Chapter 342 You Are My Greatest Luck
🕑 Added 2025-05-24 14:18:57 +0000 UTCAfter hearing this name, Nanaya's first reaction was not happiness but surprise.
You have to know that as a group portrait drama, the possibility of "Fate" winning an acting award is extremely slim.
Those who understand will naturally understand the academic school’s attitude towards commercial films.
Back then, both "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings" were the most award-winning commercial films, and they still won big at the North American Academy Awards.
But even they still didn't win any acting awards. This shows how difficult it is for commercial films to gain recognition from the academic community.
It is conceivable how surprised Nanaya was when she heard that the person who won the award was Yoshinaga Yukari.
But as the surprise ended, Nanaya quickly stood up and hugged Yukari.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, director." Yukari still replied in that slow tone.
Yukari still looked as dazed as usual, but from her raised eyebrows, Nanaya could still feel her happiness.
"Kiritsugu you don't look too depressed?"
At the other corner of the award ceremony, Iris saw that her husband looked calm, and the expression on her face was even more surprised than when Nanaya knew that it was Yukari who won the award.
Kiritsugu clapped his hands politely. He said to Iris sadly, "It can't be helped. Sayuri Yoshinaga personally came out for this award. Even if she had to give up the Best Actress award this year, she still wanted her niece to win."
"I see."
Iris immediately understood what that person was planning.
You know, Sayuri Yoshinaga has won the Japanese Oscars three times, so even if she wins one less, it won't have any impact on her.
No one will question Sayuri Yoshinaga's status just because she did not win the Best Actress award this time.
In that case, why not give this opportunity to your niece?
From any perspective, Yoshinaga Yukari needs this award more than Yoshinaga Sayuri.
Just as Yoshihiro Ogata, winner of the 36th Japanese Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, joked later.
"Because of this award, my life has become much more comfortable in the future."
This is why so many actors are eager to win awards. It is not just a matter of honor, but more about getting more resources.
The Japanese Oscars, the only film awards ceremony broadcast on national television, is currently being broadcast throughout Japan.
Especially this lottery event, which made all the audience look forward to the winning results.
As a loyal fan of Fate, Kiritani has been following the situation of the Japanese Oscars.
As usual, he did not choose to stay at home but ran to his girlfriend Asuna's house to watch the award ceremony live.
Yes, Kazutani has recently started dating Asuna. Although as a couple they have only held hands at most, they are undoubtedly dating.
“I didn’t expect Medea to win the Best Supporting Actress award.”
While watching TV, Kazutani shared the progress of the award ceremony with his good friend Shiori Kaede.
"Of course! After all, it's fate. No, it should be said that this is the result of Washimine's hard work."
Unlike Kazutani who can be affectionate with his girlfriend, Shiori Kaede, a otaku who is destined to be single for life, is now staying in his room.
He had his computer and TV on at the same time, watching the ceremony live on TV while discussing the results of the award ceremony with others on 2CH.
This was Shiori Kaede's situation 5 minutes ago. Now he has to synchronize one more thing - calling Kazutani on his mobile phone.
“When will [See Moon] be able to broadcast live at the same time?” Shiori Kaede complained to Kazuya, “I have to look at two screens now, and it’s really annoying to keep turning my head.”
"I guess that's unlikely. After all, the TV stations are all old-fashioned people who don't even want to broadcast new shows at the same time."
Kiritani didn't have any hope for this at all. You know, all the anime on [See Moon] are old series that have been completed long ago. There are no new series at all. Either they are perennial series like "One Piece" and "Naruto", which only have very old episodes.
This is not only true for animation, but also for Japanese dramas.
The ideas of those animation copyright companies are still stuck in the old way of thinking - using video websites to attract people, and then letting these people watch TV to increase ratings.
Washimine felt very distressed about these antiques, but he could do nothing about it.
After seeing Yoshinaga Yukari had finished her acceptance speech and returned to her seat, Kiritani asked curiously, "What's the next award?"
Hearing his friend's question, Shiori Kaede glanced at the program schedule and replied, "Best Art! This is the first technical award, and if nothing goes wrong it should also go to Fate!"
"That's true. After all, other movies don't have the grandeur of Fate."
Kazuya nodded and replied.
Kaede Shiori thought about it, recalled the films nominated for this award, and nodded in agreement with Kazutani's opinion.
As a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, all the standards of Fate are top-notch in Hollywood. Compared with other Japanese movies, those works are like performing on the stage and are not on the same level at all.
Because the gap is so obvious, if this award does not go to Fate, the most basic fairness of the Japanese Oscars will be questioned.
Although everyone in the industry knows that the fairness of the Japanese Oscars has always been bullshit, outsiders feel that the Big Four should still have some shame despite their all-powerful power.
On the TV screen, award presenter Shinobu Terajima walked onto the stage and announced the first technical award of this year's Japanese Oscars.
At the ceremony, Iris asked her husband, "Kiritsugu, which movie do you think will win this award?"
"Sanchome!"
Kiritsugu answered without hesitation, as if he could decide who would receive the award.
Iris's eyebrows twitched: "Really?"
"Of course." Kiritsugu added, "San Chome uses more traditional sets, which is a continuation of film art. But what about Fate? Most of its shots are green screen special effects!"
"So?"
"So no matter from which perspective, the former is more qualified to receive this award than the latter!"
Kiritsugu clenched his fists tightly, as if he really believed it.
"I hope so."
Iris's answer was a bit perfunctory. Although she didn't know the result, Kiritsugu looked so confident that it seemed like he was setting a goal.
Shinobu Terajima on the stage had already started delivering her award speech, and Iris could only keep silent.
"Art is the foundation of a film's style. Whether your film is modern or Ukiyo-e, it has a strong relationship with its art design. Whether it is a northern country with snow and wind, or a car repair shop full of the ups and downs of life, or a modern battlefield where ancient heroes gallop..."
After the routine introduction, Shinobu Terajima and the big screen announced the list of nominees simultaneously - Kamijo Asato from "Sanchome", Ryougi Ori from "Fate", Yamaguchi Osamu from "Spring Snow", Kyoko Batani from "North Year Zero" and Sakuragi Akira from "Cicada Shigure".
When the nomination list was read out, the atmosphere at the table where the Fate crew was sitting froze.
Not only the nominated Ryougi Ori, but everyone else also started to get nervous.
The reason why Yukari was able to win the award before was more due to the efforts of her aunt, and no one could deny face to Sayuri Yoshinaga.
But now is the real beginning of the war between Washimine and Lin Bao.
If the Fate movie is a huge success, it will not only be a glory for the entire crew, but also a recognition of everyone's work over the past two years.
"Actually, I shouldn't be the one nominated, right? I mainly do art design."
Ori said a little nervously.
"I can't help it. You are not suitable for any of the other technical awards, so I can only sign you up for this one."
Nanaya said this seemingly in a relaxed tone. In order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the drink in the cup and took a sip.
"It won't win any prize! It won't win any prize!..."
Under the stage, Kiritsugu clasped his hands together, his eyes fixed on Shinobu Terajima standing on the stage, his sharp eyes seemed to shoot through her.
Kiritsugu kept repeating the same sentence like a curse.
“It will never win an award!”
Thinking of the various efforts he had made during this period of time, Kiritsugu felt a little panic in his heart, but at the same time he was full of confidence.
Thinking of the Japanese Oscar judges such as Yuki Amami whom he had asked for help, and Lin Bao's strong influence in the Japan Academy Awards Association and the Japanese Oscars.
It shouldn't be called dominance, Kiritsugu believes that he can completely influence who gets the award!
If it were any other time, when Iris heard Kiritsugu mumbling about his old lover, she would definitely kick Kiritsugu off the bed first, and then punish him by making him kneel on the washboard for three days and three nights.
But now seeing Kiritsugu looking like he was possessed, she pretended not to have seen anything.
On the stage, Shinobu Terajima opened the award-winning envelope and she first looked down.
Unlike the last Odagiri Joe, she didn't keep anyone in suspense and said straightforwardly, "The winner of the Japanese Oscar is... "Fate", Ryougi Ori!"
"Wow! Ori, you win!"
Ryougi Shiki was the first to stand up and applaud in support of her brother.
Nanaya also stood up and gave his blessing to his junior fellow apprentice.
Then other members of the Fate crew also sent their blessings to Ori.
However, compared to others, Ori himself seemed very calm. He first hugged the crew members.
Finally he walked to Nanaya's side.
Nanaya opened her arms and gave Ori a deep hug.
"Thank you, Senior." He whispered. "It is my greatest luck to be your junior fellow apprentice."
"Haha, I'm also very happy to have a capable junior brother like you."
Nanaya was also very happy. He was capable, hardworking and had a beautiful sister. Who wouldn’t like such a junior brother?
Anyway, Nanaya likes it himself.
