Highest Couple [Entertainment]

Chapter 108

The four of them ate and walked all the way to Zojoji Temple.After lunch near Zojoji Temple, Ninomiya Kazuya told Shen Changmin that he was unwilling to move, and wanted to stay in the restaurant with the air conditioner playing games.So Jin Enhe had to go in with Sakurai Sho to visit.

She stood up and asked Shen Changmin one last time: "Are you really not going?"

All I got was a wave of hands without looking up.

This kid!It's getting more and more impolite.Jin Eun-hwa waved his fist at Shen Changmin silently in his heart, turned around and set off towards Zojoji Temple with Sakurai Sho.

Zojoji Temple is one of the ancestral temples of the Tokugawa family of the Edo shogunate, where Kazumiya and her husband Tokugawa Jiamao are buried.Recently, Jin Eunhe has been reading historical documents about the end of the Tokugawa period and the original work of "Atsuhime", silently trying to figure out the character Hegong.

To understand He Gong's life, one must first know the historical background at that time.Even before Jin Eunhe came to Japan, he probably knew from Japanese cartoons such as "Smart Ikkyu" that in Japan at that time, it was the shogun who held power, and the emperor was just a symbolic puppet.But in the era of the palace, it was the era when the western powers opened the door of Japan and the country was in jeopardy.The elders of the Tokugawa shogunate signed a treaty with the western powers to open the treaty ports, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the faction of the king and the barbarians in the Japanese court, and the princes were planning to collapse.

The emperor took advantage of the upsurge of the national downfall movement and gradually seized real power.The strength of the two sides ebbed and flowed, and they began to have a bargaining chip for confrontation.The imperial court represented by the emperor pursued the policy of "expelling foreigners", hoping to expel all foreigners and close the country.In order to do this, the support of the shogunate, which has held real power for many years, must be obtained.Hegong's elder brother, Emperor Xiaoming, advocated the "combination of public and military forces": "public family" refers to the emperor's court, and "samurai" refers to the shogunate and powerful vassals.And the shogunate is also worried that if the fall of the shogunate movement continues, the shogunate rule will end.Therefore, the shogunate married the princess as the general's main room on the condition of agreeing to implement the emperor's court's policy of "expelling the barbarians" to maintain the prestige of the shogunate among the people.

It was under such circumstances that He Gong married into the shogun's family, which is known as He Gong's marriage in history.

At that time, she was actually engaged to Prince Arisukawa Chihito ten years ago.But this princess, just because her elder brother said "for the unification and peace of Japan", resolutely abandoned her fiancé who was in love with each other, left the imperial palace where she grew up, and gave up the peaceful and happy life that was at her fingertips. The mission of cooperation is to marry a completely strange samurai.

She is really a respectable and lovely woman.Jin Eunhe stood in front of her grave and worshiped, and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the monument.

Although in "Du Ji", because the protagonist is He Gong's mother-in-law, the plot of He Gong has been deleted and weakened.But she will try her best to perform He Gong's demeanor.

"I won't let you lose to anyone, I promise." Jin Enhe silently promised He Gong in his heart.

Sakurai Sho stood aside, waiting for her to finish sweeping the grave.The two walked side by side on the stone path, heading for the next scenic spot.He asked, "Is the thing over in South Korea over?"

Jin Eunhe looked at him in surprise: "Even Mr. Xiang knows? The bad news really spread far enough."

"I have to read the news every day. It's hard to know." Sakurai Sho looked up at the sun coming out of the clouds, took the parasol in Jin Eunhe's hand and opened it.

"The anchor is so hardworking." Jin Eunhe said with a smile. After a while, she suddenly said softly but firmly: "I won't go back to Korea if I don't succeed in Japan." I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I never told anyone.In fact, she knows that she is a very proud person, and she usually tries to control herself so as not to appear offensive.For some reason, she felt that this side was not afraid of being seen by Sakurai Sho, so she said it outright.

Sakurai Sho smiled, as if he was not surprised that Jin Eunhe would say that, he just asked: "What is success?"

"At least one work that I am very satisfied with."

Is it because you are satisfied, not the ratings or the award?What an extraordinary level of confidence.Sakurai thought.

That's it for this topic.Jin Eunhe looked at the ancient classics on display in the showcase, and listened to Sho Sakurai telling the historical stories behind them and the ancient meanings written in Chinese characters on the inscriptions, and all kinds of allusions came at his fingertips.She suddenly thought, Sakurai Sho would not be seen by the people in front of the camera.As an idol, Sho Sakurai must be as funny and friendly as possible; as an anchor, Sho Sakurai is facing the public, and the commentary should also be easy to understand.Deep Sakurai Sho is not needed.

Jin Eunhe heard rumors from insiders that Sakurai Sho had a high-ranking official father and his mother came from a famous family.Although she hadn't heard Sho Sakurai mention his family, no one had confirmed whether the rumor was true.But one's background cannot be fooled, and those little habits that are difficult to attract attention will reveal everything, at least they will never fool Jin Eunhe, who observes meticulously.

"Why do you make an idol?" Jin Eunhe asked with confusion in his heart without knowing it.As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that it was inappropriate: "Sorry, I asked something that shouldn't be asked..." Before she could say the question, Sho Sakurai quickly interrupted: "Because I don't like to lose."

"What?" Jin Enhe didn't realize for a moment that he was answering himself.

"Because I don't like to lose." He turned around and repeated with a smile: "Enhe Jun should have watched my show, and you should know that I mentioned how I joined Johnny's and how I made my debut."

Jin Eunhe nodded.Of course she has watched it, and she will do her homework beforehand for every guest on her show.She was very impressed with Sakurai Sho's past.What was the rebellious period of junior high school because passers-by mistakenly thought it was Jr, but actually went to Johnny's to submit an application, and what absolutely refused to ask for leave from the school for the trip, she can fully imagine how youthful and sharp Sakurai Sho was ten years ago revealing.

"We debuted very suddenly, and I already had the idea of ​​quitting Johnny's before that. To be honest, if we Lan soon became a successful group like S/MAP's seniors, I would probably have quit the entertainment industry by now. The life we ​​had originally planned. For a few years we didn’t develop very well. Enhe Jun probably didn’t know it. When we celebrated our fifth anniversary, the scene was quite bleak. In 04, I hosted 24-hour TV and was criticized because the ratings were too low. Sho Sakurai recalled that period with a smile on his face.

"It can't be described as bleak. After all, it's also Johnny's combination. It has a single album, starred in TV series and movies, and has its own show. How can it be bleak?" Jin Enhe retorted jokingly.Then she said seriously: "If I have the opportunity to host 24-hour TV in the future, it will definitely be different."

Sakurai Sho smiled, he would not easily boast about things that have not been done yet.He avoided talking about it: "Eun and Jun also know that we are Johnny's combination, and there are very few people who are down like us. Have you heard of Johnny idol who works so little that it doesn't affect college attendance at all?" Maybe In the eyes of others, they are already considered good, but in his heart, such achievements are not enough, far from enough.He continued: "Fortunately, the office will give us personal resources. The five members of our group are all working hard, hoping to keep this group from disbanding. It is because of this that I did not leave."

"Because you don't want others to think that you failed in the entertainment industry, that's why you left." Jin Eunhe understood, she understood Sakurai Sho's mood at that time: "Xiang Jun, who gritted his teeth and persisted because he refused to admit defeat , very strong. But Xiang-kun actually answered this question, which shocked me."

"I should be the one who was scared." Sho Sakurai shrugged and asked bluntly: "But Enhe-kun, have you always asked others questions so straightforwardly?"

Enhe was stunned for a moment, then with an expression on his face as if he had thought of something, he said with a smile: "I can't ask everyone."

"Not everyone..." Sho Sakurai laughed. Does that mean that not everyone is worthy of her question?

"It's really Enhejun's style."

"Atsuhime" won't start filming until next year, and the live-action "Detective Conan" movie won't start until November. There are still several months left in the second half of 11, neither the firm nor Jin Eunhe will let this period of time be idle.Eri Fukatsu joined the crew of "Magic Moment" by the famous Japanese director Yuki Mitani and starred in three episodes.There just happened to be a cameo role in it that needed a young girl.The firm took advantage of the situation and stuffed Jin Enhe in. "Death/Death/Pen/Note" will be filmed as a side story with L as the main character, Jin Eun-he will continue to play Mi Hai-sa, but this time the role is still not too much.In this way, Jin Eunhe's schedule is still very empty, so Amano Hongichi continued to work in the office, trying to win another role for Jin Eunhe.

Hitoshi Nakamura learned from Masao Yamashita and Koichi Amano that Kim Eun-ho wanted more challenging roles. He remembered the role of the main character’s wife in a drama recently invested by Amuse, so he gave the information to Koichi Amano. He discussed with Jin Enhe whether to pick it up.Because the role of the wife is really not much, and the lead actor Motoki Masahiro was born in 65, which is a full 22 years behind Jin Eunhe.If it weren't for the fact that this role was too light to be worthy of Fukatsu Eri's fame and status, and she didn't have a schedule recently, he actually thought it was more suitable for Fukatsu Eri.

But Jin Eunhe didn't even think about it, and agreed: "I was only 15 years old when I first debuted, and I started to play adult women in their 20s. I don't think my experience and psychological maturity will lose to ordinary people. A 30-year-old woman. What’s more, the wife in the script is not yet 30 years old. As long as the makeup and styling are mature, there is no problem with Masahiro Motoki.”

That's it.Jin Eunhe won the role of the protagonist's wife in "The Undertaker" and officially put into the preparatory work before filming.

The production process of the movie "The Undertaker" is very tortuous.Masahiro Motoki read an autobiographical novel "The Diary of the Coffin Man" as early as 1996.At that time, he wanted to put this story on the big screen, and found the original author many times.However, due to various factors, the original author disagrees.He had no choice but to change the name and plot, and filmed under the original title.Then he spent years looking for investors interested in his script.Finally, this year, the big-name film company Shochiku Films took over the production.

Although the producer is Shochiku Films, the investor is not limited to Shochiku Films.In Japan, it is a mainstream way to set up a production committee and invest in the same film by multiple parties to diversify investment risks. The members of the production committee of "The Undertaker" include TBS and its subsidiaries TBS Broadcasting, Shochiku Films, Amuse, Shogakukan, Mainichi Broadcasting, Asahi Shimbun and many other companies.

Jin Eunhe is an actor hand-picked by the investor Amuse, and the largest investor TBS is very partial to her. In addition, the investors think that there are not enough conflicts in the script. The subject matter of "The Undertaker" is deep enough, if only the protagonist's inner struggle is filmed, the final effect of the film will definitely be very dull.They simply asked the screenwriter to add drama to Jin Eunhe, aggravating the conflict between the protagonist and his wife in the drama.In this way, the main conflict in the play changes from the protagonist's own psychological struggle to a dispute between the protagonist and his wife over whether to take up the job of "mortician".

A change in the main contradiction is bound to be accompanied by a change in the film's focus.As a result, the revised script, which could only be regarded as a cameo or barely a supporting role as the wife, suddenly became the second part of the movie.

"That is to say, I have changed from a side role to an actor who is second only to the protagonist? This is really pie in the sky." Jin Enhe got a new version of the script from Amano Hongichi, and he was a little bit relieved.But she quickly woke up from the surprise: the increase in the number of roles means that the requirements for acting skills are higher.The lead actor, Masahiro Motoki, has worked hard for this movie for many years, with deep intentions.The other party is much older than her, and has much more acting experience...

She took over this role in a hurry, not to be compared to others.

Jin Enhe's expression turned serious.

------

The film is called "The Undertaker", as the name suggests, it tells the story of the profession of the undertaker.They dress up the dead and send the dead on their way.Because it is a profession that is not well understood because it is often in contact with corpses.

There is no outstanding cellist Kobayashi Daigo, and the band he works for is disbanded.Unemployed, he had to take his wife back to his hometown in the countryside.Xiao Lin, who was eager to find a job to support his family, accidentally saw the recruitment advertisement of NK agency in the newspaper.So he became a mortician in a daze.He didn't tell his wife because he felt ashamed.But one day, his wife watched a videotape of him on the table and knew what he really was doing.His wife asked him to resign, and his friends looked at him differently. Even the family members of the deceased at work would point to him and say to the delinquent boy, "Do you want to atone for yourself like him?"Kobayashi, who is isolated and helpless, falls in love with his job.It was not until the acquainted grandma in the bathhouse passed away, and his wife and friends witnessed how he buried the grandma, that the misunderstanding of him was dispelled.At the end of the film, Kobayashi Dawu finds his father who abandoned him when he was a child, personally bury him for him, and finally forgives him.

"It's over." After reading the script for the first time, Jin Eunhe lay down on the sofa, silently covering his face with the script.

Super good script.Although the plot seems old-fashioned, the details are written very movingly.There are also profound and philosophical dialogues in the play that are particularly attractive to her.But such a fine play, Lord!horn!No!yes!she!ah!

I'm so jealous, I really want to act.The focus of the film is all on the male lead alone, even if the screenwriter adds so many roles to her, there is still no room for her to develop.Wanting to show his own characteristics, Jin Eunhe had a feeling of being at a loss.

She lay on the sofa and thought for a while, then tore off the script and turned back to the first page.

Read it a few more times.

On the day of the opening, Jin Eunhe finally met Masahiro Motoki himself, and instantly understood why she, a 20-year-old young girl, played the wife without arousing anyone's objection.Because Masahiro Motoki looks very young, let alone 42 years old, some people will believe that he is only 22 years old.

Before coming here, Jin Eunhe Zeng was mentally prepared to be hated by Motoki Masahiro.Few people will feel happy if he randomly parachutes actors into a script that he has spent countless efforts on and adds a lot of roles just because of the investor's request.But Jin Eunhe found himself a villain.Masahiro Motoki is very gentle and friendly, and his attitude towards Jin Eunhe can be described as a good teacher and helpful friend.Every time, he explained his understanding of the script to Jin Enhe very patiently.

Also, to be able to see a film full of human care like "The Undertaker" at a glance, such a person must have a rich heart.Jin Eun-hwa feels more and more admiration for Motoki Masahiro.I used to be full of envy for him being able to act in such a great film, but now it has also turned into admiration.

Instead of waiting for an excellent script to be delivered to him, it is better to learn from Masahiro Motoki and take the initiative to work for the script he likes.Jin Eunhe thought of "Wei Rong's Wife" that she had prepared for a long time, and thought this was also a way.

Jin Eunhe's shooting task in this drama is not heavy, but out of love for this drama, she will spend time on the set without her own role, watching how Masahiro Motoki performs.Most of the time, she will patiently ask the director and screenwriter for some incomprehensible parts of the script.For example, "It's embarrassing to eat" that appeared several times in the play.It was the president of Xiaolin's company who persuaded Xiaolin to stay and continue to be an embalmer with these words.Jin Eunhe always felt that if he didn't understand this sentence thoroughly, he couldn't understand the movie.

"Does this mean to enjoy the joy of life?" Jin Eunhe asked after screenwriter Kaoru Koyama.

"It can also be understood in this way... No matter how life is, eat well and live well. Since you want to live, you should live better." Koyama Kaorutang thought about it and said carefully.The themes of movies often cannot be clearly stated in a few simple sentences.The so-called can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, it refers to this kind of situation.

"I think it's saying that only by understanding death and not being afraid of death can we live a better life." Masahiro Motoki came over after filming and heard their conversation, and then interjected.

"So I can still understand it this way..." Jin Enhe nodded if he realized something, and wrote it down in his own script, planning to think about it when he read the script again.

Masahiro Motoki watched Koyama Kaorudo walk away, and asked Jin Eunhe with a smile: "Actually, I don't understand this, and it has no effect on Jinsang's performance." He has already noticed Jin Eunhe's behavior of chasing people to ask about the script It's been a long time, and I just happened to bump into it today, so I couldn't help but mention it.

Jin Eunhe looked at Motoki Masahiro, smiled and hugged the script into his arms, and sighed: "I know, I know that the role I play does not involve the theme of the movie. I don't understand the deep meaning of the script and I don't Affects the quality of the film. I'm just... used to having to understand every movie I see."

Motoki Masahiro was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's a good habit, please continue to stick to it."

The person who won the actress at the age of 17 and let Amuse do his best to cultivate is really unique.Masahiro Motoki began to look forward to their rivalry.

Their first rivalry scene was the scene where Kobayashi Dawu went to NK to apply for a job and told his wife that he had found a job.

The wife sat at the door of the house and waited for her husband to return. The husband went out to apply for a job and came back with expensive Yonezawa beef.When they walked into the house together, the wife excitedly inquired about her husband's job application, but the husband looked away and spoke vaguely.

The difficulty of this scene is all on Masahiro Motoki's side, and he is asked to act with a guilty conscience.As for Jin Eunhe, it is enough to act as a gentle and considerate lovely wife.In fact, there are only so many demands on Jin Eunhe in the whole play.

Masahiro Motoki is an old actor, so he easily passed this one.But in the last shot of this rivalry scene, Jin Eunhe's performance deviated a little from the script.

Masahiro Motoki tugged on his tie: "It's work related to weddings and funerals."

Jin Enhe was handling the beef in his hand, looked up in his direction and asked happily: "Is the wedding venue?"

Avoiding Jin Eunhe's gaze, he vaguely agreed, "Yes." He lifted his foot and walked upstairs.

Originally here, the wife should be too happy to notice anything unusual.But in front of Masahiro Motoki, Jin Eunhe added to himself with a smile on his face: "In the end, I still continued to play the cello."

When he went upstairs, the smile on her face disappeared, and she took a deep look in the direction where Motoki Masahiro left.

He is very abnormal today.

When she came back to her senses, she immediately realized that she had not acted according to the script.This time, she didn't do it on purpose. Now if she felt that the script was written incorrectly, she would take the initiative to communicate with the screenwriter and put forward her own ideas.She didn't realize that something was wrong before acting, it was her unconscious behavior after entering the play.

"Jin Sang, that last look...does it feel that something is wrong in the script?" Director Takita Yojiro asked very politely.

Jin Eunhe nodded: "Yes, the husband is obviously abnormal, can the wife really not see it? Although I don't..." She paused for a while when she said this.Suddenly a person came to mind.

If it was Zheng Yunhao, if it was him, would she notice it?

The answer is yes.Even when it was the engagement, Zheng Yunhao managed to put her off, dragging things off until the dust settled before confessing.She is not unaware, she can feel that something is wrong with Zheng Yunhao.It's just out of trust that I didn't get to the bottom of it.

Therefore, Jin Eunhe raised his head and continued with affirmative tone: "I have never really been someone else's wife, but I also know that if there is any abnormality in the person next to the pillow, whether it is a small emotional change or a sudden change in habit , women can notice it immediately. Unless that woman doesn't love that man, she doesn't care about him at all. "

"That's it..." The director pondered for a while, and finally agreed: "If Jinsang has a different understanding, then let's act according to Jinsang's understanding. But there are some scenes in the future, which need to be changed."

Jin Enhe immediately continued: "I understand, for example, the scene where Kobayashi Dawu returned home after embalming the deceased for the first time, and hugged his wife emotionally and wanted to relieve his fear of death through sex/love." She Thinking of the plot in the script, he said thoughtfully: "The wife should not be passive and surprised, but respond to her husband actively after the initial surprise. Use her gentle motherhood to appease him. Is that so? director?"

Takita Yojiro looked at her in surprise, he was about to see the young actor with a whole new set of eyes.He imagined it for a while, and felt that this better reflected the peaceful and gentle style of the play.

"Act as you want, this role is created by you." Yojiro Takita encouraged her.

In the actual shooting, Motoki Masahiro, who played opposite Jin Eunhe, could also feel that the emotional outburst of this scene was more powerful.There is a huge difference between responsive caresses and hugs and no response.The wife's inexplicable face of accepting her husband's sudden courtship is more comforting and calming than the wife gently stroking her husband's hair and back, and looking at him with love and pity.

The filming passed most of the time without any hassle.Jin Eunhe sat kneeling upright on the tatami, watching Masahiro Motoki doing the work of encoffining the old woman in the bathhouse.They were filming the scene where the wife understands her husband.

This scene Jin Eunhe didn't have any lines.Masahiro Motoki's line is only one sentence.But to complete an important turning point, people feel that just watching the encoffining process once can move their wives and friends.

Jin Eunhe just knelt and sat on the spot quietly, staring at Motoki Masahiro with a solemn expression, and wiped the body of the deceased earnestly.Watching him carefully knead the grandma's stiff fist, and gently put her hands together.Every movement is so graceful and gentle, as if performing a sacred ceremony.

This is indeed a ceremony.

Jin Eunhe looked seriously at the lifeless gray skin, which became beautiful and full of vitality little by little under the care of Motoki Masahiro.Under his hands, the corpse becomes less terrifying and daunting, as if it is just entering a sweet dream.Even though he knew it was played by a living person and not a real corpse, a warm power suddenly rose in his chest.

In the last journey of life, being able to be treated so tenderly, and being able to go on the road with dignity under the nostalgic eyes of relatives.That is also something to be gratified about.

At the end of this filming, Jin Eunhe bowed to everyone seriously and sincerely amidst the praise of the staff, "Even if Jinsang has no lines, he can express strong emotions very well."

After returning home, she couldn’t help but tell Zheng Yunhao what was in her heart: “As a Korean, it’s impossible for me to say that I have no grudges against Japan. Although I said that I want to integrate into this country and learn from this country. Culture. In fact, there will still be some prejudice in the mind.”

Zheng Yunhao was very strange: "Why did you suddenly bring up this topic?"

"Because the content of today's shooting touched me." Jin Enhe smiled: "Politics and historical grievances and grievances aside, every country's culture has merits. Just like what is reflected in "The Undertaker" Rigorous, dedicated, gentle and polite. And the unique Japanese understanding of life: despise life and death, tolerate life and death, respect life and death. These are all very good things.”

"So? What insight did you get?"

"The foothold of art is always human nature. I think I understand "Wei Rong's Wife" better, and interpret it from Japanese culture."

The author has something to say: The filming of "The Undertaker" almost tortured me to death.En He didn't have much room to play that role, and the movie couldn't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.Lying on the ground, I think it can only be written like this.
