Tokyo bubble life

"Otomo-san! I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much!"

When Naoki Nagayama returned to Tokyo, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he went directly to the Shuyu Building. Then when his subordinates went to the editing room to prepare, they came to Yoshimura Otomo's office.

Originally, Yoshimura Otomo was very happy to see Nagayama Naoki, but after hearing his slightly teasing words, he didn't know why, but he always felt offended again.

Then, his expression turned disgusting:

"Miss you? Shouldn't Naoki-san be happy and miss Shu in his hometown?!"

"Eh? How could it be? I was obviously working hard on filming "Midnight Diner" in my hometown!" Naoki Nagayama slumped down on the sofa. When he saw mint candies on the coffee table, he took one and ate it, "Every day After shooting reaches midnight!”

"." Yoshimura Otomo was even more disgusted, "Obviously we only start shooting at nine o'clock every day."

"You know all this?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised.

"Naoki-san, I am the head of Shuyou's headquarters in charge of Shuyou's work. I have eyes everywhere!" Otomo Fangcun showed a treacherous expression, "For example, I know that you left early last night to meet your daughter. Friends live in a world of two!"

"!!!"

Nagayama Naoki was a little frightened. Is this what Dongchang Jinyiwei is doing? ! Actually placing spies everywhere? !

But then I thought about it. TM Shuyou currently only has two editing rooms. The "Late Night Diner" program team must have communicated with Fangcun Otomo before coming back!

"Otomo-san, you are already very old, don't say some incomprehensible words!" Naoki Nagayama waved his hand and ignored this guy who wanted to see Naoki Nagayama's joke.

"whispering sound"

Yoshimura Otomo did not continue to say anything.

"Is this time just for editing the first few episodes of "Late Night Diner"?"

"Yeah~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "We'll see how well the late-night food program is received."

"There should be no problem~"

"Of course, who can say no to watching an episode of a TV show that makes you even hungrier when you're hungry late at night?!"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo had no choice but to change the subject and said:

"Speaking of which, you came back at just the right time. The rough cut of "Haijie Diary" is almost ready, and I want to make some preliminary promotional videos. Naoki-san comes back just in time to confirm it."

"Oh? Masataka-kun is very efficient!" Nagayama Naoki sat up straight, looking very interested.

"He has been living in the company with several trainee directors for more than a week!" Otomo Fangcun sighed, "Working day and night. If I hadn't gone to see him the day before yesterday, I might have to Sudden death~"

"." Nagayama Naoki was stunned for a moment, "There's no need to work so hard, right?!"

Yoshimura Otomo squinted: "According to Masataka-kun, Naoki-san, you said that if you can't finish it before the Tokyo Film Festival, you will make a movie by yourself within a month to replace the opening film of "Umi Street Diary"."

"this"

Nagayama Naoki was a little embarrassed and said it casually, but why did that guy Masataka take it seriously?

This kid is so honest!

How can I shoot one movie in a month?

Eh. It doesn’t seem impossible.

Just when Nagayama Naoki was thinking wildly, Yoshimura Otomo continued:

"Speaking of this matter, Naoki-san, you can't leave all the preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival to others, you have to do something yourself!"

"I"

Originally Naoki Nagayama wanted to say that he had made a lot of contributions, but when he saw the look in Yoshimura Otomo's eyes, he felt a little guilty.

"Um, is there anything I can do?"

"At present, there are not many foreign filmmakers. Naoki-san, please do more in this area!"

"Foreign filmmakers, no problem!"

I know Naoki Nagayama quite a lot, and we met him at least a few times at the Cannes Film Festival.

Although the relationship is mediocre, the film industry and the entertainment industry are similar. They all carry people in sedan chairs. Others with interests are afraid to say that they will help. However, there is no problem in participating in a film festival, being exposed, and being nominated. of.

After all, movie promotion and distribution costs a lot of money everywhere, and Neon’s movie market is so big that many movie companies want to take a bite!

"I'll call and invite them."

Nagayama Naoki had a flash of inspiration and thought that it was now the time for the fifth generation of mainland directors to come to the fore. It seemed that they could invite some people over this time. In addition, it seemed that Jackie Chan's new film had just been released.

Of course, these were just the thoughts in his mind. Naoki Nagayama did not elaborate on it with Yoshimura Otomo. After chatting in the office for a while, he went downstairs to the editing room.

Of course I have to go see the second-generation director of Shuyou first!

When I opened the door, I saw several people with slovenly beards and withered faces.

"Masataka-kun" Nagayama Naoki burst into tears, "Are you going to die soon?!"

Komori Masataka's cheek twitched slightly, but he still opened his mouth:

"Naoki-san, I think I can live for at least another fifty years."

"That's good, that's good. Over seventy is pretty good!" Naoki Nagayama nodded and patted the shoulders of everyone in the editing room, "Mina-san, you've worked hard these days!"

As soon as these words came out, several trainee directors felt warm in their hearts~

"This is what we should do!" "Dedicate yourself to the movie! Don't give up even if you die!" "This is an opportunity given by tree friends! How can you miss it!" "."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Naoki Nagayama looked at these next-generation directors with satisfaction, just like an old farmer looking at the leeks growing vigorously in the field, "You are all the pillars of Shuyou's future!!!"

"Hi!!!"

After a while of greetings, Naoki Nagayama chatted with Masataka Komori about the editing of "Umi Street Diary".

"The rough cut version of "Haijie Diary" is only roughly formed, and there are no problems with the story line. However, we still need to work hard on details and lens conversion! We will try many times for each shot to find the most suitable material."

Komori Masataka looked at Naoki Nagayama and became more and more envious of his confident editing skills, as if the original film was in his mind.

"Why is this so? Didn't you say that there is already a preliminary promotional clip?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Hey, we have indeed proposed some materials and made some clips." Masataka Komori directed his men, put the processed materials on the projector, and watched it with Naoki Nagayama.

On the small screen, the touching plots in "Haijie Diary" jumped out, including the funeral in the mountains, the half-sister, the struggles in family life, and the final reconciliation.

It is indeed the propaganda idea of ​​ordinary directors, picking out the most touching parts of the film

However, this is not Naoki Nagayama’s view. Having experienced the era of information explosion, he knows best how to catch other people’s attention at the first sight!

"Ahem!" Nagayama Naoki coughed twice to attract attention, "Masataka-kun's promotion like this won't attract people to the cinema, and the box office won't be a big hit!"

"???" Masataka Komori wondered, "Isn't this the selling point of the movie? If this doesn't attract people, then wouldn't it be this movie?"

The movie itself is not attractive. This is what Komori Masataka did not finish.

"The movie must be a good movie," Nagayama Naoki set the tone, "but it's useless if no one sees it."

"As director Masataka-kun, you still have a lot to learn!"

"???"

The directors in the editing room looked over in confusion, and Naoki Nagayama also did his part.

"Go and pick out the scene in the first scene where Chikako Aoyama gets up without clothes!"

"Then, go and put together the scene where Yuki Saito prays, the scene where Momoko Kikuchi drinks, and the scene where Rie Miyazawa blows the electric fan after taking a shower."

Under Naoki Nagayama's operation, all the specially-made clips of the heroines in "Umijie Diary" were selected, and then Naoki Nagayama warned with sincerity:

"Tell me, why did the audience come to see this movie?"

"Is it a warm emotion?" "Delicate family affection?" "Ordinary daily life?!" "."

"No, no, no! Isn't the relationship between middle-aged couples warm? Do you want to see the daily life of the construction site uncle?" Nagayama Naoki hit his head with a knife one by one, "We are here to see the heroine!!!"

"You're here to see the beauty of our four sisters!!!"

Komori Masataka retorted with some dissatisfaction: "Naoki-san, we are not an adult film!"

"Who said beauty is an adult film?!" Nagayama Naoki said sternly, "The pursuit of beauty is actually the yearning for beautiful things in the world!"

"???!!!"

The trainee director was shocked. Although he couldn't quite understand it, being able to talk about Lao Sepi in such a lofty manner has already made all the trainees stand up in admiration!

Nagayama Naoki said to Komori Masataka:

"We always have to attract people into the cinema first before they can discover the connotation of the movie!"

"."Okay, I'm convinced by you!

On the screen in the editing room, several materials that Naoki Nagayama mentioned before began to be played.

Chikako Aoyama's hot figure made the men present wide-eyed, Yuki Saito's slightly divine appearance made people yearn for it, Momoko Kikuchi was lively and sweet, and the moment Rie Miyazawa opened the bath towel, it really made people look forward to it. People want to crane their necks to look inside

Naoki Nagayama nodded. This was the fundamental reason why he was attracted to watch this show! ! !

He admitted that he was actually an old ** at heart!

Under his guidance, the preliminary promotional video of "Haijie Diary" began to stride forward in an unknown direction.

At this time, Nagayama Naoki himself walked into another editing room and started editing the first three episodes of "Midnight Diner"~

It was getting late, and the people who came to watch Akina Nakamori's performance slowly left the venue, but everyone was in shock.

Although the organizer prohibits bringing video recorders and cameras into the venue, and does not allow fans to take the performance scene out, the paparazzi who sneak into the venue will definitely not comply.

Some paparazzi who strive for excellence even use spy equipment, disguising their cameras as telescopes and taking photos while pretending to enjoy the show.

And today, she undoubtedly got her reward. The sapphire ring on Akina Nakamori's ring finger was clearly photographed!

"Nakamori Akina and Nagayama Naoki are engaged!"

This unquestionable headline has been firmly grasped by the paparazzi!

"Moses, Moses, is this the Asahi Shimbun?" After leaving the venue, the paparazzi went straight to the public phone booth and started calling major newspapers, "I have explosive news here!"

"Moses Moses. Is this the Mainichi Shimbun?" "Is Editor Jin Chang of the Yomiuri Shimbun here?" "Is this the editorial office of Tokyo Sports?"

At this time, the highly skilled reporter had secretly contacted the recording staff

"Sell me the videotape of Akina Nakamori admitting her engagement!" "I know you must have backed it up!" "The price is negotiable"

Then, the reporter began to contact his own TV station.

"Save me a spot in tonight's live show!!! I have important news to reveal!"

"What news? Tomorrow's front page headline!!! If you don't want it, I'll sell it to other TV stations!"

"What? Don't believe it?"

"I'm telling you, Akina Nakamori announced the engagement herself, and even showed her ring! What a big sapphire!"

"I've got the live video!"

"."

As the protagonist, Akina Nakamori was a little embarrassed after returning to the lounge. She wanted to apologize to others, but there was no sign of Fusaburo Akiko. Seeing

Ueda Maki sighed while packing her luggage:

"Akina-chan, ever since you said 'It's an engagement ring' on stage, Fang Ze-san ran out to make a phone call."

"Private Marseille!" Nakamori Akina clasped her hands together, looking for forgiveness, "I was so happy that I couldn't help it."

Ueda Maki looked at the ring that she didn't take off after leaving the stage and shook her head,

"It looks like it will be spread everywhere tonight if not tomorrow! Even if Akina-chan doesn't appear in front of the media, she can still occupy the entertainment headlines!"

"That can't be helped"

Nakamori Akina was even a little proud~

But this time the headlines will not have much impact on her. After all, she has already transformed into a pop singer, and there are no idols in the entertainment industry who can compete! ! !

Undoubtedly the idol queen, she is so confident!

While they were chatting, Akiko Fusako came in, looked at her own artist and sighed:

"Akina-chan has already reported the situation to Hanami-san. The agency will help to issue an announcement and appease the fans. It shouldn't have any impact~"

"Arigato~" Akina Nakamori thanked her obediently.

"Anyway, if you want to announce something like this next time, you should tell us in advance~"

".Private Marseille~"

Akina Nakamori immediately put her hands together and apologized sincerely.

But Akiko Fusako shook her head. Her idol apologized quickly, but he just didn't change.

"Tomorrow's morning newspaper should all have this news~"

"Akina-chan, you and Naoki Nagayama can't end it if you don't get married in the future~"

Akina Nakamori's eyes were full of determination:

"We will definitely get married!!"
