Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 252 250. The second Showa beauty I met

There are no cherry blossoms or snowflakes in Tokyo in October, which cannot satisfy most foreign tourists’ imagination of Tokyo.

However, the high autumn weather in Tokyo also has a unique flavor. Although it is not romantic, it still has a unique tranquility.

Chen Li'an looked at the scenery along the way and suddenly wanted to come again in winter to see if the so-called snow in Hokkaido is so romantic.

Chinese people have somewhat contradictory feelings about Japan. One is based on hatred of the war, and the other is based on curiosity aroused by Japanese literary and artistic works.

Japan is very careful in promoting its own culture, promoting its own culture through songs, movies, comics, and literature.

There are few countries that can compare with them on this point, but I have to say that they did a good job. At least many Chinese people later admired Japanese culture very much.

Chen Li'an was not in this group, but he was still very curious about some unique cultures. For example, a custom shop he just passed by looked very good.

Speaking of customs industry, South Korea next door seems to be more powerful than Japan, but most people don’t know much about it. The water of the Han River has the magical effect of aphrodisiac there. I don’t know how many little blue pills Korean men have to eat in a year to reach this point and pollute a big river.

"What are you thinking about? Aren't you Nandao nervous?" Yasuko Tomita grabbed Chen Li'an's hand and asked in half-baked Chinese.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Tomita Yasuko, and found that she was a little nervous, so he took the initiative to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, I have no chance anyway."

Tomita Yasuko: "." You are so open-minded! But can you speak Chinese? I want to practice my disobedient tongue!

Forget it, let's practice again at night, since we can't run away at night anyway.

"Then there is no hope for me?" Yasuko Tomita asked worriedly.

"Of course not. You are more hopeful than me and your acting is better than mine."

This is what Chen Li'an said from the bottom of his heart. In Christ in Nanjing, Yasuko Tomita's role is more outstanding and more fitting of Yasuko Tomita herself.

If Chen Li'an achieved 99%, then Yasuko Tomita achieved 200%. This has nothing to do with acting skills. Yasuko Tomita really regarded herself as a golden flower.

As someone said, every actor will meet his or her natal role, and Jinhua is Yasuko Tomita’s natal role.

Chen Li'an flipped through the film festival brochure in his hand and said, "And there is only one Japanese film shortlisted this year. As the host, we will definitely consider awarding you or another film."

Such words did not sound pleasant, as if the award was given because of human sophistication, but Yasuko Tomita did not have any displeasure. Winning the award was the most important thing, and how he got it was not important at all.

The car soon arrived at the film festival venue. Chen Li'an took a look through the car window. The layout was much better than that of Venice, but it was not as lively as Venice.

The scope of the Tokyo Film Festival is still too small, and it has not been established for a long time. Many well-known filmmakers from European and American countries will not participate. Except for Asian filmmakers, most of them are Eastern European filmmakers.

This year’s jury is not very powerful, with a total of four judges.

Rebecca De Mornay, an American actress, is an actress that most people may have never heard of.

Christopher Hampton, a British screenwriter, won an Oscar for Best Screenplay.

A Japanese art director, Yoshinobu Nishioka, has won many Japan Film Academy Awards for Best Art.

Tian Cangchang, a director from China, should be familiar to most people.

The jury consists of four judges, from four countries and different professions, with an international and professional attitude here.

However, from the jury composed of four people, it can be seen that there are not many films that have applied to participate in the film festival. After all, the influence has not yet been established, and it is only the ninth edition.

But compared to the three gold medals, it is still better. At least it is not a local film award that is exclusive and cute.

After all, the Tokyo Film Festival is also one of the fourteen international film festivals, which is slightly better than the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Although there are not many judges at the film festival, they encounter no less troubles than major film festivals. The four people have very different opinions on certain awards.

Tian Cangcang looks like an old man squatting at the entrance of the village chatting with you, but the light in his eyes is very bright.

"For Best Actress, I still vote for Hildegon Lisse and Marie Theisson."

After Tian Chongbang finished speaking, he wanted to reach for the cigarette, but after taking a look at Rebecca, he gave up. He turned to Nishioka Yoshinobu, who had a different opinion with him, and said: "Although Tomita Yasuko acted very well, the character lacked depth. The movie itself doesn’t have a deep theme.”

Rebecca, who had never expressed an opinion, frowned after hearing this and said: "What we are discussing is that the best actress is not the best movie. I think it should be judged by the actor's performance."

"That's right, I think Yasuko Tomita's performance is very good!" Nishioka Yoshinobu immediately answered. The previous awards have basically been decided, but Japan has not won any awards, although The Christ of Nanjing is not a Japanese film. , but it’s enough that the actor is a Japanese actor.

Nishioka Yoshinobu is not blindly partial to local movies or actors, but he really feels that Yasuko Tomita’s performance is very good, and she is completely capable of winning the Best Actress.

If this is the case, then why not support local movies, just like Tian Chongchang strongly recommends Face Changing.

On the premise of not violating the professional ethics of the judges, why can't we recommend excellent films from our own country?

Three of the four judges have now expressed their opinions. The last one, Christopher, did not speak. He smiled and said: "It's still early, isn't it? Maybe we can discuss it further."

The film festival lasted for seven days. There was really no rush to finalize the list today. Several people looked at each other and nodded at the same time, and then decided on the less controversial awards first.

Nishioka, a devotee, glanced at several people and spoke first: "For the best artistic contribution award, I would like to give Nanjing's Christ and Liang Kuan."

These two films contain the highest number of "Japanese" characters. One of Nishioka Yoshinobu stars a Japanese actor, and the other is a Japanese film. It is also the only film shortlisted this time.

Nishioka Yoshinobu is an art director, and he has a relatively high say in the Best Artistic Contribution Award, so he will naturally recommend his favorite movies.

"I propose to remove the Christ in Nanjing and replace it with the Girl Weaving Love. Although the performance of Christ in Nanjing is very exciting, its artistic contribution is not as good as the Girl Weaving Love." Christopher looked at the Nishioka devotee apologetically, and then looked at Rebecca .

Rebecca hesitated and said: "I also propose to compile the work of The Girl in Love. Although it is not a work in the main competition unit, it is indeed excellent."

Nishioka Zenshin understood what Christopher meant and agreed after a little hesitation.

However, Tian Chuangchang came out to play devil's advocate again and said: "The two works are a bit inappropriate. I suggest that only the girl who compiled the love story be retained."

Tian Chongchuang understood very clearly that Yasuko Tomita’s Best Actress award could not be changed, so there was no need to add another local Japanese movie to show off for the sake of the host.

In his opinion, Liang Kuan's film is not enough to win the Best Artistic Contribution Award.

Double-yolked egg awards are often designed to cater for multiple reactions, with pitifully little gold content, and will also make the outside world question the fairness of the film festival.

Tian Chongbang's proposal immediately won the support of Christopher. After thinking about it for a while, Rebecca felt that Liang Kuan was indeed not qualified enough, so she raised her hand and agreed.

After all, if you want to be a judge at a film festival, you naturally have to take into account the outside world's evaluation of you, otherwise you will not be able to survive in the future.

Nishioka Yoshinobu frowned and thought for a while before nodding in agreement. After all, the organizer only asked him to compete for an award. Now that the best actress has fallen into the bag, he should take a step back.

Otherwise, Tian Chongchang and Christopher would not agree so easily, and in the end they would definitely have to ask the chairman of the film festival to mediate.

Serge Silberman is the chairman of this year's film festival, and he is not an easy talker. If he gets involved, there will probably be more variables.

But before that, Yoshinobu Nishioka needs to decide on the best actress.

"Now let's discuss the best actress." Nishioka Yoshinobu looked at them and said, "Do you have any objections to Tomita Yasuko?"

Tian Chongbang and the other three looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"agree."

"no comment."

"That's it."

In this closed conference room, a few people just decided on the winners of several awards. It seemed fair but actually there were a lot of tricks in it.

Fairness and justice are always relative, not absolute.

The main venue of the film festival is in Shibuya District, Tokyo, where NHK is headquartered, which is the Japan Broadcasting Association.

Shibuya District is a very prosperous administrative district. Chen Lian turned his head and glanced at the intersection he just passed. He felt as if he had seen it in a movie. It was the zombie movie. Chen Lian couldn't remember the specific name.

Chen Li'an only remembers that clip. It was beautifully shot and had a depressing sense of doomsday horror.

It seems that many movies have been shot here. Chen Li'an has seen this intersection in many movies.

Yasuko Tomita looked at Chen Li'an who was lost in thought and asked: "Do you like Japan?"

"If you mean the scenery here," Chen Li'an paused and looked at Tomita Yasuko and said, "I really like it."

Tomita Yasuko's expression changed slightly, with a hint of joy in the corners of her eyes. She felt that Chen Li'an's pause just now meant that Chen Li'an liked the scenery in Tokyo and her.

Chen Li'an knew that Tomita Yasuko was imagining it, but he didn't explain it. It was indeed what she thought.

I like the scenery and girls here! Yasuko Tomita is also a girl.

Soon the car arrived at the main venue. The moment Chen Li'an and Tomita Yasuko got out of the car together, they immediately attracted the attention of reporters.

finally! Finally a Japanese actor appears! There is not a single Japanese filmmaker appearing so far, and the only shortlisted film crew, Yoshikwan, is yet to appear.

The appearance of Yasuko Tomita immediately made the Japanese reporters happy, and the cameras in their hands almost exploded.

The reporters and photographers from the TV station also focused their cameras here, and excitedly began to introduce Yasuko Tomita and Chen Li'an next to her.

I have to say that Japanese reporters are very well-informed and even revealed Chen Li'an's resume when introducing him.

But even if they don't mention it, many Japanese audiences will recognize Chen Li'an. After all, Chen Li'an is in two movies released in Japan this year.

One film, "Feng Yue", has been released, and another film, "Christ in Nanjing" is currently being released.

Both of these films are very popular in Japan, and Chen Li'an's appearance is also very popular among Japanese audiences. I absolutely love the enhanced version of Li Ming.

This may also be the one that Japanese audiences are most familiar with among all the foreign actors attending the film festival today, and an inexplicable sense of closeness emerges.

In Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture, a little kid sat in front of the TV and looked at Yasuko Tomita on the TV. He twisted his butt and shouted: "Oh, Sister Yasuko Tomita, she is so beautiful~"

The little kid's mother rolled her eyes at him with black lines on her head, then squeezed to the side of the TV and said with rosy eyes: "Don't block me from watching TV, go away quickly, I want to watch a handsome actor."

The youngest sister in the family, who can’t walk yet, also sat aside and yelled.

At the main venue in Shibuya, Tokyo, Chen Li'an and Tomita Yasuko stayed on the red carpet for more than two minutes before finally walking the entire red carpet.

Before I even thought about entering, I was stopped by the outfield host who had been waiting at the end of the red carpet.

"Senior!" the host shouted to Yasuko Tomita, and then greeted Chen Li'an and Ou Dingping in English.

Chen Li'an looked at this inexplicably familiar face and curiously asked Tomita Yasuko in Chinese: "What is the name of this host?"

"Good luck to Tengyuan." Tomita Yasuko replied in a low voice. Seeing Chen Li'an looking at Fujiwara Norika, she felt slightly uncomfortable. Am I not your only one in Japan?

Norika Fujiwara? The three cat-eye sisters? Chen Li'an took a closer look. No wonder she looked familiar. She was also a Showa beauty, and she even won the Miss Japan title.

This is the second Showa beauty that Chen Li'an has seen. The first one is holding his arm and wondering whether Chen Li'an has thoughts about Fujiwara Norika.

Chen Li'an must have no idea. He just thinks that Fujiwara Norika is really good-looking, but Chen Li'an didn't expect that she is still working as a host. Haven't the three cat-eye sisters been filmed yet?

Fujiwara Norika in the three cat-eye sisters is really good-looking, her black leather jacket is beautiful and cool, and her legs are really long.

After Norika Fujiwara retained Chen Li'an and the others, she and another host chatted with them enthusiastically and asked several questions.

The main target is Yasuko Tomita, but it is difficult to ignore Chen Li'an beside her. After all, compared with the unfamiliar director Ou Dingping, Chen Li'an still has a certain degree of familiarity.

There were not many questions asked. Chen Li'an and the others left after answering the questions in a routine manner.

But when leaving, Chen Li'an looked back at Fujiwara Norika and happened to catch her eyes.

The two people's eyes collided and they immediately separated. The male host next to Fujiwara Norika put down the microphone in his hand and joked to Fujiwara Norika in a low voice: "Don't look at Fujiwara Norika, they are already gone."

"Senior." Fujiwara Norika looked back at him helplessly, but the picture in her mind still stayed at the moment when Chen Li'an turned around.

He is really handsome. He is more handsome than many male artists in China. Fujiwara Norika sighed in her heart and stopped thinking about it.

Such a powerful actor is so far away from me, I envy Yasuko Tomita-senpai.

Forget it, let’s think about where to go for a drink after the opening ceremony!

I will definitely have the opportunity to work with such a handsome and powerful actor in the future!

In the venue, Yasuko Tomita held Chen Li'an's arm and said with some jealousy: "You didn't think about me in Xiangjiang, but you still thought about others when you came to Tokyo."

When Chen Li'an heard this, he glanced at Tomita Yasuko and said helplessly: "It's obvious that you are avoiding me in Xiangjiang, okay?"

Anyway, Chen Li'an didn't mention anything about what he was thinking about Norika Fujiwara just now.

Tomita Yasuko snorted, hugged Chen Li'an's arm tightly and said, "You, like Okazawa, want to come to Tokyo to find your own golden flower."

"Nonsense, I'm not a scumbag like Okagawa. What does a movie role have to do with an actor!"

(I went to the hospital this morning and had an orthopedic exam. The doctor said the problem is not serious, but I need to pay attention to rest. I am fine! Thank you everyone for your concern, I love you!)
