Recently, a drama called "Devouring Village" exploded.
After three episodes online, the Douban score rushed to 8.5, and the reputation was quite good.
The chilling "cannibalism" theme is accompanied by bloody and violent pictures.
East Asian folklore horror inside, there is.
The audience loved and feared it, and was once again amazed by the acting skills and expressiveness of the male protagonist Liu Le Yumi:
The man who defeated Tony Leung at the age of 14 is finally back.
At the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, Tony Leung, who has always been tepid, was rarely angry in front of the camera:
"I originally thought that no one could threaten me as a movie actor, who knew that a child would win."
This person is 14-year-old Yuya Yanagura.
The dark skin and childish face are nothing special at first glance.
But those eyes seemed to be able to speak, and under the corners of the oblique eyes, there was a hidden and determined strength.
In 2002, it was Hirokazu Kore-eda who was looking for actors for the movie "Nobody Knows" that he had been thinking for many years.
Since he couldn't find an actor who matched his heart, it was Hirokazu Kore-eda who was ready to delay the start-up.
At this time, the firm handed over a new child's resume, and the black and white page could not cover the sharpness of his eyebrows.
It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who wanted to try his luck and invited him to meet.
The moment he walked into the room, it was Kore-eda who was touched by the power emanating from his eyes, and his spirit flashed: "That's him"!
Yuya Yanagi, who knows nothing about the future, was pushed onto the acting career in such a daze.
In "Nobody Knows", Yuya Yanagi plays the eldest in the family, who takes on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings alone after his mother disappears.
The whole film is shot in a documentary way, and under the warm and real lens, the lives of the four children bloom and wither like wildflowers.
The natural performance allowed him to defeat Tom Hanks and Tony Leung in one fell swoop, and won the Cannes actor that year.
This is the youngest actor in Cannes history and the first Cannes actor in Japan.
The huge honor made him instantly become the "comet of miracle birth" in the media's mouth.
Time magazine called him an "Asian hero" and the Japanese government awarded him the title of "Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology."
Overnight, he went from "no one knows" to no one knows.
Faced with a life-changing opportunity, he was only 14 years old and had a better vision in his heart.
He envisioned a higher level of art, and even wanted to become a "Hollywood star" for a time.
However, the huge praise became his aura and became his shackles for the next decade.
Shy, gentle, and not good at words, is the media's biggest impression of Yuya Yanagi.
In the face of the reporter's relentless pursuit, he often has to be silent for a while, and then show a flattering smile.
But this unadulterated love and innocence was quickly shattered by the gap in reality.
After becoming famous, he continued to work, but his mentality completely changed -
No longer regard acting as a relaxing experience, but force every performance to be perfect, worthy of the title of "youngest Cannes actor".
But the reality often backfires. The subsequent films not only received a mediocre response, but also failed at the box office one after another, and pounced silently.
Everyone says "it's time to be famous," but no one tells 14-year-olds how to balance their own expectations with the outside world.
After becoming famous, his life changed drastically, and the classmates around him distanced themselves from him.
Confused, lonely, lonely, those most glorious days were also the paths he did not want to mention.
With no one to help him and no one to guide him, he chose to end it all.
Once again, it was the big-character newspaper of his suicide attempt.
The 18-year-old swallowed 100 sleeping pills in a fit of excitement because of an argument with his parents, but fortunately his parents found out in time to be treated.
The neighbor's wife was surprised when she learned the news, "That's a child who smiles and waves hello when he sees everyone"!
Optimistic on the surface, his inner order has long collapsed.
As soon as the news came out, the media who had pursued him called him a "rebel boy", and there were few movie invitations left.
At this point, he chose to slide into the abyss of self-abandonment and flee into high-calorie food to seek solace.
Overeating made him quickly weigh 160 pounds, and senior Kanzaburo Nakamura saw him again, was startled by his appearance, and persuaded him to give up his acting career with extremely sharp words:
"You look so disgusting!"
The all-round collapse of his life left him completely unbalanced, and when he saw that his life was about to derail, his lover and children saved him.
"When did you fall in love with her?"
"First meeting."
At the high school entrance ceremony, when I met Airi Toyoda for the first time, Yuya Yanagi became obsessed with this cute and talkative girl.
Two people who are quite indentured naturally fell in love and dated for 4 years.
When Yuya Yanaguraku was 20 years old, they suddenly announced their marriage, which caused a major earthquake in the Japanese entertainment industry.
When it comes to the reason for her young marriage, Allie said that she firmly believes that she will not meet a better and more suitable person than Yuya Yanaguraku in the future.
After marriage, the two soon had a daughter, and looking at the smiling faces of her family, Liu Le felt a huge sense of responsibility in her heart:
If you continue to muddle through, the child will grow up to face a worthless father.
With the unconditional support of his family, he decided to reinvigorate himself and forget about his previous honors and failures and start over.
20-year-old Liu Le is polishing his acting skills through stage plays while working everywhere to subsidize his family.
During the most bitter and tiring period, he washed 3,500 cars in 10 months and worked as hard as if he was "regaining his youth".
Later, he worked as a waiter in an izakaya and was ridiculed by the customer: Isn't this that Yanagi Yuya? Come and sign me.
Downcast and pitiful, became the biggest label on him in those years.
It's just that he walked away from the ghost door once, and he will never give up as easily as he was 18 years old.
In 2014, Yuya Yanagi officially returned to the screen and made a small cameo role in the "Nobunaga Concerto" starring Shun Oguri.
Although he received a box lunch in one episode, he contributed impressive acting skills.
In "Generation of Confusion", he plays a gangster who speaks with his fists, with very little dialogue, but he can see a fire burning under the calm from his eyes and limbs.
The film was selected as one of the top ten films of the year by the Shunbao newspaper, and the 26-year-old won the Best Actor Award at the Yokohama Film Festival.
It has been a full 12 years since he last got the actor.
Holding the hard-won honor, he cried like a child.
Takeshi Kitano's autobiography "Asakusa Kid", released last year, let the audience see his seemingly intangible and delicate acting skills.
He has finally returned, with innate talent, and humility and hard work that has endured thousands of sails.
The kid who claimed to have won the actor "by luck" finally won back real recognition for himself.
Looking back at Yuya Yanagi's journey, his life is full of drama.
One "accident" after another in his life made him constantly hit a wall and grew rapidly.
Referring to his past experience, he said with a smile:
"Maybe it's because of the tribulation, I can better assume the role."
The mood of wanting to be recognized is the same as always, but it knows how to regulate the balance between self-demand and external vision, which is the calmness of adults.
The boy who used to have clear eyes finally exuded the brilliance of the stars.
