Chapter 277: Inviting the saury

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Other work during the filming of the TV series can also be done, on January 18, Zhou Xiao took two days out of his busy schedule to fly to the United States, because the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was about to start.

As the sentinel battle of the Oscars, "Ju Day" was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Comedy Film and Best Comedy Actress, but Zhou Xiao actually didn't care much about the Golden Globe Awards. It is good to be able to win, but even if you can't get it, it's nothing, as for the so-called Golden Globe Award is an Oscar outpost or something, in Zhou Xiao's view, this statement is for English movies, languages other than English, especially Asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese, even if they win the Golden Globe Award, they may not work on the Oscar stage.

With such an idea, Zhou Xiao boarded a flight to Los Angeles with Aoi Miyazaki and others.

Among the several shortlisted awards of the movie, only Miyazaki Aoi's award is an individual award, not to mention whether he can win the award, just being shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards, all of which make the Japanese media very excited, Japanese filmmakers, how many years have they not been able to compete for important awards at the Academy Awards?

In fact, Japanese filmmakers have not been without contact with the Oscars in recent years, and in the sixty-second Oscar in 89, Master Kurosawa won the Honorary Award, and then "1a" won the Costume Design Award.

And then...... In 1998, Keiko Ibi got the ...... Short Documentary Award, and last year in 2oo2, Miyazaki won the ...... with "Spirited Away" Long-form animation award.

Yes, that's right, that's all the Japanese film industry has to do with the Oscars in recent years.

In fact, even if Zhou Xiao didn't appear, the Japanese began to notice this, and of course they were very concerned. So at the beginning of O3, the Japanese entertainment industry also began to work towards the Oscar, and this effort was rewarded in 2oo8, and "The Undertaker" won the honor of best foreign Chinese film.

In such an environment, it is already a great thing for Aoi Miyazaki to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

It's not just this that Aoi Miyazaki is happy, going abroad with Zhou Xiao is another thing that makes her unexcited.

There are only two people living in Zhou Xiao's one-story apartment now, and Aoi Miyazaki and Yuko Ogura both moved out of the apartment for fear of scandals, but moving away does not mean that the relationship between several people is broken. Although because of the move, because Zhou Xiao is busy with work, everyone has a lot less time to meet, but it is precisely because of this that the two girls, especially Miyazaki Aoi, who has just shown an unspeakable relationship with Zhou Xiao, are very much looking forward to being able to be with Zhou Xiao openly, although the Golden Globe Tour in Los Angeles will definitely have a lot of Japanese media present, but such a huge city, there must be enough places for them to play freely, in the United States, Miyazaki Aoi can enjoy what is difficult to enjoy in Japan. Precious freedom.

Therefore, when she got into the first class cabin of the plane, the girl sat directly next to Zhou Xiao, and almost everyone on the plane showed a very surprised expression. Obviously, the two didn't seem to have any special relationship when the movie was filmed, but after only half a year, the two of them clearly showed an extraordinary relationship, which is this. It can be clearly seen from the fact that Aoi Miyazaki is sitting on the side with a happy face, and occasionally projecting that loving eyes to each other.

Although Zhou Xiao and Aoi Miyazaki did not deliberately hide their ambiguous relationship, it is impossible for the people in the entertainment industry present to go out and talk casually. Many things in the entertainment industry are like this, if you are not in this circle, you may not know the secrets for the rest of your life, but once you enter this circle, you will find that there are a lot of dirt or taboos hidden in the circle, which will make you feel that even if you live a lifetime, you will never dare to say it.

Zhou Xiao actually doesn't have much time, but he did not accompany Miyazaki Aoi for a while, especially after he left Japan and returned to China shortly after pushing down the girl, of course he was very worried about Miyazaki Aoi, but Miyazaki Aoi didn't think about Zhou Xiao away, so Los Angeles during the New Year almost became a honeymoon trip for the two of them, and countless places left sweet footprints of two people.

Of course, the real destination of this trip to Los Angeles is still the Golden Globes.

The Golden Globe Awards dinner was held the next night after Zhou Xiao arrived, and Zhou Xiao, who appeared with Aoi Miyazaki, participated in the Golden Globe Awards with a playful mentality throughout the whole process, and the final result was not beyond his expectations, although he was shortlisted for several awards, but in the end he and the crew of "Ju Day" did not win any awards, the reason for this, Zhou Xiao estimated that in addition to the film and race, his age was also the reason why the judges were unwilling to vote for him.

A young man who is only 2o years old, anyone can see the potential in him, and the Golden Globe prize is like an award or something, as long as he can ensure the quality of the present, there will be a lot of days and opportunities to get it in the future, as for this time, let it go to those old-timers who may have worked hard for decades.

As for the competition for the best foreign language film, the Spanish film "Say to Her" won the award in the end, while Zhou Xiao's "Ju Ri" and China's "Hero" both returned with a feather.

Soon after returning from the United States, there was another piece of good news from across the ocean, which was even more exciting: ""Ju Day" was shortlisted for the Oscars! ”

As an annual film event, the Oscars have an unparalleled attraction for filmmakers, which has been unmatched by the previous Golden Globe Awards. The same is true for Japan, where "Ju Ri" was shortlisted for a total of three awards this time, Best Editing, Best Foreign Film, and Best Original Screenplay.

As for the Best Actress and Best Picture that Zhou Xiao and everyone were looking forward to, they were not shortlisted.

Zhou Xiao has seen Ellen Peggy's version of "Juno" was shortlisted for Best Actress, but unfortunately although Aoi Miyazaki's acting skills are outstanding among Japanese actors of the same age, and they can be regarded as being affirmed by the Golden Globe judges, they still failed to meet the requirements of the Oscar judges. But there is still a little bit of meaning.

As for the three shortlisted awards, the Editing Award actually took advantage of Zhou Xiao's crossing, he crossed over, and many of the ideas in his mind actually came from ten years later, these new ideas were used in the movie, when the rhythm and taste of the movie were invisibly much better than the original "Juno".

As for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay, the latter was originally shortlisted for "Juno" and won the award, while the former got this opportunity because of the change of country in which it was filmed, and this time it was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award. Zhou Xiao is still fighting with Lao Mouzi's "Hero", as for the Spanish film that won the Golden Globe Award, it did not enter the nomination list, and the opponents of "Ju Ri" and "Hero" are the other three works from Germany, Finland and Mexico.

When Zhou Xiao went to the United States for the first time this year, the shortlisting of the Golden Globe Award did not cause much repercussions in the Japanese entertainment industry, although various media also went to Los Angeles a lot, but in the end they did not win the award It means that there is not much news. But for Oscar, the treatment is different.

Even if they are both shortlisted, the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards, the reporting teams of the Japanese media are very different. In the previous Golden Globe Awards, the five major private stations sent a lineup of hosts and cameras, and the pictures interspersed during the awards were basically from the pictures given by the official Golden Globe Awards. As for the report of the Academy Awards, the five major TV stations all sent a lineup of more than ten people, and it was broadcast at the end. I believe that in addition to the official pictures, there will also be many more self-recorded pictures from TV stations.

It's just that I'm afraid that even the Japanese media don't believe that Zhou Xiao can get the favor of the Academy Awards after winning nothing at the Golden Globe Awards, so the names of most of the reports on Japanese TV stations are similar: "Zhou Xiao hit the Oscars for the first time with "Ju Day", the meaning is very simple, even if the first time it fails, there will be a second time, we are optimistic about you~

This kind of thinking is the consensus from Zhou Xiao to the TV station to the public opinion circle, on the one hand, they are too unconfident to express themselves like this, on the other hand, there will be no disappointment without any expectations, this kind of thinking makes Zhou Xiao much easier when he participates in the award ceremony in the future.

Zhou Xiao, who returned to Japan, continued to devote himself to the filming of TV series, and in addition to TV series, he also started another job.

According to Zhou Xiao, this special job is a "big job", and what is special is that although this job does borrow something from his head, on the other hand, it is a new creation.

For this work, he began to meet with the goals in his heart one by one.

The first thing to see is the two-level big thing in the Japanese entertainment industry.

When I saw saury, it was in a saury title show, Akashi's saury, born in 1955, one of the G3 in the Japanese entertainment industry, buckteeth, a little hoarse, and it looks like an elderly version of Tamura Jun. This gentleman is notoriously good, not only has a good personality but also has a good sense of humor, in the forced G3, the old man Takeshi Kitano takes care of the film production, and in recent years, he has rarely taken on the title program work, and even began to reduce the number of times he appears on TV.

And Tamori also began to hide his edge, and gradually became a kind, people who have just come into contact with Japanese entertainment look like a kind old man, the change of style of these two people highlights the saury his superior energy and dedication to TV, in fact, even in 2o14, the old man is still active in the TV circle, witnessing the growth of batches of newcomers.

Participating in the talk show of saury is actually a part of the movie momentum, and the fact that "Ju Day" was shortlisted for three Oscar awards will undoubtedly attract a large number of program invitations in the Japanese entertainment industry, and Zhou Xiao's show on saury is not just a show.

Zhou Xiao is different from saury, Zhou Xiao is the kind of person who is used to having a script for everything, and creates most of the jokes before the show is recorded, after all, he can't be on those funny artists, and the saury show, of course, has its own script writers, Zhou Xiao discussed a set of scripts with these script writers and the director of the program team.

When making this episode of the program cooperated with saury, Zhou Xiao also appeared a very strange phenomenon, that is, the program team gave a relatively loose time according to each paragraph and each series of plots, and the recording time of the TV program was originally very tight, like Zhou Xiao did the show himself, usually accurate to the time within seconds. But this is not the case with saury's show, and there are often a lot of blank parts in his show.

And in the preparation stage of the show, the saury never showed up at all, and on the day of the recording of the show, when Zhou Xiao arrived at the studio an hour early, he got the news that he had already come, Zhou Xiao immediately wanted to go over to say hello but was stopped by the agent: "Mr. saury should be familiar with the script before the show, you can go half an hour early." ”

Only then did Zhou Xiao know that the old man came to the TV station two hours in advance of the program recording, and he had been familiar with the script since he arrived.

After the show starts recording. Zhou Xiaoxian, although he only read the script for more than an hour and did not have any rehearsals, but this dumb uncle is very energetic and energetic, and the whole program process is not missing any part at all, the reason why he says this instead of saying it is not bad at all is because the old man added a lot of his own language and details to it in the process of the program, which filled the quality of the entire program, making his program look very, very charming, and at the same time making the blank space of those programs meaningful. Only then did Zhou Xiao understand that the original blank space was originally reserved for him to swing freely, and this point, he may be the best among so many artists that Zhou Xiao has worked with.

The recording of the program was very fast because there was such a person leading it. In just over an hour, a 24-minute talk show has been recorded. Zhou Xiao, who had finished recording the show, stood up and shook hands with the saury and said, "Senior, let's have a meal together if it's convenient." ”

"Oh? Invite me to dinner? Okay, wait for me to explain the work. The saury readily agreed.

Zhou Xiao and the saury came out of the studio and were taken to a membership-only restaurant. In the huge and deep city of Tokyo, there are many, many membership-only restaurants that tend to serve only a specific group of people. Only members can bring people in, as for outsiders, they are usually not accepted, and it is completely impossible for TV stations to interview and collect materials.

Zhou Xiao, who came in with the saury, sat down with him, and after the two sides ordered food, the saury asked, "What, is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"It's such a senior, I have something here for you to take a look at first." Zhou Xiao took out a stack of paper from his bag, judging from the thickness of the folded paper, it should be a script, but I can't tell if it's a movie or a variety show.

"Oh? What is it? The saury picked up the script and asked.

"It's a ...... It's very chic, and I don't know if it's a movie script or a variety show. Zhou Xiao said with a smile.

"What do you mean you don't know?" The saury picked up the script and read it.

This is more than an hour.

"Oops...... You thing...... I can't understand what it is......" Saury said, putting down the script.

"Then do you think this is a problem?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"It's hard to say, this thing is too radical, even I'm not sure." The saury said.

"Really? Sure enough...... "Zhou Xiao was actually prepared, the thing he handed over to the saury to see was a very weird and strange work, and this work was purely from him, and there was no similar thing in the history of the Japanese entertainment industry in the next ten years.

"Have you shown this to anyone else?" The saury asked.

"Not yet, you're the first to see it." Zhou Xiao said.

"So, you ...... Tamori shouldn't be able to do these things, and it's not appropriate for the three of us to appear, so you take it to Takeshi Kitano, I'm good at funny variety shows, but of course he's better at movies, and your stuff is also a movie script, and showing it to him should give you a lot of advice. Can you reach him? ”

"Yes! I can find him. Zhou Xiao said that Zhou Xiao, who had met in Italy, and Takeshi Kitano had left their own contact information.

"Then go and get in touch with him, as for this show, I personally like it, if you can get enough help and investment from the TV station, I will have no problem acting." The saury said.

"Really? That's great! This show can't be done without a big thing like you, and who else do you think is better? Zhou Xiao was very excited, his purpose in coming to find saury was to complete this whimsical idea.

"If you look for someone...... Tamura Jun is good, that kid is also a liar, and the other is Ueda Shinya, he seems to have a reputation as the 'King of Miscellaneous Studies', right? It would be nice to have him expand on the topic. The saury said.

"Okay, I got it." Zhou Xiao nodded, these two people have become very powerful hosts in the future, but now, the two are just young funny artists who have debuted for ten to fifteen years, and they should not refuse if they force one of the G3 to be hand-picked.

After getting the saury, Zhou Xiao went to find Takeshi Kitano again, and Takeshi Kitano also showed a lot of interest in the things that Zhou Xiao brought, for Takeshi Kitano and Saury, fun, untried projects are undoubtedly very much expected by them, after so many years in the Japanese entertainment industry, there is only something that has not been tried at all that will make their hearts excited.
