At the filming base, a quite large area was specially built... Naoki Nagayama walked around the set and was very satisfied.

"Neon is not like the Kowloon Walled City...if there was, it would really look like a gangster when photographed..."

In such a complicated and narrow neighborhood, the chase scenes and fight scenes will be exciting.

"Ishikawa-kun, please help me renovate the scene here during this time..." Nagayama Naoki said to Ishikawa Katsura who had been beside him, "Prepare some clothes from 30 years ago... and give them

I’m sending out some recruitment tips at the extras agency... We need some fierce-looking male extras, who want to play the role of Yakuza elements..."

"Hey, I got it!"

...

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama returned to the Tree Friends Building.

"Otomo-san~"

"Naoki-san, everyone is here!"

After Yoshimura Otomo saw Nagayama Naoki, he took him directly into the conference room. There were very familiar faces inside, all of whom were members of the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee.

"Mina-san, good afternoon~" Nagayama Naoki greeted everyone with a relaxed expression, "I have called everyone here today, but there is actually only one thing...the opening date of the Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching.

, let’s finally confirm the final process of the event..."

In fact, large-scale events are constantly changing until the last moment, and it is not uncommon for the Red and White Song Festival to change its program at the last minute.

"I will give the opening speech at the opening ceremony..."

Nagayama Naoki announced this directly without giving everyone any room to continue the discussion. By the way, he settled some points that were still being debated.

"The opening movie is "Haijie Diary"..."

"The opening ceremony will be broadcast jointly by the five major television stations..."

"The award-presenting guest..."

"...."

As the initiator, organizer, and organizer of the Tokyo International Film Festival... Shuyou does have a great say in this event, but he hopes that the Tokyo International Film Festival can exert its due influence.

, which requires the cooperation of other parties.

Therefore, in terms of broadcast rights, media interviews, award guests, exhibition venues, and promoted movies, Naoki Nagayama made a lot of concessions to major TV stations, established production companies such as Toho Toei, and official representatives...

Except for the opening words and the opening movie, Shuyou Pictures' exposure in other aspects is the lowest among all parties.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Naoki Nagayama..."

Toho's Minister Tomiri Nakano made comments after Naoki Nagayama's speech,

"Toho has no objections in other aspects...but when it comes to film awards..."

Naoki Nagayama and Shu Itou looked at each other, are they trying to interfere with the award?

This is the most important area of ​​the Tokyo Film Festival. If the awards are not objective and authoritative, then it will be impossible for this film festival to continue from the beginning.

"Regarding the selection of awards, all decisions have been left to the jury... There should be judges from Toho participating? Isn't Minister Nakano worried about the jury led by Imamura Shohei?"

"Ah, no, no, no, of course we agree very much with Imamura Shohei's judging panel." Nakano Chirui quickly shook his head. This cannot be admitted, "It's just... we feel that the awards in the main competition unit are too few!"

At present, there are only six awards in the main competition unit, including the Film Festival Grand Prize, the Jury Prize, the Best Director Award, the Best Actor, the Best Actress, and the Ozu Memorial Award... It is indeed a bit few...

..not even a fraction of the movie blue ribbon.

"What does Minister Nakano mean?"

"I would like to propose that in addition to the main competition section, some film festival encouragement awards... such as the Youth Film Award, are used to encourage young directors... The Critics' Special Award is used to encourage those who are working in the film industry.

A movie that caused controversy in the film industry...."

"There are also artistic contribution awards and special achievement awards... used to praise those who have made outstanding contributions to film art."

When Naoki Nagayama heard the names of these awards, he immediately understood...these awards are not judged by the quality of the film itself, but by words such as encouragement and contribution...

In fact, it’s the internal struggle within the film industry!!!

Generally speaking, for various film selection activities, these awards will definitely not be included in the first session... because the selection itself does not necessarily have any authority and popularity, and those senior big shots may not be interested in it...

....

It seems that the big guys are also very optimistic about this Tokyo International Film Festival!

Originally, Nagayama Naoki thought that this group of talents would ask for such an award at the second or third film festival!

"I see... Then how do you select the winners of these awards?" Nagayama Naoki nodded, and after looking around at the other members, he said noncommittally, "There are only ten days left until the opening!

"

"Haha, stupid tape!" Minister Nakano was very happy to see Naoki Nagayama had no objection, "As long as Naoki-san doesn't object, our preparatory committee can vote on its own... Anyway, Toho Toei Shochiku Kadokawa and others

Representatives from the film industry are here..."

"Well...that's okay~"

Anyway, it was just about printing a certificate and awarding an award, and it was not the main competition unit, so Naoki Nagayama had no objection.

He looked at Itou Shuichi:

"Xiu Yisang, let you take charge of this matter...the awards don't have to be too many~"

"Me?" Yi Tang Xiuyi was surprised, and then he understood instantly and nodded immediately, "Hey, I will be the host!"

Behind Shuichi Itou is the Tokyo Art Academy. The academic school is also a big faction in the film industry. They must also have the need for such honorary awards!

This matter is left to them to compete with each other. Naoki Nagayama now mainly wants to make the Tokyo International Film Festival a good one...

Everything else can be put aside...

After this minor incident, the meeting continued, regarding the screening of movies in various venues, where to register if other movies are to be exported or imported, etc.

The sun outside looks very bright. Near Yoyogi Park, film festival posters can be seen everywhere. Flags are fluttering in the wind. The Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching step by step~
