010, the first house in my life, bought in the Showa era
Auditions for commercials are different from those in movies and TV shows, and do not require too many performance factors.
Yoshimura Otomo drove directly to a certain studio with Nagayama Naoki, where a group of people were taking pictures for a photo magazine. Several little girls were posing in provocative poses. Yoshimura Otomo stepped forward and asked: "Hello, may I ask Yi Tang?
Is the producer here?”
One of the field staff returned: "Otomo-kun, you are here, Producer Yitou is in the office."
"Arigado, I have brought a new advertising model and I would like to ask him to take a look. Can you do it now?"
"Okay, I'll go ask for instructions from Itou-san." The steward quickly walked to the backstage, and soon called Yoshimura Otomo over.
Nagayama Naoki stayed in the studio and watched the photo shoot with great interest. In the past, it was all in magazines, but he didn't expect to see the real-life version this time.
After a while, the floor manager came to invite Nagayama Naoki to the backstage again. The small door of the backstage office was ajar, and a voice could be heard saying: "Otomo-san, this is already the fifth one. If it's not appropriate anymore, please entrust me."
Fang is going to be angry~" "Xiu Yisang, I am absolutely confident this time. I believe that the model this time will definitely satisfy the client!"
Nagayama Naoki yelled "Excuse me" and then pushed open the door. A very artistic uncle with long hair and a mustache was complaining to Yoshimura Otomo.
Seeing the people arriving, Yoshimura Otomo introduced: "Naoki-kun, this is the advertising producer Itou Shuichi, who also works part-time as a director."
"Hi, this is the first time we meet. I'm Naoki Nagayama. Please take care of me~" He bowed honestly. Huh? It seems that he didn't bow at all when he met Yoshimura Otomo?
Itou Shuichi's eyes lit up when he saw the refreshing and handsome Nagayama Naoki. This different temperament from Showa was like a clear spring born in a rocky beach.
However, he is still well-informed in the photography industry, so he replied in a nonchalant manner: "Hi, Mr. Yongshan, it's our first time meeting~"
Then get straight to the point, "I heard Otomo-san say that you have never shot a commercial before?"
"Hi, this is the first time."
“So how can you guarantee a great soda commercial?”
How to guarantee? The responsibility is on my side? Nagayama Naoki noticed the producer in front of him of the concept of sneaky replacement. As expected, he is an old working man.
"As a newcomer, I can only promise to do my best in shooting commercials, and I have to rely on the rich experience of Yi Tangjun and stuff."
After testing Tai Chi Push Hands, both parties know the depth of practice.
"Nagayama-kun's image is very suitable for the needs of this advertisement. I implore Shuichi-san to give him a chance. He will not let you down." Regarding the year-end award, Yoshimura Otomo pushed forward with all his strength.
"Okay, since Otomo-san said so, let's start shooting samples tomorrow. Is there any problem with time, Nagayama-kun?"
“No problem, available anytime”
"Okay, please put in 200% of your efforts when the time comes. If you don't satisfy me, I won't send it to the client for review!"
"Hi!"
It can be seen from the conversation that Shui Itou actually approves of Naoki Nagayama's image, otherwise he would not readily agree to the filming. However, after being a producer for so long, he certainly knows that controlling the studio requires suppressing the employees and establishing authority.
...
Back in the car, Yoshimura Otomo breathed a sigh of relief. Having been in this industry for so long, he certainly knew the energy of producers in projects. Several previous models were actually beaten back by Itou Shuichi.
"Naoki-san, let's go to the office next and discuss the contract."
"Hey," Nagayama Naoki said in his heart, the most critical moment has finally come. However, the preliminary review has been passed. If no major problems occur, the advantage in the subsequent negotiations will be on our side.
The details of the discussion were very boring, and it was nothing more than a process of pushing and giving. But if the advantage was on Naoki Nagayama's side, it was just a difference between making more money or making more money.
In the end, Naoki Nagayama participated in the advertising shoot as a personal third party and did not need to participate in other work except shooting. The split with the agency was 3:7, which can be said to be very high. Generally, this ratio is used for hiring celebrities.
The total cost of this advertising project is around 20 million. In the end, it was about 6 million yen. One week makes as much as a migrant worker earns in a year~
.....
Naoki Nagayama was very busy for the next period of time. Without modern scenery and computer technology, most advertisements in the Showa era had to be shot on location.
The content of the advertisement is actually very simple. The protagonist plants a green plum tree, and after it grows into fruit, he picks a green plum and turns it into soda in his hand.
But it's December now...the green plum season has long passed.
Sure enough, the office is quite capable. It found green plum planting bases in different locations, and even found experimental varieties in greenhouses that were being produced by the Botanical Research Institute...
But if you want to take pictures, you have to run around.
Fortunately, all the shooting tasks were completed within half a month, and we just had to wait for the editing and review by the client.
During this period, Nagayama Naoki also took the time to deal with the real estate transaction. Because the full payment was made, the real estate certificate could be issued within 2 weeks.
The first house Naoki Nagayama bought in his life was actually in the Showa era.
...
The weather is getting cold!
Festive decorations began to appear on the streets, and people talking began to talk about the New Year's holiday.
In just over a week, Showa 55 will come to an end.
Yesterday, Keiko Fujita sent over the property certificate of the new house, and Naoki Nagayama planned to move in after cleaning it in the next two days.
"Makino-san, here is this month's rent." During lunch, Naoki Nagayama handed an envelope to Mrs. Makino, "The real estate certificate has been issued, and I may not continue to rent here."
"Ah, so fast?"
I had told Mrs. Makino about buying a house before. Mrs. Makino sighed a little, but she was more happy for Naoki Nagayama.
"Naoki-san is really amazing~ She has settled down at such a young age!"
"Thank you very much. Thank you Mrs. Makino for taking care of me for such a long time! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Where where..."
Wonta Nakai heard it next to him, "Nani Nani? Have you got it? Is the house beautiful? Can I go and play?"
"Of course, I was about to invite you? Let's play a cleaning game in the afternoon~ Hahaha." After getting along with each other for this period of time, the two have become good friends.
"What a shame~ Who wants to play a cleaning game with you~" Nakai Wonta complained, "You are a winner in life who bought a house at such a young age, but you are a naked duck."
"Who told you to spend all your money looking for a girl in Roppongi~" Nagayama Naoki replied, "Be careful of me and Suzumi-chan snitching, you hateful playboy!"
"No way, don't talk nonsense, I'm suing you for slander..." While denying the three times, he muttered in a low voice, "Obviously I haven't been there since I got Suzumi-san..."
In early December, Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino finally confirmed their relationship.
"Then you can also buy a house, just save the gift money!" Nagayama Naoki was puzzled.
"Why should I buy? Is it okay to rent a house? My job has not been settled yet, and I still need money for daily expenses~"
Young people from all over the world are indeed hedonists. Before housing prices rise, no one would want to buy a house. They will be forced to give up buying a house until housing prices rise to the point where they cannot afford it...
Finally, under Naoki Nagayama's "force", Wonta Nakai agreed to help clean up in the afternoon and took Suzumi Hoshino with him...
