"Haha, of course not, we're absolutely fair. If Fujiwara-sensei had been involved in the work, he would have won the award." Eiji Shirai nodded.

"It's just to cheer myself up, I also watched some of the movies on display in the morning, and I have to say that the level of independent directors is getting higher and higher."

"To be honest, the quality of the works on display this year is higher than in previous years, and it seems that Fujiwara-sensei and Superintendent Ohno will inevitably have a fierce battle this year."

You can't stand and talk all the time, so the four of them plan to put together a table and talk while eating.

"Kamiya-sensei seems to be a regular visitor." Keido Fujiwara.

Momoka Kamiya brushed her sideburns and said with a smile, "Yes, I used to eat at this restaurant when I was a student, and I think it's the most delicious food in all of Tokyo. Even as an adult, I've tasted a lot of expensive food, but I still think the rice bowl here is the best for my taste."

Fujiwara Kei remembered that in the essay that Momoka Kamiya published not long ago, he mentioned a restaurant that he frequented when he was a child, and it must be this restaurant. Childhood tastes are a lifelong experience.

"Fujiwara-sensei is the one who wrote 'The Lonely Gourmet', and you can find it here." Momoka Kamiya seems to have found a like-minded friend, and her inner impression of Kei Fujiwara is a little better.

"Nobutoshi Takagi brought me here, Mr. Takagi is a glutton."

After a while, the rice bowl was served, and Fujiwara Kei subconsciously protected the bowl with his left hand - he couldn't be blamed for protecting the food, it was a completely instinctive reaction. If it weren't for someone else here, Nagaharu Ohno's quick son would have reached into his bowl to steal the eel.

A few people chatted while eating, and after a while, the topic was introduced to the movie.

"Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for domestic films to survive under the impact of overseas movies and TV programs......," Eiji Shirai sighed, and suddenly looked at Kei Fujiwara with some sadness, "During this time, the company's theater management department has reacted that the attendance rate of theater audiences on Moonlight Night has decreased by 15% compared with last year, and this proportion continues to expand.

Fujiwara Kei can only smile, indeed, at this stage, Yumoto's local films are indeed not strong, and most of the time the box office rankings over the years are Hollywood movies at the top of the list. Or in the current version, the whole of East Asia was beaten by Hollywood and couldn't lift its head. This is true both in this world and in parallel worlds.

Except for Hong Kong, in the 80s and 90s, Hong Kong films were still quite vibrant.

It wasn't until later, when the animators of Yuben entered the film industry strongly, that the status quo was changed in one fell swoop. "Spirited Away" has created a box office myth that has been difficult to break for decades, and even trampled "Titanic" under its feet in China.

Because of the current sluggish state of the film market, many film production companies, even Matsunichi Pictures, have begun to gradually shift their business focus from film production to distribution, and no longer make films themselves.

[In view of the general environment, this has also become an opportunity for many independent films and small production companies to rise.] ….

After eating, the group walked out of the restaurant, and Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno claimed to be going to a nearby bookstore, so they separated from Kamiya Shirai.

The two actually went to a nearby small steel ball shop to play marble, but they were embarrassed to say it directly.

And I don't want to be a light bulb behind the two, Momoka Kamiya and Eiji Shirai are both divorced and single, and the two are in a relationship now.

The head of a large company and a well-known professor writer are also considered to be a good match.

Nagaharu Ohno was absent-minded when he hit the small steel ball for the first time, constantly looking at his watch, and there was still more than an hour before the official premiere of "Suddenly Looking Back" at the film festival, and he still couldn't calm down his nervousness.

Kei Fujiwara noticed it and said to him, "Okay, don't play. The movie is about to start, and after the movie is over, you're going to have a discussion with the audience."

"Well, good...... I'll go buy a coffee and refresh myself."

When the two returned to the festival venue, there were still a lot of people, and the atmosphere was thicker and the discussion was more intense.

"This year

There are a lot of masters." Said a girl with thick glasses, holding a notebook full of the names of the movie.

Each movie is followed by a rating, ranging from S to C.

They are students of the Chung-Ang University Film Division, which is also the birthplace of the PEER Film Festival.

The members also came to the festival, they watched the film separately, and then came out to communicate and rate the movies they watched in their notebooks.

If someone can see a film with an A grade or above, the other students will watch it the next day, a B-level movie will also be selective, and if a movie is rated C by the student, they will spit and leave.

As the birthplace of the PEER Film Festival, the film department of Chung-Ang University is also one of the reviewers of the second round of review. The auditor does not have to be an individual, but it can also be a group.

The members of the department wrote down the name of the movie they had just watched, and then wrote their own evaluations after the name of the movie, most of which were Bs and Cs, and occasionally there were A-grades.

The glasses lady took the pen, wrote the word "lucky" in the notebook, and then raised the pen and hesitated. He thinks that Tetsuya Iwai's movie is indeed a good shot, there are no major flaws, it is also a popular route, and the style is biased towards commercial films, and I personally feel good when I watch it.

She was hesitating whether to rate an S or an A. In their judging criteria, C is unqualified, B is pass, A is excellent, and S is an absolute masterpiece.

After thinking about it, I still gave an evaluation of A. Their evaluation of each movie is to be published in the school magazine, and although the movie "Lucky" is excellent, it is still a little far from a masterpiece.

S-rated is a rarely given evaluation, and in the past three peer film festivals, there have been no S-rated films in their judging criteria.

But she also thinks that this "Lucky" is indeed excellent, even better than the film that won the commendation conference award last year. The director of this movie seems to be a student, which is really good, and if nothing else, he should be the one who won this year's award. ….

So after some thought, she added a plus sign after A, and the final score was A+.

After the other students saw the rating of the glasses girl, they said, "You have such a high evaluation of this film? Who did it?"

"Tetsuya Iwai, a student at Tokyo University of Literature and Art." At this time, another person said, "This person's name is familiar to me, he has participated in several film festivals, and he has always won encouragement awards."

As a student director, it is actually very powerful to get the encouragement award. The glasses lady added at this time: "If nothing else, I think this film should win the first prize this year."

The other members nodded, taking the name of the film to heart. Glasses Niang alone said definitely not counts, there will be a re-screening of this film tomorrow, and when they have seen it, if they have the same opinion, they will vote for this movie.

"What's next?" A chubby boy unfolded the movie schedule again and said, "I'm going to watch this "Crow Middle School", the director almost won the deputy award last year, presumably this film will not be too bad."

The eye lady also glanced at the timetable and said, "Then I'll go and watch this "Suddenly Looking Back" at four o'clock."

The director of this film is also a name that I have never heard of, and the synopsis of the film is even more vague: a love letter to the creator, I don't know what it will be.

Bacheng is another not very good film...... But fortunately, it is a short film, and it is enough to stay up for half an hour.

Everyone decided on the film they wanted to watch, and when the time came, the glasses lady walked into the screening room.

Randomly chose a corner seat, and the glasses lady quietly looked around, and found a few familiar faces.

But then again, being a reviewer is really hard work, and the mental blow of bad movies is sometimes really huge......

I hope this work can be a little bit more like......

Just thinking about it, the movie begins.
