248, how can there be a movie that ends at the beginning
The weather in Tokyo has entered autumn, but the small island of Okinawa is still very hot and has constant sunshine all year round. It is called the Hawaii of Japan.
Naoki Nagayama put on the floral shirt and big sunglasses he brought back from Hawaii, and came to the island with Masataka Komori and several other members of the filming crew. Otomo Yoshimura will then come with the male and female actors.
He looked up at the bright sunshine and stretched. "Zheng Xiaojun, as expected, this weather is the best~"
"Yes, Naoki-san~" Komori Masataka also quite agreed. The little sea breeze blowing is more comfortable than the weather in Tokyo that changes from time to time.
"Then Masataka-kun, let's find a vacation house first, and use it as our base for filming during this period." Okinawa is considered a tourist destination, and there are hotels available for rent all over the island. If you need it, you can rent it directly.
a house.
As for finding a house, of course it is done by your subordinates. This is the benefit of being a boss~
"The others will first go look for transportation, props, surfboard shops, etc. at noon and then meet at the restaurant here~"
After Nagayama Naoki sent the others to get ready, he wandered alone. The island was not big. He walked along the road and arrived at the beach in less than ten minutes.
A beach that has not been specially groomed definitely does not have the fine white sand like Hawaii. The beaches in Okinawa are actually similar to the tidal flats along the inland rivers. However, the continuous waves wash over and over again, washing most of the beaches away.
All the soil was washed away.
The sea water is not as blue and clear as in the movie. Instead, due to the presence of a large number of impurities, the waves also appear turbid gray-blue, which seems a bit depressing.
After all, this is not a movie, but reality!
He gestured with the frame of the photo with his hands, and Naoki Nagayama was thinking about the filming method of the movie. Only by knowing it well, can the movie be completely shot within a week or two.
Renting a bicycle, Naoki Nagayama took a good tour of the urban area called Kanmu-cho this morning. He also found out where the school and the garbage disposal station were. A rough shooting itinerary was gradually taking shape in his mind.
At noon, after meeting up with Masataka Komori and the others, we enjoyed a local seafood dinner in a small open-air restaurant, and then stayed in a B&B rented by Masataka Komori that was converted from a private residence.
A small signboard is posted at the door. If someone hadn't posted it, you wouldn't know it was a business B&B.
"Naoki-san, we have already told the boss that he will only receive us these days, and he can also cooperate with us for filming in the middle."
"Well, once you see the sign, no one will think that this is not a real residence."
In the afternoon, I sent several people from the filming team out, euphemistically calling it a trip, but in fact it was just to give them a day off to have some fun.
Naoki Nagayama huddled in the room, holding a map and drawing out the shooting route.
When Yoshimura Otomo arrived the next day, he brought the male and female protagonists and the three cat-eye sisters with him. Yoshimura Otomo put on the floral shirt given by Naoki Nagayama. He looked so fancy and surrounded by four beauties.
A wealthy man looking for fun.
"Naoki-san, I brought someone here~" Yoshimura Otomo put away his sunglasses, and his voice was full of vigor, "This is Shimizu Kojiro, you haven't seen it yet~"
The tough young man next to him, who was obviously very handsome but not conspicuous, said hello a little cautiously: "Director Nagayama, this is Kojiro Shimizu. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
"Hi, I'm Naoki Nagayama, this is the first time we meet."
They are almost the same age, and there is no traditional bow between the two, but a handshake instead.
Then Naoki Nagayama turned to the heroine, Yuki Saito, wearing a red sweater, paired with jeans, and a simple ponytail, but what others saw at a glance was still those big bright eyes.
.
"Yuki-san, is this your first time in Okinawa? Are you getting used to it?"
Saito Yuki came alone. For such a young girl, aren't her parents afraid that others will sell her?
"Silly tape, Uncle Fangcun takes good care of me."
Next to him, Yoshimura Otomo said sadly: "Yuki-chan, you always call me uncle, it will speed up the aging of others. I'm obviously still very young, okay~"
Naoki Nagayama patted him on the shoulder helplessly: "Otomo-san, stop struggling~ Your hair doesn't lie~"
Then he said hello to the three wildcat sisters and took them all to the B&B.
This time, all the crew members gathered in the lobby of the B&B, and there were actually more than 10 people. Although it is still far from other big-budget movies, Sparrow has all the internal organs even though it is small.
Naoki Nagayama laid the map he drew yesterday on the coffee table in the middle of the lobby: "Mina-san, now that everyone is here, we can almost start shooting~"
Everyone was looking at the map in the middle. Nagayama Naoki continued to introduce: "There is no detailed shooting plan for this script, so everyone will just follow this map~"
Only the date of filming and the approximate scene were written on the map with a marker, and no other information was known. Everyone had read the plot of the script, but they thought it was just the outline of the story. There must be a script. They were all a little confused for a moment:
"Naoki-san, where are your lines?"
"The movie doesn't have many lines."
A completely silent film would make people feel boring, so the supporting characters will have lines that are embellished, but only a few. This contrast highlights the silence of the film.
Seeing everyone's expressions of incomprehension, Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "Silly tape, just listen to me~"
The director said so, so naturally everyone had nothing to say.
In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki began what can be called the most puzzling shooting.
He first took a Polaroid photo of the hero and heroine, and after revealing himself, he gave it to Saito Yuki and asked her to paste the photo on the surfboard he bought, and then put the surfboard on the beach.
A series of individual footprints were left on the messy beach,
This scene was also photographed by Masataka Komori behind the beach.
"Masaka-kun, how's it going? Has it been filmed?"
"Hi!" How could it not be captured when it's so simple?
Then Nagayama Naoki put the surfboard on the beach again and let the waves wash away.
"Masaka-kun, we need to use a close-up view here. Take the photo! Zoom in."
"Hi!!"
After the filming was completed, he found a high-lying place, threw the surfboard into the sea, and shouted excitedly to Masataka Komori: "Masataka-kun, hurry up, we need to use long shots here.
to small.”
"Hi!!!"
The crew had no idea what he was doing, and even Komori Masataka couldn't figure it out. It felt like he was following an unreliable tour guide to do something here and there.
Until Naoki Nagayama returned to the crew and said with a smile: "Mina-san, the end of our movie has been filmed!"
"???Eh?"
How can any movie shoot the ending first!!!
Nakamori Akina, who is in Tokyo, has just finished her afternoon activities and is discussing the next trip and the next song with everyone in the office of Akina's Publicity Department.
"Shinjuku Music Festival, Ginza Music Festival, Yokohama Music Festival, ABC Music Newcomer Grand Prix, and the fns Music Festival at the end of the year." Nobuo Tomioka pointed to the various music festivals on the schedule, "Akina-chan has to participate in a lot of events before the end of the year.
What about the selection competition~”
"But with the popularity of "Girl A", it is entirely possible to stand out among many works!" Yuzo Shimada is full of confidence, "This year's Newcomer Award must go to Akina-chan."
"That's not necessarily the case. Among other things, Junko Sato of GG Agency is a strong rival. Her debut song "パズル" (Puzzle) and her second song "Love Sound and Rain Sora" both entered the top ten of the music chart.
, the momentum continues unabated!" Nobuo Tomioka was still a little worried.
When she heard about the gg office, Akina, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up. Naoki-san's office.
Shimada Yuzo said aggressively: "Then we should release the next song as soon as possible and take advantage of the current popularity to get even higher."
He already has a song called "1/2 Myth", and if possible, he can arrange a record immediately.
Of course Nobuo Tomioka knew that Shimada Yuzo already had a song in hand, but as a supporter of orthodox idols, he was actually a little dissatisfied with Akina Nakamori's rebellious style.
"It is indeed a good idea to pursue the victory, but will the song "1/2 Myth" really be popular? Will it make Akina-chan's popularity even higher? No one can guarantee it!!!
"Girl A" is just a song written by a little-known composer. It spread widely because of the controversy. The miracle of this song will never be repeated!"
Seeing that Teralin Chao was also listening carefully, Tomioka Nobuo emphasized his tone:
"Besides, does Akina-chan's style have to be completely rebellious? You know, rebellion only satisfies the expectations of some young fans.
I believe Akina-chan has the potential to be liked by everyone!”
Hearing this, Akina Nakamori smiled shyly, obviously very much in agreement.
Shimada Yuzo was choked and speechless. At the beginning, Akina-chan had no choice but to use this evil method because her debut was not going well. Now that it has obviously gained momentum, do you still want to take such risks?
"Then what do you think we should do?!"
In the end, Shimada Yuzo threw the question back to Tomioka Nobuo.
"We are going to pursue the victory! Release the third title song!"
"Eh?"
Shimada Yuzo was about to say, isn't this the same as mine, but he reacted quickly. It turned out that he was thinking of becoming a producer himself. Sure enough, the fierce and fierce expressions just now were all fake, this cunning fox!
"Nobuo-san, do you also have a song? Can you guarantee that it will be really popular? Can it make Akina-chan's popularity even higher?"
Like a bully, he kicked back the question Tomioka Nobuo asked himself just now.
"Hey, I can promise that!"
Nobuo Tomioka's vow made Teralin Chao, who was pretending to be confused, also open his eyes and solemnly said:
"Director Tomioka, this guarantee is already a military order! Do you really have confidence?"
Even the title has become a job title. It seems that Terabayashi Chao is really serious. If Tomioka Nobuo cannot give a good reason, then waiting may mean he is out.
"Hi! The third song I proposed is "second love", which is the song that has been recorded!"
"Oh? That's the one."
Teralin Chao also listened to the demo tape, and it sounded like a good song, but how could Nobuo Tomioka have so much confidence?
"Director Tomioka, why do you have so much confidence?"
"Because it was written and composed by Naoki Nagayama, a song specially given to Akina-chan!" Nobuo Tomioka said seriously,
When Shimada Yuzo heard this name, he immediately became furious.
A few days ago, Nagayama Naoki actually sent a stack of photos to Akina's publicity office. They were all photos of himself when he was drunk in Los Angeles. They didn't use envelopes, they were sent directly tied with a rope for everyone in the office to see.
When we arrived, we made a big joke.
"That guy? So what about that guy? Is he bound to be popular?!"
"It will definitely be popular!"
Nobuo Tomioka answered decisively, and then turned to Terabaro Chao who made the final decision.
"The first song Naoki-san composed was "Blooming Cherry Blossoms", sung by Seiko Matsuda, which once reached No. 1 on the Oricon Chart.
The second song is "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura, I want to see you), sung by Yoshie Kashiwahara, top five on the Oricon chart!
The third and fourth songs are "パズル" (Puzzle) and "Love Sound and Rain Sora", both performed by newcomer Junko Ito, and they also entered the top ten of the Oricon Chart!"
"This is a composer whose first hit is a famous song! Naoki Nagayama is undoubtedly a genius!"
Such a strong performance also shocked Teralin Chao. He really had never carefully compiled the songs composed by Nagayama Naoki: "Is it so amazing?"
"Hey, if Naoki Nagayama hadn't always been very withdrawn and refused to accept customized songs at all, now famous singers would want to invite him to sing."
This irrefutable result left Shimada Yuzo speechless, while Nakamori Akina listened with eyes full of admiration.
Si Linchao closed his eyes and meditated for a while:
""Second Love" was recorded very early and the contract has been signed, right?"
Nobuo Tomioka breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Hi!"
"Then let's make this the third song!" He made the final decision, then looked at Akina and said, "However, Akina-chan's style should not be limited to sweet songs, and preparations for "1/2 Myth" should also begin.
"
"Such a changeable singer may bring a fresh trend to the dull entertainment industry!"
At this stage, Akina Nakamori respected and feared Terabayashi Chao, and of course she agreed with his words.
"Hey, I'll do my best!"
A certain director who was abandoned in the studio looked at the clean hall and was speechless.
"Otomo-san, didn't you ask Naoki-san to help you review the core of the gangster movie? Why did he just leave?"
Itou Shuichi sat blankly in the office for a while. During this period, the filming of gangster movies made him so irritated that he didn't even want to spend energy on self-care. At this time, his face was unshaven and unkempt.
He was still thinking about how to continue dealing with the management and actors, when Ren Bo Qingshui opened the door and walked in like a follower: "Shuichi-san, why are you in a daze here? The studio is already waiting for you! Why don't you hurry over there?
?”
Ah, yes, there is also Ren Boqingshui who is a pusher and a person who has to deal with the situation. The middleman and lubricant who was supposed to coordinate the director and the management, but he completely sided with the other party and squeezed himself desperately.
On the set, although there are Shuyou Pictures staff, most of them are low-level employees who cannot speak, and they seem to be working alone.
"Naoki-san, where are you? I really want to make that movie of yours."
