Chapter 814 822, I Have Finished the Award Speech I Prepared

Chapter 814 822, I have finished the speech I prepared.

In mid-February, the weather became changeable, with a few light rains from time to time, and then two sunny days, so people had to be fully prepared when going out.

However, in such weather changes, the temperature in Tokyo began to rise slowly, making people understand that spring is coming here step by step~

Some time ago, major newspapers have announced the shortlists for the three major awards in the Japanese film industry, and now, the official award ceremony is about to be held!

"Naoki-san." Shuichi Itou and Naoki Naoyama were preparing to start speaking from the studio, "Have you prepared the speech for the Academy Awards today?"

"Ah, the speech~"

Naoyama Naoki's attention these past two days was not on the film awards ceremony, but on making a guide to Brazil. He didn't even attend the rehearsal, so he didn't prepare anything too detailed for the speech.

"Wouldn't it be OK to just thank someone casually?!"

"Naoki-san, please don't do that!" Shuichi Itou quickly advised, "Your previous speech of 'thanking someone for the opportunity' has been considered the most You gave a perfunctory acceptance speech. If you do it again, the Academy Awards will think you don't respect them!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was about to refute, but Idou Shuichi continued,

"Although it was okay to be perfunctory in the past, but now we are in the process of striving for the Palme d'Or, we should not make trouble!"

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama said in a muffled voice:

"Hey, I understand. I'll think about it now!"

"Well, that's right." Idou Shuichi rarely said that he won Naoki Nagayama, and his mood suddenly became very good~

Both of them were dressed in formal clothes and got into the luxury car specially equipped by Shuyou together, and drove towards the award ceremony venue of the Academy Awards.

The Prince Hotel in Shinagawa District has been surrounded by people at the main entrance. The goal is the Academy Awards of Oscars, so naturally they can't lose in the details of walking on the red carpet.

Naoki Nagayama and Idou Shuichi walked onto the red carpet from the main entrance. Unlike Idou Shuichi who waved everywhere like a peacock, Naoki Nagayama did not make too many movements or pauses, but just walked towards the venue with his head down.

However, the reporters present did not let him go. It had been a long time since he appeared in the headlines. The entertainment industry media reporters were even a little excited when they saw Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, Akidou Masada! How many trophies do you think you can win today?!"

"Naoki-san, is your goal the best film?!"

"Director Nagayama, do you have plans for your next film?!"

"Mr. Naoki Nagayama. Why didn't you attend the award ceremony with Ms. Akina Nakamori?!"

"."

The click of the shutter and the flash that was conspicuous in the daytime made Naoki Nagayama a little emotional. This kind of attention-grabbing treatment is something that many stars and idols can't even ask for!

But all he felt was noise and noise

So

"Private Marseille, I'm going to be late! Go ahead!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't stop, he swung his long legs and quickly slipped into the venue door!

Late? There's still more than an hour before the show starts! You're late for a ghost!

The reporters outside started to make a noise, complaining about the unethical Naoki Nagayama, and then directed their anger at Shuichi Ido who was being interviewed.

"Director Ido, you should take good care of Naoki Nagayama!"

"Shuichi-san, go and pull Naoki Nagayama back! There are still many questions!"

"Mr. Shuichi Ido, what happened to Naoki-san? So anxious? Is it urgent?"

"."

Shuichi Ido, who stayed outside, smiled so hard that his face was stiff, but he couldn't learn from Naoki Nagayama to abandon a large group of reporters. Although there were isolation banners, he was surrounded by reporters because he wanted to be interviewed too close before.

Can't run away!

The Neon Film Academy Awards will be broadcast live nationwide, and it will be in a hotel, so the first few rows are like a banquet, and the back is a row of chairs.

In the entertainment industry with strict hierarchy, the seating arrangement of the award ceremony is also very deliberate. Most of the tables in the first few rows are bigwigs in the film industry who are ranked by seniority and highly respected.

However, the ones in the middle, closest to the stage, are all popular stars, the most likely candidates for the award.

With Naoki Nagayama's current status, he naturally sat firmly on the middle tables.

"Naoki-san, you're here!" Just as Naoki Nagayama sat down, Kitano Takeshi nearby greeted him.

"Kitano-san," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "You came so early. Shouldn't you be filming "Yaksha" at this time?"

"It's almost finished. At least I've finished it!" Kitano Takeshi smiled, "Wait for the other leading actors to finish filming, and then it's time to edit~"

"Kitano-san's part is very fast~" Naoki Nagayama was a little curious, "Then Yuko-san, will you come today?"

"Of course, she's the host. Didn't Naoki-san come to the rehearsal?"

"Hehe, I'm busy."

"Kijima-kun won't come today either?" Kitano Takeshi was very interested in the assistant director Kyon Kijima, and his presence like a special ability left a deep impression on him, so he wrote it down.

"He's busy filming "Love Century" and won't come today~"

"That's a pity~"

"."

Naoki Nagayama and Takeshi Kitano were chatting happily, and they also saw the young actor Naoto Fujiki. However, it is rare for child stars to win awards. He did not win the Best Newcomer Award this time. He was just here to make up the numbers~

After Shuichi Ido joined in, the others chatted even more happily, and almost tricked Takeshi Kitano into the filming of "Squid Game"

When the music stopped, the award ceremony of the Academy Awards in Showa 60 officially began.

The hosts Ken Ogata and Yuko Tanaka stood on the podium and began to announce the official start of today's award ceremony.

"Mina-san, many excellent films emerged in Showa 59. After strict screening by the jury and the audience, the winning films will be announced today!"

"The 8th Academy Awards ceremony officially begins!"

The nominated films for the Academy Awards are voted by members of the Neon Film Academy Association. The final winning films have actually been selected before the broadcast. The so-called live broadcast is just a formality~

However, except for a few people, no one knows the final list of winners, including Yuko Tanaka who is hosting.

There were quite a few winners of the Best Newcomer Award this year, including Yoshikawa Koji, Nomura Hironobu, Tomita Seiko. After a total of six winners came on stage to receive their awards, less important awards such as Best Art, Best Recording, and Best Lighting were presented.

Finally, it was the turn of "Kikujiro's Summer"!

"The winner of the Best Film Score Award is "summer" - "Kikujiro's Summer"!" When Tanaka Yuko read out the award, she had a bright smile on her face, "Congratulations, Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"

As the composer of this song, Naoki Nagayama had to go on stage and took the trophy from the presenter:

"Arigato~"

After standing still, he began his first acceptance speech of the show:

"Thank you to the Film Academy Award Jury for giving me this award. I have to thank the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra for their outstanding performance and Takeda Kazumori for his seriousness and responsibility, which made this song "summer" so perfect!"

Ido Shuichi in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Naoki Nagayama's acceptance speech this time was considered to be passed, not bad.

After Naoki Nagayama came down, he smiled and said, "Keep it up, Naoki-san!"

"."

The Best Supporting Actor and Actress award was not for "Kikujiro's Summer", but starting with the Best Actor award, the entire award ceremony began to focus on "Kikujiro's Summer"!

And starting with this award, the nominated films will begin to be interviewed!

"Takeshi Kitano-san, how did you get this movie?" asked the host Ken Ogata.

"At that time." Kitano Takeshi looked innocent, "Director Naoki Nagayama found me and suddenly said to me: 'Kitano Takeshi, I think you have the feeling of an old gangster, why don't you come to my side to play the role of an old gangster who has turned over a new leaf!'"

As expected of a manzai master, even the host Ken Ogata couldn't help laughing out loud when he said this:

"Haha, after hearing this, didn't Takeshi Kitano-san get angry?"

"I really wanted to get angry, but at that time it was in Naoki Nagayama's teahouse, and I was a little scared because I was surrounded by his people!" Kitano Takeshi continued to joke, "And Naoki Nagayama is young, tall, and muscular. I'm in my forties, what if I get beaten up!"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone else in the venue laughed, and even the director gave the camera to the innocent Naoki Nagayama in the audience

Is there any justice for someone who can't bear to hurt an ant on the street to be framed like this!

Also nominated were Hiroyuki Sanada for "The Tale of the Eight Dogs" and "Hot Blood School 2"; Kinya Kitaoji for "Kukai" and so on.

They all talked about the fun things during the filming process, or their performance comments, but none of them was more enthusiastic than Takeshi Kitano.

Of course, the Best Actor was easily won by Takeshi Kitano!

The next Best Screenwriter, Naoki Nagayama, naturally had to go up for an interview again, but this time it was Yuko Tanaka who asked the questions. This big sister, who was dressed in a decent kimono, smiled happily when she saw Naoki Nagayama:

"It is said that because of the script of this movie, Naoki-san made others think that it was reflecting his childhood, right? And it also affected his parents in his hometown?"

Sure enough, the show should play the familiar game, Yuko Tanaka knows too much! After saying it, the whispering in the venue instantly increased.

"."

Naoki Nagayama glared at her, but was easily avoided by this cunning big sister.

"Ahem. That's true."

"However, it is actually a false proposition that the stories created by screenwriters are a reflection of past experiences and life." Naoki Nagayama said, "Some creators are like this, but a large part is not. They rely on imagination (sexual fantasy)!

Otherwise, how could there be so many fantasy stories of marrying a rich and beautiful woman and reaching the peak of life, which are completely different from the author's life!"

"So. I clarify again. The father and mother in front of the TV and the neighbors in my hometown. "Kikujiro's Summer" really has nothing to do with my childhood!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, we know!"

Tanaka Yuko interrupted Naoki Nagayama's slightly excited words with a smile, and then continued to interview the next shortlisted winner.

But when it came to the final award ceremony, Tanaka Yuko looked at Naoki Nagayama:

"This year's Academy Award for Best Screenplay - Naoki Nagayama! "The Summer of Kikujiro"!"

Nagayama Naoki stood up, walked to the award-giving guests, bowed and took the certificate and trophy, and then began to say the award speech:

"I would like to thank the jury for giving me this award. I would also like to thank Otomo-san and Shuichi-san for their support so that this script can be filmed."

After giving an acceptance speech, he returned to the table and placed the trophy on the table.

"The second one~"

Next to him, Itou Shuichi said,

"Naoki-san, you just thanked the producers and the behind-the-scenes staff. Then it won't be the crew members next, right?"

"." Nagayama Naoki was speechless.

How come you know everything!

The grand and minor awards of the Film Academy Awards are usually awarded at intervals, so after Best Screenplay, Best Editing comes.

It's still "Kikujiro's Summer".

"Congratulations to "The Summer of Kikujiro" for using innovative editing techniques to express the content of the film."

Nagayama Naoki received the trophy:

"Thanks to the staff behind the scenes, including assistant directors Kyū Kijima, Koaki Sakata, and Mitsuomi Obara. Without them, I would not have been able to edit this movie."

"."

In the following award ceremony, Naoki Nagayama was very busy. He kept going on and off the stage. There were more trophies on the table one by one, as if he was restocking!

Host Ogata Fist:

"Congratulations to Naoki Nagayama for winning the Academy Awards - Special Award"

Nagayama Naoki received the trophy:

"Thank you Kitano Takeshi, Fujiki Naoto and other actors for their performances. Without them I would not have been able to make such a wonderful movie."

"."

Host Yuko Tanaka:

"Congratulations to Naoki Nagayama."

Nagayama Naoki received the trophy:

"Thank you. Without them, "Kikujiro's Summer" would not have achieved such an achievement."

"."

Host Ogata Fist:

"Congratulations to Naoki Nagayama."

Naoki Nagayama:

"grateful."

"."

There are a total of 16 awards in the Film Academy Awards. When there were only two major awards left, five of them had already been won by Naoki Nagayama!

Looking at the trophy on the table, Itou Shuichi sighed:

"Best Director, Best Film. I should only be able to win one! Naoki-san, when you go back later, do you want me to help move your things?"

".want!"

The two hosts on the stage continued the hosting process energetically. There was no need to go on stage for an interview for the Best Director Award. Tanaka Yuko looked at the award list in her hand, and her originally curved eyelids widened:

"The 8th Film Academy Awards, winner of the Best Director Award: Naoki Nagayama!!! "The Summer of Kikujiro"!!!"

Under the deserved attention of all the guests, Naoki Nagayama walked onto the stage again!

"Congratulations Naoki-san on winning the award!" Tanaka Yuko was also happy and surprised, and did a little interview, "Is it unexpected to win the Best Director Award this time?!"

"Haha, I kind of thought I wouldn't be chosen this year!"

"Congratulations again to Naoki-san, go and receive the award!"

Yuko Tanaka guided Naoki Nagayama to the podium. The person who presented him with the award this time was Tomoyuki Tanaka, the vice president of the Film Academy Awards Association. He handed over the trophy and certificate with a smile:

"Congratulations, Director Naoki!"

"Thank you." Nagayama Naoki came to the microphone again, "Thank you. Um."

Nagayama Naoki suddenly got stuck. He found that almost everyone who could thank him had already thanked him! ! !

Do you want to do it again? ! That would be too embarrassing.

The thoughts in my head were spinning. I couldn't think of anything good to say for a while, but it was a live broadcast. If I didn't say anything, I might be considered to be broadcasting the accident!

A few seconds passed by, and Nagayama Naoki saw that the camera lens had moved forward, and the host Yuko Tanaka next to him had already tightened his grip on the microphone.

Saying anything is better than saying nothing! Nagayama Naoki still opened his mouth.

"I've finished the award speech I prepared. I can't think of anything at the moment."

Nagayama Naoki scratched his face in embarrassment,

“Anyway, thank you everyone”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated. There were roars of laughter, surprises, and everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Nagayama Naoki on the stage all came out:

"Haha~" "Oh!" "This is really true."

"It is indeed Naoki-san!"

"Big news!"

"."

Itou Shuichi below was slapped on the forehead. He knew that Naoki-san was going to do something.

After getting off the stage in despair, Naoki Nagayama put the Best Director trophy on the table and looked at Itou Shuichi with a somewhat embarrassed look:

"Haha, I'm done. I didn't expect there would be so many prizes."

"Naoki-mulberry"

"Haha, it's the last one anyway~"

"."

Just a small episode, the awarding process of the 8th Academy Film Awards is naturally continuing, and the male host Ken Ogata is already preparing to announce the final winner.

"The shortlisted works for the Best Film Award include: "Summer of Kikujiro", "Funeral", "Setouchi Junior Baseball Team", "Station of Heaven" and "Sparrow"."

Ogata took a deep breath and opened the envelope.

"The ultimate award-winning movie."

His pupils were slightly dilated, as if he couldn't believe the results inside, but he raised his head and looked somewhere again:

"Best Film - "Kikujiro's Summer", Naoki Nagayama!"

"!!!" "Roar, roar~"

The venue was in an uproar. Some people who were expecting it kept clapping, some people looked stiff, some people thought that this award was well-deserved, and some people thought that the Academy Awards violated the unspoken rules!

"Is it me?" Naoki Nagayama also looked at Idou Shuichi in surprise, "What about the unspoken rules?"

"I don't know" Idou Shuichi shook his head, "But now is not the time to talk about these, Naoki-san, come on stage! Everyone is waiting!"

"!!!"

Naoki Nagayama had to stand up and walk towards the podium,

"But I have already finished my acceptance speech! There is no more!"

"."
