Shinji: "Pony, we're finished"
Pony: "Idiot, it hasn't started yet"

These are the last two lines of dialogue in Takeshi Kitano's "Bad Boy's Sky", followed by the hearty laughter of the two of them. on the old playground. Then the screen went black, the actors' subtitles came up, and the music came down in a hurry, without a trace of sadness.
When I saw these two sentences, I was reminded of Wong Kar-wai's "Breakthrough", the dialogue at the beginning of the movie: "We might as well start from scratch!". Two different feelings, yet both longing to start over. Our youth is like this, it is too late to grasp it, but it is over, and it is too late to think about it.
Life goes on, and every day has to start over.

Takeshi Kitano made Masanobu Ando's name appear on the big screen for the first time, and the word "newcomer" is still flashing in front of his eyes, which is ten years. In this not short ten years, An Tengjun starred in movies, "69", "Subjugation of the Country" and "Strawberry Muffin". Acting in a small number of TV series, whether it is the idiot in "The March of the Saints" or the troubled teenager in "Age of Youth", he has shown extraordinary talent. This time, Chen Kaige took a fancy to him and is about to play a Japanese officer in "Mei Lanfang", and audiences all over Asia will see his style. Here is a preview in advance.

Iteng Zhengxin has aristocratic blood. When it comes to an actor, we often use words such as "temperament" and "atmosphere". Because of Kitano Takeshi, Andeng was born in art films, even if he later acted in a TV series, his eyes were still clear. Nowadays, there are many successful people who have switched from the small screen to the big screen, such as Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun. Zhang Ziyi started from Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother", and the pattern is much bigger.

Chen Kaige, Takeshi Kitano, Wong Kar-wai, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Zhang Yimou, Tsai Ming-liang, etc., as representatives of Asian film directors, often gather in Cannes, and should also discuss their actors. It is very likely that Anton Zhengxin was gossiping after a certain meal. What Kitano Takeshi introduced to Chen Kaige during afternoon tea was purely out of imagination, so please don't gossip.

Finally, I remind you to watch Anteng Zhengxin, please pay attention to the empty and melancholy eyes under his handsome appearance.
