...

It was midnight, and Nagayama Naoki, who had been busy for a long time, packed up the manuscript papers in the study and went to take a shower and go to bed.

I used my brain too much today...I'm really tired~

Nagayama Naoki, who was arranging his clothes, didn't notice that the hour and minute hands of the wall clock in the room slowly pointed to the 12 o'clock position, and a new day was about to begin...

"Dingling bell~~Dingling bell~~"

At this moment, the phone in the bedroom suddenly rang!

In the quiet environment, Nagayama Naoki was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell. The hairs on his arms suddenly stood up, and his whole body was awake...

Even Taro Taro in the bedroom suddenly jumped up...but at least he knew it was a phone, so he didn't howl.

"I chose this time specially..." Nagayama Naoki now knows how Tsuruko felt when he called his sister who had just watched "The Ring".

"It can't be a harassing call, right~" He picked up the phone and said tentatively, "Moses, Moses, this is Yamasakura-in~"

Only a whirring sound was heard from the microphone, and a few seconds later, an energetic voice rang:

"Naoki-san! Are you scared?!"

It turns out to be my quirky girlfriend~

"...Akina..." Nagayama Naoki sat on the edge of the bed and asked a little funny, "Are you trying to scare me? I'm the director of "The Ring"!"

In the apartment in Sumida District, Akina, who was sitting under the quilt in her pajamas, was a little unconvinced:

"Who says directors can't be afraid? Isn't there another director who was so frightened that he lost control?"

"Akina, don't whip Director Fukasaku out again... He's very pitiful~" Naoki Nagayama excused a certain director for a moment, and then asked, "Did Akina just get off work?

"

"Well, I just came back from rehearsing the Golden Songs of the Night on the big stage. I just took a shower and lay on the bed~I thought of Naoki-san~"

Huh?...Is it an illusion? Naoki Nagayama feels like his little girlfriend is seducing him?

I must have overused my brain today to think like this. My little girlfriend is obviously a pure little sheep!

"Really? I just took a shower~ I haven't had time to think about Akina yet~"

"Huh? Naoki-san, why are you so late today?"

The voice from the microphone was very strange. Normally at this time, Naoki Nagayama would have been reading bedtime novels in bed, right?

"Because I'm creating...writing the script for the movie~and the theme song and so on."

"Is it "April Story"?" Akina Nakamori asked, "Isn't that script already written?"

"It's a new script..." Naoki Nagayama said, "A script about a detective incident..."

"Huh?! Naoki-san actually doesn't write the script of a love movie?!" Akina's voice spoke up from the microphone.

A black line appeared on Naoki Nagayama's forehead: "Akina... Do you think I can only write love stories~"

"No...but the few novels Naoki-san wrote before and the movies he made are not related to the theme of detective reasoning. So I am a little curious this time." Akina in the apartment became obviously curious.

, "What kind of story is it? Naoki-san, tell me~"

"...It's a murder incident...I won't talk about it at night~"

"Silly tape!" Akina felt like she was wrapped in the quilt and not afraid of anything, "I want to know! Ounei should~"

"..."

What can I do? My girlfriend is begging~ Naoki Nagayama could only talk to Akina on the phone.

........

The next day. Photo studio.

"Naoki-san, didn't you sleep well yesterday? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki strangely.

"Ah, I really didn't sleep well..." Nagayama Naoki smiled bitterly. He was on the phone with Akina until two o'clock in the morning yesterday, and he had to come to the studio again this morning...

Itou Shuichi laughed at the side: "Haha, Naoki-san, young people still need to know how to exercise restraint!"

"..."

Forget it, ignore this LSP!

Yoshimura Otomo still said: "It doesn't matter now, but when I go to the Film Academy Awards Ceremony in the afternoon, I still need to put on a little makeup and let Reina-san help me~"

"Hey...Okay~"

After chatting for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou walked into the editing room again. The MV editing work that started yesterday is still in full swing.

"I called Mr. Machida Yaichi yesterday about the junior students coming for internship." Itou Xiu kept his hands on his hands, but turned his head and said to Naoki Nagayama, "They want it, the teacher said they want to choose

Just for a moment, you can come over next Monday at the most."

"Are you here?" Naoki Nagayama looked at this small editing room. The space was not even big enough.

"Of course not. Let them study here for a while before returning to school to make production." Shuichi Yido said, "I rented an operation classroom from the teacher..."

"Is that so? Can the machine there be used?"

"The editing itself is relatively simple, there is no problem." Itou Shuichi said, and then faced the people around him, "Kijima-kun, and everyone else, you will be the instructors from now on, and you will teach the intern college students, and then you will also have to take turns.

Tokyo University of the Arts supervised their editing!”

"Hi!" X3

The editing of the MV is actually quite simple once you become proficient in it. Based on finding similar materials, use an editing machine to roughly edit them, and then use a subtitle machine to add the lyrics to the screen. When copying, the subtitles of the short film will be added.

Already....

Since everything is done by hand, it is actually very time-consuming. Even for a skilled worker, it takes at least an hour or more to make a MV.

Nagayama Naoki is not a skilled worker, so he only completed the production of one MV in the whole morning.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After putting the master tape of the video tape away, Nagayama Naoki raised his head and stretched: "It's really troublesome~ There are almost 500 songs~"

Itou Shuichi smiled and said: "Fortunately it was not five years ago... At that time, we didn't even have these tools, let alone hand-made film movies with subtitles frame by frame."

"At that time... we didn't even have a karaoke machine!"

Nagayama Naoki sighed. You must know that the current technological development is changing day by day. Sometimes he feels that it has reached the level of the 20th century.

Itou Shuichi also put down the video tape in his hand: "Let's not talk about it for now, Naoki-san, we are going to the Academy Awards this afternoon. Do you want to change clothes?"

"No way..." Naoki Nagayama looked at what he was wearing, the cashmere sweater outside the white shirt. When the time came, he would take off the cashmere sweater and add a slim-fitting suit, which would make it very formal.

"It's so convenient to be handsome..." Itou Shuichi shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I still have to change. See you in the afternoon."

"Hi...."

In the studio, I had a work lunch with other people from the company, and after chatting and bonding, I waited for the arrival of makeup artist Mayu Rena.

"It's surprising that Naoki-san also needs make-up~" Mayu Rena said with a smile. Naoki Nagayama is obviously handsome and good-looking, so he looks very photogenic even without make-up.

"I didn't sleep well yesterday~" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "I just need to cover the dark circles under my eyes."

"Haha, that's very convenient." Mayu Rena took out the powder from her cosmetic bag, then put a little powder on it and patted it, "OK! Naoki-san really only needs a simple treatment~"

"..." It always felt like she was describing the ingredients.

.........

The Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony will be held in the afternoon and will be broadcast live nationwide.

Naoki Nagayama was not an award guest this year, so he only briefly participated in the rehearsal of the award-receiving process, and everything else was organized by the organizer.

To put it simply, he only needs to show up at the award ceremony today and get the award.

Arriving at the Prince Hotel in Tokyo again, Naoki Nagayama was no longer surprised. He always felt that this was the only banquet venue in Tokyo.

He found his seat according to his own seating chart, at a round table in the front row...but this table was already occupied by many people.

"Naoki-san, you're a little late." Itou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki greeted, "Come, let me introduce to you, this is..."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the middle-aged man with a fierce and rugged face next to him and exclaimed in a low voice: "Kitano Takeshi...san?"

"Oh? Do you know each other?" Yi Tang Xiuyi was a little surprised.

"No, I don't know him." Kitano Takeshi was sarcastic when talking about Mancai, but in normal times it was normal, "But now I know him! I am Kitano Takeshi."

"First time we meet, I am Naoki Nagayama."

Facing Kitano Takeshi, Nagayama Naoki felt a subtle sense of restraint, because he had snatched the other's future "That Summer, Sea of ​​Tranquility". At this time, it was like a third party facing someone else's husband...

..

"I have read a lot of Mr. Naoki's books, and "The Garden of Summer" is very touching." Takeshi Kitano said very familiarly, "I think if I get old, I might be like that old man.

, mean, withdrawn, slovenly...the last person to die."

"This...then let's do it differently..." Nagayama Naoki didn't know how to reply.

"Haha, Mr. Naoki...forget it, Naoki-san's words are very interesting." Takeshi Kitano didn't know what was going on. He looked very happy and immediately closed the distance. "Others would say no.

No such comfort..."
