Chapter 333 332, Hold My Arm, Tomorrow the Gossip Will Be Everywhere
Chapter 333 332, Hold me, tomorrow there will be gossips flying all over the sky~
The person who decided the award ceremony date must have confirmed the weather with the Meteorological Bureau. When the day really came, the weather was unusually bright, and the sky was as if it had been washed, so blue that it was touching.
Naoki Nagayama naturally put on a handsome suit early and drove a big black car to the studio.
The people from Shuyou Film must go together, but Idou Shuichi went with the people from Kadokawa, and "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale" also carried their name~
What's annoying is that several people in the studio actually wanted to borrow Naoki Nagayama's Toyota Century as a facade
"Otomo-san, after all, we are a film and television production company with a total box office of more than 10 billion. Can't we have a more advanced car to fill the facade?"
Naoki Nagayama sat in the back seat and complained to Yoshimura Otomo, which made Saito Yuki in the co-pilot and Komori Masataka who was driving laugh.
Yoshimura Otomo said helplessly: "Naoki-san, the problem is that even if you have a public car, It is impossible to have a luxury car worth more than 20 million~"
"Besides, you are the president of Shuyou Eiga, your car is naturally the face of the company~"
Although this is the truth, Naoki Nagayama always feels a little uncomfortable sitting in the back seat. It always feels strange to let others drive his beloved car.
"Speaking of which formation should we use to walk the red carpet when we arrive?" Naoki Nagayama talked about other topics and changed his mind. "Masataka, are you going to park the car together?"
"I'll go park it!"
Originally, he could have handed the car to the parking boy, but Masataka Komori didn't want to walk the red carpet. He was originally a behind-the-scenes staff and really didn't want to show up in front of many media figures.
"That's fine, come in by yourself~"
As a member of the film production team, they still have to go on stage together when they finally receive the award.
"What about the three of us?"
Yoshimura Otomo suggested: "Let Yuki-chan walk in the middle and hold Naoki-san's arm."
"That won't work!" Nagayama Naoki refused immediately, not caring about the disappointment on the face of Saito Yuki who was sitting in the passenger seat. "If Yuki-chan holds my arm, there might be gossip flying all over the place tomorrow.
These two days are the time for Yuki-chan to debut, so it's better not to have such gossip."
"That's right. Then hold my arm~"
Yoshimura Otomo nodded. Holding the arm of an old man who is nearly 50 years old, there will naturally be no criticism.
The award ceremony was held at the Prince Hotel, but unlike the rehearsal, the entrance was now full of waiting reporters and media personnel. Every guest who got off the car at the entrance was aimed at by dozens of cameras, and the click-clicking shutter sounds and flashes were almost blinding.
After the three got off the car, they walked on the red carpet in the formation discussed before.
Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura both wore fitted suits, while Yuki Saito wore a white lace dress with a pure white cashmere coat. Her shoulder-length hair was tied into a bun and spread out behind her back, looking pure and lovely.
As expected, all the cameras were aimed at the three people, making Naoki Nagayama's smile a little stiff, but he was still able to walk into the banquet hall at a normal pace, otherwise there might be frivolous and unstable words in the newspapers the next day.
Yuki Saito and Otomo Yoshimura looked very calm, one was talented, and the other was just thick-skinned.
The seats were arranged at the round table in the front half, on the right, not far from the podium.
This seemed to be a gathering place for directors. Naoki Nagayama saw Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda here, as well as other unfamiliar people, and Shuichi Ido was also nearby.
"Masaki-san, Masahiro-san!"
Naoki Nagayama sat down and nodded to the two of them. Masaki Kobayashi, who was sitting very close, was chatting with a director. When he saw Naoki Nagayama, he smiled and said to the person next to him: "Naoki-san is here too. By the way, Fukasaku-san, this handsome guy is the guy who is competing with you for the Best Picture and Best Director. Have you met him yet?"
"Yes, I have seen him many times, but I haven't met him."
Naoki Nagayama also understood that this was Kinji Fukasaku, the director of "Kamata March", a national director in Japan, who is particularly good at shooting gangster films. The "Battle Royale" series is his most classic film.
"Nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama, please give me your advice." Since we met, it is natural to greet each other in Japanese style.
However, Director Fukasaku seemed very cool and just nodded. In fact, if Naoki Nagayama hadn't intervened this year, his "Kamata March" would basically have no competitors. It would only be a duel between "The Life of Hanako Kiryuin" and him.
As expected, guys who like to shoot gangster movies will naturally have a bit of rebelliousness in their personalities~
As the venue became more and more crowded, the cameras in various positions were also ready, and the 6th Japan Academy of Film Awards finally began.
The hosts Yamashiro Shingo and Ishida Eri opened the show skillfully. I guess this line has been rehearsed hundreds of times in private.
Just like in the rehearsal, the awards were read out by the host, and the stars either went on stage for interviews or went on stage to receive awards.
"The shortlist for the Best Newcomer Award is, "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" - Yuki Saito; "Kamata March" - Mitsuru Hirata; "The Bullet" - Ryosumi Ishihara; "Transfer Student" - Satomi Kobayashi."
Looking at the shortlisted newcomer short films on the big screen, the scene of Saito Yuki running from the street under the night was specially enlarged and cut out.
Saito Yuki also came to the rehearsal. At this time, at the waiter's signal, he was still a little nervous and walked onto the stage to be interviewed together with the other shortlisted candidates.
Yamashiro Shingo first made a joke: "When I just saw Miss Yuki Saito walking up, I thought it was my first love who suddenly walked onto the stage. Yeah, it really feels like a first love!"
Saito Yuki smiled reservedly: "Yamashiro-san is too exaggerated."
"This is Ms. Saito's first time starring in a movie. I just saw the scene in the movie where she ran from the dark street. It was obviously a moment of emotional explosion, but in the end it was all suppressed in a silent smile. Such an explosion and It’s very difficult for a newcomer to be restrained. How did you achieve that?”
Why are the questions different from those during rehearsals?
Such thoughts flashed through Yuki Saito's mind. During the rehearsal, he clearly asked what it was like to perform for the first time without saying a word.
But after all, he is an artist who has appeared on many shows, and he still has the ability to adapt to changes:
"Arnold, I was actually so tired that I couldn't speak." Saito Yuki remembered the filming time, "At that time, Director Naoki asked me to run six times! At least 500 meters of streets!"
"Huh? Isn't that 3,000 meters!" host Eri Ishida exclaimed. As a girl, she knows what it feels like to run 3,000 meters.
"Hey, director Naoki actually sat in the car and followed the filming at that time." Yuki Saito couldn't help complaining. "The next few times, he ran in front of the camera and really couldn't say a word. Control your breathing and don’t gasp.”
Maybe Saito Yuki is really suitable for the spotlight. He directly turned the interview into a complaint conference, making the host and other finalists laugh, and other guests in the audience were also laughing.
Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the audience, covered his face while laughing. At that time, Yuki Saito did run away many times.
However, Yamashiro Shingo still controlled the flow of the program and asked some questions to other finalists, but those were much duller and not as interesting as Saito Yuki's interview.
The subsequent Best Newcomer Award naturally went to Saito Yuki. This newbie actor who can move everyone without using any lines is really talented.
During the acceptance speech, I finally did not continue to thank you this time, but introduced my debut in a generous manner, hoping to gain more support from everyone.
After the Best Newcomer Award, there are side awards such as Best Recording, Photography, and Film Score. There is no need to go up for interviews. Naoki Nagayama is naturally nominated. Musical songs like "Slient Love" are obviously much better than other movies, and they are basically already. It is default.
When it was time for Nagayama Naoki to give his acceptance speech, he could clearly feel that Yamashiro Shingo was getting nervous.
But there were no surprises this time, and a lot of words had been prepared for the scene.
When he stepped down from the stage, Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help but ask: "Naoki-san, why is that acceptance speech of thanks gone?"
"Haha, just say it once. If you say it all the time, everyone will find it boring."
However, Kobayashi Masaki who was not far away heard it and responded with a smile: "Naoki-san, I think it's very interesting. If you don't tell me, I will tell you about it next time!"
"Then take it~" Nagayama Naoki was speechless~
The following Best Actor and Actor and Best Actor and Actor actually went to "March of Kamata" in three categories, especially since both the male and female protagonists were from "March of Kamata", and the opponent "The Life of Hanako Kiryuin" actually won the same award. It’s really surprising that I didn’t get any.
When I saw Keiko Matsusaka in a bright blue dress taking the stage as the award presenter, I obviously thought that I had no chance. After all, I was the award presenter. However, when I read the winners, I was not only surprised but also excited. I couldn't help but stand on the awards stage. Tears were shed.
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but look at Kinji Fukasaku who was nearby, and the directors around him. It turned out that they were from the veteran Shochiku Pictures. This ability was really strong.
"Best Screenplay Award, the winner is Kanehara Mineo - "Kamata March""
As the applause came, the award for best screenplay was also won by "March of Kamata".
Naoki Nagayama even felt that this was a counterattack against him by the established big production company.
Although they failed at the Mainichi Film Awards, allowing the oldest company to win a Grand Slam at the Japan Film Academy Awards, the highest selection in the Japanese film industry, known as Japan's Oscars, is the biggest mockery of the enemy. .
So what if you launched a public opinion offensive? In the end, you have to listen to our arrangements?
However, Naoki Nagayama knew that the Japan Film Academy Awards was the exclusive preserve of established production companies, so he didn’t have high hopes.
Shingo Yamashiro on the stage announced the shortlist for the Best Director Award: "Kinji Fukasaku - "March of Kamata"; Yoshitaro Nomura - "Doubt"; Heroes of the Gosha - "The Life of Hanako Kiryuin"; Naoki Nagayama ——"That Summer, the Quiet Sea"; Shunya Ito - "Abduction Report"; Shuichi Itou - "The Tale of Hachiko the Faithful Dog""
On the big screen, the director's respective editing clips were rotating, and the live camera footage was also shown to the director in the audience. It felt like a handsome young man suddenly appeared among a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people.
At this time, a high school girl who was watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony at home was muttering to herself: "Is this shot wrong? How could it be the best director? It should be the best actor!"
There is no need for an interview for the director award. After watching the VCR, Yamashiro Shingo immediately announced the award presenter - Naoki Nagayama.
Naoki Nagayama quickly walked up to the podium and smiled a little stiffly: "A little nervous", which caused a burst of laughter.
"This year's Japan Academy Award, the winner of the Best Director Award -" Naoki Nagayama cut open the envelope, "Idou Shuichi! "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale!"
? ? ?
Neither Idou Shuichi in the audience nor Naoki Nagayama on the stage expected it, but Idou Shuichi still walked up to the podium under the guidance of the waiter, and then Naoki Nagayama was also confused to present the award to his friend.
Kinji Fukasaku in the audience frowned, what's going on? Isn't he competing with Naoki Nagayama? How did someone else take it? !
However, the great director Shinoda Masahiro looked very calm, which aroused Kobayashi Masaki's curiosity: "Masahiro-san, do you know something?"
"The Academy Awards naturally give some face to the Academy." Idou Shuichi's teacher is a big shot in the film industry, with countless connections. Idou Shuichi is from a well-known academy, so he naturally received support from a group of relevant people, "And Fukasaku-san got too much this time!"
Yes, in order to support him, Shochiku can be said to have mobilized all its strength, but there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied. Won the best actor, actress, supporting actor, and best screenwriter. It's already a lot!
When Idou Shuichi was giving his acceptance speech on the stage, he was very surprised. Looking at the audience and the camera lens, there was a ball of heat in his heart that wanted to burst out, but was suppressed by reason.
Best Director Award, am I going to advertise a movie I don't like during my acceptance speech? This is an award that you may only get once in your life!
".I am very grateful for the opportunity given by the Japan Film Academy Association. I was also very surprised to receive the Best Director Award." Idou Shuichi slowly expressed his feelings, trying to delay a little time, but the short acceptance speech still reached the most important moment, "In the future, I will work harder to shoot works that satisfy me. In addition, my new work."
Do you really want to say it? Works that you don't like? But you have already said half of it!
Idou Shuichi looked at the silent people in the audience, and thought of the thousands of viewers behind the camera. His heart tightened, and a sentence was already out:
"The new work "Boys Over Flowers" is about to be launched. I hope everyone can support it!"
Oh? Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes wide, Shuichi-san, you are very brave, talking about TV works at the film awards ceremony!
When Idou Shuichi came down, Naoki Nagayama found that he was shaking all over and drank several sips of champagne~
At this time, Ren Bo Qingshui, who was watching the live broadcast in the studio, broke the glass in his hand with a snap, causing the people around him to exclaim!
Ren Bo Qingshui is actually a martial artist! ! !
After some special awards from the president, Yamashiro Shingo finally announced the most important award: "This year's nominees for the best film,
"That Summer, the Quiet Sea" - Naoki Nagayama; "March of Kamata" - Kinji Fukasaku; "Suspicion" - Yoshitaro Nomura; "The Life of Hanako Kiryuin" - Gosha Hero; "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale" - Shuichi Ido;
Let's invite Vice President Tanaka Tomoyuki to announce the winning works!"
The VCR on the stage was still rotating.
After Tanaka Tomoyuki's announcement, it finally stopped at a piece of blue sea!
