When Gao Cangjian mentions Gao Cangjian's name, the audience in China will soon associate his image with Du Qiu in Chasing and the loyal farmer in The Call of the Distant Mountains. His burly figure, slender legs, short black hair, two wrinkled eyebrows, a pair of worried eyes and a face full of perseverance and vicissitudes show a breathtaking male charm.

Gao Cangjian, who is famous for his taciturn "man" image, is a "miracle" in the Japanese film industry. In the past 50 years, he has made more than 200 films and won dozens of awards, which is unparalleled in the Japanese film industry so far. In 2000, Gao Cangjian, who was nearly 70 years old, won the Best Actor Award at the Montreal International Film Festival for his film The Railwayman, and once again conquered countless fans who admired him. Gao Cangjian is a representative of Japanese contemporary films. He has starred in many famous films, such as Happy Huang Shoupa, Station, Anxious, Strait, Hag and Tale of the Antarctic. He is still active in the performing arts. Two years ago, The Railway Man starring Ryoko Hirosue set a box office record of 2.05 billion yen.

As the opening film of 18 Tokyo International Film Festival, starring "Riding a Thousand Miles Alone" moved many Japanese audiences and journalists to tears.

Perhaps the name Gao Cangjian is unfamiliar to many people after 80 years.

But it was in the era when we were born (the early 1980s) that the movie Hunting starring Gao Cangjian was popular all over Chinese mainland. The kind and touching Mayumi and the taciturn Du Qiu prosecutor almost became the symbols of that era.

For our parents, Chasing is the most influential Japanese film. My dad said that he had watched it more than ten times, and there was a huge queue every time. Those people have watched it n times like him.

In the past 50 years, he has made 203 films and won more than a dozen awards. Gao Cangjian is a leading figure in the Japanese film industry.

Du Qiu calls for distant mountains in Chasing and Loyal Farming. His knife-like face, vertical collar trench coat, cold eyes and a face full of perseverance and vicissitudes show a breathtaking male charm. Those people in Tang Guoqiang are compared to "butter boys" and feel ashamed. Because of Gao Cangjian, they are under unprecedented pressure. At that time, the girls in China shouted "Looking for Gao Cangjian".

Interestingly, not only is it discussed in the newspaper every day, but there is also a movie called "Looking for a Man", where the heroine looks for it. The final conclusion is that there is no tough guy like Gao Cangjian in China.

A windbreaker factory rushed out the windbreaker worn by Du Qiu, and only a few days later,100000 pieces were sold out. You know, at that time, people's wages were only tens of dollars.

Film Academy even enrolls students according to Gao Cangjian's standards. Most of the boys who entered the Film Academy in the early 1980s were pretending to be cool Gao Cangjian, but their temperament was not affected.

Mr. Gao Cangjian once said that he never thought that chasing would have such a great impact. He started filming for money, escaped the arranged marriage at home, and had no movie ideal at all.

In the eyes of Japanese media, he is a cold husband who often disappears suddenly and never says a warm word to his wife, but he has never remarried for more than 30 years after divorce. When his ex-wife died, no one saw him cry, only he stood silently in front of the grave.

But a few decades later, when filming Railway Man, he would suddenly ask whether he could sing a Tennessee waltz in the film, which was his wife's famous work before she got married.

"Actually, I'm stupid ..." Gao Cangjian always commented on himself.

Actually, it's not like that at all. During the 26 years from 1976 to 200 1 in Gao Cangjian, he made a total of 18 films, but his works in this period all condensed Gao Cangjian's painstaking efforts and had high artistic value. But also in TV dramas and music. In today's words, Gao Cangjian is the star of movies, TV and songs.

Gao Cangjian, who is taciturn on the screen, has a good voice, and his deep and magnetic voice has a special charm. Many of his songs, such as The Lion Peony in the Tang Dynasty, The Vow of Men and Wandering, are still popular songs in Japanese karaoke bars.

Perhaps for Gao Cangjian, words can express feelings more delicately than language. In the late 1980s, he began to concentrate on writing and recorded his emotional world through writing.

199 1 year, Gao Cangjian published a collection of essays "I hope you can praise me" to express his memory of his late mother.

200 1 published the book "Antarctic Penguin" and introduced the experience of shooting location at home and abroad for many years. According to Japanese media reports, because the language is concise and lively, and there are many vivid illustrations, Japanese educational institutions have decided to use part of the book as teaching content in the sixth grade Chinese textbook for primary schools in 2005.

Since the late 1980s, Gao Cangjian's performing arts activities have been in a mysterious state.

Now, the Japanese prosecutor, who is over 70 years old, has returned to the Jianghu with his disciple Nakai Kichi and starred in his 204th work "Riding a Thousand Miles" in China.

The cooperation between Gao Cangjian and Zhang Yimou can actually be traced back to before 2000. Zhang Yimou has long publicly expressed that he is a fan of Gao Cangjian and hopes to make a film starring Gao Cangjian. In 2000, when Zhang Yimou and Gao Cangjian met for the first time, they felt that it was a hero's brief encounter, and immediately determined the intention of future cooperation.

On the shooting scene in Lijiang, Zhang Yimou praised Gao Cangjian's acting skills. "Mr. Gao Cangjian is a very respectable actor and deserves to be a world-class movie star!"

Gao Cangjian once said, "I have made few films in recent years, mainly because there are too few satisfactory scripts.". If this is true, Riding a Thousand Miles should be a work that satisfies Gao Cangjian.

What a pity! What a manly actor! He quit after filming Zhang Yimou's movie, but he will always support him!
