The filming location for "The Tale of Hachiko" was set in an old house in Ueno, Tokyo.
Different from the prosperous Tokyo with many high-rise buildings, Shitamachi has many old streets and low-rise houses. Only in places like this can you find old houses from decades ago.
Fangcun Dayou found a well-maintained one-family house, rented it after negotiating with the owner, and did a little renovation to make it convenient for shooting.
In addition, other scenes such as stations and streets are also found in similar old neighborhoods.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived, the film crew members had already arrived, and everyone was already very familiar with how to shoot a movie:
Indou Shuichi was discussing the filming schedule of the movie with several leading actors, Yoshimura Otomo was communicating with the agents about the schedule, extras, etc., while Masataka and Masaaki, one was arranging the camera, and the other was dealing with various big things.
Chores big and small.
Everyone has a clear division of labor and performs their duties, except Naoki Nagayama, who arrived late.
Yintang Shuichi, who was discussing with the leading actors, turned around and said, "Damn it, it hasn't started yet."
If this were an ordinary actor or employee, he might have to bow down and apologize at this time, but the one who is late is the company's big boss and film producer.
Fangcun Otomo said from the side: "The goddess will be here soon, and the power-on ceremony can be held soon."
"Hey, I got it."
Then he nodded to the actors next to him: "Shinichi-san, Nanzi-san, you are all here~"
"Hi, good morning." "Good morning Naoki-san~"
Both of them had put on the traditional kimono attire of that era. Chiba Ma had a strong body hidden in the loose kimono and looked elegant, while Higuchi Kananko was dressed in a pale blue kimono, dignified and elegant.
Intellectual.
The little girl wearing a kimono next to her is naturally a new actor who is famous but has never been seen before.
"And this is Ms. Nana Okada. First time meeting me. I am Naoki Nagayama, the screenwriter of this movie."
Nagayama Naoki has no previous impression of Okada Nana at all. This is the first time he has met Okada Nana.
The baby-faced former idol is obviously about the same age as Higuchi Kananko, but she looks like they belong to two generations. Even if she and Nakamori Akina are put together, they seem to look similar.
"Hi, this is the first time we meet. I'm Nana Okada. Please give me your advice."
Her voice sounds very mature and steady, not like a girl, but almost all Showa idols are good at falsetto, so I can’t tell how it will turn out during filming.
They had just met and didn’t chat much. Naoki Nagayama and Konanko Higuchi chatted about the movie she was filming recently and the current situation of their mutual friend Yuko Tanaka.
"Yuko-chan is very busy right now. I don't even have time to ask her to go shopping." Higuchi Kananko's tone was a bit angry that her best friend was letting her go.
"I remember that she was filming "Oshin", right?" Naoki Nagayama recalled, but he had never seen this TV series in his memory. He vaguely remembered that it was a morning drama. "I heard that it was a long TV series.
morning drama."
"Hey, it is said that there are more than 200 episodes, and Yuko-chan is also participating in "Amagikyo Mystery" at the same time, so she is basically running around on the set every day."
Haha, this movie is the origin of Yuko Tanaka's famous line "Anisan~". Naoki Nagayama thought of a certain part in advance and almost laughed out loud.
"Naoki-san, what's so funny?" Higuchi Kananko looked puzzled, "What happened to Yuko-chan's movie?"
"Ah, it's nothing. It has nothing to do with Yuko-san. I just thought of something funny."
The only one who can be called the ceiling of pure desire by future generations because of one line is probably Yuko Tanaka.
Before Tongguchi Kananzi could continue to ask questions, Yoshimura Otomo called from not far away: "Mina-san, come here, the ceremony is about to begin."
Ah, the goddess has arrived.
A year later, the goddess, who was over fifty years old, had a rosy face and was in good spirits. It seemed that the big red envelope she received last time must have been very generous.
This time I left the familiar environment and came to Ueno to pray. It is probably because of the sincerity of Yoshimura Otomo.
After placing the sacrifices on the table, there was as usual a blaring dance, and then some incantations that no one could understand. After a few rounds of dancing around with the magical instruments, the goddess said slightly weakly: "
The gods have accepted your offerings."
Then the goddess was done. Shuichi Yoto, Otomo Yoshimura, and Naoki Nagayama led all the film crew members to perform incense, and the opening ceremony was completed.
Shooting is finally about to begin!
...
The Akina Publicity Department is having a meeting. Employees such as Chao Terabaro, Nobuo Tomioka, Yuzo Shimada, and the staff of Kenyin are all in the conference room.
Kenyin's president, Hanami Hiroshi, was the one who intercepted Akina Nakamori and was convinced that she had the talent to become a top idol.
He said in the conference room: "Akina-chan's debut song didn't turn out well. Does Section Chief Terabaro have anything to say?"
Si Linchao nodded: "The promotion of Mingcai Sauce is too tough, especially buying magazine space is an approach that is not worth the gain. I will reflect on this."
"However, I still think Akina-chan's promotion route is not wrong. At a time when other idols are competing on TV stations, it is not wrong to start from offline small and medium-sized cities and accumulate popularity step by step."
Hanami Hyuk was noncommittal about this. After all, this promotion model still needs time to test: "So, have you thought about Akina-san's next song? What style are you planning to follow?"
In fact, what he wants to ask is whether the positioning of Nakamori Akina needs to be adjusted. Is this image of a somewhat sexy milk-white girl suitable for Akina's future development?
"Hey, we have already discussed this, and there will be some adjustments during the next song." Teran Chao said, "As for one's own image, Akinajiang's own wishes cannot be ignored."
Hana Jianhe was a little confused: "Mingcai Jiang herself? Did she put forward any opinions?"
"Yes, I have always been dissatisfied with this image."
"That's it..."
At this time, Tera Linchao suddenly cue Shimada Yuzo: "Shimada-kun, don't you have something to say?"
"Ah, yes." Shimada Yuzo took out a novel "Etaro" from his hand, "Gentlemen, regarding bad culture, school violence, bosozoku, etc., they have already taken root among Japanese teenagers."
"This year's super hit "Sailor Suits and Machine Guns" shows that young people are unwilling to accept the status quo and are full of rebellious thoughts."
"So I think that if you want to change the image and style, maybe you can consider the direction of rebellious girls."
When he heard this, Hana Jianhe laughed: "Are you a big sister, Akina? Hahaha~"
"It sounds interesting, but will there really be a market for it? And, will it conflict with the concept of idols?"
Teran Chao said at this time: "Actually, Mingcai Jiang is very popular among young people. This can be seen from the offline fans, and the sales of records are slowly picking up."
"In the eyes of adults in the media, Akina-chan may not be their perfect idol, but in the hearts of young people, Akina-chan is their idol! So maybe we should stand more from the perspective of young people.
Let’s see what they like.”
This old fox! Hana Jianhe complained in his heart. He clearly supported the style of rebellious girls, but he said some high-sounding words.
"In that case, let's give it a try."
In the end, Hua Jianhe agreed.
...
No one expected that the first scene was shot in the mourning hall. Although the name on the memorial tablet was not Chiba Shinichi, this guy still ran to the corner of the set to smoke as if to avoid suspicion.
The half-grown Akita dog, under the guidance of the dog trainer, ran into the mourning hall and barked at the memorial tablet.
The other actors around had expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces, and the wife played by Higuchi Kanako had tears in her eyes...
After filming the previous movie, Shuichi Yoto's shooting techniques became more and more proficient. Coupled with the efficient cooperation of his apprentice Masataka Komori, the entire filming process went very quickly.
The leading actors are all experienced actors, and they can often complete a scene in just two or three takes. During the entire filming process, the most troublesome thing was indeed the three Hachikos. Even with the help of professional dog trainers, NG
The number of times is also increasing.
Nagayama Naoki and Yoto Shuichi watched the footage behind the camera together.
"Naoki-san, it seems that the biggest problem of this movie will appear on Hachiko."
"Haha, Shuichi-san, what can you do? After all, they are the protagonists." Nagayama Naoki seemed to be a little irritable when he saw several puppies. "Xiusichi-san, dogs are different from people. They are not affected by
Specialized training will not suppress one's emotions. I think the three Hachikos are a little impatient, is it time to take a rest?"
Yintang Shuichi also looked at the Akita dog's condition and nodded: "Okay, let's take a rest!"
When the photography team dispersed and rested, Naoki Nagayama took Taro's puppy biscuits to visit the three Hachikos. After all, snacks are the most soothing thing.
Taking advantage of the break, Nana Okada chatted with Konanko Okuguchi: "Kananko-san, that Mr. Naoki Nagayama, I remember he is an actor, right? Why does he look like a director?"
"Naoki-san," Higuchi Kananko looked at the figures over there who were comforting several Hachiko, "Naoki-san is an actor, a screenwriter, a director, a producer... In short, he is the biggest boss on this set.
First, if he speaks, even Director Yin Tang will obey him."
"Hey, is he such a powerful person?" Okada Nana has also tried to participate in several movies in the past few years when her popularity has declined. She is fully aware of the director's majesty on the set, "But Nanzi-san, have you known each other before?
?”
"Hi, we have worked together twice. Naoki-san was just entering the industry at that time." Konanko Okuguchi recalled the scene of their first meeting, "When we were filming a beverage commercial, I realized that Naoki-san was very talented...
..”
Here, Konanko Oeguchi is introducing her own treasures to Naoki Okada, Nana Asri and Nagayama, making this baby-faced former idol exclaim from time to time.
"There are already 3 hit songs? Each one is a big hit?!"
Returning to the recording industry, Nana Okada felt even more deeply. Composers who can reach the top of the Oricon charts are considered famous creators, and they still have three songs on the list in a row.
"Does Naoki-san accept the creative commission?" This outdated idol really wants to invite Nagayama Naoki to sing.
"I've never heard of it... I guess I won't accept it."
Tongguchi Kananzi thought for a while, "It seems that I only write songs for singers I like."
"Well..." The girl looked disappointed.
At this time, Naoki Nagayama, who had finished masturbating the three dogs, walked up to the two of them and said, "Kanako-san, Okada-san, what are you talking about?"
The two of them answered in a panic:
"Ah, just some things in the script..."acting skills and so on..."
"Eh? That's weird." But Naoki Nagayama didn't think much about it, "I'll take a few more shots of Kananko-san and the interaction between Okada-san and Hachiko later, and the morning's shooting mission will be almost over."
"Hi~"
The two people looked at Nagayama Naoki, but didn't say anything. They just let him talk nonsense and walked away after a few nonsense words.
"You see, Naoki-san is really handsome!" Oguchi Kananko watched the person leave before gossiping with Okada Nana.
Okada Nana also blushed slightly and nodded gently,
The two laughed lightly.
Returning to the camera, Indo Shuichi casually asked Nagayama Naoki: "Have you told them about the filming situation? Why do you feel so depressed? Is there any problem?"
"There's no problem, it's just a little strange. Shuichi-san, can girls become good friends so quickly?" Nagayama Naoki looked at the two of them again, and they were whispering and laughing happily.
Yin Tangxiuyi shrugged: "I can't figure it out either. My wife's psychology is completely incomprehensible. Sometimes she doesn't even know why she's angry."
"But it is said that if two girls have a common topic of curiosity, they will quickly become best friends."
"So that's what it is."
...
Toyota car store,
Sales manager Hirayama Akihiro, who was about to get off work, was chatting with the store manager.
"Akihiro-san, how are the recent contract signings?"
"Hi, there are indeed three customers who have purchased the latest models and will come to pick up the cars tomorrow."
"They are all the latest models. Fortunately, it is this kind of car. It is said that after the production line was improved, the output increased significantly, so the car was available so quickly."
"Has the production increased significantly?" Akihiro Hirayama thought of the words of the young guest before, which had made him unable to sleep well for a long time. "Has the production of luxury cars like the Toyota Century also increased significantly?"
"How is that possible? Some parts of this car model need to be polished by hand, and the production cannot be increased." The store manager curled his lips, "There are still a large number of people waiting in line for the car!"
Akihiro Hirayama quietly probed: "Isn't there a way to jump in line..."
"How can an indicator like that be easily obtained by either a political official or an entrepreneur?" the store manager said casually while looking at the receipt, "unless they suddenly have something to do and don't want it anymore."
Hirayama Akihiro's eyes lit up. Is it possible to create such an indicator?
"Store manager Sang, have you met your performance targets for this month? Do you want to go out for a drink after get off work?"
"Eh? Are Akihiro-san so interested? Of course that's great!"
