Chapter 300: "The Killing Game"! Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award!
Overnight, everyone seemed to think that Yuki Kusano was going to leave Japan and enter Hollywood.
"If Supervisor Kusano can successfully gain a foothold in Hollywood, then Japan will have one more world-class director!"
"But how can it be so easy? I think it will be difficult for the Kusano supervisor to adapt to the Hollywood model?"
"Why?"
"Don't you see that it's just the screenwriter now? You know, the power of supervision is not so small. ”
"In other words, will it repeat Kurosawa's old past?"
"This ......"
As soon as the news of "The Matrix" appeared, the impact was immediately apparent, and many TV stations began to discuss the matter again.
There's no way, the name of Yuki Kusano seems to be the most popular star at the moment, he is not only a supervisor, but also so mysterious, just to know what kind of person Yuki Kusano is, this topic is already a hot topic in many newspapers and magazines.
However, because of the previous example of Akira Kurosawa, everyone is quite rational about the future development of Yuki Kusano.
Japan is very different from Hollywood in terms of films, where there is a very mature production system for large companies, and there is absolutely no such position as a supervisor, and no one can cover the sky with one hand, not even Akira Kurosawa, who won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1990.
So, on the topic of Yuki Kusano, some people chatted and talked about it.
"Yuki Kusano will succeed? haha...... I bet this guy will be swept away by Warner!"
Of course, the person who said this was Kazuo Ikehiro, who had been many times before, and this old guy is still very active, and almost everyone knows that he is Yuki Kusano's nemesis.
It is precisely for this reason that this guy does not have to worry about work, and he is often approached by TV stations to do programs, after all, there have always been a lot of topics about Yuki Kusano.
Kazuo Chi Guang, a well-known old overseer, sat on the opposite side of Yuki Kusano.
Of course, in this case, someone must fight him in the ring.
"I think Kusano is likely to break new ground in the United States!"
It's a bit surprising that Kuroda Yamazaki is so determined.
In fact, the critic has always been relatively neutral about Yuki Kusano's films, at least he thinks so.
Although there have been some works supervised by Kusano before, but most of them are still applauded.
In this way, two people face each other, what about the others?
"Can Yuki Kusano gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and become a world-class famous executive?"
This topic was very popular for a while.
......
When Japan in the 90s, an era of entertainment to death, there was a director who was likely to make a difference in Hollywood, and it was really worth getting the whole Japanese people excited.
But what about Yuki Kusano?
Now he has quite a headache.
"Grass!
"Hey, I said I ......"
"Cao, you don't need to talk about it, it's really amazing, our brothers have been completely convinced by you!"
"This ......"
"I didn't expect that "Midnight Bell" would be so good! It's so popular! Haha......"
"It's a horror movie after all, and it's ......"
"Grass, you don't need to talk about it, Warner executives are very happy about this great success, and they actually know in their hearts that you have a lot of credit. This movie was originally made by you, and the American version can be said to be a copy of your movie, and in addition, the role of Nicole Kidman was chosen by you, this role is so important, it's amazing!"
"Oh, that 'grass' question......"
"Needless to say, let's hurry up and get to the next step!"
"It's my name question......"
"It's really nothing important, let's start The Matrix quickly!"
Yuki Kusano is really out of line.
The Wachowski (current) brothers, who were very excited to come to Tokyo from the United States, went straight to Fuji TV, and then found Yuki Kusano, and ...... with him One bite of one 'grass'.
Aren't you two cultural people?
How do you give me the feeling of swearing?
Helpless, so helpless.
The surname Kusano is really uncomfortable, these two guys called at the time and thought about this grass director, and now, it seems to have become even worse.
However, Yuki Kusano also understands very well that these two brothers are too anxious, they want to shoot this "Matrix" too much.
Now, there are a few things that have been settled.
The name of "The Matrix" has been decided, and "the-matrix" is the original one.
Don't underestimate this, in Hollywood, the name of a movie is very important, this name is very important, it is inseparable from the success of a movie, and at the stage of filming, all Hollywood movies must use pseudonyms.
That is, secrecy from the outside world.
For example, the famous movie "Ten Days of Danger", this movie translates to this name, but in fact, the name of the movie is "Misery", in fact, Stephen King's name is also this, but why not "Ten Days of Danger" or "Number One Book Fans"?
This is more interesting.,MiseryThis is actually the name of the heroine in the creation of the male protagonist.,And it's because of this character.,So the heroine in it is also the 'number one book fan'.,Will do all kinds of atrocities to the male protagonist.。
This kind of name has a sense of mystery and mystery, and it is very suitable for a suspense thriller work.
And now, "The Matrix" directly uses a 'matrix', which is also very in line with the style of the film.
Second: The actor has been decided, and it is Keanu Reeves!
This is the advice that Yuki Kusano gave before, and the Wachowski brothers also thought it was OK, and Keanu also came to Japan once, so to speak, everything was perfect.
Third: That's the lineup of screenwriters, Yuki Kusano plus the Wachowski brothers. Beautiful
There is certainly no problem with this lineup.
So, what about the fourth?
"Grass, you're not going to be angry, are you?"
"Yes, this kind of work as a director, this, this ......"
The fourth should be related to the director, and Yuki Kusano did not appear in the list of directors, which is actually the same purpose as the Wachowski brothers who immediately rushed over, and they have to talk about this matter.
Yuki Kusano just laughed, "It's nothing, after all, I'm just a Japanese director." ”
This made the Wachowski brothers even more embarrassed.
People are selfish, and the two of them want to completely grasp the power of the director in their hands, this mood is understandable, if it is Yuki Kusano, he will also want to do it.
However, Yuki Kusano is well aware that he can take advantage of this matter.
"In terms of some roles, can you use Japanese actors, or Chinese actors? Zou Zhaolong, for example, he's pretty good, right?"
Yuki Kusano, that's what she was doing.
After all, the position of director has more power, and if you don't give it, you won't give it, but what about the others?
The actor should be able to do it.
The Wachowski brothers nodded immediately, and the two of them seemed to have figured it out early in the morning.
"Zou, of course OK. ”
"Besides, we think that female detective is very powerful. ”
Female detective?
It must have been a translation issue, and Yuki Kusano immediately understood who it was.
Ah Huibei!
I have to say that Ah Hui's appearance in the previous "Matrix" is indeed very good.
Moreover, it was originally three roles, one of which was given to Ah Hui, and she was asked to be one of the three detectives, which is no problem at all.
Yuki Kusano is even more powerful.
"That's her character, right?"
"Huh, isn't this too tough?"
"Yes, we have a very good actor in our hearts. ”
Sure enough, if you want to get a more powerful role, it's still difficult to get that Smith detective.
Yuki Kusano won't say defeat lightly, "If you say that, then our side will suffer too much." ”
"So, what to do?"
"Shall we make amends?"
Well, the Wachowski brothers have some conscience, Yuki Kusano smiled slightly.
"After all, the version I filmed in Japan is still very successful, although your American version will definitely use a large number of European and American actors, but how about giving many of our characters in the Japanese version a chance to show their faces?"
The opportunity to show his face, this is the last request made by Yuki Kusano.
The Wachowski brotherhood was unbearable, so he had to agree, after all, this request was not excessive.
And what about Yuki Kusano?
Well, most of these people are under my Stardust Arts, otherwise, celebrities like Sister Akina and Tamura-san are also friends who are of great help to me.
Yuki Kusano has not forgotten the affection of the past this time.
In this case, this matter is settled, and it will be helpful for celebrities who want to come to Japan to show their faces in Hollywood blockbusters, and it will definitely cause a lot of conversation.
The three of them talked about it, and all that remained was some business details, that is, Warner and Fuji TV were talking.
However, as for the previous "Midnight Bell", Fuji TV seems to have participated in the investment, and it wants box office dividends.
And now, although this American version of "Midnight Bell" is popular around the world, the box office situation is ...... I'm afraid these Hollywood guys won't spit out money easily.
This matter has little to do with him Kusanoyuki.
Soon, the three of them happily chatted about other things, and the topic came to the new movie.
For the movie "Fatal ID", Yuki Kusano originally wanted to go to the United States to participate in a film festival or other activities, but after hearing it, the Wachowski brothers were very curious, and the two were simple enough to directly recommend the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award.
To put it simply, the two of them are responsible for being the recommenders, and you can leave your movie to them.
This award was a surprise to Yuki Kusano, after all, he really hadn't considered this before.
But to say, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, this award is not ordinary, who is the founder?
Charlie chaplin.
That's right, this is the film master, who was a film critic for the Los Angeles Times at the time, so he simply created this award.
This is a serious film critics award, one of the three major film critics awards in the United States.
Go!
In this way, Yuki Kusano may have really made it to Hollywood.
So, is this movie still called "Fatal ID"?
Change!
Killing Game!
That's it.
It didn't take long for a new round of big news about Yuki Kusano to break out here in Japan.
"The Killing Game" was shortlisted for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards!
