203, I am so handsome, I will steal the limelight of the protagonist!
...
Nagayama Naoki seemed to have underestimated the influence of "Popeye". When he came to the studio that day, Yoshimura Otomo told him that many magazines, media, and even clothing brands called and wanted to invite him to continue filming.
magazine,
However, Nagayama Naoki really had no interest in being a model, and he couldn't make much money. Moreover, the shoot lasted most of the day, either posing or putting on makeup. It was not interesting at all, so the agency rejected them all.
Lost.
"Are you really not accepting any of them?" Yoshimura Otomo seemed to want to persuade, "Naoki-san, this can greatly increase your exposure. This is an opportunity that even first-line stars need."
"Otomo-san, didn't I tell you that I don't want to be a top star?"
Nagayama Naoki acted very firmly, but Yoshimura Otomo could only politely refuse according to his will.
Even so, Naoki Nagayama has to wear a mask when he goes out to eat at noon.
Because in the era before mobile phones, high-end hotel restaurants usually provided the latest fashion magazines or newspapers to allow customers in need to kill the waiting time.
And "Popeye" is one of the several magazines they always stock.
.......
This morning, after arriving at the studio,
Nagayama Naoki originally wanted to use his subjective initiative, but found that the film crew that really took action didn't need him to do anything at all.
Itou Shuichi is the overall overall coordinator and makes the final decision; Komori Masataka is responsible for shooting preparations, shooting plans, script storyboards, etc.; Yoshimura Otomo is responsible for all external communication, finding actors, and connecting with distribution channels; Inada Masami is responsible for other details.
For example, extras, stage management, etc.; there are also other staff who are helping.
It seemed that everyone had their own tasks, and Naoki Nagayama wandered around the studio for a long time, trying to see what he could do to help, but there was nowhere he could intervene...
Itou Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama running around and said with disgust:
"Naoki-san, stop interfering with the employees' work!"
What does it mean to hinder employees' work? After Naoki Nagayama heard this sentence, he immediately wanted to reply. I am obviously trying to reduce the burden on employees!
However, looking at Inada Masami's eyes that were hesitant to speak, he silently put down the radio microphone in his hand, and then an unfamiliar employee quickly received a box and moved it away quickly.
"If you really have nothing to do, you might as well look for a suitable starring role!" Itou Shuichi said again.
"But all the actors I know have called...basically none of them are available~" Nagayama Naoki said a little aggrievedly. Tanaka Yuko was filming "The Mysterious Case of Amagiyama" and "Oshin". In fact,
There is no time; and Higuchi Kanako is filming a very strange movie called "Swastika" and "The Iris Boat", and there is indeed no schedule.
Generally speaking, when it comes to finding well-known actors to star in, you need to inquire about filming arrangements at least six months in advance. Actors like them who are on the rise may already have film appointments scheduled for next year.
Itou Shuichi walked out: "There is really nothing we can do about it. By the way, Naoki-san doesn't plan to play a role?"
"I won't do it this time. I'm too handsome and will steal the spotlight from the protagonist." Nagayama Naoki said calmly, "The highlight of this movie is the Akita Inu Hachiko."
After hearing such a natural sentence, Yi Tangxiu immediately started to complain,
However, one look at Nagayama Naoki's appearance, even if he is wearing ordinary casual clothes, can make people distinguish him from the dozen or so employees present at first glance.
He silently swallowed back what he was about to say... Indeed, if Naoki-san appears in a movie, he will steal the attention of the public!
How can it be repaired? He was tricked!
However, for this casting selection, you can consider looking for some outdated actors. It is also an opportunity for your own artists to show up. After all, the main focus is on Hachiko, and the others are just supporting roles.
.......
In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki went to Honma Architectural Office.
The night before yesterday, Naoya Sakata called and said that the new design drawing of the disco has been completed, and the design drawing of Silver Valley Watch Shop has also been preliminary envisioned, so he would like to invite Naoki Nagayama to come to Honma Architects Office
Let's discuss it together.
"Can't we just look at the design drawings?" Naoki Nagayama originally asked, but Naoya Sakata said,
"Inspired by Naoki-san, we re-planned the three-dimensional space, but the full design effect cannot be expressed on the plane drawing, so we specially made a reduced version of the three-dimensional model."
"That's why I took the liberty to ask Naoki-san to come to our office to have a look in person."
Since others had said so, and since he had nothing to do (this was the key point), Naoki Nagayama agreed.
Honma Architects Office is not very big. This is Naoki Nagayama’s impression at first sight.
Like other art workers, Takashi Honma chose a bungalow in Ueno as his studio, but I don’t know why as a designer he didn’t choose a larger house.
But when I walked in, I realized that this studio was very well designed, with almost no space unused. I guess this is a model room carefully crafted by Takashi Honma and others.
Naoya Sakata opened the door,
"Naoki-san, you're here!" Takashi Honma also stood up.
"Takashi-san, long time no see!" The last time I saw Takashi Honma was in October last year, and it has been almost half a year now.
"Hahaha, there are always things like this and that during this time~"
The two exchanged pleasantries and then got down to the topic. Naoya Sakata led Naoki Nagayama to the workbench in the middle of the studio, pushed aside some unnecessary parts, and Naoki Nagayama saw a miniature version of the disco.
It feels like a child's play house toy, but with a full sense of design.
"Naoki-san, this is my adjusted design."
Naoya Sakata introduced it like a tour guide,
"Through sinking and overhead, I divided the entire disco into three parts: the sunken central dance floor; the looping decks and bar; and the separated upper-level distributed stage and DJ console for lead dancers and performances.
As well as some more private sky decks.”
After such a split level, the dance floor in the middle is even larger, and there is a high degree of separation between the decks and the sunken dance floor, making the impact of the two smaller. The aerial decks on the top floor are even more expensive.
Provided better service to guests.
"Naoya-san, are you planning to use steel structures for high-rise supports?"
Naoya Sakata nodded: "Hi, prefabricated special steel structure, the strength can support the weight of the stage very well, and at the same time, it can ensure that it takes up the smallest space."
The steel structure can have a rough feeling and is one of the indispensable elements of cyberpunk. However, this one seems to be missing something...
"Naoya-san, I hope that these steel structures can be painted to give an old and cold feeling, and then all the lights need to have a damaged feel. The real wires must be hidden, but the decoration must reflect the messy wires everywhere.
The feeling of hanging around.”
Naoki Nagayama put forward his own requirements based on the style of cyberpunk in the previous life, "The vacant walls should have wild graffiti, and in short, there should be a sense of decadence after destruction."
"But you have to be able to tell that this place must have been advanced in the past and full of mechanical design. It would be best to have a few robot parts and the like..."
Naoya Sakata was holding a notebook and kept recording Naoki Nagayama's requests. He felt that Party A had begun to torture himself, the humble Party B!
After a long period of time: "That's about it~ I'll design another version! I'm optimistic about you~"
Takashi Honma, who had been listening quietly, had an inconspicuous twitch at the corner of his eye, but still mustered up the courage to step forward.
"Naoki-san, I would like to discuss with you about the clock shop in Silver Valley."
"Ah, um, just change it into a tea seat. Just look at the design!" Nagayama Naoki nodded nonchalantly. He still had to listen to experts for things he didn't understand. He thought of the damaged parts in the clock shop again.
"By the way, Naoya-san, the broken clocks in the clock shop can also be added to the decoration of the disco."
"..." Naoya Sakata heard that he and Takashi Honma had completely different opinions, and felt a little like crying. "Why did you spare no effort in my design, but just let Mr. Honma do whatever he wanted..."
However, Takashi Honma was under a lot of pressure at the moment. Party A who did not express any opinions was actually the most difficult thing to deal with!
.......
When Naoki Nagayama returned home, he found a parcel collection notice in his mailbox.
It was the post office that informed him that there was a large package for him in the post office warehouse in Chiyoda and he needed to pick it up.
Large package?
Unexpectedly, Naoki Nagayama drove the convertible directly over.
What I saw at the post office was a package as big as a window. Beyond layers of protection, it was written "Oil Painting, Work of Art" and the sender was New York, USA.
At the same time, there was a postcard with a few crooked words written on it: "to my friend!"
"The handwriting is so ugly~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the postcard and smiled, and the two of them actually felt like pen pals.
After carrying the painting back to Yamazakura, Naoki Nagayama unpacked it directly in the living room.
The exposed painting is indeed Basquiat's graffiti work, with bold and novel colors. Two people whose faces can't be distinguished can be vaguely seen in the painting, but one is black and the other is yellow, which is easy to distinguish.
The messy lines and images on the outer circle can only be guessed. It must be something that the two of them experienced?
In order to maintain the best effect, Basquiat had already nailed the frame of the oil painting, he just needed to think about where to put it.
"Yangtaro, where do you think this painting should be placed?"
This kind of graffiti is not obtrusive at all when placed on the street. It may also be thought-provoking when placed in an art museum, but when placed at home, it will look out of place.
Taro Ying couldn't feel the quality of this work. He came close to the painting and sniffed it gently. Then he turned around and lifted his hind legs!
"Akidou sack!" Nagayama Naoki quickly grabbed the little thing by the neck and threw him into the yard. "Where did you learn this bad habit? You should reflect on it outside!"
After such an interruption, Naoki Nagayama let go. Basquiat was originally a casual person, and it didn't matter where his works were placed. Even if they were placed under the wall at the corner, they still represented his art.
Naoki Nagayama nailed this painting to the corner of the stairs.
I met Basquiat at the corner, and now I can see his works at the corner, which is quite fitting.
...
Unexpectedly, at night, Naoki Nagayama started to receive phone calls non-stop. The first one was Tsuruko, and the call came during dinner:
"Ni-chan, have you become the hero on the cover of a magazine?"
Through the phone, you can hear your mother scolding you from behind: "Tsuruko, you can't talk on the phone while eating!"
"Hi~ This photo was taken last year, I don't know why it was selected."
"Is he so powerful? Ni-chan is so handsome! When I was at school, many classmates were asking who this is, can I tell them?" Nagayama Tsuruko said excitedly,
"It's better not to... Speaking of Tsuruko, are you so free at school? Do you still have time to read fashion magazines?"
"Of course..." Before Tsuruko could finish his sentence, his mother took the microphone away and yelled, "Eat well!"
Then my mother nagged me a few words kindly, and then hung up the phone.
Naoki Nagayama, who was halfway through his meal, was about to finish the rest of his dinner when another call came.
It’s actually Higuchi Kananko!
"Naoki-san, I saw you were on the cover of the magazine! Congratulations~" We just talked on the phone two days ago, but Nanzi-san's voice sounded a little hoarse.
"Haha, Nanzi-san, I don't know why you were chosen." Nagayama Naoki heard her voice sound a little hoarse, "But Nanzi-san, are you sick? Your voice sounds a little different."
"Ah, I didn't pay attention when the seasons changed and I accidentally caught a cold~" Higuchi Kananko said, "It's nothing serious."
"That's good, please take care of yourself, Kanan Zisang~"
"By the way, Naoki-san, was the movie you mentioned before filmed in May?" Higuchi Kanako talked about the previous movie again.
When I had a phone call with Higuchi Konanko before, I told him that I wanted to ask him to play the role of the professor's wife: "Hey, Konanko-san suddenly asked, is there a schedule?"
"Hahaha, yes~ I just heard from the director during the day that the other lead actor suffered facial trauma due to pollen allergy and needs to wait for her to recover, so I have to spare about two weeks. Isn't that enough?
?”
"Of course that's enough."
As the wife of a professor, the number of scenes she appears in cannot be said to be too few, but it is not too much. If we shoot intensively, two weeks will definitely be enough.
Nagayama Naoki said happily: "Then it's settled!"
"Hi, it's a pleasure to work with Naoki-san again!"
"Hahaha, I've always looked forward to working with Kananzi-san!"
After chatting some other gossip, after the phone call from Higuchi Kanako ended, the dinner had completely cooled down.
Nagayama Naoki smiled helplessly, finished eating in a few bites, and then looked at Yutaro, who had finished eating the dog food early: "Yutaro, do you want to make a bet? I bet there will be a call tonight!"
"Woof!" Nagayama Naoki interpreted it as "bet!"
"Okay, then whoever loses is the puppy!"
Yotaro looked at the master in front of him... I don't know if he would lose the date bet, but Naoki-san, you are really a dog!
