Highest Couple [Entertainment]

Chapter 212

At the end of July, Kim Eun-hwa finished filming the film version of "The Reasoning Is After Dinner" and returned to Japan from Singapore.At this point, all her work is done.

In order to avoid outside disturbance, her new drama will be filmed in secret.The mobile phone is turned off and no contact with anyone is made, and all external negotiations are handled by the agent Hiroichi Amano.Except for the company's top management and a few related parties, no one knows where she went next.

Jin Enhe's upcoming new film is called "So Close, So Far", and the English name is "so close of far".The story takes place in a remote seaside town in Japan.Kasumi and Harumi grew up in a small town, and they are as close as half their bodies to each other.Harumi has been an extremely rational and unshakable child since she was a child. Her goal is very clear. She hopes to get out of the small town that is gradually dying with aging and live in the bustling Tokyo.Xia is just the opposite. She is full of emotion and carefree. Her biggest dream is to be with Qinghai forever.

Xia followed in Harumi's footsteps, and the two left their hometown for Tokyo together.

Harumi is gradually realizing her goal of living a decent urban life.She has a stable job.And the biggest career for most Japanese women-marrying a wealthy husband-in-law is naturally also within Harumi's plan.And all of this is a disaster for Xia.

Unlike Qinghai, Xia knew what she wanted very early on.When she left her hometown with Harumi full of joy, she didn't know what it meant to live in Tokyo.She is ignorant and has no special skills, even with Harumi's help, she still suffers a lot in the cruel city.What's even more frightening is that Qinghai started dating men.

Xia tries to keep Harumi with humble love and indulgence.Xia hated Qinghai, but couldn't do without Qinghai. The only way she could think of was to seduce all of Qinghai's boyfriends and destroy all of Qinghai's relationships.Qinghai has a clear understanding of Xia's thoughts, and always stays in place with a gentle attitude to tolerate all of Xia's stubbornness, but never shakes her original intention.They entangled in such a strange relationship for many years, until Qinghai told Xia that she was getting married and that she would move away from here, live with a certain man from now on, and leave Xia's world forever.

Just when Xia made a desperate attempt to destroy Harumi's marriage and was about to give up completely, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred.At the most dangerous moment, Xia and Qinghai, what emerged in their hearts was the figure of each other.They find each other in the crowd through the turbulent streets of Tokyo.Qinghai finally promised Xia to let go of everything in Tokyo and accompany her back to her hometown...

This kind of literary film that expresses the director's personal emotions, the story is usually simple and bloody.The effect of the shooting depends entirely on the level of the director, photography, editing, actors and other related creators.That's why Jin Eun-hwa finally decided to play Xia by himself, and invited Aoi Miyazaki to play Harumi.Even in the film, the man who is going to marry Harumi invites his wife Satoshi Satoshi to make a cameo appearance.The photographer invited Li Pingbin, who had collaborated with "Air Puppet", he had served as the photographer of "In the Mood for Love", and he was one of the top photographers in Asia... The entire team was formed with great care.

Both she and Miyazaki Aoi are strong women who have worked hard in the city for many years, and their living environment is far from that of a small town girl.In order to figure out the mentality of the protagonist, and to get into the state of the protagonist more deeply, Jin Enhe secretly chose the shooting location.The two took their assistants from the Shinkansen to the train and then rented a van, and then came to an isolated seaside town.They will put aside their identities and past lives here, and develop a feeling for the role.The assistants stayed to ensure their safety, but lived far away on the other side of the town and tried not to disturb them unless necessary.

When all the assistants left and only Jin Enhe and Miyazaki Aoi were left, the room fell silent for a moment.The four eyes met, and each of them felt the strange and polite atmosphere in the air.

Jin Eunhe took the lead in breaking this embarrassment.She looked up at the 40-year-old house, and asked Miyazaki Aoi with a smile, "I'm going to live here for a few months. So where should we start cleaning up?"

Miyazaki Aoi opened her suitcase: "First count the items, and then make a list of daily necessities that need to be purchased. Let's go to the shops in the town to buy. Especially the things in the kitchen, I think we didn't bring them? "

"Chef? Kitchen? Yes, we have to cook by ourselves." Jin Eunhe asked guiltily, "Miyazaki-san, um, have you watched the variety show "Please! Uncle" that I hosted before?"

"I seem to have watched a few episodes. But the show is so exaggerated, isn't it the effect of a variety show..." Miyazaki Aoi suddenly had a bad feeling while talking.

"Ah...of course there are variety show effects." Jin Eunhe pointed fingers shyly, "But generally speaking, it's still realistic. So I may have to trouble Miyazaki-san to cook in the future..."

"But don't worry! I'm good at knives, and I can help with cooking preparations! I can also wash dishes!" Jin Enhe promised, "Actually, I'm really good at making sashimi, and I can also make rice balls!"

After Jin Enhe played tricks like this, the initial restraint dissipated a lot.Miyazaki Aoi couldn't help laughing, and jokingly used Jin Eunhe's title in the variety show: "Okay, please give me more advice from now on, Eun-chan~"

"Hmm! Then can I call you Aoi?" Jin Enhe took advantage of the situation to get closer.

"of course can."

After a brief tidying up, the two made a shopping list, locked the yard door, and walked to the shop in the middle of the town.This is a small town in central Japan.It is remote, with no major ports nearby and no factories in town.Young people have left here to go out to work one after another, and those who stay in the town are elderly people.

So even though the two Japanese first-line actresses were walking on the road, no one recognized them.It is because there have been no young people in the town for a long time, and it is a new face, which has been warmly greeted by the local old people.Jin Eunhe explained the past by "going on vacation with friends".In order to make a good movie, she also took Miyazaki around, chatting with the old people, understanding the love and hatred of this town, and the changes of time.

Soon everyone in the town knew that a few young people had come, and it was very lively for a few days.After a while, everyone got used to the young people popping up suddenly in the town, and gradually returned to calm,

And Jin Eunhe and Miyazaki Aoi gradually got acquainted with each other.

On a midsummer night, it is inevitable that the house will be a little stuffy.There is no air conditioning here, and at night, Jin Enhe usually enjoys the coolness in the yard.

After reading the script again, Aoi Miyazaki still feels sad in her heart.She looked up out of the window, and as usual, she saw Jin Eunhe lying on the couch quietly looking up at the starry sky.

She closed the script, got up and poured a glass of water for Jin Eunhe, walked to the yard and handed it to her: "I never thought that the story you wrote would be like this."

Jin Eunhe took the water glass and was about to take a sip when he heard this and smiled: "What kind of story does Aoi think I should write?"

Miyazaki Aoi looked at her, and didn't answer directly, but said something else: "Do you know why I suddenly went to visit your crew with Sakurai-san that day, and agreed to take your role?"

Jin Enhe stroked the water glass, thoughtfully: "I'm not sure, I just feel that you seemed to be in a low mood that day. I asked Xiang, but Xiang said that when you want to tell me, you will definitely tell me."

Miyazaki Aoi said quickly: "I was thinking about divorce."

Jin Eunhe stopped his hand and looked back at Miyazaki Aoi.

"Actually, I have always envied you." Miyazaki Aoi stared down at the cup in her hand intently, as if studying the texture on the cup. "People often compare us and say that we are very similar. Whether it is acting, or On the emotional side."

"I became famous at an early age, and at the age of 22, I ignored everyone's dislikes and married that person. At that time, I thought that even if marriage would affect my popularity, as long as I had the same acting skills as anyone else, as long as I loved my heart with all my heart Husband. Of course I can have career and love at the same time." Miyazaki Aoi laughed at herself, "Now that I think about it, I'm really naive and self-righteous."

Jin Eunhe listened quietly without interruption.

"But you are different from me who made everything worse." Miyazaki Aoi finally raised her head and stared at her, "Even if I have nothing to do with you, I still occasionally hear stories about you and Yunho-san .Although busy schedules often keep you apart, you still trust each other and shine in your respective fields. So I want to be close to you, and I want to draw strength from you that I don't have."

"I thought that you can balance love and career with ease because you are confident in your relationship and have a strong and firm heart. But I didn't expect that I would see such a story full of loneliness from beginning to end." Aoi Miyazaki Looking at her, his eyes were confused and confused.

"Because everyone is a lonely individual~" Jin En and Hang Mou thought for a while, and finally gave her such an answer.

"Even if you and Yunho-san are so in love, do you feel that you are alone?" Miyazaki Aoi asked.

Jin Eunhe admitted: "Yes."

This answer was beyond Miyazaki Aoi's expectations. She couldn't believe it, and murmured, "Why? Since you are in love, you should know and trust each other very well, right?"

Jin Eunhe smiled, and did not directly answer the question: "It's been a long time since you got the script. Have you ever thought about why this story is called "So Close, So Far"? Why do I use the love of two women? To tell the story? Can't one man and one woman? Can't two men?"

"Because you want to say that even if Xia and Qinghai grew up together and are close to each other like a half-length existence, they seem so close and so close, but they are so far away, and they are destined to be separated one day." Gong Saki Aoi asked softly, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Jin Eunhe stood up, walked to Miyazaki Aoi and sat down, "Xia always thought that it was the people and desires/desires in the city of Tokyo that made her go further and further away from Harumi, so she stubbornly wanted to take Harumi away." Qinghai went back to her hometown. Back to the place where they started. She thought that when all the people and things in the outside world were away from them, and only each other was left in the world, they could go back to the past."

"But it's impossible." Aoi Miyazaki closed her eyes, and continued, "It's not that the world has changed Harumi, but that what Harumi wanted was different from Kasumi from the very beginning. When they were still close to each other when they were young , already doomed the ending of separation in the future."

"The essence of a person is a lonely individual. Parents, brothers, children, lovers, friends, these are of course close people in everyone's life. We love them, understand and support each other, and wait for each other. But we must still clearly understand that people You are always a lonely individual with others." Jin Eunhe repeated this proposition again, "The value of self is realized by oneself, and one's own life is responsible for one's own life. Never entrust your life to another person. Cherish it when you have fate Time together. If one day the fate is over, then say goodbye, let go completely, and then each go their own way. This truth, Harumi understood from the beginning, but Xia did not understand, so Xia will insist."

Up to here, although Jin Eunhe didn't directly answer the question she asked.But Aoi Miyazaki already knew the answer.She never expected that the secret of the model couple praised by everyone in the circle for years of long-distance running was actually like this.

Some of her wanted to cry, because of her lost love; some wanted to laugh, because of her clumsiness in feelings.

A hand reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Now do you understand why this is the love of two women?" Jin Eunhe asked, staring at Miyazaki Aoi.

Miyazaki Aoi looked back at her and said involuntarily, "Because you are a woman, women understand women."

The street lamps in the yard are covered with mosquito repellent lampshades, which they bought together and hung up together.The soft light passed through the flying mosquitoes and projected into Jin Eunhe's eyes. As the light flickered, Aoi Miyazaki saw her own eyes.

too close.

She came back to herself suddenly.The two turned their heads at the same time, looked forward, and began to drink water.

The yard was quiet, only the chirping of summer night insects could be heard.

After a while, Miyazaki Aoi asked: "Actually, it looks like I should play Kasumi and you play Harumi. You should be the one who taught me, right?"

"No. It is precisely because our usual choices are opposite to the roles we play, that we can perform better. You will understand when the filming starts." Jin Enhe smiled, put down his cup and stood up, ready to go back to rest.

Looking at her back, Miyazaki Aoi couldn't help asking: "Does Yunho-san know that you think so?"

Jin Eunhe stopped in his tracks and tilted his head slightly: "After this movie, he will know."

The next morning, Jin Eunhe was awakened by the aroma of breakfast.She tidied up the room and pushed open the old Japanese-style sliding door: "Morning ~ Aoi, did you make breakfast?"

Miyazaki Aoi was setting the tableware in the restaurant, and when she saw her get up, there was an innocent smile on her face: "Morning, the weather is fine today, let's go to the beach after eating~"

They went to the beach.

Miyazaki Aoi brought a camera to take pictures of the scenery along the way.Jin Eunhe is in a good mood. She hasn't lived such a free life without caring about any eyes for many years.As soon as she reached the beach, she kicked off her shoes and ran to the sea.

The morning sun was not strong, and Jin Eunhe ran barefoot along the seashore, and the red skirt swayed between the white waves and the golden sand.Behind her, the brilliant rays of the sun reflected on the blue sea.

Aoi Miyazaki took a picture of this breathtakingly beautiful scene: "I seem to understand why you named the two protagonists Kasumi and Harumi."

Jin Eunhe turned his head when he heard her voice.The sea breeze blows Aoi Miyazaki's long hair. She looks up at the sea and takes pictures of herself with the camera with a gentle smile.

Jin Eunhe was suddenly in a trance for a moment. She wondered if Xia and Qinghai had been like this when they returned to their hometown.If she were Xia, how would she feel now?

Miyazaki Aoi looked at Jin Eunhe who suddenly ran towards her in the camera lens, and her heart suddenly jumped.She slowly lowered the camera, and her lips were touched gently.

Jin Eunhe looked at her with happiness written in his eyes: "Is Xia like this?"

"Yes."

Easy days are very short.Not long after, Jin Eunhe was suddenly infected with bacteria because he touched a skin wound while handling seafood. He developed a high fever that night and was rushed to a hospital in a nearby city.

Half-dream and half-awake, Jin Eunhe could feel the movement and quarrels of people around her, and also felt a pair of gentle hands brushing her forehead and cheeks.She didn't wake up from her lethargy until a few bottles of intravenous drip went down.As soon as she opened her eyes, Miyazaki Aoi was lying on her bedside and holding her hand tightly.

Jin Enhe watched the scene fixedly.The high fever made her more vulnerable and sensitive, and her thinking became more chaotic. She gradually blurred the boundary between reality and fantasy.The scenes in the script, and the scenes that were not described in the script, had never flashed so vividly in her mind like this moment.

She suddenly realized that she was favored by the God of Inspiration.

Amano Hiroichi rushed to her ward with the doctor after learning that she woke up.The assistant notified her manager immediately after finding out that she was ill, and Amano Hiroichi came from Tokyo overnight.He already knew that Jin Eunhe was infected with bacteria, and if he didn't control it well, there would be very serious consequences.Therefore, the first thing I said when I saw Jin Eunhe was: "I have already contacted the hospital for you, and I will return to Tokyo for treatment immediately tomorrow morning!"

"No!" Jin Enhe prevented Amano Hongyi from contacting the hospital for transfer, and called the nurse to pull out the needle for herself, and went through the discharge procedures for her.

Her face was pale, her cheeks were flushed sickly, but her eyes exuded a strange brilliance, she turned to Miyazaki Aoi and said, "I can't heal, I need to stay in this state. Inform the producer, I want to start the film early!"

---

It is difficult for anyone to obstruct Jin Eunhe's will, not to mention that she is the legal representative of the film production company.After she promised to be hospitalized for observation to pass the high-risk period, Amano Hongichi also took a step back and promised to help her keep silent and not reveal her illness to her parents and Zheng Yunhao.

Although Jin Eunhe set a two-month experience period for herself, she knew very well that this movie was destined to follow inspiration, and it was difficult to clearly plan the time for shooting.Therefore, the situation was explained in advance when recruiting people, and the shooting was likely to be extended.And started to pay at the beginning of August, let them do the preparatory work before starting up.So after she gave the order, within three days, the staff of the crew arrived one after another and went to the seaside town to set up the set.

Photographer Li Pingbin was the last to arrive.He came here from Taiwan, and was taken to the hospital where Jin Enhe was located as soon as he got off the plane.The assistant knocked on the door twice but did not hear anything, and waited five seconds to explain to Li Pingbin: "Miss Jin has a slight otitis media recently due to an infection, and sometimes she doesn't notice the knock on the door, you can go in directly gone."

Li Pingbin nodded with a smile.After the assistant left, he gently opened the door of the ward and saw Jin Eunhe sitting on the bed.The afternoon sun shines on her through the gaps in the blinds. She lowers her head and concentrates on drawing something.There is also a stack of sketches scattered on the bed, revealing a fragile and quiet beauty.

The photographer's instinct made him immediately pick up the camera to take pictures of this scene, and then walked over, picked up the sketches scattered on the bed, and found that it was the storyboard script of the movie.

Li Pingbin carefully turned over one by one.For this kind of literary film where the director expresses his own feelings, the beauty of the lens is the most important thing. It is necessary to find a top photographer who fits the style and can understand the director's intention.But how hard to find a top photographer in the industry.When Jin Eunhe begged him at first, he really didn't want to take it.He has a schedule, but with his reputation in the industry, there are countless internationally renowned directors who can cooperate.When he is in his position, he has to be stingy. There is no need to shoot a scene with a new director who has transformed from an actor. It is just because of the introduction of Hirokazu Kore-eda and the friendship formed during the filming of "Air Doll". Just refuse.

Then he was hooked.From time to time, I would receive a storyboard script from Jin Enhe, and Jin Enhe would talk about what camera language to use for this movie every once in a while.A well-known female star in Asia, young, beautiful, hard-working and talented, she even came to express her sincerity during her busy schedule, and greeted him with a smile no matter how indifferent what he said... It was difficult for Li Pingbin to reject him forcefully.

After all, the entertainment circle is a place that relies on connections, and the top film circle in East Asia is even smaller than the public imagines. After all, people of the same level are only willing to associate with people of the same level, and cross-border cooperation is far more important than the public can see. many.Except for some eccentric and aloof ones, most of them maintain a peaceful and friendly relationship and will not offend others bluntly.Under Jin Eunhe's repeated promotion, Li Pingbin felt that the script had merits, and gradually developed a sense of the screen for this play, and he knew that although Jin Eunhe was still a newcomer, she brought her own Japanese, Korean and even Taiwan's distribution channels, and direct access to European art theaters through Kim Ki-duk's relationship, the distribution barriers that many filmmakers worry about are the easiest to handle with her.After Jin Eunhe sent the script to the Cannes Film Festival for review, he initially decided to participate in next year's competition.Li Pingbin finally let go.

So he got the complete script of the movie very early, and he knew at a glance that these scattered manuscripts were drawn by Jin Enhe: "It seems that the illness has given you more inspiration. Are these all to be added to the shooting plan?" ?”

Jin Enhe looked up in surprise, put down the drawing, stood up and shook hands: "Mr. Ping Bin, you are finally here." She looked down at the scattered drawings, shyly gathered them together, and said apologetically, "Maybe we need to shoot more Too many spare lenses, sorry for the trouble."

"It doesn't matter. I can endure the torment of that guy Sunglasses King, and your level is nothing." Li Pingbin laughed.He raised the drawing in his hand and asked, "So have you figured out where to start the first scene?"

"There are too many ideas." Jin Enhe handed a thick stack of footage to Li Pingbin, "Take a look, is there any scene that you particularly feel?"

Li Pingbin took it, but did not turn it over, but handed his camera to Jin Enhe: "Although this scene is not in your script, do you want to try it?"

Jin Eunhe looked at the ward with a yellow halo in the camera, and a picture began to flash in his mind: "Then let's start with the hospital."

On the way to buy dinner for Jin Enhe, Miyazaki Aoi received a call from her, informing her that she would start the machine at night and add a scene in the ward.She hastily put the porridge she bought into an insulated box and rushed back to the hospital.All kinds of shooting equipment have been arranged in the ward, waiting for the two protagonists.

"Where's Enhe?" Miyazaki Aoi didn't see her in the ward and asked the field manager.

"I'm here." Jin Eunhe's voice came from behind.Miyazaki Aoi turned around and was slightly stunned when she saw her in sailor suit.

Jin Eunhe smiled at Miyazaki Aoi, she was pale and sickly, and she had a strange sense of fragile beauty: "You do the styling first, and I will tell you about the play later."

Aoi Miyazaki had a lot of questions to ask, but after hearing her soft voice, she couldn't help handing her the thermos box: "Eat something before working." Then she left with the field manager.

Jin Eun-ho only took two bites before putting it down and going back to work.Li Pingbin had already adjusted the camera, and took a test shot for Jin Enhe to find the angle.He stared at the camera for a while, and suddenly asked: "You are much thinner than in "Air Puppet"."

"Yes. "Air Doll" plays an inflatable doll, the body and facial lines should be plump, and the skin should have a round and tight rubbery feel. The characters in this play need to be clearer in order to fit the character of the character and the beauty of the camera Facial bones, so I have been dieting and exercising for a while." After Jin Eunhe explained, he immediately realized, "Is the lines too obvious and not suitable for a girl's age?"

"Hmm..." Li Pingbin kept looking at the characters in the camera, "It doesn't matter, when I was shooting girlhood, I would use halos to blur the facial lines of the characters."

Jin Eunhe nodded and told the lighting engineer: "Add a light outside the window to create the feeling of sunlight shining into the room." Then he turned to communicate with Li Pingbin: "The memory part can be shot with the library lens to create Brings out the nostalgia of old movies. What do you think?"

Li Pingbin nodded in agreement.Jin Eunhe took the sketch and drew a few simple strokes to indicate: "Then when I go to the hospital, I will shoot it with my hand to create a sense of documentary..."

When Miyazaki Aoi was ready to return to the ward, Jin Eunhe had already arranged all the jobs.

"Are we going to have a free play without a script?" Aoi Miyazaki asked in surprise after listening to Jin Eunhe talk about the scene she wanted.

"Yes." Jin Eunhe explained, "As I told you at the beginning, the main plot of this drama has a script, but there are many ordinary scenes of getting along with each other, which don't need special events to express. I would like to shoot more and try different scenes, and finally choose the most emotional and flashy part of the actor to put in the movie. This part will require the actor's improvisation."

Jin Eunhe knows that Japanese film shooting is very strict. Everyone strictly implements the script, and rarely requires actors to play freely.So she didn't explain too much, but chose to demonstrate it herself: "Look, it's actually like this."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the window with the support on which the bottle was hung, stood facing the window, and stared quietly out of the window.The scene immediately quieted down professionally and quietly.

A few seconds later, Jin Enhe suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Aoi Miyazaki at the door, with a faint joy on his face.She didn't say a word, but the combination of her swaying eyes, eyes that were watery due to fever, and the almost invisible tremor of the whole face could make people in front of the camera feel the beauty of her restrained performance. The deep feelings contained in it are like an iceberg floating on the sea. You only need to see the tip of the iceberg on the sea to experience the majesty and depth hidden under the calm sea.

Whoever Ren doesn't need to know the previous relationship, and doesn't need her to speak up, knows clearly that what she sees is the person she cherishes.And she quietly looked out the window, just to wait for her lover's arrival.

Li Pingbin looked at the camera silently.She was born with a story-filled face that is eager to talk, a strong empathy ability, and the ability to control extremely subtle facial and body language.What's even more frightening is the wonderful sense of proportion in the performance. If it is too much, it will make people feel overdone, and if it is too small, it will be too flat.But she is always just right, stuck between the square inches of still water and deep flow.He thought, some people are indeed rewarded by God for food.

"That's it." Jin Eunhe's voice broke the silence of the scene, and she nodded encouragingly at Aoi Miyazaki, "Actually, it's not difficult, you just need to treat yourself as Harumi, and you will naturally react like Harumi. We came here in advance to experience the characters, isn't it just to transform ourselves into Kasumi and Harumi?"

Aoi Miyazaki smiled helplessly and shook her head: "It's easy for you, right? But." She fixed her gaze on Jin Enhe, her arrogance and self-confidence ignited, and the depression since the divorce was swept away. Kong, "I will not lose to you."

The author has something to say: Well, as his wife Mu Satoshi said, it would be very dangerous for Enhe to do so...

I didn't intend to write too detailed the shooting process, but I still feel that I need to make up.This mainly explains how Xia Enhe set up a team for himself.The success of a film, in fact, the proportion of actors is not as large as the audience thinks. Director, photography, editing, art, lighting, music, etc., all the creators work together, and finally a good work is presented to the audience. Everyone.So I think I will use the photographer as a representative to talk about Xia Enhe's efforts behind the scenes.In order to make this film well, she hired all the very powerful behind-the-scenes workers in the industry.It will be a work that gathers the efforts of all parties.
