Freed from the harassment of reporters, Naoki Nagayama was able to concentrate on preparing for the shooting.
At this time, Kijima Kyor brought over a few guys dressed in slouchy clothes. As soon as they came over, they bowed to him and shouted:
"Naoki Aniki!"
"Um?"
Nagayama Naoki looked over, these should be the gangsters who will be managing the Summer Festival today, but why did they call me boss?
"You are..." Several people looked familiar.
"We are the people under Brother Feng!" said the leading gangster, "My name is Nishi Shuto, and their names are Sakata, Obara and Tsunoda."
"Ah, it turns out it's you."
Naoki Nagayama remembered that when his cousin Kaede Nagayama finished filming "High School", he established an artist management agency and recruited a group of bad gangsters in society as his subordinates.
These guys also played background roles in "High School"!
"Hi! Shuyou's agent sent the invitation, and we immediately agreed!" Xi Xiudou nodded and said, "It is our honor to be able to participate in Naoki Boss's movie again."
"Hahaha, it's an honor for you to come. I'll keep working hard in the future!"
"Hi!"
After a lot of encouragement, a few people were asked to prepare for the shooting. Naoki Nagayama curiously asked Kijima Kyun:
"Kijima-kun, Brother Kaede's Nagayama Agency is actually still in business?"
He always thought that after Yong Shanfeng focused on KTV, the leather bag company used to enter the entertainment industry had been discontinued.
"Hey, the business is going pretty well...Currently, most of the artists under the agency play young, delinquent, and extreme characters, and they have already gained some reputation in the entertainment industry." Kijima Kyor explained.
"Oh ho~~"
Nowadays, there are more and more yakuza movies in the entertainment industry. It is really an unexpected surprise that this small agency has developed so tenaciously.
After a few more words, the filming of the movie will officially begin.
This part of the plot is about Kikujiro taking Masao to the Summer Festival. Because of his nonsensical behavior, he angered the gangsters who managed the event and was severely beaten... In the end Masao bought him
Medicine~
"Kitano-san, remember not to be too aggressive! When you ask for a bear at the stall, be coquettish! Be coquettish!"
Nagayama Naoki reminded Kitano Takeshi during the filming that he was a little impatient today and his tone was a little heavy when acting...
Then he shouted to Takehiko Takei:
"Takei-san, you have to deal with the trouble you caused yourself! ...Keep the audience out of the set!!!"
Takei Takehiko could only lead two people and began to persuade the onlookers in a good voice.
The tourists who came here were originally just here to visit the summer festival, but they actually heard that someone was going to shoot a movie here, and it was the famous director Naoki Nagayama!
Suddenly interested, many tourists came outside the studio with their children and began to watch the filming of the movie.
Talking about normal neon people, they would also watch the excitement, but at that time it was either daytime, or they had something to do, or they were afraid of causing trouble to others... In short, there is a limit of what is enough.
But today, I came to the Summer Festival just to join in the fun!
Who can say that film shooting is not a special theme event held by the organizer!!!
Look...it's nothing~
As a result, a group of spectators gathered at the filming site...
"Kitano-san, you are a professional actor, don't worry about irrelevant people!" Nagayama Naoki reminded Kitano Takeshi to adjust his mentality. After he signaled that it was OK, he shouted through the loudspeaker,
"Everyone is in position! Prepare! Action!"
........
8 p.m., Yokohama City.
Akina Nakamori, who had worked hard to finish the concert, did not immediately want to go back to the hotel for the first time in a long time.
"Fusano-san, is there anything interesting to do in Yokohama at night?"
Although Nakamori Akina, who was sitting in the back of the car, was a little tired, she was still a young man who was curious about the new city, so she asked Akina about the house rules.
"night?"
In this era of neon small cities, there is basically no nightlife. As a so-called city that never sleeps, only Tokyo can currently meet this standard.
Except for big cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya, in most cities after midnight, there is only the light of street lights in the urban area.
However, Yokohama can be considered a big city in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and there are still lively places at least before midnight.
"At night, there are many bars and nightclubs at Yokohama Port...there are many foreigners." Akikofusa recalled the previous memories, "The Yokohama Marine Tower can overlook the night view of the entire Yokohama Port. If you are lucky, the Hikawa Maru next to it
There is a restaurant on board..."
"Then if you want to go shopping, there are many foreign shops in Motomachi Shopping Street..."
Listening to Akiko Fubo talking about places, Nakamori Akina looked at the sliding scenery outside the window, her thoughts were a little scattered. Naoki-san should be filming now?
"Akina-chan?" Ueda Maki next to her smiled and asked, "Why do you want to go out for a walk today? Didn't you always go back to the hotel to rest as soon as the concert was over? By the way...and
Did Naoki-san talk on the phone?"
Nakamori Akina's face turned red. Naturally, the secret of her phone call with Naoki Nagayama could not be hidden from the team, at least the phone bill for the next day could not be hidden~ Now this is an open secret in the team.
"Naoki-san has to shoot a night scene today, so I can't make a phone call."
Akina Nakamori explained a little bit,
"I'm not too tired after today's concert, so I thought of going out for a walk."
Akiko Fusa in the front row sighed inwardly, he is indeed an energetic young man!
"So where does Akina want to go?"
“Let’s go to the Yokohama Marine Tower and then take a stroll in the nearby port area.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although you cannot go to the bar to drink, you can also go to other nightclubs if you see them. There are many foreigners in the port area, and there must be many foreign shops.
~
"Hey, then I'll change direction~"
Akikofusa had been to Yokohama before, so he didn't even need to look at the map and drove directly towards the ocean tower that could be seen now... The light of the lighthouse was very obvious...
After arriving near the port area, a few people got out of the car and started walking around the streets.
The bars and cafes that can be seen everywhere are the characteristics of the port area. Even at night, the brightly lit glass windows and the pedestrians walking through the streets can illustrate the prosperity here.
Since the opening of Yokohama Port, countless foreigners and foreign goods have flocked to Yokohama Port... and Yokohama has become one of the most prosperous port cities in Tokyo Bay.
"Akina-chan, the lighthouse has arrived."
Akikofusa led the two of them to the Yokohama Marine Tower. In addition to being a lighthouse, this tower itself is also the observation deck of Yokohama. The special ten-sided viewing window allows it to completely overlook the night view of the entire Yokohama Port.
After paying the fee, Nakamori Akina and others took the elevator to the top floor and looked at the port area below through the glass.
In the dark night, the bustling shopping street is particularly eye-catching. The densely packed signboards and shops, coupled with the street lights, form several long light strips, and pedestrians walking around can be vaguely seen.
After passing through the Yokohama Port area, the lights in the distance are like stars in the sky, reminding you that there are still people who have not fallen asleep.
Occasionally, there are cars driving at night out of Yokohama, dragging their red taillights and driving towards other surrounding cities. If you look far away, in addition to the dark night, you can also see the blurry scenes of other cities...
..
Suddenly, there seemed to be colorful light spots flashing in a certain direction... just like fleeting colorful bubbles~
"Maki-chan, is that...Hanabi?" Akina Nakamori asked, pointing to the southwest.
"Huh? Where?" Ueda Maki looked over, but could only see small flickering five-color light spots, "Really! The fireworks are so far away!"
"So small, so cute... It's the first time I've seen such a small firework!"
Akina Nakamori's heart moved:
"Fang Zesang, which direction is that?"
Akiko Fusa also looked over and thought about it based on the address of Yokohama: "It's Kanagawa Prefecture!"
"Kanagawa~" Nakamori Akina seemed to have a feeling in her heart, "Naoki-san is right there!"
Ming Xingfang gathered his hands next to his eyes:
"I'm really lucky. The distance is almost 20 kilometers! If it hadn't been at night, if the weather hadn't been good, and if we hadn't been on such a high Yokohama Marine Tower, we definitely wouldn't have been able to see the fireworks!"
"Haha, that's right~"
Akina Nakamori showed a bright smile,
"This is a lucky firework!"
........
Nagayama Naoki was annoyed by the crowd of onlookers. Except for the beating scene which was in a relatively hidden place, during the rest of the filming, he was surrounded by a circle of spectators...
However, there is no good method, the crew does not have the power to enforce the law, and they do not do anything too excessive, they are just joining in the fun to take a look.
However, the reporters who came to interview were very happy. From time to time, they asked some audience members to interview them about their opinions on the crew. Do you know Naoki Nagayama/Takeshi Kitano/Yuko Tanaka? Do you want to go see the movie when it is released...
...
There are all kinds of questions. I think I can publish a rich press release tomorrow.
"Kijima-kun, aren't they tired?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the surrounding audience and sighed, "We have been filming for more than three hours... It's almost late at night, don't go home and sleep
?"
"...Maybe it's because the entertainment activities in small places are relatively poor, so they are reluctant to leave." Kijima thought for a moment and replied.
"This is totally amusement to our crew!"
At this time, Tanaka Yuko, who had been playing in the summer festival, came back and brought a takoyaki specially for Naoki Nagayama. After hearing Naoki Nagayama's troubles, he said:
"Naoki-san, that's because the summer festival isn't over yet!"
"Um?"
"Look, because it's a filming set, all the vendors and shops are still open and brightly lit... Also, the Summer Festival hasn't finished yet, so tourists naturally won't leave.
Already."
"End show?"
"Yeah, isn't there usually some kind of parade, singing, or fireworks?" Tanaka Yuko said matter-of-factly, "When that's over, everyone will know that the Summer Festival is over, and they'll leave...
"
After hearing these words, Nagayama Naoki looked at Takei Takehiko:
"Takei-san...have you bought any fireworks for our summer festival?"
"Ah! Fireworks! Of course there are!" Takeihiko said immediately, "Everything is prepared according to the most authentic summer festival!"
"..." Seeing Takei Takehiko's still very proud look, Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "Then what are you waiting for? Go and let it go!"
Takei Takehiko confirmed: "Now?"
"Right now!"
"Hi! I'll get ready right away! About ten minutes..."
After Takei Takehiko left, Nagayama Naoki said to Kijima Kyor: "Kijima-kun, it just so happens that we have to shoot the dance of two tengu in the yard...
You go and spread the news among the crowd, saying that this is the last program of the Summer Festival - just ask the Tengu to pray, and when the Tengu prays for the fireworks, the Summer Festival will be over!"
"Uh...Hi!" Kijima Xu seemed to have some ideas, but he still went ahead with it honestly.
Tanaka Yuko laughed from the side and said: "Haha, Naoki-san is really good at making things up!"
"This is called adaptability!"
Naoki Nagayama waved his hand, signaling the rest of the crew to get ready before starting the filming.
When the two actors in weird Tengu costumes actually danced in front of the big tree with a rope tied to the shrine in front of the temple, the crowd of people watching knew that this was the last performance - the Tengu prayed, even though they couldn't understand it.
It doesn't make any sense, but I still appreciate it very seriously.
After the weird blessing dance performance for a while, the audience at the former Bird Shrine all heard a whistling sound, and then fireworks began to explode in the sky, colorful and colorful...
It suddenly lights up in the night sky, bursting into the most brilliant colors, and then goes out quietly again, being robbed of its brilliance by another firework.
The sudden fireworks attracted cheers from the children.
The colorful fireworks reflected on the faces of the audience who raised their heads, and seemed to shine into their eyes, as if the Tengu were really praying for blessings.
"It's so beautiful~" "It's so beautiful~"
"We are blessed again this year!" "Tengu prays for good luck and fireworks!"
Praises came one after another, and everyone was praising such beautiful fireworks.
After the fireworks ended, the tourists seemed to really think that the summer festival was over and began to leave in a hurry~
Naoki Nagayama, who was also watching this scene at this moment, was silently keeping track of the time... until the last firework went out~
"Five minutes! Five whole minutes!!!"
Every minute of fireworks is worth money!
Originally, Nagayama Naoki wouldn't care about the money. If he had planned to spend it himself... But this is obviously an unnecessary expense!
This summer festival is equivalent to Shuyu Pictures using its own money to organize a celebration event for the locals of Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and a fireworks show by the way...
The key is that the city government and the shrine itself organize such activities with either subsidies or sponsorships. Naoki Nagayama really does it for charity!
"This money......"
Nagayama Naoki just wanted to ask Takei Takehiko to pay it all, but he couldn't bear it... After all, it was not a small amount. Takei Takehiko, a wage earner, might have to bleed heavily...
So I thought ferociously:
"This year's year-end award, Takei Takehiko must be rated the lowest!!"
I turned to look at the crew. They were still discussing the fireworks just now. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces... It turns out that the happiest people are those who don't even know!
But these guys’ happiness is all based on my money!
He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention:
"Mina-san, I've finished watching the fireworks, and I'm back to work!"
"Today we have to shoot the last scene! The scene of the summer festival ending, and the scene of Masao buying medicine for Kikujiro!"
"Act quickly! Let's try to get off work before early morning!!!"
