Chapter 946 955, I Have a Great Scholar to Debate for Me!
The Tokyo International Film Festival, which has been busy in Tokyo for more than half a month, is finally about to usher in the most important awards ceremony~
Because there will be banquets and parties after the award ceremony, the committee chose the InterContinental Hotel in Roppongi as the venue for the award ceremony, and the red carpet of the closing ceremony was naturally held here.
The light was a little dim as evening approached, but the high-power radiant lights made the red carpet area as bright as day.
"It always feels a little strange~" Naoki Nagayama said to Otomo Yoshimura next to him, "Generally speaking, the red carpet for the opening ceremony should be more popular. Why does it feel like there are more people on the red carpet for the closing ceremony now?"
He and Yoshimura Otomo stood at the door, looking at the guns and cannons in the media area and sighing. The clicking sound did not stop for a moment, and the flash lights were all over the city, almost catching up with the high-power lighting.
"Because of the continuous publicity during this period, the influence of the Tokyo International Film Festival has been much greater than when it first started!"
Yoshimura Otomo explained that since the opening ceremony, the foreign media and filmmakers from all over the world who came here have brought the lively scene of the Tokyo International Film Festival back to their home countries, attracting the attention of many people who don’t know much about neon. .
Music and movies have always been important channels for the country's influence. This grand international film festival has allowed many people to see the prosperity of Tokyo and the rapid development of neon movies, just like the Olympic Games.
Under the influence of such continuous fermentation, Neon's domestic media and foreign media who came here all gathered in the media area for the closing ceremony.
"This" Nagayama Naoki looked at an idol with a very childish face on the red carpet, "That... seems to have just debuted this year, right?"
"Hi!" Otomo Yoshimura recognized who it was at a glance, "It's Minako Honda, from Toshiba. She's very popular among young people~"
".Okay~"
Nagayama Naoki could only sigh silently in his heart. Today's idols are really coming out one after another! This must be a lot of pressure for the seniors.
"By the way, how is Kudo Shizuka doing lately?"
"Shizuka-chan's progress is going very smoothly. "I Want to Say I Love You Loud" is still very popular. I hope to win the Record Awards at the end of the year!" Yoshimura Otomo said with joy on his face.
"."
It seems to have created a strong competitor for Akina. What should I do? Wait online~
Thinking that his fiancée was still preparing to perform backstage, Naoki Nagayama shook his head, looked at the celebrities who were walking on the red carpet, and said to Otomo Yoshimura:
"Otomo-san, I'll leave this to you. I'll go see if the work behind the scenes is going well."
"Backstage? What's so interesting about the backstage isn't the person responsible for coordinating it?"
While he was still talking, Yoshimura Otomo had disappeared. He looked at Nagayama Naoki's left figure and thought of someone preparing in the background. He couldn't help complaining, "This guy is secretly watching his girlfriend. We've only been apart for a long time." That’s all”
"It's been two years, aren't you tired yet?!" He shook his head, turned around and continued to make friends with celebrities in the entertainment industry~
As a middle-aged and elderly man, Yoshimura Otomo has almost no interest in the opposite sex. At this time, fame and fortune are his pursuit~
Naoki Nagayama didn't have time to listen to an old man's thoughts, so he walked briskly towards the lounge.
In a specially designated small room, Akina Nakamori combed her hair together into a mature bun. She had already put on the black lace dress she was going to wear tonight, and also put on black gauze sleeves on her arms. The whole thing is dotted with silver sequins. When it moves, it looks like stars in the dark night~
"Naoki-san?!" Nakamori Akina was still applying lipstick in front of the mirror. She was very surprised when she saw Nagayama Naoki coming in. "Aren't you in front to welcome guests?"
"There's Otomo-san there~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'm here to inspect the entire event!"
"." I don't believe it~
Nakamori Akina did not expose her fiancé's lie, but put on silver chain earrings, tilted her head and asked Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki-san, do you think I look like a singer in a dance hall?"
"How can a singer be as good-looking as my Akina~" Nagayama Naoki blurted out the disgusting words without thinking. He held Akina's shoulders and admired it in the mirror, "You have to sing a new song today, are you nervous? Have you drank Nagashima ice tea?"
"No, I only drank a cup of oolong tea today!" Akina Nakamori said.
"Oh? Is it the kind of oolong tea that burns?"
Nagayama Naoki joked that he is well aware of Akina's habit of drinking a little strong liquor before going on stage. Mix 90% vodka and 10% whiskey to get a cup of oolong tea that can ignite!
"Just ordinary oolong tea!"
Akina said harshly that it is absolutely unacceptable for an idol to drink before going on stage!
"Haha, but today I happen to be singing this song in Roppongi, and the atmosphere is very suitable," Nagayama Naoki and Akina joked, "If possible, I really want to move the award ceremony to a dance hall."
"That's not serious at all!"
"Why are you so serious?"
While the two were talking, Ueda Maki hurried in and said before she could see clearly:
"Akina-chan, how are you preparing, Naoki-san!"
The little girl looked like she had broken up the adultery. She wanted to leave the lounge but felt it was inappropriate to do so.
"Naoki-san, why are you here?"
"Let me inspect the preparations backstage!" Naoki Nagayama patted Akina lightly on the shoulder, "It seems that there is no problem with the preparations for the performance."
"Pfft~"
Nakamori Akina couldn't help laughing and gave Nagayama Naoki a nice eye roll.
"Ahem~ Anyway," Nagayama Naoki walked towards the door, saying as he walked, "Keep going daddy!"
"Hi"
Maki Ueda relaxed when she saw Naoki Nagayama walking out, and quickly walked to the side of her artist,
"Akina-chan, why did Naoki-san come over suddenly?"
"Didn't I tell you, I'm inspecting the preparations backstage~" Nakamori Akina looked at the assistant and blinked, with a very serious expression~
"."
Ueda Maki is speechless, you two, please don't treat me as part of the play, please!
Now that he was at the backstage, Naoki Nagayama naturally couldn't just stroll around without doing anything. He still found the persons in charge of several modules and carefully inquired about the progress of the work.
However, the event support companies we found this time are all used to large-scale ceremonies, and each task was carried out step by step. Naoki Nagayama only made a routine inquiry~
As time went on, there were more and more people in the banquet hall, and the closing ceremony officially began!
The banquet hall full of spectators was still buzzing with discussions, but as the lights dimmed and the main stage was illuminated by spotlights, everyone knew that today's opening performance was about to begin~
Clang Clang Clang Clang
The strong beginning of the drum kit is followed by the free and easy and sultry saxophone
As the curtain opened, Nakamori Akina appeared in the center of the stage, dressed in a costume.
"
You’ve broken my heart
rainy highway
He ran out of the parking lot with his car in hand
"
Swaying her body, the sequins on her body flashed brightly and dimly, Nakamori Akina's whole body shone under the spotlight.
His deep voice was slightly hoarse, but at this time he seemed mature and charming.
"
Who are you?
Roppongi for lost people
The void in my heart is filled with tears
"
The rhythmic jazz style makes people can't help but clap their hands to the rhythm, and they can't wait to dance to this melody on the dance floor.
At this time, Akina is like the incarnation of Roppongi, extending an invitation to all those who come to Roppongi to have fun on the bright and bustling streets~
At this time, the fans in front of the TV were shocked and confused as they looked at the idol on the stage.
"When did Akina-chan come up with this song?" Yoshiaki Kosaka, as a senior fan of Akina Nakamori, can be said to be very familiar with her songs.
"I think I said it before on "The Best Ten", it's the next song~" The companion next to him explained a little, "I want to try a dance music style."
"Oh? I didn't watch that issue."
"But this song has a lot of feeling!"
"Yeah~"
Kosaka Yoshiaki nodded along with the melody while listening. Looking at the singing costumes on the stage that were completely different from before, a feeling suddenly arose in her heart:
"Akina-chan, it seems she is no longer the young and innocent female idol she was before."
Not only her appearance, but also her singing, costumes and dances have become more mature. She is no longer like the young girl who used flashy costumes and dances to attract attention.
Nowadays, Akina has grown into a powerful singer who can attract all audiences with her powerful singing voice, mature and stable singing skills and stage presence.
"Now Akina is a singer!" Kosaka Yoshiaki murmured.
After the song ended, there was warm applause, and the atmosphere of the entire venue seemed to be ignited. Everyone was cheering for Akina Nakamori's performance, and some even started an encore when Akina Nakamori came off the stage.
Then Masataka Komori and his partner Keiko Matsuzaka walked up.
"Mina-san, welcome to the Tokyo International Film Festival award ceremony~"
"Tonight, we will select the most creative and inspiring youth films among thousands of films."
On the stage, Komori Masataka's face was glowing, and Matsuzaka Keiko's face was also full of excitement. Hosting such a large-scale award ceremony will greatly improve their qualifications.
"Thank you to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for your strong support of this event. Now, I would like to invite the representative of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Section Chief Yasuko Ikebo, to give the closing speech."
Yasuko Ikebo, who was wearing a dignified women's suit, walked onto the stage and gave a speech with a gentle smile:
"The first Tokyo International Film Festival will let the world see neon film culture, which is what the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been looking forward to."
“The entire entertainment industry works together”
"Without everyone's support, this film festival would not be able to be successfully held. First of all, we would like to thank the initiator of this Tokyo International Film Festival - Mr. Naoki Nagayama."
The spotlight shone on Naoki Nagayama in the audience. He was suddenly cueed and had to stand up, turned around and bowed to the camera and the audience. Today's award ceremony was also broadcast live on TV!
"I would also like to thank Mr. Haruki Kadokawa of Kadokawa"
"Toho's" "Toei's"
They thanked each other one by one. Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo even thought that Yasuko Ikebo's speech was based on Naoki Nagayama's previous acceptance speech.
Fortunately, Ikebo Yasuko's speech was not too long. She thanked the entertainment industry for their concerted efforts and expressed her expectations for the Tokyo International Film Festival before she finished.
The award ceremony continued~
"Tonight Roppongi is really star-studded." Komori Masataka said to Matsuzaka Keiko.
The bright Matsuzaka Keiko immediately replied: "Yes. Movie stars from all over the world are here! They are all looking forward to this award ceremony."
"However, before the award ceremony, let's get to know the important figures of this award ceremony - Mr. Imamura Shohei, and the jury under his leadership. Without them, today's awards cannot be issued anyway!"
"Hi, please welcome the judges!"
Imamura Shohei, dressed in formal attire, came up with a dozen judges, bowed to everyone, and then sat in the exclusive seats for the judges.
"Next, please welcome today's award presenter, Director Shuichi Ido, to present us with the first grand prize of the Tokyo International Film Festival. The Best Screenplay Award!"
Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura looked at each other. He said why he didn't see Shuichi-san today. It turns out that he is here. He wants to present the award to me so much? !
This guy must have changed the order of the award presenters in private!
Shuichi Ido walked to the podium with a vigorous step, picked up the microphone and said with a smile:
"Mina-san is so lucky. The first grand prize of the main competition unit of the Tokyo International Film Festival will be presented by me."
"The candidate films for this award are"
The clips of the nominated films were played on the big screen, and a group of films rotated like a revolving lantern within a dozen seconds.
"The winner of this year's Best Editor Award is Naoki Nagayama, "Don't Stop the Camera"!!!" Shuichi Ido's eyes flashed with ridicule, and he opened the envelope and shouted in surprise.
The spotlight instantly focused on Naoki Nagayama's position, forcing him to stand up again and walk towards the stage.
"Shuichi-san, what are you doing?" Naoki Naoyama whispered as he bowed and shook hands with Idou Shuichi,
"Nothing. Take the first award of the Tokyo Film Festival from me!!! This will go down in history!"
"."
Idou Shuichi took the trophy for the Best Screenplay Award from the waiter, raised it above his head and showed it to the audience, then smiled and handed it to Naoki Naoyama: "Naoki-san, congratulations on the award!"
"Are you awesome!"
Naoki Naoyama didn't have time to care, and after taking the trophy, he was ready to start his acceptance speech.
"I am very honored to receive this award. At this moment, thousands of words are in my heart. All condensed into one sentence"
He took a deep breath, stared at the live camera, raised his index finger and said viciously like a line in a movie:
"Don't stop the camera!!!"
"The movie must keep shooting!!!"
The audience was silent for a moment, and no one reacted for a while.
Kobayashi Masaki was a little listless. He had experienced many award ceremonies. If it wasn't for Naoki Nagayama, he would probably still be chatting with his companions.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Naoki Nagayama say this, and suddenly laughed, immediately applauded, and said to the people next to him:
"Hahaha, it's Naoki-san! It's true that young people should be so interesting."
With a few sporadic applause, and then the applause quickly became a whole, the audience at the scene also applauded excitedly after reacting!
The applause came one after another, and everyone was amazed that Naoki Nagayama's amazing acceptance speech could be so relaxed and funny in such a serious occasion as the International Film Festival.
This should be the unconventional vigor of all young directors!
Is this the capacity of the first young director? !
Naoki Nagayama said this and waved his hand and walked off the stage. He didn't expect that his simple joke to avoid a lengthy speech would make other people think so much~
It can only be said that when your level reaches a certain level, every word, every action, and even every expression of yours will cause others to imagine and speculate.
So the emperors in ancient times had to keep their faces unchanged in front of outsiders, and high-ranking officials had to keep their expressions stable in front of the public. Even the traffic stars had to manage their expressions well for fear of causing unnecessary speculations from others.
However, there are certain advantages to reaching this level, that is, even if you act out of line, others will find a suitable reason for you
How did that sentence go?
There are great scholars who will debate for me!
I'm back. Keep typing~
Deeply understand this sentence, the stock market is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market!
