丨This article first appeared in the Pippi movie
in a few days, June 19th, for most people, this is just an ordinary day, but for a certain group, it is a memorable one Moment, because on this day 15 years ago, a movie turned out, igniting the racing dream in the hearts of countless fans. The movie
is "Initial D".
"Initial D" is the screen Virgo of the heavenly king Jay Chou. At that time, many audiences actually rushed into the theater where Jay Chou walked into it, but it ended. In addition to Jay Chou, many people also remember the reputation of racing cars. Hehe a title-"Autumn Famous Mountain Bike God".
From then on, when it comes to Chinese racing movies, almost everyone's mind is "Initial D".
For the sequel of the film, many viewers are also looking forward to it.
But as early as two years ago at the Tokyo Film Festival, "Initial D" screenwriter Zhuang Wenqiang poured cold water on all racing fans, frankly saying "difficulty is not small", and the specific reasons cannot escape the money-production Fang Huaya I want to use special effects to avoid the "real car damage" in the first movie and increase the profitability of the movie by saving money, but the director Liu Weiqiang still wants to shoot the real car.
Liu Weiqiang's artistic pursuit at the price of "burning money", of course, could not get Media Asia, which has the first commercial interest, to nod, so the two sides fell into a deadlock.
Therefore, cost is a major reason for the sequel to be blocked.
At the same time, 15 years have passed. The leading actors of the year are now in different situations. Whether they can gather together to shoot the sequel "Initial D2" is a big question mark.
Today, let Pidge take you to see the current status of the actors in "Initial D".
1. Jay Chou: Movies have long been foreign objects, milk tea and variety shows are the new favorites.
"Initial D" is Jay Chou’s film debut, and his acting skills have been affirmed by the Academy Awards, but no one expected the debut of "Film Week" That is the peak, the later "Full of Golden Armor" and "Secrets That Cannot Be Said" could not reproduce the glory of "Initial D".
Gradually, Jay Chou’s enthusiasm for movies has gradually been consumed. Since 2013, Jay has not worked hard in the film. At most, he has played a guest appearance and has not caused any splashes.
And if you ask what Jay Chou is doing today, it's probably on the way to a variety show with milk tea.
How much does Jay Chou love to drink milk tea? That is, if the private itinerary is photographed by the media, most of the hands are holding milk tea. Even the gift that Nicholas Tse brought to Jay Chou at the press conference of "New Chinese Songs" was milk tea.
When netizens saw him gain weight and persuaded him to drink less milk tea, he also responded: "Milk tea, I still drink it." The reason.
However, Jay Chou is not completely lacking in ambition. No, in March this year, he just announced that he planned his own variety show "Travel."
Although the iron fan said "I would not have watched Jay Chou if it weren't for Jay Chou" after the variety show went live, it is indeed more in line with Jay Chou's current comfortable state not to play movies and play variety shows.
2. Suzuki Apricot: The figure is fat, the face is out of shape
The Japanese actress Suzuki Apricot who plays Natsuki in "Initial D" was once the white moonlight in the minds of many fans.
Long before the movie was released, Suzuki was a popular star in Japan.
, who was still a girl at the time, also starred in many movies. The most famous is "Flower and Alice" starring with Yu Aoi, which has been loved by many netizens.
《HeadWhen "Text D" was broadcast, Suzuki was only 18 years old.
It is reasonable to say that she, who is very popular in China and Japan, should have a straight career rise, but unfortunately after that, she was "depressed" and seemed to be "cursed".
Over the years, she has been playing soy sauce in Japanese movies and TV dramas. If you want to say that you can get a handy work, basically there is only the documentary series "72 Hours of Documentary".
In fact, Suzuki is only 33 years old now. For an actress, she is quite promising, but from the photo, her figure is seriously fattening, and she has long lost her pure and sweet appearance.
is a pity!
3. Shawn Yue: and Edison Chen became enemies
Shawn Yue and Edison Edison used to be the "Yu Liang" of the Hong Kong film scene. The two have collaborated on many movies. At the beginning, there was a feeling of sympathy, but later With the continuous overlap of the business landscape, the two who created the trendy brand gradually became competitors.
even mocked and scolded each other with their own street fashion clothes printing. Edison Chen called Shawn Yue, who was plagiarized by Shichang Chuan, “who is not for a living”, Shawn Shah responded: “In the face of those who attack you, the best revenge is success.”
The current Shawn Yue puts the focus of life on street fashion and his wife and children, and occasionally starred in one or two literary films. Like Jay Chou, he leads the life of a winner in life.
IV. Edison Chen: I want to make a movie, but it is impossible.
In "Initial D", Edison Chan's role was once considered to be the fullest character in the movie, and the open ending he left is also unsatisfactory.
The former Edison Chan was once regarded as the future star of Hong Kong movies. After all, he was only 25 years old and has already shined in "Infernal Affairs" films that test acting skills. As an actor, Edison Chen's spirituality is beyond doubt.
However, in 2008, a "porn photos" can be said that Edison Chen ruined his stardom. Faced with his mistakes, Edison Chen also said that he will always withdraw from the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
Since then, he has done what he said and has almost no commercial activities, but even so, the media still regard him as an excellent material for news. Every three and a half, there are "Edison Chen is as old as Zhao Benshan" or "Edison Chen yells at reporters for his daughter". Negative news output.
In 2015, in the documentary "At Your Fingertips", Edison Chen confided his voice: "I really want to take a movie, this is my only regret at the moment."
But I am afraid Edison will carry this regret for a lifetime. , After all, he has almost no possibility of a comeback. But with a daughter in her arms, it is estimated that Edison Chen, who loves her daughter, should not be too sad.
5. Chen Xiaochun
Just last month, the pheasant brother had just had a second child, and after Jesper, he had another son.
The relationship between Chen Xiaochun and Ying Caier has always been a good story in the entertainment industry. Now they often participate in variety shows together, and they also take their son to attend activities together. It can be seen that he is really happy.
The young people who used to gallop on the mountain roads now have their families with their mouths, and their youth is no longer.
and the audience who grew up with them, "Initial D" is destined to be a memory for everyone to stay in the years. When you hear the roar of locomotives in the streets and alleys, you may also think of this movie and of the company back then. You who watch the movie.
6. Other actors
have few supporting roles in the film, but there is an actress who only has sporadic shots, butMovie fans left deep memories, this is Chie Tanaka.
Tanaka Chie was born in Tokyo, Japan. In 2008, he was chased by netizens for his outstanding appearance, and then became an Internet celebrity.
In 2005, the 24-year-old Tanaka Chie was invited to serve as the heroine of the MV for Jay Chou's "Seven Miles". In the filming of "Initial D" that started the same year, she also got a role-Miya, a female gas station worker.
has not many scenes, and there are almost no lines, but she is still unforgettable with her sweet looks, and it has become the biggest surprise of this movie to the audience. After the movie
, Chie Tanaka also received attention from the Chinese and Japanese film circles. Three years later, she starred in the movie "Cape No. 7", and she became famous at the age of 27.
However, "Cape No. 7" did not lead her to a new stage in her life. Since then, Chie Tanaka has appeared in a number of film and television dramas, but the quality is average and the scenes are pitiful.
However, the 39-year-old is still as beautiful as a girl. In the suspense drama "Antique Bureau Intermediate" that was launched the year before, Pico spotted her again and entered the starring ranks. I don't know if this can help her start. The second spring of actor career.
Of course, there are other actors. Due to space limitations, we cannot introduce them one by one. You can follow their current situation on the Internet.
As for the two people in the picture below, who chose the self-destruct mode, Pico said with certainty that they are dead in the showbiz, so don't mention it.
