713, even its mother doesnt recognize it after the radical change!!
.......
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, sending summer greetings equally to everyone and everything on earth.
And in this hot environment, cities like Tokyo are still bustling with energy~
Shops in department stores are shouting about discounts, cars blocking the road are honking, pedestrians in a hurry are walking through, street vendors are selling... and there are still children who are not worried, exploring the restless places in the treetops.
The cicadas chirped and emitted crisp laughter.
A motorcade came in from the west of the city, without causing the city the slightest reaction, just like thousands of other ordinary people.
"Finally...it's back again!"
Nagayama Naoki opened the car window, letting the lukewarm wind blow his long hair, and looked at the steel jungle standing in front of him.
The time has come to the end of August, and the crew of "Kikujiro's Summer", which has been filming outside for more than a month, finally returned to the place where it started.
"Naoki-san, do we still have one more shot to shoot?" Kijima Kyor asked while driving, "Do you want to finish shooting in the morning?"
"Well, we finished shooting in the morning!" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "I specially saved this comeback scene until now!"
In fact, this scene could have been shot when we were shooting in Tokyo at the beginning of the month, but in order to have a beginning and an end, Naoki Nagayama specially left the last shot until now.
On the banks of the Sumida River, the characters played by Takeshi Kitano and Naoto Fujiki, one large and one young, finally came to say goodbye.
"Ogi-san, what's your name?" Masao asked.
"Kikujiro, Baga!" Only then did Kikujiro tell Masao his name and waved to him, "Go back quickly!"
The last shot of the separation, watching Masao running away from the bridge~
"Click!"
Nagayama Naoki shouted with a loudspeaker, then looked at the crew members who had been together for a month and let out a long sigh of relief.
Everyone also looked at the director of the crew.
"Mina-san! It's finished!!!" Naoki Nagayama said loudly.
“Oh oh oh~~~”
Everyone cheered enthusiastically and clapped their hands, and it took a while before they became quiet.
Then, under the command of Kijima Xu, they began to pack up the equipment, prepare to load it into the car and take it back to the studio. Others also communicated in twos and threes, discussed the upcoming vacation, and began to prepare to go back.
Nagayama Naoki gathered together with several leading actors and other actors who have remained until now, and bowed to them:
"Our shooting mission this time is officially over, thank you all for your hard work!"
"Where is it~" "It's hard work, director"
Kitano Takeshi, Tanaka Yuko, and other actors also responded respectfully.
"This shooting went very smoothly overall." Naoki Nagayama looked at everyone and said, "After today, everyone will have a good rest for a few days, and please come to the finals banquet later."
"Definitely, definitely~"
After continuing to chat for a few words, the actors who were not particularly close to each other slowly left. Even Takeshi Kitano said he was going to go have a drink with his friends and left gracefully.
Only Tanaka Yuko was left next to him.
"Yuko-san, aren't you in a hurry to go home?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"I'm not in a hurry. I want to go shopping with my best friends at the shops in the city center later~" Yuko Tanaka said easily, "This shooting trip is like a vacation for me, I'm not tired at all."
"Haha, that's true."
"What will Naoki-san do next?"
Tanaka Yuko asked, of course she would not invite Nagayama Naoki to go shopping with her. The two of them are currently involved in scandals. If they are photographed, it will make entertainment headlines again.
"I have to go back to the company first to make arrangements for the next thing..." Nagayama Naoki said and sighed, "Then I have to go back to Shizuoka... to make arrangements.
Taro and Nyaotaro will bring you back."
"Today? Aren't you too anxious?" Tanaka Yuko knew that Nagayama Naoki left a cat and a dog at his hometown, but why was he so anxious to pick them up, "Naoki-san, you just returned to Tokyo?"
Nagayama Naoki looked a little worried:
"I'm going a day later, and I estimate that Taro is 0.5kg heavier... Meowtaro is a little less, so he's probably 0.1kg as well."
"...."
Yuko Tanaka is speechless, Naoki-san, is your hometown some kind of specialized pet feed factory? You can actually gain weight every day?!
By the way, if you have this kind of technical ability, it should be very profitable to open a breeding farm!
Nagayama Naoki shook his head and shook the Labrador, who had probably become a pig, out of his head:
"Yuko-san, do you want me to give you a ride?"
"No need..." Tanaka Yuko shook her head and refused. Tokyo is so convenient. "Well, Naoki-san, I'll see you later at the wedding banquet."
"Hi....."
After all the actors were gone, everyone on the crew packed up their equipment, and the convoy, which was missing a few cars, missed the rush hour and drove to Shuyou's studio.
........
At the front desk of the main entrance of the studio, Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yuka, who had nothing to do for the time being, were discussing today's lunch.
But at this moment, the two of them discovered several cars parked at the entrance of the studio, and then a group of dark people jumped out of it.
However, one of the two leading men was so handsome that he could be recognized at a glance.
"Naoki-san?!"
Xing Jiahua looked at the leader Naoki Nagayama in surprise. As for the guy next to him, he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for the moment.
"Ah, Hana-chan~" Nagayama Naoki greeted.
"Zhi Shu-san, has the filming finished?" Xing Jiahua watched as familiar colleagues came in from outside, carrying large and small equipment boxes in their hands.
"Well, the shooting is over." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Hana-chan, no one is using the editing room at the moment, right?"
"Hi!"
"Then open the door and let Kijima-kun and the others store the materials in." Nagayama Naoki pointed to Kijima Kyon next to him and said, "There is also the equipment room...the machines need to be put back."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I understand!" Xing Jiahua immediately agreed, and then said to Suzuki Yukika, who seemed to be a little nymphomaniac after seeing Naoki Nagayama, "Yukika
Jiang, let's go together, the editing room hasn't been used for a long time, it might need to be cleaned up."
"Hi~"
The round-faced Yukika Suzuki glanced at Naoki Nagayama again, then reluctantly walked inside.
Nagayama Naoki naturally did not pay attention to this little girl. Instead, he said to Kijima Xu:
"Kijima-kun, after the materials are stored, you should go back and rest first, wait until...three days! Give everyone three days of leave, and then we will start editing again."
"Hi!"
Kijima Xu nodded and led his two assistants to sort out the materials. Then the other crew members went to the equipment room to put things away. As for Nagayama Naoki himself, he walked to the office.
When I opened the door, the cool air from the air conditioner hit my face.
Bright sunlight shines in from the transparent glass windows, making the entire office bright, but strong cold air blows from the vertical air conditioner, keeping the temperature in the room below twenty degrees.
Yoshimura Otomo was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, looking at the documents in his hand leisurely. The teacup on the table was still steaming...
"Otomo-san...you set the temperature too low, right? Can your body bear it?!" Naoki Nagayama rubbed the goosebumps on his arms. The temperature went from 30 degrees outside to 20-, ten
What a temperature difference!
"The air conditioner can keep my mind calm." Otomo Yoshimura took a sip of hot tea and said, "Naoki-san, the movie will be finished today?"
"Yeah~"
After explaining it again, Naoki Nagayama sat on the office chair.
"I'll take three days off first, and then I'll start editing."
"Well, our previous posters and promotional materials have been prepared. When will we start promoting them?" Fangcun Otomo asked.
"Let's find a weekend to hold a reveal meeting to announce the completion of filming. We can start promoting it from then on." Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, "By the way, we will have a wrapping party on the same day... You can invite some media to the venue. That counts as
part of the propaganda.”
"Oh? Is this good?" Yoshimura Otomo felt that Nagayama Naoki had played Xuanfa to the details now, and it was obviously a celebration party.
"Haha, with marketing thinking, everything can be used for publicity!"
Nagayama Naoki looked at the other empty table, "How is Shuichi-san doing?"
"The filming of "Blue Sea" went smoothly... I rented a house on the beach and am currently filming~" Otomo Yoshimura said, "There won't be any big problems on his side."
Then he emphasized his tone:
"However...the production of "High School 2" encountered some obstacles."
"?"
Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment. The production of "High School 2" was put on the schedule after the release of "Love Will Stop". Masataka Komori should be solely responsible for it now.
"What's the obstacle?"
"A Yakuza group wants to participate in the production!"
"???"
Nagayama Naoki was surprised that there are actually Yakuza elements who want to participate in film production? Haven't they asked about our background?!
"It seems to be the Maple Leaf Club..." Otomo Fangcun mentioned a name I hadn't heard for a long time, "Qingshui-san introduced me here."
"...What does that guy want to do?"
"Contribution of capital, dividends...and the proportion of the shares should not be low." Fangcun Otomo said, "Originally, if it is a normal business behavior, it would be nothing. At worst, we will not be able to reach an agreement.
But now they control the studio we selected, and we have already signed a contract with the factory there..."
"High School 2" takes place not only in Suzuran High School, so Komori Masataka chose an area in the factory area in northern Tokyo to build some sets.
It’s also the tree friend’s favorite shooting base in the future, and this time it’s a trial in advance.
"...Is that so?" Nagayama Naoki touched his chin, "Don't those guys know that there is a connection behind us?"
"The Yamaguchi-gumi is currently in the midst of the Yamaichi struggle, and the boss of the Tokyo branch is facing prison. They may think that they don't have the energy to take care of Tokyo at the moment." Otomo Yoshimura explained.
"Forehead....."
Yes, Misaka Takahiro of the East Asia Club was brought to the police station by a manipulation between himself and Nagayama Kaede. He is currently being prosecuted by the prosecutor for extortion. Since there are congressmen as witnesses, it is inevitable that he will go to jail.
"How far is it now?"
Yoshimura Otomo said: "Currently, Qingshui-san is still communicating with us, and the scene is being built on the set...but there are always some bad people hanging around..."
"..." His brows furrowed, and Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Then wait for a while, and I will think of a way."
"Hot Blood High School 2" is in the preparation period. The official filming has not started yet, so there is still plenty of time.
"Hi!"
.........
It was almost noon, so Otomo Yoshimura and Naoki Nagayama naturally went out for a big meal, but there was no drinking this time.
After lunch, Naoki Nagayama took a taxi back to Sansakura-in, thinking about putting all the changing items home before returning to his hometown and picking up his cats and dogs.
The quiet Yamazakura-in is no different from the last time I came back. The dark buildings still have a cool feeling under the shelter of bamboo forests and cherry trees.
After taking a shower, Nagayama Naoki poured the clothes into the washing machine and added a lot of washing powder. When he came back in the evening, it should be almost dry.
I came to the living room feeling refreshed and found that the phone next to the sofa was flashing... was there a message?
After clicking the play button, it turned out to be Akihiro Hirayama, the manager of the Toyota store:
"Zhi Shusang, your new car is ready to be picked up...all the procedures have been completed...you can come to our store on working days..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The customized version of AE86 has arrived?!
Nagayama Naoki laughed, this is a gift for Akina, the only dark blue AE86 in the world...
Upon hearing this news, Naoki Nagayama immediately postponed his return to his hometown. After packing up, he took a taxi to a Toyota store.
...
In the afternoon, the store was deserted, and even the staff hid under the air conditioner in the office, feeling depressed.
However, after seeing Naoki Nagayama getting out of the taxi at the door, the female salesperson on duty had already cheered up:
"Welcome to Toyota Motor Store.... How can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Akihiro Hirayama." Naoki Nagayama ignored the expectant saleswoman in front of him and said directly, "Come pick up the car."
"Hi..." Although she was disappointed, the female salesperson immediately informed the manager Hirayama Akihiro.
Not long after, a figure hurried over.
"Naoki-san!" Hirayama Akihiro smiled and stretched out his hand.
Naoki Nagayama smiled and held his hand, a little impatiently: "Manager Hirayama, I came right after I heard your message. Where is the car?"
"The car has been parked in the warehouse. Let's complete the process first, and then we can pick up the car!"
Akihiro Hirayama naturally knew the mood of the car buyer, so he did not delay and immediately took Naoki Nagayama to complete the car pick-up procedures and pay the balance.
Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama now has a checkbook and doesn't need to carry large sums of cash to pay bills.
Akihiro Hirayama took Naoki Nagayama to the garage. After walking a short distance inside, an unexpected car appeared in front of him.
Dark blue paint, silver side skirts and windows, black wheels, high-power exhaust pipes, and what’s even more surprising is the slightly upturned tail fin at the rear of the car... This is clearly a sports car!
"Is this AE86?" Nagayama Naoki asked a little uncertainly.
"Hi, this is a private custom modification according to Naoki-san's request!" Hirayama Akihiro said gushingly, "We... added... to the engine... and redesigned...
..."
“In short, everything has reached the top level of configuration!”
Hirayama Akihiro said proudly!
"???!!!"
There was no 3D modeling in this era, and Naoki Nagayama had never seen the final effect of customization. Since it was a special customization, he only remembered that Akihiro Hirayama brought a list at that time, saying it was the top configuration...
..
Now this car can only be seen from the two front lights as Fujiwara Takumi's AE86... After the modification, even its mother didn't recognize it!
"this......"
"Naoki-san, what's wrong?" Hirayama Akihiro asked, "Are you dissatisfied with anything?"
"Hmm...it's not bad~" In short, it is indeed quite beautiful now, and it feels like a sports car, and the dark blue color is not too eye-catching.
"Then do we want to test drive?"
"Um....."
So in the end, Naoki Nagayama drove this modified AE86 on the highway back to his hometown.
