Chapter 582 589, The Blue Ribbon Film Awards Are Not Clean Anymore

Chapter 582 589, Blue Ribbon Film Awards. Not clean~~~

The Blue Ribbon Film Awards ceremony was held in a banquet hall at Tokyo Prince Hotel.

When Naoki Nagayama arrived, many reporters had gathered at the door. This was a film award hosted by the Tokyo Film Journalists Association, so it was naturally popular in the media circle.

"Naoki-san, do I have to hold your arm later?" Akina Nakamori, who was sitting in the back row with Naoki Nagayama, seemed a little nervous. This was her first time to attend a film awards ceremony.

"There are no rules~ Just walk elegantly~ Just like taking a magazine photo~"

Seeing the car approaching the venue, Naoki Nagayama has already seen the cameras at the door, but the Blue Ribbon Awards did not have a red carpet ceremony, which is really unsociable~

"Naoki-san, we are here." Kawahara Takeharu, who was driving, said, "According to the admission process, all shuttle buses must stop here."

"Okay then~"

After Kawahara Takeharu parked the car, Naoki Nagayama opened the door and walked out, then waited for Akina Nakamori for a while.

The sound of photos kept ringing, and white lights flashed from time to time, making it difficult to see the road under your feet.

Although Akina Nakamori has experienced many media interviews, there are still few opportunities for her to be photographed in the face as soon as she gets out of the car, and in the past, her agent and staff helped to block her from a distance.

With a little nervousness, Akina subconsciously approached her boyfriend after she stood firm, and then her hand unconsciously linked up~

The photographers who had been waiting for a long time saw another car stop, and they knew that another star had arrived, and even prepared the flash.

"That's Naoki Nagayama!" A reporter exclaimed, and then immediately focused, "Mr. Naoki Nagayama, look here!"

"."

The colleagues were shocked by his shamelessness. In the past, when they took photos of the stars entering the award ceremony together, everyone just took pictures silently. Even if that person was a hot spot, even if it could bring traffic, it depends on us reporters!

However, as another girl in a white dress walked out of the car door, many reporters were stunned for a moment.

"Did Naoki Nagayama bring a female companion?" "The playboy Naoki brought a female companion to the award ceremony!" "That person is... Akina Nakamori?!" "She is the heroine of "Love Letter", of course she can come."

But when Akina Nakamori took Naoki Nagayama's arm, many reporters paused for a moment, and then started to shout:

"Holding!" "Quickly take pictures!" "Reveal!" "Naoki Nagayama, Akina Nakamori, look here!" "Are you dating?!"

The noisy inquiries and the sound of the camera clicking intertwined, coupled with the continuous flash that suddenly lit up, made the short distance from the car door to the main entrance of the venue seem very long

But Akina Nakamori felt the solid strength coming from her hand, so she didn't panic, but walked over calmly.

The combination of light blue suit and white dress made the two look like a perfect couple.

The cameras of all reporters followed these two hot spots in the entertainment industry, and no one paid attention to the famous director Shuichi Ido who arrived right after them!

When they arrived at the venue, it was quiet all of a sudden. Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori walked to the seats marked on the seating chart. As they were the main creators of the movie "Love Letter" nominated for many awards, they sat very close to the front, and there were many familiar stars.

The surrounding area was almost all nominated film teams and people who had the hope of winning. Naoki Nagayama saw Sayuri Yoshinaga and Ken Takakura, who were not very familiar, and Keiko Matsuzaka and Mieko Harada, who were considered familiar.

In addition, there was Yuko Tanaka who was sitting next to Naoki Nagayama.

"Yuko-san!" Naoki Nagayama greeted happily, "Long time no see."

"Naoki-san, can't you just call and have dinner together?" Yuko Tanaka teased in a familiar way, "Oh, so you have a new love!"

Akina Nakamori felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She was an idol and didn't know many artists in the film industry. She mostly just knew this person. After all, they were from different fields.

"It's our first meeting. I'm Akina Nakamori. Please give me your guidance." Akina's formal greeting surprised Yuko Tanaka.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yuko Tanaka." Yuko Tanaka replied and laughed, "Haha, Akina-chan, don't be so serious, the award ceremony is very relaxed~"

After all, most of the awards have been decided~

While Yuko Tanaka and Akina Nakamori were chatting, Naoki Nagayama greeted everyone he knew around him, and actually saw Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda in the distance. Sure enough, directors still have to give face to the awards in the film industry!

Unlike the Japan Academy Awards, the Japan Film Blue Ribbon Awards only have seven major awards.

According to convention, the emcee is hosted by the best actor and actress of the previous film Blue Ribbon Awards, so after the award ceremony officially began, the best actor and actress of the previous Japan Film Blue Ribbon Awards, Atsumi Kiyoshi, and the best actress, Natsume Masako, walked onto the stage.

"Welcome to the award ceremony of this year's Japan Film Blue Ribbon Awards"

As an old actor, Atsumi Kiyoshi was not nervous about hosting the award ceremony and spoke smoothly. Although Natsume Masako didn't say much, she also cooperated well.

"Speaking of which, there are so many excellent works in Showa 58 that it's hard to count them all!" Atsumi Kiyoshi joked, "Masako-san, which movies do you remember most?"

"Ah, there are too many, "Narayama Festival", "Antarctic Story", "Snow" and "Love Letter"." Natsume Masako said it smoothly.

"Hahaha, it seems Masako-san has named all the films nominated for this year's Best Film Award!"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Although it was a bit cliched for the two of them to act stupid on stage, the awards ceremony went on smoothly. Clips from several movies and the corresponding reasons for the selections began to be shown on the big screen.

The VCR ended with a dubbing. When the light focused on the host, Atsumi Kiyoshi named the winner of the best picture:

"The best film in this year's Japanese Film Blue Ribbon Award is - "Narayama Festival"! Let us congratulate director Shohei Imamura."

There is no surprise for Naoki Nagayama. It is indeed "Narayama Festival". This film has already won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival abroad, so this year's Blue Ribbon and Film Academy Award will most likely belong to him.

Listening to the director's acceptance speech, it was actually quite boring. After all, what was said here was all about spectacle, and not many people liked to watch it.

But it would be different if the Best Director award were given to me.

""Love Letter". With unparalleled lens language, it brings the audience back to their youthful days. The secret love of teenagers is bitter and sweet. It is a beautiful memory that a person will cherish throughout his life."

Natsume Masako's soft voice seems to draw people into the movie "Love Letter", "Best Director Award Winner - Naoki Nagayama, "Love Letter"."

Nagayama Naoki walked onto the stage amidst the applause of the crowd, and took the certificate handed over by the presenter with some numbness. Yes, it is also called a certificate of award.

"Director Naoki Nagayama, as the youngest recipient of the Japan Blue Ribbon Award for Best Director, do you have anything to say?" Atsumi Qing left the microphone to Naoki Nagayama.

"Thank you to the Japan Film Blue Ribbon Award Jury Committee for the opportunity." He usually began, "When I was filming the movie "Love Letter," I never expected to win the award."

"The movie only took less than a month to shoot. I was in a hurry to finish filming before it snowed in Tokyo."

Natsume Masako was very curious: "Huh? Less than a month?!"

"Yes, it's very tight. The actors' schedules were all squeezed out, and the shooting process was divided into several times." Naoki Nagayama said that the movie was like a low-cost movie made crudely by a small workshop.

This made many directors in the audience look very unhappy, especially Kinji Fukasaku who insisted on attending.

How can a movie you make so casually win the Best Director Award? ! So who are these directors who spend a year or two making movies? Idiot? !

The buzzing discussion attracted the attention of the stage, and Atsumi Kiyo and Natsume Masako quickly made a few interruptions to lighten the atmosphere.

Although Fukasaku Kinji was weak in body, he was still energetic. He had divorced his wife and whispered to Matsuzaka Keiko beside him:

"This Naoki Nagayama pretends not to care because of his reputation, but in fact he doesn't know how happy he is!"

Matsusaka Keiko could only nod slightly in agreement, but after looking at the young and handsome Naoki Nagayama in the stands, and then at the haggard old man with chicken skin and black hair next to her, she could only sigh in her heart:

"It would be great if the person next to me could be Naoki Nagayama!"

When he was about to say it, looking at all the people in the audience, especially Shuichi-san's eyes looking directly at him, Nagayama Naoki sighed. Before coming, Shuichi Itou had asked him to please him, and they all moved Jiayi-chan. Out.

(Itou Shuichi took Nagayama Naoki's arm: Naoki-san, for the sake of Kayi-chan, just obey me this time! Just say one more thing at the last moment!)

"in addition."

Nagayama Naoki even closed his eyes: "Shuyu Pictures will soon release the latest movie "Love Will End Like the Rain", which is also about youth love. I hope everyone can pay more attention to it!"

Hearing this, the two hosts, Atsumi Kiyo and Natsume Masako, were stunned. This was the first recipient in history to advertise during his acceptance speech! ! !

"Buzz buzz"

There was a wave of heated discussions in the audience, mostly arguments. Some people were curious about the new movie, some were thinking about joining, but more people were surprised and devastated.

Among them, Fukasaku Kinji became even more excited: "Hahaha, Keiko-chan, look, you're just trying to get fame! You've actually started promoting a new movie!"

On the stage, Atsumi Kiyo showed off his skills as an experienced actor and smiled quickly:

"Hahaha, it seems that Director Naoki is very optimistic about the new movie. Let us also wish the new movie a big hit!"

"Hi, Arigado~"

Naoki Nagayama walked off the podium under the strange looks of everyone. What greeted him at his seat were Shuichi Itou's approving eyes, and Yuko Tanaka's approving eyes: "You're quite capable, Naoki-san~"

Seeing that the minor turmoil subsided, the hosts Atsumi Kiyoshi and Natsume Masako breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the award ceremony for the next award.

After a clip from the movie played, Atsumi Kiyoshi announced the winner of Best Actor:

"Best Actor - Takakura Ken, "Antarctic Story"! Now let's invite the director of TV Tokyo to present him with the award!"

The unsmiling Ken Takakura walked up to the podium and exuded a powerful aura without even speaking a word. The audience felt that the iron-clad Showa man was coming towards him.

When awarding awards, it seemed that even the award-giving guests did not dare to be too casual and stood up straight.

Kiyori Atsumi naturally knew Ken Takakura, and she slightly guided his acceptance speech: "Ken Takakura, what is your biggest feeling from filming "Antarctica" this time?"

Ken Takakura was silent for a moment: "In the harsh environment of Antarctica, sled dogs can still survive, there are penguins in Antarctica, and other animals. Life still exists under the vast snow! This makes me feel the power of life!"

This profound speech made everyone on and off the stage listen very seriously, and they seemed to have the same feelings as Ken Takakura.

Then Kiyori Atsumi guided some questions about acting and production, and Ken Takakura answered them one by one.

At the end: "So, Ken Takakura-san, do you have anything else you want to share with everyone?"

Atsumi Kiyoshi was very close, and he clearly saw a hesitant expression on Ken Takakura's hard face. He looked at a certain place in the audience and then spoke reluctantly as if he had received instructions:

"Ahem.

Finally, the drama film "Yaksha" starring Ken Takakura, Yuko Tanaka, and Takeshi Kitano is in production. It tells the story of a retired gangster who re-enters the Yaksha path. I hope everyone will pay more attention to it!"

"."

The atmosphere at the scene was silent for a while, and then there was a more intense discussion than before, and everyone felt something was wrong.

Takakura Ken, who are you? The representative of Showa men, you are also playing this trick on the stage? ! Where is your integrity? ! Where is your image? !

Even Atsumi Kiyoshi and Natsume Masako didn't know whether to continue for the time being!

Naoki Nagayama asked Tanaka Yuko curiously: "Yuko-san, is it true? Are you going to shoot this "Yaksha"? "

"Hi, but the film has just been approved and hasn't started shooting yet." Tanaka Yuko was covering her mouth with surprise, "I didn't expect Ken Takakura-san to start promoting it at this time!"

"Hahaha, yes, it's surprising." Naoki Nagayama laughed. With someone to accompany him, the embarrassment just now seemed to be reduced a little.

Tanaka Yuko rolled her eyes at Naoki Nagayama: "I think it's Naoki-san who started it!"

However, it seems that Tanaka Yuko's words have come true, or everyone has realized that the most influential awards ceremony in the film industry, as long as you let go of a little face, it will be a powerful promotion channel!

So the next best actress is Sayuri Yoshinaga's "The Makioka Snow".

"Finally, the movie "Heaven's Station" starring me, adapted from real events, will be released in a few months. I hope everyone will support it."

Best Supporting Actor - Tsuyoshi Kazama, "Theater of Life"

"Next, please support the movie I star in!"

Best Supporting Actress - Atsuko Asano, "Yokai-ro"

"Finally, the movie I star in will be released soon. I hope everyone will support it."

Atsumi Kiyoshi and Natsume Masako feel that this year's Japan Film Blue Ribbon Award seems unclean!!!

It is obviously a sacred award, but it actually has the smell of money and fame.

Atsumi Kiyoshi, who has been in the entertainment industry for so long, has a hunch: starting from this year, the Japan Film Blue Ribbon Award or other film awards should have similar speeches!!!

Akina seemed a little nervous in the audience. She pulled Naoki Nagayama's arm and whispered:

"Naoki-san, if I go on stage, should I also promote my new movie?!"

"But I don't have a movie! Should I promote my new album?!"

She looked like she was about to cry~

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "Akina doesn't need to say anything! She didn't need to say anything in her previous speeches."

At this moment, Natsume Masako's voice rang out: "The winner of this year's Best Newcomer Award is Nakamori Akina! "Love Letter"!"

The little girl quickly stood up and walked towards the stage.

"Akina-chan, how do you feel about your first movie appearance?"

Akina Nakamori hesitated for a moment and gave her all-purpose answer:

"It's like a dream~"

This caused a burst of laughter in the audience.

Natsume Masako didn't want to do anything weird at the last minute, so she guided the questions normally, thinking about completing this award ceremony smoothly.

But at the end, she still asked with some worry: "Does Akina-chan have plans to make the next movie?"

"Not yet. The company hopes that I will focus on the new record album in the short term."

"Is that so? This is indeed very important." Natsume Masako breathed a sigh of relief, "Then is there anything else Akina-chan wants to share?"

Is it finally time?

Akina Nakamori's brain was spinning rapidly. The previous winners had already made samples, but it was a pity that she didn't have the next movie.

But it seemed a pity to miss this opportunity. Should she really just say thank you or gratitude?

The girl's eyes drifted to her boyfriend in the audience. Naoki Nagayama was looking at her with encouragement. She should also contribute to her boyfriend's career!

Wait, what did Naoki-san say before? What was the name of his next movie?

Akina Nakamori suddenly recalled what she had said during the previous chat.

"Finally."

"The new movie "April Story" directed by Naoki Nagayama will be released soon. It is a movie about youth love. I hope everyone will pay attention to it!"

"Hahaha~" "Zundu jidu?" "Isn't it called "Love Like the Rain Stops"? ""New movie?"

The audiences in the audience suddenly started to discuss noisily. Everyone was very curious about the final surprise!

Especially some audiences and guests who were just watching the show were even more curious about the relationship between Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama. They actually asked other winners to help promote their movies?

Is this okay?
