Tokyo Literature and Art Times

"Yes, it makes sense."

All of a sudden, Endo Kenichi, Kagawa, and Osugi Ren all expressed their views.

Wuyang Wuyang, even if he wasn't originally from Yakuza, now he has a three-point temperament.

Takeshi Iwata had a headache, he never expected to encounter difficulties in framing.

The few films I shot before were not difficult in this regard, even the battle of Aoba House can be done.

Or, why not go to mainland China to build a Tokyo streetscape?

Thinking of this, the words 'Japanese Style Street' appeared in Takeshi Iwata's mind.

Maybe it will be boycotted?

The key is that it is different from "Kill That Man". This time, there are exterior scenes, so we have to create some life atmosphere.

Is it possible that many Japanese people are still being tricked into filming in China?

It can't be done, the cost is too high.

"Just go to the countryside and find a place to build a studio."

"It's troublesome, isn't it?"

"Then what do you say?"

"The key is that without the atmosphere of a big city, in my opinion, it is difficult to create a feeling of 'I am alone in a sea of ​​people'."

Xiao Hinata's last sentence silenced everyone.

Takeshi Iwata nodded to him and gave him encouraging applause.

Yep, that's how it feels.

Just like "This Killer Is Not So Cold", Leon and Matilda are clearly in the world's largest city like New York, but they are alone and helpless.

Many times it will give the audience an illusion, are they really living in New York?

Now, it has become Leon and Tatsuko, and Takeshi Iwata also wants to create this kind of loneliness in the big city.

This is why Takeshi Iwata insisted on filming in Tokyo.

So, what to do?

"Let's build the streets too." Terashima Susumu said.

street?

This project...

After Iwata Takeshi heard this, his heart moved.

But at this moment, someone came back.

"Supervisor! Brother! Boss! Hahaha... My film has been selected for the Yokohama Film Festival!"

Sonoko Wen, this guy flew off his top hat happily, and gave Takeshi Iwata a hug.

Takeshi Iwata finally remembered Sonoko Wen, he was going to make a movie before.

As aniki, of course I support it.

As a result, this guy made a movie called "Sighing Bicycle", and this movie was shortlisted for the Yokohama Film Festival.

Wait a minute before I remember.

Then comes award season.

This year, due to the sudden drop in the stock market, the film awards season has also been delayed.

At this moment, Takeshi Iwata suddenly thought of something.

"Everyone, how about we go to Yokohama to film?"

Yokohama?

Not filming in Tokyo anymore?

Takeshi Iwata smiled, "Let's go to Yokohama to find a street similar to Tokyo, build it, and then..."

Before the words were finished, everyone was happy.

This idea is great!

but……

"Need a lot of engineering staff? Then who do you turn to?"

Kohinata's worries are justified, and Takeshi Iwata is full of confidence.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of people."

Aren't there many Yakuza who want to wash their hands in the golden basin?

Is there any work for Dashi Wentai?

You all go to the construction site to collect ashes now.

A strange smile appeared on Takeshi Iwata's face, and everyone couldn't help shivering.

……

In fact, in terms of awards season, the Yokohama Film Festival is quite early.

As you can tell from the name, this film festival is held in Yokohama and is organized by the city.

To put it bluntly, it's not a big prize.

However, this film festival also has its own characteristics, that is, it likes to encourage young filmmakers.

It's a bit similar to the Sundance Film Festival, and the selection is limited to local films, more like Sundance.

The film festival begins at the end of January, and the awards are presented in early February.

The location of the awards is held in an auditorium in Yokohama, and sometimes the location is changed.

In short, although it has a certain history and a certain status, it is really not a grand prize.

But even so, it has to be reported, right?

A young man came to Yokohama with the team of the TV station, and many movies have already started to be screened.

As a member of Fuji TV, the young man feels a little bored about his job.

Carrying the camera, walking back and forth.

So tired.

It's just that the young man didn't expect that he would meet that person at this film festival.

"Sighing Bicycle" newcomer supervises Yuan Ziwen's work!"

Showing movies is similar to opening a store in a shopping street, you have to shout.

But young people's attention is not on this film, nor on the newcomer's supervisory top hat.

"Supervisor Iwata, can you tell me your opinion on this movie?"

"It seems that Superintendent Garden is your favorite general."

"After that, will Superintendent Yuanzi fly solo?"

Takeshi Iwata, this ferocious man, wearing a black wool coat and black sunglasses, was surrounded by reporters.

The young man didn't expect to see Takeshi Iwata here, and he didn't expect that Takeshi Iwata would have such an image.

Wait a minute, is this... is he getting into character?

The young man made a bold guess, and he had an inexplicable impulse.

Of course, not Takeshi Iwata, a vicious man.

……

When I came to Yokohama, on the one hand, I helped Yuanzi warm up the platform, and on the other hand, of course, I was preparing for "This Killer Is Not So Cold".

I really found a place with a three-story building surrounded by residential streets, and this building is still an old factory building, which can be used for renovation.

The overall cost is about 1 million yen, and we are only shooting scenes for decoration, and we don't care about the rest.

These days, money is really worthless.

It will take about a month to start filming, but now... those reporters are really good enough.

Takeshi Iwata was quite tired, but On the contrary, Sonoko was much more relaxed.

Forget it, let him deal with it by himself in the future.

Takeshi Iwata found a secluded place and just sat down to rest, but found a shadow on the ground.

"Excuse me, is it Director Iwata?"

"Oh, it's me, may I ask..."

Takeshi Iwata looked up and found that this person looked very familiar.

Immediately afterwards, the young man took out a business card.

"My name is Shunji Iwai, and I work for Fuji TV. Please take care of me."

After finishing speaking, he bowed respectfully...

Chapter 153 Shunji Iwai, 'Ten Best' and 'Ten Bad'

In this world, there are some people who just look at art.

Long hair, handsome face, slightly melancholy eyes, Shunji Iwai has all these.

Some people look like a yakuza, like Takeshi Iwata should hold a machete, or at least a baseball bat, tilt his head, and look at people with his nostrils.

But now, the guy who looks like a yakuza is a supervisor, and the guy who looks like an artist is just a TV clerk.

This is really interesting, so interesting that Takeshi Iwata has an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Iwai-san, hello, what can I do for you?" The tone of a big boss was pompous.

Iwai Shunji didn't feel that there was anything wrong, on the contrary, he felt that he was the one who was rude.

"Iwata-san, I'm really sorry, I was too abrupt."

Oh, sure enough polite.

Iwata Takeshi knew a little about Iwai Shunji.

In terms of age, it seems that I am one year younger than him, so I won't talk about this.From another point of view, Shunji Iwai should really engage in art.

Although there is no clear information to support it, it can be judged that Shunji Iwai's family background should be good. Otherwise, he would have film works during college, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

As for other things, Shunji Iwai's current situation should be in the dormant period. His works in college were complained by many film critics, and he entered Fuji TV in frustration.

Probably not until the small film called "Ghost Soup" came out that he was really taken seriously by Fuji TV.

"Ghost Soup" is actually an SP produced by Fuji TV for Christmas. The story is not too complicated, a little scary, but very interesting, and the ending is very heart-warming.

The heroine, Suzuki Lanlan, is very beautiful in this film.

It can be seen from this SP, many of Iwai's signature techniques, and he is really good at taking pictures of women.

After that, he began to fully demonstrate his artistic talents. Before the highly influential work "Love Letter", he made "Fireworks" and collaborated with Tomoko Yamaguchi in "The Bound of Love".

It does have something to do with the rope, but it's not that kind of thing.

However, Takeshi Iwata, a guy from a major, has heard a legend. This legend is still very interesting, and it has something to do with the works of Iwai University.

Well, find a chance to ask.

Takeshi Iwata made up his mind, before he could ask, Shunji Iwai had already said a lot on his own.

"I really like Director Iwata's work, I really like it very much, which is why this time is so abrupt... "That Summer, The Sea of ​​Tranquility", I was completely convinced by the director...

In fact, I have a bold guess, and I don't know if it is right.

That is to say, are all supervisory works depicting love?

It's love, right?Even if it is a gangster, the supervisor also wants to express love, right? "
