"Why can't I remember my crush in high school..." Masataka Komori sighed.
The editing work of "Love Letter" is going smoothly with Naoki Nagayama's full dedication. At present, several important plots have been basically edited. Just now, Masataka Komori and others watched the high school clips.
That figure shining in the sun not only remains in the memory of the female version of Fujii, but also makes people who watch it unforgettable.
"That must be because Masataka-kun had too many crushes in high school!" Itou Shuichi said with a smile, "That's why I couldn't decide which one to remember!"
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki and Kijima Kyun both laughed.
"Who said that! I'm very dedicated, okay!" Komori Masataka immediately retorted, "It must be because all I have in my mind is Reina-chan, so I can't remember it!"
Rei Komori, that’s his current wife~
"Hey~~~" If you say something like this in a group of men, you will definitely be despised by everyone.
"Speaking of which~" Itou Shuichi said, "This movie is really a coincidence. Men can see the beauty of Ms. Akina Nakamori, and women can see the handsomeness of Naoki-san... However, Naoki-san
, aren’t you afraid that after this movie comes out, the audience will tie you to Akina Nakamori?”
"Haha, are you like Miura Yuka and Yamaguchi Momoe?" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "But Akina's fans should be very opposed to it..."
"Who told you to have so many scandals!"
"Is that my fault? Didn't I do it all just to hype up the movie?!" Naoki Nagayama took all the credit for the secretly photographed scandal~
"Hey~" Yi Tangxiu rolled his eyes, "Obviously he just saw that the young and beautiful girl couldn't walk!"
"Xiu Yi-san, even though we are so familiar with each other, I will still sue you for defamation!"
In the small editing room, there was constant chatter and laughter.
At this moment, the voice of Fangcun Otomo came from the door: "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san..."
"What's wrong?"
Fangcun Dayou walked in: "Is there nothing going on tonight?"
"It's nothing special..." Itou Shuichi immediately replied, "What's wrong, do you want to go to a dinner party? Haha~"
"No, there is a program coming~" Yoshimura Otomo said directly, "People from Fuji TV called, and there is a program that wants to invite the main crew members of "The Ring" to be guests. Ah, the program
The name is "Fuji All Night."
"this......"
Nagayama Naoki wanted to refuse as soon as he heard it. If he had this free time, he might as well eat hot pot at home!
Who knew that Yoshimura Otomo discovered his thoughts at a glance, and immediately said: "Naoki-san, don't try to escape! We have just signed a licensing contract and reached a publicity agreement!"
"But...that didn't say we were required to play on our own?!" Nagayama Naoki complained, "Why don't we just provide some materials?"
"It's not that simple. Appropriate appearances are still needed. We have already discussed it with Yuko Tanaka's office..." Yoshimura Otomo comforted, "Don't worry, we will pay for the labor! Naoki-san has 2 million!"
"
"!!!Am I the one who is short of this little money?!" Naoki Nagayama said with a cold eyebrow, "With this little money, I can only spend one night at most!"
"Haha, Naoki-san, it's very simple. It's simpler than a media meeting. You just need to chat~" Fangcun Otomo said with a smile, "This is a live show, so there is no need to rehearse and record in advance. It will be done tonight."
Just go there!"
Itou Shuichi asked: "Should I go too?"
"Of course, you are the director!" Yoshimura Otomo said, then turned and left, "There will be a car from the studio to take you there!"
This is because I am afraid that someone will escape halfway!
.......
The fame of the horror film "The Ring" continues to spread among people as the number of screenings increases.
Even during the daytime show, many moviegoers in the cinema were so frightened that they collapsed on their seats. At this time, it showed the foresight of Shuyou Films in allowing the cinema to prepare first aid equipment and contact an ambulance in advance.
In a department store in Shinjuku's business district, salespeople in the Toshiba home appliance section occasionally hear conversations like this:
"Like, so similar..."
"There won't be any Sadako crawling out, right?"
"Are you Baga? It's just a movie!"
"But, I'm really scared!"
After an unclear conversation, the pair of customers who were coming to buy a TV hurriedly ran away...
"Uemura, what's going on with you? Did you lose another customer?" Store manager Isamu Nakao asked the salesman Ko Uemura who had just been an intern, "Did you say something wrong again?!"
Salesman Isao Uemura was very helpless: "Manager, I don't know either. I just heard words like Sadako, movies, fear, etc., and then the customer ran away as if he saw something evil."
"Evil thing?" Nakao Yuuo frowned: he didn't say anything more, but he said, "Be sure to ask clearly later!"
"Hi!"
It wasn't until noon that Toshiba's home appliance section figured out what was going on.
Salesman Isao Uemura spread his hands and said, "So, that's what happened. Others watched a movie, and because it contained a scene where a ghost crawled out of the TV... it made the customers feel timid."
Store manager Nakao Yuuo, who is over mid-year old, is dubious: "Is there such a thing? Just a horror movie?! Is it so exaggerated?"
"Hey, it's said to be very scary!"
After walking around the store twice, store manager Isamu Nakao finally decided: "Uemura, isn't there a cinema on Shinjuku Street? Let's go take a look at noon to see what kind of horror it is!"
"Huh? Do I want to go too?" Isao Uemura was dumbfounded, "I don't want to...I haven't liked watching horror movies since I was a child!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yaga, you are already an adult, how can a Showa boy be afraid of a mere horror movie!" Isamu Nakao hates iron, "This is a test for you as a salesperson.
It’s time for members to be determined!”
"..."
Uemura Isao was finally dragged to the movies by Nakao Yuuo...
At the same time, a story about a terrifying horror movie spread rapidly among young people all over Japan:
In the high school paranormal club, someone who had watched the movie suggested watching "The Ring" as a courage test project;
Among college classmates, those who have watched it want to drag those who have not watched it into the water, while some boys are busy showing off their boyfriend power and decide to take female classmates with whom they have a better relationship to watch;
Among office workers who are depressed at work every day, young men and women want to watch horror movies as a way to seek excitement, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief in the constant busyness.
More and more people are walking towards the cinema...
........
After working hard all day in the studio, when I go home at night, the company continues to squeeze labor...
Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the back seat of Shuyou Films’ bus, was very emotional~
"As a boss, you have to work so hard~"
Itou Xiu next to him smiled and said: "Where are you, Naoki-san, have you forgotten that when we made our first movie, we were in the car for three days and three nights to promote it?"
"Ah...I remember, Otomo-san was still driving at that time..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the front row. Although Otomo Yoshimura was still there, the driver was replaced by a newcomer, Takeharu Kawahara.
"By the way, Wu Chun-kun, haven't you been running away with Chikoko-chan recently? Why are you back again?"
Fangcun Oitomo intercepted Hu and said: "...Chikoko-chan has been in Tokyo recently. Once we are sent there, Wu Chun-kun will go to pick her up."
"Ah, that's it." Nagayama Naoki continued to ask, "Chikoko-chan's new song hasn't been released yet, right?"
"Hey, it's been pre-heated on various programs now. The song "Thank you" is doing very well. When it is released at the beginning of the year, it should reach the top ten of the Oricon chart." Yoshimura Otomo is very confident.
"Ha, that's good~"
Naoki Nagayama naturally believes that in the future, the singer of this song will be more popular abroad than at home with this song alone.
By the time we arrived at the Fuji TV building, it was already dark. The closer we get to the winter solstice, the shorter the days become.
After Yoshimura Otomo dropped people off, he went to pick up Chikako Aoyama. When Naoki Nagayama and the two walked to the studio of "Fuji All Night", director Kimiaki Otsuka received them:
"Thank you Nagayama-san, Director Itou for coming to participate in our program. I am director Otsuka Kimiaki."
Nagayama Naoki saw that it was an acquaintance he had met in the conference room before, and a smile appeared on his face: "Director Otsuka, it is our honor to be on a popular program like "Fuji All Night"."
Itou Shuichi also said: "Yes, but Director Otsuka, due to time constraints, we don't have much preparation. Is such a live broadcast... okay?"
"Ah, no problem!" Otsuka Kimiaki laughed, "On "Fuji All Night," we focus on spontaneity and authenticity, and the host is also very good at controlling it, so it's okay! Nagayama-san, director Itou Just think of it as a simple chat.”
"However, to be on the safe side, I will first show you the questions that the host may ask..."
Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi looked at it for a while. They were all simple questions and did not involve anything particularly difficult to answer, so they didn't pay too much attention to them.
But I turned around and looked around, and I saw that Yuko Tanaka was not here...it seemed like there was a schedule conflict!
In the remaining few hours, the two of them were in the studio, watching Otsuka Koaki go through today's recording process several times for the new college assistants...
What focuses on authenticity and spontaneity! Even reality shows are scripted!
By the time the live broadcast finally started, it was already past 10 p.m.
“Welcome to today’s All Night Fuji!”
The host Yuki Yuki opened the show energetically in the studio. After a burst of opening music and dance, the host invited the female college assistants who appeared today to the stage.
"What are you paying attention to recently?" He seemed to be chatting with the female assistants.
"There is a very scary rumor~" A female college student pretended to be very pitiful. "I heard that when you are alone... there are scary ghosts crawling out of the TV!"
"Booming?!"
In Yuuki Gong's exaggerated expression, the movie "Midnight Bell" once again appeared in the "Fuji All Night" program. The audience in the audience also showed expressions of surprise and fear at the right time...
After citing many newspaper headlines, street news and gossip, Yuuki finally invited guests to the stage:
"Today, we invited the director and screenwriter of "The Ring", Director Itou and Mr. Naoki Nagayama, to the scene together! Let us share with you the origin and details of the horror movie "The Ring"!"
Along with a burst of welcoming music, Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi waved their hands and came on stage.
"Director Itou, is the process of filming a horror film very difficult?" Yuuki sat on the chair as if chatting, "Especially with such a terrifying plot, as a director, will you be scared?"
"Haha, Sadako's lead actor also said before that the filming process was actually very relaxing and fun!" Itou Shuichi said with a smile, "With more than a dozen people surrounding the actors and scenes, it's hard to be scared~"
"Hahaha~" The female college assistant on the stage and the audience laughed at the right time.
"What about Naoki-san? Do you feel scared when writing a script?" The microphone turned to Naoki Nagayama.
"How should I put it..." Naoki Nagayama also laughed, "Actually, at that time, I was writing a script for a horror film and at the same time I was writing a script for a romance film... so it was offset!"
"Eh? Did you write them together?"
"Yeah, if you feel scared, then switch to romance movies, if you feel bored, then write horror movies..."
"Won't there be any conflict of ideas?"
"Yeah, so I'm a little schizophrenic now~"
"Oh~~..." There were boos on the spot, and the host Yuki Gong didn't expect that the guests on the show would be more troublesome than the host.
"Haha, it doesn't look like it~" Yukigong said.
"Otherwise, how could we write a plot like Sadako crawling out of the TV!" Nagayama Naoki threatened, "I really saw it when I was schizophrenic!"
Yuki Gong immediately pretended to be frightened and shouted: "Scary!!!"
"Where is the doctor?! Call the doctor!"
The atmosphere of the whole scene was relaxed and pleasant, and it was almost more interesting than Mancai.
Director Kimiaki Otsuka, who was monitoring in real time in the studio, did not expect that the guests could have such a collision with the host. He sighed inexplicably, Naoki Nagayama is really a comedian who was delayed by the movie!
Today's "Fuji All Night" looks like its ratings will definitely go up!
The live broadcast on the stage continued. After chatting, Yuki Gong finally came up with some practical information: "Naoki-san, Director Yitang, look at it, what is this?"
Looking at the photo held by the female college assistant, Shuichi Itou and Naoki Nagayama were both a little surprised:
"Isn't this... the filming location of "The Ring"!"
Yuuki Gong smiled and said: "Hi, this is the old-fashioned courtyard in Kyoto, which is also the filming location of "Midnight Bell". After obtaining permission, our reporters were able to walk in and shoot. Now, please connect to Kyoto reporter!"
Following the command of Otsuka Koaki, the scene went to the courtyard of Kyoto, where a well-dressed young man was seen in the main hall of the courtyard, introducing everyone.
"Mina-san, this is the location where "The Ring" was filmed... As far as we know, this house is where the scene where Sadako climbed out of the TV took place... It looks very It’s eerie and scary!”
In the middle of the night, such an old-fashioned courtyard is very scary, especially since it reminds people of "The Ring". The entire live broadcast is like visiting a haunted house.
Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi also looked at the connection screen in surprise, not expecting that the other party would actually go to the field.
"Director Itou...Naoki-san, what do you think when you see this courtyard again?" Yuuki asked after the connection ended.
Itou Shuichi said: "Although it has been a long time, in retrospect there are traces of the filming everywhere... But on the live broadcast screen, it always feels eerie, Yuuki-san, it is best to let the host over there People go to the temple to get bad luck...I heard that the courtyard was a battlefield, with many casualties and heavy grievances..."
"Um...I will remind you...hehehe~" Yuuki Gonggan smiled and turned to Nagayama Naoki, "Where is Naoki-san? What do you think?"
"Ah... I think the landlord will be angry..." Nagayama Naoki laughed, "After today's live broadcast, this courtyard probably won't be sold... Hahaha~"
"...."
After a moment of silence, the entire studio began to laugh~
........
Time moved forward a little. In the afternoon, Toshiba Electric store manager Isao Nakao and clerk Isao Uemura returned to the store in the department store.
Nakao Takeo took a sip of hot tea and calmed down: "Uemura, I must not talk nonsense about what happened to me in the cinema!"
"Hey, I will never tell anyone else that the store manager was so scared that he crawled under the chair!"
Uemura Isao said this, but his mind went back to when he was watching the movie. In the scene where Sadako appeared, although he was too scared to move, Nakao Yuuo next to him collapsed on the floor of the screening room.
, almost got under the chair.
"Baga, I told you to stop talking!"
".....Hi!"
What a Showa man! He doesn’t change anything! They are all excuses! Isao Uemura felt that the store manager who was always superior to others turned out to be just an ordinary middle-aged man!
Nakao Yuuo's eyes wandered, and he clearly hadn't recovered from the movie... In the blink of an eye, he saw his own TV, and he was shocked.
"I finally understand why customers don't want to buy TV sets... It's a bit similar, and we have a whole container here..."
Isao Uemura also feels the same way: "I always feel like every one of them is Sadako's exit...it's scary~"
"Baga, don't continue talking, I have an impression in my mind!"
"...Hi~"
"However, if this phenomenon continues, it will have an impact on revenue! Uemura, please find a way for me quickly!"
"What can I do...should I stop "Midnight Ring" from airing?" Uemura Isao is just a newly graduated high school student!
"Baga, if you don't think of it, I will deduct your salary!" As if he felt that his authority had been damaged, the store manager now had a bad temper and was cursing.
"..."
Intern workers have no human rights... Uemura Isao looked helplessly at the shopping mall outside, feeling that his wages had to be deducted...
Suddenly, he saw an obvious sign on the pillar - no smoking allowed...
A big red prohibition icon covers the cigarette butt on white paper, as if the cigarette butt is covered with a restraint that must not be broken.
Isao Uemura had an idea: "Manager Nakao! Why don't we stick a no-passage sign on the TV screen!"
"???What nonsense are you talking about?"
"In this way, Sadako will be able to realize that this exit cannot come out!" Isao Uemura vowed, "Then she will not come out of our TV! It will also make the guests feel at ease!"
"...It sounds reasonable..." The store manager actually nodded.
"Then I'll go to the printing shop next door to print some!" Isao Uemura went there immediately.
After a rough operation, a large no-passage sign was posted on the TV screen of Toshiba Home Appliances, with a red mark on a white background, which was very eye-catching.
Isao Uemura and Isao Nakao looked at the weird and absurd appearance of this shelf, and they actually seemed to feel a sense of security...
"Now, Sadako-san will probably not come out from here!" Uemura Isao sighed, "But store manager-san, what if the customer goes home and wants to watch TV and takes off the sign?"
