Chapter 1,144 Harming others without benefiting oneself(2/2)
But the difficulty lies in the fact that it’s hard to say whether Haruki Kōgawa’s promise is true or false. This guy is probably being two-faced and may regret it when the time comes.
Moreover, director Fukasaku Kinji also came forward to work for his mistress Michiko Harada, who was obviously their enemy.
The key is that when this woman shot this movie, she worked hard enough and didn't care about the scale at all.
Comparatively speaking, Matsumoto Keiko, who seems to have stopped taking movies, her performance in this movie is a bit watery and lacking in weight.
These are all variables that will have an important impact on the final selection results.
At least Ning Weimin knew that in the original history, Keiko Matsumoto lost to Michiko Harada and missed the Best Supporting Actress award.
Is that the result of her sacrificing herself again for art in the film?
Therefore, Ning Weimin did not dare to take this matter lightly.
He raised 200 million yen through the stock account of Keiko Matsumoto & Associates.
I plan to use a silver bullet offensive, hit them all without hesitation, and fertilize and give gifts everywhere.
I also said hello to the Tan Palace and reserved an exclusive private room for myself, specifically for entertaining guests and canvassing votes.
Think about it, for a film with a total investment of 500 million yen, he spent nearly half of the investment money to canvass votes for Keiko Matsumoto to win a second-tier award like Best Supporting Actress.
I believe that no one in the Japanese film industry can match this kind of work, and it should be considered a relatively big success.
Moreover, Ning Weimin is not only rich, he has his own restaurant where he can treat guests at any time. The most important and crucial thing is that he is also bad and sinister enough, and his heart is full of twists and turns.
When contacting those in the Japanese film industry, if they show the persistence and fairness of professionals, are not so enthusiastic about behind-the-scenes transactions, and are not too satisfied with Matsumoto Keiko's performance in "The Man on Fire".
He is not depressed, and returns gifts and greets guests, but his wishes are slightly changed and become second-rate requests.
That is, we don’t want Keiko Matsumoto to be elected, we just want Harada not to be elected.
He also spoke nicely, saying that he admired the other party's justice and impartiality, and felt ashamed of his own less than upright behavior.
But as far as he knew, Harada was also operating privately and doing the same thing.
Therefore, he believes that Michiko Harada is also not worthy of being elected, and he hopes to fulfill his obligation to remind the fairness of the Academy Awards.
It sounds like it's a bit harmful to others, but this move is really cruel.
Because as the saying goes, it's not easy to accomplish something, but it's very easy to ruin something.
For those judges who are pretentious and stick to their principles, this means that the price of accepting benefits has plummeted.
Anyway, Japanese morals are just that. If you don't like Matsumoto Keiko's performance, it doesn't mean you like Harada's.
There are so many candidates, but these judges are still happy to take advantage of them without affecting their "impartiality".
He is such a stubborn person that he insists on his own opinions. In fact, he would not agree to such a private meeting.
However, the only pity is that as the director of "The Man on Fire", Kinji Fukasaku is closely bound to the interests of Shochiku Pictures. It is completely unreasonable for him to win the Best Director Award at this year's Film Academy Awards.
The question is an established fact.
Ning Weimin understands this, so even if he wants to be a bad person, he can't stop him or change him.
I can only give him an advantage first, wait for the opportunity slowly, and then find the backend.
Chapter completed!
