"Old Boy" won the Berlin Golden Bear.

"The Killing Game" won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award.

These two movies haven't been officially released yet, and right now, there is just such a schedule that can be considered okay.

March!

It should be said that if you look at the holidays, then March seems to be better than the summer.

Because the college entrance examination in Japan is in February, and then many schools choose to release the results in March, this time should be the most relaxed time for students.

However, it may be because they are too relaxed, and life is really good, so many students choose to travel after the holidays.

Those who have money go abroad, and those who don't have money travel within Japan.

Do you want to watch a movie or not?

You may or may not see it.

Therefore, it is really hard to say what this schedule is.

As a result, some people have a headache.

......

Fuji TV.

"Morning team leader!"

"The team leader has worked hard!"

Yuki Kusano returned to work, and this time the morning greeting was particularly different.

The staff are very energetic.

Very good.

Of course, Yuki Kusano responded one by one, but as soon as he came to the Film Bureau, he immediately saw Kozo Nagayama.

The guy was holding a golden bear in his hand, and at the same time, everyone else was ...... I feel like I'm going to drool.

"Aha! You're at work. ”

"Shouldn't I come?"

Yuki Kusano's words had a strong yin and yang aura, you know, this has never happened before.

Kozo Nagayama's identity, who in the TV station still doesn't know?

So, in an instant, Morita, Sawada, and even that Akiyama senior wanted to take protective measures.

However, to their great surprise, Kozo Nagayama didn't care at all.

"Haha...... Of course you should come! Of course you should come! And, by coincidence, you just happened to have something to talk about, the ownership of this trophy. ”

"Huh?" Yuki Kusano never expected that there would be a problem with the ownership of this trophy.

Obviously, a fool can also think about why this guy Nagayama Kozo said this, he must be ......

"'Oldboy' won the best picture, which is really good, and this movie was invested by Fuji TV, as well as Stardust Arts, Toho, Shochiku, such a movie, there is so much investment, and this is the best picture award, so, of course, this trophy should stay on Fuji TV. ”

This...

Morita, as the director, scratched his head at this time.

As Yuki Kusano's person, he should stand up and say something.

But what could he say?

Generally speaking, even if it is this kind of award for best film, it should be given to the director, after all, the most important person in a film is the director, not to mention, the most important person in Japanese films is the director.

Supervision is the center, the absolute core, of Japanese filmmaking.

The script is his, of course, there are many people involved in the work of the script, such as the writing of some lines, it is difficult for one person to do all the work, but at least one supervisor has to make the most important decision on the script.

Director, according to the Japanese parlance, this is called performance, that is, to design the shot, to tell the story with the lens, to show the most important thing in the whole story, this is definitely the job of supervision.

There are many other jobs, and in Japanese films, the power of supervision is so great, so to speak.

Always responsible!

Not to mention, on a global scale, this kind of award is for directors.

It's just that Yuki Kusano is more special.

So now, Kozo Nagayama wants to leave this award on Fuji TV and put this award in the Film Business Bureau, how will Yuki Kusano deal with this matter?

"Oh well. ”

The overseer of the grass, the leader of the group, and the man of the hour actually agreed!

"Ah, there's Gada. ”

"That's pretty good, too. ”

"Anyway, I took down the golden bear, where to put this, haha......"

Awkward celebration.

But at this moment, the face of this guy changed and he laughed, "Kidding you!

Directly shoved the golden bear into Yuki Kusano's hand, and then hooked his shoulders and put it on his back.

This...

"Oops!

"Great!"

"I knew it was so!"

It seems that the scene just now is being broadcast again, and it is really difficult to describe it.

Then, maybe it can only be said that this guy Kozo Nagayama is too much.

But does anyone dare to say that?

Fortunately, I celebrated twice anyway, and I didn't suffer a loss.

......

"Are you kidding?"

"You guy, you know? There's a proposal to keep this award on TV. ”

"Oh. ”

"Do you guess it's Dashan or Xiaoting?"

"I don't know. ”

"You're a very tight-mouthed guy. ”

"Haha......"

Yuki Kusano was holding the golden bear, and originally Kozo Nagayama also proposed to take a photo, but Yuki Kusano directly refused.

Well, that's right, I'm never photographed, so don't try to take advantage of that.

Of course, many people are disappointed, but it is not a big deal.

After that, Yuki Kusano and Kozo Nagayama simply came to the director's office of the Film Business Bureau.

Morita didn't come in, just the two of them.

It's so funny, the two team leaders are here, and the director is outside.

Obviously, there are some things to say, and Yuki Kusano is very clear, but he didn't expect that it was the invitation of Nagayama Kozo.

That's right, the joke about the Golden Bear trophy before, it should be this guy who is showing his ability.

Look, I helped you Superintendent Kusano keep this award, otherwise, this award might really stay on Fuji TV.

According to the rules, it should be for the director himself, but if someone makes a fuss about it, it's really powerful, don't forget what kind of country Japan is.

Here, the squeezing of individuals by large corporations is all-encompassing, not to mention that there is a reason now.

You Yuki Kusano didn't show up at the award ceremony, isn't it okay to make some sacrifices for the TV station?

Fortunately, this guy Kozo Nagayama was able to help, and Yuki Kusano also understood why this Prince Shochiku would be so helpful.

"After I leave the TV station, I will cooperate with Shochiku more. ”

"Yes, yes, I knew that Yuki Kusano was a smart person. ”

These two guys still have a bit of a feeling of sympathy for each other, but they are all very smart and know what the other is expressing.

Next, Kozo Nagayama continued his invitation.

"My solution is to make a copy of this golden bear and leave it on the TV station, so that it will be good for everyone, and ......"

Prince Shochiku Balabala continued, and Yuki Kusano had to scratch his head, "If there are any other important things, you have said it." ”

"Isn't it time for a movie?"

Sure enough, this is it.

Should it be released in March?

This is a very important decision, and, most importantly, ...... No one wants to take the blame!

This is another part of the Japanese workplace that fully reflects it.

Now, "Oldboy" and "Killing Game" have both won awards, and in Japan, foreign awards are better than domestic awards, not to mention the top award of one of the three major international film festivals.

But!

What if these two movies are released and the box office is not good?

That's right, no one will want to carry this pot!

The key is that now that the release is arranged, there is only such a choice as March and April, but these two months are bad months.

Therefore, a seemingly unimportant matter, or even a big chance of winning, is unresolved!

Even a prince of Shochiku like Kozo Nagayama came over to ask Yuki Kusano.

Moreover, is this a question for Yuki Kusano?

This is ready to give him a pot.

Yuki Kusano really couldn't help laughing, it seems that this big Japanese company is like this, and he is at the end.

Let's do it.

"I should have left the TV station after the release. ”

The young overseer said this, as if he had played a dumb riddle.

But Kozo Nagayama immediately understood, "Okay, I see." ”

Yes, Yuki Kusano's attitude is to release it in March, and he directly mentioned his resignation.

Prince Shochiku continued: "During this period of time, are you not going to come to work at the TV station?"

"Am I still wasting time coming here every day?"

"It's so heartless. ”

Prince Songzhu's tone is really unbearable.

Yuki Kusano wants to complain, you old guy, don't be so disgusting, but unfortunately, you can't say that now.

Kozo Nagayama laughed to himself, "In the future, I hope I don't become an enemy." ”

He held out his hand.

Kusano didn't hesitate and shook it, "I don't really want to be an enemy of anyone. ”

This is what the young overseer had in his heart.

It's just that someone is in my way. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
