Chapter 308: The name of Yuki Kusano echoes in the sky over the whole of Europe!
"Hehe, this guy ......"
As the producer of "Old Boy", of course, Kozo Nagayama also came to Berlin, but he never expected that this time Yuki Kusano would directly assign him a task.
Of course, it can't be said that it is an assignment, this guy said so.
"If you want the film to win something, then you have to do it. β
Isn't this similar to assigning tasks, but Yuki Kusano's approach is quite interesting.
It should be said that this method is not too strange, but it may be shy for Japanese people.
Moreover, Yuki Kusano's guy is also different, he said that he would not show his face in public, then, he would not show his face, and this time it was the same.
But, how?
I actually want to help him publicize it well!
When Kozo Nagayama heard this, he really wanted to knock on the head of this guy Yuki Kusano.
Are you mistaken, asking me to do this kind of thing?
However, in fact, it is not that difficult, and this so-called 'propaganda' is now mainly used to take advantage of the situation.
What is the current situation of Yuki Kusano?
The young director had just won a heavyweight American Film Critics Award before!
Moreover, Kusano's previous films have also continued to do well at the box office, and he is definitely the best young director in the Japanese film industry at present!
In addition, Kozo Nagayama himself knew that at the Takarazuka Building, Yuki Kusano and Akira Kurosawa met.
Who arranged this meeting?
Naturally, it is Dongbao's side, and he, the prince of Shochiku, is also very clear.
This is definitely one of the big events in Japanese films, that is to say, the content of this meeting will definitely be revealed!
Whether Yuki Kusano wants to or not, it must be so.
Even, Kurosawa himself must be very eager to make it public, because this is what he should do, this is an encouragement from seniors to juniors, there is nothing wrong with making it public, on the contrary, it will have a better effect.
It's just that this matter is also obvious, and it puts a lot of pressure on Yuki Kusano.
So...... Done!
Isn't it just blowing your grass overseer?
Come on, I'm the prince of Shochiku and I'm done!
Of course, Yuki Kusano made it very clear that this 'propaganda' was going to go from Japan to Europe.
This guy asks for a lot.
......
The Berlinale will open on February 10th, and the closing ceremony will be set on the 23rd, and before the opening, there is already a storm.
"I'll leave it to you for future movies in Japan!
"The hope of Japanese films!" Director Kusano has high hopes for Akira Kurosawa!"
"Great Hope!" Director Kusano will shoulder the burden of the rise of Japanese films!"
It came, and it came.
When the news of Kurosawa's meeting with Yuki Kusano in Takarazuka spread, the Japanese media buzzed like flies seeing blood.
In fact, this incident represents a kind of inheritance, and in the current situation of the great ebb of Japanese cinema, Kurosawa is quite correct and meaningful to do so.
Of course, it has to be public, and if it is not public, it will not be in vain.
And everybody is actually happy to see it, no matter who it is.
The media has news to hype, the audience is even more enthusiastic, and there are some 'small' problems in the current economic situation, and almost everyone wants to see 'hope'.
So, naturally.
Soon, this logical way came to Europe, to Berlin.
"Director Kusano has already won the CamΓ©ra d'Or at Cannes before, so it's likely to go one step further this time, right?"
"The movie 'Oldboy' is based on a comic, and the plot is quite shocking!"
"We don't know how the 'Old Boy' movie is yet, but there is no doubt about the level of Kusano's supervision!"
Before the opening of the film festival, there were many Japanese people on the streets of Berlin, and these reporters who came from afar were quite hard in the cold wind.
Of course, they will also interview many people, such as the organizing committee of the festival, as well as the members of the jury.
Zhang Manyu is one of the characters that Japanese reporters are more familiar with, and her movies also have quite fans in Japan, of course, they can't be compared with Bruce Lee and Big Brother Dragon, but she has also worked with Big Brother Dragon many times.
This time, she was interviewed by many Japanese media.
"I really don't know much about Superintendent Kusano, but I've seen his previous works, and the "April Story" is really excellent, and it tells such a moving story under such a plain shot. β
It should be said that Zhang Manyu's evaluation is quite pertinent and sincere.
It didn't take long for the newspaper to appear.
That's good, but that's what I heard at first.
Slowly, Zhang Manyu found out, why are there so many Japanese media!?
It's true that after there are too many things, it will make people feel bored.
But soon, Zhang Manyu heard such rumors.
A rookie supervised by Akira Kurosawa, who has high hopes!
Is Yuki Kusano such a powerful guy?
This made Zhang Manyu take a look at Yutaka Kusano.
The festival hasn't even opened yet, but a name seems to be ringing in the sky over Berlin.
Yuki Kusano!
......
The time soon came on February 10th, and the Berlinale opened as scheduled.
Like all international A-level film festivals, on the red carpet, star-studded, around the red carpet, there is constant flash.
Celebrities, celebrities, directors, celebrities, and almost all of Europe's film-related personalities gather here.
There are also many fans who come to watch.
However, this time there is a strange phenomenon.
"Oh I know him, his movies are amazing!"
"I've seen his movies and it's been amazing!"
"That 'Killing Game'...... Oh my God!"
It's really strange that whoever seems to have to mention the name Yuki Kusano, director Kusano or director Kusano, although others didn't come here, but, he was always mentioned.
It's as if if you don't know his movies, then you can't keep up with the trend.
The Japanese media will not talk about it, they are too active one by one.
The main creative team of "Old Boy" didn't talk about it, their biggest problem was that Yuki Kusano didn't come.
The others were always asked about Yuki Kusano's supervision, and they were happy.
It's not just Kozo Nagayama, the initiator...... Oh yes, he's a producer now.
In addition, Sawada Kasaku and Fukasaku Kenta are also very positive.
"My brother has always been my idol! This time he has been affirmed by Akira Kurosawa's seniors, and I am happy for him!"
"Kusano has always been the best of us, although I am a senior, but I have always been taken care of by him. β
Kenta Fukasaku has been emphasizing his brother, and Sawada is even more shameless, and at this time he is also emphasizing his predecessors or something.
Forget it, this is also the daily routine of the two of them.
As for the protagonist Takeshi Kitano, as well as the heroine Shizuka, they are naturally happy.
"I liked this movie as soon as I heard it! As for the award, don't ask me about it, and besides, Kurosawa's predecessor is also the filmmaker I respect the most. β
"It's not the first time I've worked with him, it's not the first time. β
The emphasis of the two is also a little different, but it can be seen that they are very interested in the award.
Actually, there is another leading actor, that is Hiroyuki Sanada.
"It's an honor to work with the Kusano Supervisor!"
Recently, Hiroyuki Sanada has caught the line of Hollywood, can he not be happy?
The previous "Killing Game" also has this "Old Boy", and even the later "The Matrix" will have him.
Hiroyuki Sanada is simply obedient to Yuki Kusano.
And so and so, but it seems that it is not enough.
Soon, there was also a figure talking about Yuki Kusano.
"Oh, Director Kusano, I know him! Yes, it's because of him that I starred in Midnight Bell, and he's an absolute gentleman......"
It was Nicole Kidman who said this.
This kind of international A-level film festival, Hollywood's big beauty, the world's famous big beauty, it's too strange not to be there.
And she directly defined Yuki Kusano, the man of the hour in Berlin, as a gentleman, this gentleman...... It must be said that gentleman at this time is still a good word.
It was an unexpected assist, an assist from Hollywood!
In this way, at the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, although Yuki Kusano was not present, his name is like a legend.
So, what happens next?
The opening ceremony was over, and there was good news right away.
The film "Oldboy", along with many other masterpieces, was shortlisted for the main competition!
The international A-level film festival looks at the main competition unit.
SO ...
"You guy, it seems like your name is all over Europe right now. β
In the hotel, Shizuka looks out the window at Berlin, and the gloomy feeling of winter is isolated by glass.
Yuki Kusano came from behind and gently wrapped his arms around her.
I didn't speak, I made a mistake very simply...
