Akina looked at Nagayama Naoki with pleading eyes, with some white cream still stuck to the corner of her mouth....
"Dah!"
Naoki Nagayama sternly refused, then scooped out a spoonful from the ice cream cup in his hand, put it in his mouth, and then hummed happily~
Even if it's not summer or winter, eating ice cream is always a refreshing thing!
Naoki Nagayama returned to Sansakurain today and found that Akina actually ate ice cream at home while Mrs. Mari Nonaka went shopping!
How is this possible?!
Naturally, Naoki Nagayama came over halfway and robbed him, still saying:
"Mingna, how can you eat such cold things when you're pregnant?! What should you do if you catch a cold? I'm doing this for your own good!"
"How could it be! It's okay to eat it occasionally!"
Akina grabbed Nagayama Naoki's hand holding the spoon and was about to put the spoon into her mouth...
You can’t eat too much during pregnancy, you can’t drink alcohol, you can’t drink soda, you can’t eat spicy food... In short, you should eat less irritating things that are high in oil, salt, and spicy...
After a few months, Akina's mouth was full of cravings!
"Ahh~"
In the end, Akina managed to grab a bite from Nagayama Naoki, and then began to get ready to fight for the next food.
The two of them were fighting for a piece of ice cream, one bite for you and two bites for me, as if they were in love, so boring~
Even the dog watching from the side felt full!
"Akina~" After finally destroying all the ice cream, Nagayama Naoki and Akina talked about the company, "In two days, I want to go abroad and go to Hong Kong~"
"Going abroad?" Akina asked in surprise, "What are you going to do in Hong Kong?"
"Let's go look for actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and see if they are suitable for the leading role in "Tiger of Ginza"."
Naoki Nagayama explained the next major movie of Shuyu Pictures,
"Masataka-kun and Kijima-kun will also be with me."
"Eh..."
I heard that they were casting for a movie, and Akina had nothing to say, but her husband was going abroad and she couldn't go, so she always felt a little emotional.
Moreover, she also knew the script of the movie "Tiger of Ginza", so she said directly:
"If you can't find a suitable one in the neon entertainment industry, why don't you just come and play Naoki-san... Why go to Hong Kong?"
"..."
Nagayama Naoki shook his head when he heard this. Although he is a genius and versatile in the eyes of others... But acting is very about talent. There is a big difference between directing others to act and acting by yourself~
To put it simply, his acting skills are not very good!
After shooting so many movies, he has participated in very few movies, almost only the commercials at the beginning and the subsequent "Ghost Story"... and "Love Letter" with Akina.
When playing the leading role in "Love Letter", you only need to look cool, and you don't need much acting skills... But Akina is different. She is also talented in acting. "Love Letter" mainly depends on her acting skills.
Her acting skills.
"This time, the male protagonist of "Tiger of Ginza" needs to be the main support. From his youthfulness at the beginning to his high-spirited and wanton rampage, and the final ending...it is a great test of his acting skills..."
Naoki Nagayama put his arm around Akina's shoulders and sighed,
"My acting talent is not enough..."
"Who said that!" Akina sat up straight and looked at her husband, and said seriously, "Naoki-san's talent is very good! If you want to act, you can definitely do it!"
"Haha~"
Even though he knew they were words of comfort, Nagayama Naoki was still very happy.
He turned his head and looked at Akina's serious and bright eyes, her delicate and stubborn nose, and her rosy lips on her fair and smooth cheeks... Naoki Nagayama suddenly said with a bad smile:
"Akina, there's ice cream on your lips~"
"Eh?" Akina subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth...
Nagayama Naoki felt itchy in his heart:
"Let me wipe it off for you!"
Then he put his arm around Akina's shoulders and kissed her gently~
When Nonaka Mozato returned to Yamasakura-yuan and opened the side door, he saw such a sticky scene in the living room. He was stunned at the entrance, not knowing whether he should come in or not.
Finally, after thinking about it for a while, he gently put down his shopping bag and quietly exited...
The cool breeze of early spring blew on Nozaka Mori's somewhat hot cheeks, and she couldn't help but fan herself with her hands:
"Really, today's young people..."
.......
Because he was going abroad, Naoki Nagayama accelerated the filming schedule the next day.
At the filming base in Ota District, the crew of "Tokyo Love Story" discovered that Naoki Nagayama seemed a little serious today. His stern face and frowned brows made the actors and staff unconsciously speed up their work efficiency.
During the intermission, Higuchi Kananko hesitated for a moment and then came over to talk;
"Naoki-san...are you in a bad mood today?"
"Huh?" Nagayama Naoki looked up from the director's monitor, a little surprised, "In a bad mood? Why do you say that?"
"Because today Naoki-san has been very serious since the beginning of work..." Higuchi Kananko sat on the seat next to Nagayama Naoki. She felt that Nagayama Naoki's tone was not bad, so she felt relieved, "Everyone
I’m getting worried because the day before yesterday is obviously a day off..."
As the biggest person on the set, almost everyone is paying attention to Nagayama Naoki, and even small movements will be noticed, let alone his serious attitude today.
The entire crew began to feel pressure...
"Ah, it's not like I'm in a bad mood or anything..." Naoki Nagayama responded and explained, "I just have to catch up on the progress these days. I have to go abroad next week..."
"Are Naoki-san going to participate in an event? Or going on a trip?"
Higuchi Kananko is more relaxed. Logically speaking, if you want to travel during the cherry blossom season, you should stay in Neon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am going to Hong Kong... to find actors..."
Regarding the matter of finding actors for "Tiger of Ginza", Naoki Nagayama has no intention of hiding it. After all, the behavior of Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon has made the entertainment industry aware of the news, and many agencies want to cooperate.
.
It's just that no one knows the specific content of "Tiger of Ginza".
"What kind of actor does Naoki-san want?" Higuchi Kananko asked.
"First of all, you have to be young and handsome, in your early 20s...and then you have to have good acting skills..." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "To be specific, you need to be able to act from an ordinary person to a big shot and then back to an ordinary person.
people...."
"Such an actor..."
Higuchi Kananko thought about it in her mind. In order for a neon actor to be famous in this era, he must almost be middle-aged... Youth and good acting skills are mutually exclusive, unless they have particularly outstanding talents.
After thinking for a while, it turned out that there was still no familiar person. Higuchi Kananzi shook his head:
"Can Naoki-san be found in Hong Kong?"
"Not sure..."
In this era, Lai Ming has not yet made his debut, and Takeshi Kaneshiro is still a teenager... He is handsome and has acting skills...
After Nagayama Naoki explained, the entire set became more relaxed. Everyone knew that Naoki-san was just catching up on schedule, so they started working more seriously.
"Tokyo Love Story" is already halfway through filming, and the four-corner relationship between the male protagonists Nagao Kanji, Mikami Kenichi, Sekiguchi Satomi, and Akana Rika has become more and more complicated.
Nagao Kanji and Rika are boyfriend and girlfriend, but in their hearts they still like Bai Yueguang Satomi. Satomi is dating the scumbag Kenichi Mikami, but because Kenichi Mikami frequently cheats on her, she is emotionally dependent on Nagao Kanji, while Rika is
Because of Nagao Kanji's indecision, he was wandering between love and sadness...
In fact, speaking of it, the characters of Nagao Kanji and Sekiguchi Satomi now look more like Neptune, while Akana Rika, who was originally a Neptune character, looks like a love brain...
Three Neptunes versus one love brain?
Nagayama Naoki still remembers that when he watched it before, he only saw the passionate love between the male and female protagonists, but he did not expect that after actually starting to shoot, it would all be bloody...
"CUT!" Nagayama Naoki shouted and said to Higuchi Kananko, "Kanazi-san, if you ask Rika alone to apologize, you need to be a little more deliberate to show your apology..."
"The apology needs to be sincere in etiquette, but it also feels a bit fake!"
Actually, I just want some green tea...
In fact, this is no problem for Neon people. They have been taught to be polite, respectful, and hide their emotions since childhood, so when they grow up, even if they have ten thousand thoughts in their hearts, they can still behave well on the surface.
"Hi~"
Higuchi Kananko nodded and continued to play with Suzuki Honami opposite.
I have to say that women are born to be actors, and the scenes performed by the two actresses next can definitely be used in palace battle dramas.
.......
The name of Shuyou Pictures' next major movie is "Tiger of Ginza", and this news is rapidly fermenting in the entertainment industry.
"The Legend of Hayato" at the beginning of the year is already considered the pinnacle of gangster movies, and everyone praises him as Naoki Nagayama...
Some time ago, "The Man with Zero Presence" directed by Itou Shuichi was released. Although it has a low presence, it is said that it has been well received by midnight theaters and curiosity lovers.
Even movie critics in the circle said in their columns that this is a very interesting movie.
It is also said that Director Yi Tang may have added some psychological or hypnotic techniques to it, making people who have watched it very vague about the specific plot, and it is worth trying.
It’s just that a bunch of directors haven’t analyzed how movies hypnotize the audience~
Another masterpiece of Shuyu Pictures this year is of course Naoki Nagayama's "Tokyo Love Story", which has already become popular in Neon!
That song "Sudden Love" has been sung by countless people. Taxi drivers like to play it when picking up passengers...
Although it is not a movie, its popularity and influence are not inferior to those of movies.
And next is the third masterpiece of Shuyou Pictures this year... "Tiger of Ginza", only one name has been revealed, and even the director and protagonist of the movie have not been determined...
People are spreading rumors that this movie, which is said to be based on Naoki Nagayama, has already been rumored in the entertainment industry.
"What is Naoki Nagayama going to do? After the filming of my grandfather, is he going to take pictures of himself now?"
"Shouldn't we still be filming our parents?"
"Isn't "Midnight Diner" his father's generation? There is also an eldest brother!"
"...Nagayama Naoki is going to bring the entire Nagayama family to the screen!"
"...."
Similar discussions keep popping up, and some people say that Nagayama Naoki is creating history for his family. In the future, his children may also film a movie like "Nagayama's Son" and "Baby Project"!
And more insiders have a deeper understanding:
"Shuyou Pictures doesn't seem to be interested in neon actors in the entertainment industry?"
"After all, it is a movie based on Naoki Nagayama, so it is understandable that the starring requirements are higher..."
"There is news that Naoki Nagayama is taking the director to Hong Kong, China to find actors?"
"How is this possible...isn't this just looking down on the neon entertainment industry?! Are there any good actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?!"
"...There is Jackie Chan..."
"...Okay, count him..."
When it comes to Jackie Chan, no one has anything to say. After all, he is now an international star! However, Jackie Chan will definitely not act in "Tiger of the Ginza". Apart from other things, he will definitely not be able to pass the challenge of being handsome!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No matter what, please give priority to Neon local actors..."
"Do we in Neon have any young actors with good acting skills? Send them to Shuyou Pictures as soon as possible!"
"But... if you film Naoki Nagayama's movie, you will definitely become a big star! Who should you choose?"
"..."
There is no Internet yet, and there is no media like Douyin. All the exposure is through TV stations, newspapers, magazines and movie theaters. These channels are very strictly controlled...
Neon's society is very hierarchical, and the actor circle is also very hierarchical. Most of the resources will be given to senior actors, unless you have connections...
Even those who are so young in the idol circle are no exception. If the old man's popularity had not declined too seriously, he would definitely not allocate resources to the newcomers.
If Naoki Nagayama had been included in the entertainment industry's system, he might just be a handyman on set now.
It’s very difficult for young people in Neon to get ahead...
...
Itou Shuichi was invited to the banquet by the seniors of Tokyo University of the Arts, and the group of people interacted with each other enthusiastically.
"Yitang..." A familiar senior raised a toast, "Is the box office of "The Man with Zero Existence" OK?"
"It's very bad..." Itou Shuichi shook his head, with bitterness on his face, "It ranks last among Shuyu's movies!"
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, and these pictures hit the horse's legs:
"It's actually a countdown..."
"Yes, there are only more than 500 million now, and it seems that it will not exceed 600 million..."
Itou Shuyi raised his head and drank the sake, really sighing at the box office of his movie.
Others in the industry next to them opened their eyes wide. Can a box office of 500 million still be enough?!
The box office of big-budget movies in the entire entertainment industry is almost 100 million. Your Itou Shuichi is now five times higher than them!
You also said that the box office of Shuyou Films was last, what are you bragging about?!
"...."
When Yi Tangxiu saw that everyone looked constipated, he quickly explained:
"Don't disbelieve me. Most of our Shuyou's previous movies have box office sales of more than one billion, and the highest can even reach tens of billions!"
"Currently, there are only two Shuyou works with less than 1 billion, both of which were made by me!"
One is "Blue Sea" and the other is "The Man with Zero Existence"... In fact, both of them should be regarded as art films, so they should have a lower box office.
However, Shuyu's other art films, such as "April Story" and "Don't Stop the Camera" filmed by Naoki Nagayama, all grossed over 1 billion at the box office! This suddenly showed that Shuichi Itou's level was not good enough.
....
Even Komori Masataka's "High School 2" and Kijima Kyū's "Midnight Ring 2" also achieved good results.
This is also the reason why Itou Shuichi was a little nervous during this period and took on the animated film project...If he didn't work hard, he would be the last among Shuyu directors!
"Shuichi-san's movies are all niche, so it's inevitable..."
There are still alumni who are good at dancing and smiling to lighten the atmosphere.
"No, the next one will be a commercial film, right? "Tiger of Ginza"...is Shuichi-san the director? Or will Naoki Nagayama direct it himself?"
Itou Shuichi knew that these classmates were here to inquire about information, so he did not hide it:
"I'm not the director, and Naoki-san doesn't want to direct..."
"Actually, this "Tiger of Ginza" is a script written by Shuyu's creative center under the guidance of Shuyu. It is a project for us Shuyu to train subsequent directors. The director is Masataka Komori or Kijima, a new generation director under Shuyu.
Xu...but I haven’t decided yet!”
Hearing this, the alumni sitting with them all started talking in a buzzing manner, and then another classmate asked:
"Shuichi-san, I heard that the leading actor will be chosen from Hong Kong?"
"Oh, you already know this~" Itou Shuichi smiled, "Naoki-san saw many actors during this period, but unfortunately none of them met the standards...so I had to look elsewhere.
..."
"Isn't there anyone in neon who agrees with the standards?"
"Naoki-san said...Neon's young actors seem to be missing something...the temperament of Showa men?"
Itou Shuichi drank a lot of wine and was already a little confused. He recalled his conversation with Nagayama Naoki. He remembered that Nagayama Naoki said that the young actors in Neon seemed to be missing a certain temperament...
There are actors from the older generation, but they are too old...
In fact, Naoki Nagayama is not talking about the Showa spirit, but the temperament that future Chinese descendants can recognize from Asians at a glance...that feeling of fearlessness, confidence and charisma
....
Everyone at the banquet was confused and continued to ask Yi Tang Shuichi what kind of temperament he had.
Shuichi Itou didn't know how to describe it. After all, Naoki Nagayama didn't explain it in detail. However, there is an example:
"Just look at Naoki Nagayama...after all, he is the prototype of the character..."
"When you see Naoki-san, you can actually find that he is completely different from other young people..."
Everyone recalled Nagayama Naoki's appearance in public, and indeed found that every time he talked to other people, he was equal and gentle. Even if he bowed politely, his back always seemed to be straight...
..
In short, he is very different from other neon people.
