"Could it be that the teacher said that because he has full confidence in Iwata-san?"

"Ha ha……"

Regarding Nakadai Tatsuya's statement, Kurosawa smiled and said nothing.

But, that's enough.

Enough for Nakadai Tatsuya to start thinking about it.

"It turned out to be like this! It turned out that the teacher had expected such a result early in the morning, so the teacher made such a speech. In fact, this speech by the teacher affected the final result. This actually saved the reputation of the Japanese Academy of Film Awards ! Teacher, Sbarasi!"

That's right, the logic is perfect.

Look, Takeshi Iwata's "Nobody Knows" has now won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Although the best picture of the Oscar was given to "Schindler's List", on the one hand, this result was expected by all, and the political correctness was too much to add. Plus, the best movie of the year.

At least that's what Oscar thinks, it's the members of Oscar, they think so.

Well, the Japan Film Academy Award itself is an Oscar copycat award.

If "Nobody Knows" did not win the final award, what would happen to the Academy of Film Awards?

Be a laughing stock!

For sure!

Absolutely!

Even the Japanese would be very embarrassed.

It was originally a counterfeit product, but in the end you want to smack someone's face with the genuine one?

So, if that kind of result really happens, then this is definitely a super big joke.

It will make Japanese movies an international joke, and even make Japan a big joke.

In short, Japan, which cares a lot about face in the world, and the Japanese government, which has spent a lot of money, will be very embarrassed.

Therefore, after the current result comes out, there will be an official statement immediately.

Hosokawa once again congratulated Takeshi Iwata.

This time the name was justified, and he also gained a lot of support.

Looking at it now, Mr. Kurosawa Akira really has the foresight and the ability to predict the future.

Then think again.

In that speech, what is there that does not know how to flatter, does not care about the occasion, the old man is messing around.

It is basically a speech that saved Japanese movies and the image of Japan as a country.

and so……

"Sbarasi! Teacher, Si Guoyi!"

Nakadai Tatsuya's whole body was melted.

Faced with the proud student who thinks more than himself, Akira Kurosawa is in a good mood.

How could he have thought so much at that time, it was just a moment of anger, just to vent his anger.

Looking at the current situation, NTV and Shochiku and so on, if they don't say they are grateful to themselves, they can't do anything excessive.

Isn't it wonderful!

But this so-called 'unpredicted prophet'.

"I just have more confidence in that kid."

These words were really just right, and Nakadai Tatsuya was full of thoughts.

The two chatted a lot, and Akira Kurosawa kept laughing, in a great mood.

However, what about Takeshi Iwata of the United States?

How is he now?

……

Oscar night, that's really okay enough.

For those who did not win, many gifts will be given.

And the winner is the darling of the night.

Yes, that reception.

In fact, the reception was quite business-like, and in short, there would be no place for unrestrained behavior.

And, like many film festivals.

Oscar is also here for business, that is to say, many people come to discuss business.

Although Takeshi Iwata is not as good as Spielberg, this great director is definitely the most powerful and successful director in the United States and even the world at the moment, and Spielberg is also an independent director.

DreamWorks, this is his own company.

Well, Takeshi Iwata is indeed not as good as Spielberg in movies.

However, this time he was also very beautiful, surrounded by many people.

Many people know that Takeshi Iwata is also the owner of the very fashionable video rental shop.

Netflix is ​​now becoming more and more famous in Hollywood.

Well, the main reason is that some time ago, as "Breaking Bad" became more and more popular, Netflix members experienced explosive growth.

The feeling for many Americans is that...

Why didn't I know there was such a good rental shop before?

Of course, this is also related to that behemoth, Brock Buster Rental Company.

They still impose heavy fines on members who forget to return and damage the tapes as before.

But right now, it can be clearly seen that the vitality of their company is declining.

Ever since, many people got close to Takeshi Iwata in various ways.

The famous supervisor from Japan already has the status of a big boss in the United States.

And, of course, the Weinstein brothers.

They were both very happy.

In front of Takeshi Iwata, he asked for various credits, and even talked about his future plans.

Of course, to carry forward this successful experience, they want to set up a 'lobbying company'.

Very good, of course Takeshi Iwata is going to take a stake, this kind of thing will definitely be of great use in the future.

However, when Takeshi Iwata experienced all this, he always felt that there was a gaze staring at him.

who?

The next day, Takeshi Iwata had the answer.

It should be said that Takeshi Iwata slept well that night.

In order to prevent Miyazawa Rie's possible re-offensive, of course they all went to the hotel this night.

Although living alone in a big house is relatively lonely, this... is somewhat like Versailles.

But no matter, the next day I had other plans, but I didn't want to, Xu Feng called.

From the phone, Takeshi Iwata still couldn't hear anything, even Xu Feng's tone was still full of joy.

But, come out and meet like this.

"Mr. Iwata, hello."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, hello, we can communicate in Chinese."

Takeshi Iwata met Dao Chen this time, and besides...

"Although I knew Mr. Iwata was proficient in Chinese early on, but seeing him now, he is really extraordinary."

"Miss Gong Li, you are welcome."

That's right, Gong Li, she's here too!

The way this international actress looked at her made her feel a little familiar.

She was the one at the reception last night, right?

As for Xu Feng, it was obvious that she was just a companion this time.

"First of all, congratulations to Iwata-san..."

Director Chen showed his heart, he said with a smile.

Takeshi Iwata knew his character early on, so he didn't take this kind of words seriously.

If you want to talk, just talk.

And soon, the topic entered the real topic.

"Mr. Iwata, I'd love to know your opinion on Asian movies."

"Oh, what does this view... refer to?"

"Mr. Iwata's works have won many awards at internationally renowned film festivals, and he has even won Oscars twice, so of course I want to hear Mr. Iwata's thoughts on how Asian films have achieved international success. gone."

"Oh, so it's this."

When Takeshi Iwata heard this, he felt a little strange.

What's so strange?

Director Chen, such an arrogant person, such a small-minded person, I just beat him once, but this guy... oh oh oh!

I got it.

Takeshi Iwata remembered that there were some rumors on the Internet later, but they were not really rumors. They were published by Director Chen in some Japanese film magazines.

To put it simply... the specific content is a bit embarrassing, basically it is to say that I am useless, Japan is so awesome.

Now he is showing an attitude like a student, and he is asking Takeshi Iwata for advice!

To be honest, Takeshi Iwata was a little embarrassed.

How old is he this year, that is, thirty, and Director Chen is older than him.

Moreover, Takeshi Iwata is still a Chinese at heart, and he is still a professional. Director Chen is better than him in terms of qualifications and strength.

But now...

Then why am I being polite? !

“About this matter, there is actually nothing special.

First of all, we have to admit that in today's era, Europe and the United States are indeed dominating the mainstream of movies on this planet.

This mainstream category is not only the plot, but also the aesthetics.

This is indeed the truth, and we need not avoid him.

But how to accept this fact?

Personally, it's that I'm not going to obey, or rather, I'm not going to surrender to that fact.

European and American movies, let me put it bluntly, are Hollywood movies. There are indeed many merits, which are worth learning.

But sticking to our own Asian stuff, that's the real key.

Asian films must have the direct style of Asian films.

We Asian filmmakers also have our own unique style.

Learn its techniques and uphold our cultural self-confidence.

That's all I want to say. "

After speaking, it can be said that he is just and strict, but Director Chen is a little confused.

Why does what this person said seem to have a lot of subtext?
