Suddenly being assigned a role, Nagayama Naoki was a little caught off guard and originally planned to refuse.
"How can this be possible? I'm not an actor, I'm the screenwriter of this TV series~"
Otasu Sugiura laughed when he heard this: "Haha, yes, Naoki-san is still the screenwriter and director, but Naoki-san must also want his story to be perfect~"
Nishi Rumei became excited and helped: "Yes, yes, the appearance and temperament are very suitable. And as the creator of the script, my understanding of the characters must be better than anyone else's. Taken together, no one is as good as Naoto."
Mulberry tree is more suitable!"
"Forehead"
That's true, but I am obviously a high-status creator. If I act in a play, will it lower my style?
Otasu Sugiura added fuel to the fire: "If Naoki-san participates in the film, he will be both an investor, a producer, and a starring actor. He will have absolute power in the entire film production process!"
Nishirumi even repeated: "Absolute power!"
The implication is that the production of the movie can be completely based on Naoki Nagayama's ideas, including where to shoot, how to shoot, and when to shoot. Even (unspoken rules) such things as changing roles midway are completely okay!
Speaking of which, it’s very interesting to perfectly capture your childhood memories, isn’t it?
If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem unacceptable, right?
The feeling of lowering one’s style is actually just my own psychological feeling. Doesn’t it mean that a writer is no longer a writer if he makes a TV series~
"Ahem." Nagayama Naoki coughed twice and said pretentiously, "Since Otaisan and Nishirumi-san have made such a gracious request, then I will reluctantly agree~"
Photo studio, small office.
"So, Naoki-san is going to participate in the show?"
Komori Masataka's eyes widened and he looked at Yoshimura Otomo with some uncertainty, while the Mediterranean agent, who was getting bigger and bigger, was leisurely drinking a cup of tea.
"This is Naoki-san, I'm used to it~"
Nagayama Naoki asked angrily: "Otomo-san said that I always seem to do troublesome things."
"Isn't it?" Fangcun Otomo said faintly, "I don't care about the songs after they are produced. I don't cooperate with the movie promotion, and I don't pay attention to the company's operations. I disappear suddenly to go on vacation, and there are always scandals."
"Hey, hey, it's not my fault that the scandal was spread!" Naoki Nagayama interrupted quickly, otherwise I don't know what Yoshimura Otomo would have said.
"Oh~ I just denied the scandal~"
Yoshimura Otomo glanced sideways, the glasses on the bridge of his nose were covered by the steam from the hot tea, and there was no fleeting light, but this sight already had one percent of the aura of Commander Ikari.
"Otomo-san."
"Well, it would actually be good if Naoki-san participated." Yoshimura Otomo immediately changed the topic, leaving Nagayama Naoki with nowhere to vent his anger. "At least during the filming of the TV series and subsequent distribution, Shuyou Pictures will be able to get more
many."
Nagayama Naoki also nodded, saying that was indeed correct, and then remembered something more,
"Otomo-san, there should be no male singers in our office at the moment."
"What does Naoki-san mean?"
"Actually, it would be more suitable for male voices to sing the theme songs of "Meteor Shower", "One Person's Romance" and "Recollections of Memories"." Naoki Nagayama frowned, "If there is no suitable candidate, then
We need to call in foreign aid."
Yoshimura Otomo also frowned. It was indeed true. In this case, wouldn't these three theme songs be given to others in vain?
You know, singles tied with popular TV series usually have very good sales. If they are used to promote a new artist, they may be able to directly reach the top of the Oricon charts.
"Naoki-san, the shooting should be next year, right?"
"Hey, it will probably be around January, and I'm thinking of completing the release around April. It would be best to release it before the romantic cherry blossom season."
In this era, there was no such thing as moon drama. According to the seasons, January, April, July, and October are all good times for TV dramas to be released.
Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "That's good, then let's work hard to sign a few male artists during this period!"
"Um, just for a few songs?"
"That's not a few songs! Naoki-san, do you know how the entertainment world evaluates the songs you create?" Yoshimura Otomo sighed, "The golden record fell from the sky! It means that no matter it is
Whoever picks it up is gold from heaven. For new idols, it is also a golden stepping stone in the entertainment industry."
Since Akina Nakamori's "sebsp;love" reached No. 1 on the Oricon Charts, the reputation of composer Naoki Nagayama has become even more famous. Otomo Yoshimura has received many song invitation requests from other agencies, but he has rejected them all.
.
In addition to Naoki saying that his creations all rely on inspiration and he does not want to accept customized songs, it is also because he doesn’t have enough points, so how can he let them out again?
"That's it, Otomo-san, let's figure it out~"
Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Don't let outsiders do it. If it's appropriate, let your own artists sing."
"By the way, how's it going with Xiu Yi-san? Can it be completed within a month?"
The two of them turned their attention to Masataka Komori at the same time. This guy was recently dragged to the set to assist his "master".
"Ah, Shuichi-san's filming went relatively smoothly. After this period of rush work, it is said that the filming will be completed before the year. If the subsequent editing work is faster, we will definitely be able to catch up with the filming of "Boys Over Flowers"."
"Is this so?" Naoki Nagayama felt that they were a little too optimistic, because the previous movies screened by Shuyu all had the memories in Naoki Nagayama's mind as a reference, so they were able to edit so smoothly. He was not there this time.
"Well, let's just give it a try. Anyway, Shuichi-san and Masako-kun will have to learn to be independent on their own in the future~"
Nagayama Naoki looks at these two people like a parent looking at a thriving child.
And Shuichi Itou, who was being discussed by several people, sneezed loudly at this time, with an unkempt beard, holding a large loudspeaker in a slovenly manner, and made a hoarse voice:
"Mina-san, the weather is very good today, and we need to shoot as soon as possible! Brother from the Matsuba Association over there, quickly put on your black suit! Don't lose your careless attitude!"
After the Matsuba Society successfully bought shares last time, Itou Shuichi did not stop doing anything. He directly borrowed a group of young delinquents and pattern-covered Yakuza from the society to perform in the group, not to mention filming.
The feeling came up all of a sudden.
A young school delinquent was a little unhappy after hearing the order. He walked next to the adult Yakuza and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, that guy is too arrogant. He always asks us to do this and that. He doesn't take Matsuba Association seriously at all. Do you want to teach him a lesson?"
Yakuza, who seemed to be the leader, slapped the delinquent on the head: "Teach me a lesson? What lesson? Don't you know that the last time this guy came to the headquarters, he called him the team leader?"
"Huh? Could it be that he is also a Yakuza?!"
"I don't know either, but it's definitely not easy for someone to be able to be brothers with the team leader without changing their expressions! You guys are still filming well, maybe you will become big stars in the future!"
This Yakuza is also quite young, so he hangs out with these bad guys. For a low-level Yakuza, if he can become an actor, who would want to do such a life-threatening business!
As soon as Yi Tangxiu saw a few people dilly-dallying, he immediately called over with a loudspeaker: "You guys! What are you still dilly-dallying about? You might as well change your clothes quickly!"
"Hi!!"
Ever since I got this speaker on the set, Shuichi Itou felt like a peerless swordsman who had found a top-notch sword. His whole person was filled with aura.
Speaking of which, I went to Nagayama Naoki's hometown and the direct descendants of the Yamaguchi-gumi to learn about the daily life of the authentic yakuza. It was really helpful.
Now even to those Yakuza from the Matsuba Society, I can shout it with great momentum.
While several people at Shuyou Pictures were already discussing plans for next year, a major decision about them was unfolding in Tokyo.
The Mainichi Film Awards jury is counting this year’s preliminary film recommendations in order to select nominees for major awards.
However, at this time, one of the judges, Yoshihiko Ishizaki, uttered a question: "Chairman Kazuyuki Honma, there is something strange about this year's film."
Kazuyuki Honma said in a clear tone: "There must be very few people who nominated "The Tale of Hachiko"."
"Well, there are indeed very few people who recommend him for the Japan Film Awards, but he has good nominations for the Best Director Award and the Best Screenplay Award."
"Right, after all, it has been revealed that there will be no Best Actor and Actor, and there will be no Best Film Award. Even if we have guaranteed fairness to the audience, that can only be done after the work is shortlisted and nominated.
There is no way Shuyou Pictures will suffer this time.”
But Yoshihiko Ishizaki shook his head: "That's not the case."
"Chairman Kazuyuki Homma, I found another movie, "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" submitted by the Expression Society." Yoshihiko Ishizaki held up the score sheet, "And this movie not only won
Nominations for the Best Film Award, as well as Best Screenplay Award, Best Director Award, Best Score Award, and Best Newcomer Award.”
"Huh? Has this little-known niche film been nominated for five awards? Is there such a thing?"
This number of votes is secretly voted by each judge, which basically represents the unanimous attitude of all judges. In addition to the efforts behind the scenes by two directors such as Kobayashi Masaki, the quality of the film itself is definitely excellent.
"I remember, this movie is actually also under the name of Shuyu Pictures, right?" Kazuyuki Honma recalled.
"Yes, but it is distributed by art cinemas and the theater chain of Iwanami Cinema. But it has been rolled out in theaters across the country, and the box office in the first week seems to be very good."
"The screenwriter and director are Naoki Nagayama."
"Naoki Nagayama? He is also the screenwriter of "The Tale of Hachiko"~"
Established production companies in the film industry were guarding against Shuyou Pictures' hit "Hachiko Monogatari," but they never expected that such an "art film" would suddenly emerge.
The chairman of the jury, Kazuyuki Honma, who was originally a little dissatisfied with the big production companies' manipulation of the selection, thought of the fierce competition after the nominations were announced, and couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Hahaha, it looks like the competition for some awards this time will be very interesting."
Yoshihiko Ishizaki looked at the list of nominations: "But the Best Screenplay Award will most likely go to Naoki Nagayama~"
"Yes, both films were nominated. The third one with the most votes was "Convenience Store Robbery", and it was him too."
"What a monster!" Ishizaki Yoshihiko finally praised.
Going back in time, the rare bright sunshine in winter shines on the bedroom of a 1dk apartment in Nakano.
The girl in blue velvet pajamas is hurriedly making the bed
Nakamori Akina was woken up by Okawa Yasuji's call this morning. Last night she was "tortured" by Naoki Nagayama's words and couldn't sleep. She didn't really fall asleep until around one or two o'clock, and it actually happened in her dream. A hateful figure.
Even after she got up, Nakamori Akina still blushed a little when she thought of the contents of her dream.
He hammered the pillow several times to vent his anger:
"Damn it!"
But there was no time for the girl to continue complaining. Yasushi Okawa was waiting downstairs. Akina hurriedly washed herself, changed her clothes and went downstairs. It didn’t matter whether she put on makeup or not. She still had to put on makeup again when she arrived at the shooting scene. .
"Private Marseille, Kang Zhisang, I've kept you waiting for so long~" Akina opened the car door and quickly got into the Subaru parked downstairs, "Let's go~"
"Ah, silly tape." Yasushi Okawa started the car and glanced at Akina Nakamori through the rearview mirror, "Akina-chan didn't sleep last night, okay?"
"Either I didn't sleep well. I just had a lot of dreams."
Although she had only slept for about 4 hours, Akina was very energetic and had no dark circles under her eyes. She was still a young person.
After Yasushi Okawa confirmed the status of his idol, he didn't ask any more questions, and then began to introduce today's schedule.
Nakaso Akina listened for a while, and when the itinerary was confirmed, the phone call last night flashed in her mind, Naoki Nagayama asked for a concert ticket again,
I was clearly thinking in my heart: "I won't give it to you."
But he asked honestly: "Kangji-san, have the tickets for the Osaka concert been prepared?"
"Eh? A concert in Osaka?"
"Hi."
"It should be ready already. It's in the office of Akina's Publicity Department, right? After all, it will be held in the middle of the month."
"Then, can you please leave one for me, Yasuji-san?" Akina leaned forward slightly and got closer to Okawa Yasuji who was driving.
Yasushi Okawa is an experienced driver. He is multitasking. His eyes are paying attention to the road conditions, but his mouth is talking to Akina: "Ah, no problem. Is Akina-san going to give it to a friend in Osaka?"
Generally speaking, the firm will retain enough votes from related people, and the location must be very good.
"Well, I have a friend who cares about me."
Akina secretly said in her mind, "But it's not in Osaka."
"I understand~" Manager Sang agreed directly without asking any questions. It was just a ticket.
After receiving the reply, Akina Nakamori relaxed. She looked at the sunshine outside the car window, put on a pair of silver headphones, and pressed the play button on Walkman. A pleasant melody sounded, and it was actually "silent love".
"Speaking of which, I haven't watched "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" yet~"
