On the morning of November 6, 2021, the online dialogue series "Asia Lounge", one of the series of events of the 34th Tokyo International Film Festival, welcomed Thai independent film director Apichatpong Weerashaku and Japanese actor Hidetoshi Nishijima. Hidetoshi Nishijima, who is more than 50 years old, is still in the same state, and staged a "side face killing" on the spot, and the two even started a "hot chat" on the film plan of "Snowy Naked".
Hidetoshi Nishijima and Apichathan Welashagu met at a dinner party in 2004 when Apichatpong Welashagu was in Tokyo on the release of his own tropical dream.
At the dinner table, when Hidetoshi Nishijima, who is very fond of "Tropical Dreams", talked with Apichatpong Welashagu about the planning of future cooperative films, Apichatpong Weerashagu said that he had a very interesting film shooting plan that did not know the times and did not know what would happen, and the whole drama was filmed naked in the snowy plains. Maybe it's a science fiction genre, but he's always wanted to make the show.
After many years, I met again with Hidetoshi Nishijima "online" and talked about this matter, Apichatpon Welashagu lamented: "Shooting this drama is facing the problem of funding and photography, but if you can reconsider the ending, is it possible to realize this wish?" ”
Hidetoshi Nishijima smiled bitterly and said that it should be difficult to shoot a fully nude scene in the snow field, after all, he is 50 years old. However, if you really shoot, you feel like you will be in the lineup yourself.
The theme of the "asia lounge" at the 34th Tokyo International Film Festival is "crossing borders". During the 8 days of the film festival, a group of well-known film and television guests are arranged to talk every day and broadcast to the public online.
