.......

In mid-to-late September, the temperature in Tokyo becomes more and more pleasant. This kind of day where summer and autumn meet is the most comfortable~

The morning air has a hint of coolness, which makes people start the day refreshingly. As the sun rises, the sunshine is warm and lukewarm. At night, the evening breeze blows softly on the face, like

A lover's hand can soothe your tired mood after a long day.

The surface of Tokyo has begun to become colorful. Colorful hibiscus flowers are blooming on the fence, morning glories are spreading their purple trumpets, red begonias are clustered together, and rosemary exudes a fresh fragrance...

..Even among the rich green of the grass, there are gorgeously red Hibiscus flowers...

However, the most popular ones in Tokyo in autumn are chrysanthemums... all kinds of chrysanthemums, big and small, strong clusters, golden and pink... a wide variety of chrysanthemums are waiting to be seen

In October, Tokyo will be decorated like spring when flowers are in bloom!

"The sea of ​​flowers in Lake Toya should be in full bloom again~" Nagayama Naoki was sighing while driving. You can also see the changing color of the maple leaves through the window. "The maple leaves of the Red Fish Garden are about to turn red too.

....”

"You have to find time to go on vacation! Otherwise, these two yards would not have been in vain..."

But there are really a lot of things happening at the end of September and the beginning of October. The most important thing...the Tokyo International Film Festival is about to be held!

"Naoki-san~"

Yoshimura Otomo rarely left the office and took Naoki Nagayama to Shibuya. There are more than a dozen movie theaters here, as well as the NHK Hall in the main hall... This is also the official support of Tokyo...

“The city government’s support for the Tokyo International Film Festival is great! They coordinated with the Traffic Management Bureau to conduct traffic control near the venue during the week when the Tokyo International Film Festival is held... Each theater will have direct access

.....There are other shops...."

"That's good~"

The Tokyo International Convention and Exhibition Center, Tokyo Ariake Convention and Exhibition Center and other world-famous convention and exhibition centers have not been established, and there is no cultural village or the like, so this time the Tokyo International Film Festival is centered around the NHK Hall, as well as Yoyogi

Other venues, etc.....

Before entering the main venue, Naoki Nagayama saw Tokyo International Film Festival promotional materials starting to be hung on the street lights around Yoyogi Park. Even the billboards at the bus stops near the venue had Tokyo International Film Festival.

Promotional poster for the festival.

Yoshimura Otomo noticed Nagayama Naoki's gaze and immediately added:

"In terms of publicity, we placed advertisements on almost all the main thoroughfares in Shibuya, Tokyo... The closer we are to the venue, the more promotional materials we have... When it officially started, even at airports, stations, subway stations, etc.

There will be them everywhere..."

"Hmm~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded. There are basically fixed templates for the promotion of this kind of film festival, but this time the Tokyo International Film Festival is just a little grander.

The two walked to the main venue, where the decoration was basically completed. A large poster of the "Tokyo International Film Festival" was on the outer wall of the main entrance of the NHK Hall...

"We won't lay out the red carpet until before the official opening." Fangcun Otomo said, pointing to the large open space in front of the door, "This will be the place for the red carpet then!"

"Will it be called Shibuya Red Carpet from now on?"

Naoki Nagayama also recalled the red carpet at Cannes, the countless media and cameras, the celebrities competing for their beauty... The red carpet that day was synonymous with Vanity Fair.

Walking into the NHK Hall, Naoki Nagayama saw the decoration of the main venue carefully designed by the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee...

"The NHK Hall is originally a venue for large-scale events such as the Red and White Song Festival, the Song Festival and so on." Otomo Yoshimura brought Naoki Nagayama to the main venue. "Most of the facilities are complete and are used to award awards and accept interviews with the media.

.....It’s all very convenient~”

"Also, in Yoyogi Park next to it, there are open-air parties and the night open-air theater that Naoki-san mentioned before..."

"...."

Yoshimura Otomo talked endlessly about the venue arrangements of the Tokyo International Film Festival, and he felt full of a sense of accomplishment.

Such a large international event can be prepared in such a short time. On the one hand, Tokyo has experience in hosting large-scale international events and has countless event support companies. On the other hand, there is also the active participation of all parties in the preparatory committee.

Cooperate.

Established film companies such as Toho and Toei have contributed their theaters and channels, the Tokyo City Government and other officials have provided venue and program conveniences, and other parties in the entertainment industry are all contributing to the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Use your own strength.

Everyone wants to make this cake bigger~

In fact, Naoki Nagayama can only be regarded as a nominal sponsor, helping to contact all parties, inviting big names in the international film industry, etc... The really busy ones have been Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, and other members of the preparatory committee.

staff.

"Otomo-san...it's already perfect!" Nagayama Naoki looked at the basically completed venue and gave Yoshimura Otomo 100% approval, "Great job! It's worthy of being Otomo-san!"

"Haha, it's actually nothing~" Otomo Fangcun was extremely proud!

“It all depends on everyone’s joint efforts!”

"No matter what, without Otomo-san's coordination, it would not have been possible so quickly and so well!"

"Haha, Naoki-san is so praised~"

"..."

In order to protect the strongest tool man, Naoki Nagayama said kind words one after another, making Otomo Fangcun smile and glow. Even the reflection of the Mediterranean Sea above his head shone much brighter than usual... In the slightly dim environment

Indoors, like a light bulb~

After inspecting Yoyogi for more than an hour, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura returned to the Shuyu Building in Ikebukuro.

Yoshimura Otomo continued his work, while Nagayama Naoki came to Itou Shuichi's office:

"Shuichi-san?"

Itou Shuichi was holding a thick script and reading it carefully. It was the second revised script of "The Man with Zero Presence" that he was going to film later.

"Didn't Naoki-san go see the venue?"

"Yes, I'm back." Nagayama Naoki sat on the sofa, "The basic construction of the venue has been completed, and there will be a rehearsal at the end of the month, but there should be no problem."

Itou Shuichi put down the script, stood up and sat next to Nagayama Naoki and poured a cup of tea:

“The entertainment industry is very experienced in providing offline support to film festivals!”

"Yes~" Nagayama Naoki nodded and continued, "By the way, Shuichi-san...how is the progress on the jury's side?"

Shohei Imamura and the jury had already stayed at a resort hotel in Tokyo Bay and had been watching movies for almost a month. The person responsible for communicating with the jury was Shuichi Itou.

"When I contacted me last week, Imamura Shohei-san told me that the finalists have been selected," Shuichi Itou said, "I have submitted the list to the preparatory committee... and now we are in the process of finalizing it.

Judgment of awards.”

"That means the judges are going to fight~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

The judges on the jury come from many countries and are all big names in the film-related fields. They are all experts in their own fields. Naturally, they all have their own preferences and judging standards.

The final evaluation is to see whether a certain judge can convince more people... to let their favorite movie win the award.

"Hahaha, fight..." Itou Xiuyi smiled, "Naoki-san, those are decent people, how could they stage a full martial arts show!"

"Bah, all decent people are just pretending~" Nagayama Naoki disdained, "They are all ordinary people...of course they will fight when they can't be dealt with!"

Not to mention the film industry, even in the political world, which always prides itself on being a superior and respectable person, there are many members of parliament who perform all-out martial arts!

"The judges can't reach that level..." Itou Shuichi still didn't believe it.

Nagayama Naoki shook his head:

"Next time, the selection process will also be recorded and edited into a reality show. I'm sure many people will want to watch it!"

"......"good idea.....

After the two chatted about the Tokyo Film Festival activities in the office for a while, they returned to filming.

"Shuichi-san, isn't your script ready yet? I've already found actors here..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'll start filming then!"

"It must be Kijima-san." Itou Shuichi stood up and handed a plan to Naoki Nagayama, "He even put forward a plan for the presentation meeting."

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the plan for the "101 Proposals" production reveal meeting...

“Is it actually held before the film festival?”

"Kijima-kun is a little impatient~" Shuichi Itou sighed with emotion.

Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes, wasn't it because Shuichi-san you wanted to steal his project before...

So "The 101 Proposals" should be filmed first, then Naoki Nagayama's "Hayato: New World", and finally Shuichi Itou's project.

At the end of the 1960s, Shuyu Pictures' main shooting plans were these three.

.......

In the hall building of TBS TV station, there are dozens of studios that can record at the same time, recording different programs in different categories.

Except for a few long-lived programs, most of them will probably use the same venue in turn, but there are exceptions... For example, some variety shows of similar types often use the same studio.

After the main stage was set up, the guests came out to be interviewed and then performed with singing... This is a very common announcement for idols and singers in this era.

Akina Nakamori came to participate in the filming of the variety show today...
