Nagayama Naoki woke up early, and there was no need for Taro Yu to rush him this time, because he already had arrangements for today.
After talking to Akina on the phone last night, I actually received a call from Honma Design Office, and we agreed to go see the design this morning.
Three phone calls in one night made Nagayama Naoki feel very busy.
The pot of stew at night actually made him feel overstuffed after a long absence, and he still had no appetite until this morning.
After making breakfast for his furry child, he simply drank a glass of milk.
After a little digestion, Nagayama Naoki was ready to go out.
"Yutarou, Nyaotaro, stay at home and take care of the house~I'll take you out for a walk in the evening~"
After touching the heads of the two big dogs, Naoki Nagayama got into his car and started heading towards Honma Design Office.
The cicadas on the street trees have been chirping at the top of their lungs since morning, making the whole of Tokyo sleepless.
At busy intersections, pedestrians lined up were rubbing shoulders. Many people were so hot that they were sweating on their foreheads, and they could only hold back and wait for the traffic lights to turn green.
The cars in the queue were also lined up end to end, and the air-conditioning was blowing but it couldn't calm the anxiety of the office workers. The constant sound of horns kept coming and going as if they were competing with cicadas.
Although I heard yesterday that the weather will be very good these days, Naoki Nagayama still sighed when looking at the clear sky:
"This summer...it's so hot~"
.......
By the time we finally arrived at Honma Design Office, it was already almost 9 o'clock.
"Naoki-san, you're here!" Naoya Sakata saw Naoki Nagayama coming in and quickly stood up to greet him, "Is the journey going well?"
"The morning rush hour...it's getting more and more congested." Nagayama Naoki complained a little.
Naoya Sakata poured a glass of lemonade: "Yes, fortunately we are living in the office during this time~"
"Oh? Live in the office?"
“Because of the design, we don’t want to waste time on the road!”
Nagayama Naoki was surprised: "Why is that? I don't seem to have set a time limit, right?"
At this time, Takashi Honma walked down from the second floor of the office: "This is my character as an architectural designer! I hope that the buildings I designed can be built as soon as possible and appear in this world earlier!"
"What's more, Naoki-san's commission this time is not only a huge challenge, but also the motivation for our efforts!"
Nagayama Naoki looked at the haggard architect and was a little moved: "Homma-san, you really worked hard this time!"
"Haha, this is the career I chose!"
While speaking, Takashi Honma opened the curtain on the table in the center of the office hall and said as if to show off:
"Naoki-san, look, this is what we designed!"
Nagayama Naoki saw this miniature sand table, with an exquisite courtyard on it. Even the water flow in the courtyard was very real, almost like a work of art.
Takashi Honma introduced enthusiastically:
“In terms of architecture, we referred to the styles of Japanese ancient buildings, especially the style of Byodo-in Phoenix Temple, and redesigned them to form a U-shaped pattern; at the junctions of each hall, we referred to the steps of Suzhou gardens.
, many murals and landscapes were designed in the empty space of the door...
As for us, we diverted the stream from the hillside and passed it through the entire courtyard to form a wide pool around the house. We designed pavilions on the side facing the water where you can watch the water. In addition, following the twists and turns of the water, the water is scattered throughout the courtyard.
Maple trees, flowers, pines and bamboos, etc. were planted thoughtfully..."
"The small hill in the courtyard is planned to retain the original family temple, but it will be reinforced and renovated..."
Nagayama Naoki listened with great interest. Looking at the whole bright red building, he just felt like a temple.
However, I only stayed there for a few days in the summer to escape the heat, so it would be a bit more fresh.
After talking for almost half an hour, Takashi Honma finally took a break and took a sip of lemonade:
"Naoki-san, what do you think?"
"I think it's great! Honma-san and Sakata-san have worked hard!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and nodded, "But..."
Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata immediately realized that they were both adults and anything they said before "but" was just polite.
Nagayama Naoki continued: "However, as for this short mountain, I don't want it to remain the same."
Sakata Naoya breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "So Naoki-san, do you want..."
"Honma-san, Sakata-san, do you know Nezu Shrine?"
"Of course~" Sakata Naoya said, "Naoki-san wants to plant azaleas?"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "No, what I want is the smallest Shinto there..."
"Eh?"
"For a family temple, such a small shrine should be enough~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "In addition, I don't like the native clutter of the plants on the low mountain, and I hope to replace them with bamboo...
"
"In that case..." Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata looked at each other, "No problem!
"
After chatting with the two about the construction period and the subsequent construction situation, Nagayama Naoki left Honma Design Office.
Because we didn’t worry too much about the design of this garden in Kyoto, the construction schedule has been advanced a lot. It seems that the construction will start this year, and it will be almost ready to live in around June next year.
........
On the way to the studio, Naoki Nagayama was happily thinking that he would be able to enjoy the maple leaves in his Kyoto garden next year!
When we arrived at the photo studio, it was not yet noon.
"Naoki-san, why are you here at this time?"
In the office, Yoshimura Otomo was explaining something to Hayano Riko and Inada Masamin. After seeing Nagayama Naoki, he couldn't help but ask.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah, I have done one thing this morning, so I just stopped by to take a look." Naoki Nagayama looked at their looks and immediately waved his hands, "I have nothing important.
Regarding the matter, you continue, continue~"
"In that case..." Yoshimura Otomo didn't show any concern at all, "I'd like to ask Yamin-kun and the three Maoyan sisters for the announcement. As for Yin Teng Junko's new song, I will personally keep an eye on it. Still.
Ariko-chan, Yuki Saito's activities in Kobe, I need you to contact me again to confirm the specific time and process."
"Hi!" After the two responded, they also bowed to Naoki Nagayama before exiting.
"Otomo-san, Junko-chan, Yuki-chan and Maoyan, the recent activities have been going well, right?" Naoki Nagayama felt like he hadn't heard from them for a long time.
"There is no problem, everything is proceeding step by step." Yoshimura Otomo nodded first, and then said to Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, judging from the current record sales, Yuki-chan's stamina is somewhat lacking. I
I think she might be more suitable for film and television..."
"Oh? Otomo-san, do you think so?" Naoki Nagayama also recalled it. It seems that Saito Yuki's talents as an idol are indeed biased towards film and television. "But speaking of it, Yuki-chan's starting point in film and television is very high.
, maybe it really can.”
"Well, since Naoki-san agrees, then we will adjust Taka-chan's focus."
Nagayama Naoki suddenly thought: "By the way, Otomo-san, I remember that if we wanted to participate in investing in other movies before, Shimizu Renami would be in charge, right?"
"Hi, but because we don't have much demand for other movies, and the box office of the last joint venture movie was not very good...so Qingmizu-san has now turned to the Yakuza career!" Yoshimura Otomo was also a little unexpected, "
It seems that we have already started to connect business for the Matsuba Association."
"Huh? Is Qingshui Sang still one of ours?"
"As for the current labor relationship, it's still at Shuyu Pictures!" Yoshimura Otomo said. After all, he was transferred from Kadokawa, so he couldn't be fired voluntarily no matter what.
"Well~ the next time you meet Haruki-san, let's talk to him. Since you already want to join the Yakuza career, let's find another person~"
Nagayama Naoki will have another movie to be released soon. At this time, it is even more important to establish a good relationship with Kadokawa Films. A person who is supposed to be a smooth oil cannot be effective, so naturally he needs to be replaced.
Yoshimura Otomo also agrees with this approach, but as a believer in the lifelong employment system, he is unwilling to say more:
"Naoki-san, you haven't said anything yet, why are you here today?"
"That's what I said before, come and take a look~" Naoki Nagayama said, "come and have a lunch from the company."
"..." Yoshimura Otomo couldn't understand Naoki Nagayama's weird habit, "You can obviously go to a high-end restaurant for a big meal..."
"This is sentiment!"
Nagayama Naoki would not say that it was because he had eaten too much last night and had no appetite until now, so he just wanted to fill his stomach casually.
.......
In the office, Naoki Nagayama was chatting with Otomo Yoshimura while eating a bento.
"Naoki-san, what are we planning to film next?"
"Of course it's "The Ring"! We've been talking about it for several years!" Naoki Nagayama finally decided to introduce Miss Sadako to the Tokyo audience.
"Haha, it seems like it's true this time."
"Speaking of which, last time I saw an old house in Kyoto, it had that kind of atmosphere. Maybe it could be used as a scene for this shooting!"
Recalling the first courtyard I visited in Kyoto, "It was very eerie!"
"Have you even found the scene?" Yoshimura Otomo smiled, "So who do you plan to cast as the leading actor? Do you have a target?"
Nagayama Naoki's first idea was last night that Akina Nakamori would play the role, but then he thought again, how could Akina scare people with her baby fat now? She is almost cute enough.
"Not yet...but if it's a horror film, there may be no popular idols willing to star in it~" Naoki Nagayama said, "There will probably be another audition~"
"Well..." Fangcun Otomo paused. If the industry held consecutive selection meetings within a year, it would be a bit eye-catching.
"However, if there are suitable actors, Otomo-san can introduce them in advance! Major offices can also recommend them."
Naoki Nagayama now has the confidence to ask other agencies to recommend people, because every movie produced by Shuyu can achieve very good results!
Speaking of this, he thought of other things,
"By the way, Otomo-san, is that Etsurou Kikuchi from before still bothering you now?"
"She must be struggling... about cooperating on a show or something..." Yoshimura Otomo had eaten with that guy a lot during this time, and he understood his thoughts more or less, "For the new guy,
I actually don’t have much confidence in the program, and I’m not sure how many idols I can find in the new program.”
"It's okay, I'm quite confident about the new program." Nagayama Naoki smiled, "By the way, Otomo-san will help me make an appointment with Akimoto Yasushi. I have already communicated with him about the new program idea, and now we are planning
It should be out by now."
"If possible later, let's meet with Etsurou Kikuchi and resolve this matter. It's troublesome to keep procrastinating."
Yoshimura Otomo nodded. To be honest, it was not interesting to fight with that old fox all day long.
...........
At Suzuran High School in Nagano, Shuichi Indou relied on his strong memory ability to find some less-than-stellar scenes from previously shot scenes, and is currently reshooting them with the crew.
The crew members who were having lunch were chatting and laughing in twos and threes in the canteen on the set.
At this time, Yong Shanfeng stood up after finishing his meal. Unexpectedly, a group of entertainers stood up among the people eating, and followed Yong Shanfeng out in a mighty manner. He was even more majestic than a gangster.
Indo Shuichi saw this scene, and he and Komori Masataka smiled bitterly: "Masataka-kun, maybe we have really built these guys into a Yakuza club..."
Komori Masataka also sighed: "Yes, what Brother Kaede has said these days is much more useful than the director..."
However, there is nothing we can do about this situation. Teenagers are very blindly obedient.
"However, if we shoot for another day, the reshoots will almost be enough." Shuichi Yintang said, "Everyone can return to the original state by then."
Komori Masataka asked curiously at this time: "Shuichi-san, speaking of which, now that it's all filmed...when you edit the trailer, will you include that scene in the edit?"
"Which scene?"
"It's the scene of the gathering in the alley and the scene of the final battle!"
Yin Tangxiu frowned when he heard this: "This..."
Naturally, it is hoped that such a shot with full effects will appear in the feature film for the first time, but the trailer is also very important for sales...
"As for this, let's discuss it with Naoki-san during editing~"
Komori Masataka put down his spoon: "But Shuichi-san, will Naoki-san participate in the editing?"
"How could he not participate..."
In the middle of Yun Tang Shuichi's words, he suddenly realized the character of his president. At that time, he spread his hands and said that he would leave everything to Shuichi-san. What should he do?
So he frowned even more, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered to Komori Masataka: "Masataka-kun, we have to find a way so that Naoki-san has to participate in the editing!"
"Eh?"
"we should......."
The two people began to discuss in a low voice the trap to deal with Naoki Nagayama, which made Naoki Nagayama shudder in Tokyo.
"Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?"
"Maybe I'm feeling a little unwell~" Nagayama Naoki could only explain in this way,
