Recently, looking back at the classic films of director Feng Xiaoning's year, the most impressive roles are Xue'er and Danzhu in "Red River Valley", and of course, the pure girl in the sailor suit in "Purple Sun", Qiu Yezi.
Suddenly remembered, Akibazi, no, should be called Maeda Zhihui, she is actually thirty-eight years old this year, Ben four people, time passes too quickly.
1. Pure, stubborn and crying girl
Born on March 8, 1981 to a working-class family in Tokyo, Japan, Maeda loved acting and attended art school in Japan before coming to Beijing in 2000 to apply for the Beijing Film Academy.
Due to her limited Chinese and stuttering in Chinese, the examiners were hesitant at first, but in the end Maeda passed the exam with her love and dedication to acting.
When she learned that she had passed the exam, Maeda Actually burst into tears, and her simplicity left a very big impression on the examiners and teachers.
Maeda Zhihui, who was admitted to the 2000 class of the Beijing Film Academy, became a classmate with Dong Xuan, and she worked hard to improve her Chinese level while studying acting, and she was also a rare foreign student in the Beijing Film Academy.
Feng Xiaoning, who was preparing to shoot "Purple Sun", wanted to find a pure Japanese girl, and Professor Chen Hun of the Beijing Film Academy recommended Maeda Zhihui to Feng Xiaoning, and when Feng Xiaoning first saw her, he decided that this pure little girl was Qiu Yezi.
However, Autumn Leaf, who does not have much acting experience, did not give Feng Xiaoning a headache when filming "Purple Sun", according to Maeda Zhihui, she did not suffer from the director's scolding when filming in the crew, Maeda Zhihui is a typical Japanese little girl, who wants to cry when she is scolded, and she is afraid of causing trouble for everyone. Fortunately, stubbornly, she also withstood the pressure and perfectly completed the shaping of autumn leaves.
In an interview, Maeda Tomoe revealed that she often imagines Akiba leaves as a soul pinned on her body when she performs, and she is Akiba when she performs, and it is Maeda Tomoe after the end of work. This movie is equivalent to her and Akihazi working together. I have to say that her idea is very Japanese, and the so-called soul wear is probably what it means.
Although Maeda's theory of "soul performance" sounds a bit maddening, when you think about it, this is actually the highest state of performance investment, the unity of human drama. Maeda Tomoe completely forgot the feeling of Akibachi long after the film was made, and the professionalism of this little girl is very respectable.
It is also because of the combination of Maeda Chie and Akibachi that the audience sees a three-dimensional image of Akibata from the movie, her purity, distortion, happiness and pain, making her an unforgettable landscape in this movie.
Until now, I believe that most of the audiences who have seen the movie "Purple Sun" will still call her Autumn Leaf, and even many viewers do not know her real name. Well, in fact, many people don't know what the real names of Maumi and Junko Oga are.
2. The Little-Known "Autumn Rain"
Although through the film "Purple Sun", Maeda Zhihui opened up her popularity in the Chinese film industry, and in her senior year, she was also named one of the 100 new stars in China's film and television, and she was selected with Duan Yihong, Huang Zhizhong, Lin Yongjian and others. But she didn't receive many scenes, and most of them were supporting roles or cameos.
In 2005, Maeda Chie, a recent graduate, starred with Jin Dong, who was five years older than her, in a war-reflective film, Autumn Rain.
The film "Autumn Rain" is not very famous, but its content and connotation are quite excellent. In the film, Maeda Played a Japanese girl who went to Beijing to study Peking Opera, Hashimoto Gardenia, and Jin Dong played He Ming, a descendant of the Peking Opera family.
The two young people have developed feelings in life and study, and Jin Dong also staged a warm and romantic kiss scene with Maeda Zhihui rarely, you know
Now Jin Dong's kiss drama section is often ridiculed by netizens because it is too blunt.
No coincidence, the grandfather of Hashimoto Gardenia was actually the Japanese soldier who killed He Ming's grandfather, and in the face of national hatred and family hatred, the two young people finally abandoned their previous suspicions and walked together.
The final climax of the film is That Ming He and Gardenia Hashimoto performing the Peking opera "Shiro Visits His Mother" on stage, and Maeda Tomoe's princess appearance is also quite stunning.
It should be said that the level of Chinese Maeda Zhihui in this movie is already very high, and the level of acting skills is also very skilled, she could have continued to develop, and in 2005, she also served as an assistant to Hiroyuki Sanada of the "Wuji" crew. However, she chose to return to Japan in the end.
Three, happy little woman
Back in Japan, Maeda Hassan has received relatively few exposures, and she once hosted a Chinese teaching program on Japan's NHK television station, giving full play to her outstanding advantages in Chinese.
At other times, she often participated in cameos in some TV series, such as the Japanese drama "OL Japan" with Chinese actors such as Hu Bing, and recently made a cameo appearance in a TV series "Genius Butler". In addition, Maeda Tomoe is also a supporter and collaborator of the famous Japanese director Shunji Iwai, and she can often be seen on social platforms to like Shunji Iwai's works and dynamics.
Of course, Maeda also often travels back and forth between China and Japan to do some cultural exchange work, and interacts with her Beijing Film Academy alumni on a daily basis.
Today, Maeda Tomoe already has her own child, and her son, who was just two or three years old, is cute, so Maeda Chie, a once pure girl, Akihaba, has inevitably become a "sunbath demon".
