Chapter 866 875, Let Filmmakers From All over the World Come to Tokyo! !

This is not the first time Naoki Nagayama has spoken in front of people, but when he stood in front of everyone again, some people's crazy hearts jumped again~

"Mina-san~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I am a man of my word!"

Taking a deep breath, Nagayama Naoki said the most pretentious words in the calmest tone:

"So, I got the Palme d'Or back!"

With a roar, everyone who came to the celebration banquet today burst into laughter, especially the young people who couldn't help but applaud. Yongshan Feng even whistled.

Someone has written a book called "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", which analyzes the traditional culture and universal psychology of Neon people. Neon's extreme traditional morality makes Neon people pursue duty, forbearance and stability, and they are often at a disadvantage in life. A state of high tension.

But wherever there is oppression, there will definitely be resistance. This makes Neon people very accepting of young people's inferiority, jealousy, rebellion, etc., and they are even more tolerant of some people who are different from ordinary people.

So now what Naoki Nagayama said on the stage even made everyone feel like this is what a genius should be.

However, just scratching the surface will be enough. Nagayama Naoki pressed his arm to cool down the mood at the scene:

"Thank you so much for coming to celebrate me today."

"As I said in my acceptance speech, movies are a place where dreams come true. I am honored to be able to create some content of my own in this place."

"I couldn't have gone all this way without the help of all my friends. Unknowingly, I owe a lot of favors."

"."

Returning to his serious posture, Nagayama Naoki's speech was still very good.

In the 1960 U.S. presidential election, Kennedy had outstanding appearance, relaxed arms, talked in front of the camera, and won the election with perfect body language. From that time on, speech changed from a language art to a comprehensive presentation technique.

In his previous life, Nagayama Naoki had been giving lectures since high school. He practiced topic speeches in college, used PPT to impress his boss after work, and gave year-end presentations at annual meetings with thousands of people.

I have already practiced it so well that I can continue speaking even without preparing an outline in advance, not to mention that I have prepared a speech this time.

Let’s start from the first movie, the interesting things during the filming, the hardships during the filming, the joy of the box office success, the joy of the box office success, the joy of the box office success

The smiles on the faces of the directors and producers in the audience turned from knowing smiles to stiff.

"I went to the Oscars again before, and then to the Cannes Film Festival this time. Film lovers from all over the world gathered together." Naoki Nagayama paused and sighed, "It's really eye-opening."

Finally getting to the point, he raised his head and slowly glanced at the industry leaders present:

"At that time, I was thinking, how great would it be if Tokyo could have such a grand event?!"

“After communicating with some friends, I discovered that Tokyo already has the conditions to host a film festival.”

Naoki Nagayama looked at Masaki Kobayashi and other friends in the audience with a smile, and continued,

"Tokyo has world-famous directors, a mature film industry system, superior geographical conditions, an open film environment, an attitude towards film that encourages innovation, and countless people who are willing to invest in the film industry."

Seeing that his conversation had attracted everyone's interest, Naoki Nagayama finally revealed what he had discussed with Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Itou, Masaki Kobayashi, Haruki Kadokawa and other friends and producers in the film industry.

"So Shuyu and Kadokawa decided to be the initiators and call on colleagues in the Tokyo film industry to plan and organize an event called the 'Tokyo International Film Festival'!!!"

Nagayama Naoki said firmly:

"The Tokyo Film Festival will promote cutting-edge films and promote film development as its main purpose, and introduce neon films to the world. In addition, as the initiator, Shuyou has decided to use 10% of the box office of "Don't Stop the Camera" as a Tokyo Film Festival award bonus."

“Let the Tokyo International Film Festival become a world-famous event like the Cannes International Film Festival!!!”

“Let filmmakers from all over the world come to Tokyo!!!”

Among the guests in the audience, some have already heard Nagayama Naoki's ideas, some have even participated, and some are hearing it for the first time. These people are extremely surprised at this time.

Even the director of Fuji TV, Kazuki Takano, who was broadcasting live, was full of surprise at this time~

Naoki Nagayama on the stage finally said:

"This is just a private appeal. A Tokyo Film Festival Preparatory Committee will be formed later to be officially responsible for the planning and preparation of this event. If you are interested, you can chat together later~"

"Now, please continue to enjoy today's performance."

Amidst the applause, Nagayama Naoki walked off the stage, and then the host continued to warm up, preparing to invite the next band to perform.

But at this time, almost all the guests present were not in the mood to watch the performance.

Some of them went directly to the relevant people to learn the details. For those who didn't know them, they went directly to the tree friends' Otomo Yoshimura and Itou Xiuyi, who couldn't say anything. They even went to the on-site tree friends staff to ask.

Naturally, Nagayama Naoki was not spared. He was talking to Nagayama Kaede and was invited to other tables by people from several TV stations.

"Naoki-san, you didn't even tell us about such a big thing?!"

Director Kazuki Takano of Fuji TV said with an expression that seemed dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes!" Director Yosuke Nakano of TV Asahi also echoed, "It suddenly shocked us!"

"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, "Because it's just a personal idea, so I only discussed it with my friends in the film industry. In fact, it can only be regarded as a small fight."

"How can the Tokyo International Film Festival be just a small thing!" Kotaro Sakai of TV Tokyo interjected, "It is still launched in the name of Shuyu and Kadokawa. This is indeed a big action!"

He lowered his voice a little: "Naoki-san, tell me, who have already joined in?"

It was an aboveboard matter, and Nagayama Naoki did not hide it:

"Currently, Shuyu, Kadokawa, Tokyo Film Journalists Association, Tokyo University of the Arts, and people from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and Shochiku are also interested in participating. They have also taken the path of the International Film Producers Association."

"Even the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Education?"

Nagayama Naoki nodded. In fact, Shuyou had a connection with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology when he was working on "Kanji of the Year". The department that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is willing to participate in is called the Neon Image Promotion Association, which is dedicated to encouraging the film industry to go global, and The planning of this film festival was a hit-and-miss affair.

The Palme d'Or award was actually partly supported by them.

After hearing this, several TV station ministers began to think silently. Now the possibility of holding the Tokyo International Film Festival is much higher.

"When is the Naoki-san Film Festival planned to be held?" Takano Kazuki asked.

"We haven't set a time yet~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "But it is expected that at the end of the year, we will be reviewing movies after all. But it will not be postponed to the beginning of the year, otherwise it will conflict with the film Blue Ribbon, Film Academy Awards, etc. Well~"

"Yeah, yes!" "That's right~"

The directors of several TV stations agreed very much. After all, these awards are all established film selections~

"So, there's still half a year left!"

"Yes. There is plenty of preparation time," Nagayama Naoki said with a self-deprecating smile, "After all, at the beginning, we only planned to have a small film festival. If the popularity is too weak, maybe it will be this time! "

"Hahaha, impossible!" "Naoki-san is joking!"

Everyone shook their heads. This kind of thing can't happen. Not to mention Naoki Nagayama's current reputation and the thoughts of other participants, just relying on 10% of the box office of "Don't Stop the Camera" would be almost 200 million!

Such a large prize pool, even if divided into several prizes, will arouse everyone's interest!

The square band on the stage sang enthusiastically and unrestrainedly. If it were any other concert, the fans would be applauding and cheering in the audience.

However, at today's celebration party, there was only a handful of applause. Everyone was whispering to each other, and the focus was obviously not on the performance~

"Otomo-san, why didn't you invite us?!"

"Shuichi-san. Don't you think of us as friends?!"

"President Kadokawa Haruki. How could we miss such a thing?"

Everyone who has a close relationship with the Tokyo International Film Festival was pestered by the guests present. Most were asking about the specifics of the project. Some businessmen also asked whether it was profitable, and some were asking about ways to join.

In addition to Kadokawa and Shochiku, Toho, Toei, Nikkatsu and other large and small film studios were also present.

However, the people who came were not high-level people who could make a single decision. Some only sent middle-level managers or representatives to express their congratulations.

None of them expected that Nagayama Naoki would actually announce this matter at the celebration party. At this time, they were in a hurry to leave early to report to other higher-level people!

Among those discussing, the young directors and actors were the most excited.

The main purpose is to promote cutting-edge films and promote film development. In addition, Naoki Nagayama specifically mentioned using the box office of "The Camera Don't Stop" as a bonus. From this, we can see the direction of the Tokyo Film Festival!

Obviously, it is to encourage emerging directors to explore avant-garde film art. If those actors are excited, they will naturally have more opportunities to star in movies~

The following celebrations will include comments from the cast members of "Kikujiro's Summer" and on-site interactive activities.

Even Nagayama Naoki's father and mother were invited to the stage once by the host and asked Nagayama Naoki to take a photo with them.

However, these were all sideshows. The focus of the entire celebration was taken away by the concept of the Tokyo International Film Festival proposed by Naoki Nagayama~

"Father, mother." Naoki Nagayama watched Ken Nagayama drink two glasses of wine after he stepped off the stage, and asked quickly, "Is everything okay?"

Mother Nanako patted her husband on the back and whispered:

"Your father is a little nervous even in front of regular customers in an izakaya. This time he is standing in front of hundreds of people, so he is naturally even more nervous!"

"No! I'm fine!"

Yongshan Jian argued forcefully, causing the elder brother and Tsuruko on the table to laugh silently, and even the weeds laughed happily.

"I'm going to toast with the guests later." Nagayama Naoki shook his head and said to his relatives at the table, "Looking at the situation, it's probably a bit late to drink. If everyone has finished eating, go back to the suite. have a rest."

"Ah, that's right~" Nagayama Naoki patted Tsuruko, "You can also go out to play, let Tsuruko take you."

"Oumai!" Tsuruko slapped his brother's hand away in displeasure, "Where's my photo?!"

"I'll give it to you later! Haha~"

After greeting Brother Feng and Akina's mother, Naoki Nagayama went to other tables with his glass of wine.

After the performance at today's celebration party, there will be a party. Judging from everyone's enthusiasm today, we may have to go to the next show with a few people who are interested. It may be all night~

Chieko Nakamori, who was sitting next to her, patted her daughter's hand:

"Akina, don't you need to help entertain?"

"No~" Akina Nakamori shook her head, "Naoki-san asked me to stay with my family here"

"Naoki-san is really reliable"

Chieko nodded very approvingly. When she was young, she had been in and out of entertainment venues and served as a hostess. She knew that some rich and powerful people sometimes like to bring celebrities or beautiful girls around to show off that they are glad that their daughter has found a good future son-in-law.

Although it would be very face-saving for a celebrity to help toast and entertain, Naoki Nagayama didn't want his girlfriend to be a vase. Drinking and other things in the future were originally men's business.

Akina Nakamori also nodded happily, watching her boyfriend drinking and chatting with a group of people from a distance.

She was a little worried about what to do if he drank too much at night.

Although Naoki Nagayama has a good alcohol tolerance, he is not the kind of person who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

"When you go back at night, cook some hangover soup."

Akina Nakamori turned around and asked her mother how to cook a stronger hangover soup.

At the same time, the machine that had been broadcasting silently had already shown the screen of Naoki Nagayama speaking to many people who were watching in front of the TV.

In addition to smiling knowingly at the beginning of the speech, everyone was also very shocked when the declaration came out later.

Toei's Toshitaka Yamamura was very concerned about Naoki Nagayama. Although he was not present, he still watched the broadcast throughout. When the screen turned into a performance, he was shocked and silently took out a cigarette and smoked it.

"Has this guy Naoki Nagayama actually wanted to plan an event of this level?"

"Oh no, does he think of himself as the representative of the Tokyo film industry?!"

"Then what are our Toei, Toho, and the old film companies!!!"

After finishing a cigarette, Yamamura Toshitaka finally calmed down, and he thought silently.

Since Naoki Nagayama has announced this plan in public, there are only two choices for others, either to join and successfully hold this event under the leadership of Shuyou and Kadokawa, or not to participate and wait and see them hold this event.

Yamamura Toshitaka didn't even think about the situation where the Tokyo International Film Festival could not be held. After all, with the current power of Shuyou and Kadokawa, it's just a film festival, and it will be held no matter what. It's just a difference in influence.

"No." Yamamura Toshitaka put out his cigarette, "We Toei can't stay out of it."

Whether it succeeds or not, as long as Shuyou and Kadokawa are the leaders, if you want to hold a similar film festival in Tokyo in the future, you can't skip these two companies!

Obviously, these two young film production companies will surpass the old brands such as Toei and Toho in terms of reputation!

This is a battle for who is the mainstream and who is the tributary in the film industry!

Yamamura Toshitaka picked up the microphone and quickly started dialing!

As the busy tone ended, the call was picked up.

"Moshi Moshi, this is Yamamura Toshitaka. Director, I want to report a situation to you."

"."

Similar calls continued to ring in other places~
