594, you can’t even act miserably? This is the basic quality of an actor, right?
...
It was midnight, and Nagayama Naoki, who had been busy for a long time, packed up the manuscript papers in the study and went to take a shower and go to bed.
I used my brain too much today...I'm really tired~
Nagayama Naoki, who was arranging his clothes, didn't notice that the hour and minute hands of the wall clock in the room slowly pointed to the 12 o'clock position, and a new day was about to begin...
"Dingling bell~~Dingling bell~~"
At this moment, the phone in the bedroom suddenly rang!
In the quiet environment, Nagayama Naoki was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell. The hairs on his arms suddenly stood up, and his whole body was awake...
Even Taro Taro in the bedroom suddenly jumped up...but at least he knew it was a phone, so he didn't howl.
"I chose this time specially..." Nagayama Naoki now knows how Tsuruko felt when he called his sister who had just watched "The Ring".
"It can't be a harassing call, right~" He picked up the phone and said tentatively, "Moses, Moses, this is Yamasakura-in~"
Only a whirring sound was heard from the microphone, and a few seconds later, an energetic voice rang:
"Naoki-san! Are you scared?!"
It turns out to be my quirky girlfriend~
"...Akina..." Nagayama Naoki sat on the edge of the bed and asked a little funny, "Are you trying to scare me? I'm the director of "The Ring"!"
In the apartment in Sumida District, Akina, who was sitting under the quilt in her pajamas, was a little unconvinced:
"Who says directors can't be afraid? Isn't there another director who was so frightened that he lost control?"
"Akina, don't whip Director Fukasaku out again... He's very pitiful~" Naoki Nagayama excused a certain director for a moment, and then asked, "Did Akina just get off work?
"
"Well, I just came back from rehearsing the Golden Songs of the Night on the big stage. I just took a shower and lay on the bed~I thought of Naoki-san~"
Huh?...Is it an illusion? Naoki Nagayama feels like his little girlfriend is seducing him?
I must have overused my brain today to think like this. My little girlfriend is obviously a pure little sheep!
"Really? I just took a shower~ I haven't had time to think about Akina yet~"
"Huh? Naoki-san, why are you so late today?"
The voice from the microphone was very strange. Normally at this time, Naoki Nagayama would have been reading bedtime novels in bed, right?
"Because I'm creating...writing the script for the movie~and the theme song and so on."
"Is it "April Story"?" Akina Nakamori asked, "Isn't that script already written?"
"It's a new script..." Naoki Nagayama said, "A script about a detective incident..."
"Huh?! Naoki-san actually doesn't write the script of a love movie?!" Akina's voice spoke up from the microphone.
A black line appeared on Naoki Nagayama's forehead: "Akina... Do you think I can only write love stories~"
"No...but the few novels Naoki-san wrote before and the movies he made are not related to the theme of detective reasoning. So I am a little curious this time." Akina in the apartment became obviously curious.
, "What kind of story is it? Naoki-san, tell me~"
"...It's a murder incident...I won't talk about it at night~"
"Silly tape!" Akina felt like she was wrapped in the quilt and not afraid of anything, "I want to know! Ounei should~"
"..."
What can I do? My girlfriend is begging~ Naoki Nagayama could only talk to Akina on the phone.
........
The next day. Photo studio.
"Naoki-san, didn't you sleep well yesterday? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki strangely.
"Ah, I really didn't sleep well..." Nagayama Naoki smiled bitterly. He was on the phone with Akina until two o'clock in the morning yesterday, and he had to come to the studio again this morning...
Itou Shuichi laughed at the side: "Haha, Naoki-san, young people still need to know how to exercise restraint!"
"..."
Forget it, ignore this LSP!
Yoshimura Otomo still said: "It doesn't matter now, but when I go to the Film Academy Awards Ceremony in the afternoon, I still need to put on a little makeup and let Reina-san help me~"
"Hey...Okay~"
After chatting for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou walked into the editing room again. The MV editing work that started yesterday is still in full swing.
"I called Mr. Machida Yaichi yesterday about the junior students coming for internship." Itou Xiu kept his hands on his hands, but turned his head and said to Naoki Nagayama, "They want it, the teacher said they want to choose
Just for a moment, you can come over next Monday at the most."
"Are you here?" Naoki Nagayama looked at this small editing room. The space was not even big enough.
"Of course not. Let them study here for a while before returning to school to make production." Shuichi Yido said, "I rented an operation classroom from the teacher..."
"Is that so? Can the machine there be used?"
"The editing itself is relatively simple, there is no problem." Itou Shuichi said, and then faced the people around him, "Kijima-kun, and everyone else, you will be the instructors from now on, and you will teach the intern college students, and then you will also have to take turns.
Tokyo University of the Arts supervised their editing!”
"Hi!" X3
The editing of the MV is actually quite simple once you become proficient in it. Based on finding similar materials, use an editing machine to roughly edit them, and then use a subtitle machine to add the lyrics to the screen. When copying, the subtitles of the short film will be added.
Already....
Since everything is done by hand, it is actually very time-consuming. Even for a skilled worker, it takes at least an hour or more to make a MV.
Nagayama Naoki is not a skilled worker, so he only completed the production of one MV in the whole morning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After putting the master tape of the video tape away, Nagayama Naoki raised his head and stretched: "It's really troublesome~ There are almost 500 songs~"
Itou Shuichi smiled and said: "Fortunately it was not five years ago... At that time, we didn't even have these tools, let alone hand-made film movies with subtitles frame by frame."
"At that time... we didn't even have a karaoke machine!"
Nagayama Naoki sighed. You must know that the current technological development is changing day by day. Sometimes he feels that it has reached the level of the 20th century.
Itou Shuichi also put down the video tape in his hand: "Let's not talk about it for now, Naoki-san, we are going to the Academy Awards this afternoon. Do you want to change clothes?"
"No way..." Naoki Nagayama looked at what he was wearing, the cashmere sweater outside the white shirt. When the time came, he would take off the cashmere sweater and add a slim-fitting suit, which would make it very formal.
"It's so convenient to be handsome..." Itou Shuichi shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I still have to change. See you in the afternoon."
"Hi...."
In the studio, I had a work lunch with other people from the company, and after chatting and bonding, I waited for the arrival of makeup artist Mayu Rena.
"It's surprising that Naoki-san also needs make-up~" Mayu Rena said with a smile. Naoki Nagayama is obviously handsome and good-looking, so he looks very photogenic even without make-up.
"I didn't sleep well yesterday~" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "I just need to cover the dark circles under my eyes."
"Haha, that's very convenient." Mayu Rena took out the powder from her cosmetic bag, then put a little powder on it and patted it, "OK! Naoki-san really only needs a simple treatment~"
"..." It always felt like she was describing the ingredients.
.........
The Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony will be held in the afternoon and will be broadcast live nationwide.
Naoki Nagayama was not an award guest this year, so he only briefly participated in the rehearsal of the award-receiving process, and everything else was organized by the organizer.
To put it simply, he only needs to show up at the award ceremony today and get the award.
Arriving at the Prince Hotel in Tokyo again, Naoki Nagayama was no longer surprised. He always felt that this was the only banquet venue in Tokyo.
He found his seat according to his own seating chart, at a round table in the front row...but this table was already occupied by many people.
"Naoki-san, you're a little late." Itou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki greeted, "Come, let me introduce to you, this is..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the middle-aged man with a fierce and rugged face next to him and exclaimed in a low voice: "Kitano Takeshi...san?"
"Oh? Do you know each other?" Yi Tang Xiuyi was a little surprised.
"No, I don't know him." Kitano Takeshi was sarcastic when talking about Mancai, but in normal times it was normal, "But now I know him! I am Kitano Takeshi."
"First time we meet, I am Naoki Nagayama."
Facing Kitano Takeshi, Nagayama Naoki felt a subtle sense of restraint, because he had snatched the other's future "That Summer, Sea of Tranquility". At this time, it was like a third party facing someone else's husband...
..
"I have read a lot of Mr. Naoki's books, and "The Garden of Summer" is very touching." Takeshi Kitano said very familiarly, "I think if I get old, I might be like that old man.
, mean, withdrawn, slovenly...the last person to die."
"This...then let's do it differently..." Nagayama Naoki didn't know how to reply.
"Haha, Mr. Naoki...forget it, Naoki-san's words are very interesting." Takeshi Kitano didn't know what was going on. He looked very happy and immediately closed the distance. "Others would say no.
No such comfort..."
"...No..." Naoki Nagayama recalled what this guy would look like in the future, "Kitano-san is the type who will get divorced in his seventies or eighties and scold the Prime Minister on TV.
.....”
"Hahaha! You're kidding!" Takeshi Kitano was amused by Nagayama Naoki's words. He didn't expect that the guy opposite him was so funny.
Itou Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama and Takeshi Kitano, they went from complete strangers to chatting and joking like old friends... He always felt as if he had turned into a used person after the introduction.
tools were thrown away.
.......
As the two chatted, more and more people came to the venue, and soon, under the auspices of Ayako Sawada and Franky Sakai, the award ceremony of the 7th Japan Film Academy Awards officially began.
At Franky Sakai's signal, the actors nominated for Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actor, and Best Newcomer came over from the red carpet.
Ogata Fist, Watase Tsunehiko... Koyanagi Rumiko, Tanaka Yuko, Natsume Masako, Ikegami Yomiko... artists who they didn't know each other walked past, and even Takeshi Kitano came on stage.
once.
He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Christmas on the Field."
Naoki Nagayama noticed Akina Nakamori, who put on a dark evening dress this time, looking very simple and dignified.
And there is absolutely no feeling of staying up late last night on a young face. Are these young people? Even if they stay up late, nothing will happen the next day...
Nagayama Naoki suddenly panicked. Could it be that his body was really weak?
...
The Academy Awards are announced with a grand prize and a small prize, and each nominee must go to the stage for an interview.
The first one is of course the Best Newcomer Award. There are no nominations for this award, all winners are winners. The winners such as Akina Nakamori, Tomoyo Harada, and Sendoko Sendoko were invited to the stage, and then the award presenters started asking:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Akina-chan, it's your first time filming a movie, isn't it difficult?"
As the most popular idol, of course I have to ask her first.
Akina Nakamori thought for a moment: "Actually, it didn't feel too difficult... I just listened to the director, Naoki-san... The director would be very accurate when directing, so it didn't feel very difficult."
"?" The award presenter had a strange expression on his face. Why does this newcomer feel a little stunned? At this time, I shouldn't say that the first filming was very hard. I worked hard. However, I overcame various difficulties in order to perform better and will perform more in the future.
ok?
At this time, the camera showed Naoki Nagayama, and he could only smile calmly and wave to the camera in front of him.
I felt that this newcomer was a little different, but the award presenter continued to ask, "Do you feel schizophrenic when you have to play three roles at the same time?"
"This..." Akina Nakamori hesitated for a moment, and finally replied, "Because the three characters were shot at different times, and only one kind of character was shot in each time period, so there is no feeling of schizophrenia...
..”
The award presenter was so confused by such a big truth that he couldn't speak. What happened to this new actor?
Don’t you even know how to act miserably? This is the basic quality of an actor, right?
The camera once again showed Naoki Nagayama... He could only continue to wave with a stiff face...
"Hehehe~ European model series~" Nagayama Naoki heard Kitano Takeshi's laughter next to him.
When the award presenters turned around and asked the other finalists, their answers finally became normal:
"I am very nervous to stand on this stage for the first time..." "I am very honored to receive this nomination!" "I will work hard to improve my acting skills and give everyone a better performance."
The atmosphere on the awards stage was harmonious~~~
After the interview, when delivering her acceptance speech, Akina Nakamori held the microphone tightly, her eyes watering:
"I feel very honored to receive this award! At the same time, I am very happy... As a newcomer, there are still many things I don't understand... But in my subsequent attempts..."
Nagayama Naoki curled his lips, this is Kenyin's public relations draft, it feels completely different from before... But the expression with tears in his eyes is very powerful, my Akina-chan's acting skills are very skillful!
Huh? Wait... When we went out to play a few times before, Nakamori Akina looked pitiful with tears in her eyes. Could it be all because of her acting skills?!
But at this time, Itou Shuichi next to him was muttering:
"What's going on? Why didn't you promote the movie at the end of your acceptance speech? Isn't it Naoki-san's "April Story"?"
Nagayama Naoki replied: "Maybe it was requested by the office."
"What a great opportunity, live broadcast across the country! One less chance to be exposed!"
Itou Shuichi was aggrieved, but he soon had a chance!
According to the words of host Ayako Sawada, the next award to be announced is the topic award. There is also no nomination and the award will be won directly.
"The most talked about film award at this year's Academy Awards is the film - "The Bell"! The most talked about actor award - the winning actor, Takeshi Kitano!"
The spotlight hit Naoki Nagayama's table, and it happened to be the people on both sides of him...
Sawada Ayako said with a smile: "Sure enough, that table was very topical today!"
As the most frightening horror movie at the end of this year, "The Ring" naturally attracts more topics than other movies. After all, it has added a general to the world of Japanese ghosts and gods!
From now on, the master of demons and demons who leads the Night Parade of Hundred Demons may become Miss Sadako!
Ayako Sawada visited Shuichi Itou: "Director Itou, were there any abnormalities during the filming of "The Ring"? Supernatural incidents?"
"Ah... Speaking of which, the courtyard during the shooting was indeed very eerie!" Itou Shuichi said, "I heard that the courtyard was an ancient battlefield, and after we completed the shooting, interested buyers went to experience it.
, they all say there is a ghost! Now it has become a veritable haunted house..."
Nagayama Naoki underneath smiled, now no one dares to buy that courtyard building...
Sawada Ayako's eyes lit up when she heard this. This kind of weird and strange story was already very touching, but this was a live broadcast, so she still needed to control the scene and couldn't talk too much.
Turning to Kitano Takeshi next to him: "Kitano-san, what do you think of winning the Most Topic Actor Award?"
"Haha." Takeshi Kitano smiled, and then suddenly made the same expression as in the video, with a weird smile on his face and said to the camera, "Merry Christmas!"
"..." Sawada Ayako, who was not used to Kitano Takeshi's special style, didn't know how to continue answering the conversation for a moment. She could only chat for a few words without embarrassment, and then started the final
The awards ceremony was held and the trophies and certificates were handed over to Itou Shuichi and Kitano Takeshi:
"Director Yi Tang, congratulations on winning the Most Topic Film Award. Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"
Itou Shuichi stood in front of the microphone:
"I am honored to receive this award today. I originally thought that horror films would not win any awards..."
"However, since it has attracted everyone's attention, please look forward to the sequel of "The Ring", which will be released on Halloween this year!
In addition, Shuyu Pictures' latest film "Love Is Still Raining" directed by me, starring Takewaki Muga and Kohira Maki Kaoru, is in production and will be released this summer. Please support me!"
The conversation was so fast and urgent that the host Ayako Sawada didn't even have a chance to interrupt!
There was constant buzzing and applause in the audience, and Naoki Nagayama heard words such as "Awesome!" "I will definitely pay attention!" "Looking forward to..." and many other words such as "Shameless" and "How could this be done?"
.
In short, Itou Shuichi has made a good start!
The upcoming acceptance speech for the 7th Japan Film Academy Awards will probably be very exciting!
