In June, Nishino Kazuki embarked on a journey to the Shanghai Film Festival with director Omori Tatsutsuki's team and Tajuji, who was in charge of publicity.
The time difference between China and Japan is only one hour, so Kazuki Nishino and his party arrived in Shanghai only one day early.
He came out of Pudong Airport and looked around at the surrounding environment. The familiar words and language gave him a strange feeling in his heart.
The organizer's pick-up staff was already waiting there. Nishino Kazuki came out of the passage and heard a scream as soon as he showed his head.
Wearing a mask, he looked up and saw a group of people leaning on the railing, holding their own support items and shouting Nishino Kazuki's name in broken Japanese.
Nishino Kazuki didn't expect that he would be able to enjoy the treatment of being picked up by fans here, and he was a little flattered. After all, he is very famous in Japan, but in China, TV series and other things are only circulated on the Internet, so he didn't expect that there would still be
Few fans.
Omori Tatsuji and Nishino Kazuki were walking side by side. After seeing this group of fans, he turned his head and looked at him and said, "It seems that you are very famous, Nishino-kun."
Nishino Kazuki waved his hands and said nothing.
He pushed a silver suitcase, stopped in place, and then took off the mask on his face with his hands.
The surrounding fans naturally exclaimed again.
Then Kazuki Nishino continued walking, waving to the fans beside him and thanking him as he walked.
"Thank you, thank you." Nishino Kazuki said in Chinese.
After fans heard him speak Chinese, they shouted louder than before, and even saw a certain girl waving her hands in excitement.
Of course Kazuki Nishino can demonstrate Chinese in China, but he also wants to show it off and wait until the movie meeting to demonstrate it, which will definitely shock the fans.
Afterwards, we walked through the aisle and successfully met the staff who came to pick us up from the organizer, and took their business car to the InterContinental Hotel in Shanghai.
Today's Shanghai Film Festival is a big year for Chinese films. There are three films that have been promoted to the main competition of the Golden Goblet Award. They are "The Chaser" starring Liu Ye, and "Delan" directed by Liu Jie.
The film "The Soul on the Leather Cord" was adapted from the novel by Tibetan writer Tashi Dawa, and these three films have great reputations for winning awards in the outside world.
As for other Asian movies, there is a Filipino movie and a Thai movie that are also pretty good.
The main competition unit of the Shanghai Film Festival is divided into three parts. One part is the highlight, which is the Golden Goblet Award, which is the most important awards event of the film festival. Best actors and actresses are all produced here. The second part is the Asian Newcomer Award. Basically
It was given to a new actor who had just shot a movie. Kazuki Nishino had been notified before that he was likely to win this award. The third part was the Mobile Film Festival Short Film Competition, which received very little attention.
Omori Tatsuji's "Seto Inland Sea" definitely has no idea of winning the Golden Goblet Award, but there may be hope for other unimportant awards, because the story of this movie is not that strong and the structure is simple.
After checking into the hotel, Kazuki Nishino took a rest. In the afternoon, he would be interviewed by many Chinese media. Tomorrow he would be walking the red carpet and premiere, and the day after tomorrow he would attend the movie premiere and meet and greet with Chinese fans.
They communicate.
Nishino Kazuki had just rested for a while when his assistant Suzuki Takuya knocked on the door of his room.
After entering the door, Suzuki Takuya stood still, holding his mobile phone and said: "Nishino-san, a Chinese media has come to interview. They have opened a room and told you to come when you are ready."
The time for this interview was also agreed upon before.
Nishino Kazuki nodded to express his understanding, then packed up his clothes, and was led by Suzuki Takuya to the interview location.
The interviewer this time is "Watching Movies", a film magazine from China. As a magazine that moved from Sichuan to Shanghai a few years ago, it has become one of the best-selling domestic film magazines.
When Nishino Kazuki entered the room, three people were already waiting for him.
One is the reporter who is mainly responsible for interviewing, the other is the recorder, and the third is the translator.
"Mr. Nishino, welcome, thank you for accepting our interview." The middle-aged man with short hair smiled at Nishino Kazuki. After speaking, he looked at the translator wearing glasses who was about to speak.
, but unexpectedly Nishino Kazuki spoke first.
"Hello, I am honored to be interviewed by your magazine."
Nishino Kazuki's standard Mandarin shocked the middle-aged man.
"Eh? Mr. Nishino, do you know Chinese?"
The four of them were shocked, and even Suzuki Takuya had his mouth wide open.
He had never heard of Nishino Kazuki having this skill.
"I taught myself in school before, so I can speak a little bit."
This is actually just like what Conan's father taught him in Hawaii, it's all lies.
But the other people don't know. The reporter thought that this was just a little bit, and it was even more standard than what he said.
"That's much more convenient. Come on, please take a seat." The person in charge of the interview was named Zhu Mingyue, a special correspondent from "Watching Movies". He asked Nishino Kazuki to sit on the sofa, and then he sat down next to him.
, the two faced each other across the small brown table, and then they brought two cups of tea and placed them on it.
"Thanks."
"I, Zhu Mingyue, am a reporter from Film Magazine." He also introduced himself.
"My name is Nishino Kazuki, please give me your advice." Nishino Kazuki said in Chinese.
"Then I will ask questions directly in Chinese for this interview, okay?" Zhu Mingyue asked Nishino Kazuki.
"sure."
The translator also skipped work and sat leisurely on the edge.
"Then let the interview begin."
"OK."
"Film Magazine" did a special analysis of the films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Shanghai Film Festival, and the Japanese film "Seto Inland Sea" was assigned to Zhu Mingyue. Interviewing the leading actors was also one of the tasks he had to do. I thought it was casual.
Just ask some questions. I didn't expect this person to be so fluent in Chinese. Maybe he can expand a bit more.
"What do you think of Mr. Nishino's approach to the movie "Seto Inland Sea"?"
This question is quite satisfactory and is best used as an opening question.
Nishino Kazuki thought for a while and replied: "This movie is the first style that director Omori has tried. First of all, I think it is very real and is something that everyone has experienced in their youthful memories. Secondly, it is also relaxed and thoughtful."
It’s a movie, if you want to watch it in a relaxed mood, it’s okay to try to interpret it, that’s the best thing.”
Nishino Kazuki answered this question in Chinese words, and the recorder on the other side also recorded his words.
"So what are your thoughts on shooting a movie for the first time?"
Zhu Yueming had of course investigated Nishino Kazuki before coming here and had done detailed homework. He knew that Nishino Kazuki was a beginner in filmmaking, but he had considerable influence in Japan.
"Of course, first of all, I find it very interesting. The movie brings me not only happiness but also a different mood when I enter the movie. That feeling is different from the TV series, which makes me very comfortable."
"The second thing is satisfaction. Acting in a movie makes me very satisfied. I'm very excited when I think the movie can be played on the big screen."
These questions had been thought up before, and Nishino Kazuki could answer them casually.
"Movie Magazine" asked many questions, and Nishino Kazuki also answered them appropriately. After Zhu Yueming returned, he deleted them one by one and selected some more meaningful questions and put them in the next issue of the magazine.
Nishino Kazuki didn't care, it was just a simple interview.
After saying hello and leaving the room, Kazuki Nishino went to the next place to be interviewed by TV stations and media from Japan.
