Chapter 259: Opening Film "April Story"

May has just arrived, and one thing has been confirmed.

"April Story is going to the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Will Superintendent Kusano definitely appear at the festival?"

"The director of "The Godfather" is the chairman of the jury!

That's right, "April Story" has passed the preliminary review and is fully eligible to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, of course, what awaits now is its appearance.

However, what kind of appearance is this appearance?

The Japanese media seems to be paying more attention to the young superintendent Yuki Kusano, whether he will appear at Cannes, what does this superintendent look like, and is he as ugly as the legend says?

Well, a recent survey found that many people think that Yuki Kusano is actually an ugly man.

Many newspapers and magazines have conducted such small surveys for the sake of circulation, and the results are shown in this way, and the reasons for the readers are simple.

If he wasn't an ugly man, how could he be so afraid of seeing people?

Actually, this is a little careful thinking by readers, maybe as soon as they are so persecuted, Yuki Kusano will appear, right?

Wouldn't it be nice to show up in Cannes to prove that he is not an ugly man.

Another interesting thing is the members of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.

Francis Coppola, the world-famous director, is the head of the well-known Coppola family in Hollywood...... Well, that's what the Japanese think is that he is the head of the house...... He is the president of the jury!

As the chairman, Coppola is so powerful that it makes people reverie.

Especially related to Yuki Kusano.

It is rumored that Yuki Kusano may have a certain connection with Yakuza, so will it be staged in Cannes, France, a drama of Japan's Yakuza vs. the American mafia?

Many Japanese in the second year of secondary school are even looking forward to it.

In fact, the mafia is from Sicily, Italy.

These seem to make people blush.

It doesn't matter, many media outlets in Japan have already said that they will definitely send their best reporting team to Cannes.

In short, they want to capture Yuki Kusano alive!

Anyway, this year's Cannes Film Festival is unexpectedly exciting.

......

"It's beautiful!"

France is really a very, very special country in the minds of the Japanese, even if it is Takako Matsu, it is inevitable.

I've been to Paris before, but it's only a turning point, and Matsu Takako is a little disappointed in her heart.

But now facing a blue sea, she can't help but cheer.

It's really beautiful, just this piece of sea in front of you, the blue one is intoxicating, and the clarity is amazing.

It must be admitted that this part of the coast of Cannes is indeed very remarkable, it is already a famous tourist destination in Europe, and relatively speaking, the film festival is just an embellishment.

Of course, the Festival de Cannes itself is very important, and it is closely associated with anti-faxisi.

This film festival had an incomparable justice and a powerful global significance in those days.

Matsuko still had this knowledge in her mind, but she had forgotten some important details.

"Takako!"

"Alas!"

Actually, in addition to my mother, the family of Koryo House is here, so let's have a good time.

It's just that the eldest sister who is with her now, while her father and brother are going to run errands.

It is said that the event was very important, and it was to meet an important person, Eiko Ishioka.

This lady is quite powerful, Takako Matsu also knows her name, it can be said that she is a master of Japanese fashion design, a very, very famous master.

So this visit...... Well, Takako Matsu actually understands, because Eiko Ishioka is a member of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Moreover, when the jury was determined before, director Coppola also gave high praise to Eiko Ishioka.

It must be for "April Story".

To be honest, Takako Matsu really wanted to see this movie because she hadn't seen it after filming.

How did you act?

Yuki Kusano, that guy wouldn't make himself ugly, would he?

Seriously, it was the first time to play the heroine, and this movie was able to come to Cannes, Takako Matsu herself thought, is it too lucky?

"What do you think?"

"No, nothing. ”

My sister, who is slightly chubby, is now wearing a swimsuit, and it seems that she wants to play on the beach.

"Takako, aren't you coming?"

"I still can't. ”

Matsu Takako is wearing a floral long skirt, which is relatively conservative.

But at this time, my sister seemed to have discovered something.

"Oh, look. ”

"Huh?"

It turned out to be Yuki Kusano!

Moreover, Yuki Kusano was talking to an old white-bearded white man with brown glasses, this old man ...... It's Coppola, right?

This Yuki Kusano, how did he do it?

......

"I beg Mr. Coppola's pardon for my presumptuousness, but at the moment, I really have no other way. ”

"Oh, you're saying you can't make it to the festival?"

"I'm definitely not disrespecting the organizing committee, I'm not disrespecting the jury, Mr. Coppola, if you don't believe it, you can always come to Japan to investigate, I have never been interviewed, and I have never appeared in public. ”

"This ...... Is it serious?"

"I don't know, but it's true that I have a natural fear of socializing. ”

"Oops, that's a shame. ”

Why did Yuki Kusano talk to Coppola?

In fact, it is very simple, after all, he is the director of the participating films, of course he can get in touch with the organizing committee and the jury, and Yuki Kusano's approach is very interesting.

He wrote a letter.

In English, he wrote a letter with very sincere feelings, and in this letter he made things very clear, that is...... Social phobia.

Well, of course he made it up, so, since it's all made up, can he fool Coppola?

"Director Cao, it's enough for you to tell me this, and we value your work, so please don't worry. In the end, whether you can win the award or not depends on the work. ”

Yuki Kusano was ready to take out the prepared medical certificate, and the old man Coppola was really good.

Did you go too far?

Seriously, social phobia is a disease that is not big or small, anyway, it can help you achieve your goals.

Of course, the diagnosis is in Japanese, and I can't understand the great director of "The Godfather".

After that, the two had a brief chat, and Coppola didn't express a special affection, after all, his identity is more sensitive now.

"Goodbye. ”

"Well, goodbye, I'm looking forward to that movie of yours, I'll definitely be watching it then. ”

The two said goodbye, and they talked for about five minutes.

Yuki Kusano understood that there was nothing special about this chat, he just told the reason why he couldn't show up, and Coppola just accepted it.

Next, I'll go to Paris, where there is...

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come to Cannes?"

"Oh, Miss Takako Matsu, I mean not going to the festival. ”

Yuki Kusano didn't expect to meet Takako Matsu.

The floral dress swayed in the wind, and she still used her hands to shield herself from the sun, after all, Kusano was very tall.

"What were you doing?"

"Do you have any advice from Miss Matsuko?"

To tell the truth, hearing Yuki Kusano call herself that, Takako Matsu was very angry.

But she also understands why.

Didn't you say okay, after the movie, I didn't like him anymore, this guy is practicing this.

Kusano didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to go to Paris as soon as possible.

Matsutako didn't want to let him go easily, so he simply said, "Are you going to attack Mr. Coppola?"

"Huh?" Yuki Kusano wanted to laugh a little, he wanted to kill the father of "The Godfather"?

Matsuko rolled her eyes, "You're not going to bribe, are you?"

In this way, it is entirely because in "The White Tower", Cai Qian always bribes those important people.

Inexplicably, I thought of this kind of plot.

Yuki Kusano laughed, but didn't deny it, "Maybe." ”

After saying that, he left first, but he still left a word.

"Miss Matsuko can report me if she wants to, it's nothing. ”

"You guy!" Matsu was angry.

She didn't mean to report it, she just wanted to talk to Yuki Kusano, I don't know why, she just thought so.

When Kusano Yuki walked away, my sister came over, and the white and fat sister's face was a little flushed, "Sister, Superintendent Kusano is really handsome." ”

"What are you talking about?" Matsu was confused.

"I mean, even if you marry before me, I won't be jealous. "My sister is really gentle.

Matsutako was embarrassed, "Who will marry him!"

Angry, angry don't hit one place!

Why are you so angry?

This can be regarded as the completion of the agreement, and I don't like him after the movie.

......

The 1996 Cannes Film Festival was scheduled to open on May 9th, and to everyone's surprise, Coppola announced that the opening film was "April Story"!

Kozo Nagayama came on behalf of Fuji TV, he is also the producer of this movie, although it is only a name, and for now, just use this opportunity to make a premiere!

"April Story" was released on the first day of the Cannes Film Festival.

On this day, the stars gathered, and all eyes were on it.

Takako Matsu walked on the red carpet, I don't know how many flashes were facing her, she herself was a little flustered, but she still squeezed out a smile.

Fortunately, my father and brother and sister are here, after all, they also starred in the movie.

"Si Koichi!" said his brother Ichikawa Somegoro, with a rather playful smile.

"What!" Unfortunately, as a younger sister, I don't think so.

Takako Matsu is in a very complicated mood, she is looking forward to it on the one hand, and shy on the other.

No, there are others, but this 'other' should not be thought about.

Not long after, Coppola announced the opening of the film festival, and "April Story" was finally about to meet the world.

Many stars and directors simply left, of course, Coppola and other judges must not be missed, but there are still many people who want to see this movie.

Takako Matsu sat in her seat, she was quite worried in her heart, what would happen to her movie?

Oh, it's a bit shameless, this is Yuki Kusano's movie.

Fortunately, the apprehension passed quickly, because the movie came.

A line of words appeared on the big screen.

Superintendent, Yuki Kusano.

Then, not even the name of the movie.

It was really strange, but soon there was light and shadow.

There are four people on the humble platform, and you can clearly feel who they are without introduction.

Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister.

There really doesn't need any introduction, as soon as they appear, anyone can feel who they are.

Dad smiled and waved, and the door closed.

Well, the doors, didn't even pay attention to this before.

Mom looked like she was about to cry, and my brother looked stupid.

At this time, a conductor from the train station appeared.

"You're going to Tokyo, aren't you?"

"Yes, my daughter was admitted to a university in Tokyo. ”

"Si Guoyi!"

"Haha......"

My father smiled proudly, and at this moment, there was a white hand on the window of the car door.

Takako Matsu knew that this was her first appearance in the movie, and only one hand appeared.
