620, April, Huaxin Naoki announced her relationship?!
...
As April approaches, cherry blossoms have officially entered their most prosperous season. Falling petals can be seen everywhere in Tokyo, and the entire city seems to be covered in a layer of pink, just like the scene in the comics.
At the same time, Yoshie Kashiwahara's "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~ (Sakura Sakura Wants to See You)" was once again echoing in record stores.
This song will come back to people's attention as the cherry blossoms bloom every year... At that time, it was given directly to Yoshie Kashiwahara. Philips Records made a lot of money, but fortunately Naoki Nagayama's studio also had it
divided into.
And this year, record store owners seem to have a lot more choices...
In addition to Junko Ito's "桜色马うころ(When the Cherry Blossoms Are Flying)", there is actually another very, very new song.
In particular, record stores near campus like to use this song as a loop - "Sakura". It is a song that combines cherry blossoms with the farewell of going to school. The new singer's sweet voice has a sad voice. It is really
It’s so in line with the island country’s sense of cherry blossoms!
In order to promote "April Story" in advance, Shuyou Group released this song sung by Momoko Kikuchi together with the trailer of "April Story".
When the audience in front of the TV suddenly discovered such a beautiful movie trailer, they were immediately surprised.
"which movie is this?"
“It’s so beautiful!” “The song is also nice!”
"Naoki Nagayama? That guy!"
"When will it be released? Where will it be released?"
Many attracted viewers are looking for other information about "April Story", and Naoki Nagayama is also happy to reveal the information bit by bit, while keeping the audience's interest, while stepping up preparations for the release.
And today, he came to Iwanami Cinema, where the preview screening of "April Story" was about to be held.
At the entrance, which looks like a subway entrance, there is a movie poster for "April Story". Following the slightly gray corridor to the ticket gate, you can see a large preview screening banner.
Naturally, Nagayama Naoki came here early and was chatting with the owner of Iwanami Cinema, Iwanami Jiro.
Iwanami Jiro is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Although the main business of the Iwanami family is actually bookstores, this theater has a certain relationship with Toho Towa, so even if it is not very profitable, it will not be closed.
"Naoki-san, is this movie only one hour long?" Iwanami Jiro asked curiously, "Why is it so different from the previous movies?"
"Because the best part has already been filmed. If it is too long, it will look a bit bloated..."
Nagayama Naoki explained that this movie is a snapshot of youth. There is a large amount of blank space before the heroine Uzuki comes to Tokyo and after she meets her crush, just to give the audience room to imagine.
"That's really exciting." Iwanami Jiro smiled, "By the way, how many people did Naoki-san invite to watch today?"
"Ah... In addition to people from the media, there are only some friends in the film industry... and some other friends." Naoki Nagayama actually invited Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda over this time.
This movie is a bit different from the current movie trends, and he wanted the two friends to experience it.
While the two were talking, waves of people came in from the entrance. Although Naoki Nagayama did not specifically promote the preview, many people in the film industry came here after hearing that it was his movie.
Naoki Nagayama could only act like a greeter, bowing and saying hello to the audience who came.
"Naoki-san! Long time no see~"
Suddenly, a familiar person appeared in front of me. Freelance reporter Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was here again.
After the blue ribbon award, he temporarily put aside his obsession with Naoki Nagayama. However, someone actually photographed him in a nightclub some time ago, and he was related to the underworld. This suddenly made him rekindle his obsession with Naoki Nagayama.
read.
So when he heard that Naoki Nagayama had a new movie, he rushed over immediately.
"Ah...you are...Matsuzawa Shinnosuke-san!" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment before remembering his name, "Long time no see! I haven't seen you much in the entertainment industry recently~ Everything is still there
Is everything okay?"
Regarding this reporter, Naoki Nagayama only remembered that his questions were very sharp, and he had followed Shuyou very much since the first movie, and he was considered an acquaintance~
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke didn't expect Naoki Nagayama to say hello so enthusiastically, and he was even touched for a moment... He considered himself Naoki Nagayama's mortal enemy!
But he quickly shook his head to dispel his thoughts. All of this was just a disguise on the surface of Naoki Nagayama. He didn't believe that such a carefree guy with a gang background could be so harmless on the surface!
"Haha, I have been busy with other things recently, but I heard that Naoki-san has a new movie, so I came over right away!"
"Thank you so much~ It is the support of media friends like Shinosuke-san that gives me the motivation to continue making movies..."
Nagayama Naoki's words in the scene were very smooth, and it was hard to find any flaws. This made Matsuzawa Shinnosuke feel more and more that this guy is a deep-thinking guy, he must be in his early twenties!!!
At this moment, two girls suddenly came to the entrance, one of whom was wearing a very wide hat.
After Naoki Nagayama saw it, he nodded to Matsuzawa Shinnosuke and hurriedly greeted him.
"Naoki-san!" Akina Nakamori approached with a smile on her face, "I'm coming~"
"Akina~ and Maki-chan...are you having a smooth journey?"
Naturally, I wanted Akina to see this test screening as soon as possible.
"Hey, I came directly from the magazine." Akina Nakamori looked very happy at her boyfriend in front of her, and her tone was very brisk, "No one noticed on the way!"
"That's really awesome~"
My little girlfriend is already very famous in Japan, at least almost all young people know her.
It was inconvenient to say anything at the entrance, so Naoki Nagayama led the two people directly into the screening room and sat in the second row so that they could watch the movie together later.
What he didn't know was that the intimate interaction between the two was clearly seen by a pair of eyes in the dark.
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke saw it, and it seemed that the relationship between Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina was much closer than everyone thought!!
........
Naoki Nagayama returned to the entrance and continued to welcome people from all walks of life. Some of them he didn't know, and some were just ordinary movie lovers, but he expressed his sincere thanks to all of them...
With the arrival of directors in the industry such as Kobayashi Masaki and Shinoda Masahiro, the screening time of "April Story" has also arrived.
Naoki Nagayama came in last and sat in the second row, right next to Akina Nakamori.
The lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and as soft music played, a moving truck slowly drove over from the street filled with cherry blossoms.
A lot of cherry blossoms fell on the high-end wedding car next to the road, and the driver had to take out a duster to gently sweep them away. On the other side of the road, a wedding party was slowly approaching, and the bride dressed in white
Under the slowly falling cherry blossoms, I walked through the middle of the road with a smile...
Both the lens and the composition are full of quiet beauty, bringing people directly into April, the season of cherry blossoms~
Road, cherry blossoms, bride, Bai Wugou... The moment the audience in the screening room saw this shot, they felt an impact called "aesthetic".
Nagayama Naoki felt his little girlfriend next to him gently hold his hand.
The next shot transition was very smooth, and the whole picture was also very soft. When Momoko Kikuchi's front appeared on the big screen for the first time, Naoki Nagayama heard some people whispering...
After the busy moving process, when Momo Kikuchi, wearing a light blue sweatshirt, shook a bunch of flower petals from her pocket, this beautiful shot was deeply remembered by the audience present.
"April Story" is a quiet movie with not many lines and the heroine is also an introvert.
However, the long shots, clever editing, and the rich lens language of the film prevent the entire film from looking pale and at the same time vividly demonstrate the shyness and innocence of a female college student who has just stepped into Tokyo.
When seeing the lovers kissing on the bench, the heroine was so frightened that she forgot her bicycle and had to go back to get it. The audience laughed out loud.
There is pure music in the background throughout the movie, and as the plot develops, it seems to indicate the heroine's mood.
Most of the time it is soothing, with a relaxed feeling, but when the heroine Yuno Uzuki meets her crush Yamazaki-senpai, it starts to become a lot more urgent.
Yuno Uzuki's emotions are restrained and sensitive, and it wasn't until that sudden rainstorm that he contributed the only emotionally charged scene in the entire movie.
Under the heavy rain, Yuno Uzuki looked at Yamazaki-senpai who was looking for an umbrella for him, and couldn't help but said:
"Senior, are you still playing in a band?"
"No...but how did you know?"
"Because...because senior is very famous!"
"Eh? You're lying, right?"
"Yes to me!"
Wet raindrops flowed down her hair and onto her face, making Yuno Uzuki's youthful and charming cheeks look a little embarrassed, but the emotions in her heart were encouraged by the sound of rain around her.
Amidst the sound of wind and rain, she condensed her secret love for Yamazaki-senpai into a few words.
The red umbrella looks so vivid in the cold picture, just like the secret love in the memory of youth.
This is a movie about secret love, but it doesn’t make the love clear until the end. It’s just Uzuki Yuno hiding under the eaves, looking into the distance in the rain, as if he is staring at a happy future~
........
The one-hour movie seemed to end very quickly, and the audience was not actually very excited to discuss it, but the more they thought about it, the more scenes emerged in their minds.
It was as if I just drank a refreshing and sweet cocktail at the bar. I didn't feel anything at the time, but after walking out of the bar, I felt dizzy.
"Naoki-san, is this "April Story" a commemoration of your youth?!" During the subsequent media interview, a reporter asked, "You came to Tokyo because you had a crush on someone.
Is that?!"
This guy definitely means something!
Nagayama Naoki smiled, he couldn't get rid of the fact that he was Yamaguchi Momoe's biggest fan~
So he avoided answering:
"The so-called secret love is a beautiful emotion that all teenagers have had, but some people express it bravely, while some people keep it in their hearts... As a director, I am fortunate to express this emotion
It’s just shown on the big screen.”
The host handed the microphone to the next person. Unexpectedly, it was Shinnosuke Matsuzawa. He asked with a smile on his face:
"Naoki-san, the protagonist of this movie is sensitive and introverted, and is very restrained in his emotions... It seems to be a little inconsistent with your style, the director..."
"Did you encounter any difficulties while filming?"
Doesn’t match me? Does it mean that I am very open to feelings? Nagayama Naoki complained in his heart. His image in the eyes of the outside world seems to be not very good... But since it is asked, I still have to explain it.
"Ahem!" He coughed tactically, "Shinosuke-san, don't be joking. Those other scandals are just the media's gossip. I am very serious about my current relationship!"
"Oh? Who is Naoki-san dating? Can you tell us who he is?" "Inside or outside the circle?" "Have you ever collaborated?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How long have you been dating?" "Do you have any plans to get married?"
Nagayama Naoki's answer immediately aroused the interest of many reporters. The tidbits about the great director are more eye-catching than the traditional movie reports. Even without a microphone, he still asked questions enthusiastically.
And Matsuzawa Shinnosuke asked provocatively: "Did you also come to the preview today?"
As he spoke, he turned around and looked around~
Fortunately, Akina had quietly left with the audience at this time, otherwise she would have been exposed under the glare of so many reporters!
Nagayama Naoki was asked this time and had to answer:
"Hi, I am indeed in a relationship at the moment~"
"Can you please tell me who it is?" "Is he in the circle?" "How is your relationship now?" "Are you living together?" "Do you have any plans to get married?" "When will you have a child? How many?"
.......
The reporters became more and more excited, as if they were going to dig out Naoki Nagayama's other half, live together, get married and have a second child right away...
However, Naoki Nagayama did not continue to coddle them: "About my relationship, I will announce it to everyone at the appropriate time. Don't worry, we will not get married secretly..."
In fact, Nagayama Naoki is okay, but if Akina Nakamori wants to get married, she must make a statement, otherwise the fans will be turned upside down if she suddenly disappears!
"Next, please focus on the movie "April Story"!"
After talking about it many times, the reporters angrily asked about the movie.
"The biggest difficulty of this movie was actually to complete the shooting in two weeks!" Naoki Nagayama explained, "Because the cherry blossoms only bloom for about a month, so at this point, I shot them when the first cherry blossoms bloomed.
The shooting started...all the scenes of flying cherry blossoms were shot in a short time..."
Nagayama Naoki on the stage was talking about movies, but the reporters in the audience began to think about the headline of today's evening paper.
Is it better to call it "Naoki Huaxin's Secret Love", or "Surprise! Naoki Nagayama's love affair is announced!"? Or should it be called "April, Naoki Huaxin announces his relationship?!"
