Shuichi Itou's "Love Is Still Raining" was being filmed in full swing in that small restaurant. Ever since they found a way to make Takewaki Mugar look ugly, the entire crew's filming schedule has sped up.
"Ka! Okay!" Yi Tangxiu nodded and said to the actors on the scene, "This works well!"
Then the actors said again with a somewhat relieved smile: "Come on, let's save one! Thank you for your hard work!"
"..."
As we all know, directors who like to do this are usually regarded as gods by actors...
This is not the first time Itou Shuichi has done this. I don’t know when he started to awaken the director’s built-in skills. In addition to crazy NG, he also learned to keep one line, do another one, improvise, and you watch the performance.
...
The numerous skills make the crew busy and fulfilling, and the actors seem to have a direction and feel at ease (no!)~
"Ka! Very good!" Itou Shuichi was finally satisfied, "Everyone, let's take a rest!"
In short, after finally waiting for the intermission, Shuichi Itou started thinking about the next shooting scene while drinking Coke in the restaurant.
"Shuichi-san." Masataka Komori found him, "After the next one, we will go to the festival in the evening."
"Well, how are the arrangements for the festival?" Itou Shuichi asked.
"Because tomorrow is the Sanja Festival in Asakusa, it is easier to meet our request for renting a venue." Masataka Komori explained that fortunately there are orthodox programs, otherwise it would really cost a lot to prepare various stalls.
"What about the extras?"
"They were all found through professional agencies! None of them can act!" Masataka Komori said, "Only our actors will be acting. Others have been asked not to look at the camera and to ensure that they act like original tourists.
!”
Itou Shuichi kept nodding after hearing this. With an experienced and capable assistant director like Komori Masataka, the filming could go so smoothly!
"By the way, will Naoki-san come in the evening?"
"Well...when I told him before, I said I was coming to join in the fun~" Masataka Komori said, "But I didn't say when I would come."
.......
On the other side, Naoki Nagayama and two people from Fuji TV felt a little helpless after drinking coffee.
For such a good TV series as "Love Century", the other party actually refuses to accept filming and broadcasting at the same time? This... clearly does not recognize Nagayama Naoki's strength! In other words, up to now, the TV station has not accepted it.
It's just a relationship between the two parties...
"This is not possible~" Nagayama Naoki drove back to the studio, "We need to improve Shuyou's status in the TV station~"
At least the TV station must be eager to cooperate with tree friends!
"Otomo-san!" Nagayama Naoki quickly walked into the office, "You were right~"
Yoshimura Otomo was reading a magazine and laughed when he heard this: "Yeah, Fuji TV still needs to think about it."
"Sigh... I thought we could talk based on our previous friendship, but I didn't expect it was just a transaction~" Nagayama Naoki sat on his seat and spread his hands.
Yoshimura Otomo continued: "Who said that in our previous cooperation with TV stations, we always let it go after reaching it~"
"For example, "Twilight Meow", and "Newspeak Buzzword Awards"... and the two previous TV series..."
These columns, which are closely related to Shuyou, were all initiated by Shuyou Group or Naoki Nagayama. In the early days, Shuyou also tried their best to promote a series of cooperation, but in the end, they were all taken over by the TV station.
Now, only the right to make suggestions is left in the column...
Isn't this the same as a chef, who cooks food for the guests, but the restaurant gets the money he makes...but he is just a worker...
"Yes, although there is a framework agreement, it has always been Fuji TV that has taken the initiative." Naoki Nagayama sighed.
Fangcun Otomo did not continue to pour cold water: "Nao Shu-san, after all, the foundation of Shuyou Pictures is still in the film industry. In this field, our initiative has basically been established."
Shuyu Pictures' own production team and distribution team have been set up. Through Shuichi-san's relationship, even the connection with Tokyo University of the Arts has been stabilized. Next, several famous people will be cultivated through film production.
The director, obtains awards recognized by the industry, and then builds a film and television base. The foundation of a century-old film company like Shochiku is created.
Nagayama Naoki nodded, agreeing with this point.
"But... I always feel underestimated by Fuji TV..." Nagayama Naoki sighed, "Obviously there are many good variety show ideas~"
Nagayama Naoki's mind flashed back to the very famous Runningman in the future, late-night cafeterias, the life he longed for, where is daddy, talent shows... Various variety shows he had watched flashed through his mind.
I have so many good ideas, are they all useless?
Yoshimura Otomo heard this: "Naoki-san, there is more than one TV station in Japan~"
"Um?"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the calm-faced Mediterranean. Could it be that this old man had something behind his back?
"Naoki-san, some time ago I had a good relationship with the program producers of various TV stations and the ministers!"
Fangcun Dayu showed some pride on his face. After gaining confidence, he picked up his ability to make friends when he was young. Now he can be called a social butterfly at the wine table!
"If Naoki-san needs it, I can always introduce the backbone of the production bureaus of other TV stations!"
Naoki Nagayama showed admiration: "Otomo-san, you are really amazing!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hahaha, it's nothing~" Fangcun Otomo showed the hypocrisy and humility of a middle-aged man, "It's just that everyone had a good time~"
"Naoki-san, decide which TV station?"
After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama fell into deep thought. If he started asking other TV stations to invest in this drama right from the start, he might get the same rejection as Fuji TV, so he still had to build trust first.
"Let me think about it first. We can start with a variety show!"
In short, don’t even think about Fuji TV as a runningman!
.......
In the evening, Naoki Nagayama went to Sensoji Temple according to the address previously mentioned by Masataka Komori.
Because it's so close, Naoki Nagayama actually comes here often, but he doesn't really like to come here during big festivals. It's really lively, but there are too many people.
And after all, I am a celebrity now, so it would be troublesome to put on makeup for fear of being recognized.
However, today is still one day away from Sensoji Temple’s Sanja Festival. Not many people actually came, but the atmosphere in the temple has already risen. There are white flags and red paper lanterns everywhere, with incomprehensible writings.
runes.
Inflatable stalls have been set up one by one, and some stall owners have also started business. In addition to food such as takoyaki, taiyaki, and skewers, there are also small games such as goldfish fishing, water balloon fishing, and cork shooting.
Nagayama Naoki looked around and quickly found the crew where the crowd was gathered... A large number of extras had already started walking around step by step, with a normal appearance, as if they were really here to participate in the festival.
He quietly walked into the crew, blended in like an ordinary tourist, and really started to fish for goldfish...
Not long after, the stall owner looked at him with a helpless look. Four or five paper bags were torn, but he still hadn't picked up a single goldfish... Sir, please let that goldfish go.
Bar!
"Naoki-san! What are you doing!"
Itou Shuichi discovered Naoki Nagayama who was among the group performers, and yelled at him after a scene was shot.
"Didn't you see that they were fishing for goldfish..." Nagayama Naoki shrugged and nodded to other acquaintances such as Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor, "Because Shuichi-san, you are filming,
So I didn’t bother you!”
"...."
As soon as Itou Xiu walked over and saw four or five torn paper bags at his feet, as well as the helpless expression on the face of the stall owner, he couldn't help but drag Nagayama Naoki to the camera...
..He felt so embarrassed~
"Xiu Yisang, haven't you mastered the strength to catch the goldfish? If I practice for a while, I will be able to catch the fish...Besides, I haven't given you any money yet..."
"Naoki-san, stop talking, that boss is actually our extra!" Itou Shuichi sighed, "You, a director, actually played a little game on the set...and you
It’s so big!”
"...Don't we allow others to have a childlike innocence?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Besides, Shuichi-san, you don't know, in fact, after people reach middle age, many people like fishing.
Because when I was a kid, I didn’t catch the goldfish and I was unwilling to do so..."
"..."
Itou Shuichi decided not to continue discussing with this guy, otherwise he didn't know what strange things he would say.
"Since Naoki-san is here, please help direct the scenes of "Love Will Stop as the Rain"!"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Shuichi-san, I just watched your shooting. This crew has completely adapted to your shooting rhythm. Everyone performed well and the shooting went smoothly. I will step in now."
If so, it’s actually quite redundant~”
"Um..." Itou Shuichi felt like he was being praised by the teacher, "So Naoki-san came here specifically to visit the class?"
"No, it's just that I'm very free..."
"..."
Sure enough, after just saying a few words to Nagayama Naoki, I want to hit him!
After thinking for a few seconds, Itou Shuichi decided not to argue with this guy, and just said:
"Then Naoki-san, just take a look first...and stop harassing our extras~"
"Hi hi~"
Therefore, under the continued direction of Itou Shuichi, in "Love Stops Like the Rain", the heroine Tachibana likes the store manager, and is discovered by Tachibana's few good friends.
"Are we just good friends on the track and field?"
Tachibana's friend's heart-wrenching question made Tachibana, who was sensitive and entangled in his heart, not knowing how to reply, and could only look at his friend with a cold face... and watched his friend turn and leave...
"Alas... A proud person regrets his life!" Nagayama Naoki stood next to the camera, watching this scene and sighed, "Kijima-kun, are you right?"
Kijima Kyū, who usually doesn't talk much, was a bit speechless. From the very beginning, Naoki-san stood next to his camera and chattered endlessly, and pulled him to start saying some weird words...
After director Shuichi Itou shouted "Ka", the crew began to prepare for the next scene, and at this time, Kyū Kijima finally had time to speak:
"Arnold, Naoki-san... do you have something to say to me..."
"Hoho, Kijima-kun is still very clever~" Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder and pulled him aside, "Kijima-kun, do you still remember the last time you filmed "Love Letter"?"
Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't just come to see the crew filming at night. He had already proposed to Yoshimura Otomo about filming the movie "Summer of Kikujiro" in the morning, and now he naturally wanted to start creating his own team.
Kijima Kyor raised his head when he heard this: "Naoki-san, do you want to find someone to make another movie halfway through?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Halfway through the filming of the last "Midnight Bell", Naoki Nagayama was dragged to secretly film "Love Letter". Although he relied on his weak sense of presence to not be
However, when the truth was revealed in the end, he was complained about by his friend Masataka Komori and his immediate superior Shuichi Itou.
As a good friend/subordinate, you didn’t even tell us about helping Nagayama Naoki make a movie? Do you still regard me as a friend/do you still want to hang out with Shuyou?
Fortunately, his sense of presence was too low, and there was a lot of work during those days. After two days, they couldn't find Kijima Xu's person, so they forgot about the subsequent punishment...
"Yeah... around July, until the filming of "Love Stops Like the Rain" is finished." Nagayama Naoki nodded.
"After this...won't it be "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2"?" Kyū Kijima also knows about this year's filming plan.
"This is a film that was temporarily inserted, called "Summer of Kikujiro."" Naoki Nagayama explained, "As the name suggests, it is to be filmed in the summer! So now I am starting to gather the filming team!"
"Could it be..."
Kijima Xu subconsciously raised his voice, but after reacting, he quickly asked in a low voice, "Is this also a secret filming?"
"No! That's not true!" Naoki Nagayama reassured, "This was registered with the company, and it was an aboveboard and aboveboard shooting."
"Then why did you tell me quietly?" Kijima Xu was puzzled.
"Because according to the plan for the second half of the year... the people in the company's shooting team have been assigned according to the plan. If I ask Shuichi-san for people at this time, he will definitely refuse!" Naoki Nagayama said, "
But if it’s Kijima-kun, Shuichi-san probably won’t find out if I borrow you!”
"..."
Kijima Xu said that this time it was very hurt.
Nagayama Naoki said: "Kijima-kun, you will be my assistant director for "Kikujiro's Summer" this time... and you can start building your own shooting team!"
At Shuyu Pictures, currently, only Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Itou, and Masataka Komori can lead their own filming. Masataka Komori has been given the opportunity to direct "Midnight Bell 2" alone.
Among the remaining people, Naoki Nagayama is actually very optimistic about Kyū Kijima, a guy who has rich experience but has never been noticed by others. What does it matter if his low presence is low? When he has the trophy for the Best Director Award on his back in the future, he will leave.
Wherever you go, you attract attention!
"This..." Kijima was moved~
Generally speaking, there are many promotion routes for directors, but the most orthodox one is from record keeping and execution to assistant director and assistant director. Finally, you can work in the theater for seven or eight years before you can actually direct. You have accumulated considerable experience and connections, and your talents
Direct a film.
However, this is a bit difficult for Kyū Kijima. Because his sense of presence is too low, the longer he works on the crew, the harder it is to get promoted...
"How about it? Kijima-kun, do you want to come with me?" Nagayama Naoki stretched out his hand towards him, "If you agree, I will take Otomo-san's route and transfer you here."
The confusion on Kijima Xu's face flashed away, and then he held Naoki Nagayama's hand tightly: "Naoki-san, I'll do it with you!"
"Haha, that's good~"
Today's goal was finally achieved, and Nagayama Naoki felt much better.
"Kijima-kun, take a look at the good people in the filming team and have a chat with them. If possible, we will bring them all over after the filming of this movie is completed!"
"Hi! I got it!"
Kijima Xu nodded seriously. Although his presence was low, after so long, he had formed bonds with many people and made them proudly pay attention to him.
