Tokyo bubble life

Taking advantage of the favorable spring weather, Nagayama Naoki brought the crew of "Don't Stop the Camera" to Ota Ward. Today we are going to visit the studio~

"Naoki-san!"

It was Ishikawa Katsura who was still waiting for them at the entrance of the park.

"Katsura-kun~" After parking the car, Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "Let's go there now~"

"Hi!"

Because he had been notified in advance, Ishikawa Katsura had already prepared the keys and other items, and without too much greeting, he led a group of people towards the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the town.

"I have already found the manufacturer and signed a contract. The rest inside are basically discarded products. The person who manages the assets said that as long as the house does not collapse, it will be fine."

As he walked, Ishikawa Katsura talked about the preparations he had made before.

"We also hired some helpers from the town to clean and disinfect the factory a little bit."

Nagayama Naoki subconsciously asked: "Katsura-kun, you didn't destroy the abandoned scene, did you? That's the kind of scene that I took a fancy to when shooting the movie."

I made the dumplings just for the vinegar!

"of course not!"

Ishikawa Katsura immediately assured that he was responsible for setting up the scenes at the original shooting base. Of course he knew the importance of these scenes.

"I just sprayed insect repellent and checked whether there was any risk of collapse. We still entered through the gate."

"That's good."

Nagayama Naoki nodded and quickened his pace a little, but he still had to see it with his own eyes.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at the factory area on the outskirts of town.

It is spring, the weeds are growing more and more luxuriantly, and the whole factory is filled with vigorous vitality; in the middle of the green, the steel and concrete factory buildings are filled with traces of wind and rain, the walls are mottled and broken, and there are still plants climbing in the shade at the corners. Thick moss; walking further inside, the gray cement is covered with dust. In the original dye pit, the remaining pigments hang on the walls like abstract paintings.

Smelling the faint scent of medicine in the air, Nagayama Naoki was very satisfied that the environment here had not changed.

"Sosei-kun." Naoki Nagayama turned around and called to the young director, "First, we will take the crew to have a good tour of the factory and the surrounding area. Once everyone is familiar with it, we will start practicing the relevant positions according to the script."

"Hi!"

Matsuo Sosei nodded in agreement, and then began to invite everyone to join him.

The lead actor and director of the TV series "Don't Stop the Camera" have the same role, so Naoki Nagayama began to train Souo Matsuo to direct others very early, and also asked the crew to confirm his role in the crew.

After seeing everyone disperse, Nagayama Naoki pulled Ishikawa Katsura aside.

"Katsura-kun, the doctor has been contacted as well, right?"

"Hi, we have hired a rescue vehicle," Ishikawa Katsura replied seriously, "For simple injuries, there is a medical room in the park. If you are seriously injured, go directly to the district hospital."

"Well, that's fine~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the crew again, "From today on, the crew should all be here, and I'll leave the logistics and accommodation to Katsura-kun!"

"This is my job!"

Ishikawa Katsura quickly assured that as the director of the park, he should serve the crew who came to shoot well~

In Shuyou's studio, Itou Shuichi returned to the office for the rare occasion.

"Shuichi-san has been working very hard recently~" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, "How is the construction of the new studio going?"

Itou Shuichi drank a glass of cold water:

"At present, only one venue is completely completed, and the others are still under construction."

"Eh? Didn't you say that it only needs a simple decoration?" Otomo Yoshimura asked. He had also read the script of "Squid Game" and knew that each game corresponds to a scene.

There are dormitories, wooden figures, candies, tug-of-war, marbles and other scenes, and there are almost seven or eight rooms.

"Originally we thought that was the case." Itou Shuichi smiled bitterly, "But when we actually arranged it, we found that the scene required for some rooms was too big. We had to rent an indoor stadium."

In other words, some dramas even need to be filmed in other places.

"That's it, there's nothing we can do about it." Yoshimura Otomo gave a symbolic comfort. Anyway, as long as it's within the budget, Ido Shuichi can spend whatever he wants~

After the two chatted for a while, Itou Shuichi suddenly remembered Naoki Nagayama:

"Won't Naoki-san come to the meeting with Kadokawa today?"

Today is the day to reconcile accounts with Kadokawa Group, and Yoshimura Otomo is already ready. Although there is exchange of reports every month, it is an important moment once a year and is still very grand.

Therefore, Itou Shuichi, Nagayama Naoki, including himself, should all be present, and Kadokawa Haruki from the opposite side will naturally come as well.

"Naoki-san went to Ota District in the morning, and I just missed Shuichi-san~" Otomo Yoshimura explained, "But I expect to arrive in the afternoon. He also said that it was not easy to start shooting for his movie in the early stage."

"Is that so~" Itou Shuichi took out a cigarette and started smoking, with a very melancholy expression on his face, "Naoki-san doesn't take me to participate in any creative movies~"

This sentence is like a child saying something delicious but not taking me to eat it~

"Who said that, I participated in "April Story"!" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, "Naoki-san values ​​Shuichi-san's ability and thinks that you can completely stand alone, so I can't bear to disturb you."

"Oh? He told you that?" Itou Shuichi asked happily.

Yoshimura Otomo's face remained unchanged and he said smoothly: "Of course, Naoki-san always praises you when you are not around!"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san really does have a good sense!"

Seeing his friends smiling, Fangcun Dayou sighed in his heart. One or two of them looked like children. This tree friends group would have to break up sooner or later without me!

Looking at the green grassland, Naoki Nagayama suddenly had an idea:

"We should bring Taro Taro here. He should be very happy in such a big place~"

This dog used to be able to have fun in the large courtyard of Yamasakura-in, but now it's on the flat floor and can only stay in the room all day long.

Although I take him out for a walk every day, for a big dog, a room of hundreds of square meters is still too cramped~

At this time, noisy sounds came from the factory, attracting Naoki Nagayama's attention.

"Mihuna-chan, stand here. When you go out later, be the first one."

"Akiyama Feisa and Katagiri Ayuki are following the team closely, and they must show their nervousness and scream when the time comes."

"Actors who play zombies don't need to move too much, but they need to feel stiff."

"."

Matsuo Souo was like a butler who cared about everything, detailing the actions of each team member and the details of the next performance.

This young man, who was directing for the first time, was in a hurry and wanted to finish all the precautions at once, completely ignoring whether others would accept it~

After listening to it for a long time, Feisha Qiuyama felt a buzzing in her head. She had a strong personality and said it directly:

"Matsuo-san, you talked too much, we can't even remember it!"

"How could it be? These are all very simple. They are carried out according to the requirements of the script." Matsuo Souo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Well, I will explain it to you again."

As he said this, Tang Seng’s ramblings came again.

"Stop!" Akiyama Feisha continued, "There are too many things to pay attention to. Even if Matsuo-san says it again, he won't be able to remember it!"

Matsuo Souo immediately became a little impatient:

"But these are the key points of the next rehearsal! We can't make any mistakes!"

"There's nothing we can do about it." "It's really difficult." "Who can remember so much at once!" "." The rest of the crew also began to complain.

Anxious Matsuo Sosei's face turned red and he spoke more words, as if he was about to quarrel with the crew.

Nagayama Naoki quietly walked behind the guy holding another camera and asked:

"How's it going? The cameras are always working, right?"

"Hi" Koaki Sakata, who was specially borrowed, nodded, "I took pictures of everything!"

Although he doesn't have Kijima Kyor's "superpower" that people can ignore, Sakata Koaki has been following Kijima Kyor for so long, and he has learned a lot of ways to reduce his attention.

He serves as the second lens in this crew, specifically recording the entire production process in an unobtrusive way~

Haha, rehearsing? discuss? Are you ready to start shooting?

In fact, the real filming has already started! ! !

In the play-within-a-play format, even Nagayama Naoki himself will be recorded!

In this wave, Naoki Nagayama stood in the atmosphere!

"Ahem, Sosei-kun~" Nagayama Naoki walked into the camera, "Why are you arguing?"

"Ah, Naoki-san!" "Naoki-san gave too many orders!" "I can't remember them all at once."

The crew members began to complain in various directions, making Matsuo Souo's face redden. He felt embarrassed!

After listening to everyone's appeals, Naoki Nagayama nodded and motioned for them to rest for a while, and then found Souo Matsuo alone:

"Is it difficult for Mr. Zongsheng to coordinate multiple people?"

"Ah, Naoki-san does have some difficulties," Matsuo Souo wiped his face, "But I will work harder to communicate with everyone, and everyone will understand in the end!"

"Yeah, but it requires some skills." Nagayama Naoki played the role of a close brother and enlightened Matsuo Souo, "You are too anxious today. We have a month of rehearsal time, so we can start with small steps."

"??"

"For example, today I will take the crew to familiarize themselves with the shooting route and walk it several times. In the end, I will know which way to go without having to think about it." Naoki Nagayama slowly guided the young man, "As for expressions and positions, , lines and so on, we’ll talk about it later.”

Matsuo Sosei thought for a moment and nodded:

"Hey, I got it!"

Nagayama Naoki nodded and continued to encourage:

"Dad Ganba, Zong Shengjun, I am very optimistic about you!"

"Hi!"

Souo Matsuo immediately became full of energy again~

Of course, this enlightening scene was also recorded by Koaki Sakata’s camera.

We had a crew lunch in an abandoned factory, surrounded by wild grass, as if we were camping, and the relationship between everyone gradually became much more harmonious~

Naturally, Nagayama Naoki will not stay in Ota District all day. As the real person in charge, he naturally has privileges.

In the afternoon, he drove back to Shuyou's studio company for an important meeting!

"Naoki-san!" Xing Jiahua was wearing a dignified little suit. When she saw Naoki Nagayama walking in, she quickly came over to lead the way. "The people from Kadokawa have arrived and are in the reception room. Shuichi-san and Otomo-san are accompanying them. chat."

"Well, I understand~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and said to her, "Hana-chan, make me a cup of coffee and bring it to the conference room. I want to refresh myself."

"Hi!"

Nagayama Naoki walked to the door of the reception room, opened the door and walked in. Sure enough, he saw four or five guys in suits and glasses drinking tea, and there was also a guy in a casual suit who was having sex with Shuichi Itou. Fangcun Dayou chatted.

"Haruki-san! Long time no see!" Naoki Nagayama said hello to Haruki Kadokawa.

"Ah, Naoki-san is back~" Kadokawa Haruki had a bright smile on his face, "Naoki-san is really a busy man now. We haven't gone to the club together for so long!"

"Ha, there are a lot of trivial things at home recently. The place where I live is being renovated, I am moving and I am working."

Naoki Nagayama was chatting with Haruki Kadokawa about their lives during this period of time, and the atmosphere in the reception room was very harmonious and pleasant.

After chatting with them for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Yoshimura Otomo said:

"Now that everyone is here, let's go to the conference room~"

"Ah, yes, let's get the business done first." Haruki Kadokawa followed suit, stood up and walked outside, "Then we'll talk about where to go to have fun!"

"Of course."

Everyone walked out of the reception room with a smile and came to the conference room not far away. The relevant documents and reports were already placed on the table, and the accountant brought by Kadokawa Haruki also began to review them carefully.

In fact, everyone knows that this is just for show~

If there is really a financial problem, how could it be found in a short period of time? There must be an audit team stationed in the company several months in advance to verify all accounts.

Besides, according to the current relationship between Shuyu and Kadokawa, there is no need to engage in such small tricks.

During the verification by professionals, Naoki Nagayama and Haruki Kadokawa just changed places to chat.

"Naoki-san, what movie are you filming now?" Kadokawa Haruki asked teasingly, "Didn't I hear that you wrote a book called "Paradise Lost"? Are you filming an adaptation of this novel?"

"Ah! Please let me go, Haruki-san~" Nagayama Naoki covered his face, "I was obviously anonymous in that novel, but I was still found!"

"Haha, who made Naoki-san write so vividly and vividly?" How could Kadokawa Haruki let it go, "If it were an ordinary Xiao Huangshu, people wouldn't ask for the root cause. Your novel has already been published in many circles. It’s spread~”

"Alas" Nagayama Naoki could only sigh, "I can just read novels, why should I find the author?"

Itou Shuichi interjected:

"Haruki-san, don't you know, this guy Naoki is hiding it from both of us!"

Yoshimura Otomo also inserted the knife:

"Yeah, you were pretending to discuss the plot with us before!"

"Hahaha, there is such a thing?!"

Kadokawa Haruki laughed happily, and the chat between the few of them became more and more enjoyable!

The staff who were conducting the review had to endure the chatter and laughter of several people nearby, but they still had to concentrate on their work. It was so helpless to be a worker!

An hour passed in a flash. Kadokawa Haruki took a look at the verification results of other staff and expressed that he was very satisfied with Shuyou's profit last year and that his investment had received a satisfactory return.

Shuyou is also very satisfied. Next, he will ask the accounting firm to edit the financial statements and file tax returns~

"Haruki-san" Itou Shuichi mentioned it in the subsequent chat, "Naoki-san is currently competing for the Palme d'Or. Do you think it's safe?"

Kadokawa Haruki looked at Nagayama Naoki and then at Itou Shuichi:

"'Summer of Kikujiro' has no doubt the ability to win awards. And recently, I often hear voices of support from the industry. It should be Shuichi-san's credit, right?"

"I just asked my teacher and some friends to help recommend this movie."

Itou Shuichi smiled. During this time, he didn't just talk. He talked on the phone during the day, drank at night, and gave gifts to people he had friendship with on the weekends.

Nagayama Naoki also asked old friends he knew for help. In addition, Yoshimura Otomo even asked foreign lobbying groups.

"With all your efforts, I think the chance of winning is at least 50-60%!" Kadokawa Haruki said with a smile, "This is already very rare!"

Itou Shuichi shook his head: "It's still a little lacking. We hope to have more certainty."

Yoshimura Otomo also chimed in: "Haruki-san, can Kadokawa Pictures help us with this matter?"

"Well"

Haruki Kadokawa thought about it. Kadokawa supported Naoki Nagayama in the Oscar selection before, but he could only get one nomination. A lot of connections were used that time.

If you help for free this time, it seems like you will be at a disadvantage, even though the tree friend has made a lot of money by helping.

Seeing Kadokawa Haruki looking a little embarrassed, Nagayama Naoki did not continue to urge him, but instead talked about other things.

"Haruki-san, don't you think it's strange that an international city as big as Tokyo, which has the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival among the international film awards, doesn't have its own film festival?"

"?" Kadokawa Haruki was surprised, "Don't there be blue ribbons and film academy awards in Tokyo?"

"That's a local film award, I mean an international film festival," Naoki Nagayama said, "Even Yokohama has the Yokohama Film Festival~"

"."

Having said this, Kadokawa Haruki also understood something.

"Naoki-san, do you want it?"

"Yes, I wonder if Haruki-san is interested. I want to launch a Tokyo Film Festival, focusing on cutting-edge films and young film directors."

Naoki Nagayama expressed his thoughts on the Tokyo Film Festival, including the international impact it would have if it was successfully held, as well as the impact on film history, which made Kadokawa Haruki's eyes sparkle.

"Haruki-san, do you want to be a co-sponsor?"

"Me?"

Haruki Kadokawa's heart was moved. If the Tokyo Film Festival was truly successful and continued, then as a co-sponsor, his reputation would also be recorded!

Even if it was just one sentence, it would be a historical name. All Eastern cultures pursue a name after death!

It seemed as if there was a fragrant pancake in front of him, and Haruki Kadokawa could only feel his saliva constantly secreting. This pancake was so fragrant!
