It is said that one woman is equal to 500 ducks, so surrounded by so many girls, Nanaya now feels as if he is in a duck farm. The countless chattering makes it almost impossible for him to calm down and distinguish what everyone is saying.
The only thing he could roughly hear was that what these girls were saying was related to himself, but he really had no idea about the specific content.
The only thing that Nanaya was relatively clear about was that every girl would greet him first when joining the conversation.
Although Nanaya couldn't hear clearly, Shion could hear it quite clearly. This was probably the natural advantage that women have.
The most important thing is that when these women (Ori:?) came over one after another to join the conversation, they all showed particularly intimate attitudes towards Nanaya.
Especially those special little bitches like Illya and Lily, Shion thought it was not excessive to express their clinginess to Nanaya by being intimate.
Although Nanaya has been vehemently denying the gossip magazines' rumors about him having multiple relationships, at this moment Shion really doesn't think that those gossip tabloids are wrongly accusing him.
Look at the way these women talk to each other, and listen to the provocations they make to each other that only women themselves can understand.
Shion swore that anyone - no matter if they were men or women - would have inappropriate associations with these words.
The result was that Nanaya could clearly feel that the look in Shion's eyes when she looked at him was full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Regarding this, Nanaya was really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
But Nanaya would not feel guilty, as he thought he was not a good man.
Otherwise, when he just graduated, every time the teacher asked if he wanted to go to Ginza to find a young lady, he wouldn't be the one who nodded the fastest.
But Nanaya believes that there is still a minimum bottom line. At least no matter how chaotic his private life was when he was single, he has become very disciplined now.
Especially since he and Rin confirmed their relationship, Nanaya has never done anything excessive again.
But this kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words. Even though Nanaya frequently gave Shion a reassuring look, indicating that he had never taken action against anyone other than Rin, Shion's contemptuous look was still able to explain the matter clearly.
What was frustrating in the end was that Nanaya couldn't say it out loud, because as soon as he started talking, Rin and Sakura would take over.
Of the two sisters, one would talk to Nanaya about the sweet times in the past, while the other would talk about how much Nanaya was taking care of herself now.
In short, Nanaya was in all kinds of torment.
Originally Nanaya thought that his hard days had ended during the New Year, but now it seems that he was too naive.
But Nanaya couldn't leave where he was and communicate with other people in the circle, so in the following period of time, the most thing Nanaya did was to raise his middle finger at those animals who watched him die without helping.
The responses he got were nothing more than Shiki Matsuno's repeated thumbs-up, Sugiyama's wry smile, and the indifferent attitude of others.
Fortunately, after about an hour (Nanaya himself felt like at least 12 hours had passed), the red carpet ceremony finally began.
As the door leading from the lounge to the red carpet opened, movie stars began to file out and walked towards the red channel surrounded by spotlights.
Although the Fate crew, as the favorite to win the award, walked the red carpet relatively late, but at this critical moment, the women put away their sharp attitudes towards each other and showed their most friendly and beautiful side to the camera and fans.
Although spectators are not allowed to enter the award ceremony venue, the outer part of the red carpet still allows fans to take photos and interact closely with their favorite actors.
Therefore, the red carpet can be said to be the most lively moment of the entire award ceremony, so all the stars have to show their most dazzling moment.
Especially for female stars, the human nature of loving beauty and comparison is fully exposed at this moment, and the cheers of fans are the best evaluation of each star's makeup today.
The Fate crew is undoubtedly the most dazzling team among all the crews, not only because they have so many beauties, but also because of their huge commercial success.
Commercial success also means that the film has a large audience base and is well-known among the general public.
The other crew members also caused warm cheers when they appeared on stage, but the cheers reached its peak when the Fate crew appeared on stage.
This is the result of a global box office of US$750 million, a result that no other Japanese film can match.
This is also why Kiritsugu only mentioned the artistic quality of "San Chome" and its probability of winning an award from beginning to end.
Because he knew that there was no comparability between the box office figures of the two. Even if one only compared the box office figures in Japan, the gap between the two could not be made up by bragging.
Similarly, the ritual of walking the red carpet also has a certain degree of correctness. For example, Rin was the first one in the Fate crew, and Lily, who is more internationally popular, was even ranked in a similar position to Yumi.
On the male side, as the male lead, Sugiyama is ranked ahead of his more popular cousin Junichi Ishida, but the one who leads all the male actors is the most experienced Yutaka Matsushige.
Walking the red carpet is a long process, because the stars not only have to pause every two steps to pose for photographers, but also sign autographs for some fans.
Therefore, celebrities often joke that walking the red carpet is a physically demanding activity, and one round will definitely make people feel physically exhausted.
But this kind of thing is done by movie stars, and Nanaya, who works behind the scenes, doesn't need to be as tiring as them.
Just like previous film award red carpets, Nanaya walked down the red carpet holding Shion's hand at a relatively steady pace.
Throughout the process, Nanaya only did three things:
I took photos with several important media photographers;
Occasionally signing autographs for a few of the loudest fans;
He stopped in the interview area and said a few words, expressing his confidence in Fate winning the award.
Then he took Shion into the award ceremony.
So even though Nanaya was at the end of the Fate crew when they set out, he and Shion were the first group to walk the red carpet.
Unlike those small crews that only had a few seats, as a large team, the Fate crew occupied a large area of seats at the awards ceremony venue.
Nanaya chose a seat close to the aisle which was relatively easy to leave - this would make it convenient for him to go on stage to receive the award later. Shion sat to Nanaya's right.
Except for the two of them and other behind-the-scenes production team members such as Shonan Rantaro, none of the actors were present. I guess they were outside dealing with the media and fans.
Although she knew it was because of work, it still made Shion feel very comfortable.
[Those little bitches were dancing so happily just now, and now I am enjoying them all by myself. ]
Shion looked at the man beside her with a smile, but her heart was filled with joy.
Nanaya, however, was not so aware. He crossed his arms and waited quietly for the award ceremony to begin.
In seats far away from the Fate crew, almost at the other end, Kiritsugu and Irisviel were also sitting, waiting for the moment when the prizes would be announced.
"That guy is not even world-class. No, he is not even a top-notch director in Japan."
Kiritsugu was talking to his wife as if he had won a great victory.
"Who do you think is the best director in Japan? Kiritsugu?"
Iris had a gentle smile on her face. Perhaps it was her nature, or perhaps she had already let go of the so-called victory or defeat. No matter what the occasion, she always looked like a gentle and virtuous wife and mother, as if all the disputes had nothing to do with her.
"Of course, I have won more awards in my career as a director than the number of TV series produced by his studio!" Kiritsugu said in a firm tone.
"Your idea of focusing only on awards is from the 1970s, right?"
The smile on Iris's face didn't change at all, but her eyebrows were twitching, and it was obvious that she had the urge to hit someone.
"And if Nanaya-chan can win an award this time, wouldn't that make up for his lack of awards?"
"Impossible." Kiritsugu said with gritted teeth, "He will never be able to get such an honor in his lifetime. If you want to know why, it's because I'm here!"
"Kiritsugu you are so childish."
Iris didn't know what to say, as Kiritsugu was very optimistic about Nanaya when they first collaborated on "Goblin Slayer".
Apart from the matter of Illya, Kiritsugu was more admiring and praising when he mentioned Nanaya.
But ever since Nanaya and Lin Bao separated, Kiritsugu's resentment towards Nanaya has been in a state of continuous growth, and now Kiritsugu is full of hatred towards Nanaya.
[If Nanaya-chan really wins this time, I wonder what color his face will turn into... He won't faint on the spot, will he? Our company just changed its leader recently, and we don't want to change people again before the full term of 5 years...]
Iris held her chin with one hand. Although she didn't know the specific awards, looking at Kiritsugu's current expression, she estimated that even if Fate won an award, he would be furious.
However, given Fate's qualities, is it possible not to win an award?
Even if there are no performance awards, at least one or two technical awards can be given as a consolation.
Iris could already foresee that no matter what the prizes were tonight, the final result would definitely not make Kiritsugu comfortable.
Therefore, Iris's attention is no longer on the award ceremony, but on how to comfort her big boy in the evening.
[I really envy Illya. Her man is no less troublesome than Kiritsugu in every way except that he is unfaithful.]
Looking at Nanaya communicating with her crew members in the distance, Iris felt a little uncomfortable.
[The opponent is very strong. I wonder if Illya can defeat him? ]
At this time, all the guests at the award ceremony venue had already taken their seats, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the emcee to come on stage and start.
Suddenly, the lights in the entire award ceremony hall dimmed, and a strong white light hit the stage curtain.
Then everyone saw a tiger wearing a tuxedo and strutting onto the stage with a tiger bamboo sword on his shoulder.
"Everyone, the Japanese Oscars ceremony is now open!"
The 29th Japanese Academy Awards ceremony has begun.
