1019, you have never seen a real life-stricken person!!!
...
When Nagayama Naoki saw Suzuki Honami in the conference room the next day, he was a little confused.
The speed of the entertainment industry is also too fast. I called last night to inform her that I might have found the heroine, but today I actually brought her here directly.
"First meeting, I am Suzuki Honami's manager Tokunaga Morimichi..."
"First meeting..."
The manager, who seemed to be very smooth, introduced his own artists to Naoki Nagayama very diligently, as if he was promoting discounted products.
"After Honami-chan won the Newcomer Award from Hori Productions, she has been actively polishing her acting skills in various movies. She is now a mature actor... I believe she can definitely meet the requirements of Director Nagayama!"
"If Director Yongshan has any questions about his acting skills, he can improvise..."
"...."
Looking at the slightly reserved girl next to him and the eager manager... Naoki Nagayama felt that if necessary, he was the kind of guy who would persuade or even encourage artists to accept pillow business!
In fact, I don’t blame him for being so diligent...
In fact, Suzuki Honami is very different from the current heroines of Yamato Nadeshiko. After winning the Newcomer Award and signing a contract to debut, she was tepid for two years.
This time I got news from Shuyu Pictures and learned that she was the heroine of Naoki Nagayama's new film. When Hori Production's agent learned the news, she immediately sent her to Shuyu.
He turned around and looked at Itou Shuichi, Komori Masataka and Inada Masamin. They were all observing the candidate carefully.
I want to see if it looks like something out of a comic...
However, Suzuki Honami, who is a bit reserved now, can only be seen as a beautiful actress, with a slightly longer appearance with a hint of heroism. She is very distinctive but not to the extent that she looks like she stepped out of a manga.
"Then...Ms. Suzuki, please try to act out this plot..."
Nagayama Naoki chose the first scene from the script, which is the scene where Akana Rika picks up Nagao Kanji at the airport.
He also really wants to see how Suzuki Honami's acting skills are now. After all, Akana Rika is a 26-year-old urban working girl in the setting, and Suzuki Honami has just turned 20.
"Hi!"
After all, Suzuki Honami has been polished in the entertainment industry. She quickly adjusted her mind and picked up the script to read it.
A few minutes later, Nagayama Naoki shouted "action" in cooperation...
I saw Suzuki Honami holding this piece of paper above her head like a sign, and shouted in the conference room as if she was looking for someone:
"Wanji? Nagao Wanji? Wanji?"
Nagayama Naoki gave Komori Masataka a look. Of course he was familiar with the script and immediately cooperated:
"Hi, this is me~"
"Are you Maruko-kun?"
"No, I am Nagao Kanji..."
"If you are here, answer immediately!" Akana Rika, now played by Suzuki Honami, said, "I am Akana Rika from the business department..."
Even when he was speaking, he still had a bright smile on his face, his eyes were squinting like the moon, and his powerful contagiousness made the entire conference room feel happy.
Sure enough, when Suzuki Honami smiles, she can make everyone feel full of energy!
And the little expression that was half coquettish and half complaining touched the hearts of all the judges!
"Is this all the luggage?"
"Um..."
"Then let's go quickly, we have to go to the warehouse to move goods! Follow me!"
After finishing her lines, Suzuki Honami showed a somewhat uneasy expression and looked at the two great directors Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou.
"Well..." Itou Shuichi had to admit, "The smile is indeed very contagious... If you see it for the first time, you will definitely be impressed~"
Komori Masataka also expressed his approval:
"My line skills and facial expressions are also very good..."
Nagayama Naoki has always recognized Suzuki Honami, but now that he sees her, he feels that there is a gap between her image in future TV series.
"There is no problem with the most important trait..." Naoki Nagayama commented on the girl's performance, "But Honami-chan, she needs to change her makeup and look a little more mature... Akana Rika is a mature woman in the workplace.
female...."
The current Suzuki Honami has the look of a childish girl, a little too young.
"Also...Honami-chan, have you watched "Tokyo Love Story"?"
"This...not yet..."
After struggling for a while, Suzuki Honami answered honestly, making the manager Tokunaga Morimichi next to him wink anxiously... How could an artist be so straightforward and directly say that he had seen it? What's wrong?!
"Ha, that's it..."
Nagayama Naoki did not think that all girls were fans of his books. He stood up and handed over the novel that was included with the script:
"But if you want to play the role of this heroine well, you still need to read this novel several times!"
"???"
Suzuki Honami opened her eyes wide,
"Yongshan-san, what do you mean?"
"Ah...yes, Honami-chan, you have been chosen!" Naoki Nagayama stretched out his hand, "I hope we can cooperate well in the future!"
"!!!"
Suzuki Honami felt her head buzzing... She held her hand purely by instinct.
I was pulled over by my manager early in the morning, and I found out halfway through that I was going to audition for Shuyou's new TV series. When I got here, I saw that it was Naoki Nagayama's new TV series, and I didn't know the role I was going to audition for ten minutes ago...
And then you tell me that I've been chosen?!
Are you actually going to participate in the filming of Naoki Nagayama’s new drama?!!
This...I haven't brushed my teeth in the morning!
After a simple audition, Masami Inada sent Morimichi Tokunaga and Honami Suzuki out.
There is no need for Naoki Nagayama to handle the subsequent signings and schedules personally... He was chatting with Itou Shuichi and Komori Masataka in the conference room.
"I didn't expect it to go so well!" Itou Shuichi sighed, "He really looks like someone who stepped out of a comic book!"
"Haha, some people can be identified at a glance!" Naoki Nagayama said, "One more thing, I also found the singer of the theme song yesterday..."
Itou Shuichi was a little surprised and said:
"This is a good thing coming together~ Naoki-san, when are you going to start filming?"
"Early March~" Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, "After all, the scenery and everything are not ready yet..."
"Early March..."
Itou Xiu nodded without saying anything, after all, it all depends on Nagayama Naoki's wishes.
........
The snow in Tokyo has been falling intermittently for a long time. When the re-release of "Love Letter" is getting more enthusiastic, "The Legend of Hayato" is finally going to be taken off the shelves.
The nearly two-month release period has brought a total of more than 4 billion in box office to Shuyou Pictures, making Neon's film industry start to reel in from the beginning of the new year.
Many other film production companies are considering whether to release the movie again in a year. Otherwise, the movies released this year will have to survive in the shadow of "Hayato"...
After all, the first movie of the new year has raised the audience's threshold so much. The advantages of subsequent movies will not be obvious, but the shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.
The audience will unconsciously compare it with "The Legend of Hayato"... It is equivalent to adding intensity to all subsequent gangster, action, plot and character biographical movies!
Of course, films with different genres such as romance films and cartoons will be better~
But there’s no telling, who knows what kind of movie Shuyou Pictures’ next movie will be!
The entire industry is watching Shuyou Pictures’ next move.
The script of "Tiger of Ginza" was completed under such circumstances!
"Naoki-san...."
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Hanyuki sent the first draft of the script to Naoki Nagayama for review with great expectations.
"This is the first draft of the script for "Tiger of Ginza"..."
"Oh? It's ready!" Nagayama Naoki took over the script and praised them a few words, "It seems that Sosei-kun and Banyuki-kun have been working very hard these days!"
Souo Matsuo and Banyuki Nishimoto have now joined the script creation center. As directors, they must also participate in script creation.
"Where, where...this is also a rare opportunity for us~"
Souo Matsuo said modestly,
"If I hadn't started this script from scratch, I might not have discovered that I was still weak in plot connection and picture editing!"
"Yes, script writing will be very helpful for our future directing work." Nishimoto Hanyuki also added.
"Hahaha, it's good to have something to gain..."
Naoki Nagayama gave a few words of encouragement, and then began to read the script of "Tiger of Ginza".
The background of this movie is the huge profits in the stock market, showing the extravagance and indulgence of the financial world and the rich people, and the life scenes under money worship, and then everything collapses in the end, bringing enlightenment to people...
The plot combines parts of "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Naoki Nagayama's own present...
As they flipped through the scripts one by one, the rustling sound of papers made the office even quieter. The two new directors nervously observed Nagayama Naoki's expression, even breathing to a minimum.
Slowly, they found that the smile on Nagayama Naoki's face faded...
The previous aspects of making money, investment, and plot control are all very good, making Nagayama Naoki look like he is reading a cool novel, and it is very immersive...
However, after making a lot of money and becoming addicted to money, spending money like water, and enjoying indulgence, it feels like a lack of motivation.
"This...so after making tens of billions in the stock market..."
Naoki Nagayama raised his head and looked at Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banko with some helplessness.
"Your celebration is to book the whole club? Book the whole place, lady? It's all free?"
"???" Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki looked at each other, "Is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with that..."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head, the party was going to be held, and the young lady was going to be called... Souo Matsuo and Banyuki Nishimoto were both a bit petty,
"That kind of celebration is not considered a life of luxury..."
The luxurious scenes in "The Great Gatsby", "Babylon", etc. can't help but come to mind, as well as the yacht parties, private clubs, sea and sky feasts that I have seen...
Food, wine, beauties, and music are just the surface. What is really hidden underneath is prohibition, multiple people, blood, and excitement...
Even though he doesn't play much, he always invites his friends to dance in his own discotheque... dancing wantonly under the stimulation of psychedelic lights, exciting music and alcohol...
He shook his head and looked at the two young men opposite him, feeling that he really couldn't blame them!
I wanted to share it with them, but in the end I said:
"Forget it...you can't write about it if you haven't experienced it!"
"...."
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Hanyuki felt inexplicable contempt, but they couldn't refute it at all...
Naoki Nagayama quickly turned over the script and said to the two of them:
"Other aspects are not big problems, but in terms of showing the chaos of extravagance and lust, you two... can only be regarded as kindergarten level at best..."
"....Naoki-san...."
Seeing the pitiful looks in their eyes, Nagayama Naoki was speechless at the words of reproach.
After all, it was Naoki Nagayama who paid their wages. He knew best why these two couldn't experience the life of dissipation and extravagance!
After thinking for a moment, Naoki Nagayama said:
"It seems that I need to give you some experience...in order to improve the script..."
He picked up the phone on his desk and dialed his cousin Yongshan Feng. After a few calls, the phone was picked up:
"Moses Moses, this is Melody KTV..."
"Brother Feng...it's me~"
"Naoki?" Yongshan Feng on the phone was a little surprised, "Why did you call me suddenly? Or did you use an unknown number?"
"This is my office phone number..."
Naoki Nagayama explained a little, and then asked,
"Brother Feng, do you still go there often?... Just go to the gatherings of those super rich second generations?!"
"Well... occasionally~" Yongshan Feng said vaguely, "After all, I am a KTV business, and I will come into contact with a lot of big customers..."
In fact, Nagayama Kaede has been very fond of going out since he came to Tokyo. After he became rich and famous after filming "Hot Blood High School", he was invited by many second-generation people to go to various high-end clubs, dance halls... to join them
private party.
After running a large-scale entertainment company such as KTV, I came into contact with many entertainment fans and became a "frequent customer" in the circle.
Although I am about to get married now, I will definitely not give up on this kind of thing all at once...
"I want to ask you for a favor~"
I only heard Yongshan Feng's teasing tone on the phone:
"What's wrong? My wife is pregnant. I'm holding it back at home. Do you want to go have some fun?
If you go there, Naoki Nagayama, everyone will welcome you!"
"Our company is creating a movie, but the screenwriters below have no idea about the life of the upper class. I want to ask you to let them see it..."
"Oh?! This is it~"
Yongshan Feng's tone was a little disappointed,
"I thought it was Naoki you wanted to go..."
"Okay, I'm not interested in these..." Nagayama Naoki said sternly, "Can you help me?"
"No problem, no problem...let someone come to me, I just happen to be going to a yacht feast in Tokyo Bay tonight..."
"Okay, please..."
Nagayama Naoki hung up the phone and said to the two people looking at him:
"Did you hear that? I'm going to find Yongshan Feng in the evening. You guys know him, right... I'll write you the address later..."
"Forehead....."
Matsuo Sosei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said calmly,
"Naoki-san, you want us to attend a luxurious party?"
"Open your eyes!"
"This is not for you to enjoy, but for you to experience!" Naoki Nagayama said, "When participating, you can have an interview mentality and ask other people what more exciting occasions they have participated in!"
"Actually, the activities in Neon can only be considered high-end...the real top luxury activities are abroad, usually in places like Hawaii and Manhattan..."
"Things that exceed specifications are usually found on the high seas..."
