Chapter 264: Golden Camera Award!
International A-level film festivals generally have a main competition unit, which is the most important and most concerned in the film festival.
It's like the Cannes Film Festival, although it is very famous, but there is also a unit that has almost no threshold.
For example, if you have a movie corner, you just need to bring the film, show it here, and then pay 80 euros to the organizing committee, and it's all right.
This film can also be regarded as the Cannes Film Festival.
Of course, this kind of movie is difficult to bluff professionals, but sometimes, it is really eye-opening.
And this time "April Story" is very different.
After the premiere, the local situation in Cannes was still very good, and the members of the jury actually gave a good evaluation, after all, they can't just say what awards are given.
It's just that Ras von Trier is a little weird, but he's such a fanatical guy, everyone will listen to it.
However, in an international A-level film festival like the Cannes Film Festival, there will be some room schedules that score films.
The so-called house magazines are some movie-related magazines, and during the Cannes Film Festival, these magazines will be very busy, almost every day, and this issue will review and score many films.
Generally speaking, in terms of scores, 3 points is a dividing line.
If you score more than 3 points, then it is a good film recognized by this field magazine.
A score of 3 or less to 2 is considered an average level.
If it's less than 2 points, it's garbage.
However, there are a lot of house programs, after all, this film is very attractive, and the Cannes Film Festival also has an official house program.
"The Screen" is official, and the rating of "April Story" in this field magazine is: 2.4.
This score is not too impressive, and it has disappointed many Japanese media outlets who have come from afar.
As for the ratings of other house magazines, it doesn't seem to be very high, at least none of the house magazines gave "April Story" more than 3 points.
As a result, this quickly triggered pessimism in the Japanese media.
"Sad retribution!"April Story" is not favored!"
Could it be that the absence of Superintendent Kusano caused a resentment in the French media?"
"April Story" may not be selected for the main competition!"
In the past, this was reported in Japan.
Of course, this also includes the Sankei Shimbun and many other media.
Originally, they had a certain bad opinion of Yuki Kusano, but now that they have such an opportunity, how can they miss it?
That's right, maybe the movie you made as a kid is not bad, but because you are too arrogant and too unsocial, it affects the evaluation of the movie!
Basically, this is the view, and many media outlets blame the low rating on Yuki Kusano's failure to appear in Cannes.
Moreover, this approach is very much in line with the Japanese way of thinking, so it quickly sparked heated discussions.
Now, the results are finally out, and "April Story" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit!
When the news was sent back to Japan, many people felt a little pain on their faces.
However, next, there will be a new round of singing and declining.
"Please overseer Kusano give up his attachment! If he didn't show up at the closing ceremony, then "April Story" would not have won the award!"
"Yuki Kusano's films may be excellent, but it's really difficult to deal with people without knowing how to behave in the world. β
"I didn't respect my predecessors before, Kazuo Chihiro has suffered, and Yuki Kusano is such an arrogant guy!"
All kinds of remarks have almost stereotyped Yuki Kusano, he is just a young guy, but he is arrogant, stubborn to the extreme, and has many quirks.
Anyway, the media has already seen it clearly, and you Kusano Yuki will resolutely not appear in public, and will not accept interviews or anything.
Even "April Story", the movie you starred in, is very clever and does not show your face, although many people have a very high evaluation of this, this faceless is many times better than showing your face.
But, after all, he still hasn't shown his face, has he?
Black, strong black!
Led by the Sankei Shimbun, Yuki Kusano, who could have been said to be the young supervisor of his family, has now become the target of criticism.
It's weird enough.
However, it seems that everyone hopes that Yuki Kusano will actually appear, which will probably increase the possibility of "April Story" winning the award, right?
Everyone who pays attention to the performance of this film at Cannes seems to have a very strange mood.
So, can this movie win an award?
Or, can this movie win awards when Yuki Kusano does not appear?
It was fast forward to May 20th.
This day is the closing ceremony of this year's Cannes Film Festival and the day of the awards.
Who will see who the Palme d'Or will go to today.
In the evening, the red carpet ceremony begins.
"Takako Matsu!"
"Look over here!
"Miss Takako!
Takako Matsu, who was wearing a floral dress, smiled very politely at the Japanese media at the moment.
As for how to tell if it's a Japanese media, it's too simple.
Of course, speaking Japanese is a foundation, but if you are yelling and yelling, then it must be them.
Shout until the other person hears it, and then the other person will look at the camera.
This is a lesson that Japanese journalists must learn, and if they don't, they will be fired very quickly.
Therefore, the characteristic of Japanese journalists is that they have a very loud voice.
In fact, there was some helplessness in Matsuko's smile.
To be honest, she still has some expectations for Yuki Kusano, she hopes that Yuki Kusano can appear on this red carpet, and she doesn't necessarily have to complete this ceremony with her, but he should appear.
There is a lot of discussion in Japan, but in fact, everyone in Cannes is also discussing it.
Although, Kozo Nagayama was very excited when he announced that he was shortlisted for the main competition unit, but immediately, he said it himself.
If Yuki Kusano can be there, then it will definitely increase the possibility of winning the award.
After all, this is the Cannes Film Festival, and this movie is the work of Yuki Kusano, but you just don't come, what does this make people think?
The Japanese have a lot of concerns about this kind of thing.
As a result, the entire team that came to Cannes seemed to be hung with gloomy clouds.
There are even people who want to go to Yuki Kusano.
Even the two girls of Ryoko and Kuniko are eager to try.
But in the end, everyone is just looking forward to it, after all, if Yuki Kusano is forced to attend the closing ceremony, it seems that this is also difficult for the strongman, and it is also a trouble for him.
He made it clear before that he wouldn't show up.
Will it really make a big difference?
Although he thought so, the reporter's questions never stopped.
"Takako Matsu, can you tell me this time, if you win the award, how will you celebrate?"
"I really haven't thought about winning the award. β
"No, I heard that during Journalists' Week, a lot of people spoke highly of you. β
"Really? Aligado. β
Takako Matsu won the award?
That's right, it has been announced before, and she was actually shortlisted for Best Actress!
It's interesting, although "April Story" is not very high in terms of field magazine ratings, but it is really exciting for Takako Matsu to have such treatment as the main officer.
So, can you win an award?
Takako Matsu said in her heart, she really couldn't believe that she could win the award.
As for high ratings, that's not ...... Yes, it's actually because of Yuki Kusano.
By now, Takako Matsu has completely figured out why Yuki Kusano said those words to herself before filming started.
You must like him.
Yes, only in this way can you act in this movie well and show your acting skills well.
The plot of "April Story" is very simple, so simple that it makes people sigh, can this also be made into a movie?
However, in this movie, all kinds of love for a young girl are shown.
Are you that good?
No, of course, his performance is the main thing, but there is another reason that cannot be ignored, and that is Yuki Kusano.
likes him, that's why he can perform like this, or rather, Takako Matsu didn't act at all.
I just like him.
What now?
Yuki Kusano, you bastard, where the hell are you!
Fortunately, this is the word of the heart.
After the red carpet was over, Takako Matsu, Kozo Nagayama and several others, Masato Sakai, Ryoko, Kuniko, etc., all came to the award ceremony.
Cannes is still a relatively small place, so the scene is not atmospheric enough.
However, the stars gathered.
is not only a big-name star director in Europe and the United States, but also many celebrities in Asia, such as director Chen Kaige from China this time, whose "Fengyue" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit.
In addition, there is also a Vietnamese director named Tran Hung Hung on the jury.
In short, sitting in this kind of place, Matsu Takako feels very small.
Even, it's not as good as Ryoko and Kuniko, the two of them are ...... now The scene was in the form of a banquet, so there was food on the table, and the two of them ate quite well.
"Hey, you two, don't you care if your brother can win the award?"
"What do you know about this bald head? The two of us are too nervous, so we need to add up. β
"That's it, Ernie sauce won the award...... I don't think there's a problem, it's just that you adults are just worrying. β
Sakai Masato never thought that he would not be able to handle these two girls, it seems that he still needs his brother.
Brother, where the hell are you?
We need you so badly!
It's a pity that there will be no response to the exchange of Sakai Masato.
"Alright, alright, be quiet, don't be embarrassed on this occasion. "Nagayama Kozo is also a little nervous at the moment.
He was ready to devote himself to the TV series, and he did the same, but he didn't expect that he could come to Cannes with a movie.
This is the Cannes Film Festival, and it is even sacred in the hearts of many filmmakers.
Yuki Kusano, are you okay with your appearance?
Prince Shochiku turned out to be on the same level as Sakai Masato.
It seems that everyone is nervous.
Fortunately, it has already started over there, and the host and award presenters continue to speak on stage.
Seriously, Takako Matsu couldn't understand what they were saying at all, even in English, she didn't even have two knives.
It's a shame, but as the award was being awarded, all of a sudden, it was as if I heard the word April.
April, this is April, right?
There's a story at the back, so that's the story.
So...
Suddenly, Nagayama Kozo and the others rose up and cheered.
"This ......" Takako Matsu was still a little confused.
But Yongshan laughed and said, "It's won! It's really won! It's the Golden Camera Award!"
What is the award for the "......" CamΓ©ra d'Or?
Takako Matsu was completely stunned, wait a minute, this seems to be the Newcomer Award, the Newcomer Director Award, right.
Anyway, cheer with everyone...
