Tokyo bubble life

Since the Maetori Shrine in Kanagawa enshrines the god in charge of literature, it is usually synonymous with purity except during exam season. However, recently, the originally quiet courtyard has suddenly become lively.

Small tents were set up in the open space of the front hall. Under the blue or red tents, there were stalls selling trinkets, vendors playing shooting games, and charcoal grills for barbecue, taiyaki and takoyaki. The cart also has shaved ice, apple candy, chocolate banana, etc.~

The tents are clustered on both sides of the Shinto, leaving only a not-so-wide aisle in the middle. Tourists, some in yukatas and others in T-shirts, are flowing slowly in the aisle, making it seem crowded and lively~

The wisps of green smoke floating from the sky, together with the incense inside the shrine, filled the entire Maetori Shrine with the smell of human fireworks, as if it wanted to attract the ethereal gods.

When Nagayama Naoki came here with the crew, it was almost evening, which happened to be the busiest time for the summer festival. Nearby residents came here with their families, and the laughter of children and the persuasion of adults could not be heard. .

"What's going on?" Nagayama Naoki was a little confused, "Is there really a summer festival event at Maetori Shrine today?"

Kijima Kyū next to him was also very surprised. He immediately called someone to call Takehiko Takehiko from the props team:

"Takei-san, please explain to Naoki-san."

"?Explain what?"

"Didn't I ask you to build a venue?" Kijima Xu said, "Why did it really become a summer festival?"

Takei Takehiko was a little confused: "Didn't Naoki-san say that it should be exactly the same as the real Summer Festival? In addition to the tents borrowed from the shrine, I also went to the market to buy lamps and signs for the Summer Festival. of"

"Then people came and asked where the venue was, how many shops there were, whether it was vacant, and whether they wanted to fill in the space, etc."

"I thought so. After all, the empty Summer Festival must look unreal, so I agreed that they would find someone to come."

"After that, starting from this afternoon, traders started coming one after another."

"In the end, I don't know when, there were customers coming here to hang out. I don't know why, and there were more and more people."

"However, this looks more and more like a real summer festival!"

"Isn't that right, Naoki-san?!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Takehiko Takehiko who was begging for praise and fell silent.

In the past few days, he had put some of his focus on writing the script, only paying attention during filming, and not paying much attention to other details, let alone setting up the venue as far away as Kanagawa.

He was a little confused whether his subordinate was too serious and took his words as the highest requirement, or whether he was too slow and turned a fake event into a real summer festival.

"Hahaha, European model series~ European model series~"

Kitano Takeshi heard the whole process from the side and was very surprised at the result of such nonsense. He looked at the scene that was exactly the same as other summer festivals and couldn't help but applaud.

"Naoki-san, you are planning a summer festival in Kanagawa!"

Tanaka Yuko was also pulling Naoto Fujiki and smiling happily. If it weren't for the filming requirements, she might have taken the young actor to the summer festival.

Why is Naoto Fujiki following Yuko Tanaka? Compared to a bunch of rough guys, of course I prefer a gentle and beautiful big sister!

Seeing that it had become an established fact, Nagayama Naoki could not say anything. He could only pat Takei Takehiko on the shoulder:

"Takei-san, you did a great job. Don't do it again~"

"???"

Then he asked Kijima Xu: "Kijima-kun, didn't you say that reporters are coming today? Where are they?"

"In the main hall of the shrine, Takei-san placed them there."

"Okay, let's go meet them for a while first~"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke and Shimoda Tomoya, the editor of "Weekly Bunshun", were among a group of reporters, visiting the main hall of Maetori Shrine.

"I didn't expect Shuyou's on-set interview to invite so many media." Shimoda Tomoya looked at the colleagues around him and was a little surprised. There were several acquaintances of him among them.

"After all, he is a well-known director." Shinnosuke Matsuzawa said casually while looking at the statue, "Didn't we say before that this movie will compete for the Palme d'Or and the Oscar at the same time, so everyone is curious."

"It's a comedy. It's very difficult to win awards for comedy."

Whether it is the Palme d'Or or the Oscars, such film awards not only focus on box office performance, but also need to pay attention to the influence and artistry of the film.

Neither of them has any doubts about the box office. Naoki Nagayama has never made a movie that has not been a hit, and this has almost become a consensus in the industry.

But the social impact and artistic value of comedy are difficult.

Unless it's a romantic comedy or dark humor? It is indeed easy to win awards for praising love and reflecting reality, but Naoki Nagayama seems to be a children's comedy this time.

The two were discussing nonchalantly, and suddenly Matsuzawa Shinnosuke asked a little strangely:

"Maedori Shrine. Is there such a lively summer festival? I remember it was very clean before?"

"Otherwise Naoki Nagayama wouldn't have chosen this place as a filming location~" Shimoda Tomoya said with a smile, then turned to ask the priest serving at the nearby shrine, "This summer festival should be specially planned by the shrine, right?"

The priest looked confused:

"Huh? Isn't this hosted by the crew with you?"

"??"

A group of reporters came over and looked over, making the young priest a little nervous. Originally, the shrine was not big, and he was only caught as a part-time coolie. He was on duty at night.

"Didn't it say that a crew came to film a movie, so they gave the shrine a sum of money to rent the venue?" the young priest said, "Didn't that summer festival be set up by the crew? Aren't those people extras? ?”

"???!!!"

The reporters present immediately smelled the news and looked at the young priest with bright eyes.

At this time, Nagayama Naoki and his party, led by Takei Takehiko, arrived at the main hall of the shrine and saw a group of reporters surrounding the priest asking questions.

"." Naoki Nagayama fell silent for the third time tonight.

"Did we come at the wrong time?" However, as the biggest person in charge, he had to ask, "Everyone seems to be busy."

"No! You came just in time!"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke immediately threw away the young priest after seeing Naoki Nagayama. This is the one who knows everything!

"Naoki-san, is today's summer festival specially planned by the crew of "Kikujiro's Summer"?"

"Right." Now it's not the same~

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke continued to ask: "You actually held a summer festival just to take a shot?"

And looking at the level of excitement, it’s almost the same as a small or medium-sized summer festival in Tokyo! This is a third- and fourth-tier city like Hiratsuka City in Kanagawa.

"Hmm, that's right~" Naoki Nagayama answered hesitantly.

Other reporters asked: "Those tourists are ordinary people, not extras, right?"

"no."

"Why are so many people coming here? Naoki-san, are you promoting it nearby?"

".I'm not too sure about this either."

Generally speaking, a small city like Hiratsuka City will only hold one large summer festival in the summer, and it has already been held some time ago.

But this time Naoki Nagayama's crew revealed the news at a market that specializes in selling event supplies, and also invited many local vendors to set up stalls. How can there be secrets in a small city?

The news of this kind of secret summer festival made the nearby residents very curious. Curiosity leads to care, and care leads to action. In addition, it was Saturday, so they all came with their families to explore, but... I didn’t expect it would be really interesting here, so I called more people.

In the main hall of the shrine, Naoki Nagayama's answer made the reporters very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.

"Mina-san, we will start shooting the movie in a moment. Before that, you can interview our crew, but you can't interrupt us until we start shooting." Naoki Nagayama said to a group of reporters.

"Can we take photos then?" a reporter responded.

"Okay~" Anyway, it's just a shot of one scene, and it won't hurt if it's revealed.

So, when the crew started to set up the camera, reporters surrounded the creative team and started harassing them.

"Kitano Takeso, how was it like working with director Naoki Nagayama?"

"Ah, I'm very happy~" Kitano Takeshi smiled.

"Mr. Kitano Takeshi, can you tell us about the shooting process?"

“I was very happy while filming.”

"."

Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Takeshi Kitano is extremely familiar with reporters' questions. However, due to his somewhat sinister character, he will tease reporters when answering.

Some reporters caught Yuko Tanaka trying to escape:

"Miss Tanaka Yuko, don't you need to prepare?"

"No need, my role is over."

"Huh? Then why are you still on the set?"

".Because I have nothing to do, I came to relax with the crew."

"Relax?"

The reporter raised his voice. This was the first time he heard that actors would relax in the crew. You must know that the crew is a closed environment. Everyone is here to work. If you want to relax, shouldn't you leave?

"Hi, the filming process of this movie was very interesting. I visited many places with the crew. We even camped in Tianlong River a few days ago!"

“There’s actually camping?!”

The reporter was even more surprised. Are you here to film or to enjoy the scenery?

"Yes." Yuko Tanaka looked at the lively summer festival over there, Naoto Fujiki was a little anxious and said to the reporter, "Private Marseille, I want to go to the market before shooting. If there are still questions. If so, please ask other people."

After saying that, he took the young actor's hand and walked towards the crowd~

The reporter who was left behind looked confused. This was the first time he met an actor who dared to leave the media behind. I remember that Yuko Tanaka was not like this!

At other press conferences, when faced with annoying questions from reporters, he always had a gentle look on his face and answered them patiently.

Why did Naoki Nagayama become so naive and willful after filming the movie? ? ! !

Damn Naoki the playboy! Give me back the gentle Miss Tanaka!

As for Naoki Nagayama, after arranging the tasks for the rest of the crew, he was entangled by Shinnosuke Matsuzawa.

"Naoki-san, we are already so familiar. Please tell me the real relationship between you and Akina Nakamori! Are you dating? How far is it?"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke took advantage of the gap, grabbed Nagayama Naoki and asked,

"I promise not to report it!"

Nagayama Naoki looked at this guy who repeatedly found trouble for him when meeting reporters. He was blocked by him every time, but he kept fighting and never gave up at all.

"Come on! Turn off the recorder in your pocket first!!!"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke stiffened, and reluctantly took out the recording pen from his trouser pocket:

"How did you know?!"

"You guys, you have to find a good place to hide! Your thin pants are so bulging! Can you still carry a short knife in your pants?!"

"Okay. I took it out and can't record it~" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke took out the recorder and said helplessly, "Can Naoki-san tell me now? Where are you and Nakamori Akina?"

Nagayama Naoki shook his head and was not very optimistic about this guy's IQ:

"Also, take out the camera in your handbag! And the hidden camera? The tape recorder? What do you want to do?! Pretend to be 007?!"

"You don't even have a bug tied to your body!"

"How can it be repaired?"

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was shocked this time. The recorder in his pants was just a bait. How come the hidden camera in the briefcase was also discovered?

And didn’t the guy who sold it to me with a recorder strapped to his waist say he would never be discovered? !

"I said, Matsuzawa-san, why do you always keep an eye on my private life?" Nagayama Naoki looked helplessly at Matsuzawa Shinosuke. It seemed that this guy had been prying into his privacy from the first time.

"Can't you just ask me about the movie like other reporters?"

"What's the point of that!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said disdainfully. Now that he's been discovered, he doesn't want to pretend anymore. "I'm not the kind of kitten chasing a cat teaser! What I'm looking for is a public figure hiding in the sun. s things."

"Then you go to Matsuda Seiko to find out when she and Gohiromi broke up; you can also go to Kondo Masahiko to find out the story that has to be told between Johnny and the boy idol; if that doesn't work, you can still go and find out Is Momoe Yamaguchi’s married life happy? What do you want from me?”

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said very seriously: "Because Naoki-san is my lifelong enemy! I must find the true face of Naoki-san hidden behind!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the solemn guy in front of him and fell silent again. He had been silent a bit too much today.

The key is that this guy actually said such a silly line, which sounds very embarrassing!

"Matsuzawa-san, do you think that by saying 'lifelong enemy' or something like that, we will have a show of sympathy for each other, and then I will tell you all my privacy?!"

After hearing these words, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke's expression perked up and he showed a very expectant look.

"Hang Douni?" There is such a good thing?

"Get away from me!" Are you kidding me? !

"Hi"

After telling others that he directly wanted to find his privacy, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was already prepared to be kicked out, and at this time he quickly moved away.

I was thinking about asking other crew members, but suddenly I thought of what Nagayama Naoki just said.

"Seiko Matsuda, are you breaking up with Hiromi Go?! Aren't they planning to get married?!"

"There is a story between Kondo Masahiko and Johnny's? Are the rumors in the world true?! Is it true that Johnny's love for teenage idols...?"

"And Yamaguchi Momoe. Unhappy marriage?! Naoki Nagayama actually has any connection with Yamaguchi Momoe?!"

Only then did he realize that this interview actually left him three huge news clues! Every article can be a front page headline!

Is Naoki Nagayama a nice guy? !
