
So in my impression, Datang is a very prosperous era, and it has a light in my heart.
■ Director Chen Kaige restored the Datang, which places make you most breathtaking?
□ Abe: I didn't see the whole city in its entirety because it was too big. But finally had the opportunity to drive a lap.
The most impressive is the temple of the Great Buddha, namely the Qinglong Temple. Although it is a prop, it is actually true, and there are still monks in it.
The Buddha statue inside is very large, and it will be filmed in a movie.
There is also the city wall, more than 30 meters high wall arranged, is a very magnificent scene, when you see it, you are shocked, very amazing.
■ How long did you stay in Tangcheng during filming, and did you experience the life of the Tang Dynasty?
□ Abe Kuan: In fact, as soon as I entered that scene, I felt like Datang.
Many of the extras were dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes and had been inside, and when I went in, I felt like it was in the Tang Dynasty.
It's very easy to get into the role, which makes me think this role is very good to play.
■ Where do you think [The Legend of the Demon Cat] is a special surprise? What are your favorite clips?
□ Abe: I think it's all good overall. I played the part myself, of course, I thought it was good (laughs).
Kukai and Bai Lotte solved the puzzle all the way, and the shooting was also very good.
■ There are a lot of strange and chaotic elements in the movie, what do you think of these wild imaginations? Are there any similar works that I prefer?
□ Abe Hiroshi: Similar works can't be remembered for a while.
However, in fact, there is magic in the film, and the calyx Xianghui Building is all the magic of the Yellow Crane.
Because the emperor wanted to show the common people and the officials a very pleasant and luxurious scene, this and the outside were two worlds at that time.
▲ Abe Hiroshi felt that the world inside was very, very beautiful, and he was completely shocked in this world, as if he had integrated into this world
Pure lover
■What was your previous impression of Abe Nakamaru?
□ Abe: First of all, he is a very intelligent person.
He entered the Tang Dynasty at the age of 19, passed the exams very difficult, and won the trust of the emperor, sitting in a very high official position.
Then he also has a very good personality charm, and everyone who sees him thinks he is very popular.
In the end, he did not return to Japan, and he went to Vietnam on the way, and his life was full of ups and downs and full of colors.
■ What new features do you see in the new characters created by the film?
□ Abe Hiroshi: There is a poem about Abe Nakamaru (which should be "Looking at the Moon And Looking at The Land"), which is very famous in Japan.
During the filming, there was a love story between him and Yang Guifei, and his thoughts about Japan, which were not in the original book.
■ Originally, he was going to shoulder the heavy responsibility of bringing the noble concubine to Japan, but it was a betrayal to let the noble concubine fake her death.
□ Abe: I think it's interesting.
Abe Zhongmaru was a favored courtier of the emperor, and it was a betrayal of Yang Guifei, who represented the Tang Dynasty.
▲So Abe Hiroshi felt that there would be these two complicated feelings in it
■What is the main difference compared to the characters portrayed in the past?
□ Abe: The first time I played a role that was very pure to love someone, I basically played a perverted character (laughs).
This time it can only be performed with the body and eyes, which is very challenging. It is a great honor to play this role in Director Chen's film.
Sino-Japanese cooperation
■ How did you get involved in this movie?
□ Abe Hiroshi: About a month ago, I was filming [Everest: The Mountain of the Gods], which is also based on the original book of Mr. Dream Pillow Tapir.
At that time, the producer may have a relationship with Director Chen, so he asked me if I would like to star in Director Chen's film, but did not say what it was.
I felt very happy to be able to make a film with such a great director, so I decided to participate.
■Would you prefer the dream pillow tapir? Two films were made in a row.
□ Abe Hiroshi: I like him, he has works in various styles.
▲In fact, I have also filmed his previous works, a total of three
■ As early as 2000, you began to participate in foreign movies, such as "Tokyo Raiders", "Female Boxers", etc., and now it is "The Legend of the Demon Cat", how do you think it is different from the Japanese filming model?
□ Abe Hiroshi: [Tokyo Raiders] was shot in Japan, but there is a little difference, the script was given a day in advance, but I also enjoyed it, I thought it was very interesting.
[Female Boxer] is a Thai action movie, and the fighting content is very rich, so I can show a completely different version of myself.
■ How does it feel to cooperate with Zhang Rongrong, OuHao and others?
□ Abe: They were very polite, gentle to me, very helpful to me, and often gave me food to make me happy (laughs).
■ Did you impress any actor in particular?
□ Abe Hiroshi: The whole is very impressive, each has its own personality, very interesting. Especially Zhang Luyi, and Liu Peiqi.
Liu Peiqi has filmed [with you], and we all know him in Japan.
▲ Abe Hiroshi believes that it is a great honor to work with him in China
■ You are very Chinese, do you have any plans to make films in China in the future?
□ Abe: If there is this opportunity, I would like to act in a Sino-Japanese cooperation. In the future, if there is an opportunity for me to come, I am willing to cooperate with China and Japan all the time.
