The 32nd Tokyo International Film Festival is underway.
At this "Asia's Largest International Category A Film Festival", many Chinese faces can be seen every year.
is especially large this year. The chairman of the
jury is the Chinese actor Zhang Ziyi. The main competition unit includes one Chinese film competing for the Grand Prix, the "Asian Future Unit", and three Chinese films are shortlisted.
In addition, there is a Chinese film that I am looking forward to, which also completed its world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival yesterday.
It is "Ice Peak Storm".
earlier during the last film festival, I paid attention to this movie. The reason for
is simple, its cast is too strong. The two starring roles of
are the configuration of the queen and the actor.
Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu, with the Japanese actress Koji.
Zhang Jingchu is one of the domestic actresses I admire very much.
I always think that she is probably the most underrated post-80s actress in China.
The first time I saw her acting was "Peacock" directed by Gu Changwei.
I still remember the scene of her riding a bicycle and dragging a light blue parachute in the film.
At that time, twenty-five-year-old Zhang Jingchu had not acted in a movie, and only made her mark in a few TV dramas, but her first "electrocuted" performance was not immature in her performance. She quieted her appearance, but her heart was powerful and powerful. The interpretation is precise and touching.
Since then, I have remembered her name.
Zhang Jingchu is changeable.
She has played many good roles, but they are all different.
In "Aromatic Journey", she has to play a role that spans a large time span, from young to old. Zhang Jingchu did not show her timidity. She played the delicate and pretty girl and the tiredness and vicissitudes of the middle-aged woman. After he came out, he won the Cairo International Film Festival and won the grand prize of the International A Film Festival.
In "The Disciple", she played the role of Affin, the wife who became addicted to drugs to persuade her husband to quit. This pitiful and pathetic character was impressed by Zhang Jingchu's extreme desperation.
After this "Tangshan Earthquake", she played the role of Fang Deng as an adult. The two scenes with Chen Daoming and Xu Fan's opponents were not small, but Zhang Jingchu's performance was not inferior to her predecessors, and she expressed natural and strong emotions. , Enough to move almost all the audience.
The last time I saw Zhang Jingchu in a movie, it was last year's "Wu Shuang". Zhang Jingchu's performance was still superb. Her tearful and smoking scenes amazed countless people.
Zhang Jingchu is not a particularly prolific actor. She chooses the role. This time she appeared in "Bingfeng Storm". It must be the role that showed her the possibility of challenging herself again.
Moreover, playing with Hiroshi Yakusho is a very rare opportunity for any actress.
Fans who are not particularly familiar with Japanese movies may ask, who is Yakusho Koji?
My answer is very simple and rude: one of the best male actors in Japan.
Yakusho Koji, who has won the Japan Film Academy Award for Best Actor three times, has appeared in too many classic works that can be recorded in history.
Yakusho Koji was born in Dahe drama. In 1983, at the age of 27, he first appeared on a TV screen, playing the role of Oda Nobunaga in "Tokugawa Ieyasu", a young man who just debuted and played such a significant and important role, his talent is evident.
His most well-known works are several important films completed in the 1990s.
In Zhou Fangzhengxing's "Talking about Love, Jumping and Dancing", Yakusho Koji played a man in a middle-aged crisis, and his performance was light-hearted, earning him the crown of the first actor in his life.
In 1997, Hiroshi Yakusho performed three masterpieces. Morita Yoshimitsu's "Paradise Lost", Imamura's "Eel", Kurosawa Kiyoshi's "X Seiji", these three masterpieces are inseparable from the wonderful interpretation of Yakusho Koji, which further proves his The status of the Japanese film scene. Among them, "Paradise Lost" starring him and Hitomi Kuroki has become a classic of the era. Not only did it gain a good reputation and the box office, it was often discussed by fans in the following years.
in Hollywood, the name of Yakusho KojiNo one knows. In 2003, he participated in "Memoirs of a Geisha". Although not many scenes, his performance is still impressive. In "The Tower of Babel" directed by Inaritu, he played a very complicated role, as a father who faced many difficulties, and his performance was still calm enough to show a sense of hierarchy.
Last year, he won the Best Actor Award at the Japan Film Academy Awards for his new film "Blood of the Lone Wolf". For this Japanese national treasure actor, an award like the actor does not seem to be a big deal.
, starring Yakusho Koji, "Ice Peak Storm" has an eighth bottom in my heart.
Zhang Jingchu and Hiroshi Yakusho were quite cautious in connecting the film.
"Ice Peak Storm" has the prerequisite to impress two good actors-a good story.
Actors choose the script, the first thing they choose is the theme.
"Ice Peak Storm" is a disaster drama.
Its setting is very catching. The
story takes place near Mount Everest. Two agents,
, suddenly found the Himalayas rescue team, claiming that a plane crashed and caused the loss of confidential documents, and the rescue team needed to retrieve the documents, otherwise the consequences would be serious and may threaten the situation in the surrounding area. The
rescue team must set foot in the "death zone" to find the documents.
They need to reach an altitude of 8,700 meters. Captain
analyzed, staying in the dead zone for 72 hours, the chance of survival is zero.
but they have no choice. The
rescue team went deep into the top of the snow-capped mountain, facing unknown challenges and dangers.
Sudden avalanche:
steep and dangerous cliffs:
difficult to climb glaciers:
These are "natural disasters" and "man-made disasters."
There may be a hidden conspiracy behind this search. All kinds of
caused the rescue team to encounter a huge crisis.
Survive in desperate situation, desperately fighting, just watching the trailer has made me feel excited.
Watching the trailer, Zhang Jingchu's role also made me shine.
, the rescue team member named Xiaobao, seems to have an unknown past. She has such a line:
"I will not leave anyone behind."
Perhaps, she has experienced life and death on the top of a snow mountain.
Of course, the trailer left me with a lot of questions: Can the
rescue team find confidential documents? What exactly is the
conspiracy?
How will this crisis be resolved?
Everything will not be known until the film is released.
However, the audience at the Tokyo International Film Festival is much luckier.
mentioned earlier that the film had its world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival yesterday. The response to
is pretty good. After the screening of the
film, many moved audiences participated in the handshake and autograph session. The most mentioned words when communicating with each other were "always crying".
is not only easy to cry, but also so cool and bitter.
Some fans called this the best movie he has seen in the film festival so far. It's really great. After watching it, I especially want to go climbing the snow mountain with my friends. Some people at
were deeply moved by Zhang Jingchu’s realistic makeup and close-ups. To the details, many people mentioned the last little bag and the Cygnus who flew by her side:
"It's so beautiful, so I was moved to tears." "
faced everyone's compliments, and the Yakusho smiled a little shyly, "I am very happy to be praised so much today."
did not expect Zhang Jingchu on the side to secretly leak-Mr.
yakusho wanted to make a better movie. The effect was that once he was suspended by a steel cable for 27 hours, a large black green was strangled all over his body.
can see that every touch of delicateness requires real emotion and effort. The most interesting thing about
was an aunt at the scene who kept asking: Is the
small bag dead?
didn't feel relieved until he saw that the actors on the scene were still alive.
After reading the comments of these Japanese netizens, my expectations for the film have deepened a bit.
can't wait,I want to see this hot movie at the Tokyo International Film Festival being released in China. The movie
has been scheduled to be released on November 29. I hope this "ice storm" will come more violently.
