The memory of goldfish is only 7 seconds. I don’t know who came up with this conclusion. Later, it was extended to describe the fleetingness of human memory~
However, if this conclusion is applied to the entertainment industry, it seems to make sense. The popularity of each hot news in the entertainment industry is also very short-lived.
Just like Matsuda Seiko's marriage news...it will no longer be able to occupy the headlines of newspapers and magazines after a week.
Today's headlines are - "Shocking, the famous director's new film will be a bloody zombie movie!" "It is reported that Naoki Nagayama's new film is very hip-slimming!" "A movie completed in a month?! Shoddy?" "Non-stop shots.
.....A zombie movie in one shot"...
The exaggerated title coupled with some specially released scenes has caused people to discuss Naoki Nagayama's new movie "The Camera Don't Stop" more frequently. Many fans are very curious about this mysterious movie, and there are also some who are interested in it.
Talking bad things.
"Record of Ghosts", "Gas Station Robbery Incident", "The Tale of Hachiko", "The Sea of Tranquility That Summer", "High School", "April Story", "Kikujiro's Summer"...
Each of these movies can be considered a hit, raising everyone's expectations for Naoki Nagayama's films.
"Director Yongshan's movie can't be too bad, right?" "Isn't it a bit too shoddy?" "It's only a month, which is more or less too short..." "It's better to wait until the movie is released to see it.
Bar!"
Numerous comments have spread, with supporters, opponents and neutral and objective people all waiting for the release of the new movie...
At this time, Nagayama Naoki... was sitting in Samadhiju drinking tea with others!
"Of course it's specially released!" Naoki Nagayama and Masaki Kobayashi opposite said, "This movie is a bit novel, so let's lower everyone's expectations first..."
"Oh? I think the audience is more curious now!" Masaki Kobayashi drank freshly picked spring tea and chatted with Naoki Nagayama, "There are also many old friends in the film industry who are also very interested in these comments.
They have very vicious words!"
"Hahaha, then this movie will surprise them!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled,
"To put it bluntly, the first half hour was just a piece of shit!"
"..."
Kobayashi Masaki was holding a piece of brown tea cake to eat. Hearing this, his face condensed and he put it down silently.
"Naoki-san, release this movie at such a critical time for the Palme d'Or...you know the consequences, right?"
"Isn't it just that if the movie is good, it will be the icing on the cake, but if the movie has low reviews, it will be worse~" Nagayama Naoki waved his hand, "I have made all the preparations I can for the Palme d'Or... But for this movie in hand,
I am also very confident!”
"Didn't I just say it was still a lump..."
"We have to wait until half an hour later!" Nagayama Naoki quickly interjected, "I guarantee that it will be worth the money later! The one-shot shooting technique, the plot arrangement of the drama within the drama... In short, Masaki-san is like this
Experienced people will smile knowingly when they see it, and ordinary viewers will also laugh out loud!"
The movie "The Camera Can't Stop" is scheduled to be previewed on April 28. That day is the weekend, which happens to be a good time for me and I to go to the theater. It will also be released at the end of April and the beginning of May...
During this period, festivals come one after another, and it happens to be the neon May Day Golden Week, and many companies will have holidays.
"Masaki-san, during the preview screening..." Nagayama Naoki raised his tea cup to offer tea, "Please be sure to watch it half an hour later!"
"Oh! Naoki-san really got me interested this time!"
Masaki Kobayashi nodded cheerfully. In fact, which of Nagayama Naoki's movies has he not been interested in in the past few years?
Not only him, but also many new and old directors will watch Naoki Nagayama's movies. His movies seem to be innovative every time and inspire directors!
Unconsciously, Naoki Nagayama seems to have become a benchmark character in 1980s movies.
When future generations discuss the most representative film directors of the 1980s, Naoki Nagayama must be the first!
The old and young couple, who have been friends for many years, were drinking tea and chatting leisurely on the second floor of Samadhi Residence. They even had lunch here~
.......
In Shuyou's studio, the staff in the distribution department began to get busy.
Sugiyama Chihiko received or made phone calls from time to time, while Watanabe Eiichiro was busy going through promotional materials one after another...including various press releases.
Most of the reports in today's newspapers were written by Shuyu himself, and they were all based on the previous instructions of Naoki Nagayama.
"Eiichiro, the newspaper has been contacted, and we will continue to spread the news tomorrow." Sugiyama Chihiko said to Watanabe Eiichiro, "Has the follow-up draft been confirmed?"
"Hey, everything has been confirmed!" Eiichiro Watanabe nodded, and then showed a strange smile, "When I distributed it to the editors of various newspapers, they thought it was a joke! How could it be that they were all derogatory words..."
"Yes...Naoki-san is really unexpected."
For a new movie by a director with a great reputation, newspapers are reporting negatively... Ordinary people will think there must be a conspiracy behind it, while other people will be more interested in the new movie~
"There are still three days of previews, and there will definitely be a lot of reporters at the previews!" Eiichiro Watanabe said, "Will we still maintain this tone then?"
"Naoki-san will definitely accept the interview by then, let him decide by himself!"
Sugiyama Chihiko knocked on Yoshimura Otomo's office with the prepared materials:
"Otomo-san, here are the preview screenings and other promotional materials..."
"Well, I'll watch it again later..." Yoshimura Otomo himself was also busy. He put the materials aside and asked, "Have the various theaters made arrangements for the subsequent nationwide release?"
"Hey, major theaters in major cities have already arranged their shows." Sugiyama Zhiyanhui reported, "Other small cities are making arrangements...but it will definitely be fine before it is released!"
"Ah That's good!"
Yoshimura Otomo lowered his head and looked at the other plan in his hand with a confused look on his face:
"Hire trolls? Use various channels to speak out... and even ask to find people in various school clubs to promote..."
"Naoki-san came up with the idea out of nowhere."
There are actually only three main types of movie promotions these days, one is newspapers and magazines, one is TV stations, and the other is various offline billboards.
It is very difficult to rely on word of mouth to ferment...
However, Naoki Nagayama did not forget the importance of word-of-mouth. Instead, he suggested finding a spy in school, which made Otomo Yoshimura feel helpless for a while.
"Where can I find this kind of trolls? You can pay a little money in newspapers and periodicals...but offline..."
Sugiyama Chihiko heard the boss's troubles and said:
"Otomo-san... Actually, when I was promoting the movie in the past, I came into contact with many film enthusiast clubs in schools. Why not start with them?"
"Movie lovers, would you like to be a troll?"
"Ha, those poor students were very happy to give them some peripherals and free tickets in the past... If they have the funds this time..."
"Of course!" Yoshimura Otomo immediately affirmed, "Sugiyama-san, if we can find it, everyone has a budget of 500 yen! There is no limit!"
"Hey, leave it to me then!"
Sugiyama Zhiyan immediately nodded and agreed!
Why would students be unwilling?
Just like in the future, all part-time jobs worth 100 yuan will be for college students to post flyers in an afternoon. Now you only need to write a good review and you will get money... It is much higher than 50 cents!
Shuyu Pictures is working hard to promote "The Camera Don't Stop", and Naoki Nagayama himself has returned to the studio after separating from Masaki Kobayashi.
"Otomo-san... During the preview, I will be interviewed by reporters." Nagayama Naoki said, "I talked to Masaki-san today, and I have also contacted some friends in the industry before. Movie reviews
At that time, we will arrange for some of our own people and conduct random interviews with them."
"Will they all have nice things to say?"
Film critics of this era still attach great importance to their own reputation. After all, unlike the many critics in later generations, each of them is valuable now.
"Not necessarily...but I asked them to see it after half an hour!"
"Is it really that bad in the first half hour?" Yoshimura Otomo complained, "Naoki-san... is there really no problem with doing this?"
"Ah, I almost forgot, Otomo-san hasn't seen it yet!"
Only then did Nagayama Naoki remember that after editing, he sent it directly to the Film Technology Factory for copying.
But after thinking about it:
"You come with me!"
"?"
"I have also shot some material before, which can give you a rough idea of the first half hour of the movie."
I have practiced it many times before, so I have a scrapped version.
"this....."
After all, Yoshimura Otomo was dragged to the editing room by Naoki Nagayama, and then he looked at the material from the previous shot.
The light in the small editing room was dim, and the projector projected the material from the previous practice on the screen. Yoshimura Otomo's face began to look strange.
The shaky camera, the poor service, the unclear plot, the strange performances... all of this seems to be a shoddy work filmed by a primary school student with a video camera.
"...Naoki-san..." Otomo Yoshimura's face turned pale, "Are you going to show this kind of work to the audience?"
He regretted it now. Because of his confidence in Nagayama Naoki, he supported his publicity plan without hesitation and arranged the time for test screening and official release...
But now, Fangcun Dayou feels that this will be the beginning of the collapse of the Shuyou brand!
"Haha, didn't I say that the main film will be in half an hour!"
Nagayama Naoki turned off the projector and opened the curtains without caring.
"I let Otomo-san watch the first half hour today just to let Otomo-san understand... the storm of public criticism that will come after the movie is released..."
"There must be someone who can't stand it for even half an hour and then leaves!"
"...But Naoki-san, it's really hard!" Yoshimura Otomo said with lingering fear, "Watching the previous short film made me feel sick!"
"How about it, it's very novel!" Naoki Nagayama was still smiling.
"..." Looking at the smiling face of his president, Yoshimura Otomo suppressed the complaints that were about to blurt out, "Naoki-san, you better know what you are doing!"
"Of course I understand!"
When Naoki Nagayama was filming, he knew that this movie would probably not be adaptable if it was broadcast in this era... After all, today's audiences may be more conservative, and the first half hour is indeed a screening.
Moreover, there is currently not enough platform for the audience to express their opinions, so that everyone can understand the excitement after half an hour, so that the movie can become popular due to word-of-mouth.
But... isn't that because of his fame!
There are also the resources of tree friends...and other newspapers, media and critics who have received red envelopes...
It’s the same thing if you use this to attract the audience to the cinema and keep them there for half an hour!
Anyway, in the end, the movie was really interesting~
"Otomo-san...so don't be scared when the time comes!"
"...I'm scared right now!"
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Naoki Nagayama who was full of confidence, but still chose to believe him... After all, he is Naoki Nagayama!

Miura Tomokazu, who came back from the set of Taiga TV series, adjusted his emotions and walked to his home in Takanawa 80 Building.
"I'm back~"
Miura Tomokazu, who opened the door and was changing shoes in the entrance hall, said something into the room. Then he saw Yamaguchi Momoe walking to the entrance hall and said softly:
"Welcome home!"
Then he reached out and took the coat and bag from his hand.
"How is Yutaro today?" Miura Yuka walked towards the room and asked about his eldest son's day.
"Of course Yutaro is very well-behaved. After drinking milk in the morning, he ate complementary food, then played happily with toys, and slept well until three o'clock at noon!"
Yamaguchi Momoe happily shared her son’s happy life,
"I haven't cried until now..."
"Really?" Miura Tomokazu was also very happy after hearing this. When he saw Yutaro in the fence, he hugged the little guy very excitedly, "Yutaro, daddy is back!"
"Wow~~~" The little guy cried in shame!
"...Really, you said you wouldn't cry all day long! You made him cry as soon as you came back!" Yamaguchi Momoe quickly picked up her struggling son, slowly coaxed her up, and sniffed Miura by the way.
On Yuka, "You smell like cigarettes... No wonder Yutaro is crying!"
"......Well....."
Miura Tomokazu is helpless, it is a fashion for men to smoke these days! Especially when he is still on the set...
"How was today's filming?" Yamaguchi Momoe continued to ask, "It seems to be over soon?"
"Hey, it will be over in May!" Miura Yukazu said, "After that, it will be the director's editing, and the subsequent publicity cooperation..."
"It won't be released until the second half of the year, right?"
"Um....."
After saying this, Miura Yuka stopped, because he would have no job after that... There were no projects for the time being, and the office had no choice.
He doesn't want to be on a variety show, otherwise most people will ask about Yamaguchi Momoe... He is an actor, not an idol.
At this moment, the phone at home suddenly rang. Miura Yukazu went to answer it, and then his face began to change~
"Notify me to audition?" "New drama in May?"
"Shuichi Itou of Shuyu Pictures is the director..."
"Hey, I understand, I'll be there on time!"
Miura Tomokazu just happened to catch Yamaguchi Momoe's gaze as he hung up the phone.
"Is it a new job?"
"Hmm~" Miura Tomokazu nodded, "It's an audition for Shuyu's new TV series role... It's a project directed by Itou, and filming is expected to start in May."
"That's great!" Yamaguchi Momoe smiled, "Shuyou's new project is very popular now!"
"Love Century" has just ended. The popular TV series has allowed Shuyou to gain a firm foothold in the field of TV series. Many actors are willing to participate, not to mention Itou Shuichi as the lead!
"It's just an audition opportunity... we can't confirm it yet!" Miura Yuka tried his best to keep his face calm.
"My dear, you must be fine!"
Yamaguchi Momoe is full of confidence in her husband. In terms of acting skills, Miura Yuka must be passable. You can tell simply by looking at his ability to participate in the filming of Taiga Drama.
It was only because of the resistance from some people about marrying myself that they were unwilling to take risks in other projects.
Miura Yuka smiled and said there was no need to boast. A man should speak with facts.
But something suddenly occurred to him:
"Tell me, is it Naoki-san..."
Yamaguchi Momoe also thought: "It must be because of Naoki-san!"
There are not so many coincidences in the world, and the couple who hang out in the entertainment industry know this even more.
Yamaguchi Momoe thought for a moment:
"My dear, after we win the role, let's invite Naoki-san and Akina-chan over to our house for dinner!"
