Tokyo Literary Godfather

But knowing that a lot of investment in the movie came from her, I kept silent. After all, I was the one who could attract investment.

"The Embalmer" was not personally supervised by Kei Fujiwara, and the subject matter does not seem to be pleasant. It is not as easy to attract investment as "Infernal Affairs". Raising investment is also one of the tasks of a producer. Sometimes Nakajima Nori is envious of Yui Mizuhara, the producer of "Infernal Affairs". A bunch of investors are waiting at the door with their money, and they are simply worried about having no money to film. .

But there is nothing we can do about it. What kind of relationship does this person have with President Fujiwara? What kind of relationship do we have? It’s useless to envy him.

So I stopped saying anything about Sato Mia being the heroine, but when Sato Mia actually joined the group, dissatisfaction did grow day by day.

Not to mention being squeamish, her acting skills are just that, and her nostrils are turned upward, even the male lead looks down on her, which greatly affects the unity of the group. The male protagonist also noticed her arrogance and contempt, and he also had a very opinion of her. A pair of people play the role of a loving couple, but they dislike each other. This also makes the two acting more or less separated, which makes people feel a little twisted.

And as time goes by, Miya Sato's various bad habits have become more apparent.

The first is being late, which Nakashima Norie hates. This is a very unprofessional and irresponsible behavior. If the director were to film your scene today, almost the whole team would have to wait for you. During the waiting time, the film producer will also calculate the time as working hours and pay wages.

It’s a loss for the film crew, and it’s not a good thing for the team members either. Because the company has strict requirements on the filming schedule, the scenes that were originally expected to be filmed today will have to be postponed if they cannot be filmed today. The filming may take place until one or two o'clock in the evening.

Nakajima Norie originally wanted to scold Mia Sato in public, but on that day, Ohno Nagaharu was also late.

Nakajima Nori was furious, but he had no choice but to swallow the curse words first. Because he wanted to maintain the authority of the supervisor, he couldn't say anything to him in public, but in private, Nakajima Norie made a special trip to Ohno Nagaharu, criticized his lateness, and explained the consequences and negative impact in a very detailed way. serious.

Ohno Nagaharu was originally a very thick-skinned person, but he was wronged by Nakajima Norie. He even said aggrievedly that he was late today because of a bad stomach, and he would never do it again in the future.

Although Ohno Nagaharu has a free and uninhibited personality, being late was a common occurrence for him in the past. Fujiwara Kei felt this the most. When he worked at Ono Bookstore, this guy would often stroll over slowly at noon. Let Fujiwara Kei stand at the door and wait all morning.

Later, Ohno Nagaharu gave the key directly to Fujiwara Kei, and from then on, he often arrived in the afternoon.

So it’s been almost a month since filming started, and I’ve only been late once. This is already a great improvement for Ohno Nagaharu...

The main reason is that Ohno Nagaharu is indeed very concerned about his first feature film. The workload has reached saturation, including shot creation, shooting, soundtrack, and post-production. He has to deal with almost every aspect. It is not that irresponsible. The workload was all delegated to the assistant director and producer supervision, so Nakajima didn't say much. Still focusing on Sato Mia.

Nakajima Norie finally found an opportunity to criticize Sato Mie for being late. Sato Mie was very unhappy, but she didn't say anything. After all, it was unreasonable. I promised right then and there that I would never be late again.

As a result, the next day, she was late for an hour and a half. Ohno Nagaharu was emotionally stable. At worst, he changed the original shooting plan and filmed the male protagonist's solo scene first. But Norie Nakajima was so angry with her that she went crazy.

I just promised that it would be like this the next day. What is the difference between this and intentional provocation?

After she joined the group, her entire face became horribly swollen, making it impossible to take pictures. Later I learned that she had gone to a wine party with President Nobi of Matsunichi Pictures yesterday and did not return to the hotel until early in the morning.

Ohno Nagaharu was also angry, but he only scolded him a few times. Nakajima Norie was very angry. He felt that this woman was just teasing the crew and didn't take their creators seriously at all.

So he scolded her severely in front of everyone.

It is common for directors and producers to scold actors in any country, and it is not just a Japanese characteristic. After all, unless there are special circumstances, the producer and director are the bosses of a crew.

Although Sato Miya brought money to join the crew, the entire crew does not rely on her, so the limelight cannot overwhelm the producers.

But Miya Sato didn’t think so.

Seeing Nakajima Norie scolding her in front of everyone, dozens of onlookers showed no intention of giving her any face. And the words she said were getting more and more unpleasant, more and more challenging Miya Sato's acceptance limit.

Just words like "no professionalism", "no ambition to be an actor", "lazy, willful and irresponsible".

Gradually, he started to say things like, "You are not worthy of being an artist at all, let alone an actor."

Miya Sato's face turned red and white with anger, and her hand holding the coffee cup began to tighten.

In fact, the fact that she is the lover of the president of Matsuri Pictures may still be a secret to the outside world, but within the entertainment industry, it is almost universally known. She is not ashamed of this, which involves the unique values ​​of the entertainment industry.

If you are supported by someone and have a sponsor behind you, this is not a shameful thing, but it proves your certain ability in the circle; but if you take some well-known artists in the circle without the consent of others, Hyping yourself up is a shameful thing that will lead to exclusion.

But even if they are not ashamed of it, it does not mean that it is an honorable thing, and most of the time they choose not to mention it. However, Nakajima Norie shouted out this matter in public. Sato Mia felt that he did it on purpose and just wanted to humiliate herself.

There are some things that everyone knows, but just can't say.

Norie Nakajima is not the kind of person who doesn't know the rules of the game. He was also angry for a moment. After saying the words, he calmed down a little and felt a little regretful. Seeing the way Sato Miya lowered her head and said nothing, she thought the other party also realized her mistake and sighed. Just as he was about to end scolding her, a cup of coffee with ice cubes was thrown at his face.

The iced coffee poured onto Nori Nakajima, chilling him from head to toe, and the ice cubes even made him feel dizzy.

Nakajima Norie didn't react, and even other people in the group were stunned, and the atmosphere fell into dead silence for a moment. After all, everyone has never experienced anything like this before.

Miya Sato was the first to react. After spilling a cup of coffee, she preemptively cried and shouted: "Mr. Nakajima, you are going too far!" and then ran away.

Nakajima Norie watched her enter the lounge, his face changed drastically, and he punched the table with his fist. "Asshole! What are you doing!"

Nakajima was furious and even raised his fists to chase him, but was stopped by other staff members.

On the way, Kei Fujiwara almost understood the general situation and was speechless all the way.

After arriving at the filming location of "The Embalmer", before he could walk in, a figure came out and held Kei Fujiwara's hand without saying a word: "Teacher Fujiwara, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, we are willing to do it." Do whatever you can to remedy the negative impact of this incident!"

Kei Fujiwara took a closer look and saw that it was Miya Sato's manager.
