Chapter 306: "Old Boy" is shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival!
"Is Japanese cinema finally going to shock the world again?"
"Great Hope! Kusano Supervisor! Bearer of the Future of Japanese Cinema!"
"Will Superintendent Kusano win an Oscar one day?"
"Is it possible to be a world-class superintendent?!"
It's only a critics' award, and the film hasn't been released in Japan yet, but it's an American award.
It seems that Japanese films have won very few international awards in recent years, especially compared to Chinese films.
Perhaps it should be said that in recent years, Chinese films have not only risen strongly in Asia, but also have considerable influence on a global scale.
Of course, this is talking about winning awards, as for the Chinese film market, it is still quite weak at present.
However, there are also people who see the potential of Chinese films in the future, and now there are rumors in the Japanese film industry that Kadokawa Pictures is going to make a big move.
Of course, these news have nothing to do with Yuki Kusano's award this time, but it can also be seen that Japan currently lacks a director who can make a name for himself in the world.
In fact, this matter has been around for a long time.
Yuki Kusano himself knows very well that if it weren't for his appearance, then the original Japanese film would have created a so-called 'Japanese New Film Movement' during this time period.
The movement began in 1985 when a number of young directors put forward their new ideas to make new genres of cinema in order to reverse the decline of Japanese cinema.
And he has done very well in this movement, including young film directors like Shunji Iwai.
It's different now, Yuki Kusano has appeared, and although the Japanese New Film Movement also has a relevant manifesto, the results are relatively average.
That's right, the slogan was shouted in 85, but the movie that was born after that, it seems that the representative character Yojiro Takida, hasn't the famous 'Crazy Man Series' been filmed?
Could it be that the New Cinema Movement is making this kind of film?
It does make people blush a little.
Therefore, for the moment, Japanese films really need a standard-bearer, and it is best that he is still young and promising.
And Yuki Kusano, almost meets the full range of conditions.
How did Yuki Kusano react to this?
He doesn't give interviews.
Not long after, some details from the American side reached the island nation of Japan.
......
"The director's personal style and his strong irony can be seen in this film!"
"There is indeed a lot to discuss about the death penalty, but for the appearance of such a murderous demon in a society, it is definitely a meaningful social attempt to make a satire with a film work!"
"We are resolute against any crime against a child, no matter who he is, and what disease he suffers from!"
After all, it takes a certain amount of time for the news from the United States to reach Japan, and some details are still difficult to know at first.
Bill, a film critic, is really blowing it with all his might this time, of course, his personal purpose is very simple, that is, as far as a film critic is concerned, if he finds a director's work as a 'treasure', then while raising this person to a high position, the film critic himself will also have great benefits.
Like all art, the art critic who first discovered Van Gogh's work was considered a master by the times, and the art critic himself achieved great success.
This is actually a common routine in the European and American art circles, and discovering an artist is sometimes more significant than the artwork itself.
Actually, as far as Van Gogh's works are concerned, of course, the paintings are very good, but in fact, he was relatively poor in front of him, so the paints and everything he used were very cheap at the time.
Of course, no one cares about that anymore.
What Bill wants to do now is the one who 'discovered the great Japanese director'!
As for these, the Japanese media don't care.
"The Kusano Superintendent will win more Oscars, right?"
"Shame on you! The Miyazaki incident has spread to the United States!"
"The United States has a death penalty! Shouldn't Japanese law learn from the United States?"
For a while, it seems that tomorrow, Yuki Kusano will be able to win the Oscar, and it seems that tomorrow, Miyazaki Ken will be sentenced to death.
Public opinion is quite explosive.
So, what about Yuki Kusano?
This guy doesn't accept interviews, which is really uncomfortable for reporters.
However, here comes the big news again.
"The latest broadcast, Kusano's latest masterpiece "Old Boy" will participate in the Berlin Film Festival. ”
This news from Fuji TV really responds to that sentence.
A wave of unsettled waves!
......
Maybe it's a little weird not to be interviewed, but Yuki Kusano is a serious supervisor after all.
He did one thing right, and that was the bathtub in his home, which was right.
"Ayuki, you're too powerful, this time you're going to Berlin again. ”
"Yes, although I don't want to learn from my sister's talk, but this time it's really amazing!"
Miho Nakayama, a big thing, couldn't help but screw her sister, how did she talk just now?
Don't want to learn from my sister?
Hum!
Nakayama Shinobu laughed and threw himself into Yuki Kusano's chest, which was really excellent.
"Oops, it's too much!" "My sister was attacked by my sister.
Yuki Kusano had no choice but to speak at this time, "You two, don't praise me anymore, I don't dare to go to Fuji TV now, their side is full of good words every day, and I can't stand it." ”
The Zhongshan sisters all laughed, it was really rippling, and their hearts were also rippling.
In fact, Yuki Kusano did have the idea of winning the award this time, but some things were not planned, such as being recommended by the Wachowski brothers to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
However, "Old Boy" he planned to go to Berlin, after all, this Berlin Film Festival is an international A-level film festival, and this film has a better chance of winning awards.
Of course, now he is the director of this film, not the Korean version, and a lot of things in it have been modified.
But right now, in terms of the situation, his fame has reached a very high level, this award......
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, if I don't win the Berlin Film Festival this time, a large number of people will definitely jump out and scold me. ”
As soon as Yuki Kusano's words came out, the Nakayama sisters immediately thought of someone.
"That Kazuo Chihiro?"
"That old guy is so annoying, and now he doesn't make any films, but he acts like he's so good. ”
Two Nakayama, the same complaint, but in fact, this is the daily life of Japan.
A lot of old guys are just squatting in front of them, and they don't do anything, they just point fingers at their juniors, and they can still live well, and many people have to send sycophants.
That Kusano Yuki this time...
"Ayuki, you're sure to get the grand prize, right?"
"Yes, absolutely. ”
Kusano couldn't help but make a move to spread his wings, and the sisters were all good, "Don't forget, I can't appear in public." ”
Yes, just under this condition, Yuki Kusano seems to be a little far away from the grand prize.
What to do?
But at this time, the door was opened.
Yuki Kusano's face turned red when he heard the voice, and the Zhongshan sisters rolled their eyes at him directly.
This guy is too much, who the hell is it?
"Luck...... Huh, Sister Miho?!...... You ???"
It turned out to be a Uchida girl.
"Ahem, you're here, huh? No, how do you have the key?"
"What's going on?"
Sister Dawu is okay to say, after all, she is still a real big thing in front of Sister Uchida, an idol who is worshipped, and the other party is just her little follower.
However, Shinobu Nakayama couldn't help it.
It was screwed on Kusano's chest.
What can I do now?
"That ......" Yuki Kusano's face was shy, maybe it was painful, but he still said, "The bathtub is big, and I'm tired, right?"
These words ...
"It's too much!" Uchida's sister is angry?
She never expected that her idol Sister Miho would be...
No matter!
It was a wonderful night.
In February 1997, the main creative team of "Old Boy" flew to Berlin, Germany.
