Tokyo bubble life

"Mina-san! Did you have a good rest yesterday?! It must be good!"

"Then I have to work harder today!"

"Our shooting tasks are still very heavy~"

"."

If there is a book on "How to ruin someone's good mood for the whole day starting early in the morning", then this book must be written by Naoki Nagayama!

Naoki Nagayama, who came to the Kanagawa Hotel, said these words to the crew in the lobby in the morning!

Everyone who was eating breakfast had to cheer up and shouted in agreement:

"Hi~~"

If other bosses dared to do this, there might be employees secretly scolding them, but Naoki Nagayama gave him too much!

If you shoot a movie for a month, you can get a whole year's subsidy that other white-collar workers can get.

It is said that someone is short-handed and soft-spoken. How can anyone refute his words?

The weather was extremely hot, but the crew chose to walk along the rural road. After walking for a long time, they finally came across a field planted with taro and lotus.

Large tracts of taro and lotus grow in the ground, but they have broad leaves like lotus in the water. When standing on the field embankment and looking at the entire field, it is really like what the poem said, Tianlian leaves are infinitely green~

"This is it!" Nagayama Naoki found a roadside that was particularly close to his eyes and said to Kijima Xu, "Kishima-kun, I asked about the place where taro flowers are grown before, right?"

"The place is right here, and ten minutes later, there is the place where corn is grown."

"That's ok, let's just go here. Let the field manager talk to the farmer, and we can use his field to take some pictures, and maybe pick a few leaves." Nagayama Naoki explained clearly and explained. You can give some money.

It would be bad if you were surrounded by peasant uncles in the countryside~

After the negotiation was almost settled, Nagayama Naoki said to Kitano Takeshi:

"Kitano-san will film the scene of bathing on the roadside later, and then come out with lotus leaves on his head."

"."

Kitano Takeshi had a black line on his forehead. What does bathing on the roadside mean? Do you have such no shame? !

Just clean yourself up

Under the bright sun, the vast green crops made the entire crew feel a little cool in their eyes. With the help of the irrigation faucet, Takeshi changed and washed his clothes, and then led Masao through the fields.

Both of them had a large lotus leaf on their heads. When walking on the roadside, the chirping of cicadas came from not far away, as well as the cry of frogs. Masao's lotus leaf kept swaying with his footsteps, while Kikujiro It is very stable

Seeing this shot, Nagayama Naoki seems to have seen the best memory of summer~

"Click! That's it!" Naoki Nagayama, the photographer, said, "Great picture!"

"Todoroki?" Takeshi Kitano came over and looked at the playback on the director's monitor.

"Well, this picture is very good! I think it can be used as a movie poster!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Next, Kitano-san will take Masao to the fields for a while, and I will take some pictures as backup!"

"Hi!"

The next part of the filming also went smoothly, but when they were in the cornfield, breaking corn became the crew's interest. They are all urban people and have not tried it much. Everyone broke it with great enthusiasm.

If the money hadn't been given in advance, the farmer uncle standing by would have been extremely distressed.

For lunch, we had roasted corn.

In her new residence in Shizuoka, Nanako Nagayama watched the one-year-old weeds crawling around on Taro Taro's body. The doting in her eyes could not tell whether it was for her grandson or for the dog.

The white and fat Ying Tailang lay helplessly on the floor, letting the little meatballs of weeds crawl around on his body, treating himself as a toy, and there was nothing he could do if his saliva was smeared on his body.

Labrador itself is a very docile dog, and Taro is a weak chicken who can only purr after being bullied. Now facing the youngest of the Nagayama family, he can only use his eyes to ask Nanako Nagayama for help. .

"Xiangjia-chan, look at how happy Weeda and Taro are having fun!" Nagayama Nanako said to her daughter-in-law.

(Where did you see that you were having fun!)

Nozaki Kaka glanced at Yutaro with great sympathy. The one-year-old child was noisy at the time. Since he could crawl, he would explore everywhere energetically as long as he was awake. He had to be with someone to interact with him all the time, otherwise he would cry.

From this aspect, the arrival of Yotaro made Nozaki Kaka a lot more relaxed as a mother.

"Mom, is Taro Taro a little too fat?" Nozaki Kaka said looking at the bloated body of the dog.

"Yes. I usually feed him too much." Nagayama Nanako felt helpless, "Naoki said he wanted to take the dog out to exercise more, so he came to your place for a walk today."

"Well, it can indeed consume some energy." Nozaki Kaka brought herbal tea, "Where is Naoki now?"

"It's in the Shizuoka Prefecture area. I'm not very clear about the details. By the way, didn't the newspaper two days ago say it was in Kanagawa?" Naturally Nanako Nagayama also saw the report.

"That's very close~"

"Hmm~"

In fact, as long as they live separately and far apart, the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be much smaller, so the relationship between Nozaki Kaka and Nagayama Nanako is considered very good.

When the two women were chatting with each other, they inevitably mentioned the situation of the other children of the Yongshan family.

"Naoki and Tsuruko both have girlfriends, right?" Nozaki Kaka said, "Have you brought them back to see them?"

"Not yet~" Nagayama Nanako said, "Naoki is a celebrity, so he may have to be more cautious about relationships, but Tsuruko... she has just started dating."

"Is that so?" Nozaki Kaka's eyes rolled, "Mom, if Miss Akina Nakamori really comes to the house, what will you do?"

When Nagayama Nanako heard this, she looked a little nervous: "What should I do?! Isn't it just my daughter-in-law coming to visit her husband's house!"

"But he is a star after all~ Can he be the same as ordinary people?"

"What's the difference!" Nagayama Nanako said harshly, but in fact she also felt a little guilty.

She is an ordinary housewife herself, and her family only runs a izakaya. Although her uncle is a vicious Yakuza, it has basically nothing to do with her family. It is just an ordinary small town family.

She didn't even know how a proud man like Naoki Nagayama could appear in her family, and he actually had a celebrity's daughter-in-law-to-be.

Speaking of which, she would not feel guilty if she were the daughter of some consortium or the lady of a noble family. After all, she had no understanding or concept of that class.

If you are just a celebrity, that is what ordinary people see on TV every day!

Nozaki Kaka was still adding fuel to the fire: "Will she give a signed photo as a gift? How will her mother entertain her? What will she give as a gift in return? What should I do if we talk about music? Do you want to inquire about the gossip in the entertainment industry?"

Listening to these nonsensical words, Nagayama Nanako couldn't help but slap Nozaki Kaka on the forehead:

"You are already a mother, why are you still so immoral!"

"No way."

Nozaki Kōka rubbed her forehead, squatted down and picked up the weeds that crawled over: "Mom, haven't you thought about it?"

"I think I have thought about it. But even after thinking about it, I didn't use it. Naoki said that he might bring him over to meet at the end of the year. Let's talk about it then!" Nagayama Nanako touched Yutaro, who came with him, and decided not to think about it.

"Haha~ It's the end of the year~ I'm going to have a look then!"

"Do you still want to go there?"

"Of course, star!"

“Ah chirp~~”

Akina Nakamori, who was talked about by two people, sneezed backstage at the concert, which made Maki Ueda next to her very worried:

"Akina-chan, did you still catch a cold last night?"

"No." Nakamori Akina rubbed her nose, "How can you catch a cold when the weather is so hot!"

"Didn't you blow the night breeze for a long time?" Ueda Maki complained while testing the temperature of her artist's forehead, "I opened the window to let in the breeze because I couldn't get there right away. Are you a child?"

"."

Last night, I opened the window on the highway to let in the breeze. When Saitama arrived at the hotel, he felt a little dizzy. He didn't even make a call to Naoki Nagayama before taking a rest.

Thinking about this now, Nakamori Akina feels a little regretful. But according to Naoki-san, people always have emotional outbursts, and it is normal to do some willful things occasionally~

"So, I definitely don't have a cold! Someone must be thinking about me! Maybe it's Naoki-san!" There is a stubborn mouth on the white and tender face. I don't care what others say, anyway, someone must be thinking about me!

Ueda Maki curled her lips and decided to really leave her alone~

"The concert starts in half an hour! If you feel uncomfortable, I'll buy medicine right away."

"Stupid tape!"

After changing into singing clothes backstage and drinking a cup of Long Island ice tea, Akina Nakamori stepped onto the stage again.

"Mina-san, thank you for coming to my concert in such a hot weather!"

"Akina!!Akina!!!Akina!!!"

"Everyone, be careful of heatstroke~"

"Akina-chan! Arigado!"

Saitama's concert was the same as before, but Akina Nakamori's performance was even more exciting.

It was as if the entire stage was specially prepared for her, and the fans in the audience could easily arouse their emotions with simple interactions. The entire scene was extremely lively, and everyone's enthusiasm seemed to be inexhaustible.

"We'll see Naoki-san again in about a week, Gamba!"

Akina Nakamori thought so after the concert.

Unconsciously, the nationwide concert tour has reached the final stage. In another week, it will circle north of Tokyo and finally return to Tokyo. The last stop of the nationwide concert will be officially concluded.

On Naoki Nagayama's side, a group of people drove to Kamakura Oshima. It was too hot in the afternoon, so Naoki Nagayama gave the crew a few hours of leave, while he drove in Kamakura. Shop around.

"What are we doing here all of a sudden?" Tanaka Yuko in the passenger seat asked curiously.

"Some scenes need to be shot here~" Nagayama Naoki explained, "And there is a movie coming next that should be shot in Kamakura, so I came to explore the scenery in advance."

The main scene of "Ume Street Diary" is in Kamakura, and Naoki Nagayama also visited this place in advance.

"Naoki-san, you haven't finished this one yet, are you thinking about the next one?" Tanaka Yuko was surprised.

"Yes. Shuyou Films' movies will definitely come soon!" Naoki Nagayama once again emphasized the characteristics of Shuyu Films.

Tanaka Yuko thought for a long time, and finally sighed,

"Other directors spend half a year polishing their scripts and one or two years of meticulous work before they make a movie. Unlike your Shuyou Pictures, which only takes two or three months to make a movie!"

"When the time comes, all the theaters will be filled with movies made by your tree friends, and the order of the film market will be disrupted by you!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Yuko Tanaka next to him and thought for a while:

"Yuko-san, have you ever heard of the theater effect?"

"?"

"Everyone was watching a movie in the cinema. Suddenly a person stood up to see the movie clearly, blocking the view of the people behind. As a result, the audience behind had no choice but to stand up and watch. Slowly, everyone in the theater stood up. Get up."

Naoki Nagayama told Yuko Tanaka what the theater effect is.

"But at this time, shouldn't everyone let the first person sit down?" Tanaka Yuko was a little confused.

"But what about that person who doesn't listen?"

"Call the administrator!"

"There is no administrator or the administrator has no rights to manage~"

"this"

Naoki Nagayama said:

“In a fully competitive environment, one individual gains an advantage in some way, and soon other individuals must also gain the same advantage in this way.”

"Through fast-paced film shooting, Shuyou Pictures has absorbed huge profits from the industry, and it can be said that it has received a share of the huge profit pie of the film industry in the past two years, which is why it is famous now.

It is conceivable that in the future, more and more films will be produced soon. Other film studios will also produce more and more films, and they will not let our Shuyou family enjoy such a big cake alone. . "

Tanaka Yuko still shook his head:

"But this is unfair to other directors who use a long time! They spend two or three years carefully making their movies!"

Nagayama Naoki continued: "Hahaha, don't we make it carefully? Will the audience come to the theater to watch it because there are many movies? They will come to watch it because the movie is good!

Movies are ultimately judged by quality! "

"But what about those movies that require time? Movies like "Antarctic Story" were shot for one or two years." Tanaka Yuko asked still puzzled.

"The explosion in the number of movies can also expand the breadth of the entire industry and even drive the development of upstream and downstream industries. More and more people will watch movies, so every kind of movie has its audience. From this aspect, fast The movies being made are actually a trend.”

After Shuyou was reorganized into a group, one development direction was to build a shooting base. If there was a shooting base similar to Hollywood, and various studios were close to each other, then the speed of film production would be even faster.

Industrial film production, assembly line film shooting.

"."

Tanaka Yuko stopped talking. She always felt that what Nagayama Naoki said made sense, and she seemed to be convinced.

"Yuko-san, if you were the audience in those theaters, what would you do?" Naoki Nagayama suddenly returned to the theater effect he talked about before.

"Huh? Me?" Yuko Tanaka thought for a while, "I can probably stand up too."

"But there are some people in the theater who don't have to stand up!"

"?who?"

"The people sitting in the front row. Big studios like Toho and Toei, even if they slow down, they still produce hundreds of movies every year."

Naoki Nagayama said firmly,

"So we tree friends should speed up the pace of film production and become the ones sitting in the front row as soon as possible!"

He continued to look out the window at Kamakura, where "Umi Street Diary" was going to be filmed. This film was indeed a long one, filming the four seasons of Kamakura~
