Japanese big things

Chapter 244 Comfort

Like a gurgling stream, time slowly but surely entered midsummer July inadvertently.

While Tokyo is already slightly hot due to the scorching sunshine, Nemuro, located in the northeast of Hokkaido, is still extremely cold.

Compared with June, the only difference in Nemuro is that the local temperature has indeed risen a few degrees, and the originally thick snow has also melted a bit.

However, for Mizuno Kazuji, who flew from the warm and comfortable Tokyo to the cold Nemuro, he could not notice such a small difference.

Mizuno Kazuji only knew that he had arrived at the remote Nemuro, and that this ghost place was extremely cold and far less comfortable than Tokyo.

If he had a choice, he would rather stay in Tokyo's intoxicating Ginza and dance every night than go to this place where he can't help but tremble when he breathes.

However, the guys in the design department urged anxiously one by one, forcing Mizuno and Tsukasa to have no choice but to run to Nemuro to find Nakamura Masahiro.

I don’t know what’s going on with those guys in the design department? They are obviously old designers with professional backgrounds, but they still need help from the non-professional supervisor Masahiro Nakamura?

Could it be that, without communication with Masahiro Nakamura, they would not be able to design products?

It is undeniable that Masahiro Nakamura's exterior design is indeed outstanding, and the eye-catching features really make people feel surprised.

But he doesn’t have a professional background and doesn’t have relevant experience in the industry, so how can he compare to those guys in the design department?

Is it because Masahiro Nakamura is extremely talented? Or are the designers trained by Honda just useless?

Miscellaneous thoughts filled Mizuno Kazuji's mind. He closed his eyes full of worry, unconsciously tapping his knees with his fingers, full of resentment towards the colleagues who had caused trouble.

The car drove smoothly on the spacious road, and the solid glass blocked the cold wind from outside, making the car warm inside.

The young driver concentrated on driving the car, controlling the steering wheel with both hands steadily, trying to keep the speed of the car steady.

The scenery outside the window receded quickly, as if in a competition, and disappeared before I could see clearly.

Speeding all the way, when the time hand pointed to one o'clock, Mizuno Kazuji arrived at the filming location at Nemuro Beach.

"This damn place is so cold..."

The car door opened, and Mizuno Kazuji got out of the car. He suddenly switched from the warm and comfortable interior of the car to a bitingly cold environment, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"You go back first... I will stay here for the time being, and then go back to Tokyo directly with the TBS TV crew."

Tightening his thick coat, Mizuno Kazuji sent the driver away, and then walked towards the set with a shrunken body, completely losing the aura of a professional elite.

After the briefing, Mizuno Kazuji, guided by the crew members, smoothly entered the set. Passing through the busy crowd, he soon saw Nakamura Masahiro who was telling the actors about the play.

While looking up, Nakamura Masahiro also saw Mizuno Kazushi approaching. He nodded slightly, saying hello to Mizuno Kazushi, and then continued to immerse himself in the drama.

Kimura Takuya, Kagawa Teruyuki, Sakai Masato and Shibata Kyohei and others stood in a circle, listening to Nakamura Masahiro's story attentively, and showing thoughtful expressions from time to time.

Mizuno and Tsukasa quietly stood aside and listened attentively for a while. Unfortunately, Nakamura Masahiro's narration was a bit complicated, and he could not easily understand it.

As many people have experienced, a single word can be understood, but when combined together, it feels a bit like a sacred book.

"Okay, that's almost it..."

At the end of his speech, Nakamura Masahiro clapped his hands and said in a concluding tone: "Give everyone a few minutes to adjust and think about it carefully. We will start shooting later."

"Okay, Director Nakamura."

Unanimous responses sounded one after another. Seeing that Nakamura Masahiro had a visitor, Kimura Takuya, Kagawa Teruyuki and others wisely left some space.

Although they are all experienced actors, the details that Masahiro Nakamura just explained still make them feel that they have benefited a lot.

Sure enough, even if it is a new director who has just emerged, it is really not an easy person to win the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

"Mizuno-senpai, why are you here in Nemuro?"

A polite smile appeared on Nakamura Masahiro's face. After he arranged for his assistant to pour tea, he turned around and greeted Mizuno Kazuji in a warm tone.

"You didn't even notify me in advance... If you had told me in advance, it would be easier for me to make arrangements."

"It's okay, no need to bother."

Mizuno Kazuji waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for those vain politeness. He paused, and the expression on his face became slightly serious.

"I came here this time because the design department invited you..."

"Senior Mizuno, I will definitely go there when I have time..."

Before Mizuno Kazushi could finish what he said, Nakamura Masahiro agreed and said: "How about I go after the TV series is finished filming."

I really don’t know what those people in Honda’s design department think? Why do they keep inviting him? Can’t they do it without him?

"Are you sure? Nakamura-san...."

Nakamura Masahiro's straightforward attitude was somewhat unexpected by Mizuno Kazuji. He looked at Nakamura Masahiro with scrutinizing eyes and spoke in a slightly surprised tone.

"Are you trying to comfort me again? Are you going to let go again then?"

It’s really not that Kazuji Mizuno doesn’t want to trust Nakamura Masahiro, but that Nakamura Masahiro already has a criminal record in this regard.

When the design department first went to Kanazawa, Masahiro Nakamura was busy with work and had no time to receive the reception. So after wandering around, the people from the design department returned to Honda on their own.

Not long ago, Masahiro Nakamura promised to visit the design department the next day. Everyone in the design department was full of expectations, but as expected, they gave up.

It is precisely because Nakamura Masahiro has such a record of "full of bad records" that the design department is not at ease at all, so it urges Mizuno Kazuji to personally lead the people.

"No, I will definitely go this time."

A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on his face involuntarily. Faced with Mizuno Kazuji's gaze, Nakamura Masahiro repeated his assurances.

Masahiro Nakamura actually doesn't want to go to Honda's design department. He is just a fag, and his exterior design relies entirely on borrowing from classics in his memory.

If they don't meet, Nakamura Masahiro can still maintain his superior status. After all, those drawings are classics and were originally made by senior designers.

If there were actual exchanges, in front of those experienced real bosses, Nakamura Masahiro's half-assed skills would be easily crushed by others.

However, it seems that Honda's design department has been let go twice, and Nakamura Masahiro cannot continue to deliberately ignore it.

Mizuno Kazuji from Honda Company has already come to block the door. It would be really hard to explain if I don't give him any more face.

"That's okay..."

Mizuno Kazuji nodded and said, "I'll wait for you on the set, and we'll go back together then."

Obviously, Mizuno Kazuji did not believe Nakamura Masahiro's words easily, and had already made up his mind to accompany Nakamura Masahiro and never let go.

"Uh... ok."

After being stunned for two seconds, Nakamura Masahiro could only sigh helplessly. It is not good to have a criminal record, and his trust level has been reduced.

The assistant brought prepared tea, which was ordinary green tea. The conditions here in Nemuro were average, and Nakamura Masahiro was not picky, so green tea was okay.

The two of them chatted casually and drank a few sips of hot tea from time to time. The rising heat filled the air like a layer of mist.

In this cold weather, the original boiling temperature of the tea has also dropped a lot, and the warm feeling makes drinking it very comfortable.

Not long after, the set manager came over and reported to Nakamura Masahiro that the crew was ready for filming.

So Nakamura Masahiro apologized to Mizuno Kazuji, then returned to the monitor, picked up the loudspeaker and announced the start of filming.

Following Nakamura Masahiro's order, the stagnant crew quickly started to move, and everyone looked solemn, as if they were in a state of combat readiness.

Kimura Takuya and Shibata Kyohei in front of the camera also instantly entered the performance state, and there was no trace of their previous looseness and relaxation.

This scene is mainly a rivalry scene between Kimura Takuya and Shibata Kyohei. The two of them looked at the continent and ice floes in the distance on the deck, and then expressed their emotions as if they had reached the Antarctic.

Of course, this is Nemuro in Hokkaido, which is still far away from the real Antarctic continent and ice floes. Therefore, this section needs to be performed by Takuya Kimura and Kyohei Shibata.

As for the truly beautiful scenery of the Antarctic continent, the crew has already sent a special camera crew to capture the scenery, and will also shoot a documentary by the way.

In addition to some suitable shots being edited into the TV series, the documentary will also be aired after the TV series is finished.

If the Taiwanese celebration drama "Antarctica" has outstanding ratings, the documentary should also achieve good ratings.

"look...."

Kimura Takuya pointed to the distance in front of him and spoke with a little excitement.

"We finally made it to Antarctica."

Shibata Kyohei on the side looked happy, staring into the distance with the same excitement and feeling filled with emotion.

On the monitor screen, Kimura Takuya and Shibata Kyohei were looking forward at the same time. Kimura Takuya's expression had calmed down, but Shibata Kyohei's excitement still remained.

The changes in the expressions of the two people form a sharp contrast, which perfectly reflects their characters: Kuramochi Gakuchi, played by Kimura Takuya, is relatively reserved, while Shibata Kyohei's character is a little more extroverted.

There were no exaggerated expressions or movements, nor was there any deliberate pretense of being deep. It was just a simple expression of true feelings, which perfectly expressed the emotions of the two men.

"Okay....very good, next one."
