........

As the opening ceremony approached, the originally quiet town became increasingly lively.

Tourists from all over the world have come to this city, and reporters with cameras are all over the streets. In addition to wanting to take photos of certain international movie stars, some people also work part-time to take photos of tourists.

If you do well, you can usually earn a month's salary in one day.

Even Neon's film reporters have rushed over. In addition to recording this event, Naoki Nagayama, who has made wild promises in China, will also get the final result at this film festival, whether it becomes a joke or a myth.

.....

After three days of fun in Cannes, Naoki Nagayama finally waited for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Naoki-san, we are ready to go!"

Itou Shuichi appeared in front of Nagayama Naoki in a suit and tie, along with Kitano Takeshi who came over later. This guy rarely wore formal clothes, but he didn’t look like a good guy~

"Naoki-san... I said you should walk on the red carpet!" Kitano said exaggeratedly, "Compared to me, you are more like a star!"

Nagayama Naoki adjusted his collar. Akina Nakamori has a very good sense of fashion. The suit prepared for Nagayama Naoki is a silver-gray suit with a white shirt, but the tie is made of dark satin pattern, which makes people look outstanding when wearing it.

So handsome~

"What kind of red carpet are you walking on...those reporters won't take photos of you!"

In fact, most of the red carpet shows in Cannes are for female stars. Most of the people are paying attention to which female star is wearing which big-name high-end clothing, and what kind of fashion trend she will lead...

Even well-known clothing brands will invest a lot of advertising money in this event.

As for men...it can only be said that from this era, everyone knows that men’s consumption power in fashion is not as good as that of dogs~

"Shuichi-san, Naoki-san, Kitano-san~"

At this moment, Tanaka Yuko came over wearing a white dress and a women's hat. Her hair was combed up, leaving only two playful strands on the temples. Her skin was so white that it highlighted her bright red lips.

~

"Wow... Yuko-san is so beautiful~" Takeshi complimented with a smile, "She looks like a young lady from a movie."

"After all, I have to walk on the red carpet..."

When Tanaka Yuko attended events in China before, she could choose a kimono. This was her first time attending a foreign film festival, so she chose a dress.

"Are we leaving now?"

"Um...."

Nagayama Naoki didn't hesitate. This hotel is only a few minutes away from the Palais des Festivals de Cannes, so there's no need to take a car or anything.

On the way there, the group saw many other celebrities. The female celebrities all dressed up to travel, and some needed assistants to help lift their skirts, while most of the men wore suits of different styles.

By the time we arrived at the Palais des Festivals de Cannes, a broad red carpet had been laid out at the main entrance, surrounded by a dense crowd of reporters. They were ready to go, and they couldn't stop clicking when they saw a star.

After handing over the passes, the team leader began to lead several people to the venue.

Nagayama Naoki originally wanted to go in through the side passage with Itou Shuichi, but Tanaka Yuko grabbed his arm:

"Naoki-san... we can't be a deserter at this time!"

"???I'm not a celebrity artist, and I don't need to be exposed!" Nagayama Naoki said helplessly, "The red carpet is your and Kitano-san's home court!"

"...Didn't Naoki-san also appear in movies? How can you say he's not a star?!"

Tanaka Yuko held Naoki Nagayama's arm to prevent him from escaping, and then walked towards the red carpet,

"Besides...we are the only Orientals with black eyes and yellow skin here...don't look too lonely!"

"???"

Apparently "Goodbye Hakofune" has also been shortlisted. Seeing Tsutomu Yamazaki, Yoshio Harada, Mayumi Ogawa and others, they should also come!

Anyway, in the end, Naoki Nagayama was dragged onto the red carpet with Takeshi Kitano, Yuko Tanaka, Naoto Fujiki and others, and followed the pace of the leader.

The reporters next to you don't care so much. When you step on the red carpet, you are a star and you gain traffic!

The flashes started shooting non-stop, and some reporters shouted "look here" in English.

When we arrived at the red carpet of the main competition section specially organized by the organizer for the shortlisted films, we had to stop temporarily for the organizer to take photos... There were a large number of tourists around, and the atmosphere was very lively, but fortunately there were no fans of Neon.

Here, no one was pulled for an interview~

Reporter Ren Tabata from "Movie News" was among them. Looking at the handsome men and women on the red carpet, smiling coquettishly, he quickly patted the photographer next to him:

"Quick, quick, take more photos...it will be on the cover of the next issue of "Movie Weekly"!"

........

This is not the first time Naoki Nagayama has participated in an award ceremony. However, unlike Neon’s domestic awards, the winners list of the Cannes Film Festival will not be announced in advance. It will be read out by the award presenters at the end~

After sitting in his seat, Nagayama Naoki looked around.

This venue is actually no different from a movie theater, except that the big screen in front is replaced by a screen and a stage. Red chairs are neatly arranged around the main stage, but most of them are empty.

"It's afternoon and we're quite early... The red carpet ceremony will last until the evening." Shuichi Itou nervously said the common sense of the Cannes Film Festival, "There will be speeches after that and it will take a long time.

And then there’s the opening film…”

"Which one is the opening movie?"

"Oriana"

Today is just the opening ceremony. In fact, the main thing is just walking on the red carpet. Later, there will be speeches by the film festival officials, the opening film, and some interviews and filming...

Starting tomorrow, film screenings in the main competition section and other sections will begin.

"Can I not participate in the subsequent media interviews?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Absolutely not!" Itou Shuichi immediately refused, "Naoki-san, this is a great opportunity to expand Shuyou's international influence. You must not be absent...Besides..."

Suddenly stopped...Nagayama Naoki asked: "Besides what?"

Itou Shuichi looked a little embarrassed: "Besides, I'm not very proficient in foreign languages... I might not be able to express myself in front of the media."

"...."

In this era, English has a great international influence, and most interviews are conducted in English. Although the organizer will also provide translators, the level of translators varies, especially the Japanese to English translation, which may still be a neon person.

.....

Turning to look at the others, Tanaka Yuko also lowered his head:

"My English is not good enough to be interviewed..."

Kitano Takeshi was even more carefree: "I just say hello..."

As for the younger Naoto Fujiki, it is naturally even more impossible~

This made Nagayama Naoki shake his head and sigh at his own crew... They are just a bunch of grassroots crew who just got together and came to the International Film Festival!

While chatting casually about the upcoming activities, Takeshi Kitano suddenly interrupted:

"Naoki-san?! There's something I've always been curious about!"

"What?" Nagayama Naoki was confused.

"You said at the Film Academy Awards a few months ago that you would save your acceptance speech for the Palme d'Or..." Takeshi Kitano's words made everyone around him look over, "What kind of ground-breaking acceptance speech is it?

"

"!!!" It seems that I forgot something very important!

Naoki Nagayama's expression stiffened. He had been in Cannes for so many days and had never thought of this matter at all!

Itou Shuichi also joined the conversation:

"Yes, Naoki-san... I have never been clear about your acceptance speech... What exactly was your speech to stay at the Palme d'Or?"

"..."

Looking at the curious eyes of everyone, Naoki Nagayama could only delay strategically:

"Why are you so curious? Won't you know when you win the award?!"

"Hey..." "What~" "This needs to be kept secret..." "..."

Several people nearby complained in disappointment!

Naoki Nagayama here felt chills running down his spine... What kind of acceptance speech can be worthy of this long wait!

It will definitely be widely reported when I return!

.......

Akina Nakamori is holding a small press conference at the Kenin headquarters in Tokyo.

Since Matsuda Seiko is about to get married, the media all know the fact that Nakamori Akina, the only one who can compete with Matsuda Seiko, will soon ascend to the top of female idols...

After receiving the news of the press conference, many reporters rushed over diligently, filling the small press conference venue to the brim...

"Today's press conference is mainly to announce the release time of the next album and the time of the summer tour..."

Tanaka Yoshiaki made a guest appearance as the host. Although he had already been informed when the announcement was made, he did not comment before the press conference.

Communicated with reporters again about the published content,
