599, let the police and gangsters sing karaoke together??
...
Musashino University in Tokyo is located in Shinmachi, West Tokyo, next to Musashino Central Park.
Or it can be said that this is the university town of Musashino University. Because the university is very large, plus Musashino Municipal Elementary School, Musashino Municipal Junior High School, and nursery school, etc., this area is closely related to Bunkyo Ward in Tokyo.
Pretty much, the teaching atmosphere is very strong.
But Naoki Nagayama already knew this when he was filming "Boys Over Flowers". So when I came here this time, I felt familiar.
"This cherry blossom must be more than ten years old~" Naoki Nagayama patted the cherry blossom tree next to a house and sighed, "It has already sprouted~"
"Naoki-san said it was like a seed sprouting~" Itou Shuichi complained next to him, then looked at the peaceful atmosphere around him and said, "It's very quiet here."
"Either go to work or go to school...who has free time like us~" Nagayama Naoki and him continued to walk on the gentle slope, looking at the surrounding scenery and buildings from time to time, "Ah,
Found...the shrine."
"?" Itou Shuichi looked at a small shrine next to him, a little confused, "Is there a shrine in Naoki-san's movie?"
"Ah, no, I want to shoot a scene where the bride is wearing white clothes..." Naoki Nagayama gestured at the distance with his hand, "From this angle, it's definitely OK."
"It always feels like you've already made the movie in your head...and now you're just finding the real scene bit by bit."
Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki and said with great envy. For a director, this is the rarest talent.
"Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, he was very close to the truth~
The two men were wandering casually on the streets of the university campus, feeling quite like college students walking on the street. When they walked to Musashino Central Park, the large grassland suddenly opened up the mood.
"Yes, this is one of the scenery!"
Itou Shuichi asked: "Naoki-san, do you plan to start filming as soon as possible?"
"Well, the other clips are ready...but there are some particularly important shots that can't be shot until the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."
"The cherry blossoms are in full bloom? It's only a week away. Are they in time?"
“I still have to take pictures even if I don’t have time!”
In Nagayama Naoki's mind, the heroine Uzuki Yuno stood under the cherry blossom tree and shook off the petals from her clothes when she was seeing off the moving company workers. Such a beautiful and innocent scene seemed not to be in the real world.
Same.
"We want bright sunshine, light pink tones, and cherry blossoms falling like snow!"
Nagayama Naoki murmured to himself, making Itou Shuichi next to him feel like he was possessed!
"Hey, hey, are you possessed by a monster?!" Itou Shuichi patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder, "Would you like to go to the shrine to drive away the evil spirit?"
"You are the one who wants to exorcise evil spirits!" Nagayama Naoki retorted.
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, causing the evergreen shrubs and grass on the ground to sway slightly. A few dead leaves rolled past the eyes, bringing with them a faint smoke and dust. There was a feeling of loneliness on the empty path.
Nagayama Naoki took a breath and felt the atmosphere and said, "Shuichi-san, the box office of this movie may not be that high!"
"..."
Itou Shuichi was suddenly stunned. This was the first time Naoki Nagayama said that a movie he made might not have a box office.
I was speechless for a moment, but after a few seconds, Yi Tang Shuichi forcibly redeemed himself:
"Haha, do we make movies just for the box office?!"
"Is not it?"
"My directors want to use movies to express their hearts!"
Seeing his friend next to him clumsily trying to comfort himself, Nagayama Naoki patted his shoulder: "Shuichi-san, don't worry, the box office is about 1 billion even if it's not high!"
"..."
Please apologize to the millions of directors in Japan who can only beg for more than 100 million in box office! Explain to them what it means that the box office is not that high!!!
Itou Shuichi, whose eyes twitched, was just thinking about making a complaint when he saw Naoki Nagayama had turned around and continued walking.
"Naoki-san, what do you think the box office performance of "Love Will End Like the Rain" will be?"
"I think there should be 560 million~"
"Huh?! It's actually lower than "April Story"?!" Itou Shuichi was a little annoyed, "Why?"
"Needless to say, Shuichi-san, your first love, how can it compare to my secret love!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Don't you know that secret love is the most beautiful emotion?"
"...You guy, please apologize to my first love!"
Smiling while wandering around the streets and alleys of Musashino, Nagayama Naoki had already found a slope with benches, a university cafeteria, a shop selling clothes, and an old bookstore full of story-telling atmosphere.
"It's almost...I'll start shooting in a few days." Naoki Nagayama said, "Where's Shuichi-san?"
"My movie is scheduled to be released from April to June, and the release date is July. There is still a long time!" Itou Shuichi said.
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while: "In the first half of the year, there are two youth movies, and the box office performance will not be very good. In the second half of the year, it will be a commercial film to make money! Is Shuichi-san already preparing for "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2"?
"
"Hi, the script is already in production."
In previous chats, Naoki Nagayama roughly talked about the direction of the script for the sequel, but of course he didn’t write it himself this time. As the president of the Shuyou Group, it is impossible to do everything personally. Naturally, there are dedicated people for these matters.
Be responsible.
Itou Shuichi continued: "This time during the filming of "High School 2", I want to give more to Masataka-kun, because he is younger after all."
"Huh? If you put it this way, are Shuichi-san ready to invest more in "Midnight Bell 2"?" Nagayama Naoki asked curiously.

"?"
"By the end of the year, the newly recruited directors from Tree Friends Pictures should have adapted to the rhythm of Tree Friends. It's time for them to get started."
One important thing for the reorganized Shuyou Group is the cultivation of new generations in the system. Since the beginning of the year, it has been recruiting new people.
In the opinion of the three leaders, Shuyou must get rid of the habit of relying on Naoki Nagayama for all its revenue and become a large enterprise that can truly rely on its own continuous growth.
........
After having a meal in the university cafeteria, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou separated.
Itou Shuichi went to Tokyo University of the Arts to see if his junior students were doing a good job, if they could find one or two good seedlings, etc. As for Nagayama Naoki, he drove to Harajuku, which was under construction.
The place.
The three-story building in Harajuku has changed a lot. At least from the outside, it no longer has the old-fashioned feel of the past. The simple and trendy exterior wall stands out among the surrounding buildings. It is also on the street corner, which is more attractive.
Out of sight.
Walking into the fence, a group of workers were busy working. Nagayama Naoki saw the figure of Sakata Naoya, and next to him, Nagayama Kaede, who looked broad and round...
"Brother Feng? Why are you here?" Nagayama Naoki asked in surprise.
"Ah, it's Naoki..." Yongshan Feng turned around and saw his cousin, "I went to the karaoke machine manufacturer in the morning to check on the progress... I'll come to the construction site in the afternoon to take a look.
look."
Naoya Sakata also came out after seeing Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, the exterior wall has been completed, and the wires are being laid, as well as the interior decoration."
"Yeah, it's pretty quick."
Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Isn't Honma-san not here today?"
"The teacher went to Kyoto, and the courtyard there was officially filled with live water today, so the teacher wanted to see if there was any construction failure in place." Naoya Sakata said, "Then the koi will be released... After a month or two, the koi will be released.
Only then can we see whether it can survive for a long time.”
"That's it..."
The garden in Kyoto is now roughly completed. All that remains is the past few months of stocking and maintenance to see if there will be any problems with the garden in the natural wind and rain.
We guarantee that it will be in perfect condition when delivered.
Yongshan Kaede interrupted at this time: "Naoki, the KTV project is going very smoothly. Just now Sakata-san said that it will be very quick after the wires are laid. The decoration will only take about a week or two. It can be opened in April."
"Well, our MV is already being produced. After the karaoke machine is installed, we can invite some friends to experience it in advance..." Naoki Nagayama thought of the juniors and girls who were making the MV.
, decided to squeeze it again.
The procedures related to the opening are naturally very troublesome, but they are all handled by the General Affairs Department. Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama only need to consider the opening activities and subsequent promotion.
Sakata Naoya interjected: "Naoki-san, I have something to remind you. Recently, a few guys who don't look like good people came to the construction site to inquire..."
"Not like a good person?"
"Yakuza~" Naoya Sakata said more clearly.
"Ah, that's it." Nagayama Naoki instantly understood that this was an early visit and a protection fee would be charged!
Yongshan Feng's face was very ugly: "What a shame! How dare these guys come to collect my protection fee? Which society are they from?"
"It's a group of young people, they seem to be bosozoku." Naoya Sakata said, "They all came in the evening, and their clothes had the words "Noisy and Classy", "Night Dew Death Bitterness" and "Gaara Wuyong" on their clothes.
Words like "爱死天流あいしてる" and "爱死流爱そうしそうあい"..."
"Bosozoku, they are not considered a club, are they? They actually collected the protection fee?" Nagayama Naoki was curious.
"...The boundaries are not so clear." Seeing Nagayama Naoki's confused look, Nagayama Kaede explained, "Sometimes they are subordinates of the club, like a youth training camp...
.Sometimes it’s small groups of individuals.”
This area of Harajuku is very close to the Imperial Palace and municipal offices, and there are currently no big groups occupying this area. Therefore, the so-called bosozoku are probably just fighting in small groups.
"No, these guys, I have to educate them properly! Wait until I find someone to challenge them!"
Nagayama Kaede felt that he was offended by the young Yakuza, and his pride as the heir of the third generation of the Kiyomizu Yamaguchi group suddenly emerged, and he wanted to find his younger brother for a duel before the Yakuza.
"How dare someone come to plant a flag on my territory?!"
"...Brother Feng, we are a regular business...not planting flags to occupy territory." Nagayama Naoki was speechless, "Also, in business, you need to be harmonious to make money, and you can't fight or kill.
....”
"this....."
Kaede Nagayama, who already knew something about Tokyo, felt helpless for a moment, "What do you think we should do, Naoki? Should we ask the Yamaguchi-gumi team in Tokyo to negotiate?"
"Ha, it's not that complicated...it's just a bunch of gangsters, just let them know we can't afford to offend them."
Nagayama Naoki smiled, "Brother Feng, speaking of which, my grandfather and uncle haven't come to Tokyo to see what KTV is like, right?"
"right...."
"I'm going back in March, so I'd like to invite them to Tokyo to have some fun!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Come and attend the opening ceremony of the KTV."
"Huh?" Nagayama Kaede twitched a little, "But with a level like my grandfather, if he comes to Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department will be nervous!"
"nervous?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, every year the Yamaguchi-gumi's Kobe rally makes the Kobe Metropolitan Police Department very nervous. Police cars escort, police monitor, police officers maintain order, etc.
..." Kaede Nagayama said, "If my grandfather came to Tokyo, there would be police who would be nervous."
"If we bring more people, we will still be monitored!"
Ah, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is also very afraid of the underworld making any big moves!
"Hahaha, we are not a club action, it's just that my grandson opened a store in Tokyo, and my grandfather came to take a look..." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Silly tape, if the police don't
Don’t worry, let the police come in and have fun together on the opening day..."
"..." Let the police and gangsters sing karaoke together??
Yong Shanfeng looked at his cousin and felt that he must have lost his mind.
"It doesn't matter, my grandfather is a good citizen anyway, right? It's normal to come to a nightclub, right~"
"...."
The boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi Shizuoka Ward is actually a good citizen? Listen to what others say.
Besides, Hayato Nagayama is over 80 years old. How can you let such an old man come to a nightclub?!
.......
I ran around Harajuku with Brother Kaede, whom I met unexpectedly.
Harajuku in the 1980s was not as prosperous as it will be in the future, but there were already many shops and department stores along the streets.
Perhaps it’s because there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going between the three major parks. Some come for an outing, some come to worship, and some come to watch games. After all, the National Stadium, Tokyo Stadium and Jingu Second Stadium are all there.
here.
The bustling commercial street is full of souvenir shops and snack bars. Naoki Nagayama also picked up a skewer of squid and ate it while walking.
"Brother Feng, every inch of land here will definitely be valuable from now on!"
Yongshan Feng didn't care. After all, he had such a large piece of land, and the Qingshui Mountain Pass Group relied on protection fees, not rent: "Yes, if you collect protection fees here, you will definitely make a lot of money!"
"..."
It seems that the idea of letting Brother Feng buy a house needs to be put aside.
"By the way, do you still want to participate in the filming of Brother Kaede's "Hot Blood High School 2"?" Since Nagayama Kaede's main focus this year is on operating KTV and other nightclubs, Nagayama Naoki asked.
"A sequel..." Kaede Nagayama paused, "Will Tamao Serizawa lose?"
"Tamao Serizawa has graduated, and then he opened a hair salon and cut people's hair every day..." Naoki Nagayama said a joke from "I Am Big Brother" and looked at his cousin's tangled face like a mischief.
face.
"It's actually a development salon..."
"Yes, people always have to grow up!"
"...Can't he open a nightclub or something?"
Brother Maple’s words reminded Nagayama Naoki that with so many nightclub scenes in the movie... wouldn’t it be a good way to promote a new business like KTV?!
Advertising costs are saved!
"Since it's Brother Kaede's request, then Tamao Serizawa should open a KTV!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "How about it, Brother Feng, do you want to play his true self?!"
