Tokyo Literature and Art Times

All kinds of good reviews are overwhelming.

However, there is still no trace of Takeshi Iwata.

This made many media people very anxious to get angry.

However, two months later, a big news appeared.

This news made TV Tokyo stop broadcasting cartoons.

A generation of film master Akira Kurosawa.

On September 9, passed away.

He was 88 years old.

Although he died at home, almost all Japanese media reported it immediately.

Even TV stations in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan also broadcast the news.

According to Japanese rules, the funeral must wait at least a day.

A character like Akira Kurosawa is naturally more grand.

There are also many well-known figures who came to express their condolences.

Among them are well-known overseas directors.

Coppola and Spielberg both said they would come, along with an old friend.

Martin Scorsese.

In Kurosawa's last film "Dream".

Scorsese plays Van Gogh inside, traveling among his own paintings.

But, originally he had something to do.

But with the help of Takeshi Iwata, it was possible to come over.

The funeral of this Japanese film master naturally enjoyed top treatment.

The emperor also issued an imperial edict, posthumously conferring many honors.

The level of the funeral has risen, so many things are naturally very complicated.

Takeshi Iwata couldn't help at all, and he really wasn't needed.

However, for this funeral, he had to show up.

As a famous supervisor, as the person entrusted with important tasks by Akira Kurosawa.

Even if Takeshi Iwata did nothing, he still had to stay here.

Wait until the real farewell ceremony begins.

The outside is already full of people.

The funeral arrangement this time was very advanced.

The whole is just a bamboo wall, without any extra decoration.

If there is, it is a huge TV wall.

This shows a huge portrait of Akira Kurosawa-sensei.

Everyone who can enter the scene of the farewell ceremony and bow.

Those are not idlers.

All filmmakers in the Japanese entertainment industry, as long as they have something to do with movies, and those who are important enough, can appear in the front row.

Takeshi Iwata looked around and saw that he was the youngest one.

Great directors from Europe and the United States immediately became solemn when they saw this posture.

Let's say that.

In the global film circle, Akira Kurosawa really has too many fans.

Moreover, many fans are well-known directors.

Or put it another way.

Only these great directors can better understand the charm of Akira Kurosawa's lens.

They can better understand the master's pioneering mirror movement technique and unique lens language.

Even some famous directors are more shy.

Just like Zhang Yimou, he once mentioned it.

Once again, he met Akira Kurosawa on an occasion, but because he was really shy, Zhang Yimou didn't dare to talk to his idol.

From now on, he will not have such an opportunity.

It's one of life's great hates.

In fact, a person's life.

It's really hard to say.

Just like Zhang Yimou in the past, he was just Director Chen's photographer.

No one would have thought that he would achieve what he is today.

The same is probably true of Akira Kurosawa. He may not have imagined that after he left, an era of Japanese movies came to an end.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I didn't think about anything."

Mr. Nakadai Tatsuya sat beside Takeshi Iwata, and he felt that this little friend seemed to have a special mind.

Takeshi Iwata actually didn't know what he should think.

He felt that it was difficult for him to meet the expectations of Mr. Kurosawa.

After all, this change of the times cannot be changed by him alone.

Nakadai Tatsuya couldn't say much, and he didn't understand Takeshi Iwata's mind.

The entire funeral process was very long.

If you count off-site people, there are more than 3 people just saying goodbye.

But fortunately, at night, the whole ceremony was completed.

"Come on, let's go together."

"it is good."

I promised before that I would help the old man carry the pavilion.

Under the guidance of Tatsuya Nakadai, Takeshi Iwata, along with several other Japanese film celebrities, sent the film master to his last journey.

This ceremony is very brief, and even, many funerals do not have this at all.

But right now, this symbolic meaning is what many people want to see.

Naturally, the reporters present frantically pressed the shutter.

They absolutely couldn't let this historic footage slip through their fingertips.

Iwata Takeshi watched the flames rise.

There are many, many thoughts in my mind.

What have you changed?

It seems that, apart from myself, I really haven't done much.

But... wait a minute.

Originally, Mr. Akira Kurosawa probably didn't read "Summer of Kikujiro".

In the original world, he did not see this film.

This really changed because of my own appearance.

Well, something like that...

Inexplicably, the sadness in Takeshi Iwata's heart faded a lot.

A lot of hope sprouted in his heart again.

I, Takeshi Iwata, is still here, and I will continue to walk my own path.

This is the meaning of my life, my magic moment, and it will continue.

Thinking of this, I can't help but recall the old man's laughter.

That was a hearty smile.

Chapter 547 Open 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 has passed away, and the impact of this incident has not disappeared.

Iwata Takeshi also lacked skills in various interviews.

However, Takeshi Iwata had to answer Jiang Wen's call.

Unexpectedly, he gave himself a surprise.

Iwata Takeshi even wanted to say, you Jiang Wen explain to me what her mother's surprise is.

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

"Let me tell you, our movie is "The Devil Is Coming", haha! It's over the trial!"

"Really?"

"Really, of course it is!"

"That's great! Hurry up and start showing it!"

"That's natural, but, all in all, should we try our luck at a film festival?"

"Your ambition is not small!"

"Ha ha……"

It 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 ambition?

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

Probably the one in 2000.

But right now, there is Takeshi Iwata.

But to be honest, Takeshi Iwata still felt a little unsure.

Although, he has made a lot of efforts before, hoping that the film can pass the censorship.

Can it really be that smooth?

Could it be that 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 the "Apple".

Yes, this movie is relatively new.
