Tokyo Bubble Life - Chapter 359

It was the day of the award ceremony, and in the afternoon, Isao Morikawa arrived at the Millennium Hotel in a special car, while Naoki Naoki was already waiting in the hotel lobby.

“Morikawa-san, it’s already here~” Naoki Naoyama put down the newspaper, “The location is at the Los Angeles Music Center, right?”

“Hi, it only takes about 20 minutes to get there.” Isao Morikawa, who was dressed in black, black trousers, suits and leather shoes, looked at Naoki Nagayama, who was wearing a light blue casual suit, white T-shirt and black slim pants, a little surprised, “Naoki-san is going to wear this go?”

“Ah, yes, what’s the matter?” Naoki Naoyama looked around. This is a custom-made suit by Burberry, and it is said to be this year’s popular color.

“It looks like a star!”

Wearing a light blue suit, Naoki Naoyama is handsome and has a touch of casualness, which is very eye-catching.

Isao Morikawa is a guy who believes in the tradition of men in black behind the scenes of the older generation. In his eyes, as producers, directors, and screenwriters, behind-the-scenes laborers should keep a low profile and keep a low profile.

However, I quickly realized that the young man in front of me was not only a behind-the-scenes artist, but also a front-stage artist.

“Pairs well with Naoki-san.”

“Haha~ Morikawa-san was joking~” Being praised as handsome by an old man is a bit weird, but it is still praised~

“By the way, isn’t Haruki-san going with us?”

Isao Morikawa shook his head: “The president and acquaintances in the film industry go in first, and I will lead Naoki-san.”

The two went to the Los Angeles Music Center in a car. Looking at the more and more artistic buildings on the road, Naoki Yongshan lamented the cultural center of Los Angeles.

Soon, the car arrived at the front door of the Los Angeles Music Center. Although it was still early, there were already waiting reporters waiting on both sides of the red carpet, but it was three o’clock in the afternoon when the real big names came. There are also security guards at the scene to maintain order.

“Are we going to walk the red carpet too?” Yongshan Naoki asked curiously.

“Of course, Naoki-san, we are the nominees!” Said Morikawa, but after getting out of the car, he took Yongshan Naoki to the aisle close to the ordinary audience on the red carpet, bowing his head and quickly approaching the audience. He rushed forward, and even Naoki Naoyama was led by him to speed up the pace.

This was in the United States during the Showa period. Naturally, not many reporters paid attention to Asian faces, and the audience next to them just thought that there was a handsome Asian boy walking past.

However, there were still some Japanese reporters with sharp eyes, who directly pressed the shutter.

“That is Naoki Nagayama!” One of the reporters said to the companion next to him, “He actually came over.”

“Of course, “The Tale of Hachiko” has been nominated for the best film!” The companion next to him was still clicking the shutter. As film and television reporters stationed abroad, the two of them were still very concerned about their own film that had finally been shortlisted. of.

“Anyway, there will be news in domestic newspapers tomorrow!” The reporter smiled. Although photos cannot be sent back to Japan directly, there are already high-definition color fax machines these days, so it is no problem to send a photo back.

When I walked into the awards ceremony, only some people were present in the empty hall.

Isao Morikawa led Naoki Nagayama to the fifth row of seats, but he didn’t see Haruki Kadokawa.

“Morikawa-san, why haven’t you seen Haruki-san?”

Isao Morikawa seems to have thought of something: “Maybe the president and his friends are chatting somewhere else~”

In fact, what he thought was that maybe the president of his family was impatient to wait, and maybe he would wait until the award ceremony, or the party after the ceremony, after all, it was a social occasion at that time, and one would have to wait for 4 or 5 hours The award ceremony was too long.

Naoki Naoyama somehow feels that he is an honest boy~

The long waiting time was very boring. Naoki Naoyama and Isao Morikawa chatted one after another to pass the time, but as time went by, the venue became more and more popular, and Naoki Naoyama was able to pass the time One more way to go. He looks at the stars of the ’80s and starts looking for people he recognizes.

Hey, that hard-core handsome guy is very familiar-Christopher Reeve, it turns out to be the most classic “Sunshine Superman” actor!

Yoho, this guy with a fierce face is also very impressive-a generation of dance king John Travolta, in Quentin’s pulp novels, the guy who danced with the heroine, contributed to the history of film The most classic segment!

Wait, this domineering lady who just came in—Sigourney Weaver, the heroine in “Alien”!

There are also a lot of familiar stars, but Naoki Naoki can’t name them, all came to the venue one by one, making the long waiting time less difficult.

Finally, when the actual awards ceremony started, it was already 5 pm. With the opening of the hosts, the 55th Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

In fact, the Oscar awards ceremony is similar to the Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony, except that the host interacts a little more with the stars off the field. In the United States, which advocates humor, all kinds of jokes with stars are much more open than in Japan. The entire awards ceremony The atmosphere of the ceremony was very active.

But this time, no celebrity rushed to the stage to slap the host~

Naoki Naoyama listened to the eloquent speeches on stage, this year’s Oscars is definitely the home of “Gandhi” and “ET”, these two films have won almost all the awards, eclipsing other films.

Naoki Naoyama, who had been waiting for almost 3 hours, couldn’t sit still any longer. Taking advantage of the stage transition, he also got up and wanted to relax.

“Morikawa-san, I’m going to the bathroom~ together?”

Naoki Naoyama sent an invitation to release water together, but the patient Morikawa Isao did not agree,

“Naoki-san, please go ahead, I am here waiting for the president”

The president of your family will not come! At this time, maybe I’m happy with that big guy in the circle in the club~

Naoki Naoyama came to the backstage of the Los Angeles Music Center while complaining, followed the directions to find the bathroom,

But after using it, I didn’t go back to the venue.

Naoki Naoyama walked slowly along the corridor to the second floor, wanting to breathe some fresh air and stretch himself.

Unexpectedly, after many turns and turns, he found that Oscar’s staff had disappeared. He walked to an exposed covered bridge, and he could actually see the night view of Los Angeles.

Naoki Naoyama gave a lazy waist, then put his hands on the railing and looked at the scenery until:

“What are you looking at?”

A hoarse but soft voice came from the next column, like the sea breeze blowing on the gravel at night,

It turns out that there is actually a person hidden behind the cylinder!

Naoki Yongshan was taken aback, quickly stepped back two steps to the side, and looked at the column: “Who? Who is hiding there!”

A red dot appeared first, then a slender arm holding a cigarette, and then a black pleated skirt. When the man walked to a bright place, a tall blond European beauty appeared in front of him, with a deep The eyes are full of affection, the bridge of the nose is upturned and playful, and the lips are full and smiling. Innocence and sexiness are intertwined on this face, highlighting a strong style.

At this time, Naoki Yongshan realized that the familiar beauty in front of him was the award presenter on the previous stage, but he forgot her name.

“Sorry, you are.”

“Natasha Kinski, don’t you know me?”

Known as the “No. 1 Beauty in European Movies” in the 1980s, the German-born female star became a hit in “Tess” two years ago and won several awards. Now she is a well-known actress in the European film industry. cast.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize it for a while, but I remember it now.” Naoki Naoyama really didn’t know him, and he had seen relatively few early European movies. “No one will forget after seeing me.”

Natasha Kinski was used to being complimented by men, and she didn’t show any shyness. Instead, she stood gracefully at the place Naoki Nagayama had just overlooked: “What were you looking at just now?”

“It’s just an ordinary night scene.” Naoki Naoyama relaxed and returned to his original posture, holding on to the railing again, “It’s too noisy in the venue, so come and relax, how about you?”

“The venue is too noisy, so come and relax~” The blonde beauty said the same words, with a lazy, rustling voice, which may be called a smoky voice in later generations.

Natasha Kinski took a puff of a lady’s cigarette, looked at the rare handsome Asian guy next to him, and became a little interested, “Are you Japanese?”

“Yes~”

“What do you do at the Oscars?”

“Hmmm” How come it seems to be interrogating, “There is a movie that was shortlisted for an award.”

“Oh? There is a movie, is it “The Tale of Hachiko”?” The blond beauty became more interested, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that Japanese movie that was more difficult to pronounce.

“Yes~”

Yongshan Naoki felt that the way of asking and answering was really stupid, but the beauty next to her was really strong, so he could only answer it temporarily.

“I remember that there is no role like you in the film?” As the award presenter, Sister Blonde Yu has seen all the shortlisted films, and she is more interested in this young handsome guy. “Are you the producer? Or the screenwriter? Can’t be Director?”

“It’s all. My name is Naoki Nagayama.” Finally introduced the name, “In this film, I am the producer and screenwriter.”

“Ah~ I remembered! That’s right, this name is on the list! Hahaha~”

I feel that this blond-haired lady suddenly became enthusiastic, maybe as an actress, she will bring a special halo when watching the producer, screenwriter and director~

“Miss Kinski, aren’t you an award presenter?”

“The award I’m about to present is over! That’s why I can come out to breathe now.” The blond-haired Yujie looked at Naoki Yongshan, as if thinking of something, “Yongshan ~ Naoki you.”

“Just call me William~” It is really difficult for foreigners to pronounce Japanese names~

“Okay, William, your best film award should be coming soon, why don’t you pay attention?”

“Anyway, there is no chance. The best film of this year must be selected from “Gandhi” and “ET”. ”

“Haha, good choice! It’s been decided in secret~” Natasha Kinski said with a mocking tone, “So are you going to the dinner party next?”

“I shouldn’t go, it’s a purely social place, it’s very troublesome~” Naoki Yongshan shook his head directly, and sighed, “In Los Angeles, there are no people I know.”

Natasha Kinski looked at the somewhat melancholy face under the night sky, and suddenly felt the same feeling of loneliness when she was young and rebellious: “Who said, didn’t you know me?”

“?” Naoki Yongshan looked at the blond Yujie, and we just said a few words

“William, don’t look so depressed. There is a very good club nearby. My friends and I are going to go to Happy together after we finish!”

Natasha Kinski played with the enthusiasm unique to Europeans and Americans, “You too come together!”

“.?”

Within five minutes of meeting, the blond Yujie invited me to go to a nightclub?

Are you sure you are not greedy for my beauty?

In the venue, Haruki Kadokawa finally returned to his seat when the Best Picture Award was about to be awarded, but found that only his subordinates were here,

“Morikawa, where is Naoki Nagayama?”

Morikawa Isao said honestly: “Naoki-san went to the bathroom, and I don’t know what happened, but I haven’t come back.”

“This guy, doesn’t he even pay attention to our movies? Really.”

While the count was falling, a figure came to the seat and sat down, “Chun Shusang, you are here.”

“Hi, I’ve been talking to friends in the industry.”

Haruki Kadokawa was a little embarrassed. He was talking about others just now, but he found Naoki Nagayama a little absent-minded.

“Where did Naoki-san go?”

“I am also communicating with friends in the industry~”

The atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward. Fortunately, the host’s commentary broke the atmosphere,

“The films shortlisted for the best picture today are “Gandhi”, “E.T. Alien”, “The Great Disappearance”, “Mr. Douce”, “The Tale of Hachiko””

The big screen on the stage released the clips of five movies, allowing everyone to appreciate several masterpieces again, and then asked Carol Bonet to present the best movie award.

“Congratulations to the winner of the Academy Award for Best Film – Gandhi!”

“Tch, it really is this one.” Haruki Kadokawa said next to him, “Columbia spent at least $1 million in lobbying PR companies!”

“Sure enough, it was all decided early!” Naoki Naoyama nodded, “Plus political correctness~”

Seeing this unsurprising result, Kadokawa Haruki has no interest in staying any longer.

“Naoki-san, do you want to attend the dinner party?” He said to Naoki Yongshan, “Or come with me to the investor’s celebration party? But I want to remind you that the party was all old men bragging each other, it is necessary , but very boring.”

“Ah, Arigado.” Naoki Yongshan declined, “Actually, I have already made an appointment with someone.”

“Well, it seems that Naoki-san really has a lot of friends~”

Haruki Kadokawa laughed, this young junior also said the same thing the day before yesterday~

“Then I wish you a good time, Morikawa, I’m going to take it away~”

“Hi~”
