Jin Tong [/b]
the Japanese also surprised behavior art [/b]
when I walked into the Hard Rock Caf E in the Ueno subway station, Jin Tong had been sitting in the corner, and in a group of foreigners, she looked slightly weak. She greeted me with a slight squint and let me think that I had already poured a lot of alcohol, but actually I drank only fruit juice. On the second day, she was going to hold a small exhibition to buy cloth exhibition materials at the lowest price. She ran all over Shinjuku, pool and Ueno this day from the suburb of her residence.
Jin Tong is an artist in the bone. Even if you haven't seen her paintings and behavior art, you can get information from her eyes. "I am a very strange person," she always emphasized. I looked at her picture, with a vague face over her eyes and a magic charm of eating people, which was enough to make people feel sick.
it reminds us of some similar Japanese artists, such as Itou Junji, a horror beauty with a strong Asian style. "Do you feel that your art can get more recognition in Japan?" "I think it should be," she said back to me.
in her eyes, Tokyo is a city that is very tolerant of subculture and minority art. Here, no matter how strange you are, you can find a small group of people here, whether you are experimenting with electronic music or performing art. At an exhibition, Jin Tong finished an experiment with ink. She stood in the middle of a small pot of ink so that she was imprisoned in this small space, trying to stir the ink by kicking, stepping, splashing, splashing and so on to form an interaction. It was bold and rebellious. On that day, she remembered her performance and surprised the Japanese crowd. After all, the daily routine of most Japanese is restraint.
in Tokyo, she spent a lot of time watching exhibitions, watching rock live performances and experimental dramas. Occasionally I go for a walk in the evening grass, where there is a rare quiet atmosphere. She imagined that she could stay in Japan and become an artist after graduation. "Is it difficult to be an artist in Tokyo?" Her eyes were still blurred, and her mouth was disdained. "Where is it not difficult to be an artist?" She seemed to be asking me back, and it was like trying to convince herself again.
Zhao Fei and Japanese friend [/b]
"3000 yuan RMB, I took a film with the Japanese" / > [/b]
for Zhao Fei, studying abroad is like a trip, there is a kind of urge to walk. Without much thought, he quit his job in Beijing. There he was the product manager of the Internet industry, and now he was sitting in a restaurant in a pool, wearing a dark grey sweater, a blue shirt, a cap beside him, and a young man. When he met, he was planning to start learning films in a few months.
for more than a year in Tokyo, in the gap between language learning, he was not only keen on the film community in Tokyo, but also made his first short film "nose" in the summer of 2017.
what is surprising is that Zhao Fei, who was not long in Japanese time, wrote the script in Japanese, and most of the actors were Japanese. It took only a day for the shooting, and the cost was 3000 yuan. He laughs that he is a movie with interactive design thinking, and he spent a lot of time drawing 106 mirrors before shooting, and when he was shooting, it was almost strictly followed by a mirror. "As far as I know, I only shoot Hitchcock like me," he said when he was shy. The short film of
was adapted from Akutagawa Ryunosuke's novel of the same name. The actor is a teacher at Zhao Fei's language school. "He is usually introverted. No one can imagine that he will come to play. But I think his inner activities are very rich. " Movies are like dreams, not only bringing new world to Japanese teachers, but also opening new life for Zhao Fei. Because studying in Tokyo and breaking the order of the past, it is possible to fill in different contents for life.
a Chinese came to Japan to study movies, which surprised many Japanese. I can always hear the film workers advise him, "Japanese movies are going downhill, Chinese films are moving up." Why do you want to come to Japan to learn movies? " For this reason, he often finds it hard to explain. "If I were to work in Beijing, maybe I would not do such things, nor did I have these experiences." When you throw yourself into a new environment, a lot of things happen naturally.
in Tokyo, he loved the small dwellings in the streets and alley. In a wine house with only 4 seats near his home, 70 year old granny went to work in the daytime and opened at night. There is no menu here, and the guest eats whatever the boss does, but she will remember the guests' preferences.
this scene is like the popular drama "late night dining hall", but Zhao Fei said, this seems to be very common in Japan. "The boss will give the regular guest a special tableware, and the box will write my name and the first date."
