The weather in July was very hot, but when Naoki Nagayama arrived at Suzuran High School in Nagano, he felt a sense of coolness.
Located at the foot of a mountain and surrounded by green trees, the temperature here is two to three degrees lower than in urban Tokyo.
There are several cars parked in front of Suzuran High School, as well as minivans. The mottled graffiti on the surrounding walls and the scattered tables and chairs next to the teaching building make it feel like a bad group is gathering!
Naoki Nagayama has already seen a group of teenagers waiting under the teaching building, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyouaki Honda, Toshihiko Tahara
There are also junior team members Nishikori Ichikiyo, Uekusa Katsuhide, Higashiyama Noriyuki, etc.
There was a person maintaining order and telling the actors about today's arrangements.
"Masaka-kun!"
Komori Masataka turned around and saw Nagayama Naoki walking in from the door, and quickly greeted:
"Naoki-san, you're here."
"Yes, it takes more than an hour to get here from Tokyo." Naoki Nagayama walked in and looked around at the preparatory actors in different clothes. "Sanada-kun, Honda-kun and Tahara-san are all here."
Thank you for your hard work, Nathan!"
"Director Yongshan!" Several people bowed slightly to show respect.
Naoki Nagayama bowed back, then nodded to the three members of the youth team, without saying anything in particular. As a director, he naturally had to treat everyone equally at this time.
"Is Shuichi-san here? When will we start choosing the protagonist?"
"Shuichi-san should be in the teaching building!" Masataka Komori said, "The principal's office is right there!"
"Haha, you actually think of yourself as the principal of Suzuran High School? That's really bold." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Then I'll go find him."
I looked back and saw that my brother hadn’t arrived yet.
In the principal's office, the newly cleaned office is still clean. Shuichi Yondi is sitting on the boss's chair behind the huge desk, looking at the script and storyboards, marking with a pen in his hand, and arranging the shooting sequence.
.
"Principal Yintang!" Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door and walked in. "Are you correcting the students' test papers?"
"Hahaha, what are Naoki-san talking about!" Shuichi Yindo couldn't help but laugh, and almost spit out the water he just drank in his mouth.
"Seeing Shuichi-san sitting in a suit and leather tie in the principal's office, it feels like that." Naoki Nagayama looked at the office and patted the boss's chair, "How is the office so well preserved?"
"What, I bought it specially from the second-hand market!" Shuichi Yintang said, "There are also some other unused classrooms that have been cleaned up and can be used as a resting place during filming."
"Also, we have also cleaned the canteen! We have also hired a chef!" Shuichi Yindo said proudly, "This will make it more convenient for everyone to eat! For such a large crew, eating and drinking is a big problem!"
It can be seen that Shuichi Indo put a lot of thought into this movie, even more than the award-winning "Hachiko Monogatari."
"Haha, as expected of Shuichi-san, it's really reassuring!" Naoki Nagayama praised this meticulous director, "But now we should choose the protagonist and supporting actors!"
"Well, it's about time! Once the characters are finalized, let's hold the opening ceremony! I can't wait!"
There was uncontrollable excitement in Yin Tang Xiuyi's tone.
When the two came down, they found that two pairs of people seemed to be confronting each other under the teaching building.
On one side are the selected actors, and on the other side are Yongshan Kaede and a group of younger brothers.
I heard Kaede Nagayama standing arrogantly in front of everyone and saying: "I am Tamao Serizawa! Who among you guys wants to play Genji Takiya! Come to the front!"
The artists on the other side don't know who the characters are yet, and no one is taking the lead. At this time, they are like students who are really being bullied by bad guys.
""Naoki Nagayama scratched his face in embarrassment and said to Shuichi Yin Tang, "It seems that Brother Kaede has already entered the drama."
"Haha, it seems so." Yin Tangxiu smiled.
Seeing what his cousin wanted to say, Naoki Nagayama quickly walked between the two groups of people and clapped his hands to attract the attention of both parties:
"Haha, it seems that everyone knows the protagonist of the movie, Serizawa Tamao!" Nagayama Naoki walked up to his cousin, patted his shoulder, and said to the group of artists, "Next, the other protagonist is going to meet him.
We are acting opposite each other! Are you scared?"
"Hahaha" "Really?" "So impressive"
There were whispers from the actors opposite, but the tense atmosphere was dissipated.
"Uh" Yong Shanfeng was speechless in embarrassment, so he could only shut up and pretend to be cool.
At this time, another van came outside the school and parked directly at the entrance of the teaching building.
Yoshimura Otomo got out of the van.
He looked at the nearly 20 young people around him and said to Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yindo: "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, it looks like everyone is here. Just in time, the uniforms have arrived too!"
"That's just right!" Yoon Tang Shuichi said to these artists, "Mina-san, come to the van and choose your uniforms. Remember to choose the one that's a little bigger! After you put them on later, we'll start assigning roles.
!”
"Hi!" 20
These young people picked out their sizes in the van and then went to an empty classroom nearby to change clothes.
While waiting for the artists to change their costumes, Indou Shuichi asked: "Does Naoki-san have any ideas about the allocation of roles?"
"The main thing is to look at the momentum and handsomeness!" Nagayama Naoki smiled, took out a tape from his pocket and said to Komori Masataka, "Masataka-kun, the school's radio should have been repaired, right?"
"Then when it starts, play the music on this tape!"
Yintang Shuichi was curious: "What is this?"
"bg:《leeld!"
Nagayama Naoki is very familiar with this Tai Lao exclusive soundtrack. After listening to it when he was young and frivolous in his previous life, he even became arrogant when walking that day, and almost got beaten by pedestrians on the road!
So although I didn't recall it from my mind this time, based on the vague memory and my current ability to compose music, I still composed it and asked the band to make a trial tape.
"Huh?" Yin Tang Shuichi was a little confused, "Movie soundtrack? What are you playing at this time?"
"Shuichi-san will find out later!"
When all the actors changed into uniforms and came out, they all turned into cool delinquent high school students!
Nagayama Naoki looked at them one by one. Very good. Due to the aesthetics of this era, everyone's hair was not too short.
"Mina-san" Nagayama Naoki clapped his hands, "Actually, the method of choosing the protagonist this time is very simple."
A group of high school students with bad uniforms all looked at Nagayama Naoki, and they were really bluffing.
"Just wait for a while and when the music starts playing, walk from the other end of the playground to this side! Don't fight for a group of people, everyone will have the opportunity to stand in the middle." Naoki Nagayama continued, "But there is one requirement. I need to get it.
Show your most awesome momentum!"
This kind of selection method is simply unheard of!
Each artist had questions in their mind, but there was obviously not much time for them to ask questions at the moment, so they all walked to the opposite side of the playground under the command of Masataka Komori.
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said: "Let's get started! "Leeld"
As the rhythm of the electronic guitar sounded, the beat of metallic electronic music began to reverberate in Suzuran High School. Everyone present felt a sense of excitement. Without Naoki Nagayama continuing to direct, a group of actors on the opposite side began to express their enthusiasm.
Bian took a step forward.
Some put their pockets in, some flailed their arms, some looked ferocious, some raised their heads with disdain, and some swayed their shoulders greatly in keeping with the rhythm, all in a look that made them want to be dragged up to the sky.
Looking at the dark group of delinquents walking slowly from a distance, a self-centered aura spread out.
Next to them, Shuichi Yindo, Otomo Yoshimura, and Kaede Nagayama, who did not need to participate in the distribution, all felt the impact!
"This feeling! This feeling!
"
Yongshan Feng murmured in his mouth, this scene made people's blood boil even more than when Yongshan group brought his younger brother to kill people.
Yoshimura Otomo also said: "This is youth! Passionate!"
Nagayama Naoki also watched this scene very excitedly: "If it rains again, the effect will be even more explosive!"
Yin Tangxiu glanced at Nagayama Naoki and said, "Has Naoki-san already thought about the feeling of matching the BG with the picture?"
"Well! In my bg, no one can beat me!
Shuichi-san, we need to take pictures like this!
"
The first impression is the most important. As the group of bad guys got closer, Naoki Nagayama picked out the most outstanding ones.
For example, Hiroyuki Sanada and Toshihiko Tahara, one has superb acting skills and is unforgettable; the other is originally surrounded by Johnny's juniors, and when they get together, they naturally become the leader.
As for Honda Kyouaki and the youth team, they are just a little bit behind. The other juniors are really like miscellaneous soldiers A and B.
"Pop!"
After a small discussion with Yin Tangxiu, Nagayama Naoki clapped his hands again,
"Mina-san, okay! Shuichi-san and I have made a decision!"
"Hiroyuki Sanada will play Genji Takiya!"
In comparison, Tahara Toshihiko's acting skills are slightly worse.
"Toshihiko Tahara will play Tokio Tatsukawa, Noriyuki Higashiyama will play Chuta Tamura, Kyouaki Honda will play Hiroyuki Kirishima, Katsuhide Uekusa will play Yuji Tokaji, and Kazuki Nishikori will play Shoji Tsutsumoto."
The various roles were assigned in this way.
Although the role allocation may seem like a bit of a joke, Shuichi Indo has actually analyzed it based on his previous resume. Except for the most important protagonist, the others are roughly based on the previous divisions.
After the announcement, Shuichi Yondou stood in front of the actors and delivered a speech as usual. After unifying their thoughts, the official opening ceremony began.
Komori Masataka and a group of staff quickly set up the altar, and then the goddess dressed in her colorful and exclusive costume began to dance in front of the altar.
"Otomo-san, are you sure there's nothing wrong with that old lady?" Looking at the crazy goddess, Naoki Nagayama was a little worried and quietly asked Otomo Yoshimura.
"Silly tape, the goddess is in very good health!" Otomo Fangcun replied in a low voice, "After the news spread about holding the opening ceremony for us, she was invited by many crews and made a lot of money in the past two years!"
"Haha, that's really lucky!"
The blessing ceremony ended with the breathless chanting of the goddess. Nagayama Naoki and Yoto Shuichi stood in front and placed three pillars of coarse incense on the altar. The power-on ceremony was officially completed.
Indou Shuichi said: "Mina-san, first put on makeup in the classroom! Then we will start filming the first scene!"
The protagonist's outfit should always be different from everyone else's!
The opening ceremony in the first act is a multi-person scene. The most important thing is actually that a guy named You Yugan came on stage to provoke and declared to the freshmen that he would dominate Suzuran.
Then, of course, he was beaten
Maybe it was the first time to shoot. These guys, who were originally male idols, really couldn't let go. No matter they were swearing or provoking, they still couldn't finish the first scene even though they tried many times.
However, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yindo are not in a hurry, because as long as they train them well during this period, the subsequent shooting will be much easier. Besides, there is Kaede Nagayama, a professional Yakuza, who is holding hands on the side.
Are you teaching these newcomers?
"Okay," Yongshan Feng said to the other artists, "The tongue flick here must be obvious and fast! This will give people a sense of pressure!"
"Come on, try it!"
When Honda Kyouaki was called out, he could only curse in front of everyone: "Konoko!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It caused everyone to laugh.
Nagayama Naoki and Yoto Shuichi watched from behind with smiles on their faces.
I just don’t know if these guys will continue to work in the entertainment industry with these strange habits after filming "Hot Blood High School"
When the filming ended in the evening, Naoki Nagayama naturally chose to go back to Tokyo. Sleeping in the dormitory here was not as comfortable as in his own bedroom.
What's more, the main director of the movie is Shuichi Tondo and the executive director is Masataka Komori. They can handle most of the usual shooting. It doesn't matter if you come in later tomorrow.
By the time we returned to Sansakura-in, it was already almost 9 o'clock.
When Nagayama Naoki saw Yutaro coming out to greet him happily, he also played with him enthusiastically for a while.
"Yingtaro, my good boy, I will take you to the set to play with me tomorrow!"
As for Nyaotaro, Naoki Nagayama saw the aloof orange looking up at him in the cat's nest.
"Nyaotarou, it's better to forget it. If you run away, you won't be able to find him again."
They had already had dinner on the way. Naoki Nagayama took a shower and then sat on the sofa feeling refreshed, ready to watch the latest variety show.
"Ding, ding, ding," the phone rang.
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in"
"Naoki-san? This is Akina Nakamori!" A familiar voice came from the microphone, "Did Naoki-san just come back too?"
"How does Akina-chan know?" Nagayama Naoki raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said something speculative, "Did Akina-chan install a monitor in Yamazakura-in?"
"Hahaha, yes, I pretended to be 17 or 18!" Akina Nakamori's voice was full of laughter.
"Then Akina can spy on me every day and I'm going to suffer a big loss." The conversation started to go to strange places, "No, I also want to put a few of them in Akina's apartment!"
"Naoki-san, this is a crime! A crime!"
"Who asked Akina to install it first?"
The childish chat had no important meaning, but both of them enjoyed it. It was an obviously hypothetical thing, as if they had to compete with each other.
After talking for a while, I finally let go of the topic.
"How is the filming of Naoki-san's movie going?"
Naoki Nagayama was half lying on the sofa and said: "The filming officially started today. By the way, the protagonist of the movie is Tahara Toshihiko. Do you know Akina?"
"Jun-chan?" Akina must be very familiar with her. In addition to appearing in many variety shows together, everyone has also gone out for dinner together. "He actually went to film "Hot-Blooded High School. He has such a sunny and fun-loving personality."
"Ah? Akina-chan, do you think "High School" is some kind of gloomy movie?" Naoki Nagayama was curious. He seemed to have told Akina Nakamori about the plot of the movie.
"Eh? Isn't it? A movie about bad culture."
This is Akina Nakamori’s impression of delinquent movies on the market, because in the current Japanese film market, depictions of delinquent students either explore dark psychology or cruel reality, violence, gore, and pornography
""Forget it, let's take the photo and take Akina to see it.
Nagayama Naoki could only walk by the lake, and then asked about Nakamori Akina's schedule, only to learn that she would be going abroad in a while.
"Probably at the end of the month," Akina said, "Before the new nationwide concert, I will go to Europe to shoot promotional materials for the new album and it seems that it will be made into a record."
“I’m so envious of going to Europe.”
Nagayama Naoki was a little envious. After going to the United States, he wanted to travel to Europe, but he couldn't go because of his brother's wedding.
"Don't Naoki-san often travel abroad?" Akina was puzzled.
“I haven’t been to Paris yet in Europe, and I really want to see Rome.”
"Then this time I have Naoki-san's expectations, and I must have a good time!" Akina on the other end of the phone changed her posture, lying on the bed and crossing her legs happily, "Hahaha, I will give it to Naoki-san.
It’s a souvenir!”
“Taomingcaijiang is like this”
Nagayama Naoki is a bit funny, what the hell is it with my expectations?
"Ha ha ha ha"
"By the way Akina, are you sure you'll be free next Wednesday?" Naoki Nagayama thought of Akina's birthday again.
"Hi! I've confirmed it again and again. The daytime variety show is expected to end before 5 o'clock! It will be free after that!" Akina's tone became excited, "The celebration prepared by Naoki-san cannot be missed!"
"I'm ready too." Nagayama Naoki raised his eyebrows, thinking of the event support company's promise, "It will definitely be a surprise when the time comes!"
"Hey, I'm looking forward to Naoki-san's gift!"
After we talked about the main things, the rest was just small talk. We met a strange person in some program, and Yotaro was bullied by Meowtaro again.
The two chatted on the phone until late at night, and finally hung up when they were both sleepy.
