"Shuichi-san, what are you doing in the editing room?! Go to the studio to shoot!"
Ren Bo Qingshui opened the door of the editing room and immediately started talking loudly,
"The management has promised that there will be no major changes. Everyone else on the set has already arrived. The delayed progress must be made up as soon as possible!"
Itou Shuichi is watching some plots edited by Komori Masataka. It is really interesting. This shot, this composition, and this plot. Although the male and female protagonists do not speak, it looks like a silent film, but the more you watch it, the more interesting it becomes!
Just as he was itching in his hands and wanted to do it himself, he was interrupted by Ren Bo Qingshui.
"Ah, Qingshui-san, don't be so anxious. You have plenty of time to make movies. I'm learning other people's shooting skills!"
Itou Shuichi once again used the excuse of studying. Before the movie production was suspended, he also used the excuse to go to the gang to study.
Shimizu Renbo didn't want to hear his quibbles anymore: "What's there to learn from a movie that was shot in just two weeks? Even Masataka-kun can edit it. Shuichi-san, please stop interfering and come with me to the set!"
As he said that, he took Itou Shuichi's arm and tried to drag him out, "The bosses haven't eaten me up at all these past two days. I'm going to have to sit down, you know?!"
Itou Shuichi also felt a little guilty about Ren Bo Qingshui, so he followed him out half-heartedly.
"Okay, okay, Qingshui-san, please stop it, why don't you let me go with you?"
Then while walking, he said to Komori Masataka: "Masataka-kun, please cut slower. I will help you cut together after I take a break on the set!"
Komori Masataka said with a very respectful look on his face: "Hi~"
However, when Itou Shuichi walked out of the editing room, he immediately vomited it out in one breath and his whole body became a little smaller.
"Fortunately, Qingshui-san arrived in time, otherwise Shuichi-san would have snatched my main scissors!"
It’s not easy to come across an opportunity to edit, and it’s such a good film by Naoki Nagayama. If Shuichi Itou snatches it away, I’ll cry to death!
"Cut slower? That's weird!"
Komori Masataka immediately threw himself into the intense editing. Anyway, Nagayama Naoki had already told him about the subsequent editing and had already picked out the main materials.
"Even if I, Masataka Komori, don't sleep at night, I will get the samples out as soon as possible!"
Yoshimura Otomo is no longer in the studio at this time,
He is not with the artists in the agency, busy with releasing records or announcements, these have been basically handed over to Inada Masamin, freeing up more energy for him to work on more important matters.
.
For example, at this time, he was communicating with Kadokawa Haruki in the headquarters of Kadokawa Shoten.
"Otomo-san, how are you thinking?" Kadokawa Haruki used the high-end tea set in front of him to perform a tea ceremony for Yoshimura Otomo, and then poured a cup of amber tea into a small cup.
Yoshimura Otomo drank the tea in the cup. He was worthy of being the boss of Kadokawa. The top-quality gyokuro left a fragrant aroma on his lips and teeth.
"Haruki-san, actually, our Naoki doesn't care much about which company's name comes first, as long as the names of the director and screenwriter don't change."
Kadokawa Haruki wants to put his name in the title of "The Tale of Hachiko". In fact, he wants a joint production name. In this way, when major rankings and other promotions at the end of the year, the film can be included
Movies are calculated into the data of Kadokawa Pictures,
It doesn't matter to small companies, but in large film production companies, the ranking of total box office at the end of the year and the ranking of the rankings actually represent the company's status and voice in the industry, and it is also the allocation of resources in the film industry for the next year.
An important reference standard.
The factor of brand becomes more important for larger companies.
In the past, Toho was the undisputed number one in the Japanese film industry, while major companies such as Toei, Shochiku, and Nikkatsu could only look up to it.
But this time, if you have "Hachiko Monogatari" with a box office of nearly 4 billion, you can also add "The Time" which has a box office of more than 2 billion, and finally add "Sailor" which has a box office of nearly 2 billion.
"Suit and Machine Gun", maybe this year we can compete with Toho for the first place in the movie category!
If Toho is defeated, it can be said that Kadokawa will become the top film production company in the industry.
Yoshimura Otomo agreed in principle to Kadokawa Haruki's request: "However, since Kadokawa has named it, he will naturally make corresponding gestures."
"?Oh, what do you want Otomo-san to express?"
Yoshimura Otomo's tone was very calm at this time: "I hope Kadokawa will fully support "The Tale of Hachiko" in the film award selection!"
Haruki Kadokawa thought about this for a while, and realized that full support is not something he just talks about casually. Kadokawa's resources will be used, and there may even be favors involved.
"A blue ribbon award? There's nothing wrong with that."
"No!" Yoshimura Otomo directly interrupted Kadokawa Haruki's words, his tone was a little excited, "It's Oscar!"
"?!!Oscar?"
"Hi!" Yoshimura Otomo loosened the tie around his neck, "Actually, we are not too worried about domestic awards. With the quality and box office of "The Story of Hachiko", if the judges choose other movies that are not comparable, then
The fairness of the selection has become a joke."
"What I think is that in the Oscar selection, we need Haruki-san, no, we need Kadokawa's full support!"
Kadokawa Haruki was silent. He didn't expect Yoshimura Otomo's ambitions to be so high, and he actually set his sights on Oscar.
"Otomo-san, you know that since "Miyamoto Musashi" in 1956, Japan has not won an Oscar for 25 years, right?"
"Hey! But Haruki-san, the movie "The Tale of Hachiko" definitely has potential!" Otomo Yoshimura told the story even more excitedly, wanting to impress the big boss of the Kadokawa Group.
Kadokawa Haruki pondered for a while:
"Do Shuichi-san and Naoki-san both want to participate in the Oscar selection?"
In fact, wanting to participate in a film selection is never just a simple vote. The quality of the film is naturally very important, but the support of all forces in the film industry is also crucial.
"You know, if it is a selection such as the Japan Mainichi Film Awards, the Japanese Film Blue Ribbon Award, and the Japan Film Academy Award, Kadokawa's help will almost certainly win one, plus the quality of "The Tale of Hachiko"
, maybe I can get them all.”
Kadokawa Haruki drank a cup of tea, "If all resources are spent on the Oscars, maybe the best result will be just a nomination."
Yoshimura Otomo was also a little uneasy at this time, but he recalled the attitudes of Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi towards the selection. In fact, neither of them paid much attention to these awards.
Naoki Nagayama just wants to make money, and he doesn't care about the honor in the film industry, and has a dispensable attitude; Shuichi Itou thinks that the director of these movies he is named is incompetent, and the big names in the movies are
The direction was all based on Naoki Nagayama's ability, so I didn't expect to win honors.
"They also agreed to participate in the Oscars!" Yoshimura Otomo made the decision for the two of them.
Kadokawa Haruki nodded: "Okay then, let's give it a try!"
At this time, Naoki Nagayama was lying on the sofa, with his feet buried under Taro Taro's belly, watching the program on TV very interestingly,
"Uh-huh? Can you actually do so many tricks in bowling? It sounds like you haven't played it much before. I have to try it next time."
Speaking of which, Nagayama Naoki can be considered a rich man, but he has never played in many of the pastimes that rich people like to play, and he feels that he has missed out on many interesting experiences~
In the afternoon, in a small dk apartment in Nakano District, Chieko prepared a hot meal for her daughter and cleaned up the kitchen after she finished eating.
Looking at Akina Nakamori who was curled up on the sofa watching TV,
"Mingna, I told you that you should lie on the bed to get better faster."
Chieko looked at Akina Nakamori, who was leaning on the sofa cushion, helpless, and put a hot towel on her daughter's forehead.
"I told you it's nothing serious, I'm feeling much better~"
Akina buried her head in her mother's arms and said coquettishly: "You can't watch TV dramas while lying in bed!"
"You can watch the TV series later! Your body is the most important thing."
Akina reluctantly pushed her head into her mother's arms, and then lay on her mother's lap. She was always a little weak after being sick, but with her mother here, she immediately felt at ease.
"Then you'll miss this part of the plot!"
Chieko gently stroked her daughter's hair, feeling pity in her heart.
Although she has never understood it, Chieko also knows that the entertainment industry is a more complicated society than the ordinary workplace, and this young child has to face these alone.
"Akina was not in good health to begin with, and now her health is even worse due to work. That's why the cold is so serious~"
"Ahem. It's okay, Gasang. I also have a good rest between work!"
Nakamori Akina quickly changed the subject. The cold was not particularly serious at first, but it got worse in the end after eating hot pot and watching movies with Naoki-san. This was not allowed to be known to her mother.
"By the way, Gassan, did you see that I won the award? Ginza Music Festival!"
"Ah, the whole family has seen it, and the link to "Best Ten" has also been watched. Akiho is very envious~"
Akina Nakamori smiled and said, "I'm pretty awesome!"
"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Chieko nodded her forehead with a smile, and then changed her tone, "By the way, the newspaper seems to be reporting that Akina and Naoki-kun are having an affair. Is it true?"
"Eh?!" Akina suddenly sat up, "Is there such a report?"
"Well, it was said that the musician fell in love with another person or something." Chieko took out the newspaper from her bag, and the main board clearly showed yesterday's music festival.
Nakamori Akina took it over and looked at it for a while: "It's all nonsense! Naoki-san's song was obviously given last year as a gift for winning "Star! Birth!". How could it be after giving up on Junko Ito?
I just composed the song!"
Chieko nodded, but she felt a little pity in her heart. Naoki Nagayama is handsome, young, rich and talented. He can be said to be the Prince Charming in the eyes of thousands of girls.
"If it's not true, then doesn't Akina have anyone she likes in the entertainment industry?"
Hearing such a question, Xiao Mingcai suddenly became shy, hugged her mother's waist again, and said in a low voice: "No! The agency also does not agree with idols falling in love when they have just debuted, saying that it is a sign of popularity.
Huge damage.”
"Forget it, but if there is someone you like Akina-san, you must take good care of it~" Chieko patted Akina's shoulder, "For example, Naoki-kun is very suitable."
"Ah? What are Gasang talking about! I won't tell you anymore~~~"
Akina rolled vigorously in her mother's arms again.
Naturally, Yuzo Shimada of the Akina Publicity Section also saw today’s report,
"Why is this guy Nagayama Naoki again? He's obviously been involved in constant scandals. Why does he come here to flirt with us, Akina-chan!"
Tomioka Nobuo said something objectively from the side,
"Yu San-san, you can't say that. The copyright of "Second Love" has been obtained a long time ago. Naoki Nagayama doesn't know when we will release it. It can only be said that it is a coincidence."
However, after giving an objective explanation, Tomioka Nobuo also turned into an accusation: "But this guy, every time he meets Akina, there will be no good things! He is always haunted, and I wonder if I will let Akina one day.
I went to the temple to perform rituals to remove filth!"
Nakamori Akina’s agent Hatanaka Kenji was also in Akina’s office at this time, and wanted to communicate with them about changes in her schedule. When she heard that both of them were talking about Naoki Nagayama, she became a little curious:
"Nobuo-san, Yusan-san, what's going on with Naoki Nagayama? It sounds like he has a lot of bad connections with Akina-chan?"
Yuzo Shimada remembered the fragmented photos that Naoki Nagayama had sent before, and began to say bad things: "That guy is just a playboy! With his young pretty face(?) and great luck in his success, he is in the arts
Everyone in the Noh industry doesn’t know anything about female artists!”
"Kenji-san, do you know? He has only been in the entertainment industry for less than two years, and he has already had scandals with four or five female artists!"
"Hey, are you such a playboy?"
Kenji Hatanaka was shocked. As an agent, he naturally has an understanding of the entertainment industry, but for a newcomer like Naoki Nagayama, if there is no interest, he only has a general impression.
"Before, I only heard that he was a relatively lonely creator and talented screenwriter."
Nobuo Tomioka scratched his head: "Regardless of other aspects, it is true that he is talented!"
"That guy, in addition to having five well-known songs, is also a best-selling author of two books. He is also the screenwriter of two blockbuster movies."
"This is already a genius!" Kenji Hatanaka felt that this person was a bit unreal.
Shimada Yuzo was unhappy. This man looked nice, but secretly he liked to take photos of others!
"Don't worry about anything else, Kenji-san. In short, when escorting Akina-chan to other jobs, be careful about this guy! Don't let him get too close to Akina!"
Tomioka Nobuo also agreed and said: "Based on Akina-chan's career alone, we cannot allow the two of them to have too much contact! This man Naoki Nagayama is really too dangerous!"
At this moment, Kenji Hatanaka suddenly had a picture pop up in his mind. Yesterday, when he was at the Ginza Music Festival, he noticed that Akina was not at her seat during the award ceremony. Then when he went out of the banquet hall to look for it, he found that Akina-chan seemed to be talking to someone.
I originally thought he was just an ordinary acquaintance, but I took a quick glance and didn't pay attention.
But now that I think about it, the other impressions of that person are blurry, but there is no doubt that he is handsome.
Could it be that the person chatting with Akina was Naoki Nagayama?
Damn it, under his nose, Nagayama Naoki actually had contact with Nakamori Akina!
This Naoki Nagayama is indeed a very dangerous person!
