776, they will definitely not vote for this movie!!! Right?
.......
DreamWorks movie shooting base in Ota Ward.
Dozens of young people are chasing each other and fighting in a crowded duel field...but they are running around in an unorganized manner, which is no different from children fighting.
"CUT!" Komori Masataka shouted through the loudspeaker, "Everyone take a rest first!"
Then he sat on the director's chair with a sad look on his face, his brows furrowed tightly.
Director assistant Ishikawa Katsura next to him came up:
"Masaka-san, what's wrong?"
"Oh~~~" Komori Masataka felt that he had sighed more often since filming "Hot Blood High School 2", "No matter how I shoot, I feel like I can't capture Naoki-san's passionate feeling!"
I still remember the feeling of Takizawa Genji leading a group of younger brothers in the rain in the first part, walking in an arrogant pace without even recognizing his relatives. With the background music of "Into the battlefield" by Naoki-san, he wanted to watch it.
Follow me and beat them together!
"Naoki-san's passion..." Ishikawa Katsura chewed on the words, "Maybe it's because he is a young man~"
"..." Komori Masataka looked at the assistant with a vacant look, "Ishikawa, you are saying that I am old and have no passion, right?!"
"No, I didn't say that!"
Ishikawa Katsura quickly explained, but he glanced at Komori Masataka. After getting married, he was happy and fat, coupled with his irregular diet during the filming of the movie, even his belly showed up... Besides, he is a teenager, more or less.
That’s a bit nonsense!
Komori Masataka was sensitively aware of this somewhat impolite look, and held the speaker in front of his belly:
While the two were arguing, Kijima Kyor came over and said to Komori Masataka: "Masataka, Naoki-san is coming..."
"Eh?" X2, "Why do you want to come here suddenly?"
"Come to check on the progress, maybe come to visit the class?"
Kijima Kyon is also not sure, because after the previous magic modification, Serizawa Tamao, played by Kaede Nagayama, has been "seriously injured and offline", and he is no longer in the scenes being filmed.
"..." Komori Masataka thought for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief as if he suddenly thought of something, "Just in time, I can ask Naoki-san how to shoot passionate scenes."
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the gate of the factory together, waiting for the arrival of Naoki Nagayama.
.......
As for Nagayama Naoki here, he communicated about Shuyou Capital in Ginza in the morning, and came to the Dream Factory in Ota Ward in the afternoon.
When he saw Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor waiting at the door, he was also a little surprised:
"Why are you two waiting here?"
"This is how we can show our respect for Naoki-san!" Goujiazijia said.
"I hope I can see Naoki-san soon..." Dogleg Yi added.
"...Such a gesture..." Nagayama Naoki parked the car, looked at the two guys and smiled, "You two...won't have done anything wrong, right?"
!”
"How is that possible!" Komori Masataka immediately exclaimed, and then showed a flattering smile, "I just want to ask Naoki-san something! I have no idea what is going on with Kijima."
Kijima looked at his friend speechlessly, his eyes full of contempt~
"Naoki-san... I just want to inform you as soon as possible that the scene of "Midnight Bell 2" has been completed and can be used at any time!"
Kijima Xu followed Naoki Nagayama towards the field area,
"I don't know when the filming of this movie will start...and...I want to ask if "Century of Love" can be prepared in advance...I mean the scenes~
"
Only then did Nagayama Naoki realize that this guy must have felt itchy after seeing Masataka Komori start filming a movie!
""Midnight Bell 2" mainly depends on Shuichi-san's time... His recent "Blue Sea" has almost been promoted, it should be soon..."
Without hiding anything, Nagayama Naoki directly told Kijima Kyor and Komori Masataka about the current situation, and then patted Kijima Kyor on the shoulder,
"As for the scene preparation for "Century of Love", it's indeed time... Kijima-kun, you make the report and I'll approve the note..."
"Hi! I will prepare it immediately!" Kijima Xu's eyes lit up after hearing this.
It's already November, and the New Year will be here in two months. Before then, prepare the venue and ask Otomo-san to find good actors, so that his new project can start production!
With a hint of excitement, Kijima Kyor and Naoki Nagayama checked out the scenes of "Midnight Ring 2". This was the last time. The scene construction was all completed and they were waiting for the crew to move in for filming.
Nagayama Naoki took a rough look at it and was very satisfied... The comments mentioned earlier have also been corrected. In addition to "Midnight Ring 2", these scenes can also be used in other movies in the future...
"There will be two more films at the end of this year. "High School 2" is already being filmed, and "Midnight Bell 2" has not started yet..." Naoki Nagayama was thinking about Shuyou Pictures' movie plan, "Next year, now
It has been confirmed that there are "Sea Street Diary" and "Love Century"... It is not enough at all... I will find a time to discuss it with Otomo-san and Shuichi-san..."
While he was thinking about it, Komori Masataka was already waiting for him to arrive at the theater of "High School 2".
Everyone in the crew who was taking a break knew Nagayama Naoki. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and said hello:
"Naoki-san!" "Director Nagayama!" "Mr. Naoki..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Similar words are heard endlessly, and Nagayama Naoki has already adapted to this kind of attention. With a calm smile on his face, he greeted them one by one.
After arriving at the director's studio, Masataka Komori couldn't wait to say:
"Naoki-san... I have always wanted to create a passionate atmosphere like the first one, but when the showdown between Hosen High School and Suzuran High School took place, although the fighting was exciting, it didn't have that passionate feeling.
..."
Komori Masataka thought for a while and said: "It's the kind of shot that makes people's skin crawl..."
Naoki Nagayama understood after listening to it. The scene like meeting in the rain... looks cool and handsome... It is a feeling that is exclusive to teenagers!
In fact, if you add some secondary lines to the lines, such as "My fate is up to me" and "I want this day, I can no longer cover my eyes", it will also have this effect...
"Hmm...Masataka-kun." Naoki Nagayama naturally couldn't express such thoughts, as he would be laughed at. He looked at the duel venue and thought about the scene of the original film, "The final decisive battle scene.
, actually there is no need to be so anxious.”
"What does Naoki-san mean?" Komori Masataka took a small notebook and recorded it.
"Give the protagonist time to be cool!"
Nagayama Naoki briefly explained the secret,
"To have Takizawa Genji stand in front of a group of enemies and say some cool lines without hesitation... like, 'It's not just you, I mean everyone here is happy!'"
I can deal with you all by myself!' and the like..."
Komori Masataka was recording carefully. When he heard the last line, his hand movements suddenly stopped, as if he didn't hear clearly:
"Um...Naoki-san...what was the line you just said?"
Masataka Komori got goosebumps when listening to such a powerful and so-so line. He actually asked the leading actor to say it in front of a group of people???
How embarrassing this must be!
"Ahem!" Nagayama Naoki coughed tactically. He himself couldn't help the chuuniu style, "I only say that line once!!! I have forgotten it now."
"...."
Komori Masataka and the other staff who were listening were silent. Naoki-san is really very thick-skinned!
Naoki Nagayama acted as if nothing had happened, and then said to Masataka Komori:
"The original arrangement was for Takizawa Genji to challenge alone first, and then the brothers would come over to support him... So in the first fight, we had to film the hardship of his fight, but we also had to show his perseverance.
The spirit of pulling..."
"During the fight, you can't stop talking... After you beat a guy down, you have to stop the camera and say some provocative words. Even if you are besieged, you have to say, 'My journey will never stop here.
' and stuff like that."
"Only in this way can a group fight scene show the passion of young people..."
Nagayama Naoki kept talking, while Komori Masataka kept recording, and Kijima Kyun's eyes lit up when he heard it. This is the real story!
The so-called false transmission of thousands of books, this is what one sentence of the true transmission says!
You should write down everything Naoki-san said. This will be your wealth in the future as a director!
It wasn't until Naoki Nagayama was talking that his mouth was dry, and then he stopped and took the atomic soda that Kijima Kyon handed over... Well, this kid Kijima has a promising future!
"Naoki-san...Arigado!" Masataka Komori bowed with great gratitude.
"Haha, Masataka-kun, "High School 2" is our masterpiece before the end of the year, everything depends on you!" The final battle has been filmed, and the movie has almost reached its final stage.
"Hi!"
........
After entering November, the three major film selections in Tokyo have started one after another, and so far we have basically received the films to be selected.
But this time, the review committee more or less encountered a problem.
"President Tanaka..." Fumio Ishikawa, a judge of the Film Academy Awards, came to Tanaka Tomoyuki's office with this batch of film lists, "This batch of nominated films is here."
"This is...a movie released in September, right..." Tanaka Yuyuki took the list, adjusted his reading glasses, and sure enough, he saw what he wanted to see...
...
"Ah... "Kikujiro's Summer"..."
This movie by Nagayama Naoki can be said to be the most perfect ending to this summer. It is novel, interesting, absurd, warm... Various labels have been slapped on this movie,
Even a comedy movie has been praised by harsh film critics.
"Yes, it's Naoki Nagayama's movie again."
Ishikawa Fumio was already very familiar with Naoki Nagayama, as he was heavily involved in the last transaction between President Tanaka and another director Fukasaku Kinji.
Speaking of Kinji Fukasaku, I heard that after this guy was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy, divorced his wife, and was kicked out of the house by his lover Keiko Matsusaka, etc., he still didn't fall down... He actually started to start again recently.
Preparing for a movie...
Personal matters are just trivial matters. Kinji Fukasaku's directorial skills are very strong and the movies he produces are very good at the box office. Naturally, the producers are willing to support him.
"President Tanaka, are we going to stop the movie this time?" Ishikawa Fumio asked Tanaka Tomoyuki.
"Stop? What's there to stop?" Tanaka Yuyuki looked at Ishikawa Fumio strangely, "Ishikawa, we have no grudges against Nagayama Naoki... I used my connections to suppress "Love Letter" entirely for my own benefit.
It's just "Snow", there's no conflict this time..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tanaka Yuyuki took a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "Besides, "Kikujiro's Summer" obviously has no possibility of winning the final prize this time..."
"this?"
"Have you forgotten? The tradition of the Film Academy Awards...will not select the works of the same director consecutively!" Tanaka Tomoyuki said on the ground.
For the Film Academy Awards jury, in addition to selecting the best films of the year, it also has the concept of promoting the development of the neon film industry...
Therefore, although there is no explicit rule, each of the judges had one thought in mind when voting. This is the director who won the award last time. Let someone else do it this time...
This idea creates an effect similar to group decision-making. No one director will win consecutive Film Academy Awards.
Ishikawa Fumio felt relieved when he heard this: "That's it, I understand~"
"It seems that Nagayama Naoki is going to be very unhappy this time..."
"Hahaha~" Tanaka Yuyuki laughed, "Not sure, maybe the best actor, best screenwriter, best scene, etc., will still be given to Naoki Nagayama... After all, this movie
It’s really excellent…”
At this time, a similar conversation took place in the jury of the Film Blue Ribbon Award.
The chairman of the jury, Koichi Nojima, was distributing the list of films participating in this year's competition and talking about this situation with his colleagues.
"Naoki Nagayama probably won't have a chance at this Blue Ribbon Film Award... It's such a pity that the movie "Summer of Kikujiro"..." Nojima Koichi said, "If it were released next year
If so, it is undoubtedly the best film of the year."
"Yes, yes..." colleagues all echoed.
"In the past, if there was a film that wanted to compete for awards, the production company would have people come in to help. This time, Tree Friends Films has not been released yet, which means that they themselves have no intention of competing for the blue ribbon." A colleague said this.
"Hahaha, they must be self-aware!"
There were sounds of laughter in the office. They all felt that "Kikujiro's Summer" would only win a few big and small awards this time.
However... it stands to reason that even awards such as Best Actor and Best Screenplay are awards that other directors can only dream of.
But when it comes to Nagayama Naoki, the judges all think that his winning of this kind of award is just a marginal award...
Maybe Naoki Nagayama has raised the public’s threshold too high!
In a relaxed atmosphere, the members of the jury sent the list of candidates to the judges and let them start judging.
.......
As the editor of the earliest and most authoritative film newspaper, "Film Weekend", Tonshi Maruyama is naturally one of the judges for the Blue Ribbon Film Awards. Naturally, he got the list of entries this time.
"Sure enough, "Kikujiro's Summer" is in it~"
After reading the list, Maruyama Tonshi sighed with regret. Naturally, he also knew the unspoken rules.
After the movie was released, he went to the cinema to watch it as soon as possible. The "Film Weekly" even gave two special issues to introduce this movie to everyone and explore all aspects of "The Summer of Kikujiro".
It can be said that even the producers and directors don’t understand movies as well as he does...
"As we all know, Naoki Nagayama is just a director, he knows Kikujiro who is a hammer..."
Maruyama Roshi silently complained, because this time Kikujiro was not the name of the director's father, and the movie itself did not hint at the director's childhood, so no one connected the movie with Naoki Nagayama's life.
Regarding the protagonist Kikujiro, Maruyama Tonshi believed that this image must have more resonance with him than Nagayama Naoki. He wrote tens of thousands of words about the character Kikujiro, describing his growth experience, and published it in "
Movie Newsletter!
So now, Roshi Maruyama feels very sorry that such an excellent movie cannot win the award.
As a senior editor of a movie magazine, he has watched all the movies on the list, and almost all the producers will send free movie tickets to "Movie Weekly".
So he was very clear about the level of these movies, and he quickly roughly selected the awards for other movies on the voting list... But when it came to the final general stage...
"Sure enough, none of them can compare to "Kikujiro's Summer"!"
Rinshi Maruyama could only whisper like this in his entanglement... Even if the last batch of participating films has not been submitted yet, he is very sure that there will be no more outstanding film than "The Summer of Kikujiro" this year.
!
Until he got off work, Maruyama Roshi was still struggling with the voting list for a long time, always feeling that he could not choose other movies against his will...
When everyone else in the editor's office was gone, an idea flashed in his head:
"By the way, if everyone doesn't vote for this movie...then even if I vote, it won't affect the final result!!!"
After figuring this out, Maruyama Roshi suddenly felt relaxed.
Maruyama Tonshi looked around with a guilty conscience. After seeing no one, he voted for "Kikujiro's Summer" on the voting sheet and wrote the most honest comment...
"With the lightest comedy, the most novel shooting techniques, and the most tender story, this movie shows people that comedy can be shot this way!"
"In this case, even if this movie doesn't win the award, I won't feel uneasy!"
At this time, Rinshi Maruyama didn't feel at all that he had broken the unspoken rules... After all, there were so many judges. As long as they didn't vote for "Kikujiro's Summer", there would definitely be no problem!
Yeah! Absolutely no problem!
Those judges will definitely not vote for "Kikujiro's Summer"!
They definitely won't vote for this movie!!! Right?
