After a night's sleep in the hotel arranged by the organizer, Nishino Kazuki felt refreshed. He only felt that he had slept very comfortably and his whole body was in a full state.
Today is the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival. It is customary to walk on the red carpet. Kazuki Nishino also walked there several times when he was in Japan, but he was not attending the film festival.
The opening ceremony is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. and will last approximately two hours.
At this time, Nishino Kazuki was arranging his clothes under the help of the stylist. Today's clothes are still the same as before, a custom-made high-end suit and classic leather shoes, but he specially wore a pair of black-framed plain glasses, which made him look smart.
A special temperament.
"What if no one recognizes me on the red carpet later?" Nishino Kazuki asked this question to Tajuji, who was in charge of the film's promotion.
Tian Juji glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, this is China after all, and people's aesthetics are almost the same as those in Japan. You should be able to conquer them just with your face."
"... Even so, I'm still worried." Nishino Kazuki shamelessly admitted.
Tian Juji glanced at him, and then said: "As long as you are not nervous, it will be fine. Show off your grace as a model."
Nishino Kazuki stretched his neck and thought for a while, that's right. There is always a first time at a film festival, and things will get better in the future.
"And I heard that your TV series is very popular in China." Tian Juji is in charge of publicity and distribution, and has also studied certain aspects of the Chinese market. "Although it is not as popular as in Japan, there are already many
A die-hard fan.”
Kazuki Nishino felt relieved when he thought about the fans who picked him up at the airport.
After all, the whole environment is there, and it is difficult to make big strides in development. This time is just an attempt.
"After the meeting in the afternoon, there will be a red carpet. After the red carpet, we will enter the cinema to watch the opening film of the film festival, "Chilling 2"."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet of the Shanghai Film Festival started on time. The time here is one hour earlier than in Japan, so it is now seven o'clock in Japan.
On the Internet, the opening ceremony was broadcast live.
In Nishino Kazuki's support club, many fans were waiting in front of the computer, listening to the unfamiliar language on the video screen and looking forward to it.
Kitagawa Aoi, the president of the cheering club, was the most nervous. As the founder of the cheering website, she had to record the video and screenshot Nishino Kazuki and send it to the cheering forum.
Now that Kazuki Nishino is very popular, support websites have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and various websites are also competing with each other.
Therefore, some of Nishino Kazuki's resources are also a point for them to compete for his "favor". Although Nishino Kazuki may not know it originally, several cheering clubs are holding their breath.
Kitagawa Aoi originally wanted to go to Shanghai, buy a ticket for the premiere of Nishino Kazuki's movie, and support him in person at the starring meeting. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the two-day schedule. Something unexpected happened, so she had to retreat.
Secondly, please take up the task of recording videos.
On the contrary, her best friend Keiko bought tickets for the film festival with the help of a Chinese student studying abroad. She left Japan for Shanghai early yesterday morning, which really made her envious.
.......
Before departure, the stylist checked the clothes again and nodded with satisfaction before letting Nishino Kazuki leave.
Arriving at the venue by car, Nishino Kazuki got out of the car and waited for instructions from the staff.
There was a host introducing the scene, and there were various reporters on both sides playing with the cameras. With the sound of the spotlights clicking, Kazuki Nishino also stepped onto the red carpet.
"Looking at our camera, there is another guest who is ready." The female host placed the script and said the introduction, "He is the Japanese male star Kazuki Nishino from the crew of the movie "Seto Inland Sea".
Let us welcome him."
Nishino Kazuki walked out from one end of the red carpet with his head held high and gentle steps. He held the pre-prepared mascot of the film festival-a little tiger in his hand, and then walked to the other end with a reserved smile.
.
"This guy is kind of handsome." A director's female partner stood behind and said quietly to the man.
"What, want to get to know each other?" The director smiled, "Young guys, they are all quite handsome."
"I just don't know how my acting skills are?"
The two were chatting, and Nishino Kazuki had already walked to the middle.
Then he stopped in front of a red billboard with sponsor logos printed on it, turned around to face the media, and posed in a rather coquettish manner, allowing the reporters to take various photos.
After the filming, Nishino Kazuki was arranged by the staff and walked into the venue.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a familiar person, Shunji Iwai, and Kazuki Nishino. This director is basically famous in the entertainment industry.
"Iwai-san!" Nishino Kazuki shouted and ran over to say hello.
"It's Nishino-san, it's our first time meeting you."
It seems that Shunji Iwai also knows me, so that’s the best thing.
The two said hello.
Shunji Iwai came to the Shanghai Film Festival with his film "Rip Van Winkle's Bride", and the investment and cast were much higher than those of Kazuki Nishino's film.
"Nishino-kun, long time no see." A man in a navy suit came up from the other side and said to him.
The visitor is the veteran Japanese actor Tsuyoshi Ayano, with whom Kazuki Nishino had previously collaborated on a television program.
"Ayano-san, long time no see." Nishino Kazuki showed a smile.
The two nodded to each other and shook hands.
"I first saw Nishino-kun on a variety show, and he had just debuted." Ayano smiled and said to Shunji Iwai, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would already be attending the red carpet at the International Film Festival."
Ayano Tsuyoshi is the leading actor in "Rip Van Winkle's Bride". This film has also entered the main competition section of the competition, but there is not much hope of winning the award. There may be hope for the Newcomer Actor Award, but in fact
He and Nishino Kazuki are quite competitive.
Although there is a lot of difference in seniority.
"Director Omori hasn't come yet?" Shunji Iwai has long black hair for a man, wears thin-framed glasses, and looks like he has a strong artistic flair.
His film "Love Letter" is a household name in Japan. It caused a sensation in Japan with its fresh and touching story and bright and beautiful images. Its influence spread throughout Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States. It was regarded by many film critics as a new Japanese film movement.
One of the most important works in.
Nishino Kazuki had seen this film in his previous life in China, and the final scene of the heroine shocked him to the core.
"Director Omori should be here already."
Omori Tatsuki came with the rest of the team. His task is different from Nishino Kazuki. He also has to promote his own movie. If other countries are willing to import, then they must invite them to watch the premiere, and then
Let’s talk about price.
"What does Director Iwai think of our film?" Kazuki Nishino wanted to know the evaluation of his film in the eyes of professionals.
"I watched the trailer and it was very interesting. I quite like Omori-san's shooting method this time."
Iwai Shunji is a literary director, and Omori Tatsuji happens to be too. Their styles are similar and they appreciate each other.
"Then you must come to the premiere of the movie when you have time." Nishino Kazuki, this can be regarded as helping the movie to gain popularity." "Ayano-san, you too."
"OK."
Both of them agreed, and then extended an invitation to Nishino Kazuki.
