487, the first part has not been finished yet, the sequel has already been considered!
Naturally, I can’t sleep in the old house that serves as a studio at night.
Do you really want to have close contact with Miss Sadako?
A group of people stayed at a hotel in Izu Oshima. It was foreseeable that their stay would last four or five days.
In the open-air dining room of the hotel, the entire crew was having dinner here, and Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou were chatting while having a drink.
"Naoki-san, is that program called "Dusk Meow Meow" sure to be launched?"
Nagayama Naoki nodded: "If nothing else happens, the preparations will be completed and recorded next week, and it may be released next week."
"So fast?" Itou Shuichi was a little surprised.
"Hahaha, with the support of Fuji TV, it is just a variety show, so of course there is no problem." Naoki Nagayama said easily.
"But as I said last time, this time it's not about selecting a certain idol to debut, but the entire group. Is that really okay?"
Itou Shuichi was still a little worried.
"We established a company to handle the debut, and this time we have the support of Burning Agency. There is nothing to worry about." This time the role of Etsuro Kikuchi is revealed.
"So Naoki-san is going back next week?"
"I always have to take a look." Nagayama Naoki didn't make any excuses, "But it's just a look. Someone will handle the specific matters."
"That's good~"
Itou Shuichi drank a glass of beer and breathed a long sigh of relief, "The filming of "Midnight Ring" was probably completed when that show was released."
"Yes, it will be released before Halloween, and you can also participate in this year's film selection." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.
"By the way, the evaluation of "Hot Blood High School"?"
"It seems that the people behind that movie have nothing to do." Nagayama Naoki no longer cares at all. The movie's release period is almost over, and those smear forces really have nothing to do.
"I'm afraid they are doing the competition." Itou Shuichi was still a little worried.
"Shuichi-san, it's not like you don't have teachers and classmates from the film school, it's not like I don't have friends in the film industry, and it's not like Kadokawa doesn't have money and channels, so there's nothing to be afraid of~"
Speaking of which, in the film industry, Shuyou Pictures may not be a big player, but its ability to withstand external disturbances is not weak.
"That's right~" Itou Shuichi put down his worry about gains and losses. He had no choice. It had only been more than two years and he still didn't have the calmness to practice. "Come on, Naoki-san, cheers!"
"cheers!"
After dawn the next day, the entire crew slowly regained their energy, and the entire filming process progressed in an orderly manner.
With the addition of Naoki Nagayama, the filming progress of "The Ring" has once again moved to a higher level.
Itou Shuichi is a very experienced director with a professional background, but when he shoots movies, he is accustomed to the old-fashioned director's method, shooting multiple images, and then selecting the most suitable one for editing. This naturally increases the workload a lot.
times.
Naoki Nagayama is completely different, he usually only has one!
He doesn't know much about film theory, but if you ask him about montage, postmodernism, etc., he can still tell you a lot;
But what are the differences between classic film theory and modern film theory, or the difference between first film semiotics and second film semiotics?
Then I can only stay for a while.
However, with the help of movies he has watched in the future, Naoki Nagayama is always able to select shots that have been tested by movie fans in advance, thus reducing the number of shots that originally required multiple guarantees to a minimum.
For example, when searching for a buried well in the basement:
"Masaka-kun, when taking pictures of the basement, you can't use a flashlight with such a large aperture. You should use a flashlight with a smaller range. This will not illuminate other places, adding to the unknown and thrilling feeling!"
When viewing the remains of Sadako Yamamura:
"Yuzi-san, you are panicking at this time, but it is not about the bones. You are already a senior reporter with rich experience. You will not be scared at this level, but you should be anxious and relieved because you have found the bones.
, it will solve the problem!”
However, in the evening, when filming Sadako climbing out of the well, Nagayama Naoki always felt a little bit worse:
"Shuichi-san and Hualing-san's body texture is very good, and the stiffness is also reflected, but I always feel that there is something lacking."
Igarashi Karei in flowing white clothes is standing next to her. If she doesn't comb her hair to the front, she actually looks pretty good!
However, the original work of "The Ring" does say that Sadako is a beautiful woman, which is quite consistent.
Itou Xiu glanced at Igarashi Hualing: "There is no problem with Hualing-san's physical skills. Do we need to change the lighting or angle?"
"Well, let me think about it." Nagayama Naoki walked to the well in the forest, walking back and forth, thinking about how to take better footage.
"Climb out of the well. Climb out of the well, etc. What if you don't crawl out of the well, but are forcefully attracted back by the well?
Aren’t the earth-bound spirits unable to leave the place where they are bound?!”
Nagayama Naoki had a flash of inspiration and said to Igarashi Karei, who played Sadako: "Karei-san, the stiffness and body movements are still the same as before, but this time try to see if you can walk in backwards!"
"Huh?" X2, Itou Shuichi also expressed his confusion.
"We filmed her walking into the well backwards, and then edited it out!" Itou Shuichi said, "Masataka-kun, come on, the film for this one is a bit special, get a new one!"
"Hi!"
After understanding it, Igarashi Karin tried walking backwards a few times, gradually became proficient, and started shooting.
The same movement, if done backwards, is of course more difficult than walking normally. When viewed on the director's monitor, the distortion of the entire process is indeed much more distorted than walking forwards.
"Shuichi-san, if we edit it again later, the scene of climbing out of the well will have two feelings of moving forward and backward at the same time. It will definitely be very weird!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"Yes, it feels weird watching it now, and I will definitely get goosebumps when the time comes!" Itou Shuichi also nodded in agreement.
It was already getting late after shooting this period. After Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou discussed it, they ended today’s shooting.
"Tomorrow, use black and white film to shoot Yamamura Sadako's mother, Shizuko, when she is here!" Itou Shuichi said about tomorrow's shooting plan, "There will also be some data images of Sadako in the future."
"There are about two days of work left," Itou Shuichi continued, "Thanks to Naoki-san, the efficiency has suddenly become much higher."
"Hahaha." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand and did not accept the credit. Instead, he said, "Shuichi-san, if you want to take pictures, it's best to take more pictures of the scenes here."
"Huh? Why?"
"It will be a backup for the future!" Naoki Nagayama said, "I think the movie "The Ring" will definitely be a hit, and it can be used in sequels and the like."
"Has Naoki-san actually considered this far?" Itou Shuichi was impressed.
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I had dinner with the crew and went to the hot springs for a while. When I returned to the room to rest, Naoki Nagayama's pager rang.
The hotel in Izu Oshima did not have a telephone in the room, so Naoki Nagayama had to dial back at the front desk.
"Naoki-san?" In her apartment in Tokyo, Akina Nakamori waited for the phone to ring and then answered it.
"Akina, it's me." Nagayama Naoki replied, leaning against the pillar, "Has Akina gone home?"
"Hi, today's rehearsal is over." Akina Nakamori sat cross-legged on the sofa, drinking ice milk while talking to Naoki Nagayama, "Where's Naoki-san, are you in Kyoto?"
"I'm on a big island. Does Izu Oshima know?" Naoki Nagayama continued without waiting for her to answer, "Right next to the Izu Peninsula, there is an active volcano called Mount Mihara."
"Ah, that's where it is!" Nakamori Akina exclaimed, "Isn't it the suicide holy place?"
"Akina also knows, right?" Nagayama Naoki laughed, "It's a very scary place."
Akina Nakamori sat up straight and said a little nervously: "When I was in school, some classmates always spread this saying, saying that if it doesn't work, just jump off the crater of Mount Mihara or something like that."
"Are Akina's classmates actually so world-weary?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless. In this era, the Heisei wastes shouldn't have come out yet, right?
"No, it's just that it sounds cool to say!" Akina curled her lips, "Those guys always talk about it after seeing others being scared."
"Ah, adolescent students." Nagayama Naoki understood that teenagers in this period always want to attract others' attention.
Nagayama Naoki almost laughed out loud: "Akina, what are you talking about? Why should I jump?"
"I heard that there is a strange resentment there. It is the resentment of people who committed suicide there before. It will seduce all the people who go there to have resentment in their hearts. If they are desperate, they will be tempted to jump from the crater to join them!"
Akina on the phone was talking about the gossip stories she had heard, and at the end she said, "Anyway, Naoki-san, please don't stay there any longer!"
"How can that be done? There are still three days of shooting work!" Nagayama Naoki reassured, "Don't worry, we bought a lot of amulets from the local goddess, and we will also do some rituals every time we shoot."
This is true. There are more than one or two people who are superstitious in this era. The crew will bring a mage with them every day to do nothing but chant sutras in the other side of the room.
"That's it." It's related to career, and Nakamori Akina has no choice, "But Naoki-san, remember, no matter what happens, there is someone in Tokyo waiting for you to come back!"
Feeling a warmth in his heart, Nagayama Naoki slowly said:
"Hey, I get it! Akina should also remember that no matter what happens, there is someone waiting for you!"
The sour love words during the passionate love stage made the hotel owner who occasionally heard them feel a sense of discomfort.
After taking a look at Nagayama Naoki, he rolled his eyes and quickly left the front desk using the excuse of inspection.
The conversation after that became even more relaxed and continued late into the night.
Nakamori Akina's rehearsals in Tokyo are busy times. Sometimes she attends the singing festival in the morning, then arrives at the screening in the afternoon, and sometimes she teaches the movements of the red and white stages in the evening.
If there is no rehearsal, then announcements will come to you one after another at the right time. In short, there will not be much free time.
Nagayama Naoki is okay here, he only has two movies and one show on him, so there is still some space for him to move around.
"Akina, I will go back to Tokyo in about a week and see you again then!"
"Yeah~" Akina agreed, and then asked, "Naoki-san, where is the filming of "Love Letter"?"
"It is estimated that it will snow in mid-November, so I will go take pictures at that time!" Nagayama Naoki is not sure. In November, it will definitely snow in Hokkaido, but in Kobe City, I am not sure. "
In short, I will definitely shoot twice in November, one in Kobe and one in Otaru!”
"Hi~"
When Nagayama Naoki finally hung up the phone, the hotel owner Shi Shiran returned to the front desk.
Ever since Sugiura Oitai confirmed the launch of "Dusk Mew", all relevant people have started to get involved.
Etsuro Kikuchi went to the Burning office again, found Ikuo Sufang, asked for contacts in the Burning department, and issued a call for program assistants throughout Japan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thanks to TV and radio advertisements and the promotion of many agencies, many girls of the right age have already called or written to sign up.
Because there is no need for high screening criteria like the draft, the first batch of program assistants drafted by Etsuro Kikuchi are all relatively close to Tokyo.
After gathering the people, they will be ready to play at any time after a few days of training!
But I still called Fangcun Dayou: "Dayou-san, I'm almost ready here. Is there any problem with the schedule of the three Maoyan sisters?"
Yoshimura Otomo naturally answered well on the phone: "Hi, I'm free. You can go to rehearsal at any time."
Kikuchi Etsurou nodded and said: "That's good. Fukuhara Ayano and Nonaka Saka here have also been looking forward to it for a long time!"
"The Wildcats are reunited." Otomo Yoshimura has always been obsessed with the ancestral girl group he brought up. "I hope this time can be long-lasting!"
"Otomo-san, you can definitely do it! The Wildcats, and the backup Kitten Club!" Etsurou Kikuchi was confident, "We will definitely make these two girl groups popular in Japan!"
"Hahaha, I hope so!"
As one of the core characters, Yasushi Akimoto spent all day in the Fuji TV studio, supervising the stage layout while immersed in writing scripts.
"What song will we use to open the show? As for dancing, won't it be too difficult and require training?"
"There are also guests in the first issue, are they the three sisters of Maoyan and the two-person kitten club of the Wild Cat Group?"
Akimoto Yasushi suddenly saw a decorated cat head on the stage, and suddenly an idea flashed,
"Cat ears?! And that cat dance when it just came out?"
"Although it might not be so sexy if girls come to dance, wouldn't it be interesting for a group of girls who want to grow up?!"
After determining the direction, Akimoto Yasushi immersed himself in writing!
There is nothing wrong with this grand appearance!
When I was writing about the filming process, I had to read the analysis of "The Ring" late at night, and I was thinking about it!
