Tokyo Bubble Life

 Among the guests in the audience, there was naturally Kinji Fukasaku. As a well-known director in the film industry, he sat very close to the front.

However, since the host said that the winning film of the Topic Award was "Midnight Ring", his face turned ugly. When Shuichi Itou said that there would be a sequel, his face turned even blue:

 “What a crappy movie, you want to make a sequel?!”

"Director Fukasaku? What's wrong?" Keiko Matsuzaka, who was next to her, didn't hear clearly and asked with her head tilted.

"It's nothing, it's just that this guy Shuichi Itou actually promoted the movie during a national live broadcast, and he didn't even pay attention to the Film Academy Award!" Fukasaku Kinji attributed all his dissatisfaction with the movie to the director, "He is really the best in the film industry. shame!!"

This sentence was loud enough that many people in the film industry nearby heard it. Many people cast strange looks at Fukasaku Kinji.

Unexpectedly, during the next awards ceremony for Best Supporting Actor and Actor, the award-winning Toyo Kazama and Atsuko Asano actually started promoting their next movie during their acceptance speeches!

 “The movie in which I am participating/starring will be released soon, so please pay more attention to it.”

 Even the sentence structure is the same!

As senior hosts and actors, Franky Sakai and Sawada Ayako were already breaking out in cold sweat. When the camera turned to other people, Sawada Ayako hurriedly sought the advice of Franky Sakai next to him:

 “Franky, what should I do? There’s going to be a big problem at the award ceremony!”

  Franky Sakai Kazu was more experienced after all, and calmly comforted: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the normal process of the program has not changed. It's just that there are some minor incidents in the winner's speech. Sawada-san, just continue according to the process."

 “Are we just going to let those winners do whatever they want?”

 Ayako Sawada still looked very panicked. After all, this was a national live broadcast. If there was a problem with the ratings, it would taint her already not very rich resume!

“The Academy Awards Association must have expected this. But since they have not introduced measures, they must have considered it, and we don’t need to think too much!”

 Franky Sakai quickly thought of the possible reasons, but he didn't know that as the vice-president, Tanaka was lucky enough to pass the blame to the next term.

 I never expected that today’s award ceremony would be a bigger problem.

 The director on the scene signaled the host to continue online. The next award is for best film score.

"Invite the nominees for this year's Best Film Score Award. "Into the Battlefield" - Naoki Nagayama - "Hot Blood High School", the passionate music makes the youth and impulse surge in the veins! Sarah, let's come to Tata open!!"

During Franky Sakai's somewhat unreasonable commentary, Naoki Nagayama stood up and walked towards the stage a little awkwardly.

Looking at the presenter who was in his mid-years, Nagayama Naoki was a little curious. Hasn't this guy been smoothed out by society? "Let's fight!" How can you say such a middle-class thing out loud?

"Next is "Teacher" - Sato Masaru - "Yanghui Tower". "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield" - Sakamoto Ryuichi "Antarctic Story" - Vangelis"

As the host continued to explain, the nominated musicians all came to the interview seat. Unfortunately, Naoki Nagayama was not familiar with him, but he had heard of Ryuichi Sakamoto, even though he was only slightly famous now. However, among the musicians present, his appearance was second only to Naoki Nagayama.

“Naoki-san makes people’s blood boil~ It’s really impressive when paired with the scene of Takizawa Genji’s expedition!

 What inspired you when writing the song "Into the Battlefield"? ! "

“Haha, actually when I was creating, I just had an idea in my mind!”

"Oh? What do you think?" the host asked cooperatively, and other nominated musicians nearby also looked over curiously. They were also curious about how this talented musician created.

“That’s how to walk without being so arrogant that you get beaten up!”

“?!” The host was puzzled.

“So the lead actor and I tried many times. Sure enough, in such a rhythmic BGM, we can come up with such an arrogant posture! That’s why we finally created this kind of music.”

ˆ “.”

 The host and the musicians next to him were a little speechless. Is this how you create music? What does this make other musicians who are racking their brains think? !

Seeing the words of Nagayama Naoki, there was a buzz of discussion in the audience, and the host immediately turned to Sakamoto Ryuichi: "Ryuichi-san, may I ask about "Happy Christmas on the Battlefield"."

As other people were conducting interviews, the scene recovered from the noise just now, and the live broadcast of the Japan Film Academy Awards finally went on smoothly.

After all the musicians have been interviewed, the award presenter finally announced:

“The winner of this year’s Best Film Score Award is Naoki Nagayama!”

 “It’s me?!”

This was an unexpected surprise for Naoki Nagayama, because he was not involved in the management of this award. After he quickly stood up and took the trophy, he bowed to the audience sincerely to thank him.

 It’s time for the acceptance speech again: “Naoki-san, you have won this award, what are your thoughts~”

"Hi!"

 Walking to the microphone, Nagayama Naoki originally wanted to say something special, such as thoughts on youth, but he seemed to be affected by the wanton attitude of the previous speeches, and suddenly he no longer wanted to pretend.

Nagayama Naoki raised his head to face the camera, lowered his voice, and said a line in the second line very rudely,

 “In my BGM, no one can beat me!!”

".Eh?!"

Such a strange speech, even the host did not react at once, and the scene was in an uproar, and the buzzing sound suddenly started!

Nagayama Naoki went on to say:

“Children who are watching TV, please don’t listen to this song and go out on the street! You will be beaten up a dozen times because you walk too arrogantly!”

As soon as these words appeared, all the participants at the award ceremony burst into laughter, and some began to shout:

 "Haha~" "European model series!" "No way!" "How is it possible!"

With the live television signal, this scene suddenly appeared on the screens of thousands of households.

In the Waseda apartment, Nagayama Tsuruko, who was watching TV with her best friend, suddenly spit out the snacks in her mouth.

 “Bagani-chan, what are you doing!”

“Haha, Naoki-san is really interesting.” Junsui Ishii laughed beside him, “It sounds very impressive!”

“Tomorrow all my friends back home will laugh at the Yongshan family!” Tsuruko was furious, “What to do if you teach a bad kid!”

 At the same time, countless primary school and junior high school children also seem to find it very interesting!

"No one can beat me in my BGM! This sentence is very powerful! If I bring a walkman with me tomorrow, those bad students won't be able to bully me!" A certain junior high school student secretly made up his mind. determination!

 There is also a group of bosozokus who are good at modification. They seem to have found some novel way, except using engine sounds and bosozou suits to attract attention. If I put a speaker on the motorcycle.

“When I drive a roaring BGM motorcycle and blast through the street, I will definitely become the most handsome guy on the street!!”

On the other hand, on the stage, the experienced Franky Sakai was trying hard to keep the show going: "Hahaha, are you going to get beaten up? You really need to be more careful, thank you Naoki-san for sharing~"

"Akidou sack. I still have something to say!" Nagayama Naoki quickly requested.

 “Huh?!” Franky Sakai has never encountered someone who continued to ask for more time during the award speech!

"Thank you for your attention, and please look forward to the sequel of "Hot Blood High School", which will be released at the end of this year!"

"In addition, the new movie "April Story" directed by me will be released in April. Please support me!"

The guests at the scene were in an uproar, and even the audience in front of the TV were shocked by this shameless guy. Is the request to extend the time of the acceptance speech just for advertising? !

Host Franky Sakai is still in a daze! Someone actually dares to do this. What do you think of the Film Academy Award? ! Do you take me as the host seriously? !

Having trouble? This is my place!

Fukasaku Kinji in the audience, after hearing Nagayama Naoki’s propaganda, sneered: "A clown! I want to advertise in my acceptance speech so much. I have never seen such a shameless person!"

 The voice was not too quiet amid the discussion. However, he did not notice that some people around him began to look at him with resentment.

However, the live broadcast of the award ceremony cannot be stopped. The host, Franky Sakai, has used decades of skills to finally control his emotions and continue with the next part of the program. For the Best Actress Award, several films produced by Shuyou were not eligible. However, another minor award later, the Best Cinematography Award, was actually nominated for "Hot Blood High School".

Itou Shuichi walked to the front desk happily because of the scene of the final battle in "Hot Blood High School" - under the clear sunset after the rain, the figure that made people excited in the light and shadow, and the roar of the victorious Suzuran overlord.

That shot will definitely leave a mark in film history!

The host saw Itou Shuichi coming up again, and his mood immediately became bad. This guy started the bad behavior of advertising in his acceptance speech!

However, interviews are still required:

“Director Yi Tang, how did you shoot such a scene?” the award guest asked, pointing to the projection on the main background, which was the shot of "Hot Blood High School".

“Speaking of it, it’s really nostalgic!” Itou Shuichi looked at the camera and exclaimed, “We were following the photoshoot at that time, and it just happened to finish raining, and the sunset came out. The right time, the right place, and the right people are indispensable!”

“So, this is an accident?” the award guest asked curiously.

“Yeah, if I were to take the photo again, I wouldn’t be able to do it.” Itou Shuichi accepted his fate. “It’s just like the best photography, it’s a gift from God and cannot be copied.”

This is comparing this lens to the top photography works! The host on the other side cursed in his heart. Looking at the awards presenter, he asked about other people.

But after the interview, the final winner.

“The winner of the Best Photography Award is: "Hot Blood High School" Itou Shuichi"

After Shuichi Itou received the trophy, he stood in front of the podium very excitedly and couldn't wait to speak into the microphone. However, the host Ayako Sawada had already sat back on the host table helplessly. She already knew that development of.

“I am honored to receive this award. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

 First, let’s compare the scenes and then:

"Thank you for your attention to "Hot Blood High School". The filming of the sequel is in progress and will be released at the end of this year!"

"In addition, Shuyu Pictures' latest film "Love Is Still Raining" directed by me, starring Takewaki Muga and Kohira Maki Kaoru, is in production and will be released this summer. Please support it! "

 You didn’t even change your words? ! ! It’s really an advertising slogan! !

 The following awards became more and more important. The best actor was actually won by Ken Ogata instead of Takakura Ken. The awards for best art, best lighting, best sound recording, etc. were also decided one by one.

Unsurprisingly, all the winners introduced their new films during their acceptance speeches.

　　When it comes to Best Screenplay, Naoki Nagayama was nominated again, but this time the winner was not him. The winner of Best Screenplay was Hiroshi Takada - "Yanghui Tower".

 Nagayama Naoki was a little unhappy at first and thought "Love Letter" was also very good, but when he saw the movie "Yanghui Tower", he was convinced

 Elopement, orphan care, geisha. Gratitude, family affection, love, grievances and grievances. This movie can be said to be the best among the worst.

The complicated relationships among the characters can even be clarified by drawing a picture! Being able to write such a script deserves the title of Best Screenwriter!

Hiroji Takada stood in front of the microphone holding the trophy:

“Thank you for the recognition from the Film Academy Awards. I will work harder and create better works in the future.”

“In addition, "Kita no Hotaru", written by me as the screenwriter and starring Nakadai Tatsuya and Iwashita Shima, will be released in September. Please stay tuned!

Kinji Fukasaku in the audience was stunned. Hiroshi Takada was a screenwriter he had collaborated with many times. He was the screenwriter of the famous work "Battle of Inhumanity"!

 Even Koji Takada advertised during his acceptance speech? ! What happened to this era? !

"etc."

Fukasaku Kinji suddenly thought that he had just scolded everyone who came on stage to advertise! ! And these words were obviously heard by Takada Koji who was very close to him!

What a clown, sensationalist, and shameless. These are all talking about Takada Koji! !

 Does this count as enmity? !

Matsusaka Keiko, who was sitting next to her, watched Fukasaku Kinji's changing expression and sighed deeply. It seems that the big tree it relies on seems to be very unstable, and even the connections in the same camp have been offended!

She saw clearly that in addition to Takada Koji, there were many minor award winners. She also heard Fukasaku Kinji’s complaints, as well as the nominees. They had planned to advertise!

 Except for the final speech, this year's Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony went very smoothly.

Hosts Franky Sakai and Sawada Ayako finally reached the last two grand prizes.

“This year’s nominees for the Best Director Award: Heroes of the Fifth Society - "Yanghui Tower". Naoki Nagayama - "Love Letter". Kun Ichikawa - "Snow". Shohei Imamura - "Narayama Setka"."

 In the words of Franky Sakai, all the directors stepped onto the stage again. This was the third time for Naoki Nagayama.

 The Best Director Award mainly depends on the director's imagination, execution, and contribution to the film industry. In terms of execution, the nominated directors naturally have no problem, and they can overcome difficulties and shoot the movie.

In other aspects, in terms of imagination, whether it is "Love Letter", "Snow" or "Narayama Setka", all the nominated films have allowed others to see another world that the audience cannot imagine, lifelike, as if There really are such people.

However, the director of "Narayama Festival" undoubtedly played a leading role in terms of his contribution to the film industry. He won international awards!

 “The winner of the Best Director is Shohei Imamura - "Narayama Festival"!"

 With the announcement of the award presenters, this year’s Best Director has been announced.

“Thank you all for your affirmation and I am very honored to win the Best Director Award”

 After the conversation, it was supposed to be time for advertising, but Shohei Imamura was a little embarrassed: "In addition, I have no plans to make a movie in the past two years and I am polishing the script."

 Actually, after filming "Narayama Setkao", he really needed a break. He could have promoted Shochiku's other movies. But there are too many movies, and any one he chooses will offend people, so he might as well forget it!

“So I hope everyone can continue to take care of me when I shoot the next movie. Hahaha~”

Some witty words made everyone laugh, and the final stage of the Film Academy Awards ceremony actually seemed a little warm.

“The best film selection for this year’s Academy Awards.”

There are many overlaps between the nominated works for Best Film and Best Director. Naoki Nagayama even felt that he did not need to come down and go up again. The people he saw next to him were also the same, except for the director of "Antarctic Story" Nagisa Oshima.

  Nagisa Oshima, like Masahiro Shinoda, is one of the backbones of the "New Wave Film Movement". He met Naoki Nagayama, a good friend of Masahiro Shinoda, once or twice, so he nodded politely on stage.

Since I have already talked to most people before, this time Franky Sakai mainly talked with Oshima Nagisa about what the situation in Antarctica was like during the filming of "Antarctic Story", the situation of dogs, etc.

 After chatting for a long time, the final moment came. The award presenter opened the envelope and solemnly announced on the podium:

“The 7th Japan Film Academy Awards, the winning film for the Best Picture Award is “Love Letter”!! Director, Naoki Nagayama!!”

 “???Is it actually "Love Letter"?"

Nagayama Naoki himself was also shocked. He thought he had no chance! It would be great to get nominated!

 Could it be that our tree friends are operating behind the scenes again? !

Looking at Itou Shuichi below, I found that he was also very surprised. It seems that this has nothing to do with tree friends? If you add this award, the tree friend will have won 5 awards!

 Actually, with all other aspects being equal, there is another very important criterion for the Best Film Award: box office!

 Given that "ET" is a foreign film, the total box office of the local "Antarctic Story" of nearly 5.6 billion is already very high, but the latest total box office of "Love Letter" has exceeded 6 billion! !

 And it can be expected that every winter, the popularity of "Love Letter" will return again

　　The long-term popularity of the movie made the judges of the Film Academy Awards full of the influence of "Love Letter". This is the reason why "Love Letter" was finally selected as the best movie.

There were many thoughts in his head, but under the applause of the guests, the congratulations of the directors around him, and the host’s signal, Naoki Nagayama walked quickly towards the podium.

He bowed deeply, took the trophy from the hands of the Film Academy Awards president, and then stood in front of the microphone:

“I am very surprised to win this award. I would like to thank the crew for their united efforts and Akina Nakamori for her wonderful performance. I will continue to work hard.”

 The words in the scene were very sincere. Then under the murderous gaze of host Franky Sakai:

 “It’s ad time next.”
