Chapter 53 Record Award

After Christmas, akb48 ushered in a meaningful event for them.

Japan Record Awards. Akb48 was shortlisted for the Excellent Work Award with "flyingget", and the final grand prize was selected from the winners of these excellent work awards.

The Japan Record Awards is a famous music award in Japan since 1959, and it is the most authoritative music award in Japanese commercial music in the past and today.Held on December 12 every year, the organizer is the Japan Composers Association and co-organized by TBS.The types of awards include, in addition to the highest honor award, there are awards such as the Best Newcomer Award, the Best Singing Award, and the Best Album Award.

Last year, Somesaki Sakura won the Best Newcomer Award with a single, but this year, because she only released a single but not an album, she was not nominated for the Excellent Album Award, although her single sales lead the way.

It is completely reasonable that Akb48 can be shortlisted for the final award list. Whether it is in terms of quality or sales, "flyingget" is definitely a big hit for the award.However, the outside media is concerned about whether akb48 can win the championship.

Almost all of them are bad songs but not good songs.

Without him, all the media believe that akb48 is not qualified.

Qualified, this word is really a very subjective word, whether it is qualified or not is decided by the judges, and the thoughts of the judges are not counted by others.

In particular, the only opponent of AKB48 this year is Exile, who has won the Grand Prix for two consecutive years and is aiming for the third consecutive championship this year.

As an established boy group, Exile is indeed very good, with good works and good singing skills. Not only is it popular in Japan, but it also has a good reputation.Compared to akb48, which has a special way of operation and is still not recognized by some media people, exile can be said to be better than akb48 in everything.

Even though this year can be called the year of AKB48, there are still many people who are not optimistic about AKB48. Some media even publicly stated that although AKB48's sales are excellent, it does not mean that they are qualified to stand at the top of the entertainment circle.

As for the members of akb48, before participating in the Record Awards, they were poured cold water by such public opinion.In particular, Akihara Yasushi specially gave them a vaccination in order to prevent these girls from being overwhelmed psychologically. As long as they continue to keep their dreams and fight hard, they will succeed in the end. One failure is not a failure. Standing up is success.

In private, Takahashi Kusu said to Somesaki Sakura very unwillingly: "Why can't we win the grand prize? Why should we accept such a failure? No matter what, I am not convinced." There are more than one people who have this idea Takahashi Nan, most members of akb48 have this idea, when all the media are bad-mouthing, they are all unwilling.

Not only the members of akb48 are not reconciled, but their fans are also not reconciled, but the fans know better than the members that if akb48 fails to win the award this year, there is only one reason, which is "discrimination".So far, many people still think that akb48 is just a mob composed of a group of little girls, and they won't be popular for long.

Even on a variety show that Yu Oshima participated in, a guest asked her jokingly, what if akb48 doesn't win the grand prize this year?Everyone thought that Oshima Yu would tactfully bypass the topic, but who knew that Oshima Yu directly and firmly retorted: "How could it not be possible? We have such good grades." After such words were broadcast, they naturally got most of them. Some people even said that she was daydreaming, but Oshima Yu just didn't change her words.

All members of Akb48 firmly believe that they will be able to succeed.

To be honest, more than one song of akb48 can be selected for the record award this year, both "beginner" and "heavyrotation" are eligible to be shortlisted, and the sales of "beginner" are even better, but the jury finally chose

"Flyingget" proves that the quality of this song is indeed better.However, if the combination with three consecutive million-selling singles fails to win the record award, the members of akb48 may really be heartbroken.

On the day of the official award presentation, the members who had changed their clothes and sat backstage were not as excited as they had imagined, and even strangely, they were even nervous.

No feeling.

Perhaps this group of members already understood in their hearts that even if they were unwilling, the result might already be doomed, and the grand prize would not belong to them.

Even though none of the shortlisted singers have the results and reasons to beat akb48, the members of akb48 still feel the malice and discrimination from the outside world nakedly. Even if their fans are fighting hard for them, they can't cover it up. The contempt those people have for them.

It has been five years since Akb48 was established, and every year, it receives all kinds of attention because of big and small things.At the beginning of its establishment, everyone said that it was just a group of little girls playing around, and it was no big deal; after they became famous, most people said that they were idols who relied on revealing their bottoms and swimsuits to make sales, and they had no strength; Ability to stand at the top of the entertainment circle, some people still say, if akb48 can win awards, then can Japan still be saved?

No matter how hard these girls try, it seems that some people are resisting and maliciously insulting them. From its establishment to the present, no member has performed without pressure.So far, Maeda Atsushi has not contacted her high school classmates, because she will never forget the ridicule and booing of those people.

As for Somesaki Sakura, she almost forgot how much she was ridiculed at the beginning.

So, the girls are extremely unwilling, why, why can't they get this award?When this unwillingness reached the extreme, it caused the entire lounge to fall silent.

Somesaki Sakura couldn't stand the oppression in the room, she quietly walked out of the room, and after she walked out, the fresh air that greeted her made her take a deep breath, and then sighed again.

She was surrounded by busy staff coming and going. Occasionally someone noticed her standing aside, but they only gave her a few glances and left in a hurry.Look, the reality is like this, although akb48 is popular all over the country, in fact, apart from their fans, they don't have much status in the hearts of other people.

"Why are you standing here alone?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Somesaki Sakura's ears. Somesaki Sakura raised her head, and a face she hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of her eyes, it was Quan Zhilong.

After going through the drug-taking incident, Quan Zhilong seems to have matured a lot, and Big Bang's development has been steady and steady. This time, Big Bang's single "tellmegoodbye" was also shortlisted for the record award. For the group, this is an extremely rare thing.It's no wonder that there were some firms that couldn't understand the development momentum of Big Bang.

The current relationship between the two people, they say they are familiar but they haven't contacted a few times, and they say they are not familiar but they have some intersections. Usually Somesaki Sakura will be a little embarrassed when seeing Quan Zhilong, but at this time she is not in a good mood and doesn't bother to think about it. Some of these are missing, just smiled slightly: "Come out to get some air. By the way, congratulations to you for being shortlisted for the Record Awards this year."

Quan Zhilong also smiled, "Thank you. However, this congratulations should be for yourself. After all, akb48 is the favorite to win this award." The two entertainers are politely wishing each other.

Somezaki Sakura felt a little depressed when she mentioned the words "hottest winners". She didn't want Quan Zhilong to see anything, and said in a low voice: "Thank you. The award ceremony is about to start, I'm going in, and you too Go back quickly."

Although Quan Zhilong stayed in South Korea for a longer time, he also had some understanding of the situation of akb48 winning this time and the controversy surrounding akb48. Seeing Sakura Somezaki's face at this time, he did not speak anymore, watching Somezaki Sakura returned to the room and left herself.

The staff who saw this scene didn't think much about it. After all, the two artists spoke for too short a time and the distance was not close, so they could tell they were just courteous to each other.

When it came time for the official awards ceremony, the sheer number of akb48 members got most of the attention.The guests who participated in the awards ceremony were seated according to their positions. The other groups sat together with several people, except for akb48, which occupied a large area of ​​seats.

The awards have been awarded one by one. This year’s awards did not appear to be very popular. The most eye-catching thing is that the Korean girl group Girls’ Generation won the Newcomer Award, and the Korean boy group Big Bang also won the Work Award. It’s just a rare Korean group in Japan. Winner of major awards.

And at the very end, when the awards were announced, the award presenter on the stage announced: "The 52nd Japan Record Awards, the winners—"

Everyone in Akb48 raised their hearts, everyone felt like there were two villains fighting in their hearts, one person said hopeless, impossible, don’t look forward to it, otherwise the disappointment would be even greater, while the other person said, maybe there will be a miracle Woolen cloth?Why can't we win the prize?The intense psychological warfare made every member look extremely nervous, their faces flushed, and even some members couldn't bear the pressure, and their breathing became short of breath, and Somesaki Sakura's heart seemed to be about to jump out.

"akb48! "Flying Get"!"

"what--"

A shrill cry sounded around Somezaki Sakura, but Somezaki Sakura sat in the position as if she was fixed by someone, she couldn't react, was it the name of akb48 called just now?Yeah?Yeah!

Atsushi Maeda next to him was already crying, and Kusuno Takahashi jumped directly on Sakura Somesaki. The greater the disappointment, the greater the surprise. No one can understand the psychology of the members at this moment. They are like children who have been suppressed for a long time. All the grievances were vented at this moment.

When Takahashi Nan's crying sounded clearly in Somesaki Sakura's ears, Somesaki Sakura finally came back to her senses. At this moment, she didn't even realize that her eyes were already blurred with tears. She was never expected to be so big now. Surprise, from hell to heaven, it is not an exaggeration to describe the mood at this time.

The judges of the Record Awards finally awarded this award to akb48. Although this group is still controversial, although some judges still object to this decision, in the end, the number of votes for akb48 is still ahead of other groups.The judges believed that akb48 may not be recognized by everyone, but these girls really brought changes to the music industry and Japan.

They hope that these girls can continue their careers and bring about better changes in Japan.Therefore, this award ultimately belongs to akb48.

At the moment when Atsushi Maeda stood on the podium, she was speechless, holding the microphone sobbing, and finally said this sentence almost brokenly, "The staff who have supported us all the way have always supported us. Our fans, and Yasushi Akihara, thank you very much!"

Akihara Yasushi's eyes were also red.

Somesaki Sakura took the microphone and smiled with tears in her eyes: "I am really grateful to the jury for awarding this award to us. I also thank all the fans. We did it!"

Next, it was time for the performance of "flyingget". Everyone sang the song with tears and laughter. In the applause of everyone below, akb48 finally ushered in their own glory.

The author has something to say: the original plan was not to allow akb48 to win the award this time, but after thinking about the development of the following article, akb48 still won the championship, and it is too bad that flyingget did not win the championship

☆, publicity

After getting good results at the record awards, all the participating members of akb48 participated in the red and white song meeting on the second day with excitement.This time, the red and white song is no longer a stage that they can't wait for. This year's red and white song meeting even specially arranged a unit for akb48 as the main guest performer.

That night, the female singer's red team defeated the male singer's white team. The report on the next day was all kinds of affirmation and praise for akb48. It is believed that one of the main reasons why the red team can win the white team is the participation of akb48 .The stark contrast between before and after the award left Somesaki Sakura speechless.

But no matter what, akb48 can get mainstream affirmation, they are still happy.Especially after this time, no one

Dare to underestimate akb48.

It can only be said that good things come in pairs. When akb48 won various awards, Somezaki Sakura also had good news of blossoming and bearing fruit.This year's Japanese Film Blue Ribbon Award nomination list has come out. Somesaki Sakura won the nomination for Best Actress with "Sakura". As soon as this news was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of the public. According to Somesaki Sakura's age, If she wins the championship this time, she will probably be the youngest actress in history, right?

What is even more controversial is yet to come. Soon, the nominations for the Academy Awards came out. Among the nominations for the best foreign language film, "Sakura" was impressively listed.The reason for the nomination is that although Sakura is a suspense film, it reflects the prosperity and decline of a country's cultural industry from the side, and has the significance of the times.

Earlier, after discussion, "Sakura" was still better than "Confession", and was sent to the jury of the Academy Awards by the Japan Film Association. Among the five films nominated this year, "Sakura" was the only one For a film made in an Asian country, regardless of whether the film will win an award in the end, the glory of the nomination alone is enough for the major media to show off.

For a while, the media reported one after another about the Oscar nomination of "Sakura". Japan has always admired Europe and the United States, especially the United States. Japan always has a feeling that "as long as it is linked to the United States, it is good".This time, "Sakura" was nominated for an Oscar, which is enough for the Japanese media to put various praises on the film.

Of course, the crew of "Sakura" is also very happy, especially the director Shunji Iwai. It is a surprise for him to be nominated for the best foreign language film. The most direct gesture he uses to express his joy is after the nomination is announced Invite all the actors of the crew to get together and have a party.

Why open it now instead of waiting until the time comes to win the prize?It is because the director is quite self-aware. "Sakura" is of course good enough, but judging from the routine of the previous Academy Awards, the style of "Sakura" should not be too much to the taste of the jury. For the director, the film can enter the Nominations are considered unpopular, let alone winning awards?And this year there is the Danish film "The Best World". Even the director himself admits that this film has the greatest possibility of winning the award.

The director is self-aware, but the outside media don't think so. Their hype and publicity for the movie made the movie and the crew very popular.

The most obvious thing is that the box office of the movie once again showed a small climax, and the schedule of filming that had been gradually canceled was re-established in the movie theater.Movies are reaching a climax, and the popularity of the actors is naturally only high.Especially Sakura Somesaki, who is the leading actor, the topic of her possible "sealing" has not subsided a few days ago, and the hotter topic of nomination for the Academy Awards has ushered in. It can be said that during this time, Somesaki Sakura is definitely a hot first-class topic figure.

Somesaki Sakura really experienced what it feels like to be so red this time. Her schedule has been arranged to the point where it can't be crowded anymore, and she can't even find a little free time.Not to mention all kinds of activities, there are still many directors who came to the office with scripts, and the office is too busy now. If it weren't for the fact that Sakura Somesaki was underage and had a time limit, I'm afraid The office will arrange activities for Somezaki Sakura 24 hours a day.

If more scripts are delivered to the door, the quality of the scripts will vary.The office sorted out all the scripts and screened them. Although most of the scripts were unreliable, there were a few really good scripts among them. The office took out these scripts and put them in front of Sakura Somesaki.

"We decided to take three films for you this year, so that we can ensure that your works will appear in the public from the middle of the year to the end of the year.

in front of you. Endo Hiroshi explained, "You pick from these scripts. The time of these scripts is staggered. If there is a suitable one, you can choose it directly. If it is not suitable, the firm will be active in other places." "

In the past, Sakura Somesaki only shot one or two movies a year, and one of them was a cameo or a supporting role, but this year is different. This time, with "Sakura", Sakura Somesaki, the big domestic award, can win at least one. In this way As a result, Somesaki Sakura must stabilize her position in the next year. Therefore, this year, the firm does not plan to accept Somesaki Sakura for TV dramas, mainly for the big screen.

There are a total of five scripts selected by the office. Somesaki Sakura first glanced at the contents of these scripts, and finally, only the scripts in her hands

There are two movies.

Somezaki Sakura was interested in these two movies.One of them is the film that the famous director Chu Naijima plans to start filming in September this year.

"The Cicada of the Eighth Day".The other one is a script sent by a director who has never heard of it. Such a small-budget movie should not have been screened out by the firm, but because of its brilliant plot, the firm also wanted to gamble on it. bet.

Somesaki Sakura handed the two scripts to Endo Hiroshi and said, "Just these two movies."

After reading the script, Endo Hiroshi said with a smile: "Most people in the office are more optimistic about these two movies. However," he pointed to the low-budget movie and said, "Do you want to think about it? If the film is not successful, it will have a great impact on your career. If you don't want to take it, the firm can arrange someone else."

Somesaki Sakura shook her head. In fact, among the two movies, she was more inclined to the low-cost movie, "Don't think about it, just these two movies."

Endo Hiroshi didn't say anything else, he put away the script on the table, and confessed another thing to Somesaki Sakura: "One more thing, "Sakura" has been decided to be released in Korea soon. The distributor and director We all hope that you will be able to attend the promotional activities in Korea."

Somezaki Sakura thought for a while and asked, "Can I spare some time for a trip recently?"

Endo Hiroshi looked at Asakusa Baishya, Asakusa Baishya flipped through Somesaki Sakura's schedule in his hand and said: "If you catch up with a few announcements, you can spare a few days." Somesaki Sakura said, As long as they don't object to this promotional activity, Asakusa Baishya will naturally find a way to let Somesaki Sakura free up a few days' schedule.

"It's just a few hours of publicity, and South Korea and Japan are also close, so it won't take a lot of time." Somesaki Sakura said to Endo Hiroshi.Previously, "Red Line" starring Sakura Somesaki was also released in Korea, but Sakura Somesaki did not participate in the film's promotional activities in Korea. Generally speaking, Japanese stars rarely go to Korea, and Korean idols go to Japan.

The main reason is that the Japanese entertainment industry has always implemented localized development. The Japanese market is mature enough to absorb the record sales of so many singers internally. Therefore, unless the celebrity has reached an extraordinary level, the star will go to China Or outside the development of larger markets like Europe and the United States, many other stars will not deliberately develop outside.

Moreover, Japan's local entertainment industry still has a high self-positioning. Most people look down on the small area of ​​Korea.

To develop in Asia is to choose a big market like China.Therefore, it is generally seen that the Korean Wave invades Japan, and very few Japanese stars develop in Korea.

But this time the "Sakura" movie is of great significance to Somesaki Sakura, and "Sakura" may be released in Europe and the United States in the future, which is very beneficial to Somesaki Sakura's international development. The first step in the world, even if it is a small step, Somesaki Sakura still hopes to participate.

There is still time to participate in only one promotional event, Endo Hiroshi thought about it, and said: "Then just push back a few unimportant events, you have indeed had a lot of announcements recently, just relax a bit, and have a good time." Take a break." Although various announcements are beneficial to Somesaki Sakura fans, but Somesaki Sakura's movie script for this year has been finalized, and her activities should focus on movies.

"Except for these two endorsement activities, you can't push, most of the other activities can be pushed." Endo Hiroshi pointed to the two announcements in the schedule.

These two endorsements were recently picked up by Somesaki Sakura. The rising tide lifts all boats. As Somesaki Sakura's status gets higher and higher, the products she endorses are becoming more and more high-end. One of the two endorsements this time is a women's clothing company. Brand endorsement, this brand is very famous in the world. It specializes in girls series, and its audience has always been those upper class people in society. What Sakura Somesaki accepted was not an endorsement under her name, but directly became The Asian spokesperson of this brand signed a contract for three years, and the endorsement fee alone was enough for Sakura Somesaki to make three movies at the current price.

Of course, the other endorsement was not too bad either.

Seeing that the recent itinerary has been finalized, Sakura Somesaki breathed a sigh of relief. She really needs to take a good rest during this time. After being busy with the promotion of Korea, she is about to join a new film crew to film.

☆, South Korea

After recording akb48's upcoming new single "Turning into a Cherry Blossom Tree", Somesaki Sakura flew to Korea.

The crew of "Sakura" did not arrange a lot of publicity sessions in South Korea, that is, three shows, and what Somesaki Sakura needs to participate in is the promotional meeting held in Seoul on the first day.

South Korea is a very strange country. On the one hand, they boast about their own country, and on the other hand, they worship Europe, America, Japan and other countries, especially the worship of Europe and America is stronger than that of Japanese. A little bit of achievement will be magnified countless times for publicity in the country.In other words, as long as people and things that are a little famous in the world can have something to do with South Korea, they will be used by South Korea.

Therefore, "Sakura", which was nominated for an Academy Award, has not yet been officially released in Korea. A publicity meeting is enough for the organizer to release various gimmicks. No, he joked: "If my family didn't know about my family affairs, I'm afraid I would really think that "Sakura" has already won the Academy Award."

The other staff also laughed, and one staff member said: "You are still light. I think the most popular at that time should be Sakura sauce." Somezaki Sakura who was listening on the side smiled helplessly.

It stands to reason that "Sakura" is a Japanese movie. Although it was nominated for an Academy Award, it still couldn't attract so much attention in Korea, but the unstoppable starring Sakura Somesaki is a Japanese-Korean mixed race.Moreover, according to the male chauvinism that exists in both Japan and South Korea, the father of Somesaki Sakura, who dominates the family status, is Korean. Although Somesaki Sakura is now an American citizen, if she is counted from her parents' generation, she should be Korean-American Not Japanese-American!Even though Somesaki's father never lived in Korea for a day, and now even his surname has changed.

Therefore, for the Korean media reports such as "Korean actor Somesaki Sakura is expected to win the Oscar" and "Korean actor Somesaki Sakura will be named queen in Japan", etc., Somesaki Sakura is full of black lines.Not to mention that she has never lived in Korea for a day, but it is said that she is in the entertainment industry. She seems to have debuted as a Japanese actor, right?The words "Korean-American actors conquer Japan" and "Korean Wave conquered Japan" have nothing to do with her, right?

However, no one else cares about Somezaki Sakura’s thoughts. The Korean media only needs to have this gimmick. If they seize this gimmick, it seems that it is not Japanese movies that can win the Oscars but Korean movies.

It has been a long time since South Korea gave you an actress who is enough to win international awards. In fact, when "Red Line" was released in South Korea, some media had already talked about Somesaki Sakura's blood, but it didn't cause too much attention at that time. However, this time the film she starred in was nominated for an Academy Award, as if the media had discovered a new world, and began to report on her various deeds.Therefore, before Somesaki Sakura arrived in South Korea, her popularity and status in South Korea were not generally high.

That's why the staff said that.

The director also said with a smile: "When we arrive in Korea, the publicity mainly depends on Sakura Sauce." It was also at this time that he realized that Somesaki Sakura could speak Korean well. better choice.

That afternoon, the plane arrived at Gimpo International Airport in Seoul. Somesaki Sakura packed up and got off the plane surrounded by a large crowd.As they approached the exit of the airport, the group was startled by the crowd not far away.

Reporters holding cameras, fans holding banners, a large group of people stood guard at the exit, waiting for the crew to come out.

Endo Hiroshi frowned. Fortunately, the firm arranged a lot of bodyguards for Somezaki Sakura this time, and also notified the airport staff in advance, otherwise this situation would be really difficult to deal with.Endo Hiroshi said to Iwai Shunji: "Otherwise, shall we go through the VIP passage?"

Iwai Shunji shook his head cheerfully. Although he was also frightened by this battle, he was still very happy in his heart. What do you mean by so many people?It shows that the movie is popular!This is good for the box office.Therefore, Shunji Iwai didn't want these people to wait in vain.

Endo Hiroshi had no choice but to ask Asakusa Baishata to protect Somesaki Sakura, and after explaining to several staff members, a group of people walked out from the exit.

As soon as the people waiting at the exit saw the crew coming out, they immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers. For a while, flashlights shone in front of Somesaki Sakura one by one, and many reporters rushed to raise the microphone, asking questions one by one. All came out.If the security guards hadn't teamed up to pull a protective line, I'm afraid the crew would have been overwhelmed by this group of people.

With a smile on her face, Somesaki Sakura waved to everyone and moved with the staff. She was relieved until she got into the car, and sighed: "I didn't expect so many people to pick up the plane."

Asakusa Baishya helped her get water and said, "Didn't you see the reports from South Korea before? Your popularity in South Korea is no less than that of popular idols in your country."

"It's just that it doesn't feel real." Somesaki Sakura took a sip of the water, and Endo Hiroshi in the passenger seat turned around and smiled: "If it wasn't for you

You have been mainly acting. I am afraid that the firm will really consider letting you develop overseas. "Of course, actors can also develop overseas, but at present, Somesaki Sakura has not reached such a high level. When she has enough awards to support her confidence, she can almost expand the market.

The publicity meeting was on the second day. Somezaki Sakura mainly stayed in the hotel to rest that afternoon, and at the same time recited the answers to the reporters’ questions at the publicity meeting tomorrow. Somesaki Sakura did an exclusive interview, and it took less than an hour. Somesaki Sakura thought about it and accepted the interview.

The interview questions are actually similar to the questions that will be asked at the publicity meeting the next day, about the plot of the movie, how the movie was nominated, etc. Of course, there are still many personal questions about Sakura Somesaki. Among them, the magazine The editor mentioned a question that many people are more interested in.

"Has Sakuraxi thought about developing in Korea? As far as I know, many Korean entertainment companies are very interested in the agency rights of Sakuraxi's activities in Korea."

Somesaki Sakura was stunned, she never thought about developing in Korea, and what's more, agency rights in Korea?How did she never know?

Of course, the words can't be said so bluntly, Somesaki Sakura just smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will consider it."

Afterwards, Somesaki Sakura asked about Endo Hiroshi, and Endo Hiroshi said indifferently after listening: "How could the firm allow you to develop in Korea? That's the end." Even if the firm wants Somesaki Sakura to go overseas Development is also to choose a relatively large market. South Korea's local entertainment has already shown a saturated state. How can it be possible for Somesaki Sakura to come to South Korea to develop?

"As for the agency rights in Korea, it's even more impossible. Some staff member must have misunderstood the words and made such a statement." Endo Hiroshi explained: "The nomination of "Sakura" and your own Korean blood, Some Korean directors expressed their willingness to cooperate with you in the film. Before, the agency was also looking for good scripts here in Korea, and it may be because of this that those people thought you were going to develop in Korea."

There are many directors in South Korea who are also famous internationally. Since the firm wants Sakura Somesaki to go to a higher place, it can't stick to the nationality. Compared with other countries, Sakura Somesaki who is of Korean descent is more likely to be The Korean director accepted it, so the agency will check if there are any good scripts in Korea.

Somesaki Sakura understood, and Endo Hiroshi saw that she understood, and said a few more words: "Recently, the agency has really found a better script, but it is still negotiating with the director. If it is confirmed, I should notify you." If there is no problem, this will be the third movie of Sakura Somesaki this year.

Now that she knew it was a rumor, Somesaki Sakura put the matter aside and concentrated on preparing for the next day's publicity meeting.

Of course, the publicity meeting on the second day went smoothly, and most of the media's eyes were on Somesaki Sakura. Somezaki Sakura knew the bottom line, and naturally answered very fluently, without any mistakes.In the middle of the promotional event, Somezaki Sakura also sang her second single "Sakura", which is the Korean version of the movie's theme song.

As a result, as soon as the video of the promotional event was released, other than Somesaki Sakura's nationality and acting skills, the heated discussion on the Internet was to praise her singing skills.After the film was released, it really achieved a good box office in South Korea.

Moreover, unexpectedly, the Korean version of "Sakura" sung by Sakura Somesaki even made it to the top of the music list a few days after the movie was released.

bit.For the office and Somezaki Sakura, this was a surprise.

In February, akb2's new single "Become a Cherry Blossom Tree" was officially released. This single also continued the myth of the last three singles. Its sales exceeded one million in the first week. People can't help feeling that akb48 is really rising up.

At this time, the list of the 53rd Japan Blue Ribbon Film Awards has also been announced. "Sakura" won the Best Picture Award, and Somesaki Sakura also won the crown of Best Actress.

In the list of winners of the 34th Japan Film Academy Awards announced later, "Sakura" was also a big winner. It not only won the best work award, but also won the excellent script award, excellent photography award, excellent music award and dyeing Saki Sakura won the best actress award.

In the same year, with the same film, she won two major awards in Japan, and at the end of February, Somesaki Sakura will also participate in the Oscar Awards ceremony. For a while, Somesaki Sakura has the same limelight.

☆, party

Not every actor can step on the red carpet of the Academy Awards, but Sakura Somesaki was only 16 years old, and she was able to step on this stage, which can not help but amaze people.Of course, on the stage of Oscars, it is impossible to have younger actors, and there are actors who won Oscars at this age, but as far as Asian actors are concerned, Somesaki Sakura is indeed commendable
