261, Don't tell Xiu Yisang about running for Oscar
...
At the age of 20, after resting for a whole day, minor physical discomforts naturally healed immediately.
Early in the morning, Nagayama Naoki started his morning run in high spirits. After chatting with Mr. Nobu Aoyama for a while, he returned to Yamasakura-in.
"Yingtaro, take good care of your house!"
After preparing dog food for the dog, Nagayama Naoki was ready to go to the studio. On the way, he was still thinking that there was no regular feeding machine, otherwise he would not be able to let Taro eat small amounts and frequent meals.
I stopped by the recording studio and got the tape of "silent love".
When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the editing room of the studio, he found the unshaven Masataka Komori. The entire editing room was still filled with the smell of cigarettes and bento.
"Masataka-kun, didn't you go back at night?" Nagayama Naoki quickly opened the window for ventilation, "There is no rush to edit this movie, you don't have to work so hard~"
"Hey, I just happened to edit an important part, so I started working overtime on a whim."
On the surface, he answered Naoki Nagayama like this, but Masataka Komori was saying in his heart: "Naoki-san, you are not in a hurry, but I am... If you don't hurry up, I might lose my job to Shuichi-san!"
"Haha, is that so?" Naoki Nagayama can't interrupt the employees' enthusiasm for work, but Masataka Komori's slovenly appearance is really annoying, and Naoki Nagayama even smelled a bit of sour smell, "Masataka-kun, you should go and take a rest first.
Well, let’s do some editing by the way, just so I can take a look at what I’ve edited before.”
"Hey, I'm going to fix it first! But there's no need to rest, I'm not sleepy."
When Masataka Komori saw Naoki Nagayama coming, he knew that the operation could not be performed for the time being, so he nodded and prepared to go to the nearby convenience store to buy some disposable toiletries and breakfast.
Naoki Nagayama checked the results of Masataka Komori's work that day and night on the editing workbench.
...
At the same time, Toshitaka Yamamura, the director of Toei Film and Television Business Planning and Sales Department, who had been in contact with Shuyu Pictures a long time ago, was in a meeting.
"Are you confident about this year's Blue Ribbon Award?" Toshitaka Yamamura asked directly those present,
Tohru Nakano responded: "Although the box office of "The Life of Hanako Kiryuin" has been basically confirmed to be in the top ten of the year, if you want to win..."
"Does that mean you no longer have confidence?"
"Although it is a bit depressing to say this, there is indeed a gap between the previous ones. Kadokawa's "Hachiko Monogatari" is far ahead at the box office. It is difficult to compete for the best work and best director."
It was Toru Nakano who was still answering the minister's questions. At this time, the minister actually understood the situation. As a confidant, Toru Nakano naturally knew that this meeting was actually to adjust the direction of the Blue Ribbon Award.
"However, the biggest flaw of "Hachiko Monogatari" is that the protagonist of the film is a dog. It has won awards such as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. This film is absolutely
Can’t compete.”
"In addition, Toho's new "Kamata March" has good momentum and may also pose a threat to us."
Yamamura Toshitaka nodded, but still said: "Don't worry too much, it's just a movie that has just been released. By the time the reputation is built, it will already be too late."
Then he said to other employees in the office: "Well, colleagues, let's aim to win the Blue Ribbon Award for Best Actor and Actor, and work hard together!"
After the meeting, Toshitaka Yamamura kept Tohru Nakano.
"Nakano, I asked you to get in touch with the screenwriter Naoki Nagayama. How did it go? Is he willing to provide us with a script?"
"Minister Yamamura, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to contact him yet..."
"...Nakano, is that guy unwilling to contact us?"
"No, it means completely out of reach... Naoki Nagayama protects his privacy very well. He is not familiar with the agents in the industry at all, and he is not familiar with the activities and other activities in the industry.
He didn’t attend the gathering at all...even the well-known middlemen in the industry don’t have his contact information.”
Tohru Nakano was also very distressed. If he hadn't done something inappropriate for Shuyu Pictures to know about, he would have wanted to contact Nagayama Naoki directly through Yoshimura Otomo of Shuyu Pictures.
"Is this person... autistic?"
"Not even here. I attended the Silver Valley Music Festival the day before yesterday and was exposed by the newspaper for a scandal."
"Music festival..."
Toshitaka Yamamura also had a headache. Every one of these capable creators had problems of one kind or another.
"Anyway, keep looking for opportunities to contact him. I remember that TV Asahi once cooperated with him, and Fuji TV also invited him to appear on several programs. You can ask him."
"Hi!"
...
When it was almost noon, Fangcun Otomo also came to the studio.
Look at his pale face and wearing a pair of sunglasses indoors. It looks like he just woke up from a hangover.
I learned from the staff that Naoki Nagayama was already there, so I walked towards the editing room.
"Naoki-san, have you recovered?"
"Hey, it's just a little cold, but Otomo-san, you have to take good care of your health! Don't drink too much at such an old age." Nagayama Naoki glanced at it and kindly advised, "When you reach middle age, you should be careful.
Stay healthy!”
"I usually take good care of myself, okay!" Otomo Fangcun retorted casually, "You're here just in time, I have something to tell you."
"Nani?"
Nagayama Naoki followed him to the office and poured two cups of hot water very considerately.
Yoshimura Otomo held the water glass: "Naoki-san, I was drinking with Kadokawa Haruki yesterday."
"Eh? Haruki-san wants to drink with you alone? Or is there something wrong with Kadokawa?"
"It's all the same." Yoshimura Otomo directly told what he had discussed with Kadokawa Haruki yesterday.
Nagayama Naoki was a little confused: "It doesn't matter if you have a name or something, but Oscar?"
"Hi, the movie "The Tale of Hachiko" is impeccable in terms of innovation and other aspects. I think it has potential." Yoshimura Otomo expressed his thoughts.
Nagayama Naoki wiped his face: "It's not that the quality is not good or anything like that... But Otomo-san, I only remembered that I wanted to go to the studio to edit the movie after I recovered today, and you suddenly told me about Oscar
I haven't prepared anything..."
"Besides, wouldn't Xiu Yisang be even more shocked if he finds out?"
Yoshimura Otomo waved his hand and said indifferently: "Shuichi-san, don't tell him for the time being. Anyway, he is very busy making movies now. Let's tell him when we finally attend the ceremony, regardless of whether he won the prize or not."
