823, please let me save my acceptance speech for the Palme dOr!!
...
Looking down at the group of people in the entertainment industry who were looking forward to watching, as well as more than a dozen cameras from various angles, Nagayama Naoki was filled with emotion... This is really a moment that everyone is looking forward to!
But I really can’t think of any acceptance speech at the moment~
After all, for the six previous awards, I have already thanked almost everyone who can be thanked! Do I have to thank all the previous ones again this time?
"Oh, Kabuto...I didn't expect to win the Best Film Award...I don't know who I should thank for a moment..."
Nagayama Naoki held a huge trophy and certificate, and said words that made many directors and filmmakers envious, as if he was asking for a beating.
He looked at the camera, his crazy personality suddenly appeared again, and his head twitched:
"How about I owe it for now?!"
With a cry of coaxing, the atmosphere at the venue suddenly became heated!
Some of the older and more senior guests looked playful, some frowned, and felt a little uncomfortable with such frivolous behavior, but they all maintained a business face in front of the camera.
The younger generation of actors and guests couldn't help but give a thumbs up, with expressions on their faces like "This guy really dares to say that", "This is stupid" and "Brother is awesome!"
In this era of rapid economic development and bright prospects for the younger generation, the emerging generation in the entertainment industry has long been full of dissatisfaction with the staid old culture, and has a rebellious spirit deep in their hearts, just because the criteria for judgment are mostly held by "old people"
in the hands of...
And now, as the most active dark horse of the younger generation, at the most solemn and authoritative awards ceremony in the neon film industry, in front of the people of the country, he actually committed such a rebellious behavior...
It really makes people feel happy!
Nagayama Naoki on the stage also looked at the various reactions below, especially the excitement of young people and the scrutiny of the older generation. He only felt a wave of heat filling his head, making people feel drunk~
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, Nagayama Naoki raised the trophy:
"Maybe a little willful, a little arrogant...but...please let me save my acceptance speech for the Palme d'Or!"
The crowd was filled with whispers, and the explosion was comparable to a certain Smith slapping the host at the Oscars in the future...
The noise was already affecting the live broadcast. There were exclamations, applause, gasps, and even someone stood up and whistled...
Even the two hosts on the stage were a little confused, and the studio was even more chaotic...
Neon has won Academy Awards for so many years, but no one can do it to this extent!!!
At this moment, the handsome young man standing in the center of the spotlight, holding the huge trophy rebelliously, smiled full of confidence and pride...
He seems to be the most shining representative of the young generation in the neon bubble era!!!
"How dare you say that!" "Aren't you afraid that you won't win the award when the time comes?!" "Are you crazy?" "You should be a real man!"
"Ganba Daddy!" "gogogo!" "Naoki-san, I want to have a monkey with you!"
"...."
Nagayama Naoki walked back to his seat amidst many different noises, and put the trophy for best movie into a pile of trophies. The trophies and certificates on the table were like hills...
"Naoki-san..." Itou Shuichi's expression was not clear whether he was crying or laughing, "This time... I'm going big!"
"..."
As Nagayama Naoki walked off the stage, his heart was beating very fast... He didn't expect that his superiors would do such a thing!
"Naoki-san, you did a good job!" Takeshi Kitano congratulated with a smile, "If I were a girl, I would definitely marry you!"
Nagayama Naoki looked at his face that looked like it had been chopped several times:
"Please don't! Please!"
........
When Naoki Nagayama said those words on the award podium, countless people were watching the live broadcast of the award ceremony in front of the TV screen.
Before speaking, Nagayama Tsuruko was lamenting with her best friend Junsui-chan:
"Another award... Ni-chan wants to take away all the Academy Awards?"
After speaking, Yongshan Hezi's eyes widened instantly, and he still couldn't believe it:
"Chunsui-chan, am I not hallucinating? What did Ni-chan say?"
Ishii Junsui opened his mouth slightly and said with difficulty:
"Brother Naoki, it seems he said... I have to save my acceptance speech for the Palme d'Or..."
"!!!"
Various thoughts suddenly emerged in his little head. Nagayama Tsuruko was in confusion at this moment, but his hand unconsciously touched the phone next to him.
"Tsuruko, what are you going to do?"
"I need to call mom!"
"?"
"Ni-chan must be possessed by aliens!!!"
At this time, Akina Nakamori was originally preparing for the live broadcast of "Music Station" on TV Asahi. She took the time to watch the live TV broadcast in the rest room... After all, even if she couldn't go to the scene, she still had to pay attention!
Of course, there were many people watching in the common room...including other idol guests... The Academy Awards ceremony can be said to be a major event in the entertainment industry.
In the live broadcast, Nagayama Naoki came on stage to win awards again and again, thanking different people... When Nakamori Akina heard "Thank you Akina for your support", a happy smile flashed on her face, and her eyes even became misty.
.
"Akina-chan, thank you so much!!! Hahaha, I just said when Akina will show up!"
However, under the happy encouragement of Koizumi Kyoko next to me, tears did not form...
"Kyoko-chan..." Akina Nakamori pulled her arm, indicating that there were many people in the lounge... "Keep your voice down..."
However, after a while, everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen, and they heard Naoki Nagayama's words... "Please let me save my acceptance speech for the Palme d'Or"...
Even in the lounge of TV Asahi, more than ten miles away, a lively and exciting discussion suddenly started. For a time, Akina Nakamori looked to the side with a lot more eyes...
At this time, Akina Nakamori was staring at the screen with high spirits, as if she were her boyfriend at the center of the world, and felt her heartbeat thumping loudly!
"Naoki-san... you are so handsome!"
At the same time, with the broadcast of the 8th Neon Film Academy Awards ceremony, more and more people are aware of Naoki Nagayama’s feat at the award ceremony.
A big stone was smashed into a puddle, and the water splashed down, but the ripples spread wider and wider in the entertainment industry... and even spread abroad~
........
At the celebration party later in the evening, Naoki Nagayama undoubtedly became the center of everyone's attention. Actors of the younger generation and people in the industry kept coming to say hello, and Naoki Nagayama was overwhelmed.
I gave away a whole box of business cards and received a lot of unfamiliar business cards.
"Naoki-san... After tonight, there are not many people in the film industry that you don't know!" Itou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki were chatting with everyone, taking the time to sigh beside them.
"Isn't this a good thing~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"The people who come to see you are all young people... You see, many middle-aged people don't even smile with you..." Itou Shuichi said.
Naoki Nagayama's declaration on the awards podium made it difficult for many stable middle-aged people to look past it, but it aroused the popularity of young people. Perhaps the new talents in the film industry have regarded Naoki Nagayama as a representative of young people.
"Eh? Aren't there some very old people with gray hair?" Nagayama Naoki was confused.
"They..."
Itou Shuichi didn't know what to say. There was such a big age difference between his seniors and the way he looked at Naoki Nagayama was probably like watching a junior fooling around~
Maybe they are also happy with the vitality of the film industry~
"I guess I treat you like a child!"
"..." Nagayama Naoki was speechless and continued to chat with someone while holding the wine glass.
Naoki Nagayama, who rarely attends social events, was able to attend the celebration party with ease this time without any stage fright.
Because I had just explained my ambition in public, I also jokingly asked some seniors to say good things in front of my friends in the international film industry, so that "Summer of Kikujiro" would get more praise from the jury.
With the intake of alcohol, the topics became broader, including postmodern film art, trendy editing equipment, thoughts on digital films and the development trend of film films, etc...
Just like young people chatting about mountains and rivers, it attracted many interested people.
Unknowingly, Nagayama Naoki became the center of a group of young people and some old people!
"I said... Tokyo is obviously an international metropolis!" Naoki Nagayama's face turned a little red, but his eyes were still clear, "There are thousands of movie theaters... and there are a lot of people watching movies.
....”
"But even Yokohama has its own film festival, why doesn't Tokyo have one?!"
"Isn't there the Film Academy Awards, the Blue Ribbon Awards, and the Film Festival Awards?" Someone replied from the side, "They are all at the same time... February is equivalent to the Film Festival!"
"But... wouldn't it be more interesting if there was a 'Tokyo International Film Festival'..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, then raised his glass and said to the young people around him, "If more people prefer
New films, awards that encourage exploration of film pioneers...wouldn't it be more interesting..."
"Hmm..." "It does sound interesting~" "But no one will support it, right?" "How to select?"
Feeling that everyone was discussing it, Nagayama Naoki asked again:
"Does anyone know how the film festival was held? I remember that the Yokohama Film Festival was originally started by a group of film lovers!"
"That seems to be the case!" "It doesn't seem too difficult to gather a group of judges to review movies~" "Venue fee?" "It's not too expensive..."
Seeing that everyone was discussing, Naoki Nagayama stopped as soon as he was satisfied and did not continue to guide.
Rome was not built in a day!
He knew that the Tokyo Film Festival could not be decided so simply, and now it was just leaving an impression in everyone's mind.
After Naoki Nagayama won the Palme d'Or, his status in the film industry was only lower than that of a few people!
By that time, the east wind has arrived, and it is best to be able to respond to a hundred calls...
Shuichi Itou also started to socialize around this time, and he mostly paid attention to people in the bureaucracy, such as people from the Neon Film Development Committee, people from the Neon Art and Culture Promotion Association, and so on.
After all, many seniors from Tokyo University of the Arts are in these institutions, so Shuichi Itou already has a solid foundation.
Both of them are trying their best to gather connections. The short-term goal is to win the Palme d'Or in May, but the long-term goal is to hold the Tokyo Film Festival in the future.
However, both of them were sighing silently in their hearts at this time...
It would definitely be easier if the "social butterfly" Otomo-san was here!
.........
In the dark night, a car stopped at the entrance of Shanyingyuan.
Nagayama Naoki got out of the back seat. He smelled of alcohol, but he was still conscious~
"Wuchun-kun, thank you for sending me back~" Naoki Nagayama got out of the car and walked to the driver's seat to express his gratitude.
"This is what I should do!" Takeharu Kawahara looked at Nagayama Naoki with eyes full of admiration and couldn't help but said, "Naoki-san is so domineering today!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, that's... maybe I will awaken the domineering haki!"
After all, after drinking too much, Naoki Nagayama's thinking was a bit wild, but he also discovered this, quickly changed the topic, looked at the unconscious guy in the back seat and said,
"I'm leaving it to you, Shuichi-san!"
"Hi! I will send Shuichi-san home safely!" Takeharu Kawahara nodded seriously.
"Thank you......"
Watching the car's taillights disappear, Nagayama Naoki walked into Yamazakura-in, and then saw Yotaro who rushed over to greet him.
"Yutaro, I'm back!" Naoki Nagayama walked into the house, stroking Gouzi's head, and saw the darkness and said, "It seems Akina hasn't come back yet!"
"It seems like it's live broadcast too?"
He shook his head and walked directly towards the second floor... While his mind was clear, he could take a shower~
However, after steaming in the steaming water, Nagayama Naoki actually felt that the alcohol in his body had been taken out, and his whole person was wandering between sober and tipsy...
Humming an awkward tune, Nagayama Naoki cleaned the bathtub he had just used... Although there is a housekeeping staff, they usually come once a week, and you still have to do daily hygiene yourself!
I recalled the words I said on TV in my mind, and for a moment I felt that they were a little silly and a little reckless, but after saying such words, I was in a great mood!
It seems that I can still feel the feeling of hot blood rising in my chest...the heartbeat is also beating rhythmically...like a drumbeat...
"Well?"
Nagayama Naoki immediately noticed the abnormality of his emotions. Feeling the drumbeats that seemed to be pounding, he immediately understood... He was about to think of something again...
However, he was not in a hurry, cleaning the bathtub leisurely, and even wiped out the rhythm...
It wasn't until the drum beat started to echo in my ears that I came to the study room, took out the manuscript paper and sat on the chair.
Thoughts began to fly, the figure running on the TV, the red hair, the banging sound... As the basketball was thrown into the basket...
An exclamatory bass sound rang in my ears, and a smooth and explosive voice began at the same time:
“…..
Metropolis(だいとかい)に客(ぼく)はもう一人(ひとり)で
(Wandering alone in the metropolis)
throw(な)げ屋(す)てられたempty(あ)きカン(かん)のようだ
(Like a discarded empty beer can)
.......
The world ends
(I don’t want to be separated from you until the end of the world)
...
このTragedy Night
"
"Until the End of the World"......The theme song of "Slam Dunk"......
Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes and recalled everything about this song!
The sound of basketball hitting the ground seems to be echoing in my ears, and in front of me is Hanamichi Sakuragi slamming the basketball into the hoop, and that particularly famous scene...
"Coach! I want to play basketball!!!"
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh...
"Why did I remember this song?"
Does speaking arrogantly under the spotlight have anything in common with Sakuragi Hanamichi?!
Feeling the intermittent memories clearly still in his head, Nagayama Naoki also knew that there must be other parts of the "Slam Dunk" anime.
There are several famous theme songs, as well as animation plots and pictures, etc.
However, due to the upgrade of the golden finger, it won’t all come to mind now!
"The next step is the national competition..." Nagayama Naoki complained, "But year after year, the national competition is always far away..."
Shaking his head, Nagayama Naoki recorded the song "Until the End of the World" on the manuscript paper...
At this moment, the door to the study room was pushed open, and Akina Nakamori walked in with her eyes flowing:
"Naoki-san...you are back!"
"Yeah! After the party, someone sent it back~"
"That's it..."
Akina Nakamori, who was wearing a dress, approached her boyfriend, as if she had seen that scene of high spirits under the spotlight again... and her heart began to jump again~
"Naoki-san...."
"Huh?" Naoki Nagayama looked up at his girlfriend. He felt that Akina's eyes seemed a little blurred, and her breathing was a little short. "Did Akina drink too?"
"A little... but a little drunk!"
Nakamori Akina approached Nagayama Naoki, then held her boyfriend's face in her hands,
