Tokyo Literature and Art Times

However, this matter is not simple.

This year, oh yes, it should be next year's Japan Film Academy Awards. The issue of this award is really not simple.

He has also watched "Nobody Knows". For this movie... Takeshi Iwata really knows how to shoot it.

Cinematically speaking, this movie is really good.

The gentle lens, the calm film language, the warmth of the family, everything is that kind of beautiful feeling.

But in the end, there was a huge reversal, and the elder brother who was taking care of the younger siblings accidentally killed the younger sister.

It was like a punch to the heart.

Moreover, it was still a very calm punch.

Great, really great.

This guy's previous gangster films actually had a lot of scenes that were very artistic.

That kind of strong sense of literature and art is definitely not something that ordinary people can shoot.

Well, what on earth was he thinking?

Why send a yakuza to some art university?

These complaints are of course useless.

In fact, the key to this matter lies in the issue of awards.

The Japanese Academy of Film Awards, also known as the Japanese Oscars.

The deadline for this award is not as dead as stipulated.

According to the Oscars in the United States, after all, ours is a copycat Oscar, so the deadline for the awards should be set to end in December.

However, because of Japan's special habit, that is, the deadline for many old-fashioned film awards is set at the end of November.

December movies are counted towards next year.

Therefore, the "flexible time" of the Japanese Academy of Film Awards is originally a kind of progress, but also a kind of compromise.

After all, this is the real Oscar without a complete scholar.

But in this matter, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Kinji Fukasaku is very clear that right-wing groups in Japan intend to make some articles through this film.

This probably has a lot to do with the election of Hosokawa Morohei as prime minister.

This person is the first non-Liberal Democratic Party person to win the general election and win the prime minister after the war in Japan.

The Liberal Democratic Party is the largest right wing in Japan. Of course, it is too general to say that, after all, there are many pro-China hilltops.

But now, many people have come out of this party and formed a new mountain, at least united under Hosokawa Mori.

Well, the original old guys, that is, the old conservative right-wing forces, of course they have to do something.

This "Nobody Knows" has been discussed and discussed before, and it happens to have a direct relationship with Hosokawa.

It is also very necessary to do it again now.

Do it all at once and win votes.

Fukasaku Kinji is worthy of being a well-known and scheming supervisor, he has seen through these things.

As for the judging that prevented the film from getting to the Japan Film Academy Awards, that's part of it.

Those right-wing old politicians are constantly launching offensives against this film, so, no matter how loud the opposition is, it will be the season of Japanese film awards soon.

As long as this "Nobody Knows" has any performance during this period, that is to say, it won't win any awards.

Then this one just shows that what they sprayed is right.

You must know that human memory is time-sensitive, and elections are even more so.

As long as this movie is placed next year, no matter how many awards are given by the Academy Awards next year, then it doesn't matter the overall situation.

Maybe, next year, Hosokawa Morohei will be kicked out.

Not to mention, the white-haired supervisor's guess is really accurate.

But how does he do this?

The white-haired supervisor is thinking about what he can get.

First, why did those people come to him?

In fact, the reason for this is not complicated, because the Academy of Film Awards is originally created by several big companies, and Shochiku is still the main one.

Kinji Fukasaku had another feud with Takeshi Iwata, so it was best for him to come forward.

He can represent Shochiku.

but!

There is a second point.

Why didn't Shochiku find someone else?

Kinji Fukasaku is not the most famous director, just like Yoji Yamada, who is definitely better than him.

In addition, Shochiku is also a family business, why don't people in the family come out?

For this reason, the white-headed supervisor also wanted a famous watch.

Yoji Yamada, he has such a good reputation, how could he come out to do such a thing?

Fukasaku Kinji is a well-known salty supervisor, in short, he doesn't have a good reputation.

As for the members of the family...

What is the prince of Songzhu doing now?

I filmed TV dramas on Fuji TV, and I am still very famous.

That's right, Prince Shochiku is Kozo Nagayama.

Obviously, TV is the focus of his career, and TV is making more money than movies now.

People who engage in TV dramas, of course, can't mix it with movies.

Well, that's definitely an excellent reason.

In summary!

I Fukasaku Kinji is a gun!

So in the end this gun is going to play, or how to play it?

The white-headed supervisor is an old fox.

He decided, it depends.

……

NTV Japanese TV, one of the most important tasks now is to broadcast Hakone Ekiden.

However, some things have to be settled.

In the conference room, many well-known Japanese filmmakers have gathered.

Shochiku, Toho, Kadokawa and other companies have already sent people over.

Of course, there's even Iwata Films.

You must know that this academy award is a membership system. The original big companies have held the most critical positions. It is not easy for new companies to join.

Now, it’s not okay not to join Iwata Films, after all, Takeshi Iwata is really famous now.

However, Takeshi Iwata did not come, the guy who came was a young man.

As Kinji Fukasaku remembered, his name was Shunji Iwai.

At this time, the staff of NTV had come in and announced the start of the meeting.

"Let's get straight to the point."

"Very good, save wasting time."

"Then, everyone, let's make a decision. When is the deadline for this Academy Film Awards!"

Fukasaku Xinji was surprised, but not too surprised, it's just...

Those guys seem to have done a lot of tricks.

Chapter 400 Finalists!

"Takeshi Iwata must be suppressed!"

In the conference room of NTV, Rihiko Kadokawa's mind is full of what his brother said to him.

As Kadokawa Haruki's younger brother, Kadokawa Rihiko's reputation is much smaller.

After all, my elder brother is really a bit powerful. He has made many well-known movies, but he has also done many bad things.

Even the younger brother Kadokawa Lihiko, he himself felt that if Director Iwata was very suitable to play the villain, then his brother didn't need to play the role at all.

Yes, he had a face that was more of a villain than a villain, and he had a terrible smile.

It was a very greasy face with bumps like the surface of the moon.

Forget about him, the key is the task that this brother entrusted to him.

Suppress Takeshi Iwata?

Is this... a little too much?

But now, in terms of the situation at the entire conference site, there are so many people who want to get rid of Supervisor Iwata.

What the hell is going on with these people?

In other words, Kadokawa Rihiko is still the core concept of the family.

There are three things about the Kadokawa family.

Make money, make money, or fucking make money!

My father formulated this policy back then, but if there is any opportunity to make money, then never let it go.

Just make money.

However, making money is contradictory to what they are going to do now.

Why suppress Takeshi Iwata?

is it necessary?

Moreover, it is just a Japanese Film Academy Award. Can this thing really benefit the Kadokawa family?

My brother is already in prison, even if he comes out, there is no way to make a movie, right?

Therefore, for Kadokawa Films' films, we should find someone else next.

Kadokawa Rihiko took over the company, and he felt that it would be better to cooperate with Takeshi Iwata.

That's right, it's all about making money anyway, so why fight each other?

One thing to say, his idea is quite correct.

But sometimes, people just can't make the right choice.

"Kadokawa-san, what's your attitude?"

Someone asked myself, what should I do?

"I personally think it's better to follow the old rules."

Yes, very smart, he didn't say anything that was too biased, but the statement itself was suppressing Takeshi Iwata.

According to the old rules, then, in terms of the previous ones, most of the movies in December are not counted in the current year.

Yes, that's most of the time.

As soon as Kadokawa Rihiko's words came out, Fukasaku Kinji felt much more comfortable.

The Japan Film Academy Award is currently the most influential award for Japanese films... Indeed, it is the most influential, but the most authoritative one has to be said to be the top ten list of "Movie Xunbao".
