Tokyo bubble life

It's been more than half a month since "Don't Stop the Camera" was released, and the vigorous discussion has intensified.

Supporters and detractors have found the right public opinion position to express their opinions.

"Don't refute just for the sake of refuting! Can't you say no after watching the movie carefully?!"

"You can't watch the beginning, you still want us to continue reading?"

"The concept and creativity of this movie are very innovative! It is a progress in the history of film!"

"I don't deny that Nagayama Naoki's previous movies were very good, but his movie is a failure! I won't accept refutation!"

"."

Slowly, the comments have gradually separated from the movie itself and begun to rise to the director and producer.

"Can you please stop blowing Nagayama Naoki carelessly? He is just a young man and he can blow it to the sky!"

"I would like to advise you who are ignorant and stupid, your psychology is absolutely unhealthy!"

"Haha~ It must be the navy hired by Nagayama Naoki!"

"."

The debates in major newspapers and tabloids can be connected one after another, and they even have the feeling of being on Internet forums in the future.

Since Naoki Nagayama is not in Tokyo and has no backbone tree friends, the counterattack has not been able to be established, and the direction of public opinion has begun to sway:

"Don't Stop the Camera" is a failed work. Naoki Nagayama's attempt was unsuccessful. The young man took too big a step.

Yoshimura Otomo now comes to the studio early every morning to look at the collected newspapers and discuss them, and discuss countermeasures with the people in the distribution department.

"Sugiyama-san, can't you invite more reporters to help?"

Sugiyama Chihiko was a little nervous: "Otomo-san, in fact, we have asked almost all channels. But it's a bit strange. It seems that the number of people hacking "Don't Stop the Camera" has suddenly increased in recent times!"

"Have you ever checked out the specific reason?"

"I have asked several newspaper editors to publish our scandalous materials, but they all hesitated. Some said it was the true feelings of the audience, but others said that someone asked them to publish these reports."

"But after asking, I didn't say who it was."

Yoshimura Otomo rubbed his temples and felt a little bit Alexander:

"It looks like one family took the lead, and then the other guys started swarming around like hyenas!"

Toei is not the only one who is jealous of Shuyou in the entertainment industry. After seeing that public opinion was unfavorable to Shuyou, many people were happy to step on it.

"Otomo-san, shall we continue to invite people?"

Sugiyama Chihiko asked, they now have to spend a sum of money almost every day to invite the navy to go to the media to express their support.

After all, the absolute number of people who spontaneously supported "The Cameras Don't Stop" was not that large. Most of the audience just watched the movie silently.

"Well, we can't omit this. At least the premiere will continue this month. And there will be a turnaround soon!" Otomo Yoshimura nodded and said, then looked at Eiichiro Watanabe, "Eiichiro-kun has something to give to you. You go and do it.”

"Hi?"

Eiichiro Watanabe was shocked,

"Please give me your orders!"

"This matter must be kept secret."

Fangcun Otomo rubbed his hands and looked a little excited.

"You go and secretly invite a dozen reporters with good connections. I have news here. I hope they can prepare it in advance."

"???"

However, Sugiyama Tohihiko seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Yoshimura Otomo in surprise.

"Otomo-san, could it be Naoki-san???"

"It cannot be said or said."

Yoshimura Otomo shook his head, the official awards at Cannes haven't come out yet! He just received vague information from the lobbyists he bribed, so he was prepared in advance.

At this moment, in the editorial office of "Film News", a large group of people are still working overtime for the latest issue of "Film News".

"Editor-in-Chief Maruyama. Here are the color samples of different covers!" An editor sent the color printing style of the latest issue to Editor-in-Chief Maruyama Torishi.

"oh?"

Tori Maruyama took a look and saw two different covers. One was the official poster of the Cannes Film Festival, and the other was a photo of Naoki Nagayama and his group walking on the red carpet.

"It's all fine," Maruyama Tonshi nodded, "In the end, we'll see if we win the prize!"

Anyway, it is all planned for the special issue of the Cannes Film Festival. The other shortlisted films in the main competition section have been analyzed and the article has been written. The only thing that makes people worry is whether "The Summer of Kikujiro" will really win the award.

"Editor-in-Chief Maruyama, except for the cover article, all the content has been proofread."

"Yeah. I know~"

The cover article was personally written by the editor-in-chief. He wrote articles in two directions and ultimately decided which one to use. Naturally, it depends on the final result.

"It is now 20 o'clock in the evening." Maruyama Torishi looked at the time, "It should be afternoon at Cannes, right? The closing ceremony should have already started. The awards ceremony will probably result in the early morning."

He said excitedly to the people in the office who were still working overtime:

"Other newspapers have printing time limits and will not start typesetting until at least tomorrow morning. But our "Movie Weekend" must deliver the results to readers as soon as possible!"

Because it is a special supplement, it has much less content than the journal, but it is also much faster to print.

The magazines of this era were not as sophisticated as they would be in the future, because the printing plants they had been cooperating with were also working overtime, so as long as the machines were installed, they could be printed overnight.

Time passed by minute by second, and the whole office became a little nervous.

Until Maruyama Tonshi's phone suddenly rang, and Maruyama Tonshi's face showed a smile~

The weather in Cannes in May is always so bright, as if it was specially prepared to welcome the arrival of the International Film Festival.

After the opening ceremony, Naoki Nagayama and a group of people walked among various movie screening halls, were invited to watch different movies in the main competition unit, accepted photos and interviews from the organizers, and chatted with Neon fans who came by the way.

Then at the film exhibition, we negotiated with film distributors from other countries about the distribution intentions of many films, such as Shuyou's film screenings in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This is not possible in the Mainland for the time being, and will only start to be liberalized after the 1990s~

On the day of the closing ceremony, Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Itou and others arrived at the Lumiere Theater early, waiting for the final awards ceremony.

"Naoki-san, how come you don't look nervous at all?" Tanaka Yuko looked at Naoki Nagayama who was bowing his head in thought and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm afraid I'll forget my lines."

"?"

"I had a hard time coming up with my acceptance speech these days!" Nagayama Naoki said plausibly, "What if I forget it after I get on stage!"

"."

Seeing that Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou both seemed confident, Yuko Tanaka seemed to understand something.

The selection results have been determined before they are announced, so those who should know will naturally know it already. This is common at home and abroad.

In fact, in the award ceremonies in the entertainment industry that outsiders see, the winners are excited and even shed tears. How much of it is genuine excitement, and how much of it is just a show?

You know, most of the people present are top actors with first-class acting skills who can control how many tears they shed in one second!

As time went by, more and more people entered the venue. The first few rows were filled with people who were expected to win awards, and the back half of the huge venue were filled with spenders.

The lights on the stage came on, the bustling discussion gradually stopped, and the awards ceremony of the 38th Cannes Film Festival officially began!

It's just that the guest host on stage spoke French. In fact, apart from the translator and the person leading the stage, few people in the audience understood it.

"Welcome to the stage of the chairman of the jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival selection."

After the host's words, Milos Forman, wearing sunglasses, walked onto the stage and said hello to everyone.

"It is a great honor to stand on the stage of the Cannes Film Festival. Next, please allow me to introduce the members of this jury, Edwin Zbonek, Francis Weber, Jorge Amado Neto"

The names appeared one by one, and then a group of nine members of the jury walked up to the front stage and sat on the judges' bench next to them.

"."

"First of all, the first award awarded today is the Camera d'Or (Directorial Debut Award). Let us congratulate "Oriana"!!!"

"."

The awards ceremony on the stage was carried out step by step, while the people in the audience were all kinds of people.

Naoki Nagayama was still reciting his lines and applauded from time to time, Shuichi Itou sat upright and followed the flow, Yuko Tanaka was smiling and applauding from time to time, Takeshi Kitano looked as if he was about to fall asleep, and it was completely unclear that he was trying to pretend not to understand. He seems to understand, he is indeed a good actor!

Even the youngest Naoto Fujiki kept a straight face and stopped clapping along with the others.

He couldn't understand what was said on stage at all. He only remembered what he said before. He would do whatever Nagayama Naoki did.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed quietly after the song performance on the stage, and the final moment came!

Milos Forman stood on the podium and said with emotion into the microphone:

"Movies are the art of light. Countless wonderful lights bring everyone here to participate in this grand event in the film industry."

“So, the winner of this year’s most dazzling light, the Palme d’Or————”

After a momentary pause, Milos Forman raised his glasses and scanned the faces of the audience below, and discovered that there were very few oriental faces at the scene.

""Kikujiro summer"!!"

Amidst a burst of strong applause, and at the prompt of the conductor, the camera focused on Naoki Nagayama’s group! !

"Naoki-san, we won the prize!" Even though he knew it in advance, Itou Xiu's hands were still trembling. He stood up excitedly and gave Nagayama Naoki a hug, "We won the prize!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I know, but please let me go first." Nagayama Naoki said helplessly, "I still have to go on stage to receive the award!"

"Ah Private Marseille!"

The two whispered in Japanese and were not heard by others. Naoki Nagayama let go of Shuichi Itou and gave Yuko Tanaka a gentle hug, and then hugged Naoto Fujiki as well, and then strode towards the podium. .

There was a sound of exclamation from behind. Nagayama Naoki thought it was the cheers of the crowd until he reached the middle of the stage and turned around to face the crowd, when his leg touched a small body.

"???!!!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Naoto Fujiki, who was panic-stricken but still holding the corner of his clothes, with confusion on his face. Why did he follow? !

(At this time, Naoto Fujiki was so frightened that he wanted to go to the toilet: I can just follow Naoki-san and do whatever my father tells me!)

When looking at the audience, Itou Shuichi also had a face full of surprise, Kitano Takeshi looked like he was watching the excitement, and Tanaka Yuko was a little panicked. She had already walked out of her seat and looked like she wanted to catch up but couldn't.

"."

With no time to think, Naoki Nagayama could only hold Naoto Fujiki's hand and walked next to award-giving guest Milos Forman.

"Congratulations, Mr. Naoki Nagayama." The Roman transliteration of your name made Milos Forman a little speechless, "Congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or!"

"thank you!"

The base of the pyramid is inlaid with a pure gold eighteen golden palm leaves. This is what the Palme d'Or trophy looks like today. It cannot be held with one hand, so it is placed in a double-door box.

Nagayama Naoki pulled Fujiki Naoto to the podium, handed him the Palme d'Or box and hugged him, and then smiled awkwardly into the microphone:

"This is not my son~(This is not my son)"

This was the first sentence of the 38th Palme d'Or winner's acceptance speech that instantly caused laughter on and off the stage.

"This is the most outstanding actor in "The Summer of Kikujiro"! Naoto Fujiki! Without him, there would be no Palme d'Or!"

Then the audience began to applaud enthusiastically, paying tribute to this actor in the film industry~

Nagayama Naoki pressed it with his hand and took a deep breath. Next, it was time for the real acceptance speech.

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get! (Life was like a box of chocolates with different flavors, you never know what the next piece will taste like. By-Forrest Gump)"

"Actually, when I first came on stage, I didn't know that Naoto-kun would come up with me. It was a wonderful surprise!"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the audience and talked. At this moment, the best screenwriters in the next few decades are behind him, providing him with the lines for his acceptance speech!

“I like when I wake up in the morning everything is unknown, I don’t know who I will meet and what the outcome will be.

It’s like I never thought that I would be able to stand in a grand event in the film industry and talk in front of all the outstanding people.”

"A long time ago, I had a dream."

"The movie gave me such an opportunity, and it gave everyone the opportunity to realize their dreams."

“My father once said, don’t speak out your ideals easily and don’t give others a chance to laugh at you.

If you have a dream in your heart that you want to realize, then please complete it step by step. When you complete your ideal, tell the world: 'I did it! ’”

"Today, I can finally say this with my own mouth!"

"I did it!!!"

In just a few minutes, Nagayama Naoki made it seem like he was giving a speech. The powerful incitement made everyone who understood English start applauding.

The people present are either film directors, film producers, or senior actors. Even the audience is also a film lover. Everyone has some research on movie lines.

At this time, they seemed to be seeing countless classic movie scenes flashing before their eyes. In each scene, Naoki Nagayama was emotionally speaking profound lines.

Every sentence can make a movie! ! !

When Naoki Nagayama waved his hand to everyone, the entire venue became excited and burst into applause~

This scene was completely recorded by the camera! ! !

Itou Shuichi was even more stunned, and even Kitano Takeshi kept applauding:

"Although I didn't understand anything, Naoki-san said it very well!"

"."

Can anyone tell me where the lines come from?
