Chapter 37 Can't Ski

Although the second male lead in "Love Letter" does not have many scenes, it plays a role in promoting the development of the story and linking all the stories.

He is the friend of the male protagonist, but after the male protagonist dies, he falls in love with the female protagonist and is with her; the female protagonist cannot forget the male protagonist, he doesn't care, and he keeps instructing the female protagonist; the female protagonist writes a letter from the female second woman, and he also actively helps the female protagonist to give advice; after thinking that it was a liar to take it but was proved that he misunderstood someone else, he also accompanied the female protagonist to confirm and apologize...

In the movie "Love Letter", if the two-sided character of the heroine and the second female are Honghua, then the second male is the most important green leaf in this movie. His role in the plot is even more important than the male protagonist who only lives in the memory of the heroine and the second female.

Chen Yu, the male actor who plays this role in the version of Shunji Iwai's "Love Letter", has forgotten who he is, and only remembers that he has no distinctive face. His acting skills cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, but he doesn't feel that there is anything outstanding.

After all, this movie is mainly watched by the heroine Mie Nakayama who plays two roles, and Takashi Kashihara, who is known as the last beautiful boy in the 20th century, who plays the male lead in his youth.

So it is not a big deal to replace the male lead with Chen Yu, and the second male lead with Dashan Lian.

Although Chen Yu thought he was not bad, he was not as handsome as when Tsuke Kashihara starred in "Love Letter". However, compared to Tsuke Kashihara, Chen Yu's temperament was much more mature than him. After all, Tsuke Kashihara was a real boy at the time, while Chen Yu was an adult who had already stood out in a young skin.

As for Osugiri, he can be called a gold medal supporting role in later generations, and his acting skills are naturally impeccable. As for his appearance... If Osugiri was handsome, he would not have played a supporting role for his whole life.

However, Osugiri's face is very square. Although it has no characteristics, it can be played by good and bad people, and the average level is very high.

Although this is not an advantage, as a supporting actor, being able to become a gold medal supporting actor who can show off in all major Japanese dramas is an important and necessary condition.

After all, with a bad face, no matter how you play a good person, you will look fierce.

After filming the scenes in Tokyo, it is also snowing.

Because Tokyo is a metropolis, it is difficult to have heavy snow even in winter under the urban heat island effect.

But Karuizawa is different. In the mountains, the water vapor accumulates and forms heavy snow. Just looking at the sky is not just about snow.

When Chen Yu received a call from Karuizawa that it was snowing. When he arrived with the crew, the snow on the ground had already exceeded his ankles.

The original Love Letter selected the location in Otaru, Hokkaido, a place with very beautiful scenery. It is precisely because of this movie that Otaru has become a place that many young people yearn for. Go to this small town with a strong literary atmosphere and look for the feelings they yearn for.

However, compared to Otaru, the city of art with Meiji and Taisho traditions, although the scenery in Karuizawa is equally beautiful, it inevitably gives a hint of luxury.

Otaru is just like its most famous music box and glass products, ethereal and transparent.

The melancholy time with memories, the quiet first love and nostalgic feelings in the original movie Shunji Iwai is like Otaru, which makes people pursue the romance and beauty in their hearts in a faint sadness.

But Karuizawa, perhaps from ancient times to the present, has been regarded as a resort for the wealthy class, and it inevitably has a hint of wealth. Compared with Otaru's pureness, which is as transparent as a glass wind chime, it is undoubtedly much worse in the hearts of those who pursue literature and art.

But if Chen Yu wants to judge, he will probably think that it is actually the role of publicity.

Without Shunji Iwai's "Love Letter", Otaru may not have had such a high status in the hearts of young people. Just like when Karuizawa was in decline, if it weren't for the Scottish missionary who thought this place was like his hometown, had built a villa here and promoted it to friends everywhere, Karuizawa might not have had the prosperity that would have been later.

However, in Chen Yu's opinion, choosing Karuizawa as an outdoor location now is more in line with the needs of the times.

It was already 1997 when Shunji Iwai filmed "Love Letter". At that time, RB had already experienced the collapse of the bubble economy, and was in the late stage of a decade of loss. At that time, RB people experienced the spatial prosperity of the bubble era and the collapse and loss of the Great Depression era. The overall social atmosphere is a kind of thought that memories and yearn for the beautiful thoughts of the bubble era.

Under such a social atmosphere, Shunji Iwai's film style tends to be nostalgic and reminiscence, and at the same time it has a bit of Japanese-style literary and artistic freshness, which is very in line with social aesthetics.

But what if the Love Letter is really moved directly to 1985? I'm afraid it may not be so popular.

Because at this time, RB is the time when the economic space is prosperous, people pursue luxury enjoyment and high consumption, and the overall social atmosphere is impetuous.

People do not have the mood of calming down to hurt autumn and nostalgia. They are too late to enjoy luxury every day, and even invent the popular saying "flower and gold". Who will still have the mood to pursue literature and art?

Under this social atmosphere, the most popular luxury resorts and skiing among young people are more in line with the background and aesthetics of this era than the Hokkaido town and mountaineering in Shunji Iwai's "Love Letter".

When it comes to skiing, Kuroki Hitomi was in trouble because she couldn't ski.

"Tongsang, you can't ski?" Chen Yu, who was discussing the shooting schedule with Zhou Fangzhengxing today, heard Kuroki Tsubasa say that she couldn't ski, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

This made him feel a little headache. After all, according to the shooting plan today, he was going to shoot a scene of skiing. As a result, the heroine could not ski, which was a very embarrassing thing.

Kuroki Hitomi was quite embarrassed. She also knew that she could not ski and would affect the shooting progress. However, skiing is still a luxury consumption now. For Kuroki Hitomi, even if she started learning after receiving this drama, she would not have the conditions to study before the winter began.

This era is no better than later generations, and even Tokyo does not have indoor ski resorts.

"I was almost unable to see snow in winter when I was in my hometown, and I didn't have much chance to go skiing when I was in Takarazuka, so I haven't learned it." Kuroki Hitomi felt ashamed and apologized to Chen Yu and Zhou Fangzhengxing very sorry: "I'm really sorry! I wanted to say last night."
