It seems that after entering summer, the pace of life suddenly becomes much faster.
But now I have to rush between the studio and the new headquarters every day, and sometimes I have to go to the photography base in Ota Ward... It seems that as the stall gets bigger and bigger, people will automatically become busy.
This is how desire gets higher and higher~
In previous years, Nagayama Naoki would have spent a leisurely day in the shaded verandah, escaping from the summer heat.
"It must be because Yamazakura-in has been renovated!"
Nagayama Naoki was eating popsicles at the photography base in Ota District while complaining, looking for reasons for his busyness.
"If I were still in Yamasakura-in, I would definitely not watch the weird blessing ceremony here!"
A temporary awning with flying colorful ribbons had been set up in front of him. There was also an offering table inside, and a goddess in colorful clothes was preparing for a blessing ceremony.
Yes, it’s that goddess again! The business has expanded to Ota City!
Today is the launch ceremony of "Squid Game"!
The entire crew, including the leading actor Yutaka Nanjo, the second male lead Mugi Takewaki, the villain Yasuaki Kurata, and Tomokazu Miura, all came to the scene and were waiting under the awning.
"Speaking of which, this goddess is quite old. Is it okay to dance on a hot day?" Naoki Nagayama asked Shuichi Itou next to him.
"Silly tape!" Itou Shuichi was full of confidence, "Grandma Murata is a powerful figure and has a strong body. There will be no problem in dancing!"
On the other side, Yoshimura Otomo, who was also invited to participate, smiled:
"Don't worry, Naoki-san... Even for the sake of such a generous red envelope, Granny Murata will cheer up and will never let the blessing ceremony stop halfway!"
"...I just care about the health of the elderly..." Nagayama Naoki opened his mouth slightly and looked at the two people next to him coldly, "You two guys, you only care about the blessing ceremony.
Success or failure? Is there any humanity left?!"
"...."
Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo looked at each other, with a hint of shame flashing in their eyes... Could it be that money has blinded their consciences?
Eh? That’s not right, we are capitalists and we don’t have such a thing!
Thinking of this, the two people's eyes suddenly became clear:
"Naoki-san... what you said makes sense. We will give Granny Murata an additional high-temperature fee!"
"..."
Nagayama Naoki continued to eat his popsicle silently. Forget it, he finally got more money from the goddess~
After the auspicious time came, the goddess first paid homage to all directions, and then asked the director and producer of "Squid Game" to offer incense. Then she danced in front of the altar table and reported to all the gods. Finally, she breathed heavily and informed everyone that the gods
I have accepted the tribute from the crew, and this filming will definitely go smoothly...
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Murata!" After the blessing ceremony, Nagayama Naoki thanked the goddess as usual, "Without Grandma Murata, we wouldn't be at ease!"
Priestess Murata had already adjusted her breathing at this time, but the physical exertion was too great and her body was a little weak. She could barely stand with the help of her apprentice.
Seeing this guy in front of me talking nice words, I just want to complain... If you are really worried, why didn't there be a blessing ceremony before the filming of "The Camera Don't Stop"?!
However, facing the financial owner, she naturally can't say that!
"President Nagayama is joking... The old lady is just doing a little bit of personnel work. The main thing is President Nagayama and Director Itou. You are talented and lucky, and whatever you do will go smoothly!"
"Where is it~" Itou Xiuyi smiled happily, he was naturally happy to be praised.
Granny Murata turned and pulled her apprentice to the front:
"However, President Yongshan, Director Yitou, and the old lady are getting old, and they may not be able to communicate with gods in the future... But my disciples have inherited the gods worshiped by their families. Their inspiration is not inferior to mine, and they are even more dedicated.
I sacrificed one of my eyes in exchange for the ability to communicate with all kinds of gods!"
"If there is any need in the future, let him help pray~"
Nagayama Naoki, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo all looked at the short and thin man next to them, and saw one of his eyes with white light... Sure enough, he looked like he had a story.
"Hey, please do it from now on!"
Fangcun Dayou nodded. He knew the rules of the rural goddess. When he gets older, he will find a somewhat disabled person to inherit the family business.
Nagayama Naoki also realized that this is probably a system similar to Tohoku Chuma Tangkou~
When the blessing ceremony is officially over, the filming of the first scene will begin!
In a scene set up like a subway platform, the leading actor Yukata Nanjo and Tomokazu Miura, who plays the role of a participant in the selection game, have the first duel!
.......
"Sir, do you want to play a game with me?"
While waiting for the train on the subway platform, Miura Tomokazu, who was wearing a suit and leather tie, asked the sloppy Nanjo Yutaka.
"What?" Yutaka Nanjo was a little puzzled, and then he began to mutter, "What's your new sales method? Sales are really hard now... I used to make harassing calls, but now even pedestrians on the road
The harassment started..."
Miura Yuka did not pay attention to Nanjo Yutaka's thoughts, but opened the suitcase slowly. Inside were two exquisite pictures, one red and one blue, as well as several neat stacks of Fukuzawa Yukichi (10000).
Nitobe Inzo (5000) and Natsume Soseki (1000)...the latest version of banknotes!
This made Yutaka Nanjo subconsciously stop what he was saying.
"Sir, have you ever played video games?!"
Miura Tomokazu, who was in a suit and leather tie, took out the picture and explained clearly and unhurriedly,
"You and I can play Takumi. Every time you win, I will give you 10,000 yen!"
Nanjo Yutaka looked at Miura Tomokazu in surprise, as if he was watching some kind of lunatic. Playing cartoons is a game only played by children:
"So if I flip your picture over, you have to give me 10,000?"
"Yes!" Miura Tomokazu said seriously, "But on the contrary, if I win, you have to give me 10,000 yen..."
Nanjo Yutaka was shocked by such a game and couldn't believe it for a moment.
Miura Yuhe approached slightly and increased his firepower:
"I'll let you attack first!"
In the picture-playing game, the side that attacks first has a great advantage. Because it is very simple, it can easily win.
Yutaka Nanjo plays a down-and-out middle-aged man who happens to be short of money. He was chased for debt because of a loan shark, and was even forced to sign a body donation agreement... the kind that involves selling a kidney...
.
After hearing this, I was very excited and looked at the brand new banknotes in the box ready to move, but I still couldn't believe such a good thing.
"Let me tell you, I am not in a good mood today. If you play tricks on me, I will beat you up!!!"
Miura Yuka smiled and said nothing.
"Then I really have to attack first!" Yutaka Nanjo continued.
"Which color do you choose?"
Miura Tomokazu held up two red and blue pictures, just like Morpheus in "The Matrix" handing Neo two red and blue capsules, like the temptation of the devil~
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa..."
The next scene is naturally a game of cartoons. According to the script, it is natural that Yutaka Nanjo has never played the first time... But at this time, something unexpected happened...
Because this picture flipping cannot be done manually, it must be flipped over by a real person... In the next few times when the picture was played, Miura Tomokazu, who was supposed to overturn his opponent, always failed...
..
"Again!" "Again!" "Please give me another chance..."
Miura Yuka's expression changed from surprise to surprise, to unconvinced...
"Hahaha~" Yutaka Nanjo, who was watching from the side, couldn't help laughing, "Tomowa-san, you can't even draw cartoons?"
"..." Miura Yuka blushed, "There must be something wrong with this picture!"
"Forget it, forget it, it's obvious that you don't know how to fight!" Yutaka Nanjo said with a smile, "Come on, come on, the camera is facing the picture anyway, and it will be edited later. I'll help you!"
"Pop!" Didn't turn over...
"Haha, I'm not good at it...let me get better at it."
"Pa!" Still didn't turn over...
"Haha... I haven't played for a long time. I didn't find the angle well... Come again!"
"Snapped!"......
The picture on the ground seemed to be a silent mockery, and Nanjo Yutaka couldn't help it! Even Miura Yuka next to him had a smile on his face. It's embarrassing to be embarrassed by one person, but if there are two people, there will be a shield!!
Director Itou Xiu couldn't stand it anymore: "You two guys can't even make a cartoon???"
"I'll come, I'll come!"
"Pa!" "Hey, should I go?"
"Pa!" "You're kidding!"
"Snapped!""......."
Naoki Nagayama felt like he was watching a comedy, and three grown men couldn't beat a cartoon!!!
"Let me do it! I didn't say it, you are all happy!!!"
"Snapped!"......
The pictures on the ground were motionless, and the silence at this moment was deafening!!
Nagayama Naoki slowly straightened up and said firmly: "These two pictures are not done well! They do not conform to scientific principles! So they cannot be turned over!"
"...."
"Pfft~" "Hahaha~" "Naoki-san can't beat me either!" "Same with Shuichi-san!" "Haha~" "Pfft~"
Laughter seemed to be contagious, spreading around the filming set... No one expected that the game of cartoons could stump so many adults!
"Shuichi-san..." Naoki Nagayama suggested, "There are still a lot of shots... It looks like we need to find some masters of animation..."
"Yes!" Yi Tangxiu nodded solemnly.
So next, the crew started the "Shuyou Pictures' First Cartoon Film Championship", and the winner will get the opportunity to be a film stand-in in the film... for a salary!
In the end... it was Yoshimura Otomo who won...
I saw a contemptuous smile on his wrinkled face, which was over fifty years old: "Haha, I am quite young...I am the king of cartoons within a ten-mile radius!"
........
After solving this accident, the first scene can continue.
Miura Tomokazu threw down his red picture hard, and as the camera turned, the blue picture on the ground flipped over with a pop!
Yutaka Nanjo loses! He’s going to lose money!
He looked at Miura Yuka with helplessness, because he didn't have a penny on him now...
"Don't you have any money?"
Miura Tomokazu was keenly aware of it, but he didn't force him to give money too much. Instead, he smiled meaningfully,
"Then use your body to repay!!!"
"???Body?"
Before Nanjo Yutaka could react, a slap came over quickly and hit him in the face with a snap!
Blinded everyone else!
Even Naoki Nagayama felt pain when he looked at him... But this was Nanjo Yutaka's request. If you want to be hit, you have to really hit him. Anyway, it's just a few slaps...
"One slap is worth ten thousand yen!"
Miura Yuka showed a comfortable smile~
Looking at this smile, Naoki Nagayama knew that the slap just now must have some personal grudges! Maybe Yutaka Nanjo smiled too hard just now!
"Do it again!" Nanjo Yutaka was angry and said immediately!
So next, I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, and after a while, he slapped another sloppily dressed man in the face...
Soon, Yutaka Nanjo's face became slightly swollen! The anger in his heart continued to rise!
Until I don’t know how many times later, Yutaka Nanjo shook his blue picture hard and knocked over the other red picture!
His whole body became excited, and he stretched out his arms to slap back!
But when he was about to reach out, Miura Yuka grabbed his arm, and then stuffed a Fukuzawa Yukichi into his palm... Miura Yuka's face was full of a smile that made people want to punch him:
"I lost to you. According to the rules, I will give you 10,000 yen~ Congratulations!"
"...."
Nanjo Yutaka forgot that the other party was a rich man...it seemed that this slap could not be returned...
At the end, Nanjo Yutaka, with a slightly swollen face, sat on a bench in the subway station and counted the bills in his hands, his face full of joy.
I made at least 500,000 yuan in one day today!
"Sir...if you continue playing different games for a few days, you can make a lot of money!" Miura Yuka invited, "Would you like to give it a try?"
"Mr. Huan... you are trying to do a pyramid scheme!" Yutaka Nanjo said disdainfully, "I'm not stupid. I want to lose the money I won today?! I won't do it!"
At this time, Miura Yuka showed his true face, stood up with a serious face, and said seriously:
"Mr. Mori Takuto! You should have been collected for debt today and forced to sign a body donation agreement!"
"...!!!" Takuto Mori, played by Yutaka Nanjo, was full of surprise, "How did you know?!"
Miura Yuka handed over a business card:
"This is an opportunity to turn around..."
"...."
"Cut!" Shuichi Itou's excited voice came from outside the venue, "Okay! The first scene today, passed!!!"
Hearing the director's words, the entire crew relaxed! Everyone began to celebrate and applaud each other...
After the blessing ceremony, there is only this scene. Once it is finished, it means that the project has officially begun!
There is also a start-up party today!
........
“I didn’t expect the first scene to take so long!”
Yoshimura Otomo and Nagayama Naoki, who had been standing by, sighed.
Itou Shuichi walked up to the two of them: "But fortunately it has started smoothly!"
"Well... the leading actor also acted very well..." Naoki Nagayama looked at Nanjo Yutaka in the field, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "But let him apply ice cubes quickly, otherwise he will disappear.
Swelling is very troublesome!”
"Haha, it is indeed."
Yi Tangxiu smiled and then ordered a staff member to convey the message. Turning his head, he said to his two friends:
"Then let's go back to the city center!"
"Well...after all, after signing the contract with TBS, I still have to celebrate with the minister and others!"
Fangcun Dayou nodded,
"Naoki-san, you can't escape this time!"
"...funny, why are you running away?"
Nagayama Naoki turned around and walked towards the parking lot to drive... Just kidding, I'm not afraid of drinking flower wine!!!
The reason why I didn’t go before was entirely because I didn’t want to make Akina unhappy!
