149. At the worst, we should appoint a few people who have followed the unspoken rules, right?
...
The remaining snow on the road melted slightly and shone crystal clear in the sun.
Nagayama Naoki pulled Yotaro while walking on the street. From time to time, the little guy would spin around street trees, corners, and weeds, and sometimes he would even lift his hind legs...
You really don't learn well at a young age.
On the way back, I happened to pass by Aoyama's shop. Mr. Aoyama was doing something in the flower garden while the sun came out. This time he didn't wear his favorite kimono, but a warm cotton coat.
"Old Master Aoyama~" Nagayama Naoki greeted not far away.
Aoyama Shin turned his head: "Oh? Brother Naoki~" Then he saw the things he was carrying and the puppy he was holding,
"Is this the puppy Chikoko said she found? Does it look like she just came from the pet shop?"
"Hey, I took advantage of the morning to do a full body check-up."
"It looks like we are planning to officially adopt him." Qingshan Xin squatted down and teased the little guy.
"Hey, we met by chance, it's fate~"
"Hahaha, that's very well said, 'Inu's も歩けばstick' に道たる (Walking around aimlessly will lead to unexpected luck)'"
Qingshan Xin seemed to suddenly think of something happy, and even mentioned a proverb.
"Master, are you feeling better?"
"Ha, don't you know just by looking at me? How can such a small problem defeat me." Nobu Aoyama looked full of energy, "It's just that this winter is really cold."
"Yes, but the sun has come out, and it will definitely get hotter in the future."
"Yes, yes, it's spring, and my flower beds can bloom again~"
"Isn't Chikoko-san here?" Nagayama Naoki looked around the store and saw that the girl who usually sat at the counter had disappeared.
Aoyama Nobu suddenly became nervous: "Of course Chikoko went to school, what's wrong with Naoki-san?"
"It turns out I'm going to school~"
Nagayama Naoki sighed, school has already started~ He has been out of school for a long time and has completely lost his sensitivity in this area~
"It's nothing~ I just wanted to say hello~"
Why does this old man always think that I have thoughts about his granddaughter, who is only a junior high school student...
Because he still had something in his hand, Nagayama Naoki chatted with Mr. Aoyama at the door and did not go in to drink tea.
After walking for about 10 minutes, we returned to Sanzakura-in.
...
When Taro entered the door, he ran to the carpet in the living room and stopped moving, biting the little yellow duck in his mouth.
It seems that more than half an hour of exercise is still a bit tiring for the puppy.
I quickly poured a bowl of warm water for the little guy to quench his thirst~
At noon, Nagayama Naoki casually got some food, but Yutaro still made high-end dog food with milk powder. It was really a series in which people are not as good as dogs...
I went to see 4 houses in the morning. According to Nagayama Naoki's original idea, he wanted to buy an office building. Not only could the value increase and be rented out, but it would also allow everyone from Shuyou Pictures and GG Office to have a formal place to work.
.
But after looking at two office buildings, I felt that neither one was very satisfactory. In addition, the studio is actually enough as a base for now~
The remaining two places are one in Shibuya and one in Ginya. How to choose?
Both the location and value-added potential are still very good, but there is already a store in Shibuya.
How about choosing the one from Silver Valley this time~
Nagayama Naoki made a decision silently in his heart,
However, he did not immediately call to inform Fujita Keiko.
I just said that I should think it over carefully, but the decision was made in less than an hour. Doesn't it seem very frivolous?
.....
In the afternoon, I still have to go to the studio.
After all, they lost a script and then let it go, leaving Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura to worry about everything. Even a person as shameless as Naoki Nagayama had to pretend to care.
"Yingtaro, I'll trouble you to look after my house this afternoon~"
Leaving the responsibility of looking after the house to the 2-month-old puppy, Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio~
As the weather improves, there is obviously more traffic on the road, and pedestrians are also walking on the street from time to time.
When we arrived at the studio, we found that almost everyone was here, including the three members of the Wildcats and Junko Ito, reading and discussing with materials in their hands.
"Naoki-san~ You're here~" "Naoki-san~" "Naoki-san, good afternoon!"
Along the way, Naoki Nagayama experienced star treatment.
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, what's going on outside?" After arriving at the backstage office, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo were already looking at him.
"Hahaha, Naoki-san is really popular!" Otomo Yoshimura said, "I heard people saying hello from inside~"
"Yeah, yeah~ It's like a star coming~" Itou Shuichi also supported,
Nagayama Naoki was almost overcome with embarrassment just now: "Stop talking! It shocked me when I came in~ What happened today?"
"Hahaha, today is the casting!" Itou Shuichi said,
"Casting?"
"Yes, there are several starring roles, and we have selected all the supporting roles designed in the movie to let everyone see if they are suitable for a certain role~"
"...Can it still be like this?" Naoki Nagayama was shocked. For casting, it shouldn't be that a lot of actors come to perform, and then the director and producer choose each one based on the compatibility of the character and the actor.
?
At the very least, there should be a few people who have experienced unspoken rules, right?
Why are you choosing roles now like choosing vegetables in a wet market?
Fangcun Dayou said: "Isn't it possible to save a little or a little? This is what small companies are like~"
Itou Shuichi explained: "They are all supporting roles. Hiring oneself is the same as hiring a group of actors~ As for the protagonist, of course he has to be selected."
"Naoki-san, I think this Mark suits you very well~"
"Isn't this the starring role?"
"The main thing is that the character is very handsome! He doesn't talk much and is cool..."
This character doesn’t talk much? He’s cool? Shuichi-san, have you forgotten who wrote the script?
But looking at the determined looks of these two people, it would be unreasonable for me not to act~
"So~ Then will Otomo-san and Shuichi-san also play roles? The gas station owner is a perfect fit for Otomo-san~"
Upon hearing this, Fangcun Otomo immediately said: "I will be responsible for the coordination of finding actors and various matters at the performance site. I will be very busy..."
Itou Shuichi also wanted to refuse, but Nagayama Naoki immediately said: "Shuichi-san can definitely do it. The director should have been at the scene all the time. No one knows how to act better than the director~"
"Ah... this..." Itou Xiu faltered, "Let's see how the casting goes~"
"Hey, when it's your turn..."
Nagayama Naoki muttered, but Itou Shuichi acted as if nothing happened.
"Otomo-san, how are the talks with Kadokawa Films going?"
"They are very supportive of the filming of the movie and are willing to fully support the subsequent release... However, there are no suitable actors for the time being~"
"That's it~ It looks like I have to go to the artist's office to communicate~"
"Yeah, there's nothing we can do~"
After all, in Japan, most artists are controlled by a few major agencies, and it is impossible to avoid them.
Speaking of actors, Naoki Nagayama immediately thought of actors he was familiar with,
I don’t know if Higuchi Kanako, whom I have worked with before, is available.
Yuko Tanaka, whom I met years ago, seems to be a very good actor as well.
