Hisaishi Joe naturally understood it, but regarding this matter, he could only answer with a very official smile.

"Iwata-san mentioned this matter to me. Judging from his appearance, it seems that he is not very interested. It would be great if he can win the award. If he can't, it's no big deal."

This is what I want, although saying this is tantamount to not saying it.

"Thank you!"

The reporter has completed the task, but today's situation...

Those little guys seemed destined to be on the stage of the entertainment world.

……

Los Angeles.

There are still a few hours until this year's, No. 40's five-time Emmy Awards ceremony.

Takeshi Iwata and Akina are hanging out on Hollywood Boulevard.

Let's put it this way, in fact, although the Emmy Awards are always summarized as having similar status to Oscars and Grammys.

But in fact, this award is really not enough now.

In other words, it is very insufficient.

TV awards, as far as today is concerned, although TV is already a household name, the TV awards are relatively mediocre.

This is true all over the world.

It's like the Emmy Awards, the most famous television award in the United States, has only been held in the Municipal Auditorium in Pasadena until now.

Here I would like to say that the so-called city in the United States is not a big unit itself, just like the well-known Santa Monica, which is also a city, but in fact it is not a little big, similar to a district in China.

This city is not very big, and the municipal auditorium is just that.

Interestingly, the exterior of this auditorium is decorated in blue tones, which looks a bit like blue and white porcelain.

As for the selection of awards, of course it is the same as the Oscars, that is, members vote.

It's just that this award is often quite strange.

The TV market here in the United States is even more complicated than the film market. Generally speaking, this country can be roughly divided into two types of TV stations.

One is a national television station like ABC.

Another is cable TV.

In fact, this is the case in many countries, but the United States is really different.

There are too many cable TV stations.

This is so much... It is generally described as mushrooming after the rain, but this is not enough, it is probably equivalent to that raining idea.

There are many, really many. Some TV stations only serve a small group of people, but they are also TV stations.

Ever since, there are so many Emmy Awards.

These awards ceremonies in Europe and America are actually similar. If there are many awards, it's best to read the summary later, otherwise you won't be able to remember them all.

However, although there are many, some are still very important.

For example, best drama series.

This should be the biggest prize.

Interestingly, this award so far has rarely been awarded to some cable network dramas.

Takeshi Iwata remembered this very clearly. He used to say that he was also from a professional background.

In a certain year, or to put it simply, it was the year of 08.

This situation has undergone a huge change.

A TV series called "Mad Men" broke this rule.

This is a show aired on AMC, and this AMC is actually quite famous later, such as "The Walking Dead" and "Breaking Bad".

But, after all, this is just a cable TV network, not a big national TV station.

The current AMC is still very small and has little reputation.

In fact, as far as the original "Mad Men" is concerned, it is not the highest-rated TV series, or even very few.

But at that Emmy Awards, it just swept away.

This surprised many people.

After all, you didn't give awards to so many dramas on national TV stations, but you gave such a niche award?

You must have paid for it!

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking. It is almost a clear rule that American awards charge money.

For example, there have been many scandals at the Golden Globe Awards.

Although Oscar said that there are such rumors, after all, Oscar's members are different, and there are many members.

Therefore, it is always said that Oscar is fairer and more authoritative.

In fact, the matter here... As long as you grasp the direction, you can still engage those members, but the method is different.

Having said that, for "Mad Men" that time, it is actually certain that this is accompanied by the rise of AMC, the cable TV network.

In addition, Netflix played a role in it.

After all, many of AMC's shows are for Netflix, and they definitely have a PY deal.

So, what about the present?

In 08, it was actually a turning point, and it was the time when the Internet really outperformed the traditional media.

Such a background led to such a result.

Takeshi Iwata understood very well in his heart, but right now, there is no such background at all.

There is nothing wrong with saying that the Internet in the United States is just in the ascendant in terms of popularity.

Yes, there is indeed a network now, but it is really not enough to watch.

Let's just say Yahoo doesn't have it yet.

In fact, from this perspective, China's network development is really not much slower than that of the United States.

It was not too late when several portal websites appeared.

In such a situation, the new media such as the Internet has not really become stronger, while the traditional media is still very strong.

Although Takeshi Iwata's "Breaking Bad" has indeed achieved success, it is still not very strong compared to the big TV stations in the United States.

Change didn't happen.

Therefore, Takeshi Iwata did not lie to Joe Hisaishi, he really felt that coming to the Emmys this time was just to participate and show off.

So and so, let's go shopping with my wife.

Buy and buy!

Mingcai was very happy, hugging the child, like a little rich woman, I want all of this, that, and that.

Good guy, Takeshi Iwata can't lift it.

It's okay, we have people.

In short, their family is happy and harmonious, laughing and laughing from time to time.

But at this time, a man appeared.

"Mr. Iwata! I have something to tell you!"

"Mr. Iwata!"

Suddenly, like a terrorist attack, a chubby white man, he is not tall, but just wanted to rush over and talk to Takeshi Iwata.

But it's a pity that before he got close, he was knocked to the ground by a guy who appeared from nowhere.

Many of these people are Asian.

Yes, who am I, Takeshi Iwata?

As for Emperor Yakuza of Japan, how could he not pay attention to safety work?

It's just that these people are all friends of the local Hongmen at the moment, and they are temporarily responsible for the safety of Takeshi Iwata's family.

This is much safer than bodyguards.

But this person...

"You..." Takeshi Iwata just glanced at it, and felt that this guy looked familiar.

In fact, just now Takeshi Iwata saw a guy who looked like his accomplice, and that guy ran away.

But this man...

"Mr. Iwata, I really have something very important to talk to you about!"

Several 'bodyguards' were very agile, and made a look at Takeshi Iwata, which means that this guy has no weapons on him.

Takeshi Iwata nodded, and the bodyguards let him go.

"Introduce yourself, my name is Cuban, Mark Cuban."

Ah this...

Takeshi Iwata finally remembered who this was, it turned out to be him...

Inadvertently glanced at this guy's chest, um, it's still the original.

Mingcai is naturally very puzzled by her husband's behavior, but she also knows that at this time... let's pick something again!

He walked away obediently with the child in his arms.

And Cuban cherishes the time now, and directly opened the chatterbox.

"We have an idea to do webcasting..."

Dude, is this thing so trendy now?

……

Chapter 384 Beans and Webcasts, Unexpected Gains!

This is too scary!

Quentin, who had a wicked face, was terrified now.

The ferocious face was full of horror.

Why?

Because he saw it, a lot of people appeared beside Takeshi Iwata, and they pinned down the chubby guy.

Fortunately, I was one step late, otherwise, wouldn't the guy who was held down be me?

So scary.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that this seemingly vicious guy would be so timid.

In fact, Quentin also has considerable acting skills. He usually creates an appearance that is not easy to bully, which benefits him a lot.

This is what is required in the United States, otherwise, someone will bully you.

Of course, if there is a chance to jump face, he will never let it go.

After all, it is human nature to follow the wind and waves and invest against the wind.

But the previous scene really left him with lingering fears.

Takeshi Iwata is probably more than just a director, right?

If there is any power behind him, then...

It seems that this is not bad.

The Quentin guy is torn.

Didn't he make up his mind before, that is to say, he wrote a script and planned to find funding.
