The light a little earlier was clear and bright, just like the most beautiful youthful time in life.
Downstairs of Musashino's residence, pieces of cherry blossoms fell with the breeze, like a rain of pink petals. They fell on the lawn next to them, on the steps at the door, and on the cement in front of the building.
On the way.....
It's like the spring breeze passing by quietly, leaving a little pink mark softly.
A moving truck slowly came from a distance. On the way, it met a wedding car that was dusting the cherry blossoms on its roof. It also made way for the bride Bai Wugu who was about to get into the wedding car...
As they continued to move forward, a group of children who were crossing the road immediately avoided the slowly approaching truck until the truck finally stopped at the door of a residential building...
"Cut! Yosi~"
Nagayama Naoki shouted happily, this long shot was not only very smooth to shoot, but also from the effect point of view, it is also a rare good shot in the movie!
"Masataka-kun, you are really capable!" Naoki Nagayama happily patted the shoulder of Masataka Komori next to him.
I originally thought that the children and the bride's team would need time to prepare, so I planned to shoot tomorrow. However, I didn't expect that Komori Masataka, who is so good at execution, actually got it done in the morning!
"No, no... I also want to thank Naoki-san for providing the wedding car!" Yes, that wedding car is Nagayama Naoki's Toyota Century. "In addition, I also need to thank Kijima-kun for his hard work!"
After Komori Masataka arrived, he happened to find out that a wedding was being held at a nearby shrine, so he temporarily allowed them to attend the wedding in exchange for a big red envelope, an upgraded high-end wedding car, a professional senior photographer to videotape the whole process and produce a wedding commemorative VTR, etc.
During the parade before the wedding, I participated in this movie.
Those children were also brought to the wedding~
"Kishima-kun?" Shuichi Itou interrupted and asked.
"Yes, Kyū Kijima was in the procession of the wedding just now, the one running around taking pictures." Komori Masataka pointed at a black figure in the distance and said.
"Ah...it's him!" Itou Shuichi then remembered that this person was actually from his side.
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said: "Shuichi-san, Kijima-kun has been following the crew during the filming...you didn't recognize it?!"
Itou Shuichi scratched his head: "Is there any way...Kishima-kun has super powers..."
After saying this, several people nodded in agreement. Kijima Xu's ultra-low sense of presence does indeed feel like a superpower.
"Well... remember to give Kijima-kun a big red envelope later!" Nagayama Naoki decided not to talk about him and continued filming, "The next scene... I'll take a look.
.....Ah, moving..."
........
Wearing a light blue sweatshirt and jeans, Momo Kikuchi was already waiting in front of the door. She had her long shawl hair tied into a single ponytail, and her round cheeks were full of youthful vitality.
After adjusting the camera positions, there were three downstairs and two in the upstairs room. After explaining it to each actor, Nagayama Naoki said:
"Peach-chan, you're ready! Remember to help...but it feels like you can't help!"
"Hi!"
"Then, get on your feet and prepare...Action!"
After the director gave the order, the actors began to take action.
Three moving guys got off the truck. After confirming with Momoko Kikuchi, they began to move the furniture out of the truck in an orderly manner.
Momo Kikuchi followed Naoki Nagayama's instructions and wanted to help, but she was disliked by the three moving boys...
"Miss Yuno~ Please let us go!" "Miss Yuno~ This is very heavy, you can't move it..." "Miss Yuno..."
Yuno Uzuki, played by Momoko Kikuchi, looks eager to help but unable to do anything, as if she can't wait to show that she has grown up and become independent.
So when it moved to the end and left a small stool for the heroine to take, Yuno Uzuki's face was a little sad~
Just as he was about to walk towards the apartment upstairs, Yuno Uzuki seemed to notice something...
I looked down and saw that after running around just now, I still got something. In the pocket of the light blue sweater, I don’t know when a few cherry blossom petals fell...
I gently lifted my pocket with my hand, and the petals fell down...
"Cut!" At this moment, Naoki Nagayama suddenly shouted!
"Huh?" Momoko Kikuchi looked over with some doubts, "Naoki-san, is there anything missing?"
"Well...a few cherry blossoms won't make any sense!"
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while. Originally, in the movie, when he lifted his pocket, a large handful of petals poured out! I thought it was a director's mistake... but I didn't expect that the petals were missing.
He walked to the nearby bush, quickly collected a large handful, and stuffed it into Kikuchi Momo's pocket.
"Peach-chan, remember to use a little more force when lifting it, and open the mouth of the bag wider..." Nagayama Naoki explained, and then said to Itou Shuichi, who was currently out of work: "Shuichi-san, this
Please take a picture of this scene with a high-definition camera and add a little soft light... I think it can be used as a poster!"
"..."
The director who thought the movie scenes could be used as posters even before filming....This is the first time Ido Shuichi has seen...
Sure enough, among the flying cherry blossom petals, the girl in the light blue sweater shook the cherry blossom petals from her pocket, as if shaking out the entire spring of cherry blossoms in full bloom...
.......
"Cut!"
With Naoki Nagayama's voice, this shot was finally recorded perfectly! The crew even applauded.
Itou Shuichi sighed:
"Naoki-san...how does your brain work? The scene just now is still in my mind..."
Do I have to tell you even though I have memorized the entire movie in my mind? Naoki Nagayama snickered in his heart, but on the surface he still said calmly:
"Haha, I just saw the scene of falling cherry blossoms and felt a little bit."
Next to him, Komori Masataka seemed to really believe it. He raised his head and watched the cherry blossoms falling from the treetops, as if he wanted to feel something:
"But I can't feel anything!"
Itou Xiu patted him on the head: "Masaka-kun, stop being so stupid, Naoki-san is just lying to you!"
Then he pointed to the flying petals and said: "This is a scene that we see every year. The cherry blossoms are flying and falling one by one. How can we be so emotional!"
Naoki Nagayama actually didn't care about it. When he heard Itou Shuichi talking about one piece at a time, he even wanted to use the old joke of "one piece, two pieces, three or four pieces...it will disappear if it falls into the bushes".
But he didn't expect that following Itou Shuichi's fingers, his eyes followed the flying petals for a while, and his thoughts began to waver along with the floating cherry blossoms... Like a fishing line, it instantly connected a section of his subconscious.
memory.
"This...is this okay?"
Nagayama Naoki only had one thought, and then a moving and sad melody echoed in his mind.
It seems to remind people of the sad farewell that I had to face when I graduated...the love in my heart before I had time to express it...and the hesitation about the uncertain future...
"
...
Sakura blossoms dance and fall one by one.
揺れる思いのたけを hug きしめた(Shake and hug my thoughts)
君と春に愿いしあの梦は (The dream I made with you in spring)
I see you now (still clearly visible now~)
さくら武いsanる(Sakura blossoms are floating~)
.......
"
"Sakura" by the biology section chief....
The memories that flooded over made Nagayama Naoki's head dizzy. He took two steps back and leaned on the camera before standing still. However, his eyes were still closed and his face was pale...
"Naoki-san? What's wrong?"
Momoko Kikuchi was the first to notice something strange about Nagayama Naoki and asked with concern, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Not feeling well?" "Have you caught a cold?" "Dizziness?" "Are you hypoglycemic?"
The crew members all put forward their opinions, but at this time, Nagayama Naoki could no longer hear their questions.
I barely sorted out the memories in my mind, but the sound of music seemed to be still recalling in my ears... Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes and looked at the people around him, and said to the most familiar Shuichi Itou:
"Give me a notebook and a pen..." The voice was still a little low.
"Huh? Notebook and pen?" After hearing this request, Itou Xiuyi was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood something, and his expression suddenly brightened, "Now?!! Was it just now?!"
After saying that, he quickly shouted at the crew: "Who has a pen? And a notebook?! Get it quickly!!"
For a moment, everyone on the crew was a little at a loss. Isn't Naoki-san feeling unwell? Shouldn't he call a doctor?
Komori Masataka also reacted:
"Notebook, notebook! I have a pen here! Who has a notebook? Manuscript paper will do, too!"
Momoko Kikuchi was a little overwhelmed by the voices of the two people. She didn't know what the situation was, but she still said:
"Arnold, I have a notebook here for memorizing lines. Is it okay?"
As he said that, he took out a notebook slightly larger than the palm of his hand from the back pocket of his jeans... The yellow cover also had a cute Arale pattern printed on it...
"There should be no problem!" Shuichi Itou took it and handed the pen to Naoki Nagayama.
Then I saw Nagayama Naoki sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a small notebook spread out in one hand, and started writing with the other hand...
Itou Shuichi and Komori Masataka both came over, and sure enough they saw the music score and lyrics... and the first line was "Sakura blossoms, flying and falling one by one"...
The two looked at each other, and it was exactly what they said just now!
This guy Naoki Nagayama actually composed a song based on the conversation between the two of them just now!!!
How terrible!
.......
After seeing Naoki Nagayama immersed in writing something while the rest of the crew seemed to be relieved, Momoko Kikuchi felt very strange.
I couldn't help but asked Itou Shuichi beside me:
"Xiu Yi-san, what's going on? What happened?"
Yi Tang Xiu glanced at the little girl and patted his head:
"Ah, this is the first time for Peach-chan..."
Then he enthusiastically started to educate Kikuchi Momo: "Our Nagayama Naoki is a talented lyricist and composer, Momo-chan, you know that, right?"
"Hey, I have the title of gold medal songwriter and composer in the industry!" Of course, Momoko Kikuchi has heard about this.
"Hmm, Naoki-san is also a writer and screenwriter..." Itou Shuichi said excitedly, "In all creative activities that require inspiration, Naoki-san is an out-and-out genius! Monster!"
"However, Naoki-san has a secret that only those close to her know!"
Itou Shuichi's tone lowered, as if he wanted to whisper to Kikuchi Momoko, "That's..."
But Masataka Komori, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore:
"Naoki-san's burst of inspiration is instantaneous! In just a few minutes, he can even create two complete songs! The lyrics, music, and even styles are completely different! And when Naoki-san's inspiration bursts out, it seems that
Because you use your brain too much, you will fall into a dizzy state, similar to hypoglycemia!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Masataka Komori finished speaking like a machine gun at once, leaving not even a sentence for Itou Shuichi.
Seeing Momoko Kikuchi's expression of disbelief, Masataka Komori felt instantly relieved, as if a burden that had been accumulated for a long time was suddenly released.
However, Itou Shuichi’s face looked very unhappy!
This is work! This is ruining the place!
It was obviously me explaining to the girl that the pleasure and excitement of sharing secrets should belong to me!
Perhaps Itou Shuichi's gaze was too powerful, so Komori Masataka could only turn around in embarrassment and pretended to continue observing Naoki Nagayama...
"Todoroki?!" Momoko Kikuchi was still very doubtful. Is there really such a person in this world?
Although Itou Shuichi was filled with hatred, he still answered the newcomer girl at this time: "This is absolutely true, Naoki-san has... ah, created in front of everyone four or five times.
....”
"What kind of super power is this?! You can create endlessly!" Momoko Kikuchi looked at Naoki Nagayama who was writing on the side, as if she saw an endless mountain of gold!
Itou Shuichi explained: "It can't be so frequent. Naoki-san said that his inspiration bursts very irregularly... and he doesn't know when he will run out of inspiration."
"That's it..." Momoko Kikuchi's round face was still doubtful.
But at this time, Shuichi Itou suddenly thought that Momoko Kikuchi didn't seem to realize that Naoki Nagayama was using her notebook!
This little girl seems to have no idea about the value of Naoki Nagayama's manuscripts... Then can he line his own pockets?...
There is only one manuscript of "Love Stops Like the Rain", which is totally not enough! Even Riko Hayano has two!
"Ahem..." When he was about to deceive the little girl, Itou Shuichi was still a little ashamed, but he was immediately covered by his shamelessness, and a kind smile appeared on his face, "Peach-chan? Yours?"
How much does a notebook cost?”
"Hey, I just bought it in a small store, it didn't cost much..." Momoko Kikuchi said honestly.
"That's it..." Yi Tangxiu nodded, "Since it's not worth much, then just give it to me and re-copy the song above."
"Huh? This..."
Momoko Kikuchi originally wanted to agree, but she decided to change her mind when she saw Komori Masataka, who was bending over to look at Naoki Nagayama, winking at her and secretly making a "ta-baa" gesture with her hand.
"Shuichi-san, this notebook is for memorizing lines. There are many lines from my first movie. It's very memorable..."
"If you want to copy it, I can copy it for you!"
"Um?"
Originally, Ido Kyūichi was confident that the little girl would agree, but he suddenly changed his mind. He turned to look at Masataka Komori suspiciously and found that he was concentrating on Naoki Nagayama writing, while everyone else around him seemed to be distracted.
I'm busy with my own business, I only look over occasionally...
Could it be that Kikuchi Momo was really reluctant? Thinking of this, Itou Shuichi would continue to persuade her.
But at this time, Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "I finally finished it..."
The pressure in his head was much lighter. As he spoke, he returned the notebook to Momoko Kikuchi.
"Thank you for the notebook, Peach Jam."
"Ah, no need at all! It's just a notebook." Momoko Kikuchi quickly waved her hand to express no need.
"Ha..." Naoki Nagayama didn't say much. Instead, he talked about the song he had just composed. "I just heard Shuichi-san's words and saw the scene of flying cherry blossoms, and I suddenly felt something."
"So this song is called "Sakura"! Although the name is a bit too common, the song is still different... I believe it will be a good song."
Naoki Nagayama was very confident because this song was the famous song of the biology department chief. He smiled and looked at Momoko Kikuchi:
"Peach Jam, just when you were filming, this song was given to you!"
"Eh?! Give it to me?" Momoko Kikuchi opened her eyes wide, and even the crew members next to her looked over.
"Yeah, don't I still owe you a debut song?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "The custom of Shuyou Group... isn't it that I am required to compose a debut song for each idol artist...
..”
"!!!"
I thought it was just a talk, but I didn't expect it to be true! Momoko Kikuchi hugged the notebook in her arms excitedly, and she was so excited.
"Arigado! Naoki-san!!"
On the other hand, Itou Shuichi was sure that the notebook could not be deceived this time, so he could only sigh.
Then he asked: "Naoki-san, is this song the theme song of "April Story"?"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Although the atmosphere is very similar, I have already composed the soundtrack for "April Story", which is pure music... The vocals in this song may seem abrupt."
"So let's follow Otomo-san's debut plan for Momoko-chan."
"Hey, I get it~" Yi Tangxiu nodded to show that he already knew.
The sudden incident caused the crew to pause the filming for a while, but it did not hinder it. After Naoki Nagayama explained the situation to the crew, and showed that he had no problem at all, he started filming "April Story"
》The filming process began to continue.
The scene of moving into Musashino, the scene of entering college for the first time, the scene of meeting in the bookstore, the scene of borrowing an umbrella in the rain... The important scenes have been shot at almost the same location, and we still need to find reshoots of the falling cherry blossoms.
scene.
Tomorrow I am going to go to the fields in the suburbs to take some shots of rural towns, and I will also ask Yutaka Ozaki to come and play the guitar in the fields...
Based on this calculation, the intense shooting process will be completely over in less than two weeks!
Next, there will be intense editing work again!
It's already mid-March, and "April Story" will definitely be released in early April!
