That night, Naoki Nagayama tried to call Akina Nakamori twice.
Once at 9 o'clock, once at 11 o'clock,
"As expected, Akina-chan isn't here~"
Listening to the message reminder on the phone, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to leave a message.
"Akina-chan, I'm back from the United States~ Because of some things at home..."
“Didn’t I make an appointment to go to Disneyland when I called you before?
I wonder if Akina-chan is free recently?"
"If we are free, let's go together~"
.......
What should I do? It sounds like licking a dog!
Naoki Nagayama feels that if there was WeChat, all kinds of Taro emoticons would be flying around at this time.
Then I silently waited for the reply from the goddess Akina Nakamori.
Although Akina probably won't reply...
"Haha~" "I went to take a shower" "Sleep~"
Right?
...
The weather changes at the transition from spring to summer.
The day before was obviously sunny and windy, but it started raining heavily in the early morning of that day, and it didn't stop until the next morning.
Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes. The thick water vapor in the air made his skin feel a little uncomfortable. He actually went to take a shower so early in the morning!
Is this going to use magic to defeat magic...
I simply made some breakfast and was thinking about it while I was eating it.
"The trip was interrupted... I didn't have time to invite Akina to go to Disney together... It started to rain outside..."
"I always feel that everything is not going well. Should I worship the Bodhisattva and change my luck?"
However, it was raining outside, so after breakfast, Nagayama Naoki chose to stay at Yamazakura-in until the rain stopped, and then went out to drink tea~
The unsatisfactory feeling that something has not been completed made Nagayama Naoki, who was originally very idle, unable to enjoy his decadent daily life in peace.
Even though I had been practicing the piano in the study all morning, I didn't feel calm... The familiar Yamazakura-in was actually so quiet at this time that I felt inexplicably irritable.
Does Yamasakura-in feel so deserted without Yutaro?
Nagayama Naoki actually knows that at this stage, his emotions are likely to be accumulated again, and it is likely to trigger some memories. However, after wandering around the Yamazakura courtyard for a whole morning, he still cannot trigger his "golden finger".
So I can only give up for the time being.
"Well, let nature take its course~"
But it was impossible to stay at home any longer. Naoki Nagayama went to the garage, got into his car, turned on the radio, and went out with a gloomy mood.
"Where are you going....."
Watching the raindrops forming twisted water lines on the window, the scene outside the window became blurry, like a child's oil painting.
Under the gloomy clouds are steel and concrete, rendering large areas of cold gray; messy paintbrushes such as signboards and road signs are dotted with horizontal and vertical straight roads, dividing the picture into regular shapes; some lights are on,
Click on the red, yellow or blue color blocks, but there is no colorful psychedelic look like in the past...
However, the lush green plants in spring and summer add a rich green color to this oil painting in the rain, making Tokyo in the rain not look so unhuman.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Nagayama Naoki was driving casually in the driver's seat without any destination. At this moment, a fresh male voice suddenly came from the radio, singing a bright song:
.......
May rain は green (May green rain)
Sad afternoon alone (A sad afternoon alone)
爱をして林しくて(Missing, lonely)
I miss you so much (the thing that warms me is the longing that I can’t convey)
好きだよと野元ずに初爱は (a first love that can’t be expressed even with the word “like”)
.......
"Eh?" Do Japanese cars also "read the air"?
"First Love" by Takazo Murakita, the master of love songs! One of the most famous love songs!
But this era has just been released...
Nagayama Naoki was a little scared. He still remembered that the radio in his car would indeed play some sad songs when he was in a bad mood, and it seemed that when he was happy, he would also play light songs.
Is the radio in this car also perfect?!
.......
Interrupted by his own car, Nagayama Naoki raised his head from the depressed mood. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the coffee shop where Shuichi Yondido was shooting. After all, he had already been there yesterday for photography. Shed.
It rained today, so of course the photos were all interior scenes.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived, the four leading actors were having a great time in the coffee shop. Shuichi Yondi was directing something inside. Some of the other photographers were holding cameras and some were lighting. In short, the few people inside were We formed a circle.m..??m
Nagayama Naoki patted the outermost layer of Kijima Kyon's shoulder: "Kishima-kun, what are you doing inside?"
"Ah!!" Kijima Xu screamed.
Kyū Kijima seems to have no experience of being scared by others. He has a very low sense of presence. Generally speaking, it is his sudden voice that scares others.
"Naoki-san?"
When he turned around and found that the person tapping his shoulder was Naoki Nagayama, his shout had attracted everyone's attention, making Naoki Nagayama a little embarrassed.
】
"Haha, Mina-san, long time no see."
Yin Tangxiu was very surprised when he saw Nagayama Naoki. He had not spoken to Yoshimura Otomo yesterday: "Naoki-san, you are back so soon?!"
"Hi... I came back yesterday because something happened."
"Then...why are you still here?" Yin Tangxiuyi was puzzled. If he came back in such a hurry, shouldn't he be in a hurry?
"Well... I realized after I arrived that there was actually nothing I needed to do right away." I couldn't talk about being tricked by my sister. Naoki Nagayama immediately changed the subject, "It's not a big deal. What are Shuichi-san filming today?" ?”
Shuichi Indou knew what was interesting and did not continue. Instead, he explained to Naoki Nagayama: "We are filming a scene where Toshio Utsumi plays a game with the three sisters from the next life. The three sisters use the game to obtain information about Toshio Utsumi."
???
Nagayama Naoki was full of doubts, what else could happen?
To get information from Toshio Utsumi, wouldn't it usually be enough to directly ask the real black-haired straight girlfriend when she comes to give birth to a baby, or to seduce the charming lady with tears in her next life, or if that doesn't work, just act like a coquettish girl in her next life?
When do you need to play table games to get such high-end money?
However, after seeing the game on the table, Nagayama Naoki was speechless. Ludo... was still a specially customized version. If you encounter obstacles, you need to answer the questions or follow the instructions according to the requirements on the card, otherwise you will be kicked out.
Post a little note!
Isn't this truth and dare? Actually setting up a party game to get information...
"Naoki-san, our flying chess is specially made! Even the cards are handwritten!" Shuichi Indou is proud. They pooled everyone's wisdom and finally created this game.
"Hehehe~ Shuichi-san really has a lot of ideas..."
Naoki Nagayama was perfunctory with the proud director, but his eyes drifted to the four people on the table. They seemed to be very involved in playing the game. The love of the next life played by Kiriyuki Katasai actually had a lot of small paper stuck on his face.
That’s it!
"How come Kirino-chan always loses?" Naoki Nagayama asked. Logically speaking, shouldn't Toshio Utsumi, played by Takemoto Takayuki, lose the most?
"Hahaha, Naoki-san, for the sake of realism, we did not arrange the game process! They are all real games!"
Yoon Tang Shuichi laughed and was very proud of his idea, "This way we can capture the actor's true emotions!"
"..." Nagayama Naoki glanced at Katasai Kiri's aggrieved expression, feeling that Yoto Shuichi just had nothing to do on a rainy day.
There are also cameras around. Is it free to keep filming?
"I've gained experience...Shuichi-san really has some skills~" However, Naoki Nagayama still didn't express any opinions. After all, it was the set of director Yintang.
"Haha, thank you~" Shuichi Indou asked the crew to continue filming, and he took Naoki Nagayama to the empty table next to him, and then asked, "Is Naoki-san here to visit the class today?"
"That's right. Staying at home when it rains is very depressing."
As soon as he sat down, the big tangerine in the coffee shop that had been ripened proudly walked to the table in front of him, then lay down half-lying down and meowed at the shit shovel: "Meow~ (massage!)"
Nagayama Naoki looked at the orange cat funny and scratched his head while asking: "Shuichi-san, are you so familiar with Nyaotarou and the crew? Are you not afraid of strangers at all?"
Yintang Shuichi was also surprised: "That's not true. Except for a few people, no one else is allowed to touch it."
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and touch the cat's back, but he got a hiss from Daju and the cat's paw raised... "Look, you won't let me get close to you!"
"Hahaha, it seems that I am popular with the little animals~"
Naoki Nagayama used the technique of playing with Nyan Taro on Mew Taro, and it actually made the big tangerine very effective and made a purring sound.
"Naoki-san is really enviable... He is handsome, talented, rich, and popular with little animals..." Shuichi Yin Tang angrily scolded the little things on the table, "Meow.
Taro, you heartless guy, I fed you the dried fish the day before yesterday!"
The orange cat dismissed the accusation and turned his head to the other side.
.......
When you feel depressed, stroking your child is indeed a great way to relieve yourself.
While Naoki Nagayama was serving Nyaotaro, he was chatting with Shuichi Indo. Since it was raining anyway, the few small indoor scenes were directly handed over to Komori Masataka. As a director, he didn't have much to pay attention to.
"Shuichi-san, when I was in Los Angeles, I was chatting with local friends. The movie we made was actually more famous than "The Ghost Story"." Naoki Nagayama talked about the chat with Robert, the diving instructor in Los Angeles. "A few other movies...
They don’t know about movies, including the very popular "The Story of Hachiko"."
"This is...a problem of tradition." Shuichi Yontou said, "After all, Japan's cultural output is still not as good as that of the United States."
"This is probably not the reason. Horror films like "The Ghost Story" are promoted through marketing, so the effect is so good." Naoki Nagayama said, "Our other films seem to be very lacking in marketing and promotion.
.”
Publicity channels in Japan are dominated by established advertising companies. Basically, all advertising business can be handed over to the corresponding company without any worries. Therefore, it is very convenient to promote several movies in Japan.
But overseas, there are no such convenient conditions.
"Naoki-san, there is really nothing we can do if we are abroad..." Shuichi Indou also wanted to say that laying channels abroad is only the ability of a large company like Toho, and a small company like Shuyu Pictures.
For the time being, let’s focus on the country.
"There are always ways to think of it, Shuichi-san, you don't want our movies to be limited to the country forever, right?" Naoki Nagayama has the perspective of future generations after all, and has a deep feeling for globalization, "Besides, "Ghost Shadow"
Didn’t "Records" already provide samples?"
"?"
"Let's start with horror movies!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Japanese horror movies have a very special style, which is completely different from American plasma horror movies. It is very attractive to people who love horror movies."
"Naoki-san means to make a horror movie?"
In fact, it is just an idea. Naoki Nagayama has no specific direction yet: "We can try it first. If the horror film succeeds, we can slowly open a distribution company abroad..."
Since we are talking about horror movies, we naturally think of a series of American horror movie titles such as "The Return of the Clown", "Annabelle", and "Haunted Street".
Feeling the dizzy feeling in his head, Nagayama Naoki suddenly broke out in a cold sweat... I remembered "Midnight Ring" before, but Miss Sadako played with him in her dream all night.
I'm running away.
If I think about it again this time, if the clown, Annabelle, and Freddy came to look for him in his dream... Naoki Nagayama's little heart couldn't bear it!
"Xiu Yisang!
!”
"? Nani?" Indou Shuichi was startled by Naoki Nagayama's sudden shout, and even Nyotaro was so frightened that he sat up.
"Say something nice!" Nagayama Naoki put a hand on his temple.
"???Nani?" Yin Tangxiu was caught off guard and a little ashamed, because some people on the crew looked over, so he lowered his voice, "Even if Naoki-san wants me to praise you, you don't have to do this.
Are you anxious? In public..."
"No..." Nagayama Naoki pressed his head with both hands, trying his best to stay awake and avoid falling into dizziness, "Shuichi-san, I'm bursting with inspiration now, hurry up and tell me some happy things in your memory.
, to inspire me!”
"Huh? Inspire?" Shuichi Yondou suddenly thought of the scene in the studio before, "Ah, I suddenly felt inspired... Why should I talk about memories... Naoki-san
Why don’t you yourself…”
"Hurry!" If I don't hurry up, Freddy will come and take over my brain!
"Ah...that's it, okay then..." As soon as Yin Tangxiu saw Nagayama Naoki being so determined, he quickly agreed, "But, he suddenly asked me to talk about happy memories and the like.
How can you think of something..."
"Hurry up!" Naoki Nagayama urged again!
Yin Tangxiu was so anxious that he scratched his head and looked around. Suddenly he saw the rain outside the window: "Ah! Yes, yes!"
"Ah Nuo, it's actually a rainy weather like this. I met someone in a coffee shop!..."
Indou Shuichi slowly talked about the time when he met his first love in junior high school, and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"At that time, Miyu-chan was so cute!
She also looks good when she smiles,
Motor cells are also very powerful!
......."
As he spoke, Yintang Shuichi's expression suddenly turned regretful, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"But...but at that time, I was so shameless!
Over a simple matter, I started to quarrel with Miyu-chan!
Then the cold war continued...
Until I graduated from junior high school, I even lost the second button on my school uniform..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the old man with long hair shawl and unshaven beard in front of him, but he could still see a hint of coolness, and then listened to him tell about his beautiful but sour first love...
The raindrops outside the window fell on the window, and the sound of the dripping was crisp and clear, but in Nagayama Naoki's ears, it suddenly became louder, and the rhythm suddenly turned into the sound of a piano, a piano rhythm like rain...
Under an umbrella (coinciding with a shower under an umbrella)
kissing桡れた頬に(kissing gently kissing)
そっと口づけた(The cheeks wet by the rain)
The season of あ is the end of the season and I am still full of yearning for that season.
........
aimer's ref:rain, the ending theme of the anime "Love Will End Like the Rain", slowly played out of memories and flowed into Naoki Nagayama's mind.
But this time, there are actually all the plots of the cartoon and live-action movie "Love Will End".
After coming back to his senses, feeling that his head was obviously heavier just now, Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but knock it.
"Naoki-san, have you got any inspiration?" Shuichi Indou took a deep breath and seemed to have regained his composure. "Suddenly, the happy memories turned into regrets..."
"Who has no regrets about their first love~"
Nagayama Naoki smiled, took out a palm-sized notebook from his arms, and then began to write down the songs in his mind to reduce the burden on his head.
""Love Stops Like Rain"..."
Yin Tangxiu stood up, walked behind Nagayama Naoki's chair, looked at it, and muttered slowly, seeming to think of that afternoon after the rain again...
When Nagayama Naoki had finished writing, Yin Tangxiu took the notebook and started reading it.
"Naoki-san, is this song based on my story?!
"
At this time, everyone in the crew had gathered around. Komori Masataka stretched his head to look at the contents of the notebook, and asked a little excitedly: "Did Naoki-san write another song?"
After just reading for a while, Yin Tang Shuichi immediately closed the notebook and said with a little embarrassment:
"This song is for me!"
"???"
Xiu Yisang, it’s a bit dangerous for you to say that!
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but explain: "Ahem, it's based on Shuichi-san's first love story."
Komori Masataka suddenly realized: "It turns out that the notebook contains Shuichi-san's first love~"
"But, let us have a look, it doesn't matter~ Shuichi-san~"Love Stops Like the Rain"..."
"Don't even think about it!" Yin Tang Xiuyi quickly stuffed the notebook into his arms and walked out quickly.
"My notebook..." Nagayama Naoki was speechless.
Huh? The song I wrote in the notebook last time seemed to have been taken away by someone! Could it be taken away this time too?
