Chapter 408: A Two-pronged Approach! France Meets Xiaoxiang (Fourth Update)
Time is like a fast horse, rushing by without looking back.
It's already May in the blink of an eye, "The Collector" is still being released, and Mr. Onigo's works are still selling well.
But that's not all.
"Fierce battle! "Into the Division" attack Cannes!"
Can "The Diverter" win the Grand Prize at Cannes?"
"The Grand Event of Asian Cinema!" Cannes Film Festival has brought Asian wind ......"
The news that the film "Convergence" was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival has been confirmed.
Those who know will learn some of the inside information of the Cannes Film Festival, for example, although this film festival is very powerful and can be ranked first, but there are many places that are also very pitted, and there are many units in the film festival, some of these units are very good, and some are very scummy.
The most powerful is the main competition unit.
And the rest...... The worst thing is that there is a corner called the Film Corner, which can no longer be said to be a unit, but it is also part of the Cannes Film Festival, and it counts.
The Cinema Corner usually only needs to go to Cannes and give 80 euros to get your film there.
Some people rely on this to cheat, and 80 euros will become a film for the Cannes Film Festival.
Of course, "The Undertaker" was shortlisted for the main competition unit!
In other words, it is possible to compete for the Palme d'Or.
Japan, the country that worships foreign countries the most, is so much news that it is simply boosting morale.
The box office of the movie is another wave of impact, directly exceeding 10 billion yen!
This is already one of the best local live-action films in the Japanese film market in recent times.
The entire creative team was praised, and the two directors, Masahiro Motoki, Takeu Yamazaki, and Yui Aragaki, all became hot topics.
Yui, in particular, recently won the exclusive Meiji chocolate.
It's kind of amazing.
In addition, we are talking about Nissin instant noodles.
It is said to be the progenitor of chick ramen.
This ramen is really amazing...... Absolute high added value.
It's just a dough cake, there is nothing, and it sells very expensive, if you don't find an excellent spokesperson, it is estimated that it will be difficult to go out in a fool's way.
Well, this is called the ancestor, the ancestor.
Actually, it's not unpleasant.
Higashino Qiang congratulated the girl on this news, but Yui was very happy.
Lian said that Ernie sauce will eat instant noodles in the future, so let's treat her.
This...
Anyway, Yami also had a similar exclusive, which was also Nissin's, but Higashino Qiang gave it a no.
Why?
It was a series of Nissin...... Ra King.
This instant noodle in Japan is made with such a name, and it is just these two Chinese characters.
Higashino Qiang persuaded Yami to push it on the grounds that 'there may be a stalk'.
Masami knew the truth, so she laughed at the time......
These are happy times.
And right now, Higashino Qiang is going to a place.
Kyung Dae Hospital.
"Mr. Higashino, why are you here? Ha, are you not going to France?"
"Director Morita, I see that you look good. ”
"Haha...... I can't die for a while. ”
"Don't always talk about death or something. ”
"What are you afraid of? I'm sure Higashino-sensei is even more afraid, haha......"
"Okay, I'll reluctantly admit it. ”
Morita Yoshimitsu was sitting on the hospital bed reading a book, but when Higashino Qiang appeared, his spirit immediately became several notches stronger.
The two were joking, old friends saw each other.
Higashino Qiang came to this hospital to visit Director Morita, and as for the affairs of France, of course, I have to talk about it this time.
"About the award...... Higashino Qiang just started talking.
"Mr. Higashino, this award-winning thing is nothing. Morita shook his head directly, "I understand the teacher's intentions, but whether I can win the award or not is not important to me, please ask the teacher to pass on my mind to Takida, I hope he will not be too persistent, please." ”
Just by saying this, Director Morita actually understood everything.
Higashino Qiang couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was indeed a free and easy character.
But.
"Director Morita, don't worry, our film will definitely win an award. ”
Higashino Qiang still said such a sentence, very imposing words.
After hearing this, Morita Yoshimitsu's eyes glowed strangely, "Mr. Higashino said this, then, I will be relieved, looking forward to the award!
Higashino nodded when he heard this, and he could see that Director Morita was full of trust in him.
Okay, it's actually a bit bragging, but if you don't dare to say this, is it still Mr. Onigo?
The two talked about some topics later, and even Higashino Qiang sent his new work.
That is, the "Tokyo Lift", which has not yet been published.
Yoshimitsu Morita just took a brief look at it, and he thought it was very interesting and wanted to shoot it.
But.
He was immediately weakened.
Just looking at the book, it seems that for him, it is overusing his eyes.
The relationship between the eyes and the liver is not small.
The doctor came in and checked it out.
Yoshimitsu Morita said that it was nothing, but Higashino knew that he had left earlier.
After saying goodbye, we set out on the road to the airport.
......
Going to Cannes, France, for the film festival, of course, was planned beforehand.
It's just that Higashino Qiang's identity is relatively special, he is Higashino Teacher and Ghost Teacher, the original work is him, and the screenwriter also has him.
Since it's so special, let's 'play the big name' for a while.
There's no need to rush there.
Yojiro Takida, Masahiro Motoki, Nu Yamazaki, and Sister Ryoko have all passed in advance.
As for Yui, she has been getting a lot of endorsements recently, and participating in the film festival has little impact on her, so she decided not to go.
Therefore, Higashino Qiang set off at this time, and the reason is clear.
Flying from Japan to France is naturally a long one.
There was nothing to say on the plane, and when I arrived in Paris...
"Saikyo! Director Morita is really ...... Don't you have a chance?"
"Actually, he himself already understands that you guy, don't worry about him. ”
"Well, yes, but I always feel like it's a pity. ”
"Mr. Keigo, in this world, it's a pity that there are too many things, and all I can do is work hard. ”
Higashino took out his mobile phone again and pretended to call.
Mr. Keigo, the ghost, wiped his tears while floating.
To tell the truth, this ghost is indeed full of feelings.
Previously, Higashino Qiang had already told Mr. Keigo that the movie "The Undertaker" would have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
So, is it possible to win the Palme d'Or this time in Cannes?
Anyway, he bragged in front of Director Morita.
But when it really comes to this juncture, you can only do your best and obey the destiny of heaven.
On the itinerary, the destination is Cannes, but you have to go to Paris first.
This romantic city is of great significance to the Japanese.
There used to be such news.
A Japanese longs for Paris too much, but when he arrives here, he finds that it is either green or black, and then there are all kinds of pickpockets, dirty and messy.
Committed suicide.
I don't know if this happened.
But Higashino is here, should you have a fun time in this Paris?
"Higashino-kun!"
Just when Higashino was struggling with this problem, a familiar business came from behind.
"Huh?" quickly put away his phone.
"What, pretend not to know?" the other party looked like a teacher asking for guilt.
"No, but, why are you here?"
"Paris, the capital of romance, can't I come?"
"Yes, of course, and besides, with a little fragrance in Paris, I'm afraid it will shine. ”
"Haha......"
It turned out to be Xiaoxiang, at this moment, she smiled sweetly and lovely, and her little buckteeth were exposed again.
The so-called, ten beautiful and nine bucks, honest and not deceiving.
Higashino shook his head, decided to get rid of the mess, and then said, "That, seriously, why are you in France, Xiaoxiang?"
"Seriously, why can't I come?"
"Well, you know what I mean. ”
"Higashino-kun, are you a little too narcissistic?"
"This ...... Well, yes......"
Higashino was a little embarrassed, after all, it was too embarrassing to say, 'Did you come to France because of me?', and he had already expressed it through such a subtext.
was also scolded by someone else's little incense.
But Higashino really didn't expect it.
Xiaoxiang smiled: "Seriously, I'm here for you, can't I?"
This...
Higashino has a defeated look on his face.
But he did not speak.
Xiao Xiang seemed to be a little anxious, "How is it?"
"......" still doesn't speak.
"Really?"
"......" still didn't speak.
"Don't go too far!"
Some want to be angry.
Higashino Qiang laughed at this time, "You're here, what else can I say?"
Interesting, this guy Higashino Qiang has brought the scene back.
Xiaoxiang may not know the meaning of this 'looking for a scene', but she can't help but cross-bow and say, "You're so bad!"
Higashino Qiang had no choice but to smile and say, "Aren't I just very vicious?"
And this stubble.
Xiaoxiang was about to explode, "It's too much!
Higashino Qiang felt that it was almost there, so he said: "I came to France for one purpose, the Cannes Film Festival. ”
With that, we are ready to set off.
Xiao Xiang chased after her, "Hey, aren't you going to stay in Paris for a few days?"
Higashino Qiang said in his heart, he originally planned to do so, but now......
"Cannes. ”
The pace doesn't stop.
Xiaoxiang stomped her foot and followed.
......
Higashino's trip to France is just the beginning, but it is destined to be extraordinary.
Whether "The Undertaker" can achieve something in Cannes is still unknown.
However, there is another big incident on the Japanese side.
"Shock! The World Science Fiction Convention will be held in Tokyo!"
"The Oscars of science fiction, the Hugo Award will be born in Japan!"
"This is the first time that Japan has hosted the World Science Fiction Convention, and it is destined to be an unprecedented event!"
Here it is, here comes this convention.
After the efforts of a few old men, the World Science Fiction Convention has finally settled in Japan, and it will be held in Tokyo, and there will be science fiction fans from all over the world gathered in Japan.
If it's located in Tokyo, it's probably Big-Sight.
Well, maybe there won't be as many participants as the C70 by then.
But it's definitely an achievement.
Just at the same time.
"Mr. Onigo's latest work, "Tokyo Lift" is on sale!"
"There has been! Onigo-sensei's true sci-fi!"
"Many famous people commented: Is this really a science fiction?"
It turned out to be a two-pronged approach.
