Tokyo bubble life

For several days in a row, Naoki Naoyama stayed at home and worked hard, writing the script and novel of "Love Letter". From morning to night, he had no rest except eating and sleeping.

The script is okay, it’s just described according to the plot of the movie in my mind, at most add a little storyboard or something,

But as for the novel, at that time it seemed that I skipped and read it, and even the content in my memory was incomplete, and the last part could only be completed by myself while following the plot of the movie, which was simply a second creation.

The handwriting of nearly 200,000 words of the script plus the novel is a bit heavy.

And besides being tired and falling asleep, I can’t relax at other times. When I relax, it seems that there is a countdown in my mind, and I can’t calm down even watching TV or listening to music.

The spirit collapsed tightly, so after a few days, I felt that the whole person was much lighter.

After many days, Naoki Yongshan finally received a call from Otomo Fangcun again.

"Naoki-san, the actor of the movie has been chosen, do you want to come over and have a look?"

After such a long audition, it's finally confirmed. Before making a movie, he, the producer, naturally wants to meet the lead actor.

After driving to the studio, Shuichi Itou, who was talking to Masataka Komori at the desk in the lobby, immediately stood up when he saw him,

"Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?"

Naoki Yongshan is at a loss, isn't he fine?

"Xiuichi-san, are you kidding me? April Fool's Day has already passed~"

"No, doesn't Naoki-san feel it? Right now, Naoki-san is haggard and pale, and his face has lost a lot of weight!" Shuichi Ido was still very surprised, "Is Naoki-san sick again? "

Has it changed so much?

Naoki Naoyama didn't feel anything when he looked in the mirror every day, but Shuu Yitang and the others felt a great change when they saw it again after a few days.

"Ah, repairing a mulberry with adhesive tape." Naoki Yongshan was relieved, the work will be almost finished in a few days, and it will be fine by then, "I am writing a novel during this time, so I have taken a lot of effort."

Itou Shuichi still has a certain understanding of art creation. He knows that creators sometimes fall into a state of frantic creation. At that time, inspiration bursts out, but it is a test for both spirit and body.

"Are you really okay? Do you need to see a doctor?"

"Don't worry, Xiu Yisang, it's almost healed." Seeing that other people in the studio also looked at this side with concern, Naoki Yongshan didn't want others to focus on him, "Xiu Yisang, it's not that the lead actor is selected. Ready? Is he coming?"

"Oh, hi, people are already in the office."

As he spoke, he took Yongshan Naoki and walked inside. As soon as the door opened, there were Yoshimura Otomo and another middle-aged man of the same age. They looked thin but full of masculinity, but a pair of glasses added a touch of soft.

Eh? Is such an actor actually asked to play the university professor in the movie? How did Xiu Yi-san and Otomo-san think about it?

"Naoki-san, you are here!" Fangcun Dayou saw Naoki Yongshan coming in, and began to introduce the people on both sides.

"Naoki-san, this is the leading actor we chose, Mr. Chiba Shinichi." Then he turned to Chiba Shinichi, "Shinichi-san, this is the screenwriter, director and producer of our film, Naoki Naoyama."

Although I was a little surprised by such a casting, I still bowed and said hello when I met Naoki Nagayama for the first time:

"Hello, first time meeting, I am Naoki Nagayama, please give me your advice." "Hi, first time meeting, I am Chiba Shinichi, please give me your advice."

Alas, it's OK to just say hello, but there is still such a process of etiquette.

After shaking hands with Chiba Shinichi, Yongshan Naoki found that this guy is really strong, and there are calluses on his hands. If someone is not familiar with him, he will probably think he is a warrior at first glance.

Before he could sit still, Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help but introduce: "Naoki-san, Shinichi-san is a senior in the industry. He has acted in "The Conspiracy of the Yagyu Family" and his acting skills are very superb."

Is it just that? What does such a sword and halberd film have to do with us?

Recently, the mental pressure is quite high, so if Naoki Naoyama has any doubts, he can speak up without being too tactful:

"Hey, I have seen the works of Mr. Shinichi Chiba (actually I haven't), and they are indeed very good, but with all due respect, the protagonist of our movie is a university professor. It seems that Shinichi-san's image does not fit?"

Chiba Shinichi took a sip of water in embarrassment at this time, Naoki Nagayama looked at Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Otomo-san, I said Naoki-san would ask, right?" Yi Tangxiu looked at Fangcun Dayu and said something with a smile, and Fangcun Dayu also laughed.

Then Shuichi Ido explained: "Naoki-san, considering the era of the movie, the university professors at that time were all elites in society, mentally speaking, Shinichi-san's masculine image is more suitable. And as a professor at an agricultural university, such a good body is also needed."

Yoshimura Otomo also added: "Actually, when Mr. Chiba Shinichi came to the audition, he was wearing the clothes of a university professor at that time. It was very in line with the temperament of decades ago, and he didn't look too masculine at all."

Then Yoshimura Otomo also added: "And the Hachikos like Mr. Chiba Shinichi very much."

That's it. The last condition made Naoki Naoyama no doubt. Anyway, makeup can solve a large part of the makeup, and acting skills should not be a problem.

"I see. Since Xiuichi-san and Otomo-san are so trusting, then Chiba Shinichi-san, I hope to give you a lot of advice in the future filming."

Chiba Shinichi finally spoke at this time: "Hey, please give Naoki-san a lot of advice."

Just when he was about to further explain the shooting process with Shinichi Chiba, Naoki Naoyama felt more and more familiar. How could this face look so familiar?

After struggling for a while, he still couldn't help but said: "Shinichi-san, although it's rude, can you please take off your glasses?"

"Eh?"

Chiba Shinichi still has a little respect for this sick-looking producer. A young man's words can make Yoshimura Otomo and Yi Tangxiu one or two older people attach great importance to it, which shows that this is a capable and resourceful person. people.

So although it was a bit strange at this time, he still took off his glasses and looked at Naoki Yongshan,

"What's wrong, Naoki-san?"

this face? Naoki Yongshan couldn't help exclaiming: "Xiongba?! It's you!"

Chinese is used here

Unexpectedly, Xiongba in "Fengyun" actually came to the crew of Shuyou Yinghua!

The three people on the opposite side were a little confused, Naoki Yongshan suddenly said a sentence in Chinese, what does it mean? What does it mean?

"Naoki-san, what are you talking about?" Fangcun Dayu asked on behalf of the three.

Naoki Naoyama suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said: "Ah, it's nothing, that Chinese sentence means very domineering. I saw that Shinichi-san's image conditions are very suitable for playing roles like the boss."

The three of you looked at me and I looked at you, and laughed awkwardly, while Chiba Shinichi muttered silently in his heart:

"I heard that talented people are a bit strange. Maybe this screenwriter has some mental problems."

May 1982,

The cold war between the Soviet Union and the United States is still going on worldwide, but the overall form has tended to ease.

In Western Europe, the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina was heating up. On May 2, the cruiser General Belgrano of the Argentine Navy was sunk by the British nuclear submarine Conqueror, causing more than 300 casualties in Argentina.

At this time, Japan, whether it is domestic economy or international status, is steadily improving, and it is developing step by step towards the golden Showa era in the hearts of future generations.

Tokyo in May is still full of singing and dancing, the economic news is concerned about the rising stock market, and the entertainment newspapers are chasing the big and small things of the stars.

Akina Nakamori's debut, in the entertainment industry where there are hot news every day, it's just a small splash,

And this splash is more due to the controversial hotspots brought about by buying the entire magazine page before.

On the way back to Yamazakurain, Naoki Naoyama bought a piece of Akina’s debut single "スローモーション (Slow Motion)" in a roadside record store, and made a little contribution to Akina's debut.

It was almost noon when we arrived at Yamazakura-in, and I hadn’t been in the mood to cook for myself these days, so I packed some food from the restaurant outside and took it back to the house with the newly bought vinyl records.

"Taro, I'm back!"

Looking at the half-grown dog who was shaking his head, Naoki Yongshan, who had something in both hands, could only let him rub against his legs,

"Hey Taro, are you hungry? I brought you a big bone~"

After putting down the food, Naoki Naoyama went to the living room and turned on the record player, ready to enjoy Akina's first single while eating.

While stuffing steak in my mouth, I looked at the package of the record. Is this the original debut song?

"When we meet each other, it's like slow motion,"

"軽いめまい导うほどに I can't help feeling a little dizzy and my cheeks are slightly hot"

"When we meet each other, it's like slow motion"

"The person who catches the eyes of Hitomi no Nakaeru Hito"

The sweet voice came out from the record player, causing Naoki Naoyama to stop chewing for a while,

Listening to songs on the Internet in later generations is naturally different from the feeling on the record player, as if Akina is really in the room, singing this song with you.

At this time, Akina Nakamori was still using the popular sweet singing voice, without the feeling of the queen of mid-bass music in the later period, but this song seemed to bring Naoki Naoyama back to the time on the beach in Los Angeles.

At the end of the song, the whole person seemed to look back on his first love again.

"Sure enough, Mingcai sauce!"

Naoki Nagayama quickly finished the food on the table, and then he was about to call Akina Nakamori to let her know how she felt after listening to the debut song,

But then I thought that Mingcai is performing in various places now, and she must not be at home, and the phone message can only be a little long, so I decided to write a letter to express my praise for Mingcai.

It just so happens that I have been writing the novel "Love Letter" for the past few days, and my writing style is at its peak.

In the afternoon, Naoki Naoyama did not stay at home to continue writing novels,

He made an appointment with Motomo Araki today, and he was going to find someone from an underground band to find a suitable rap singer.

On the way, I sent the letter to Mingcai, but I don't know when I will receive it.

When we arrived at the disco in Takadanobaba, a big sign had already been hung at the entrance of the disco, explaining the renovation of the disco and the suspension of business, but occasionally there were still young people who didn’t come to the disco every day and didn’t know the news of the closure. ask for information,

Motomo Araki and two security guards in black suits were comforting the guests who brought their friends, including introducing them to nearby dance halls and giving them free tickets after the reopening.

"Maozhi-san." Naoki Yongshan walked to the door after parking the car, and greeted several people.

"Naoki-san, you're here~" Motomo Araki handed over the work to the two security guards, and then came to receive Naoki Nagayama.

After the two walked into the gate of the disco, Naoki Yongshan found that the decorations, seats, bar, main console, neon ball lights, etc. inside had all disappeared.

"Mozhi-san, have you disposed of all the accessories?" Naoki Yongshan thought they were sold as scrap.

"No, Naoki-san, except for some uplights and spotlights that will be used later, everything else is sold."

"Sold? Will anyone still buy those waste products?" Naoki Yongshan was curious.

"Naoki-san, those things have only been used for about a year, and they are still 80% new, and their functions are very good, so they are very popular in the second-hand market." Mozhi Araki thought of something, and laughed, " The owners of nightclubs and dance halls all liked it very much when they heard that it was a replacement of the 'Yuanzu Disco'."

"Huh? Does anyone still value this?"

Motomo Araki nodded: "Naoki-san, now in Shibuya, Ginza, Minato, Akihabara and other relatively developed areas, there are people who want to open dance halls and nightclubs. Although some stores can only insist on A few months, but the number of people who want to participate in Jinglai is countless."

Motomo Araki looked at the young boss next to him. There were not many bosses in Tokyo who came up with the concept of the disco early on like his own and kept the disco popular. Most of them depended on the location, decoration, dancers, etc. to attract people.

And when the disco is hot, there are even fewer bosses who can ignore the profit of a month or two and think about redecorating.

"Haha, there will be more and more such dance halls and even disco halls." Naoki Yongshan shook his head. It was not yet the time when the bubble was at its peak. At that time, there were everywhere, "Mozhi-san, let's go and have a look together." The band you said."

"Hi."

With the boss, it is natural to drive by yourself at this time,

After Motomo Araki explained a few words, he drove Naoki Nagayama to the livehouse, where he had already made an appointment with a band he had led when he was a band manager. If he could be favored by the boss, he might really be able to leave. On the avenue of the entertainment world,

This can be regarded as living up to the previous friendship!
