...

Looking at the plaque hanging on the gymnasium in front of him - showing the art of war - Nagayama Kaede showed a disgusted expression on his face, and turned back to his cousin Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki, this is really unnecessary..."

"This is really necessary!"

"I'm already this old, and this is a kendo gym that teaches elementary school students!"

"Just right for your level!"

"What a shame!"

"I'm not here to practice anyway!"

"I don't want to practice either!"

"If grandpa knows that you didn't perform the most handsome image of his youth, you know what will happen!"

"...."

Today Naoki Nagayama brought his cousin to a dojo that specializes in teaching kendo and asked Kaede Nagayama to come and learn it!

Because the film "Hayato: New World" to be filmed later was set in the Taisho period. At that time, young Yakuza gangsters were poor and had no connections, so they couldn't use guns... so most of them used guns that were readily available.

Sticks and the like, the leader can use a short knife or a broadsword...

In fact, just like the young and Dangerous boys in Hong Kong who like to use watermelon knives and steel water pipes, it has become a stereotype!

Although Kaede Nagayama is the third generation of Yakuza with a strong family background, the Nagayama-gumi was only a small and active social group when he was a child, and his grandfather and uncle did not arrange anything like kendo lessons.

This resulted in Yongshan Kaede having to rely on his instincts and impressions from some action movies to learn the exclusive secret boxing technique used by gangsters to scare people - the Eight Attacks of Scaring Techniques!

I have fought a lot, and at least I have some experience in Sanda and boxing... Fortunately, "Hot Blood High School" was just a brawl between teenage students, so I didn't show any timidity at that time.

"Brother Kaede, the school here is Satsuma Shower-ryu, which is very famous... very suitable for Yakuza..."

Nagayama Naoki patted Nagayama Kaede on the shoulder. The so-called Satsuma Gegenryu means that he will make a loud cry when attacking. He is best at slashing the large cassock from top to bottom (power splitting Huashan), pursuing a one-hit kill.

of lethality.

Because the strange scream is also called the monkey style... it is very violent and cruel... it is very practical and powerful! Therefore, it is the choice of many Yakuza and other extreme elements~

"You just need to learn some tricks, and you can be passable when shooting... It is also very useful to sharpen your gun before the battle! Of course, you can also learn more. I have made an appointment with a dedicated coach before coming back!"

After giving instructions to his cousin, Nagayama Naoki wanted to turn around and leave, because the strange screams coming from the gym were really unbearable... Nagayama Naoki didn't want to go in and pollute his ears.

.....

But at this time, a thick hand pressed on his shoulder, and then he heard Yongshan Feng say:

"Naoki! We are brothers and we have to face difficulties together! How can I be the only one to enjoy such a good opportunity!"

"Anyway, you have nothing to do recently, so why not come and study with me?"

"Brother Feng, where are you? I'm very busy!" Naoki Nagayama refused with a straight face, and wanted to take away Yongshan Kaede's arm, "I have to go back to the company now! I can go to the film festival activities

Don’t open!”

"Hehehe... very busy?"

Yongshan Feng didn't believe a word of it, but he knew that Yongshan Naoki slept until he woke up naturally during these days, wandered around in the afternoon, and went to nightclubs and KTVs in the evening!

He tightened his arms slightly and dragged Nagayama Naoki, shoulder to shoulder, towards the gym.

"Naoki, stop making excuses. I can't escape this class, and neither can you! As a director, if you don't have a deep understanding of the swordsmanship in the film, how can you shoot a good action scene?"

"...."

It actually makes sense!

Nagayama Naoki glanced at Brother Feng's side face. This guy who thinks with his muscles has actually become smarter. As expected, he was very impressed after three days of separation!

........

When the wooden partition door of the gym was opened, the noisy howling became even more obvious!

A group of students from ten to ten years old are practicing Su Zhen in the lobby, shouting with all their strength every time they swing; there are also slightly older students who are learning the stance, and they also have to shout every time they attack; even less

Several senior students were fighting each other, and naturally the dogs kept barking...

The drake voice in the voice-changing stage is already unpleasant, but these guys still roared at the top of their lungs, one after another, as if they were about to roar out of their lungs. These howls can be regarded as mental attacks!

The middle-aged instructor wearing a white coaching uniform saw someone coming in, got up and walked over:

"Are you guys?"

"We are here to study!" Naoki Nagayama stood up, "We called before..."

"Ah, it's you!"

The middle-aged coach's complexion obviously improved a lot. He had already received the instructions from the gym owner. He had to spend a lot of money to hire a high-end personal trainer. For one-on-one teaching, he only needed to learn the posture...

.

These days, kendo has almost no place for practice. Kendo gyms are only used for fitness or as interest classes. As a coach, he does not have the high profile of teaching killing skills in the past... You have to make money and eat.

~

So naturally I am very happy when I meet someone who has been taken advantage of!

"I'm Satsuma Kesenryu-Osho Neden-Takagi Katsuo!" Coach Takagi Katsuo extended his hand in a friendly manner, "I will be your future kendo coach!"

"First meeting, I am Kaede Nagayama/Naoki Nagayama..."

The two cousins ​​shook hands with Takagi Katsuo respectively.

Fortunately for Brother Kaede, he has not been famous for several years, but Nagayama Naoki is different. Takagi Katsuo opened his eyes wide when he shook hands.

"Are you... Naoki Nagayama?" Katsuo Takagi asked in surprise.

"If there is no other Naoki Nagayama, it should be me~" Naoki Nagayama smiled. He was already prepared for being recognized, but he didn't have many fans and wasn't worried about being onlookers.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's the 'playful Naoki'" Katsuo Takagi continued to ask as if he was confirming, "The one who fell in love with Akina Nakamori!"

"...."

As expected, someone now identifies her as Nakamori Akina's boyfriend! Sure enough, if your girlfriend is famous, you may have this kind of trouble... But judging by her age, Takagi Katsuo is probably not a fan of Akina.

"Hi, it's me!"

"It's really surprising!" Katsuo Takagi laughed, "Speaking of which, many of our students here are fans of Akina Nakamori... If they knew about Naoki Nagayama,

Come here to learn swordsmanship..."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the students in the gym lobby who were holding hardwood knives and howling and slashing hard into the air, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:

"Please also keep it a secret... If we practice, it's best to do it in a private place..."

"No problem!" Takagi Katsuo agreed in a polite manner. The tuition fees promised by Naoki Nagayama were too much, and he must serve him well. "No one usually comes to the backyard of the gym, so let's teach there!"

"That would be troublesome!"

"It's okay, but first, you need to change clothes..."

"Hi!"

The two of them followed Takagi Katsuo and walked towards the inside of the gym. The students on both sides looked over curiously, but they were all scolded by the senior students who were supervising them to stay focused and put all their energy on the sword in their hands...

..

Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede, who put on their kendo uniforms, began to receive individual tutoring from Katsuo Takagi in the backyard...

The money is indeed well spent!

.........

While Naoki Nagayama and the leading actors were preparing for "The Legend of Hayato", Kyū Kijima walked out of the editing room of the Shuyu Building.

They were followed by two junior directors, Souo Matsuo and Banyuki Nishimoto...

"Late Night Diner" has been filmed and edited, and even the broadcast has ended. Naturally, these two backup forces will move wherever necessary.

Now Shuyu's other manpower is at the Tokyo International Film Festival, and the only project being produced is Kijima Kyor's "101 Proposals", so naturally the two of them have to help!

"Arigado, Matsuo-kun, Nishimoto-kun..." Kijima Xu said gratefully, "You could also go to the film festival..."

"Haha, why are we going there to join in the fun!"

Souo Matsuo said with a smile that although he participated in the filming of "The Camera Don't Stop", everyone knew that it was Naoki Nagayama's credit. He was just lucky enough to participate in the movie... If it were any other

Others can also play his role!

So instead of joining forces at film festivals, it’s better to hone your skills in Shuyou’s other projects so that you can stand out on your own as soon as possible.

For example, Masataka Komori, the director of the film that opened the Tokyo International Film Festival, and Yuki Kijima, the director of several best-selling TV series, were promoted in this way!

In just a few years... he was promoted from camera boy to main director. This is one of the few examples that cannot be found in the entire neon film industry!

In the neon workplace culture that emphasizes seniority and seniority, it is not uncommon to have more than ten years of experience as a director's assistant... As long as your seniors don't give you a chance, you won't be able to get promoted...

However, Shuyou Pictures broke this convention!

Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Itou, Masataka Komori, Kyon Kijima... all rose from prominence to fame in just a few years under the eyes of the entertainment industry!
