Chapter 185: The Temptation of the Grand Prize!

"Is the galaxy his boundary? Two of the young superintendent's masterpieces have been selected for the award!"

"Great mystery! The Kusano Superintendent has not yet appeared in public!"

"Sad! Both the Academy Awards and the Blue Ribbon Awards are in decline!"

"How can a horror film be shortlisted for an award?"

As time goes by, the impact of the Great Hanshin Earthquake is also decreasing, and it seems that the government has done its work, so there are fewer places for the media to scold, and the news seems to have dropped like this.

It's a little weird, but it's also normal, but it also makes a lot of other things in the news.

Yuki Kusano's two films last year, "Love Letters" and "Midnight Bells", were nominated for two awards, which is really special.

"Love Letter" is okay to say, even if you haven't seen this kind of love story film, you will feel that it is reasonable to be shortlisted for the award, but why can a horror film be shortlisted?

Moreover, the Japan Academy Awards, yes, the competition between this TV station and Fuji TV is very fierce.

Among the five major public televisions, Fuji TV's ratings have ranked first in recent years, but this first place is mainly in TV dramas, with many of its own housekeeping weapons, such as Hakone Ekiden and this academy award.

The ratings of the two TV stations can be said to be chasing me, but Yuki Kusano is the supervisor of Fuji TV, is it so generous?

As a result, there are naturally a lot of speculations, and most insiders can analyze it, which may have something to do with Shochiku.

Japanese films went into decline with the box office failure of Akira Kurosawa's "Train Mania" in 70, and the film company was of course the same, although Kurosawa later made a comeback as a master, but this comeback is interesting because of the Soviet Union.

It didn't mix well in the United States, but the former Soviet Union gave Kurosawa a lot of permission, so he later made a lot of good works as a master.

But Japanese film companies were not so lucky, so they made a lot of investments.

Both Toho and Shochiku have a lot of shares in Fuji TV, and Shochiku has other options, and that is.

The history of Japanese television is longer than that of Fuji Television, and Shochiku placed a heavy bet on it, which seemed quite correct at the time, but I don't know that Fuji Television performed even better later.

Then, Yuki Kusano, the director of Fuji TV, is so young and can be shortlisted for the Academy Award with two films, I'm afraid it's because of Shochiku.

Although the Blue Ribbon also shortlisted both works, it was the Academy Award that was even more eye-catching.

Analyzed in this way, could it be that Shochiku intends to support the young superintendent Yuki Kusano?

Interestingly, it didn't take long for the other two of Japan's four major film awards to also announce their shortlists.

The Film Shunbao Award is an award voted for by fans, and they announce the shortlist in their own newspapers, among which Yuki Kusano's work is only "Love Letter".

The same is true for the Daily Film Awards, which still only have "Love Letters".

All of a sudden, rumors about the young overseer were rampant.

......

Fuji TV, Yuki Kusano has been busy lately.

"Japan Sinks" is a big production, and he is at the helm of a big ship for the first time, but he doesn't want to capsize.

However, after the current award situation came out, there was also a lot of discussion within the TV station.

"Ayuki, I'm sure I'll get the grand prize, right?"

"It's hard to say. ”

"Hey, as a senior, I have to remind you that you have won the award, but you must invite everyone to eat!"

"Haha...... Rest assured. ”

Within the Film Business Bureau, Vice Minister Morita and Sawada and others were all joking with Yuki Kusano, which was also an alternative kind of congratulations.

It's interesting.

Of course, the work is also very serious, and Yuki Kusano's proposal to shoot with a miniature model has been well received by everyone.

Obviously, we wanted to use these models to create a picture of Japan's big cities, and use them to capture the scenes of those disasters.

We can't destroy a real city, but it should be okay to destroy a model.

That said, there's a very huge problem here.

When shooting such a disaster scene, if one shot is wrong, then the overall shooting will be affected.

Because we're going to destroy those models, a model of a certain city is finished with a shot, and if you make a mistake and want to reshoot, you have to make another model.

Time is bound to be affected.

What to do?

"Guys, this time we have to be sure before shooting!

"Hello!"

That's right, you can only do the work in advance, through lens design, and all aspects of preparation, to ensure that the first time it is successful.

In fact, in this regard, even Hollywood does this, and at the moment when those hard-earned models can almost be destroyed as fake, success or failure is decided!

The entire business bureau was mobilized, and everyone was constantly deducing the footage and final image.

In such an atmosphere, Nagayama Kozo came.

Yuki Kusano doesn't have her own office yet, so the two of them simply found a safe passage to chat.

"Do you smoke?"

"No, thank you. ”

Kozo Nagayama handed over the cigarette roll, but Yuki Kusano didn't laugh, he didn't smoke in the first place. And Prince Shochiku also immediately put away the cigarette rolls and did not smoke them himself.

This detail seems to reveal something.

"You should know. ”

"Well, the next February or March is awards season. ”

"So, you should have received what I mean, right?"

"Yes, but I still can't attend the awards. ”

"Haha...... Why?"

"I don't really want to show myself in public. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"That's right, it's as simple as that, Nagayama-san, I can assure you that even if my film enters an international film festival in the future, or even an international film festival, or an Oscar, I won't be there. ”

"Are you so weird?"

"Maybe I'm just a weirdo. ”

"Haha...... It's nothing, I've heard that artists have a bit of a quirk, you guy, I look a lot like ......"

"I'm not really an artist, but I think it's going to be a lot of trouble, and if I show my face in public, then I probably won't be able to go out normally in the future...... Who made me so handsome? ”

The front is good, but the words at the end directly made Yongshan Kosan burst into laughter!

"You're good, you're good. Okay, I got it. ”

"Aligado. ”

Yuki Kusano finally said a word of thanks, and Kozo Nagayama nodded.

......

Returning to the Film Business Bureau, Morita and Sawada and others surrounded him again.

"What did Nagayama-san tell you?"

"Well, I just told him that I wasn't going to the ceremony. ”

When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but complain.

"Kusano, you guy change your quirks!"

"Isn't it nice when you shoot other people? But you don't want people to shoot you, it's so cunning. ”

"Oh, I really want to go to the award ceremony, and after that, with my handsome appearance, my iconic self-scroll, then, if the beauties see me on weekdays, they don't scream again and again. ”

Sawada, this guy is really a stinky fart, so can everyone give him face?

"yes, screaming and shouting Bagga. ”

"Maybe it's an idiot?"

"Maybe it's too ugly. ”

This...

"Hey, you guys, it's too much!" Sawada looked hurt.

The atmosphere was very good.

But Yuki Kusano still said very sternly: "Okay, okay, that's all for my business, everyone please continue to work hard!"

yes, we're going to work.

After a hello, they returned to their posts.

Deputy Chief Morita chatted with Yuki Kusano in a whisper, "Is Nagayama-san ......?"

"I understand. ”

After saying that, Morita nodded, he knew that Yuki Kusano should understand.

In fact, Yuki Kusano noticed from the beginning that the Shochiku department seemed to have a stronger intention to solicit himself.

When talking about "R" with Kozo Nagayama before, the prince Shochiku gave Yuki Kusano the option of two artists under Toho.

Although Yasuko Sawaguchi and Yuki Saito are good, their identities are the key.

This is obviously Kozo Nagayama helping himself to deal with Toho's side.

And then there was the Academy of Film Awards, and horror films like "Midnight Bell" were shortlisted.

Coupled with the previous conversation, if you don't understand it, you're pretending to be stupid.

Yuki Kusano replied, taking advantage of his principle of not being interviewed, so he further announced that he would not attend the award ceremony.

The subtext is: refusal.

The reason for refusal is that Yuki Kusano knows very well that if he votes for Shochiku now, then his value will be reduced a lot in an instant, and in the future, the best result can only be Yoji Yamada.

You must know that the story of "Injiro" is coming to an end, and Atsumikiyo's body can no longer support it. Yuki Kusano's current momentum can just make up for the end of Injiro's story.

It's not that Yoji Yamada didn't succeed, it's just that Yuki Kusano was unwilling.

To euphemistically express refusal, it can be regarded as saving face for each other.

For the grand prize, Kusano Yuki doesn't care very much, and I'm lucky to have it...... It's not a big deal.

So, work normally, get off work normally, and what happens after work?

I returned to my residence, changed my clothes, and then went to the underground parking lot.

Not long after, a BMW 3 Series drove out leisurely.

Yuki Kusano did buy himself a car, moreover, it was still an imported car, in this era, the 3 Series was a popular and good car, and it was liked by many young people, Will Smith bought one as soon as he had money, and the rock singer Akso Rose, who is the lead singer of Guns N' Rose, he did the same.

So, just buy a new car and go for a ride?

It didn't take long for a beautiful woman to get on the bus.

It's Shinobi.

"Ah Xing, I really bought a new car, ha......"

"Well, it's nothing, I'm a well-known overseer. ”

"It's not like you!"

"I'm usually too low-key, maybe I'm a sullen man. ”

Sure enough, with famous cars and beautiful women, life is boundless.

But Ah Ren felt that the sullen should not be suitable for Yuki Kusano.

So, I whispered in his ear, "You're a at all." ”

Yuichi Kusano, with one foot on the accelerator, the car rushed out.

So what's next...

"Isn't this a hindrance?"

"Yes, it should...... You scoundrel!"

Why is the topic so much around the handle? (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
