The night gradually darkened, the dim street lights were lit one after another, and the flashing neon lights started work on time, just like social animals who need to work overtime, on time and on time.
The noisy sounds floated back and forth over the streets, filling every corner near the cinema. Chirping conversations were mixed in, adding a bit of excitement to the disturbing excitement.
"The red carpet has begun...."
I don’t know who suddenly shouted something loudly, and the originally scattered crowd suddenly became commotion, running towards the cinema one after another, bravely moving forward one by one, frightening the security personnel who tried their best to stop them.
Fortunately, the surging crowd still retained some sense and did not really push forward with all their strength. Otherwise, the weak defense line formed by security personnel might not be able to stop it.
In the cheers of the crowd waving banners and glow sticks, the well-dressed artists took turns walking onto the red carpet one by one. They walked slowly in front of the flashing cameras, with standard smiles on their faces, and rushed from time to time.
Wave to the fans.
They are worthy of being artists. Faced with the flashing lights, they didn't have any stage fright in front of the camera. They didn't even blink, as if the dazzling lights didn't exist.
In comparison, Masahiro Nakamura's performance was slightly weaker. He squinted his eyes slightly, resisted the urge to blink, ignored the dazzling light, and then walked down the red carpet with Minister Shibata.
.
Although Masahiro Nakamura is the director of the movie "A Long Day" and has become famous in the entertainment circle with his nomination at the Berlin Film Festival, it is obviously not attractive to the peripheral crowd.
After all, there were so many artists attending the event in costumes, especially the gorgeous female artists, that they couldn't even look at them, so how could they care about the unknown newcomer Masahiro Nakamura?
So what if Masahiro Nakamura is handsome? Is he as handsome as Takuya Kimura? Even if he becomes famous in the entertainment industry, is his popularity as high as Takuya Kimura's? As for influence, is his influence as big as Takuya Kimura's? "Nakamura-san, don't worry, reporters are all like this..."
The red carpet was not long, only a few dozen meters long, and there was no deliberate dilly-dallying, so the two of them walked quickly. Before the host of the interview came up, Minister Shibata spoke in a low voice to comfort Nakamura Masahiro.
.
During this section of the red carpet just now, Nakamura Masahiro was supposed to enjoy the baptism of flashlights, but in the end, the reporters didn't show much respect, and only scattered flashlights came on from time to time.
Although Nakamura Masahiro's face was calm and there was no visible change in his mood, the tightly pursed corners of his mouth still revealed his true mood.
"Whoever is well-known and popular, they will follow him like swarms and take pictures non-stop..."
"Hi, I understand this, don't worry."
Of course Masahiro Nakamura understands the nature of reporters, otherwise how could there be the equation reporter = chicken. Therefore, he actually doesn’t care much about the attitude of those reporters, he is just a little unhappy.
After all, it was my first time to walk on the red carpet. Not to mention enjoying the treatment of a star, it was also nice to bathe in the flashlights. Unfortunately, those jerks didn't give me any face and didn't cooperate at all.
"That's good...when you actually win the award at the Berlin Film Festival, they will surround you like dogs and compliment you..."
Minister Shibata smiled at Nakamura Masahiro, and the playfulness in his tone was palpable. As a manager of Toho Company, he has been exposed to these uncrowned kings on a daily basis, so he knows their nature well.
"Boss Shibata, please say hello to everyone."
The host is a news anchor seconded from TBS TV station. Her bright and charming appearance is comparable to that of a star. Her face is filled with a warm smile, and she holds the microphone and reaches it in front of Minister Shibata.
"Hello everyone, I am Shibata..."
The smile on his lips was a bit forced. Minister Shibata smiled politely, briefly greeted the microphone, and stepped aside.
"Let Director Nakamura say hello to everyone, he is the protagonist today."
"Hi...Director Nakamura, please say hello to everyone too."
The host's bright smile has not changed at all. Compared with the seriousness during the TV news broadcast, it seems to be a little more playful at this moment.
"Hello everyone, I am Masahiro Nakamura...."
Lowering his head and getting closer to the microphone, Nakamura Masahiro said hello in a calm tone. Then he looked at the crowd watching him, and after a slight pause, he continued: "I hope everyone likes the movie "One Long Day."
”
This occasion was not suitable for long speeches, and Nakamura Masahiro had nothing to say. After finishing his brief words, he took a step sideways and got out of the range of the microphone.
"Thank you, Director Shibata and Director Nakamura, please come in..."
The host took back the microphone and sent off Minister Shibata and Masahiro Nakamura in a cooperative manner. Since neither of them wanted to say more, it was hard for her to try too hard to persuade them to stay.
Soon, a well-known artist walked onto the red carpet, immediately attracting the attention of reporters and audiences. Minister Shibata and Masahiro Nakamura who had just passed by were forgotten by them in the blink of an eye.
Because the red carpet is not over yet, there are not many people in the museum at this time. They gather in small groups in twos and threes, forming independent small circles.
Under the introduction of Minister Shibata, Nakamura Masahiro got to know a lot of people in the industry: it was not to say that they knew each other, they just said hello, and they were barely familiar.
For example, director Yuki Mitani, a well-known director in the industry, has a long-term cooperative relationship with Toho, and many of his works are distributed by Toho.
For example, Director Hirokazu Kore-eda is a new generation director in the entertainment industry. He once made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival and won the Best Actor Award at the age of 14, beating Tony Leung Chiu-wai.
No matter how they feel about Nakamura Masahiro, the young new supervisor, everyone's outward attitude is very friendly, and there is nothing wrong with him.
After all, this is Masahiro Nakamura’s home court, and Director Shibata, a powerful figure in Toho Company, is in charge, so no one will show off with a low EQ.
Time passed bit by bit, and as the noise outside gradually became silent, the museum began to become lively. After a while, everyone moved to the largest auditorium in the cinema.
Under the gaze of everyone, the host strolled onto the stage in front of the screen. First he gave a humorous opening statement, then briefly introduced the information about the movie, and then invited the creative team Masahiro Nakamura and Yosuke Mukai to the stage. Yosuke Mukai arrived earlier than Masahiro Nakamura, but because he was busy getting to know people in the industry, Masahiro Nakamura had not seen him before.
"Supervisor Nakamura, please say a few words to everyone."
After promoting the movie "A Long Day" as usual, the host handed over the topic to Nakamura Masahiro and Mukai Yosuke.
Compared to Nakamura Masahiro's brief speech, Mukai Yosuke seemed a little excited. Perhaps it was because he was really frustrated living in Tokyo. After telling some anecdotes during the filming of the movie, he couldn't help but complain a few words. How can you say something like this on this occasion?!!!
The host was so frightened that he quickly took back the microphone, said a few supplementary words, and hurriedly ended the prelude amidst everyone's knowing laughter.
Then, the lights in the theater suddenly went out, and the noisy slight noises gradually subsided and became quiet. Suddenly, a quiet atmosphere enveloped me.
After about a few seconds, the screen began to light up, and as Toho's opening logo faded into darkness, the screening of the movie "A Long Day" officially began.
Nakamura Masahiro didn't watch much of the movie, and focused all his attention on the auditorium at the back. The professional evaluation was not bad, after all, many people in the industry have watched it, and their evaluations are not low either.
Only in terms of ordinary audiences, Nakamura Masahiro is a little unsure. Most people watch movies and don’t want to accept many profound truths or gain too many insights into life. They just want to get a little short-term joy in addition to the dull and depressing life.
Enjoy.
Therefore, Masahiro Nakamura attaches great importance to the feedback from ordinary audiences. Although the awards have been guaranteed, if there is something to gain at the box office, which supervisor can refuse?
The movie continued to play, and the plot slowly unfolded bit by bit. The entire theater was extremely quiet, and the air seemed to be frozen. Except for the occasional slight breathing sound, there was no other noise.
With the help of filters and plot, Yosuke Mukai in the movie deeply caught the attention of almost everyone. The middle-aged man exuding a decadent atmosphere just showed his charm on the screen. p>
He doesn't have the passion of Wang Dao Animation, nor the humor of comedy, nor the innocence of youth themes. He is just like thousands of ordinary social animals in Japan, cruel and real.
It was an indescribable sense of immersion. Looking at Yosuke Mukai on the screen, it was like seeing myself in daily life, and there was a wonderful sense of absurdity.
The lights suddenly turned on, and many people were still immersed in the atmosphere of the movie. The host walked onto the stage. He wanted to speak, but faced with this scene, he could only wait quietly for everyone to calm down. p>
After a while, I don’t know who took the lead and started applauding. The sparse applause soon gathered into a warm ocean, echoing in the theater.
Many people in the industry in the front row looked back at the audience behind them: Although the movie was good, the performance of these audiences was a bit excessive! Could they be extras arranged by Toho?
