Chapter 121: Academy Awards-Medium
The popularity of "Thousand Sakura" in later generations is actually not unrelated to the nostalgia of the lyrics and the grasp of pain points. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Fuso, the Taisho era was a very beautiful era, but because Emperor Taisho was mentally retarded and there were no territorial exploits in the Taisho era, Fuso historians and writers rarely depicted that era, believing that the conflict was not artistic enough. "Thousand Sakura" can be regarded as a precedent in this regard.
Huaxia officials may not know much about the history of Fusang, so they can't substitute this kind of emotion. Roughly translate it in human language, and you can understand it:
In the Meiji era of Taisho's father, although he always expanded his territory, in the end, the Rilu War was fought and the people were exhausted. The Lucians lost and lost without losing a dime, while the Fuso people still asked the British for a loan to buy a fleet in the Battle of Tsushima. In the years after the war, Fuso almost collapsed financially and economically, and the people were poor.
Taisho's son was in the Showa era, needless to say, there was both the Great Depression and the later war of aggression, although the invasion of China at the beginning took a little advantage, and in the end he was beaten out by his father in the United States, and all the territories that had been expanded in the past fifty years were spit out again.
In the Taisho era, because the emperor was mentally retarded, he would not be able to fight and make trouble, but his economic construction caught up with the super good dog S luck -- in the third year of Taisho, World War I broke out in Europe, and at that time, both Huaxia and Fuso experienced a "golden decade" of national industrial development.
Before the war, the Fuso people couldn't even build battleships, but after the European side was destroyed, Fuso made a lot of money by relying on the transfer of industrial orders during the war, and paid off the money owed to buy the fleet in the Meiji era, not to mention the establishment of a complete industrial system.
After the end of World War I, just in time for the post-war reconstruction of Europe, industrial orders continued to burst. As a result, there has been an eight-year "Coolidge boom" on the side of the United States, and the development of Fusang is almost as awesome.
After the death of Emperor Taisho, his son ascended the throne in 27 years, and in 29 years he encountered the Great Depression. Therefore, the Taisho era was an era of foolish people and foolish blessings, and even if the emperor was an idiot, the fortune of the country could not be stopped.
The lyrics of "Senbon Sakura" are very realistic and simple. doesn't sing high-pitched, it's almost plain and straightforward, but it can make people lustful and moved.
It didn't take long for the old pedants to be quiet, and one by one they were staring at each other.
It is equivalent to an emperor who mutters every day "Alas, if it had not been destroyed by the Tartars at the end of the Ming Dynasty, our Huaxia would definitely be the first in the world now", and when he had never heard of something called "historical travel novel" in this world, he suddenly gave him a copy of "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince" or "Stealing Ming", and then he suddenly found that "Hold the grass!"
"Senbon Sakura" directly hit the soft underbelly of those people.
By the time Kwon Bo-ah finished singing, the audience burst into applause that was even warmer than when Namie Amuro and Tomohisa Yamashita took the stage.
Quan Baoya walked back to her table from the backstage, and asked Gu Cheng for praise with a slight expression: "How did you sing just now?"
……
On the stage, because of the long-lasting applause, even Shinobu Terashima, who was about to announce the award, had to be interrupted twice. Then he re-brewed a good smile and began to announce tonight's drama meat:
"Best Editing Award - Let's get to know the performance of all the nominated films ~ Let's invite them to the stage ~ "
When Terashima Shinobu reported the curtain, Takashi Yamazaki had already gone backstage in advance.
The biggest difference between the Fuso Film Academy Awards and the Oscars in the award trophy is that the Oscars only let the final winners come to the stage, and the other nominees just report it. And Fuso, on the other hand, asked all the nominees to come up to the stage to get a certificate, and then give a trophy to the one who won the award.
Gu Cheng sat calmly under the stage, looking at Yamazaki Gui who seemed a little nervous, and when he walked on the stage, he also intentionally or unintentionally pulled people on the left and right, which made the editing directors of the crews of "Swing Girl" and "Looking for Love in the Center of the World" a little embarrassed.
On the big screen behind it, there are tidbits and comments of the five movies, the time control is very good, each one is only about twenty seconds, and when the five people walk to the position and stand up, the screen is almost shining.
"The award-winning film - "Sunset in the Three Chomes". Shinobu Terashima waited for the screen to finish blabla and announced the results.
Several veteran guests each held a certificate of merit and presented it to the five crews, among which the youngest Gao Deshao also held the trophy made of N polygonal patchwork, stuffed it into Yamazaki Gui's hand, and shook his hand heavily.
It was no surprise that the first prize was launched.
followed by the next link of the male host Sekiguchi Hongbao, alternating between men and women, and several marginal awards were sent out in 20 minutes.
"Sunset at the Third Chome" was a bumper harvest, only one of the best lights went to "Calling Love in the Center of the World", and the other soundtracks and visual effects were all received by the 3-chome crew.
At this point, the first small high-tide of the party has finally arrived.
Masami Nagasawa, Aya Ueto, Maki Horikita, and Apricot Suzuki stood on the stage together.
Then Shinobu Terashima took an envelope again, opened it in public, and pretended to be excited in a warm tone: "Best Supporting Actress - Masami Nagasawa!"
Gu Cheng could see that Maki Horikita's expression was a little expectant. When I heard the results reported, I couldn't help but droop.
She forced a smile back to Gu Cheng's table.
Fortunately, in the next link, Kim Sung-moo quickly won a city for "Sunset in the Three Chomes" in the Best Supporting Actor category.
Kwon Bo-ah happened to sit between Gu Cheng and Maki Horikita. She was praised by Gu Cheng just now, saying that she sang well, and she was in the right mood right now. Seeing that Horikita Maki was a little down, she poured a glass of sake for Horikita Maki and comforted:
"Don't worry, the Best Newcomer award must be that you didn't run. My brother told me that this kind of award is more or less about 'sharing pork'. You can't win the best newcomer and the best supporting actress again, "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" is also a pure love literary film, and it was the third in the total box office list last year, so they always have to win an award. ”
"Well, thank you, Sister Bao'er. Actually, I didn't want to expect much. Maki Horikita smiled shyly.
……
When the Fuso Film Academy Awards were first organized in the 70s, there were only 1,200 college judges. Later, it gradually expanded in the past 30 years, and now it has more than 3,000 judges, just like the Oscars in the United States.
However, among the more than 3,000 judges, there are always 1,200 contracted employees from Toho, Toei, and Shochiku. Therefore, the fairness of this award is naturally a little worse than the Oscar of the United States.
In other words, among the films invested and distributed by these large companies, the work of any one of them has about a 20% vote advantage over independent films, even if it is not bribed. This is also why Fuso's Academy Awards are not as easy to emerge as independent films like the Oscars in the United States.
On the U.S. side, there is Harvey Weinstein's Miramax Company that occasionally creates a few "tragedies" to make a name for independent films.
However, everything is relative, gradually developing, going back twenty or thirty years, back to the era when there was no Miramax in the United States, and its fairness is similar to the current Fusang.
In any case, there are some unspoken rules, but to win an award, at least a good movie must first be a good movie.
The process of awarding awards has gone through like water.
"Sunset in the Three Chomes" won several awards for Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography.
When it came to the Best Newcomer Award, Maki Horikita and Masami Nagasawa were on the same stage again, and there was also a Moriyama Mirai who was in the same crew as Masami Nagasawa.
"Newcomer of the Year - Maki Horikita! Congratulations. With Shinobu Terashima's slightly exaggerated tone, this time Maki Horikita finally had the last laugh.
However, this also confirms the conjecture of "dividing pork".
While holding the trophy, the 16-year-old girl almost cried, and the acceptance speech that she had been preparing for a long time was not good.
"I want to thank Gu Sang, well, he is the investor of this film and my life coach. He discovered me, invested in training me, and gave me this opportunity. I never thought I would be an actor without him, and I actually prepared a lot of acceptance speeches, but ...... I seem to have forgotten everything, I'm sorry!"
Masami Nagasawa, who is also one of the three goddesses of future Japanese dramas, almost rolled her eyes when she listened to it. But I have a kinship in my heart.
Gu Cheng is such a boss of Bole, it is really difficult to meet in the world.
"I ...... This movie is the first time I have made this movie, and I have never even made a TV series before. I also NG many times when I was shooting, but fortunately, Gu Sang and Director Cai were very tolerant of me, so I was just fine. I thought that as long as I memorized the testimonials tonight, I would definitely be able to play well, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't control my emotions. Maybe it's because it's live TV, and there's no chance of NG coming back, so I can't do it. ”
Horikita Maki is completely frightened, and he doesn't care about it, he definitely thinks of what to say.
The hostess Shinobu Terashima was about to go crazy in her heart, and she desperately tried her best to find a way to save Maki Horikita: "It seems that MAKI-chan will have to participate in more live variety show interviews when she goes back." However, to be able to become famous before being mentally prepared to become famous, no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it. ”
Horikita Maki was in a mess in his mind, bowed and prepared to step down, as if he had thought of something, and leaned over to the microphone and added: "There is still ...... I think my psychological quality is really not enough, and I don't have enough knowledge, so I am convinced that the best supporting actress lost to Sister Yamei. I can really only win the Best Newcomer award at the moment......"
After saying that, she hugged Masami Nagasawa before stepping down.
Although Maki Horikita's performance was messy, it made countless college judges think deeply. The old men thought again: "What the hell is wrong with Gu Cheng? Can make this little girl so desperate? When will it be the turn of the Huaxia people to let our Fusang women be so desperate? Even if you sleep, you won't worship it so much?"
If you are unwilling, you can't figure it out, and the facts are the facts.
