Nagayama Naoki felt that this old man was a little weird, nodded politely, and ignored him.
Next to her, Akina Nakamori came over and whispered:
"Naoki-san has many friends!"
Nagayama Naoki also whispered: "I am also very troubled. There are always strange people attracted by my handsomeness..."
Xiao Mingna was so amused that she laughed out loud, and then immediately covered her mouth to avoid being discovered by Kobayashi Masaki.
Just as I was talking, the movie started to show~
"Gas Station Robbery" is a comedy film suitable for all ages, but its background refers to the emptiness of teenagers in today's society, rampant Yakuza, school bullying, social injustice and other factors.
There is an impulse in everyone's heart, to rob a store, resist bullying, beat up gangsters, break injustice, etc., all of which are reflected in the movie.
However, the absurd and ridiculous plot of the movie broke away from the heavy tone and made the audience immersed in laughter.
Whenever the plot turns, laughter will erupt in the screening room. Older people may be more reserved, but next to them, Akina Nakamori and Chiko Aoyama are already laughing so hard that they are holding their stomachs.
The gangsters even slapped their thighs while they were performing impromptu performances.
Even though it was not the first time for Naoki Nagayama to watch it, he was still amused by the plot in the movie. Some of the scenes are destined to be classics. Even Masaki Kobayashi, who was watching the movie nearby, nodded repeatedly.
"Nagayama-kun, did you also write and direct this movie?" Kobayashi Masaki asked during a transition.
"Kobayashi-san, the screenwriter is me, but the director is Itou Shuichi-san." Out of politeness, Nagayama Naoki still replied a few words.
Masaki Kobayashi was a little unconvinced: "Director Itou is a pretty decent director, and his camera skills are pretty good, but he can't make such a novel film."
The friend was dissed, and Naoki Nagayama had to reply seriously: "Kobayashi-san, the director of this film is Itou Shuichi. There is no doubt about this. There is a saying in China that 'a person who has been separated for three days should be looked at with new eyes.'
A director's evaluation cannot always be based on previous results."
Kobayashi Masaki glanced at this young man in surprise. It had been a long time since anyone had refuted him on movie-related matters: "It seems that Director Itou has made a good friend, hahahaha, age
It’s inevitable that you’ll be a bit old-fashioned when you get older, and you can’t look at things the way you used to see them~”
Nagayama Naoki looked at this young director in confusion, sometimes making wild remarks and sometimes apologizing sincerely. Sure enough, the older people get, the more changeable they are like children?
He shook his head and handed the popcorn cup he bought to Akina Nakamori next to him, and also handed a cup to Chiko Aoyama who was sitting next to him, and then started eating happily.
Chatting with an old man is not as interesting as watching a movie with a girl~
After Aoyama Nobu, who was sitting on the other side of Aoyama Chikoko, saw this, he silently made a decision in his heart, "We must not let Chikoko have more contact with this guy Naoki! This guy really has many romantic relationships, and there are also girls who are inexperienced in the world...
..."
...
Higuchi Kananko, who was sitting in the first row, took advantage of a break to quietly ask Tanaka Yuko next to her, "Yuko-san, have so many people been invited to this premiere?"
"Hey, I didn't expect so many people to come and see Director Masaki Kobayashi in the back." Tanaka Yuko looked at it again with his peripheral vision without leaving a trace, "But there are a lot of spectators in the back row, it seems they are all
Friends from the crew.”
Itou Shuichi and the others knew that if a small company's film needed to gain a reputation, of course their own relatives and friends would be the first to receive tap water, so they asked the crew to invite more or less people to participate in the test screening, but Naoki Nagayama didn't expect it.
One person invited 9 people.
"But this movie is of very high quality and has the potential to become a hit."
"Yes, I felt it had great potential from the moment I saw the script. It's a pity, but Nanzi-san didn't have a schedule at the time." Tanaka Yuko said regretfully, "Naoki-san originally wanted you to star~"
"It's really a pity~ Some time ago, "The Lost Honeymoon" was wrapping up." Higuchi Kanako put these disappointments behind her mind and returned her attention to the movie, "By the way, all the actresses in the movie are Naoki.
Did Sang find her? His (female) popularity is so good?"
Tanaka Yuko smiled: "Three of them are from the former Wildcats, the idol group that Naoki-san first ran, and there is also a new member, Junko Ito, who just signed a contract, who just debuted a few days ago."
"It is said that it was discovered by Naoki-san. Even the debut song was tailor-made by Naoki-san~" For some reason, Tanaka Yuko said this in a bad way.
"Well..."
The two's eyes returned to the movie.
...
As the movie progresses, the robbery operation has completely turned into a multi-party melee. The local takeaway labor group, the Yakuza organization, and the riot police took turns to appear, and a scene broke out with the four protagonists in a small gas station.
The conflict eventually turned into a big melee.
When the cold-faced guy played by Nagayama Naoki took two oil guns and covered everyone with gasoline, and then took out a lighter, the movie suddenly stopped from the most lively scene, just like a dream suddenly ended.
As several people drove away, the entire "Gas Station Robbery Incident" seemed like an absurd dream, ushering in a moment of awakening.
The black screen appeared at the end of the film, and the cast began to appear. Seeing the audience who seemed to want to get up, and some industry insiders who were wondering why the lights hadn't been turned on yet, Naoki Nagayama said to Xiao Akina:
"Akarina-san, wait a moment, there is more content!"
"Eh? Isn't it over?"
“There’s still a surprise~”
"Surprise?" After hearing this, Xiao Mingcai sat down and watched with peace of mind.
Along with the end credits, there are also scenes of ng clips from the filming of the movie. Although it is a comedy in itself, this kind of behind-the-scenes footage is no less impressive, and because it is very natural, it makes people smile.
"European model~" the old man next to him spoke again, "Naoki-san, the extras at the end of the film were your idea, right?"
Kobayashi Masaki seemed to be sure that he had been paying close attention to this young man since the last movie "The Ghost Story", and this novel idea must belong to young people.
"Hey, I borrowed Easter eggs from overseas."
"Ha, maybe Easter eggs at the end of the film will become the norm in the future."
"Yes, yes~" Why does this senior director always like to talk to me...
The lights in the screening room turned on, and the interviews for the preview screening were about to begin. Nagayama Naoki and Akina greeted Aoyama's ancestors and grandsons, and also walked to the stage.
After the host introduced the leading actors and directors, reporters one by one began to ask questions about the movie. Among the actors, Yuko Tanaka is probably the most famous. After all, she has won many awards.
"Ms. Yuko Tanaka, can you tell me the reason why you took on this movie in the first place?"
"In fact, when I saw the script of this movie, I felt that the film was very novel, and both the plot arrangement and the characters were very good, so I chose to join the crew."
There was no explosive answer in the dignified answer. Tanaka Yuko is already a mature actor and handled it very appropriately.
Seeing that the reporter couldn't get any news from her, he found the trio of youth team members who looked to be the youngest.
"I heard that the three of them are Johnny's reserve team. Is this the first time for them to appear in a movie?"
"Hey, thanks to the love of the director and the crew, we are lucky enough to get this opportunity." The three of them had obviously been trained by the agency, and they talked about the problem calmly.
The reporter was reluctant: "What do you think of your performance? Are you satisfied with your performance?"
This is obviously a leading question. If you say it's bad, it will definitely not work. It will lower the evaluation of the entire movie. If you say it's good, you are newcomers who have never acted before. If you can do it well, this movie will also be good.
Too simple.
Itou Shuichi quickly took over: "This question is best answered by me as a director. Nishikori Ichikiyo, Uekusa Katsuhide, and Higashiyama Noriyuki are all talented actors. They respect their seniors on the set and pay close attention to the script.
Study hard, and work even harder when filming..."
He said a lot, all of them good things, without answering the question directly.
Looking at this wonderful question and answer, Nagayama Naoki silently praised Yi Tangxiu in his heart. As expected, all the people in the entertainment industry are talented people.
Shinnosuke Matsuzawa of "Weekly Bunshun" looked at the old-fashioned questions from his colleagues and couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. Where does this come from? As expected, you still have to rely on me to dig up some materials!
The microphone was handed to his hand, and Matsuzawa Shinnosuke stood up and faced Naoki Nagayama directly. This is the news point today!
"Naoki-san, we meet again!"
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke greeted Nagayama Naoki familiarly, carefully organizing the next questions in his mind, eager to find out the dirty information.
Nagayama Naoki was confused. Why does this person look so familiar? We have met him before?
"Private Marseille, I am a bit face-blind. Which reporter are you from?"
Phew...someone laughed! Someone must have laughed, right?
The crew members on the stage all looked at them silently with expressions like "We are all professional actors, we will never laugh."
All the questions are messed up, face blindness? Why don’t you say you are blind!
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke suppressed the complaints that were about to blurt out, and forced a smile: "I am Matsuzawa Shinnosuke of "Weekly Bunshun". I also interviewed Naoki-san at the promotion conference of "Ghost Record"!"
"Hey, private Marseille, please continue talking." Naoki Nagayama remembered that he was the guy who kept exposing me.
"Naoki-san, I noticed that Ms. Konanko Higuchi also came to the preview. We have collaborated several times before. Why is there no Ms. Kananko in the new film this time?"
It’s such a good movie, why did you ask about other people? However, Naoki Nagayama felt that there was nothing to hide: “I originally wanted to invite Konanko-san, but there was no schedule during the filming of the movie, so I missed it.”
"So it's Ms. Yuko Tanaka, right?" It seems that there is no problem, but Shinnosuke Matsuzawa has already prepared the draft. As long as he answers, there will be no problem in telling the story of Naoki Nagayama who is rejected by his old love and finds a new one.
"no."
"Huh?" This answer is wrong.
"The role that Konanko-san was originally invited to play was not Yuko-san's current role. After seeing Konanko-san's performance in "Hokusai Manga", I originally wanted to invite her to play the role of a sexy lady in the film."
The words are a bit hard to pronounce, but the explanation is very reasonable.
But if there are no scandals between men and women in the entertainment industry, how could there be explosive news? Shinnosuke Matsuzawa did not give up:
"Naoki-san, I noticed that all the female characters in the movie seem to be related to you?"
What is this word? It doesn’t matter what it is called?
As long as you admit it, it's a scandal, if you deny it, it's an explanation, and the explanation is a cover-up, and cover-up is still a scandal, that's for sure.
"Hi, I'm their boss."
Haha...someone was laughing again, and the reporters present seemed to notice Shinnosuke Matsuzawa's frustration.
But he still didn't give up. It was the mission of "Weekly Bunshun" to find out the scandal!
"Naoki-san came to see a lot of friends at the preview today. I saw Naoki-san went to pick up a lot of people." He paused and said, "There are also girls, are they girlfriends?"
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke turned to the second row of the auditorium, where Naoki Nagayama, Akina Nakamori, and Chiko Aoyama were sitting. Now both of them looked confused, and then their faces turned red again.
"What should I do? What should I do if Naoki-san says it's me?" Chiko Aoyama covered her face, as if this was the only sentence left in her mind.
After all, Nakamori Akina had experienced more big scenes. Although she was a little blushing at this time, she still remained calm.
At this moment, everyone including Yuko Tanaka and Kananko Higuchi on the stage, as well as Wonta Nakai, Suzumi Hoshino and Keiko Fujita in the audience looked over.
Nagayama Naoki frowned. What kind of airplane was this guy messing with? Just ask me. It would be too inconsistent with the bottom line of a reporter to implicate other people.
The host at the scene quickly interrupted: "Mr. Reporter, please ask questions related to the movie."
But Matsuzawa Shinnosuke didn't let go, and kept staring at Nagayama Naoki. If he didn't answer, he could also write that he would take his girlfriend to watch the preview or something. At worst, coding would be another way.
Nagayama Naoki was very puzzled. He knew the disadvantages of silence. This reporter who seemed to have a grudge against him would not let go of vague speculations.
He looked at Akina Nakamori in the audience and suddenly smiled: "That's the idol I finally invited!"
"Eh?!" This answer shocked everyone present.
"The winner of the 38th Grand Prize of "Star! Birth!" is Akina Nakamori, who will debut in May this year! Please support her!"
Naoki Nagayama directly helped promote it, acting like a real fan support group.
This answer confused everyone else present, and the host didn't know what to do next.
"Hahaha~" Masaki Kobayashi laughed heartily in the audience. This guy is so interesting!
This laughter relaxed the atmosphere in the screening room, and the host also said with a smile: "Haha, I really didn't expect that Naoki-san actually has an idol."
"Haha, I'm only 20 years old~"
"Ah, indeed! Naoki-san has just grown up~"
Can't artists have idols? His Naoki Nagayama is a real fan, and he has gone to support several times of "Star! Birth!"!
Before Matsuzawa Shinnosuke could continue asking, the host handed the microphone to others,
He still asked questions in a leisurely manner, but it was no longer as exciting as the moment before.
...
While continuing the interview above,
Hoshino Suzumi and Fujita Keiko next to her were whispering. Girls' friendship is really hard to understand. In just a few hours, the two have become good friends.
"Ekeko-chan, who do you think Naoki-san likes? I think it's Nakamori Akina."
"I think it's the girl next to Akina. Even the elderly at home have met her."
"There's no way you would take an elderly person with you on a date, that's probably not the case!"
When Nakai Wonta heard what they said, she retorted: "You are all wrong. Naoki-san must like Higuchi Kananko!"
"Why?"x2
"Do you even need to ask? Those two little girls are only in high school, how can they be so charming like Nanzi-san." Wonta Nakai said in an LSP tone, "Cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness!"
Fujita Keiko's unknown boyfriend kept nodding on the other side: "Yuko-san can do it too!"
"Bah! Scumbag!" x2
...
Finally, the media promotion meeting was over. Itou Shuichi did not arrange any activities, and everyone left on their own.
The crew members all nodded to Naoki Nagayama when the show was over, and their eyes said, "Young man, I'm optimistic about you."
Nagayama Naoki was speechless. How could everyone have such biased thoughts?
Higuchi Kananko took Tanaka Yuko's arm and came over to say hello: "Naoki-san, thank you for inviting me to the preview today. Yuko-san and I will go back together later and I will say goodbye~"
Today, so many reporters were recognized and asked specific questions about the relationship between the two. As an artist on the rise, Higuchi Kanako naturally couldn't let scandal rumors spread between them, so she left with Tanaka Yuko.
"Hey, I didn't treat you well. I'll treat you to dinner later when I have time~"
Tanaka Yuko glanced at Kananzi and teased: "Should I invite you too?"
"Of course~"
"Hahaha~"
This young lady has a very low sense of humor.
Next Naoki Nagayama went to the back row and said goodbye to Wonta Nakai and a few others. They all came together, so there was no need to send them off.
Nakai Wonta hooked his shoulder: "Tell me secretly, which one do you choose?"
"Choose your big-headed ghost!"
In exchange for bursts of laughter from several people.
Mr. Aoyama and Naoki Nagayama, who were in the second row, nodded, then took Chikoko's arm and walked out the door without even saying a word. The older they get, the more childish they become.
Only Xiao Mingcai is left. She came alone, why should she be responsible to the end~
"Akina-san, do you have any plans after watching the movie?"
"I have to go to training in the afternoon..." Xiao Mingcai said softly,
"It's not over yet?" What kind of training is this? My Junko Ito has already made her debut!
"Hey, it's not until March."
"It's really hard work~" Naoki Nagayama said with emotion, "How about we have dinner together at noon? I'll drive you there in the afternoon~"
Xiao Akina seemed a little entangled in the embarrassing situation before, but she didn't want to embarrass Naoki Nagayama, so she nodded.
"Hi, Arigado~"
"Haha, why are you so polite all of a sudden?"
Naoki Nagayama led Akina Nakamori out and found Kuniji Morikawa waiting for him in the lobby, but he actually forgot about him!
"Ha, Bangzhisang, I thought you were gone~"
"I did come out early." Kuniji Morikawa saw Akina Nakamori following behind him, with a look that every man knows, "I almost forgot my passport, so I brought it here for you."
"It's too much trouble for Bunji-san." Naoki Nagayama took the document bag and thanked him again, "Arigado~"
"It's okay, then I'll leave first~"
Seeing Kuniji Morikawa leave in a hurry, Nagayama Naoki was still a little surprised. Didn't he still want to talk about his overseas activities?
Akina Nakamori asked: "Naoki-san, do you want to go abroad?"
"Hi, I'm going to the United States at the end of the month to attend an event~"
"Eh?!!" Xiao Mingcai exclaimed, "I want to go to the United States too! To record, but it will be in March."
??
"Todoroki?" Nagayama Naoki was stunned, "Is it such a coincidence?"
