Naoki Nagayama was startled by what Akina Nakamori said in front of the mirror, and his scalp felt inexplicably itchy...
"Doing your hair?" Naoki Nagayama tilted his head and asked, "Are you going to change your hairstyle?"
"Hi, because the style of the new album... I need to straighten my hair a little... be a little smoother... give it a more mature and gentle feel."
Akina's current hairstyle is medium-length shoulder-length curly hair, which is full of youthful vigor and immature feeling. She is roughly a girl who is growing up, but for the next album, she needs to be more mature and more feminine.
Nagayama Naoki walked over, stood outside the dressing table and looked for a while, then reached out and pushed Akina's hair aside, revealing her slender neck and delicate jaw...
Looking at the beautiful image in the mirror, Nagayama Naoki chewed the words and said:
"Looking at it this way, it feels...lightly familiar..."
"Lightly mature?"
"A mildly mature girl..." Naoki Nagayama rubbed the fair and smooth skin on his shoulders and neck, and said with a smile, "Just the right amount of sexy~"
Nakamori Akina's eyes narrowed, showing a dangerous look, and she looked up at her boyfriend:
"Naoki-san really knows a lot about women~~~"
"..."
Of course, there has been research. The data disk with more than a dozen Ts in the past life is no joke! Besides, if you don’t study this kind of thing, how can you be a perfect boyfriend?!
However, looking at Nakamori Akina's eyes as if she could see through someone's true nature, and the disgust and cunning in them...
Forget it, I can’t explain it! Then I won’t explain it!
Nagayama Naoki chose to lower his head immediately, first kissed his delicate cheek gently, and then moved down to block what his girlfriend was about to say.
The kiss made Akina's face turn red before she let go. Her rosy face was very moving in the early morning sun...it was so early in the morning...it almost went off again~
Small sparks are very necessary in life. After appeasing his girlfriend, the two of them had breakfast happily before heading to the company.
When we arrived at the studio, it was almost 9 o'clock, and everyone had just arrived~
"Zhi Shu San Zao~" "Hey, Zhi Shu San!" "Zhi Shu San..."
It was still a very warm greeting. Nagayama Naoki came to the office in return and found that Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were already there.
"Ah, Naoki-san is here..." Itou Shuichi pointed to the newspapers on the table and said, "The comments about "The Camera Don't Stop" are all there!"
"Ha~"
Nagayama Naoki glanced at it and saw that it was still the same as "half an hour ago and half an hour later, completely different." He had already read these titles at home.
There are also some reporters, perhaps in order to increase traffic, who directly used the title "Naoki Nagayama's bad movie appears".
Maybe there are also some jealous third parties who are helping behind the scenes.
"There's nothing new. We've all expected this, haven't we?" Nagayama Naoki shook his head at Yoshimura Otomo, "Some newspapers are just for the sake of being black. Maybe there are opponents behind it."
"Well, so in the morning, the publishing department has been asked to arrange the next draft!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "Sugiyama-san and Eiichiro-kun should have contacted me by now!"
"Who do you think will be jealous this time?"
The previous film "The Summer of Kikujiro" is competing for the Palme d'Or, and now there is another film "The Camera Don't Stop". If it continues to be a hit, it will definitely shock the industry. Besides, it is too rolly!
In the past few years, when talking about movies, the name Shuyou Pictures will come to everyone’s mind~
"Toho, Toei... Kadokawa is impossible, Shochiku Naoki-san has acquaintances... probably these two are the only ones~"
"Yeah." Nagayama Naoki responded with his nose, and then thought about it, "There will be one day until it is officially released... If this is the day..."
"You can't do anything on this day!" Itou Shuichi shook his head, "Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, there won't be any accidents!"
"It's impossible to tell..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Shuichi-san, some of the tricks are actually very simple... For example, stealing movie copies directly from the film technology factory to make the movie miss its schedule.
.....No need to steal, just hide it for a day or two..."
"Forehead....."
Film copying these days is very troublesome and needs to be started a long time in advance. Especially Shuyou’s list is different from that of other major studios. "The Camera Don't Stop" was made in a hurry and was produced overtime in a short period of time.
There are not even extra copies.
And the film technology factory is not a military base, so it is very easy to bribe a security guard.
Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi looked at each other. They had never considered this kind of thing, so Itou Shuichi quickly called the employees at the film technology factory to tell them to be careful.
After the call was finished and the gap was closed, Shuichi Itou looked at Naoki Nagayama:
"Naoki-san, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, come and choose the protagonist of "Squid Game" with me!"
"Audition?" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "That's okay...it's also in the studio, right?"
"Hi!"
Itou Shuichi became even more relaxed after getting the answer~
.......
Most people in Tokyo really learned about the movie "The Cameras Don't Stop" last night and this morning.
At stations, subways, bulletin boards...everywhere you go to work or after going out, you can see the poster of this movie. The director holding the camera on it looks very magical.
People who have the habit of reading newspapers have their thoughts after reading "Don't Stop the Camera" in major newspapers.
"Do you have to hold on for half an hour first?" Yuta Ito, a movie lover, was very curious when communicating with his companions, "Why does it take half an hour..."
"The newspaper said it was just a foreshadowing..." said my companion Yuta Miyake, "It must have been the first half hour that people couldn't see clearly!"
"Hmm... I guess you'll find surprises if you keep reading..."
“After all, it’s Naoki Nagayama’s movie, so it won’t be too unbearable no matter what.”
Miyake Yuta is very confident in Nagayama Naoki. From high school to the current university, when he actually watched movies, Naoki Nagayama's name is almost everywhere.
Since the second movie "That Summer, Sea of Tranquility", this guy has almost been a fan of Naoki Nagayama.
Similarly, among college students, there are not a few who are optimistic about Naoki Nagayama...
"Speaking of which, the school's film club seems to be organizing an event... to watch the premiere." Yuta Ito said.
"Eh? Is the film club so rich?"
"Well, it seems that we have negotiated a group discount with the cinema..." Yuta Ito continued, "Yuta, let's go watch it together!"
"Yoshi, call other friends together!"
"Good!"
The two people walked towards the teaching building of Waseda University while discussing the next arrangements.
The two of them didn't notice at all, there were two girls whispering behind them~
"Tsuruko Tsuruko..."Don't Stop the Camera" is Naoki-san's new movie, right?" Junsui Ishii took Nagayama Tsuruko's arm and asked, "Do you know what half an hour is about?
?"
"Of course I don't know!"
Tsuruko shook his head. Although he occasionally called his brother, he mostly talked about daily life, communicating and gossiping... What's so interesting about formal work?
Just like Naoki Nagayama wouldn't ask about her grades...you know that's very annoying!
"I just know it's a zombie movie..." Nagayama Tsuruko guessed, "The first half hour might be very bloody and unbearable!"
"Oh? Tsuruko doesn't know either?"
Ishii Junsui's eyes rolled,
"In that case, Tsuruko, let's go see it together!"
"Just the two of us?" Nagayama Tsuruko asked.
"Of course I have to bring those two guys with me!" Ishii Junsui has been having trouble with Iwai Dayo recently, so this time it can be regarded as a step up, "Anyway, there are zombies, it must be a horror movie... I don't dare to be alone.
Go and see!”
"...Hey, you just want to reconcile with Iwai-senpai!"
"A little bit, so what!" Junsui Ishii stopped pretending, "How can there be conflicts between lovers overnight!"
"Ha... love brain!" Tsuruko said with disdain the words she heard from her brother.
Ishii Junsui naturally refused, and started playing with Tsuruko on the tree-lined avenue, causing a scene of spring~
"Toaku, speaking of..." After fighting for a while, Junsui Ishii stopped breathlessly, "How come Kaneda-senpai has never had a quarrel with Tsuruko?"
"Hmph, we have a good relationship and we get along very well, right? You won't be envious of me, Chunsui-chan!"
Speaking of this, Tsuruko instantly became arrogant... Ever since they started dating, Kaneda Dalu has been completely obedient to her.
Even if there were signs of anger, he was the first to apologize...
This kind of neon sign is rare among the rampant male chauvinism! It fully expresses what it means to love deeply...
"How can we repair..."
In fact, every time Kaneda Land wanted to be angry, Tsuruko, as the only eldest lady among the three generations of the Yamaguchi-gumi leader, would jump out to persuade her...
What about "If she is unhappy, she will be offered the best view of Tokyo Bay", "My brother is a rich and powerful celebrity", "If you make her cry during the day, a group of tattooed men in suits will make him cry at night"
"......
Then, a majestic figure will appear in his mind... The first time he saw Yongshan Feng was so impressive!
In the end, Jintian Continent started to PUA themselves,
"Perhaps, this is the price of dating the eldest lady." "Anyway, Tsuruko is also very cute and has a kind heart~" "I have been trapped by Tsuruko in this life, just accept my fate!" "I will definitely be happy in the future~"
This creates a very good boyfriend who is always obedient!
So how to create a good boyfriend? Everyone knows it, right~
........
People come and go from Toei's building and come in again, some are for movie projects, some are for accounting settlement, and there are many young people with dreams who want to board the big ship of Toei.
However, Neon, which was supposed to be one of the best established film production companies, seems to have been overtaken by a dark horse in recent years. It has not won any major awards, and even its movie box office and movie production speed have been far exceeded.
At this time, Toshitaka Yamamura, the director of the film and television business planning and sales department, was reporting on the progress of various projects in the recent period with Takafumi Ogasawara, the head of Toei's headquarters.
"Director, in May, we have another movie to be released, and two more movies are already in preparation!"
Ogasawara Takafumi drank coffee slowly:
"In May...let's put it this way, it will collide with Shuyou's "The Camera Don't Stop"?"
".....Hi!"
Although he didn't want to, Toshitaka Yamamura had to explain,
"According to the information I heard, in the first half of this year Shuyou should be completely focused on "The Summer of Kikujiro" to win the Palme d'Or, as well as TV series... This guy Naoki Nagayama clearly has no movie plans before.
, but I didn’t expect that it would be filmed in less than a month..."
"One month..." Ogasawara Takafumi sighed, "The speed of tree friends..."
One film per quarter, which has really driven other film production companies to death in recent years!
You must know that in other film studios, it is great to be able to produce one film a year. Even a light red romance film takes about half a year...
The only movies that can compete with Tree Friends in terms of speed are really small movies with only two people and one cameraman!
"Yeah...it's said that the movie "Don't Stop the Camera" was shot to the end, and the main shots and plot were all completed in a short time! So the subsequent editing was also very fast."
Ogasawara Takafumi nodded: "Indeed, several old friends are saying that this movie is groundbreaking and novel, and it is eye-catching... They are all very optimistic about the director Naoki Nagayama."
"...it's just...our movie is about to collide with him head-on!"
Yamamura Toshitaka was silent for a moment, and then expressed his opinion:
"This... Chief, should we postpone the release?"
For a movie, delaying and withdrawing is a very important matter. It shows that the previous investment in publicity has been wasted and it has also lost credibility among movie fans... However, no matter what, this is worse than
Not as good as the box office...
You must know that for a period of time, the audience's wallet will be counted. Watching a movie is not a necessary thing, just watch one in a short time...
If all the audiences during this period are attracted by "The Cameras Don't Stop", then the box office of our own movies will definitely be miserable.
There are very few movies that can be re-released and become popular again. Most movies earn the most box office during their premiere!
"Well..." Ogasawara Takafumi pondered for a while, and finally opened his eyes and said firmly, "No!"
"?"
"Are we going to show everyone that we, Toei, are afraid of Shuyu?!" Ogasawara Takafumi's tone became stern, "We are Neon's largest film studio! We have a history of more than a hundred years! And Shuyu Pictures, but
Only five years!”
"If we give in, Minister Yamamura, do you know what will happen?"
"Forehead....."
Yamamura Toshitaka actually wanted to say, it's business, it's money-making, it's not too shabby to avoid the sharp edges... However, seeing the expression on the head's face, he immediately changed his attitude,
"It will make the tree friends feel proud and think that they have defeated Toei!"
"..." Ogasawara Takafumi glanced at him with disgust, "Mr. Yamamura, your level is too low!"
"This will make the president lose face in front of shareholders!"
"...."
Yamamura Toshitaka didn't know what to say for a while.
"For the president, the box office of a movie is nothing, but his own face is a big deal!"
Ogasawara Takafumi breathed a sigh of relief. The president of Toei can be said to be a group of people at the top of the neon pyramid. The consortium behind Toei and the Okada family are all real capital predators.
"So...what do you have to give me, the chief?"
"Let it be released normally!" Ogasawara Takafumi said, and then he felt that Naoki Nagayama's tree friend was indeed a bit hateful, "Didn't you say that the first half hour of "The Camera Don't Stop" was terrible?"
"Hi?"
"Let the media focus on this point to promote it, and let the audience leave within half an hour!" Ogasawara Takafumi continued, "If we continue to promote that some people will leave the venue without being able to see it for half an hour, and they will also scold Naoki Nagayama...
..."
"In short, we can't let Nagayama Naoki have an easy time!"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Ogasawara Takafumi felt like he was letting out a sigh of relief.
"........Hi!"
Yamamura Toshitaka was silent, and then he realized that the top executives of Toei are just ordinary people, who also have joys and sorrows... and are also stingy...
After all, the world is just a grassroots team... Ogasawara Takafumi just relies on his family background and qualifications...
