495. If you have secrets in your heart, you will worry about gains and losses~
Entering Kyoto in November, we are covered in a gorgeous dress made of red leaves.
Naoki Nagayama was sitting on the high-speed train, watching the maple leaves quickly sliding past the window to form an impressionistic picture with paint splattered on it. The only thing that made people remember was the red color all over the mountains and plains.
The mountain scenery on both sides of the railway track is full of maple trees. At this moment, other green leaf trees are overshadowed by red maples.
"Red leaves hunt." Naoki Nagayama was holding a brochure introducing the scenery of Kyoto, which he got for free from the station.
On the side, Kijima Xu was also looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window:
"Naoki-san, do we want to take some pictures of Kyoto's red leaves?"
"There shouldn't be a chance, right?" Naoki Nagayama said casually, "Isn't it almost over with Shuichi-san?"
"According to the shooting progress, there should be one or two days left." Kyū Kijima recalled the previous progress.
"That was before." Naoki Nagayama said, "The important shots have actually been shot, so it will be faster to shoot further back. I left a little extra time before, but it should be completed now."
All that's left is to edit hard in a small room! Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama frowned in frustration, he really didn't want to work!
Looking at Nagayama Naoki's appearance, Kijima Kyū wanted him to be alone for a while, but he still had a question in his mind that he had to ask:
"Naoki-san, if you go back this time, why don't you tell Shuichi-san what we are doing?"
Hearing this, Nagayama Naoki suddenly became energetic: "Kishima-kun, you must not reveal it!"
"But, if I hide it like this, I always feel sorry for Shuichi-san~" Kijima Xu fell into a moral dilemma called betrayal and concealment, "Shuichi-san is our boss, we shouldn't take private jobs without telling him.
"
"Kijima-kun, you have to think this way~" Nagayama Naoki said with a sharp tongue, "Your boss's boss is also your boss, right?"
"Hi."
"So if your boss's boss assigns you a task but does not tell your boss, then the order of the boss's boss should prevail, right? Because your boss's boss is also your boss's boss! Right?
?”
"Ah? Naoki-san, I don't understand."
The logical relationship that goes around and around makes Kijima Kyor a little dizzy, but this is what Nagayama Naoki wants to achieve:
"So, the relationship here is inherently complicated, and it's normal to not understand it. However, Kijima-kun, just listen to me!"
"Ah, that's it~"
Kijima Xu was successfully persuaded, and Nagayama Naoki also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that his mouth escape skills have not deteriorated after all!
However, Kyū Kijima gave Naoki Nagayama a warning. He should think about how to deal with Shuichi Itou’s discovery of the truth!
With Jiayi-chan gone, Shuichi-san’s weakness is gone~
It took less than two hours to get from Kobe to Kyoto. The high-speed train was transferred directly to the subway. Nagayama Naoki and others came to the rented courtyard in Kyoto.
The crew was packing up the camera equipment and seemed to be getting ready to go out.
"Shuiichi-san! What are you doing?" Nagayama Naoki made the first comment.
"Ah, Naoki-san, you're back." Shuichi Itou noticed the few people who had returned, "Just in time, we are going to shoot the last scene in the afternoon."
"Huh? The last scene?"
"Well, Reiko Asakawa decided to show the video to her father in order to save her child."
Only then did Nagayama Naoki remember that there was a speechless ethical episode about "patriicide" in the movie.
When I originally wrote the script, I just wrote it down according to the original plot, but the entire crew had no doubts about this plot.
Alas~ I can only say that the cultural atmosphere in Japan is indeed a bit strange. The middle-aged and elderly men in Japan are really miserable.
"So this is it~" Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "So, it can be completed today?"
Itou Shuichi glanced at the relaxed Nagayama Naoki angrily:
"Yes, Naoki-san caught up to the end."
"Hahaha, how lucky you are!" Naoki Nagayama shamelessly pretended not to hear, "Shuichi-san, if we happen to be in Kyoto, let's just have the closing banquet tonight!"
"Well, it's not impossible~"
Naoki Nagayama, who was not too tired, was walking around in the crew and looked energetic.
"Yuko-san, it looks like the filming will be finished today." At this time, Yuko Tanaka was harassing Yuko who was reciting her lines, "How do you feel?"
"It feels a little unreal, a movie can be made so quickly," Yuko Tanaka said to Naoki Nagayama with a smile, "and that's even when the director always disappears."
"Yuko-san, I'm not a director! I'm a screenwriter and producer!" Naoki Nagayama pointed at Shuichi Itou who was directing at the side and said, "Shuichi-san is the real director!"
"Hi!" Tanaka Yuko nodded, still smiling and said, "What's more, the strange atmosphere of your crew is that the director is not like a director, the screenwriter is not like a screenwriter, and the producer is not like a producer, but the filming process happened to be very smooth."
Tanaka Yuko is an actor who has experienced many directors. She is very familiar with other directors' styles on the set. Without exception, the director is the soul of the set. Everyone must listen to the director. Even the producer cannot do it without reason.
Interfere with the director's work.
On the set of Shuyou Pictures, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou actually became the two core members of the crew, but no one had any doubts.
Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, maybe this is trust, but he still joked: "Of course it is because I am humble and gentle, and I can always take care of Shuichi-san's thoughts!"
"Hahaha, how shameless!" Tanaka Yuko laughed even louder.
After laughing and scolding for a while, Naoki Nagayama asked about something more serious: "Yuko-san, after you finish shooting and go back, you have to participate in the final rehearsal of the Kohaku Utakara, right?"
"Hey, there have been rehearsals before. Although I have a lot of opinions, they are still acceptable. If I go back this time and practice more, there will be no problem." Tanaka Yuko was full of confidence.
"Well, you do need to practice more. After all, it is a live broadcast, so the pressure is still very high!" Naoki Nagayama sighed.
Tanaka Yuko rolled her eyes after hearing this: "Naoki-san, are you here specifically to increase the pressure on me?"
"Hahaha~"
Seeing that Tanaka Yuko had raised her hand, Nagayama Naoki quickly yelled and ran away.
"But this time Yuko-san is hosting, and Akina will also appear, should I go to the scene to join in the fun?" Nagayama Naoki was thinking about it on the side, and asked Komori Masataka, "Masataka-kun, if I want
If I go to the Red and White Song Festival, is there anything the company can do?"
Komori Masataka was surprised: "Huh? Naoki-san is going to perform at the Red and White Song Festival? This year's program should be confirmed, right?"
"I mean go and see the scene~"
"Ah, that's it. That shouldn't be a problem. Otomo-san can definitely get the qualifications!"
Shuyou Pictures is now considered a well-known film production company in the entertainment industry, not to mention that it currently cooperates with Fuji TV, so it is very simple to get a ticket.
"That's it~" Nagayama Naoki kept this in mind.
The filming process went very smoothly, and Tanaka Yuko's performance was very good, showing a mother's tangled, painful, and ultimately forced mentality.
The entire crew was also very relaxed, and everyone knew that this was the last scene.
"CUT!" Itou Shuichi shouted the final words, "Yuko-san, your performance was perfect! You passed the test!"
Tanaka Yuko responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment~"
Yi Tangxiu nodded, looking at the eyes of the crew around him, he felt a little excited:
"Mina-san! Our filming is over!"
Naoki Nagayama was the first to applaud, and the entire crew followed suit. The clapping applause was noisy and joyful.
Yi Tangxiu raised his hand and pressed it to calm everyone down:
"Next, everyone packs up the things and puts them back in the courtyard, and then we have a big dinner together in the evening!"
"Wow~~~" "Arigado!" "Great!" "Can't wait~"
The entire crew became noisy again, and everyone happily discussed the evening party.
In the Warner Pioneer office in Tokyo, Tanaka Yoshiaki is waiting for the arrival of Nakamori Akina.
The popularity of the previous song "Forbidden Zone" has already declined, and the production of the next song also needs to be started. Forget it at the end of the year, there are too many programs at the end of the year.
But it is very necessary to make a good start next year.
Tanaka Yoshiaki had not seen Akina for a week or two. At this time, he still had several songs to choose from, but a song called "Mysterious Love" was placed at the top.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tanaka Yoshiaki knew that it was Nakamori Akina who had arrived:
"Akina-chan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Huh?"
What came in was a young girl with short hair that reached her ears. She had a fair face and rosy cheeks with warm and energetic eyes. She was young and beautiful.
"Akina-chan, are you cutting your hair?"
Akina Nakamori laughed. Many people have asked her today: "Hi, I changed my hairstyle a little because of the needs of the shooting."
How is this a little bit? It has already changed to a great extent, okay?
"Ah, that's it. It feels very trendy."
Tanaka Yoshiaki said incomprehensively, and when he saw Akiyuki Fusunori coming in, he gave him a stern look - What's going on with you as an agent?!
Akiko Fusa, on the other hand, returned a calm look - what's all the fuss about? It's just a hair change. If you need a different image, just wear a wig.
After chatting for a while, Tanaka Yoshiaki decided to put it aside and focus on business:
"Akina-chan, the next song has been written. It is a new song composed by Lin Zheji."
"Hey, are you ready?" Nakamori Akina was very happy. She specifically asked Lin Zheji to compose the music.
"Yeah, but everyone has some objections about the name. Some people think it's called "Mysterious Love", some people just say "Love is the Mystery" in English, and some people think "Night Flight" is also good. Everyone is a little worried."
Akina Nakamori looked at the music score and lyrics, hummed softly, and liked it very much.
Tanaka Yoshiaki continued:
"Although it is very tight, I hope Akina-chan will record the song by the end of November, and then the subsequent cover, promotion, etc., will be completed in December. Our plan is to officially release it early next year."
Regarding these, Nakamori Akina only listened to a general idea. What she paid more attention to was the song itself.
"The lyrics are also very good. The firm choice of starting from the north wing and flying to his side is what love is."
Tanaka Yoshiaki's mouth went dry as he spoke: "Akina-chan, do you have any questions about the arrangement of this song?"
"Ah, stupid tape! There is no problem at all." Nakamori Akina came back to her senses, "But Ryoaki-san, the name of this song might as well be called "North Wing", a place to witness parting and love~"
"Well" Tanaka Yoshiaki thought for a while and felt that this name seemed to match the story of the lyrics, and it seemed more suitable than a name like "Mysterious Love" which sounded very empty.
"Akina-chan is very talented at naming!"
"Hahaha~"
In Mishima-tei in Sakuranocho, Nakakyo District, Kyoto, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou, along with the crew of "The Ring", are tasting authentic Kansai cuisine.
This old restaurant, which has been passed down for a hundred years, still has a traditional old-fashioned wooden structure, and the beef used for sukiyaki is also Kuroge Wagyu beef.
Grease the bottom of the pot with butter, sprinkle with a little sugar, and then add the soup, beef and vegetables. The hot sukiyaki made the whole crew's cheerful atmosphere even higher.
"Cheers, Masataka-kun!" Itou Shuichi was also very happy, "Thanks to you for the hard work this time!"
Komori Masataka hurriedly said: "Everywhere, this is what I should do!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Others were also eating authentic Kansai food while joking with the people next to them.
Nagayama Naoki and the crew drank a glass of soju, then put the beef wrapped in egg liquid into their mouths, and used the Wagyu beef that melted in the mouth to suppress the rising alcohol odor.
I heard Itou Shuichi say to himself: "Naoki-san, let's have a drink too!"
"Although Naoki-san left twice during the filming, our filming work still cannot be done without Naoki-san's help!"
Nagayama Naoki laughed a little guiltily, but he still managed to hold on and said: "Hahaha, the main thing is that Shuichi-san is here, so I can ask for leave with peace of mind!"
"Haha, no matter what, the filming is finally over!" Itou Shuichi smiled and finished a glass of wine, "But Naoki-san can't run away during editing?"
"Yeah, of course, of course!" Naoki Nagayama agreed repeatedly.
Itou Shuichi sat next to him and seemed to feel uncomfortable with the key in his pocket. He wanted to take it out and put it on the table, but he also took out a wrinkled note.
"Ah, that's right!" Itou Shuichi handed it to Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, can you see if this is yours?"
"I picked it up in a room in the courtyard, and it had the address of a pottery workshop in Kobe written on it. I asked other people, but it didn't belong to them." Itou Shuichi's expression was normal, "I'm worried it's some important information.
So it has been kept until now.”
"Eh?"
Nagayama Naoki was shocked. He took the note and looked at it. It read "Ochiai Pottery Workshop, 3-1-14 Kita Nagasato-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe City"!
This is where they went to shoot!
Nagayama Naoki's mind was spinning, and he immediately glanced at Kijima Kyon and found that his expression seemed to be stiff. That's right, Kijima Kyon was afraid of forgetting the address, so he wrote it down! And then he threw it in the courtyard!
Nagayama Naoki was watching when he heard Itou Shuichi's voice and thought again: "Naoki-san, is it yours?"
Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki with a glass of wine, as if he was really asking, but he had just mentioned the matter of asking for leave midway. The question at this moment, coupled with the look of a man who had the pearl of wisdom in hand, had to let go
Nagayama Naoki suspected,
Does Shuichi-san know something?! Why don’t you click on me here?
"Ah this"
Nagayama Naoki hesitated, but had no good reply for a while. He glanced at Kijima Xu again, and his whole body was stiff. If his sense of presence was not too low, someone might have noticed something abnormal!
"Do you want a batch of custom-made pottery for Naoki-san's courtyard?" Itou Shuichi gave the reason at the right time.
Nagayama Naoki could only temporarily walk down the steps: "Ah, yes. Yes, there are a lot of pottery for decoration~ The workshop that others introduced!"
"Hahaha, I really thought it right!" Itou Xiuyi smiled and drank the wine in the glass, "But since it is such important information, you must keep it well! Don't lose it again!
If the quality is good, next time I want to order custom pottery, I will order from this place!”
"Yeah, that's for sure."
Nagayama Naoki looked at Itou Shuichi's expression, not sure if there was something in his words, so he could only nod in agreement, and then stuffed the note into his pocket.
At the following closing banquet, Naoki Nagayama ate absent-mindedly, keeping an eye on Itou Shuichi’s expression.
"Xiu Yisang took this opportunity to bring it out. What exactly do you want to say?"
Until the end of the game, there was no result.
In the evening, on the way back, Shuichi Itou asked Komori Masataka to look at everyone, and then walked to Naoki Nagayama:
"Naoki-san, you had the wedding banquet tonight, do you want to go back together tomorrow?"
"Huh?" Of course I'll follow, let's go back together!
"Has the filming of the Kyoto garden been completed? It's time for the red leaf hunting, do you want to wait a little longer?"
Only then did Nagayama Naoki realize that he was staying in a hotel near the courtyard and was not with the crew!
"Ah, um, it's almost done. But now the yard is full of dirt, and the trees haven't been planted yet!"
"Oh? Then it looks like we have to wait until next year?" Itou Shuichi wanted to say something else, but his head was dizzy, so he just said vaguely, "Since there is nothing else, Naoki-san will go up and gather with us tomorrow.
Bar!"
"Well, I just want to check out the room tomorrow." Nagayama Naoki followed Itou Shuichi's words and said, "Can we meet around 9 a.m.?"
"No problem!" Yi Tangxiu shook his arm, "Haha, before Naoki-san leaves, you can take some photos of the courtyard~"
Watching the others walking further and further away, Nagayama Naoki fell into deep thought:
"Does he know it? Or doesn't he know it?" "Shooting without leaving the courtyard."
How can we cultivate? It’s too worrying to have secrets in our hearts!
