Chapter 932 941, the Film Festival Awards Are Too Few! !

Chapter 932 941, the film festival awards are too few. Plus!!

Dream Factory, the filming base in Ota District, has many crews coming and going. The whole park is very popular, and you can see stars and famous actors from time to time.

This filming base, which cost billions, is now very famous in the industry. With rich scenes and convenient support, many filming companies with less strength will come here to book filming sites for filming.

Even the urban area outside the factory has built many supporting services around filming, including hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, convenience stores, temporary actor introduction agencies, and cinemas, entertainment cities, KTVs, bars, and even some custom shops for entertainment, etc.

It has attracted many people from surrounding cities to come to work, and the economic data of Ota District has risen rapidly. The district government of Ota District is 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-fashioned impression of neon.

Of course, in the era of rapid development and bubble, everyone is pursuing to make more money, which is naturally different from the neon after losing thirty years~

"Naoki-san~"

Park director Ishikawa Katsuyoshi 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 found that this guy seemed to be much fatter than before, as if he had eaten a lot of oil.

"Recently. Have you not exercised much?!"

"Ah, this!" Ishikawa Katsuyoshi shrank his shoulders, "I've been busy recently, I've been in the park every day, and I don't have time"

"Then you still have to pay more attention to your body. If you eat too much and get too fat, there will be a series of problems!"

Naoki Nagayama's words are absolutely from the heart. From his previous experience, after getting fat, fatty liver, high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and all kinds of strange symptoms will appear.

But to Ishikawa Katsuyoshi, these words have another meaning.

"What does Naoki-san mean? Eating too much? Did you find out about my kickbacks?!"

"Will getting too fat cause problems?! This is a warning to me, this must be a warning to me!!"

"How could Kexiu send an auditor when he only took 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

A lot of money is sent to him just by asking for it, and there are even some pillow business. It's just that Ishikawa Katsuyoshi has not been completely corrupted

In fact, the business of the shooting base in Ota District is too good, and the company's own "101 Marriage Proposals" is also being filmed. 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 gave Ishikawa Katsuyoshi an assistant.

Ishikawa Katsuyoshi is mainly responsible for the business, so the assistant is naturally responsible for financial matters. This is the routine operation of mature companies to prevent branches from getting out of control.

Just like Shuyou Capital, although it has Nakai Yuanta, its absolute confidant, the financial staff are still sent from Shuyou headquarters! The same goes for discotheques, KTVs, agencies, etc.

But Ishikawa Katsuyoshi doesn't think so. He is not a confidant, and he is indeed a little greedy. He sent someone to manage the finances the day before yesterday, and today Naoki Nagayama came to warn him in person

"I didn't expect that Naoki Nagayama is so scheming at such a young age! No wonder he can make so much money!"

He complained in his heart, but his face was full of sincere smiles:

"Hey, I will definitely take time to exercise!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded and walked inside: "Yeah, keeping healthy is the most important thing. Life is only a hundred years, and in the end, health is still important!"

"Why are you here today, Naoki-san?"

"I mainly came to see if the filming of "101 Marriage Proposals" went smoothly." Naoki Nagayama said, "By the way, book the movie venue here in advance!"

"I see, I'll take you there now."

Ishikawa Katsuyoshi diligently led his own president on the way. No matter what, it is absolutely right to serve his own boss first.

Kyon Kimura's "101 Marriage Proposals" has just started not long ago, and he is not too anxious. He just repeatedly polishes some scenes to let the crew get used to each other first. This is what he learned from Naoki Nagayama~

"Other extras, eat as usual, speak quietly. The hero and heroine, remember that this is your first blind date, be reserved and polite."

In the indoor scene of the restaurant, Kyon Kimura gave a warning to the hero and heroine who were on a blind date,

"Ready. Action!"

Hitomi Kuroki (Kaoru Yabuki), with her hair loose and wearing a kimono, sat straight across the table, while opposite her was Toshiyuki Nishida (Tatsuro Hoshino), who was wearing a slightly ill-fitting suit and was very nervous.

The two who played the heroine's sister and the hero's sister livened up the atmosphere next to them.

"Miss Kaoru, 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.

"It's my first time to go on a blind date, so I'm a little nervous." The sister explained.

"Hoshino-san looks very calm~" Yabuki Kaoru tried to find a topic.

"Ha~" In front of the great beauty in front of him, Hoshino Tatsuro seemed to have found something worth showing off, "Actually, I have come here 100 times!"

"!!!" The brother next to him almost spit out the food in his mouth and immediately explained, "The second time, it's his second time."

The two people opposite thought they were just telling jokes, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot, so they continued chatting:

"Mr. Hoshino, what is your age this year?"

"28!"

"!!!" The younger brother explained again, "Haha, he is actually 42~"

"So you're not married yet?"

Kaoru Yabuki interrupted with a smile: "Qiane, it's rude to ask this. Can you tell by just looking at it?"

"."Who is rude? !

The scene fell into an awkward silence. Kaoru Yabuki also realized that he had said something wrong and quickly made up for it:

"You can tell at a glance that he must be concentrating on working hard and not having much chance to meet girls."

"Ah hahaha, that's what happened!!"

The atmosphere at the scene instantly changed back to lively and gentle.

"."

"Why isn't Miss Xun married?"

"."

"Everyone must have seen that Miss Xun is like a flower on the high mountain, so no one dared to pursue her!"

"Hahaha~"

Kyū Kijima was watching the scene behind the camera, silently evaluating the performance of the actors in the scene. Toshiyuki Nishida is indeed an experienced actor, and he performed that awkward and reserved attitude very well. Kuroki The pupils are a bit squinting, maybe because of the stage play.

The two supporting characters surprisingly clicked together, and they acted very relaxedly, but they were still a bit poor at cooperating with the others.

"CUT!"

When the filming of this scene was completed, Kijima Kyor shouted,

"Nishida-san, your performance is very good, but there are some deficiencies in your cooperation with your brother. Hitomi-chan, relax a little, you sit too straight."

After talking about the crew's performance, Kijima Xu shouted to the stage manager:

"Props team, change the crab! Another one!"

Seeing that filming was taking place, Naoki Nagayama did not step forward and quietly stood behind the crew to watch for a while.

Kijima Kyon is now able to command the crew with ease, and the communication with the actors during filming is also very smooth. In fact, the one just mentioned is actually enough, but Naoki Nagayama can see that Kijima Kyon is polishing the crew and actors. cooperation between

"You are already a mature director!"

Naoki Nagayama sighed and decided not to disturb him. Otherwise, the crew, led by Kyon Kijima, might have to re-establish its backbone.

"Ishikawa-kun, let's go~"

"Eh? Naoki-san, aren't you going to meet Kijima-kun?" Ishikawa Katsura was a little surprised.

"I'm not going." Naoki Nagayama didn't explain anything and silently left the set. Then he said to Ishikawa Katsura, "Ishikawa-kun, take me to see the antique set area!"

"Hi!"

Ishikawa Katsura took Nagayama Naoki towards another area of ​​the park.

"Hayato: New World" took place more than 30 years ago. At that time, there were many high-rise buildings in the core area of ​​Tokyo, but other places were not like today, with low buildings, tangled wires everywhere, and even some shantytowns. Those places where the real bottom lives.

At the filming base, a quite large area was specially built. Nagayama Naoki walked around the set and was very satisfied.

"Neon is not like the Kowloon Walled City. If there was, it would really look like a gangster when photographed."

In such a complicated and narrow neighborhood, the chase scenes and fight scenes will be exciting.

"Ishikawa-kun, please help me renovate the scene here during this time," Nagayama Naoki said to Ishikawa Katsura who was always beside him, "Prepare some clothes from 30 years ago. Then give me some at the extras agency. Recruitment inspiration. We need some fierce-looking male actors to play the role of extreme elements."

"Hey, I got it!"

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama returned to the Tree Friends Building.

"Otomo-san~"

"Naoki-san, everyone is here!"

After Yoshimura Otomo saw Nagayama Naoki, he took him directly into the conference room. There were very familiar faces inside, all of whom were members of the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee.

"Mina-san, good afternoon~" Nagayama Naoki greeted everyone with a relaxed expression, "I have called everyone here today. Actually, there is only one thing. The opening date of the Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching. Let's make a final confirmation. The final flow of the event.”

In fact, large-scale events are constantly changing until the last minute, and it is not uncommon for the Red and White Song Festival to change its program at the last minute.

"I will give the opening speech at the opening ceremony."

Nagayama Naoki announced this directly without giving everyone any room to continue the discussion. By the way, he settled some points that have been still being debated.

"The opening movie is "Haijie Diary"."

"The opening ceremony will be broadcast jointly by the five major TV stations"

"Guest presenter of the award"

"."

As the initiator, organizer and organizer of the Tokyo International Film Festival, Shuyou does have a great say in this event, but if the Tokyo International Film Festival is to exert its due influence, it needs other parties. Party cooperation.

Therefore, in terms of broadcast rights, media interviews, award guests, exhibition venues, and promoted movies, Naoki Nagayama made a lot of concessions to major TV stations, established production companies such as Toho Toei, and official representatives.

Except for the opening words and the opening movie, Shuyou Films' exposure in other aspects is the lowest among all parties.

"Mr. Naoki Nagayama."

Toho's Minister Nakano Chizui expressed his opinion after Naoki Nagayama's speech,

"Toho has no opinion on other aspects, but on the film awards."

Naoki Nagayama and Idou Shuichi looked at each other. Are they going to interfere with the awards?

This is the most important area of ​​the Tokyo Film Festival. If the awards are not objective and have no authority, then this film festival will not be able to continue from the beginning.

"The selection of awards has been handed over to the jury. Toho should also have judges involved, right? Doesn't Minister Nakano trust 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. This point cannot be admitted. "It's just that we think that there are too few awards in the main competition unit!"

Currently, there are only six awards in the main competition unit, including the Film Festival Grand Prize, the Jury Grand Prize, the Best Director Award, the Best Actor Award, the Best Actress Award, and the Ozu Memorial Award. It is indeed a bit too little, not even a fraction of the Blue Ribbon Award.

"What does Minister Nakano mean?"

"I want 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. The Critics Special Award is used to encourage films that have caused controversy in the film industry."

"There are also Artistic Contribution Awards and Special Achievement Awards to praise people who have made outstanding contributions to film art."

When Naoki Nagayama heard the names of these awards, he instantly understood that these awards were not judged based on the quality of the film itself, but were given using words such as encouragement and contribution.

In fact, it is just a quiz within the film industry!!!

Generally speaking, there will definitely be no such awards in the first selection of various films. Because the selection itself may not have any authority or popularity, and those senior bosses may not necessarily look down on it.

This time, the Tokyo International Film Festival seems to be very promising to those bosses!

Originally, Naoki Nagayama thought that it would be the second or third film festival before these people would ask for such awards!

"I see. So how are the winners of these awards chosen?" Naoki Nagayama nodded, looked around 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 Naoki Nagayama did not object. "As long as Naoki-san does not object, our preparatory committee can vote on their own. Anyway, representatives from the film industry such as Toho, Toei, Shochiku, and Kadokawa are all here."

"Well, that's fine~"

It's just printing a certificate and giving an award. It's not the main competition unit, so Naoki Nagayama did not object.

He looked at Shuichi Itou:

"Shuichi-san, you will host this matter. There doesn't have to be too many awards~"

"Me?" Shuichi Itou was surprised for a moment, then he understood it instantly and nodded immediately. "Hey, I will host it!"

Behind Shuichi Itou is the Tokyo Academy of Arts. The academy is also a large faction in the film industry. They must also have the need for such honorary awards!

This matter is left to them to compete with each other. Naoki Nagayama now mainly wants the Tokyo International Film Festival to be held well.

Other things can be put aside.

After this small incident, the meeting continued, about the film screenings in various venues, where to register if other films are exported or imported, etc.

The sun outside is very bright. Near Yoyogi Park, posters of the film festival can be seen everywhere, and flags are fluttering in the wind. The footsteps of the Tokyo International Film Festival are approaching step by step~
