Tokyo Literature and Art Times

And this award itself is indeed a fake American Oscar, but if we really want to talk about the composition, it is mainly those few big companies.

Shochiku, Toho, Toei, Kadokawa... It wasn't Kadokawa originally, but Kadokawa bought a lot of dishes from the original Daiei, so they were counted.

Right now, Kadokawa Lihiko said such a thing, it was tantamount to Kadokawa making a statement.

One of the big four studios is already inclined to exclude "Nobody Knows", which is not good.

Members of many small companies are whispering.

It is true that many people from small companies actually came, but the big four companies really counted.

Shunji Iwai also saw this clearly, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"We are discussing the latest Academy of Film Awards, so there must be some new ideas, how can we not stick to the old ways."

Well said.

Many smaller companies have followed suit.

In fact, at present, Iwata Pictures is definitely not a small company, but in this kind of place, compared with the original four major film companies, their qualifications are really not enough.

Japan is very particular about ranking seniority. This is indeed criticized by the Japanese themselves, but they will still do it.

This country is like that, and I know that there are problems with various rules, but if I don't do that, if I don't follow the rules, it will be over.

Shunji Iwai's ability to say such a thing is already quite impressive.

So, what about the others?

"In terms of time, it's fine. There will be many good movies in December."

That's what Toei said.

Very smart.

Obviously, they also understand what the real purpose of this meeting is, but this statement is clearly biased towards Takeshi Iwata.

why?

In fact, it is very simple. They have no direct conflict of interest with Takeshi Iwata, and Toei actually does a lot of animation films.

So, there is no need to offend people.

Now it's interesting.

What is the attitude of Shochiku and Dongbao?

Generally speaking, Dongbao should be biased towards Takeshi Iwata, so now we are looking at Shochiku, right?

However, this time the situation is somewhat different.

Shinji Fukasaku, the white-headed supervisor, saw some clues as soon as he came in.

The representative sent by Dongbao was not Akio Shishoji.

This detail is very important.

At present, Akio Shishoji, at least in the eyes of outsiders, should be Dongbao's top supervisor.

Although he has his own company, there is no need to talk about his relationship with Dongbao.

It is absolutely no problem for Akio Shishoji to represent Toho to attend such a meeting.

However, it was Takao Ogawara who came this time, this is the supervisor of "Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla".

There is still a gap in his words compared with the Temple of Reality.

So why?

Fukasaku Kinji smiled slightly, already thinking about it.

"Let me first talk about the attitude of our Shochiku side."

As soon as he said this, the meeting room fell silent.

Japan is like this. Kinji Fukasaku is definitely the most senior, senior and most powerful in this room.

When such a person speaks, everyone else should be honest. It is not only polite, but also a rule.

Shunji Iwai wanted to say something, but he had no choice but to hold back.

A handsome face, flushed with suffocation.

Unexpectedly, Fukasaku Kinji actually said that.

"I think the focus of the current controversy is the movie "Nobody Knows"."

Good guy, he just brought the topic straight to the point.

"So, for this movie, from a movie point of view, it is indeed very good, and it also won the highest award at the Venice Film Festival. If such a movie cannot be shortlisted for the Academy Award, then it is likely to be a good choice for the Academy Award. Have a bad effect."

what? !

Shunji Iwai was stunned, this white-headed and salty guy actually spoke for Supervisor Iwata?

But then, that changed again.

"But, after all, it doesn't conform to the original rules, if you can't be shortlisted, there is nothing wrong with it.

In short, our attitude is that you can be shortlisted or not. "

This……

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

But in fact, Fukasaku Kinji is very proud of what he said to himself.

In short, he just didn't make that gun.

Who would like to be used as a gun.

What's more, in the current situation, Kinji Fukasaku is almost certain that "Nobody Knows" will definitely not be shortlisted.

He roughly guessed that Toho probably would not support Takeshi Iwata.

Yes, I can see it from the representatives.

If Toho supports Takeshi Iwata so much, he should send Shishoji Akio.

Because this is an attitude, let the old bald man play, and other small companies will understand what is going on.

But now the people are wrong, which means there must be a problem.

In fact... Kinji Fukasaku really guessed right.

It's just that he missed some things.

"So, what's Dongbao's attitude?"

Yes, here comes the most important thing.

Takao Ogawara nodded, "Why don't we vote by secret ballot."

When this suggestion came out, Fukasaku Kinji was extremely proud.

Yes, by secret ballot, even Takeshi Iwata would not know who was against him, right?

So, how did it turn out?

……

Takao Ogawara, he had indeed accepted that mission.

However, there is a reason for this task.

What Matsuoka told him was: "Wait for the call."

Is there any other change?

The supervisor has not received any calls so far, so...

Suddenly, the phone rang.

……

Matsuoka originally wanted to give Takeshi Iwata a sense of oppression.

Dongbao is currently under the control of Director Iwata. He agreed to take a stake in the theater before, and it was indeed because of tight funds.

But right now...

To Matsuoka's surprise, Shimadani and Yamauchi came together, and both of them produced a report.

Box Office Flash!

"The total box office of "Nobody Knows" exceeded 40 billion!"

This is the data after Christmas, this...

Matsuoka quickly grabbed the phone.

……

Kinji Fukasaku felt that his task had been completed, and he cast that vote.

Anonymous.

But the result...

"Everyone! The voting results are out now!"

Everyone in the venue was staring at the result. Will "Nobody Knows" be shortlisted?

"December counts or not, yes or no...no!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"yes..."

It is also simple to read the tickets, simply write orthographic.

It didn't take long for Kinji Fukasaku to sweat on his forehead.

what happened?

There were not many votes, and the results came out soon.

"December of this year, 1993, was included in the judging of this year's Film Academy Awards!"

This is tantamount to announcing that "Nobody Knows" has been shortlisted!

Why is this happening?

Kadokawa Haruki gave a thumbs up to Fukasaku Kinji over there...

No, he voted yes, right?

The white-headed supervisor is sure that he voted against it, even though he said so...

……

Chapter 401 1994

"Fire-breathing! The total box office of "Nobody Knows" exceeded 50 billion!"

"Big accident! The morale of the Japanese film market has been boosted!"

"Big devil! The box office boom in the last few days of this year!"

Regarding the determination of the final date of the Japanese Film Academy Awards, although this is definitely big news in the Japanese film circle, it is not news at all to the general public.

Even, even if it was published in the newspaper, it was just a mention.

Ordinary people pay attention to something more direct, and that is the movie "Nobody Knows". At the end of the year in 1993, it set off a wave of powerful movie-watching frenzy.

Originally, in a year like 1993, the box office of Japanese movies was in a state of continuous decline.

This is similar to the economic aspect, and there is nothing wrong with talking about a continuous collapse.

Many animated films have occupied the forefront of the box office charts.

It must be said that the standard of Japanese animation films in this period is very high, and these films are worthy of the box office.

However, the weakness of live-action movies is also an indisputable fact.
