What especially made Fukasaku Kinji's face darken was that when the audience cheered, someone called Matsumoto Keiko "Li Xianglan", but it was not his character Ye Zi in "The Man on Fire".

This obviously proves that "Li Xianglan" is more popular with the audience than his "The Man on Fire", which also reflects from the side that Matsumoto Keiko's new movie is indeed a great success.

This was a slap in the face, and it also made him a little lucky that the two movies were not released in the same year.

So faced with this situation, Fukasaku Kinji and Harada Michiko obviously no longer have any interest in pretending to be tall and showing off their "tea art" in front of the camera.

As if they were avoiding the god of plague, they suppressed their displeasure, kept silent, nodded to the host outside the venue, and walked to the banquet hall together.

Of course, the off-site host didn't keep them either. After all, there were so many people to interview later, and the two guys who loved to talk sarcastically didn't have much interview value anymore.

In the blink of an eye, the host outside the venue took a long microphone and pointed at Ogata Kenji and Ishida Ryoko who were ranked behind Fukasaku Kinji and Harada Michiko.

"Congratulations to Ogata-san and Ms. Ishida for breaking the ratings record. What an amazing achievement! As the hero and heroine of "The Man on Fire", do you play the role of husband and wife in the movie?

Moreover, the wife has repeatedly discovered the fact that her husband has cheated on her. Can you talk about your feelings when you cooperate with each other? Many viewers are curious about how you manage this quite contradictory relationship between husband and wife, which is always on the verge of breaking up.

The acting is so real..."

Completely different from the bustling ceremony stage outside, the banquet hall was gorgeously decorated and orderly, and it suddenly became quiet.

Fukasaku Kinji felt a little more relaxed, and then followed the staff to a round table in the front row and sat down.

As he walked over, he exchanged greetings with the "Movie World" crew who stood up to say hello. This group was headed by director Yoji Yamada.

At present, it seems that it is also a favorite to win awards, and because it is both owned by Shochiku, it is in a similar position to the crew of "The Man in the House on Fire".

The 36th part of "The Story of Torajiro" has only one nomination for Best Director, because it has little chance of winning.

Even if big stars like Atsumi Kiyo, Chieko Baisho, and Komaki Kurihara were present, they would still be in the third row.

The seating arrangement at the venue was very particular, and it almost explained everything, so Fukasaku Kinji felt a little more at ease at this time.

Michiko Harada naturally sat next to Fukasaku Kinji. She looked around with interest, but her mood could not calm down.

The environment at the scene was completely new to her.

She had dreamed of being able to sit in it before, but she didn't expect to actually sit in it now. She was naturally excited and her eyes became brighter the more she looked at it.

And as long as it is the first time, it means that her status in the circle has greatly improved.

Even if there is no work in the future, the chance of being invited to watch the ceremony will be very high.

Since the awards ceremony had not officially started yet, everyone in the venue was in a social mood, and suddenly someone said, "Good evening, Director Fukasaku."

Kinji Fukasaku and Michiko Harada couldn't help but look back at the same time, and were surprised to find that it was Haruki Kōgawa, the boss of the emerging film company Kadokawa Pictures.

Out of respect for capital, they quickly stood up and greeted politely, "Jiaochuan-san, good evening."

"Hello, President Jiaochuan."

Kōkawa Haruki said with a smile, "Congratulations to Director Fukasaku for making another good movie. I like this movie "The Man in the House on Fire" very much. I heard that the box office has exceeded one billion yen, which is considered a very popular movie among ethical films.

What an amazing achievement! I am afraid that only you can make such a film that combines art and box office."

He also praised Michiko Harada, "Your performance in the movie is still fresh in people's minds. The role of Keiko will definitely be remembered by everyone. You are amazing."

Michiko Harada smiled and lowered her head to show modesty, while Kinji Fukasaku said politely, "It's all good luck."

"Luck has always been the modesty of the strong. Director Fukasaku is very capable. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with you in the future." Haruki Kagekawa said polite words while turning sideways to facilitate photographers to take pictures.

Fukasaku Kinji also cooperated very well, smiling at the camera and taking the opportunity happily.

"Yes, yes, there will be many opportunities in the future, and there will always be opportunities for cooperation."

Everyone can talk about it in social situations, even though he feels a little dissatisfied that Kagekawa Haruki's film company is too small.

There may not be enough resources to support him in making the movie he wants to make, but he still wants to cooperate with a big studio.

But there is no need to say this directly, it is too offending.

However, what he didn't expect was what Haruki Kōgawa approached him and whispered to him after taking a group photo.
Chapter completed!
