   Chapter 292 Japanese Film Awards Season is missing Takeshi Iwata! Oscar red carpet welcome!

   March 20 is getting closer and closer.

   In fact, this period is also the awards season for Japanese movies.

   It's just that this year's major Japanese film awards have a very strange situation.

   Takeshi Iwata's name is rarely mentioned!

  You must know that the famous supervisor Takeshi Iwata has always been a big winner.

   He has basically won the four major film awards in Japan, although not all of them are the best, but they are basically covered by rain and dew.

  What the **** happened this time?

   What went wrong?

   Of course, it’s not completely absent.

   Just like the Arai Haruhiko who likes to make some tricks, this time he is here again.

   The film "Fast and Furious", the third-highest Japanese film box office this year, only lost to "Terminator" and "Silence of the Lambs".

   However, on the most well-known list of "The Art of Cinema", that is, the bad list, this movie came out on top!

   This kind of evaluation naturally caused a wave of controversy, and since it was evaluated like this, there must be a reason for it.

   "This is not a Japanese movie."

   Just such a sentence, "The Art of Cinema" gave such a reason!

   And this review.

Is not this nonsensical?

  Are you, Haruhiko Arai, put it here?

   It should be said that this famous scriptwriter has achieved his purpose again. He always makes such a very eye-catching and controversial list.

   In fact, everyone knows what he wants to do, but they still can't help but contribute a wave of traffic to this guy.

   In this way, "The Art of Cinema" is a success again.

   But it’s not right!

  Iwata Takeshi doesn't make more than one movie a year, what about his "Bad Boy's Sky"?

   Isn't this movie nominated for an Oscar?

   Arai Haruhiko seems to have forgotten about this movie.

   However, some people did not forget.

   is still the most authoritative movie ranking in Japan, and "Movie Xunbao" is still the same as before, they are not in a hurry to launch their own "Top Ten" list.

   But the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her mother-in-law.

   Finally, after many calls, the top ten list came out.

   "Bad Boy's Sky" was ranked tenth!

  Top ten, last place!

  Let's put it this way, it's good that this top ten list is on the list, but this is Takeshi Iwata's movie, and it's also nominated for an Oscar.

   Could it be that your "Movie Xunbao" also plans to study "The Art of Cinema"?

  Also ready to come out with the whole new trick?

   The oldest film magazine in Japan also has its own statement.

   "This movie is excellent."

   Just a word, and it's over.

what's the situation?

   You, "Movie Xunbao", really failed to learn!

   Japanese fans who care about movies basically have this idea.

   It seems that not only Japanese movies are going downhill, but even movie reviews are going downhill.

   Soon, however, an argument emerged.

   "This time Takeshi Iwata went to the United States early, so that means he shouldn't go to receive the award, so these award-winning guys, in order not to lose face, just don't give him the award."

   Really don't say it, as soon as this argument came out, many people thought it was very reasonable.

   As the Japanese themselves know, the people of the island country have a small temperament.

   To put it bluntly, I knew that I was being careful.

   Plus, if you follow the time limit for many awards.

  Iwata Takeshi's "A Little Thing About Love" should also be shortlisted. At least this film can win several awards, right?

   As a result, these guys seem to have completely forgotten about it.

   This is by far the highest-grossing romance movie in Japan.

   But since this is the case, there is nothing to do.

  Blue Ribbon, Daily Picture Awards and more.

   seems to be a mess.

   In short, there is no such thing as Takeshi Iwata.

   Then, here comes the key!

   What about the Japan Film Academy Awards?

  Basic Mountain, the award ceremony for this award is before the Oscars in the United States.

  Yes, this is probably a 'rule'.

   As for why this arrangement is made, many people do not understand.

   Interestingly, the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is also a copy of the American Oscar, are always awarded after the American Oscar.

   These two absolute knockoffs have two different choices, which is really fun.

   But these are not important. What is important is that this Japanese Academy Award can give Iwata Takeshi any awards?

result…

   Nakamori Akina appeared at the award ceremony!

   "akina, Iwata-san didn't come, so, are you accepting the award on your behalf?"

   "No no, I was just invited."

"Really?"

"real."

   "Ah, so disappointed."

"Ha ha…"

   Kuroyanagi Tetsuko is also a guest this time, but she doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as the host and interviewing Akina.

   The two are old acquaintances, so naturally they can talk a lot.

   Of course this scene was captured on the spot... I guess it was arranged before.

   Akina did not hide anything, indeed, she was only invited as a guest today.

   And finally…

   "Bad Boy's Sky" won the Best Newcomer and Best Editing awards.

  The best newcomer, of course, is Hidetoshi Nishijima. His performance in the movie gives people a very unexpected feeling.

   As for the male lead Masato Sakai, he was originally shortlisted for Best Actor, but...of course he went up to get a certificate and ran with him.

   However, this is not bad. It seems that the Academy Award has given Takeshi Iwata a lot of face.

   So, is this the truth?

  …

   "It must be because of that factor!"

   "Director Iwata is not Yakuza! Absolutely not!"

   "What if it's Yakuza? It's just a matter of making a good movie, and Japan is not without Yakuza's supervision."

   "That's right! These people must be looking for trouble!"

After the    Film Academy Awards, some TV stations did street interviews, especially TV Tokyo.

   As a result, many passersby interviewed mentioned the influence of Iwata Takeshi being the leader of Yakuza.

   It seems that the eyes of ordinary people are still sharp.

   So, it can probably be summed up.

  Iwata Takeshi's harvest in the Japanese film awards season this year is very small, which may be related to the following reasons.

   First, that rumor, Iwata Takeshi may be Yakuza or a team leader.

   Second, Takeshi Iwata's film was nominated for an Oscar, and he went to the United States early.

Third, this is a deep-seated reason. For example, with the success of the movie "Fast and the Furious", some Japanese filmmakers probably think that this guy has successfully landed in Hollywood. Then, Japanese movies may not be important to Takeshi Iwata in the future. .

  To sum up the three points... These Japanese filmmakers are really chicken thieves!

   However, many Japanese fans are also very direct.

   They are now focusing on one thing, whether Takeshi Iwata can get the Oscar!

  …

   Japan local time, Friday, March 20.

   Kobe.

   "Sister! Why don't you do it yet?"

   "Why are you so impatient!"

   "Sister, if you don't do anything, Takeshi Iwata will be back, he, this..."

   "Baga! Come back when you come back! What's the problem!"

"But…"

   "This fellow Yamamoto Hiro will surely die, what's the use of you being anxious?"

   "But what if Yamamoto Hiroshi directly appointed a successor?"

   "So what? Aren't we ready?"

"This…"

   This guy Inoue, he never expected Yamaguchi Fumiko to be so calm.

  I haven't done anything until now. Is this still Fumiko Yamaguchi of the martial arts faction?

  Seriously, Fumiko Yamaguchi, Obasan, has been suffering endlessly in her heart recently.

but!

   That person has already made it clear to her.

   Today, yes, today!

   That person will send Takeshi Iwata's 'criminal evidence'.

   Well, it's Takeshi Iwata's latest movie.

   And the reason why it is today...simple.

  Because of the time difference, although today is March 20 in Japan, it is not March 20 in the United States.

  This day in America is coming late.

   That is to say, that person took this into full consideration and chose this day to send 'criminal evidence'.

   is because you are afraid that you, Fumiko Yamaguchi, will act rashly, because you are afraid that you can't help but make a move in advance.

   So, Fumiko Yamaguchi, Obasan... She really endured very hard.

   However, today is the last day, and the 'criminal evidence' should come!

wait!

  I've been waiting for so many days anyway.

  Compared to Yamaguchi Fumiko's forbearance, the reason why this guy Inoue can't wait is because he... he's been scared recently.

   Yamamoto's people are already putting pressure on him.

   Although there are not many obvious movements yet, he has already felt a very strong pressure.

   His own territory became smaller again.

   Many subordinates were found fault.

   If it wasn't for his rich experience, maybe the current Shanjian team would have been fragmented.

   Therefore, Inoue kept hoping that Fumiko Yamaguchi would do it.

   He was almost unable to hold back.

   And this time!

   "Sister, someone sent a videotape!"

   Yamaguchi Fumiko heard the report from her hand, and she was instantly overjoyed.

   This Obasan originally had a very drooping corner of his mouth, but this time it actually means upturned.

   startled Inoue.

   But, Inoue understands that the turning point is coming!

   "Quick! Get the recorder ready!"

  Fumiko Yamaguchi is now going to see what happened to this 'criminal evidence'!

  …

   Los Angeles local time, March 20.

   Takeshi Iwata was sitting in a limousine in a suit worth $20,000.

  Through the car window, he saw the Los Angeles Music Center not far away.

   This year's Oscars will be held here soon.

   This music center, although it is called this name, is actually a building complex.

   Located in downtown Los Angeles, this is definitely a landmark building.

   Originally there was only one music center, and it often staged classic operas on Broadway.

   In addition, the Los Angeles Museum of Art is right next to it. In fact, this building also belongs to the music center.

   Moreover, this art museum was designed by the famous Japanese architect, Isozaki.

   This may seem like a coincidence.

  Iwata Takeshi thought of this and couldn't help but smile.

   "Uncle, your smile is so scary!"

   Xiaoren complained, and this also attracted laughter from Masato Sakai, Hidetoshi Nishijima, and Rie Miyazawa.

   That's right, Takeshi Iwata brought them all this time.

  Kohhy didn't come because she was going on tour.

   As for Takeno Uchitoyo, he has a lot of announcements, and he doesn't have a lot of scenes.

So be it.

   So, Takeshi Iwata brought them to see the world.

   Now.

   "Very good! Let's go!"

   These stretched limousines are popular in America these days.

   The car stopped, Iwata Takeshi opened the door, and the red carpet happened to be under his feet.

   When he stepped on the red carpet, the tall figure was fully presented

   Kaka Kaka…constant flash lights on!

   This night is destined to be extraordinary.

  …

  PS: It's better, but the cheeks are still swollen. I will get better soon. Please rest assured.
