Chapter 343 I'm going to adjust my mindset
🕑 Added 2025-05-25 14:56:59 +0000 UTC"Come on, you have no sense at all."
At an angle that the camera couldn't capture, Ori flicked Nanaya's neck with her hand.
"Well."
Nanaya chuckled twice.
Ori glanced at Nanaya, then he turned around and strode onto the stage.
At this time, the classic background music "Glory of the Knight King" from "Fate" sounded in the award ceremony hall.
Although it was a bit inappropriate to play this somewhat sad music at such a festive occasion, as a technical staff member, I had no character songs to play, so I could only choose this more iconic music - the background music for Medea's character played when Yoshinaga Yukari received the award.
Ori gently took the Japanese Oscar trophy from Shinobu Terajima - a cylindrical trophy that looked irregular in shape.
Ori smiled and gave his acceptance speech to the guests present: "Thank you, thank you to all the judges who voted for me. I love this film work, and I also like the studio team founded by my senior brother. It was he who gave me this opportunity to participate in this great project of "Fate."
"And then I also want to thank my family, my parents, and my... all the partners I work with."
Ori originally wanted to mention his sister, but considering that his mother would also watch TV, he stopped.
"Finally, everyone knows that I am currently working on a directorship. I hope that next time I can stand here as a director. Finally, thank you all again."
Below the stage, the Fate crew, led by Nanaya, applauded for Ori.
After Ori walked off the stage, Illya returned to the host's seat and made her own speech: "Ah, this is a very Ori-sister-like speech. Don't you think so, Master?"
"Yes." Taiga nodded, "After all, Ms. Ori is Nanaya-kun's girlfriend."
Illya immediately waved her hands and retorted: "Uh... there is no connection between the two! I don't admit that Sister Ori and Brother are in a relationship!"
Ever since the last "pure brother and sister" relationship, Illya began to call Nanaya "Brother" in public.
"Illya, what a fool." Iris held her forehead with one hand and said with a smile, "Isn't this just giving material to those tabloid reporters? Don't you think so?"
Iris originally thought that Kiritsugu would agree with her point of view, or at the very least would be very angry and say something like "I want that kid to die."
But Kiritsugu didn't hear what Illya said at this time. No, it should be said that he had ignored everything Illya said.
Because he had to appear on camera at the live ceremony, Kiritsugu had put foundation on his face, but even foundation couldn't hide his livid complexion.
You have to know that he had just sworn that "Fate" would not win this trophy, but the actual award result slapped him in the face.
This is not a good sign. The art design award is the one in which Fate has the least advantage among all the technical awards.
Because Nanaya's mixed style of modern and ancient Western styles was not liked by the Japanese judges.
In other words, the art design of Fate is too international, while other movies are more localized.
Given the xenophobic nature of the Japanese entertainment industry, this is the award that other films stand the greatest chance of winning.
What will happen next after losing this award?
Do we really want Fate to have a grand slam?
The two awards announced now both belong to Fate, which is a very bad signal.
However, as a director who has worked his way up from the bottom, Kiritsugu is still capable of adjusting his mentality.
After spending a full five minutes, Kiritsugu finally suppressed his restless mood.
"It doesn't matter. This is just a small and insignificant prize. It's a consolation prize given by the judges to Fate for his skills."
Kiritsugu seemed to be explaining, but also seemed to be hypnotizing himself.
Kiritsugu's mind is now full of one thought: as long as that brat (Nanaya) doesn't win the two heavyweight awards of Best Picture and Best Director, then he, Emiya Kiritsugu, will still be the winner, and Lin Bao will still be the ruler of the Japanese film industry.
As for Nanaya Kiryu, he is still a loser. He is still a little short of success in making a big splash in Japan, and I am still his father!
Now Kiritsugu could only imagine Nanaya's lost expression after the award ceremony because of losing two major awards, and comfort himself.
Only in this way will Kiritsugu feel better.
“We won!”
Compared to Kiritsugu who was in agony, there was a lot of jubilation on 2CH at this time.
Because the works of [Erque Studio] have always been more otaku-oriented, Nanaya has a group of die-hard supporters on 2ch.
Although they were annoyed by the fact that Nanaya thief liked to make fragments of the story, they still strongly supported this very approachable director.
Many people even posted fireworks in the form of characters on the message board to celebrate, as if they were the ones who won the lottery.
"Great! As expected of Master Ori!"
"Oh! Oh! See? This is my wife's strength!"
"Bullshit, Ori is obviously my wife!"
“Two awards in a row!”
"I'm sure you'll continue to win awards! I predict it!"
"Nonsense, Fate will sweep this year's Japanese Oscars! All the victory belongs to my king!"
Indeed, this is a carnival feast for fate fans.
After winning two awards in a row, Fate also won the technical awards for Best Original Score and Best Photography.
The background music of "Glory of the Knight King" was played several times in the Pamir International Pavilion of the Grand Prince Hotel in Shin-Takanawa tonight.
It can be said that the treatment of Fate at the Japanese Oscars tonight is really the same as this background music, which is the glory of the king.
The tables at the Fate crew's side burst into cheers one after another; they were undoubtedly the protagonists of the night.
The Japanese Oscar awards ceremony is now halfway through, and except for missing out on the Best Supporting Actor, Fate has won all the nominated awards.
"Brother Junichi, it's such a pity for you."
Sugiyama expressed regret to his cousin that the Best Supporting Actor award was given to Shinichi Tsutsumi from "Sanchome", which made him very disappointed.
Since Sugiyama himself didn't even get a nomination for an award, of course he himself knows that his acting skills are not up to par, so there's nothing much to say.
But when all the other Fate awards were won by others, this one by Junichi Ishida seemed a bit out of place.
"It's okay. As a newcomer, I can't compare with them."
Ishida is quite self-aware. He got this nomination just because of the popularity of his role, so he is thankful to get the certificate.
"It looks like we are in good form, and our winning rate is very high at the moment."
Nanaya leaned over to whisper in Shion's ear.
"It's just so-so, but of course I'm happy to win the award."
Shion felt her ears itchy, her face slightly blushed as she picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
"Isn't this great? The more awards we win, the easier it will be for Washimine Entertainment."
As a close partner of Shion, Nanaya certainly knew what ambitions this big boss had for this year's Oscars.
If successful, Washimine will not have to worry about not finding partners in the Japanese film market within the next five years.
The Japanese Oscars are different from those in North America. It is a game for big film studios. Rather than the awards themselves, what the awards represent is the control that the major film companies have over the Japanese film market.
The more Oscars a company wins in Japan, the more it proves its influence, and Japanese filmmakers will be willing to work with Washimine.
Especially when the conditions offered by Washimine were much better than those offered by Lin Bao.
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.
For filmmakers, the saying "whoever gives you milk is your mother" is absolutely true.
This is Shion's real purpose in wanting Fate to dominate the Japanese Oscars, and it is also what Kiritsugu has been trying to prevent.
And now, Shion is getting closer and closer to her goal of success.
After several awards were presented, the ceremony entered halftime.
In previous years, singers would be invited to sing a few songs to liven up the atmosphere.
However, this year there is Japan's most popular master-disciple manzai duo, so the scene was simply changed to Taiga performing a medley of famous songs in a deliberately out-of-tune voice, while Illya was responsible for making comments on the side.
"Go! go! go! let's go!~?"
Taiga on the stage was singing in a very funny tone.
"What the hell is that Master singing!" Illya complained loudly.
"Didn't I sing very well?" Taiga seemed completely unaware of himself.
"It's true that people who are out of tune never feel that they are out of tune." Illya shrugged helplessly, "Just like you, Master, never catch a cold."
"Are you calling me stupid?!"
Taiga shouted in dissatisfaction, waving his bamboo sword.
"It's a secret~"
Illya put her index finger on her lips and replied.
Iris, who was sitting below, was so amused that she kept laughing: "Haha~ I didn't expect Illya to have such a strong talent for comedy. This is much better than me."
"Is that so?"
Kiritsugu was obviously not in a good mood, and even his beloved daughter could not ease his mood.
But he still watched Illya's performance quietly, and only stood up after she and Taiga left the stage.
"Where are you going? Other awards are about to be announced?" Iris asked her husband who stood up.
"Just... adjust your mood."
Kiritsugu forced a smile and strode out of the hall door.
—————————————————————————
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Taiga, who was putting on makeup with Illya in the dressing room, heard a dull banging sound in the distance.
"Hey, Illya-chan." Taiga was curious, "Did you hear any strange noises?"
"Who knows?"
Illya replied in a nonchalant tone, "Maybe some idiot is banging his head against the wall."
