Life is like a reverse journey, he is also a pedestrian.
At night, the news came that Mr. Renzaburō Furuhata had been away from this world for more than a month.
Masakazu Tamura died in hospital on April 3 from heart failure at the age of 77. The idol of this generation of Japanese stars has always had a bad heart, and after retiring in 2018, it is said that he bought a grave early and died to him, as if it was just a matter of course in his life.
Masakazu Tamura is most well known to domestic audiences, of course, fuji TV's classic mystery drama, "Furuhata Renzaburo", and some people have always said that if you have not seen "Furuhata Renzaburo", it is equivalent to not watching a Japanese drama.
007 there are many, superheroes can be replaced, and Furuhata Renzaburō is equal to Masakazu Tamura.
Many Chinese viewers prefer another translation of it, "Gentleman Policeman", compared to "Renzaburo Furuhata".
In the long years, this Japanese drama male god is like the drama, always personable and always polite.
After Kim Se-jae became famous in "Love Apartment", he bid farewell to this popular drama to study in Japan, and during the hunger and cold days in Japan, he wrote a letter to his idol Tamura Masakazu, who influenced him to enter the industry, counting his admirations and discussing with him how to become a good actor.
Originally, I thought that I would sink into the sea, but who knew that I would later get a reply from Masakazu Tamura.
One of the sentences, Jin Shijia used many years later to comfort a girl who was crying at the door of the theater: "About your encounters, that is your life, after the experience is wealth." 」 Life is too complicated, I am not clear about everything, I can give you four words: good feelings. ”
On May 18, 2021, after the gentleman walked for a month and a half, the audience who had seen "Furuhata Renzaburo" finally felt sad with hindsight, lamenting that the golden age of Japanese drama had passed away with those male god-like actors.
But the complicated encounters of life, I think, Mr. Tamura Masakazu and Mr. Tamura must have felt it well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > if Tamura Masakazu was born 20 years later, the king of Yan Yi would have nothing to do with Li Dog</h1>
Masakazu Tamura was over 50 years old when he took over the role in "Renzaburo Furuhata", but before that, he was already a well-known national actor in Japan.
He was born in 1943, his father Saburō Sakato was one of the famous actors of the Japanese silent film era.
Known for its gorgeous martial arts scenes and heroic screen heroes, he is known as the god of swords and swords in Japanese movies.
When Masakazu Tamura was nine years old, his father died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
From an early age he aspired to be a good actor like his father.
At the age of 16, he went to the shooting scene of the film "Flag Company" starring his brother Takahiro Tamura.
As a result, he was favored by the director and played a role.
In the second year, he starred in the movie "Forever Man". Officially debuted as an actor!
When he was young, Tamura Masakazu was handsome and handsome, with light in his eyes. Even today, I don't lose any small fresh meat.
But who would have thought that Masakazu Tamura of that era was a real king of yan art.
Really, quite ok.
What really made him famous was 1972's "Sleep Crazy Shiro", he played a lone swordsman with a bit of nihilistic atmosphere, fate is like reincarnation, probably he could not imagine, this is also his last work.
In those years, when Japanese movies were still sword and detective films, he and the two brothers of the Tamura family co-starred in "The Detective Story of the WakasaMa Tent Samurai", "Dry Weather", "Serenade of the Dead", etc. were very popular, and the three brothers also became the topic of discussion, known as the "Tamura Three Brothers".
But Tamura Masanobu probably couldn't imagine that the real fate would begin after the age of 50.
A comedy screenwriter told him to play a detective who had no power to tie his hands, fainted when he saw blood, and never shot.
The young screenwriter was Yukiki Mitani, who would later be known as the "King of Heisei Comedy", and the name he gave to the detective was Renzaburo Furuhata.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="119" > Japanese stars did not play a criminal in "Furuhata Renzaburo" that year, and did not dare to call themselves the top stream</h1>
In fact, at first, no one thought that this drama would become like that, but Mitani Yuki was responsible for writing a good story, and Tamura Masakazu was responsible for interpreting the characters. Such a combination is perfect.
Each episode of "Renzaburo Furuhata" is an independent piece, which is the biggest difference from other reasoning dramas. At the beginning of each episode, under the classic background music, Masakazu Tamura will break the fourth wall, slowly turn his head in front of a black background, and give the audience in front of the TV set a one-man show that seems to have nothing to do with the case, but these monologues are related to the main theme of the plot.
Masakazu Tamura, a criminal police officer from the Criminal Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is a criminal police officer with a somewhat eccentric personality, curly shoulder-length hair, always a black trench coat, never carrying a gun, always smiling and giggling and seemingly unorthodox. Love fruit sundae.
Masakazu Tamura injects extremely clear personal labels into this role: slow and methodical reasoning, habitual bending down when speaking, and poking his fingers in the forehead when thinking.
This small action has also become his signature posture.
Beside him, there is always a little assistant whose IQ is not online, Imaizumi.
It seems that Imaizumi is clumsy and is teased by Uncle Furuhata all day long, but once when he became a criminal suspect, it was still an iron case. Furuhata immediately helped him clear his suspicions.
Furuhata is indeed a genius in solving cases, with an extraordinary sense of detective smell, reasoning ability and memory, can solve cases only by logic in the slightest clue, and is very good at fooling, each time using all kinds of evidence to force the prisoners to confess themselves, the famous saying is: "Committing a crime in front of me is like doing magic in front of a magician."
At the beginning of each episode of "Furuhata Renzaburo", the audience will clearly see the murderer's murder process, which is equivalent to knowing the most critical mystery of the mystery - who killed it? How did he kill people?
As the truth is revealed at the end of each episode, the lights will once again focus on Renzaburō Furuhata, ending with a fixed line, "I am Renzaburō Furuhata."
But the focus of this drama is not who is the murderer and the modus operandi, but on "how Furuhata finds the prisoner" and "how Furuhata forces the prisoner to confess the truth", which shows how confident the show is in the reasoning process, but also relies heavily on the actor's performance charm.
Many of the routines in the play are actually really aimed at inserting advertisements and hanging people's appetites, but the wonderful lines and atmosphere creation coupled with Tamura Masakazu's superb performances have not made the audience feel any disgust. If you change to a domestic top fresh meat to play Furuhata, it may take less than three minutes except for the fans and the audience has all run.
The series's fire, coupled with Masaru Tamura and his strong personal charm, made the show's crime lineup a luxurious top match, gathering the most popular Japanese stars in the 80s and 90s. When I watched "Renzaburo Furuhata", it was equivalent to completing a top-stream scan of Japan's art circle in the 90s.
The series includes a number of male goddesses such as Akira Nakamori, Akashi family saury, Takanori Shinuchi, Nanami Suzuki, Takako Matsumoto, Takuya Kimura, Naoko Matsushima, Masaharu Fukuyama, Yosuke Eguchi, Ryuya Fujiwara, and other goddesses, as well as the top funny artists, athletes, and kabuki fighters in the Japanese showbiz industry.
Because one case per episode, there is only one perpetrator. So the big stars rushed to be criminals and made an appointment.
Looking back at the goddesses of that year, I can't help but sigh that that era was really too beautiful.
The goddesses have their own characteristics and their own beauty. And it is definitely not the top of the two million yen to act without acting skills and no attitude, but to be able to duel with Furuhata Renzaburo one-on-one, in less than an hour, perfectly showing the prisoner from the initial pretense of calm, indifference, to the later panic and inner struggle, and then to the relief of the end of the confession.
It is precisely because of the interpretation of these big names that in the eyes of the audience, the criminal is not a bad person with a face, but an ordinary person with flesh and blood who has made mistakes.
Many people are most impressed by the fact that in the second season, the criminal played by Nanami Suzuki poisoned the food and poisoned the cheating writer's husband.
She thought she had committed the perfect crime and was still in front of Uncle Furuhata.
As a result, on a passenger car, Uncle Furuhata reasoned through the narration of the heroine, chatted about the sky, and solved the case.
It looks bland and soothing, but it is actually fascinating and cool, and now the crime dramas that go around and around are actually mysterious and mysterious.
This series also produced a special edition SP.
Furuhata's opponent is SMAP, who is at his peak.
The ending of this episode is also classic, he arrests all the SMAP members who are killing people collectively for brotherhood.
Probably the only person who can have this card face is Masakazu Tamura.
And this drama also definitely has a group of criminals with the highest appearance in the history of Japanese dramas, even in the history of all crime dramas!
From 2008, "Renzaburo Furuhata" had a total of 43 episodes, and from the data point of view, the first season broadcast in 1994 had a rating of 14.2% in the Kanto region, which was not very eye-catching. However, in the second and third seasons of '96 and '97, the ratings reached 25.4% and 25.1%, ranking third and first in the TV series ratings of that year, respectively, and eventually becoming one of the most popular TV dramas in the history of Japanese television.
The Douban score of the series has always been above 9.0, and the key to success is recognized as Mitani's script and Tamura Kazumi injecting soul into the role of "Furuhata Renzaburo" with an elegant performance style.
Tamura's hoarse tone, black suit, and crime-solving gestures on his forehead in the play have been imitated by Japanese showbiz circles and audiences for many years.
Among them, the most exquisite imitation is the king of Japanese drama - Kimura Takuya.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="122" > the idol of the so-called idol, probably Masakazu Tamura</h1>
Takuya Kimura, who was popular in Asia at that time, was a die-hard fan of Masakazu Kimura, and was also slapped by Uncle Kimura, who played Furuhata Renzaburō, which was also the only time Thato Furuhata hit someone in the play. The Japanese drama King still has a row of noodles.
Later, he also performed the Concerto with his idol.
In addition to "Renzaburo Furuhata", Tamura also performed "Roman Holiday", "Beauty", "Jinping", "New York Fetish" and so on in the 90s, cooperating with countless popular young actresses, playing various mature uncles, and always exuding the charm of middle-aged men.
In "Beauty", Masato Tamura and the plastic surgery doctor played in the play are completely gentle gentleman's style, and they are extremely sue.
On the basis of acting achievements, it is realistic to say that Tamura may not have reached the top level, but he has captivated the entire Japanese showbiz circle, and goddesses such as Ryoko Hiromi, Riki Miyazawa, and Kyoko Fukada are his fans, and the focus is still on the enthusiasm of performing as an actor that impresses everyone.
A legend about Tamura is that he never shoots for his own reasons!
This non-NG characteristic also makes every actor who works with him feel oppressive and must do his best not to lose face.
Our country's female top stream does not want to play the same cry in situ this set does not work here in Tamura.
His presence actually inspired these actors to take their every scene seriously, and this decades-long attitude has made him an idol for many Japanese actors.
Another of Tamura's major features is that he has always kept his trademark, long hair tail, no matter what was popular in those days, he himself was popular.
Compared with today's domestic male traffic love beans love makeup, Tamura hates makeup very much, and the staff desperately convinces him that he is willing to make a little light makeup.
Compared with many domestic male celebrities who become uncles in middle age, Tamura will insist on exercising every day from 20 to death, and his diet is also very restrained.
Therefore, his figure has never changed, and he has maintained the dashing and thin that he needs to appear on camera.
But even the hero has a day of aging, and his last appearance in a TV series was in 2018 Fuji TV's special episode "Sleep Crazy Shiro".
When the 74-year-old Tamura saw his performance in the audition film, he said bitterly, "This is not OK", and decided to retire.
In his lifetime, he will serve the audience for one day, acting until he thinks he can't act, and his acting life will really come to an end.
And Masakazu Tamura, who retired, did disappear from the public eye. He had personally admitted to the media that he wanted to die quietly. There are also rumors from the outside world that he has already selected his tombstone. Even the final farewell was quietly postponed for more than a month.
Japanese media reported that his funeral and farewell ceremony would be held together.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="123" Goodbye >, Mr. Renzaburō Furuhata</h1>
When Tamura was alive, he confessed that "I have acted enough", in the past few years, his health has been poor, it is rumored that he suffered from coronary heart disease, had undergone coronary surgery on the heart, needed to recuperate, and the whole person was obviously emaciated.
He's not a war-loving entertainer, and even his agent broke off contact with him after he retired, because "I've finished doing it, so I want to die quietly." ”
Compared with domestic stars who stay on hot searches every day, the public knows very little about Tamura himself, only that he once said: "When I am free, I like to walk with my family and eat French food." ”
He also said that if I did not become an actor in the future, I would definitely take more walks with my family.
He has not had any scandals in his life, and it is said that he dealt with the property problem as early as 20 years ago, leaving all the property to his wife, and at the same time setting up a foundation for his daughter to manage.
It was as if everything in his life, including death, was in his calculations, like mr. gentleman police officer he had played.
Such a bold approach like the drama has not yet been unsurpassed in Asian reasoning dramas, Mitani has always been known for writing comedy books, this is no exception, but Furuhata is seemingly relaxed, laughing and giggling step by step to design traps, talking to the murderer, and finally let a group of criminals with superior intelligence unconsciously fall into the net, but also let the audience lament that these murderers met this man is too pitiful.
It is also interesting to say, compared to the current crime drama can not move to do big things, even Conan has begun to save the Olympic venues, the cases in this drama, but there is no sensational and shocking case, let alone the serial murderer or villain boss that appears now, what large-scale crime scene does not exist.
Some of these dramas are ordinary cases of ordinary people. The criminal may just be a thought, or it may be a whim, or it may be a mistake, and finally commit an irreparable crime.
Memorable is a noh performing artist.
After he killed people by mistake, he used an elevator to transfer the bodies. After being exposed by Furuhata, he was asked why he didn't hurry up after killing people. He said that what followed him was a big drama, including a scene in which he killed people and stayed to eat.
So, he wanted to risk staying and experiencing what it was like. This obsession of not being crazy and not living is actually the craftsman spirit that has achieved the Japanese showbiz.
It is also with this craftsman spirit that the strange performance of supporting character Masahiko Nishimura, the theme soundtrack that Motoma Yusuke can never get tired of listening to, and dozens of popular actors, idols, comedians, athletes, kabuki or stage drama masters played by the dead and prisoners, together with Tamura Masawa, created such a unique Japanese drama, that era probably died forever with Tamura's departure.
Tamura represents the so-called old-school artist, who feels that he is a performer, and the audience spends time watching the play, which is a guest, and must make the guests satisfied.
Every time Uncle Furuhata bowed slightly, it was as if he was seriously bowing to the audience.
His performance of Renzaburo Furuhata is always smiling, likes to tease his subordinates, and even tries to put stockings on his head like a child to smoke in front of prisoners, and rarely gets angry, and must be angry because of the suspect's bad behavior.
If the suspect were a lady, he would be filled with pity and could wait for the prisoner to change into a costume before holding her hand and taking her back to the police station. He lamented all women who committed crimes, but he never shielded or condoned them.
Rather, it is always gentle with the prisoners and firmly implements justice.
I remember earlier exposed the news that Japan's Fuji Television planned to remake this national treasure-level mystery drama, and Abe and Oda Chiejo became the final two candidates.
This remake later disappeared, I don't know if it is because the pressure on the candidate is too much, because all the roles can be replaced, but the audience has long tacitly accepted that Furuhata is Masakazu Tamura.
When this actor was alive, he once said his motto:
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but I just want to do my best to do what I want."
In Furuhata's eyes, "there is no real perfect sin in the world." But Masakazu Tamura completed one of the world's most perfect crimes, stealing the role of Furuhata Renzaburō forever, and even Furuhata could not arrest him.
Tamura is gone, but those wonderful moments on the screen will never fade in the common memories of generations.
There, the uncle is still alive, still eating fruit Sundai teasing his hands.
Life, old age, illness and death are inevitable, and the decline of that elegant crime drama is also a foregone conclusion.
When I watched each episode, I would be curious about how Uncle Furuhata would peel back the cocoon and deduce the results this time. Today's audiences just have to watch their idols.
The dedication and humility of the previous generation of artists, the outdated and decent courtesy and gentleness, so noble persistence, will not be there again in the future.
But obviously it was a farewell, and he always felt that the diligent he was just resting from work, and tomorrow he would ride the gilded bicycle, swing around, and casually catch a criminal and say that sentence: Above, Furuhata Renzaburō.
Well, goodbye gentleman cop.
Life is too complicated, and you don't know everything. Then this sad and happy world is entrusted to us to "feel well." It's just that from now on, we all have to get used to the days when there will be no more Furuhata Renzaburō.
