Chapter 266: Female Companion Candidates
The first of several major film awards is the 80th Japan Film Shunbo Awards.
Three days before the awards ceremony, that is, on February 18th, the winners of the 80th Japan Film Shunshin Awards were announced!
The list of winners is as follows: The best work is a comedy drama film directed by Korean-Japanese director Lee Sang-il, starring Taiko Matsuyuki, and starring Yu Aoi, Etsuji Toyokawa and others in important supporting roles, "Fuso Flower Girl".
"Fusang Flower Girl" is said to be a "big nominee" at this year's major film award ceremonies, and it is also a "big winner who is expected to win the award".
Although the starring actor Matsuyuki Taiko missed the "Queen", the Best Supporting Actress award was won by the outstanding literary girl in this comedy drama, Yu Aoi.
"Fusang Flower Girl", which won two awards for Best Work and Best Supporting Actress, finally became the biggest winner.
However, in the eyes of many people in the film industry, this "Fusang Flower Girl" is not the biggest winner, the biggest winner is the gem that was discovered by the public by relying on "Fusang Flower Girl", Yu Aoi!
This young lady, relying on this "Fuso Flower Girl", has won 15 acting awards in a row, and is also called "one of the three pillars of the future Japanese film industry" by Japanese filmmakers
The Best Actor was won by Ken Watanabe, a big actor who has stepped onto the international stage, with his superb performance in "Memories of Tomorrow".
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who competed with Ken Watanabe for Best Actor, also missed his first actor award.
But this is also normal, although Kiyoshi Sakamoto's performance in the "Death Note" two-part series is very good, and it also makes people exclaim that he is "Night God Moon"!
However, not to mention that he is only seventeen years old and has only been a shallow qualification for one year after his debut, judging from the nature of the film alone, "Death Note" starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a commercial film, while "Memories of Tomorrow" starring Ken Watanabe is the favorite tear-jerking and heartwarming film of the Japanese.
Commercial films, by nature, are weaker than literary films in terms of awards, which is a well-known secret in the Japanese film industry, which is very influenced by the United States.
Even people who are not insiders know that in film awards, films with high box office are often less favored by film awards.
What's more, it is the oldest, most qualified, and most authoritative Japanese film Shunbao Award in Japan...
Therefore, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto showed superb acting skills that did not match his age in the "Death Note" two-part series, even if the box office of the "Death Note" two-part series exceeded 10 billion, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the first actor in Heisei to star in a movie with a box office of more than 10 billion, he could not win the trophy for Best Actor from Ken Watanabe...
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is only seventeen years old this year, as long as he follows this rhythm and goes step by step, he will still have a lot of opportunities to win the throne of the actor in the future.
To borrow a quote from a retired NBA Hall of Fame star.
"The future is yours!"
。。。
On February 21st, Kiyoshi Sakamoto officially began his Devil's Week!
First, I took Uncle Ishida's nanny car to the Asahi Theater in Tokyo to attend the award ceremony of the 80th Japan Film Shunbo Awards.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Kenichi Matsuyama, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the crew of "Death Note", sat together.
While reminiscing about the old days and watching the awards ceremony, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also took the stage to receive the first film trophy in his life, the Best Newcomer Award at the Film Xunbao Awards.
Standing on the award stage, he held the trophy and said his acceptance speech.
"It's a great honor to win this newcomer award, which is the greatest affirmation of my acting skills!"
"Last year, I starred in Death Note for the first time as a film haiyu, which was my first film and my first film starring in, and I am very grateful to the director Kaneko-san, and the screenwriter Oishi-san, the producer... ”
In his speech on the stage, Kiyoshi Sakamoto fully showed his honor and disgrace, calm and rational side.
After all, in the end, it's just a newcomer award, and there's nothing to show off and be moved...
Finally, in a round of applause, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked off the stage with the trophy in his arms.
。。。。。。
After the first award ceremony, Sakamoto Kiyoshi behaved more calmly at the next second award ceremony.
Also three days before the awards ceremony, that is, on February 20, the winners of the 61st Daily Film Awards were also announced.
The best work is not "Fuso Flower Girl", which won the film Shunbo Awards, but the feature film "Swing" starring Kiriyo Oda, a golden supporting role, and one of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's favorite actors, "Uncle Kagawa" Teruyuki Kagawa and Yoko Maki.
Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto still received two nominations this time, when the list came out, they were Best Actor and Best Newcomer.
However, in the end, it was the award that I just won.
Best Newcomer Award.
And the best actor who has a little relationship with him has also changed into another person, and the winner has changed from Ken Watanabe in "Memories of Tomorrow" to Hiroshi Sato in "Pray to the Snow".
It is worth mentioning that at this year's major award ceremonies, a woman's acting skills were also widely affirmed by the public.
This woman is thirty-one-year-old Miki Nakatani!
2006 was the year when the prophecy of the "revival" of Japanese cinema came true.
This year, the domestic box office of the Japanese film market hit a new record of 100 billion yen, accounting for 55% of the total box office revenue. This is the first time since 1985 that a Japanese film has defeated Hollywood!
Among them, there are not only the most high-profile films, the two-part "Death Note" starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto, which swept the domineering box office of 10 billion, but also "Men's Yamato", which returned to the film industry and spanned the publishing and film tycoon Haruki Kadokawa, and "Japan Sinks", "Samurai's Cent" and other good films, which not only have a good reputation, but also perform well at the box office.
Among them, Tetsuya Nakajima, a famous advertising director who stood out with "The Tale of Shimozuma", directed "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko", which touched the whole of Japan with an extremely tear-jerking story.
In it, the performance of the leading actor Miki Nakatani let the world know what a charismatic actor she is.
Miki Nakatani also relied on her excellent performance in this film to win two "actresses" in a row, the Film Newspaper Award and the Daily Film Award, and she was unrivaled for a while.
Together with Yu Aoi, it constitutes a beautiful scenery at the major film awards ceremonies in 2007. . .
。。。。。。
On February 23rd, the 61st Mainichi Film Awards were held in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Kanagawa, located just half an hour south of Tokyo and only half an hour away from Tokyo, is also part of the Tokyo metropolitan area.
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's participation in the Mainichi Film Awards this time is the same boring as the last time he participated in the Film Awards.
It is also to be present, wait, go on stage to receive the award, give an acceptance speech, get off the stage, and go home.
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, when he was offstage, had already considered the next film school award in his mind.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto was annoyed.
All this started after he got the invitation to the Film Academy Award.
On that invitation, the organizer of the Japanese Academy Awards Association, actually made a trick.
At this year's Film Academy Awards, in order to attract the public's attention and add more momentum to the Film Academy Awards, which has just celebrated its 30th anniversary, all male candidates nominated are required to bring female companions!
As soon as this news came out, the upcoming Film Academy Awards on the 27th immediately became the focus of attention in the Japanese entertainment industry and even in Japan as a whole.
Because, this is the first time that the Film Academy Awards has been asked for this since its establishment 30 years ago!
Such a request, from the perspective of industry insiders, is actually a trick by the organizer of the Japan Academy Awards Association, which wants to regain people's attention and attract people's attention to the Academy Awards, which are increasingly questioned.
Because, at the 29th Academy Film Awards last year, "Forever 3-chome Sunset" won all 12 other awards except for Best Actress, which called into question the authority and fairness of the Academy Awards, so that the angry public shouted the slogan "I will not watch this pork-sharing and internal award ceremony again!", which greatly challenged the number of viewers of this year's Academy Awards.
Seeing such a situation, the organizers, who were a little unexpected, also came up with such a gimmick after discussion, hoping to make the commemorative 30th anniversary and the number of viewers not plummet.
However, for the other nomination candidates, it is not a difficult task, after all, no matter how bad it is, just find a friend to go with you.
It's just that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a newcomer who participated in the academy award for the first time, happened to encounter such an incident, which made him feel very embarrassed.
He was embarrassed, not because he had no one to invite, but because he didn't know who to invite.
In the past few years since he entered the entertainment industry, he has met many female artists in the circle, and there are many girls of the same age as him, who have become his friends.
Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa, Atsuko Maeda, Yuriko Yoshida, Erika Toda, Yuu Kashii, etc.
However, among these people, it is more difficult to invite one to come out as a female companion and accompany him to attend the film academy awards.
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also has his own set of methods, that is, the method of elimination!
The first thing to rule out is that he doesn't know him well and currently has a boyfriend.
After all, he doesn't want to be beaten by his boyfriend...
Therefore, the one who was eliminated in the first round of the "First Sakamoto Kiyoshi Female Companion Trial" was Sister Yuyu Kashii, who had fallen in love with Oda Kirirang.
In the second round, what was excluded was ordinary friends who were not too familiar with him.
Toda Erika Toda, Atsuko Maeda, Sayako and others were eliminated.
Therefore, the one who entered the final round was the "two sauces" who had known Kiyoshi Sakamoto for three years, and Yuriko Yoshitaka, who was saved by a hero.
"Ka-chan" Aragaki Yui, "Sesame Sauce" Masami Nagasawa, Yuriko Yoshitaka, the three beauties, which one to invite...
Kiyoshi Sakamoto is very troubled by this.
