875, let filmmakers from all over the world come to Tokyo!!
...
This is not the first time Naoki Nagayama has spoken in front of people, but when he stood in front of everyone again, some people's crazy hearts jumped again~
"Mina-san~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I am a man of my word!"
Taking a deep breath, Nagayama Naoki said the most pretentious words in the calmest tone:
"So, I got the Palme d'Or back!"
With a roar, everyone who came to the celebration banquet today burst into laughter, especially the young people who couldn't help but applaud. Yongshan Feng even whistled...
Someone has written a book called "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", which analyzes the traditional culture and universal psychology of Neon people. Neon's extreme traditional morality makes Neon people pursue their duties, be tolerant and steady, and often be in a state of life.
A state of high tension...
But where there is oppression, there will definitely be resistance. This makes Neon people very accepting of young people's inferiority, crushing, rebellion, etc., and they are even more tolerant of some people who are different from ordinary people.
So now what Naoki Nagayama said on the stage even made everyone feel like this is what a genius should be.
However, just peeling it off will be enough. Naoki Nagayama pressed his arm to cool down the mood at the scene:
"Thank you very much for coming to celebrate me today..."
"As I said in my acceptance speech, movies are a place where dreams come true...I am honored to be able to create some content of my own in this place..."
"I couldn't have gone all this way without the help of all my friends...Unknowingly, I owe a lot of favors..."
"...."
Returning to his serious posture, Nagayama Naoki's speech was still of a high standard.
During the 1960 U.S. presidential campaign, Kennedy had outstanding appearance, relaxed arms, and talked in front of the camera. He used perfect body language to win the election. From that time on, speeches changed from a language art to a comprehensive display.
Technology.
In his previous life, Nagayama Naoki had been giving lectures since high school. He practiced project speeches in college, used PPT to impress his boss after work, and gave year-end presentations at annual meetings with thousands of people...
I have already practiced it so well that I can continue speaking even without preparing an outline in advance, not to mention that I have prepared a speech script this time.
Let’s start from the first movie, the interesting things during the filming, the hardships during the filming, the joy of the box office hit, the joy of the box office hit, the joy of the box office hit...
The smiles on the faces of the directors and producers in the audience turned from knowing smiles to stiff...
"I went to the Oscars again before, and then to the Cannes Film Festival this time...Film lovers from all over the world gathered together..." Naoki Nagayama paused and sighed.
, “It’s really eye-opening....”
Finally getting to the point, he raised his head and slowly glanced at the industry leaders present:
"At that time, I was thinking, how great would it be if Tokyo could have such a grand event?!"
"After communicating with some friends, I discovered that Tokyo has already had the conditions to host a film festival..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at Masaki Kobayashi and other friends in the audience with a smile, and continued,
"Tokyo has world-famous directors, a mature film industry system, superior geographical conditions, an open film environment, an attitude towards film that encourages innovation, and countless people who are willing to invest in the film industry...
..."
Seeing that his conversation had attracted everyone's interest, Naoki Nagayama finally revealed what he had discussed with Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Itou, Masaki Kobayashi, Haruki Kadokawa and other friends and producers in the film industry.
"So...Shuyou Kadokawa decided to be the initiator and call on colleagues in the Tokyo film industry...to plan and organize an event called 'Tokyo International Film Festival'!!"
!”
Nagayama Naoki said firmly:
"The Tokyo Film Festival will promote cutting-edge films and promote film development as its main purpose, and introduce neon films to the world... In addition, as the initiator, Shuyou decided to use 10% of the box office of "The Camera Don't Stop"
As a bonus from the Tokyo Film Festival awards..."
"Let the Tokyo International Film Festival become a world-famous event like the Cannes International Film Festival!!!"
"Let filmmakers from all over the world come to Tokyo!!!"
Among the guests in the audience, some have already heard Nagayama Naoki's ideas, some have even participated in it, and some are hearing it for the first time. These people are all extremely surprised at this time.
Even the director of Fuji TV, Kazuki Takano, who was broadcasting the live broadcast, was full of surprise at this time~
Naoki Nagayama on the stage finally said:
"This is just a private appeal. The Tokyo Film Festival Preparatory Committee will be formed later to be officially responsible for the planning and preparation of this event... If you are interested, you can chat together later~"
"Now, please continue to enjoy today's performance..."
Amidst the applause, Nagayama Naoki walked off the stage, and then the host continued to warm up, preparing to invite the next band to perform.
But at this time, almost all the guests present were not in the mood to watch the performance.
Some of them went directly to relevant people to find out the details. Those who didn't know them directly went to the tree friends, Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi... Those who couldn't get in the conversation even found jobs as tree friends on site.
The staff asked...
........
Naturally, Nagayama Naoki was not spared. He was talking to Nagayama Kaede and was invited to other tables by people from several TV stations.
"Naoki-san, you didn't even tell us about such a big thing?!"
Director Kazuki Takano of Fuji TV said with an expression that seemed dissatisfied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, yes!" Director Yosuke Nakano of TV Asahi also echoed, "It suddenly shocked us!"
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, "Because it's just a personal idea, so I only discussed it with my friends in the film industry... In fact, it can only be regarded as a small fight."
"How can the Tokyo International Film Festival be just a small thing!" Kotaro Sakai of TV Tokyo interjected, "It is still launched in the name of Shuyou, Kadokawa. This is indeed a big action!"
He lowered his voice a little: "Naoki-san, tell me, how many people have joined in?"
It was an aboveboard matter, and Naoki Nagayama did not hide it:
"Currently, Shuyu, Kadokawa, Tokyo Film Journalists Association, Tokyo University of the Arts, and people from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Shochiku are also interested in participating... and have also taken the path of the International Film Producers Association...
..”
"Even the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology?"
Nagayama Naoki nodded. In fact, when Shuyou was working on "Kanji of the Year", he had contact with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The department that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is willing to participate in is called the Neon Image Promotion Association, which is dedicated to encouraging the film industry to go global, and
The planning of this film festival was a hit-and-miss affair.
The Palme d'Or award was actually partly supported by them...
After hearing this, the heads of several TV stations began to think silently. Now the possibility of holding the Tokyo International Film Festival has become much higher.
"Naoki-san...when is the film festival scheduled to be held?" Takano Kazuki asked.
"The time has not been set yet~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "But it is expected to be at the end of the year...after all, at that time, we are taking stock of movies...but it will not be postponed to the beginning of the year, otherwise it will not be the same as the movie blueprint."
Is there a conflict in the selection of ribbons, film academy awards, etc.~"
"Yeah, indeed!" "That's right~"
The directors of several TV stations agreed very much. After all, these awards are all established film selections~
"So, there's still half a year left!"
"Yes... there is plenty of preparation time..." Nagayama Naoki said with a self-deprecating smile, "After all, at the beginning, we only planned to create a small film festival...
.If the popularity is too weak, maybe it will be this time!”
"Hahaha, impossible!" "Naoki-san is joking!"
Everyone shook their heads. This kind of thing can't happen. Not to mention Nagayama Naoki's current reputation and the thoughts of other participants, just relying on 10% of the box office of "Don't Stop the Camera"... that's almost 200 million
Come on!
Such a large prize pool, even if divided into several prizes, will arouse everyone's interest!
.........
The square band on the stage sang enthusiastically and unrestrainedly. If it were any other concert, the fans in the audience would be applauding and cheering.
However, at today's celebration party, only a handful of applause was received... Everyone was whispering to each other, and the focus was obviously not on the performance~
"Otomo-san, why didn't you invite us?!"
"Shuichi-san...don't you consider us friends?!"
"President Haruki Kadokawa...how could we miss such a thing?"
Everyone who is closely related to the Tokyo International Film Festival was pestered by the guests present. Most were asking about the specifics of the project. Some businessmen also asked whether it was profitable, and some were asking about ways to join.
In addition to Kadokawa and Shochiku, Toho, Toei, Nikkatsu and other large and small film studios were also present.
However, the people who came were not high-level people who could make a single decision. Some only sent middle-level managers or representatives to express their congratulations.
None of them expected that Naoki Nagayama would actually announce this matter at the celebration party. At this time, they were in a hurry to leave early to report to other higher-level people!
Among those discussing, the young directors and actors were the most excited...
The main purpose is to promote cutting-edge films and promote film development. In addition, Nagayama Naoki specifically mentioned using the box office of "The Camera Don't Stop" as a bonus. From this, we can see the direction of the Tokyo Film Festival!
Obviously, it is to encourage emerging directors to explore avant-garde film art...and those actors are excited, and naturally they will have more opportunities to star in movies~
........
In the following celebrations, the cast members of "Kikujiro's Summer" will express their thoughts and on-site interactive activities...
Even Nagayama Naoki's father and mother were invited to the stage once by the host and asked Nagayama Naoki to take a photo with them.
However, these were all sideshows. The focus of the entire celebration was taken away by the concept of the Tokyo International Film Festival proposed by Naoki Nagayama~
"Father, mother..." Naoki Nagayama watched Ken Nagayama drink two glasses of wine after he stepped off the stage, and asked quickly, "Is everything okay?"
Mother Nanako patted her husband on the back and whispered:
"Your father is a little nervous even in front of regular customers in an izakaya. This time he is standing in front of hundreds of people, so he is naturally even more nervous!"
"No...no! I'm fine!"
Yongshan Jian argued forcefully, causing the elder brother and Tsuruko on the table to laugh silently, and even the weeds laughed happily.
"I'm going to toast to the guests later..." Nagayama Naoki shook his head and said to his relatives at the table, "Looking at the situation, it's probably a little late...
If everyone has finished eating, please go back to the suite and rest..."
"Ah, that's right~" Nagayama Naoki patted Tsuruko, "You can also go out to play, let Tsuruko take you..."
"Oumai!" Tsuruko slapped his brother's hand away in displeasure, "Where's my photo?!"
"I'll give it to you later! Haha~"
After greeting Brother Kaede and Akina's mother, Nagayama Naoki took the wine glass and headed to other tables...
After the performance at today's celebration, there will be a party. Judging from everyone's enthusiasm today, I might have to rush to the next show with a few interested people... maybe all night long~
Chieko Nakamori, who was sitting next to her, patted her daughter’s hand:
"Mingna, don't you need to help with the reception?"
"No need~" Nakamori Akina shook her head, "Naoki-san asked me to stay here with my family..."
"Naoki-san is really reliable..."
Chieko nodded very approvingly. When she was young, she had been in entertainment venues and worked as a hostess. She knew that some rich and powerful people sometimes like to show off celebrities or beautiful girls everywhere...
She was happy that her daughter had found a good future son-in-law.
Although as a celebrity, it would be very honorable to help with toasts and receptions, but Naoki Nagayama didn't want his girlfriend to be a foil. The subsequent drinking and other matters were originally a man's business.
Akina Nakamori also nodded happily, watching her boyfriend drinking and chatting with a group of people from a distance...
But I was a little worried about what I would do if I drank too much at night.
Although Nagayama Naoki has a good drinking capacity, he is not the kind of person who will never get drunk after a thousand drinks...
"When you go back in the evening, make some sobering soup..."
Nakamori Akina turned around and asked her mother how to make a more effective hangover soup...
.......
At the same time, the machine that had been silently broadcasting the live broadcast had already shown the scene of Naoki Nagayama talking to many people who were paying attention in front of the TV.
In addition to smiling at the beginning of the speech, everyone was also shocked when the subsequent declaration came out.
Toei's Yamamura Toshitaka was very concerned about Nagayama Naoki. Although he was not present, he still watched the broadcast... When the scene turned into a performance, he was mentally shocked and silently took out a
Started smoking.
"Does this guy Naoki Nagayama actually want to plan an event of this level?"
"Konoko...Does he think of himself as a representative of the Tokyo film industry?!"
"Then what do we, Toei, Toho... and other established film producers, mean to us!!!"
After finishing the cigarette, Yamamura Toshitaka finally calmed down and he thought about it silently.
Now that Nagayama Naoki has announced this plan in public, there are only two choices left for others, either to join and successfully hold this event under the leadership of Shuyu and Kadokawa...or not to participate, etc.
Watch them hold this event...
Toshitaka Yamamura never even thought about the situation that the Tokyo International Film Festival could not be held... After all, with the power of Shuyu and Kadokawa, it is just a film festival. It will be held no matter what, the only difference is the degree of influence.
.
"No..." Yamamura Toshitaka put out his cigarette butt, "We at Toei cannot stay out of this..."
No matter whether it succeeds or not, as long as Shuyu and Kadokawa are the leaders, if you want to hold a similar film festival in Tokyo in the future, you will not be able to skip these two!
They are obviously two young film production companies, but their reputation will surpass that of established companies like Toei and Toho!
This is the competition for who is the mainstream and who is the tributary in the film industry!
Yamamura Toshitaka picked up the phone and quickly started dialing!
As the beeping busy tone ended, the phone was picked up...
"Moses Moses, this is Yamamura Toshitaka... Headquarters, I want to report a situation to you..."
