The indoor recording of Love Journey was completed very quickly thanks to the outstanding performance of the two protagonists.
There were no duplications, no modifications, and no other accidents on site. The recording was actually completed in one morning.
"Naoki-san, Akina-chan, "Journey of Love" is expected to be released next Wednesday..." Yasushi Akimoto said, "Prime time, avoiding popular movies such as "Night Hit", "THE BEST TEN" and "Music Station"
programme......"
"I will notify you after the editing is completed!"
"Hi, Arigado." Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori nodded their thanks at the same time.
After walking out of the studio, it was already noon. Yasushi Akimoto originally wanted to treat the two of them to a nearby restaurant for a meal. Originally, entertaining important guests was also part of the program producer's job, and there was an entertainment fee!
"Private Marseille, I still have some work..."
Akina Nakamori declined politely. She had to go back to Yanyin Office to discuss her upcoming work schedule, and then she would go back to her hometown in the afternoon, so she didn't have much time to attend the dinner.
"Of course, work is the most important thing..." Of course Akimoto Yasushi wouldn't say much, and looked at Nagayama Naoki again, "Where's Naoki-san?"
"Haha, I can't do it today either...Shuyou Pictures has a movie being previewed, I have to go and see it quickly..."
Nagayama Naoki originally came today not only to record the program, but also to chat with people from Fuji TV about other programs. However, he had already received an invitation from the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" year-end planning, and he didn't want to talk anymore for the time being.
Or is it more important on the company side...
Since both parties had something to do, Akimoto Yasu no longer forced himself and sent the two heavyweight guests away in a good manner.
It was all something that had been discussed before. Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina didn't have much entanglement when they separated, and they left in their respective directions easily.
Iwanami Cinema, preview screening of "Blue Sea".
Itou Shuichi used his connections and invited many big names in the film industry, including his own mentor Machida Yaichi, as well as many media reporters. This preview was much more lively than the premiere of "Kikujiro's Summer"
.
When Nagayama Naoki arrived, the test screening had already ended. Itou Shuichi specially planned a seminar. Under the siege of long guns and short guns, several well-known critics in the film industry discussed their views on "The Blue Sea"
feel.
All the participants were in suits and leather shoes, well-dressed... They looked like they were no ordinary people.
"This movie uses subtle techniques to show the inner world of teenagers!"
"The melancholic cold tones symbolize the sensitivity and restraint of girls in adolescence when they have emotions that are different from those of their peers. The only bright tones are the moments between the two heroines, and the emotions are like highlights in memories..
..."
"The overall use of delicate expression techniques, the warm details of life, restraint yet revealing impulse~"
"..."
Everyone on the stage talked freely and spoke highly of the film's artistry. This is the consistent behavior of the film industry towards art films.
Art films are pioneers, experiments, and the future of film... But things that are too advanced are generally niche, so the films generally don't do well at the box office.
At this time, the seniors in the film industry will naturally not be stingy with some verbal praise.
After all, not everyone can make art films that become box office champions like Naoki Nagayama!
Itou Shuichi very humbly accepted the encouragement from many seniors on the stage, and then answered the reporters' questions in an orderly manner, but there was a sense of regret.
"In the past, when Naoki-san held media press conferences, reporters would always have emergencies of one kind or another... There were also special movies... But when it comes to me, why is it like this?
Did it go well?!"
Itou Shuichi shook his head and thought he might be crazy. Isn't it going well?!
Is it possible to be as popular as being controversial like Nagayama Naoki?......(It seems to be the case! - Itou Shuichi's inner OS)
At this moment, a reporter suddenly asked:
"Director Itou, may I ask whether the two leading actors in this film were discovered by Naoki Nagayama? Is this true?"
"Um... these two are artists discovered by our Shuyou Group..." Itou Xiuyi paused for a moment, but he still explained.
This reporter's question seems to have opened up a hole, and the next questions actually involve Naoki Nagayama... Even the questions asked about Chiko Aoyama and Yuki Saito are inseparable from Naoki Nagayama.
....
"What kind of person do you think Naoki Nagayama is..." "Do you look forward to working with Naoki Nagayama again?" "Are you sad to hear the news of Naoki Nagayama's relationship?"
"I want to give birth to a monkey for Nagayama Naoki...ah, no, do you want to develop a romantic relationship with Nagayama Naoki?!"
Hearing a reporter ask this question, Shuichi Itou, a part-time host, quickly stopped him:
"Hey, hey, hey...this reporter, your question is too off-topic! Such questions are not allowed!"
“Private Marseille....”
The reporter gave in so quickly that Shuichi Itou had no excuse to continue reprimanding him and could only say:
"We can't do this next time! Do you understand?"
But I was complaining in my heart, wasn't Naoki Nagayama not here? How could this even involve him?
I was looking for the reporter to ask the next question, but I found that behind the many reporters, at the door... Naoki Nagayama was standing there!!
"Sure enough, does this guy Nagayama Naoki have super powers? Wherever he stands, he is the news center!" Itou Shuichi silently complained in his heart, "No matter whether others see it or not..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was not until the press conference ended and the reporters left that Naoki Nagayama started talking to the people from Shuyou Films.
"Yuki-chan, Chikoko-chan...Long time no see!"
Nagayama Naoki greeted the two pretty girls.
After a summer of outdoor shooting, the two of them did not get tanned. Instead, after a period of recuperation, they became whiter and more tender.
The slight baby fat on Yuki Saito's face makes her look very cute, while Chiko Aoyama...this little girl is becoming more and more mature. With her big watery eyes, she is the representative of the new generation of pure desire.
Got it!
"Naoki-san!" "Yes, long time no see!"
"what are you doing recently?"
"I'm taking a break...and recording new songs..."
"Where's Naoki-san?"
"I filmed a variety show..."
As soon as Shu Itou saw Naoki Nagayama chatting animatedly with the two girls, he couldn't help but drag him out and into the group of big guys in the film industry.
"Naoki-san, come here first!"
"Eh? Shuichi-san, I'm talking to Yuki-chan and Chikoko-chan!"
"It's more important here!"
No wonder Nagayama Naoki was called a playboy and a scumbag by the media. He himself was too careless!
You are chatting happily with girls in public, don’t you know that the reporters haven’t gone out yet!!!
"Naoki-san, come and meet me, this is the editor-in-chief of the Film Newspaper..."
Itou Shuichi brought Nagayama Naoki to get to know various heavyweights in the film industry. They will later be an important help in "Kikujiro's Summer" to win the award!
........
Akina Nakamori drove her small blue Porsche to Qing Lai’s hometown.
The blue Porsche is very conspicuous in urban Tokyo, let alone in small towns. No one stopped to pay attention!
It wasn't until the Porsche slowly stopped in front of the old house where the six brothers and sisters grew up that the eyes of the people in the town stopped... They all knew that the Zhongsen family had saved their money for who knows how many lifetimes.
Fortunately, a big star artist has emerged.
Akina got out of the car and looked at this old house with emotion and nostalgia in her heart.
As the children grew up one by one and started their own families, the old house became somewhat empty. Only at night, the youngest sister would stay here with her mother, Chieko.
"Ogasan~I'm back!"
Akina Nakamori happily opened the door and immediately felt a slightly tense atmosphere in the room.
Looking into the Japanese room, I saw that my father, Akio Nakamori, was back. He was holding a cup of tea and talking to his mother, Chieko, with a cold face.
Seeing Akina Nakamori's return, her mother Chieko was a little surprised, but she immediately put on a happy expression:
"Ming-chan~ why did you come here suddenly? And you took so many things..."
After saying that, he stood up, took the gift from Akina's hand, and pulled Akina into the house to sit down.
At this time, his father Akio Nakamori nodded solemnly and simply said: "I'm back~"
"Hi..." Akina responded with some restraint, and then continued talking to her mother, Chieko, "I went there to record a travel show in the first half month. I traveled around various places and brought some specialties to everyone.
.....There are also very beautiful silk scarves..."
Chieko took out the silk scarf very happily and kept praising it.
Akina Nakamori also took the snacks she bought for her father and handed them to Akio Nakamori beside her.
Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man did not show a smile at all. Instead, he looked at the snacks in his hand, then looked at the high-end silk scarf Chieko wore around her neck, and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, I bought her such an expensive gift, but gave me such a perfunctory gift..."
Akina Nakamori choked and quickly explained: "Father, this is the most famous snack in Kyoto...you have to queue up to buy it!"
"Ah....."
Akio Nakamori had no intention of letting go. He looked at the harmonious atmosphere of mother and daughter next to him and felt that he was out of place like an outsider.
He had no intention of staying any longer and whispered to his mother, Chieko:
"Give me the stuff quickly! There's something else going on in the store!"
His mother, Chieko, glanced at him and thought about making some sarcastic remarks, but thinking that her daughter was back, she had no intention of continuing to argue with him. She silently took out an envelope from the room and handed it to Akio Nakamori.
After Akio Nakamori took the envelope, he said with a straight face: "Let's go."
As she walked towards the entrance without any hesitation, Akina Nakamori could only say: "Go slowly..."
When Akio Nakamori walked outside, he saw the conspicuous blue Porsche parked at the door and immediately knew it was his daughter's car...
Then I thought about taking the train back to Saitama's butcher shop, and I suddenly felt very unbalanced:
"My father is still riding the tram, but my daughter is driving a Porsche! How can there be such truth!"
After saying that, he kicked the tires of the Porsche and walked away angrily.
Inside the house, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before... Ever since he was a child, every time Akio Nakamori came back, the atmosphere at home had always been depressing and restrictive.
According to the psychology of later generations, there is always someone in a poor family who constantly creates internal strife, so that person in the Nakamori family must be Akio Nakamori.
After Akio Nakamori left, Akina asked:
"Ogasan, father, what is this?"
"He's here to get money!"
Chieko said very normally that after Akina Nakamori checked her accounts last time, she would send part of her income to her mother Chieko as a subsidy to her family every month and let her distribute it.
Whether it is daily life, living allowances for other children or tuition for Mingsui who is still studying, the mother can use it at will.
But what Akina Nakamori didn't expect was that as a father, Akio Nakamori actually received subsidies from her mother?!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Isn't this...father running a butcher shop?"
As far as Akina knows, although Akio Nakamori said that he went to Saitama to open a store because of his family, after she graduated from junior high school, her father brought home very little money, basically nothing.
All the income from the butcher shop should be spent on himself! Why do he still ask his mother, Chieko, for living expenses?!
"Spending money and drinking and living... How can you never have enough money!"
Chieko is very clear about her husband. From being disappointed in the past to not caring about him now, she just regards him as her husband in name only and the father of her children.
Thanks to Akina Nakamori, life is much easier now than before.
"Let's not talk about him!" Chieko didn't want to ruin her good mood after her daughter came back, so she changed the subject, "Where did Akina go before? Was it a recording of a program?"
Nakamori Akina also put aside her doubts and chatted endlessly with her mother about her love journey in the past half month and other interesting things.
However... Chieko actually only cares about one thing most:
"Akina, how far is your love with Nagayama Naoki? When will you officially bring her back to see you?"
"Well..." Akina Nakamori hugged her mother's arm with some trepidation, "Naoki-san said he would take me to his house before the end of the year... to meet his parents..."
These days, the male-female inferiority complex in Neon is very serious. Generally speaking, when couples meet their parents, even if they are celebrities, the woman is required to go to the man’s house first.
The unspoken rule is whether the man's family can agree first, and then whether the woman's family can agree.
Like in later generations, children only notify their parents when they get married, which was not a common practice in this era.
"Oh? That should be soon!"
Chieko said happily that her other children have already gotten married, including two more, and it seems that one of them is getting married soon!
"How come~~~ I haven't said anything about getting married yet~"
Akina acted coquettishly on Chieko's side, and talked a lot about their relationship and recent life events... enjoying the rare family time.
After more than an hour, Akina sat in front of the mirror and asked her mother to help her take care of her hair.
As an all-around mother, Chieko is good at various skills. She also takes care of the hairstyles of her six children from childhood to adulthood... Save money, the cost of haircuts for six children is a big expense.
....
Moreover, Chieko has a very good aesthetic and artistic vision, and simple repairs can produce good results. Nakamori Akina's keen sense of art is probably inherited from her mother.
"Akina..." Halfway through taking care of things, Chieko seemed to suddenly remember something, "There is something I want to tell you..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Akina Nakamori asked curiously as she watched her mother's expression change in the mirror.
"It's that kid from Akiho..." Chieko said with some worry, "She wants to drop out of school and follow your example to work in the entertainment industry..."
"Akiho?"
Akina Nakamori is a bit embarrassed, her younger sister... can't dance or sing, and in terms of looks, she's just average, and has no competitiveness in the entertainment industry.
Even when she first debuted, she was told by her physique teacher that she was ordinary and that she should stop competing with other contestants for her looks and cuteness. Singing honestly is the way to go!
Except for one thing, she is Nakamori Akina's sister...
"Ogasan...Akiho, it may be very difficult in the entertainment industry..." Akina Nakamori said it directly without trying to tact her mother, "I don't have any skills."
"Yes, I was learning ballet at that time. I wish I could have learned it with her..." Chieko sighed.
But after all, she was the youngest daughter, so Chieko still asked for help: "Akina, with your current fame, can't you provide some help to Akio?"
There are many, whether it is record companies or TV shows, Akina Nakamori has more or less connections...
After all, the past few years in the entertainment industry have not been in vain. He is excellent and has the support of Naoki Nagayama and Kenin behind him. Most people in the entertainment industry will still give him some face.
But... these resources were given to Mingsui, she couldn't take them!
After thinking for a while, Nakamori Akina said: "Ogasan, actually the entertainment world is not such a beautiful place. If you can't get into it, it's best not to consider coming to the entertainment world...
If Mingsui really wants to enter the entertainment industry, then she should first participate in various talent selection competitions and practice her ability to face live audiences...and then she can help find some resources..."
After Chieko heard this, she sighed a little in her heart. She also knew that her little daughter had no talent... In fact, it would be the best choice if she could find a good man and marry her honestly.
However, my daughter is older... and there is a sister in front of me who is very popular, so I naturally don't want to be ordinary.
"Okay, I'll persuade her..." Chieko said, then looked at Akina's hairstyle in the mirror and showed a satisfied smile, "Okay!"
Nakamori Akina's baby fat is almost gone. She has delicate and fair skin, big black and white eyes, a delicate nose bridge, and a perfect jaw... She looks like a person who stepped out of a painting.
Same.
"My Akina is getting more and more beautiful! She looks good with any hairstyle!"
"That guy Naoki Nagayama is really cheap!"
"Ogasan~~~" Akina Nakamori said shyly, leaning on her mother, "I don't take advantage of others!"
"Then don't marry him and stay with your mother all your life!" Chieko pressed Akina's shoulder and said with a smile.
Akina Nakamori refused: "That won't work..."
After laughing for a while, Chieko looked at the sky and said, "Will Akina stay for dinner tonight?"
"Probably not..." Akina Nakamori said, "I have to rehearse tonight...the dance of the new song~"
Chieko looked at her daughter who looked more and more like an adult, and could only sigh:
