.......

The "Summer of Kikujiro" film production reveal conference will be held in the banquet hall of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

I booked this hotel with a history of nearly a hundred years within two days. Watanabe Eiichiro said that he had some connections and it was true...but holding a disclosure meeting in a hotel like this, Shuyou's

The funds are indeed sufficient...

The doorman at the front entrance had already received the instructions and enthusiastically guided reporters and guests to the banquet hall. When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the hotel, he helped park the car with a wink and led Naoki Nagayama towards the venue.

"Mr. Nagayama, we're right here~" said the doorman in formal attire, "This door leads to the banquet hall, and the lounge is at the end of the corridor."

"Arigado~"

Naoki Nagayama did not go directly to the banquet hall. He just opened the door and took a look and found that Eiichiro Watanabe was already inside maintaining order among reporters.

It was originally just a film production reveal meeting. What people didn't expect was that in addition to film reporters, many other entertainment reporters and TV cameramen also came to the venue.

The microphone made the originally spacious small banquet hall a little crowded.

"Why are there so many people?"

Nagayama Naoki walked towards the lounge and saw Ochiai Yosoe here, as well as the leading actors Tanaka Yuko and Kitano Takeshi...

"Kitano-san...how did you..."

At this time, Kitano Takeshi was much thinner than before, his skin was two shades darker, and even the wrinkles on his face were much deeper... He looked ten years older in an instant.

"Ah, I went to the beach to sunbathe for a few days." Takeshi Kitano shook his hand, "I just didn't use sunscreen..."

"Didn't I say before that I wanted to be closer to the character? I even dyed a few white hairs...I feel a lot closer..."

Nagayama Naoki also had to nod: "Indeed...I am much older..."

"Kitano-san really paid a lot for this role!" Tanaka Yuko said from the side, "This is a good actor!"

"Haha, in fact, when I was studying the script these days, I found more and more that this movie has a deep connection with my life. The character of Kikujiro is very similar to my father... Oh, by the way, I

My father’s name is Kikujiro…although no one knows he is a painter…”

Takeshi Kitano seems to be very talkative about sex, "I can feel very familiar with all kinds of behaviors of Kikujiro in the script. There are shadows of the master Sensaburo Fukami teaching us in it, as well as Mancai's funnyness, and even the seaside scenes."

It’s also like a memory from my childhood..."

"If I hadn't known Naoki-san before, I would have thought this movie was based on my life!"

Listening to all this, Nagayama Naoki felt a little guilty...

There was a movie analysis in the past life, saying that "The Summer of Kikujiro" is Kitano Takeshi's reconciliation with his regrets in life... He gave himself a beautiful childhood memory in the movie...

"That's really a coincidence~" Nagayama Naoki could only try to keep his face calm, "The core of the movie is family love and childhood... Maybe everyone will have similar regrets when they were young..."

"That's right~" Takeshi Kitano laughed, "Anyway, I want to thank Naoki-san for inviting me to star this time~ I will definitely give my best!"

"Haha, I believe you..."

Nagayama Naoki opened his mouth and smiled a little awkwardly. He stole someone's movie and was thanked in person... He still wasn't thick-skinned enough!

After finishing speaking, he quickly changed the topic and asked Ochiai Kitae:

"Ji Zhi-chan, why are there so many media outlets for today's disclosure? I see that the banquet hall is almost full~"

Ochiai Yoshie also looked a little caught off guard:

"Originally we only invited a few film journalists, but after the reporters found out that it was Naoki-san's film, a lot more people came. In addition, there were also Ms. Yuko Tanaka and Mr. Takeshi Kitano...

.”

"So, you are here for me?"

Nagayama Naoki recalled, he didn’t do anything extraordinary this week?!

Tanaka Yuko smiled and said: "Naoki-san, have you not been interviewed since Miss Nakamori Akina's birthday?"

"Huh?! That was an incident more than a week ago. The heat must have passed long ago!" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised. Who in the entertainment industry can still remember last week's hot spots?

"Who knows~" Tanaka Yuko smiled but said nothing.

Naoki Nagayama suddenly fell into distress... If reporters still asked that question, how should he respond?

.......

In the banquet hall, many reporters were waiting for the appearance of Naoki Nagayama, Yuko Tanaka and Takeshi Kitano.

These three people, one is a scandal-ridden gold medal director, one is a national actor with a strong reputation, and the other is a famous comedian with a vicious tongue. Every interview of each of them can make the headlines of the news, let alone the three of them appearing together.

.

Especially Naoki Nagayama, this guy can't even be photographed by the paparazzi... The reporters are full of questions and want to get answers!

While waiting, the speakers in the banquet hall suddenly rang, and the brisk music melody attracted the ears of the crowd present.

After hearing this, Eiichiro Watanabe's expression tightened, and he immediately took the microphone and said:

"Mina-san, this song is the theme song of the movie "Summer". When the music ends, the "Summer of Kikujiro" film production disclosure meeting will officially begin. Please calm down..."

The brisk piano music surrounded the venue, as if every note was jumping and cheering for the arrival of summer... This piece of pure music left a deep impression on people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And there are already film reporters whispering...

"The movie hasn't even been shot yet, but the theme song has already been completed?"

"It's so cheerful, it's a comedy? Doesn't Naoki-san focus on making horror films and romance films?"

"...."

Originally, after Tanaka Yuko and Naoki Nagayama filmed "The Ring", everyone thought that he would make a horror film this time and invited Kitano Takeshi to join. Everyone thought it was more because of Kitano Takeshi's sinister image...

By the time the piano music ended, Nagayama Naoki and the other two people had already appeared on the stage that had been set up.

"Mina-san, our disclosure meeting has officially begun!" Since it was not a particularly formal stage, Eiichiro Watanabe directly acted as the host. "We welcome all friends from the media and reporters to come. Shuyou Pictures' third film this year

"Kikujiro's Summer" is about to start production, this is a..."

The opening remarks always need to be more official. After a few official words to promote the movie, it is the turn of the topic.

"Now I would like to invite the director of "The Summer of Kikujiro", Naoki Nagayama, to introduce this movie to you!"

Nagayama Naoki stepped forward and took the microphone, and the flashlights flashed rapidly... even more frequently than at the beginning.

He glanced at the reporters who were preparing to go and smiled:

"Summer is here, and everyone is becoming more enthusiastic~"

"I know you all have a lot of questions you want to ask...but today I will only answer questions related to the movie!"

Yes, Nagayama Naoki directly cut off the entertainment reporters' thoughts. Want him to answer other questions? Impossible!

As soon as these words came out, some reporters at the scene immediately protested:

"Naoki-san! How could this be possible!" "Journalists have the right to conduct interviews freely!" "You know what we want to know is not just about movies!"

However, Nagayama Naoki on the stage ignored him at all. Instead, he briefly introduced the plot of the movie and the invited actors...

"I have collaborated with Yuko-san once, and I am very honored to invite Yuko-san again this time... and Kitano-san, we met at the Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony..."

"...The lead actor in the movie is a young actor, so he didn't come here today, but you can see him when you visit the filming set later...Okay, what do you have?

If you have any questions, you can raise your hand to ask..."

"But again, I will only answer questions related to the movie!"

Nagayama Naoki finally started giving interviews~

Among them, the real film journalists raised their hands very enthusiastically and asked questions:

"Director Yongshan, why do you want to make a comedy this time? This is not a subject you are good at!"

"..." Nagayama Naoki smiled, "I don't have any subject matter that I'm good at. It's my first time to make a movie about any subject~"

"The first film I made will win a Blue Ribbon Award and a Film Academy Award..." the reporter then asked, "Is your goal this time an Oscar or a Palme d'Or?"

"Well...it's too early to think about that~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Hahaha, if I can decide, then of course I want to win both awards~"

So, the reporter below wrote down the headline of today's headline - "Naoki Nagayama said: The new movie will win both the Oscar and the Palme d'Or!"

"Miss Tanaka Yuko, how do you feel about working with Director Nagayama again?" This is a request...

"Naoki-san is a very talented director. I learned a lot during the last filming, so I am very happy to work with him again this time..." the elder sister replied with great aura.

"My happy mood, does it have anything to do with director Yongshan's good looks?" I don't know where I inserted the sentence.

However, jokes of this level are just trivial to actors in the entertainment industry of this era.

Tanaka Yuko replied very calmly:

"Of course it does! Seeing such a handsome guy every day will certainly make you feel good!"

Ho ho ho~~ The reporters laughed in agreement.

"Mr. Kitano Takeshi, is this your second time filming a movie? Are you nervous about shooting this movie?" Another film reporter asked Kitano Takeshi.

"Of course I'm nervous! I'm so nervous!" Takeshi Kitano looked very serious, "I was so nervous that I couldn't eat for several days, and I lost five kilograms! Look, my white hair is coming out!"
