"Tokyo Love Story", a screen classic, is almost a generation's love enlightenment film.
How many people whenever they hear Oda Kazumasa's "Sudden Love" and think of Li Xiang's bright smiling face, a voice or affectionate or playful "maruko", they can't help but feel sad and lonely!
If you think of Rimi, will you hate it because she stole Li Xiang's favorite cure, and hate it?
Sekiguchi Rimi's actor, Yuki Mori, is "hating married women" in the play, and eventually enters the palace of marriage, but in reality, she has never been married.
Recently, Arimori left the firm she has been working for since her debut and began to develop independently.
In an interview with Japanese media, she told her debut experience, the interesting things about filming "Tokyo Love Story", the reasons for not getting married, and her views on the new version of "DongAi" in 2020.
Arimori set the interview at an Italian restaurant in Tokyo.
She and the restaurant's owner, Ito, have been friends for more than 30 years.
Sato used to work as a chef at a restaurant, and every time he changed jobs, Yuki would follow him just to eat the pasta he made.
Thirteen years ago, Ito opened her own shop, and she became a regular customer.
It can be said that the pasta made by Sato almost accompanied her acting career, witnessing her joy and sorrow from the road of art.
Yumori began studying ballet at the age of 5 and his initial dream was to become a ballet dancer.
But by the third grade of junior high school, her classmates were thinking about the future, and she also began to want to touch a different world.
It happened that a well-known fashion magazine "mc Sister" was looking for models, and she applied for a job, but the reason was: she wanted to meet the editor of her favorite magazine!
Shortly after debuting as a model, Arimori entered the Space Craft office.
However, the president of the firm said, "Yukimori is not tall and his figure is not suitable for models, so let's go in the direction of an actor!" ”
When she was in high school, she basically spent auditions and tv series.
In 1986, at the age of 18, she starred as the heroine in "Movie World" directed by Yoji Yamada, which caused a sensation.
She remembers that when she auditioned, everyone on the production side was there, and someone questioned: "Is this kid okay?" Nothing, just youth! ”
Fortunately, Director Yamada taught her hand in hand, allowing her to enter the role and also exercise her acting skills.
For this role, she won awards such as the 29th Blue Ribbon Newcomer Award, which established her position in the show business circle.
Five years later, the 23-year-old Arimori starred in "Tokyo Love Story", playing Rimi Sekiguchi, the second female who snatched love with yokozuna.
According to herself, she did not like a woman with the personality of Rimi, who oscillated and indecisive between Nagao and Mikami, which was completely different from her own decisive personality.
However, she still portrayed the character of Rimi so well that the people who wanted Rika and Kenji to be together poured out their anger on her.
Someone wrote to her saying "You go and die", someone sent her scissors, and even when she was walking on the road, someone threw her with a stone!
Even now, when TV stations replay "Tokyo Love Story", some people still comment on the Internet that "Yuki is really the most annoying" and "Sekiguchi Rimi is so disgusting!" ”
Thinking of this, Yumori couldn't help but laugh and said: "'Tokyo Love Story' is a work that I am very grateful for and cherished, the role of Rimi Sekiguchi is very interesting, worth playing, 29 years have passed, recalling the beginning, there is a feeling of traveling through time and space, it is really a great TV series!" ”
Recently, the TV series "SUITS", in which Yuji Oda and Nanami Suzuki collaborated again, is currently airing.
A friend of Yumori's drama joked: "When I watched the TV series, I was thinking that Rimi must have made a meal and waited for Oda to come home!" ”
Time flies, but the image of the virtuous wife and mother of "Sekiguchi Rimi" is deeply rooted in the audience's mind.
Speaking of the other three protagonists at the time, Yumori commented, "Suzuki Honami has an intellectual beauty. Oda Yuji is very serious and often pulls me to my lines during breaks. Yosuke Eguchi is cute and always enlivens the atmosphere. ”
Yumori also said that in fact, the ending of "Tokyo Love Story" that we saw was different from the script they originally got.
The original script was set up in a script that not only married But also had a child, and the script was changed temporarily during filming.
She guessed the director's intentions: first, she was still preparing to make a sequel; second, she felt that when Wanji met Li Xiang by chance, if Wanji left the child aside to reminisce with his ex-girlfriend, it would be a bit strange.
In the play, Rimi chooses to complete the rule.
When asked who she would choose if she were to get married without considering the role, from her own point of view, her answer was unexpected.
"Mikami is able to accept Rimi and Kenji getting married, but if he marries Mikami, Hemiji may always think of Rimi, so marrying Kenji should be a more satisfactory ending."
In reality, Yuji Oda, Nanami Suzuki, and Yosuke Eguchi are all married, but Only Arimori is still unmarried and childless.
Her father came from a clergy family, and because of the failure to start a business in Yokohama, he left his wife and daughter to return to his hometown to inherit the shrine.
Although her parents are not divorced, but they have been separated for a long time, she has not experienced the warmth of a complete family.
Just like this, she said that she is actually very inferior, "maybe it is not suitable for marriage at all", afraid of forming a family, and has no intention of getting married, and it is good to experience home in the role!
However, she said: "I am very good at cooking, Japanese food, Chinese food, Western food, there are many specialties, if you get married, you must be a qualified wife." 」 ”
This year, "Tokyo Love Story" was remade and starred Shizukawa Ishibashi, Kentaro Ito, Sho Kiyohara, Anduna Ishii and other newcomers.
Yousen said that she would occasionally look at it, but after all, the times were different and the feeling was different.
She said that in the old version, Nagao, Mikami and Rimi from a small place are very simple, and several of the protagonists of the new version are more urban, and the overall work is more suitable for today's young people.
In the past, they could only use public telephones, pagers, etc. to contact, or go home to listen to phone recordings, so there would be a lot of passing by, which made people regret and regret.
Now, even if you can't meet, you can contact by email, mobile phone, SNS and other ways, less sad and lost.
Yumori concludes: "This is no longer the original Tokyo Love Story. ”
Finally, Yumori said that she will continue to play the role of some elderly women in the show business circle, and also hopes to help people who want to learn ballet.
Perhaps, for Yuki, "Tokyo Love Story" is already a love that is full of anger and intestines, so the love in reality will no longer make her nostalgic!
