Chapter 861 869, News that Resounded Throughout Tokyo Late at Night!!!

When the news reached Tokyo, even though it was late at night, it broke out, making many people unable to sleep all night.

Yoshimura Otomo had been waiting for the results from Cannes today. After receiving the news, he immediately notified Watanabe Eiichiro, who was still working overtime, to start the publicity plan!

Although the morning editions of major newspapers have been printed, he has already communicated with the newspapers he is good at, and printed an extra page. The reports that have been prepared long ago must appear in the morning edition as soon as possible.

He walked out of the office excitedly and shouted at Watanabe Eiichiro's workstation:

"Eiichiro-kun, it's time to start!"

"Boom?" Watanabe Eiichiro's eyes lit up, and the fatigue of staying up late disappeared at once, "I'll do it right away!"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded, and was about to go back to the office when he saw the studio and other overtime employees, all of whom were the distribution staff of "Camera Don't Stop", looking over curiously.

So a smile appeared on his face: "Mina-san Naoki-san won this year's Palme d'Or!!!"

"Oh my god!" "Boom!!" "It's Naoki-san!" "Naoki-san is awesome!!!" "Sikuni-ichi!"

Instantly, everyone's emotions were ignited!

"Haha, this is a big happy event!" Yoshimura Otomo was excited, "Everyone who works overtime today, hurry up and finish your work, and go to Roppongi to stay up all night in half an hour! I'll treat you!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Everyone was in a happier mood! They came to work overtime mainly to keep an eye on the effect of the advertisement, the articles in the newspaper, the feedback from the cinema, the calls from fans, etc., and it's okay to put it aside for the time being.

Yoshimura Otomo returned to the office, paced constantly, rubbed his face, and started to make calls. Close friends, Shuyou's partners, and acquaintances at the TV station all had to be informed, and then they had to prepare for the celebration!

However, Naoki-san will notify his own relatives himself.

In addition to Naoki's friends, newspapers and magazines on call 24 hours a day, international channels that have been paying attention to foreign news, and people in the film industry who are interested in waiting until three or four in the morning, just to get the news as soon as possible.

The telephone lines are like spider silk, extending to every corner of the entertainment industry, and now the trembling silk threads are making the whole network begin to sway.

All the relevant nodes are conveying a message:

"Naoki Nagayama won the Palme d'Or!!!"

After receiving the news of the final result of Cannes, the huge entertainment industry, like an engine ignited, began to roar and run.

The ringing of the phone that resounded through Tokyo late at night was like the earliest alarm clock, waking up the still sleeping Tokyo in advance.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

A phone ring suddenly rang in the spacious top floor of the 80 Building.

Then, two pairs of eyes with green light quickly swam to the side of the phone, making the originally quiet space instantly terrifying~

The phone kept ringing, and finally with a click, the lights in the living room turned on. Akina Nakamori walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, looking at the living room and mumbling:

"Yingtaro, Meowtaro, don't you know to hang up the phone?! It's so late, who wants to disturb people!"

The dog next to the phone wagged its tail, and the cat looked bored and turned away.

Akina Nakamori looked at the phone that didn't mean to stop, and sighed. Since Naoki Nagayama made "Midnight Ring", people with a little bit of sense would not call at night!

"It's not a harassing call." Akina Nakamori picked up the microphone, "Moses, this is Nagayama's house"

"Akina-chan! I'm Hanami Kaku!" The voice of the president of the company came out of the microphone.

"Eh? President." Akina Nakamori suddenly became nervous. Generally speaking, if the president calls late at night, something big must have happened. "What happened?"

"It seems that Akina hasn't received the news yet!" The voice in the microphone was also a little excited, "Akina-chan, Naoki Nagayama won the Palme d'Or!!!"

".Oh~"

So that's what happened. Akina Nakamori rubbed her eyes and replied calmly. Isn't it natural for Naoki-san to win the award? Is it necessary to call me in the middle of the night? I still need to sleep!

"???" Hanami He was stunned. Such a big thing, there is only one Akina-chan, you?

I got the news in the middle of the night and called you as soon as possible!

The entertainment industry has gone crazy, you know? !

This is the only Palme d'Or won by a young director after World War II. Although Japan's economy developed rapidly after the war and entered the ranks of developed countries, the spirit and culture of the defeated country were broken.

It has won the Palme d'Or before, but the content is ancient, "Hell Gate", "Shadow Warrior", "The Ballad of Narayama". None of them are modern stories, and even the directors are old people. Everyone avoids talking about the post-war period.

And Naoki Nagayama's award represents the rise of a new generation! It is undoubtedly a boost to Neon's confidence!

So this news spread wildly in the entertainment industry, and it is said that even the prime minister and the royal family have received the news.

"Akidou Madai, why did the president inform me?" Nakamori Akina asked, "Naoki-san?"

"Um, I should still accept media interviews for now." Hanami Kaku knows a little about this award, "There will be a celebration party later. As the winner, I should be unable to get away for a while."

"Is that so, then, when can Naoki-san come back?"

"It's expected to take two or three days."

After hanging up the phone, Akina Nakamori was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized that her boyfriend had won the grand prize! ! ! Or an international award! It is a rare award in the film industry! ! !

"Naoki-san won the Palme d'Or!!!"

As if she had just woken up at this moment, Nakamori Akina felt as if her head suddenly became excited and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

There was a rush of emotions in my chest that made my eyes start to turn red and shed tears. For a moment, I just wanted to talk to other people.

"Yataro! Naoki-san won the Palme d'Or!" Akina Nakamori strangled the dog next to her, shaking the dog's tongue so hard that it almost twitched!

"Woof woof woof!" Tailang yelled randomly, as if asking for help.

But Nakamori Akina didn't understand at all. Sharing joy with a dog naturally didn't feel like any feedback. She only felt her heart pounding and her chest seemed to be bursting. If she didn't talk to other people, It's like it's about to explode!

After thinking about it, I finally couldn't help myself, picked up the phone and broadcast the number.

After quite a long wait.

"Ogasan!" Nakamori Akina shouted in surprise, "Naoki-san won the Palme d'Or!!!"

"."

Chieko was confused when she answered the phone after being woken up in the middle of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sunshine in late May was already a bit hot~

In a slightly hot mood, countless office workers hurriedly got up. Those who ordered newspapers took out today's morning paper from the newspaper box. More people hurried out and saw a newspaper on a newsstand on the road. If the front page is interesting, buy a copy.

The same goes for Kumagai Yoshihiro, an ordinary social worker. He only ate a rice ball in the morning and squeezed the subway towards the company. After finally walking out of the subway station, he saw a group of people surrounding the newsstand outside the station.

"What's wrong?"

Relying on his height, he looked inside and found a row of the latest issue of "Movie Weekly" hanging in the newsstand.

"Movie newsletter? Isn't it due date yet?"

Kumagai Yoshihiro naturally knows about Neon's most authoritative film magazine, and he usually buys it to read the latest news.

Today's cover has the words "Special Issue" written on it, and the cover picture shows Naoki Nagayama, Yuko Tanaka, Takeshi Kitano and others walking on the red carpet.

"Congratulations! Naoki Nagayama won the Palme d'Or!"

That’s what the cover story says!

"Naoki Nagayama won the Palme d'Or?!" Yoshihiro Kumagai was full of surprise and immediately bought a magazine. "This is amazing!"

There was no time to watch at this time. Yoshihiro Kumagai stuffed the magazine into his backpack and walked quickly towards the company building.

Soon he arrived at the office and slapped Noda Yoshihiro, who was sitting next to him, on the shoulder.

"Do you know? Nagayama Naoki"

"Hey, hey, hey, I won the Palme d'Or!"

Noda Yoshihiro turned around helplessly and raised the newspaper in his hand. There was an additional page in the "Yomiuri Shimbun". On it was the scene of Naoki Nagayama winning the award. He even wrote his acceptance speech. It was indeed a major newspaper. !

"Several people have told me this today!"

Yoshihiro Noda is a movie lover, so everyone naturally wanted to share the news with him, so his shoulder suffered today.

"I was originally very optimistic about "Kikujiro's Summer". I didn't expect that it would actually win the award!"

He happily turned over the additional pages and said to Kumagai Yoshihiro,

"And look at this guy Naoki Nagayama, his speech when he won the award was really bold! He said 'I did it'!"

“What a man who radiates light!”

"Yes, yes~"

"But I think it's better to be more modest when receiving such a big award."

"That makes sense~"

The two began to criticize the newspaper. Kumagai Yoshihiro also took out the special issue of the "Movie Weekend" and shared it with Noda Yoshihiro, completely unaware that this was at work.

In fact, no one else cares. With the development of the economy, this era can be said to be the happiest beginning for workers. You can make money by opening any company, you can make money by lying still, and you can make money by working for half a day every day. to a super high salary

The boss is smiling all over his face and his colleagues are kind-hearted. The environment and atmosphere of the company are really too relaxed.

After the Plaza Accord was signed, newly graduated college students all had the opportunity to go to Hawaii for vacation, they were able to get free transportation fees, and their bosses would treat guests to clubs all night after get off work. That was the golden age.

Moreover, at this time, almost everyone is discussing Naoki Nagayama winning the Palme d'Or.

Kumagai Yoshihiro talked for a while, flipped through Noda Yoshihiro's newspaper and suddenly said:

"Eh? By the way, I often saw discussions about "Don't Stop the Camera" and those negative comments. Why are they gone today?"

"It seems so. I don't think I have seen it today!"

"Ah, here is another complimentary report."

"."

Kumagai Yoshihiro said with a smile:

"Let's watch "Don't Stop the Camera" again tonight. Last time we watched it too fast and didn't see many details clearly."

"Okay! Let's go and see it again~" Yoshihiro Noda nodded immediately, and then said, ""Kikujiro's Summer" will definitely be re-screened in the future. It just so happens that summer is here, so I'll go and see it again!"

Sure enough, as the news of Naoki Nagayama winning the grand prize came, other newspapers all withdrew their criticism of "Don't Stop the Camera". What's the point? !

In the office of Shochiku, Masaki Kobayashi originally came to discuss the editing and subsequent publicity of "No Table House". Unexpectedly, after arriving at the headquarters, he found that everyone was discussing the Golden Palm.

"Kobayashi-san, did you know it a long time ago?" a colleague asked.

"How could it be so early? The final result was announced last night!" Kobayashi Masaki said with a smile. He was also the kind of person who was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, "But I have always had confidence in Naoki-san!"

"We have been in the film industry for so many years, but we have to lose to this young guy Naoki Nagayama."

"Haha, Naoki-san is a genius~" Masaki Kobayashi tried to smooth things over. He didn't want his friend of different ages to be isolated.

Not only Shochiku, but people from Toho, Toei and Nikkatsu were discussing the Golden Palm award this time. Kadokawa was no exception. It is said that Kadokawa Haruki has already started looking for someone to plan a celebration!

In the director's office at Toei headquarters, Takafumi Ogasawara held a cup of coffee with a frown on his face.

"Dong Dong~"

As the door of the office was pushed open, Director Toshitaka Yamamura walked in with his subordinate Toru Nakano:

"Director!"

"Yeah" Takafumi Ogasawara put down the coffee cup and rubbed the corners of his eyes. He was also the kind of person who was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, "Did you know about the Palme d'Or?"

"Hi~" Toshitaka Yamamura nodded, "I didn't expect that Naoki Nagayama really did it"

"." Takafumi Ogasawara looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Are you repeating his acceptance speech?"

"."

Toshitaka Yamamura didn't know what to say for a moment, and the office fell into silence. Toru Nakano was trembling with fear and didn't dare to speak.

After a few breaths, Takafumi Ogasawara spoke again:

"It was your assistant Toru Nakano who was responsible for spreading negative news about "Don't Stop the Camera" and promoting negative comments, right?"

"Hey, Nakano-kun is my confidant, and he personally carried out everything! But we commissioned anonymously, so we didn't leave any traces."

"Well, that's good," said Takafumi Ogasawara, "Nakano-kun, wrap things up, don't keep this in your heart, and don't reveal it!"

"Hey!"

"In short, don't go against Naoki Nagayama for a short time." Takafumi Ogasawara was a little unwilling. As a second-generation, he was so difficult.

"Is Naoki Nagayama so influential after he won the award?"

"I heard that he will be rewarded by the upper level." Takafumi Ogasawara sighed, "Everyone is optimistic about him"

The "everyone" here refers to the circle that holds real power. This kind of thing that boosts national confidence, in today's terms, is of great value in united front work and will be supported by the upper level.

"Anyway, just don't let anyone get any real evidence that Toei is suppressing Shuyou."

"Hey, we'll do it right away!"
