Vol 2 Chapter 542 Start a new era of cinema! (season finale)

   Chapter 542 Opens a new era of movies! (season finale)

   “Iwata, do you want to hear good news?”

   “What good news?”

  A generation of film master Akira Kurosawa passed away, and the influence of this incident has not disappeared.

  Iwata Takeshi was also incapable of being self-reliant from various interviews.

   However, Takeshi Iwata still has to answer Jiang Wen’s call.

  Unexpectedly, he gave himself a surprise.

  Iwata Takeshi even wanted to say, you Jiang Wen explained to me what her mother’s surprise was.

  Fortunately, there is no need to say this, Jiang Wen can’t hide himself.

   “Let me tell you, our movie is “The Devil is Coming”, haha! It’s been reviewed!”

“real?”

   “Really, of course it’s true!”

   “That’s great! Hurry up and start showing it!”

   “This is natural, but, all in all, shouldn’t we try our luck at a film festival?”

   “Your ambition is not small!”

“Ha ha…”

   is indeed good news, and Takeshi Iwata cannot deny it.

   Of course, he also heard it, Jiang Wen is very ambitious.

   This is also true.

  Man.

   Can you not have any ambitions?

  According to the original situation, this film should have participated in the Cannes Film Festival.

   Probably the one in 2000.

   But right now, there is Takeshi Iwata.

   To be honest, Takeshi Iwata still felt a little unsure.

  Although, he has made a lot of efforts before, and hope this film can pass the censorship.

   Can it really be so smooth?

  Is it possible, it was showing, and then it said no?

   This is very possible.

   It seems that the legendary “Lonely Soul in the Black Building” was originally a good box office, but it was stopped.

   Then there is that “Apple”.

  Yes, this movie is relatively new.

  Na Jinsuo and Dawei were called by the General Administration to talk, and the city was full of storms at that time.

   Of course, that movie is indeed compared in that place…

   ahem…

   In other words, this review, sometimes it’s not over all at once.

   is likely to follow.

   But right now…

   Forget it, Takeshi Iwata didn’t think much about it.

  Since the above said that it can be released now, let’s do it quickly.

   At least, it would be good if this movie was released for a day.

  This is indeed a very good film.

   So, Takeshi Iwata started to work on it.

   He simply called Marco and asked him to help out.

   and other things.

   His theater layout in mainland China should now play a role.

   And, there is another key point.

  Japan!

   Yes, Takeshi Iwata has made a plan, he will let this “Devils Come” be released in Japan.

   In fact, in the original time and space, this movie was shown in Japan.

   As far as the box office is concerned, the performance is not bad.

Although    is not amazing enough, it can be regarded as a qualified movie for an anti-Japanese-themed movie.

   This famous supervisor is really good enough.

   So determined to arrange an anti-Japanese movie to be released in Japan…

   Is this going to set off a wave of ‘devils’?

   It makes me very emotional when I think about it.

  …

   February 1999.

Berlin, Germany.

  Here has become the focus of global filmmakers.

   Anyone who can come, come here.

   There are many stars and celebrities here.

   But seriously, the decline here is totally visible right now.

  The Berlin Film Festival is indeed not as good as it used to be.

   It should be said that the movies in the whole of Europe are not as good as before.

   The three major film festivals in Europe, as before, require new films to participate.

   This is actually a bit arrogant.

   Many blockbusters of big directors have chosen not to make their debut in Europe due to commercial considerations.

  Fortunately, the Berlin Film Festival is also one of the top three in Europe, and the skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

   There are many famous guides who also give face.

   In addition, this film festival is a little more attractive.

   gives more bonuses.

  Berlin Film Festival Among the three major film festivals, the prize money should be the highest.

   Of course, not to mention the Oscars in the United States, it is simply stingy for the sake of being stingy.

   But it is clear that we are pursuing art and cannot come because of these bonuses.

Right.

   “Mr. Jiang Wen, what kind of movie is “The Devil Is Coming” this time?”

   “Mr. Jiang Wen, does the title of this movie offend Japan?”

   “Mr. Jiang Wen, I heard that this movie will be released in Japan. What will be the response? Or, will you consider changing the name?”

  Berlin, Jiang Wen is really no stranger to him.

   However, this time his identity is really unusual.

   The key is his latest film, which is just too controversial.

   “The Devil is Coming”.

   What is going on with this devil?

   Anyone who knows some history and Chinese culture can understand this name.

   is not a good name.

  So, will it have an impact on Japan?

  This time, there are some Japanese media who came to Berlin.

  Although it wasn’t their specialized reporters, some international students and so on had cameos.

   Devil?

Jap?

   Don’t you scold us?

  How does Jiang Wen respond?

   “The name will definitely not change, isn’t it a good name.”

   Good guy, it’s hard steel on the front.

   fits his character very well.

   will never change.

   But, a tough question was soon asked.

   “This movie was assisted by Director Iwata, so what does he think of this title?”

   Jiang Wenke has been waiting for this question for a long time.

   “He said it himself, it’s very appropriate!”

  …

   In Berlin in February, snow is indispensable.

   Snowflakes the size of goose feathers are falling slowly.

  In a tavern, the aroma of sausages and big elbows is wafting out.

  The food here in Germany is somewhat like Northeastern cuisine.

  The classic dishes are crispy pork belly and sauerkraut.

   It’s just that the sauerkraut here is pickled with kohlrabi, and the taste is slightly different.

   As for that crispy big elbow.

   That is indeed incense.

  Iwata Takeshi will not miss it, he also ordered a table, but right now, there is only one person in front of him.

   Morita Yoshimitsu.

   “Iwata-san, I’m sorry to bother you.”

   “This, nothing.”

   “How could it be nothing, Ming Cai and Miss Zhongshan…haha…I didn’t see them all.”

   “Haha… It’s nothing, it doesn’t matter what you see and can’t see.”

   “Splashy!”

   Indeed, Takeshi Iwata is not alone.

   When he came to Germany this time, it seemed that he had never been to the Berlin Film Festival before, so Ming Cai and Xiao Ren also followed.

   Family travel.

   Xiaoren now has no problem with her actions. She gave birth to twins to Takeshi Iwata.

   This keeps Akina always mentioned.

   I was working very hard, but Xiaoren caught up with him all of a sudden.

  This says…

   At this moment, the two sisters are always laughing.

   Takeshi Iwata doesn’t know what to do.

   Anyway, try to satisfy two wives, that’s always right, right?

   As for now, it is nothing to be bumped into by Morita Yoshimitsu.

   The representative figure of the new trend of Japanese movies, he came to Berlin this time and brought his latest masterpiece “Criminal Law Article 39”.

   The name sounds strange.

   Is the famous director who has always been very good at romance films, wanting to give fans a law-enforcement?

   is neither.

   This “Criminal Law” refers of course to Japan’s criminal law, and Article 39 is directly related to a group.

teenager.

   That’s right, in fact, Article 39 of the Criminal Law is Japan’s Juvenile Delinquency Protection Law.

   Let’s put it this way, in recent years, many juvenile crimes have appeared, because of this law, they have been acquitted.

   There have been many, many, unacceptable cases.

   Morita Yoshimitsu told this story and presented it to everyone through a rather strange narrative method.

   This movie is still very thoughtful.

   Even many people cannot relate to juvenile delinquency, because it is a mentally ill crime on the surface, but it is actually the same law.

   And, from the point of view of moving the mirror, it is quite retro.

how to say?

   If you have seen Kurosawa Akira’s early films, you will be impressed.

   He always likes to give people close-up shots.

   is not a close-up view like Shaw Brothers.

   is the kind of close-up view of Akira Kurosawa.

   Let one face of the character occupy a fairly large screen.

   This time Morita Yoshimitsu did the same.

  The male protagonist, Tijinyi, is a big face in many cases, occupying the entire scene.

so…

   “This movie is in memory of Mr. Kurosawa Akira?” Iwata Takeshi asked Morita Yoshimitsu to smile.

   “Just wanted to shoot like this.”

   His answer has a style of his own.

   Takeshi Iwata nodded.

   Morita Yoshimitsu couldn’t help it, “Iwata-san, don’t you really plan to carry the banner of Japanese movies?”

   “No, I didn’t say I didn’t make movies anymore.”

   “But, I see you haven’t been back to Japan for a long time.”

   “But it’s hard not to be called a Japanese movie, right?”

   Morita Yoshimitsu was silent for a while after hearing this.

   “Haha…I see.”

   Takeshi Iwata had to say again: “I think not only in Asia, but in the whole world, the future of movies should be in China.”

   These words shocked Morita Fangguang.

   He understood a lot.

   “Then I won’t bother.”

   “It’s okay, I can treat you.”

   “Haha…I don’t need it anymore. I really had a lot to say to Director Iwata just now. Now…I really don’t bother.”

  Iwata Takeshi’s hospitality is okay, and he also wants to leave Morita Yoshimitsu.

   But this famous supervisor left very interesting.

   “Uncle, he won’t talk nonsense, right?”

   “Supervisor Morita should not.”

   Akina and the Shinobi sisters are back again.

   I’m really sorry just now.

   But what was Takeshi Iwata’s reaction?

   “If you’re worried, I’ll just keep my mouth shut.”

   Good guy, is this guy going to show the power of the emperor underneath?

   “What! Director Morita is a very nice person.”

   “That’s it.”

   The two sisters, naturally, Iwata Takeshi is not allowed to do that kind of thing.

   Of course, Takeshi Iwata was joking.

   Just the moment…

   “That movie is called Devil, is it really okay?”

   “It’s a fact, it wasn’t like that back then.”

   “A Wu, you look like a Chinese!”

   Could it be, what did Ming Cai see?

   “Let’s go buy, buy, buy, okay?”

   Takeshi Iwata doesn’t care about this at all, he just wants to be happy with his two wives.

   And is there any dissatisfaction between Akina and Shinobi?

   I’m hungry, let’s have a good meal first!

  …

   “The Devil Is Coming” won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

   This made Jiang Wen still a little angry.

   But this is also very good, isn’t it.

  The next step is to prepare for the release.

   Takeshi Iwata returned to Tokyo because of preparations for the Japanese release.

   “Iwata-san.”

   “kohhy.”

   “Why are you always overseas recently?”

   “This…for tax evasion.”

“what…”

   I ran into kohhy, the prototype of Axiang in “City Hunter”, and her charm is still the same.

   It’s just that there is a little bit of time on his face.

   Seriously, Takeshi Iwata to kohhy…

   “Do you want to go to the Red and White Song Party?”

“what?”

   “Actually, although I know this country, there is nothing I can do to stop it, but your voice can at least make people nostalgic for the past.”

   Takeshi Iwata’s words seemed strange, but kohhy somehow understood it.

   Anyway, if you want to go red and white, go for it.

   “Do you really have this strength?”

   “Oh, don’t underestimate me.”

   “Haha…I don’t quite believe it.”

   “Anyway, get ready!”

   The two were like old friends, gags.

  Kohhy’s rock, gives a strong sense of vitality.

   That was the main theme of Japan in the 1980s.

   It is the 1990s, after the bubble economy and the Asian financial crisis.

  It is almost difficult for Japan to feel full of vigor.

  Kohhy is also not as popular as it used to be.

   But, if she went red and white last time, it would seem to be a good thing.

   Then, is there another person who can wear red and white?

  …

   “Do you want to?”

   “What, I really can’t stand that kind of stage.”

   “My strength is no problem, and I can even give you a very unique arrangement.”

   “What arrangement?”

   “It’s like providing you with a closed space, you can choose to open it, or you can choose not to open it, how?”

   “I didn’t understand.”

   “That is to say, don’t let others look at you, you can sing.”

   “Forget it! It’s impossible to do this!”

  Spring water, she is still so shy.

   But, I really have to blame Takeshi Iwata for this.

   This approach he proposed is really strange.

   How could red and white songs allow this?

   Of course, Takeshi Iwata does have enough strength and influence.

   If Quan Shui wants to go to the red and white song party, there is no problem at all.

   But since she doesn’t want to.

   Takeshi Iwata will not force it.

only…

   “Will you return to Japan in the future?”

  Compared to kohhy, it seems that the question asked by the spring seems to know more about Takeshi Iwata.

Superintendent    shook his head helplessly, “I don’t know, but I’ll always come back.”

“That’s good.”

   After listening to the spring water, my heart was filled with joy.

   She could hear the subtext in those words.

  Iwata Takeshi will never forget her even if she lives overseas.

   That’s enough.

  …

   When the affairs were almost handled, Iwata Takeshi left Japan again.

   Of course, the current public opinion is frying again.

   How could you Iwata be able to invest in a movie called “The Devil Has Come”?

   Whatever you say, feel free to do so.

   Takeshi Iwata didn’t care at all.

   is like the cool line in “Three-Body Problem”.

  The Lord doesn’t care.

   on the plane.

   Oh yes, this is his private jet.

   “Awu!”

   “Uncle!”

“you…”

   “Did you have a connection with your old lover?”

“what?”

   “Uncle, actually, my sister Miho also likes uncle very much.”

“No way!”

   Akina and Shinobi, the two of them are really tight on the offensive.

   Ordinary people, where can you live?

  …

  The plane took off.

  Iwata Takeuaki Akina and Shinobu embraced, and the three of them looked down at the earth from a high altitude.

  The country of Japan is getting smaller and smaller.

   “Will it be like “Japan Sinking”?” Xiao Ren suddenly asked such a question.

   Akina covered her mouth and smiled, “How is that possible.”

  Iwata Takeshi said: “The country of Japan may not be as good as the Titanic.”

   This is weird, but it seems to make sense.

   In fact, Takeshi Iwata is going to live overseas, among other things.

   All because he has seen it clearly.

   An era has come to an end.

   This is the literary age of Japanese cinema.

  A new era is about to begin.

   But in the new era, there is no place for Japan.

   A new age, a new age of cinema.

   can only belong to China.
