.........

After the first month of the year has passed and entered February, the new year seems to have officially begun to get busy, and all kinds of things, big and small, seem to be speeding up.

The organizer of the Japanese Film Blue Ribbon Award is the Tokyo Film Press Club, so in addition to major film critics, insiders, directors, film lovers, etc. in the entertainment industry, the judges include film journalists who also account for a large part.

As for Matsuzawa Shinnosuke, he naturally joined the Film Journalists Association early because he wrote interesting stories about movie stars in the entertainment industry.

During this Blue Ribbon Film Awards selection, Shinnosuke Matsuzawa managed to sneak into the jury and became one of the staff members who was deeply involved in the selection of the film.

"Chairman Nojima Koichi, the judges' final voting results have been reviewed and there are no errors!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke handed the final results to Nojima Koichi, who is the chairman of this year's jury.

"Hmm~" Nojima Koichi looked at the results list, "Sure enough, it's still these movies!"

"Hey, nothing has changed." Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said. He almost knew the results at the end of January and was not very excited at this time.

Nojima Koichi took off his glasses and wiped them, looked at Matsuzawa Shinnosuke and asked: "How is it? Did you find out the mastermind behind it?"

"this...."

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was shocked. The Chairman Nojima Koichi in front of him seemed to have his own purpose?

"Ha, I was suspicious when you first came in... Later, when you were tallying up the judging results, you were also asking questions, asking if the judges had been affected in any way... From that

I knew then that you came with a purpose." Nojima Koichi laughed, "Don't forget, we are all reporters! We know our colleagues best."

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke asked very curiously: "Then why didn't the chairman stop me?"

"Why stop it?" Nojima Koichi put on his glasses again, "I'm also very curious about the twists and turns!"

"It's just that as the chairman of the jury, I can't possibly check it myself... It would be too embarrassing~"

"Besides, I also want someone to ensure the fairness of this selection result!"

That’s it, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke nodded.

As a great journalist, Koichi Nojima finally sat down as the chairman of the Film Blue Ribbon Award jury. He always wanted his selection result to be impeccable as a reference for his future qualifications.

As a result of the compromise between all parties, he could not explore the forces behind the judges, so he also needed a pawn.

"So, Shinosuke-kun, what are the results of the investigation?"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Regarding this selection, there are many forces behind the judges. Toho, Toei, Kadokawa, Shochiku, Nikkatsu...all participated."

Nojima Koichi's expression remained unchanged: "This is all normal. There is no game like this. After all, Japan's three major film awards are all about money!"

"I mean, is there anything special about it?"

"..." Shinnosuke Matsuzawa thought for a while, but decided to be honest, "The operation of the Shochiku system this time is a bit strange. I asked about it, and it seems that director Fukasaku Kinji has mobilized almost all his connections to support Toho's work.

"Snow". Another part supports "The Mysterious Case of Mount Amagi", and some supports Naoki Nagayama's "Love Letter"."

"'Love Letter'... Nagayama Naoki is the purpose of your visit, right?" Nojima Koichi said with a smile, "Always asking about him?"

"...Hi!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said, "I think Naoki Nagayama has signs of manipulating the selection...that's why I want to find out." Matsuzawa Shinnosuke didn't hide anything.

"Then what's the result?"

"Hey...it turns out that everyone wants to manipulate the selection..."

"Hahaha, the entertainment industry is just such a place!" Nojima Koichi said with a smile, "Who doesn't want to get all the honors?"

"But Nagayama Naoki did get the Sasakawa Foundation involved, and also asked Kadokawa..." Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said excitedly.

Nojima Koichi interrupted him: "Did they violate the selection rules?!"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was silent for a while, and then said with difficulty: "...No."

"That's okay~" Nojima Koichi said, "If we can't find any evidence, then no matter how exaggerated the reports are, no matter how they reveal the truth, they are just entertainment gimmicks."

"Yes....."

Nojima Koichi continued: "Shinosuke-kun, do you have any personal grudge against Nagayama Naoki?"

"..." Matsuzawa Shinnosuke nodded, "Enemy for life!"

"Haha, then don't even think about finding any shady material in such a large-scale selection. Those black hands will do it perfectly." Nojima Koichi said, "Looking at the artists in the entire entertainment industry, the ones who are really being boycotted and attacked are

There are only drug abuse, illegality, involvement in gangs, cults... and personal ethics issues..."

Nojima Koichi looked at Matsuzawa Shinnosuke and said:

"However, I know something about Naoki Nagayama. He is a male and a well-known writer and director...so the impact of personal ethics issues will not be great. Even if he has the title of playboy, it is just to add some romantic affairs.

.”

"If Shinnosuke-kun wants to deal with him, he can only look for it from drug abuse, illegal activities, involvement in gangs, and cults." Nojima Koichi said relaxedly, "I don't know about other aspects at the moment. It should be true that he is involved in gangs...

..The reporter who reported earlier seemed to have been warned by the Yamaguchi-gumi.”

"The Yamaguchi-gumi really warned?! So Nagayama Naoki is really a gang member?"

"No... I just asked people not to harass the Shizuoka Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters, but I didn't specifically say that Naoki Nagayama can't be touched." Nojima Koichi, as one of the upper-level members of the Tokyo Film Press Conference, still understands this matter.

"From this aspect, maybe it's just a bit of nepotism."

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke nodded: "Then the only way to find it is from drug abuse, illegality, cults, etc."

He then thought about it, this guy Nagayama Naoki had acquired wealth, fame, and status prematurely at a young age. It was the time when he was mentally empty, and drug abuse and cultism might be very possible.

It is very possible to be frivolous!

Thinking about it this way, Nagayama Naoki's future is still very "punishing"!

"Chairman Nojima, why do you want to mention me?" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke asked.

"Haha, I see the past me in you!"

Looking at the rejuvenated Shinnosuke Matsuzawa, Nojima Koichi felt like he saw again the young man who entered the journalistic industry with enthusiasm.

"Don't forget your original intention!"

Two people who were obviously talking about other people's rights and wrongs behind their backs suddenly became very positive!

What exactly is going on!
