482. The entanglement of youth starts from now on~
There are only a few middle schools in Otaru City, and even fewer high schools.
The school where Nagayama Naoki and the others rented space was a high school where most of the nearby students attended.
When I drove Akina Nakamori and two agents to the school, it was right after class, and many students were walking around in the corridor.
"Naoki-san, are you a little nervous?" Akina Nakamori asked curiously when she saw Nagayama Naoki, who looked a lot darker after putting on makeup. He seemed a little hesitant now.
"All the memories from high school came flooding back~"
Nagayama Naoki curled his lips. Speaking of which, this was the first time he came to school as a student since arriving in Showa. It also gave him a sense of immersion, and the memories of high school life kept coming to his mind.
A thin, dull, somewhat weak-looking boy with average academic performance. You can imagine the life of such a guy in a Japanese school.
"Naoki-san seems to have said that he was a very dull and lonely person in high school." Akina Nakamori looked at Nagayama Naoki and said, "It's really hard to imagine."
"Ah, it is true that high school life cannot be said to be very pleasant."
Even if you don't suffer too much bullying, being ignored and ostracized by your classmates is inevitable.
Not in the mood to continue exploring the campus, Naoki Nagayama and a few others quickly walked towards the rented classroom.
The students in the school had long heard that the classroom had been rented out, and in the morning they saw a group of strange faces in school uniforms entering the school, so when they saw Nagayama Naoki and the others, they all opened their eyes wide.
"Who is that person?" "He's very handsome~" "The girl next to him also looks familiar." "Is he a celebrity?" "Did our school be chosen as the filming set?"
Amidst the whispers among the crowd, Akina Nakamori and others walked very quickly.
If you were recognized at this time, you would be very upset!
Inside the classroom, a group of student-looking artists were chatting, and some girls, including Kyū Kijima, Kōaki Sakata, and Mitsuomi Obara, had already set up cameras.
As soon as Naoki Nagayama walked into the classroom, he heard a wave of greetings from "Boss Naoki". These guys all knew that Kaede Nagayama was his cousin.
"Naoki-san is like a bad boss," Akina Nakamori said quietly, Naoki Nagayama was also helpless.
After a few greetings, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Mina-san, have you read the script?"
"Hi~"
Although the answers were neat, Naoki Nagayama, as the director and starring actor of this movie, still started to tell the story to these guys.
"This afternoon, what we are going to shoot is the first meeting between the two protagonists. It was initially discovered that the two have the same name and surname, both named Fujii Shu."
Since there are several shots in this scene, Naoki Nagayama named the students’ positions and their reactions after that. Even Nakamori Akina’s reaction was also pointed out.
"Both of them were not extroverts when they were students, so they made less physical reactions and mainly used their eyes to express their inner emotions."
Nagayama Naoki looked at Akina's black and white eyes and felt that there should be no problem.
"Hi~"
He turned around and told Kijima Kyū: "Kijima-kun, you used soft-focus lenses for this shooting, right?"
"Hi~"
Regarding this memory of high school, Naoki Nagayama has long said that he wants to show the feeling like a beautiful golden memory, so professional photographers like Kyū Kijima are naturally ready.
"Okay, Kijima-kun, come and call Action!"
"Huh? Okay!"
Nagayama Naoki also sat on the seat, waiting for the shooting to begin. Looking back on the memories of high school, it seemed that the introverted and dull boy had returned to the classroom.
"Action!"
The two people who had just entered high school were waiting for the teacher's first roll call in the classroom.
When the teacher calling the roll called "Fujii Tree", two different people raised their hands at the same time.
"We have the same name and surname~"
The slightly surprised teacher didn't take it as a big deal, but the youthful entanglement between the two began just like that.
Akina Nakamori, who was starring in a movie for the first time, didn't feel any nervousness at all. It may be because she has adapted to facing the camera in her work as an idol.
In fact, a girl who is very cheerful in private, suddenly shuts her mouth and stops smiling, and only expresses her feelings with her eyes, she actually vividly shows her shyness and youthfulness of a girl.
When you are starring and directing at the same time, it is actually very difficult to take care of the whole scene. Fortunately, the male lead Fujii's role is not too many. Except for the most famous scenes, more shots are given to him.
For the starring Akina Nakamori.
"Cut!"
It was Nagayama Naoki who called to stop, "Everyone performed very well just now! Let's do it again next time, and we will follow the same level as before!"
He turned around and said to Kijima Xu: "What follows are a few close-ups, mainly of the faces of the two protagonists."
"Hi!" Kyū Kijima, who was originally just a cameraman, suddenly became an assistant director.
"Prepare.Action!"
As the sound started, the filming work quickly got into gear.
Because they had the same name and surname, they were ridiculed by classmates, were forcibly matched by the class, and even caused conflicts when voting for positions later.
Everything that happened in this classroom seemed to be sped up ten times faster in an instant, and was played out intermittently under the camera.
In addition to the unsmiling character played by himself, Nagayama Naoki was also narrating the drama for other characters on the scene.
"That taunting classmate, your tone should be arrogant and panicked as you run away! If you don't run away, you will be beaten if caught!" This was the student who was teasing the relationship between the two.
"The classmate who is sitting next to Akina and booing her. Have you ever experienced student booing? Even if Akina bursts into tears, she still has to keep saying, "Are you crying?" Ah, do you understand?"
When Nagayama Naoki was about to hold down the leading classmate, he had to pause for a moment.
"I say, Imamura Fumichi-kun, you have to resist at least once. You can't just give up!"
Imamura Fumiichi hesitated: "But the opponent is the boss Naoki! He instantly lost the will to resist."
"Even if the opponent is Brother Feng, you must devote yourself to the role wholeheartedly when acting! Do you understand?"
".Hi!"
As the school bell rang, Nagayama Naoki woke up from his work state.
"It seems that the lighting is not working anymore, and today's shooting is almost done." Naoki Nagayama said to the crew members, "Thank you for your hard work, that's it for today!"
"Hi~~"
Akina Nakamori walked next to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san is really dedicated when he is working."
"Has anyone ever said that?"
"While chatting, someone said that Naoki-san is very serious in the recording studio." Akina Nakamori laughed, "So everyone is actually a little afraid of collaborating with Naoki-san."
"Huh? Is that an exaggeration? I obviously feel like I'm getting along well with everyone, but Akina's song doesn't seem to have been made by me, right?"
"Hi was recorded at Warner Bros."
"I heard that Minai is actually quite serious when working? There are also rumors of being arrogant and acting like a big name?"
Nakamori Akina's face wrinkled: "Sometimes it's obvious that the employees didn't do their job properly. I just pointed it out."
"Hahaha~"
While chatting, Nagayama Naoki helped Kijima Kyor pack up his equipment. The next scene will be in the library and other campus locations.
"By the way, what do you want to eat tonight Akina?"
Seeing that the cast members were discussing going to Otaru City to go to the night market together, Naoki Nagayama also asked Akina Nakamori,
"Also, do you want to go out for a walk in the evening?"
Nakamori Akina looked around and saw no sign of her agent, and was very excited:
"Is this okay? Fang Ze-san and Maki-chan."
"They are all adults, so they will naturally take care of themselves!"
Nagayama Naoki said directly that in fact, during the afternoon filming, he sent the two of them back to the rented house.
These two people are already well aware of the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori. Now that they don't shy away from dating their manager, they can only let it go.
"Then let's go shopping~" Nakamori Akina's eyes turned into crescent moons, "But I have to change my school uniform first!"
While Naoki Nagayama was filming "Love Letter" in Otaru, Shuichi Itou in Kyoto was also busy filming "The Ring".
"Naoki-san, what do you think of this scene?" He subconsciously wanted to ask Nagayama Naoki for his opinion, but then he remembered that he was no longer here~
Itou Shuichi abruptly stopped what he was going to say next and turned to ask Komori Masataka:
"Naoki-san went to take pictures of the garden, right?"
"Hey, I left this morning," Masataka Komori said, "I took a camera crew with me."
"Alas" Itou Shuichi was a little helpless, Naoki Nagayama looked so willful, "Naoki-san can't wait until the filming of the movie is over before filming the courtyard decoration? What's so good about making a documentary about a small courtyard renovation!"
Komori Masataka said: "I heard before that it is a very large Chinese courtyard."
"Of course I know." Itou Shuichi naturally knows about Nagayama Naoki's courtyard and has even seen pictures. "I mean, can't we postpone the filming of the documentary?"
"Hahaha, maybe the renovation cannot be delayed."
In the name of haha, Masataka Komori immediately talked about something else,
"Shuichi-san, the daytime shooting is over. The next thing to shoot is the conversation between the protagonist Reiko Asakawa and the actor in the evening."
"Ah, by the way, we have an evening scene today!" Yi Tangxiu nodded, "Please inform Masako-kun that you will have to work overtime today."
"Hey, everyone already knows."
In the plot of "Midnight Ring", the relationship between the protagonist Reiko Asakawa and her ex-husband Takayama is also a main line. The outdoor conversation not only promotes the plot, but also makes the characters more full.
"Okay, let's go eat first~"
I have to wait until it gets dark.
"I wonder when that guy Naoki-san will come back! Without him, it feels like the filming process will be much slower!"
The two movies produced by Shuyou Pictures are currently being filmed in full swing, but Tokyo's entertainment industry has no intention of stopping and waiting for them.
Toei and Shochiku, who had been smearing "Hot Blood High School" before, saw that this kind of discussion related to delinquency has risen to a social issue, and no conclusion can be drawn if the discussion continues, so they can only stop.
Shochiku's Fukasaku Kinji once again found Yamada Yoji for a drink:
"Yoji-san, it seems that the smear campaign against "Hot Blood High School" is not very effective."
"Kinji-kun, because there are always some reporters and newspapers that intensify conflicts to the level of social issues and social education, the focus of everyone's debate at this time is not the movie "Hot Blood High School"!" Yamada Yoji said, "I think
We might as well give up this method!"
"But...but I've already done a lot of favors! So did the previous Film Ethics Review Committee!" Kinji Fukasaku said with a face full of reluctance, "Now the box office of "Hot Blood High School" has reached 3 billion, right?"
"What an enviable achievement!" Yamada Yoji sighed, he had never achieved such a high box office experience.
“Infuriating!”
Fukasaku Kinji drank the soju in the cup in one gulp. The hot feeling was as uncomfortable as the dazzling box office results.
"Actually, Kinji-kun." Yamada Yoji suddenly said, "Maybe we can change the direction."
"What?"
"Didn't Naoki Nagayama have an affair with Yuko Tanaka before?"
Kinji Fukasaku recalled: "That time, didn't we immediately hold a media briefing to explain? We also promoted the movie we were filming!"
"What I want to say is that that time, apart from us, there was actually another force that was dealing with Nagayama Naoki." Yamada Yoji did not sell out, "It was Toei."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "? Isn't Toei unhappy about watching Shuyou movies?" Kinji Fukasaku smiled, "Yes, we made so many movies in one year, and they are still the same.
A blockbuster movie!”
"How can it be repaired? "High School" is still on the air, and they are filming "Midnight Ring" again. Shuyu Pictures, no. Itou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki, don't these two people need to rest?" Fukasaku
Kinji shook his head and expressed his confusion, "Why do you have to curl it up like this?"
"New directors have to establish a firm foothold in the industry, otherwise people will forget the name Shuyu Pictures after one year." Yamada Yoji's tone contained the disdain for newcomers from an established film studio like Shochiku.
"Kinji-kun, what I just said means that we can attack the movie "Hot Blood High School" from other angles."
"Yoji-san, is there any good idea?" Fukasaku Kinji became interested.
"We can learn from the director's own dirty information. Shuichi Itou used to be a photographer for adult magazines, and Naoki Nagayama is too obsessed with his personal reputation."
Yamada Yoji talked eloquently,
"Now we are starting to collect negative information about the two of them and expose it during the selection of the Academy Awards and the Blue Ribbon."
"At that time, the judges will not vote for a director who generates negative news."
Fukasaku Kinji's eyes lit up. In this case, his chances of writing "Satomi Eight Dogs" should be much greater.
"Yoji-san, you can have this"
"You can also contact Toei, maybe you can get unexpected help!"
"Hahaha~ Yes, yes!"
These two guys, over fifty years old, were drinking wine and planning bad ideas in the box.
I didn’t feel at all that they were actually very similar to the villains in my own movies.
