Capítulo 62: Chapter 62 Before the New Year
Although "Kara no Kyoukai" won the Best Actress trophy at the Hochi Film Awards, its performance in the following awards was not outstanding.
Among them, "Kara no Kyoukai" was completely defeated in the [Nikkan Sports Film Awards], and in the nominations for the subsequent Japanese veteran film award [Mainichi Film Awards], "Kara no Kyoukai" only received three nominations for Best Screenplay, Best Film and Best New Actress.
Nanaya didn't really care about the result of the Nikkan Sports Film Awards, after all, this award wasn't very influential.
However, Nanaya felt very sorry for being nominated for the Mainichi Film Awards. This film award was established in 1946 and hosted by the Mainichi Shimbun and Sports Japan. It is a very prestigious award in Japanese film awards in terms of both status and time.
The Mainichi Film Awards is different from other sports newspaper awards in that it undergoes very careful screening every year. In the minds of Japanese filmmakers, the status of this award is even no less than that of the Japan Film Junpo Awards.
It is a pity that "Kara no Kyoukai" only got 3 nominations for such an important award, and what makes Nanaya even more sad is that the probability of winning the three awards of Best Screenplay and Best Picture among the two nominations is almost zero.
Even Nanaya himself would not give the Best Screenplay award to himself. The reason is very simple. At the beginning of this year, a movie called "The Rain Stopped" was released, and the screenwriter of this work was Akira Kurosawa.
Akira Kurosawa is the benchmark and flag of Japanese films, and his influence in the world is unparalleled. Nanaya does not think that he has reached the level of being comparable to this big man who can leave his name in film history.
In addition, "The Rain Stopped" is the first work written by the master since his death in 1998. It can be said that the screenwriter award is basically certain.
Nanaya believes that no matter which award is given this year, the screenwriter award will basically be won by "The Rain Stops", and all the nominated screenwriters, including him, will be convinced by this result.
As for the Best Picture award, it is even more unlikely, because Yan (translated as The End of the World in China), a film about a middle-aged woman's escape, can be said to have won the favor of all the academic judges this year. The only box office performance of Kara no Kyoukai is still a little lacking in the eyes of those academic elders.
According to the current information, Nanaya can be sure that from Best Director, Best Picture to Best Actress, basically all the academic film awards will be given to this movie. He, a guy who makes commercial films, can now take a break.
She could strive for the Best New Actress award, but the Newcomer Award is more about "encouragement" and "potential", and is not at the same level as the Best Actress award, which carries a sense of affirmation.
The reason why Ori was able to win the Best Actress Award at the Hochi Film Awards was because the Hochi Film Awards had audience participation and a stronger commercial flavor. When it comes to these academic awards, the high box office of Kara no Kyoukai is not an advantage, but rather a burden.
"As expected, no matter how little you care, you will still feel disappointed when the results are announced."
Nanaya threw aside the "Daily Film" newspaper that announced the results. He had been reading this newspaper for a long time, which was published more than a week ago, and some signs of damage could be seen on it.
"Before I became a director, I always thought that awards were not important, as long as the movie had high box office, it would be fine. But when I really applied for awards, I still hoped that I could win."
Rin, who was rummaging around in the corner of the studio, heard Nanaya's sigh and said jokingly, "Ah, so our director is here to whine like a loser on New Year's Day?"
Because there are not many people in the studio, there are many empty seats. In order to bring more popularity to the studio, Nanaya arranged a seat for each of the four heroines of "Magical Illya".
Illya and Yumi, the two little girls, didn't mind, after all, they basically didn't have anything to put here. But Rin and Luvia, the two older girls, were very excited, after all, the single dormitory they lived in was too small and had long been filled with miscellaneous items.
So from the first day Nanaya announced that he had reserved positions for them, the two young ladies often put some unwanted things in the studio, as if they were using it as a storage room.
Nanaya couldn't help but frown at the teasing tone of her junior schoolmate: "Hey, Junior Schoolmate Tohsaka, pay attention to your image as a young lady."
"Hasn't my image been almost ruined by you? At the last handshake event, fans told me to hit Luvia in the crotch with a tiger punch next time we quarrel. Really, what kind of image do I have in their minds? Am I such a fierce person?" Rin's voice was a little distressed.
[But I saw that you used it quite well last time when you had a fight with Luvia, didn't you? ]
"Hehe."
Nanaya glanced away, and when he thought of the last time Rin and Luvia had quarreled, when Rin really punched Luvia between the legs and knocked her three feet off the ground, his lower body trembled.
"So, if you want to film with me next time, it would be better to separate me and Luvia. Ah, I finally found it."
Rin found a small box wrapped in pink printed paper from the cupboard.
"I almost forgot the gift I wanted to give to Elle." Rin stuffed the box into her suitcase. "If I really left it in Tokyo, I would be guilty. That girl would never let me go."
"I've been wanting to ask this before, why do your sister and you have two different styles of names?" Nanaya, who was flipping through other newspapers, asked curiously.
Rin tapped her chin with her hand and recalled, "Well, originally my father seemed to be planning to give Elle another name, but when we were born, we found that Elle's hair color was the same golden color as grandma. Grandma, who was still alive at the time, seemed to think this was a good omen, so she decided to change Elle's name to a Western name. But that child doesn't look like me at all, she is just a literary girl who reads books all day long."
Although Rin complained, Nanaya still saw the smile on her face. She was about to meet her family whom she had not seen for a long time, and this school girl must be very happy.
"So what are you going to give your sister? Books?"
"No, that's not the case. That kid wanted to be a screenwriter, so I bought her a pen. I remember before we went to Beijing, that kid said that when she became a real screenwriter, she would let me act in her script."
"It sounds like you sisters have a good relationship." Nanaya was a little envious. Due to his family's conditions, he was an only child and had no brothers or sisters.
"Of course."
Lin straightened her A cup, the relationship with her sister has always been her proudest point.
"Oh no, I have to go. Director, see you next century. You should go back home early too~" Rin raised her head and saw the clock on the wall. She immediately realized that it was already late, so she waved goodbye to Nanaya in a hurry and rushed out of the office.
Nanaya shook his head helplessly: "Humph, you look so anxious all day long, and you don't even know how to be elegant."
When Rin left, Nanaya was the only one left in the huge office. Everyone else had gone home long ago. After all, this was the once-a-year New Year, and this time must be spent with family.
Even Luvia flew back to Northern Europe two days ago, and the others also left Tokyo and returned to their hometowns one after another in the past few days.
In the quiet office, Nanaya looked up at the ceiling, feeling somewhat lonely.
"Go home..."
Nanaya had thought about going back to his hometown for the Spring Festival this year. After all, he had been working hard in Tokyo in the past few years and had no time to go back. This year, he had finally achieved success in his career and it was reasonable for him to return home, but in the end, Nanaya had to give up the idea.
Of course, this was not Nanaya's own idea, but the idea of the two elders.
When Nanaya was talking to his mother in his hometown on the phone before, when he expressed his desire to go home, his mother directly told him not to come back this year.
The village where Nanaya came from was not rich, it was poor. Nanaya was one of the few people in the village who had gone out and established himself in Tokyo, so he naturally attracted the attention of the whole village.
But not all this attention is a good thing.
Especially after Nanaya's movie sold well at the box office this year, everyone thought that Nanaya's family had made a fortune. There were a lot of offers to borrow money through connections, but in the end, Nanaya's parents rejected all of them on the grounds that someone did not return home.
Mrs. Kiryu knew that it was not easy for Nanaya to live and work in Tokyo, and she didn't want Nanaya to be bothered by such messy things when he rarely returned home, so she simply told Nanaya not to come back.
"It looks like I'll be spending the New Year alone in Tokyo again this year. How about I treat myself to something good later?" Nanaya stretched and prepared to leave the studio.
As a result, when Nanaya opened the door, he saw Orizheng standing outside, and judging from his gestures, he seemed to be about to knock on the door. Nanaya's sudden move from inside scared him, and his hand stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
"Ori? What? Did you forget to bring something like Tohsaka? Why are you all acting like this?"
"Senior? You haven't left yet?" When Ori saw that it was Nanaya who opened the door, his eyes lit up.
"I'm not leaving. I'll spend the New Year in Tokyo as usual this year." Nanaya scratched his messy hair and said, "I'm used to it anyway."
Ori looked at Nanaya, and seemed to be struggling with something.
"What's wrong?"
Nanaya felt very strange about Ori's hesitant look. He had no idea what his junior was up to.
Ori suddenly grabbed Nanaya's shoulders and said loudly: "Um, senior. Please come home with me!"
"Pardon?!"
PENSAMENTOS DOS CRIADORES 
Onigiri
Onigiri pS: There are few film awards with a strong commercial flavor in Japan. In fact, this is also related to the downturn in Japanese live-action films. In fact, at the beginning, the various film awards in Japan were still very shy, and they were quite cautious about awards such as animation. But when the only movies they could show off were animations, these people completely lay down and let you take advantage of them. Since you can't resist, why can't you enjoy it? Anyway, after picking and choosing, only animations can be shown off. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
