Shimatani's statement is quite reliable, after all, it will still be a few days until Cannes makes the official announcement.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is almost certain.

If it wasn't Takeshi Iwata's movie, who else could it be?

As for this result, Takeshi Iwata had actually expected it early on.

Even if there are no other factors, "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" alone is at least enough to get him nominated for Cannes.

Although the original version of this movie did not win any awards, this is because the movie itself was not designed to win awards, but Luc Besson was trying to obtain sufficient funds to shoot "The Fifth Element".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now, Takeshi Iwata has taken it directly. It is just in time for the Cannes Film Festival, so it is a natural thing to be shortlisted.

The original film received very high reviews internationally, so Takesai Iwata was confident and told everyone in advance that this film would definitely go to Cannes.

He set up a flag, but the flag did not fall.

Plan pass.

So, it’s just a matter of this movie going to Cannes?

"In addition, Thierry and Mr. Marco are very interested in several of the films they supervise."

"Of course there is no problem."

"However, it will be difficult to release it, probably to enter the video tape market."

"I understand this."

The two talked about business cooperation issues.

To be honest, the previous works could only enter the video tape market, after all, that was before.

To be honest, it is actually very difficult for an Asian film to develop into the European and American markets.

Even though Japan has done quite well in this regard, cultural barriers are really difficult to overcome.

In fact, what Takeshi Iwata knows is that as Asia moves toward the world, action films are the first to open up the world as far as movies are concerned.

Hong Kong martial arts action movie!

Japan is indeed worse in this regard. Sword and Halberd films were once all the rage, especially those of Akira Kurosawa, but now, they have really declined a lot.

Can Takeshi Iwata carry the banner?

"Director Iwata, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has determined that Director Iwata is the standard bearer of Japanese new wave films!"

"ah?"

When Takeshi Iwata heard this statement, he was completely stunned.

Isn’t the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology too good at bragging?

Now you start blowing me Iwata Takeshi?

That's fine, it's good for me, so you can brag vigorously to me.

Unexpectedly, Shitaya said something not very good next.

"Well, regarding the sequel..."

Takeshi Iwata interrupted Shitani directly and said: "It won't be "Mu Jian", right?"

When Shitaya heard this, an awkward smile appeared on his face, "Of course not, but..."

But at this moment, someone knocked on the door of Shitani's office.

"What's up?"

"It's time for the meeting."

Shitani was a little embarrassed by the assistant's reminder, but in the following meeting, he also had a very close relationship with Takeshi Iwata.

…

In the conference room, someone has already arrived in advance.

"The movie "Infernal Affairs: New World" has achieved great success! I really appreciate the efforts of Director Iwata!"

This guy Yamauchi was speaking seriously.

President Matsuoka had a smile on his face and looked over at Takeshi Iwata from time to time.

Shimatani looked serious, he was really worried.

In fact, I have already told Takeshi Iwata before, but how should we deal with this situation?

I heard that Yamauchi finally finished talking about the meaningless and fancy things before, and he started to talk about the most important thing.

""Infernal Affairs" has already been filmed twice, and both were successful. No matter how you look at it, you can't continue to make sequels, and this is right! However, the current overall environment is very poor, and many companies have experienced bad conditions.

, although our Dongbao has superior strength, we are still struggling...

Director Iwata, please!

Could you please start filming the sequel to "Kill That Man"?!

please!"

Great voice and emotion!

Moreover, after Yamauchi finished speaking, he made a very standard ninety-degree bow to Takeshi Iwata.

Takeshi Iwata knew it when he saw it.

This is an old craftsman.

Just this bow, without 20 years of skill, it would definitely not be possible.

Shimatani looked very ugly, and he knew it was like this.

"Infernal Affairs" won't make a sequel, that's fine.

However, filming a sequel to "Kill That Man" is not too much to ask for, right?

This movie was the top box office hit among local movies last year.

Director Iwata, you also want to make money, right?

From a business perspective, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Toho doing this.

But this movie... isn't it very clear just from the name?

That man, Takeshi Iwata, has been killed!

How to make a sequel?

Yamauchi lowered his head and didn't get up for a long time, but in fact, he was smiling.

How does Takeshi Iwata respond?

In other words, how could he refuse?

"Director Iwata..." Matsuoka also showed his old face.

And Taketa Iwata... also laughed.

The smile is still so scary.

But next, we, Director Iwata, are reasonable people.

"It is indeed a good idea to make a sequel, but I also have a plan for a new film. This new film will not be worse than the sequel to "Kill That Man."

oh?!

What is the plan for this new film?

Yamauchi couldn't help but raise his head, "The new film plan... will Akina Nakamori star in it?"

Takeshi Iwata nodded, "Yes."

Shimatani was also surprised when he heard this, "So, the male protagonist is..."

Takeshi Iwata pointed at himself, "Me."

this...

In an instant, the entire Dongbao senior management was shocked!

Matsuoka pushed up his glasses and said in a very embarrassed tone: "Director Iwata, please be more careful, okay?"

The subtext is: Is it appropriate for you to form a CP with Akina Nakamori?
