After a night of passion, Tang Ning wantonly rubbed Aki Suzuki's long legs and said, "Aki, you can withdraw directly today, I don't want my woman to be judged by others." ”

Aki Suzuki said obediently: "Okay, boss, I listen to you, but after the game, can you accompany me back to my home, I want those who looked down on me to see my current happiness and envy them to death!" ”

Tang Ning laughed and said: "This is no problem, if you don't return to your hometown, it's like a night walk in brocade, so let's do it, today I will ask Fangzi to take you to buy more clothes and jewelry you like, and when I finish this beauty pageant, I will accompany you for a trip." ”

On the whole, the beauty pageant finals on this day tortured Tang Ning enough, because most of the talent shows were dancing or singing, but unfortunately Tang Ning really couldn't appreciate the Japanese kind of childish dancing and intermittent music style, and he sighed in his heart why Yuzhi Koji and his gang hadn't grown up yet.

Fortunately, there are some highlights in this, and the dance of a girl named Misako Okada is eye-catching, especially Jimmy, Sakurai and Downing, who can't take their eyes off it, because she is actually dancing a drag. Originally, this kind of dance was only performed in some low-end bars in Europe and the United States, but with the hit of a French movie "Long Live Maria" two years ago, this dance shouting "Paris Paris" quickly became popular in the bar industry around the world. The only pity is that this Misako girl dances really averagely, and her figure is not as hot and energetic as Maria in the play.

In the end, the girl who was named the first place in "Miss Nichimi and Kindness" was called Yachigusafu. This girl is not only sweet-looking, but also has very good acting skills, so she received almost a unanimous approval from all the judges. Yachikusa is sweet in her own right, and she participated in a swimming academy when she was a child, so she is in very good shape, and later she was admitted to the Takarazuka Conservatory of Music. has been training in Takarazuka stage plays for several years, so her acting skills are much higher than those of other contestants, so even Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune, who are easy not to boast, are full of praise for her, thinking that this is the person who can really film.

Fujiko Yamamoto, the real champion of "Miss Japanmi Kindness" that year, only ranked fifth because two foreigners, Downing and Jimmy, voted against it. This made Sakurai feel very sorry, and he insisted that Fujiko was the representative of beauty in the Japanese mind, and insisted that she be used in the new film that was about to be filmed.

At first, Tang Ning thought that Sakurai had dived Fujiko, so he praised her so hard. It wasn't until Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune and Kazuo Hasegawa all agreed on Fujiko's beauty that Downing realized that it seemed that the aesthetic gap between himself and the Japanese was really too big.

At that time, Fujiko Yamamoto stood out from more than 700 people and won the title of "Miss Japan-America Goodwill", and then made a public visit to the United States, which also achieved great success, and then was contested by major film companies. It's just that her personality is too stubborn, and she broke with Daying Company at the peak of her career, and has since withdrawn from the film industry.

The runner-up was Keiko Kishi, who was already well-known in the film industry at the time, filming "New Year's Dance" and "Family Carnival" (also known as "Our Happy Family"). At this time, she had just resigned from Shochiku Film and Television, and she had planned to accept Koji Tsuruta's invitation to shoot "Yataro Kasa", but she was more optimistic about the East Asian Film Company, which was jointly formed by two major business groups, so she came to participate in the competition.

The third runner-up was filmed in 1950 "Meet Again in the Future". Kuga Miko (until 60 years, who kissed through the windowpane with Eiji Okada, caused an uproar in the Japanese film industry and society. The kissing taboo in Japanese movies has just been lifted. It's also interesting to say, during this period, Japanese pink movies were in full swing, but they were not allowed to act in mainstream movies, which is really understandable. ）

It should be pointed out that the mysterious guest in charge of the award ceremony on the third day was Audrey Hepburn, who had just flown over from the United States, and gave an impromptu speech. It means that as long as you have a dream, are willing to work hard, and seize the opportunity, then the dream will definitely come true.

After the competition, the jury team split into two groups, Jimmy took the top three to Hollywood for an art visit, and Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune, and Kazuo Hasegawa took Fujiko Yamamoto to make a movie.

The reason why Downing was able to poach Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune in the first place was not just because of high salaries. The most important thing is a good script, that is, the famous "Seven Samurai" in later generations.

Kurosawa's previous "Rashomon" was adapted from Akutagawa Ryunosuke's novel "In the Bamboo Forest", but this "Seven Samurai" is a real script, there is no source of fiction, and Tangning had seen it in his previous life, so after learning that Kurosawa's "Rashomon" won the award, he sorted out the "Seven Samurai" in his memory.

Unlike "Rashomon", which focuses on philosophical speculation and human thinking, "Seven Samurai" integrates more Hollywood aesthetic taste and montage narrative means, and at the same time uses the traditional Japanese samurai spirit to attract audiences, so this is a very classic film that blends Eastern and Western film cultures.

If "Rashomon" can only be an award-winning film, and everyone needs to slowly taste the life principles in it, then "Seven Samurai" is definitely a film that takes into account both artistry and commerciality, and does not delay both awards and box office. In particular, a large number of fighting scenes in it, such as Gunma Rush and Mire Fight, are very attractive to the audience, and even changed the tradition of Japanese martial arts films, which has had a profound impact on later martial arts films.

Therefore, when Kurosawa Akira and Toshiro Mifune saw this script, they were deeply attracted by the storyline and shooting creativity, and they happily agreed to Downing's invitation, which also shows that the two of them really only have movies in their hearts, and it is no wonder that they can achieve so much success in the film industry. Compared with the two sides, the realm of Kazuo Hasegawa, who only cares about money and power, is much lower. (When the U.S. military occupied Japan, Hasegawa was one of the first people in the Japanese art world to take refuge.) ）

Because Kurosawa admires Fujiko Yamamoto very much and thinks that she is very suitable for the role of Shino in "Seven Samurai", so after saying hello to Tang Ning, he took Fujiko to the crew, and Tang Ning felt a little guilty because he forced Kurosawa to be a judge, and he also knew Kurosawa Akira's stinky temper, so he didn't bother with him much, and happily agreed to his request.
