253, Xiu Yisang, do you want to go to the real gang to experience it?
.......
A year later, when I saw Kashiwara Yoshie again, it was still in a recording studio, but it was the recording studio of Tokyo University of Music.
Pushing open the door marked "Microphone Room", there is an open space inside, about the size of a university classroom. The musicians of the Tokyo Jisei Orchestra have already set up their formations inside and are adjusting their instruments.
Takeda Ichimori, whom I met before, was chatting with Yoshimura Otomo and the idol singer next to him.
"Otomo-san, Takeda-san, you are already here~" Nagayama Naoki greeted the group after walking towards it, "Miss Kashiwara Yoshie, long time no see~"
At this time, Yoshie Kashiwahara had a standard crotch, with delicate and deep facial features, tall and straight roots and a round face, giving her a sense of European elegance and nobility.
Wearing a white cardigan over a red plaid shirt, paired with a knee-length red and white plaid pleated skirt, the whole person looks more mature.
"Oh, and Mr. Nagashima Daigo."
Naoki Nagayama still has an impression of this agent.
"Hi, long time no see Naoki-san~" Yoshie Kashiwahara bowed softly and said hello,
Next to him, Nagashima Daigo also greeted him respectfully. Kashiwahara Yoshie's other songs this year did not cause any waves. If it were not for the renewal of "Sakura Sakura Wants to See You", Kashiwara Yoshie's idol career may have to retreat. Went to the second line.
"I'm sorry to bother Kashiwahara-san today. We can't start until the band's recording is finished. But today's dubbing is relatively simple, so don't worry~"
Nagayama Naoki first offered a few words of comfort, because the last time he made a record he was said to be too strict, so now Nagayama Naoki will consciously pay attention to other people's mentality.
"Hey, I'll do my best!"
But I don’t know why, Kashihara Yoshie’s expression became even more nervous~
Is what I said wrong? I obviously told people not to worry? Nagayama Naoki is a little confused...
The Tokyo Jiaosei Orchestra is a very mature orchestra and has come here to record many times. After rehearsing once under the baton of the orchestra conductor, the recording process officially started.
There are about a dozen radio microphones facing different musical instruments, and the whole thing is so arrogant that it makes people confused.
The entire length of "silent love" is only over 5 minutes, but at the request of the recording studio staff, the entire recording process lasted more than an hour because some instruments had to be recorded separately.
Even Nagayama Naoki has to admire the seriousness of the staff of Tokyo University of Music. I, Nagayama Naoki, would like to call you recording immortals!
Yoshie Kashiwahara, who had been waiting for more than an hour, finally waited for her time.
The first time I listened to "silent love", I was very moved, but after listening to it for more than an hour...it's still pretty good.
Kashiwahara Yoshie actually still doesn't know what she wants to sing at this time. To her, this piece of music is already perfect.
"Kashiwahara-san, the lyrics to be dubbed this time are very simple, only one sentence 'silent love, forever love'" Nagayama Naoki told Kashiwahara Yoshie the key to dubbing, and while playing the song he had just recorded, he demonstrated softly, "Just hum or whisper softly. It's best to express an ethereal feeling."
Yoshie Kashiwahara seemed to understand, but as long as she kept her voice soft, it shouldn't be too different. After humming along with the music a few times, she
"Hey, I got it!"
During the first recording, Ichimori Takeda of the Tokyo Koisei Orchestra was also staying nearby. He wanted to hear what Nagayama Naoki said about the feeling of adding human voices.
Like a chemical reaction, the originally beautiful melody suddenly became impactful, and the ethereal female voice seemed to bring people into a beautiful and timeless love.
"This is really...really...a piece of music that will be remembered~" Takeda Kazumo murmured to himself, and the manager Daigo Nagashima next to him was also deeply attracted by the music.
Nagayama Naoki was listening to it at the console, and it felt very good. However, for the sake of possible problems when mixing the sound later, he still said after Kashiwara Yoshie stopped:
"Kashiwara-san, you sang very well! Let's record it again!"
Yoshie Kashiwahara who was in the recording room was stunned for a moment. Why was it exactly the same as what she said at that time? This time she didn't even find a reason and just wanted to record it again...
...
Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura, who had been busy all morning, returned to the studio to take a break. Unexpectedly, they saw Masami Inada, who was often missing, chatting with Masataka Komori.
This guy is now working as Ito Junko’s exclusive agent, running around all day long. Yoshimura Otomo also consciously handed over Ito Junko’s related work to him.
On the one hand, it is to reduce his own burden, and on the other hand, it is to allow Inada Masamin to contact as many television production bureaus, other agents, celebrities, etc. as possible, so as to accumulate experience and connections for him to become a man behind the scenes in the entertainment industry.
"Masaki-kun, are you actually resting in the studio today?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised when he saw the person, "Junko-chan, didn't you have any announcement to go?"
"Hi, I'm currently in the process of singing training for the third song, which will be recorded in the next two days."
Masami Inada talked about the work progress of Junko Ito. As a popular idol artist, Junko Ito’s announcements have been constant, and the trend is getting stronger.
"Oh? What's the song called?" Nagayama Naoki asked curiously,
"The name is "Snowy Night" and it is a song about winter love."
Masamin Inada honestly told the name of the song, but Naoki Nagayama had no impression of it after hearing the name. It seemed like a song without any controversy~
"Hahaha, as expected, the songs nowadays are all tied to love or something."
Perhaps it was this attitude that caught the attention of Otomo Fangcun, who said in a normal conversational tone:
"Yes, Naoki-san's last song "Unrequited Love" was also about love, as was "Slient Love". What other songs are there?"
"Ah...and "桜色马うころ(When the Cherry Blossoms Are Flying)" is also there..."
As soon as the words came out, Nagayama Naoki immediately felt bad. Sure enough, Yoshimura Otomo smiled and sighed leisurely,
"Ah, there is another song "桜色马うころ(When the Cherry Blossoms Are Flying)"~"
Fangcun Dayou, you old bastard!
In order to avoid this topic, Nagayama Naoki immediately brought the topic back to Inada Masamin,
"By the way, Yaming-kun, you were the one who was negotiating the copyright of the three Maoyan sisters, right?"
"Hey, the copyright discussion is almost over!"
It took a lot of time to obtain the consent of the original author, Hojo Tsukasa, but now that the original author has agreed, the negotiation with "Weekly Shonen Jump" is just a matter of price.
"So to what extent?"
"In view of the popularity of comics, it is currently calculated based on B-level, and Shueisha's requirement is 3 million." Masamin Inada replied, "I think it can be lowered a bit..."
It was only 3 million. Nagayama Naoki was about to say that it was so cheap, why not just sign it.
Suddenly it occurred to me that Inada Masamin's current annual salary is only 3 million yen... It's better not to hurt other people's work enthusiasm...
"...Ah, Yaming-kun, just take care of your father!"
"Hi! I'll try my best!"
Later, I discussed with Yoshimura Otomo about the changes of the three Maoyan sisters, and they wanted to re-produce a TV series tailored for several members of the Wild Cat Group. This news suddenly aroused the strong interest of Yoshimura Otomo.
It was obviously the first girl group that I led, but now it has fallen to the point where it is about to fall apart, and I still feel a little bit lost in my heart.
Just as he was talking, Itouxiu, who had been hiding for a long time, pushed the door open and walked into the studio. As he walked, he loudly said to Shimizu Renbo behind him: "What on earth do they want to do! Are they playing house?"
?”
Renbo Qingshui also eagerly pulled Yi Tang Shuichi's arm, trying to persuade him something, but Yi Tang Shuichi did not want to listen, and the two of them walked towards the office in a tug-of-war manner.
Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura quickly shut up at this time and huddled behind Masamin Inada and Masataka Komori, trying to avoid Shuichi Itou's gaze.
Not only because I left him to go to Okinawa before, but also because Shuichi Itou is obviously in a furious state now, and anyone who touches him will be sprayed with blood!
But Komori Masataka, a naive person, still greeted his master warmly when he saw him coming back:
"Xiu Yisang, you are back!"
"Ah, I'm back!" Itouxiu replied unconsciously, and when he turned his eyes, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura were both there!
"Ha, I'm back!" Then he turned around and continued walking to the office.
This is obviously an awkward situation...
Nagayama Naoki sighed and looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "I can't escape now..."
Fangcun Otomo also nodded: "Oh... there is no other way, let's go in."
Letting the others go about their business, the two slowly walked into the office. Itou Shuichi sat behind the desk, gulping down cold water, while Ren Bo Qingshui was still trying to persuade him.
"Shuichi-san, there is nothing we can do about this. New idols do have image problems of one kind or another. I want to change the script temporarily this time to ensure that the movie will not have an impact on the artist's positioning~"
"Then why do you want to make a gangster movie or a romance movie? Now that you are sure to participate and you know the plot of the character, do you know how much impact changing the script will have on the movie at this time?"
"Xiu Yisang, after all, he is an investor, and he still attaches great importance to the artist's image in the eyes of the public. This artist is on the rise and has a lot to do in the future!"
"Then don't come and shoot my movie! And Qingshui-san, you are from Shuyou Pictures. You have to consider the problem from our perspective! You can't always make excuses for them!"
Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo listened for a long time before they understood what happened.
It turns out that I have a problem with the image of the heroine. The current heroine has a long-term image of a beautiful girl, but this time she has the image of a bad girl in a gangster movie.
This caused dissatisfaction with one of the management companies, the heroine's agency, who believed that this might have a negative impact on the artist's future development, so they thought about changing the script...
Naoki Nagayama felt incredible when he heard this. Is there such a thing? He couldn't help but interjected:
"Arnold, Qingshui-san, it's been half a month since the filming of the movie started, and you still have to change the positioning and image of the heroine? Doesn't all the plot have to change? All the previous efforts have been in vain!"
Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki at this time, wanting to say something but still didn't speak, while Renbo Qingshui looked at Nagayama Naoki with surprised eyes,
"Naoki-san, the movie has just started shooting. The heroine's role has not yet been played. It can still be changed."
"Nani?! It's been half a month and you still haven't found the heroine?"
Nagayama Naoki was shocked, I have finished shooting a movie here!
"There is no way around this. The actors' schedules need to be coordinated, and the early shooting locations also need to be communicated and prepared. In addition, there are many extras, and the director's requirements are also relatively high..."
Shimizu Renbo started to explain, but all kinds of messy things had delayed it, so so far only some backgrounds and the appearance of the male protagonist have been filmed.
Yoshimura Otomo also quietly said to Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, joint filming is almost like this. The first month is basically running in, and then the filming process will be faster, but it will take about half a year in total.
Only then can a movie be completed.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Naoki Nagayama, meaning that people like Naoki Nagayama who can make a movie in half a month are the real weirdos.
"I see......"
Nagayama Naoki nodded. He already had a formed movie in his mind, so he could draw it very accurately and very quickly.
Ordinary directors need to experiment over and over again, and may also change the plot while filming.
"Then why is Shuichi-san angry?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "Since the filming hasn't started yet and the management has needs, then just listen to them?"
What's there to be angry about? Isn't this commonplace for repeated modifications and adjustments to Party A, who I couldn't explain in my previous life?
Of course, Party A’s financial sponsor father’s needs are left to his own devices~
He paid for it!
However, Itou Shuichi was very angry: "Such a change has completely lost the main line of the movie! The heroine is not a bad girl, so what kind of gangster movie is this? Let's just call it a house movie!"
"Isn't a movie about a gangster falling in love with White Lotus very touching?" Nagayama Naoki said easily, "As for whether it is a gangster movie, it doesn't depend on whether the heroine is bad~"
Itou Shuichi didn't understand: "Then what is a gangster movie? Isn't it just about fighting and killing, blood flowing all over the ground, plus loyalty, benevolence, righteousness, and samurai ethics?"
Shuichi Itou mistook gangster movies for sword and halberd movies~
"It's still a little different... Shuichi-san, gangsters are also ordinary people. The joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people all exist!"
"So what? Does it have anything to do with the inner core of the gang?" Itou Shuichi has not had any in-depth contact with the gang, so there are only superficial phenomena.
"This is difficult to explain. After all, I am not a gangster..." Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of his gangster grandfather and cousin in his hometown. "You need to ask professionals about this."
"Shuichi-san, do you want to experience a real gangster?" This chapter has been completed!
