Chapter 932 941, the movie chapter award is too little 1 point plus!!
Chapter 932 Chapter 941, the film festival awards are a little too few. Plus! !
DreamWorks, the filming base in Ota Ward, has many crews coming and going. The entire park is very popular, and you can see celebrities and famous actors from time to time.
This filming base, which cost billions of dollars, is now very famous in the industry. With its rich scenes and convenient support, many film production companies that are not very strong will come here to reserve filming locations for filming.
Even in the urban area outside the factory, many supporting services have been built around the filming of the film, including hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, convenience stores, temporary actors introduction agencies, as well as cinemas, entertainment cities, KTVs, bars and even some custom shops for entertainment.
It attracted many people from surrounding cities to come and work, and also caused the economic data of Ota Ward to rise rapidly. The Ota Ward government was very happy!
The speed of urban renewal can be said to be changing with each passing day, and it is completely different from the stubbornness and old-fashionedness that people have in their minds.
Of course, in the fast-growing bubble era, everyone was looking to make more money, which is naturally different from the neon after losing thirty years.
"Naoki-san~"
The park director, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa, still went out in person to pick up Naoki Nagayama, with a humble smile on his face.
"Welcome to DreamWorks~"
"Ishikawa-kun, why are you so polite~"
Naoki Nagayama patted Ishikawa Katsuyoshi on the shoulder and suddenly realized that this guy seemed to be much fatter than before, as if he had eaten a lot of oil.
"You haven't been exercising much lately, have you?!"
"Ah, this!" Ishikawa Katsuyoshi shrugged, "I've been busy lately, in the park every day, and I don't have time."
"You should pay more attention to your body. If you eat too much and gain too much weight, a series of problems will arise!"
Naoki Nagayama's words are absolutely from the bottom of his heart. From his previous experience, after gaining weight, all kinds of strange symptoms will appear, such as fatty liver, high blood lipids, and high blood pressure.
However, to Katsuyoshi Ishikawa, these words had another meaning.
"What do you mean Naoki-san? Eating too much? Did you find out that I took kickbacks?!"
"Being too fat will cause problems?! This is a warning to me, this must be a warning to me!!"
"How could Kexiu have sent an auditor when he only accepted a small amount of gift money?"
The director of the film shooting base manages the shooting sites of so many crews and is far away from the company headquarters.
Just open your mouth and there will be a lot of money sent to you, and there are even some pillow businesses. It is just that Ishikawa Katsuyoshi has not been completely corrupted.
In fact, the filming base in Ota Ward was doing so well, and the company was also filming its own film "101 Marriage Proposals". When Yoshimura Otomo from the headquarters came to inspect last month, he found that there were too few people and insufficient management and supervision of the main business, so he hired an assistant for Ishikawa Katsuyoshi.
Katsuyoshi Ishikawa is mainly responsible for business, so his assistant is naturally responsible for financial matters. This is a routine operation of mature companies to prevent branches from getting out of control.
Just like Shuyou Capital, although it has Nakai Yuanta, an absolute confidant, the financial staff are still sent from Shuyou headquarters! The same is true for the discotheques, KTVs, offices, etc. under its name.
But Ishikawa Katsuyoshi didn't think so. He wasn't a close confidant, and he was indeed a little greedy. He sent someone to manage the finances just the day before yesterday, and today Naoki Nagayama came to warn him personally.
"I didn't expect that Naoki Nagayama is so scheming at such a young age! No wonder he can make so much money!"
Although he complained in his heart, his face was full of sincere smiles:
"Hey, I must find time to exercise!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded and walked inside: "Yeah, the most important thing is to stay healthy. Life is only a hundred years, and in the end, health is still the most important!"
"Naoki-san, why are you here today?"
"I'm mainly here to see if the filming of 101 Marriage Proposals is going smoothly." Naoki Nagayama said, "By the way, please book my movie location in advance!"
"I see. I'll take you there right away."
Katsuyoshi Ishikawa diligently led his president on the way. No matter what, there was absolutely no wrong thing to serve his own boss first.
Kyon Kimura's "101 Marriage Proposals" has just started not long ago, so he is not too anxious. He just repeatedly polishes some scenes and lets the crew get used to it first. This is what he learned from Naoki Nagayama.
"Other extras, eat as usual and speak quietly. Male and female protagonists, remember this is your first blind date, so be reserved and polite."
In the restaurant's interior scene, Kyon Kimura gave some advice to the male and female protagonists who were on a blind date.
"Ready.action!"
Hitomi Kuroki (Kaoru Yabuki), with her hair loose and wearing a kimono, sits across the table with her back straight. Opposite her is Toshiyuki Nishida (Tatsuro Hoshino), who is wearing a suit that doesn't fit her and looks very nervous.
The two people who played the heroine's sister and the hero's sister livened up the atmosphere.
"Miss Xun, don't you like crabs?"
Hoshino Tatsuro's words made Yabuki Kaoru on the other side laugh non-stop, because before dinner, she and her sister talked about today's blind date and laughed at him for being like a crab.
"This is my sister's first blind date, so she's a little nervous," the younger sister explained.
"Hoshino-san seems very calm~" Yabuki Kaoru tried to find a topic to talk about.
"Ha~" In front of this beautiful woman, Hoshino Tatsuro seemed to have found something worth showing off, "Actually, I've come here 100 times!"
"!!!" The younger brother next to him almost spit out the food in his mouth and immediately explained, "It's the second time, it's the second time"
The two people on the other side thought it was just a joke, and the atmosphere eased a lot, so they continued chatting:
"May I ask how old you are, Mr. Hoshino?"
"28!"
"!!!" The younger brother explained again, "Haha, he is actually 42~"
"So you're not married yet?"
Yabuki Kaoru interrupted with a smile: "Chie, it's rude to ask this. Can't you tell it at a glance?"
"." Who is rude? !
The scene fell into an awkward silence, and Yabuki Kaoru realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly tried to make amends:
"I can tell at a glance that he must be so focused on work that he doesn't have many opportunities to meet girls."
“Ahahahaha, that’s exactly what happened!!”
The atmosphere at the scene instantly turned back to lively and gentle.
"."
"Why hasn't Miss Xun gotten married either?"
"."
"It must be because everyone sees Miss Xun as a flower from the top of the mountain, so no one dares to pursue her!"
"Hahaha~"
Kyon Kimura watched the performances behind the camera, and was actually silently evaluating the performances of the actors. Nishida Toshiyuki was indeed a veteran actor, and he performed the awkward and reserved attitude very well. Hitomi Kuroki was a little reserved, perhaps because of the stage play.
The two supporting characters surprisingly got along well and acted very relaxed, but they still lacked coordination with the others.
"CUT!"
When the scene was finished, Kyon shouted "Cut".
"Nishida-san, you performed very well, but your coordination with your brother was a little lacking. Hitomi-chan, relax a little, you're sitting too straight."
After talking about the crew's performance, Kyon Kimura shouted to the production manager:
"Props team, change the crab! Another one!"
Seeing that the filming was in progress, Naoki Nagayama did not walk forward but quietly stood behind the crew and watched for a while.
Kyon Kijima is now able to command the crew with ease, and his communication with the actors is also smooth during filming. In fact, the last shot was already good enough, but Naoki Nagayama could see that Kyon Kijima was honing the coordination between the crew and the actors.
“He’s already a mature director!”
Naoki Nagayama sighed and decided not to bother them. Otherwise, the crew centered around Kyon Kimura might have to re-establish their core members.
"Ishikawa-kun, let's go~"
"Eh? Naoki-san isn't going to meet Kido-kun?" Ishikawa Katsuyoshi was a little surprised.
"No," Naoki Nagayama said without explaining anything. He quietly left the set and said to Katsuyoshi Ishikawa, "Ishikawa-kun, take me to see the antique-style area!"
"Hi!"
Katsuyoshi Ishikawa took Naoki Nagayama towards another area of the park.
"Hayato: New World" takes place more than 30 years ago. At that time, there were already many high-rise buildings in the core area of Tokyo, but other places were not like today, with low buildings, tangled wires, and even some shanty towns... those are the places where the real lower classes live.
At the shooting base, a fairly large area was specially built. Naoki Nagayama walked around the set and was very satisfied.
“Neighborhood doesn’t have a place like Kowloon Walled City. If there is, it would look like a real gangster when photographed.”
In such a complex and narrow neighborhood, the chase and fighting scenes will be exciting.
"Ishikawa-kun, please help me fix the scenes here during this time," Nagayama Naoki said to Ishikawa Katsuyoshi who had been standing next to him, "Prepare some clothes from 30 years ago. Then send me some recruitment notices in the extras agency. I want some fierce-looking male extras who can play the role of gangsters."
"Hey, I got it!"
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama returned to the Shuyou Building.
"Otomo-san~"
"Naoki-san, everyone is here!"
When Yoshimura Otomo saw Naoki Nagayama, he took him directly into the conference room. There were familiar faces in the conference room, all of whom were members of the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee.
"Good afternoon, Mina-san~" Naoki Nagayama greeted everyone with a relaxed expression, "I called everyone here today for one reason: the opening date of the Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching, and we are here to confirm the final process of the event."
In fact, large-scale events are constantly changing until the last minute, and the Red and White Songs Festival has also had last-minute changes to its programs.
"I will give an opening speech at the opening ceremony."
Naoki Nagayama announced this directly, leaving no room for further discussion, and also confirmed some points that have been debated.
"The opening movie is 'Our Little Sister'."
"The opening ceremony will be broadcasted jointly by the five major television stations."
"Award Presenter"
"."
As the initiator, organizer and sponsor of the Tokyo International Film Festival, Shuyou does have a lot of say in this event. However, if the Tokyo International Film Festival is to exert its due influence, it needs the cooperation of other parties.
Therefore, Naoki Nagayama made many concessions to major TV stations, old production companies such as Toho and Toei, and official representatives in terms of broadcasting rights, media interviews, award presenters, exhibition venues, and promoted films.
Except for the opening words and opening movie, Shuyou Films has the lowest exposure in other aspects among all parties.
"Mr. Naoki Nagayama."
Toho's Minister Nakano Chizui expressed his opinion after Naoki Nagayama's speech.
"Toho has no objection to other matters except the film awards."
Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou looked at each other. Are they going to interfere with the award?
This is the most important area of the Tokyo Film Festival. If the awards are not objective and have no authority, then the film festival will not be able to continue from the beginning.
"The selection of the awards has been handed over to the jury to decide. Toho should also have judges involved, right? Minister Nakano, is he not confident in the jury led by Shohei Imamura?"
"Ah, no, no, no, of course we agree with Shohei Imamura's jury." Nakano Chizu hurriedly shook his head. He couldn't admit this. "It's just that we feel that there are too few awards in the main competition unit!"
Currently, there are only six awards in the main competition unit: Film Festival Grand Prix, Grand Jury Prize, Best Director Award, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Ozu Memorial Award. It is indeed a bit too little, not even a fraction of the Blue Ribbon Award.
"So what does Minister Nakano mean by that?"
"I would like to propose that, in addition to the main competition unit, some film festival encouragement awards be added, such as the Youth Film Award to encourage young directors and the Critics' Special Award to encourage films that have caused controversy in the film industry."
“There are also Artistic Contribution Awards and Special Achievement Awards to recognize those who have made outstanding contributions to the art of film.”
When Naoki Nagayama heard the names of these awards, he immediately understood that these awards were not judged based on the quality of the film itself, but were based on words such as encouragement and contribution.
In fact, it is just a group of people in the film industry sitting in a row and sharing the spoils!!!
Generally speaking, there will be no awards for the first time in various film selection activities. This is because the selection itself may not be authoritative or well-known, and those senior bigwigs may not look down on it.
It seems like the bigwigs are also very optimistic about this Tokyo International Film Festival!
Originally, Naoki Nagayama thought that it would be the second or third film festival before this group of people would ask for this kind of award to be added!
"I see. Then how are the winners of these awards chosen?" Naoki Nagayama nodded, looked at the other members, and said nothing. "There are only a dozen days left before the opening!"
"Haha, stupid tape!" Minister Nakano was very happy to see that Naoki Nagayama did not object. "As long as Naoki-san does not object, our preparatory committee can vote on its own. After all, representatives from the film industry such as Toho, Toei, Shochiku and Kadokawa are all here."
"Well, this is fine~"
Anyway, it was just printing a certificate and giving out an award, and it wasn't part of the main competition, so Naoki Nagayama had no objection.
He looked at Idou Shuichi:
"Shuuichi-san, you can host this event. You don't have to give too many awards~"
"Me?" Idou Shuichi was surprised for a moment, then he understood instantly and nodded immediately, "Hey, I'll host it!"
Behind Shuichi Ido is the Tokyo Academy of the Arts. The academic school is also a considerable faction in the film industry. They definitely have a need for such an honorary award!
Let them compete with each other. Naoki Nagayama is now mainly trying to make the Tokyo International Film Festival a success.
The rest can be put aside.
After this minor incident, the meeting continued, discussing the screenings of films in various venues, where to register other films if they were to be exported or imported, etc.
The sun outside is very bright. Film festival posters can be seen everywhere near Yoyogi Park. Flags are fluttering in the wind. The Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching step by step.
